   Extractions: It's that time of year, while most people are thinking about sunscreen and mowing the lawn Iditarod mushers are focused on signing up. The first day to sign up was June 25th, and mushers camped out to be one of the first to register. Of the 56 mushers, 45 are veterans, 11 are rookies, 14 are female and 42 are males. Each September, Montana Sled Dog, Inc. hosts its annual Rendezvous and Symposium. Yukon Quest Champion Lance Mackey will be one of the guest speakers. This is held to promote sport-wide education on a number of subjects of interest to mushers. It is exceptionally well-attended.

   Extractions: was being used by race opponents. I think you'll find it interesting. Margery Glickman is listed as a staff member of Animal's In Print , an on-line newsletter that openly supports Animal Liberation, which is characterized by groups like ALF, which uses bombs and intimidation to pursue it's goals. As a teacher and dog lover, I'd enjoyed teaching Gary Paulsen's Woodsong (a work of FICTION, as is Winterdance ) and a unit on the Iditarod race for some time before it was brought to my attention that the race was controversial. Surprised and a bit horrified, thinking that I'd possibly been indirectly supporting something abusive, I began to research the subject, reading everything I could put my hands on ( reference list ), talking to both race critics and supporters, as well as those who've attended and competed in the race, plus using my own common sense. Then, in March 2000, I made the journey to Alaska (at my own expense) to check out things firsthand, returning in the summer and again for Iditarod 2001. My conclusions? While the Iditarod may not be perfect, no sport is, it isn’t the horror story its critics painted it to be, either. Others have done the same, including teachers Ann Morgan and Aarin Holmes. Attacked by activists prior to her trip, Morgan focused on their concerns and addresses them

   Extractions: Iditarod History Iditarod 2000 Alaska Rules of the Race The Dogs Sled and Gear After we watched the real Iditarod and learned about the dogs, gear, route, and preparations, we had our own "Cove Arctic Day". This was a day the students had to plan themselves, just like the mushers have to prepare for the real Iditarod. First, the children had to develop a route for the race. This route had to include six well placed checkpoints. Then, they had to plan who would be the musher between each checkpoint. Each student could only be the musher once. Next, they had to decide where their team wanted to take the mandatory layover and who would bring the food and drink to drop at that checkpoint. They needed to plan their team's sled and who would bring the equipment they decided they would need. And finally, they had to bring enough food for their team and the adult volunteers to add to the hot dogs our school cafeteria donated for our cookout after the race. What a lot of work and careful planning!!!
