Attention Rocky heath<br />
Yes, you, Rocky Heath! But how does Rocky Heath relate to <strong>Merritton</strong> <strong>Matters</strong> you might ask? Rocky grew up on<br />
Ferndale Avenue and attended Ferndale Public School. He remembers walking to the <strong>Merritton</strong> pool as a child and<br />
being scared and unsure of where to turn at the end of Ferndale. At the beginning of Grade Four, the Heath family<br />
moved to the North end, but Rocky’s heart was in <strong>Merritton</strong>. He would frequently visit his friends here in the summers.<br />
After getting married, he and his wife, Gail, bought a house in Secord Woods and have remained there<br />
since. When his children, Amy and Justin, were high school age, Rocky felt <strong>Merritton</strong> was the best choice for<br />
them and they agreed. Years later, Rocky is thrilled to get to watch his grandchildren walk past his house on their<br />
way to school in the community.<br />
As a GM retiree, Rocky began to investigate ink refilling businesses after attempting to fill his own<br />
cartridges and making a mess. He found a franchise called Cartridge World which refills ink and toner<br />
cartridges. An environmentally conscious man, Rocky felt that reusing empty cartridges was a better alternative<br />
to throwing them away. Not only does refilling help save the environment, it also saves people money! For more<br />
information, you can call the store (located at the Midtown Plaza on Welland Ave.) at 641-2770. Can we hope that<br />
a <strong>Merritton</strong> expansion is in the works? Rocky Heath, your family is proud of you! Happy Birthday!!!!<br />
