Getting to know our neighbors
Reporter Lauren Murphy has been visiting Keizer’s retirement communities
with the purpose of getting to know some of our seniors, the lives
they’ve lived and what they are up to now.
Randy
Conover
Ken & Nadine Teshow
Before retirement,
Ken Telschow served
in the Navy for four
years and then was
a millwright for a
sawmill. In his retire-
ment he enjoys be-
ing a member of the
Farifi eld Grange and
cooking chicken fried
steak at the Keizer /
Salem Area Senior
Center the third Friday of every month. He has been working
with the senior center for about 12 years. He has been married to
Nadine for 61 years. His advice to young people is to be enthusi-
astic about working and doing a good job.
Nadine worked at Safeway and KeyBank before retiring. She
and Ken have two children and two grandchildren. They joked
about calling their grandchildren when they need help with tech-
nology. One of the things she enjoys in her retirment is making
quilts for the Liberty House. Before coming to Willamette Lu-
theran, she and her husband were campground hosts in Klamath
County. They were there during the Biscuit Fire in 2002. Her ad-
vice to young people is to plan ahead for the future, specifi cally
retirement.
Don Adams
A conversation with
Don Adams can be likened
to a game of mental chess.
He has a passion for
fi nding and writing oth-
er people’s stories and has
written several books. He
met his wife in high school
and was married for 45
years. He had a production
company in Hollywood
but walked away because
he didn’t want his kids to
run into the wild life of
Hollywood stars. “If you
go from Beverly Hills to
Scotts Mills, you’re crazy,”
he said, which is exactly
what he did.
Randy Conover has lived
on and off at the Oaks at
Sherwood since 1997 and is
the president of the residents
council. He was in an accident
in 1996 which made him real-
ize that when life gets hard you
can make good choices and
bad choices. Conover wants
to foster a stronger connection
between the community and
the recovery home, he encour-
aged the community to come
visit and spend time with resi-
dents. Zoe, his dog, spends her
days at the home meeting and
loving the residents and her
nights with a family.
His advice to young people
is to go out and make every-
day good for you and good for
somebody else.
Jeffrey Stevens
Words and
pictures
by Lauren
Murphy
Jeffrey Stevens has worn many hats during the course of
his life, he was: a member of the Stylistics, a worker at Intel
and Hewlett-Packard, a husband and a father of seven chil-
dren. He’s not done yet. His stay at the Oaks at Sherwood is
temporary, after he recovers from his upcoming surgery he
plans to get back to enjoying life. Stevens has plans to record
his songbook within the next year and continue to attend all
the musical festivals he can. He said he enjoys playing music
with Tom Grant.
ASK MR. TRASH
Q. I heard about China’s ban on recycling.
What IS recyclable now?
A. Be very careful to only recycle the things on your hauler’s approved list.
PLASTIC BAGS, STYROFOAM, AND WAXY CARTONS WERE NEVER RECYCLABLE!
©1986
PLEASE KEEP THE FOLLOWING GOOD RECYCLABLES EMPTY, CLEAN AND DRY:
• Cardboard and uncoated greyboard boxes (Shipping & cereal type). No frozen food boxes!
• Print-quality paper - newspaper, junk & office paper, and magazines;
• Tin & Aluminum Cans Only - NO foil, trays, or scrap metal;
• Plastic Bottles and Jugs Only - NO bags, tubs, clamshells, bubble Pak, or other plastics.

Forum on
student
success
at MHS
Salem-Keizer
Public
Schools are slated to receive
more than $35 million from
the Student Success Act. The
Student Investment Account
can only be used to meet stu-
dents’ mental or behavioral
health needs, and increase ac-
ademic achievement for stu-
dents while reducing academic
disparities.
Next week, the district
will go out to the communi-
ty through community forums
and focus groups to gather
more feedback about how to
invest funds in the student in-
vestment account. The com-
munity forums will be held
in Keizer at McNary High on
Nov. 18 and in Salem on Nov.
20 at South Salem High. Both
meetings take place from 6-8
p.m. Free dinner and childcare
will be provided.
The district convened a
Student Investment Account
Task Force in September, and
the group wrapped up its ini-
tial phase of work sessions on
October 28. Made up of almost
40 members of the community
and employees from across the
district, the work group honed
its focus on specifi c communi-
ty teams to address the needs of
students who are economically
disadvantaged, Native Ameri-
can, English learners, black or
African American, experienc-
ing homelessness, Native Ha-
waiian or Pacifi c Islanders and
receiving special education
services. The task force will
take the information gathered
to make its fi nal recommenda-
tion to Superintendent Perry
in January.
