HCR 24-SUPPORTING DOG MUSHING 8:06:31 AM CO-CHAIR NAGEAK announced that the first order of business would be HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 24, Recognizing, honoring, supporting, and encouraging support for dog mushing and dog mushers in the state. 8:07:41 AM JESSIE MILLER, Staff, Representative Neal Foster, Alaska State Legislature, provided the following testimony: With the first musher of the Iditarod Dog Sled Race into Nome just a few hours ago, it is fitting that we present this resolution. Dog mushing is the official sport of our state. Dog mushing helped to save many lives during the diphtheria epidemic of 1925 in Nome. Dog mushing brings thousands of Alaskans together every year to volunteer for various races, to cheer on its mushers, and to welcome the many more who come from out-of-state. We would ask the committee to support HCR 24 and recognize [the sport] as a past, present, and future culture of our state. 8:08:50 AM DIANA HAECKER stated that she is married to four-time Iditarod finisher, Nils Hahn, and is the mother of a budding musher, Lizzy Hahn, who is nine years old. She related that she is a reporter for the Nome Nugget and a musher. Four hours ago, Nome greeted the 2014 Iditarod champion under the burled arch, and even though she has photographed every winner since 2003 and is an avid musher, she always chokes up when the mushers arrive in Nome. These events epitomize the allure of Alaska, the dream of the north, and the greatness of its people, she said, and what these mushers endure captures the essence of legends. This resolution will help preserve the joy of mushing and its culture so her daughter and future generations will have the right to mush in this great state. The organizations that have passed this resolution in the last six months include the Willow Dog Mushers Association, the Willow Area Community Organization, the Pioneer Igloo Number 1 in Nome, the Nome Kennel Club, the Association of Village Presidents, and the entire body of the Alaska Federation of Natives. She thanked members for their consideration and said that she wishes she could adequately convey the joy and beauty that dog mushing brings to Alaska. In response to a question, she stated that Dallas Seavey won the race today. She related that musher Jeff King scratched because the winds were so horrendous. It puts people in fear every time the wind starts howling, and these world-class athletes just endured these winds, she stated. She added that Aliy Zirkle came in second, two minutes after Dallas Seavey, and she believes that Mitch Seavey arrived just a minute ago. REPRESENTATIVE REINBOLD thanked her for her passion and love of the sport. 8:12:46 AM CO-CHAIR NAGEAK closed public testimony on HCR 24. CO-CHAIR LEDOUX moved to report HCR 24 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal note. [Hearing no objections, HCR 24 was reported from the House Community and Regional Affairs Standing Committee.]
