Huntingdon | rs ou es Another highlight of the CVR European Experience was an excursion to Stonehenge, England.The Project Renaissance Arts Atelier is planning its third annual summer day camp in-the-arts.Each summer, dozens of children (ages six to 12)study acting, creative movement and music with young, professional coaches.In the past, camp children have Rey (Photo provided) CVR trip hits the high spots On February 22, 25 CVR students and four chaperones left from Mirabel Airport for Heathrow Airport in London, England - starting point of the 1994 European Tour and ski trip.Withonly three nights, and four days and a full itinerary, the group\u2019s stay in London seemed to fly by.Some of the attractions included Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Stonehenge and the Parliament Buildings.The weather was cold, damp and gray, but there was no snow to be found until the group hit the slopes of Les Trois Vallées in France.On February 26, the group moved on to France, to Les Menuires CVHS special guest at the recent \u201cTaste of Maple\u201d meeting was Jeff Blair, in Les Trois Vallées.For six days the group skied in almost perfect weather conditions and other than Jennifer Carpentier, who broke her ankle, everyone managed to stay in one piece.The last leg of the trip found the group on the T.G.V.(Très grande vitesse), which is the fastest train in the world, who showed the evolution of syrup-making tools used in the Valley.He is pictured holding a hand-held boring brace and an illustration of spouts and miscellaneous items.Maple .years, Jeff outlined the development of harvesting and production techniques to his audience of over 80 members and friends of the C.V.HS.À variety of wooden spouts and anexample of a wooden bucket were displayed.Looking at light shining through the dried-out bucket, Jeff commented, \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t have to gather that too often.\u201d The tap holes were drilledby hand, and horse power moved the sleigh with its gathering-tank through the bush.In the very early days the sap was boiled in iron kettles but the evaporator has been around for more than 100 years.Even today, wood remains the most common fuel used in boiling.Big changes The big changes made theirappearance some 30 years ago.Plastic was on the market and labor to perform the tasks of tapping and gathering was becoming scarce.The gas tapper has replaced the brace-and- bit, and plastic pipeline links the trees.Vacuum applied to the line accelerates the flow of sap.There remains the task of moving the tanks of sap to the sugar house but with some planning this can sometimes be done on anexisting road.Nature rules Jeff pointed out that old Mother Nature still rules the maple product industry, regardless of improved technology.Outside temperatures is a key factor in determining a run of sap.\u2018Temperatures must dip \u2018below freezing at night to be followed by above- freezing, sunny days.Lyman Roberts, longtime members of the society, thanked Jeff for his presentation anddrew attention to the fact that Jeff and some of his Franklin friends had from page 1 completed an area historical | project

Notre-Dame Cathedral and that evening the group took a boat tour along the Seine river.On the last day, they toured the Louvre Museum and had a chance to see the famous Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo.In the evening a farewell supper at the Hard Rock Café was followed by a special trip to Montmartre, where some students had their portraits sketched by the local artists, to end the night and the vacation.The 1994 European tour was a major success, although at least one student was overheard admitting that, \u201cThere's no place like home\u201d.The CVR studentsand chaperones would like to
