Howald Enchanted Child Care and Preschool had its emergency care license revoked last week. Business loan winners revealed More help could arrive soon By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes The 18 winners of city-provided, forgivable busi- ness loans were selected Mon- day, May 18, but it may not be the end of what the city makes available to local businesses. The winners of the forgiv- able loans were: Tom’s Profes- sional Services; AJ’s Hideaway Bar and Grill; David B. Ander- son, DDS, PC/Keizer Smiles; Jeff and Sheryl’s; Keizer Sub Shop; N-K Inc.

HOWALD Of the Keizertimes On Friday, May 15, a Keiz- er-based child care center had its license to provide emer- gency child care revoked on charges of mistreatment of children and more. Enchanted Child Care & Preschool with locations on Chemawa Road North and Dietz Avenue Northeast as well as two Salem locations was ordered to stop provid- ing care by Monday, May 18. Michelle Long is owner of the business and denies the allega- tions in a report from the Or- egon Department of Educa- tion (ODE). She has the right to request a hearing to appeal the charges. “Two of the Enchanted Child Care facilities (currently operating as Emergency Child Care) had compliance fi nd- ings against them. Two other locations were closed because the owner/operator and was suspended from the Central Background Registry,” said Melanie Mesaros, communi- cations director for the ODE Early Learning Division. Long was suspended from the background registry as a result of the compliance vio- lations. Mesaros stressed that it was only Long’s license to pro- vide emergency care during the COVID-19 pandemic that was revoked, the facili- ties might continue operating under its regular licenses once Volcanoes update PAGE A12 Please see CARE, Page A4 Keizer Chamber extends reach during pandemic By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes In the weeks since Keizer- ties began sheltering at home and reducing the number of trips they’ve made, the Keizer Chamber of Commerce has redoubled its efforts to support the Keizer business community. Part the opening salvo was quickly establishing social me- dia communities where res- idents could fi nd out which stores and restaurants were open, but quickly shifted to a deeper level of support. “I personally touched 172 businesses in Marion County either in Zoom or in-person meetings,” said Danielle Bethell, executive director of the Keiz- er chamber. “It's really just sit- ting and listening to a business owner and hearing about what their normal operations are like and then helping them break down operational costs to just stay open.” Election results KEIZERTIMES/Lauren Murphy Danielle Bethell, executive director of the Keizer Chamber of Commerce, accepts a donation of face masks from Marion County Commissioners Colm Willis, Kevin Cameron and Sam Brentano. During the pandemic cri- sis, the Keizer chamber and its volunteer members are assisting members and non-members alike. When one local restaurant was trying to navigate a change to take-out service only, ques- tions about delivering alcohol alongside meals arose. Bethell contacted some local breweries to determine what they were doing to navigate Oregon li- quor regulations in addition to PAGE A2 the guidelines affecting all busi- nesses during the pandemic. “What it’s amounted to for most businesses is a lot of con- fusion and feelings of being overwhelmed,” Bethell said. Please see REACH, Page A9 Food truck operators chug along on River Road By LAUREN MURPHY Of the Keizertimes While restaurants are adapting to take-out only models, Keizer’s resident food trucks are in their element. “It really hasn’t hurt our business that much since all the restaurants right now are take-out only, that’s all we do is take-out,” said Russ Rappe, co-owner of Thai Food Express, the red food truck that’s recently appeared on River Road. Rappe is relatively new to the food truck scene, though his wife, Su, has been operating Thai Food Express by herself for nearly four years. When they moved to River Road from South Salem, there were so many costumers Su had to recruit her husband to help. Rappe retired from NORPAC Foods after 34 years to help his wife pursue her passion. “She loves to cook, she loves to make peo- ple happy,” Rappe said. While the warm welcome of their truck is encouraging, it is now their sole source of in- come. Even with the increase in business they are “barely breaking even.” “I was going to move my prices up and change my menu before moving out here, but because everybody’s struggling now we kept them low,” Rappe said. Though the majority of their business tac- tics have stayed the same, Rappe has made some changes in light of the virus. Please see TRUCKS, Page A11 Special delivery PAGE A5 KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald Josh Nelson hands off a box of fresh produce during a food delivery effort coordinated by St. Edward Catholic Church. St. Ed partners with USDA to distribute food Troy Campbell Russ and Su Rappe They don’t need to leave home to live better By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Some areas of Oregon may be reopening, but there are still many going without as a result of the COVID-19 pan- demic. St. Edward Catholic Church is helping feed the hungry with the assistance of the Archdiocese of Portland and a USDA grant. For the next fi ve weeks, St. Edward parishioners and volunteers will be passing out at least 500 food boxes to lo- cal families in need. The next planned hand-out will be Monday, May 25 from 9 a.m. to noon. After that, St. Ed- ward Business Manager Bon- ny Henny asked that those in need check the parish’s Face- book page and website. “What we really need now is someone with a refrigerated trailer that we can park on the site for the next few weeks to store the food as it comes in,” Henny said.
