HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Like many other agencies in the pandemic era, Keiz- er Public Works modifi ed its operations in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Bill Lawyer, Keizer Public Works director, said the chang- es began on March 23. “The fi rst thing we did was divide the fi eld staff into two groups that are now working 12-hour shifts a day,” Lawyer said. “They work three days on and then three off and then four days on and four days off. That was done to reduce the opportunity for one person to be infected and take out the entire crew.” That is a model many pub- lic service agencies and fi rst responders have switched to throughout the country to contain infections when they occur. “Beyond that we’ve buck- led down with good house- keeping and cleaning measures. When they’re done with their KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald Contractors started clearing the way for a new asphalt pathway along Delight Street North this week. week, they have a routine to go through to for cleaning before the next crew comes in,” he said. Public works staff plan to continue the rigorous sched- ules and cleaning until new guidance arrives from higher authorities. At the outset, Lawyer put the focus on maintaining and servicing the city’s water sup- ply and let lower-priority items like meter maintenance rest on the back burner. In the weeks since Oregonians were told to practice social distancing and stay at home, parks have be- come more of a priority. “We’ve seen the usage of By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Keizer Police Department offi cials are reminding res- idents to clear their cars of valuables and lock them up at night because thieves are targeting unlocked vehicles with increased frequency. Outright motor vehicle theft has increased in the weeks since the COVID-19 pandemic began, said Chief John Teague at a Keizer City Council meeting Monday, April 6. Cara Steele, the KPD 3 wars in 30 years PAGE A3 crime analyst, said thefts from vehicles, known as car clouts in police parlance, are not the stereotypical smash- and-grab. “Ninety to 95 percent are the result of an unlocked door or open window,” Steele said. “We might see a change if everyone starts locking their car door.” The problem with track- ing car clouts – and appre- hending offenders – is that by the time the crimes are reported and trends emerge, Please see POLICE, Page A4 Easter joy Library turned food pantry PAGE A6 Please see WORKS, Page A9 Governor urges use of homemade face masks Gov. Kate Brown is urging all Oregonians to wear face masks – homemade ones are fi ne – when in public spaces. “This is a rapidly-evolving situation, and each day we learn more about this virus,” said Brown. The CDC has updated its guidance regarding the use of homemade, cloth masks in public: wearing cloth masks in public places like grocery stores can help prevent those who are sick – particularly unknowingly infected, asymp- tomatic people – from spread- ing the virus further. STAY HOME STAY SAFE Skyline comes to you! “That last point is a very important detail: wearing a cloth mask may not keep you from getting sick, but it can help you prevent spreading the virus to others,” Brown said. Following the strict social distancing guidelines put in place throughout Oregon ear- lier in the outbreak is still the best method for containing the spread and appears to be having a positive effect. “Staying home is saving lives in Oregon. When you’re in public for essential activi- ties like grocery shopping, stay • At home test drives • At home deal transaction home service pick up • At and delivery vehicles are sanitized • All before and after service and test drives. Shop online and click at home test drive or at home service six feet away from other peo- ple. Continue to wash your hands and properly cover your coughs and sneezes. I know this hasn’t been easy, and I ap- preciate the sacrifi ces Orego- nians have made. We must stay the course.” Brown also pleaded with the state’s residents to not use medical-grade masks. Those are in short supply and “des- perately” needed by frontline health care workers treating COVID-19 patients. Additional guidance is available from the CDC and the Oregon Health Authority.
