And everyone who participates and finishes the event they entered, whether it's the 20 km, 40 km or 50 km event or even the 10 km family fun ski- incorporated this year to celebrate Sibley's 10th Anniversary- receives a lapel pin to symbolize their achievement. The finishers in the 50 km event from the Nerdics were Michael Jacques (3:41:59), D'Arcy Furlonger (4:38:03), George. Danio (4:43:46), Dave Ditchfield (5:13:40) and Chris Bailey (5:13:47).

Bill was the driving force behind a group of skiers from the Schreiber-Terrace Bay area who were affectionately known as the North Shore Nerdics. It was no surprise last year when Bill's fantastic enthusiasm was able to create a team to win the Visitor's Award. In his honour we have renam- ed this trophy, which goes to the out- of-town team that skis the greatest distance, The Bill Smilsky Memorial Trophy. We are honoured that Bill's parents have accepted our invitation to present the trophy at the awards banquet."' The award was presented by Bill's father, Mike, who attended the Banquet with his wife Mira. Anne Wilkes accepted the plaque on behalf of the North Shore Nerdics. Because of the growing interest in the sport of cross-country skiing, a cross-country ski club is in the process of being formed with the purpose of improving and main- taining the existing trails and also forming a jackrabbit club to teach the young children and teenagers a fun, fresh-air sport. Anybody interested in helping or those who can offer some informa- tion or ideas are asked to call Michael Jacques or Lisa Kenney at 824-2894 or D'Arcy Furlonger at 824-2336.
