We lost another local industry giant, rest in peace Dick Bennett! Dick was not only the owner and founder of several sawmills, he was a tireless advocate for the logging and lumber mill industries. This loss hits very close to home for us at Gem Chain Bar, the Grangeville saw mill was dismantled and closed by Idapine Mills in 1994. Twelve years later in 2006, Dick brought new life to the mill and to the community by rebuilding and reopening what is now the Idaho Forest Group Grangeville Plant. That new mill is still a center piece to the economy of our city and county 20 years later. Thank you Dick for all you did for our community, other communities and for the timber industry!

Justin Everhart, owner of JEM Forestry, was in our office last week and let us know they made the cover of TimberWest magazine's March/April 2026 issue. It is always great to see people you work with recognized for their skill and innovation. Justin and his team really do take on the worst of the worst site conditions and log safely and efficiently.
Congratulations on making the cover - Justin and JEM Forestry! The picture is such a great shot by Justin on the Mason Butte Road, up Isabella Creek in the Floodwoods!
