The Issues: Dare We Take One Last Look
As I write this, on March 23, 2021, I am compelled to reflect on what was going on one year ago in the U.S. By now, COVID-19 has reared its lethal head in a long-term care facility in King County in the state of Washington and it is showing up elsewhere.
The National Basketball Association halts its season (I am actually at the game in Atlanta when they make that announcement). The NCAA cancels its post-season basketball tournament. Baseball cancels its spring training. Florida cancels spring break. We are told how to gather at home, at work, and not travel anywhere, especially by flight and most certainly not out of the country.

In order to achieve long-term success, leaders must first understand, explore and recognize potential obstacles to their success.

Log Yard Grading, Scaling Methods At Appalachian Hardwood Mills
Article by Joe McNeel, Director of the West Virginia University Appalachian Hardwood Center WVU AHC); Curt Hassler, research professor at WVU AHC; and Jordan Thompson, procurement forester for Millwood Lumber in Gnadenhutten, Ohio.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This article is part one of a two-part series on hardwood mill practices in the Appalachian region, based on studies performed by the West Virginia University Appalachian Hardwood Center.
Researchers with the Appalachian Hardwood Center (AHC) at West Virginia University have recently conducted more than 60 studies at sawmills in six states to help sawmill operators better understand their log grades, lumber grade yields and pricing of hardwood logs.
