Maytown kids build
their own hockey field.
Maytown youths
want rec center
Maytown parents and
teenagers asked the East
Donegal Supervisors for a
teen recreation area at last
Thursday’s meeting.
Some of the local teen-
agers who congregate in
Maytown Square feel they
are being harassed by the
police, and many older
residents don’t like having
the kids around the square.
The group first asked that
the old township shed be
designated as a place where
the kids can hang out. The
supervisors were sympa-
thetic to the idea, but
refused on the grounds that
the building is improperly
zoned for such a use and, in
any case, is up for sale.
The supervisors suggest-
ed that the group ask for a
variance and then return at
another meeting.
Will Newman, a teenager,
proposed that a section be
set aside for field hockey.
The supervisors accepted
this idea and designated the
rear of the Fire Hall for that
use. Parents will donate
goal posts and fencing.
The supervisors also said
they will investigate funding
for a youth center.
In other business, the
revised plans submitted by
Farmers First Bank for the
new branch office were
accepted. The new bank
building will be at the corner
of Oremine Road and Rte.
441. The entrance will be off
Oremine Road.
