To Woodpeckers and Carpenter Mb, ACZA is a Four-Letter Word.
The Latest Poles Show Woodpeckers Hate Us!
Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of wily woodpeckers and cunning carpenter ants like CHEMONTIE@ (a.k.a. ACZA). By penetrating wood o through pressufe treatment, CHEMONTIE protects wood from damage caused by blistering beaks and boring bugs.
Tested in the field, CHEMOI\IITE treated poles have been proven to incur7l% less woodpecker damage than other treated poles.* Laboratory results have shown that CHEMOMTT is also extremely effective in preventing and repelling the attack of carpenter ants.**
yAtK OFF The Job!
In addition, cHEMoNTfE pfotects wood against marine borers, termites and decay, and is in accordance with EPA and A'WPA standards.
CHEMONIIE does not effect wood's workability or strength, and actually increases its fire resistance.
So, add a new four-letter word to your vocabulary...your wood will be glad you did!

"At the same time this company was preparing to celebrate its 5Oth anniversary, the Clinton/Gore political machine came to town and yanked the banner of honesty and hard work out from under us."
- Glen Duysen, Sequoia Forest Industries, on the forced closure of its Dinuba. Ca.. mill
Clinton Edict Shutters Mill
Sequoia Forest Industries is closing its 50-year-old Dinuba, Ca., mill, citing President Clinton's recent establishment of the Giant Sequoia National Monument.
The business handed its 105 workers "last day" notices May ll, less than a month after Clinton ordered the formation of a national monument that prohibits commercial timber sales on 355,000 acres of the Sequoia
National Forest, leaving enough Forest Service timber for only a single mill to operate.
Soon after the announcements, someone nailed up a large hand-painted sign in front of the mill's office: "Clinton-Gore Closed This Business."
"This is one of the most painful decisions our family has ever had to make," said owner Glen Duysen. "For most of our employees, these are the only jobs they've ever had."
While the Duysen family's other mill, Sierra Forest Products, Terra Bella, Ca., will continue to operate, layoffs in Dinuba begin next month. The pallet operation is scheduled to close July 9, the sawmill luly 15-24, the bark operation Aug. 23, and the planer mill Sept. 5-15.

Redlands, Ca., office. Nelson Sembach (909\792-9509 owns the land and building occupied by the store, wanted Goodman Lumber to make $l million in renovations to accommodate development of an adjacent site she had purchased.
Goodman, who said his $1 million annual rent was recently increased, called the renovations costly and impractical, claiming he would lose a significant portion of the retail area and would have to separate the indoor and outdoor nurseries by a block.
"Our closure is purely a business decision," he said. "I haven't been able to sleep in a month."
The longtime retail veteran said he has been helping his employees find other jobs, asserting that he has "put together a good severance package for them."
While employees and customers expressed their sorrow about the firm's demise, opinions differ amongst the siblings as to who was responsible for the end of the busiNESS.
The impending closure will not affect 45-year-old Goodman Building Supply Co., Mill Valley, Ca., which is a separate entity and is under different ownership.
