Volume Estimates

Abstract Various taper systems and the centroid method were compared to unbiased volume estimates made by importance sampling for 720 hardwood trees selected throughout the state of West Virginia. Only the centroid method consistently gave volumes estimates that did not differ significantly from those made by importance sampling, although some taper equations did well for most species.

Surface Mine Reclamation

Abstract This paper reviews the state of the art of surface mine reclamation for forestry in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Legislative constraints, socioeconomic issues, factors limiting the success of reforestation efforts, post-mining land-use trends, species options, and establishment techniques are discussed. Sources of assistance to landowners or managers are given and major publications on reclamation methods are cited. Information provided in the paper also applies to coal mining states adjacent to those listed above. Citation: Northern Journal of Applied Forestry, April 1984 NJ 1:7-12.

Do you think the land mass of your state is rough? Is West Virginia rough? Colorado? Is Colorado rougher than West Virginia? When these questions were posed to a university class in mathematical modeling for preservice teachers, a lively discussion ensued. Various definitions for roughness or rugged-ness were advanced and debated. Most of these definitions or measures involved some aspect of altitude change, such as maximum altitude differences within the state; frequency of altitude change; or rate of changes in altitude expressed as steepness, or slope.

Black Agency

This chapter examines black agency during the immediate post-Civil War period of 1865-1871, a time in which African American movement and migration transforms the region. In the attempt to achieve a fuller measure of their freedom, black migrants leave Virginia and travel over the Appalachian Mountains into the newly formed state of West Virginia. Though free in the ostensibly anti-slavery state, racism impedes black aspiration. The chapter foregrounds the varied methods blacks utilize to ameliorate these barriers and constraints to build lives anew. It concludes that the primary purpose of black migration into the state and Huntington was not political or social gain but the acquisition of gainful employment affiliated with the establishment of the upstart Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.

Integrated Supply Chain

West Virginia became the 29th state in the country to legalize cannabis for medicinal purposes in 2017. Two years later, the state's medicinal marijuana program is scheduled to start enrolling patients; however, state legislators acknowledge that the program is still years behind actual implementation due to obstacles that have become seemingly insurmountable via existing channels. This paper undertakes a holistic evaluation of the value of blockchain to the nascent medicinal marijuana industry in West Virginia. Three use cases are presented to address the difficulties the state has experienced during the program's first two years of rollout efforts. Specifically, a blockchain use case is developed to address the issue of traceability to prove provenance, managing the vertically integrated supply chain and because of federal tax law the particularly cumbersome issue of collecting and storing payments.

Recent Developments

In West Virginia, healthy smokers can now sue tobacco companies to require them to fund medical monitoring for health risks associated with smoking. In Blankenship, formally known as In re Tobacco Litigation (Medical Monitoring Case), the Circuit Court for Ohio County permitted a jury to decide the medical monitoring claim, despite the clam’s novelty and controversy. The unanimous jury refused to enforce the plaintiffs’ demands, and the court denied a motion for retrial. This trial was the second attempt of the class action lawsuit; the court had previously declared a mistrial when an attorney used the word “addiction” in front of the jury.The court certified a class of residents of the state of West Virginia with more than a five “pack-year history” (at least one pack per day for five years) of smoking the defendant tobacco companies’ cigarettes, who did not have any of a list of named smoking-related illnesses, including various cancers and coronary heart disease, and who did not receive health care paid for – or reimbursed by – the state of West Virginia.
