Volunteer Edition 2010

The ditarod e-Runner

What do you get when you combine the greatest athletes on the planet with the more than 1800 volunteers from around the world? “The Last Great Race on Earth”! This issue of the Iditarod e-Runner is dedicated to those who answered the call of duty and worked tirelessly before, during and after the 2010 Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. For all of us associated with the Iditarod; The ITC board of directors, the staff, and the mushers who run this race… thank you!

The 2010 Iditarod began on March 6th in Anchorage Alaska. But before the race could even be staged, hundreds of man hours contributed by Iditarod volunteers transformed 4th Avenue into the perfect venue for the 38th edition of “The Last Great Race.” continued on page 3

“Must be able to handle chaos and have fun” was a part of the description regarding volunteering at the Volunteer Registration Desk. It seemed better to warn anyone wanting to volunteer for this position before hand than to have them walk away feeling overwhelmed.

Apparently it worked as the Volunteer Registration Desk had a great group of volunteers who showed up ready for anything, willing to go the max, and laugh at everything that came their way. Questions were answered, directions were given and badges were handed out as release forms were signed. All in an orderly manner, no matter how long the lines grew. They explained why having an Iditarod Membership was important and why volunteers had to have it to fly with our airforce. I would like to thank these ladies for their hard work in helping to make sure all of the 2010 Volunteers were greeted with a smile and handed a badge.

A Very Special Note of Thanks!By Deby Trosper

The 2011 Iditarod membership pins and patches will be arriving any day now for distribution as the Iditarod Trail Committee members renew.

The thought process behind this year’s design was to show the love between musher

and dog. Actually, it doesn’t even need to be a musher. It could be anyone as we all love the dogs. In fact, it is the love of the dogs and the Race that help keep this race alive, whether it be through our sponsors, fans, members or volunteers. If you are not a member of the Iditarod Trail Committee, now is a good time to join and be one of the first to display your love for the dogs and Iditarod. (click here for link to membership form)

2010 Volunteers... continued from page 1On March 7th, 2010, the Iditarod Race Restart was ready to go in Willow. Again, Iditarod volunteers worked hundreds of hours in order to provide the 2010 field of mushers the very best conditions to begin the “real start” to Nome Alaska.

As teams began forging through snow storms in the Alaska Range, Iditarod volunteers were at the ready to make sure that when they arrived they had what they needed to continue on through North America’s largest mountain range.

When teams finally made their way out of the Alaska Range and the Farewell Burn, they began the next phase of their race to Nome, through the communities along the Kuskokwim River system and once gold laden mining communities that are no more. At each checkpoint, teams were greeted by Iditarod volunteers.

By the time teams reach Ruby (the first checkpoint on the banks of the Yukon), they were ready for a rest. Many took their mandatory 8 hour rest at Ruby taking advantage of the amenities provided by the people who call Ruby home and the volunteers who travel there to provide that all important continuum of care for the teams.

As teams made their way to the Gold Coast (the last leg of the run to Front Street in Nome) volunteers worked in cold temperatures to meet the needs of those teams running against the clock in the front

of the pack and provide comfort to those teams who were running a different race: the race to just finish.

For some Iditarod volunteers, Nome Alaska becomes the end of the trail. For others, Nome was just the beginning of the end of the trail. Hundreds of volunteers staged in Nome to work as security,

cooks, communications, and so much more. Even after the teams began heading home, volunteers remained making sure the clean up got done.

In classrooms around the world, as the next school year begins, teachers will be looking to Iditarod for leadership in bringing the highest level of education to their students. These teachers have recognized that Iditarod based education brings unique opportunities to enhance all areas of the curriculum. These

teachers know that a person they can count on for guidance is the Target® Iditarod Teacher on the Trail™.

The Target® 2011 Iditarod Teacher on the Trail, Martha Dobson will be with them via technology, every step of the school year.

Martha hails from Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, and is a lifelong North Carolinian, a sixth grade middle school teacher and the second North Carolina teacher to hold the Iditarod Teacher on the Trail position. Living all around North Carolina while growing up, she has resided in her small town near Charlotte, NC for 27 years with her husband, Allen, and three children, Robert, 25, Elizabeth, 22, and Sara, 18. Allen is a family physician. Robert and Elizabeth graduated college in the past year, and Sara begins her college career in the fall. A longtime Girl Scout , Martha has volunteered with her daughters’ troops since 1993 and worked as a freelance writer for a local newspaper.

A graduate of Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina, Martha holds a bachelor of arts in psychology and a teaching certificate in elementary and middle grades education with

concentrations in language arts and social studies. She enjoys horseback riding, being outdoors, travel, and reading. Her family has numerous cats and a rescued Siberian husky named Morgan.

Martha returned to the classroom at Mount Pleasant Middle School eight years ago to teach English/language arts. Immediately, she was drawn to the Iditarod by her prophetic choice of a Gary Paulsen novel to teach her students. In 2005, she traveled to the Iditarod race start to be an Idita-Rider in Phil Morgan’s sled, sure that she’d never have a chance to return to The Last Frontier. That experience was the “coolest thing” she’s ever done, she says, and the Iditarod bug bit her, hard. Now she’s been to four race starts, four

Iditarod teachers’ conferences, and enjoyed a summer vacation.

Martha says that the Iditarod appeals to her sense of adventure and her appreciation of the unique and challenging event. Her students are intrigued by its uniqueness, too, and Martha has incorporated Iditarod in her classroom and school through lessons not only for her English classes, but classes in other grade levels and subject areas, including math, science, and technology.

As well as being a highly motivating teaching tool, Martha says the Iditarod and her efforts to become the Target® 2011 Iditarod Teacher

on the Trail™ set the example of taking advantage of opportunities in life and perseverance. “I believe that you work hard, and get what you work hard for,” she says. Never dreaming that teaching would get her to Alaska, Martha believes it’s important for everyone to “go for it” in life, whatever their dream or opportunity might be.

Births & DeathsDeathsBruce Braden, 54, died December 21 in a house fire at his place off Knik Road. Bruce and his wife, Kit, have been in charge of the Knik 200 for the last nine years. Additionally, they have been the “flower garden people” at the Iditarod HQ for many years.

Longtime resident A. Robert “Bob” Bacon, 85, died peacefully on Dec. 25, 2009, from natural causes with his family by his side at his son’s home in Anchorage.His remains were be cremated and his ashes scattered along the original historic

Iditarod Trail behind Flathorn Lake, where he lived from 1982 until recent failing health prompted him to move to family in Anchorage. Bacon was one those who put in trail during the early Iditarods.

Richard E Forsgren, 87, died at the Pioneer Home in Palmer on March 19. He had been involved with the Iditarod Race since its beginning. He was at his Ophir cabin during the first race and every year since his cabin there has been a checkpoint.

He and Audra manned that checkpoint for years until finally turning it over to their sons. Dick also broke trail between McGrath and Poorman many years and served on the Iditarod Board of Directors.

Mark J Kelliher, 67 of Eagle River, died Saturday 27 Feb. 2010 of a heart attack in McGrath, Alaska. He was buried in the cemetery at Ft. Richardson, AK. Mark had been an Iditarod volunteer for Iditarod for many years working in

We are dependent on each other to accomplish all that must be done. The greatest veterinarians in the world would be of little value if there weren’t pilots to get them to their checkpoints, communications personnel to coordinate their movements, cooks to feed them, etc., etc., etc. It is truly a huge team effort and I appreciate all of our volunteers!

As a volunteer organization, it takes a huge year around effort to keep things flowing. Obviously, my greatest focus is on the veterinary program, but all departments face similar challenges.

The veterinary staff must be re-established on an annual basis. Typically, as the previous race summaries are completed, the time to start building for the following year must begin. It is a continuous circle of activity merging one year with

the next. Appropriately, invitation letters are sent to veteran veterinarians in early June. Other veterinarians inquiring about joining the staff for the first time (rookies), receive a letter describing requirements for staff selection and an application form.

By October, the initial veterinary staff selection has been completed. All veterinarians

Iditarod 2010 was a fantastic race! Certainly, the competition was keen, but this issue is dedicated to the hard working volunteers whose efforts must never be taken for granted!

accepted must have a current license to practice in their local jurisdiction, and it must be in good standing. Those that do not have a permanent Alaska veterinary license, must apply to the Alaska Board of Veterinary Medicine for a “Courtesy License.” This special license is issued after a review of all paperwork by the Alaska Veterinary Medical Board, and it is in effect for 30 days, to encompass the time period of the pre-race veterinary exams through the race finish.

Obviously, this process takes time, necessitating establishment of the staff sufficiently in advance to complete the paperwork. Because October is still months in advance of the race, sufficient alternates must be established to allow for attrition through the winter months, typically as the result of health, family or business crises that may develop which would prevent their participation in March.

There were several notable facts represented by the 2010 veterinary staff. Although veterans always out number rookie veterinarians in any given year, we did have a record number of rookies for 2010….and they were an outstanding group! In addition, they also represented a record number of countries for a single year, including Austria, Australia, Canada, Germany, South Africa and of course, the USA.

The volunteer technicians, led by Head Veterinary Technician, Jan Bullock, performed their jobs with professionalism in implanting microchips, recording ECGs and drawing blood samples for screening of all dogs preparing to enter the race! Their work is accomplished “behind the scenes” during February, but is vitally important to the well being of the dogs and success of the race.

But that’s not all! Let’s not forget some tremendous veterans who have been a part of the veterinary staff for many years. For those of you who have been out on the trail, the names of Drs. Jean Dieden, Rich Harden, Turner Lewis, Phil Meyer, John Reichart, George Stroberg, Roger Troutman

and/or Jerry Vanek, are likely familiar.

I would especially like to thank another veteran of numerous Iditarods. Dr. Caroline Griffitts won the

Golden Stethoscope Award for not the first, nor the second, but the third time in 2010! The recipient of this award is selected by the mushers and is annually given to a veterinarian who has performed admirably in assisting mushers and their dogs on the trail.

In addition to her work as a volunteer veterinarian for the Iditarod, she is the president of the International Sled Dog Veterinary Medical Association (ISDVMA) and has participated as a trail veterinarian or Chief Veterinarian

for numerous other races, both nationally and internationally. Congratulations Caroline!

What a Race! Continued from page 12

Asher Barron, first child of Will and Chanelle Barron, was born March 28 at Mat Su Midwifery. He weighed six pounds, eleven ounces. Will is the youngest son of John Barron and has been a part of mushing circles all his life.

Mathew Georg Farr, first child of Mike and Molly Farr, was born April 15 in Wasilla. He came into the world weighing 10 lb 20 oz. Molly works in the museum store at the ITC HQ and she and Mike have been

volunteers since their arrival in Alaska several years ago.

Elena Marie Freking, first child of Blake and Jennifer Freking, was born May 19 in Finland, Minnesota. Both Blake and Jennifer are Iditarod

veterans.

The Iditarod Trail Committee (ITC) recently announced that the Board of Directors of the Iditarod Historic Trail Alliance (Alliance) awarded the ITC $27,000 to fund trail maintenance between Rohn and Post on the Iditarod Trail.

“This grant to the ITC is a great example of the collaborative partnerships that the Alliance believes are critical to the long term success of the protection, development and use of the Iditarod National Historic Trail. We look forward to future trail maintenance recommendations and ITC’s assistance in developing a comprehensive plan with our partners for long-term trail improvements,” stated Judy Bittner, president of the Iditarod Historic Trail Alliance.

“We are grateful to the Alliance for this much needed funding. There is significant work to be done on this section of trail, as well as in other areas. All user groups will benefit from this funding and the trail improvements involved,” said Stan Hooley, Executive Director of the ITC. The trail maintenance project will hopefully be completed by the end of July, 2010.

IDITAROD®

INSIDER PRESENTS

On March 6th, 2010, one musher in a field of 71 was

determined to re-define Iditarod History. Lance Mackey

set out to do what no Iditarod musher has ever done:

win 4 Iditarod’s in a row. But there were some major

obstacles in his way including white out blizzards in the

Alaska Range, minus 40 degree temperatures in Alaska’s

interior and at least ten teams that were determined

to stop the streak. Mackey was chasing history, while

everybody else was chasing him.

Iditarod 2010: Chasing History is about the battle that 55

official finishers waged with Mother Nature and within

themselves. It’s about storms and cold and it’s about long

standing records that are no longer. This documentary is

about a race that will define future Iditarod’s and how

the teams that made it to Nome were a part of Iditarod

History. To order call 1-800-545-6874
