A celebration of A community garden On Thursday August 27 Climate Action NOW held a celebration to offer thanks for the use of Centennial Gardens for their community garden. It was attended by representatives from Walker Industries, Home Depot, Cotton Construction and other business and individuals who have helped to create ‘The Gardens’. The weekly harvest is taken to the Community Care food bank under the coordination of Beth Bartley. Centennial Park is the site of two early Welland canals and is the junction of trails from the east, central and the south portions of St. Catharines. Dick’s Creek flows along the perimeter of the parkland and its plantings and buffer zone are protected natural areas. Climate Action NOW’s vision of the parkland is that it will be a passive meeting place, with benches and water fountains, washrooms and an Eco Pavilion. They hope that St. Catharines will allow the straw bale construction of a pavilion and a footbridge that crosses to the trails of the west side. (Straw bale construction usually involves stacking rows of bales on a foundation with moisture barrier between the bales. The bales can be simply insulation or they can be the actual structural support.) If you can support this type of visioning for the Centennial Parkland, they would ask that you please call Parks and Recreation with your support. Call 905-688-5600 and leave a message for Paula Berketo. On September 19, 2009, the Bernie Olm Jr Memorial Golf Tournament took place at the Beechwood Golf and Country Club. Presented by the Merritton Athletic Association, proceeds were donated to both the Merritton Athletic Association and the Community Mental Health. For more information check out www. bernieolmjrmemorialgolftournament.com. and we’ll also provide some coverage in the next issue. The Flag of Merritton Dave Keast is determined to have a Merritton flag to fly at his Oxford Street home. This is actually tougher than it sounds because it involves the creation of a flag since, to the best of our collective wisdom, Merritton never has had one. Dave’s flag will use the Merritton crest he found in a black and white picture at the library that luckily someone remembered was white with a blue background, a royal blue. Flag manufacturers quoted the price for ONE flag at $184.00! But an order of 10-29 would make each flag only $62.57. You might be amused to learn that the flag company wants an official permission from the town of Merritton to use the crest but Dave thinks he can get around that. Knowing Dave’s determination, we won`t be at all surprised! Who wants a flag? Contact Dave at dkeast2000@yahoo.ca to order one. MERRITTON MATTERS I
