A revved-up new Chamber of Commerce is ready to tackle the challenges of changing roles, both within the chamber and the chamber's place in the East Jordan com­ munity. Leading the charge is the 1995 board of directors. The members have an agenda for the future of business in East Jordan they hope will positively influence the city's growth and importance. "Our role in the community has evolved into one of leadership," explained Mary Faculak, executive director. "We used to be more just a 'festival giver'. Now we're spending more time with businesses, and becoming more involved with the city and county." Faculak's own role as executive director of the board perhaps reflects the general direction the chamber is mov­ ing. Her job has developed into advising, economics, promotions and business planning, as she meets with potential new business owners. She often helps draft man­ agement plans, studies financing feasibility, and directs potential entrepreneurs to available resources. "Business After Hours (the chamber's periodic after- efforts include marketing of the community, and offering A.

EAST JORDAN JOURNAL -WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1995 «5 State-of-the-art sugar bush BY DEB SA YGERS HOBBS Journal Editor

Native Americans living in this region produced maple sugar and syrup long before the European "invasion" of North America. Early French and English explorers wrote of the "sweet water" Indians drew from trees and heated to make maple products. No buckets to empty, no spigots to clean, no foreign matter to filter off, and no constant stirring over a slow fire. Instead, the sugar bush is a spider web of gray and black tubing, attached to thousands of brightly-colored plugs connected to the trees, a higher yield is collected, and there is relief in some of the more labor-intensive phases of traditional sugaring. High-tech hits the sugar bush? Although some of the materials may be considered so, this modern method of sap collection has been in use for a number of years by larger producers. The system is in place at Wagbo Peace Center, just south of East Jordan. The stately sugar maples, dominating two ridges on the DESPITE MODERN sugaring methods, Lady and Prince, apair 212-acre Echo Township estate left in trust by the Wagbo of working Belgians, still have an important role at sugar time. sisters, provide the prime source of income for the self- They haul equipment and visitors, such as these East Jordan sustaining farm and education center.

Wagbo house. In fact, one of their very first activities was to build a sugarhouse behind the garage. The sugarhouse and the system of tubing that brings the sap to the house have now seen the Meisterheims effec­ tively through two sugaring seasons. In 1994, about 1,200 trees were connected, and this year another 800 were added. Rick hopes to eventually connect enough trees to use the evaporation tanks to their full capacity. Each ultra-violet protected line of plastic tubing aver­ ages about 200 feet, and with 2,000 trees connected, there are literally miles of the tubing in the sugar bush. That doesn't even count the main line running from collection tanks in the woods down to the holding tank. The Wagbo farm and forest is really the ideal spot to install such a system.
