The Irishman: A long, worthy journey GRASSROOTS
GOVERNMENT
By JORDAN REID
For the Keizertimes
“Nowadays, young people,
they don’t know who Jimmy
Hoffa was. They don’t have a
clue. I mean, they know that
he disappeared or something,
but that’s about it. But back
then, there wasn’t nobody who
didn’t know who Jimmy Hoffa
was.”
Even as someone who re-
ceived his bachelor’s degree in
history, I must admit that Rob-
ert De Niro’s character, the
titular Irishman Frank Sheer-
an, has a point. I vaguely re-
call learning about Hoffa (here
played by the always mesmer-
izing Al Pacino) in Mr. Litch-
fi eld’s infamous AP U.S. His-
tory course, but really… how
important of a historical fi gure
can he be if he’s not men-
tioned in Billy Joel’s We Didn’t
Start the Fire? Turns out he was
very important, as Hoffa’s life
and schemes, as well as Martin
Scorsese’s resultant fi lm, cast a
focused light on a time when
organized crime and politics
went hand-in-hand and gang-
sters had infl uence over every-
thing from the election of pres-
idents to foreign policy.
De Niro’s Frank Sheeran,
a working man turned mob
hitman turned labor union
offi cial is the true core of the
fi lm, however. And what can I
say about De Niro that hasn’t
been said before? The man can
act. Every single person in this
cast can act. What else should
one expect when one of the
most acclaimed directors of our
time gets such names as Rob-
ert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe
Pesci (in his fi rst role since
his unoffi cial retirement
from the fi lm business)
to act out what can only
be described as a passion
project? I was particular-
ly impressed with Ray
Romano as Bill Bufalino,
for no other reason than
my previous belief that
he exclusively did come-
dies. Saying that De Niro
didn’t really stand out in
this cast is the best possi-
ble compliment I can give
to the overall prowess dis-

The Keizer Parks Advisory Committee met Tuesday, Dec. 10.
Here is what was discussed:
• A subgroup of the committee members reported on
efforts to revise the memorial policy in the city’s parks. The
goal is to more clearly delineate the responsibilities of those
making memorial contributions and what the responsibili-
ties of the city will be moving forward.
• Keizer Parks Supervisor Robert Johnson said the in-
creased presence of the area’s homeless residents in parks is
having a noticeable impact on staff time. Cleaning up after
encampments are urged to move on requires taking extra
precautions in many cases.
• Matt Lawyer, a member of the board, followed up on
a request by fellow board member Wayne Frey to install
semi-permanent goal posts at Country Glen Park. Frey
made a pitch for a matching grant in November that was
denied due to concerns over usage. Lawyer launched a
Facebook poll in the area around the park which seemed
to indicate there is support for such facilities, but that many
did not know that less resilient goals had been installed
in the park. The previous goals deteriorated quickly and
didn’t see as much use as Frey hoped for.
• Frey reported on the results of a bike rack inventory in
Keizer parks. Ten of 19 parks have bike racks of varying ca-
pacity. Frey suggested putting Sunset Park in west Keizer at
the top of the list when the city begins looking at installing
additional racks. Johnson said the city is planning to install
a donated bike rack at Meadows Park in the near future.
A bike rack that was taken out at The Big Toy in Keizer
Rapids Park will also be put back once some additional
renovations are complete.
The next meeting of the committee is Tuesday, Jan. 14.
