People
Family, friends and neighbours
helped Wallace and Jean Bell cele-
brate their 40th wedding anniver-
sary at a special dinner in their
honour at the Wingham Golf and
Curling Club, Saturday evening.
Joining the Bells at the head table
was their family Sharon and Frank
Wilson, Mark and Dean of Blyth
and Wayne, Mary-Jean and Kari-
Jean of Brussels.
Wallace and Jean were married at
Teeswater United Church on July
18, 1943. The bride was the former
Jean Pennington. They resided in
Morris Twp. for many years before
moving to Brussels. Jean worked
for many years at The Old Mill and
is now a employed as the "Sears
lady". Wallace was employed at
Radfords, then later at Donegan's
Haulage. Recently retired, he and
Jean enjoy weekend holidaying at
their trailer.
A social time followed the dinner
on Saturday. Several musical selec-
tions were played by Marie
McCutcheon. Special guests
included Wallace's sister and her
husband Addie and Lorne Hunking
of Londesboro and Jean's brothers ,
Russ, who was master of cere-
monies and his wifeAlice and
Harold and his wife Dolores.
New business in town
A new drive-in refreshment stand open in Brussels last week when young entrepreneurs
Amber Park and Amy Ross set up their lemonade stand on Mill St. West. Neighbour Hank
Ten Pas dropped by to sample the lemonade and get the free cookies that were a bonus.
Ready for lift off
Carla Freeman, formerly of Brussels has her hot air
balloon ready for flight at the conservation dam. Mrs.
Freeman is one of only five women in Canada to earn a
pilot's license for a balloon.
Former resident flying high
By Janice Becker
Carla Freeman, a former Brussels
resident has taken up an exciting
yet sometimes dangerous hobby,
hot air ballooning.
After reading about the adven-
tures of the first London man to
obtain his balloon pilot's license 14
years ago, the young Carla Knight
became interested in the sport. She
eventually met the man, Rob Free-
man who took her for a ride in his
balloon. She was hooked on both.
She and Rob Freeman married one
year after their meeting.
Mrs. Freeman is only the fifth
Canadian female to earn her pilot's
license.
Now into her second year of fly-
ing, Mrs. Carla Freeman has
recently experienced some of the
danger involved in hot air balloon-
ing.
"It started as a beautiful summer
evening that almost ended in disas-
ter," she says.
She says, "I was flying my bal-
loon for about an hour and had just
gotten over London. I was directly
over the transmitter station when
the balloon changed direction and
started heading back to London."
Before she knew what was hap-
pening, Mrs Freeman says, "The
balloon got caught in a violent
wind funnel. We were being spun
in a hundred foot arc, at 60 miles
per hour."
At one point, at a height of 800
feet, the balloon was completely
horizontal and she feared they
would fall out, Mrs. Freeman says.
As she heard the spectators
screaming, Mrs. Freeman kept
blasting the balloon with hot air to
keep it from completely collapsing
and crashing into, the transmitter
below, she says.
After obtaining emergency clear-
ance from the airport, so air traffic
would stay away, Mrs. Freeman
was able to make the balloon climb
1,000 feet through the clouds to a
height of 4,500 feet.
With little fuel left Mrs. Freeman
says she was able to land the craft
gently in a hayfield.
Her mother, Mrs. Dona Knight of
Brussels says, "Everyone was shak-
en up but, they were alright.
Mrs. Freeman is the daughter of
Jim and Dona Knight of Brussels.
Her family has been involved in
flying for several years. Her father
was a fixed-wing pilot for 40 years
and her godfather built open-pit
planes.
She will be flying in the London
Hot Air Balloon Festival, held from
July 29 to Aug. 2 at Harris Park.
This year Mrs. Freeman will be
helping to organize the event as
well as participate for the second
year.
