President's Message<br />
Well, it seems that autumn summer<br />
has departed and the days and nights<br />
are becoming cooler. Hopefully the<br />
wind will die down as well and not<br />
negate our brushing efforts several<br />
weekends ago. George Langley tells us<br />
that Musky and Walleye fishing will be<br />
at its peak but what we really care<br />
about is snow, snow and snow. We are<br />
due for a great year and hopefully this<br />
is going to be the one.<br />
On Tuesday, October 11, 2011 fortysix<br />
club members attended our general<br />
monthly club meeting at Fibber’s<br />
Restaurant. A fantastic meal was provided<br />
by Rob & Kaye Manthei and<br />
their staff. Kaye Schultz thanks everyone<br />
for getting their reservations in<br />
early. This makes her job a lot easier.<br />
Our Trail Brushing took place on<br />
Saturday, October 15, 2011. Twentyfive<br />
members showed up at 9 am<br />
dined on a spread of coffee & donuts<br />
and set-off unto the trails. The brushing<br />
work was completed by noon without<br />
any serious work or injuries. A<br />
follow up pizza dinner was held at<br />
6:30 pm at the Twilight Bar & Grill for<br />
all the workers. Free drinks were<br />
served from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. Thank<br />
you <strong>St</strong>eve, Shelia and Tara for your<br />
great support of our club and the excellent<br />
repast.<br />
Trail <strong>Bo</strong>ss, Jim Wendt, reported that<br />
we are up and ready to let the snow<br />
fly. The construction of the bridge<br />
over the Rainbow Flowage is underway<br />
and will be completed before December<br />
1, 2011.<br />
Roger Klein of the Apple Dumpling<br />
Gang reports they have a dinner<br />
meeting for those interested on Saturday,<br />
November 5, 2011 at the Clearview<br />
Supper <strong>Club</strong>. Anyone interested<br />

Trail <strong>Bo</strong>ss Report<br />
Things really seem to be coming together. Work on our new<br />
bridge across the Rainbow Flowage is progressing on schedule.<br />
All this points to an on-schedule completion around mid<br />
November. Our club brushing day was another great success.<br />
We had 25 members show up to work on our trails.<br />
These folks worked hard and were rewarded with a great meal<br />
at Twilight Bar & Grill. Our sincere THANKS to <strong>St</strong>eve Pulec for<br />
the pizza. <strong>St</strong>eve, once again, showed his highest commitment<br />
to our club with his support and encouragement. THANKS<br />
STEVE!!!!<br />
We have figured out the re-route of our corridor 15 north trail<br />
around the Maplewood subdivision. Two private landowners<br />
closed this trail due to irresponsible snowmobilers. I only wish<br />
I would have had the opportunity to police the situation and<br />
work with our trail assistance folks to keep an eye on that<br />
area. I don't believe it was our <strong>Bo</strong>-<strong>Bo</strong>en members. Please do<br />
what you can to help police our trail system - we can't afford to<br />
lose trails because of irresponsible acts on private property.<br />
Everything else seems to be coming together as we get<br />
closer to trial opening. Get that iron ready—it won't be long<br />
now!<br />
Happy Trails—Jim<br />

Notes from the Secretary<br />
As I write this column, snowflakes have been<br />
spotted around the area so I know snowmobiling<br />
season is right around the corner.<br />
Ski-doo has changed the way they want us to<br />
sign up for the Ski-doo Million $ <strong>Club</strong> Support Program.<br />
Please go online to http://en-us.ski-doo.com/<br />
clubsupport2011/Home.aspx to complete the certificate.<br />
They will then mail back to you a certificate to take to our<br />
local Ski-doo dealers. Our club has the opportunity to generate<br />
an additional $1,500! If you do not have internet and<br />
would like to help the club with this fundraising opportunity,<br />
please call me and I will enter your information for you.<br />
Hurry… program ends November 15th!<br />
See you at an event soon…<br />

Weber’s Bar Donation<br />
Our club received another much appreciated $200 donation<br />
from Karen <strong>St</strong>ecker of Weber's Bar & Animal Park to help continue<br />
our efforts of keeping our trails groomed. Thank you very much<br />
Karen.<br />
Ongoing Appreciation<br />
As our snowmobile season's come and go, our club receives memberships<br />
and donations from singles and families that do not snowmobile<br />
anymore. These are mostly past snowmobilers and/or local<br />
business owners that enjoyed the sport and realize the important<br />
role that it still has on our town’s businesses and economy. So at this<br />
time, on behalf of the board and all members a SPECIAL REC-<br />
OGNITION & THANK YOU for your continued support of our<br />
club.<br />

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

New Member Application<br />
2011-12
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 />

Highway J Memorial <strong>Snowmobile</strong> Bridge<br />
Construction has begun on the Highway J Memorial <strong>Snowmobile</strong> Bridge. The site has been cleared and<br />
the pilings are beginning to be put in. We have been told the bridge will be ready to go when the snowmobile<br />
season kicks off. Our thanks to Bev Dittmar who is a long standing <strong>Bo</strong>-<strong>Bo</strong>en <strong>Club</strong> member and <strong>Bo</strong>ard<br />
Member who also sits on the Governor’s Council helped to facilitate this much needed bridge which will<br />
now keep us connected without having to use private property to get over the Rainbow Flowage. We would<br />
also like to thank the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Germain</strong> Chamber who donated $3,000 to the bridge project which was our<br />
share of the construction costs. Those monies were raised thru the Room Tax here in <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Germain</strong>.
