Add your event by e-mailing reporter@keizertimes.com If there is a cycling event in Keizer, Sangster and wife, Mary Ann, are likely leading it. If a child in Keizer has received a free helmet, there is a good chance that the Sangsters were the ones checking for proper fi t. After joining the Rotary Club of Keizer, Sangster organized a Ride to End Polio as a local effort contributing to a global goal on the part of Rotary. He was a champion of having a bike repair station installed at the Keizer Civic Center, and has plans for another. His big project in the coming years is to replace the bike racks at McNary High School – the ones on campus now are the same ones he hitched his bikes to when he was a student there. Sangster is so synonymous with cycling in Keizer that former Keizer mayor Lore Christopher appeared in a tribute video sporting a bicycle helmet. Cycling might be a passion, but Sangster has been a member and chair of the Keizer Planning Commission, Keizer’s voice on the Salem-Keizer Area Transportation Study and a member of the Oregon Traffi c Safety Commission. “Hersch is the right choice because he is a longtime advocate for the city. He is the guy that gets thing done and makes things happened,” said Matt Lawyer, a former colleague of Sangster on the planning commission. “Hersch serves our community with dedication, enthusiasm generosity and kindness,” said current Mayor Cathy Clark. “He’s put heart and soul into everything he’s done.” In addition to crowning a new fi rst citizen, Dave Walery was tapped as Merchant of the Year, Tammy Ready was presented the Service to Education Award and Jeremy Turner was honored with the President’s Award. Walery, owner of Walery’s Premium Pizza in West Salem, was nominated by his employees at the restaurant. The typically gruff Walery was holding back tears when he found out who looking back 5 YEARS AGO Plowing ahead with MHS turf Think of it as an 80,000 square foot carpeting job. That’s what’s in the works for a new artifi cal turf field at McNary High School. The project, which got underway in earnest last year, is expected to begin work June 1, said Bill McNutt, project manager. B D nominated him. When he took the stage, he called out the many members in the audience who were part of his “team” of volunteers. “I think there are more people in this room who are on it than those who aren’t,” he said. Walery is a driving force behind almost every Christmas-related event in Keizer, which earned him the nickname “Mr. Christmas” around town. He has also been one of the lead organizers of the annual KeizerFEST for several years. Walery is a former fi rst citizen himself and a two-time recipient of the President’s Award. Tammy Ready was moved to tears when her name was announced as the recipient of the Service to Education Award. Ready is a consistent presence in conversations about providing for McNary students and athletes and a regular presenter in the school’s College and Career Center. “Danielle Bethell is the reason I got started volunteering in Keizer.

C: Members of the McNary Contemporary Music Program provided entertainment for the evening. D: Karee and Brody Pack with Victoria Goesch. E: Tasha Walery with Cooper Cripe and Marsha Stallings. F: Sara and James Hutches with Jeremy and Rebecca Turner. When people ask me why I volunteer so much, my answer is, ‘Why don’t you?’” Ready said. “Volunteering is one thing you can always do no matter what. Time is what matters.” Jeremy Turner, owner of J. Turner Solutions, maze 10 YEARS AGO Older children will have another option when it comes to playing baseball. And that option marks the return of an old favorite, Babe Ruth baseball. It’s been since 2004 that Babe Ruth was last played in the Keizer-Salem area. THIS WEEK’S MOVIE TIMES 15 YEARS AGO Abominable (PG) Fri 2:30, Sat 12:30, Sun 12:55 The student sit-in last Friday at McNary High was staged to support teachers who have been working without a contract since the beginning of the school year. While teachers have found their own ways to voice protests, the student sit- in was the fi rst of its kind in the ongoing dispute over the teacher contract in the Salem- Keizer School District. Top fi refi ghter honored was selected by Keizer Chamber President Jonathan Thompson to receive this year’s President’s Award. Thompson cited Turner for his willingness to step up and fi ll needs regardless of the challenges at hand, whether it’s repairing a garden at the Keizer branch of the Boys & Girls Club or moving 14 barrels of donated food – on a single trailer – to a sorting station. “I hope that I contribute enough to the community. It was great to come here fi ve years ago and just jump in,” Turner said. 3893 COMMERCIAL ST SE Teacher union, district in mediation next week Several hundred people gathered Friday night at the Keizer Fire Hall to honor the old and bring in the new. The annual Firefi ghter Reception gave local residents a chance to thank all of the fi refi ghters for the job that they do. It also gave the department a chance to honor the class of 1999, and bring in the recruits of 2000.
