The Harvest Breakfast scheduled for this morning by the WCSC is cancelled because their fridge broke. In other cancellation news, the teacher strike is resulting in the postponement of the the JSIS Playground meeting this Monday.
The Tilth Harvest Festival is not reliant on a fridge or teachers so it’s still on from 10 to 4 today. Check out chickens, goats, honeybees, and a rooster. If you’re interested in waterways or other Community Council doings, they’ll have a booth at the festival as well.
Teachers did community service on Friday after spending Wednesday and Thursday marching in circles. We got several reports of trash being picked up at parks and supplies being added to food banks. Mostly good vibes, although there was one ugly tale of a truck rolling coal at teachers and then video taping the reaction (which makes us want to kick their brass balls).
As an antidote, here’s the 2016 Prius design released on Wednesday, the first redesign of the car since 2009 (get used to the new look):
Back to the teacher strike: Contract negotiations are starting back up this weekend after being on hiatus the last 3 days. No indication as to what teachers will be doing on Monday if there’s no resolution, but probably back to walking in circles.
Striking teachers from Hamilton International Middle School spent several hours Friday picking up falling apples at Meridian Playground and the Good Shepherd Center orchard. They also removed sod from around the trunks of several apple trees. Staff from City Fruit managed the enthusiastic volunteers.
Thank you to the HIMS teachers and staff for cleaning up Meridian Playground just in time for the Harvest Fest!
Note: The playground is not delayed, just a meeting to update our community. We’re still actively seeking donations though. Please see our blog for details:

Thanks!
Thanks DR, clarity was a victim of squeezing the title to fit- I think I just fixed it. Also, your link is bad (2008?), people should just go here for updates:
