Still bargaining

Three dead in back country accident

Three young Lytton adults are dead and a 16 year old was seriously injured after the group’s pickup truck went off the road and down a steep embankment in the Botanie Valley last Thurs-day.

In the afternoon of June 11, Lytton RCMP received a report of three missing people who were due to return from the Pasulko Lake area where they had been foraging for food. An in-itial search of the area came up empty. The search resumed the following day with assist-ance from the Pemberton Search and Rescue, an RCMP Helicopter from Kamloops, and com-munity members including family members.

A vehicle associated to the missing group was quickly located down an embankment with two women and one man, all in their 20s, lo-cated deceased at the scene. The teenager was found in the truck and had to be extricated.

The investigation into the crash is in the pre-liminary stages and the causal factors are not yet known.

The identities of the deceased are being withheld pending notification of next of kin. All were from the Lytton area.

VICTORIA - “The bargaining teams worked hard through the weekend and progress was made,” said Education Minister Peter Fassbend-er on Tuesday afternoon.

“On Sunday, the British Columbia Pub-lic School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) tabled a comprehensive proposal to help end the stalemate, get kids back in school and cre-ate long-term stability for parents, students and teachers.

“I believe that both parties want this dispute resolved. If the BCTF wants to get a deal done they need to get back to bargaining and put all their cards on the table. While they’ve moved on their wage demands, they have not provided clear answers on what other cost items are still on the table.

“As BCPSEA demonstrated last week and through the weekend, they are ready to bargain 24/7. We want to see an agreement by June 30 so everyone can head into the summer with this dispute behind us and the knowledge the system is on a path to long-term stability.”

Police are investigating after a body was dis-covered in an abandoned vehicle last week.

On June 10 at 2 pm, the Clinton RCMP re-ceived a report of an abandoned vehicle in a rural area outside of town. Upon arrival, police discovered a body inside the partially burned, abandoned vehicle. The circumstances of the death do not appear to be suspicious.

The vehicle was registered to Tony Caron, who was reported missing last week from his Clinton residence. Neither the fire nor the death are deemed as suspcious at this time.

The family of the vehicle’s registered owner has been notified of the discovery.

The Clinton RCMP continue to assist the BC Coroners Service in the investigation.

Wife locked outJune 10 at 11 pm RCMP were

called by a 38 year old Ashcroft man who said that his intoxcated 34 year old wife had broken a basement window after he locked her out of the house be-cause she was throwing things around. Police attended and located the woman, who was co-operative although intoxi-cated. She was excorted to a friend’s house for the evening.

Classic car damagedJune 11 a 65 year old Vancouver

man called to report that on June 7, Graffiti Weekend in Cache Creek, at 6:30 am his 1985 Chev Caprice was struck by a U-Haul vehicle on Hwy 97 near the Chevron. Although driveable, it received considerable front end dam-age. No information had been taken from the other driver.

Tip nets stolen vehiclesJune 11 at 11:30 am a 71 year old

Delta man camping at Juniper Beach called RCMP after seeing a suspi-cious vehicle driving around the prov-incial park. The truck had a trailer with a snowmobile on it. The man told po-lice that he’d heard a report earlier in the day of a stolen snowmobile. The vehicle was located still in the park and after speaking to the 26 year old

Kamloops man and 32 year old Kam-loops woman, it was determined that the 1994 Toyota 4Runner, trailer, snow-mobile and two power generators in the SUV had been stolen earlier from Lo-gan Lake, and possibly more items in the vehicle. The couple were arrested and charged with possession of stolen property. The matter is still under in-vestigation.

Sleepy driverJune 12 just after midnight police

were notified of a possible impaired driver on Hwy 97 heading north from Cache Creek. Clinton RCMP located the 1992 Geo Storm and determined that the 65 year old Nanaimo driver was not impaired but was overly tired. She was escorted to a nearby motel.

Lost iPhoneJune 12 at 2:30 pm a Cache Creek

woman called to report that her hus-band had lost his iPhone some time on June 8 on Hwy 97 between the Bona-parte Reserve and Cache Creek. The phone’s case is florescent orange with camoflage. Anyone finding the phone

can turn it into the Detach-ment.

False accusationJan. 12 at 8:55 pm police

received a complaint from a 60 year old Cache Creek woman who said she had been as-saulted by her boyfriend’s new girlfriend behind the Oasis Ho-tel and almost thrown in the river after an argument about the 51 year old man. She had various scrapes and a sore neck, and was mildly intoxi-cated. Police spoke to the 43 year old Cache Creek woman and the man and determined they were both out of town at the time of the assault. Around the same time the man’s bi-cycle, which was parked be-hind the Oasis, had been tossed into the river. Police are con-sidering charges of mischief against the 60 year old.

Mustang damagedJan. 13 at 4:15 pm a 20 year

old Ashcroft woman reported that her 1996 Ford Mustang had been the subject of a hit and run between 1-4 pm while it was parked on Riverside Dr. The passenger side and mirror were damaged. Anyone with

information is asked to call the police.

Impaired driverJune 14 at 9:40 pm police conducted

a road check by the Ashcroft bridge and stopped a GMC Jimmy. Officers noted a strong odour of liquor coming from the vehicle. The driver had glassy eyes and also smelled of beer. The 35 year old Cache Creek woman admitted to consuming alcohol and Failed a road-side test. She was given a 90 day im-mediate driving prohibition and her truck was impounded.

Up to no goodJune 14 at 10:30 pm police received

a call from a 48 year old Ashcroft man who reported that at least six youths were “up to no good” in the Ashcroft pool park. He could hear screaming and bottles breaking. Police located ap-proximately 10 youths in the park, all sober, playing a game of kick the can. There was no damage and no evidence that they had been in the pool. They were asked to keep the noise down.

Shots heardJune 15 at 12:30 pm police received

a call from a 45 year old Prince George woman who was visiting Ashcroft. She reported hearing gunshots coming from the Hollis Rd. area. Police spoke to residents, one of who said it sounded like fireworks being set off in a nearby field. There were no other complaints.

Money foundJune 16 at 11 am a 64 year old Ash-

croft man turned in an envelope full of cash that he’d found in Ashcroft the day before. The envelope has a name on it. Police are asking the owner to come in and identify it.

Shooting at marmotsJune 16 at 11:30 police received a

complaint that a dark gray Toyota Tun-dra or Tacoma was driving around a field behind Battel Ave. in Ashcroft tak-ing potshots at gophers for the second day in a row. The truck had a canopy and a banged up tailgate. Only part of the license plate was obtained: G**58. Anyone with information about this vehicle is asked to call the RCMP.

Anxious travellerJune 16 at 1:45 pm police received

a call from Greyhound in Cache Creek regarding a passenger who was acting strangely and aggressively. Police lo-cated the 27 year old Surrey man who indicated he was suffering from anx-iety.

THE PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS is well named - don’t get on the wrong side of it.

Patients dying while politicians ditherby Bacchus BaruaSenior health economistThe Fraser InstituteVANCOUVER, BC/ Troy Media/ -

Over the past two decades, the gener-al Canadian attitude toward wait times for medical treatment seems to have evolved into a resigned acceptance of this ostensibly “mild nuisance” in an otherwise excellent system.

It’s time for a reality check.Since 1993, the average wait for

treatment has almost doubled (to 18.2 weeks in 2013), per capita pub-lic healthcare expenditures have in-creased by about 40 per cent (after ad-justing for inflation), and it is becom-ing increasingly apparent that patients are suffering the consequences.

And yet, there is no real indica-tion that politicians intend to introduce meaningful reforms to solve this prob-lem.

It seems we have become comfort-ably numb to this fundamental flaw that is now a defining feature of Can-adian healthcare.

Unfortunately, wait times are not benign inconveniences - especially not when they are as long and ubiquitous as those in Canada. Many patients face physical pain and suffering, mental an-guish, and lost economic productivity (about $1,200 per patient) while wait-ing for treatment in this country.

For example, Statistics Canada found that about one fifth of patients who visited a specialist, and about 11 per cent of those waiting for non-emer-gency surgery, were adversely affect-ed by their wait. Many reported experi-encing worry, stress, anxiety, pain, and difficulties with daily activities.

Protracted wait times may also re-sult in potentially treatable illnesses

and injuries becoming chronic, perma-nent, debilitating conditions. In such circumstances, requiring patients to ac-cept inordinately long waiting times without the opportunity to seek alterna-tive treatment denies them their basic human right to lead healthy lives (as recognized by the Supreme Court in 2005). It is precisely for this reason that Dr. Brian Day, former head of the Can-adian Medical Association, is fighting a court case in British Columbia to al-low private treatment for those patients who have fallen through the cracks of the public system. One of his co-plain-tiffs has already died while waiting for the trial, while another is permanently disabled because of neglect on the pub-lic wait list.

Sadly, their stories are not isolated cases. In a recent study, Nadeem Es-mail, Taylor Jackson and I investigated whether the changes (mostly increas-es) in wait times between 1993 and 2009 had any impact on mortality rates. After controlling for relevant factors (physicians, health expenditures, age, Gross Domestic Product, inequality, and gender), we found that there was, indeed, a statistically significant rela-tionship between wait times and the in-cidents of female deaths.

Specifically, after crunching the numbers we estimated between 25,456 and 63,090 Canadian women may have died as a result of increased wait times during this period. Large as this num-ber is, it doesn’t even begin to quantify the possibility of increased disability and poorer quality of life as a result of protracted wait times.

Clearly, wait times may have ser-ious consequences for some patients. It is inhumane and immoral to force these patients to choose between long

waits in the public system (risking their health and well-being) and leaving their homeland (and families) to seek treatment elsewhere.

Fortunately, the noble goal of uni-versal healthcare can be achieved with-out paying for it with patients’ lives. In fact, the experience of other countries suggests that wait times and single-payer insurance are neither necessary, nor common features of successful uni-versal healthcare systems around the world. Data from the Commonwealth Fund, and studies by Fraser Institute have repeatedly shown that countries like Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ger-many, Japan and Australia ensure uni-versal healthcare for their residents without the long wait times found in Canada.

How do they do it? By encouraging competition between regulated private insurers, requiring patient cost-shar-ing (through co-payments and deduct-ibles with annual limits), and replacing global budgets with activity-based funding for hospitals (so that money follows the patient).

Defenders of Canada’s status quo will likely balk at these suggestions and cling to their dream of government-de-livered universal healthcare - ignor-ing the fact that it simply doesn’t work for many patients. But those who are pragmatic, and truly committed to fix-ing our broken system, should serious-ly consider implementing reforms that seem to have worked in other countries that are equally committed to universal access to healthcare.

--Bacchus Barua is senior health

economist at the Fraser Institute and co-author of The Effect of Wait Times on Mortality in Canada.

I could write this week about the on-going teachers’ strike, or the approval for the Northern Gateway pipeline announced today, but issues like that always require a little time and distance to put together a logical response.

There’s been something on my mind for a long time now, and events of the past two weeks have brought it to the foreground again. That’s the multitude of recording de-vices at events these days. You have to see it to believe it!

Young people view the world on an LCD screen, even when it’s happening less than 50 feet away from them.

It’s nothing new. I’ve noticed it at Graf-fiti Days for the past two or three years - the Smoke Show starts up and one out of four spectators (might be one out of three this year) holds up their hand-held to take videos - either to keep as a memento, but probably to send to friends or post to social media sites. It’s reached the rodeo.

Last weekend, people were staring at their screens when there was nothing hap-pening, and staring at their screens while recording the action when there was some-thing happening.

It used to be cameras, and since cam-eras were pricey, very few people had them. And while personal phones are still pricey, people have more spending cash, and they’ve become a status symbol.

I recall years ago, driving along Hwy 27 with my visiting parents. Hwy 27 stretches between Charlie Lake, just north of Fort St. John, and Chetwynd. In the middle, some-where, there’s Hudson’s Hope and a whole lot of nothing but wilderness. Or that’s how it was 20 years ago.

We stopped the car to let a beaver walk across the highway. It was dragging a branch about four times its size to the wet-lands on the other side, presumably where his home was.

We had a good laugh while it strug-gled across the road bearing its burden. As my husband started the car, my mother ex-claimed that she should have been taking pictures! I thought of it, but sometimes, it’s just nice to relax and watch without a digit-al interface.

Exam students will have buses

Refinery decision a conflict for Premier

The British Columbia Teachers’ Federa-tion, the union representing teachers, has in-formed the school district that starting on Tues-day, June 17 teachers will be commencing a full withdrawal of services, also known as a Phase 3 strike.

Provincial exams scheduled for students in Grades 10, 11 and 12 will proceed as normal during this time. Each school will be open and will have staff to invigilate the exam and pro-vide the support needed for each student. The BCTF has agreed that they will allow students to enter schools to write these exams without disruption.

The Labour Relations Board has ruled that student transportation to provincial exams is an essential service during this strike. As such, buses will be running according to the regularly scheduled bus routes on the days that there are secondary provincial exams scheduled in Gold Trail.

Students who leave school property before or after an exam will not be supervised.

Jeff NagelBlack PressPremier Christy Clark is stepping aside from

any decisions related to new oil refineries af-ter the emergence of a new refinery proposal in-volving her ex-husband.

Mark Marissen has been hired as vice-presi-dent of Pacific Future Energy, which has an-nounced plans to build an oil refinery in Prince Rupert.

“I learned that this proposal was going to become something real last week,” Clark said, adding she then contacted the provincial con-flict-of-interest commissioner for guidance.

Pacific Future Energy is the latest company pursuing the idea of refining bitumen from the Alberta oil sands before it’s loaded onto tankers so there’s less risk to the marine environment waters in the event of a spill.

Victoria businessman David Black, owner of Black Press newspapers, has spearheaded a similar refinery proposal, to be located between Kitimat and Terrace.

Black’s Kitimat Clean plan could use bitu-men coming from the Northern Gateway pipe-line – if it’s built – or else it could aim to build a separate pipeline or use trains carrying oil by rail.

Black continues to seek a $10-billion loan guarantee from the federal government to satis-fy potential international investors.

Pacific Future Energy said it plans a scale-able $10-billion refinery ranging from 200,000 barrels per day up to one million if required.

The company said it’s beginning pre-feas-ibility studies.

She will refer all government deliberations on any refinery proposal to Finance Minister Mike de Jong.

The conflict-of-interest rules for MLAs do not specifically cover spouses, but say MLAs should recuse themselves if a situation is like-ly to lead to a perception they may personally

benefit.NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth called it

the right decision.“It’s important that the premier is held to a

higher standard,” he said.The B.C. Liberals 2013 election platform

backed the concept of Black’s refinery plan and pledged to sup-port its development.

Black said he met last year with Pacif-ic Future’s Mexican backers, who initially wanted to partner with him on the new refin-ery.

But he said they were only interested if they got majority con-trol, something Black rejected as against Canada’s interests and potentially leading to reduced environment-al safeguards.

There have been no further talks on joining forces, he said.

Black said he’s been told by feder-al officials that a loan guarantee from Ot-tawa is possible – but only if B.C. also backs it.

“It comes down to whether the B.C. gov-ernment is keen on championing this kind of project and has money for it.

Long distance cycling began after retirement

Frank Mierau grew up during the dirty 30’s in Sas-katchewan, when there was no time for working out, only for working hard to put food on the table.

He moved to Ashcroft in 1950, built his own house with boards from unused bridges. Years of manual labour in the trucking indus-try kept him in shape right up until his retirement.

When he retired in 1996, he used the $300 he won for a BC safe driving award and bought himself a nice new 18 speed bicycle.

In 1999 he bought him-self a better and faster bi-cycle which enabled him to join the Bike for Bibles cycling ride. This ride was 800km long, touring to vari-ous spots around BC to raise awareness and money to buy bibles for people in third world countries and special events such as bibles for the athletes during the Olym-pics.

Frank has done the Bike for Bibles event every year since then except two. This year’s event will be 770 km long starting in Revel-stoke, and heading south all the way down through Na-kusp to Grand Forks. Then the group will head north through the Okanagan and then back to Revelstoke. This trip would be tough for someone in their 20’s, never mind their 80’s.

Frank also enjoys golf-ing, with an interest in jog-

ging. His passion of sing-ing has helped his lung capacity and his cardio-vascular system as well.

Last year he enlisted into the cycling portion of the seniors games. The seniors were a friendly, yet competi-tive group of people, and it was a lot of fun. He wasn’t sure what to expect, and was delighted to find out it was more laid back than he thought.

This year he will be ra-cing the three cycling events of a time trial, a hill climb and a road race at the 2014 Seniors games in Langley.

Obviously he has put quite a few miles on his bike and his most memorable ride was when they left Canmore heading to Calgary, they had a strong tailwind and his group rode 90 km in only three hours!!

Super cyclist Frank al-ways fuels his workouts with a good breakfast before heading out, eating whole-some homemade bread, and various fruits. He finds Ga-torade essential and easy to digest during the long days pedalling, finishing with a protein shake after his work-out for recov-ery.

His son Doug who also rides bicycles started him drinking the protein shakes. He is inspired by his son Doug and now his grandson, who are both avid

mountain bike riders. Frank is also inspired by some of our own athletes in our little town of Ashcroft, they help him stay motivated.

I really enjoyed talking to Frank about his rides and plans for the future: he re-minds me of myself or any one of my friends that I work out with. He says that when he feels down and tired, he just hops on that bike and goes for a spin. It makes him feel young and re-vived

again.He always finishes up

his rides with a good long stretch to prevent feeling stiff and sore the next day.

Frank’s words to live by: “When you have your health, your life just goes so much better, making things easier to do.”

Frank Mireau and his trusty bike, still going and finding competition to be a whole lot of fun.

Living Well

June • Week 4ARIES - Aries, let your creative side take over this week. Your imagination is ready to run wild, and this burst of creative energy will have long-lasting positive effects.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, though you are known for being a tad stubborn, this week you are open to any and all suggestions. You may surprise a few people by being so open-minded.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, while you may have natural leadership abilities, most of the time you do not want to pull rank. This week you may need to step things up a bit.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, now is a good time to travel, even if it means just a quick jaunt. But if a big vacation is on the horizon, know that you will likely have a smooth trip ahead.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Your powers are magnetic this week, Leo. Others � nd you simply irresistible, which can bode well if you are looking for a romantic partner or want to step things up.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a busy week at work will require lots of cooperation among you and your coworkers. If ever there was a time to summon your leadership abilities, now is the time.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, many things are in disarray and you may need some help getting back to ef� cient living. Download an app to help you track expenses or keep tabs on your responsibilities.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 You are bound to be the center of attention, Scorpio. Get over any shyness early on because you will be spending time with coworkers for most of the week.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 You will do some of your best work at home this week, Sagittarius. Spend ample time getting the house in order. A few days working from home could kickstart plans.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, quickly curb any feelings of boredom by exploring a new hobby. Try taking a new � tness or art class. You’ll have chances to mingle, too.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Put the brakes on impulse buys, Aquarius. This week you may be tempted to spend more money than you have, and that will only lead to long-term � nancial concerns.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, it is time to rebrand yourself. This may start with a mini-makeover or more signi� cant changes to your life and career.

School District #74(Gold Trail)is offering:


HOG runs and barbecues take over Clinton

Members of the Kamloops Harley Owner’s Association (HOG) stop at a Clinton checkpoint during their annual Poker Run. Close to 700 riders passed through the checkstop on their way to Lone Butte and Little Fort before heading back to Kamloops. The Poker Run raises money for Muscular Dystrophy.

Kamloops H.O.G.s in ClintonYou would be forgiven if you

thought Clinton was being over run on Saturday, June 14.

The Kamloops Chapter of the Har-ley Owners Group was holding their 26th Annual Poker Run and one of the checkpoints was in Clinton.

The rain, heavy at times did little to dampen the spirits of these determined participants who travelled from Kam-loops to checkpoints in Clinton, Lone Butte and Little Fort before returning to Kamloops.

The checkpoint in Clinton was behind the Cariboo Lodge and was staffed by members of the Clinton Vol-

unteer Fire Department. They estimate that close to 700 people passed through the checkpoint.

The roar of Harleys lasted through-out the entire morning as group after group of bikes headed north. Hopefully they all arrived safe, if somewhat damp

to the final stop back in Kam-loops.

Arrival of SummerAccording to the calendar,

summer arrives with the Sum-mer Solstice on June 21. We can only hope that the summer-like weather arrives with it.

This past week has felt like we were getting our April showers (which we did not have in April this year) so does that mean we will now get

some May weather?Who knows? At least everything is

nice and green and the risk of wildfires is low. So it’s not all bad.

Legion EventsThe Clinton Legion, Branch 194, is

holding a Steak BBQ and Karaoke on June 20 at the Legion. Members and

non-members are wel-come to attend.

On June 24 the Le-gion is hosting a free Community BBQ also at the Legion at 6 p.m. Information about the Legion will be avail-able for anyone con-sidering signing up for membership.

Council MeetingsThe regular meet-

ings of Council are held on the second and fourth Wednes-day of each month be-ginning at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers.

Attending meet-ings is a good way to see your elect-ed officials in action. And being a munici-pal election year, it is also a good way for anyone thinking of running for office to see how a municipal council functions.

Agendas and min-utes of council meet-ings are posted at www.village.clinton.bc.ca

Thompson Valley Funeral Home Ashcroft entrusted with arrangements.

Gyoba, Edward Yoshinori

In loving memory of George BennaThe last words you spoke,

I did not hear You were so sick and I was

filled with fearAfter you left us,I pondered away

What did I miss that you were trying to say?

It was some time later that it became clear

Those four last wrds that I’ll always hear

That through your pain, you thought to ask

Of my days fishing that had just gone past

Dear dad in my heart you’ll always be

I take you fishing always with me

I’ll miss you forever and that’s for sure

I wish I could tell you how the minnows were.

We miss you so much.Love .....your family.


Barkerville Historic Town’s renowned The-atre Royal opens its 2014 season with a gala event and dance party on June 21.

The event begins with the annual gener-al meeting of the Barkerville Heritage Trust at 11 a.m. and ends with a boot-stomping shindig from 9 p.m. onwards at the House Hotel Saloon.

Between 4 and 7 p.m., the cast and crew of Newman & Wright Theatre Company will man-age to squeeze in the premieres of two brand-new musical shows, as well as raise some much-appreciated funds in a hilarious charity auction in support of their authentic theatrical endeav-ours.

“Rehearsals are over, and once again they’ve been well worth the effort,” says Theatre Royal producer Richard Wright.

“We are very excited to present The Return of Lafont & Ward’s Musical Revue, and our newest musical drama, Campfires & Trails: the Captain Jack Crawford Story.”

Every summer season since Barkerville was first declared a provincial heritage site more than 50 years ago, a passionate troupe of actors, singers, dancers and musicians assemble in the historic town to re‐create the joy and creativity of the original Theatre Royal, which was built in 1868 to provide much-needed respite to gen-erations of Cariboo miners, businesspeople, and families throughout the late-19th and early-20th centuries.

“Barkerville has always been fortunate to at-tract creative and talented people from all over the world who come together each season to help us celebrate the opening of the Theatre Royal,” says James Douglas, Barkerville’s man-ager of Visitor Experiences.

“The Barkerville Heritage Trust is proud to support this tradition, and we are thankful to those members of our local and provincial gov-ernments, businesses, and the community at large who support us year after year.”

GOLDEN COUNTRYBARBARA RODEN

What’s in a name? - Who is that rock named after? - Pt. 1

An 1885 photograph of Savona, showing the original site of the community on the north side of the lake.

It’s summer (almost), which for a lot of people means it’s time to take to the road and do some exploring. So for the next few weeks this column is going to hit the road in a � gurative sense, and look at what’s behind the names of some of the places in our area. We take these names for granted, but the stories of how they came to be, or evolved over the years, are often fascinating.

Where to begin? We’ll go east, I think, to a little place called Van Horne. You don’t know where that is? I don’t blame you. We know the village today as Savona, but for a very short time after the Can-adian Paci� c Railway came through in 1883 it was called Van Horne (or Port Van Horne), after William Cornelius Van Horne, who at the time was gen-eral manager of the CPR. Van Horne was apparently keen to have a spot on his railway named after him, but not so keen that a small and rather out of the way spot had been chosen.

It was originally named after one of the � rst settlers in the area, François Saveneux. He was born in Corsica, France and at some point emigrated to Canada, where he worked for the Hud-son’s Bay Company. By 1858, how-ever, he realized there was enough traf-� c over the Fur Brigade Trail through the Interior to make some way of crossing the Thompson River at the foot of Kamloops Lake a necessity. He built a small cable ferry on the north side of the river, and operated an HBC wharf and warehouse. The settlement attracted more people to live there, and

the community became known after the man who had founded it, although Savenuex’s surname became angli-

cized in the process. Sav-ona’s, or Savona’s Ferry, was the name the com-munity went by in its earliest days, although the “Ferry” was eventu-ally dropped, and it be-came simply Savona; the name it reverted to when Van Horne (the man) de-cided not to honour Van Horne (the place) with his surname any longer.

Heading west from Savona on Hwy. 1 we dip down to cross a small river which, on our right, meanders through

a pleasant-looking bit of grassland. Ah, there’s a sign by the bridge giving the river’s name; it’s sure to be something pleasant, in keeping with the loveliness of the scene. Let’s see, it’s called . . . Deadman River?

Indeed it is; it’s also called Dead-man’s River, Deadman Creek, and Deadman’s Creek. So while there seems to be some disagreement over whether it’s a river or a creek, there’s no argument about the dead man. But who was he?

He was a North West Company employee named Pierre Chivrette (or Charette). (As an aside, I should men-tion that discrepancies in spelling and nomenclature will be a regular feature in this series; written records from 100 or 200 years ago are often sketchy at best, made in a hurry by men working from memory, and often a victim of faulty pronunciation and/or misspelled source material.) In 1817 he and a companion were travelling through the area and got into an argument about the best site to make camp, with the result that Charette (or Chivrette)

was killed by his com-panion by the river (or creek) that commemor-ates him. It took some time, though, before Deadman was settled on. In 1827 it was mapped as the Chivrette River, and subsequent names in-cluded Knife River (pre-sumably after the murder weapon), Dead River, Ri-vière de Défunt (from the French word for late, or dead), and Defeant River (presumably a misspell-ing of Défunt). Next time you drive over the creek (or river), spare a thought for the sad fate of the man who inspired its (eventual) name.

Just past the bridge a road to the right leads to Vidette Lake. The name comes to us courtesy of the French-Canadiens who worked for the fur-trading companies active in the area, possibly even from Pierre Chivrette/Charette. In French the word vidette means an outpost or mounted sentry, and the French-speaking fur company men used it to indicate the man who guarded the horses when they made camp. A lake would be a logical place for such a camp to be established, so Vidette Lake was probably an import-ant stopping place on the Fur Brigade Trail.

We continue west, and a sign on our left indicates the turnoff to Wal-hachin. The rise and tragic fall and re-birth of Walhachin is a subject I will probably return to in future, but for now we are looking at the name only; and once more we � nd confusion and variant spellings. The site was estab-lished, in 1908, on the land of the Pen-nie Ranch, which had been bought by a consortium seeking to create an or-chard settlement along the Thomp-

son River. The ranch already boasted a train station with the name “Pennie’s”, but the grand plans for the new com-munity demanded a less prosaic name, and Walhassen was chosen. It was the Nlaka’pamux name for the site, and the advertising literature for the new town chose to translate it as “bountiful valley”, although the true meaning (ac-cording to the Nlaka’pamux people) was really “land of round rocks”.

It is, of course, dif� cult to believe that advertisers would purposely make such a mistake, possibly with the in-tention of misleading would-be set-tlers and investors; but for some rea-son the town’s name was changed, the following year, to the similar-sound-ing Walhachin. A subsequent advertis-ing brochure from the company own-ing the area said that this name was “an Indian word signifying an abun-dance of food products of the earth”. The Nlaka’pamux people have, as far as we can tell, stayed silent regarding the truth (or not) of this statement.

Next time: on to Cache Creek, and then north (or south, depending on which way the wind blows).
