Members of the Langlade County sled dog club meet on most Saturdays with dozens of yelping, tail-wagging dogs. They are practicing for competitive dog sled sprint races at the Crooker Hills sled dog trails, east of Antigo. For 4 to 12 miles, the dogs run as fast as they can. And these dogs can run fast.
Club President, Jamie Perry, got hooked on the sport when she was just 14 and by the time she graduated from high school she had 21 sled dogs. Today she runs a kennel and travels each weekend to practice or race with her 12-year-old daughter, who also races. Perry’s kennel is unique in that they do race with Siberian Huskies. Perry explains that today’s sport is dominated by other breeds.

Fairground boss Lawrence Hill had an affair with victim Simon Perry s wife before they married several years ago, but resentments remained and, when both men were in the Spread Eagle pub at Kearsley one evening they went outside to sort matters out . But Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard how, after talking for several minutes in the car park behind the pub, Hill began to walk away before suddenly turning and hitting Mr Perry hard, with what Robert Elias, prosecuting, described as a haymaker punch .

GARRISON – Pleasure found in enjoying the outdoors, along with getting some wonderful exercise, are just two of the many reasons for a growing list of enthusiasts that have discovered fat tire biking.
Fat tire bikes are just what their title implies. Tires are much, much wider than what is commonly found on conventional bicycles – three and one-half to five inches wide. The big tires have an aggressive tread and are made to perform in the snow. Or, more properly, on top of it.
