One Sweet Tale A Tip of the Toque to Red Man for Maple Syrup by The Indian I get credit i for much but lie rates a of he loque m spring when the sup starts rising Most of us don feci a need in our lives for feather headdresses and but we would miss pancakes and mi pit syrup if vanished from the breakfast table All of them are part of the Indian heritage Like many legacies of culture and custom the origins of maple syrup arc obscure The legend vanes with the teller This spring the Conservation Authority is i presenting a maple syrup demonstration program at the Point Conservation Area and this is their version of the talc Once upon a time a clutch of braves were having tomahawk practice and were using a maple tree as a target The gashes made by the weapons caused the sap to flow The braves tired of their and departed Along came a squaw on her way to the stream to get water She was tired and sat down under the wounded a pie tree Sap from the gashed tree had collected in a piece of birch bark The squaw thought it was water and scooped it up to save herself the trip to the stream When the squaw boiled her venison in the sap her man commented on the sweet taste of the meat and maple syrup was discovered That the story but on closer analysis it is difficult to imagine how the Indians made much syrup At Rattlesnake Point the methods of making maple syrup from pioneer to modern limes arc demonstrated First there is a setup of he Indian method II Is maintained that the Indian used a hollowed log as a boiling vat However the log cant be heated by fire underneath because the ire would burn the log Conservation guides like Marttala explain that the Indian reduced the sap by dropping hot stones Into the INTERRUPTED REVEIRY With spring arriving in be alert to get In their brief instalments this year traditional revelry the skippers bike riders and Celebrating the arrival of marble players have had to spring between snowfalls King skipping and Kim Hcrrlngton and Manna Santos on each end of the rope hollow log However evaporating the water like sap la an onerous job even with ad a need methods How long did It lake to reduce gallons of sap to one gallon of syrup with hot stones doesn t even attempt to guess much less demonstrate There Is no working model of the hollow log Just the hollow log for visitors to wonder at and speculate ALII The next advance In the process was the iron pot method A huge iron pot like a witch cauldron was suspended on a tripod over a good fire rhe fire had to be stoked for 12 hours to reduce a pot of sap to syrup says This model is working at the Rattlesnake Point exhibit After the iron pot the vantages of flat pan evaporation were discovered continued in his speech to visitors He explains that he greater evaporation surface and the smaller quantity of sap made the process go foster shortening the job to six or eight hours Then modern invention arrived with gas fired steel evaporators fitted with controls that regulite the sap level keep track of the temperature and control the flow OUT Or The shiny steel evaporator at Point looks oddly out if place in the lB90stylc which has been built to it Tapping methods have also changed through the years The Indian used a hollow reed for a and caught the sap in buckets made of folded birch bark Two such buckets were found in the conservation area arc on display The pioneers Improved on the better wooden spiles wooden buckets Then came spiles and metal and plastic pails Also mass production It was discovered that the sap could be faster by linking the trees together with hose and that the sip could he forced to flow faster by installing pumps on the And of course man overdid it Now there are warnings dial ire iged or killed by tapping ihe same way a person dies if he loses too much blood The demonstration at Hat tlesnake Point has been clearly for visitors A short walk to the area brings him to the first trees hungwith buckets and Rns explaining what is going on The trail leads to the piece of ground which has been bulldozed Inl to accommodate the and models of equipment NOT 111 Duly about a dozen trees in the area are topped for demon strati on purposes Additional sap from other parts of the con area is hauled in for the exhibits The flow has been little slow far this year because of a Ink of ideal weather conditions for a sap flow frosty nights are needed with daytime pirutures In the The demonstration ire a Is open to the public thin week School roups ire through with guides by reservation only and the school tours
