Bowater announced earnings today. The following paragraph is from their earnings statement. Looks like they are pretty well "wound down". --Brian

During the third quarter of 2006, Bowater sold approximately 23,000 acres of timberlands, and during the first three quarters of 2006, Bowater sold approximately 519,000 acres of timberlands, its Degelis sawmill and its Baker Brook sawmill.
