•;.fe 2-Orono Weekly Times; Wednesday, April 11, 1979 Orono Weekly Times the finest in the land The Orono arena and Community Centre is certainly the finest of its kind in the land and it will come into full view this Saturday evening with the official opening. It will be a great event for this community. What a change from the former cobbled-up arena where hockey and skating fans used to edge their way along narrow corridors and creaky floors to seek a glimpse of the ice surface and the happenings there on. The reosent area is spacious in every respect as well as a pleasing place to visit with is colourful walls and shining floors. Its a real pleasure. The official opening this Saturday evening will mark some of the past and also present some of the present, as to the people of this community. The new arena has been a challenge for this community and to this point this challenge has been accepted. The facility will long service the community in many ways for both old and young alike. It should be a great night on Saturday so why not drop done to the official opening and enjoy this evening out. THE WEATHERMAN PLAŸS HIS GAMES It wasn't too long ago with fine sunny and warm weather we were looking for the rake 'and anticipating in getting the flower garden spaded. We searched for the first sight of spring the peeking thorugh of tulips and sure enough they were there. We planted our seeds in anticipation of of a May planting and according to the weather it could very well be in early May. The weatherman had us bambozzled for we were sure spring had sprung. But the powers that be have always had us slated for a certain number of degree days for winter and this mark had not been reached. So the lattèr part of last week we returned to winter to balance the ledger as between winter, spring, summer and fall. All thoughts were erased as to the rake, the spade and even the tuning up of the lawn mower. We were even able to get what we believe was the last swing with skiing just a few miles north of the Village. But truely we're tuned to be fooled and fooled and fooled again. happenings RURAL ENUMERATORS WILL NOT CALL HOUSE TO HOUSE We have been informed by the Returning Officer for Durham Northumberland riding that rural enumerators are not required to call from door to door in their enumeration of the electorate for the forthcoming federal election.
