Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, September 17.2003 - 6 H Places I've Done Time by Clifford Francis Peytonville On the weekend I had the chance to go up north to Peytonville. It's been a good long time since I've been there. Towns and times change, but not Peytonville. Some say you can't go back in time, but I was there. I got a job up there for a winter, a long time ago. Before I had a full time job with the Ministry of Natural Resources. When I told people I worked for the Ministry some people thought I was spreading the Word from the Good Book. I spread myself fairly thin but not with the Gospel. One particular time I was going to turn my ways to the Lord but I went to Bowmanville and picked up a dozen and completely forgot about it. When I arrived at Peytonville the first place I hit was the local hotel. A nice room above the beverage room and I was set up. The next stroke of Luck was meeting meeting the Chief of Police's daughter. A lovely , lovely girl with red hair and green eyes. To this day my favourite colours are red hair and green eyes. There was a new factory being built and I got a job being a plumber's helper. My job was threading the different size of pipes that were being used on the project. The job was a snap. I would have the pipes threaded and back in the hotel by lunch time where I would stay till about four o'clock and then I would skin back to the project and punch my time card. The chiefs daughter was also the bar maid at the hotel so I also got lots of free drinks. Pretty cozy situation. A half day job, get paid all day and lots of free drinks. Who would ever leave a job like that? The guys told me one day that the superintendent had been paging me and several days later I stepped into his office to see what all the fuss was about. He told me that when the building was completed completed I would be out of a job. I thought it might have been something to worry about. When the spring rolled around I was sick of the, job and the bar maid was sick of me and back to Orono I came. Things don't change much. The bar maid now owns the hotel and her daughter is a lot like her. The daughter was living living with a man and a few weeks ago she had her eye on another fellow that had just moved into town. The man went over and burned down his house and that caused all kinds of grief. He went to jail and she moved in with the newcomer. The fellow that lives across the road is also in love with her and hates her new friend. To make matters worse, the neighbour called animal control and complained complained about the newcomer's dog barking constantly and he was fined and maybe his dog was taken away. Either way, more hard feelings. Peytonville never changes and I sure hated to leave it and come home because nothing like that ever happens in Orono - not lately anyhow.
