All about Lake Nipissing
Located only 200 miles
or a short 4 hour drive north of the hectic city life
of Toronto, one finds the calming waters of Lake Nipissing.
Renowned for its world class walleye fishing, Lake Nipissing
is unparalleled for its excellent beaches, warm water,
breathtaking sunsets and outstanding boating opportunities.
Sailing and windsurfing on Nipissing are a natural given
the large expanse of water and frequent high winds.
Formed during the Wisconsin
ice-age, the events leading to the retreat of the ice
mass are responsible for the physical topography of
Lake Nipissing. As the lake basin was being formed,
outflows also formed which allowed the prehistoric ocean
to exit through the Ottawa valley. Glacial meltwater
found its way out these outflows, dropping the water
level in Nipissing. As water levels declined between
10,000 - 3,000 years ago, Lake Nipissing formed as a
separate water body.
The great weight of the
ice mass lifted and the land began to rise. This created
a height of land between Lake Huron and the Ottawa River
that until this time had provided the outflow from the
lake. Lake Nipissing now drains westward into Georgian
Bay through the French River.
This new watershed division
would in future represent the most arduous part of the
voyageur route. Fur traders burdened under 100 pound
packs and huge canoes through 7 miles of mud, swamp
and merciless insects through what is known as the La
Vase Portage.

Answers to Trivia
The first rock n
roll song to hit #1 was "Rock Around the Clock"
by Bill Haley and His Comets. It held the top spot for
8 weeks.
"Great Gig in the
Sky" is one of the few Pink Floyd songs to use
a female vocal. The band wanted a girl who could sing
like she was having an orgasm. Their engineer, Alan
Parsons, brought in a singer he knew named Clare Torry
who provided the hauntingly beautiful improvised vocal
on the song. Thirty years later, she would sue Pink
Floyd over rights to the song.
U2's "Angel of Harlem" was written about Billie
Holiday, a Jazz singer who moved to Harlem as a teenager
in 1928. She had a difficult childhood which affected
her life and career, but she went on to play a variety
of nightclubs and became famous for her spectacular
voice and ability to move her audience to tears. Her
final years, however, were tragic. She became addicted
to heroine, was swindled out of her earnings, and died
of cirrhosis of the liver at age 44 with only $0.70
in the bank. She was arrested on her deathbed, in 1959,
as narcotic addiction at that time was considered a
crime, not an illness.
Bessie Smith, the greatest
of all blues singers, is known as the "Empress
of the Blues". A protégé of an earlier
blues singer named Ma Rainey, Bessie recorded during
the 1920s. Her flair and dramatic style would set the
stage for many artists to come, including other transitional
favorites from the 1950's, such as Etta James and Dinah
Washington. Bessie Smith died at the young age of forty-three
in a tragic automobile accident.
"Baby One More Time"
was Britney Spears' first hit. The album sold over 13
million copies in the US and rocketed Britney to super-stardom.
Although there were earlier
publicity stunts involving records sprayed with gold
lacquer, the actual award recognized today as a Gold
Record was first awarded to Perry Como in 1958 for his
recording of "Catch a Falling Star".
"All I Wanna Do"
is adapted from the poem "Fun" by Wyn Cooper.
Sheryl Crow had written music for the song but was unhappy
with her original lyrics. Her producer bought her ten
random books of poetry, and Crow adapted "Fun"
to accompany the music. Cooper is listed as a co-writer
and receives royalties from the song.
Madonna became known as
"The Material Girl" after her hit single of
the same name hit the charts in 1984. She hates it,
claiming she would never have done the song if she knew
the name would stick.
While Linkin Park was at
one time called "Hybrid Theory", they started
out as "Xero". For legal reasons, they eventually
dropped both of the original names and settled on "Linkin
Park" (a deliberate misspelling of the Santa Monica,
California landmark Lincoln Park).
"Personal Jesus"
was inspired by Priscilla Presley's book Elvis And Me,
in which she describes her relationship with Elvis Presley.
