Conferences In Cyberspace

Did you miss the Nov. 2 forestry conference in Beaverton, Or., or the Nov. 7-8 wood residue conference in British Columbia? Not to worry, the meetings are still going on in cyberspace.

Those unable to physically attend the conferences will have access over the next few months to "virtual conferences" over the World Wide Web. The conference speakers were recorded and their audio presentations converted to digital files. A Web user is now able to click on a list of conference speakers and listen to one or all of them. The user can also follow the audio with a printed transcript.

By early December, users will be able to view a multimedia presentation similar to a slide show from their computer monitor. Conference papers, charts and graphs will be posted on the Web page to allow users to collect additional data. Users can also post questions or comments.

"Virtual conferences offer an opportunity for users to obtain information from conferences without having to spend thousands of dollars for travel and time expenses," said Martin Desmond, president of ForestNet. "Our company will be pushing the technological envelope to make virtual conferences a cost-effective mechanism to transmit information in our increasingly busy world."

The conferences can be reached via the Internet at http://www.forestnet. com/log&saw.html and http://www. forestnet. com/westfor/wfc a. html.

Depot Aids Local Community

Christmas came early for Beulah Ames and Eugene Plumb when the Home Depot, Covina, Ca., agreed to revamp their home.

As part of a companywide "Team Depot" program, stores donate the materials and employees volunteer their time to revamping homes in their communities for the less fortunate.

The 187 employees of the Covina store agreed that for five weeks those who had Thursday off would work on the $4,000+ renovation, which included a new roof, floors, cabinets, toilets and fixtures.

"We have people from all departments, each doing what they can to help someone who needs help," said store mgr. Peter Malis.

"It's a blessing," said Ames, 65, who has suffered a heart attack and cancer in recent years.

Manville Sheds Name, Division

Manville Corp., Denver, Co., is changing its name to Schuller International Group Inc. to distance itself from its asbestos products that spurred massive litigation and a Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the 1980s.

"We want the Manville name to disappear in history," said ceo Thomas Stephens.

The name change should occur in the first quarter after the sale of its 81.37o stake in Riverwood International is finalized. It reflects that its sole holding after the sale will be its Schuller unit, which makes building products.

Manville also will change its relationship with the trust set up to handle health-related asbestos claims, exchanging additional Manville stock for the trust to drop its claim to a portion of Manville's profits.

Near Sale Reenergizes Serra

Ganahl Lumber Co., Anaheim, Ca., had just acquired Capistrano Lumber, Capistrano Beach, Ca., and wanted to complement it by purchasing nearby Serra Lumber Co.'s inventory and leasing the store and its acre ofland.

Serra owner Norm Clow notified employees and suppliers he was about to close shop, let his inventory dwindle down, then two weeks before the deal was to close, he changed his mind.

Clow said the near sale "woke us all up. You get complacent after being here for so long. We're refocusing - everyone's excited about building up the business."

The firm will move away from providing lumber for the framer and refocus on small contractors, selling custom doors and windows, masonry and landscaping materials, and deck and patio supplies.
