Food bank struggles with
disruption of supply chain

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

partner to the Oregon Food

One more chance to chime
in on city charter changes
By ERIC A. 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

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.

“There’s not a lot of room

Fisher’s discontent was
echoed by another member of

“When we were looking
at this through Safe Routes to

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.
