(this column originally appeared in theJune 1974 edition of Loggers World.)

Management

years and years later it came to me how luckyi was to know and to work with the many good

men that i have. after i got started in the publish-ing business i realized that i didn’t know anythingabout it and that i didn’t know much about work-ing with and steering people in this business. so igot books, took courses and studied.

i found that most businesses have about thesame access to capital and to machinery. the bigdifference between one company and another is thedifference in the management and the people thatdo the work. the people that do the work may be,probably are, more important than the manager.that is debatable. they both must be good or allthe money and all the machinery aren’t going to goanyplace.

now the big corporation has more capital. theyprobably have smarter managers. they certainlyhave as good a ground and as good, if not better,farm machinery. but they can’t hire the kind ofpeople that’ll do the work with their backs andbrains.

big corporations have access to information.they have intelligence tests. they probe and theymeasure. and it works. but...there is one little in-gredient in a man which they can’t measure. thatis his attitude. How bad does he want to do the job?

salesmen who have taken aptitude tests havebeen turned down and told they have a talent formechanical things-not for sales. then these samemen went out and made a success of their lives byselling products. the tests couldn’t tell these menwanted to be salespeople more than they wanted tobe anything else.

no one can measure the most important thing ina person. it is private, and buried deep. it might

not even be there thismonth, but is the nextmonth. you can’t takethe temperature of thoseinward fires.

1974 World’s Fair

One of my self-im-posed duties for

this June issue of L-Wwas to attend the open-ing of the (1974 spokane,Washigton) World’s fair.now to most people thiswould probably be some-

thing they’d look forward to and feel proud about.My purpose was to report on the forestry Pavilionand to report on the Logging sports part of thefair. i didn’t relish this because i don’t like a crowdof pushing shoving people.

earl Marcellus is in charge of the “festival offorestry”. at this time of writing, which is theevening of my first day in this area and three daysbefore the fair opens, i don’t have much of an ideaof what the festival of forestry is all about. notonly that, but the third day of May isopen to the Press only. earl talked meinto announcing the Logging sportsevents for the reporter’s publishers andso forth. that might be a sort of a circus.i don’t know what is going to happenand the audience most likely doesn’tcare.

We’ll see how it works out. if it comesout to my credit then i might tell youabout it. if i turn out to be an utter assyou can believe that i’ll keep mum aboutthe whole shebang.

this morning left our headquarters, driving thepick-up and pulling our mobile office. the mobileoffice is a combination office and home which ishoused in a “Prowler” self-contained trailer. tripwas smooth, kept up with traffic, and we drove the375miles here in good time. beautiful time of theyear to travel. What’ll be browned and burned in acouple of months is now fresh and green.

Just before we got to Moses Lake, saw a big tallsign which in red-lighted letters said “HeLL”. ithought someone had exercised some vivid imagin-ings to name a spot Hell. upon getting closer sawthat it was a service station. a shell service sta-tion. the letter “s” was missing. Wanted to get apicture of it but no place to park.

i wanted to find a trailer park before we got to

spokane but within a reasonable distance. one wasadvertised along the freeway. We got to the properturn off, went a couple of miles down a back road,turned off that and went toward the hills andwoods on a gravel road. We were following thesigns like a timber cruiser. got to the place, setback in the woods and looked like a dandy place. itwas closed.

so had to jockey the pick-up and trailer aroundand come out of there. Was thinking that i shouldbuy a gallon of barn paint and go back down thefreeway and paint over every damned one of thissigns. course you know i didn’t. no guts.

P.s. on the way home did stop and take a pic-ture of what i now think of as “HeLL” Washington.

after getting home read in the sunday paperthat there was a terrible tornado which tore thedevil out of things at great loss of life and propertyin “HeLL” Michigan.

At the FairgroundsMay 1, spokane, WA

My first duty this morning was to get to thefairgrounds and look the situation over.

Wanted and need to find out where the festival offorestry was to be held and where the american

forest institute forestry Pavilion waslocated.

but first though, the very first thingwas to find a place to park. second thingwas to walk from the parking place tothe fairgrounds and find an entrance.third; show my uncompleted Press Passto the gate man and ask him where ihad to go to get this Pass validated andpermanentized. He sent to the wrongplace. they sent me to another wrongplace. finally thru the process of askingand eliminating those answers that

seemed haywire, i found the right place. a niceyoung lady took my original Press Pass, took mypicture with a special two thousand dollar camera,put it onto the Press Pass and sealed the two in aplastic sandwich. i was now legitimate.

this circus is supposed to open in two moredays. if the construction is finished, the chaos isstraightened out and it settles down into a workingoperation within a month i’d be surprised. nothingseems to be completed. today there are jack ham-mers, bulldozers, carpenters, landscaping outfits,electrician trucks, painters, designers, phone in-stallers and other talented people gumming up the

ROUNDUP

shOW & sELL

cOMING EVENts

works and getting into each other’sway. truckloads of grass mats arecoming in and being placed rapidly.the situation looks hopeless but bysome magic it will heal itself and thefair will open on schedule, even if itis in the midst of the final stages ofconstruction. anxious looks and hag-gard expressions are the normalthing.

utter chaos is a kind descriptionat this time.

three wooden spar trees arestanding proud and tall. surroundingthese trees are the show grounds forthe logging sports. crews are busyfixing up and finishing up. the logrolling pond is made of concreteblocks with a wooden runner sur-rounding the circular pond. one manwas busy installing this wooden side-walk around the pond. this affairlooks as though it will be ready topercolate.

the fairgrounds are next to thespokane river. in fact the river dis-sects the fairgrounds. the spokaneriver is in flood. it is entirely possi-ble it will spill some of its water intothe fairgrounds itself. but not likely.

i walked miles and miles thru andover this location. they have a colorscheme here. the fair is broken upinto four colors. yellow, lilac, purpleand red, i think. the festival offorestry is the lilac section, while theforestry Pavilion is in the red area.this color code will keep some peoplefrom getting lost, but not all of us. ofcourse if you are going to get lost, get-ting lost at the World’s fair is not theworst thing that could happen. youwill be surrounded by places to eatand refresh yourself. Hardest type ofplaces to find are those in which youwish to relieve yourself. doesn’t looklike enough establishments for “bodycalls.”

i have by now pored over programsand schedules. there will be a widerange of entertainment to suit every

taste. from professional footballgames to folk dancers from the Harp-er Valley Pta. it will cost you tenbucks for a good seat to see bobHope-but then you didn’t think thiswas free did you?

during out short visit haven’t seenany evidence of prices being raisedfor this special occasion in thespokane area. for instance it costsus $3.00 the night to park our trailerat the sunset camp. Weekly ratesnow are $18.00 for a full week. onenight free out of seven.

foolish occupation mine is. Here isit, working away trying to describesomething that hasn’t happened yet.i’ll know it off and come back whenthe people start stampeding thru theturnstiles.

OPENING DAY:

After all the preparation, all theanticipation, the count down, the

getting ready, the visitations from fa-mous people, the special events andlayer after layer of the spicy cake

made of opening day ceremonies-af-ter all of this, i missed opening day.

this was not by accident. this wasdeliberate. knew there was going tobe a big crowd. the turnstiles clicked85,000 times at one person per click.so-stayed at home in our Mobile of-fice and worked. Worked and listenedto all the hullaboo and all the b.s. onthe radio.

shortly after noon drove about 60miles to see logger ed sverdsten andhis wife alida at cataldo, idaho. tooksome pictures and visited and drankcoffee and looked and inspected andhad a most interesting time withthese two fine people. then cameback to spokane and our “trailer onthe hill” in the evening.

sunday the fifth day of May i wentto the fair again.

SECOND DAY:

the first logging show was totake place about noon. i was at

the fairgrounds a couple of hours ear-ly. Went down to american forestPavilion and talked to some of thecrew there. they were doing well-lotsof customers and interested cus-tomers. dropped in at the kodakPavilion and watched some superiorcolor slides of different things. theover to the Logging show groundsand visited with the contestants andsuch, when they weren’t busy.

the put on three shows a day here.each show is over half an hour. thenthe same crew is faced with the taskof getting everything ready for thenext show. they work seven hours aday and it is most demanding. aftereach show they invited anyone fromthe crowd to come in and talk withthe contestants and to try theirhands at such things as climbing andlog rolling. they get a good crowd foreach show and good interest and par-ticipation booth during and after theshow.

great program for our industry.When you get to the fair be sure totake this in. after the Logging showgo in and introduce yourself to thecontestants. fine bunch of men.

one of the things they do is toplant a couple of trees. forrest coreyexplains what is going on as billburgess plants the trees. before theyget started they ask a young manchild to come in from the audienceand help with the tree planting. afterthe planting is done, forrest invitespeople that live nearby to come inand get one of the seedlings secondgrowth fir trees and take it home forplanting in their yard. Must be keptwet and planted quickly or it will die.

instead of doing this the forest in-dustry is going to supply everyone in-terested with a packet of tree seeds.Haven’t got them yet. Hard to getplastic for containers for the seeds.they need some plastic bags, or en-velopes, to hold the seeds in whengiving to people.

this is my last report on the fairin this issue. Mostly because this wasmy last visit. earl has asked me to behis Logging show announcer at thefair during the Professional Loggingshow contestants final events onsaturday and sunday, septemberseventh and eighth. Will be backthen for sure.

In 1958, President dwight d.eisenhower proclaimed May 1 as

“Law day” and called upon ameri-cans to “remember with pride andvigilantly guard the great heritageof liberty, justice, and equality un-der the law [that] our forefathers be-queathed to us.” on the first Lawday, President eisenhower urgedamericans to “honor not only theprinciple of the rule of law,” but alsoall “who actively work to preserveour liberties under law.”

in 1982, President ronald rea-gan, marking the twenty-fifth an-niversary of Law day, paid tributeto “those courageous, far-sighted in-dividuals who two centuries ago hadthe faith to believe that men andwomen could live in freedom underlaw.” “in other parts of the world,reagan noted, “May 1st is used for adifferent kind of celebration-aforced, unnatural observance of asystem that promises a freedom itsystematically denies, proclaims jus-tice while practicing tyranny, anduses what it calls law as little morethan a thin veneer for the edicts of atotalitarian elite.” “We can andshould be grateful to god that suchis not true in america,” he stressed,that here “law remains the corner-stone of the freedom that we’ve beengiven. [but] we bear a solemn obli-gation to preserve it.”

Long before he was president oreven governor of california, reaganspoke of that obligation. in March1961, he declared, “[f]reedom is

never more than one generationaway from extinction. We didn’tpass it on to our children in thebloodstream. the only way they caninherit the freedom we have knownis if we fight for it, protect it, defendit and then hand it to them with thewell thought lessons of how they intheir lifetime must do the same.and if you and i don’t do this, thenyou and i may well spend our sunsetyears telling our children and ourchildren’s children what it once waslike in america when men werefree.”

reagan knew the fight to protectand defend freedom must occur inthe courtroom. in fact, it was his re-sponse to attacks on his legislativereform efforts by leftist groups thatgave rise to the first freedom-basedpublic-interest legal foundation fo-cused on a range of free enterprise,economic, and property rights is-sues. of course, since 1968, the na-tional right to Work Legal defensefoundation had battled pro bono incourt to protect employees’ legalrights against forced unionism abus-es. reagan, however, saw the needfor a liberty-based legal defensegroup with a broader focus; so, in1973, with his full support, PacificLegal foundation (PLf) opened itsdoors in sacramento.

by the time reagan ended hisweekly radio addresses, which hehad begun on leaving the governor’smansion, legal groups similar toPLf had spread across the country.in 1979, in his final radio address

before he began his campaign forpresident of the united states, onetitled “Miscellaneous and goodbye,”reagan began, “the first item is, inmy opinion, very serious for all of usand another indication of how farwe are straying from the very basicsof our system. the Mountain statesLegal foundation has filed a suitwith the federal government claim-ing that the constitutional rights ofseveral states are being violated....”

today, the liberty-based lawmovement, which began with the in-spired response of governor reaganto the threats to the freedom of indi-vidual americans is alive, well, andthriving. More importantly, fromthe point of view of reagan’s primedirective of defending freedom, thatmovement’s pro bono representationof those who could not appear in thenation’s courtrooms otherwise hasmade history. in fact, many of thoseclients reached the supreme courtof the united states and there setlegal precedents to benefit all amer-icans.

on Law day 2013, america rec-ognizes one of the greatest of rea-gan’s legacies: public-interest legalfoundations dedicated to constitu-tional liberties and the rule of law.

Mr. Pendley, a Wyoming attor -ney, is President and chief Le-gal officer of Mountain StatesLegal Foundation and a regular c olum nist in Loggers World.

Summary Judgment....

by William Perry Pendley

Reagan’s Greatest LegacyDefenders of

Freedom

in this industry, oftentimes log-gers can be their own worst adver-saries. until we view ourselves ina better light and learn the busi-ness ropes better, including nego-tiation, can we really expect to doany better?

as we have all heard repeated-ly, “there are three legs to thesupply chain, and all need to bestrong.” opportunities are comingback for the professional timberharvester as markets improveacross the country. Let’s not blowit by selling ourselves short.know when to say no, and realizean opportunity where one exists.as upbeat 2013 quarterly reportsfrom some of the major forestproducts corporations begin totrickle in, a quote from a good col-league simply states, “We don’tmind sharing some of the pain inthe down cycles, but it would begreat if we could also share someof the gains in the up cycles.”

the american Loggers councilis a non-profit 501(c)(6) corpora-tion representing professional tim-ber harvesters in 30 states acrossthe us. for more information,visit their web site at www.ameri-canloggers.org or contact their of-fice at 409-625-0206.

When to say NO


If you are still in the loggingbusiness today, you have probably

become very adept about calculatingthe cost of doing business. With therising price of equipment and parts;consumables such as fuel, tires andlubricants; not to mention higher la-bor costs and costs associated withregulation of the industry, you haveto be on top of your game, knowingjust what your fixed costs are andalso have a good idea of your vari-able costs.

for years, the leadership of ourindustry has stressed the impor-tance of knowing what it costs toproduce a unit of fiber. there havebeen numerous studies completedby universities and organizationssuch as the Wood supply researchinstitute that help to determinesome of the inefficiencies in the

wood supply chain and thoughts onhow best to reduce cost in our oper-ating environment. While modelshave been developed to calculatewhat it “should” cost to produce avolume of fiber, they oftentimesleave out the many variables suchas topography, quality of timber, re-generation harvest vs. thinning,tract size and other expectationsthat a consulting forester orlandowner expect well after the inkis dry on a contract. other variablesthat influence the cost of productioninclude dot inspections, turn-around time at the mill, break-downs, labor shortages and weather,to name a few.

there continue to be meetingsacross the country that look at theentire wood supply chain and dis-cussions that include the need for a

cultural change in the way thatbusiness is conducted from thestump to the mill. Meetings anddiscussions are only as good as thefollow-up and on-the-ground prac-tices that occur as a result.

the old business model that hasexisted over the past 100+ years be-tween loggers and their customers,the landowners and the consumingmills is no longer working. Whathas been missing from this model isthe logger knowing when to say no;no to the landowner if they expecta higher price for their stumpagethat would make you unprofitable orexpectations of services that werenot included in the contract; no tothe mill if the delivered rate is lessthan you can afford to pay a reason-able stumpage rate and charge areasonable rate for the services that

you will be providing. When thereis not enough money left to make areasonable profit for the businessthat you are depending on to afforda decent living and provide a retire-ment for you and your family, it istime to say no.

you have equipped yourself withthe tools and knowledge that youneed to make these decisions overthe past several years as your busi-ness has gained efficiencies both on-the-ground and through better man-agement. now you must use them.Perhaps it is time that logger train-ing include negotiation skills for log-gers. Would you attend?

As We See It....

KNOWING WHEN TO SAY NO

by Mike crouse

there’s a quiet, even laid back, intensity anddrive just beneath the surface at Harkness

Logging that runs throughout the company. it’s auniform drive you see on each of their workingsides, and not from yelling, shouting, or similarmethods but perhaps best explained in a com-ment from one of the crew to a then new crewmember, (now hook tender) James Mefford whenhe first came to work. “they guy on the landingsaid, ‘make yourself an asset to the company,’ andit just kinda stuck on me.” that attitude andmindset appears to permeates the company, andreflects the thinking of company owner frank“butch” Harkness.

the Harkness family migrated from iowa toWashington state in the early 30s ultimately

homesteading an 80-acre plot near acme, Wash-ington. “granddad mainly logged for other compa-nies,” Harkness explained, and when his son,frank Harkness, Jr. returned from the service inWorld War ii, he took what he’d learned watchinghis father log, “...and started logging the home-stead with his mule.” the mule apparently hadsome logging in its background, much to Hark-ness’ surprise, “...so he was pretty well trained.” anice break! frank Harkness, sr. started as a one-man show, which changed when younger brotherJohn joined to form Harkness brothers Logging,which continued operating into the late 70s.

the third generation was brought up in thelogging business as well, with the boys learningTHE HARKNESS FAMILY at home: youngest

son Ty (17), wife Chris, and “Butch” (Frank)Harkness. The older sons JR (39) and Brandon(30) both work for the company as well.

See “Frank Harkness”


“IT’S ALL ABOUT PRODUCTION”

as they grew by working side-by-side with their fathers and in thecompany shop located next to theirhome. “the company did a lot of dif-ferent things including road build-ing and logging,” Harkness ex-plained. “We had a pretty well-rounded education of what the dif-ferent aspects of logging were.”

from an early age it was crystalclear butch Harkness would be alogger. following high school gradu-ation in ‘72, following a short stintin the army, and a couple months

working construction in seattle, “...iwent back to work for Harknessbrothers.”

the company expanded their op-erations into tower logging in theearly 80s buying a “...skookum tyeetower with an old bu120 skagit,”Harkness recalled. “that’s when westarted hiring people. We hired arigging crew, and i ran a Prentice400 loader mounted on an old Macktruck.” Later when they purchased aloader mounted on tracks they start-ed shovel logging as well adding ver-satility.

by the spring of ‘91 the companyhad grown. “We were running two

loaders, a tower, and had a total offive log trucks,” Harkness ex-plained. His father had survived aheart attack a few years earlier, butthat spring he had another and per-ished. they’d worked as partners,and with knowing he had issueswith his heart, and in that timeframe young Harkness was prettywell running the show. “He let mehave a big hand in running it a longtime prior,” he explained. “i waspretty much prepared for what wasgoing on. i knew what he wantedand thought he knew what i’d do.”His father also added some perspec-tive. “one time i got depressed, dis-

heartened, and talked to him aboutit. He said, ‘...if you’re going to dosomething you have to be willing tohave a mistake now and then.’”

the numbers side of HarknessLogging at that point was handledby his mother Penny, and she con-tinued in that capacity the next sev-eral years, as frank’s partner, until1999 when frank bought his moth-er’s interest.

Today’s company

harkness trucking and Log-ging LLc has grown, modern-

ized, and maintain its versatility tohandle a wide array of projects.Having been through the economy ofthe past several years Harkness wasquick to point out, “...the only rea-son we’re still here: we have a lot ofgood hands,” a mix of seasoned vet-erans and a commitment to bringingthe next generation of loggers intothe industry.”

Harkness has 13 log trucks, run-ning 10-12 at any one time. in addi-tion they have five dump trucks anda lowboy trailer, “...just to move ourown stuff,” Harkness explained.“the log trucks are primarily for ourown use as well. We’ve been truck-ing as long as we’ve been logging,and have had as many as 17 at onepoint.”

they also have a road buildingside. “We have several different ma-chines: four excavators, and severalcrawlers we use, so we have a lot of

road building equipment but wearen’t doing that 100% of the time,”Harkness explained. “We try tobuild roads mostly in the summer,just on the jobs we’re doing.”they’ve done some road building forother companies, “...but not a lot.”

the road crew consists of two tothree people including Harkness, “sowe’re pretty low key,” then hesmiled and added, “the only reasonwe do it is because i like it. it’s likeplaying in my own sand box.” build-ing road, he explained, “...you haveto look at road as plusses and mi-nuses, taking it from a plus and putit in a minus. When you look at the

lay of the land, and see excess in onearea, you need to use that for anarea that’s a minus.” He also notedthe satisfaction in creating some-thing new. “i’m the first one to putthat road in and to be on that road.”Plus he made it clear it was fun todo, and “...you don’t build road inthe rain, you build it in the sun-shine.”

CLARENCE DICKINSON is a fourthgeneration logger who “...grew upin North Bend, between there andDeming,” he said. He’s Harkness’Skagit BU84 yarder engineer, andhas been with the crew the pastfive years.

Bear (Ken) HABERG has loggedthe past 27 years and operatestheir Doosan DX 300LL carrier withLogMax 10000 dangle head proces-sor. “I married Butch’s sister andstarted logging. I like it.”

have two towers and two shovelsides working,” Harkness explained.“We have five towers: two bu84s, atty70, and a bu80, but only runtwo, and a couple are parts ma-chines. our primary dogs are thebu84, and the tty70, mainly be-cause they’re both self- propelledand they have water brakes.”

“our big thing (having so manytowers) is to make sure we have asteady flow of wood. We set a goaland we stay at it,” said Harkness.“that’s how we use the other ma-chines, so they work when one of theothers is in the hospital for a while.”

each tower uses an eagle motor-ized carriage. “on the bu84 we runan eagle V drum carriage, althoughwe’ll still use butt rigging on occa-sion. on the thunderbird tty70 weuse an eagle Vi. those carriageshave made a good tower out of amediocre tower more than once. itgives you much more flexibility. it’swhen people started dragging outthese old towers and putting themback to work.”

Harkness noted during his ca-reer, “...the carriage and processorshave been some of the more impres-sive changes to occur in the loggingworld.”

currently Harkness has twoWaratah 624 super dangle headprocessors, “...and last year webought a LogMax 10000 just be-

“i’ve been pleasantly surprisedwith the newer doosan version,”Harkness added, noting overall,“...our operators like them. they’re afar cry from what they were before.

the Waratahs are mounted onkobelcos, “...have a lot of hours onthem and have proven to be very re-liable,” Harkness said. “We’ve put alot of hours on them.”

Over the years, Frank Harkness Trucking & Logging of Acme, Wa. hasbought nearly 20 machines from Feenaughty Machinery through sales rep.Bob Payton. He was "pleasantly surprised" with his 2 most recent Doosan

equipment purchases. Operator Jeff Whitlock has been running their Doosan 225LL for nearly a year, much of thetime shovel logging. Listen to what he had to say about it:

“They’ve had this about a year now. It’s real stable. Weput it where the poor ground is because he has the smallmachine.”

“With the 300 size undercarriage with those biggergrousers, you can climb like a billy goat!”

TWO HARKNESS CUTTERS on theirTTY70 tower side. Chuck Hornbeck(left) has cut for 20 years, startingwith Harkness for seven years thenreturning about five years ago. He’sa third generation logger and oper-ates a Husky 390 with a 32-inch barusing Stihl chain. Lars Robinson isa fourth generation logger with nineyears working mostly in the brush,and cutting the past two years. Heruns a Husky 390 with a 32-inch baras well, and joined Harkness threeyears ago. “I like it here.”

Frank Harkness





Harkness noted. “there are the steady guys yourely on every day, and there are comers and go-ers. the real loggers don’t back up, they just go doit. We don’t have a lot of turnover.”

Hiring new hands, Harkness said, “i’d muchrather build a logger than borrow one. it’s theway to go, and we need young guys.”‘

they provide health insurance for employeesand are in the midst of switching to WaHet.“We’ve had them before, and it was a very goodprogram. this year they came to us,” said Hark-ness, noting it was less costly for better coveragethan they’d had.

He recognizes “...the biggest problem with theindustry is we can’t compete with other industrieson wages,” which means we’re losing out on“...guys who can make a difference. those guyslike that want to get in the industry but can’t see

staying there because of what the industry can af-ford to pay.” He noted examples of young guysfrom the area who’ve left for that very reason,many of whom will not return.

“We’re in a swing right now that sooner or lat-er will go our way and that’ll be the catalyst forthe next generation,” Harkness said with a noteof caution. “but there are no more guys (new upand comers) doing what we’re doing now thanthere were 10 years ago, especially when it comesto big towers. When you start cable yarding youseparate men from mice right away.” the talentpool is both aging and getting thin.

a key factor is negotiating, knowing your bot-tom line, understanding your ability to produceand bidding the price you can profit on and payyour crews accordingly. “the problem is beingable to get as many loads as you think you will”and being realistic. “you have to be a little bit onthe dark side and seeing you will not do as well asyou think you will.”

“it’s all about production,” Harkness empha-

sized. “if you know what it costs you today to logwith a tower and a full crew, it’s going to comedown to loads or board feet. it’s not rocket sci-ence. it’s about as basic as you can get.”

thus when you enter negotiations, you have tobe willing to walk away, and if it’s not paying areward for your risk, leave. “you have to negoti-ate and have integrity.”

The future

JEFF WHITLOCK has shovel logged with Harkness Logging’s Doosan225DXLL with Doosan boom, and Jewell grapple, heel and rack the past yearand noted, “I love that Doosan...we haven’t done a thing with it, just fuel andgrease it, and it’s stable.” With the 300 undercarriage grousers, he said, “youcan climb like a Billy goat.” Harkness explained fuel-wise its “under three gal-lons an hour normally,” which Whitlock added to saying, “I bet I can go threedays before refilling.” Whitlock grew in Big Lake, just down from Sedro Wool-ley, and has been with Harkness all of his 16 year career logging. “Everyoneelse I grew up with logged, so I followed them,” he explained with a smile.

FRANK HARKNESS’ office away from home, this Kobelco SK350 ex-cavator with clam bunk bucket, which he said was perfect for hiswork.

LEROY HARKNESS at the wheel of Harkness Logging’s roadbuilding side’s 2002 John Deere 6x6 off-road dump truck. “We’vehad that for three years,” he explained. Sometimes when you real-ly have to get down and dirty inhaul and stuff, that thing just doesit. We keep it on site for hauling riff raff and stuff that’s’ really hardon the regular duty trucks.” He’d been in construction since highschool and had his own company a number of years, before join-ing Harkness Logging.

STEVE JOHNSON clearing processed logs,then decking, and then loading them on Hark-ness Logging’s Skagit BU84 tower side, withtheir Kobelco Mark IV SK270LC with Jewellboom and 52-inch grapple. He’s logged the past40 years, “...and in between did some construc-tion,” he explained. He’s been with him fouryears on this stay.

For owners of logging companies Washington L & I can cost well

above $30,000 per year! There is an alternative

As an example, let’s look at a 35 year-old man that does not usetobacco… here’s what he’d get for about 2/3 of the cost of L & I.

• Medical Insurance that covers him on-and-off the job,24/7/365.• Disability Income Insurance of $3,000 per month for 10 years!• Life Insurance of $500,000 to start, increasing for inflation.• Supplemental Retirement Income beginning at age 70 of over$60,000 per year, Tax Free! (Self-completing if disabled!)

Obviously, all this is subject to underwriting and current tax laws,but I have not met very many sick or uninsurable loggers!

He recognizes busi-ness is challenging but quickly not-ed, “...it was the right thing for me.”He gave a wry smile and added, “ican do stupid things every day andstill get logs,” then added that,

BUTCH HARKNESS teaches rookie chaser Clarence Dickinson (sonof the yarder engineer) how to splice an end on wire rope. This is histhird day on the job and while raised around the business, this is hisfirst job. “I’d much rather build a logger than borrow one,” Harknessexplained. ‘It’s the way to go and we need young guys. He (Dickin-son) seems like he’s really willing so I think he’ll be a good one.”

BRANDON HARKNESS (left) is the company truck boss and,“...spend lots of time in the lowboys in between taking care of oddsand ends,” he explained. Shane Johnson has been wrenching sincehe was out of high school in ‘86 “learning by doing,” and joinedHarkness 13 years ago. Kenny Harkness (Frank’s brother) is the headmechanic and started with the company almost 15 years ago.

EMPRESS HOTELVICTORIA, BC

CANADA

by Mike crouse

Alarge and diverse crowd ofroughly 250 were in attendance

at the recently completed 68th an-nual olympic Logging conferenceheld at the fairmount empress Ho-tel in Victoria, bc canada in earlyMay. this was the first joint confer-ence including the forest resourcesassociation, inc., which broughtsome additional diversity andwealth of information to an alreadygreat conference.

attendees arriving a day earlyhad the option of taking aMadill/nicholson factory tour innearby sydney, b.c. the factoryprovided bus transportation, foodand drinks following the tour of themanufacturing facility, and hadhand-on machines as well.

the official conference wasbrought to order by oLc chairmanPat tagman, and following house-keeping duties, tagman had thosein the audience stand and introducethemselves and the company theyrepresented.

the opening session was “What’snew in the timber industry,” and thefirst topic was the recently formedLogger safety initiative to addressthe extremely high hourly rate forlogging employers in Washingtonstate, well in excess of anywhereelse in the united states. Washing-ton Labor and industries spokesper-son david bonauto presented thehistorical record of injuries over the

past decade that required thoserates to cover claims.

norm schaaf (Merrill & ring,inc.) outlined goals of the Loggersafety initiative of promoting safe-ty, reducing frequency and severityof workplace injuries and fatalities,and increasing proper reporting (ormore to the point enforcing properreporting).

ed bryant (enb Logging), noted,“...we think it started with training,”starting with cutters at the stump,and a strong training program fornew hires in the industry. “support

from industry has been phenome-nal.”

over the summer the group willdesign programs and a system toaudit performance to test the resultsby 2014.

bonauto noted one area of partic-ular interest from the state L&i is“leveling the playing field for thosewho are doing things right (report-ing, paying, following the rules), andfinding firms that are out of compli-ance.

Mike duch (cascade trader) andJosh krauss (Price Log Pro) presen-

tations were on debarking systemsand improved efficiencies availablein those systems, in addition to a logmerchandiser system with multiplesaw heads used in mills to quickly,and efficiently merchandise rawlogs.

surfaces with contaminates, includ-ing microbes and water, which canand have severely impacted todaysmachinery.

the second session prior to lunchgave a series of reports.

WcLa’s Jerry bonagofsky alsonoted significant impact the manualbase rate for logging from L&i in-surance of $19.61/hour and the workof the Logging safety initiative ad-dressing that issue. additional im-pacts also in escalating operatingcosts, the aging workforce, wagecompetition from other industriesand trucking capacities.

gordon culbertson (forest2Mar-ket) presented an economic overviewof the ever changing market pictureat present in addition to looking to-wards the future. the overall pic-ture is very favorable through 2014.(their web site is at www.forest-tomarket.com)

Jim girvan (Mdt Ltd. and Pacif-ic Logging congress) outlined theimpact the beetle kill has had onlogging in british columbia. “Halfthe trees in the bc area are dead,”said girvan. and while the forecastclearly shows a decline in harvest,“...we’ve seen increased pressure tostop logging!” that pressure comesfrom (to no one’s surprise) the eco-

industry (our word). “they’ll attackanybody. reality doesn’t matterwhen they’re trying to increase thefuror, yet what girvan’s group findsmost surprising is, “...media’s atten-tion to the claims.”

“i encourage you all to continue topush back.”

dr. Patrick Moore, the sensibleenvironmentalist, was the keynotespeaker immediately after lunch.Moore was one of the founders ofgreenpeace but has long sincestepped away from them as their in-terests have continued to grow moreradical at opposing a broad array ofissues and topics. for the past fewdecades Moore’s been a strong advo-cate for “Wood is good,” renewable,biodegradable, and sustainable.

His many examples, views, andsolutions resonated well with theaudience.

the bio-fuel discussion was ledby dr. John sessions (oregon stateuniversity), pinpointing the workbeing done on jet fuel made fromwood. “Making aviation fuels out ofwood is slightly easier than makinggold out of lead,” sessions noted,adding that there are many differ-ent groups involved in the project,then outlining the particulars of theosu part of the project.

Washington’s commissioner ofPublic Lands, dr. Peter goldmarkspoke on the effects of climate

change on forest health and careful-ly considering tree species distribu-tion in the changing landscape, andconsidering more disease resistantspecies in light of the recent infesta-tions on some of the state’s lands.He framed the issues asking, “whatspecies will survive best?” He’splaced that before an “...advisorygroup of scientists to advise as towhat is prudent and still conserva-tive in the future.”

in closing goldmark noted, “thetake home message: forest health isa combination of: host, pathogen,environmental conditions that favorthe pathogen. the best approach isto keep those forest stands healthy,maintain them in healthy status,

and hopefully their normal immuni-ty can help it.”

Perhaps the most innovative pro-gram of the year came in the lastsession friday, titled, “Where arewe going and how do we get there?round table discussion.” bill Her-mann (Hermann bros.) and Pete fo-ley (Weyerhaeuser, fra) moderatedthe discussion, which worked to in-volve anyone in the room. an arrayof topics surface through the discus-sion including the cripplingly highL&i rates, bringing new loggers intobusiness, and having them be ableto make a profit (commensuratewith the risk), finding working capi-tal, longer term contracts you can“take to the bank” in addition to oth-ers. thirty, if not more, people wereinvolved in bringing those issues tothe forefront and addressing them.

bill Hermann summed it up asthe session closed saying, “it’s en-couraging for me to see how manypeople here are the next generationforesters/loggers and to know this isall working and one way or the oth-er will work out. there are chal-lenges, especially in the finance partof it.” then he emphasized, “... whati see as most critical, is where youcan bundle together a piece of paperwith a plan, take that to a bank andthat gives them confidence to loanmore money.”

Pat tillman closed the conferencewith a challenge. “don’t leave todaythinking this is the end and we’ll re-turn to our jobs. all of you find waysto continue to tell our story, andwhy trees are the answer.”

Rough and Ready announces closure

It is with great sadness to reportthat on april 17, Jennifer Phillip-

pi, ceo and co-owner of rough andready Lumber company announcedthe closure of their cave Junction,oregon sawmill. the mill which hasalways been in the family ownershipjust recently celebrated its 90thyear in business, and employed 85people, providing family wage jobsand benefits that helped to supportcave Junction and the other illinoisValley communities.

rough and ready is the last re-maining sawmill in Josephine coun-ty, which once supported a total of22 sawmills. it is simply a tragedythat the mill which is surrounded bybLM and forest service timber-lands had to shut down because itcouldn’t find enough timber to re-main in operation. “it’s like sittingin a grocery store not being able toeat while the produce rots aroundyou,” stated Phillippi.

rough and ready sits amidforestland owned 80 percent by thefederal government-over 2.7 millionacres-but for 20 years, the mill hashad virtually no access to federaltimber.

compounding the problem is thefact that rough and ready had re-cently been the successful bidder onat least three bLM sales, all ofwhich are under litigation and can’tbe awarded or operated. the closing

of this sawmill should send a veryloud message to our congressionalrepresentatives, policy makers, andagency personnel that the currentsystem our government is using tomanage the federal forests is brokenbeyond repair. there is absolutelyno reason that a well-run, family-owned operation that provided need-ed jobs to rural residents should beidled. - AFrC news

Automakers warn newethanol mandate coulddamage vehicles

Detroit says it will ruin your en-gine. the ePa says it’s safe.

farmers say it’s better than for-eign oil. oil companies say it’s moreexpensive than gasoline.

but as Washington looks to com-pel refiners to blend more and moreethanol into gasoline, consumers arestill left with the basic and criticalquestion — how much ethanol issafe to put in their cars?

automakers warn the govern-ment’s ethanol mandate could dam-age vehicles if it continues to grow.

“We just feel that it is not safe forthe consumer. it’s not safe for theirengines,” said charles drevna, exec-utive president of american fuel &Petrochemical Manufacturers.

the questions about ethanol ariseafter congress first mandated it in2007. ninety-six percent of gasolinesold in the u.s. is now 10 percentethanol, a high-octane fuel derivedfrom corn. but under that bill andrules favored by the environmentalProtection agency, refiners are nowbeing forced to blend up to 15 per-cent ethanol into gasoline sold atstations around the u.s.

the auto industry, though, sayse-15 — as the blend is known —corrodes pumps, fuel lines and injec-tors. and manufacturers say theywon’t cover damages caused by thehigher blend.

the american automobile associ-ation agrees.

“ninety-five percent of today’scars are not suited for e-15 based on

what people who make those carssay,” said aaa ceo robert darbel-net.

the ethanol lobby claims au-tomakers and refiners are overreact-ing.

“e-15 has been sold in this coun-try for the past nine months with noissues whatsoever. this is a lot ofhysteria that’s being driven by theoil companies,” said bob dinneen,head of the renewable fuels associ-ation.

While there have been no issuesreported so far, the new blend hasonly been sold in a handful of sta-tions in the Midwest. but refinersare mandated to use 13.8 billion gal-lons ethanol this year requiring the15 percent blend. the ePa says it issafe for cars built after 2001, but ac-knowledges it is inappropriate forboats and small motors, includinglawnmowers and chainsaws.

automakers advise new ownersnot to fill up on e-15 and say doingso may violate warranty terms, leav-ing customers to pay costly repairbills. toyota and Lexus even placedwarning labels on gas caps and own-er’s manual instructions caution notto use e-15.

“We think ethanol is a prettygood product, up to a point,” saiddrevna. “but when congress man-dates such massive quantities thatwe can’t put into the fuel system,that the autos and the lawnmowerspeople and the marine manufactur-ers are saying ‘We won’t warranty,we won’t put this in our engines,there is a problem’.”

ethanol supporters dispute thatand claim studies back them up.ethanol blends of 25 percent havebeen used for years in brazil withno ill effects on the same cars sold inthe u.s.

“We support what the ePa didbecause we know that e-15 is safefor the vehicles for which they haveapproved,” said dinneen.”Let themarketplace decide. Let consumersthat have a newer vehicle, thatwant to use e-15, give them the

choice. if they want to use e-15 be-cause it is lower cost, because it’sdomestically produced, because it’sthe only thing we have that’s goingto reduce greenhouse gases, thenthey ought to have that choice.”

after a lengthy comment period,the ePa is expected to decide soonwhether or not to relax the blendmandate. some lawmakers are con-sidering similar legislation shouldthe ePa fail to do so. right now, itis a lobbying war pitting farmersagainst oil refiners and automakers.

“Look, this is pretty simple,” saiddinneen. “it’s about a battle for thebarrel. ethanol, renewable fuels,have been phenomenally successfulover the last several years, and weare now 10 percent of the u.s. motorfuel market. and the refiners aresaying, ‘no more’. they don’t want tosee e-15 succeed. i think the ameri-can public still understands the val-ue in reducing our dependence onimported oil and seeing more domes-tic renewable fuels used.”
