Larry Westlake Page 3 of 86 INTRODUCTION THE IDITAROD You can’t compare it to any other competitive event in the world! A Race of approximately 975 miles of the roughest, most beautiful terrain Mother Nature has to offer. She throws jagged mountain ranges, frozen rivers, dense forests, desolate tundra and miles of windswept coast at the mushers and their dog teams. (Note: As of 2012 the Northern Route distance is approximately 975 miles. In prior years the distance was always over 1,000 miles. Three things factor into this adjustment: 1) The change in the Ceremonial Start (running from downtown Anchorage to Campbell Airstrip instead of Eagle River); 2) The change of the Restart location from Wasilla to Willow (loss of the Wasilla-Knik-Susitna River and some Yentna River mileage), and; 3) The actual year to year trail

  • 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.

    Trøndelag Forskning og Utvikling Innherred Seniorforum BA Trøndelag R&O Institute PROSÆKTBESKRIVELSE: Undersøkelser blant seniorene i Inderøy, Verdal, Levanger, Frosta, Mosvik, Steinkjer og Verran. Bakgrunn Innherred Seniorforum BA(ISFo) er en organisasjon som skal dekke opplæringsbehov og etablere møteplasser som ivaretar faglige, sosiale, kulturelle og helsemessige behov hos seniorgruppen i de fire kommunene Frosta, Inderøy, Levanger og Verdal. Forumet har som hovedmål å forbedre og berike tilværelsen for seniorgruppen, og bidra til livsvekst for denne gruppen. Seniorgruppen defineres som alle innbyggere over 55 år. Et BA er et andelslag som bygger på samvirkeselskapsforrnen. Deltakernes ansvar for selskapet er begrenset til innskuddet i selskapet. Andelstegning koster i dag kr 350, og gir et livsvarig medlemskap. Laget eies og drives av andelseierne i henhold til vedtekter og de retningslinjer for drift som årsmøtet fastsetter. Per i dag har ISFo ca 370 medlemmer og er en voksende organisasjon. Det gjennomføres i dag mange ulike tiltak som er med på å nå målene til forumet: seniorkino, datakurs, seniortreff, seniorturer, reiser, skrivekurs og lignende. ISFo har ingen dokumentasjon på at det er de riktige tiltakene som arrangeres. Tiltakene er utviklet av styret, men er ikke behovsprøvd. "Eldrebølgen" - Dobbelt så mange eldre i 2015 De nærmeste årene vil antall eldre flate ut - før det kommer en "boom" relativt brått på. Problemstillingen er derfor ikke påtrengende i kommunale planer som er lagt fram mot år 2010. Men fra 2015 begynner det, og vil deretter bare øke i omfang. I 2015 er det snakk om dobbelt så mange eldre som i dag, viser utregninger basert på folketallsprognosene til Statistisk sentralbyrå.
