With Westport's large subsurface sewage dispos- al system (LSSDS) now fully functioning, last week's rain and snow isn't triggering the risks of hav- ing to haul wastewater from the sewage lagoons. On Monday the lagoons still had 8,000 cubic meters of capacity, far from the 4000 cubic meters which would necessitate hauling of sewage to another process- ing facility. While the facility, essentially a sized up domestic septic system, is functioning, the contractor has not yet achieved sub- stantial completion, a legal condition of the construc- tion contract. Pressure testing of the system has identified a The Delta community will be welcoming visi- tors to the village for the 51st edition of the Delta Maple Syrup Festival this Saturday and Sunday, April 21 and 22. The all day pancakes at the agricultural hall is just one reason to visit the fairgrounds. In the upstairs hall crafters will be display- ing their wares while out- side maple producers will be offering up this year's production of maple products. On Saturday and Sun- day on the grounds, there will be face painting, bean bag toss, mini putt for kids and a bouncy castle. On Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. there will be a children's 'Big Truck' experience with police, fire, ambulance present along with a tow truck, cement truck and other vehicles. The Rynstone Magic show takes place on Sun- day at 11:30 a.m. The Brockville Ontario Speedway race car dri- vers will be present from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sun- day to show off their cars and go carts for the com- ing racing season. The Maple Syrup Fes- tival began as a Centenni- al project in 1967. Decades later organi- zations across the village participate with the Delta Mill Society's activities at the Old Town Hall, the Mill and the drive shed and D.A.R.S. with a ball tournament at the rink on Saturday. On Saturday at 1 p.m. there will be a milling demonstration at The Old Stone Mill which will be open for tours from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days. On Saturday there will be a blacksmithing demonstration in the adjacent drive shed. The ever-popular Giant Used & New Book Sale will take place in the Old Town Hall on Satur- day and Sunday. The book sale, which covers more than half of the hall and creeps up onto the stage, is a favorite stop for many visitors to the Delta Maple Syrup Festival. Sales from the event are split between the society and the library which is accepting dona- tions for the sale at their branches. Buyers offer a donation instead of pay- ing a fixed price per book.
