Student seeks donations for wheelchair swing | News, Sports, Jobs

mgreier@salemnews.net A Salem High School junior is looking for donations for his Eagle Scout project to install a wheelchair swing at Waterworth Memorial Park. Sam Murray first approached the Salem Parks Commission last summer about his idea, which still needed the approval of his Eagle Scout committee and the Sandy Beaver district. Since then, he received all approvals necessary to go forward. Murray, a member of Troop 6 at St. Paul Church, posted details on the park department’s social media page and also addressed city council during a recent meeting. The cost of the project is estimated at $8,500 for the cost of the swing, concrete pad and signage.

Salem parks to jump on the bee bandwagon | News, Sports, Jobs

Staff Writer SALEM The Salem Parks Commission agreed Wednesday to go forward with plans to become a Bee City USA. Commission members first heard about Bee City USA from Parks Director Shane Franks at last month’s meeting, but requested additional information regarding the benefits since the cost was $200 per year. On Wednesday, city resident Sara Baer and master gardener Marilyn McKinley addressed commissioners about the idea, urging them of the importance of bees to pollinate plants and how Bee City USA can provide educational materials for programs in the community. McKinley helped design the pollinator garden at Waterworth Memorial Park and talked about how crucial bees are to the food chain.
