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."

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

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.
