After 50 Plus Years of covering storiesfor and about loggers, this is the last edition.

See “From the Stump”

on Page 2 of Loggers World

first the bad news: after 50 years and ninemonths, this is the final edition of Loggers

World, and after 40 years, the final edition of Logtrucker. (there is always the remote chance ofmoving to strictly electronic distribution (thoughvery remote), and if that comes to pass it wouldbe as either of these established names.)

the reason is simple: economics. from the fi-nancial collapse we all suffered through in 2008,we all knew it would be a rough ride, whichwould require reserves to withstand the storm,which we’ve used. from the end of 2008 we’dheard several economists predict this recessionwould be like nothing any of us (under 70 or 80years of age) had ever seen before with a sharpnose dive of revenues and a Very gradual andprolonged recovery, in distinct contrast to whatwe’d seen in the past seven decades (steep de-clines followed by a similarly steep improvement).this would drag on.

over that span, a lot of logging and truckingcompanies have closed their doors, many have re-sized their companies, a number of companiessupporting and supplying loggers has shrunk dra-matically. the supply chain is rebuilding but stillnot at 100% as yet (though getting closer eachday), and there has been considerable consolida-tion amongst many businesses and manufactur-ers as well, all something we’ve all seen as well.

and while business has suffered, the worstthrashing has occurred throughout rural americawhere the economy was established on naturalresources, and where in the Western unitedstates, the change in public policy and lack ofclarity in the laws governing public lands, essen-tially reversing decades of multiple-use manage-ment. every time we hear a pundit or politicianprattle on about “creating jobs” and “creating op-portunity” they demonstrate how irrelevant thattalk is given the policies they sponsor, and the on-going destruction of opportunity, which has

opened the “braindrain” spigot from ru-ral america to thecities.

We’ve passedthrough that, burnedthrough a lot of cashand reserves to get tothis point, and al-though Washingtond.c. tells us the reces-sion ended a few yearsago, its crystal clear

(and not terribly surprising) that their multiplepress releases bear little resemblance to the con-ditions in non-urban america.

in passing through this calamity the phrase“long gradual,” has certainly held very true.

beginning in 2013 the logging world has had aconsiderable uptick in demand and business, inno small part due to their being fewer loggers andfewer logging contractors. that should bode wellfor business, and virtually everyone we talk withconfirm things have improved. Last year was thebest for most since 2007, and this year is comingin even better. but that did not significantlytrickle down to us.

Loggers World Publications has seen this grad-ual improvement as well, but it remains short ofincreased costs accelerating at a more rapid pace,and a lot of uncertainty for at least another threeyears if not longer. Press costs, mailing, fuel, ben-efits all rising. However the key problems are thesame many businesses face... uncertainty, alengthy economic downturn, lengthy drain on re-serves, time is moving along and there will be atleast another three years of uncertainty in frontof us, primarily from both federal and state gov-ernments. for the continued risks there is a verylimited reward in sight.

My late wife susan and i have owned LoggersWorld just over half of its life. it’s been a wonder-ful ride, meeting and getting to know our indus-try, being allowed to see and meet the contrac-tors, crews, witness the innovation, tenacity,heart and grit of the logging world. We’ve trav-eled all over the country and parts of the worldincluding canada, finland, germany and france,finding the mindset and attitude being the samefor loggers anywhere in the world.

We’ve witnessed first-hand the cultural cleans-ing of the timber wars starting in the late 80s, thedecline of our federal forests and the surroundingcommunities.

on the positive side of the ledger, and contraryto what the media tells the world, logging’s re-silience, creativity and determination has con-stantly flexed, changed, and adapted to the rapid-ly changing public policy. it’s ironic that in thesame time frame, the media’s inability to adaptand brought many newspapers, magazines andelectronic media to their knees, a mere ghost oftheir former selves. When the paradigms shifted,and the internet arrived, print in general wasfirmly imbedded in 1950.

i love this industry and the vast wealth of thepersonalities within it, virtually all of whom iconsider friends. i’ve always been at home wher-ever i’ve landed in logging, being welcomed withopen arms, and sharing your crew, company,thinking and incredible innovation and approach-es to real-world logging issues being solved withgreat creativity and genuine insight. it’s not justthe business, however, it is the attitude and drivethat separates our numbers from the populationas a whole.

We’ve been blessed with terrific crews in ourtenure: the additional 20 years of rigging shackcolumns from finley; kevin core, who’s been partof Loggers World a year longer than me, a solidcolleague, and good friend who most have talkedwith for advertising the past 26 years... there isnone better; Jim Holding, long time ad managerfor Log trucker; many writers including billPalmroth, Myron Metcalf, otto oja, darin burt,Jerry capps to name a few. and we’ve had sever-al office managers as well, longest term was JeanHays (finley’s wife), the heart of Loggers Worldfrom the start in ‘64 until early in 1990, when mybeloved wife and partner susan took over thereigns until her passing in 2006, then Julie clark,and finally Holly Larson. as occurs in logging, thecompany is the people, and we’ve been blessedwith a fine crew.

Logging will, as finley held from his first is-sue, survive even these hard times. We’re an in-dustry of survivors and innovators, and thoseforests are only turned into cash when the treesare horizontal, and we do that better than anyloggers in the world.

it’s been an honor serving all of you the past 50years, and my past 25 years. Log safe, and maygod bless and protect you, your crew, and fami-lies. you will always be in my mind for the rest of

an improving market place in2011 was the catalyst enabling

chris secrist to put the timbertec,inc. cut-to-length thinning opera-tions back to work after an 18-month layoff that began with van-ishing markets in 2009. thus in thesummer of 2011 secrist asked, gor-don iverson, who had done businesswith the oeser company and se-crist from back in the late 70s, towork with him and manage thosesides. “that crew didn’t need to betold how to log,” iverson explainedof the veteran staff, “they just need-ed adequate work ahead, and if theyneeded questions answered, i couldanswer for them.”

iverson explained by that pointin 2011, “...the log markets began toimprove to the point wherelandowners wanted to look at thin-ning again. i took a woods tour withthem and told them what we coulddo,” which led to their being given,“...a place to start, tried it out, re-viewed it, and decided they’d con-tinued finding other places.”

the first site was just outsideMossyrock, Washington with a sin-gle harvester and forwarder.

“it’s very important to under-stand,” said iverson, “that thinningis not a once-size-fits-all,” operation.

“they’re carefully considering is this right approach, and the mostprofitable way to reach the goal,” onthat piece of ground. “there are sev-eral considerations, he explained,including the “‘...time/value of mon-ey and product rotation at 50years.” amongst those considera-tions are, “...if you’re able to come inat 25 years (thin the stand), im-prove the forest and generate cashin between.”

KEITH DOllARHYDE thinning with TimberTec’s Kobelco 150 zero tail swing ma-chine, with Jewell boom and Keto 150 dangle head processor. He’s a second gener-ation logger and has been logging, “...since I was very young,” working for his fa-ther’s company. He originally joined TimberTec in ‘93, then went into constructionin 2003, and when that slowed down this past year, “...they let me come back outand do a little of this this winter, it’s been kinda fun!” He got back into logging thispast February and noted he’d recalled the maintenance and operations from hisearlier stint in the business, and was surprised to find today’s equipment, “...withthis thing I haven’t got much of a break.. it runs like the Energizer Bunny!”

vantages of keeping with standard-ized equipment, is you’re able to uti-lize machines taken out of servicefor replacement parts.” With the ex-ception of the Valmet timbco 445with LogMax 7000 processing head,they have run timberjack for-warders, converted kobelco carrierswith Jewell booms, and differingsizes of keto dangle head proces-sors. “We’ve sold a few, but for themost part, with the value of oldiron, its worth more as an inventory

of spare parts.” He then added,“...the trade-off is production, ofcourse, but a new side and machine,purpose-built, or custom built likewe do, (the likely price) range wouldbe $350,000 at least.” the validityof his thinking you can see on theirworking sides, older machines,maintained, updated, replaced en-gines and some other components,but still both solid performers andproductive. He also credited me-chanic Maarten spencer for his partin maintaining and keeping thingsrunning smoothly.

in 1999 timbertec was formed as

a separate corporation, and a whol-ly owned affiliate independent ofthe oeser company, taking over allthinning operations.

secrist first joined the oesercompany when he was 20, “...wheni got a job on a summer construc-tion crew,” he explained then lateron “moved to being a greaser.” He’dgraduated from Western Washing-ton university with a degree in ge-ology and later when the companyforester, “... had me go out andcruise timber with him,” which ledto his getting a job with their tim-ber company. over time in 1990

when the opportunity presented it-self secrist purchased the company,literally working his way to the top.

iverson is a Whatcom county na-tive, growing up in custer, whose

family has a long history in the log-ging industry. “dad (gilbert) had asawmill there. and his father (oleiverson) he built the mill. When hisfather died, my dad and uncle (Leoiverson) took over that mill and ranit until 1960,” thus sawdust wasrunning in iverson’s veins early on.following high school graduation in‘63 he enrolled at the university ofWashington. “i worked for georgiaPacific (gP) when i was going toschool, during the summers, breaks,any time i was free,” he explained.“that funded my schooling.” Hegraduated in ‘67 with a bs in forestengineering, majoring in logging en-gineering in 1967 then he joined thearmy.

sold and administered timber sales.it was an interesting time. sellingthe sales was interesting as well.”

He returned home to the belling-ham area after leaving the army in1970, joining gP, “...starting out inthe engineer crew, designing roads,engineer settings, bought and soldlogs,” iverson said, and stayed withthe company until the summer of‘88, when he worked for Wc & sonLogging, working for his father inlaw bill corning. “i was the compa-

ny forester,” he said, “buying timbersales, finding work for them.”

Land acquisition

when iverson started withtrillium corporation, he had

designs on becoming a partner, “...but they didn’t’ want a partner,they wanted a forester,” iverson ex-plained. He was a contractor forthem initially, buying property,“and getting paid to help managethe land,” and a lot of land was pur-

chased. “it was an interesting cou-ple of years. i helped them acquirethe tree farm and the thought wasmanaging that tree farm” and atsome point in that process,“...around 1990, i switched from be-ing a contractor to being an employ-ee.” the program lasted until ‘98 orso when trillium sold the tree farm

Born at he parents homeMarch 4th 1929, to Jacob and

catherine Zender in kendall Wash-ington, John Zender was the sixth ofeleven children, nine brothers, Pete,dick, bee, nick, red, Jake, dan,Jim and two sisters Mary(Williamson) and kay (cox). twobrothers, dick and red, his sistersand six sister in-laws.

“our family was based on faith,family, work and sports, we weremembers of st. Peter’s catholicchurch in kendall,” Zender ex-plained. “growing up on the familyfarm we all had to pitch in milkingcows by hand before school and af-

ter. My dad was also logging at sil-ver Lake with my uncle Henry anduncle tom burke contracted withWarnick Lumber company ofbellingham.”

Zender started his education in atwo room school house in kendallwhere he completed grades onethrough eight, then continued hiseducation at Mt. baker High schoolin deming graduating in 1947. “af-ter graduation, when he was 18, “...istarted my logging career with mybrother nick and cousin Joe Zender.We logged for my dad behind thehome place. Joe and i would fall thetrees with a cross cut (not power

saw) and nick would drag them intothe landing with a d4 cat. Wewould rig a tree to load the logs andgene altman would truck them tothe market. it was our first payingjob, and i was able to buy my firstcar a 1948 green Pontiac.”

“sports were a huge part of ourfamily,” said Zender. “We all lovedbaseball. in 1948 i was selected totry out for the new york yankeesfor a position in left field. i traveledto san francisco to attend the yan-kees try-out camp. upon cominghome with a contract to play ball forthem i took a break and logged formy dad. unfortunately i injured myneck and shoulders in the woods.this injury resulted in ending mybaseball career.”

in 1949 along with brothers Pete,dick, bee, and brother in-law LeeWilliamson they formed the Zeebrothers Logging and truckingcompany. they logged bouldercreek in the early years operatingtwo sides.

“i met the love of my life celineWaechter from abbotsford, b.c.,”Zender explained, “and we weremarried november 17th, 1951. Wewere blessed with six children dori(ron Moa), Pat (Pauline), dale (car-men), diane (Jim Mallahan), Perry

(karen) and don (Linda), 17 grand-children, 26 great grandchildrenwith another one due in october. Wewill be celebrating our 63rd weddinganniversary this fall.”

in 1952 Zender and his brother,with a couple of extra ball players,“...got together and formed a semi-pro baseball team called the demingLoggers. We logged during the dayand played ball at night,” Zender re-called. “We played against localteams and placed first in our league.We went on to compete for the 1956national semi-pro title in Wichitakansas where we lost to fort Wayneindiana and placed second.”

“in the late 1950’s and early1960’s the rest of my brothers, Jake,dan, Jim and brother in-law denycox joined the Zee brothers,” Zen-der continued. “in 1963 we boughtour first steel tower and we werelogging at Jackman creek east ofconcrete. We had five loggingtrucks and i operated a sJ6 skagitmobile log loader with a line grap-ple. My brother Jake ran the P andH shovel log loader.

to crown Pacific, and they nolonger needed a forester.

that led too the formation of

c&g timber, “...buying public andprivate, land and timber sales untilthe economy crashed in 2008.

the fit with timbertec hasworked well for crist and iverson.“i still look at my main function asto make sure they have work,” iver-son said. “We’re always looking formore: employees and more equip-ment, and as opportunity presentsitself we’ll expand. there’s stillequipment inventory sitting, proba-bly three more processors and for-warders that could go in the field ifthe opportunity arises. it all hingeson circumstances.”

crist noted that after the longlayoff, that they were “...very fortu-nate that nearly all of our crew wasable to come back,” a very experi-enced, well trained, cross trainedgroup of journeymen veterans witha lot of experience in thinnings.”

Today’s company

timbertec’s shop has been lo-cated in yelm. “it’s still a good

place for where our business is lo-cated,” said iverson. “our equip-ment is stored there.”

Presently they’re running twothinning sides:

the Mossyrock side, which has aValmet timbco 445 with a LogMax7000 dangle head processor, and atimberjack 1710, 17-ton forwarder.

the Port gamble with two ko-belcos, a kobelco 150 with the keto500 processor, and a kobelco 150ewith a keto150 processor. theyaare paired with a timberjack 1710forwarder, and a kobelco shovelwith Jewell boom and grapple.

both crews stay near the jobthen travel back home for week-ends. “if the jobs over 90 minutesaway,” said iverson, “we start tolook at the wisdom of putting themup (with rooms), both for safety andjust wear and tear on the person.”

they typically work a five-dayweek, iverson explained. “if weneed to we can work the occasionalweekend, but that’s not for normal

logging, but something like stormclean ups or trying to catch up.”

Much of the crew has been withtimbertec for 20 years, and have aloyalty and high regard for one an-other that’s evident in their qualityand experience. beyond pay theircompensation includes a retirementplan (401(k)), health insurance foremployees (spouses can be pur-chased as well), federal Holidays,and paid vacation.

the company is very good atwhat they do, have a lengthy recordof performance and recognized ex-pertise, and a group of veterans allof whom understand and deliver athinned forest meeting the expectedlandowner goals with minimal dis-ruption of the remaining stand.

iverson added, “We believe wecould do more. the work is there.”

“there’s lots of personal satisfac-tion for doing what we do,” said se-crist. “good for the resources, goodfor the industry.”

would help make our logging pro-duction more efficient and faster,Zender explained adding, “...wecalled it the carriage. it was a largedevice made of steel with rollers in-side of it that would ride the mainline with chokers on it. We wouldhave the choker men hook the logsand my brother bee on the yarderwould pull them in and load themon the trucks.” today the carriageis used throughout the logging in-dustry and is called the bullitt,among other names as well. “Wewere contracted for scott Papercompany for over fifty years. Welogged skagit, snohomish, andWhatcom counties. i loved loadinglogs onto the logging trucks and i

had one day with 33 loads with 10-15 logs per load. We kept our 19trucks busy with three big towers(three sides). i also enjoyed operat-ing all the machines.”

baseball continued after theirplaying days as well, Zender ex-plained. “in 1968 celine and i, withfour other couples, organized andcoached the first Little Leaguebaseball club in our deming com-munity. We formed the babe ruthand PeeWee leagues and had a lotof fun. these leagues are still run-ning strong with many teams today.during that time i operated a bulldozer to help clear and prepare this(deming) Log show site— i tried tonever miss a show.”

in 2001 the Zee brothers Loggingand trucking company retired,said Zender, “...but i continued tolog for three more years. With one

shovel and one cat i operated thek170 hydraulic grapple shovel,fory Mccomber did the falling andbucking and brother red did thehauling. We contracted with pri-vate land owners. i decided to retirein 2003 at 74 years old. i enjoykeeping up my home, my vegetablegarden and mowing with my trac-tor. but most of all i enjoy spendingtime with celine, our children andall their families.”

“Looking back over the years ifeel thankful that god had givenme the opportunity to be a part ofthe logging community and workingwith my family for 50 plus years. iwould especially like to thank mywife celine for all her support and athank you to the deming Loggingshow for electing me the 2014 bullof the Woods, truly an honor.”

the Healthy forests, Healthycommunities, formed in March2013, spokesman nick smith out-lined the goals and programs oftheir organization. for more infor-mation see http://www.healthy-forests.org/.

the afternoon session featuredfour unquestionably qualified ex-perts on “industry capacity - Meet-ing Market demand?” each presen-tation was based on the individualsperspective and the economic reali-ties of industry capacity. We’d de-fine industry capacity as, can indus-try respond to new market de-mands?

Leading off was Michael Phillips(Hampton affiliates), outlining hiscompany’s view of emerging mar-kets following the past six years.“Production peaked in 2005 and bot-tomed in 2009, with a 50% drop inthe north american market.” andwhile markets are improving, “... it’sstill about 40% of what (production)was when things were going well.”

on the positive side, “...every-thing that relates to wood consump-tion is going up,” said Phillips.

However the past six years, andtimes, have changed. “today’s notlike it was yesterday,” Phillips said.

“the mill and work force is gone,,”and today’s mill is far more efficient,and you spend a good deal more torebuild or start a mill.”

“the cost to reinstall capacity isalmost ludicrous given the availabil-ity of timber, and personnel,”Phillips stated, then noted relatingto the logging industry, “... todaystill doesn’t have a lot of certainty toit,” then added of logging contrac-tors, “... how can you pay yourselfback? How do you make that invest-

ment if you aren’t going to be work-ing full time?” He then stated, “...wethink there aren’t enough loggers toput on the ground to supply thetrees.”

When asked of industry’s reactionshould the predicted logger shortagematerialize, Phillips felt “...the nextstep will be to form collaborativepartnerships, and help with the fi-nancing of it. other companies aresaying take an appropriate ap-proach; keep a cash flow going for

their main loggers so they can sur-vive.”

While the market outlook overallis very good, he noted, “... lumberprices could be very unstable andexperience very volatile swings overthe next three years.” and the longterm outlook Phillips was prettyclear in saying in the near future,

“...it will be a very good to be in thelumber and in the logging business.”

tom Leeds (Pacific Lumber andshipping) spoke on export markets,and noted the success of newZealand’s approach to at least onephase of log efficiencies, which in-cludes: covered buildings for unload-ing, computerized scanning whilescaling, and tracking trucks andwho owns the load, and where theload goes. “i think for us to exist (inexports) we have to adopt the newZealand model of exporting.”

rick LaMont (timberland ap-praisal, inc.) repeated some of theearlier speakers historic observa-tions on the downtown and slow re-covery noting that the sluggish re-covery is connected to housing notrebounding as quickly as all hadhoped. He noted in particular that,“...it’s much harder for this genera-tion to get into the housing market,”due to this lagging economy, slow

job growth, etc.don taylor (sustainable resource

systems) outlined key points of asupply chain analysis he presentedon industry capacity.

He outlined issues surfacing dur-ing the recession: relationshipdamage between the mills and thelogging contractors; the resultinglogging capacity disinvestment; andproductivity leakage (avoidable loss-es). and the resulting “convergenceof vectors” including: equipment re-placement delays; supplier “lowstumpage inventory;” lack of firmcommitments, explaining, “...it couldhave been handled better;” financ-ing restrictions; and “...a weakeninglogging-trucking infrastructure.”

“it takes a billion dollars a year tomaintain the logging capacity wehave now,” said taylor adding that,“the prices of equipment continuedto increase during the recession.”

the bottom line, said taylor,“the us forest industry needs totake full advantage of our economicrecovery. both suppliers and con-sumer mills need to work intention-ally and cooperatively together tomake sure that no market share islost outside the us borders, and se-nior levels of the u.s. forest indus-try need to be fully aware of thesupply chain challenge that is un-precedented.”

friday morning’s firstroundtable included West romberg(campbell global), Mike Janicki(Janicki Logging) and gordy iverson(timbertech) talking about the longterm results of forest thinnings fromreviewing yields from treated foreststo individual loggers and forester’sexperience on lands they’d thinnedyears ago. the hard data and expe-rience of those presenting demon-strated the success of the treat-ments in yielding more wood andfiber than would have been broughtout without thinning.

bill Hermann (Hermann bros.)summarized the roundtable well inhis comments, in saying that thethinning option is about, “the best

return for our investment over time.if you let the bean counters deter-mine how you grow your forestyou’re going to always get whatyou’ve always gotten. When we’dthinned for so many years, a lot ofthat wood was chip ‘n saw, not justpulp. you can almost get double thefiber off your tree farm (by thin-ning). by the end of the day, it’sabout the board feet and how manyboards, or tons of paper, you can getoff that acre.”

the final presentation was on theLoggers safety initiative (Lsi) givenby co-chair norm schaff (Merrillring). He outlined the programsprogress to date, and two 10% re-ductions available to participants,the first upon joining and commit-

ting to the program, the second 10%on the successful completion of a“third party audit” to “...help usknow we’re doing the right job.”

Most within the open discussionwere supportive of the program, andare enrolled in it. While there issupport, many voiced that part ofthe solution must be Washingtonstate’s L&i needing to clean theirhouse as well.

the meeting ended promptly at9:30, a very beneficial and well runconference. compliments to theboard, the programs chairmankevin Worley, this year’s presidentJeff adams, and the conference ex-ecutive director. diane oster-court-ney.

(continued from Page 21-- )

the american Loggers council(aLc) has been making trips to

Washington d.c. since practicallythe beginning of the organization.shortly after the founding of theaLc it was decided to have thespring board of directors Meetingheld annually in Washington d.c. togive members the opportunity to vis-it with their elected officials and rel-evant agency officials on issues thatimpact their businesses prior to at-tending the board meeting.

over the years, the meetings thataLc members have had with electedand agency officials have rangedfrom upbeat, positive, and productiveto let’s just say ..... “Less than pro-ductive” to be kind and most any-thing in between. i remember ameeting we had one year with anelected official’s staffer where wemust have been keeping her fromsomething since she spent more timelooking at her watch than paying at-tention to what we were trying toconvey to her. thankfully over theyears the visits have been muchmore productive than that particularinstance. after returning from thisyear’s trip to d.c. i would have tosay that our meetings were of thepositive and productive variety.

i believe we are making progresswith our visits to d.c. in the sensethat we are being asked by officialsto testify before congress on issuesthat affect the timber in-dustry, we’re building re-lationships with agencyofficials, and with electedofficials and their staffs. itis becoming apparent, thatwhen there is an issuethat impacts the timberharvesting profession inthis country, that theamerican Loggers councilis the go to organization toget a loggers perspectiveon said issue.

this year’s meetingstarted off with a brief up-date on timber tax issuesfrom dan sakura of nafo followedby a briefing of the issues that aLcmembers would take with them ontheir Hill visits. following the morn-ing briefing aLc members made wellover 100 visits to their elected andagency officials over the course of thenext day and a half. i would like tothank those sponsors that made thetrip to d.c. to attend and participatein Hill visits with aLc members. ifound it very beneficial to have rep-

resentatives from two of the largestequipment manufacturers in theworld to attend Hill visits with us.as loggers we tend to get “tunnel vi-

sion” on an issue and to getthe perspective of theoeM’s was very helpful notonly for myself but for thestaffers that we were talk-ing with during those visits.it also gave those sponsorsan opportunity to see first-hand what the aLc does onthe political and legislativefront for its members.

Those sponsors with at-tendees were:• caterpillar - Joe allen,

chip burroughs, andMike duncan

• John deere-kelly granati-er, tom trone, craig Mcbeth, andcollis Jones

• southern Loggers cooperative- billJones

in addition to Hill visits, the aLcheld a session with numerous speak-ers discussing various topics of im-portance to its members.

Those speakers in attendancewere:• Jim Pena- usfs - discussing farm

bill and timber sale program is-sues

• daniel cassidy- usda-discussingresearch and education inbiobased products

• bill imbergamo- ffrc- discussingfederal timber sale Program,nePa reform, and wildfire fund-ing.

• Luke Loy- usdot- fMcsa dis-cussing truck weight and csa is-sues.

• caitlin rayman- usdot-fHa -discussing the truck size andWeight study

• tom trone- John deere- discussingtelematics in today’s new forestryequipment.

the aLc spring fly in and boardof directors Meeting was a successwith a record number of members at-tending both the fly in as well as theboard meeting. in addition the aLcwas asked to testify on a package offour bills dealing with nePa follow-ing the meeting. We have also gainedsome much needed traction on theyouth careers in Logging issue.

While the wheels of congress of-tentimes move at a snail’s pace com-pared to the production that we allexperience on our jobs, it is impera-tive that we keep pushing the pro-cess along to ensure that we in thetimber harvesting industry do notbecome the latest species to be listedas endangered. if you or your state isnot represented by the americanLoggers council at the national lev-el, then perhaps it is time for you toconsider joining the ranks. When weare all pulling together towards acommon goal, there isn’t anythingthat cannot be accomplished.

until next time, Log safebrian nelson

CONTINUING TO GAIN TRACTION

BRIAN NElsONAlC President

Cornell, michigan

in mid-March, fox news head-lined a story out of Wyoming that

the environmental Protectionagency (ePa) had targeted a fortbridger (population 345) welder forviolating the clean Water act andthreatened to fine him $75,000-a-day unless he restored a wetland healtered without a permit and there-fore contrary to federal law. andyJohnson-who owns eight acres inuinta county in southwesternWyoming on which he runs horsesand watches his three daughtersplay-says the stock pond he built,filled with crystal-clear water, andused to create brook and browntrout and duck and geese habitat,was permitted by the Wyomingstate engineer’s office.

the timing could not have beenworse. Wyoming was still fumingover the ePa’s december 2013 de-cision to place a million acres, in-

cluding the town of riverton (popu-lation 10,000), inside the Wind riv-er indian reservation. in doing so,the ePa ignored 110 years of histo-ry and state, federal, and u.s.supreme court rulings. Moreover,the ePa was a month away from is-suing new regulations to give iteven more authority over privateland like that owned by Johnson bybroadening the definition of “watersof the united states.”

Wyoming’s republican senatorsdemanded the ePa withdraw thecompliance order, which they la-beled, “a draconian edict of a heavy-handed bureaucracy” that puts“each and every landownerthroughout the country” in fear.Johnson for his part did not backdown. “i have not paid them adime nor will i.... if you need tostand up and fight, you do it.” Hecan draw solace from anotherWyomingite who stood up, fought

the ePa, and won.

in 2005, david Hamilton of Wor-land (population 5,500), in north-central Wyoming, cleaned out an ir-rigation ditch on his 400 acre farm.Johnson and his wife may have puttheir “blood, sweat and tears into[their] dream” of a stock pond, butHamilton spent $30,000 haulingaway discarded cars, broken appli-ances, and assorted debris thatlined the ditch to foil erosion andmaking other agricultural improve-ments. the project was a success,but the ePa disagreed. in 2007, itshowed up on the farm and in 2010sued Hamilton in federal court.

the ePa claimed Hamilton de-stroyed 8.8 acres of wetlands,which is an impossibility given thatWorland has the least rainfall inWyoming-less than 8 inches a year.facts did not matter to the ePa; in-stead, it relied on the nationalWetlands inventory-prepared bythe u.s. fish and Wildlife serviceusing google earth satellite im-ages-to target Hamilton and to tallywetlands damaged. unfortunately,when Hamilton’s attorney, HarrietM. Hageman, challenged the ePa,the district court ruled that “slickcreek,” which does not exist havingbeen replaced by Hamilton’s irriga-tion ditch, is “navigable waters ofthe united states,” as “a matter oflaw.”

Worse rulings were to come.Hageman’s proffers of evidence that

Hamilton’s work had improved theenvironment, that the ePa wasseeking to extort nearly a milliondollars from her client, and that theePa’s investigation was shoddyand the basis for its lawsuit flawedand insupportable all were rejectedas “unduly prejudicial.” the jurynever learned that Hamilton hadreduced sediment into the big Hornriver, decreased water use on theproperty, and reduced the release ofchemicals off the land, and in theprocess created a beautiful andwell-managed farm that produces avariety of crops and sustains stockgrazing.

it did not matter. after a twoweek trial, the jury returned afteronly 140 minutes, which included ameal and a walk, to rule for Hamil-ton. His were “dredge or fill activi-ties,” it held, exempt from federalpermitting as “normal farming andranching activities,” including up-land soil and water conservation.Moreover, the jury found that“slick creek” is a man-made irriga-tion ditch and exempt from federallaw. Hamilton won!

in Washington, the ePa is a jug-gernaut, but in Wyoming it gotstopped by a jury.

West Coast college offersBachelor in Diesel - Technology

a new bachelor of applied sci-ence in diesel technology (basd)degree is now offered through cen-tralia college, located in centralia,in southwest Washington. thebachelor’s program is now officiallyaccredited by the northwest com-mission on colleges and universi-ties (nWccu) meaning the programmeets the highest standards set forcolleges and universities.

centralia college also offers two-year training programs in dieselequipment technology.

the basd begins fall quarter2014 in the newly revamped cen-tralia college diesel tech training fa-cilities. financial aid may be avail-able for those who qualify.

the centralia college basM isone of only four colleges in the na-tion to offer a bachelor of dieseltechnology, the only program of its

kind on the West coast, and thefirst two-year college ever to offer abachelor in diesel technology.

“We worked with industry profes-sionals including PapÇ Machinery,nc Machinery, and cumminsnorthwest as we developed the pro-gram,” Larry Mcgee, associate deanof bachelor’s programs, said. “ourgoal is to exceed industry standardsand provide employers with qualitymechanics who will qualify to com-pete for management positions.”

the college’s basd program isdesigned for those who have alreadyearned their two-year degree indiesel technology from an accreditedschool who want to learn advancedtechnologies while acquiring man-agement skills.

the centralia college two-yearassociate degree in diesel technologyis one of the oldest diesel programsin the nation and is a natural pro-gression into the basd, Mcgeesaid.

“graduates of our program will

have higher level skills in dealingwith technical complexities in thediesel field, and will have manage-ment skills that are a key ingredientin a successful business environ-ment,” Mcgee said.

for more information on thebasd program, contact LarryMcgee at [email protected] orvisit the centralia college websiteat http://bachelors.centralia.edu/

BLM to review its planning process

after using the same basicplanning approach for 38 years,

the bureau of Land Managementhas announced it will review how itdevelops its resource ManagementPlans.

“as i’ve met with elected leadersand citizens from across the West onbLM issues, i’ve consistently heardtwo things: first, the bLM needs tomore effectively address landscape-level management challenges; andsecond, planning takes too long.”bLM director neil kornze said in astatement.

the decision was hailed by thetheodore roosevelt conservationPartnership as a way to “modernizethis approach and remedy its short-comings.

“for example, tracts of intact andundeveloped lands, commonlyknown as backcountry, are key bLMresources that aren’t adequately rec-ognized and managed through exist-ing agency planning guidance,” saidHenri bisson, former bLM deputydirector for operations and bLMalaska state director.

based on an initial review, thebLM intends to target changes to,in part, create a planning processthat is responsive to change, allow-ing bLM to keep plans currentthrough amendments; and to reducethe amount of time it takes to com-plete rMPs.

“the main challenges the bLM

face are incompatible developmentand land use, as well as the need forwell-funded restoration,” said kenMayer, former director of the neva-da department of Wildlife.

the bLM is seeking comments onhow it can achieve the goal of amore effective, efficient and durableplanning process. individuals canlearn more atwww.blm.gov/plan2and can provide feedback [email protected].

Tribal capitalists earningthe ire of environmentalists

Maybe the “demography is des-tiny” crowd has a point, and

republicans are washed up for notmaking themselves more appealingto minorities.

but if the goP message is thatthe fruits of free enterprise are ripeand within reach of everyone, oneminority group - native americans -seems to be hearing it.

and, just like republicans, theyare catching hell from the statistsand control freaks for daring to val-ue making a buck.

not all modern-day tribal rev-enue comes out of slot machines.apaches make decent money fromtheir logging operations, especiallysince lawsuits ostensibly intended tosave the habitat of the Mexicanspotted owl shut down their com-petitors off-reservation.

(side note: according to the ari-zona game and fish department,about 30 percent of spotted owlhabitat in arizona has been wipedout in the last 12 years by the mega-fires sweeping through timber-choked forests that greenies fight tothe death against being commercial-ly logged. Just sayin’.) navajos,meanwhile, operate coal mines that

fuel power plants that energy firmslease on navajo lands. and a ratherbold tribe in british columbia,canada, appears to have hit thesalmon-fishing jackpot with “open-sea mariculture” that has produceda bounty of salmon in their region.and a bounty of hostility from greengroups.

in all these cases - by harvestingpine trees regardless of diameter; bymining coal; and by seeding a por-tion of the ocean floor with iron sul-fate in order to stimulate a foodsource for young salmon - the tribeshave incurred the wrath of the envi-ronmental left, which would be hap-py to keep the tribes on the federaldole rather than earning filthy lucreon their own.

in some cases, as in northern ari-zona, the enviros are proving suc-cessful in creating unemployed

navajos. the environmental Protec-tion agency last fall forced the own-ers of the navajo generating sta-tion near Page into a deal to shutdown one of the plant’s three gener-ators, thus reducing the need fornavajo coal miners and plant work-ers by a third.

in other cases, such as with theHaida salmon-restoration project,founded by the Haida tribe ofbritish columbia, the jury’s out.

the Haida spent $2.5 million toseed ocean areas where youngsalmon are known to run with 120tons of iron oxide and sulphate.that spawned an enormous plumeof plankton on which the young fishfed, leading to an unprecedentedamount of pink salmon returning tothe fraser river in the fall of 2013.

the Haida, who commercially fishthe fraser, benefited economically,obviously. and this brazen act of in-dependence is proving utterly mad-dening to environmental groups:

“even the placement of iron parti-cles into the ocean, whether for car-bon sequestration or fish replenish-ment, should not take place, unlessit is assessed and found to be legiti-mate scientific research withoutcommercial motivation (my italics),”said one horrified green-groupist.

in arizona, apaches for genera-tions have conducted logging opera-tions on their land in the easternmountains - out of the legal grasp oftheir environmentalist betters, inother words.

their stewardship of the foreststhey control provided the prototypefor forest remediation projects suchas the four forest restoration ini-tiative - a profit-seeking model thatmay be the only viable means of sav-ing our overgrown forests from wild-fire.

the difference between complex,politically tenuous endeavors suchas 4fri and, say, the fort apachetimber co., operated by the White

Mountain apache tribe, is that theapaches don’t have to twist them-selves into environmental pretzelsto accommodate commerce-despis-ing green groups.

shorthand for the tribal loggingcompany is “fatco.” i love thatname. fat-and-sassy-co.

the company mission statementdeclares - twice! - that the tribal in-terest is totally at odds with the en-vironmentalists’ sphincter-tightenedhatred of capitalism.

fatco exists “to economicallyand efficiently manufacture lumberor other timber products at a profitwhile providing employment oppor-tunities for members of the tribe.”

the arizona-wide payoff of theirlogging efforts came 12 years ago.When the rodeo-chediski mael-strom was threatening the existenceof Pinetop-Lakeside, it was flatten-

today, commercial timber prod-ucts operations in arizona are run-ning out of u.s. forest service landto thin. Partly because 50,000 acresof forest approved for harvestingwent up in smoke in the Wallowfire. and partly because the forestservice takes forever to approvenew land for thinning ... which ispartly because of their desperatefear of being sued by green groups.

Trees go high-tech: process turns celluloseinto energy storage devices

Based on a fundamentalchemical discovery by scien-

tists at oregon state university, itappears that trees may soon play amajor role in making high-tech en-ergy storage devices.

osu chemists have found thatcellulose - the most abundant organ-ic polymer on earth and a key com-ponent of trees - can be heated in afurnace in the presence of ammonia,and turned into the building blocksfor supercapacitors.

these supercapacitors are ex-traordinary, high-power energy de-vices with a wide range of industrialapplications, in everything fromelectronics to automobiles and avia-tion. but widespread use of themhas been held back primarily by costand the difficulty of producing high-quality carbon electrodes.

the new approach just discoveredat oregon state can produce nitro-gen-doped, nanoporous carbon mem-branes - the electrodes of a superca-pacitor - at low cost, quickly, in anenvironmentally benign process.the only byproduct is methane,which could be used immediately asa fuel or for other purposes.

“the ease, speed and potential ofthis process is really exciting,” saidXiulei (david) Ji, an assistant pro-fessor of chemistry in the osu col-lege of science, and lead author on astudy announcing the discovery innano Letters, a journal of the amer-ican chemical society. the research

was funded by osu.“for the first time we’ve proven

that you can react cellulose withammonia and create these n-dopednanoporous carbon membranes,” Jisaid. “it’s surprising that such a ba-sic reaction was not reported before.not only are there industrial appli-cations, but this opens a whole newscientific area, studying reducinggas agents for carbon activation.

“We’re going to take cheap woodand turn it into a valuable high-techproduct,” he said.

these carbon membranes at thenano-scale are extraordinarily thin -a single gram of them can have asurface area of nearly 2,000 squaremeters. that’s part of what makesthem useful in supercapacitors. andthe new process used to do this is asingle-step reaction that’s fast andinexpensive. it starts with some-thing about as simple as a cellulosefilter paper - conceptually similar tothe disposable paper filter in a cof-fee maker.

the exposure to high heat andammonia converts the cellulose to ananoporous carbon material neededfor supercapacitors, and should en-able them to be produced, in mass,more cheaply than before.

a supercapacitor is a type of ener-gy storage device, but it can berecharged much faster than a bat-tery and has a great deal more pow-er. they are mostly used in any typeof device where rapid power storageand short, but powerful energy re-lease is needed.

supercapacitors can be used incomputers and consumer electron-ics, such as the flash in a digitalcamera. they have applications inheavy industry, and are able to pow-er anything from a crane to a fork-lift. a supercapacitor can captureenergy that might otherwise bewasted, such as in braking opera-tions. and their energy storage abil-ities may help “smooth out” the pow-er flow from alternative energy sys-tems, such as wind energy.

they can power a defibrillator,open the emergency slides on an air-craft and greatly improve the effi-ciency of hybrid electric automo-biles.

besides supercapacitors,nanoporous carbon materials alsohave applications in adsorbing gaspollutants, environmental filters,

“Less than helpful” studyon global warming rejected

ascientific study, which sug-gests global warming has been

exaggerated was rejected by a re-spected journal because it might fu-el climate scepticism, it was claimedlast night.

the alarming intervention, whichraises fears of ‘Mccarthyist’ pres-sure for environmental scientists toconform, came after a reviewer saidthe research was ‘less than helpful’to the climate cause.

Professor Lennart bengtsson, aresearch fellow at the university ofreading and one of five authors ofthe study, said he suspected that in-tolerance of dissenting views on cli-mate science was preventing his pa-per from being published.

‘the problem we now have in theclimate community is that some sci-entists are mixing up their scientificrole with that of a climate activist,’he told the times.

Prof bengtsson’s paper suggeststhat the earth’s environment mightbe much less sensitive to green-house gases than previouslythought.

if he and his four co-authors arecorrect, it would mean that carbondioxide and other pollutants arehaving a far less severe impact onclimate than green activists wouldhave us believe.

the research, if made public,would be a huge challenge to thefinding of the un’s intergovernmen-tal panel on climate change(iPcc), that the global average tem-perature would rise by up to 4.5c ifgreenhouse gases in the atmospherewere allowed to double.

the paper suggested that the cli-mate might be less sensitive togreenhouse gases than had beenclaimed by the iPcc in its report

The good news

the 1970’s produced a flock of legislation passedand enacted without a lot of forethought (imagine,

congress would do something so dense?), including childlabor laws eventually removed those under 18 fromworking. sounded good, but had some unforeseen con-sequences. the agriculture industry has long enjoyedregulatory exemptions that permit family members be-tween the ages of sixteen and seventeen to participateand learn the operations of the family business underthe direct supervision of their parents. finally con-gressman raul Labrador (r-id) introduced H.r. 4590,the future Logging careers act to the House on May7th. this bill amends the fair Labor standards act of1938 to allow for sixteen and seventeen year olds inmechanized logging operations to work in the businessunder parental supervision.

the future Logging careers act, if passed, wouldensure the next generation’s opportunity to learn andoperate mechanical timber harvesters, safety trainingand experience under close supervision of their parents.

contact and encourage your local congressional rep-resentative to sign on, sponsor and support this legisla-tion, and the reasons why.

our compliments to congressman Labrador, and theamerican Loggers council for their support of this leg-islation.

Innovationsthere wasn’t sufficient room in the april issue to dis-

play some of the innovations introduced at the april in-termountain Logging conference in spokane that maybe worth your interest.

the first was a dual arch telescopic boom swinginggrapple mounted on a John deere 848H skidder, whichbill Jones designed and has had in field use for some

while (30,000 hours roughly). it’s a serious swing grap-ple which extends several feet. We found it an interest-ing and innovative approach that could be worth yourtime and interest. Jones has been a long-time fixture inthe logging business and currently is the used equip-ment manager for triple W equipment in Missoula,Montana (406) 549-4171.

the other came out of the university of idaho andcalled the choker keeper, which we found at the inter-mountain, which appeared as a large (10-13 inch rough-ly) aluminum donut. but it’s what’s inside that counts:a series of magnets arranged within the aluminumhousing, which rides blow the carriage at the samelength as the chokers bells. Where chokers typically areswinging loosely and need to be corralled and untan-gled, the choker keeper will magnetically attractthose chokers to the aluminum ring and hold them se-curely. they’ve filed a patent on the device and it’s cur-rently undergoing field trials for contractors to evaluateand improve the design.

last september, and recommendedthat more work be carried out ‘to re-duce the underlying uncertainty’.

the five contributing scientistssubmitted the paper to environmen-tal research Letters - a highly re-garded journal - but were told it hadbeen rejected. a scientist asked bythe journal to assess the paper un-der the peer review process report-edly wrote: ‘it is harmful as it opensthe door for oversimplified claims of“errors” and worse from the climatesceptics media side.’

Prof bengtsson, 79, said it was‘utterly unacceptable’ to advise

against publishing a paper on thepolitical grounds.

He said: ‘it is an indication of howscience is gradually being influencedby political views. the reality hasn’tbeen keeping up with the [comput-er] models.

if people are proposing to do ma-jor changes to the world’s economicsystem we must have much moresolid information.’

next year the un hopes to brokeran international agreement on re-ducing greenhouse gas emissions, areplacement for the kyoto Protocolwhich would impose legally bindingtargets on every country.

the last attempt, at the copen-hagen conference in 2009, ended in

disaster, with recriminations flyingand all chances of a deal in tatters.

the Paris conference in december2015 is thought by many politiciansto be the last realistic chance for adeal to be made if disastrous climatechange is to be averted.

a controversy at this stage risksputting the science which underpinsthe negotiations at doubt, somethingmany - not least politicians inbritain and the us - will be keen toavoid.

the publisher of the environmen-tal research Letters journal lastnight said Professor bengtsson’s pa-per had been rejected because it con-tained errors and did not sufficient-ly advance the science.

a spokesman for ioP Publishingsaid: ‘the paper, co-authored byLennart bengtsson, was originallysubmitted to environmental re-search Letters as a research Letter.

‘this was peer-reviewed by twoindependent reviewers, who report-ed that the paper contained errorsand did not provide a significant ad-vancement in the field, and there-fore failed to meet the journal’s re-quired acceptance criteria.

‘as a consequence, the indepen-dent reviewers recommended thatthe paper should not be published inthe journal which led to the final ed-itorial decision to reject the paper.’http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news
