Wendy O'Brien (bottom, left)
of the Foundation for
Enriching Education spent
time recently with the Grade
6 class at Seaforth Public
School to teach them about
making masks. The masks
were shaped with
cardboard and masking
tape and then painted. Each
student created a different
mask based on aboriginal
masks that fit with the
aboriginal studies the
students were working on.
Bachert family tries dogsledding
after raising huskies for Pc) years
By Wendy Mouser
special to The Huron Expositor
While snowmobiling is a
more traditional winter
activity, the Bachert-
family of Walton have
found an uncommon
alternative -- dog sledding.
"It may not be as fast as
a snowmobile but it's a lot
safer," said Marvin
Bachert, who trusts his
oldest son eight-year-old
Derrick, to dogsled by
himself.
The Bacherts bought
their wooden dogsled as a
present for Derrick last
Christmas.
"We had all thought
about (dogsledding) often
but it wasn't until Derrick
really started to beg for it,
" said Marvin, who raises
Siberian huskies.
Marvin and Wendy
bought their first husky 10
years ago and now own
seven, four of which are
able to pull the sleigh.
"Huskies love to run.
They get really excited
when they see you bring
the harnesses," said
Marvin. _ _ _ _ - -
Derrick said that huskies
are used for dogsledding
because they
ha v e
excellent
endurance.
The four
dogs,
attached to
the sleigh in
two rows,
can pull one
adult
standing on
the skis at
the back and
one child
sitting on the
sleigh. The
meaning right, and 'haw,'
meaning left, are used to
direct the dogs. 'Mush,'
tells the dogs to start
running and 'whoa,' tells
them to stop. ..
"Our dogs don't always
listen that well though,"
said Wendy,
which is
why the
Bacherts are
looking to
buy a trained
'lead dog'
that their
dogs could
fol l o w .
Well-trained
lead dogs
can cost
anywhere
from $2,000
to $4,000.

run. They get

Bacherts use old train
tracks as a trail for their
dogs, which travel about
15 mph.

said Marvin.
Many other Canadians
share the family's growing
interest in dogsledding.
said Wendy.
"The sport's growing
right ,now. A lot of people
started buying dogsleds
right around the time (the
movie) 'Iron Will' came
out," she said.
The Bacherts -consider-
themselves to he amateur
dogsledders. using the
sport for some family fun
and exercise.
"It's a real workout all
right," said Marvin.
Derrick the 'real
dogsledder' of the family.
according to his parents. is
hoping to train the dogs
for use in longer trips
when he gets older. This
would involve buying
more equipment. including
a cart that allows dogs to
be trained in the summer.
"Lots of times I'll he
waiting for Derrick to
come in from the bus and
I'll find his knapsack in
the garage and he'll he out
dogsledding down the
lane." said Wendy.
