Neighborhood Danger Zones Warehousemen have always known that the potential for injury or even death lurks in highly stacked piles of merchandise. Now the public is painfully aware. In recent years, as retail warehouses proliferated, serious injuries and fatalities increased markedly.

This summer, a Connecticut man was killed when a 2,000-lb. pallet of landscaping timbers collapsed on him; in November, a bundle of latticework at a Los Angeles store fell on a 79-yearold woman, breaking many of her bones, inflicting fatal injuries; in May, a 3-year-old girl was killed when a countertop fell off a forklift, shattered, and sent splinters flying into her body. All three events occured in Home Depots. These are not isolated incidents, nor is this problem anything new.

In 1985, a 70-year-old Briscow, Ok., woman was killed in one of Wal-Mart's Sam's Club stores when boxes of fabric softener landed on her. In 1992, a 3-year-old girl died after a falling

door struck her at a San Diego, Ca., Home Depot.

In 1994, a 46-year-old woman was killed when a

3,000-lb. pallet of ceramic tile in a HomeBase collapsed on her. In 1996, at a Sam's Club in Abilene, Tx., a child died after a wardrobe toppled onto her. In 1991 , a 2-year old-girl was killed when a 100-pound tv cabinet fell on her. In 1998, a Home Depot official testified that the company received 185 injury claims per week involving falling merchandise.

The warehouse retailers assert that they have instituted safety procedures and that, given the millions of customers in their stores annually, the number of accidents is minimal. Depot spokeswoman Carol Schumacher says, "People should be aware that they are in a working warehouse.

You need to be aware of what's going on around you just like when you're driving a car."

We doubt public opinion will find that a satisfying response.

On the transportation front, NHLA reveals that the U.S. Department of Transportation is moving ahead with its plan to revise the Hours of Service (HOS) rules for truck drivers, which will adversely affect the delivery of wood fiber from the forest to the mill.

also by economics.

* Parquet flooring comes in standard patterns of 6"x 6" blocks.

Technology has introduced hardwood flooring in a diverse range of styles and price ranges. Yet all flooring is not created equal.

The main types include:

So[d Wood Solid wood flooring comes in three basic types:

* Strip flooring accounts for the majority of installations. Strips usual-

ly come 2-l/4" wide, but also in widths ranging from l-l/2" to 3-114".

They are installed by nailing to the subfloor.

Specialty patterns may range up to

36" square units. Parquet often

achieves dramatic geometric effects of special design patterns. Parquet can be glued to a variety of subfloor materials.

Solid wood floors can be installed on a concrete slab as long as the floor is on or above ground level. They can be sanded and refinished over several generations of use.

Solid wood flooring expands and

Finishing Lines Comparison ol wood flooring linishes by ih6 National Wood Flooring Association

installers compensate for this movement by leaving an expansion gap between the floor and the wall. Base moulding is the traditional "cover-up" for this gap.

Engineered Wood Engineered wood flooring is made of several layers of different woods or different grades of the same wood

cross-stacked and glued together under heat and pressure. Its greater dimensional stability allows it to be installed in areas where solid wood is not compatible due to moisture. above, on or below ground level.

engineered strip and plank can be nailed down, which requires a wood subfloor. Some with thicker top layers can be sanded up to three times.

Others can't be sanded at all.

Wood Laminates Wood laminate flooring features a plywood base topped with a layer of veneer. Plies and thicknesses varv. but most common is three-ply. 3/8"

Aside from its core, plastic laminate flooring isn't wood.

Synthetic/Plastic Laminates Aside from its core, plastic laminate flooring isn't wood. Usually l/2" thick, plastic laminate flooring

consists of a fiberboard center wrapped in top and bottom layers of high-pressure laminate-a tougher version of the same material used in many kitchen countertops. These floors cannot be sanded or refinished and must be removed when they wear

out. They usually come with 10- or I 5-year manulacturer warranties against fading, stains and wear.

Laminate flooring often comes as

"floating wood floors," which are glued to each other, with no direct attachment to the subfloor. They lit-

erally "float" above the subfloor, flooring, half as thick as the typical solid hardwood floor. The veneer

topping of wood laminate floors (commonly l/8" thick) can be sanded and refinished (at most, up to three times). Most manufacturer warTanties cover the finish for five years.

allowing the flooring to be installed in every level of the home and over most types of subfloors, as long as the subfloor is level and structurally sound.

Floating floors are manufactured in large panels with square or interlocking edges and ends, making installation faster and easier.

Hardwood Flooring vs. Laminates Laminate flooring has allowed

people to achieve the look of hardwood floors for a fraction of the cost. But, cautions the Hardwood Manufacturers Association, you get what you pay for.

HMA suggests that if customers look closely at an entire laminate floor, they'll notice that the faux "woodgrain" pattern

repeats itself. That's because syn-

thetic laminate flooring is actually a photograph of real wood stuck to a wood composite.

Laminates, HMA claims, don't sound like real wood either.

Walk across one, especially in

high heels. and you'll probably hear a more hollow sound than you would on real wood.

The printed wood image on laminate floors is extremely thin and when chipped, exposes the

fiberboard core of the panel.

And, unlike real wood, laminate floors can't be sanded and refinished.

When the laminate floor

wears out, it must be ripped up and thrown away.

The durability of real wood floors, on the other

hand, is determined by

its finish (see charts along bottom). Wellmaintained hardwood

floors

with

a

polyuretnane llnlsn are water-resistant, making

them suitable for kitchens and bathrooms.

Wood floors are envi-

ronmentally friendly, and they add to the value of a home. A recent survey

of real-estate agents estimates solid hardwood floors can add as much as $7,000 to $10.000 to a home's resale value.

Lam decking provides construction economies because it not only serves as an integral part of the structural system, but also as a finish surface. Also, wood is less expensive than a steel roof system because the steel would require drywalling lor fire protection.

Iiger ast time the Men in Bright warned you about the dangers of buying tutti-frutti pine - that unsavory mishmash of pine species in one shipment. Now it is the MiB's duty to protect you and your customers from the perils of tiger wood.

Lurking in that benign order for radiata pine mouldings may be a startling color and density variation known as tiger wood. Most radiatas mature in warm climates with a year-round growing season which encourages wide, hard, and dark winter growth rings - leaving you seeing stripes when contrasted with softer, lightel and brighter summer

Bridiata Pine comes from radiata grown in a special region of southern New Zealand where the winters are too cold to allow much groMh. Smaller winter rings combined with brighter summer rings give Bridiata a creamy white appearance and soft texture similar to ponderosa pine.

The MiB ensure Bridiata performs perfectly by cutting and drying it ourselves at our New Zealand sawmill using Dried Bright'" technology. Our experts in New Zealand and Oregon then craft the Bridiata Pine into beautiful nrouldinqs and millwork.

Builders FirstSource, Building Materials Holding Corp., Carolina Holdings, 84 Lumber, Lanoga Corp., Payless Cashways, and Wickes will fund the venture, which is open to all companies in the building supplies chain.

Members hope the venture will help standardize product descriptions

and transaction communications.

Initially, the e-marketplace will focus on buying lumber and related commodity wood products. Future phases are expected to include the pro-

curement of additional products, expanded membership to other dealers, mills and suppliers, the addition of value-added services, and the creation of an interface with builders and contractors, possibly including sales trans-

annual sales from more than 1,200 plants nationwide.

They expect to select technologY partners fbr the project by the end of the year.

A Woman's Place ls In D-l-Y Tools with smaller grips and gloves that accommodate long fingernails are just two examples of how the hard-

ware industry is cognizant of the growing female d-i-y market.

Roughly 387o of all home-improvement purchases in 1999 were made by

women, according to the American Hardware Manufacturers Association, a point not lost on retailers.

Lowe's, for instance, is redesigning

its stores to make them more appealing to women, who account for 50Vo of purchases, said spokeswoman Chris Ahearn.

"We have wider, brighter aisles and

we are clean and neat," she said.

"Plus, we have signage that is easy to read."

Lawn and garden products manul'acturers also have begun courting

female fixer-uppers by designing products to meet their needs.

One of them, Garden Pals, Mira Loma, Ca., has created lightweight gardening tools for women that the elderly and arthritis sufferers also can use.

"They wanted reduced-grip widths, stainless-steel blades that won't rust and locking mechanisms that can be operated with one hand," said Garden Pals' Victoria Addison, who noted that she relied on women for design tips for trowels, weeders and pruners.

Another firm, Midwest Quality Gloves, Chillicothe, Mo., has designed

longer, narrower, female-friendly work gloves with reinforced fingertips to protect fingernails.

According to home improvement tv

show host Ron Hazelton, many women lack the confidence to take on major projects such as knocking down walls, but are willing to do small jobs.

Still, that is bound to change. "Once they try plumbing and electrical work, they will find it is not rocket science," he said.

High Product lQ ls Key A survey of 203 Ace Hardware retailers revealed the importance of having friendly and knowledgeable

employees, particularly when it comes to retaining customers.

When asked, l07o of customers said a knowledgeable staff is the most

important reason why they continue

to shop at a particular store.

Conversely, 16Vo listed product pricing as their incentive to return.

Easily accessible and centrally

located stores also got the nod for repeat business, as did retailers that offered product variety and hard-to-

find items. Friendly, approachable sales people was another favorite, along with employee familiarity.

"With a multitude of available

shopping options, including those online, consumers are looking for stores that provide superior service," says Paula Erickson. an Ace consumer

Company Timber Town Sold Simpson Timber Co., Seattle, Wa., has sold its company-owned town of Samoa, Ca., to an undisclosed buyer

after a sealed-bid auction (see Aug., p.24).

The firm and the successful bidder will not divulge the buyer's identity until escrow closes, which should take about 60 days.

The prospective buyer has indicated that the town's historic identity will be preserved and that improvements will be made on many existing structures.

While devoid of stores, gas stations and a mayor, the 60-acre, 300-resident bayside hamlet does have 98 redwood-clad homes, an 11-room Victorian inn, 23,000 sq. ft. of commercial space and the popular Samoa Cookhouse, a two-story, 500-seat, logging camp-era dining hall.

Hammond Lumber operated the mills during the Depression and World War II, before selling the town to

Georgia-Pacific, which then spun ir off to LouisianaPacific in 1973.

Simpson acquired Samoa two years ago as part of a

Pacific.

Paperboard Supplier Sues G-P Caraustar Industries, Austrell, Ga., has filed suit against Georgia-Pacific for breach of contract, claiming reduced purchases of gypsum-wallboard paper will decrease and force the paperboard and packaging products maker to close its Camden. N.J.. mill.

According to Caraustar, G-P violated a contract requiring it to use Caraustar's paper products in its wallboard

manufacturing.

Caraustar said average sales to G-P, its largest customer, have fallen more than 807o since the first half of the year and are expected to drop further.

G-P has countersued, maintaining that Caraustar incorrectly characteized terms of the contract. G-P said the 10year contract, signed in 1996, requires it only to buy specific grades of paperboard-excluding products it makes

itself.

Restructuring Firm Expands lnto Acquisitions Pro dealer-focused restructuring specialists Clark Sherman Colvin, Inc., Salem, Or., has a new name and an expanded focus as a private invest-

ment firm.

Newly-renamed CSC Capital Partners, Ltd., will seek to acquire, restructure and consolidate under-performing pro dealers into a nationwide chain.

The company currently is explor-

ing opportunities in California,

Arizona. Tennessee. Florida and Pennsylvania.

Explains managing partner Clark

Colvin: "People don't appreciate the magnitude of opportunities existing for savvy investors who understand that an undervalued and under-managed, earnings-poor, commodity-oriented and incorrectly allocated assetbased industry is ripe for consolidation. Do things the other way around, and you can have an explosion in

companies have massive amounts of

non-productive assets. So, why pay for an acquisition using debt when you can liquidate non-productive or under-productive assets and pay cash?"

He says current acquisitions in the industry seem to suffer in strategic intent. "Acquirers," Colvin explains, "focus on growth for growth sake, and marketshare expansion without a

clear understanding of the debt service, distribution and low earnings risks associated with buyouts.

Restructurings oriented toward achieving economies of scale are clearly missing. The consequences of such ill-fated plans can be seen all across the country."

What is R^tfr,floo,/Z WWo/' is an unseasoned, prefinished

whitewood fence product, manufactured for environmentally conscious consumers who want a fence board that is factory finished at no cost to the environment.

The consumer-friendly prefi nishing process doesn't require special handling or disposal precautions. Like all products from Tubafor, R"t/^I,Woo/' is manufactured and individually graded to exacting standards, ensuring consistently exceptional quality.

'vVhitewood prouides an economical alternatiue to other fencing materials Quality graded to ensure uniform size, color and appearance

Prestained to saue installation time, labor and expense During the development of R;1hWoo/, Tubafor had one goal in mind: to produce a high quality, prefinished fence product at an affordable price, without compromising the environment. WWoa/ comes from the largest renewable softwood supply in the U.S.-the "working" forests of the Pacific Northwest, forests managed to balance the need for a sustainable yield of wood products with the needs of fish and wildlife. Wise use today equals resources for tomorrow.

tion. And attendees aren't top executives but rather salespeople and sales managers, the employees who do the actual trading. Strict rules ensure that the attendance isn't difuted (see attendance policy on page TM 6).

"It's a great opportunity," says Ted Roberts of Des Moines, Ia.-based Roberts & Dybdal, which operates l0 distribution centers throughout the Midwest. "It gives our traders the chance to interact with the manufacturers and

processors and discuss more efficient ways to distribute products."

The number of exhibitors also has grown, from 103 in 1996 to 157 in 1991,175 in 1998, and 236 last year.

Although the show is again being held at the Wyndham Anatole Hotel in Dallas, Tx., NAWLA has been able to rearrange the show floor to accommodate even more exhibitors. "We're adding 20-some booths to the main trade show floor," says NAWLA executive Nick Kent.

"Last year, we had to turn away several companies that wanted to exhibit, which disappointed them and us, and was unfortunate for our general attendees, who expect to see the optimum number of exhibitors."

E-Opportunities For Troders

This year's NAWLA Traders Market will tackle wholesale lumber e-commerce issues on numerous fionts with the addition of enhanced. cyber-related events.

At an expanded Cyber Connection exhibit area off the rnain exhibit hall, 30+ cyber-related companies will be on hand to discuss their products and services and suggest solutions to attendees' current e-commerce needs (,see li,st below und e.rhibit hall map on p. TM l4).

Attendees can even stay in touch with their customers and the office by checking their e-mail at two dedicated e-mail kiosks in the Cyber Connection.

As well. the day before the show opens, NAWLA is

holding an E-Commerce Forum. Questions to be

addressed include: How can doing business over the Internet help my cornpany? What is a portal? Who really buys and sells products via the Internet, anyway?

The day will begin with a videotape of the November l''National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors' satellite broadcast of "Success on the Internet: Real World Strategies for Wholesaler-Distributors." The video will feature successful wholesaler-distributors and industry

experts who will provide critical insight into strategies that can lead to business success on the Internet.

Following the video and a bufl'et luncheon, a panel of speakers representing many different models of e-commerce will be present to discuss/defend their particular products/services, including portals and auctions. The panel will include Ross Elliott, Buildnet; Keith Russell, ForestExpress.com; Jim Clarke, LumberNet.com; Arnold Kraft, e-Wood.com; Alain Chalifour, Scoopsofi.com, and Joe Perraton, Forestlndustry.com.

As a follow-up to the speakers panel, a roundtable

discussion will allow participants the chance to assess and fbrmulate their own "e-business" plans. Attendees will be able to engage in discussion regarding a business model that they would like to learn more about and discuss the pros and cons of a f'avorite model.

The all-day Nov. 2 seminar, which includes lunch, requires separate admission of $125 per registrant.

New Yard For New Year

did say that the business would close

Longtime Oregon developer and builder Bill Moody plans to open Junction City Home Improvement

Sept. 30.

Center in the town that bears its name around the beginning of 2001.

"I think this area can use a good retail lumberyard," he said.

The store will be built on the former site of a 7,200-sq. ft. farm equipment dealership, and also will have a 75,000 sq. ft. yard.

Moody and partner Pat Farr, a former local True Value general manager, plan extensive remodeling of the current structure, including constructing an addition and paving the parking lot.

Longtime ldaho Retailer Sold

After nearly 40 years in the retail

lumber and hardware business, Kent

and Deloroes Hobbs have sold Preston Lumber Co., Preston, Id., citing Kent's health problems.

"The business is doing very well,

but I've almost lost Kent twice this year for medical reasons," said

Deloroes. "I did not want to run this place by myself."

While her husband would not reveal the name of the new owners. he

"We're going to take a welldeserved vacation down the West Coast," he said. "The business will reopen Nov. I for a two-week period under new ownership with the same name. After the 15th, the new owners

will decide what their plans are for the business."

"We'd like to see another lumber yard go back in," said Deloroes, "especially in the plumbing line, because we've been one of the biggest

suppliers for Preston in the plumbing

line."

She said that the building that houses Preston Lumber was owned at one time by Kent's great-great-grandfather, who operated a dance hall on the premises.

In 1904, Overland Lumber opened

on the site, followed by Preston Lumber, which was founded in 1938

by R.J. McCaslin, who, according to Deloroes, owned yards in Idaho, Nevada and Oregon.

Kent Hobbs said that he began working at the yard not long after their 1968 wedding, and that his wife started shortly thereafter. The couple purchased the business in 1975.

Injured Employee Wins Case A former Home Depot worker who allegedly suffered severe electric shock while operating a forklift was awarded $880,000 in a lawsuit against the distributor of the equipment. Larry Cundieff has not returned to work at the San Diego, Ca., store since sustaining the injury two years ago.

Distributor W.T. Billards, Santa Fe Springs, Ca., was ordered to pay the judgment, although Cundieff also is seeking $30,000 from Home Depot to cover medical and disability costs.

New Coatings E-Marketplace A new online marketplace is being launched for the powder coatings industry.

Designed to streamline transac-

tions and ease communication between buyers and sellers, Coatings-

Mart reportedly offers over 500 prod-

ucts from such manufacturers as Valspar, Morton Powder Coatings, Ferro and Nordson. Plans are to expand into other industrial and specialty coating products.

On www.coatingsmart.com, registered buyers can search an electronic

catalog, place orders from multiple suppliers and check shipment status.

Cautious Lumber And Panel Forecast

Builders Look Up to Disdero Lock-Deck Laminated Deckitg

Deck House, lnc. photo: usww.deckhouse.com

More builders and homeowners are looking up to the warm aesthetics of Lock-Deck wood interiors.

This T&G laminated wood decking combines a structural roof system and a handsome finish surface.

The furring, sheathing and finishing often required with steel or other materials is eliminated, meaning faster construction at lower cost.

It's available in six and eight inch widths as well as two, three, four and five inch thicknesses. LockDeck is dry, strong, and bonded with a waterproof adhesive.

OcroBER 2000

North American lumber and structural wood panel production is expected to decline somewhat in 2001, while LVL and wood l-joist output will increase, according to APA-The Engineered Wood Association and the Southern Forest Products Association. Both predict high oil prices and the Fed's desire to keep inflation in check will keep the economy from growing too fast.

The increased market growth of the past two years in remodeling and nonresidential construction is forecast to decrease as well due to slower job growth and higher interest rates. In turn, single and multifamily starts should slip from 1.58 million this year to 1.45 million in 2002, with current levels returning in 2005.

Single-family units each consume on average 14,200bd. ft. of lumber and 11,600 sq. ft. of structural panels (3/8" basis), while 5,540 bd. ft. of lumber and about 4,000 sq. ft. of structural panels are used per multifamily unit.

The weakening of the dollar and the expected recovery

of European and eastern Asia economies should increase exports, partially offsetting the declines in housing starts.

Europe, Japan, Mexico and the Caribbean account for threefourths of all North American lumber and panel exports.

While raw materials are expected to be sufficient, rising timber costs have hit the South especially hard. In the West, continued environmental restrictions on public and private timber, coupled with increased use of private timber supplies will lead to tighter western timber supplies over the next five years. Conversely, Canadian forests should continue to meet softwood lumber producers' needs, not withstanding new environmental legislation or other factors.

North American lumber production is forecast to decline 2Vo next year from 65.7 billion bd ft. to 64.5 billion, and to 63.3 billion bd. ft. in 2002,before increasing to 68.1 billion bd. ft. in 2005. U.S. production is expected to be 34.6 billion bd. ft. in 2001, with Canadian production at 29.9 btllion. While Canada exports almost two-thirds of its lumber production, the U.S. should consume 54 billion bd. ft. of lumber next year, of which 19.5 billion ft. will be imported.

Structural panel production in North America is expected to slip 2.37o to 39.1 billion sq. ft. (3/8" basis), with U.S. output at 2l.l billion ft., and Canada I 1.4 billion. OSB our put should exceed plywood production by about 1.2 billion bd. ft., growing to approximately 2.7 billion ft.by 2002 and approaching 9.6 billion three years later, when North American totals could reach 42 billion sq. ft.

Glulam timber production is forecast to be 355 million bd. ft. in 2001 for North America, increasing to 372 million ft. by 2002, and achieving a record high of about 475 million ft. by 2005. The increase will be largely influenced by the economic recovery of Japan, the glulam industry's largest export market. Another factor will be the increased use of glulams in place of solid sawn timbers. Total glulam exports should reach 25 billion bd. ft. this year, 35 million ft.by 2002 and about 45 million ft. by 2005.

Wood I-joist production is expected to continue to rise as more builders become familiar with the product and switch from lumber. This year's production is forecast to be 940 million linear ft. and to increase about 67o annually through 2005 to 1.4 billion linear ft. I-joists account for roughly 387o of the raised wood floor market, and are expected to total 557oby 2005.

Lastly, LVL production is forecast to reach 54.5 million cubic ft. this year, and to continue to rise annually to 74

million ft. in 2005.

0l il', The Latest Poles Show Woodpeckers Hate Us! Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of wilv woodpeckers and cunning carpenter ants like CHEMONTIE@ (a.k.a. ACZA). By penetrating wood through pressure treatment, CHEMONTIE protects wood from damage caused by blistering beaks and boring bugs.

Tested in the field, CHEMOMIE treated poles have been proven to incur 7L% less woodpecker damage than other treated poles.* Laboratory results have shown that CHEMOIYITE is also extremely effective in preventing and repelling the attack of carpenter ants.**

Carpenter Ants WAIK OFF The Job! o

In addition, CHEMONTrE protects wood against marine borers, temites and decay, and is in accordance with EPA and ArWPA standards.

CHEMONTIE 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!

electronically. Builder members do a take-off, submit it via the exchange over the Internet, and receive a quote

from one or more member suppliers indicating availability, pricing and delivery information. Buyer members could then place an order, take delivery, be invoiced and make payments online.

Many also have plans for a universal catalog database of building product items, but developing and maintaining such a database is a daunting and expensive task. When in place, this catalog will facilitate the placing of orders online and the forwarding of the transaction documents to both the buyer's and seller's back-end systems.

Of course, exchange participation comes at a cost. Most have a monthly or annual price structure based on the

customer transactions are expected to begin flowing through that interface, to and from both exchanges, as early as this month.

But exactly which exchange communities are best and which will pros-

per is difficult to say. It may be a combination of two or three. It's likely niche exchanges will begin popping up soon, such as roofing.com or

millwork.com to target the specific

contractor level. Users will need to determine which of these can benefit the majority of their customers.

Now, Supply One says it will close some or all of its seven other units unless it can quickly secure buyers or financing. The remaining locations are in Lake Tahoe, Reno and Sparks, Nv.; Lake Tahoe, Ca., and Klamath Falls, Grants Pass and Gresham, Or.

"AWI's new logo is a straightforward and strong image of the industry it represents," said outgoing president Bruce Cody. "The circles in the new icon reflect the shape of trees, the fundamental resource from which AWI's members' products are made, while the lines are architectural in nature, reflecting the end product of our industry-finely crafted woodwork."

"The shapes within the icon," Cody added, "also suggest the tools used to shape and craft woodwork products."

The AWI Quality Certification Program trademark also has been updated to incorporate the revised national logo.

David A. Davis, 53, former operator of the now-defunct Valley Home Improvement Center, Burbank, Ca., died in an automobile accident Aug. 26 in West Knoxville, Tn.

A native of Glendale, Ca., he became a contractor at l9 and ran Valley Home Improvement Center until 1978, when he moved to Colonial. Tn.. and started Colonial Construction, a homebuilding firm.

At the time of his death, he reportedly was driving a 2000 Ford Explor-

er equipped with Firestone tires. police said, although authorities said

the vehicle ran off the road and flipped several times. He reportedly

was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle.

Sam J. Tarantino, 76, retired general manager, Tynan Lumber, Salinas, Ca., died Sept. 14 in Monterey, Ca. A lifelong resident of Monterey, he served as a radioman first class in the U.S. Navy from 1943-1946 and was

the general manager of Tynan

Lumber for 47 years.

He was a member of the Hoo-Hoo Club.

AF&PA Exec's Letter On Track Member company chief executives

of the American Forest & Paper Association urged that increased rail competition be placed on next year's Congressional agenda in a letter to Sen. John McCain (R-Az.), chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee.

The letter claimed that current policies permit railroads to "prevent competitive access to terminals, main-

tain monopolies through'bottleneck pricing,' and hamper the growth of viable short line and regional railroads through 'paper barriers."'

The letter also stated that the Surface Transportation Board "continues to adhere to policies that hamper rail competition," despite the fact that major North American railroads are poised for additional consolidation.

Inadequate competition is being blamed for delays in rail transit time, a particularly troublesome and expen-

sive issue for the forest products industry, which heavily depends upon timely product shipments and deliveries.

While noting that 1980's Staggers Act sought to replace government regulation of railroads with market competition, the letter said that Class I railroads have declined from 30 in l9l6 to seven today.

Chief executives from 63 member

companies signed the letter, a joint

effort of AF&PA, the American

Chemistry Council, Edison Electric Institute, the National Rural Electric

Cooperative Association and the American Public Power Association.

Now all quality inspected pressure treated wood has one thing in common... cltEct( [Ent lon Tilt iltnx

The CheckMark Quality Assurance Identification Program for Tfeated Wood.

To meet the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, treated wood must be identified by the quality mark of an accredited American Lumber Standard Committee inspection agency. In the West, five agencies are authorized under the ALSC Treated Wood Program to inspect treated wood. However, each agency has its own unique mark and is located in different positions on the stamp or end-tag making it difficult

to find or recognize. But, not any longer.

Now, to find the inspection agency's quality mark, simply look for the CheckMark logo, and it's right there. Very simple. Whether the mark is on the stamp or the front or back of the tag, now it is easy to find. Just check for it.
