Giza said the drop in price'drew an additional 800 people to the festival within three hours. “We were disappointed in the crowd but we're still going about completing plans for the September battle of the band,” Giza said i He admitted the weekend festival was an “expensive Jesson”—but said it was a lesson well learned. Giza says the upcoming battle of the bands will see a few changes as a result of this first experiment. “We're going to make arrangements to sell day. passes only,” Giza said. “Thirty dollars was probably too much money.” “al seid fot therbattie ofthe bands will be charged Giza also blamed the poor turnout for the weekend festival on the fact that Doug and the Slugs had just recently played concerts in Creston, Sparwood, Revelstoke and Kelowna.

All 11 were handed 60-day eviction notices: by the Ministry of Lands, Parks and Housing. But more than a year later five of the'11 boathouses still remain anchored at Tulip Creek and it looks like the boathouses may not have to move far after all. CASNEWS UPDATE Ben Froebel, Nelson district lands manager, said in an interview that his departmient is still in the process of ving the boath from Tulip Creek, which is part of a recreational reserve. Froebel said about three or four of the residents have made application for moorage at another site about, 190. metres down the lake from Tulip Creek — a location outside the reserve. 8 He said if the application is approved, a tenure would be issued to the residents’. Froebel explained that private residents’ use of the reserve is interferring with the public's use. Tulip Creek is noted, pointing to the blackened ruins of the carport. As well, Pakula said, “One kid kicked the door (to the house) in and hollered” just in case anyone was caught inside.

Meadowlark Lane, Dawson breathed a sigh of relief that she had decided to pay off the insurance. $ Dawson was camping in the New Denver-Silverton - area when the fire occurred, and’ returned on the weekend to find only the charred remains of her:hotise.

The fire broke out about 10 a.m. Monday in an apartment that had just’ been rented by prospective newlyweds. Brian Zaporozan and Joy Eaton plan to marry this weekend and had been moving possessions, into the that miraculously escaped the flames and an old cast iron wood stove. “It (the stove) was really grungy, but we put oven cleaner on it and it looks really good,” she said. - Ald. Bob Pakula, who as chairman of the protective services committee is acting on behalf of vacationing fire chief Bob Mann, said the fire broke out shortly before 3:30 a.m. Saturday. He said youths returning home from a party spotted the blaze and put in a call to the volunter fire department. about 8:35 a.m. Two pumper trucks and 18 - 20 firemen responded to the call and fought the stubborn blaze for 8'/ hours, Pakula said. i However, firemen were unable to save the house. ~ “It was gone when we got here,” Pakula explained. He said the first firemen on the scene reported that falems were shooting 20-feet out of the roof. c Pakula had words of praise for the youths who turned in the call. He said that after reporting the fire, the youths returned to the house and saved Dawson's car pal at the time of the fire. ‘_ ' Fire department spokesman Theron Isfeld said the fire began when West Kootenay Power and Light Co. turned on the power to the apartment. “The stove happened to be on and they (the couple) had stuff piled on top of it,” said Isfeld. 4 “It scored the walls inside and out,” added Dick Dunlop, who spotted the fire and reported it to the fire department. © Dunlop, who is also a volunteer firefighter, saw the enon his way past the building in which he also happens to live. . “I was going down to Dairyland . . . when I came around the corner I saw the smoke...

Froebel also noted that there are no plans for renovations to the land, but said there are plans to have the area cleaned up. A meeting was held about two months ago between boathouse residents and Nelson district lands inspector John Perdue to negotiate use of the property below Tulip Creek. : But the residents have not-heard back from the govern- ment yet, according to boathouse owner Les Godberson. Godberson said the area under negotiation is not the group's number one choice but they feel satisfied with what the government has offered them. Meanwhile, Froebel, also noted that removing the re- sidents from Tulip Creek is turning out to be a lengthy process. - Trespass notices were posted on the boathouses and float homes more than a year ago. Frobel said the ministry now must follow up on the notices by going back to Tulip Creek and finding out which ones are still there. The ministry will then proceed to its next step under the Trespass Act, which is to advise the residents that the government can seize the improvements. Froebel said a follow-up will be done within the next couple of weeks, Meanwhile, former Tulip Creek resident, Shirley She said in an interview that she was told by a tigate and d “it was two doors down from me.” He felt the door, which was “hot as could be” but didn’t open it. “I just went back and phoned the fire department then.

Satisfied where she is at a local marina, Anderson said she questions whether the Lands Act — which states that the boathouses are on Crown Land without lawful authority — is “a law or a threat”. “The can send th ig letters and tell you it is a rule and law,” she said. “They can send you an aetual section, and doesn’t mean a damn thing.” rights clause in Doug and the Slugs contract which would have prevented the band from playing within a territorial: limit for 80 days prior to the Salmo concert.
