Editor's note: The Castlegar

Festivals Society, in conjunction
the City of Castlegar and

Castlegar Savings Credit Union,
has created the Rivers brothers as
the theme event of Sunfest 89
Pioneer Days. The six chapters of
the Rivers brothers story contain
clues to where the brothers buried
100 pieces of gold. The first two
chapters of the story are in the Sun-
fest program which will come with
every Sunfest button. Castlegar
News is publishing the remaining
chapters of the story every Wed-
nesday, concluding with Chapter 6
on May 31. Decipher the clues and
fill owt the entry form on the back
of the Sunfest program and guess
where the gold is hidden. Mail or
bring the official entry form to the
Caslegar Chamber of Commerce
office before Tuesday, June 6 at 4
p.m. A draw will be made from all
the correct entries and the winner
will receive 100 loonies (piéces of
gold, courtesy of Castlegar Savings
Credit Union. _+

Chapter 5
The day after the slide, Young
Mel hiked up the back way to the
cabin. She lit a fire to stay warm
and carefully removed the
packsacks from the bodies, Inside
them was dried beef, hunting
knives, the remains of dynamite
caps and a startling photo of a
woman dressed in clothing from
the . OF a U
photo, in faded letters, were the
words, “*To my beloved old Koot,
love Connie.”’

“But that’s me,"’ said Mel.
**Gramma Connie looks just like
me!"

whole story,”” said Young Mel.
And, for the rest of the day young
Mel told Kootenay and Columbia
Rivers the history of the area in the
last 100 years.

“*And,”’ she finished, ‘I'll even
help you find the gold you buried! |
know all the trails in the area
because Grandpa used to take me
hiking up here looking for the gold.)
If you can remember where you
buried it, I can get you there. All |
want to do is prove my grandfather
was right, that there really was 100
pieces of gold.””

The brothers sat in disbelief as
they heard the story. Could it be
true? Could they have been buried
for 100 years?

lt was getting dark and. Young
Mel had to get back to town. She
told Kootenay and Columbia she
would be back the next day with
provisions, newspapers, maps and
some whiskey and would answer
any questions they had.

After she left, Kootenay and
Columbia talked all night trying to
figure out what had happened and
why they couldn’t remember where
they had hidden the gold.

**Gramma Connie, where is the
gold buried?’’ she whispered.

“Get off me you old Koot,”’
bellowed a voice behind him. Star-
tled, Mel turned around to see arms
flailing under the tarp.

“Me? You're the old Koot so get
off ME!"’ hollered a second voice.
Suddenly the tarp flew off and
there were two grown men
wrestling-on the cabin floor. As
they rolled on the floor towards the
fire, Young Mel screamed. Both
men stopped, looked at each other
and then looked around the cabin
and spotted Mel.

Young Mel spoke first.

“You must be Kootenay and
Columbia Rivers,"’ she said.

“Connie, what are you doing

* here?’’ they growled.

“I’m Mel,” she said. ‘*My gran-
dmother was Connie. My gran-
dfather used to tell me stories
about youtwo.”’

Judging by the look of disbelief
on their faces, Young Mel realized
that the Rivers brothers had been
buried for 100 years and wouldn't
know about Connie and her gran-
dfather

“If you two can stop arguing
long enough I will tell you the

canoes.

Each week, Young Mel returned
to the cabin with provisions for the
brothers and answered any
questions they had about the area.
The brothers kept busy reading
about the area, studying new maps
that didn’t make much sense. But,
try as they might, they couldn't
remember where they had buried
the gold. Nothing was the same.
The landmakrs had all changed

Late in April, Young Mel
brought a copy of her family album
to show to Kootenay and Colum-
bia. There were. some unusual
drawings and cryptic notes in the
album that her grandmother Con-
nie had made.

“Of course,"’ hollered Colum-
bia, ‘‘she knew where we were
going to meet that night and she
has written clues that would only
make sense to her, or to someone
who knew the story.’”

Kootenay cried, **Yes! All we
have to do is solve the clues and
that will tell us where we hid the
gold." Excited, the brothers
became completely absorbed in the

album and the clues and didn’t

notice that Young Mel had left.

Kootenay, are looking for
the new regional Red Cross off!

Office to open

The B.C.-Yukon Division of the
‘Canadian Red Cross Society is opening
aregional office for the Kootenays.

The office will be in Castlegar and
will serve an area from Golden in the
north to the U.S. border in the south,
west to Rock Creek/Fauquier and east
to the Alberta border. The newly ap-
pointed regional director, Gary
Ockenden, began work May 1,
operating temporarily from the
Castlegar branch office.

“The Red Cross wants to give
greater support to volunteers in the
Kootenays in providing needed ser-
vices,"” Ockenden -said in a news
release. ‘‘It's hoped that with staff and
a regional office, we'll see even more
Red Cross activity. Personally, I’m
delighted to be living and working in
this part of B.C,””

Volunteers from across the region
met on May 13 in Creston to begin the
next stage of forming the new jurisdic-
tion. Regional vice-president for the
West Kootenay, Denise Reed of
Castlegar, chaired the meeting. She
