AP nation news - StatesmanJournal.com: "Implosion to bring down closed paper mill building

GARDINER, Ore. (AP) -- Demolitions experts will implode the last major structure of the International Paper mill in this Douglas County coastal town Saturday, the last chapter for what once was the town's largest employer.

Through implosion, strategically placed explosives make structures drop in place.

The mill was built in 1964 and once had 300 employees. It closed in 1998.

Maryland-based Controlled Demolition will implode the 12-story portion of the mill, the largest remaining part of facility.
