International Voyageurs Snowmobile Club, Jan. 8: Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday to help pack down the trail from the Black River road to the Northern connection.

Memoriam In loving memory of our dear father and grandfather, Jack Faulkner, who passed away Jan. 18, 2001. God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree; The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea. The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night; The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle’s flight. Then God combined these qualities,There was nothing more to add; His masterpiece was now complete, He lovingly called it Dad. Sadly missed and loved by Rick and Lou Anne Matt, Meghann and Sam, grandchildren Gabriella, great-granchild
