Some of the members of the Ethel Women’s Institute seize the
opportunity to warm their frozen fingers over the hot pancake griddles
at Sunday’s annual Maple Madness Pancake Day at the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority’s Maple Keys Sugar Bush in Grey
Township. The volunteers, all of whom worked out-of-doors in the
sub-zero temperatures that heralded the first day of spring included
[from left] Joan Smith, Pam McLellan, Margaret McMahon, Jean
Fraser, Krista Keffer and Doris Jacklin. It was the 7th year the Ethel
W.1. served pancakes and fresh maple syrup to several hundred
visitors at the event.

Funding
requested to
replace portable
classroom
The Huron County Board of
Education has decided to seek a
replacement for one of two port
able classrooms presently in use at
Grey Central School, and has asked
that the hoard’s share of the
necessary funding be included in
the 1988 estimates, due in April.
The Grey Central unit is in the
worst shape of the several portable
classrooms in use throughout the
county, and the most in need of
replacement, director of education
Bob Allen said at the HCBE’s
March meeting in Clinton.
He added that the new portable
would be intended only for short
term use at the Ethel school,
pending the construction of a
permanent addition within the
next few years, when it would be
used to replace a second portable.
“Does it make sense to purchase
a new portable when a permanent
addition is in the works?” asked
West Wawanosh-Ashfield trustee
Tony McQuail.
“The ministry seems prepared
to go this way rather than the more
logical way, and at the same time,
has cut off any further rental
approved on the unit,” Mr. Allen
replied.
Even though it was the first day
of spring the temperature told a
different story. This didn’t stop
people from attending the Pancake
Day at Maple Keys Sugar Bush.
The Ethel W.I. served pancakes
and sausages to visitors at the bush
on Sunday.
A good size crowd watched the
media and council competition.
