Record-breaking numbers hit the trail for 29th Annual Tweedsmuir X-Country Ski Race
David Flegel photo
Three generations of racers hit the trail: Hunter, Carl and Bill Harestad all took part this year
Record breaking participation numbers saw 68 people out enjoying the 29th Annual Tweedsmuir Ski Club X-Country Ski Race Event on March 1st, 2015. We were back the original race distances after a two year stint of using laps of only the seven kilometre meadow loop due to unfavourable weather condition). Participants skied either three, seven, 12 or 24 km and although there was little to no sun this year, we still had a good event as the temperature made for some great skiing conditions. Soup, hot drinks and potluck snacks after the race helped keep people warm as they waited for other skiers and the mug/trophy award presentation. The 40+ age category had the largest turnout this year with 21 participants followed closely by the 17-39 age group with 19 participants. We also had a great youth and kids turnout as well, with participation prizes and treasure bins to help motivated the little ones! A big shout-out to the youngest participants – four-year old Eric Boileau, six-year old Morgan Boileau, and six-year old Seton Bernier for being the youngest skiers to complete the sevenkilometer loop! A huge congratulations to Tim deGrace who was our overall winner this year with a 24 kilometre time of 1:58:12 followed closely by Grant McCartney with a time of 2:07:40 A big thank-you to everyone who helped out on race day, especially Lyle Enderud and Duane Pederson who tirelessly groom our ski trails and keep them in topnotch shape. Thanks to Kyah Saban and Ralph for setting up and registration, Lisa and John for time keeping, Alex and the Outdoor Ed kids for set up and take down, and Dave for manning the seven kilometre juice station. It was wonderful to see so many people up enjoying the ski trails and event, thanks to everyone for participating and supporting the race. Hopefully we’ll see everyone next year for the 30th Annual Tweedsmuir X-Country Ski Race. SEE MORE ON PAGE 3

Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer set to take the stage at 2015 Music Fest With a name like The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer, you might think that the Vancouver-based duo is the result of a love story between Captain Ahab and Lizzie Borden. You’d be wrong. In reality, Shawn ‘The Harpoonist’ Hall and Matthew ‘The Axe Murderer’ Rogers are armed with an arsenal of harmonicas, a mess of foot percussion, and a road-worn Telecaster guitar. The duo kick out raw, primal blues, infused with a jolt of renewed energy. Their memorable name is inspired by a lyric from Kris Kristofferson’s ‘Bobby McGee’ that references the blues harp, (‘I took my harpoon
out of my dirty red bandana’) and ‘axe’, a common term for the guitar. Hall and Rogers have been influenced by the well-known, prolific songwriter and Grammy winner Willie Dixon, among others, but recently the band finds themselves increasingly inspired not only by the electric ‘groove blues’ of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s but also by the music of their peers. Their sound, however, is distinctly their own--smothered in greasy, gritty soul and imbued with funk. The band has been nominated for multiple Maple Blues Awards, and won 'Blues Act of the Year' at the SiriusXM
Indies in 2013. They have also pounded their fair share of festival stages including SXSW 2013/14, Winnipeg Folk Fest, Ottawa Blues Fest, Calgary Folk Fest, and Montreal Jazz Fest. Along the way they’ve shared the stage with Taj Mahal, Booker T Jones, David Wilcox, Mother Mother, The Sheep Dogs, and Serena Ryder. They’ve also had songs featured on television shows such as the 'The Good Wife’ and 'Blue Bloods'. Their music is unapologetic. It slaps you in the face and makes you sweat like it’s a sticky, summer night. It’s the blues played the way it was meant to be played.
The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer's sound is so big you'll swear there was more than just two guys on the stage!
CRD Chairs Group expresses concern over rising ferry fares Press Release The Coastal Regional District Chairs Group recently met with the BC Ferry Commissioner, Mr. Gordon Macatee. The Group expressed concern about the continuing lack of a vision statement by BC Ferries, and that coastal communities are now well beyond the tipping point: the total traffic for BC Ferries has dropped to 1991 levels. The significant increases in fares are making BC Ferries unaffordable. The last scheduled fare increase of 3.9% in Performance Term 3, will take effect on April 1, 2015. As a regulator, the Commissioner is completely independent of the Provincial Government and BC Ferries. The difficulty for the Group is that as traffic continues to decline, so does revenue. Reductions in service further reduce the traffic, yet the Commissioner has to come up with ferry fare proposals to keep the Corporation
financially sustainable. Under this mandate, the Commissioner has no option but to signal that ferry fares must go up. The Commissioner is now preparing a preliminary Price Cap Position for Performance Term 4, an evaluation term within the 60-year Coastal Ferry Services Contract that begins April 2016. It is
expected that position will be released by the end of March 2015 to be followed by a six-month pause for public input. The Group was formed in 2011 as a result of growing concern about the economic and social impacts of BC Ferries system on coastal economies. This concern has not change and in fact has been strength-
Chartered Accountants Business Advisors LLP
ened in light of a report by the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) and the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities (AVICC) which clearly demonstrates that the effects of the BC Ferry system are actually province-wide. The Coastal Chairs continue to maintain the position that the BC Ferry system is a part of the province-wide

The quality and variety of food on the tables was a testament to the many fine cooks we have in our valley! During the evening there were door prizes, a silent auction and an opportunity to enter draws for the two main prizes of a .22 calibre long rifle or a 20 minute helicopter ride donated by West Coast Helicopters. Kindra Gurr was the very excited winner of the rifle and Leslie Harrison will be able to show off our local sites to five guests with her West Coast Helicopters gift certificate. Music for the evening was provided by Tog-e, Bog-e (Take it Easy). The ensemble featured a mix of Celtic and traditional songs with lively entries to get people on their feet and singing along. Mitch Moren was the winner of the Buck derby this year with his 156 6/8 inch Mule Deer and there were lots of hunting and outdoor adventure stories and photos shared during the course of the evening – including successful hunts for many ladies and junior hunters in the group.
