Members of Simcoe County Arts and Crafts Association, in con- nection with -- their Inspiration Thor Hansen display have set up a quilt in the Museum auditorium and through the next couple of weeks will be working at quilting the piece. Hilda Sibthorpe, who is in charge of the quilting project says she doesn't know exactly how many will be working on it, but she is quite confident there will be at least two at any one time work is in progress. This demonstration will provide an insight into how several of the eraftwork pieces on display have been created. Besides a couple of quilts, the display in- cludes Thor Hansen designs produced through several types of needlework and rug hooking, along with a ceramic creation and a suncatcher. There are also five original pieces of in- terior decoration which Thor created from the British American Oil head office building on Toronto, (now Gulf Oil.) These pieces are on loan from the oil company. Steven J.T. Godry DOr se: wishes to announce his associateship with W. Reg Nicholson D.C.

Traditional guided tours will be suspended during the week of Reflections as costumed historical interpreters assume the per- sonalities of those who lived and worked at the mission in 1648. Visitors will be greeted and prepared for their first-person Reflections experience ahead of time. 'Then they will be free to follow their imaginations through the palisade gate and into Sainte-Marie as it was in the fall of 1648 - a community of priests, native people, lay workers and a few soldiers. Ontario's first European settlement throbbed with life and hope in 1648; few foresaw the tragedy that was to befall the mission in the coming months. Says Sharon Arm- strong, Sainte-Marie's interpretive and education officer, "Reflections gives the visitor a real op- portunity to step into another century as our interpreters try to live the day-to-day struggle that was life at Sainte- Marie in 1648." First person por- trayals are based on research, private study and imaginings. Interpreters choose the historical personages whom they wish to portray. Interpreter Tim Braund chose two roles. Museum open daily Huronia Museum is located in Little Lake Park, and is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and from 11 to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. GIANETTO'S 526-2761 eee | coer! gor YOUR "T will play Father Noel Chabenel and Ambroise Brouet, who was cook and later laybrother at Sainte-Marie. The two personalities balanced each other."' Tim's research in- dicates that Father Chabanel was an_in- teresting personality. Says 'Tim: "He somehow never felt as if he quite fit in here at Sainte-Marie. Although he was a classical scholar, he couldn't get his tongue around the Huron language. He tried but he never truly felt comfortable with native customs and foods, yet he made a vow lo stay here until he was martyred." There is little in- formation on Ambroise Brouet, but Tim has put a lot of thought into the kind of man he must have been. '"'I like the visual interest in the cookhouse," he says, "and I like to prepare food for my friends. I think I have a feeling for this man from France who used what was available - corn, a duck, some pork on special occasions - to feed those who lived here."' Interpreters also study the France and New France of the 17th century. 'his insight gives their Reflections 1648 added depth. There were no European women at Sainte-Marie in 1648 but Reflections visitors may meet a costumed gentlewoman busily plying her needle in a quiet corner of the Sainte-Marie museum. Her role is to provide insight into the life of 17th century France and New France. Nicole . Couture will play that role several times during Reflections. She will also be on site some of the time, wearing her 20th cen- tury H.H.P. tour guide uniform. In that role she will provide a link F MIDLAND Y GREENGROCER between past and present. Says Nicole, "If a visitor asks a question thaf a 17th century Frenchman or native person could not answer, we will bridge the gap to assist the visitor and maintain the validity of the Reflec- tions experience." Tim and Nicole say participation in Reflections provides stimulation and refresh- ment to their jobs as historical interpreters. Reflections event stirs the imagination of visitors who have the opportunity to talk to actual historical per- sonages. Sainte-Marie among the Hurons is on High- way 12 just east of Midland, Ontario. Travellers and loeal friends are all invited to visit the historic site between Aug. 6 and 10 when the barriers of lime will be erased.
