C "THE PLACE TO BUY APPLIANCES Ratepayers support building More'thau 100 Stanley Township taxpayers have given support to council to go ahead with plans to build a new municipal office. At a recent public meeting council presented their initial proposal to build a new municipal complex, costing an estimated $500.000. Rough plans call for a new .municipal office. costing $150,000: a new workshed, with several garage bays, costing $200.000 and a com- munity hall, costing $150,000, At this point. costs are only tough estimates. The Ministry of Transpor- tation and Communication will cover 50 percent of the costs to build the workshed. Grants, such as Wintario and the Community Centres pro- gram may cover some of the costs on the community hall. As well, council will look at a New Horizons grant, given to senior citizens projects. The municipal office won't be eligible for grants. Council hopes that the building will be completed by 1985. It would re -locate the clerk's office and the Tucker - smith Telephone System of- fices that have been housed in Clerk Mel Graham's home since 1962. The project would also see a new community hall and council chambers, now located in the old Varna Hall. Clerk Graham noted that council has been meeting in Abe Varns} hall for decades, 'He rememberedback id 1960 when the hall was heated by an old box stove. Council decided to replace it with a new furnace after one unfor- getable experience, after as Clerk Graham recalled, "they couldn't see one another for smoke.' Council made their /:com- mendation to construct a new township complex after tour- ing many other municipal offices and talking with archi- tects and engineers. Bayfield's original fashion store.

STRONG 11 is a happy fact that some things never change such as the annual run of the sap luring us as it did our Indian predecessors to the country -side to partake of nature's bounty. They ran the sap from the maples by hollow reeds or pieces ofbark into bark vessels' sealed with pine resin. Red-hot stones were tossed into boiling containers of sap as their cooking utensils could not withstand hot fires. The colourless and almost tasteless liquid was boiled to evaporate the water and to leave behind the sweet syrup. The pioneer method of tapping trees involved driving wooden spiles or pegs with a channel cut in the top into the trunk of the tree. Sap flowed along this channel into pails suspended below. Full pails were then emptied into wooden barrels and taken •byhorsc=drawn sleighs to a clearing where the sap was boiled in huge iron kettles over a fire. Then, as now, it took a lot of sap to make a little syrup, about ISO litres of sap to make 4 litres of syrup. Today. plastic tubing is used to collect the sap frons nianv trees and cposit it in hu� vats where it is stored prior to being processed by tpttp-date methods in modern, evaporatingliouses. Many travel to Upper Canada Village annually where demonstrations of the old-fashioned methods of the process are carried out. Although some of the romance has vanished along with the old methods, the sweet fruits;"of the maple tree are available every spring. Today, maple syrup is a multi-million dollar business. Gone. in large measure. is the pioneer method of gathering and boiling sap. Large commercial sugarbushes oper- ate in Eastern Ontario and Quebec. In Eastern Canada, the running of sap in the nlaplc trees iseauso for celebration. Not only does it herald the arrival of spring. but when boiled into sweet syrup. it is the ideal treat around which to base a party. Every spring, countless towns and sugar -bush farms will host maple syrup demonstrations and festivals. Because it is impossible to predict when •the sap will start running. nrecise dates cannot he set in advance. tax tips' Q. I have a pension plan at work so 1 can only contribute $3,500 altogether to the Company's pension plan and my own RRSP. Is there any way around this limitation? A. If your company plan will allow it, you may increase your deductions by alter- nating contributions each year. For example, this year you contribute $3,500 to an RRSP and make no Registered Pension Plan contribution. Next year you contribute $3,500 to your employer's RPP for current service and $3,500 for past service related to the previous year. Thus your average year contribution is $5,250 instead of $3,500. Q. I am partially retired and a substantial portion of my income is from dividends from the sale of stocks and bonds. I spend a great deal of time and money studying the market and I subscribe to several general investment publications. Are these deductible on my income tax return? A. Any investment counsel fees, including fees paid for the administration and management of shares and securities, are 100 percent deductible. However, the fees paid for the financial magazines and newspapers are generally not deductible. Q. With all the changes in the new tax form i am getting a bit confused. Could you tell me what I have to do to qualify for forward averaging? A. To qualify you must have worked in Canada for at least the last two years. Also your net income must be at least 10 percent above your inflation adjusted average net income for the last 3 years. If you received a personalized tax form, your "base amount" will be printed on the first page of the form.

Main St Bayfield 565-2588 1 Ideal sap running weather calls for cold nights followed by sunny days with temperatures rising to about ten degrees Celsius. In yesteryears, the high -light of most parties was taffy -pulling. The maple syrup was boiled past the syrup stage and then poured hot onto a tray of clean, white snow. The taffy -snow candy was wound around a• stick and, presto, a magic lollipop.' Many Ottawa Valley towns honoured the .season with a festival. These festivities include sausages, pancakes and maple syrup and frequently served in a local church basement or memorial hall. Maple products are on sale and readily sold to eager patrons. Storage of maple syrup is important to prevent 'fermentation and the growth of bacteria. When you buy maple syrup in tin cans at the super -market or local grocery, one should reheat the conten,ts and pour into bottles to prevent it from taking on the tast f tin. Stored in the refrigerator, it will re set its original Flavour. Anyone liking to try their hand at making their own maple syrup should take along a large-sized covered container and ask the sugar -bush operator to sell you some sap. Take it home and boil it down to syrup consistency. You'll enjoy the effort. "It wound to the very heart of the wood Till it reached the rise where the sugar -bush stood With its steaming pans reducing the flood Of sweet grist frons the nlaplc trees. As we plunged hip deep through the snow. what fun To gather clear sap frons an all-night run Induced by the warmth of the late March SUIT And the life -laden southerly breeze No longer it winds to the sugar -bush hill: Deserted, the sap -pans lie empty and chill. The hands that tended their fires arc still, And the maple trees know them 00 more. But the sun still softens the late March snows: t The gentle south wind rouses 'sap a't; it blows: And tang of the boiling nostalgia bestows As we swing shut the creaking door. \ H.
