Instead of bringing the trees to town, The New York Times Company and the Kimberly-Clark Corporation brought a town to the trees. In the 1920s, to ensure a steady supply of newsprint for The Times and business for Kimberly-Clark, makers of Kleenex, the companies dammed the Mattagami River at Smoky Falls, amid northern Ontario’s boundless ocean of black spruce, poplar, tamarack and birch; harnessed the river’s power through four gigantic turbines; forged a 50-mile railroad; constructed an enormous mill; and leased the cutting rights to 4,300 square miles of boreal forest — an area twice the size of Prince Edward Island. Their $30 million investment, or about $400 million today, did not stop there. They developed the tiny settlement of Kapuskasing (kapus-KAYS-ing) into a full-fledged company town along the radiant concentric lines of a garden city.

5 NEW YORK (AP) — A Bronx community gathered Sunday to pay its final respects to perished loved ones, a week after a fire filled a high-rise apartment building with thick, suffocating smoke that killed 17 people, including eight children. The mass funeral capped a week of prayers and mourning within a close-knit community hailing from West Africa, most with connections to the tiny country of Gambia. Amid the mourning, there was also frustration and anger as family, friends and neighbors of the dead tried to make sense of the tragedy. “This is a sad situation. But everything comes from God. Tragedies always happen, we just thank Allah that we can all come together," said Haji Dukuray, the uncle of Haja Dukuray, who died with three of her children and her husband. The dead ranged in age from 2 to 50. Entire families were killed, including a family of five. Others would leave behind orphaned children. There were 15 caskets in all … [Read more...] about Outpouring of grief as victims of Bronx fire laid to rest
