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.
