Fun swim organizers report the event went off without a hitch. Other competitors in the swim included Sharon Daly, Joan Parnell, Mike McCroden, Leslie Bruse, Molly Boyd, Shawn Hughes and Daryl Stone.

Jim Hogarth who left yesterday for a posting in Mission. Speevak, 41, began his duties Monday and comes from Vancouver RCMP headquarters, where he spent five years in the planning branch. That job involved management studies for the national police force, and also entailed development of computer programs. Speevak is a 14-year veteran RCMP and has had previous postings in Nanaimo, Golden, Kamloops and Ottawa. He also spent four years on the Royal Hong Kong police force, and earlier received a Master of Science degree in police administration from Michigan State.

Golfers can also take advantage of the course's practice fairway and make a start hitting some of the 7,000 golf balls the course has available at $4 a large bucket and $2 for a small one.
02-393-61. Pg. 9. Caption: George Kelly of Seattle was the 10,000th golfer to tee off at the Whistler Golf Course this year. Kelly, a food service distributor, played his round July 24. Bookings on the course are at 100 per cent most weekends and 80 per cent weekdays. Numbers are up considerably from last year when the 10,000th player came through in the second week in September. The only problem the course is having now is that players are having a hard time getting tee times.
