Sawmill Files Bankruptcy

Helsel Lumber Mill, Duncansville, Pa., has filed for Chapter I I bankruptcy protection. The company once did business between $6 to $8 billion annually, much of it in China.

The company sought protection of the bankruptcy court in an effort to protect the company's assets until there is a turnaround in the demand for wood. "We don't plan to open in the near future. The markets are still depressed," said president Charles E. Salyards Jr.

The bankruptcy petition lists estimated assets between $1 million and $10 million, and liabilities between $1 million and $10 million. It also indi- ucts manufacturer Good Ideas Inc., Lake City, Pa. Alan Mcllvain III, operations mgr., Alan Mcllvain Co., Marcus Hook, Pa., married Gretchen Ann Mahlmann Aug. 15 in Philadelphia, Pa. cates the company owes its top 20 creditors about $2.5 million.

Morris Knotenuff is the new sales mgr. at Mungus-Fungus Forest Products, Climax, Nv., according to co-owners Hugh Mungus and Freddy Fungus.

One of these creditors is the Pennsylvania Game Commission, which filed a lawsuit against Helsel seeking nearly $300,000 in lost revenue. According to the commission. it hired Helsel to thin out several game lands in the area and Helsel agreed to a certain price to acquire the wood.

When the market for hardwood plummeted in 2008, the company could not afford to pay the state for the wood. The state rebid the contracts, received much less for the wood, and sued Helsel for the difference between the original and rebid contracts.
