YOUNG SCULPTORS - Showing their creative talents last week were Kevin Hood, Keshia Bishop,
James Durrell and Shawn Reinink. The Walton Public School grade one students created ice sculptures
using snow, water and food colouring. .more Ice sculpture photos will be featured next week.
Walton ice sculptures made
If you happen to enter Walton
Public School at the West entrance
you will see some beautiful colored
ice sculptures. They were made by
students in Mrs. Bennett's grade
one class. They have been studying
time and weather. The children
filled containers with colored water
and then set them outside. They
have been keeping track of how
long it takes to freeze etc. The big
block took two days to freeze solid-
ly.
The children in Mrs. Scott's grade
three class wished Agatha Wall
Happy Birthday on the 5th and they
also want Dana Smith to hurry and
get over the Chicken Pox.

TOURING TIPS #1
(c.1994 by Craig Nicholson. All rights reserved.)
lirhe fun of'snowmobiling touring can make you
throw caution to the wind. But don't forget
that sleds carry us far beyond normal help.
So be prepared before heading out into a
winter wonderland that can turn nasty..
If your plans include trailering, reduce the potential of
roadside headaches. After a season's disuse, axle
bearings may be seized or tires may not support the
load - similar to my knees after a summer's pigging
out. Grease and air before loading sleds, or risk
damaging tires, ego and maybe more.
Carry at least one spare tire. Besides the one around
my waist, I carry two for Ibng trips, one on a hitch
bracket and the other inside my vehicle. Make sure
they're sized to match and up to pressure. And don't
count on your car jack to lift the loaded trailer. I prefer
to use a heavy duty, upright jack. Chunks of 4 by 4
block up the trailer to prevent it rolling.
Check that your vehicle's tire wrench fits your trailer
wheel lugs. I use an "X" shaped universal wrench and
slip a 4' pipe over the end for more leverage against
air tightened lugs. You'll see me at the roadside
jumping up and down on the pipe.
Add sled tie -downs, covers, and gas cans, preferably
full. Top up the sleds before leaving and close gas
valves to avoid flooding and spills. If your trailer is
open with no deflector, tape plastic shopping bags
around your exposed front suspension to prevent grit
and roadsalt damage. They may flap in the breeze,
but a matched set lends a certain cachet.
When you're ready, don't forget maps, reservations,
money, driver's license, snowmobile registration and
insurance, sunglasses, camera/film, watch, and
medical info. And always carry spare sled and car
keys on your person . Many an exhilarating ride
has been spoiled by a key lost in the snow or
locked in a vehicle by mistake.
Carry survival and repair kits including various
spare nuts and bolts to fit your sled. Include more
and better tools than the manufacturer provides.
Take a spare belt, plugs, and oil. I also have a
pry bar and axe on board. And don't forget
security locks and keys.
For overnighting, you'll require at least one
change of clothes for apres sled. I also suggest extra
cold protection: glove liners (to double as work

gloves), socks, balaclava. Remember that
temperature and weather can change dramatically
both daily and throughout the day. And don't forget a
toilet kit that includes a comb to Combat that ravaged
helmet head. If all else fails, see a Marine barber.
I pack spare boot liners so a soaker doesn't mean
frozen tootsies all day. They're no fashion statement,
but I also double as slippers for walking around the
hotel at night. Beats clumping about in snowmobile
boots. And to ease those aching muscles, bring a
bathing suit for the spa. Skivvies are a transparent
alternative.
Packing this stuff requires patience, ingenuity and
practice. Start with good leather saddle bags. Take
my word for it, other luggage can't withstand the
pounding and you'll end up scattering your own
personal trail for miles in your wake.
Bungee cords and cargo nets tie the bags on,
anchored to eye -bolts drilled through the rear running
boards. Remember, nothing can be too secure
because you can't watch your backtrail. My theory is
that there are never too many bungee cords.
Experiment on short rides, check your load often and
ride first so friends can pick up your droppings
(hopefully before they run them over).
Obviously, touring requires planning and foresight,
starting with the sled you buy. Look for compartments
and luggage racks. A two-up seat provides extra
carrying space for solo riding. And a back rest
becomes an essential anchor point to stabilize your
load. Most manufacturers are now making "touring"
models specially geared to destination snowmobilers.
Among the best is Ski-Doo's Grand Touring with
reverse, electric start, hand and thumb warmers, and
rear view mirrors.
By the way, if you see someone tailgating you this
winter, it'll probably be yours truly, hoping that you .
haven't learned these lessons too well. I've lost lots of
stuff on the trails over the years. Maybe you'll drop
something I need.
Until next time, happy trails and remember: Sled
Smart - Ride Safe, Ride Sober. For information on
