Submitted by Debbie Ray Everyone should experience winter camping at least once in their life time, it is enlightening and empowering. Ever wondered what it’s like to sleep in a “Quinzee”? Twelve grade seven students from Bruce Peninsula District School (BPDS) can tell you all about their experience! A quinzee is similar to an igloo; an igloo is made out of blocks of snow, but making blocks of snow on the Bruce Peninsula isn’t particularly easy. Our conditions are more suited to quinzees, as all you need is a relatively flat area with an abundance of snow. The schoolyard at BPDS made a perfect base camp for our “Intermediate Outers” on Friday, January 28th. Quinzee construction began on Friday morning with the help from the grade seven and eight classes. Five mounds of snow were piled to the desired height (typically six to ten feet), and then allowed to harden for the remainder of the day. After school on Friday, four groups of three students claimed their snow mound and it all became very real. Students Photo: Ready to brave the cold winter night.

Charges Withdrawn in Lindsay Road 20 Beach Dispute A long-standing dispute about the use of a beach at the end of Bass Road (Lindsay Road 20 area) has taken another bizarre twist. Adjacent landowners claim their property line extends to the water’s edge, wherever that may be. Traditional users of the beach say that public use of the beach was guaranteed in the original Plan of Subdivision. On September 4, 2010, a group of citizens entered the beach (photo below) and the adjacent landowners called the OPP. Police officers attended and wrote trespassing tickets to three people. The tickets were contested on the grounds that the beach is public, not private, property. The court date was to have been Jan 27, but the Crown Prosecutor withdrew the charges. A similar dispute at “The Rocks” at Whiskey Harbour reached a similar impasse many years ago. That case is currently winding its way through the legal system.

A Tight Spot for an Emergency Vehicle Carter Lane, Lion’s Head ­— one of the prettiest places in Northern Bruce Peninsula, reached via a romantic, one lane road that twists along the shoreline with no turnaround at the end. Fire and Ambulance crews were misdirected here once in 2010. They spent quite a while getting turned around after the 911 operator gave them the correct location. Meanwhile a man lay dying at Carter Road in Cape Chin South. The Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula is moving to end such confusion (see Publisher’s Rant, page 4).

The Crowsnest fire was firefighting at its best: spectacularly fast response followed by smart strategies and a whole lot of hard work. Firefighters limited the damage to the building that was already engulfed when they arrived. They literally saved Tobermory’s downtown core. The Carter Lane debacle occurred earlier in the year. That was firefighting at its worst. The 911 dispatcher sent them to an emergency at “Carter Lane, Northern Bruce Peninsula”. Carter Lane is a narrow, twisting, shoreline road at the north edge of Lion’s Head. The driveways are steep and narrow and there is no turnaround at the end of the road. Within a few minutes the trucks were crawling along Carter Lane, looking for the right street number. Then the 911 dispatcher revised the emergency location to “Carter Road, Northern Bruce Peninsula”. That’s in Cape Chin South. It would have been a fifteen minute drive if they were starting from the fire station. But they weren’t starting at the fire station. They were pointed the wrong way on a twisting, dead-end lane with no turnaround. It took them So you’ve rented a cottage on the Bruce Peninsula, an extra fifteen minutes just to turn the trucks around. and you have an emergency. You call 911 and give The man at Cape Chin died. the address and the dispatcher says “Is that Dock 911 Changes Everything Street, Dock Lane or Dock Drive?” And you say “(expletives deleted)”. We didn’t have this sort of problem in the good old days. If the street name is Forbes or Dock or Carter or In the good old days we just called whichever John or Water... You could be almost anywhere in emergency service we needed and the person who the Municipality. answered was probably somebody we knew and we didn’t even need to tell them our address.

Hoping we could complete the call before the fire melted our phone line... The 911 service is a great idea and a big improvement, but it does introduce a new set of problems. The 911 dispatchers are in Walkerton. They know a lot about emergency response, but they don’t know you or your house or your street. To them, your emergency is a name and an address in Northern Bruce Peninsula. The computer will show them where you are. Too Many Docks, Forbes & Waters But the street name duplication in NBP makes it a nightmare for 911 dispatchers — and occasionally for emergency response teams. We have Dock Street in Lion’s Head, Dock Drive west of Tamarac Island and Dock Lane in Dyers Bay. For good measure, we also have Government Dock Road in Stokes Bay. There are three streets named Forbes, three named John, two Waters, two Carters and so on. We need to fix this. In fact, MNBP is already moving to fix this.

This coming March, a 100-woman art exhibit at AyrSpace gallery in the village of Ayr, Ontario will showcase local artist Kim McKellan. Kim was one of 100 women from all over the world that were chosen to be part of this international art exhibit. The five week exhibit, starting March 9th running through April 10th will contribute partial proceeds from the sale of the artwork to the relief effort of Haitian women and their children. Kim’s piece titled “Home Tree” is a reflection of her personal experience. In her own words “Home Tree is my image for what it is that holds women together. I cannot pretend to know the life that another woman lives across the world or across the street but nevertheless, I feel connected to her and it is this connection, this spirit that all women can all draw upon for strength, for solidarity, for respite or renewal. On this tree, every woman that has ever been leaves her mark and her energy and spirit live on”.
