Very
special
dedication
ceremony
held
at
Celia's
Rainbow
Gardens
to
remember
9/11
and
open
the
new
area
by
Joanne
Winer
We
had
a
very
special
ceremo-
ny
at
the
new
Heroes
Bell
Gar-
dens
at
the
south
end
of
Celia's
Rainbow
Gardens
on
the
15th
anniversary
of
the
tragedy
of
the
events
of
Sept.
11,
2001.
The
cer-
emony
dedicated
the
bells
which
were
donated
by
Howard
Arm-
strong,
a
long
time
Quartzsite
resident
and
entrepreneur
who
had
a
vision
way
back
when
and
bought
1100
acres
at
the
west
end
of
town
known
as
the
Main
Event.
His
generosity
to
non-profits
and
others
who
needed
help
was
one
of
the
things
that
made
him
such
an
asset
to
the
town,
and
his
death
many
years
ago
signaled
the
end
of
an
era
here.
Howard
was
remembered
at
the
beginning
of
the
ceremony
for
all
his
donations
to
the
Gardens,
and
Elmer
London,
also
a
long
time
resident,
did
the
honors
of
ring-
ing
the
bells
in
Howard's
memory.
Paul
Winer
told
the
story
of
How-
ard
and
how
the
bells
came
to
be
in
this
area.
After
the
Pledge
of
Al-
legiance
and
a
beautiful
rendition
of
the
National
Anthem
by
flutist
Mark
Church,
the
ceremony
with
a
short
introduction
of
the
re-
membrances
of
the
events
of
Sept.
11,
2001.
I
explained
that
the
reason
for
this
new
area
in
the
Gardens
was
to
have
a
permanent
monument
to
honor
those
who
put
their
lives
on
the
line
every
day
to
help
our
community
and
other
communi-
ties
all
across
the
country.
The
events
of
Sept.
11,
2001
cannot
and
should
not
ever
be
forgotten,
and
also
the
events
of
three
years
ago
where
