02-378-17. Pg. 1. Caption: [top] For five and a half hours Saturday, volunteer firemen battled a condominium blaze that swept between walls. Six units were lost. Then Monday, fire broke out again nearby at the Baxter project. See story page 3.
02-378-23. Pg. 2. Caption: Firemen and residents were able to rescue some possessions from burning condos at Alpine Village Saturday, but losses were heavy and by the next day insurance investigators were already on the scene.
02-378-57. Pg. 3. Caption: [bottom] Whistler Mountain created a new sport Saturday: Gondola stuffing. The kids' team stuffed the most bodies into the gondola with 27, while the counterweights (a minimum of 200 lbs. each) could only manage nine.
02-378-84. Pg. 12. Caption: Whistler cross-country skier Jodi Rusted poles around a sharp corner during a fun relay race held to cap off the B.C. High School Cross-Country Championships held Saturday.
02-378-87. Pg. 13. Caption: Mike Davidson of the Alta Lake Sports Club will even spend time in the brig if it means hanging onto his hobby cannons. The one-pounder above was made by Great West Cannon Co. of Granville Island and is authentic in size and workmanship to the original. Davidson says. It was often hoisted into a ship's rigging and used to fire nails and other shrapnel at the enemy. Davidson uses the cannon to proclaim the open various sporting events but two years ago found himself in RCMP lock-up for four hours when a policeman arrested him for discharging a firearm in the municipality. But it's all in good fund, and the only thing fired is paper.
02-378-80. Pg. 20. Caption: [top left] Seppo Making, Logger (logged first ski runs), Nesters.
