USK, Wash. – After being told to go home and not return to their jobs at the Ponderay Newsprint Company mill near Usk, north of Newport, in June, the 148 employees, from trainee to company president, have been taking different steps to safeguard their futures.
While those involved with the bankruptcy settlement have focused on the value of the massive newsprint-making machinery, 29 buildings totaling 326,000 square feet and 927 acres of land, the human toll of the closure in a community with few industries has taken a back seat.
