Sumfeten,
While our snowbanks melt from
the bottom, the frequent snow
squalls keep them prettily white on
the upper surface and the moun­
tains gleaming in the sun breaks.
Snow squalls mean wind,
though, and on Thursday, March
24, a good-sized ponderosa was
felled from the root ball up (photo
by Nancy Myers). The tree
blocked Ibex Street at Auburn and
pulled power lines right out of the
transformer that serves much of the
northern part of town. It took the
OTEC lineman about five hours to
arrive, clear the lines and tree, and
restore power to the final home.

to find them. We would like to

the show.
Diane will be remembered for her selflessness, her kindness, her warm

was blessed because I was loved by you, I am everything I am, because
you loved me.”
She was preceded in death by her parents Gerard and Edna Dupont.
