ByKristinGray Iamveryexcitedtobe serving as the chairwoman for the upcoming year with the Red Bluff-Tehama County Chamber of Com- merce. Even though I was not born in Red Bluff, I am ac- tually third generation Red Bluff native moving here at age 10. My great grandfa- ther and grandfather were both sheep ranchers in Te- hama County. I am the proud mom of three amaz- ing children, Chris, Emilia and Chloe Gray, who are also involved in our com- munity through 4H and other activities. I have been actively in- volved in the chamber for the last 5 years and I am very passionate about the growth and prosperity of our community. I feel hon- ored to have this opportu- nity to be a part of the con- tinued success of our cham- ber of commerce. I see the importance of travel and tourism and have experienced the positive ef- fects it can have on a com- munity while working for the Durango RV Resort. I was also actively involved with the Tehama County Branding project, and in- volved in the design and planning of the Tehama Country Visitor Center. I am the executive di- rector for the Lassen Park Foundation, which of- fers me the opportunity to promote Lassen Volca- nic National Park and bring awareness to our own back- yard treasure. We have an amazing community that is able to come together to support one another and a very sup- portive Chamber mem- bership. I look forward to working with our cham- ber members, community, chamber CEO Dave Gowan and chamber staff this com- ing year. Our board of di- rectors shares a great en- ergy and passion for the continued promotion and prosperity of our chamber.

Sierra Pacific announced its intent to purchase Wis- consin-based Hurd and Su- perseal on July 7. This pur- chase will add manufactur- ing capacity, a skilled work force, additional product lines and immediate expo- sure to Central and Eastern U.S. and international mar- kets for the Window Division of Sierra Pacific Industries — a family owned and man- aged wood products firm headquartered in Anderson. SPIplanstokeeptheHurd andSupersealbrandsintheir Windows Division that al- ready includes Sierra Pacific Windows. According to SPI PresidentGeorgeEmmerson, "We invest in trees that take 60 years to mature. So we al- waystakealongtermviewof business." The company's goal is to make capital investments and drive dramatic sales growth. The combined SPI/ Hurd company will be — from trees to finished prod- ucts — the most vertically in- tegratedwindowcompanyin the industry. Hurd's market share dou- bled in the past six years. Plus, the addition of Hurd and Superseal will signif- icantly expand SPI's sales and manufacturing capa- bilities.
