Ask Mr. Trash
Q: What types of glass can be recycled?
©1986
A: Food grade bottles and jars only!
Other types of glass contaminate the recycling
process and ruin newly made containers.
That means NO cups, dishes, candleholders,
ovenware, window or mirror glass, or
light bulbs. Thanks for your careful attention!

Denis Vrba and Judson Barnes traveled down from Vancouver,
British Columbia, and Vrba brought with him a friend, Denis
Stoltz, from Sudetenland. The trio visited and took pictures with
Mayor Cathy Clark before settling in for the night.
Vrba was most impressed with the people he’d seen around
the park as volunteers.
“There are so many people active and involved,” he said.
Barnes said there were some things not that different from
home.
“Most of B.C. is on fi re right now and we came to Oregon
and it’s the same thing,” he joked.
Manon and Maarten Van Wamel, who also live in B.C., were
hosting a nephew from their native Netherlands and decided to
make the trip to Oregon almost on a lark.
Manon said the reasonable price for the location made it
ideal.
She and Maarten had both seen an eclipse in 1991, but they
were more prepared to enjoy it this time around.
“I was working at an airport the fi rst time and the biggest
thing was everything went silent, which is unusual for an air-
port,” Manon said.
“I was in a forested area and we were laying down on ground.
You could see the shadow approach and go away,” Maarten said.
Their nephew Floris Reininga and his girlfriend Laura
Vingelvein already planned to visit Canada but the eclipse op-
portunity came up unexpectedly.
“We had no clue,” Floris said.
The group took advantage of the trip to Oregon to visit the
Canby Rodeo, which was another highlight for Laura, a horse
enthusiast.
“It was awesome and so cool,” Laura said.
Visitors from Brazil, Tijuana, Japan and Australia had all
checked into the camp by the end of the weekend. The event, a
fundraiser for the Keizer Parks Foundation, is expected to bring
in upward of $30,000 when the fi nal tallies come in, Parsons
said.
Keizer’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
provided a variety of services 24/7 at Keizer Rapids Park, in-
cluding patrolling the area for fi re hazards and an around-the-
clock fi rst aid station.
“We saw at least 25 patients with issues ranging from a
cracked collar bone to heat stroke and tons of bandages and bee
stings,” said Linda Pantalone, CERT coordinator. “We provided
a great customer service station where folks stopped by to visit
or get directions and information. Our central location made it
a great stop for families and their pets.”
Across town, the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes made the most
of the eclipse by hosting the fi rst-ever eclipse-delayed baseball
game. The Volcanoes hosted visitors from six continents, 34
states and even representatives of NASA who spoke about the
eclipse-related science before the game.
Clark said viewing the eclipse with the nearly 6,000 people
in attendance at the stadium helped her understand the hubbub
surrounding totality.
“It was absolutely phenomenal, and I understand why people
want to be in the zone of totality,” Clark said.
