FHAL....Timber Harvesting -"Yesterday's Lost Logs Converted To Treasure"
By Jennifer McCary
Timber Harvesting
ASHLAND, Wis.
The world's idea of sunken treasure has expanded in the last decade with the birth of a viable new industry known as underwater log recovery. Today there are many underwater log suppliers around the world. But a pioneer of this new form of logging, which relies on divers and cranes or air bags instead of sawyers and skidders, is treasure hunter Scott Mitchen.
Although his grandfather had been a logger, Scott Mitchen chose another career path, diving for conventional treasures in the Great Lakes and countless other watery graves around the world. But his search frequently led him to digging through piles of submerged logs scattered along the bottom of Lake Superior. Eventually, he came to the realization that perhaps the logs, more than the coins and other artifacts, might prove to be the real hidden booty.
They were, after all, logs from a bygone time when Paul Bunyan-types hoisted axes or crosscut saws and yelled 'Timberrrrr!' as the hingepin snapped and these majestic trees slowly toppled to the forest floor with a muted thud. Felled during the heyday of Midwestern lumber production (late 1800s, early 1900s), the logs were branded with mill stamps scored into the butt end, then floated to the dozen or so sawmills that dotted the shoreline and inlets of Lake Superior.
Had they arrived, these logs would have been sawn into lumber that was used to build cities like Chicago, after the great fire in 1871, and Detroit during the industrial expansion era. This was an exciting period in U.S. history when industry thrived and the population exploded from 40 million in 1870 to 100 million in 1916. Of that growth, 25 million were immigrants who needed housing and jobs. Mining, steel, railroad and oil industries prospered as the nation moved westward. Inventors churned out new ideas that quickly led to new industries such as the automotive and communications fields. Workers flocked to the cities to fill the factory jobs, creating more housing needs.
The logs buried at the bottom of the lake missed their intended appointment with history. As they bobbed along for days and weeks, water gradually displaced the oxygen in the wood cells. The logs absorbed their weight in water and then some. With moisture contents up to 225%, these saturated logs sank to the bottom where they have remained for the past 100 years or more.
In talking with some of the old timers, Mitchen learned that though they were old and waterlogged, the wood's integrity was probably still intact. In a way it was the very thing that sunk them--the lack of oxygen--that also preserved them from decay. The fact that these were logs that were cut from a slow growing, multi-storied forest was even more appealing. One recovered cypress log, for example, was 1,024 years old, based on a ring count the company had done at the University of Arkansas. Lumber and veneers recovered from this wood would have aesthetically desirable qualities--such as tighter grains and wider dimensions--not typically found in today's timber. Over time in some species, the wood's sugars and resins would also give way to the water, quietly creating a unique future resource for musical instrument makers of the 21st century. There is evidence that the famous Stradivarius instruments were created by soaking the wood some 15 years or so. Today's instrument manufacturers have the advantage of precision technology, combined with the unique resonant qualities available in this wood.
In 1992, Mitchen launched Superior Water-Logged Lumber Co., whose mission was to recover underwater logs and process them into valuable products that would appeal to niche markets like historic renovations, furniture reproductions and musical instruments, as well as other architectural applications. The 33-acre mill site in Ashland is a previously abandoned sawmill that had been idled several years earlier.
The Timeless Timber trademark is also billed as environmentally friendly since these logs are retrieved rather than harvested. The company recently received its SCS (Scientific Certification Systems) certification, which is endorsed by the international Forest Stewardship Council. The certification pertains to only underwater logging and the company's use of 100% recovered wood.
Learning Curve
The first thing that had to be done before the new company could bring up a log was to establish ownership of the recovered logs. Mitchen worked to get legislation passed in Wisconsin that would place ownership with the company that invests in recovering the logs while providing fee revenues to the state. Superior Water-Logged Lumber has been instrumental in getting similar legislation passed in New York, Michigan, and Ontario, Can.
There is a lot more to logging underwater than one might expect. First, of course, is the issue of finding them. Technology now allows the company to map river and lake bottoms using a sonar system to do site scans pinpointing log locations. This data is tied in with a real-time global positioning satellite system. Using these coordinates, the recovery boat will be able to return to within a couple feet of the exact location to retrieve the logs.
Then comes the real challenge--getting all necessary permits from a half-dozen or more government agencies in a timely manner. According to the company's President and CEO David (Caz) Neitzke, the window of opportunity for recovery dives is approximately May to November.
"So each time they (a permit agency) 30 or 60 day us, they have the propensity to put us out of the season," he states. "It's all been a learning curve but from my first lessons, I've learned how to deal with some of the antics of permitting agencies." The most effective method he's found is to bring representatives from all agencies together at one time so that issues can be discussed and resolved efficiently.
The process is different in each location. In Wisconsin, for example, there are six permitting agencies: Board of Commissioners of Public Lands; Army Corp of Engineers; Historical Society, Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources; Coastal Management; and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
"The biggest thing I need to do is an educational process," states Neitzke. "You have to explain how this is not destroying the bottom and it's not destroying fish habitat. It's a selective harvest, like you would do on land." All logs do not meet the company's criteria in species, quality or dimensional specifications. In some areas, he notes, they may only remove 10-15% of the logs on the bottom, leaving a lot of the habitat structure in place. And although logs may provide some shade or have microorganisms on them, they are not typically the ideal protection for small fry. Deadfall with root systems still attached is a more conducive fish habitat.
Claims from Native American tribes added a new wrinkle, which has pretty much halted Wisconsin's permitting process the past three years. News reports cite various concerns that deal with environmental disturbance, ownership of sunken logs, believed to have been destined for a Native American sawmill, and a claim that the area is "holy land" because two alleged underwater ancestral burial grounds are located amidst a large cache of sunken logs.
"The positive side of that thing is that it got me going in other directions," states Neitzke, who came on board about the time the debate began. There are now approximately 20 independent log diver suppliers delivering to the Ashland sawmill operation via truck or railcar. All suppliers must present copies of their permits and signed affidavits stating that the recovered logs meet all state, federal or provincial criteria. Underwater logs have been retrieved from Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Idaho, Arkansas and Louisiana.
"We're a public company, and it's very important for us to make sure that we abide by all federal and state and provincial laws. We do need to have a good name for the industry and we work very hard to be environmental friendly," says Neitzke.
The nostalgia of recovering a piece of history; the politically correct concept of resource recovery without cutting a single tree; and the uniqueness of the wood itself have all served to attract a lot of media attention and with it the "get rich quick" shysters. "There are some trying to make a living buying illegal logs," observes Neitzke. "We're so high profile that those who are doing this illegally end up giving us and the industry a bad image." That's why the company's log procurement program is very strict and heavily documented. Any rumors of illegal dealings are routinely reported to governing agencies.
Sawmill Operations
Turning saturated, barkless logs into usable products requires special handling. Logs, which can have a moisture content as much as four times higher than a fresh green log, are tarped during transport because they're more susceptible to wind and sun damage. At the mill, they're spread out on an asphalt receiving yard where they are pressure washed, graded and measured using the Scribner Decimal C scale.
Original mill stamps on the log butts tell the log's intended destination, which helps to reasonably determine the time frame in which it was cut. These stamps are recorded on the scale sheet so that the history of the wood can be traced. Historical information is documented from revenuers' logs and other available documents. It is provided to customers with the sawn products.
Forklifts transfer the logs to storage racks inside the insulated and heated sawmill, which was one of those hard-earned lessons. Wet logs cannot be allowed to freeze because they will explode--much like a can of Pepsi left too long in the freezer. But maintaining a correct temperature range is tricky since the logs will also start checking if they get too hot or dry.
In most cases, the bandmill sawyer quarters the log and live saws for grade. Sawing patterns vary to highlight ray flakes and other desirable grain characteristics.
Boards go through an edger and then to the green chain where they are put on sticks for the kilns. There are six aluminum steam kilns with a total charge capacity of 137MMBF. As one might expect, drying schedules were developed largely by trial and error and are proprietary.
When Neitzke, a former sawmill owner and industry consultant, joined the company in 1997, he upgraded the sawmill and installed a dimension plant for the No. 2 and No. 3 common grades. The dimension plant is equipped with a planer, multi-arbor rip saw, three chop saws, sanders, a glue system and a molder. The company produces S4S lumber, flooring, paneling and a variety of glued panel products. These are sold in an on-site gift shop, along with many items produced from the wood by area craftsmen.
Veneer logs are separated and sent to Louisiana-Pacific in Mellen to be sliced into flitches or across the street to Evergreen Veneers, which specializes in micro-thin rotary peeled veneers. One idea he hopes to develop with Evergreen is a solid wood product such as trim and molding that uses a low-grade substrate with a high-grade micro-thin veneer wrap. "That would certainly let us stretch our footage of this rare wood," he points out.
When questioned about the obviously limited log supply, Neitzke responds: "The way to put this in perspective is that in the old days floating was the only way logs got to the mills. The estimate, even in old sawmill log journals, was a 10-15% loss of logs. If you looked all over North America and considered the amount of wood that was processed in this time frame, you'd find that it was a substantial amount. But from the surveys and research we've done so far, we feel very comfortable that there is an ample supply. And that's just what we know of. It's still so new. We're the leaders in it, but we still don't have all the answers."

Company Overview
The Fronthaul Group Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides truck brokerage, logistics, and intermodal
transportation services in the United States. It operates an Internet-based business-to-business
information exchange, which provides a centralized database of freight load information accessible by
wireless device or through the Internet. The company also operates as a motor carrier that moves its
contracted shipper's loads with leased trucks and trailers.
The Fronthaul Group, Inc expects to grow their business specifically in the areas of
3rd party logistics, Transportation Brokerage, and Motor Carrier services. The
Fronthaul Organization is the only referral based marketing transportation logistics
brokerage and currently has over 4000 members.
The company has embarked on a plan to bring shippers and drivers together in a forum on
the internet to change the way business is done in the transportation industry, and in the process make
a lot of money. The gimmick Fronthaul is sporting: “How would you like to make money on loads
moved by others?”
• On Apr 11,2006 The Fronthaul Group, Inc announced it has signed a letter of intent to acquire
100% of the total assets of a local trucking company in the Dallas Fort Worth area. This
acquisition will add an additional 18 trucks to the Fronthaul Group family of logistic companies.
The anticipated increase in first year revenues to the Fronthaul Group Organization should be
approximately $12.8 million dollars.
• On Mar 27, 2006 , The Fronthaul Group,Inc announced that it signed a letter of intent to
acquire 100% of the total assets of Little Trucking, Inc. This acquisition will add an
additional 12 trucks to the Load source Logistics, LLC. Fleet. The anticipated
increase in first year revenues to The Fronthaul Group, Inc should be approximately
$9.5 million dollars increasing revenues to approximately $28.5 million dollars
and increasing the fleet to approximately 54 Semi-tractors in 2 years..
• On Mar 6, 2006 , Fronthaul announced that it has added additional equipment to its fleet
under Load source Logistics, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fronthaul
Organization. This development is expected to increase gross annualized revenue
at today's prices to approximately $1,600,000, resulting in self-sustainability for
Fronthaul and expected overall profitability going forward.
We expect the company to exceed its current projection revenue goal from $28.5m to our new target of
$34m for FY 2006 as the addition of 2 acquisitions and new model shift towards logistics. We believe the
company is moving in the right direction, as the trend towards acquisitions is constant and proves to be
profitable as expansion is the biggest key for growth and more demand. The shares are attractive given
the valuation model, the company is trading at 0.4 times sales, which we believe compared to its peers is
much undervalued. Over the next six months, the company will continue to focus on more acquisition
and adding more trucks to the load source for more revenue recognition. This will be the main driver for
company’s asset appreciation. With our estimate of $1.2m EBITDA for 2006, the company is trading at
6x earnings. But given the growth of the product, acquisitions, the company expects to produce $43m for
2007 with $5.1m EBITDA which represents roughly a P/E of 1.6x earnings, and trading at today’s price
the growth is not reflected in the price of the stock. Therefore we believe the stock is undervalued at
these levels.

(GFCI) receives several offers: "Grifco International Considers Merger and Acquisition Offers from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Libya
Thursday June 8, 2:22 pm ET
HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 2006--Grifco International Inc. ("Grifco" or the "company") ( GFCI - News) announces that it is reviewing several offers to merge or to be acquired. Current offers originating from the United Kingdom, the United States and Libya range from GBP 28 million British pounds (USD $49 million equivalent) to GBP 36 million British pounds (USD $59 million equivalent). "The timing to move on Libya with Lyamec was a catalyst for the merger and equity investment overtures. Now that Libya has fully normalized diplomatic relations with the United States, oil prices, oil service companies, and especially oil service companies with a footprint in the Middle East, are at a premium," stated Jim Dial, president and CEO of Grifco International.
Libya's highest priority is increasing oil and gas production through the revitalization and overhaul of underperforming oil fields with proven reserves to their previous production levels. Libya's expanding onshore/offshore exploration and production has created robust demand and a growing market for American oil equipment and services. In a statement issued by RG Raymond, interim CEO of Lyamec Corp., "While we regard this as a positive development, we will carefully review our options to ensure the basis of any transaction falls within the parameters of our objective to effect managerial change at Grifco." Adding, "Clearly, the positive political climate both here and in Libya places an improved position on the options."
The Global Oil Tools Libya facility in Misurata is strategically located to provide ready access to critical key distribution points from which Global can deliver tools to regional customers on a just-in-time basis. Global's advantage in North Africa is the ability to provide a localized, fully integrated development, manufacturing and shipping facility over competitors shipping tools from distant distribution centers. "Given the geography of the regions and Lyamec's approach to the vast opportunities on current Libyan projects, Grifco requires a 'finesse approach' to restructuring operations and policies. While some aspects of the negotiations could complicate the chances for closing a deal, the participants should be able to see eye to eye for a successful outcome and one has to ask how easily three cultures can collaborate," stated Ben Gala of American Finance Corp.
In anticipation of the additional volume from Libyan and other customers, Global Oil Tools is within reach of accepting additional orders through recently acquired additional CNC machines and ongoing installations of enhanced order processing and management systems. Global expects this modernization to provide the company with the capacity to rapidly fulfill current back orders and future volume projected from recently reinvigorated oil and gas wells left stagnant in Libya since the mid-1980s. Over the last year, a preponderance of stagnant oil wells throughout the world are under redevelopment, taking advantage of the record rise in oil prices and creating a significant demand for oil and gas well maintenance and overhaul tools, such as those patented and manufactured by Global.
About Grifco International Inc.

HUUUUUGE!!!!!"robot spyplanes to guard Europe's borders"
By Severin Carrell
Published: 04 June 2006
Fleets of unmanned "drone" aircraft fitted with powerful cameras are to be used to patrol Europe's borders in a dramatic move to combat people-smuggling, illegal immigration and terrorism.
The Independent on Sunday can today reveal that the tiny planes will fly at more than 2,500 feet over the English Channel and Mediterranean beaches as part of a £1bn programme to equip Europe's police forces, customs officers and border patrols with hi-tech surveillance and anti-terrorism equipment.
The aircraft, called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are already being used by the Belgian government to catch tankers illegally dumping oil in the North Sea. Several ships' captains have already been prosecuted.
The European Commission now wants to use similar drones, which can have a 6-metre wing-span and weigh as little as 195kg, to patrol the Mediterranean coasts and the Balkans where illegal immigrants try to enter the EU. The Russian government is also close to flying drones over its borders.
A senior commission official said: "We're convinced that this is a very good way of using military technologies for non-military purposes."
Alongside the new "spies in the sky", officials in Brussels have launched more than a dozen research projects to develop new technologies for counter-terrorism, policing and border security. They include body scanners that can see through clothing and detect explosive vests, guns or chemical weapons; portable devices that can "see" through walls and detect people moving inside buildings; and tiny radio tags that would be fitted on people inside buildings under surveillance.
However, the research programme, which will start in earnest early next year, has caused alarm among civil liberties groups and MPs. They accuse officials in Brussels of breaking EU law by starting these projects before they had been agreed by MEPs and member states. A new report by the London-based civil rights group Statewatch and the Transnational Institute in Amsterdam claims that Brussels and the European defence companies are desperate to catch up with spending in the US, where President Bush has pledged to spend $1bn (£530m) a year on "homeland security".
Ben Hayes, the author of the report, said: "Everyone agrees with more money for the police and security services to combat terrorism, but the danger is that EU policy is increasingly skewed towards a particular brand of 'security', based on military, police and corporate interests."
A British-built "spy in the sky" is already in service with the US Immigration Department, patrolling the Mexican border where millions of illegal workers cross into the US every year.
Fleets of unmanned "drone" aircraft fitted with powerful cameras are to be used to patrol Europe's borders in a dramatic move to combat people-smuggling, illegal immigration and terrorism.
The Independent on Sunday can today reveal that the tiny planes will fly at more than 2,500 feet over the English Channel and Mediterranean beaches as part of a £1bn programme to equip Europe's police forces, customs officers and border patrols with hi-tech surveillance and anti-terrorism equipment.
The aircraft, called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are already being used by the Belgian government to catch tankers illegally dumping oil in the North Sea. Several ships' captains have already been prosecuted.
The European Commission now wants to use similar drones, which can have a 6-metre wing-span and weigh as little as 195kg, to patrol the Mediterranean coasts and the Balkans where illegal immigrants try to enter the EU. The Russian government is also close to flying drones over its borders.
A senior commission official said: "We're convinced that this is a very good way of using military technologies for non-military purposes."
Alongside the new "spies in the sky", officials in Brussels have launched more than a dozen research projects to develop new technologies for counter-terrorism, policing and border security. They include body scanners that can see through clothing and detect explosive vests, guns or chemical weapons; portable devices that can "see" through walls and detect people moving inside buildings; and tiny radio tags that would be fitted on people inside buildings under surveillance.
However, the research programme, which will start in earnest early next year, has caused alarm among civil liberties groups and MPs. They accuse officials in Brussels of breaking EU law by starting these projects before they had been agreed by MEPs and member states. A new report by the London-based civil rights group Statewatch and the Transnational Institute in Amsterdam claims that Brussels and the European defence companies are desperate to catch up with spending in the US, where President Bush has pledged to spend $1bn (£530m) a year on "homeland security".

Specifically
4] I am responsible for knowing the rights, terms and obligations of all securities in my account and for monitoring the occurrence of any events (including, but not limited to, trading halts, bankruptcies, stock splits and reverse stock splits, or other corporate events commonly known as reorganizations) involving my securities positions or securities for which I intend to place an order. I acknowledge that certain securities in my account(s) may grant me valuable rights that could expire unless I take action with respect to these rights. I understand that, except as required by law or applicable rules of regulatory authorities, TD AMERITRADE and Ameritrade Clearing are not obligated to notify me of any events, including but not limited to, trading halts, bankruptcy, reorganizations or of any other events affecting the rights or obligations granted by my securities, nor does TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing have the responsibility to take any actions on my behalf with respect to such events without specific instructions from me. TD AMERITRADE and Ameritrade Clearing reserve the right to restrict trading in any security for any reason, including but not limited to, bankruptcy, reorganization or any other event. Such action does not mitigate my duty to monitor my own account nor does it create any duty or obligation on the part of TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing to take any such action on my behalf.
8] Ameritrade Clearing, acting in its capacity as clearing broker, has no responsibility or liability to me for any transactions, actions or omissions of TD AMERITRADE.
72] I shall indemnify and hold harmless TD AMERITRADE and any of the underlying Service Providers, Information Providers, licensors, employees, distributors or agents from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to my access and/or use of, or interaction with, Market Data, the Service or any Materials (including, without limitation, the Forums), or any act, error, or omission of my use of my account or any user of my account, in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, matters relating to incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information; libel; invasion of privacy; infringement of a copyright, trade name, trademark, service mark, or other intellectual property; any defective product or any injury or damage to person or property caused by any products sold or otherwise distributed through or in connection with the Service; or violation of any applicable law.
Ameritrade Clearing is authorized to borrow the securities and other property necessary to enable it to make delivery if I fail to deliver any securities or other property that Ameritrade Clearing has sold at my direction. I agree to be responsible for any cost, including the cost of obtaining the securities and other property, or loss Ameritrade Clearing may incur. Ameritrade Clearing is my agent to complete all such transactions and is authorized to make advances and expend monies as required. I release and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ameritrade Clearing from any and all liability and claims for damages resulting from any action taken pursuant to this paragraph.
All securities and other property in any account(s) in which I have an interest are subject to a consensual and general lien to discharge any and all of my debts or any of my other obligations to TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing. All securities and other property of mine will be held by Ameritrade Clearing as security for the payment of any obligation or debt in any account(s) in which I may have an interest. I hereby grant to TD AMERITRADE and Ameritrade Clearing, jointly and severally, for good and adequate consideration, the consensual and general lien described in this paragraph. Subject to applicable law, Ameritrade Clearing, may at any time and without prior notice to me, use and/or transfer any or all securities and other property interchangeably in any account(s) in which I have an interest.
I must promptly pay TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing the reasonable costs of collection of the debit balance and any unpaid deficiency in my accounts, including attorneys’ fees.
All money, securities and other property, including positions held in safekeeping or held in any TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing account(s) in which I have an interest (whether individual or jointly), are subject to a consensual and general lien, and are collateral that TD AMERITRADE and Ameritrade Clearing are authorized to sell to satisfy my debts or other obligations to TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing, regardless of whether advances have been made in connection with the securities and irrespective of the number of accounts in which I have an interest. I agree that any such money, securities and other property shall constitute collateral that TD AMERITRADE and Ameritrade Clearing are authorized to sell to satisfy my debts and other obligations to TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing. I hereby grant to TD AMERITRADE and Ameritrade Clearing, jointly and severally for good and adequate consideration, the consensual and general lien described in this paragraph.
TD AMERITRADE and Ameritrade Clearing have the authority at any time, at their discretion and without notice to me, to sell any or all of the securities or other property in my account, or to buy in any short positions, or to cancel any outstanding orders, or to require additional collateral, or to close my account in the event of, but not limited to:
My failure to meet requests for additional collateral
The filing of a petition of bankruptcy by or against me
The appointment of a receiver filed by or against me
An attachment levied against my account or an account in which I have an interest
My death
Whenever TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing may deem it necessary.
Any sale, purchase or cancellation may occur without notice or advertisement of the sale, purchase or cancellation, and I have expressly waived the right to require such notice or publication. Any such sale or purchase may be made at the discretion of TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing on any exchange or market where business is usually transacted and TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing may be the purchaser for its own account. TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing may purchase the property for its own account free from right of redemption. Thereafter, I shall remain liable for any remaining debt in my account(s).
TD AMERITRADE and Ameritrade Clearing are not required to give any notice to me prior to affecting a sell out or buy in for my account. If TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing choose to give me notice of the sale or purchase, or demand payment from me, neither TD AMERITRADE or Ameritrade Clearing is precluded from taking the actions described in these paragraphs at a later time, nor are they bound to comply with the content of such notice, regardless of my reliance upon the same.
I release and agree to indemnify and hold harmless TD AMERITRADE and Ameritrade Clearing from any and all liability, claims for damages, and losses of any kind resulting from any action taken pursuant to the Margin Account terms of this Agreement.
