Home About Melanie Photo Album Dog Personals Donate/Contact Melanie Gould-Iditarod Dog Musher New! 2005 Iditarod Photos and Articles can be found here Dear Friends, Family, and Dog Lovers, As my team and I prepare for our 5th Iditarod Race, I’ve been thinking about why I’m driven to mush 1200 miles through the Alaskan Wilderness once again. I find myself in constant pursuit of truth and understanding, trying to figure out how I fit into a changing world. It seems that as society progresses, we have gradually left behind the natural order of things. On a global level, we have trouble recognizing our simple commonality as human beings. The thing is, while we focus on our differences, our basic needs remain the same. Throughout time, the goals of basic survival and some kind of inner peace have been superseded by our attachment to power and material possessions. And so we forget the symbiotic relation between nature and man. That’s why I mush to Nome; I don’t want to forget Being in the presence of a vast, majestic wilderness, the dogs and I look forward to facing the challenges of Mother Nature. I’m repeatedly humbled by the spirit, stamina and fortitude of the dogs. Leaving behind the modern world, the dogs and I embark on a long journey of self-realization and endurance. Out on the trail, life’s priorities become apparent, as do our strengths and weaknesses. The complications of “normal life” no longer exist, and their irrelevance to our basic survival is clear. We persevere through sore feet and icy winds, frozen noses from exhausted breath, and the sick stomachs of sleepless nights. Good attitude, food, water, and rest will bring us through anything. “Basic needs .”

Dancing With Dogs Feb. 12, 2000 To Those Who Ask, "Why? Since discovering that I'm going to Alaska in March to see the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, people keep coming up to me to ask, "Why?" Simple question, right? Wrong. I thought I knew, for the excitement of the race, but as I heard those empty words come out of my mouth, I realized, no, that isn't it. Maybe it’s or the sheer joy of being surrounded by dogs and dogs and more dogs? Getting closer, but still doesn't answer the question of why I, a person who openly admits to hating to fly, am going to get on an airplane and not only fly across the continent, but into a world very different from my comfortable Central Florida setting.Me, who has little cold weather clothing and lives to go barefoot, voluntarily visiting an environment where snow and ice reign. Oh, my, God, I'm going to Alaska! Ask the children, however, why they enjoy studying the Iditarod and you'll get a quick, direct answer: Because it's cool! You know, they may be right.Man vs. Nature in its most primitive form, with nothing save the dog team and the few items on a sled between musher and death by, well, whatever. Living in Florida, they're astonished to learn that it's the moose, not the wolf or bear, that strikes fear in the hearts of most mushers.Yet, the children are just as fascinated to learn what dog booties are made of and how in heaven's name you teach a dog to gee and haw.When they heard recently that a musher had been missing for days, their conversations ranged from "What did he have with him to eat?" to, "Why don't they carry flares?"

ILW: Classroom Resources: The Iditarod Dog Sled Race, Prepared By Judy Bernard to learn basic facts about the iditarod Dog Sled Race and the dog sled relay which Begin the unit by introducing the word iditarod to the children, http://www.uic.edu/depts/lib/projects/resources/ilw/classroom/iditarod.html

Classroom Resources Professional Resources Illinois Schools Education Data The Iditarod Dog Sled Race Prepared by Judy Bernard Learning Center Divison; Edgewood School Woodbridge, IL Dist. 68 Overall Intent: The overall intent of this unit is to help the students learn about the current Iditarod Dog Sled Race and it's history through a variety of activities. This annual race calls attention to Alaska's past and the sport of dog sled racing. A portion of the race follows part of the trail used during Alaska's Gold Rush in the 1880s. Another portion follows part of the trail used by dog sleds to deliver serum to Nome during the diphtheria epidemic of 1925. As culminating activities, students will role play the part of a musher and create free-verse poems or historical fiction stories about their role. Students will also debate some of the issues that surround the race. Objectives: Information will be presented through a variety of different media and activities, to give the students an opportunity: to learn basic facts about the Iditarod Dog Sled Race and the dog sled relay which delivered diphtheria serum to Nome, Alaska during the epidemic of 1925

Story Tools RELATED Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) For the first time in the history of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, officials have approved a detour because of a lack of snow on the normal route. The ceremonial start March 1 is still set for Anchorage but probably will be limited to 11 miles unless at least 6 inches of snow is on the ground. Unseasonably warm temperatures have melted much of the snow that's fallen in the area, and the start of the trail is marred by bare ground and spans of open rivers. Under a plan approved Tuesday, the restart will take place at 10 a.m. March 3 on the Chena River about a mile from the Fairbanks International Airport to give mushers time to drive their dog teams to Fairbanks, about 360 miles north of Anchorage. "It's the correct decision in light of the present circumstances," Iditarod President Rick Koch said of the unprecedented detour from the historic restart site in Wasilla. "It will provide a safe race trail for dog and human competitors."

The Web CNN.com Home Page World U.S. Weather ... Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Newsletters CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Warm weather forces sled dog race organizers to bring in snow A veterinarian gets a lick from a dog during a pre-race check up at Iditarod headquarters in Wasilla, Alaska, last year. Story Tools ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) The weather is so warm in Alaska that organizers of the Iditarod sled dog race are hauling in snow for its ceremonial start, then trucking the dogs north 360 miles to begin their run. The Anchorage-to-Nome course was moved to reduce the risk of the dogs falling through thin ice or slipping on melting snow. The mild winter has left Anchorage with only scattered piles of dirty snow and lots of muddy patches. After Saturday's ceremonial start in Anchorage, the 1,000 dogs will be driven to Fairbanks, where they will set off for real on Monday. Running the course usually takes nine to 12 days. The switch has animal rights activists fuming even more than usual. A race that they say is too long 1,100 miles is now even longer by 70 miles. "The move is simply to ensure that the race goes on, not that animals are not injured or killed," said Amy Rhodes, a spokeswoman for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
