Brussels woman sees Nfld. Discovery Brent Wheeler, right and his cousin Philip look at the message in the bottle the two discovered while walking on the beach near Bayfield. The note is from an 11-year-old Michigan boy who 'mailed' the letter while boating with his dad. Boy discovers note in plastic pop bottle The Wheeler children in Brussels have discovered a rather unique way of finding penpals. Last Wednesday, Brent, seven, son of Brenda and Gerry, was play- ing on the beach at RR1, Bayfield when he and his cousin Philip Wheeler found a plastic pop bottle lying on the sand. Inside was a note dated July 7, 1995. It read: "Hi. My name is Ian Albers. There are two people on board, myself and my dad. We are sailing in a 27 foot Island Packet. Brussels People Jim Smith, Brussels had overnight visitors, George and Beth Smith from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and their daughter and son-in-law from Brampton. They went for a tour of Wroxeter ending with dinner at The Golden Lantern. We are going to the North Channei. If you find this please mail to 38 First Milan, Michigan 48160 and tell where you found it, when and if you were in a boat. I am 11." Five years ago Brent's older sister Brooklyn found a balloon which contained a small note from a child in Kansas. They have been corre- sponding ever since. Brent says he is planning to answer his note but wants to wait until "the paper comes out so I can send it too, because his name will be in it." U-PICK RASPBERRIES (formerly Hunter's Berry Farm) L. & H. Koelen R.R. 3, Brussels 887-6549 Call for orders Hours: 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. Sunday: noon - 8 p.m. Mrs. Winona Martin and her daughter, Mrs. Gwendolyne Tooth have returned from a tour of Newfoundland. Flying Canadian from Toronto via Halifax they landed in Deer Lake, Newfoundland, where Mark McCarthy joined three groups together to form 37 travellers. That evening, they partook of a traditional Christmas dinner prepared by an 85-year-old couple which included partridge berry pie and bakeapple tarts. Following the Viking Trail, Grosse Morrie National Park was reached. An historic trip on Boat Catherine II was enjoyed on a fresh water fiord. Here a caribou was seen. Newfoundland is a land of small evergreen trees, round topped mountains and very many lakes, Martin notes. At Lewisport, the Women's Institute had a wonderful store and museum of old articles, she says while Grand Falls is the home of Abitibi Price Lumber and the salmon ladder. Fishermen are allowed six salmon. Martin says, the roads and homes have many wild lupins, irises, yellow flowers. Houses are built on rocky parts and have ladders to the roof to clean chimneys because they burn so much soft wood. On the seaside there are many lobster and crab pots of different shapes. To the northern shore many Volunteers Needed by Brussels Optimists Club for Walton Motocross Weekend August 17 to 20 Call Dan or Mary Jane Pearson 887-6144 islands were joined by causeways, not bridges. At Twilingate there was a huge iceberg and an old lighthouse. Gander, located on a level tableland, has the Memorial to the Peacekeepers who died in a crash there in 1985. There were 256 lives lost. A small grave in a park is tended by the Masons. Gander Lake is the deepest in N.A. At Salvage cod were drying on racks. Terra Nova National had many fishing villages along the share. At Trinity, a play at 12 places was put on, where maybe 200 followers walked from place to place to hear the story of that building. One interesting place was the Whipping Post, Martin Says. Passing through Hearts - Delight, Desire and Content, the Transatlantic Cable Station was visited. At St. John's the Signal Hill looked down on the narrows that guard St. John's port. There was a famous craft show where the Basilica stands. A dancing show was attended, as well. The O'Brien provided boats, so islands with many birds including puffins were seen. ''The waves were huge and the boats bumped along," Martin says, "but the best exhibit was performed by whales." A tour to Cape Spear Lighthouse, the most easterly point of North America, was taken. On the last evening, following a delicious dinner, there was the Screech Party where all the travellers were made citizens of Newfoundland. "As an ambassador of the McCarthy family, a trip coached by them is strongly promoted," Martin says. • 22 per cent of children ages 6 - 14 live in single parent families.
