A market study released in January noted that ridership on the ferry has been dropping steeply in recent years. More unsettling, the study predicted that the decline will continue unless the ferry service can make itself more popular and more fun. Then a Transport Canada safety report indicated that the fenders on the ferry docks at Tobermory and South Baymouth offer “marginal” safety when water levels fall below chart datum (176.0m above sea level). It looked like this problem at least, would solve itself as water levels rose steadily in winter and early spring. On April 20th, the water rose to only 8cm below Chart Datum, only to fall to 26cm below Chart Datum on the 23rd. Water levels have gone sideways since then so the service could not be started. Cancelling the first week or more of the season will further erode the ferry’s share of Manitoulin-bound traffic. Bruce Peninsula and Manitoulin residents are furious with the delay. Ferry personnel are expecting to be laid off until the boat can run. Why couldn’t this problem have been anticipated and solved? The problem was anticipated, it turns out.

Trail Rehabilitation for Flowerpot Island When a barge, two work boats and an excavator showed up at Tobermory Harbour on April 25, it piqued the village’s curiosity. The mystery deepened when a large truck dropped off about fifty heavy bags the next morning and the excavator started loading them on the barge. The answer is: trail rehabilitation on Flowerpot Island. The 700m section between Beachy Cove and the large flowerpot will be improved and widened very slightly to permit people walking in opposite directions to pass comfortably.

In The Garden: Hints From A Mrs. Gardener weekend of Friday, May 17th, 2013. Submitted by Joni Regan SO this year will be a first for me. I’m going to try to grow some veggies (notice please I said try). I have a 10 x 8 ft garden out back that I have been keeping all of my extra perennials in & it gets a fair bit of sun, so I’m going to give it a try. BUT this garden has been neglected big time for the last few years, it is going to be a big challenge getting it into shape. But I do have a couple of big strong, wonderful Grandsons that I know will eagerly want to help me dig it out. Now all I have to do is figure out a way to keep all the critters out. I’m pretty sure that Pete will be able to MacGyver it for me. Then starts the battle of wits between myself, Bambi, Thumper and now Big Bird. Yes we now have Disney and Sesame Street in the Bury Rd.

Those things are as tall as we are and there are 9 of them. Give your head a shake folks”. We tried the car alarm and a whistle that worked for 3 minutes or so. So people HELP! If you have any humane method of getting rid of Wild Turkeys please. In the meantime I will try the Skoot on all the plants as they are coming up and hopefully Big Bird and his gang of thugs will find a new home.

Dear Kathy “Thanks again for all your help along the way. I've worked with scores of realtors over the years and I can say without hesitation that you are the very best. What I valued most of all was your responsiveness. I always received a prompt and knowledgeable reply to all my questions and concerns. You managed to sell a piece of property that most would agree was simply unsaleable. Not that you will ever need it, but if you ever do need someone to vouch for the kind of job you do you know how to find me.

The Bruce Peninsula Press # 5 April 30 to May 14, 2013 page 31 On The Road Again: Helping Ontario’s Snakes And Reptiles Cross Roads Safely Submitted by Christine Beevis-Trickett, Nature Conservancy of Canada reptiles and amphibians are frequently crossing the road and are at risk of Two summers ago, Tricia Stinnissen spent the summer exploring and getting hit. Once these hotspots are identified, she can determine what factors monitoring natural areas across Ontario. Working alongside Nature Conservancy of most contribute to these hotspots, including traffic volume, habitat, weather, Canada (NCC) staff as a Shell Conservation Intern, she not only gained important speed limit and road characteristics. field experience and visited some of Ontario’s most stunning landscapes; she also “That means that in the future, we can identify and predict hotspots in witnessed first-hand some of the many threats to reptiles and amphibians in the other areas where threat of road mortality is high,” explains Stinnissen. “Then province. we can protect species through mitigation, like ecopassages, fencing or signs Stinnissen was particularly struck by the serious threat that roads and human to warn motorists.” traffic pose to these species. In fact, Stinnissen is already in talks with the Ministry of Transportation and the Bruce Municipality to share her findings. Both are supportive of putting Snake and Turtle Spotting ecopassages in hotspot areas. Now, Stinnissen is doing something about it. She’s currently enrolled in the Masters of Science program in the Environmental Life Science program at Trent Relevance to Conservation Work University. Working in collaboration with NCC staff, Stinnissen’s graduate research And while her bike has taken her farther afield, Stinnissen has not lost her involves collecting connection to NCC. Not only have NCC staff provided advice and support, NCC road sightings has also provided funding to support her research. In turn, NCC will use the of reptiles and information gathered by Stinnissen to inform its land management activities amphibians in the and complete its conservation actions. Northern Bruce “This project addresses a number of actions identified in our conservation Peninsula. plans for the Bruce Peninsula,” says Tanya Pulfer, conservation biologist for NCC.

She’s keenly aware of the ecological importance of reptiles and amphibians. “One of my goals Both amphibians and reptiles are important indicators of a healthy ecosystem. is to spread awareness and help people Many species are associated with water and help clean waterways. Snakes in become aware of the threats and human particular also help control pest populations. Reptiles and amphibians can also impact on these species.
