The pretty little community offers the business convenienc es, quaintness of rural living and close proximity to urban centres (if you bave a licence and a vebicle at your disposai). However, bing without one and/or the other can be fairly limiting in terms of access 10 recreational activities. 1As part of tbeir commnnity outreacb, the Durbam East constitnency office of MPP.Gordon Milîs bas gathered a group of volunteers witbin the Orono area who are presently working in conjunction witb the young people 10 organize a youtb centre. This facility is relying on the imaginations of the yonths and volunteers and donations from those who would like to see it succeed. Idle time can be made productive with botb recreational and educational services provided,- depending on what resources are available. We have the hurnan resources and would appreciate any' See "Good Attendance" (Page 2) 'ourney Indeed! of diabetes and to raise funds for research through the Canadian Diabetes Association."
