Food 4 Thought
“Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret
power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or
bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to

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-

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.

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.
