The county mill workers workers are plenty angry on their own.’ – LYNDA MCCLURE, of SEIU on health insurance premium increases off work until market revives By BEN BROWN The Daily Journal In another sign of the darkening economic times, Harwood Products closed the doors to its sawmills temporarily at the beginning of the year. Art Harwood, president and CEO of the 50- year-old lumber company, said a change in market conditions, fueled in part by the sub- prime mortgage crisis, has slowed the lumber industry and forced Harwood Products’ tempo- rary closure. “It was probably a big part, actually,” he said. The price of lumber has dropped substantially in recent months, Harwood said some of the problem was likely caused by a lumber market that was unsustainable. “We’ve got the worst lumber markets anyone can remember,” he said. Harwood Products was founded in 1950 and employs 270 people. Harwood said the company has been forced to temporarily lay off 200 of its employees until it can reopen the mill. According to its Web site, Harwood pro- duces 130 million board feet of lumber per year and has annual sales of more than $65 million. Harwood Products is a medium sized sawmill that works in a niche market, custom cutting redwood and Douglas fir lumber. In 1991, Harwood Products began a program of aggressive expansion, spending $20 million to add tools to the existing sawmill and upgrade infrastructure.

THE LEARNING CHALLENGER by Robert Barnett

DIRECTIONS: A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells. B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the letters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.
