echnically speaking, the Builders and the Butchers have never been an Anchorage band. But given all the bands that have left Alaska to better their chanc- es of success, the deh nition of "local band sometimes
gets a little fuzzy here. Ior examples, see Iortugal. The Man, the Hoons or the scattered personnel in 3
Crazyh sts. Bo while Anchorage`s claim on the Builders might
be tenuous, the band`s shows still manage to feel a bit like a
homecoming. Irontman Byan Bollee cut his musical teeth here in the
punk band the Born Losers before the group relocated to Iort-
land, Ore., a decade ago. The Losers ground it out for a few
years before folding, with Bollee moving in a different direction
with his new band. (The Born Losers recently reunited for a
one-off show in Iortland, and Bollee said there are plans to re-
cord a new album in Iebruary.) The Builders and the Butchers were born in the streets as
a busking folk group, and over the course of h ve full-lengths
they`ve honed a dark Americana sound that props up tales of
bloodlust and humankind doing terrible things a country/
Western-ish framework of murder ballads and Bouthern Coth-
ic grit. But the Builders ipped the script a bit on last year`s
"Western Medicine, which takes the band`s hallmarks and
dresses them up with cinematic ourishes (there`s still plen-
ty of blood).

Having clung to the Bussians as go-to vil- lains long after the Cold War thawed, the mov- ies h nd themselves current again with their fa- vorite arch-enemy. Cooling Busso-American relations have yielded an opening for the return of Tom Clan- cy`s CIA analyst, |ust in time for the Bochi Olympics. In the Jack Byan reboot, ''Jack By- an: Bhadow Becruit,`` Chris Iine takes over as the spy who was played by Alec Baldwin ("The Hunt for Bed October), Harrison Iord ("Ia- triot Cames,`` ''Clear and Iresent Danger) and Ben Af eck ("The Bum of All Iears). It`s a decent legacy of a dark-haired, in- tellectual action hero. Byan is a navigator of murky, reasonably realistic, international es- pionage worlds. He has neither James Bond`s preternatural suavity nor Jason Bourne`s vis- ceral butt-kicking skills, but instead anxiously h nds his way with patriotic cunning.
''Bhadow Becruit,`` which was scripted with- out a Clancy book by Adam Cozad and Da- vid Koepp, tells a new backstory for Byan. In- spired by Bept. 11, he |oins the Marines and is heroically in|ured in Afghanistan. During his recovery, he meets his eventual h ancee (a doctor named Cathy played by Keira Knight- ley) and is lured to the CIA by a mysterious re- cruiter (Kevin Costner, unconvincingly trying to exude a Donald Butherland-like gravitas). He`s covertly embedded at a Wall Btreet bank where he uncovers a Bussian plot to buy up U.B. Treasury bonds, which he suspects will be sold off in a coordinated act of terrorism and currency devaluation. Burely, if Bonald Beagan (whose endorsement of Clancy`s h rst novel, ''The Hunt for Bed October,`` propelled his fame) was still around, he`d swoon over a spy thriller based on the harrowing threat of in ation.

COLLECTOR PIN & BUTTON ARTISTS
2014 Pin Artist:
Tara Gildow
Tara was born in Anchorage, Alaska, and raised on stories from the Iditarod Trail and Shannon
Cartwright illustrations. She graduated from Diamond High School in 2000, and went on to
pursue a bachelor of fne art in painting from the Pacifc Northwest College of Art in Portland,
OR. She is currently happy to fnger paint side-by-side with her 2 year old, Olivia.
In 1996, she won the Fur Rondy booster button contest which she thought was pretty much
the coolest thing to happen to her, until she won the 2014 pin contest. She chose for her design
a representation of the states fossil, the woolly mammoth. It was not a tough decision to work
with this image for her, as she has often pondered life in Alaskas distant past, imagining the
state overrun with lions, horses, mammoths, and short-faced bears.
Tara spends most of her time daydreaming about working on her next art projects, as well as
teaching her daughter about the beauty of Botticelli, the grandeur of the Cretaceous, and the
fner points of making a cardboard fort.
2014 Booster Button Designer:
Alex Pouzanov
Alex is 10 years old and he attends 4th Grade at Turnagain
Elementary School in Anchorage. He knew about the Booster
Button Contest Competition from a fyer posted at his school.
Alex was born in Alaska and speaks fuent Russian. This summer
he worked in the Saturday Kids Market and enjoyed visiting a
native art booth. Alex developed a love for native art, bone
carvings, handmade dolls, yo-yos. Alexs designs depicts
Eskimo children and the northern lights.
About Rondy Pins and Buttons

Overview
Begun in 1946 as part of Fur Rondy, the World Championship Sled Dog Races
have become a cornerstone event of the festival. Mushers from all over Alaska,
the nation, and the world participate for the title of fastest sprint mushing team.
The race is held over three days; the fastest total time recorded wins.
Countless people and entities support this race: The Municipality of Anchorage
supplies police offcers, snow fencing, and snow placement and removal for the
street portion. The Alaskan Sled Dog & Racing Association, or ASDRA, grooms
and sets snow fencing for the other 21 miles of trails. Fur Rondy raises the purse
and promotes the race. ASDRA volunteers manage and operate the race.
Sponsors also support the race.
2014 purse: $50,000
All races start at noon at 4th Ave. & D St.

The trail follows 4th Ave. east to Cordova St. where mushers turn south. At the
bottom of Cordova Hill the trail moves to the bike/ski trails along Anchorages
greenbelt. Here the teams are challenged by long dark culverts under the
Seward Highway and Lake Otis Parkway. The trail has two large pedestrian
overpasses over Northern Lights Blvd. and Tudor Road separated by a trail
through a popular dog park. Six miles into the trail the teams hit the designated
sled dog trails of Tozier Track. Fourteen miles later the trail again heads back
across the Tudor Road pedestrian overpass to downtown Anchorage.

Be a Good Spectator
Find a good viewpoint behind the trail edge.
Teams leave at one or two minute intervals and often
are closely spaced. Faster teams may have even
passed a competitor.
Look for dogs running well with their heads and tails
down showing concentration on their effort. Tug lines will
be tight. Be aware that sudden movements or fashbulbs
may startle dogs and break their concentration. You will
see the head and tail go up if this occurs.
Mushers will only ask for help if needed. Dogs often are shy
of unfamiliar people.
Getting entangled in a dog team can be very hazardous for you
and the dogs.
A dog team traveling at up to 20mph takes up to 50 feet to come to
a stop.
Sled dogs run very quietly. You may not know they are coming until
you hear, Trail! or worse, you are entangled in the lines because
the musher could not see around a corner.
Your pet dog will not enjoy watching sled dog racing events. A fast
moving team will frighten most dogs. They also are a distraction to
the racing or training dog team. Do not bring your family pets to dog
mushing events.

50 2014 ANCHORAGE FUR RENDEZVOUS www.furrondy.net
There are fewer people capable of throwing a 90mph fastball than there are
CEOs of fortune 500 companies. In a similar way there are few dogs that have the
physical and mental attributes it takes to be a competitive Fur Rondy sled dog. Each
arm of the sled dog sport poses its own set of challenges for the canine athletes
that compete in them. Distance dogs must have legendary stamina and steel-like
mind sets to survive the grueling hours and environmental extremes they face in
their races. On the other end of the spectrum, limited
class sprint dogs reach white knuckle speeds for short
distances. If we compare the performance of these
dogs with the physiological limits nature has set for the
canine athlete we can begin to appreciate the prowess
of the Fur Rondy dog.
Distance racing dogs, while working for hours on
end; generally work between 40 and 60% of their
maximal capacity. Limited class sprint dogs work at
90-95% of maximal capacity for 12- 30 minutes at
a time. Dogs competing in the Fur Rondy are asked to
maintain intensities similar to limited class sprint dogs,
around 90% of maximum, for around an hour and a
half. This combination of speed and endurance makes
the selection criteria for these athletes very narrow
indeed. If you want to put numbers on all this compare a
Rondy dog to one of the best human athletes of all time,
Lance Armstrong. When you try to defne the limits of
performance the measurement most often used is the
maximal rate of oxygen consumption or VO2 max.
This give you an idea of the amount of sustainable power
output an athlete is capable of producing each minute per
unit of body weight. Lance Armstrong has one of the highest VO2 max measurements
ever recorded in a human at 82 ml/kg/min. I have measured several of the dogs
running in my team and most have a VO2 max of about 240 ml/kg/min. That means
that dogs competing in the Fur Rondy can burn oxygen at three times the rate that
Lance Armstrong can. I tell people this is why we ride on the sled and they pull it!
These superb athletes did not appear by chance. Each Fur Rondy dog is the
product of tens of generations of an intensive breeding and selection process.
This process began in villages along the river and costal regions of Alaska and
has continued to evolve today with the introduction of European bloodlines. The
focus of these breeding programs has been the creation of a dog with a unique
combination of speed and endurance and a mind capable of navigating the
challenges of the urban Anchorage trail system. This last component is no small
feat; in fact the Rondy has been referred to as the steeple chase of dog mushing.
Teams pass through 8 culverts multiple foot bridges, and even 4 and 6 lane
highways on elevated pedestrian bridges. Add to that
crowds of people, trailside barbeques, loose dogs, kids
throwing snowballs, school children cheering and over 2
miles of on the street racing and you have an event that
not only taxes the body but challenges the mind of even
the most seasoned athlete. To do well in the Rondy truly is
the pinnacle of dog mushing. Successful teams conquer
what is likely the toughest combination of physical and
mental tests in the sport. Other races may go further or
require more peak speed but no race combines the
speed over distance with the mental challenges of the
Rondy. This is why the Rondy has been used by all other
arms of the sport as the source of breeding stock.
Nearly all dogs running in the Iditarod can trace their
origins back to dogs from Fur Rondy teams. This is also
true for mid-distance and limited class sprint teams.
While no one can argue that it takes a great
dog to compete in these other arenas of the Dog
Mushing World, the truth is the very best athletes run
down 4th avenue for three days in a row on the last
weekend in February. If you ever wonder why there are
fewer teams running competitively in the Rondy than in
long distance, mid-distance, or limited class sprint races remember the statement
from the beginning of this article. There are fewer dogs that have the athletic
prowess to run nearly 20 mph for 90 minutes than there are that can run really
far for a long time or really fast for a short time. Like the 90 mph pitcher, the elite
Rondy dog is a rare and gifted athlete.

Anchorages annual Fur Rendezvous celebrates its 79th year
in 2014. National Geographic calls it the best winter festival
in the world. Alaskans call it Rondy for short, because, really,
who can spell ren-dez-vous?
Begun as a three-day event in 1935 to coincide with the arrival
of miners and trappers selling their bounty in town, Rondy has
blossomed into a ten-day festival for kids of all ages. Contests
and culture, sled dog races and snow sculptures, fur auctions
and freworksRondy has something for everyone!
Brave Anchorage in February, run with the reindeer, have a
Rondy Brew or two. We dare you!
