The great Cariboo Gold Rush
T
he great Cariboo gold rush is often perceived to be an independent and lengthy event, where thousands of gold seekers came into the country and became incredibly rich. In fact, very little of that is true. Here’s what happened: The gold rush was a long, protracted happening which began in California in 1848. However, in each area it touched, the gold was quickly gathered, and the prospectors moved on, ever northward, in search of the big strike. Thus they moved from creek to creek, checking for evidence of gold. These were placer miners, first using gold pans to check out the gravel, and then, if “colour” was found, setting up sluice boxes, rockers, and flumes to wash the gold out of the gravel. By 1858 these gold seekers had started up the Fraser River, where they were working on the many sand and gravel bars when the water was low. But gold had

been discovered long before that by the First Nations people who had found many creeks and rivers in the Interior where “yellow rocks” could be seen in the gravel. Records show that Chief Trader, Donald McLean of the Hudson’s Bay Company at Fort Kamloops was buying gold from the local people as early as 1852. By 1857, many of the Nicomen Band were recovering gold nuggets and trading it to the HBC. By February 1858, the Fort Kamloops HBC had over 800 ounces of gold. This was a dilemma for the company. They knew that the promise of gold would bring a hoard of would be miners into the area, and the fun trade would be ruined. But gold was gold, so it was sent off to San Francisco to be mined. Of course,
word got out and on April 25, 1858 the paddlewheel steamer Commodore docked at Victoria with 450 eager gold seekers aboard. At the time the white population of Victoria was just 400. thus began the gold rush of 1858. Within the next eight months more than 30,000 more miners flocked into the colony of New Caledonia. Meanwhile, mass gold mining had begun on the sand bars of the Fraser River. A group of men camped on one of the bars north of Hope. One of the men noticed particles of gold in the moss that was growing on the rocks. He washed a pan of the moss and found many flakes of gold. The rest of the party began to pan the gravel and found even more gold. The bar was named Hill’s Bar after the man who first noticed the gold. Hill’s

Bar would ultimately yield $2 million in gold. Even today, when you travel through the Fraser Canyon names like Boston Bar, China Bar, Kanaka Bar, Sailor’s Bar and Emory’s Bar are reminders of the mad dash to find gold along the Fraser River in 1858. By 1859, a group of men, consisting of Peter Dunlevy, Thomas Manifee, Tom Moffatt, Jim Sellers, Ira Crow, and John MacLean had reached the mouth of the Chilcotin River. There they had made camp and were panning the gravel, finding traces of gold. A young native lad suddenly appeared and asked for food. He was a runner and guide for the HBC, and was from the Fort Kamloops area. The boy stayed for a couple of days and watched the men work. On the second day, he told them that he knew of a place where “the gold is round and heavier” than that which Dunlevy and his group were panning. That place was on a small river northwest of Lac La Hache. The men arranged to meet the runner in a fortnight (14 days) on the HBC fur brigade trail at the southeast end of Lac La Hache. Two weeks later, the six gold seekers were at the appointed meeting place. Sure enough, the native lad showed up. He told them that he couldn’t take them to the river where the gold was, but he had brought along his cousin to take them there. The men travelled overland past what are now called Eagle Lake, McIntosh Lake, Moffatt Lake, and then down Moffatt Creek to the Horsefly River. There they found coarse gold nuggets the size
of wheat and larger. It was the middle of June, 1859. Within a few hours, another group of men arrived in the area. When gold is found word travels fast! Although much gold was found in the Horsefly River, the gold seekers continued to search for more, pushing further north, from one stream to the next. By 1860 they were at Quesnelle Forks, where the Cariboo and Quesnel Rivers join, and later that year, they had moved up river to Keithley Creek. In 1861 they had moved up over Yank’s Peak to Antler Creek, Lightning Creek and Barkerville. The great Cariboo gold rush was in full swing! But, by 1864, it was all but over. All the creeks, streams and rivers, as well as the lands around them had been staked. The placer miners had moved on, looking for other gold bearing areas. The rush moved further north, to the Omineca area, then even further, culminating in the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. The truth is that for any particular region, like the Cariboo, the gold rush lasted only a short time two or three years at the most before the gold was cleaned out, except for the hard rock underground miners which remained. Thousands and tens of thousands of gold seekers flooded the areas, but less than one in twenty actually struck it rich. Many returned home empty handed, but a few stayed on the open up our province and to establish the roots which grew and blossomed into the B.C. we know today. Next Time: The Packers

The King and Queen of the Williams Lake Stampede Angie Mindus SMART 55 With a past steeped in rodeo and ranching traditions, it’s no wonder Fred and Paddie Thomas are the reigning King and Queen of the Williams Lake Stampede. Well okay, maybe they’re not officially the “king and queen,” but with a lifetime of Stampedes under their cowboy belts, (including the last twenty years as President of the Stampede Association for Fred) the two just as well be. “We love it,” says Paddy from behind the Stampede office counter of the annual rodeo, where she and a core group of volunteers work countless hours to make the Stampede happen. “When you’re raised with it, it’s a part of you. I’ve been coming (to the Stampede) forever.” Paddy is the oldest of three siblings born to well known cowboy and former Alkali Lake Ranch manager Bill Twan. Bill was working as a young ranch hand when he met Paddy’s mom, Margaret Flockheart, who was from Scotland and came to the area to work as a nanny at Alkali Lake Ranch. The couple worked the ranch their whole lives and raised their children there; Paddy Thomas, Bucky Larden and Bronc Twan. The siblings never strayed too far from home. Paddy and Bucky are neighbours in Chimney Valley while Bronc and his wife Liz (a well known rodeo and ranching photojournalist) have carried on the family tradition of managing Alkali Lake Ranch. Paddy says she still remembers when her
dad competed as a bronc rider and roman racer at the Williams Lake Stampede, back in the day when families came in by wagon and fields of tents popped up where there is now the grandstand and back parking lot. “It was really neat. And racing was a big part of it back then.” As a young man, Fred had big dreams of his own but they didn’t involve the cowboy lifestyle before he met Paddy. “My ambition in life was to be a professional hockey player,” recalls Fred, who instead played hockey for the Stampeders and was introduced to team roping at the Alkali Lake Ranch by Paddy and her family. “It was something I enjoyed,” Fred said of learning roping. “It’s more of an individual sport, it’s you against a stop watch. It was kind of addictive, a neat thing to do.” Fred made a name for himself as a competitive roper and also worked for more than thirty years at Telus while Paddy worked at court registry. He and Paddy have been married 48 years now and have raised two sons, Owen and Brad, who also appreciate hockey and competitive roping. And though they are both retired, one could hardly tell, considering the two work around the clock as volunteers for the Stampede Association. “The Stampede is not just a four-day operation,” Fred says of the year-round commitment to putting on the event. But he loves the work. “There are a lot of great people here. I get to meet and work with

people from all walks of life,” Fred says of the rewards of volunteering with the Stampede. “My philosophy is if you’re not having fun, don’t be here.” In the months leading up to Stampede, work is so demanding Fred doesn’t even have time to go fishing, but he refuses to give up his golf. “Come hell or high water, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 o’clock I’m golfing.” In his time as Association president, Fred says he has achieved his own personal goals of
Working at the Stampede is a family affair for Paddy Thomas and her husband Fred, the current Williams Lake Stampede Association President. The couple's grandson Colton worked cleaning up ticket area and Let R Buck Saloon recently before the crowds arrived for the weekend. seeing rodeo attendance surpass 15,000 fans and making improvements to the Stampede Grounds every year. The couple admit though, they are eyeing up the possibility of reducing their roles in the Stampede. “Maybe it’s time for someone younger to take it on,” Fred said of the demanding role of Stampede President. “We’re thinking about it.” But in the meantime the two will continue to enjoy the rodeo, and all of their friends and family who help them celebrate the tradition every year.

Mountain biking offers adrenaline rush Angie Mindus SMART 55 When he and his family moved from South Africa to Canada a decade ago, outdoor enthusiast Charles Newsberry and his wife Melissa traded in their surf boards and sail boats for skis
and a pair of mountain bikes. “Melissa and I have always done outdoors stuff,” Charles says of his attraction to the adrenaline pumping sport of mountain biking. “The first thing we did
when we moved to Canada was take up (downhill) skiing, then we heard about mountain biking.” So, at least a couple times a week for the last decade Charles has hit the local trails and mountain biking festivals to challenge himself with the sport. “It gets you out in nature. That’s what really drew me to it,” he said. That, and the thrill that biking up and down mountains, over roots and rocks, can bring. “We’ve always done things that give us a little bit of an adrenaline kick. It’s what keeps me sane.” Charles, who is the human resources manager at the Williams Lake and District Credit Union, says he and Melissa plan to keep biking “as long as we can” and says there’s no better place to do so than just out their back door on the trails around Williams Lake.

Returning to his home after the war, John continued his cowboy career. He loved the cowboy way of life, riding the open range. He worked on many of the big ranches in the Cariboo Chilcotin areas including the Gang Ranch and the Circle S. His cowboy skills did not go un-noticed and soon John was hired as general manager at Chilco Ranch and was later manager of the River Ranch. John was a mentor to many youngsters and helped them with their horses and also helped with 4-H. He was an active member in the BC Cattlemen’s Association and worked at the Williams Lake Stock Yards for several years. Although he didn’t compete in rodeo, John was always ready to help with repairs and maintenance of the Williams Lake stampede grounds. He was dedicated to his children and was always there with encouragement and help. Two of John’s sons, Mike and David ride in rough stock events in the rodeo. John worked for a brief period in Alberta and returned to work at the Gang Ranch until his retirement. When he was ready to retire, John settled at Riske Creek where he kept a few saddle horses.

He has been called ‘a one-of-a-kind’ cowboy, perhaps born 100 years too late, but in these modern times, makes the best of riding, roping and telling stories of the ol’ days. Archie Williams, well known and respected rodeo competitor, has never lived very far from his roots. He was born and raised on the Bonaparte Reserve at Cache Creek in 1944. He spent a lot of working and riding his uncle Dave Perry who encouraged him to pursue a career in rodeo. Dave and Joan Perry had a ranch at Cache Creek and were well known rodeo competitors and stock contractors. Archie began competing at the age of 14 and still competes today, well into his late 60s. He is a horseman and competed mostly in timed events such as calf roping, cow penning, barrel racing and team roping. He tried steer wrestling and spent many years riding as a pick-up man in the bucking events. In 1974, Archie made history as the first pickup man for the CNFR chosen by the cowboys themselves. From that time on he was sure to be chosen every time he submitted his name as a
candidate. Team roping is Archie’s favourite competition. Twice he attended Camarillo Team Roping Schools just so he could get it right. He won his first team roping championship with partner Herb Reeder and over the years has roped with several cowboys. Archie is a five-time BC Team Roping Association champion. His roping partner for over 15 years was his good friend Fred Stevenson. He often partnered with the late Diane White and Doug White and more recently with his son Neal. Today Archie is still roping but now his partners are his grandsons, each of them taking turns throughout the rodeo circuit. His granddaughters are learning to rope and will soon be competing with their grandfather. Archie spends a lot of time with his grandchildren and whenever he is babysitting he takes them out riding in the arena or somewhere in the mountains and teaching them the cowboy ways. Archie was chosen by the BC Rodeo Association ‘Rodeo Person of the Year’in 2010. LARRY RAMSTAD 2013 BC COWBOY HALL OF FAME WORKING COWBOY/HORSEMAN
Larry Ramstad, legendary manager of the
million-plus acre Gang Ranch since 1990, has always made his living horseback around cows. He has worked on ranches with horses and cattle all his life. Larry was raised on the family farm in Valleyview, Alberta and after graduating from agricultural college came to the Nicola Valley to work on the Guichon Ranch. Ramstad spent one year working on remote ranches in New Zealand and Australia before returning to British Columbia. Back again, in the Nicola Valley, Larry cowboyed at Quilchena Cattle Co. under experienced cow boss Ken Knapp, who taught him well. During his time working there, Larry met Beverly Twan and they were married in 1969. Beverly was well used to ranch life as she had grown up at Quilchena and was managing the ranch store at the time she and Larry met. They have two children, Larry Dean and Lori and two granddaughters, Braidyn and Courtney. After six years at Quilchena, the family moved to the Chilcotin and Larry worked on the Cotton Ranch at Riske Creek. He was the cow boss there for three years. Another ranch in the area, the River Ranch, had been sold to people from See HALL OF FAME on Page 7

You can follow these prevention tips to protect yourself from heatrelated stress: Drink cool, nonalcoholic beverages. Rest. Take a cool show-
er, bath, or sponge bath. If possible, seek an air-conditioned environment. Wear lightweight clothing. If possible, remain indoors in the heat of the day. Do not engage in strenuous activities. What You Can Do to Help Protect Elderly Relatives and Neighbors
If you have elderly relatives or neighbors, you can help them protect themselves from heat-related stress: Visit older adults at risk at least twice a day and watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Encourage them to increase their fluid intake by drinking cool, nonalcoholic beverages regardless of their activity level. Warning: If their doctor generally
limits the amount of fluid they drink or they are on water pills, they will need to ask their doctor how much they should drink while the weather is hot. Take them to airconditioned locations if they have transportation problems. What You Can Do for Someone With Heat Stress
If you see any signs of severe heat stress, you may be dealing with a life-threatening emergency. Have someone call for immediate medical assistance while you begin cooling the affected person. Do the following: Get the person to a shady area

To date there have been three human cases of WNv acquired in our province - all of which have been in the Okanagan. Last year, several parts of the Canada and the U.S. saw significant increases in West Nile virus activity. “We would like to remind residents to take steps both here at
home and when travelling to avoid mosquito bites this summer,” said Jennifer Jeyes, Communicable Disease Specialist with Interior Health. “While the risk of becoming seriously ill from WNv infection is low for many people, it is higher for some such as the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. It is important to remember there
are preventative steps that everyone can take in order to reduce the risk of infection.” Jeyes offers the following tips: Use mosquito repellent. Wear protective clothing. Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn. Install screens on windows. Prevent mosquito breeding around your home. B.C. and Interior Health are on the watch for West Nile

mitted. The Ramstads toughed it out and worked hard over the years to improve the livestock and ranch until it was a successful operation. All of the money generated by the ranch goes back into improvements, employee’s wages and goods and services from local suppliers, adding to the economy of the area. Larry and Bev have been on the ranch for over two decades now, longer than any other owner or manager. Larry is well liked by his peers and has a reputation of being very honest and respectful in his dealings with other people. For many years Larry has had Ray Hunt put
on horsemanship and colt starting clinics at the ranch to improve the cowboys skills and the horses. Larry is himself, an expert horseman. Larry is an avid supporter of ranch rodeo and Gang Ranch cowboys are regular competitors. He was recently honoured at the Nanton rodeo in Alberta for upholding the western tradition and cowboy lifestyle as all the cattle work on the Gang Ranch is done on horseback. Larry Ramstad is a cattleman, horseman and ‘cowboy for all seasons’. He is most deserving of a place in the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Italy. Larry was hired by former owner Bob Lee to manage the ranch for the new absentee owners. The ranch was badly run down, but with a lot of hard work and good management, Ramstad turned it into a successful operation in two years time. Unassuming, levelheaded, level-speaking Larry soon gained a reputation as an excellent ranch manager. Guy Rose, the owner of Quilchena, wanted Larry back to manage the ranch and try to turn it around. He got the job done in short order and stayed on as manager at Quilchena for twelve years. From Quilchena,
Larry went to Gang Ranch on the south west side of the Fraser River. The new owner, Sheik Ibraham Afandi of Saudi Arabia advertised for a manager and of the 98 applicants for the position, Larry was chosen. The ranch had passed through many owners and managers in the previous years and was in a sorry state. Corrals, buildings and irrigation systems were in disrepair. The hay grounds needed attention and the cowherd was in bad shape. Larry knew it would be a difficult job but he first hired cowboys and a ranch crew and got to work improving the cattle’s welfare and did other ranch improvements when time per-

A battery is a battery is a battery- correct? Not for hearing aids! By Lindsay Satchell So you have decided to get hearing aids and with the help of your competent hearing health care provider, you have decided on a style. That’s great! But just like your car or truck needs, oil changes and maintenance and your horse needs shoeing, a hearing aid needs care and maintenance to provide you with quality of life improvements for hearing.
One of the largest costs associated with hearing aids is battery use. There are basically four sizes of hearing aid batteries ranging from the smallest (size # 10- with 2-4 Days of life) to the largest # 675 with approx. 21 days of life. If you have small ear canals and are getting a small CIC (completely in the canal) aid you may have no choice except to get the smaller battery.
You should keep in mind that this will increase your yearly costs with aids and can be somewhat annoying since these batteries require frequent changes. You can save yourself money by opening the hearing aid battery doors at night and keeping your hearing aids free from moisture which increases battery use, by opting to purchase a hearing aid drier ranging in price

from $22 for a basic jar option to $200 for a sterilizer/ drier combo. A very easy to use and functional electric drier with virtually no maintenance can be purchased for under $100.00. Some companies are also offering rechargeable batteries and recharging units which can also save money. Hearing aid batteries may look like watch batteries but their chemical makeup is far different. They are called Zinc-Air and come with a small tap covering tiny air holes on the battery. Once this tab is pulled and air inters the battery, the battery is draining. Even if the tab is put back over the holes quickly, the battery is still draining and will die so never
Lindsay Satchell remove the tab until you are ready to use the battery right away! This is why a hearing aid may have a live battery when last used but the battery will be inoperative when next inserted into the ear.

dimmer as it weakens until the flashlight no longer works, hearing aid batteries operate at 100% and then generally go down close to zero power very quickly! Here are a few quick tips related to hearing aid batteries If you are not planning on using your hearing aids for an extended period of time remove the batteries completely from hearing aids To protect hearing aid batteries from discharging, keep them away from metal objects such as coins and keys Avoid storing hear-
ing aid batteries in extreme temperatures (in car glove boxes or freezer). Batteries should be stored at room temperatures out of direct sunlight Wash your hands before changing your batteries as dirt and oils will contaminate the battery and may damage your hearing aid Remove dead batteries from hearing aids immediately as they can swell, begin to corrode and become difficult to remove from aid or damage aid electronics Match the (+) of the battery to the (+) of the aid door Keep batteries safely out of the reach of children and pets and away from medications to reduce the risk of accidentally swallowing of batteries Always carry spare batteries to replace them as needed. With a little care you can get the most out of your hearing aid batteries and your hearing aids and you can experience a quality of life improvement which only hearing aid can provide!

Enjoying the benefits of the Cariboo sun Cameron Johnston, Pastor and Lifestyle Consultant Everyone enjoys sunshine and we look forward to summer when the sun has more heat and improves our moods. Today, the benefits of sunshine is often overshadowed and not fully appreciated because of fears that are both real and
imagined. It is well known that too much exposure to direct sunlight especially in the middle of the day without proper protection does put us at risk of sunburn which damages skin cells and blood vessels. Repeated sun damage causes the skin to look dry, wrinkled, discolored, and leath-
ery which can increase the risk of developing skin cancer. These dangers can largely be avoided when sunbathing or working out in the sun for long periods by use of good sunscreen protection or wearing proper clothing. However, one could get the impression, mainly from advertising that every
Win Gooding Member of the O.A.P.O. Branch 93 Senior Activity Centre Summer certainly came in with a royal bang this year. Through a more terrifying experience of thunder, lightening and torrential downpour of hail and rain. It sure did a number of flattening my flowers and the local gardens in the area. Let's hope that July will bring us some relief and sunshine before summer is over. Seniors and persons interested in the B.C. Old Age Pensioners Convention in the Princeton/ Similkameen Branch of the OAPO on June 11-13 was very well attend with 12 B.C. OAPO board members, 40 delegates and 32 non-voting visitors. Jennifer Coleman was selected as President for 2 years as well as Betty Bolton, Secretary and Marg Seward on Finance. Keynote speakers on Tuesday, Alice Edge, Member of Council
of Senior Citizens Organisation COSCO, spoke on Addiction of Seniors regarding abuse of alcohol and misuse of prescription drugs and gambling addiction and treatment of these abuses. A workshop was held later. On Wednesday speaker Sylvia Phifer of COSCO gave workshops on Pensions, Tax Options and Involuntary Separation of Seniors. A form ISO-1811 for involuntary separation is available at the local Service Canada office. In the afternoon guest speaker, Dr. Mary Ann Murphy from the Gerontology Department of University of B.C. She empathized how important it is to have well trained nurses taking care of the aging population in our hospitals and care facilities. Each year our local OAPO Branch 93 provides a bursary to a local student taking training in the field of Gerontology Nursing. Next year the local branch of the OAPO Branch 93 will host the
BC OAP Convention in June 2014. In 2014 the local OAPO Branch 93 will celebrate its 40th year. This years convention in Princeton/ Similkameen was great and our delegates came away with a letter of understanding of how important it is to attend these conventions and represent our OAPO Branch 93 for our local community as a whole. There will be no monthly meetings for the OAPO Branch 93 in July and August. The next meeting will be on Thursday September 12, at 2pm at the Seniors Centre. New members are always welcome to attend so hope to see some new faces at the September meeting. Please note that the Seniors Centre will be closed for 2 weeks in mid-August. The volunteers need a much deserved rest. Until next time remember; our lives begin to end when we remain silent on issues that really matter. Martin Luther King.

Deadline for our July edition: July 25, 2013
exposure to the sun is dangerous and a person could conclude that it is best to never have exposure to the sun. In reality, moderate exposure is safe and very beneficial to good health. Dr. Oz recently encouraged his television viewers to sit out in the sun for 15 minutes a day without sunscreen in order to receive the benefits of sun exposure. Researchers and doctors are now beginning to appreciate some of the ways that the sun
can actually be good for you. It is unlikely that 30 to 60 minutes a day would be harmful and would bring more benefits than risks. Here are a few reasons why getting out in the sun is good for you. Exposure to sunshine helps you get an adequate supply of Vitamin D which promotes bone health, boosts immune function, reduces inflammation, improves neuro-muscular function and even protects against some forms of
cancer. Sun exposure helps you produce more serotonin, endorphins, and melatonin in your brain. These natural chemicals are linked with feeling good and helping you sleep better. Experts have also found that the sun helps you produce more white blood cells, which enhances immunity and more red blood cells which means more oxygen in your blood, thus more energy.
Sunlight, a natural antiseptic, actually kills viruses, bacteria, molds, yeast and fungi that may be found on your skin or in our homes. So open up the windows and let the sunshine in and disinfect your home. Like all natural health resources sun exposure in moderation is very beneficial. Use good judgment and balance and get out this summer, fall, winter, spring and enjoy some good Cariboo sunshine every day you can.
