McDaniel Phillips family
visited by Hanover resident
The following account of a
trip to the Caribbean was
written by Ruth ,Peppler of
Hanover and appeared a few
weeks ago in the Hanover
Post. Mrs. Pei7pler visited
with Mr. and Mrs. McDaniel
Phillips, former Wingham
residents. McDaniel was
well-known to people of
-
Wingham and the surround-
ing area as an employee of
CKNX and as a speaker at
many area meetings and
church services.

I have just returned frpm
spending two weeks with
McDaniel, Blossom, Sara
and Rachel Phillips on the
Island of Bonaire n the
Netherlands Antilles. This is
a Dutch Island .just off the
coast of Venezuela, South
America. It is about 14 miles
in length and 71/2 miles wide
and is one of the ABC Is-
lands. Aruba and Curacao
are their neighbors to the
west.
As .,many of you know,
McDaniel left CKNX last
February (1984) to go on
mission work with Trans
World Radio. He is greatly
missed in this area as his
talents were given freely to
so.many public affairs here.

It was comforting to see first
hand how much he is appre-
ciated and respected in the
Caribbean. He is now the
manager of the English Pro-
graming from Bonaire.
The population of Bonaire
is about 9,000 and has an in-
teresting mix off language
and color. The government is
Dutch and -one -bears Dutch,
English or the local Papia-
mento languages.
Bonaire is an ideal spot for
the super power station of
Trans World. It is a coral
rock island of predominantly
salt flats with salt water on
all sides providing unbeliev-
able conductivity., Wet salt
being the next best con-
ductor to metal. The trans-
mitters there generate.
800,000 watts off powerv,°and
there is no- jet airport -to
cause interference so their
station is heard in all parts of
the world.
I have been a regular short
wave radio listener to the
programs beamed from
Trans World Radio on Bon-
aire to the world. Particu-
larly, I listen on "Morning
Sounds" at 6:15 a.m. stand-
ard time or 7:15 during day-
light saving time. This is on
the 25 meter band -11.815 fre-
quency. It is a great way to
start the day, with joyful in-
spirational music, scripture,
news, counselling, as well as
light-hearted trivia. It was
especially exciting for me to
be in the studio and see how
the program was brought to-
gether by McDaniel as the
broadcasting began. I am
also a regular listener to
Caribbean Night Call — a
one hour program at 1 a.m.
our time, Sunday mornings.
It is on two other mornings,
but that is the night that
McDaniel does the show on
9.535 31 meter bandy There
are many other inspiring and
teaching programs that are
on after I leave for work and
it was .a wonderful experi-
ence to be able to hear them
through the day.
Trans World Radio have
four .other transmitter sta-
tions in Cyprus, Swaziland,
South Africa, Guam and Sri
Lanka.
Many missionaries from
all parts of the world and
from all religious denomina-
tions are part of the com-
munity on Bonaire — at staff
meetings 50 or 60 would
gather in the Activities Bldg.
and it was rather over-
whelming to see so many
dddicatred. _Christians_ __who -
have given up materialism
to spread the Gospel. They
all made me feel very wel-
come in their midst and I
was entertained in many of
their homes. Many of these
are on the beaches and are
lovely sports to swim snorkel
or scuba dive when ..time
allows. Bonaire is especially
noted for its jScitha ° Diving
and is reputed to be one off
the best places in the world
to observe underwater
formations and tropical fish
and sea life.
Before the Phillips family
were accepted as mission-
aries on Bonaire, it. was
necessary for them to raise 3
years of support from many
churches and individuals. At
the end of that time they will
be given 4 months furlough
to return to Canada. During
this time McDaniel must
again generate enough sup-
port through speaking en-
gagements for another 3
years. At no time are they
allowed to ask for money or
to speak of Politics. It is an
amazing mission of Faith.
Mr. and Mrs. Phillips
would like to receive mail
from home. Their address is
McDaniel Phillips; c -o Trans
World Radio, Bonaire,
Netherlands Antilles.

Crossroads—Apr. 10, 19,85—Page 5
Shortly after the sap
started to run, we went over
.to -Elmvale to. visit a sugar
bush. Elmvale is about 15
miles north of Barrie and one
off Ontario's big maple syrup
areas.
Just as you approach the
village, there's a road lead-
ing to what could be called
"Maple Syrup Row."
Ken Ritchie's bush, the
Greenlaw's, and Herman
Lalonde's bushes are all lo-
cated down the road within a
few miles of each other.
A group of schoolchildren
and their teachers were just
pulling into the Lalonde
place, and cameraman Ter-
ry Culbert suggested we go
in there so he could get a few
good action shots.
My wife Jenny had no real
preference as to which camp
we went to. But she had that
glint in her eye that indicat-
ed that wherever we went,
she hoped to latch on to some
maple syrup to take back
with us.
Herman Lalonde and his
son Tim greeted us and be-
gan showing us around.
It's a traditional bush.
There are over 3,000 taps to
take care of, and since the
sugaring -off season lasts
only six weeks or so, they
have to keep hopping.
As in most commercial
operations these ' days, the
trees are attached by tubing.
At Lalonde's, the sap is
pumped into the holding
tanks -by -a converted- milking
machine. Herman says it
allows him to get 17 per cent
more sap. It's just one of the
tricks he's picked up in his 50
years in the business!
But there's no Fancy Dan
stuff. There's just one
evaporator and it's entirely
wood -stocked, It takes a cord
a day to keep it burning.
Nevertheless, Lalonde and
his son had turned out more
than 300 gallons when we
were there, and that was
only halfway into the season.
Jenny and Herman got
along fine. She's a farmer's
daughter and talks the lino.
And she was all smiles when
she got a couple of litres of
maple syrup as a present.
You'd think she'd been given
the Golden Fleece. Of
course; at 'today's prices,
maybe the maple syrup was
worth as much as the Golden
Fleece.
But you know, scientists
still can't figure out how the
maple trees do it. Forestry
experts are a bit embarassed
about it all.
Why, out Of 120 species of
maple trees, does only one
species manufacture the
right sugar? And how do the
"vessels',' of the trees get
filled up and recharged with
sugar overnight? Not just
once, but day after day
throughout the season.
Nobody knows. It's
another one of those sweet
mysteries of life.
