Try Kimmy Schmidt for a dose of relentless optimism
By TJ REID
For the Keizertimes
“If life seems jolly rotten,
there’s something you’ve for-
gotten; and that’s to laugh and
smile and dance and sing!”
Hi there, Keizertimes reader.
How are you holding in there?
I know it’s been a tough week
and an even tougher year,
2020 being the veritable pot-
pourri of misfortunes that it is.
Did my Monty Python lyrics
cheer you up? No? Well, how
about another TV review?
Wait, no to that as well?
Too bad, you’re getting
another TV review. It’s the
best I can do,
and I know that
they
certainly
help me when
I’m feeling blue.
This goes dou-
ble for reviews
focused on co-
medic pieces, and, as the Py-
thons are fond of pointing out,
comedy can be found even
in the darkest places if we’re
willing to look hard enough.
When it comes to laughing
and looking on the bright
side in the face of relentless
negativity, one of my person-
al go-tos is Unbreakable Kim-
my Schmidt, a Netfl ix original
series from the minds of Tina
Fey and 30 Rock showrunner
Robert Carlock that ended
in 2019 only to be followed
up by a big interactive fi na-
le Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt:
Kimmy vs. the Reverend (which
is not an episode, but its own
movie) in May 2020. Kimmy
Schmidt’s story is one of em-
powerment and
positivity and is
a great antidote
for these tough
times, although
I must admit
that the type of
goofy humor
presented may not be every-
one’s cup of tea.
If you are familiar with 30
review
Rock or Tina Fey’s time
on Saturday Night Live,
the comedy in Kimmy
Schmidt will make you
feel right at home. The
writing is sharp and
the jokes are fast, if
occasionally a bit tone
deaf (Jane Krakowski,
a white woman, plays
a Native American
and one of Kimmy’s
boyfriends, Dong, can
come off as a bit of
an Asian stereotype
at times, for instance).
Some episodes in the
later seasons can also
lag a bit as you become
more and more famil-
iar with the beats of the jokes,
but overall it is a fantastic series
that deals with life’s unpleasant
moments with a smile. Ellie
Kemper shines as the titular
Kimmy, and if Tituss Burgess
(who plays her fl amboyant but
lazy roommate also named Ti-
tus, one “s”) doesn’t become
one of Hollywood’s new lead-
ing comedic superstars I will
light myself on fi re.
The new interactive cap-
stone to the series, Kimmy
vs. the Reverend, is a singular-
ly unique experience. As you
watch, you will be prompted
to make decisions on where
the story goes by choosing
one of several options on the
screen at certain points. Some
decisions matter more than
others and some lead to dead
ends that make you go back
and chose the “right” decision,
but the results are always hilar-
ious and often meta in the way
only Kimmy Schmidt can be.
I ended up killing the main
characters twice on accident,
for instance, and was thor-
oughly reprimanded both
times. The only problem with
this format is the fact that you
inevitably miss some funny
scenes and have to watch the
whole thing multiple times
to get every result. You also
never know when making
the “right” decision or the
“smart” decision or the “in
character” decision is the cor-
rect one. But hey, isn’t that
how life is? My only advice
is to pick the “’splode him”
option when it pops up. You
won’t regret it.
And hey, watch the show
too. You won’t regret that ei-
ther.

erend are now available on

NOTICE
CITY OF KEIZER
MEASURE REFERRAL
ADOPTION OF A NEW
HOME RULE CHARTER
THAT REPLACES THE
CURRENT CHARTER
NOTICE OF RECEIPT OF
BALLOT TITLE
On August 3, 2020 the
Keizer City Council adopted
Resolution
R2020-3107
placing on the ballot the
question of adoption of a
new home rule charter that
replaces the current charter
to the voters at the general
election on November 3,
2020. On August 4, 2020 the
following ballot title was fi led
with the Elections Offi cer of
the City of Keizer:
BALLOT TITLE
Caption: CITY OF KEIZER
NEW HOME RULE CHARTER
Question: Shall the City
adopt a new home rule
Charter replacing the current
Charter?
Summary: The Oregon
Constitution
grants
City
voters the right to adopt
home rule charters. Charters
grant legal authority to cities,
specify how ordinances are
adopted, list qualifi cations
for offi cers, and assign duties
to city offi cials. This measure
would adopt a new home
rule Charter for the City of
Keizer and replace the current
Charter, which was enacted
in 1983.
The City Council referred
the new Charter to the voters
on the recommendation of a
Charter Review Committee.
The new Charter is based
on the League of Oregon
Cities Model Charter but
keeps provisions unique
and important to Keizer.
The
proposed
Charter
retains the current form of
government with a Mayor
and six councilors to govern
and a city manager to run
administrative affairs. The
new Charter is updated
to be more readable and
modernized to more clearly
defi ne the legal authority of
the City.
The proposed Charter
removes current Charter
language that is inconsistent
with state law, and contains
other minor changes.
Any
elector
who
is
dissatisfi ed with the ballot
title may petition the Circuit
Court in Marion County to
review the ballot title. The
petition must name the City
of Keizer City Council as the
respondent and state the
reasons why the ballot title
is insuffi cient, not concise, or
unfair. The petition for review
must be fi led with the Circuit
Court in Marion County
no later than 5:00 p.m. on
August 13, 2020. Any elector
fi ling a petition to review
the ballot title must provide
written notifi cation to the
Elections Offi cer of the City of
Keizer no later than 5:00 p.m.
on the fi rst business day after
the petition is fi led with the
Circuit Court.

August, 2020.
