Maple Syrup festival extends a loving hand

By BEV BIBLER Bowen Center Volunteer 1 met Lester (Dutch) Yoder last spring He was cochairman of the Wakarusa Maple Syrup Festival and I had called for information in connection with bringing clients from our local mental health center to the "doings " The festival is one of the few community-events of its kind that takes place on a weekday when clients can attend Dutch, one of the original cochairman when the festival was started by the Chamber of Comerce .in 1968; was to check with the organizations that run the food booths and other attractions and coordinate the visit of a group our size We talked, over coffee, when I dropped in at his restaurant a few da vs later He asked about our group. 1 explained there would be 18 to 20 people, including staff and The clients, ranging in age from teens to senior citizens, live at home or in adult shelter homes tin our community and come to the center daily for counseling and therapy I was somewhat defensive Even in the 1980 s a stigma stilt exists concerning people with emotional or mental problems "Our group won't stand out from the crowd. I said "They are the crowd - the one out of 10 who has hit a life crisis and needs professional help in working out the problem and integrating back into home communities ” I had been to the festival m past years The feeling of warm, friendly people, proud of their town, comes across There is no garish commercialism and I knew we would all enjoy the "hometown" atmosphere as well as the activities, displays and tantalizing food Dutch said he would meet us at his restaurant, show us where to park and be our guide for the afternoon This surprised me 1

knew how busy he would be during the two-day festival. When 1 asked if he could spare the time, he smiled and told me the Chamber of Commerce was inviting us as guests! Wakarusa isn't even located in the five-county area served by our mental health center and yet, instead of having doubts or prejudice, the townspeople weep welcoming us with open hearts When I tried to express my appreciation. Dutch replied. "Sometimes love is what people in trouble need the most.” We had a marvelous time at the festival There were sandwiches from a whole hog roasted on an outdoor spit; beans served from a huge iron cauldron over an open fire; popcorn popped in a big kettle, apple fritters and elephant ears The workers at the apple fritter booth demonstrated the unique apple corer one of their members had made A local farmer let us hold and pet baby goats and we watched sheep being sheared Woodcarvers explained their techniques, as they worked, and answered our questions. We were introduced to the president of the Chamber of Commerce and other local folk who worked so hard to make the event a success We strolled through the downtown, fascinated by the window displays of antiques; historic artifacts, a collection of ladies hats from different eras; beautiful quilts, some very old. others made by women in the community and other interesting exhibits As we returned to our cars, getting ready to drive out to the maple woods, Dutch told us goodby and left for his school bus run In the maple woods we saw how the dnpping sap is gathered and taken to the sugarhouse where it is boiled down in the evaporator to concentrate the sweet sapwater into maple syrup Then we

headed home, full of good food, filled with pleasant memories and a warmth from the friendliness of the people of Wakarusa Almost a year has gone by. We’ve had the usual turnover of clients at the center. It’s been a long winter and we haven’t been on many field trips. Yesterday, I received a letter from the Wakarusa Chamber of Commerce, inviting us once more to be their guests at the festival. Dutch Yoder won't be there. He had a' heart attack while attending a football game in'Jndianapolis last November He had driven the bus taking the kids on the team from the town he loved so much. Evidently God needed him to help in some other community. We’ll be going to the Wakarusa Maple Syrup Festival in March Dutch won't be our guide this year, but we know the legacy of caring he left will be carried on. along with the annual festival, by all the good people in the community.

| LOUISA’S LETTER

Dear Louisa. We usually take our vacation in June and the children enjoy going to the beach where we rent a house and do our own work. This would be a good plan except for three things. The first is that all three children like to ask their friends to visit us which most of them accept. The second is that my husband's and my friends love to drop in on us for a day or night and the third thing is that this leaves me cooking, washing dishes and cleaning while the rest of the crowd is out swimming or taking a sun bath. 1 have almost decided to refuse to go to the be&ch this summer as 1 always come home exhausted. What do you think about this? Tired-N.C.

You can tell them what vou will have and they can prepare something to go with what you have. There is no fun in having to take a rest cure after a vacation trip. Louisa Address: Louisa.
