SITTING IN HIS LINK BELT 290, Eric Dancer has been out in the woodsfor three and a half years after helping run the Dancer saw mill until 2012.“Link-Belt has been a good machine for us,” Eric explains. “We made thetransition about 3-4 years ago because of the fuel economy.”

PETE DANCER AND PETE DANCER JR. pose for a photo on their job-site just a short drive from Camas Valley. Pete Jr. went to Oregon StateUniversity and then traveled to New Zealand to work with his dad.

douglas and Coos County inoregon doing work for privatetimber landowners Plum Creek,Lone rock Timber, seneca Jonesand roseburg forest Products. itkeeps dancer Logging busy andthey’re more than willing to ad-just to demands and take everyopportunity they can get.

dancer considers himselfblessed that he has family mem-bers interested in the familybusiness, allowing him to men-tion the logging curse word of“retirement.” dancer said he’snot ready to do that just quiteyet, but he’s at least able tothink about it.

“i’ve always worked with myboys since they were reallyyoung,” he said. “Logging has itsups and downs but it's a good,solid job.”

While a family of loggers isn’tunique to the industry, the histo-ry of the dancers certainly is.

Pete and a large majority ofhis family still live on the 100-acre homestead that his mater-nal great-grandparents, albertand ora Wafer, bought back in1932, but they’re making newchapters in their legacy everytime they get up for work.

Cornhusker BeginningsThe dancer story started in

1946 when Pete’s paternalgrandparents, ray and alicedancer, moved from the Corn-husker state of Nebraska to livein Camas Valley, ore. Pete’sgrandma and grandpa were mar-ried in 1922, took a clipper shipto alaska in 1923 and spenteight years there before movingback to Nebraska until afterWorld War 2.

Pete’s own namesake, Pete

dancer sr. was killed in a log-ging accident two months beforehe was born. Pete’s mother re-married logger robert Unicumewhen Pete was 1 ½ years old,and the young dancer grew up inthe timber industry.

along with logging and hunt-ing, Pete was also active insports and graduated from Ca-mas high school in 1969. he en-rolled at Umpqua CommunityCollege as his mother wantedhim to go into the medical field.Pete would later transfer to theUniversity of oregon and paidfor his schooling by working inthe woods during the summer.as his senior year of collegeloomed, dancer decided to stayout in the woods.

Pete dancer Logging Begins

in 1975, Pete’s uncle - glenWafer - sold him a 1948 Byers

line machine and he began hisown logging company: Petedancer Logging.

Pete contract logged with hisuncle, then got into timber saleswith BLM, Usfs and small sal-vage operations. The market wasgood to him with plentiful sales.he got a 1969 Timberjack 325line skidder the next seasonwhich allowed him to indepen-dently harvest logs quicker.

Pete married his wife Bonniein 1972 and by 1975 they hadtwo sons: Pete Jr. and scott.

in the late 1970s, dancerbought his first yarder, a skagitsJ8. With a 45-foot height, theyoung company did salvage log-ging wind falls with the skagit.Pete used a Washington 40swing yarder by the 1980s, butwas looking for something differ-

gether a program that would beof huge benefits to logging opera-tors. Thus they would do awhole lot of good for the loggersand make themselves a goodpiece of change and split theirprofits with me. of course theydidn’t come to me because iknew anything about logging, orbusiness or anything else. Theycame to me because, theythought, i could get the loggerstogether to attend the seminars.

Now anyway you slice it if youcan get 100 loggers to pay out$200.00 per each for a weekendof learning and eating and suchyou come out with about$20,000.00. Now anyone smartenough to hold a seminar shouldbe able to put it on for 10 grandor less and thus about half of itis going to be profit---or shouldbe---or could be.

That is a good business. if itgave each logger one good ideathat he could work in his opera-tions it might be worth the six orseven hundred dollars it costseach logger.

if i told you everything iknew. Then told you again.Then mailed you a long lettersaying it again. it wouldn’t beworth over $37.50 tops. so i sortof didn’t take these fellows up ontheir offer. i didn’t believe wehad a product worth the askingprice.

Well now it don’t take a lot ofproducts these days to be worth

$200.00 you say. That is truebut we aren’t talking about$200.00. We are talking aboutmotel bills, traveling expenses,meals and so forth. Probablydouble the two hundred dollarmark. But we haven’t come tothe important thing yet. anyman in business for himself mustask himself: “What should i doright now to reach my goals?”.in other words is the best thingyou can do for your business istake a couple of days off andhead for a seminar? i don’tknow. The only one who can in-telligently answer that questionis you----after you get back fromthe seminar.

The other thing is that i havetwo things i try to keep in mind.one is Learning: Learning is do-ing what works, try what mightwork and quit doing what doesn’twork. [That is worth several dol-lars right there. if you believe itand use it all the time].

The other thing is that thereis only one place to go to get in-formation. That place is to theman who does what you want tofind out about.

Want to make seven milliondollars? go see the fellow thathas made 30 million dollars.Want to find out about logging?go talk to the fellow that is asuccessful logger.

You don’t find out about log-ging by talking to a CPa, or aLabor relations man, or a Politi-cian, or a Trade Magazine Pub-lisher. You find out about log-ging when you find it out from alogger.

You can find things out fromthese other people but it proba-bly won’t help you much in yourlogging business. You can’t ab-sorb much to help a businessman when you are not talking toa business man.

go back to the rules of goinginto business for instance. Theyare clearly thought out, set downin bronze and are there for all ofus to see. one of them is to nev-er go into business when you areunder financed. What a state-ment that is.

do you know a logger, or acompany or any business thathad adequate financing? ade-quate financing according to allthe experts? Not very many youhaven’t. You want to rememberthat most experts work for aguaranteed salary. Why is that?Because usually they don’t havethe confidence or the ability to gointo business. it is much easierto be a consultant or a assistantto the man who can do it.

There aren’t too many peoplethat relish the idea of doing any-thing on a strict measurementsystem which says “if i can do iti’ll get paid. if i can’t go it i’ll gobroke.” That takes some faith,some confidence, some abilityand some persistence. and a lotof other things.

Most rules for doing anythingconsists of facts. Most facts arehistory. Most engineers, CPa’s,Bankers and so on don’t know orrealize the strength and the pow-er that is generated by hard con-fident work, faith, belief and apositive persistent mental atti-

tude. a good man can getwhipped time after time but hereally isn’t whipped until youcan get him to admit it. he isthe only one who knows whetherhe is done or not.

i know of four brothers wholeft a sheltered dictorial way ofliving and came out and madetheir living on the outside. Theywound up on the West Coast.They had no great skills, noworthwhile abilities and nothingof great value they had to ex-change for those things we needto buy the things we want. Yettoday, 10 years later, three ofthose four brothers are success-ful businessmen. four brothersthat couldn’t pass any test everdevised that would let any expertgive them more than a one in amillion chance.

four hard headed, ignorant,scantily educated people that on-ly had the ability to work and tolearn. They had to work to eat.They could look at any job andbelieve they could do it. andthey could. and they did andthey got paid for it.

You see this world has plentyof talkers, of writers, of peoplewho stand on the sidelines.What this world doesn’t haveplenty of is those people who canproduce. Who can do the job.

What this world doesn’t haveenough of is contract loggers. orat least people with the powerand the knowledge and the abili-ty and the persistenance of con-tract loggers. We shall neverhave enough of those.

19GETTING LOADED NEAR GASSYCREEK is Dancer Logging’s 2007Peterbilt Legend driven by SteveWalker. The truck has Whit-Log

bunk equipment and is being load-ed by Dave Friesen’s Link Belt 240.

ent. he talked with ross Mur-ray of Thunderbird and askedfor an improved swing yarderwith a 50-foot pole. Murray built it for dancer andthe company bought it in 1984.

Pete continued to buy andsell timber sales, then startedcontracting for the local millsin the Camas Valley area. By1990, dancer Logging hadgrown to four yarders, two tow-er sides and two swing yarders.

Times were good as thecompany employed 52 full-timeguys. But then the Northernspotted owl controversy camealong and made a noticeableimpact on the local markets.access and injunctions becamea concern and Pete began tosee the writing on the wall.

moving to new Zealandin 1988, Lera - a New

Zealand logging organizationsent 9-10 people over to oregonto look at tower logging sys-tems. The country was chang-ing over from public ownershipof timber lands to privatizationand they were wondering howthey could get to the steepertimber.

With Pete’s close relation-ship with Thunderbird, theNew Zealanders had comedown to see his 255 and invitedhim and seven other loggers totheir 1990 logging show.

dancer and don Whitakerboth went back six months lat-er and dancer secured a five-year logging contract. With thebusiness climate and publiclands policy shifting in theUsa, Pete had decided to gooverseas.

While moving equipmentacross oceans may have

seemed crazy, Pe-te saw it as mov-ing his equip-ment in a marketwhere it wasworth 10 cents onthe dollar to NewZealand where itwas worth $1.50on the dollar.

Pete took acrew of five and afleet of heavyequipment - aThunderbird 255swing yarder, a90 denharco736L monoboomstroke delimber,Thunderbird 840log loader androughly $50,000worth of parts.Now a lowboywouldn’t do to geteverything downto New Zealand.

The companyPete was workingfor found an emp-ty cargo hold in san franciscoso he moved most of his equip-ment down there to be shippedout to the island nation. he al-so shipped one machine fromseattle. Pete had to sweat outgetting passports on the verylast day but made the trip witheverything in one piece.

along with actual logging,dancer went to New Zealand totrain new loggers into usingyarders on steep ground. Thebiggest challenge of that wasdespite the fact that everyonespoke english, New Zealandersusually had different terms fordifferent items and Pete had tomake sure they were talkingabout the same things.

“They didn’t really haveyarders over there to speak of,”Pete said. “There wasn’t an un-derstanding of high lead loggingso we had to train people thathad never seen it.”

Working with the NewZealand government, Petedemonstrated that the workcould be done to policy makers.one day, 110 people showed upto his jobsite - bankers andpoliticians trying to understandwhat it was all about.

dancer was also able to showthat trees that were plantedcould be turned around quicker.a 16-year old tree had value toit, Pete said, and over therebankers had been shy to loanmoney to tree farmers becausethey thought it would be 25years before they could makeany money from it.

The New Zealand governmentbuilt roads two years ahead androcked everything since therainy climate would have turneda normal logging road into soup.in the five years overseas, Petewould make trips back and forthto see family. his own familywould visit him during the sum-mer.

dancer’s oldest son, Pete Jr.,came to New Zealand in 1992 af-ter attending school at oregonstate University. he would stayand work with his dad, gettingmarried in 1993 and then spentanother two and a half years inthe country.

return to the Statesin 1995, the timber markets

in the United states had read-justed. dancer sold his 11 piecesof machinery he had in NewZealand and he returned back tooregon. at first, Pete thought hewasn’t going to get back into log-ging. That changed when her-bert Lumber out of riddle calledhim and offered to sell him theircompany side.

Pete bought it to give hisboys an opportunity to work inthe woods and that’s what theywanted to do. They formeddancer Logging, purchased aPYs 200 Pierce Pacific swing

yarder and logged old growthsales.

other mills wanted dancer tolog for them and they expandedby getting TsY Thunderbird 255and 355 swing yarders. Theymoved into second growth tim-ber as timber companies - aftergetting shut out of nationalforests - realized the potential.

“a lot of these lands werelogged in the 1940s and 50s,”Pete said. “and now we’re backout there. i’ve logged land in the1970s and relogged it again withas low as a 35-year rotation.”

dancer Logging expanded to twologging sides by 2011 with theTsY 355 swing yarder side be-ing ran by Pete Jr and a shovelside being ran by dancer’syounger son scott. They also gotinto the mill game, running asaw mill in Winchester for a fewyears. The mill was ran bydancer’s youngest son eric whograduated from oregon statewith a Masters in wood science.Pete said there was a shortage

of kiln drying capacity in thearea for hardwoods so they tookthe opportunity to expand intothat area. The mill proved to bea lifesaver when the loggingmarket slowed down around2008. dancer was able to keeppeople working at the mill whenwork out in the woods dried up.

Out in the Woods todaydancer got out of the mill

business, but has expanded theirlogging operations to threeyarder sides and one shovel side.With economy more stable,dancer Logging has their Thun-derbird 355 side, a PsY 200 sideand a Thunderbird TMY 45 side. While Pete has had trucks offand on since the 1980s, he nowhas a steady fleet of three logtrucks and a lowboy truck formoving machinery around.dancer said he could probablyexpand to even more sides if hewanted to but a limiting factorin today’s timber industry is alabor force shortage.

“There’s just not enough

young men who want to workout in the snow or 100 degrees,”Pete said.

Pete and his sons have plentyof experience in the woods to goaround. Pete Jr., who is 42, hasbeen logging since he was 19.scott has 22 years on the booksas a logger and eric has been go-ing strong out in the woods sincetransitioning from the mill.

serving local mills and timbercompanies, dancer Logging hasgone from being a couple hoursfrom home on a good day whenthey were logging in theUmpqua National forest tomuch closer jobsites while work-ing for private landowners.

“That’s the big change,” scott,who operates a self-levelingTiger Cat 855 said. “if we wereless than two and half hoursfrom home back then that wasnice. it’s closer now and a 45-minute drive makes all the dif-ference.”

Pete said that the biggest keyfor longevity in the timber indus-try has been adaptability in dif-ferent market conditions. ifthere’s one logger that can say

he’s adapted, it’s the guy that’smoved to New Zealand and back.

“We try changing with thetimes as opposed to just resistingthem,” Pete said. “You just haveto go with it.”

dancer Logging’s base of op-

erations is its shop and office

back in Camas Valley. Pete’s

wife Bonnie has been the book-

keeper for the past 40 years and

they’re training daughter in law

ashley to also hit the books.

ross Van houten has been the

company mechanic for the past

11 years and has a good under-

standing of all the computers

that the new machinery has.

if Pete needs some cutting, his

go-to guys are Brian Pachmayr

and Jeremy Woodley.

Two of Pete’s grandsons now

work for the company and the

oldest grandson, ryan, is cur-

rently going to oregon state to

become a forester. he worked for

Lone rock when he isn’t in

school, running a planting crew.

for their equipment needs,

dancer Logging works with Tri-

ad Machinery out of eugene,

ore. Pete has gotten into their

Link-Belt machines because of

their fuel economy.

“We have a really good rela-

tionship with them and they’re

not just concerned with selling

the machine but also supporting

you,” Pete said. “They back up

their warranty and they have a

mechanic ready when you need

one as opposed to when they can

send one out.”

going with his philosophy of

always adapting, dancer isn’t

afraid to try new machines. in

1984, he was the first to buy a

Thunderbird TsY 250 swing

yarder.

Pete considers himself blessed

by god to have had the opportu-

nity to work in an industry that

cares about stewardship of the

land. his company has adapted

through the years and with his

sons working with him to some-

day take the operation over,

dancer Logging is going to be

around for quite some time.

Hand SPLiCed eyeS in Wire rOPeS

in LOgging

By Brian tourFor Loggers World

(EDITOR’S NOTE: This is atwo-part series, as Brian willtake a look at six eyes thismonth and then another six eyesin the March Issue.)

Traditionally the threetuck west coast loggerseye was used by loggers

to make an eye in the end ofany piece of cable/wire rope

that was used in logging. Theolder loggers could put one inquickly and the new guyshelped and tried to figure outwhat they were doing.

as technology has intro-duced new systems of logging,skycars, motorized slack-pullers, and new types of wirerope, swaged, and power pack,there has been a need to de-velop different methods ofsplicing an eye in the end of acable. Whether it was lookingfor more strength or longerlife, these new methods havebeen developed and used ex-tensively throughout the in-

dustry.how strong is one eye com-

pared to another? ask twentyloggers that question and youmight get 19 different an-swers, heck you might get 21different answers. one loggerwill swear by a 4 tuck westcoast loggers eye, while thenext one will swear at it.

We decided to splice andpull test the different types ofeyes to help shed some lighton this subject.

This test is limited in sizeand scope, and will not proba-bly settle once and for all thequestion of, “which eye is bet-

ter”. in fact we have no inten-tion to come out the other endand say that anyone shoulduse a particular eye for a par-ticular purpose. The purposeis just to get a little more in-formation and to make surethat there is not any onesplice that should be eliminat-ed from our bag of tricks.

These are tests of the eyesstrength when new and do notaddress the issue of how theywear and how long they willlast under working conditions.

the tests were as follows..

andrew J. Brigida was bornand raised in Mahopac, NewYork, a hamlet 30 miles north ofManhattan; his father was aNYPd cop and his mother was astockbroker’s assistant. When hewas twelve, his parents retired toCave Creek, arizona, north ofPhoenix, where a few years laterhe became a business marketingmajor at arizona state University(asU). Presently he learned asUoffered an air traffic controller(aTC) major, the benefits ofwhich a neighbor and former aTCextolled. although it added afifth year to graduating, hesigned up; in May of 2013, heearned two aviation-related B.s.degrees. Meanwhile, as instruct-ed by the federal aviation ad-ministration (faa), he took itslong-standing, proven, and de-manding, eight-hour computer-based air Traffic selection andTraining exam (aT-saT); hescored 100 percent.

asU sent his name to the faawith a recommendation that hebe hired. Mr. Brigida awaited thecall from the faa to report for fif-teen weeks of training in okla-homa City followed by years ofchallenging but rewarding work.in late January of 2014, he re-

ceived an email from an faa hu-man resources official. “dear ap-plicant,” it read, “The [faa] isimplementing changes to improveand streamline the selection of[aTCs]. Your standing in ourcurrent applicant inventory is be-ing impacted by these changes.specifically, the current applicantinventories, including your appli-cation, are in the process of beingclosed and will no longer be uti-lized…. any prior applicationthat you submitted will no longerbe considered.” in other words,his aT-saT scores—once good forthree years—were invalid and hewas at the back of the line. hewas not alone; 2,000 to 3,000 oth-er highly qualified applicants gotthat news and had their names“purged” by the faa. Late lastyear, as the lead plaintiff in a fed-eral class action lawsuit, he suedthe faa and other obama ad-ministration agencies and offi-cials.

The faa did not just dump Mr.Brigida and his fellow applicants;it also abandoned a decades-old,rigorous, and effective process forhiring aTCs. Beginning in 1995,to ensure availability of well qual-ified applicants to replace thesteady and increasing stream of

retiring aTCs—mandatory retire-ment age is 56—the faa collabo-rated with universities and col-leges to create accredited degreeprograms in diverse CollegiateTraining initiative (CTi) schools,such as the one at asU whereMr. Brigida graduated. There-after, the faa gave a hiring pref-erence to veterans, those withCTi program degrees, referencesfrom CTi administrators, and“well qualified” rankings on thechallenging aT-saT—a validatedand proctored test.

The change came after an allbut unnoticed announcement byPresident obama’s new faa ad-ministrator, Michael huerta, inMay of 2013, to “transform” theagency “into a morediverse…workplace….” That wasaccompanied by a suspect analy-sis that purported to show womenand minorities as “underrepre-sented” in those the faa hired.in december of 2013, the faa be-gan its new hiring process, dis-carded its long use of the difficultcognitive assessment test, andimplemented instead a new, un-monitored, take-home, and dubi-ously effective personality test—aBiographical Questionnaire (BQ).among other questions, the BQasked: “The number of high

school sports i participated inwas?” “how would you describeyour ideal job?” “What has beenthe major cause of your failures?”“More classmates would remem-ber me as humble or dominant?”apparently the BQ did notachieve the desired results; foxNews reports faa officials helpedselected applicants cheat.

Thus, the faa—responsible forthousands of aircraft and millionsof lives each day—answered at-torney general eric holder’splea—“The question is not whendoes [affirmative action] end, butwhen does it begin[?] When dopeople of color truly get the bene-fits to which they are entitled?”here instead is the questionasked in his lawsuit by Mr. Brigi-da, son of a NYPd cop and grand-son of a Korea War Marine:“Who will restore my constitu-tional rights?”

By dany dructor, eVPas the american Loggers Council

enters its 22nd year as “The Na-tional Voice for Professional Timberharvesters,” we wish to take this op-portunity to give a special “ThaNKYoU” to all of our sponsors whohave helped us to survive not only fi-nancially, but added substance toour efforts through their participa-tion at various aLC meetings overthe years.

While the list of names is not un-common to anyone familiar with ourindustry, oftentimes this editorial isread by those outside of the industrywho are not aware of the impactthat the timber harvesting profes-sion has on communities that mayor may not have wood consumingprocessing facilities in their area,yet are dependent on the manufac-turing and service sector jobs thatsupport our industry.

The american Loggers Councilremains committed to being the onlynational organization solely dedicat-ed to representing the independentlogging contractor, but in doing so,will continue to benefit the goodsand services that our sponsors pro-vide. The following organizationsrecognize that their organizations

are supported by loggers, and theloggers of the aLC will supportthem as well:

funding fOr timBer, WiLd-fire SuPPreSSiOn

in mid-december it appeared anagreement would be reached to fixthe nation's broken system of wild-fire funding while increasing thepace and scale of forest health pro-jects on federal lands. spurred by anunprecedented coalition of industry,conservation and outdoors groups,and thanks to your engagement andsupport, bipartisan members in boththe house and senate had agreed toinclude the negotiated package inthe fiscal 2016 omnibus bill, whichCongress passed before the holidaysto keep the government running.

The bipartisan agreement pro-vided a streamlined process underfederal environmental laws for haz-ardous fuel reduction, collaborativetimber projects and early succes-sional habitat for wildlife species. itwould have authorized new forestmanagement programs that wouldprotect watersheds and water quali-ty. To fix wildfire spending, theagreement would fund some portionof the firefighting budget from disas-ter relief funds, and would havemade more funding available for for-est management projects.

Yet there was nothing under thetree for our forests and rural com-munities this Christmas. accordingto multiple media reports, the agree-ment was abandoned due to opposi-tion, for different reasons, from theleading republican and democrat

on the senate energy & Natural re-sources Committee.

Though forest management re-forms were not included in the om-nibus legislation, the forest servicereceived another $580 million in ad-ditional fire suppression funding.The omnibus also provided modestincreases in funding for timber har-vesting, tree-thinning, brush re-moval and other projects to reducefire dangers. While this will likelyensure the forest service has thefunding it needs to fight fires in2016, it is very disappointing thatCongress once again failed to ad-dress the cause of our larger and un-naturally severe wildfires.

The problems our forests andcommunities are facing are not go-ing away. fortunately, there is agrowing bipartisan recognition inCongress that broken federal forestpolicies must be fixed. We will con-tinue to support measures such asresilient federal forests act andother solutions that restore thehealth of our forests while puttingmore rural americans back to work.Congressional leaders have pledged,once again, to address these issuesbefore the 2016 wildfire season be-gins in late spring. Please staytuned in the weeks ahead.

The American Loggers Council is a non-profit 501(c) (6) corporation representingprofessional timber harvesters in 30states across the US. For more informa-tion, visit their web site at www.ameri-canloggers.org or contact their office at409-625-0206.
