Pig Roast at Sportsmen’s Chalet<br />
For the 16 th year, Gary and Laurel Frank of the Sportsmen’s Chalet hosted their annual pig roast fundraiser to benefit both the <strong>Bo</strong>-<strong>Bo</strong>en and<br />
New-Tom Snow Fleas <strong>Snowmobile</strong> <strong>Club</strong>s on Saturday, August 25th serving 146 people! After 16 years of hosting this event they have donated<br />
more than $100,000.00! Split-the-pot spins on the paddle wheel and drawings for special prizes were done in the afternoon. People were served<br />
a delicious roast pig supper, and afterward, the ticket drawings were conducted, including the $100 ticket raffle. The funds raised from the<br />
pig roast enabled Gary and Laurel to present a $3,040.00 check to our club. They would like to thank everyone who helped make the pig roast a<br />
huge success. Also thank you to the people that made all of the desserts.<br />
Thank you Gary & Laurel<br />

Notes from the Secretary’s Desk<br />
Where to begin…<br />
Our club has truly been blessed to have so many people in<br />
our little community who love snowmobiling! From our landowners<br />
who give us permission to use their land for our trails to<br />
business owners who support us thru monetary donations. We<br />
wouldn’t have the club and trail system that we have if it<br />
weren’t for the hard work of each and every one of us. Thank<br />
you to all who give so much!<br />
Our <strong>Snowmobile</strong> Safety Class will again be held in the Community<br />
Center on December 27th & 28th. Registration is required.<br />
Please see additional information on page 7 in the<br />
newsletter.<br />
Knocker’s Pizza Co. will again be hosting a <strong>Snowmobile</strong>r’s<br />
Breakfast on Sunday, January 29th for the club! This event will<br />
run in conjunction with the Women on Snow Weekend so come<br />
by car or by sled… it’s a great time for all!<br />

Trail <strong>Bo</strong>ss Report<br />
Man, how the time keeps flying by towards winter. Our<br />
new drag is in the barn ready to go. I have begun to contact<br />
drivers to confirm our staff for this upcoming season. So far, I<br />
have not been informed of any re-routes but surprises can<br />
always happen at the last minute.....let's keep our fingers<br />
crossed. Keep in mind our upcoming brushing day on Saturday,<br />
<strong>October</strong> 20th. We meet at the groomer barn at 9:00 am<br />
ready to work. A gathering that evening at 6 pm at Twilight<br />
Bar & Grill for their famous chicken dinner will reward everyone<br />
for their efforts . I would also like to announce that <strong>St</strong>eve<br />
Soltwedel has agreed to take over as our sign coordinator for<br />
the new season ahead. Thanks to <strong>St</strong>eve for stepping up and<br />
taking this responsibility. I know he will do a GREAT JOB!<br />
Hope your fall season has been enjoyable and healthy for<br />
you and your family. We’ve had our first snow of the season<br />
on September 18th, so it won’t be long now!<br />
Happy Trails…<br />
Jim Wendt
Who’s snow Prediction would you rather believe?<br />
Will Winter Return with a Vengeance?<br />
After a year of unprecedented warmth –<br />
both during the winter and summer<br />
months – the great debate over whether or<br />
not Old Man Winter will return with a<br />
vengeance is on.<br />
Last winter was the fourth warmest for the contiguous 48 since<br />
record keeping began in 1895, with 24 states experiencing belownormal<br />
precipitation. In fact, California experienced its second<br />
driest winter ever. In only 10 states—chiefly across the nation’s<br />
midsection— was winter precipitation above normal.<br />
The situation became critical this past spring and summer with<br />
broiling hot temperatures across much of the country and the most<br />
severe drought conditions the nation has seen in more than 50<br />
years.<br />
For the coming season, we’re predicting that winter will return to<br />
some – but not all – areas. We think it will be a “winter of contraries,<br />
as if Old Man Winter were cutting the country in half. The<br />
eastern half of the country will see plenty of cold and snow. The<br />
western half will experience relatively warm and dry condition. In<br />
other words, as in the political arena, the climate this winter will<br />
render us a nation divided.<br />
We predict that real winter weather will return to areas from the<br />
Great Lakes into the Northeast. Most eastern states – as far south<br />
as the Gulf Coast – will see snowier than normal conditions and<br />
cooler temperatures.<br />
We are “red flagging” February 12–15 and March 20–23 for major<br />
coastal storms along the Atlantic seaboard; storms bringing<br />
strong winds and heavy precipitation.<br />
But on the other side of the country, winter will continue its hiatus<br />
for another year. The forecast for west of the Continental Divide –<br />
the Pacific Northwest, desert Southwest, Pacific Coast – calls for<br />
mild temperatures and below-normal precipitation.<br />
For much of the drought-stricken prairie region, an average<br />
amount of winter precipitation will bring long awaited relief.<br />
Take a look at the map below to see what we’re predicting for<br />
your region, and don’t forget to pick up a copy of the 2013 Farmers’<br />
Almanac for a more detailed long range forecast.<br />
Forecasters predict below-normal snowfall<br />
this winter<br />
Gary Porter<br />
The lawns, street and sidewalk are mostly clear of snow in front of two<br />
houses near Jacobus Park on Cedar <strong>St</strong>. in February, one year after 20 inches<br />
of snowfall inundated the Milwaukee area. The <strong>2012</strong>-'13 winter outlook includes<br />
below-normal snowfall.<br />
By Sharif Durhams of the Journal Sentinel<br />
Aug. 15, <strong>2012</strong><br />
The verdict is in: Milwaukee will have another relatively warm, relatively<br />
low-snow winter.<br />
That's the best guess released Wednesday as part of the <strong>2012</strong>-'13<br />
winter outlook by the forecasting service Accuweather. Jeff Craven, a<br />
science operations officer at the National Weather Service in Sullivan,<br />
said the forecast for the Midwest jibes with the predictions the weather<br />
service has been making since last winter.<br />
Craven and the Accuweather forecasters base their predictions on a<br />
weak to moderate El Niño pattern that's expected this winter. El Niño<br />
patterns aren't the only factor that can determine seasonal precipitation<br />
and temperatures, but a break from a warmer and less snowy pattern<br />
would be an exception to the rule.<br />
"All things being equal, it looks like another subpar year for the crosscountry<br />
skiers and snowmobilers," Craven said.<br />

The Apple Dumplings are a group of men, mostly retired, but a few are still working, that snowmobile together every<br />
Wednesday during the season. It is an informal group so there are no dues or duties. Each Wednesday they leave from the<br />
groomer barn at 9:00 am sharp. All you have to do is show up. Coffee and socializing is usually available starting at<br />
8:15 am in the groomer barn. There is a contribution for each ride to pay for that day’s refreshments and lunch. The<br />
group has a Kick-off Dinner in November, a 3-day “overnighter” in January, a Potato Pancake Breakfast in February,<br />
and a Brunch at the end of the season.<br />

How Many Folks Visit Designated Wilderness?<br />
HASLETT, MI, SEPTEMBER 19, <strong>2012</strong>: There are many groups working in the United <strong>St</strong>ates attempting to designate<br />
more Wilderness Areas or “Wilderness <strong>St</strong>udy Areas.” If they are successful, we will have more land put aside in the<br />
United <strong>St</strong>ates that is seldom, if ever, visited by outdoor recreationists. The Wilderness Act became law in 1964 and<br />
defined Wilderness as “undeveloped federal land retaining its primeval character and influence. The natural forces<br />
prevail without man’s interference in Wilderness. Man is a visitor who doesn’t remain and his works are substantially<br />
unnoticeable.”<br />
The main focus of Wilderness Management is perpetuation of its Wilderness Character. Wilderness is a place where<br />
the natural forces prevail and fire is among those forces. The suppression of forest fires in the United <strong>St</strong>ates costs taxpayers<br />
$2.5 Billion annually. Fires also pump as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in a few weeks as automobiles<br />
and trucks do in an entire year.<br />
Here is some information regarding Designated Wilderness within the United <strong>St</strong>ates:<br />
The United <strong>St</strong>ates National Forest and Grasslands encompass approximately 193 million acres. Within these<br />
units there are 439 Designated Wilderness units comprising approximately 37 million acres or 19.2% of the<br />
US Forest System. These 439 Designated Wilderness units do not include millions of other acres designated<br />
as Wilderness <strong>St</strong>udy Areas or administratively managed as defacto Wilderness Areas.<br />
The Wilderness Act prohibits commercial enterprises, structures, roads or motorized equipment (i.e.: snowmobiles,<br />
ATV’s, chainsaws, bicycles, strollers, handcarts, etc.). Wilderness Visitation accounts for 3.3% of all<br />
total US Forest Service Recreation visits. Recent Forest Service data indicates there were a total of 199.7<br />
million recreation visits to the US Forests nationwide. In contrast, Designated Wilderness visits account for<br />
only 6.6 million visits.<br />
When interacting on Wilderness Designation issues, it is helpful to know that we presently have a lot of Designated<br />
Wilderness in the US and very few people visit Designated Wilderness areas. For information on visitation and use in<br />
our National Forests, you can visit the USFS web site: www.fs.fed.usda.gov .<br />

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br />
9:30 A.M. EDT, September 19, <strong>2012</strong>
ATTENTION<br />
NON-RESIDENT<br />
SNOWMOBILERS<br />
<strong>Snowmobile</strong>s bearing Wisconsin registration are not required<br />
to have a non-resident trail pass, even if the owner<br />
is from out of state.<br />
A two year Wisconsin registration is $30.00, compared to<br />
two trail passes at $70.00 for two years. Almost two times<br />
the money is generated with a two year registration as is<br />
with two trail passes due to the formula used to transfer<br />
gas tax revenue to the state snowmobile fund; the state<br />
snowmobile fund is where the money comes from for<br />
grooming and trail maintenance. By having Wisconsin registration<br />
instead of a trail pass, you save $40.00 every two<br />
years and contribute more money to the state fund.<br />
It is perfectly legal to have Wisconsin registration on your<br />
snowmobile in addition to your home state's registration.<br />
You do not need a Wisconsin address; your home address<br />
can be used for a Wisconsin registration. Once you have a<br />
Wisconsin registration, it can be renewed online at the DNR<br />
website. Wisconsin registration applications can be obtained<br />
at any DNR office, at any dealer who sells snowmobiles<br />
in Wisconsin, and at many dealers out of state near<br />
the Wisconsin border.<br />
