Taylor McQuin, 10 rides her bike past the giant "Acid Ball to Eco-Earth" monument in Riverfront Park in downtown Salem, Oregon. Salem is a city of park devotees. No surprise in a town where running, biking and other outdoor recreation is a big part of life. The ball was once an asphalt covered stainless steel "Acid Ball" used by the Boise Cascade Corporation years ago to process wood pulp into paper.
