Dawson Council Denies Appeal Against Slinky Mine Development PermitStory & PhotoBy Dan Davidson

Excavation ends without finding more Coffins

This story was considered big enough to attract a CBC

news crew, who were also covering the dig.

Slinky Appeal NewsCont’d from p. 1

Usually feisty when it comes to challenging senior

levels of government, Mayor Peter Jenkins kept

talking about municipal impotence and the legal

limitations faced by the city.

Wayne Potoroka had felt that the

development permit was issued in error

to avoid it.

Rick Riemer and Bill Kendrick both felt that the town

needed to have some way to exercise control over the

mine, and that this was better than doing nothing.

Gold Fever

By Vicki DelaneyRendezvous CrimeNapoleon & Co.290 pages$18.95

It was the spring of 1898 when we met Fiona MacGillivray in Gold Digger, the first of Vicki Delaney’s Klondike mystery series. Fiona has a checkered past which I compared to that of Conan Doyle’s Irene Adler when I reviewed her

artist, a thief and a high-class lady of the evening in Great Britain, and there is some reason we don’t know about yet why she had to leave Toronto in a hurry.

She came to the Klondike with her teenage son, Angus, to get away from some situation in the south, and to make as much money as possible. With the assistance of her business partner, Ray Walker, she

Saloon and Dance Hall (with a few

her fortune.She and Ray are doing very well,

but things keep happening around them to bring trouble into their lives. Spring was busy. That was when the body turned up in the middle of the dance stage.

This is one of several liberties that Delaney has taken with history in order to be able to have murder mysteries set in Dawson. As she

admits in her afterword there were no murders in Dawson during the gold rush period.

The other major liberty she has taken is with setting, placing Moosehide Village on an Island north of Dawson in the Yukon River instead of on the east bank where it belongs. This enables her to underline the points she has to make about racial discrimination, so it’s a distortion in the service of a good cause.

There’s another murder in the present book. Actually there are two. The first victim is a nasty piece of work who Fiona has banned from the Savoy for his treatment of the girls. The second is one of Fiona’s former dance

because she kept turning up to work drunk.

Early in the story kind hearted Angus rescues a young Indian (today we say First Nations, but

woman from drowning and, with the help of his mother and Con-stable Richard Sterling of the North West Mounted Police detachment, frees her from servitude to the notorious madam, Joey LeBlanc. Mary, the English name the native girl uses, believes herself to have been sold into slavery to LeBlanc, but Fiona and Sterling set her straight on that.

Fiona lets herself in for quite a bit of social disapproval when

she allows Mary to stay in one

her employment in the laundry establishment run by her landlady, Mrs. Mann.

Unfortunately for Mary, when Chloe the dancer is found dead in Paradise Alley, Mary falls under suspicion and is arrested by the Inspector McKnight, who is con-vinced that she is his best suspect. Even after Tom Jannis is found dead in the lobby of another local hotel the Inspector refuses to see any connection between the two deaths or to admit that Mary, who was locked up when the second oc-curred, could not be the killer.

All of this is almost a sideshow to the events in Fiona’s life. Who should arrive in town but a lady re-porter with delusions of adequacy, Martha Witherspoon, accompanied by her female companion, Euila Forester. Fiona faints when she sees her childhood friend, the daughter of the Scottish nobleman for whom her father had been a retainer, and under whose roof she had learned the manners and the

served her so well as an adult. We learn the story of Fiona’s

childhood, how she was orphaned and how she drifted into life in the underclass from which she has raised herself with her winning combination of brains and beauty.

It’s not all grim and grit, mind you. There’s romance. Fiona has attracted the interest of a number

of men in town, the two most likely prospects being Sterling and an American reporter named Dona-hue. There’s humour. Miss With-erspoon could provide comic relief all by herself, but the hopelessly lovestruck Sergeant Lancaster adds some spice to Fiona’s life. Ray’s vain quest for the affections of the dancer, Irenee, is also somewhat amusing, though the relationship triangle in that strand of the story takes an unforeseen turn before the tale is done.

The narration moves around a bit. Somewhat more than half of the book is from Fiona’s point of view, in her voice, but Angus, Sterling and several others also have their third person viewpoint chapters, and this adds a bit of variety to the story as well as letting us see Fiona as others see her. In addition, we get some overlapping scenes in which the same events are seen from different vantage points.

This book is set in the summer of 1898, so not a lot of time has passed

planning to follow the seasons, we can expect the next story to take place in Dawson’s brief autumn.

Vicki Delaney is currently turn-ing out two different series. The Smith and Winters books take

place in the imaginary town of Tra-falgar, B.C., in the present day and there are three of these so far, with another due to appear this month. She has also written three stand-alone mysteries. Frustrated by be-ing a part time writer for a number of years, she took early retirement from her job as a systems analyst with a major bank in 2007 to devote herself to writing full time. After a career spent working in Oakville, Ontario, she now lives and writes on Prince Edward Island.

CHRISTMAS DRINKING AND DRIVING COUNTER ATTACK As the Christmas Season is now upon us, the Dawson City RCMP has started the Christmas Drinking and Driving Counter At-tack Campaign. You will start seeing more police check stops at various times of the day and night. Members will be focusing on impaired driving, but they will also be enforcing the Motor Vehicle Act, so make sure you have your up-to-date insurance, registration and driver’s licence in your vehicle with you. Snowmobilers will also need to have their documents available, if they are driving on the road.

column in the Hunter-Gath-erer series by Allie Hay-dock. It’s been a few years since we’ve had a cooking column so it’s nice to see this happening again. Did you know that Daw-

sonite and occasional Klondike Sun contributor Meg Walker is now co-ed-iting the weekly What’s Up Yukon? and that Dawson’s presence in that paper is expanding? Berton House related

books continue to ap-pear. Charlie Wilkins has released The Wild Ride (Stanton Atkins & Dosil Publishers), a history of the early years of the RCMP, including a section on the Gold Rush, which I’m sure was informed by his three months as writer-in-resi-dence. We welcome the return of

the RCMP Blotter after an absence of some months. It’s good that they have time to prepare it again af-ter a busy season.

We all know what happened to the 99 bottles of beer on the wall, but what about the 592 liters of waste oil, 6 propane tanks, 43 liters of assorted toxic substances and two cans of bear spray? These are just few of the large list of hazardous waste items that were safely collected at the Conservation Klondike Society’s (CKS) fall household hazardous waste day September 26, 2010. 788 kilograms of hazardous waste was was collected with the

of the Yukon Government. The tally of the waste has

peroxides, toxic substances (insecticides, fertilizers, moth killer, furniture stripper), acids, bases, and unknown substances. These different kinds of waste were then transported by the YTG to specialized storage facilities until they are sorted and moved to waste disposal and management facilities in the South. The waste collected may no longer be gracing our garages, sheds

or closets, but it is most certainly not gone. There are many

technologies and processes in place to protect people from exposure to hazardous waste. These processes involve either redistribution of substances, or chemical treatment of materials to make them storable in

the Klondike region, or our planet is to limit the purchase and use of these products. If these kinds of waste were

household waste they would become sources of water, air and soil contamination.The next House Hold

Hazardous Waste day will be held in the spring, keep your eyes on the CKS announcement board and on www.conservationklondike.org. Remember to store your hazardous waste in a safe place until it can be safely and responsibly disposed of. Don’t forget that the recycling depot would love to take those 99 empty beer bottles off your hands.

CKS is also excited to announce the arrival of its very own Electric Vehicle (EV)! The truck will be used for the recycling depot’s paper collection program. Many thanks to Doug Cotter, who built the CKS EV, and Peter Menzies, who generously lent CKS his own electric truck to test the recycling program, for their ongoing support.

Eye on SOVABy Rheas Flanagan

This week we wrapped up our drawing from the imagi-nation unit in Veronica’s class. One part of the assign-ment was to draw ourselves as animals. The variety of species we likened ourselves to could rival the ark. Ev-erything from seductive she-bunnies to more local animals like bears and dogs to an eagle with a human head and hands instead of talons.

We are starting work on our final sculpture for the semester, which will be made out of 1000 found objects. Students are looking for sin-gle socks, cigarette packages, and sticks. If you have an abundance of any or all of these things, we would be much obliged if you could drop them off at the school.

Audible sighs of relief could be heard as we handed in our English essays to our teacher, Jen Laliberte. MLA may be the way, but it’s also a real pain in the neck.

I think we can all agree that the highlight of the week was our performance art. One dizzy student spun until he fell over. Another acted as a human bowling ball, knocking down her peers in the dark. There was wood chopping, and jump roping, nudity, and chanting. Oh we had fun.

Over the Wire is a project series that creates an exchange between an established art-ist and the KIAC School of Visual Arts. Celebrating the extreme remoteness of the school, the project mediates the geographical distance by fostering a correspondence between the artist and SOVA students. Each semester, a set of instructions created by a distant artist is delivered to the students in order to produce a new work. The students in turn interpret the instructions and create the work locally for exhibition.

Last Crossing at Noon

By Dan Davidson

When the banks are sugar frosted

and the leaves have blown away

and the river’s gelid surface

seems a frozen steel grey;

and the cable spools perch on the dyke,

all ready for the fray;

as the frazil ice begins to smash

against the moving boat

then the cats and graders harness up

all on that final day,

for you know it’s time to pull the ferry out.

Please be advised that the City would appreciate it if there are no vehicles left parked on the side of the road all season long. It makes it very di"cult for the grader operator to do their job with vehicles in the way and it is also a contra-vention of the Tra"c Bylaw.This year the City will be towing all vehicles left on the side of the road, espe-cially during snow removal season, and all costs will be incurred to the owner. We hope to have everyone’s cooperation on this matter.
