02-413-C-16. Pg. 1. Caption: Fifteen loaded freight cars were forced off the B.C. Rail track just north of Pemberton after the Lillooet River eroded material supporting ties and tracks. The railcars were part of a 96-car freight train southbound when the accident occurred early Monday morning. Elsewhere in Pemberton, houses, farmland and roads were flooded badly, but by Tuesday afternoon the flood was on the wane, although more rain was forecast.
02-413-D-19. Pg. 3. Caption: [top] Passersby saw the Soo River leap it banks on Highway 99 close to Pemberont Monday (top), but highway crews soon had the river under control.

Caption: [bottom right] At right, Pemberton fire chief Milt Fernandez, who supervised rescue and flood control operations in the besieged town, takes a moment out at the rescue centre for victims of the Meager Creek disaster Sunday.

02-413-A-1. Pg. 6. Caption: Whistler's slo-pitch league almost became snow pitch this season, but Stoney's pulled ahead before the flakes fell and won the championship in the 19-team league. Saturday's championship game against the Gourmet Rainbow Reefers saw the Stoney's crew (above) win 14 to 8, and had some observers calling the league the Beer and Whine league by the end. Next years should be another interesting season as the Tapley A's, make their long awaited slo-pitch debut.
