Mill looks toward better rest of the year
War m Springs Forest
Products Industries had a
rough time in May. The mill
had to shut down for two
weeks because of a shortage
of logs.
The workers were back on
the job Tuesday. With any
luck there won’t have to be
another shutdown at least
until winter.
What happened was the
snowstorm early this year:
The logging roads were un-
usable for a few months, af-
ter the region saw a major
weather event in January and
February. And the mill ran
out of logs in May, forcing
the shutdown.
For the rest of the year
the forecast is better, accord-
ing to a Tribal Council report
last week.
The mill ended 2013 with
a supply of logs from the
reservation that were in-
tended to keep the mill op-
erating without an extended
layoff for the first part of
2014.
They accomplished this,
but the region then saw the
snowstorm. There were no
log deliveries in March, April

Peaceful Spirit Outing next week

Mill workers back on the job Tuesday morning.
or May.
The mill employs about
120 people, mostly tribal
members.
For the rest of the year the
perfor mance at the mill
should improve, with more
logs available from off the
reservation, according to the
Council report.
A predictable and reliable
supply of timber, and better
road conditions, among other
strategies, are needed to
make the mill a viable long-
term venture, according to
the report last week.
The Peaceful Spirit Out-
ing – Honoring Our Wounded
Warriors through Fly Fishing
and Cultural Sharing is
planned for next Friday-Sun-
day, June 6-8 at Lower Dry
