Herrings Carrys On
Syrup Tradition At Warsaw
Making syrup has been a
Herring family business for
at least two generations.
Bo Herring i*s cooking
syrup from cane juice again
this fall. He dropped the
activity for a time, but built
up the brick chimney and
supports for his cooking pan
this year and started to cook
again. The actual cooking
goes on in the same way his
father cooked syrup for many
years.
Proper svrup cooking is
more art than science, ac
cording to Herring.
''You just keep testing it
ur\jil it get s_ right. Tate up a
dipper full and when it pours
in sticky drops, sort of
spidery-webby. that's the
right consistency," Herring
said.
He added, "If'you over
cook, the syrup will turn to
sugar. It you cut it off too
quick the syrup will spoil."
Herring said 18 gallons of
juice make one gallon of
syrup. "A gallon of syrup
will 'educate' a lot of bis
cuits, though."
He cooks syrup for others,
charging according to h.">w
much of the work he does
himself. Herring gets half
the syrup if he does all of the
work and one-fourth if others
do the actual work while he
supervises.
When he was a boy.
Herring said, he rode a mule
that oulled the long rod that
rotated crushing mill wheels.
His tatner went from mule to
tractor power later. Now. he
powers the mill with an elec
tric motor.
While the chimney and fire
area are now bricked, the
pans and pan arrangement
remains unchanged.
The juice is strained into
buckets as it is crushed out of
' the cane stalks. The buckets
of juice are poured into the
first cooking pan. If more
than one panful of iuice is to
be cooked. Dartiallv coo Led
juice flows from the first'pan
to a second pan and more
juice is added to the first
pan. It can be described' as a
continuous cooking process.
Herring l^ves between
Magnolia and Warsaw He
grows an aire of sane for his
own use, grows and sells
grapes and grape juice, and
grows and sells peanuts, as
green or boiled peanuts. He
also grows tobacco and be
tause of the drought this
summer. he said his crop was
about three fourths of a
normal yield.
Wickline Requests
Property Be Annexed Into Beulaville
Annexation of the property
behind North Carolina Hy
draulics in Bculqville was
proposed by owner Emmett
Wickline at the regular
monthly meeting of the
Board of Commissioners,
October3, in Beulaville.
Wickline presented street
plans for the property and
requested town financial
assistance in providing the
area with water and sewer
service. The property is lo
caied?'behind Witkline's
company on Highway 41.
Commissioners Elvis Sumner
and S.A. Blizzard were ap
pointed to study Wickline's
request and bring a recom
mendation back to the
November town board meet
ing.
The town Board authorized
the signing of a $71,031,
North Carolina Department
of Natural Resources and
Community Development
grant for street improve
ments. The North Carolina
Hydraulics Co., of Beulaville
received a five-year EDS loan
af 5.5 percent interest for
factory expansion from the
community development
block grant funds from the
Department of Natural Re
sources.
Wickline said the factory
nbw employs 27 workers and
makes hydraulic cylinders,
selling most of its product to
- the Champion International
Co. with headquarters in
Goderich. Canada, and a
plant in Columbia, S.C. He
hopes to inctease employ?
? ment to 70 workers over a
? two-year period
The Board authorized town
attorney Rusty Lanier and
Woody Brinson of McDavid
? r,
*
and Associates to aran a
letter to engineering firm of
Boney and Associates stating
problems found with the
sewer treatment plant by the
North Carolina Department
of Resources and Community
Development. Beulaville
Mayor Wilbur Hussev pre
sented the Commissioners
with the inspection report by
F.S. Long, environmental
chemistry consultant with
the Department of Re
sources. Long recommended
the installation of an air
blower to solve sewer treat
ment plant problems.
Woodv Brinson requested
the town release S400 liqui
dated damages assessed
Kipco Piping, Inc. According
to Brinson, Kipco deadlines
had been missed due to the
late work of other contractors
involved in the water project.
The Board voted unani
mously to release the $400 to
Kipco.
The Board held a second
vote on the amendment to
the water and sewer ordi
nance passed with a four to
one vote at the September
meeting of the Beul^ville
Commissioners. The addi
tions stated a non-water sys
tem user must install a meter
to measure the inflow or
outflow of waste for billing
sewer costs, and town resi
dents using septic tanks in
areas not serviced by the
Beulaville sewer system
must provide access to the
tank for town maintenance.
The addition to the water
ordinances stated each resi
dent within the town must
pay water fees even if the
person is not connected to
the system. Fees to residents
who have the town system
available but chooses not to
use the water system are
based on the indebtedness of
the water system. Commis
siuner Rabon Maready re
mained opposed for a second
vote of four to one on the
water and sewer ordinance
amendment.
Commissioner Maready
questioned what action had
been taken to follow recom
mendations by Auditor
Douglas Clark regarding the
signing of town requisitions.
Maready requested an up
date on the progress of
inventorying the town's
assets and vacation time for
town employees.
A discussion of the old
town hall w as tabled until the
November meeting of the
Board.
