Keizer United recently
provided four grants for
local community gardens
to help with their operating
costs during the COVID-19
pandemic.
“We recognized that
community gardens are
more important than ever
as our community is faced
with hardships and food
insuffi ciencies.
We also
wanted to recognize the hard
work of garden coordinators,”
said Keizer United President
Meredith Mooney.
Keizer United reached out
to fi ve community gardens
and offered a Community
Garden Grant with a $150
value. Only four of the
gardens responded.
“We
had
originally
reached out to four Keizer
gardens
listed
through
Marion Polk Food Share.
Out of those we have
had
three
coordinators
utilize the program and
one coordinator that never
responded,” Mooney said.

to the board’s attention at

New swings, new play
structures for infants and small
children alike, balance beams
and a two-person merry-go-
round will all be part of a
replacement of the playground
at Claggett Creek Park.
The Keizer City Council
approved a $282,261 contract
with
Ross
Recreation
Equipment for the project at
its meeting Monday, Aug. 3.
The project is expected to
be completed by November
1, if weather cooperates. All
of the playground equipment,
aside from some swings, will
rest atop a poured-in-place
surface designed to reduce
injury from falls. The surface
will be similar to those found
in Keizer Rapids Parks and
Meadows Park but include a
“river” running through the
center.
Demolition of the current
play structure will occur fi rst
followed by the installation of
the poured surface. The play
area is expected to be off-
limits to visitors for four to six
weeks.

The Keizertimes received 45
responses in their school survey
regarding the distance-learning
model Salem-Keizer Public
Schools (SKPS) used in the
spring and the district’s plan for
the upcoming school year.
Twenty-nine of the parents
that responded have at least one
of their children in high school
while 25 participants reported
that they have a child in either
preschool/kindergarten
or
elementary school. Twelve of
the parents said that they have at
least have one of their children
in middle school.
The results of the survey

that asked parents about their

“It was a joke. My middle
