Economic carnage

Domtar shutting down: "BAILEYVILLE, Maine ? Domtar Corp. is closing an eastern Maine pulp mill indefinitely because of the poor global economy, putting about 300 people out of work."

The former Spencer Press of Wells, Maine in the southern part of the state, now a division of global mega printer RR Donnelley, will shut its doors: "Printer to close; job toll is 374; WELLS ? RR Donnelley plans to close its printing plant here in June because of the economic downturn, putting 374 people out of work, company officials announced Wednesday."

The second sad announcement is interesting to me. At one time the company for which I used to work in Portland printed its catalogs there.
