In introducing Keizer’s
newest First Citizen, Vickie
Jackson, who was honored
with the award last year, said,
“this award is for a person in
our community working to
make it a better place. They
aren’t doing it because they
want recognition, they don’t
want this award and, when
they get it, they feel like
they’ve been caught … He
got caught.”

The community pillar
ensnared this year was Hersch
Sangster.
Sangster’s
contributions
to the Keizer community in-
clude leadership in school-
based parent groups, the Mc-
Nary Athletic Booster Club, a
tireless advocacy for rights of
cyclists and cycling safety, and
traffi c safety in general among
much more.
“It’s an overwhelming
honor, but don’t catch me
again, please,” said Sangster in
accepting the award.

Memorial mystery sparks
parks policy questions
KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald
A memorial to Rose Sover-
eign in Claggett Creek Park
launched an investigation
and numerous questions.
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
Sometime in early 1993, Carroll Sovereign and step-son Hol-
lis Jackson installed a lattice trellis with climbing roses in the
west end of Claggett Creek Park. A plaque set in stone next to
the memorial reads: “Donated in memory of Rose Sovereign by
family and friends, 1911-1992.”
The only mention of the memorial in city records is a para-
graph in minutes from a Parks Advisory Board Meeting on May
11, 1993 (dug up from the archives by Matt Lawyer, a current
member of the board). It reads:
Mr. (Kevin) Wickman reported a lattice archway with climbing roses
on both sides has been planted in Claggett park in memory of a Keizer
woman by her husband and son.

Little League Park’s
future still muddled
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
The Keizer Little League
Park Long-Range Planning
Task Force is recommending
that the city seek to secure a
long-term lease with an out-
side group to continue oper-
ating the park and complex.
However, the way forward
is far from clear and even
some task force members
seemed poised to oppose
the recommendation when
it hits the dais of the Keiz-
er City Council. There is a
stipulation in the recommen-
dation stating that the city
would take over management
if no suitable lessor is found.
The task force passed the rec- operation and management
ommendation in a 6-3 vote of the park; pursuing a long-
in its fi nal meeting Wednes- term lease of 10 to 25 years;
having the city take over the

spite concerns that it stands
the potential of taking the
focus off Keizer ball players.
“I think it’s something vi-
able and I believe it’s some-
thing we can do,” Diarmit
said. “You can write into
the lease that it is for Keizer
youth and that has to be your
focus. What I hear is we have
a lack of revenue and that ball
has been dropped complete-
ly.”
At one point, Diarmit
even clashed with his fellow
KLL rep, Ryan Siegel, who
appeared to support the city
taking over the park opera-
tions before supporting the
motion for a long-term lease.
That moment gave task force
member Matt Lawyer pause
when casting his vote against
the recommendation.
