Howald Volunteers at Keizer Community Food Bank prepare to serve the area’s hungry the afternoon of Monday, June 29. By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes If it weren’t for a federal program making certain fresh produce and dairy products were getting to those in need, Jim Johnson is fairly certain the Keizer Community Food Bank (KCFB) would have been overwhelmed weeks ago. “The whole supply chain has been disrupted and most of what is on our shelves right now is food we purchased at Grocery Outlet,” said Johnson, KCFB manager. “It's very frustrating.” In less straining times, the Oregon Food Bank would send a weekly list of available items to community food banks like KCFB, it would include staples like peanut butter, pasta, canned meats and vegetables, frozen meats and other items. Johnson would decide which items were needed and a purchase would be arranged through Marion Polk Food Share, the regional partner to the Oregon Food Please see FOOD, Page A7 Happy 4th of July!

HOWALD Of the Keizertimes The Keizer City Council will hold its fi nal public hearing on changes to the city charter before developing a ballot measure at its meeting Monday, July 6. The meeting will be held at the Keizer Civic Center beginning at 7 p.m. The changes under consideration for the charter, the city’s founding document, were recommended by a task force that spent the past six months scrutinizing every word and comma. The council convened the task force with an eye toward removing a section that marginalizes LGBTQ+ residents. The removal of the offending section, Section 44, is the major change recommended by the task force, but its members also found other ways to make the document more inclusive, such as using less gendered language throughout the document. The fi rst portion of the the public hearing was held June 15. At that meeting Michelle Roland-Schwartz, executive director of the Oregon Sexual Assault Task Force, testifi ed in support of the action. “One of the things we know about the LGBTQ+ community is that they experience disproportionate rates of all forms of violence, as well as harassment in school settings and their workplaces,” said Roland- Schwartz. “One of the things we look for is where we can have protective factors Please see CHARTER, Page A4 An apology… In the June 5, 2020 issue of the Keizertimes, an editorial cartoon ran on the Opinion page that was insensitive. The issue was the call for defunding of police department that are sweeping the nation in light of the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. I am solely responsible for that cartoon running. I choose the cartoon to illustrate an accompanying editorial against defunding police departments. I apologize to the community and any segment that felt slighted by their local newspaper.

Fisher’s discontent was echoed by another member of the committee, Wayne Frey. “When we were looking at this through Safe Routes to Schools, we saw it as a mul- tiuse path and not to allow parking there. I’m shocked to see cars there and I don’t think cars should be there,” Frey said. Keizer Public Works Di- rector Bill Lawyer addressed the parking issue at an earlier city council meeting.
