Ask Libby Riddles. She can tell you. Libby became the first woman to win the Iditarod in 1985. Libby can also tell you how much work it is to train a team to win the Id it..:rod! Each year before the Iditarod the media speculates about who might win the race. In 1985, some people talked about howa woman MIGHT win the Iditarod, however, they probably weren't thinking about Libby Riddles. After all, Libby had only run the Iditarod twice before. Early Years Libby grew up in Minnesota with four sisters and two brothers. Therewere always animals around. Her special lovewas cats but the family dog was O.K., too. In fact, Libby says she didn't really get excited about dogs until shemet huskies. Mushing Career Libby began mushing in 1979, andran her first Iditarod in 1980. Even then, she had one special person who wassure that she couki place in the Top Twenty. That special person was Mary Riddles, Libby's mother. Mary saidthat Libby had been taught to do the best she could at whatever she decidedto do. Libby's mother added that while she didn't expect Libby to win the firsttime around, she knew that Libby would some day win as Libby would likely continue racing untilshe did win! Sure enough, Libby placed 18th in 1980, which isa very respectable showing fora rookie! Entering the Iditarod competitiona second time, Libby plwed 20th in 1981. Although she was proud of her earlysuccesses, she decided to wait several years before running the race again. Instead she worked hardto develop a winning team. Libby was living and training her team in Teller,a village north of Nome near the Bering Sea. Every day, she would train her dogsto run into the cold winds that blew in froin the Bering Sea. Thiswas very cold and hard work for Libby and her dogs! But her team learned torun into the coastal winds and ground blizzards. This was probably an important element in her ultimatesuccess, By 1985, Libby felt she was ready to run the race again.This tinte she had a team that included some dogs she had raised from pups.Many people think the dogs you raise yourself will work harder for you. She also had somedogs that were "coastal" dogs that had been raised and trained in the western coastof Alaska and were used to the strong, cold winds of that area. Libby won the 1985 Iditarod Sled Dog Race, but it wasn'teasy! There were many challenges to overcome. She saysher first potential problem was awashing machine in the trail near the garbage dump betweenAnchorage and Eagle River. Apparently, this washing machim caused several mushers tooverturn but Libby managed to keep lum sled upri3Itt when passing over it. Another early problem was a broken sled brake.Since there are no bridles, bits or reins to control dogs like there are withhorses, the only ways to control& dog teem are by using one's voice, a sledbrake, cragging your feet and/or turningthe sled over and making the dogs drag it untilthey get tired.

  • I Would Like to Add My Support to the Case for Rescinding Breed Specific Legislation in the State of Victoria. As Well As the Us
    Submission 199 I would like to add my support to the case for rescinding Breed Specific Legislation in the State of Victoria. As well as the usual objections, including that the scientific literature does not support BSL, that it is ineffective as well as inhumane, and that it blames a breed rather than a deed, I would like to draw attention to two perhaps unintended consequences of BSL that have a detrimental effect on society at large. • The requirement for restricted breed dogs to wear muzzles and collars identifying them as ‘dangerous’ whenever outside their property creates unwarranted fear in members of the public When encountering a dog that is muzzled, the natural assumption to make is that the dog is wearing the muzzle for a good reason, and to feel some degree of wariness. This reaction would be reinforced if the dog is also wearing a collar designed to warn people of potential danger. However, if the dog wearing these identifiers of risk has no history of aggression, then the requirement for it to wear these items whenever in public creates anxiety in members of the public who encounter it that serves no valid purpose whatsoever. This requirement to publicly label restricted breed dogs as indiscriminately threatening not only creates unjustified fear for the community, but also psychologically primes people to anticipate acts of aggression, which puts restricted breed dogs and their owners at risk. Say, for example, that a dog (of any breed) out on-leash with its owners is startled by a cyclist passing them at speed from behind without giving a warning of his/her approach, and reacts defensively by barking and/or lunging at the cyclist.

  • Team NZ Lead Luna Rossa in America's
    ARAB TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 2021 SPORTS 14 Team NZ lead Luna Rossa in America’s Cup Defenders move to match point AUCKLAND, New Zea- land, March 16, (AP): Match point Team New Zealand. The America’s Cup Defender beat Italian challenger Luna Rossa by 30 seconds in the only race that could be sailed Tues- day to move ahead 6-3 in the fi rst-to-seven-win series in Auckland. For the third race in a row, Team New Zealand came from behind to beat Luna Rossa, delivering a crushing blow to the morale of the Italian team which has been constantly competitive in the 36th America’s Cup match but plagued by bad luck or bad decisions. Luna Rossa led around the first four marks on the six-leg course but not by more than 9 seconds. On a day of light and shifty conditions, when the race course had to be set and re-set, Team New Zealand picked up a right shift on the last beat to snatch the lead and the race. Throughout the afternoon the breeze – sometimes full at 15 knots, at other times light and puffy at 7 knots – tracked from southwest to west and back on what is known as the Stadium Course. Course C is closest to the land of the five Cup course, overlooked by North Head and visible to traffic on Auckland’s busy Tamaki drive. SAILING The start of the second of the day’s two races was delayed as the breeze again flitted about, defying the match committee’s efforts to set a true course.

  • Iditarod National Historic Trail I Historic Overview — Robert King
    Iditarod National Historic Trail i Historic Overview — Robert King Introduction: Today’s Iditarod Trail, a symbol of frontier travel and once an important artery of Alaska’s winter commerce, served a string of mining camps, trading posts, and other settlements founded between 1880 and 1920, during Alaska’s Gold Rush Era. Alaska’s gold rushes were an extension of the American mining frontier that dates from colonial America and moved west to California with the gold discovery there in 1848. In each new territory, gold strikes had caused a surge in population, the establishment of a territorial government, and the development of a transportation system linking the goldfields with the rest of the nation. Alaska, too, followed through these same general stages. With the increase in gold production particularly in the later 1890s and early 1900s, the non-Native population boomed from 430 people in 1880 to some 36,400 in 1910. In 1912, President Taft signed the act creating the Territory of Alaska. At that time, the region’s 1 Iditarod National Historic Trail: Historic Overview transportation systems included a mixture of steamship and steamboat lines, railroads, wagon roads, and various cross-country trail including ones designed principally for winter time dogsled travel. Of the latter, the longest ran from Seward to Nome, and came to be called the Iditarod Trail. The Iditarod Trail today: The Iditarod trail, first commonly referred to as the Seward to Nome trail, was developed starting in 1908 in response to gold rush era needs. While marked off by an official government survey, in many places it followed preexisting Native trails of the Tanaina and Ingalik Indians in the Interior of Alaska.
