Q Why did Kevin Eubanks leave The Tonight Show With Jay Leno? What’s he doing now?—Darlene Young, Cocolalla, Idaho

Eubanks, 53, parted ways with Leno after 18 years last year because, he says, “I felt like I wanted to play some more music and travel around the world again and see some things I missed seeing. It had nothing at all to do with not enjoying what I was doing.” In November, the jazz guitarist released his latest CD, Zen Food, and he is set to play April 8 at New Jersey’s Cape May Jazz Festival.

McCarthy?—Shayna Brown,

Des Moines, Iowa

Yes. The two are cousins

who grew up together in Illinois, in what Melissa, 40, calls a “big Irish Catholic family with lots of Chicago

cops.” Both live in California now, but they don’t often socialize. As

Melissa points out, “We are both busy moms. She is with [son] Evan and I have two kids. I work and go home and see my kids and my husband.”

Q What’s going on with Louie Anderson, who hosted Family Feud for a time? Does he have a family?

—Helen Forshay, Plattsburgh, N.Y.

Anderson, 57, who was married briefly in the 1980s but has since been single, performs five nights a week in Las Vegas, Nev., at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino.

“It’s a family show. I do a lot about food,” says the comic who is working on a video blog, Diary of a Fatman, which deals with

his struggle to lose weight. “I come from a highly addictive family. I look at my addiction to food as the final frontier,” says the comedian, who grew up with 10 brothers and sisters in Minneapolis.

Q What was Dean Martin’s first movie? —Mary Rogers, Raleigh, N.C.

The Stubenville, Ohio, native made his movie debut alongside Jerry Lewis in the 1949 comedy My Friend Irma.

Every three minutes another person falls behind on credit card debt. It’s no wonder, since every major credit card company has nearly doubled the minimum monthly payment on consumers’ bills. Federal Regulators forced the change because of their concern about the growing mountain of consumer debt, which stands at $2.17 trillion. Many consumers can only pay the minimum payment, which can take up to 30 years to pay off. Now, relief is in sight for millions of Americans.

CreditGUARD of America, a non-profit licensed debt management service provider, is making a new program available to lower debt payments and become free of all credit card debt in only three to five years. Consumers need only $2,000 or more in total credit card debt and behind on any account, to cut their payment by 35% to 50%, and reduce or eliminate interest charges altogether.

Over 200,000 families, located throughout the U.S. have regained financial independence with CreditGUARD’s licensed, bonded and insured service. CreditGUARD of America has received high marks in consumer surveys showing high consumer satisfaction and confidence. The CreditGUARD debt management program can actually turn a person’s life around.

One such case is Sandra L. who proclaimed “CreditGUARD cut my monthly payment by $656 and saved me over $29,206.53 in interest. They saved my way of life and gave me back my piece of mind! Now I can see myself on my way to becoming debt free.” or Jeffery C. who said “CreditGUARD of America helped me consolidate 3 of my credit cards into one affordable payment. They are now saving me nearly $200 a month. Now I will be debt free in 2 years or less” Certified Credit Counselors at CreditGUARD of America provide Debt Relief Consultations at no charge, when you call 1-800-836-2504.

// In 2005, Dallas Seavey became the youngest musher to complete the 1,049-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.PAGE 6 • A M E R I C A N P R O F I L E .CO M

DALLAS SEAVEY, 23, walks into the kennel at the WildRide Sled Dog Rodeo in Anchorage, Alaska, and fastens a leash to one of his favorite teammates, Tater, a 3-year-old cinnamon-colored Alaskan husky that was born to run.

“He has a very good chance of running with me this year. He’s very young, but he’s an incredible athlete,” says Seavey, a third-generation musher who at age 18 became the youngest person to complete the 1,049-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.

In Alaska, the Seavey family is synonymous with dogsledding. Dallas’ grandfather Dan raced in the inaugural Iditarod in 1973, and his father, Mitch, has competed 17 times in the grueling marathon from Anchorage to Nome, winning the acclaimed race in 2004.

On March 5, Mitch and Dallas are expected to hit the rugged, snow-covered Iditarod Trail again, in hopes that their athletic canines and dogged determination pull them across the finish line in nine days or less.

“I’m in it to win,” says Mitch, 51, who has helped raise and train 20 generations of the family’s sled dogs. “I find I can’t fully appreciate the Iditarod unless I’m in it to win.”

Dogsledding dynastyDogsledding has been part of the Seaveys’ way of life since

Dan and his wife, Shirley, moved in 1963 from Minnesota to Seward, Alaska (pop. 2,830), to pursue a job—and adventure—in the Last Frontier.

“We used the dogs to haul wood and water in the winter,” recalls Dan, 73, a retired high school teacher and wrestling coach.

“And to haul moose out of the woods,” adds Shirley, 71, explaining how her husband fed his family of five in the early days.

tradition

In 1973, Dan and a group of dedicated dogsledders helped Joe Redington Sr., the Father of the Iditarod, put their love of mushing to the test when they organized the first long-distance race from Anchorage to the frozen Bering Sea.

“Most people thought we wouldn’t get to Nome when we started out,” recalls Dan, noting that many people had forgotten that dogsleds had hauled freight, mail and prospectors to Alaska’s remote gold mining camps in the early 1900s.

Dan, who today is a member of the Iditarod Trail Committee, finished the first two Iditarod races, placing third and fifth, respectively, and when his son, Mitch, began competing in the sport, it was the beginning of the Seavey family’s dogsledding dynasty.

“I’ve literally lived in a dog pack since I was 4 or 5 years old, as have my kids,” says Mitch, who lives in Sterling, Alaska (pop. 4,705), with his wife, Janine, 52, and their sled dogs.

Three of Mitch’s four sons—Danny, 28, Tyrell, 26, and Dallas—have completed the Iditarod. In 2001, Danny joined his father and grandfather to become the first three-generation family to finish the celebrated race together, and Dallas’ wife, Jennifer, 23, ran the race in 2009. The youngest Seavey, 14-year-old Conway, will compete with the family’s sled dogs this winter, racing in the 160-mile Junior Iditarod.

Year-round sleddingWhen the Seaveys aren’t dogsledding,

they’re sharing the sport with others interested in learning about—and experiencing—the mushing lifestyle.

Soon after the winter racing season is over, the Seaveys offer dogsled shows and tours. From May through September, the Seaveys and a 40-member staff keep 200 sled dogs conditioned by taking guests on rides across an alpine glacier near Girdwood, Alaska, and on wheeled-cart tours through the spruce forest in Seward. The family also offers kennel tours and a comedic, action-packed Iditarod-themed dinner show in Anchorage where the hardworking sled dogs and their cuddly pups are the main attraction.

“It didn’t occur to people that we could mush in the summertime,” says Mitch, noting that his father pioneered dogsled demonstrations at their home in Seward in the 1980s.

The Seaveys’ summer tours and shows provide the family with income to feed, care for and train their dogs; buy sleds, winter clothing and gear; transport the mushers and their 16-dog teams; and pay entrance fees to

as many as 10 races each winter.“It’s a perfect fit,” says Danny Seavey, 28,

manager of IdidaRide Sled Dog Tours in Seward. “We make money all summer and spend it all winter.”

Driven to raceAfter nearly 50 years of owning, training

and racing Alaskan huskies, the Seaveys are

recognized as expert dog breeders, knowledgeable dogsledders and staunch competitors. They’re as comfortable driving a sled dog team through a blinding blizzard and camping in subzero temperatures as most people are driving a car to a roadside motel in a raging rainstorm.

“I like being out in the middle of nowhere with sled dogs,” says Dallas, adding that learning to tolerate pain and overcoming hardships along the trail are what make the sport rewarding.

Dallas’ father, Mitch, plans to continue mushing as long as he remains competitive and can endure traveling long distances without sleep over frozen, unforgiving terrain in brutal winter weather.

“I’m still extremely fit and healthy, and every year I become a better musher,” he says, noting that sleep

deprivation and fatigue are the greatest challenges along the trail.

Last year, Dallas finished the Iditarod in eighth place, edging out his father who came in 10th. While a friendly father-son rivalry exists between the Seaveys, Mitch says he’s proud that his sons have

followed in his sled tracks, and he’s certain Dallas will win the Iditarod if he keeps racing.

“I’d like nothing better than to be racing neck-to-neck with him coming down the coast to Nome,” Mitch says. “In that scenario, I’d feel like a winner regardless of the outcome.” ★

BEFORE introducing a pet to your household, take a few precautions to make sure your home is animal-friendly. Here are some ways to make your abode safe and hazard-free for your dog or cat:

• Keep medicines in a locked cabinet or on a high shelf, and alert guests who may have medicines to keep them secure. “The National Animal Poison Control Center receives the most calls about human drugs inadvertently ingested by animals,” says Deborah Lee Pickett, a veterinarian in Burnsville, Pa.

• Keep all chemicals in a locked cabinet. Common hazards include ethylene glycol antifreeze, paint thinners, drain cleaners, insecticides, mothballs, fabric softener sheets and garden products such as fertilizers.

• Some plants are toxic

to pets, including lilies, tulip bulbs, sago palms, poinsettias, philodendrons, daffodils and azaleas. Keep them out of reach or don’t have them at all.

• Restrict access to foods that can be poisonous to pets, including chocolate, yeast, grapes, onions, raisins, Macadamia nuts, alcohol, and products such as gum that contain the sweetener xylitol.

• Cover electrical outlets and remove cords that can be chewed. Keep toilet lids and dryer doors shut. If your cat jumps, screen windows and secure lamps, pictures and collectibles. Don’t leave hot irons or stove burners unattended.

• “When you’re done pet-proofing, get down on your hands and knees and go through your house to see what you may have

overlooked,” advises Paris Parmenter, of DogTipper.com.

If you suspect your pet has ingested a toxic item, call your vet immediately, Pickett says. Symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhea, profound lethargy and

severe uncoordination. You also can call the Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435. Visit the website aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control to learn more about protecting your pet from poisonous substances. ★
