MERRILL - When most people see flashing red lights, they pull over.
Lincoln county deputies are looking for a motorcycle rider who didn't.
A Cafe Racer bike flew down highway 51 around 7pm last night going 84 miles per hour.
A deputy south of Tomahawk tried to pull the driver over, but the biker took off at over 100 miles an hour. For safety reasons, the deputy did not start a chase.
ANTIGO - Most of us waited eagerly for spring so we could start our summer hobbies.
But farmers wait for spring so they can get to work.
John Schroeder runs a potato farm in Antigo.
He says the late spring could mean a bad harvest for crops like alfalfa, but potatoes should be just fine.
"It generally started a little wet and cold, he said. "We were probably three or four days behind planting right now, but we had a good week last week, so we're catching up."
MERRILL - A Rhinelander man died in an ATV crash in Lincoln County this weekend.
The Sheriff's Office responded to a crash just after 6 Saturday night in the town of Harrison.
49-year old Randy Romenesko appeared to have lost control of his ATV and crashed into a tree. He was taken to Ministry Good Samaritan Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police say Romenesko was wearing a helmet but wasn't properly secured. Speed may have been a factor, but police believe alcohol was not.
