Bill Bramah-'s Ontario' At the end of a country road necar the Soutbern Georgian Bay village o f Lafontaine is Alcide Ladouceur's place. Nobody ever calîs him by his real name. He's known as 'Bonhomme' (good m an). Bonhomme is 80 now. He lives alone in a bouse that once beld 20 LaDouceurs. He's short, stubby iand jovial. He could be 'Doc' of the Seven Dwarfs. But he's flot that for environment John Veldhuis, always witb an in- terest in the environment, and a teacher at the Bowmanville Senior Public School, presented another first to council on Monday. Six students from the, school sought support from councîl on a plan in which they would plant trees to better the environment. The students, singlely, pointed bo the benefit of trees as lhey relaîed 10 the environmenî, the supply of ox- ygen, food and habitat. One student quoîed from a speech of John F. Kennedy - "It is not what your country can do for you but whal you can do for your country." "We must not give up hope," said one of the students. The students soughl support from council and asked that if the town short, and not as cranky either. sheltered in a forest behind his house is an old sugar shack where Bonhomme makes maple syrup as did his great grandfather when he came t0 this country in the 1700s. When we were there, the season was just begining. Some of his 12 living children and a few of his grand- children were helping him gather the sap from Ibe many pails scat- tered around amiong Irees. There was none of the usual plastic tubing connecting the Irces you see Ibese days. Bonhomme doesn't like il. Inside the shack his son 'Fritz' (bis real name is Wifred) was stoking the wood-burning stove which beats the evaporators, and the resulling maple syrup was being drained mbt. tins by one of Bonhomme's daughters.c Bonhomme's maple syrup has gone as far afield as the Vatican ! He's been 10 Rome a few limes on tours. The last lime he packed a lin of syrup and, escorled by a priest friend of bis, gave il to one of the Pope'.s zecretaries. He shows, me a letter of thanks fromn the Pope of whIli chIlIhe i s very proud. 'I don'î expect nmy syrup tobcbe as good this year' said Bonhomme. 'The acid ram bhas something t0 do with il, but on top of that, God didn't send the right wealher., Nevertheiess, when we joined Bonhomme and his children for pancakes which "Frsilz" made, the syrup we poured on them lasted ex- cellent. So despite the rain bad weather and aIl the resl of it, Bonhommie's maple syrup is still mighly good stuff. could make a small parcel of land on which they could plant trees, flowýers and shrubs.
