HOWALD Of the Keizertimes An inclusivity resolution is one way Keizer could demon- strate its commitment to providing an equitable atmo- sphere for all Keizer residents, but cities throughout Oregon and the nation have found unique ways to work toward equal justice and opportunity. These are a few of the ones Keizertimes found: • Keizer’s neighbor to the south, Salem, has a Human Rights Commission. The commission, active since the late 1960s, works alongside city staff and a liaison from the police department. Commis- sion members train to work with victims of hate activi- ty. One of the most powerful things the commission does? Writing letters to victims of hate and bias crimes remind- ing them that not all their & INCLUSION By ERIC A.

Mayor Cathy Clark said there will be at least some discussion regarding a possible inclusivity resolution. “I plan to present the structure of what has been included in such resolutions around issues of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion. There are about fi ve key topics these resolutions appear to Please see COUNCIL, Page A5 File Please see INCLUSIVE, Page A5 Following the money in local politics SKPS board runs 4-hour marathon meeting By ERIC A. HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Aside from a desire to serve and a group of supporters ,the major element in most elections is money. With slightly more than a month left before voters choose their next elected leaders, Keizertimes took a look at local candidates’ campaign fi nance activity to see which ones are leading in the money race. All campaign fi nancial statements are available to the public at secure. sos.state.or.us/orestar, but we limited our effort to candidates running to represent the residents of Keizer. STATE REPRESENTATIVE Ramiro (RJ) Navarro RJ Navarro is a fi rst time candidate, running against Rep. Bill Post with total contributions of roughly $5,000. Only $3,500 was in cash, the remainder was in in-kind services. Navarro’s largest expense thus far is $750 for a statement in the Oregon Voter’s Pamphlet. Rep. Bill Post (Running for fourth term) Post started 2020 with a substantial war chest of almost $44,000 held over from previous campaigns. Since the beginning of the year he’s amassed almost $80,000 in cash support. The campaign has spent roughly $118,000 this year to date. His largest contribution thus far was $10,000 from a Dallas business owner. Post’s campaign also received $3,000 in support from the Oregon Realtors Political Action Committee and $2,000 from the Oregon F i r e a r m s Federation. Post has contributed to the campaigns of Keizer city council candidates Kyle Juran, Ross Day and Laura Reid as well as Marion County Commission candidate Danielle Bethell. Post’s major expenditures since the beginning of 2020 have been supporting the campaigns of other candidates. MARION COUNTY COMMISSIONER Danielle Bethell Bethell, Keizer’s representative on the Salem-Keizer School Board, had a small balance on her account left over from the school board run in 2018, but she’s pulled in a whopping $64,000 since the beginning of the year. Bethell, a Republican, is running for a seat on the Marion County Board of Commissioners being vacated by Sam Brentano. After approximately $40,000 in expenditures, she still has cash reserves of nearly $28,000. B e t h e l l ’s largest donor is Freres Timber Inc with a $10,000 cash contribution. Freres Lumber Co., Inc., kicked in another $2,500 in cash. The Oregon Right to Life Political Action Committee (PAC) gave $7,500 to Bethell’s campaign. The Jobs Political Action Committee, which is funded locally by Mountain West Investments and nationally by Anheuser Busch and the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhARMA), contributed $2,500 to Bethell’s campaign. Bethell’s largest expenditure has been consulting fees for Salem-based New Media Northwest. BY MATT RAWLINGS Of the Keizertimes While the Salem-Keizer School Board addressed many items in their four-and-a-half hour meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 22 — such as the nu- merous technology issues with com- prehensive distance learning (CDL) and Superintendent Christy Perry being named Oregon Superintendent of the Year — they couldn’t escape the fl ood of criticism that once again took place during public testimony. Over the last few months, the board has been under fi re as members of the community have accused multiple board members of racism and have been displeased with their response to calls to remove Student Resource Offi cers (SROs) from schools. Nearly every person that called in to the meeting asked for the removal of SROs from schools as well as the Please see MONEY, Page A7 Please see SKPS, Page A5 20 Our countdown continues PAGE A10 A new Brick in the Wall PAGE A3 Información del votante para lectores españoles ELECCIÓN Saving more than just the children By LAUREN MURPHY Of the Keizertimes Child sex traffi cking has been thrust into the spot light with #SaveOurChildren, but awareness started long before the hashtag was trending. Organizations work with survivors, spread awareness and information on where to get help and some even execute rescue missions to get people out of the traffi cking industry. The Center for Hope and Safety, formally know as Mid-Valley Women’s Crisis Service, has been operating in Salem for the past 47 years. They work with victims and survivors of domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault and human traffi cking. The hashtag movement has revolved around sex traffi cking, particularly as it relates to pedophilia, but it is worth noting that people can also be traffi cked to provide labor. Human traffi cking is often considered modern day slavery. “[Traffi cking] can affect individuals of all ages but, generally it does start with children who are groomed as young as 10 to-12-years- old to be brought into a life for sex and labor traffi cking. Unfortunately it’s a huge, huge issue,” said the center’s executive director, Jayne COURTESY OF SALEM REPORTER Jayne Downing (above) is executive director of the Center for Hope and Safety in Salem, which provides services for children and families coping with domestic violence and abuse. Downing. The Oxford Dictionary defi nes grooming as, “the action by a pedophile of preparing a child for a meeting, especially via an Internet chat room, with the intention of committing a sexual offense.” Popular apps with chat rooms include: Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and online gaming services. In regards to the trending hashtag, “#SaveOurChildren” Downing had doubts about its effectiveness. “Especially if the person is posting or encouraging people to do things that could potentially be dangerous for them, and even the person they’re hoping to help,” Downing said, referring to posts about killing pedophiles and traffi ckers. She said sometimes gangs and drug affi liates can be involved, making the situation more dangerous. Endorsing and encouraging violence goes against every- thing that the center stands for, Downing suggested that people educate themselves in depth about the issue and how it affects Marion County. “People very often are looking for people to be walking up and down the street, [when they] think of traffi ck- ing. I think it’s important to say here in Marion County where we get it the most is in hotels,” Downing said. Often times a traffi cker will rent out a block of motel rooms and bring multiple Please see SAVE, Page A7 PÁGINA A6 Art association prepares for digital show PAGE A7
