Forcible entry The manager of the Victoria Harbour IGA stands in front of the broken window of the village business, last Friday morning. Three adults and a young of- fender have been charged in connection with the break-in. Huronia is going through a period of a Search for students These snowy days, sum- mer jobs are a hot topic at Huronia's two prime historic sites. The annual search has begun for the historic interpreters who breathe seasonal life into summer programs at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, and the Historic Naval and _ Military Establishments in Penetanguishene. Pierre Lefaive (recently appointed interpretive of- ficer at Sainte-Marie) and Bill Brodeur, education and interpretive officer at the Establishments, are seeking students to work at the historic sites between May and September. Many of those will be local; others will come from dif- ferent parts of Ontario and Quebec. Application forms for summer jobs at Sainte- Marie and the Establishments are available at Canada Employment Offices, at Sainte-Marie and the Establishments. Informa- tion may be obtained by calling 526-7838 or 549-8064. The deadline for the submission of applica- tions is Jan. 31. A number of applicants will be selected for inter- views early in February. Bill Brodeur, Pierre Lefaive, Bill Byrick (co- ordinator of programs at Sainte-Marie) and Burke Penny (co-ordinator of pro- grams at the Establishments) will spend two winter weeks on the road, touring Ontario University campuses and interviewing students. What do they look for? Says Brodeur, 'People skills are very important. Our interpreters enjoy be- ing with people, and they enjoy communicating our stories to them. We also look for qualities of innova- tion and creativity and an appreciation of living history." French language skills are very important for both sites. Sainte-Marie and the Establishments welcomed an unprecedented number of French visitors in 1986 and it is hoped that this trend will continue. Bil- ingual interpreters help to complete the range of French language services available at both sites. Working at Sainte-Marie or at the Establishments in- spires unique loyalties and affections. This month, many summer employees are returning to the Establishments to volunteer some hours at the annual Christmas open house, December 20 and ale It is not unusual for sum- mer staff to return to both sites summer after sum- mer. Some former inter- preters have made careers out of living history. Both Pierre Lefaive and Bill Brodeur spent several sum- mers as historical inter- preters. Now, they're look- ing forward to meeting and interviewing a new group of potential interpreters. Once again, the doors are open for local and area young people to ex- perience the special adven- ture of being insiders in the worlds of living history.

Two young offenders have been charg- ed in that case. Dui DLbighls Spot checks The RIDE, or Reduce Im- paired Driving Everywhere program, is working well in Penetanguishene, Police Chief Bob Cummings reports. Over the weekend, Pene- tanguishene Police stopped 157 cars, and handed out only one 12-hour licence underway suspension, the chief reported. A Pene- tanguishene man failed the roadside breathalyzer test Friday night. Cummings added the pull-overs resulted in two Highway Traffic Act of- fences and one warning. The program is, in effect, province-wide to reduce the number of accidents in- volving impaired drivers during the party-laden holi- day season. The law classifies a per- son with an alcohol level of more than 0.08 per cent in his bloodstream as im- paired.

Prior to this decision a doctor's note could merely "'claim"' a student had been ill. Those visiting ESPSS last Friday, may have been in for a shock when they took note of the many students wearing mismatched shoes. This was another wacky dress-up day to ligthten up the week. Eear- ing unmatched shoes was the appropriate dress code. Today, History students in grade 12 travelled to Toronto to visit the Art Gallery and the Toronto Stock Exchange. It should other car.

For. the grade 11 historians, an all-day field trip in Toronto is schedul- ed for tomorrow. They will be able to lie back and look up at the stars (even if it is a cloudy day) at the McLaughlin Planetarium and later roam around the Royal Ontario Museum. If students are planning on buying a school ring for themselves or _ their sweetheart, they should start saving. The rings are now on sale.
