Papermachine to Resume

A paper machine that's been down at the Fort Frances mill since March is being restarted.

AbitibiBowater says it will restart the number six machine for three weeks.

Initial reports suggest that start-up will be September 8th, but at least one a published report says it will now happen this weekend.

With the exception of a week of test runs in July to determine if the machine could be used to produce a different type of paper, the machine has been idled since March 6th.
