Construction contractors are making steady progress despite
the COVID-19 pandemic at McNary High School.
BY MATT RAWLINGS
Of the Keizertimes
The spread of COVID-19
has brought much of the
planet to a halt. The Salem-
Keizer Public Schools bond
projects,
however,
will
continue to move forward.
Salem-Keizer voters passed
the $619.7 million bond
project — which has recently
increased to $677.7 billion
thanks to market premiums,
earnings on bond proceeds,
grants and reimbursements
— in May of 2018, and

Sandy Olson was a stalwart sup-
porter of the Keizer Police Depart-
ment. She wasn’t a reserve offi cer. She
didn’t volunteer in the police station.
She made sure the department’s em-
ployees were well fed with at least four
coffee cakes a month.
“I think she had probably been do-
ing it for 15 years,” said daughter Karla
Newman.
Providing treats for the men and
women in blue was such an important
part of Olson’s life, she made it part of
her legacy. She supervised one last cof-
fee cake delivery on her 83rd birthday,
April 20, and the offi cers and staff of
the Keizer Police Department turned
out en masse to sing Happy Birthday.
Olson passed away six days later af-
ter complications arose from heart at-
tack she suffered in Jan-
uary (See obituary, Page
A5).
Newman and her sis-
ter, Nola Wilkerson, plan
to carry on the monthly
donations in her honor.
“We asked her before
she passed away if there
was anything she wanted
us to continue doing for
her like oyster stew on
Christmas, and she re-
sponded with the coffee
cakes,” Newman said.
Newman said her
S. Olson mother started baking in
high school and simply
never stopped.
“She went on to own a bakery
and donut shop and made all sorts of
things,” Newman said.
Olson met the Wampler family
through church and when she found
