Anderson Shutters ldaho Yard

Anderson Lumber has closed its Twin Falls, Id., lumberyard after months of falling sales and staff reductions.

Although the store closed its doors May 17, the yard continued to fulfill orders to contractors for several weeks.

"We just closed the doors to walk-in trade on May 17," said Lyle Partridge, regional mgr. for Idaho, Washington and Montana. "We didn't want to hang somebody out to dry in the middle of a job."

Anderson officials said that its roof trusses built in Idaho Falls, Id., are still being sold in the Twin Falls market.

Local observers said the closure was the result of a crowded retail market. Home Depot opened in Twin Falls in April2000.

The building has been put up for sale. Partridge suggested that the company may return to Twin Falls as a smaller contractor yard some day.

The closure leaves the Ketchum store as the only Anderson yard in south-central Idaho. In 2000 the Rupert, Id., satellite was folded into the Twin Falls location.

PWP To Restart Plant With Alternative Treatments

Pacific Wood Preserving of Oregon this month at one of the West Coast's anticipates production will begin later largest wood treating plants.

A subsidiary of Pacific Wood

Preserving of Bakersfield, Ca., PWPO purchased the wood treating assets of Taylor Lumber & Treating, Sheridan, Or., out of bankruptcy liquidation, in cooperation with creditors and the Environmental Protection Agency.

"This acquisition is an example of how private enterprise and the government can work together to save the taxpayers money," said PWP president Dick Jackson.

Jackson said his company would convert the facility from treating utility poles into a production facility specializing in environmentally progressive treated wood products, including poles, lumber and timbers. Pole production is expected to begin as early as June 15 and lumber production as early as July l.

PWPO has purchased and will install a new lumber incisor, lumber handling equipment, two large steel buildings for lumber storage, and will complete a variety of other modifications to the plant to convert it from a pole operation to a combination pole and lumber treating facility.

As part of the deal structure and in addition to monies that went to PaY creditors, the EPA received $500,000 and PWPO agreed to operate a storm water cleaning system and extraction well monitoring and cleaning system, two costly operations which would have otherwise been the responsibility of the EPA, funded by taxpayers. PWPO estimates its assumPtion of these duties will save the taxpayers $4 to $6 million over the next 20 years. Additionally, the company agreed not to treat with traditional wood preservatives at the site, including CCA, pentachlorophenol, creosote and ACZA.

Bob Halderman, who worked Previously for Sierra Pacific Lumber at its Lincoln, Camino and Hayfork sawmills, will manage the new plant.
