Frank opted to retire from the fi re service not because he’d lost his enthusiasm, but because another opportunity came calling. Frank’s parents owned the True Value Hard- ware in Keizer and a second location in West Salem. As they reached their Golden Years, they hoped their son would take over the business. Frank graduated from San Jose State University with a degree in business manage- ment and started working at the family’s hardware store in Keizer soon thereafter. At that time, it went by the name Coast to Coast. Frank ran both stores, over- saw a change to Ace Hardware and, fi nally, the shuttering of the Keizer location when a confl ux of economic changes forced him to make the tough decision.

Buttigeig raised $3,804.57 from two donors. The average contri- bution was nearly $346. P RESIDENT D ONALD T RUMP Trump led all of his oppo- nents during the fi rst half of the year but now lags behind three Democrats. Tump’s to- tal, $3,224, and average do- nation, $73, were dwarfed by Democratic contenders, but he had 16 donors – more than twice the number of each of the three leading can- didates. S EN . A MY K LOBUCHAR Klobuchar’s $1,560 total all came from a single do- nor in four separate contri- butions of $390. It was still a marked increase over her Keizer-based support of $190 in the fi rst half of the year. O THERS Businessman Andrew Yang found support from two Keizer donors totaling $445.78. Sen. Kamala Harris found support from one do- nor to the tune of $262.84. Noticeably absent from the list of candidates receiving donations from Keizer res- idents is former Vice Pres- ident Joe Biden, who leads the Democratic fi eld in many polls. looking back in the KT 5 YEARS AGO Utility box = art canvas? group was slated for Wednes- day, Nov. 20, past press time. It is still unknown how parking for major tournaments that bring in numerous outside vehicles will be handled. Com- munity volunteers, either con- nected with the youth leagues or from the public at large, will also need to be wrangled up to staff the concession stand during tournament weekends with longer-than-usual hours of operation. Cherry City Baseball has hosted tournaments at KLL Park in the past, but they were more limited in scope. “In those tournaments, we had about 10 teams each in three divisions. In some of the upcoming tournaments, we’ll be adding travel teams in 8U all the way up to 14U,” Hughes said. He said KLL Park has an added benefi t for local teams that often gets overlooked. “There’s a lot of grand- parents who want the oppor- tunity to watch the kids play and having a place right in Salem-Keizer is going to be a big opportunity for them,” Hughes said. Reiners added that having a hotel and, soon, a destination burger joint in Keizer Station sweetened the pot. Signing outside tourna- ments to use the fi elds at KLL Park is seen, by some, as the way forward for the complex as a whole. Members of Keiz- er’s two prominent youth ball leagues, Keizer Little League and McNary Youth Base- ball, have been discussing for months how to create a system that treats both fairly and rais- es money for the complex and the leagues themselves.

The seven members of the ‘75 state championship squad include Stacey Stone, Howard Harris, Tony Young, Larry Marshall, Ron Ziebert, Jim Ruscoe and Tom Leavitt. 15 YEARS AGO Teen justice is coming to town 20 YEARS AGO A day of ceremony The hallways of the old Keiz- er Schoolhouse rang with the voices of children once again Monday.

The current plan involves stacking drive-through traffi c from the entrance to In-N- Out to roughly the Cherriots transit center. “This would be accom- plished by segregating off a lane with cones and fl aggers just for those wanting to use the drive- through,” Eppley said. In-N-Out has the abili- ty to stack 80 vehicles on site for the drive-through with an additional 70 spaces for dine- in. The business is planning for a peak of 180-vehicles in the drive-through line based on other openings. Traffi c stacking is not expected to impact In- terstate 5. Another option includes stacking vehicles in the park- ing lot of Volcanoes Stadium and then metering them out to the east side of Target. Eppley said the In-N-Out planned meetings with Volcanoes and Target representatives to deter- mine if an agreement could be reached. Regardless of which plan gets greenlit, there are going to be opportunities for Keizer Police Department traffi c team member to work overtime paid for by In-N-Out to aug- ment the fl agging crew they are hiring. Representatives from Holi- day Inn Express & Suites and the shopping center manage- ment team also attended the meeting. cuffed in Keizer Magnifi cent Seven rides again Keizer’s Youth Peer Court now has nine members, enough to launch the program next Thursday.
