When Ready received the award, she was overcome with emotion. “There wasn't a whole lot of dry eyes. I had no clue. But that's not why we do what we do. You don't go into things like that thinking, 'ooh I might get recognized.' There are so many people that do so much in our community. There are so many people that are so de- serving,” Ready said. Ready fi rst started getting really involved in the Keiz- er community fi ve years ago when she was asked to help at an event by Danielle Bethell, the executive director of the Keizer Chamber of Com- merce. “Danielle grabbed hold of me and asked me to come help at an event. It was then I realized how much I loved it. I think it opened my eyes to what the needs were,” Ready said. “She really honed in on saying yes and doing the right thing, even when it wasn't popular and she made that ap- parent to me. She has an ability to make you want to help.” Bethell, who was on the selection committee for this award, has been able to witness Ready's commitment to the city of Keizer fi rsthand over the past few years. “I was moved the night of the banquet by her reaction, I knew she would be surprised and I expected her to have a sense of humor about her emo- tion because she really doesn’t seek the limelight. Tammy is a do-er, she shows up when asked, asks to show up when she sees a need and she gets the job done,” Bethell said. “She is someone I admire greatly and I am proud to know she received a small show of grati- tude from the community she serves so open-heartedly.” During the day, Ready works at the Oregon Employ- ment Department as an exec- utive assistant. When she's not at her occupation, it's likely Ready is serving her commu- nity in some capacity. Ready has organized nu- merous fundraisers for the Mc- Nary baseball program — her son, Logan, was on the fresh- man team last season. She also has recently served at the Si- monka Place for Women and Children through the Union Gospel Mission and organized a fundraiser for the Liberty House in Salem. Additionally, Ready volun- teered at the McNary Holiday Bazaar in November and is an active member of the McNary Athletic Booster Club. Most recently, Ready helped hold a pancake fund- raiser at Applebee's on Satur- day, Feb. 1 for a local woman who is battling cancer. Its not that Ready has a hard time saying no to someone for asks for her assistance, she just loves to help people. “I look at it as I get to say yes. I have the ability to say yes. I have people asking me all the time why I do what I do and take time away from fam- ily, and my response to them is 'why don't you'?” Ready said. Ready acknowledged that part of the reason for her ser- vant's heart is that she grew up poor eating “oatmeal and po- tatoes for breakfast lunch and dinner for weeks on end.” “Tammy is a passionate ser- vant. Her childhood had some bumps and I believe due to that she gets great joy in working to prevent those same bumps for children today,” Bethell said. “I would say her soul is deep- ly fi lled through her efforts of putting others fi rst. She de- serves this award because she would never have wanted it. People like Tammy don’t do the many things they do for awards, they do it out of love and because its who they are.” Ready also credits having an understanding family and an ability to handle many things at once for her willingness to serve in so many different ca- pacities. “I have a really good hus- band. I'm super lucky with that. He just gets me. I'm a pretty good juggler, and if I'm doing something, I try and bring people with me. It's true that many hands make light work,” Ready said. “You have to fi gure out what is important to you, and this is important to me.” “I love our Keizer commu- nity. I love the businesses and the people in it. Everyone is doing something, and when there is a need, everyone does more,” Ready said. While proton therapy was one option still on the table, the family plans were to stay in Salem for now. The Keizer Police Association is running the GoFundMe campaign, it can be found at tinyurl.com/ ofccarroll. More than $22,000 had been donated to cover Dan’s medical bills at press time. There are also a few support bracelets left at the KPD station. The support bracelets are black with the words, “Fight hard K013.” K013 is Carroll’s callsign on the police radio frequency. They are $5 each. After the initial diagnosis, further treatment discovered cancerous tissue in his shoulder, spine, hips, liver and stomach. Intensive chemotherapy and radiation treatment followed. The Carroll family has medical insurance, but his family has already incurring signifi cant out-of-pocket expenses. Funds collected through GoFundMe will be placed into a trust and withdrawn to pay for medical expenses. Any excess funds will be donated to cancer research. Dan’s battle began with a level 3 tumor on his esophagus and cancer cells spreading to the lymph nodes. Esophageal cancer is more common among men than among women, according the American Cancer society website. The odds of surviving esophageal cancer have improved with more modern treatments, but it tends to be one of the tougher cancers to treat if it cannot be removed through surgery. police scanner TUESDAY, JAN. 28 4:35 a.m. - Criminal trespassing in the 4000 block of River Road N. 9 a.m. - Traffi c accident in the 1000 block of Chemawa Road N. 10:14 a.m. - Truancy violation in the 500 block of Chemawa Road N. 11:19 a.m. - Shoplifting in the looking back 5 YEARS AGO An awarding night Former city councilors scored a sweep at the 2014 Keizer Chamber First Citizen Award Banquet last Saturday, Jan. 31 at Keizer Quality Suites.
