First, when the helicopter came into view and the Holy Father waved. It felt like he was waving at each one of us individually. Then, when the crowd head he was near the field in his Popel obile, they all began Waving 'and cheering and that was an elec- trifying moment too:". Father Dentinger said it had been drizzl- ing rain but the weather cleared and the sun came out during the Pope's talk. "He had a real rapport with the ,crowd. It was very inspiring." - Overall, Father Dentinger describes the experience as an outstanding event. He said the native garments were beautiful and the crowd was entertained by both a choir and by watching the Pope's activities on a giant television screen. "It was very touching when we saw him go to meet the handicapped people at the altar." Father Dentinger said none of the people in his group regretted the trip to Midland and some of the elderly ones whom he had, been worried about making the trip were "as hale and hearty as ever" at the end of it all.

Marie -among -the -Hurons is a mission that -was rebuilt on its original site near. Midland in 1967. The Jesuit Mission was built by French missionaries in the early 1600s and burned to the ground in the 1640s by the same priests who built it when tension between the Huron and Algonquin Indians grew. On Saturday, the Mission was the first stop made by.Pope John Paul II when he visited Midland. While at Ste. Marie, he was given a tour of the Mission church, homies of the Jesuit priests, and rested in a reconstructed Indian long house. Seaforth Huron Expositor reporter Ron Wassink spoke with Anne McCue, an Ojibway Indian, following the historic papal visit. Mrs. McCue and her daughter were in the long house with Pope John Pa ul. "I was on cloud nine all day. I was quite nervous before he came, but when we met him, he hugged my daughter Mary and her friend Jennifer. "It see natural for the Pope to rest in the 1 pg 'house. We talked about the Huron Indians,and he asked me if we were Hurons. I explained to him I was Ojibway. "But before he came inside, the girls asked him to come in. He asked if we lived here and I said no and explained to him a long house was used by Indians hundreds of years ago. "We invited him to sit down --he sat on a log covered with a bearskin. It was all so peaceful. He was very comfortable and seemed glad to sit down. He was like any other visitor to Ste.. Marie, but he was a very special visitor. "T explained the matrilineal system to him. It's a system where Indians traced their ancestry through the women, not the men. And we talked about the long house and the Mission. "When it was time to go, somebody behind the Pope handed him two white - boxes in which'there were rosary beads. The girls each gave him a corn husk doll, dolls they had made especially for him. "But I don't think he wanted to leave at that moment. He continued to sit. He really looked tired. But the most surprising thing was that nobody expected the Pope to sit with us. "All the time we talked in the long house, about eight minutes, I couldn't keep my eyes off him: It was a spiritual experience- -an experience which made my faith stronger.. "He is a very warm "man. I always pictured him as a big man, but he's only my height—about five foot seven. And he has a real soft spot for children. He coul tn't keep his hands off the two small girls. He continually hugged and kissed them. "When he left, he thanked us for asking him into the long house. And we hugged each other and started crying." HURTS HAND The volunteers and tour guides at Ste. Marie all shook hands with Pope John Paul as he made his way to the Popemobile. Local residents, who watched the event on television, saihope was rubbing his hands, as 4f = e from too many handshakes But Mrs. McCue said the Pope suffered a minor accident as he walked to the Popemobile. "He stumbled and hit his hand on a steel post. It must have hurt because he kept rubbing it and showed it to somebody. But it didn't seem to be bleeding." ( This could be the reason why the Pope did not go into the crowd to shake hands later at the Downsview site.) Just before he left, he told all of us that • he too would like to volunteer to work at Ste. Marie -among -the -Hurons, but he said his superiors wouldn't permit it," said Mrs. McCue. "His visit was an historical event that 'we were part of. And it may be an event that never happens again." Study shows hospice not needed her -e... • from page 1 process by the development of protocols surrounding the death of a child. On this subject, the project report came to the con- clusion that when you combine this infor- mation with the high infant mortality rate in Huron County, there appears to be a need for a bereavement program in the county. OTHER CONCLUSIONS From the demographic data collected for the project report, it was shown that Huron County has a higher number of deaths per thousand population than the province on the whole. The project con- cludes that this may indicate that there is a need for some kind of service for the ter- minally ill and the bereaved. It says some of these needs are being met by community services, hospitals and clergy. And while Alexandra Marine and General Hospital has the only formal palliative are program; many of the palliative care concepts exist in varying degrees in the other hospitals surveyed. It concludes that this is an indication of why most people surveyed were satisfied with the hospital care they received during il- lness and at the time of death; while in contrast, professionals recognized specific needs and further action to enhance the quality of life for families suffering through a serious illness and loss. The project (report also concludes that there is a limited need in Huron County for any type of bereavement support because the community spirit enhances palliative care concepts, giving comfort and support HURON -MIDDLESEX (PROV.)

Thus, only those who have no support in the community, as well. as the 10 per cent of all bereaved who have ij �s -e 1 ms dealing with grief, have specific needg for professional counselling. The report says bereaved parents, widows and widowers without any support could benefit from the Skills of a bereave- ment counsellor working out of Public Health to assist in the formation of self- help groups and individual counselling, as bereavement follow-up is a form of preventative medicine. • The primary objective of the project study was to determine if there was a need for a free standing hospice in Huron Coun- ty. Clearly, the results of the study do no support this model of care, however, it is shown that other alternatives do exist. 4 JOE HOGAN PRESIDENT GLC.
