'i3ocKy R A,CCOoN 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 MONUMENTS For sound counsel and a fair price on a monument correctly designed from quality material, rely on SKELTON MEMORIALS Pat O'Hagan, Prop.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1975 THE LUCKNOW SENTINEL, LUCKNOW, ONTARIO in Ontario. 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. • PAGE SEVENTEEN REPORTERS: REPORTERS: Shelley Mason, Debbie Lowry, Mark Liddle. 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. We wish him a speedy recovery.
