All of this is almost a sideshow to the events in Fiona’s life. Who should arrive in town but a lady reporter 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 UHĂ€QHG XSSHU FODVV DFFHQW WKDW KDV 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

Bookends by Dan Davidson of men in town, the two most likely prospects being Sterling and an American reporter named Donahue. There’s humour. Miss Witherspoon 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 VLQFH WKH ÀUVW RQH ,I 'HODQH\ LV planning to follow the seasons, we can expect the next story to take place in Dawson’s brief autumn. Vicki Delaney is currently turning out two different series. The Smith and Winters books take

place in the imaginary town of Trafalgar, 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 standalone mysteries. Frustrated by being 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.

DID YOU KNOW? 7KLV LVVXH PDUNV WKH ¿UVW 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.

THE KLONDIKE SUN

Conservation Klondike Update November  2010 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  DVVLVWDQFH DQG ÂżQDQFLDO VXSSRUW of  the  Yukon  Government.  The  tally  of  the  waste  has  just  come  in,  and  makes  for Â

an  eclectic,  long  and  pretty  unappetizing  read.  The  waste  collected  was  divided  into  classes  which  include  compressed  gases  (aerosol  cans,  your  trusty  bear  VSUD\ Ă€DPPDEOH OLTXLGV (things  like  transmission  Ă€XLG R[LGL]HUV DQG RUJDQLF 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 Â

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  ODQGÂżOOV RU GHHS ZHOOV 7KHVH treatments  don’t  get  rid  of  hazardous  materials  so  much  as  they  limit  peoples’  exposure  to  hazardous  materials.  These  disposal  methods  are  the  best  ways  we  have  to  manage  hazardous  waste  but,  the  best  way  to  ensure  that  hazardous  wastes  are  not  contaminating  your  home, Â

the  Klondike  region,  or  our  planet  is  to  limit  the  purchase  and  use  of  these  products.  If  these  kinds  of  waste  were  WR ÂżQG WKHLU ZD\ LQWR WKH 4XLJOH\ ODQGÂżOO ZLWK UHJXODU 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 SOVA By Rheas Flanagan This week we wrapped up our drawing from the imagination unit in Veronica’s class. One part of the assignment was to draw ourselves as animals. The variety of species we likened ourselves to could rival the ark. Everything from seductive shebunnies to more local animals like bears and dogs to an eagle with a human head and hands instead of talons.

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 difficult for the grader operator to do their job with vehicles in the way and it is also a contravention of the Traffic Bylaw. This year the City will be towing all vehicles left on the side of the road, especially during snow removal season, and all costs will be incurred to the owner. We hope to have everyone’s cooperation on this matter.
