Headline in the local paper, which comes out weekly.  Plant Shutdown Costs Buena Vista 46 Jobs.  The article says that last week after returning from a two week vacation, the employees were told that the plant would be shutting down September 30th.  “The company, which manufactures paper used in cigarettes, blamed the closure on a reduction in domestic sales of cigarette products.”  

I must say that I feel for the people who are losing their jobs but I cannot help thinking this is a step in the right direction.
