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that was revoked, the facili-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

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.”

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.

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.

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.
