Just give me a minute and i will go count up my pennies ... lol

About 500,000 acres of land, a sawmill & a co-gen plant should'nt put much of a dent in my pocket money  :D

just what we dont need another mill closing. did they truck most of the paper into the states? if so the freight didnt help them compete.

most was shipped by boat or put in containers .... the mill had an oceanfront view so shipment by boat was easy ... 49% of the mill is owned by the Washington Post newspaper

when the real ferry used to run from yarmoth to bar harbour there was a ton of trailers on there. was woundering how it was shipped. wife works for a fairly large trucking co they haul a lot of paper out of maine and water and whatever else there is

Yes you are right !  The New Orleans newspaper that had been in business now for 170 years is now going to a 3 day operation versus 7 days a week.
