Still, COVID-19 cases in Oregon rose by more than 300 in fi ve of the past 10 days, peaking as 409 new cases on July 11. While Keizer does not have an identifi ed outbreak of coronavirus, the Oregon State Penitentiary, Santiam Correctional Institution, Salem Hospital, NorPac, Brucepac, and the Salem Amazon facility, all in neighboring zip codes, have had reported outbreaks. It is possible that Keizer’s surge in cases could be linked to those outbreaks and employees that live here, but those details are not part of OHA’s reporting.

HOWALD Of the Keizertimes In early June, the city of Keizer’s computers were hacked and the data therein held hostage until a ransom was paid. Even as city offi cials announced what had happened, details of what happened and how have been scant. Keizer Finance Director Tim Wood plans to debrief the council Monday, July 20, on with more details on what happened and what the recovery process has entailed. The city paid a $48,000 ransom to retrieve access to its data, an expense that the Keizer city council will eventually need to ratify, but there are likely already additional costs the city has incurred as a result of the digital strike. Early last week, Wood said the city staff are still monitoring the network and computers for lingering signs of viruses, continuing to rebuild and repair servers where the data was located, rebuilding some computers that were partially or fully encrypted in the attack, testing the stability of software the city uses and working with an outside consultant “to identify and implement ways to 60+ Active SEE SPECIAL SECTION IA A SPEC 6 0 A tribute to Grandpa Aicher PAGE A10 Please see HACK, Page A5 City looks back on lessons learned, so far By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes In 2019, the Keizer City Council reviewed its emergency preparation plans; “pandemic” wasn’t a word that came up during the discussions. Given that councilors and city staff were caught as off guard as the general population, the council convened a work session Monday, July 13, to talk about the lessons learned so far. “Rather than wait for the fall, I wanted to take advantage and look at where we are midstream. I want to look at where we’ve capitalized on strengths and had weaknesses exposed,” said Mayor Cathy Clark. Each department director offered input on how the pandemic affected their work and the work of city staff.

BY MATT RAWLINGS Of the Keizertimes Although it will look drastically different from years past, McNary High School will be hosting a multitude of in-person graduation ceremonies on Friday, August 7. Each ceremony will be held at the McNary football fi eld. Because of Marion County’s phase two restrictions on outdoor public gatherings, each ceremony will feature a maximum of 45 graduates. Each student can invite up to four people to the ceremony. All attendees are encouraged to socially distance and wear masks. Each ceremony is scheduled to be between 35-45 minutes long and deep cleaning of surfaces is scheduled in- between each gathering. “The most important things are safety, and making sure we can give our kids this moment,” McNary assistant principal Dan Borresen said.
