The tapping of sugar (hard)
maple and black maple trees is one
of the first welcome signs of spring
in many Ontario and Quebec
Communities. During March and
April, freezing night temperatures
and mild 40-50 degrees. F. days,
determine the quality and quantity
of the sap which is gathered in
metal buckets or, by modern plastic
tubing •systems.
In either the traditional wood'
fired, or the modern gas or oil
heated evaporator, the sap, which
is about 90% water, is boiled until
only the amber coloured maple'
syrup remain. . When the maple
products (maple syrup, • maple
butter, maple sugar candy, etc:)
are ready, the maple syrup
festivals that are held, draw crowds,
from far and wide.
Maitland Valley's Rocky Raccoon
has some tips about maple syrup
which may be helpful to you. For
instance, the colour of the syrup is
a good indicator of it's flavontr. The
darker the amber colour, the
stronger the maple flavoring.
Flavor, colour and quality. of "the
syrup are considered when it is
graded as Fancy, Light, Medium or
Dark. Each of these types of syrup
have different properties .and .are
usually used for different purposes.
Grading. of syrup is not compulsory

One of the best places to store
your maple syrup for indefinite
periods of time is in 'the freezer.
The syrup does not freeze solid,
and the fresh flavor and quality are
preserved. It should be taken out
of the freezer about one hour
before using it, and can be frozen
again after use. If you store your
maple syrup for only one year, keep
it in tightly sealed containers
placed in a cool, dry area. Always
tightly recap' your syrup container
if keeping it in the refrigerator.
'If your maple 'syrup forihs mold
on the top, or develops a musty
flavor, skim off as 'much mold as
possible and bring the-syritp, to a
boil in a large' sauce pan. Just
before boiling, put in a 3/4 cup of
skim milk per gallon, of syrup, and
then boil for 2 or 3 minutes. After
straining through cheese cloth,
refrigerate 'the syrup as soon as
poSsible.
Sometimes a crust or sugar ,
crystals will form in the container.
To solve this problem, add a small
amount of water to -the syrup and
heat it gently (do not boil) until the
crystals, dissolve. .
Rocky would be happy to provide
more information on maple syrup
production to anyone who requests
it from the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority.

On Wednesday, April 16th, our
school was very lucky to have a play
presented to us. They play was
called "Pop Goes The Fox". It was
about characters who were in a
circus. They were trying td find
their way to their circus, but
couldn't find it.
The play, started out wit a very
funny clown: He met up with
another character and was going to
take a nap, then they would go to
the circus. When they are taking a
nap, a fox comes and grabs the
duck.
It was a very exciting play and
we thank the Pepe Theatre.
GRADE ONE
Allan Sackrider is in the hospital.
