02-418-B-20. Pg. 1. Caption: The Fraser Valley Round and Square Dance Association entertained village visitors all weekend long. The dancers even convinced spectators in Village Square to take part in their traditional dance routines. Hundreds of visitors flocked to Whistler for the Labor Day weekend and the village came in with an occupancy rate of 62 per cent in August.
02-418-B-11. Pg. 3. Caption: [top The Conference Centre is expected to be finished by May, 1985 and will be one of only two facilities built for conference in B.C.
02-418-A-4. Pg. 3. Caption: [bottom] Tuesday was the first day of classes for local students. Myrtle Philip School opened its doors to 111 students and the Grade 2 and 3 class, taught by Sandy Pauliuk-Epplett, saw classes end at 11:30 a.m. rather than 3 p.m.
02-418-C-23. Pg. 5. Caption: Paul and Jane Burrows returned to Whistler last Tuesday after spending more than a year travelling around the globe. The couple's dog Simba hardly even noticed that the trekkers, who travelled by horse, train, bus, helicopter and even car to South Africa, France, New Zealand and Tahiti (to name but a few stops) were gone. Late summer also saw the return of Al and Nancy Raine after spending the last two years in Crans Montana, Switzerland.
02-418-B-26. Pg. 6. Caption: Vandals hit the former Mountain House Cabaret Friday night, kicking apart a fence and tearing down a wooden sign. Although about $100 worth of damage was done, the vandals apparently saved the new owner the task of removing the Mountain House sign.
02-418-C-18. Pg. 9. Caption: John Bruechler of Whistler likes to drive cars -- both right side up and upside down. Seen here at the PNE last week, Bruechler was about to do a stunt flip in his battered truck. He succeeded.
