Today in History
“Beatlemania” arrives in America. It was the fi rst visit to
the United States by the Beatles, a British rock-and-roll
quartet that had just scored its fi rst No. 1 U.S. hit six days
before with “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” At Kennedy,
the “Fab Four”–dressed in mod suits and sporting their
trademark pudding bowl haircuts–were greeted by 3,000
screaming fans who caused a near riot when the boys
stepped off their plane and onto American soil.

READY: ‘You have to fi gure BATTLE,
out what is important to you’
continued from Page A1
(Continued from Page A1)
recipient of the Service to
Education Award at the 59th
annual Keizer First Citizen &
Awards Banquet on Saturday,
Jan. 18.
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.
