The 2003 Female Lifeguard of the Year:

#2 She was the 2002 Female Lifeguard of the year and she came very close this year. Everyone knows I like her if only she would like me. She was named my 2003 Valentine and that you can see at Mark T's 2003 Valentine. I believe she has been guarding for 6 years now and before that she could really make a mean shake over in the original Milo's. I like her a lot and about her I have not forgot. One of the best guards in the sand and the 2003 Runner Up in the Female Lifguard of the Year Contest

TINA

In 2003 I Mark T hereby name Cori the Female Lifeguard of the Year. While she certainly won't win for best slide pusher she always seems happy to me and that has to count for something but I look for something special and this year there was one incident that I watched that I was so impressed with I had to give her this award. I talk about "Chaos At The Cage" we all know that happens to frequently but this year there was Chaos at the top of the dragon and then what do you do the lifeguard before her said I got to get out of here and who could blame him. People were just sliding down one right after anoterh and by the time I got back up the stairs there were lines no screaming and everything under control people without the lifeguards signal did not go. For that and her continued happiness I congratulate Cori who is Mark T's 2003 Female Lifeguard of the year and you may have seen her before but who minds looking again so her picture is below.


The 2003 Male Rookie Lifeguard of the Year:

The Siblings have it this year. I am giving Cori's brother this award which I am sure is a first. On July 24, 2003 I rode the slide just to see if he was "lineworthy" because there are some guards that meet that distinction and many that don't. If you can run whitewater well which is my favorite ride you have a good chance of winning an award. After riding the slide 8x without any trouble I did deem him "lineworthy" whenever he is around there doesn't seem to be any trouble at all he is a man of very few words it seems to me but thats ok I name

CLINT

my 2003 Rookie male lifeguard of the year.

The 2003 Female Rookie Lifeguard of the Year:

#5 She is as sweet as can be. She seems to be always happy and it makes me happy to see her

JULIE

#4 Nice people make me happy especially if they happen to wear there hair in braided pigtails and if they will talk to me as it is not easy for me to start any conversations. When she is on her stand I like to watch her eyes move all around you are watching you can see she is

NANCY

#3 She beats every female lifeguard out as the best pusher on the slide rides. When she is at a slide the line moves so quickly. I'll even be ok with the fact that she can't do the splits. I like to be in her line because I know I won't be in it very long.

LISA

#2 Well I try my best not to have ties but sometimes since I am the judge there will be ties so this year I don't have a Runner up in the 2003 Female Rookie Lifeguard of the Year contest instead I Mark T. Declare a A Tie and Say there are Co-Female Rookie Lifeguards of the Year they are.

The girl that makes me happy her slides move very quickly she usually has something to say and reads books so she can be like her smart friends if you get her on your slide or as your attendant you should be thrilled.

Mark T's 2003 Co-Rookie Female Lifeguard of the Year

ERIN

I kind of gave away who the other Co-Rookie Female lifeguard of the year award was going too she is a stickler for the rulers and she will actually go and tell people things like that tube doesn't leave this area and on numerous occassion seen her pick up stray tubes that got away. She is a great lifeguard and with the classic ponytail she is very pleasing to the eyes. She doesn't talk much even though I want her to because she is the same person who wins the Best voice award Congratulations to Mark T's 2003 Co-Rookie Female Lifeguard of the Year

REBECCA

Maybe we can get pictures of all the contenders this year but we will just have to see

The 2003 Male Lifeguard of the Year:

#3 Everyone loves him and I like when he is at the top of slides cause he does pretty good even if I have to give him refresher courses. It is the guy you all want to see

DAVID

#2 This year's runner up always comes so close in 9 years he has been one of the few consistent things about Deep River Waterpark. Season after season he returns and that is great hopefully he has one more year left in him and will try again in season #10 because a decade of service as a lifeguard is really something and he is just one away. You can't break the rules when he is around and congrats go to the 2003 Runner Up Male Lifeguard of the year

DUSTIN

Drum roll please the 2003 Male Lifeguard of the year retains the crown for another year and even broke down the barrier of the all female leads club and joined them here at the season's end isn't it great when there is no line at whitewater I think so. Once again repeating as Male Lifeguard of the year 2003 how many years can he win? I give the award to

MIKE

THE NAME GAME

I like unique names and this year on the sand their are two names that are intriguing to me. One I can never spell right but maybe very soon your picture here you will see and the other one is a friend of hers who well I still have a hard time believing is really a name. My favorite names in the 2003 season

SIOBHAN

MAREN


Coming very soon Mark T's 20 "lineworthy" guards from the 2003 season. When they are at a slide you know the line won't be to long so it is ok to wait and one of them will be the girl known as the depressed girl but she says she isn't depressed. She quickly rose up the ranks to become a Mark T favorite she is Justine and she is one of 20. In this I took a stroll down memory lane as some leads were really lineworthy before the stopped pushing and if they haven't pushed in awhile the Emeritus description goes next to their name

#20 RACHEL #19 ALEX #18 MISTY (EMERITUS) #17 DUSTIN #16 JULIE

#15 EMILY #14 JUSTINE #13 NANCY #12 SIOBHAN #11 ERIN

#10 DAVID #9 SASHA (EMERITUS) #8 ASHLEY #7 JAKE #6 "The Totally Terrific" TINA

#5 Ok this is bad but I don't know her name she has dark hair can really run a slide I just refer to her as the Mean girl

#4 CLINT #3 REBECCA #2 LISA

and the most lineworthy guard of them all may soon heave the Emeritus next to his name. #1 MIKE

Those are my 20 "lineworthy guards for the 2003 season. I'll wait in their lines as their won't be much of a wait.

The 2003 Guard with the Best Voice Award

I think you had to see this one coming. She has the best voice of any guard since America's Sweetheart and Mine Kristen :) I like her voice so much that their is a game I play see if Mark T can make Rebecca talk. I am not very good at but when I am a winner it is so great to hear her voice it is music to my ears. I just wish she would talk more. So the winner beyond a shadow of a doubt is

REBECCA

BEST MALE STORM ATTENDANT

It isn't a lot of fun when there is "Chaos at the Cage" many times it would appear that the attendant did disappear. Chaos has been witnessed a few time this year. Some make an effort to at least get 2 lines and that is good but try to get a space in between the 2 lines and that is probably tougher than parting the Red Sea. In order to get this award though you have to go even further than that though. When this guy works the cage you can be sure there will be no chaos and just when those little people think no one is watching and they move ever so swiftly up in the line thinking no one notices. He does and puts them back in their place. Only guard I have ever seen do that this year so the winner is

JAKE

BEST FEMALE STORM ATTENDANT

A lot of guests at Deep River Waterpark like to play a game at the cage where the lifeguard as a target on them and when they turn around they throw the tube and hit them in the head I think that is 1,000 points. However, some people are even more daring than this and will throw them right into their faces. It is called the human bobblehead and many have fallen victime this year so I scanned and I scanned to see who this years Best Female Storm Attendant could be and I watched several so called hops over the fence and then I decided that since no one came close to the victor from last year that she will retain the award even though I don't think I ever seen her be a storm attendant this year I bet she has though. She sure can hop that fence and if I were on the run from the law she is who I would want to hop the fence for me. Congrats to the 2 year in a row

HOPKINS

The Comeback Award

At Deep River Waterpark many lifeguards come and go some stay awhile and there are many that are one and done. On occassions some comeback after missing a season or more and well the last guard to do that from the trouble with Trisha absoultely terrifed Mark T but this year we are happy to see the lifeguard who has returned from a mild concussion, from cancer and she came back from the 2001 season we say welcome back

KRISTEN

The 2003 Award for Best Sandals:

Still to be determined who is in the game?

Erin I love her sandals blue with just a little green thing i like the substance they are made out of

Sarah I am fond of the color yellow and her sandals are very unique

Nicole I haven't seen her much but when I did I made a not that I liked her sandals they are white.

The 2003 Award for Best Sunglasses:

The winner in this category is someone whose sunglasses I would actually wear because I like them and they match the swimsuits at the park. No not Emily whose sunglasses I actually did wear down the ride but the winner with his blue stylish sunglasses is

JAKE


The 2003 Best Female Storm Pusher

This award traditonally has gone to Rebecca who would come out of the office and enjoyed pushing people down the storm so much. She was really good but there usually was no competition from the other female guards but this year a new gal has burst on the scene and she has the distinction of being deemed "lineworthy" by a female guard I have never seen a storm slide run quicker and more efficiently then by this guard. She is usually on the cyclone and since that is my favorite storm ride it makes me a happy guy. The 2003 Best Female Storm Pusher is

LISA

Mark T's ever so coveted Best Hair Award

I absoloutely love my hair when I am depressed I look in the mirror and say well at least I have such beautiful hair and I love beautiful hair. I am known as a hair and leg guy. In the park this year there is some very nice hair and this award is almost as coveted as the Lifeguard of the Year Awards and this year I was very tempted to give the award to one of the 2003 Rookie Lifeguards of the year but then she would end up taking all of the awards. I like ponytails and I don't believe there has ever been a day when I haven't seen Rebecca have her hair in a classic ponytail. It is just so great I like it so much but then if I were to clone lifeguards for you it would be Rebecca that I would clone she just looks like she should be a lifeguard and I certainly do like her hair so she will get an honorable mention here.

However in 2003 I Mark T stand by my original comments and while I certainly don't know what color you call her hair this lifeguard has the most beautiful hair color I have ever seen and I told her so. In 2003 Mark T's coveted Best Hair award goes to
