An important milestone for Domtar in Dryden.
Today the mill reached 1 year of recordable injury free operations which is a remarkable accomplishment not often achieved in the pulp and paper sector.
This moment is particularly meaningful as it was achieved at the end of an 8-day scheduled maintenance outage which involved a significantly higher level of activity and risks at the site.
Mill General Manager Marie Cyr says, “The entire management team is so excited to be celebrating this remarkable achievement with our employees. This is a collective effort, where each individual who works here has made a focused effort to keep themselves and their coworkers safe each day.”
Ellsworth Police Log Week of Dec. 24
ELLSWORTH A driver attempting to park his vehicle instead drove into a Mill Mall storefront on Dec. 16.
Robert B. Drach, 37, of Tallahassee, Fla., thought he had placed his 2020 Honda sport utility vehicle in park when he pulled in front of Tag’s Sports Bar at 11:55 a.m. But he had not. Then, to compound matters, Drach accidentally stepped on the gas, he told police.
Three plate glass windows were broken in the building, which is owned by Roger Grant of Ellsworth. Drach’s Honda was damaged in the front right corner. The crash report noted that Drach had operated his vehicle in an “erratic, reckless, careless, negligent or aggressive manner.” No drug or alcohol tests were deemed necessary, no personal injuries were reported and, as of the issuance of the report, no charges were filed.
