HOWALD Of the Keizertimes For the last few weeks, rumors have swirled about the possibility of a Chick-fi l-A restaurant in Keizer Station. While it may still materialize, it is far from certain and a map supposedly showing the location being circulated on social media sites doesn’t match up with any in the city’s possession. Keizer Community Development Director Nate Brown addressed the rumors at a meeting of the Keizer City Council Monday, March 2. “We know that the developers are talking with Chick-fi l-A, but they are in talks with lots and lots and lots of people,” Brown said. Brown specifi cally addressed the map found on social media with a Chick- fi l-A logo on a building located in the “jug handle” of Ulali Drive Northeast. The jug handle is the space between Ulali and Chemawa Road Northeast that sends drivers out of Keizer Station toward Interstate 5. “For anything to happen there with the inclusion of a fast food restaurant, there has to be a master plan revision and, as of yet, that has not even been fi led,” Brown said. It would take a master plan revision and the issuance of a building permit for the Sgt. Rene Bravo “ For anything to happen there with the inclusion of a fast food restaurant, there has to be a master plan revision and, as of yet, that has not even been fi led.” Brown reiterated that the city has no control over the brands that come to Keizer Station. While Chick-fi l-A might still only exist in the dreams of some residents, drivers might notice activity at the site in the coming weeks. “Public works did issue a public improvement permit By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Sirens were heard seeming- ly all around Keizer Tuesday, March 2, at approximately 10 p.m. The cause was a domestic violence incident involving a sergeant at Silverton Police De- partment. The man had to be subdued by a K9 offi cer after barricading himself in a west Keizer home. The man's wife, two children and neighbors had to be evac- uated by police. Keizer police offi cers re- sponded to a home in the 5400 block of Lakeport Street North on a reported domestic distur- bance. The victim reported that her husband, Silverton Police Please see FIL-A, Page A6 Please see OFFICER, Page A6 — Nate Brown, Community Development Director, City of Keizer restaurant’s logo to begin appearing on site maps held by the city. Neither of those things have happened. That doesn’t mean the developers haven’t created mock-ups hoping to entice Chick-fi l-A to Keizer. “We’ve been told that they are working on the application for a master plan revision, but we’ve been told that for months,” Brown said. Two indicted for Salem man’s murder Addition- ally, Mann was indicted for fl eeing or attempt- ing to elude a police of- fi cer. Gon- Dasio Gonzalez zalez was indicted for delivery of a controlled sub- stance. Court documents are scant on details, but claim that the pair were attempting to rob the victim, 21-year-old Oscar Martinez of Salem, and ended up killing him. Martinez was found deceased in a smashed K. Mann van Monday, Feb. 3, in the parking lot of the Keizer Station Starbucks, 2555 Jorie Lane N.E. Upon arriving at the scene, police offi cers discovered the beige Chrysler van collided with parked cars before com- ing to a stop near a small is- land in the parking lot. One caller to 9-1-1 re- ported seeing a male hanging out of the van and falling to the pavement where he was picked up by another vehicle and fl ed the scene at a high rate of speed. An autopsy performed by the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Offi ce revealed Martinez died of a gunshot wound. Mann and Gonzalez were arrested the following day on drug charges and then held in connection with the murder. According to the indict- ment, Mann was driving a vehicle on a highway when police located the pair and then tried to elude them. Gonzalez’s indictment states he was found in possession of a controlled substance that he planned to sell. The men are next expect- ed in the courtroom of Judge Audrey Broyles, for a status check, on March 9. Coronavirus updates PAGE A2 New veterans series PAGE A3 a mile in t ir e h boots By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Two men, who were being held on drug-related charges, have now been indicted in the murder of a Salem man whose body was found in a crashed van near the Starbucks in Keizer Station last month. Dasio Gonzalez, 21, of Sa- lem and Kristian Mann, 21, of Keizer, were indicted on charges of murder, fi rst degree robbery, and being felons in possession of a fi rearm by a grand jury on Feb. 27.

Under Artonya Gemmil, who took over as principal last year, Clear Lake continued to see academic success in the 2018-19 school year. Clear Lake experienced a 5 percent bump in students meeting or exceeding grade level requirements for language arts in 2018-19, going from 66 percent to 71 percent — the state average is at 51 percent. Clear Lake also had 67 percent of their students meeting or exceeding grade level expectations in math, an 11 percent increase from the previous school year — the state average is 43 percent. Along with having the highest marks in Keizer among elementary schools, Clear Lake was the only school in the city to experience growth in math and language arts. They were also one of two schools in Keizer to score “high” in the individual student progress section. 0 State Average Clear Lake 2017-18 Clear Lake 2018-19 few tweaks here and there where I felt it was needed,” Gemmil said. “For the most part with my staff, I trust their professional judgement and what they Wrestlers take their game to state State Average Clear Lake 2017-18 Clear Lake 2018-19 While having every student at grade level is a goal of Gemmil's, what's more important to the Clear Lake principal is making sure her students are progressing at their own pace. “What we do is just meet the kids where they're at and do what we can to make sure they are successful as possible. Sometimes kids will be at grade level and beyond, and sometimes they won't. But our staff is really committed to doing what we can to make sure that students are growing and progressing,” Gemmil said. “We don't put a big emphasis on saying to kids that they must be at grade level, even though that is the goal. We want to make sure that kids are Please see PROGRESS, Page A6
