02-392-123. Pg. 1. Caption: Members of the Whistler Mountain Ski Club took a swing into Lost Lake during the balmy weather last Saturday. Although it seemed we had a lot of sun last month, CBC radio weatherman John Paschal says it's quite normal for this time of year.
02-392-67. Pg. 3. Caption: [top] Bob Lawrence, Pemberton conservation officer, holds an injured young goshawk he recently rescued. The goshawk is considered uncommon to rare in North America, and is also found in Africa, Madagascar and parts of the southwest Pacific. Adults reach a size of up to 63 cm in length.
02-392-43. Pg. 3. Caption: [bottom] Break dancers in Village Square entertained throngs of visitors to Whistler Monday afternoon. One of the dancers did a spin on his head but warning: don't try it yourself without proper instruction.
02-392-76. Pg. 7. Caption: Two separate water main projects last Wednesday caused the water to most of the village, Alta Vista and Brio to be shut off from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Workmen from Coastal Mountain Excavations installed a water main connector (above) to service the soon-to-be-built waterslide while a crew from Kal Sprinklers laid a water main extension to the new Municipal Hall and Village North Lands. According to engineer Doug Wylie, the lack of water resulted from a combination of the two projects and Kal Sprinklers failing to open a valve. Usually, says Wylie, there are enough loops in the water system so that if one section of the water main is turned off, water can loop through other pipes to the affected areas.
02-392-18. Pg. 8. Caption: West Van City (in solid jerseys) managed to put three goals past the Montecristo net minder Monday afternoon to edge out the East Vancouver squad 3-2 and take first prize in the Whistler Women's Soccer Tournament on the weekend. West Van appeared to be walking all over Montecristo when they took a 3-0 lead. but in the final 15 minutes of the game, the feisty Montecristo team scrambled back to score two goals and pressure the talented West Van squad. West Van City outscored its opponents 14 to 6 in the eight-team tournament.
