Valley Forest Restarts
This crane was a Marcell landmark.
   Valley Forest Resources began making pellets again (Nov.30th 2009). According to one of the owners, Pink, they started and then found that they needed a few more repairs, so they shut down again. They will be restarting again this week.   They are starting with a crew of around 18 and they will increase the size of the crew in the future. They manufacture wood pellets and they were shut down quite awhile reportedly due to repairs being needed after a fire last year.
   They will be a major Marcell employer at a time when employment or employers are sorely needed.
  They are located on the site of the old Aspen Fibre Plant in Marcell. They have done extensive rebuilding since the days of the Marcell Mill, who originally built the pellet plant.

Finally a Reprieve,
Then Ice Then Snow

First it was 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice then snow.

The next week's forcast calls for colder temperatures. Hopefully we won't get too much snow - or too cold. The next wave of cold hits probably around the next full moon.

Golden Eagle

Eagles are still feeding on the deer kills along the highways and I am as sure as I can be this is an immature Golden Eagle. I have heard from folks with excellent credentials on both sides of the question of Golden or Bald Eagle? It's well over 3 feet high, and is bigger than most mature Bald Eagles that were near it. We think it's an immature Golden Eagle, but let us know if you think (or know)different. editor@woodsnews.com
