HOWALD Of the Keizertimes Keizer resident Allen Bark- er was on his way home after picking up nine plastic bins of stuffed animals for Portland’s Randall Children’s Hospital when disaster struck. Barker hit a bump and three of the totes went scat- tering across the northbound Interstate 5 just south of the Keizer exit. “There were stuffed bears in the inside lane, but three young people in a brown Fire- KEIZERTIMES/Eric A.

The guys in the Firebird helped me collect all the bears and I don’t think we missed a one,” Barker said. Family Discovery Day is May 12 The Keizer Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat- ter Day Saints is sponsoring a Family Discovery Day Saturday, May 12. The event will be at the Family History Center, 862 45th Avenue N.E. in Salem. From 8:30 a.m. to noon, the center is offering free classes on discovering family roots. At- tendees won’t spend time on computers, but will learn how to start a genealogy search and begin compiling information. Bring a pen and paper for tak- ing notes, but handouts will also be available. All family members are wel- come, but there are no activi- ties planned for children 12 and under. While many of the databases available online – like ancestry. com or myheritage.com – re- quire a subscription to access, the Family History Center of- fers access to those resources for free twice a week, Tues- days from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Wednesdays, 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Depending on where a fam- ily originates from, there are some volunteers who can assist in reading, and teaching others how to read, foreign language records. need at Randall Children’s Hospital last year. “I met a fi refi ghter from Sheridan who knew they didn’t get a lot of donations so we collected eight barrels of stuffed animals for them last summer,” Barker said. The collection of mostly holiday-themed animals will be added to another collection effort this summer and deliv- ered to Randall in July. “It will be a Christmas in July,” Barker said. maze looking back in the KT 5 YEARS AGO Road closure is due to briefcase Cherry Avenue was closed between Manbrin and Sam Orcutt Way around 11 a.m. when a package described as a 1970s style briefcase was found by the city water pump station. Salem Police Department bomb squad was called in to detonate the briefcase which was ultimately determined to be empty. 10 YEARS AGO Where are the fl owers? One week before Iris Festival, irises yet to bloom – but farmers aren’t worried. Despite the delay caused by unseasonably cold weather, the irises will be providing the countryside with a splash of color soon. 15 YEARS AGO Celebrating their roots... Cinco de Mayo Keizer youngsters celebrated their cultural roots in a Cinco de Mayo celebration at Claggett Creek Middle School. The fi esta was both bilingual and bicultural, with American and Mexican fl ags fl own side by side. 20 YEARS AGO Enter digits from 1-9 into the blank spaces. Every row must contain one of each digit. So must every column, as must every 3x3 square. Barker forgot to get the names of his helpers, but wanted to thank them pub- licly for their kindness. “They said some of them were from Keizer and oth- ers were from south Salem,” Barker said. Barker was retrieving the bears from his soon-to-be father-in-law who ran a toy store in California. Barker said the bears had mostly been in storage aside from the holi- days, but he’d discovered the Keizer’s newest school joins ranks of campuses with portable classes Clear Lake Elementary School opened in 1994 when voters approved a $96-million construction bond. Students who need tutoring will now be able to make us of portable classrooms instead of doing work in the hallway.
