Know Knowles = NO Knowles
By Ed Brown

Saturday AM
The morning shift arrives at the Ward Cove Pulp Mill in Ketchikan,
Alaska, Monday, March 24, 1997, to relieve the night shift on
the mill's last day of production. The mill is closing down after
43 years of operation, leaving its own 500 employees and thousands
of others who depend on the mill's business pondering an uncertain
future.
In 1997 both President Clinton
and Gov. Knowles are employed. And how many Ketchikan residents
move elsewhere to find work? Almost 10 years later and both former
Gov. Knowles and his ex gov./pres buddy Clinton are out of work
and both looking for a job. In a couple of years we will be able
to keep Clinton looking for work. And now it is "our time"
to tell Knowles he is fired before he gets hired.
Just say "NO to Knowles".
