P&T Wins Filing Extension

Pope & Talbot, Portland, Or., has won a 75-day extension to file an exclusive Chapter l1 liquidation plan and solicit approval votes without the threat of rival plans.

The court gave P&T until June 2 to file and until July 30 to get votes, allowing the company time to complete asset sales and negotiate terms of liquidation with its creditors.

In January, International Forest Products won court permission to buy three of P&T's lumber mills and related assets for $69 million. In February, Indonesia's PT Pindo Deli Pulp & Paper Mills, an affiliate of Sinar Mas Group, won court approval to purchase P&T's paper business for $105 million.

Both sales are expected to close in early April.

Recovery Predicted For 2009

Western mills should see signs of recovery in 2009, although this year could be the worst since World War II for new construction, according to a new forecast from the Western Wood Products Association.

"The next three or four quarters are going to be shaky for the U.S. economy," said WWPA economist Kevin Binam. "Housing is just going to limp along until foreclosures subside and the mess in the financial markets is cleaned up."

Lumber production at western mills is forecast to slip by 11.57o this year, ro l4.l billion bd. ft. This would be the lowest since 1982, when just 13.7 billion bd. ft. was produced in the West.

Housing starts for 2009 are forecast at 1.17 million. with lumber demand ar 41.7 billion bd. ft. "After this year, the worst should be behind us," said Binam. "The slow recovery for housing and lumber markets should continue for the balance of this decade."

More Green At Parr

Parr Lumber, Hillsboro, Or., has completed a green remodel of its store in northwest Portland, Or., and plans to remodel its other 27 stores in Oregon and Washington to make them more sustainable.

Originally opened in 1946 as the company's second location, the remodeled store is the only one in metro Portland that stocks lumber certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

During the remodel, the store operated out of an adjacent warehouse. Green improvements include floors made from recycled tires, LED lighting, cement composite siding, and solar panels on the roof that will provide 30Vo of needed power. Because of energy savings, the company expects to recoup remodeling costs within four years.

Inside, about lOVo of the products offered for sale are sustainable, according to store manager Marshall Smith. To earn Parr's "Get Real" green label. products must be certified sustainable by the Forest Stewardship Council or the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, be at least partially made with recycled materials, or contribute to clean air or energy efficiency. "There's a lot of consumer demand for certified oroducts." said Smith.
