A new marker which will recognize both saints is being prepared for the grave site in the reconstructed church. The chain fence which encloses the gravesite will be removed and replaced with a more appropriate wooden structure. It is here that Pope John Paul IT is expected to pray on Sept. 15 Rite Crum peter swans? They are enormous and will be hung within the fleshing area in the building to the left as one enters the main gate. 'Trumpeter swans once lived in Huronia_ until the population was destroyed by over- hat, py teense Archaeological evid- New : ence from Sainte-Marie excavations suggests that the swans were a major food source for the French. Later they became an important item in the fur trade. Within the Church of St. Joseph, visitors will be able to examine ecclesiastical robes made in the 17th century style, a tabernacle and a pair of candlesticks, fashioned in the 17th century image. The most lively ad- dition to Sainte-Marie's summer is the staff of 21 young men and 18 young women who will work as guides and site in- terpreters. Nineteen of the young people are from the Midland area. They were chosen from 450 applications which were winnowed down to 220 personal interviews. Acting Education Officer Chris Bagley says he looked for intelligence, en- thusiasm, personality, dilligence and interest in the site. The training program began May 7 with the aim of giving site visitors the best experience possible. Many of the summer staff speak French as well as English. A few speak German, Spanish and Italian. The season ahead is a historic one because of the visit of Pope John Paul II. But the prime aim of everyone at Sainte-Marie is to make this the best summer ever for the visiting public. The season will be enriched with a number of special events. A greatly expanded Shondecti (July 14, 15) includes a rendezvous of descendants of French draftsmen and laymen who once lived at Sainte-Marie as well as a cross-country walk and an arts and crafts display and sale. FRe Reflections 1648 (Aug. 6 - 10) brings the 20th century into the seventeenth as_ in- terpretive staff assume the personalities of actual people who once lived and worked at Sainte-Marie. All summer, the Cafe, a new enterprise operated by the Friends of Sainte-Marie will offer light refreshments to visitors. Sainte-Marie among the Hurons is a careful reconstruction of Huronia's' fascinating past; Sainte-Marie also continually offers new perspectives and energies. Local residents are invited to experience the old and the new at Sainte-Marie free of charge on opening day, Saturday, May 19.
