KENAI -- Musher Tim Osmar of Ninilchik will serve as Rachael Scdoris' "visual interpreter" for next year's Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
The 20-year-old woman from Bend, Ore., who is legally blind, will be embarking on her second attempt to get to Nome. She got to Eagle Island in the 2005 Iditarod -- a distance of 731 miles -- before calling it quits because her dogs were sick.
