Deborah Johansen. It’s four days before Christmas in the
tiny town of Tinsel, Texas, at the Snowfl ake Inn. Trina, the

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. Numerous employ-

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.

given Keizer’s close proximity
to Portland.
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
