Despite ample publicity, the turnout was disappointing — only twenty people came out. The Mayor and Deputy Mayor were there, as were Councillors Tom Boyle and Griffin Salen and several members of staff. About half of the Rotary Club was in attendance plus a smattering of local musicians and thespians. The general public was conspicuously absent. The proposed plans for the building were unveiled by Municipal CAO Bill Jones and Architect Grant Diemert (of G.M. Diemert Architect Inc). The highlights of the proposal include extending the building’s main floor out to the edge of the sidewalk and constructing a single- storey addition along the south side of the building from the sidewalk to beyond the existing east wall. The benefits of the proposal include: • increasing the hall’s capacity from 150 to approximately 185. • adding a main floor kitchen and bar. • adding much more washroom capacity. Everyone who attended was in favour of upgrading the hall. There were, however, some questions about the project and some quibbles about the floor plans. Actors, musicians and Deputy Mayor Patricia Greig all suggested that the washrooms should be located as far as Photo: Architect Glen Diemert’s rendering of the proposed streetfront of the Rotary Hall in Lion’s Head.

Submitted by Esme Batten This spring, while enjoying a sunny drive across the Saugeen Bruce Peninsula (formerly known as the Bruce Peninsula and for centuries before as the Saugeen Peninsula), please keep an eye out for any suspicious looking sticks or rocks on the road – they could be snakes or turtles! Every spring, many herptiles (reptiles and amphibians) will bask on roads and roadsides to soak up heat from the sun and the pavement. Some species, such as the snapping turtle, also use gravel roadsides to lay their eggs. Unfortunately, many of these basking and egg-laying animals often become victims of road mortality, one of the leading causes of population declines for many species of snakes, turtles and frogs on the Saugeen Bruce Peninsula and across Ontario. The Saugeen Bruce Peninsula is home to a variety of herptiles, including Ontario’s only rattlesnake, the Massasauga. The population of Massasauga on the peninsula is part of the most secure population of the species in North America, and is the second largest population in Ontario with an estimated Photo: Massasauga Rattlesnake 8,000 - 10,000 individuals. However, the Photo: One of the “Please Brake Massasauga is listed as threatened in other herptile mortality located by NCC’s “canary in a coal mine” and warn us of for Snakes” road signs that NCC is Ontario under the Endangered Species Crane River Tract and aim to alert road environmental stress and deterioration. installing along Johnson’s Harbour Act, and is at risk of extinction.

In other words, turtles, paved roads close to wetlands during snakes, toads and frogs are the preverbal www.millerlaketimbermart.ca periods of heavy rainfall. Knowledge of these hotspots can identify specific roads where the risk of mortality to turtles, frogs and toads is high. However, for some species such as the Massasauga that is a habitat generalist (a species that can survive in a wide range of habitats and conditions), hotspots for road mortality can’t be identified. Tricia does note that Massasauga mortality rates increased during hot and dry conditions, giving road users a better idea of when more Massasauga may be spotted on roadways. Although Tricia’s research was completed in 2013, the threat of road mortality to our local herptile population is still a major concern and a significant cause of population decline. Knowledge of local herptile road mortality hotspots can help conservation organizations, like NCC, take measures to reduce deaths, such as installing exclusion fencing. These fences divert animals into culverts or specially designed eco-passages under the road so that they can safely move between areas. Wildlife crossing signs can also be installed in problem areas. This spring, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) will be installing four “Please Brake for Snake” signs along Johnson’s Harbour Road with the help of the Northern Bruce Municipality. These signs are being placed in areas with a documented history of Massasauga and BRUCE PENINSULA REAL ESTATE TEAM - DARLENE JAMES DARLENE 519-379-3121 Broker JAMES ABR, ASA, CLHMS Grey Bruce Realty Inc., Brokerage 519-596-2255 Locally Owned and Independently Operated Team Leader CHRIS A SHLEY MAWDSLEY BARKER Sales Representative Sales Representative [email protected] WWW.GREYBRUCEREALESTATE.NET Licensed Assistant Licensed Assistant
