The annual Color Show features a reception on Tuesday, March 3, with works that include red in some way.

A McNary senior earned a $1,000 scholarship from the Keizer Chamber of Commerce for community service.

Keizer's legislators are urging approval of $778,000 in state funds to buy land and start design of the new facility, a joint effort of the Keizer Fire District and Marion County Fire District 1.

McNary is sending 14 wrestlers, including some with district titles, to state competition in Portland.

Opinions were divided as citizens spoke Monday about the idea of adding a pavilion to Keizer Rapids Park. The city would need to amend the park's formal plan to open the way for such a structure.

Next week, a Salem-Keizer State of the District event will give community members an overview of the district's programs and progress towards goals.

Keizer city officials are asking residents whether a long-discussed pavilion belongs at Keizer Rapids Park – and if so, what it should look like and where it should go. A community listening session is set for 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 23, as leaders weigh a concept that’s drawn both enthusiasm for new events space and concern about preserving the park’s natural feel.
