Trion Residents
Get Tax Bills
When Trion mailed tax bills
to town residents. two weeks
afzo an announcement was in
cluded with the bill. The town
told residents that although
Chattooga Cour:fl"s tax digest
had been factored by 7 percent
for 1987, Trion did not add 7
percent to its difest.
An amount of $20,047 was
appropriated b{; the 1987
General Assembly for the
Trion school system. This
f;rant was to provide ‘‘relief to
ocal school taxpayers from the
school tax burden,” the an
nouncement said. :
If this P’rant had not been
apgroved or Trion, the 1987
school tax rate would have
been 11.636 mills; the milla;
rate was reduced by .521 mils;
to 11.115 mills, after the grant
was received, the announce
ment said.

What’s Left Of Roger
A hank of hair . . . or fur pelt . . . is about all that's left
of Roger Rabbit, the pawn in the membership drive of
the Summerville-Trion Rotary Club. Or so it seems. Dr.
Jim Ware, right, won the right to keep the rabbit last
week and when he returned Roger at Monday's Rotary
meeting, he spread this white rabbit pelt atop the emp
ty cage and later presented it to Charles Ellington, this
week's winner of Roger. In reality, however, the very
much alive Roger Rabbit was hidden out of sight and
was later turned over to Ellington for his week's so
journ. (Staff Photo).
Trion BOE
Gives Okay
To Policies
The Trion Board of Educa
tion adopted and approved
revisions of certain policies
Monday night. It adopted a
new policy for a comé)laints and
grievances procedure, and
revised policies for reimbursing
board members for trips and
for promoting students.
The complaints and
grievance procedure used to be
short. but now, because of new
state requirements, it has in
creased in length.
“We presently have a one
half page policy on grievances
and in the last 13 years it has
never been used,” Bill Kinzy,
sufiyerintendent of Trion
schools, told the board.
“The State Board (of
Education), in all its wisdom,
had developed new criteria to
be used in this policy and it is
mandatory that we adopt their
new criteria. I have condensed
this policy into four pages. We
must adopt it before Dec. 1.”
The boa.rdp approved the policy.
STUDENTS
The board also approved a
revised policy for promoting
and retaining stucfents. The
revised policy includes stipula
tions that a student can only
flunk twice between
kindergarten and the seventh
grade, and that no student
should remain in any grade for
more than two years.
It was also approved that
board members wflo must at
tend a state-mandated training
session be paid SSO a day in ad
dition to actual expenses.
In other action, the board
rescinded a motion passed at
September’s board meeting on
the board’s regular meeting
time. In September, the board
said it woufii continue to meet
at 5 p.m. on the third Monday
of the month.
Kinzy asked the board to
rescind the motion because the
regular meeting time is not to
be set until January.
The Georgia Teacher Obser
vation Instrument (GTOI) will
be the only evaluation instru
ment used in the Trion schools.
Boards of education across the
state must adopt this evalua
tion instrument if it is used by
the board to decide not to
renew a teacher's contract,
Kinzy said.

‘Sugaring’ Highlight Of Spring In Vermont
“Sugaring." or producing
syruF rom the sap of sugar
maples, is one of the joys of late
winter and early spring in Ver
mont, the Summervifie-’l‘rion
Rotary Club was told Monday.
Dr. N. A. Clark was the
guest of Rotarian Charles Ell
ington, a former classmate and
longtime friend. Clark was
visiting Ellington at his
Christmas tree farm near
Center Post. The speaker was
an agent of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation for 20 years
and went to school at night to
earn his doctorate in agronomy
(the science and economics of
raising crops). After retiring
from the academic world, he
moved to a small farm in
Vermont.
SAMPLES
Clark has about 200 taps on
sugar maples and he built a
small “‘sugaring house" to pro
cess the sap into syrup. He
distributed samples of his
syrup for the Rotarians to
taste Monday just prior to his
talk.
Making syrup in Vermont
is “kind of a %ackyard in
dustry,” he said. The sap in
sugar maples in the nor
theastern United States and
southeastern Canada contain
two to three percent sugar,
making it feasi!?le to boil down
the sap into syrup. .
He saw sugar maples as far
south as Knoxville, 'Fenn.’ Dr.
Clark said, but noted that the
red maples in the Chattooga
Count[\; area probably contain
only about one percent sugar,
ma]};ing it economically un
justifiable to boil down tf‘lle sap
for syrup.
40 GALLONS
It takes 40 gallons of sap to
make one gallon of syrup ifpthe
sap is 2.15 percent sugar, he
said. But if the sap contains
three percent sugar, it takes
just 28.7 gallons of the clear
juice to produce a gallon of
syrup. Efforts are being made
to develop trees with a sugar
content of up to five percent,
Dr. Clark said, but because of
their slow growth, the benefits
won't be noted until the next
generation. & ;
Sugaring usually takes
place between the last of
February and the end of April
in Vermont when the night
temperature ranges between 15
and 30 degrees and the
daytimes are sunny and range
between 45 and 50 degrees.
“The sap will almost literally
flow out of that tree’” under
those conditions, Dr. Clark
said.
THREE TAPS
A three-inch deep hole 7/16
of an inch in diameter is drill
ed into a tree and a tap in
serted, he added. A **good tree”
can easily fill a gallon jug with
sap in less than a day and have
to be replaced with another
jug. Trees can be tapped when
they are at least I;mches in
diameter, he said, and another
tap may be added when it
reaches 16 inches in diameter.
A maximum of three taps may
be placed in a healthy sugar
D
The family of Gertrude L.
Howell would like to thank
everyone for the food, flowers
and prayers during the illness
and 9oss of our loved one. We
would like to thank Dr. Gary
Smith and all the staff at Chat
tooga County Hospital, in
cluding the home health people,
for being so kind. Al;so, a
special thank you to our
neighbors on the z,ill, members
of Mountain View Baptist
Church, Webelos Braves Den,
and area Christians for their
support. May God bless each of
you.

magje after it reaches 20 inches
in diameter.
Vermont has had a couple
of bad years making syrup
because of the weather and a
new insect that has started
reying on sugar maples, Dr,
g‘lark continued. Along the
“tourist strips" in Vermont
during this past season, a
gallon of syrup was selling for
about SSO per gallon he said.
On some ‘‘back roads,” it was
selling for S3O per gallon — his
price. The averfile price was
about S4O per gallon. 4
The sugaring season usual
ly lasts about six weeks. When
maple trees start budding, the
sap first turns bitter andg then
it s(;,ops completely, Dr. Clark
said.
HOSES
While the typical winter
time scene of sugaring shows
buckets on individual trees, he
said that many backyard syru
producers — including himsefi
— actually attach hoses to the
trees and collect the syrup at
one point. The hoses have to be
cleaned and disinfected
thoroughly at the end of the
season, he said.
Si:rup is produced by boil
ing the sap as rapidly as ?ossi
ble, he said. The state of Ver
mont has set a standard for
syrup of wei%‘hing 11 pounds
Fer gallon. The color may be
ight amber or ‘‘fancy,”
medium amber or dark amber.
Syrup heavier than dark amber
is graded as cooking syrup and
is used in such delicacies as
baked beans, Dr. Clark said.
The syrup is filtered careful
ly to remove all impurities and
even the firainy mineral
deposits in the sap, he said.
“RITUAL”
Sugaring is a ‘“ritual of
spring”’ in Vermont, he said.
Almost everyone in the rural
areas of the state has a small
grove of sugar maples, he said.
The largest family operation in
the state has 15,008 taps.
He showed several slides to
illustrate his talk.
Dr. Clark also drew the
name of his host, Ellington, to
win Roger the Rabbit for this
current week. He said he never
saw the name. Ellington said
he had ‘‘a feeling” that he
would win the rabbit since he
didn’t have a bonafide poten
tial Rotary member as guest on
Monday. The rabbit
“‘giveaway'' is part of an ongo
ijng Rotary Club membersfiip
