Roadway officially opened Last Friday the Ministry of Pictured above in the ceremony is The estimated cost for the Natural Resource officially opened the road to the Orono Tree Nursery which has been closed most of the summer due to the reconstruction of the bridge over the Orono Creek. Ron Cowling of the local station who has been working on the bridge along with Sydney Cross . of engineering Services with the Ministry at Huntsville. reconstruction was set at $20,000. ' It is a real improvement over the past structure and well pointed oh the banks. Heroism knows no bounds People are just not about to let Barb McAllister of the Orono Estates rest on her laurals. You may recall that Barb was the first in line to venture into the realm of saving a creature of nature. With resusitation she breathed life back into a neighbours budgie which, at the time, she was boarding in her own home. But this heroic deed did set the ■ stage for yet another act' of heroism, this time by Debbie Bourne of Reaboro. It wasn't a bird , but a chipmunk which bit the finger that saved it. Of course Debbie likes good stories and the whole affair was related to her father from Barb down tq the near loss of her finger. .Her father is, we understand, a good listener and took in all the details little knowing ( that in the near future he would become involved involved in heroics of his own. Like daughter . . like father, that opportunity suddenly arose while father was driving along the highway. ' The highway was cluttered with , an array of cars parked along the jhoulder with people out waving their arms at a poor creature struggling struggling to survive. * Stoppingjhe car father saw'not a budgie, not a chipmunk but rather a woodchuck. It had stuffed its snout into a discarded coffe cup and was staggering about due to the lack of air. If his daughter could save a chipmunk chipmunk he could do likewsie for the woodchuck-and anyways everyone else were just fanning the air, making making a lot of noise but doing nothing, i The better part of valour took charge. Gripping the woodchuck by the back of the neck dad removed the coffee cup. The woodchuck took a deep ■ breath, slanted'his head looking up at his saviour and after a nod of appreciation appreciation truddled off into the long grass. To say the least the woodchuck woodchuck was more appreciative than the chipmunk. • No sooner had we heard this story than Maureen Mumford entered the office asking if we had subscribers in Utah and handed us a clipping from the Toronto Sun with an American Press by-line from Salt Lake City. We could assure Maureen that we had many readers in Utah but then one never knows just where the paper sometimes ends up. Anyways Utah State trooper Scott Smith jumped straight into action when he ■ saw a baby kangaroo drowning and even the idea of mouth-to-snout resuscitation resuscitation gave him only a moment's pause. "I blew into the nose a couple of quick breaths and that brought the animal right around," he said. Smith with his wife was watching the kangaroos at the Zoo when an 18-inch tall joey followed his mother to the water for a drink. Something spooked the joey and it jumped into the water. Two swans started flapping searing the joey deeper into the pond. Scott was urged by his screaming wife to save the joey. Smith said he decided oh thé kiss of life when he felt the joey's heart slowing and the eyes glazing over. After reading the article I think it would be safe to say to Maureen that the State Trooper must have read the Orono Times and to Barb McAllister . . . look what you started.

Mayor Hubbard said the fire chief did have the final word as to the pre-fire plan but it was stated this would be ready later this week.

Dear God, I'm surrounded. 1 was so scared it took me a few seconds to realize that even in the blackness I could see this man. He was dressed in an immaculate work shirt and denim pants, and carried a, lunch box. He was about 30, well over six feet. His face was stern but beautiful (the only word for it). 'I ran up to him.

"I...I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't come along." "I do". His voice was resonant, deep. "I prayed for help just before you came." A smile touched his mouth and eyes. We were nearing the depot. "You are safe now." Thank you -- so much." I. said fervently. He nodded. "Good-bye Euphie." Going into the lobby, it hit me Euphie! Had he really used my first name?

The conference is part of a number of Board initiatives under- (Continued page 9) Christian Comer by Rev. Marg West I guess there -are many times when we don't stop to consider the goodness of God in our lives, yet, if we think about different situations and how they turned out we can see that God's goodness and mercy changed those situations for us. I've said this before, "God is a good God," and I'll say it again and again. Psalm 23:6 sSys, "surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." ■ He must care if goodness and mercy are following us every day. In 'Psalm 25:8, "It tells us that God is good and upright and that, He will teach sinners in the way." (His Way) Psalm 85:12 again tells us, "the Lord shall give that which is good." Psalm 119:68 says, "Thou art good and doest good." Psalm 31:19, "How great is thy goodness." Psilm 52:1, "The goodness of God endureth. continually," and in Romans 2:4, "The goodness of God leadeth to repentance." It's God's goodness that causes us to realize we are sinners and enables us to repent (turn from sin) and - accept Jesus as our saviour. God is a good God. Questions or Comments? Box 179, Orono.
