Appears in February 2, 1984 issue:
02-370-102. Pg. 1. Caption: A sure sign of spring is the annual fall of the barrel into the waters of Alta Lake. Volunteer firemen Jim Crichton and Rick Crofton battled high winds and slippery ice Friday to place the barrel in the centre of the lake, marking the start of the Ice Break-up Derby.
02-370-69. Pg. 3. Caption: [top] Can Cops ski? The answer is a definite yes, judging by the results of last week's Canadian-American Fire and Police Winter Carnival. Visiting defenders of the public, most of them from California, skied slalom and GS on both mountains. At an awards banquet at Delta Mountain Inn Saturday, local RCMP Constable Rene Des Fosses, left, and Rocky Fortin, right, delighted their American counterparts with their full-dress uniforms. The 240 visiting police and firemen hope to return next year with an even larger contingent, and will take advantage of the new Convention Centre.
02-370-8. Pg. 3. Caption: [bottom] The Whistler Resort Association's newest member is 35-year-old Rob Tivy who takes over as the association's sales director. Tiny, a native of Calgary, started in the position Monday and expects to work out of an office in Vancouver. He says his main job will be to promote Whistler as a four-season resort and as a convention and seminar destination. Tivy's previous tourist experience includes being General Manager of the Edmonton Tourist and Convention Bureau and working of the Travel and Convention Association of Southern Alberta. A business administration graduate from Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Tivy is married with two children and lives in North Delta.
02-370-91. Pg. 6. Caption: Whistler Tennis International enters its third week of operation this weekend. Last Saturday was the official opening, where Lindsay Frew of Vancouver (left) and partner Gary Berge of Whistler took on Doug Barr of Whistler and Don Snyder of North Vancouver in the four-court tennis bubble at Myrtle Philip School. Players report the playing surface is a little fast, but that is compensated for by the dense air inside the bubble.

02-370-6. Pg. 8. Caption: [middle] Jim Scribner, Contractor, Nesters.

02-370-29. Pg. 9. Caption: "Where's my master?" At lunch, apparently, while Fido (not his real name) guards the tow truck. Sunny, warm weather Monday, however, made this dog's job a little more pleasant than usual.
02-370-34. Pg. 12. Caption: It was the Whistler Mountain Ski Scamps Olympics Day last Sunday with more than 75 tykes taking part in grown-up ski racing. Kids were put through a mini slalom run and took part in a relay race to help determine their skill levels for future Ski Scamps classes. Jeff McMahon was the Black Diamond victor in the Super Scamp division. And the Regular Scamp winner was Tony Harisine while Jessica Humphries picked up top spot in the Beginners Green Circle Group.
