Changes at the mill are im portant because of the number of families on the reservation who are affected: There are 136 full-time workers at the mill. In 2006 WSFPI struggled with one of the weakest lum ber markets in recent years. As a result, the WSFPI board imple mented significant cost-saving changes, such as a reduction in overtime, elimination of an in centives program, and changes in health coverage. A new general manager also took over at W SFPI during 2006. Larry Potts announced his resignation, and is replaced by new general manager Mark Jackson, who has several years experience working in the tim ber and natural resource fields. The plan for an eventual change in m anagement was adopted about two years ago, and Jack- son was named to the succes sor role by the WSFPI board and Tribal Council. Page 3 When the River Ran Wild!
