Parents of students who attend the St. Francis of Assisi Catholic in Newcastle along with a number of the local residents of Newcastle were honoure d at a special volun- teers tea that was served in the schoolts gym on Tbur-sday, June 5. Everyone in atten- dance was entertaineci by the two grade five classes who sang a funny song aboutani- mais and'also by the kinder- garten class who sang a song about bugs and loving one another.

This article is not about anything Arotinc Home but Is about Orono andi how Orono appear to others. Corne this past week-end it was off to Lake On The Mountain to attend to busi- ness for a two-day period. It sounds great but there can be no dependence frorn this venture as to capital gain or, at limes, even gas rnoney. There are rewards, of course, and that generally cornes frorn the people you meet. They have been there frorn Alberta to Nova Scotia and down into the States. The workshop is an old' dance hall, restaurant andi one old -tirne referred to«the building as the "Bucket of Blooci". You can always tell those that have attended dances in the hall and they do give the building a close look-over andi add to the bis- tory of the building, factual or ficionaL. It is best I get on with the story before rny colurnn space runs ont. t was Sunday morning shortly after ten and having completeci taking out my wares and putting themn on display I was open for con- versation or a sale if such shoulci happen., A gentleman approached. "Coulci you tell me how to get to the Glenora Ferry 1 have apparently missed it. "Down the bull, turn right andi you are there. "This, Lake On The Mountain is most beauliful place. My wife and I and friencis are on our way to Kngston. You are fortunate to live here." "Where are you from?" "Toronto" "I don't live here. 1 live in Orono. Do you know where it Is?" "t is a beauliful place" "That's what you said about Lake On- The Mountain." "But Orono is a beauliful place we were there with Toronto friends on Canada Day in 1995. You have to be proud of your park in the valley. On our visit there was lots of activity for adults andi chul- dren. There was activity al over Including a band concert in the park andi a big birthday cake which we were invited to taRe part. We thoroughly enjoyeci the day." "I'm sure the people in Orono would be glaci to hear wbat you have just saici and I arn glad you enjoyeci the hos- pitality inour community." «We went back on Canada Day in 1996 andi were most disappointeci that the park was almost vacant." "Dont' try this year because there is nothing planneci for the Canada Day celebration. Perhaps 1998 Canada Day could be cele- brated at the park." "We do keep going back. to Orono. We enjoy the Tea Room at the Bake Shop and it is a beautiful village. I will keep Canada Day 1998 in minci. Irmust be on my way - down the MIl and tumn riglit?" "Have a good trip and thanks for the words on Orono". I would have to agree with the Toronto gentleman that lOrono is a beautiful place and it was gooci hearing it corne from some one out-of- town. We have much to be prouci of.
