Harvest 1982 Volume X Published by Lakehead University Forestry Association Thunder Bay, Onta P7B 5E1 BM From the Top ' Well, the new kid in town , as I have been called has now been with you 14 months, and finds himself in a hazardous situation of thinking that he knows what ' s going on! While that may not be the case exactly, I do have a much better idea of the vitality and strengths of the students of Lakehead University School of Forestry and of the institution itself. This past year, we have had more forestry students enrolled than at any of the other five Canadian schools. Although we don ' t have the largest faculty, we do have a hard working one. In addition to their teaching respon- sibilities, they have initiated a review of our curricula, engendered about $350,000 worth of research grants and contracts, prepared major equipment and research development proposals and participated in a university-wide review and planning exercise. The prospects for the School are very promising, but our successes haven ' t been without losses. Prof. D. Mead resigned last year, and while Professors David, Hazenberg, and Yang are on sab- batical leave, we have had to scramble. Professors D. Walker and N. Phillips have been welcomed additions to our faculty, and we hope to acquire more like them. Larry Bockus and Joe Kapron joined the technical side of the team, and our latest member is Alvina Faykes, who is helping in the front office. We are planning to upgrade the equipment in the remote sensing and photo-interpretation laboratories, and to equip the forest management laboratories with data analysis equipment, and the biological laboratories with plant storage and analysis facilities. These improvements are the first steps we are taking to develop and improve all of our programs. To some of you, this may appear to have come too late. But despite current market problems, the demand for all types of foresters is going to increase. The era of the managed forest is dawning and the educational training ob- tained through us must be first class. Please remember that your education begins rather than ends here. The demands made on you by society, the profession, and the forest for its conservation (i.e. wise use) are going to be very great. Consider the doors always open for more Lakehead experience. In the past year some progress has been made towards our mutual goal of making Lakehead ' s forestry program second to none. You, as students, and graduates, make a significant contribution to the achievement of that goal. I no longer feel like the new kid in town - thank you for your welcome. A.J. Kayll Director MJS 4 In the Forest Autumn Means Rest MJS MJS For LU Foresters it Signals Fall Activities 5 If life is a bowl of cherries ... What am I doing in the pits? Being initiated into a forester, that ' s what! On a chilly September afternoon, les Bucherons and the Teachers welcomed in the first year foresters with style. The ceremonies commenced with the annual Miss DBH and Mr. Butt contests. The guys had a hard time choosing between all the buxom beauties, but finally selected Rosemary Ryder-Burbidge as the winner. The men put on a fine performance, but, Mike Desrochers stole the show and was named Mr. Butt. The first year foresters then went through shit pit after shit pit, and learned not to trust the helping hand . The promise of a cold beer and a warm fire across the river at the end of the course kept the foresters enthusiastic and rowdy. Special thanks to the guys who dug the pits and got things rolling. Everyone had one helluva good time. You ' ll love it baby! RES gas f T The helping hand . RES RES What ' s on Second? Les Bucherons baseball team, that ' s, what! They played through galeforce winds, snow, rain and beat out Lorax and alumni to take the championship. Despite sub-zero temperatures, everyone who par- ticipated had a good time. Ha Ha, try and hit this sucker ball. Try this one on for size. Ready and waiting. Shivering in the dugout. Kam-Am Canoe Race How about a tow? RES The easy life! RES The annual Kam-Am Canoe Race was a huge suc- cess. The foresters had a lazy, enjoyable day while the competitive wreckers dominated the winner ' s circle. The water was just too enticing for a certain couple, who decided to take a plunge, and lost some cargo in the process. The electric paddles didn ' t work, and the officer took away Vic ' s shotgun (honest officer, I was only trying to wing ' em). One astounding victory was achieved by the foresters - the backwards race championship. Congratulations go to the winners: Hugh Dobson and Dave Howe (Men ' s Doubles); Carol Gibb and Mary Slater (Women ' s Doubles); and Sally Thomson and Dave Kaegi (Mixed Doubles). The participants had the perfect wind-up to a perfect day at the annual corn roast. The woodlot was ablaze with several gigantic bonfires, and people were a-havin ' a great time. Did anyone out there find the corn? When you ' re happy and you know it, cross your blades!! IT —- RES An easy portage. RES RES RES Shine On! This soar 1 akehead University Shinerama raised approximately $2450 for Cystic Fibrosis research. The top 3 teams were simply out-shining this year. They raised almost half of the total. Ugo Feunekes, Guy rhauvette, lan McCormick, Mark Steven and Bill W iltshire have shown what a little determination and effort can do for Cystic Fibrosis. Participation was up, but amount raised was down. This is likely due to the short number of hours most people spent shining. Thanks to John Wynn, Mike Rose, and Leslie Hawkins. Also, best of luck to Shinerama ' 82. Participate next year!

No, those crazy foresters are at it again, running over people and causing havoc. It ' s not the local Spaceway, it ' s the LU campus, seen from all directions by the passenger in the shopping cart. The Colt 45 ' ers won the race for the second year in a row!! Congratulations Vic Miller, Rob Howe, Rick Leary, Scott Ronson, and Mike Rose. Colt 45 ' ers in the winner ' s circle. MJS Fierce competition. Hold on to your hat! 1 1 Weyerhaeuser Lectures ' 81 This year ' s Weyerhaeuser Lecture Series topic was the Nutritional Status and Fertilization in the Forest . The event began on the eve of November 19 with Dr. E.H. White of the University of New York. Dr. White ' s informative lecture explained the amazing effects of fertilization observed in his at the U. of N.Y. The 10 ft. per year growth of Carolina Poplar was the most impressive point. Dr. I. Morrison from the Great Lakes Forest Research Centre spoke on the second evening. This talk was of the current research on fertilization in the Boreal Forest. The final point was that fertilization is still in the experimental stage. Finally, the audience and the speakers met at a social for snacks and hot discussion over cold beer. A toast to the Committee for an excellent event! Speakers receive tokens of our appreciation. SBS Wake up Professor Day! SBS SBS YOUR UNIVERSITY Serving Northwestern Ontario since 1965 . . .

Researchers at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources are presently experimenting with this technique of growing poplar from tissue culture. If it is successful, the Ministry can then mass produce thousands of genetically superior plantlets for its regeneration program, The method involves placing leaf, stem or branch tissue into a growing medium in tubes a controlled vironment. Callous develops the tissue and is transferred to a second growing medium where shoots are produced. The shoots are then removed to a third growing medium for root development. The result? A new tree! Ministry of Natural Resources Hon ..Alan W. Pope Minister W. T.

RW Year 1 has just flown by for Lakehead ' s latest addition to forestry, the graduating of ' 85 (Who knows what their name is, it may just remain for. Deg. 1 ). Initiation. What can I say except it was the absolute pits, (Couldn ' t resist it). Classes. They would have been great if we could have stayed awake. As far as class Par- ticipation, apathy is great and I hope it improves next year. The year ended in a typical forestry fashion at the Waves, but no one is able to remember exactly what happened. Seriously, it was a good year and the class shows potential, esp. in indoor soccer. Tech I TECHUS DONTUS KAREUS For most first year techs, field school was nothing new, we take holidays all the time! We learned about a couple of new plants and how to use some outdated tools. Wearing what is referred to as the Tech Look the Techs managed to put Degree I in their place.

Just as this was the Year of the In- tramural, it was also the Year of the Essay. Profs found it was tres fashionable to assign essays (8) all due around the same time. Our vocabulary also improved with favourites as fruiting bodies , But Tom ... you ' re a reasonable man , and the old favourite, But sir ... whine, whine. Some high points of the year include: Soils Social, the S B (stitch and Bitch: sorry your timing was off guys!), the 2nd annual cookie party, the rumoured meeting of the .125 club, fatherdom, and of cour se the LAST time most of us ever have to stare down a pie-faced Dr. Diptera.

The Speakers. 1 mm 1 mm After Dinner Thoughts. And we all had a really good time. Public What? The 14th annual LUFA Symposium dealt with Public Awareness of Forestry and it ' s Implications. The two days of lectures were interesting, eye-opening , and somewhat disconcerting. The general consensus of the speakers was that foresters must shake the image of the hidden profession and impress, upon the public, the importance of forestry to this country. Bill Fullerton, Ross Howard, Neils Carl, and Ted McHale indicated that Government as well as industry must publicize what they are doing to improve the present situation of the forest sector. At this time foresters do not have a good public image, particularly during times of conflict with special interest groups over such issues as the Whitewater Wilderness Area vs G.L.F.P. Ltd. harvesting operations conflict. It is something that all foresters as professionals, are going to have to deal with more and more in the future. The Symposium Dinner and Dance at the Red Oak Inn was once again a success. The meal was good, Herb Bax delivered an entertaining and thought provoking after dinner speech, and then Fat Chance provided the dance music. Thanks should be extended to all of the symposium committee members who put forth the time and effort to make the whole show possible. Ian McCormack 61 The facts s figures on daily interest sayings.

Grande Prairie Alberta 62 The Rings On Friday the 5th of March 1982, the tenth graduating class of foresters from Lakehead University gathered at the Airlane Hotel for the annual ring ceremony of the CIF. The evening was highlighted by dinner, speeches, a slide tape show, and of course the presentation of the rings. The most memorable part of the evening comes in two parts, Paul Krabbe ' s speech Grecian Formula Anyone? (Sorry Crandall) and of course the memories of stem analysis on white birch (Being certain to pile the bolts neatly on the side of the road). The other memorable part of the evening was the slide tape show which managed to embarrass almost every member of the graduating class. Fortunately only one person had to do some explaining to his parents. (I ' d ditch that hat Ian!) The final question that the ring ceremony brings to mind is, did anybody count the bottles of wine that certain people placed under a table? 63 64 On February 27, 1982, LUFA held its second annual Forestry Day. Several professors, students, and local businesses set up forestry displays in the Agora. Out in the field, woodsmen teams from the USA and Ontario competed in the LU invitational woodsmen com- petition. The public was invited to come out and view the competition and displays. The highlight of the day was the superlogger event. One competitor from each team did 5 different logging events - all in a row! Big Al from Unity, Maine was proclaimed male superlogger, and Ingrid Russell from LU was crowned female superlogger. Unity, Maine walked away with first place in the men ' s division, and the LU gals won the women ' s overall trophy. Thanks to Ralph Spaans and his committee for organizing the event.

Way to go guys - let ' s go for a hat trick! On Saturday Jan. 23, 1982, despite blowing snow and freezing temperatures, 13 fool-hardy woodsmen teams competed in the carnival woodsmen competition. More axe handles were broken than logs were chopped through during the log chopping event. There were some fine performances; Rob Howe got 85 100 in the axe throw event; Dave Bogensberger piled pulp logs in 30 seconds; and Chris Nanni gobbed an amazing 9.2 meters! Severe frostbite was avoided through the consumption of large doses of anti-freeze. Afterwards, everyone warmed-up at the Bushman ' s Brawl, where the winners were announced. These were: Men ' s team No. 16, Dennis Rossit; Women ' s team No. 12, Francis Youck; co-ed team, Rob Howe. Congrats to ALL!!

Tech I learned all there was to know about geology from the back of the bus. Frank demonstrated to them tremendous cutting skill. Degree I collected all kinds of plants and learned to trust their compasses. Degree II learned to drive a skidder and identify 50 different species of birds, with the help of the handy- dandy field guide. A word of experience: initial attack can be a muddy experience. At Thessalon, Lorax dug a few soil pits, picked up a few diseases, dug a few soil pits, identified a few herbs and dug a few more soil pits. They also discovered Cream Pie is Prof. Eiber ' s favourite food. Some Ginkgoes decided to swim across Lake Huron, but got tired of walking. Important discoveries were made, but no one remembers what they were. Due to heavy herbicide exposure, Ginkgoes rushed to local pubs to dilute the effects. Between all these activities, a few trees got thinned and pruned. Tech II can answer any questions you want to know about Raith but were afraid to ask. There ain ' t no buried treasure down there.

Woodsmen Team headed east to the University of New Brunswick for the 2nd consecutive year. Nineteen guys and girls van-danced for 36 hours in an attempt to pass the time on the way to UNB ' s 18th Inter-Collegiate Woodsmen Competition. Needless to say, a good time was had by all as the green and red ' boxes ' passed the miles away. Weeks of practice fortunately paid off as Lakehead ' A ' placed 10th out of 30 teams.

Mark Stevens, Leslie Hawkins, and Tim Moulton have put in hours of work in getting advertising for the book. A special thanks to Guylaine Thauvette, Francis Youck, and Teresa Holla who have spent hours on typing, layouts, and proof reading. Raymond Wagner did most of our darkroom work and Rohn Solecki, Mark Stevens, Shannon Stone, Peter Hanmore, and Rob Whalley did their best to keep him busy. Susan MacBrien took care of our accounts. Thanks must be given to Rohn Solecki for his suggestions and support. Margret Penner and Susanna Grimes also helped out with ideas, pictures, and work. As is obvious by now, many people have put out a lot of time and effort to bring out this book. I hope that you have enjoyed reading through this yearbook. If you think that you can make a book better than this one please make youself known to the staff of Harvest ' 83. Fran Youck will be editing next year ' s Harvest and she will need some help. If you have noticed that eight of the staff of this book have graduated you will appreciate the number of people that are required to bring out a book. If you an concerned about doing things for people, get involvec with Shinerama, or the Symposium or Weyerhausei Committees. If you enjoy sports have a go at Loggei sports try-out for the Woodsman ' s Teams. Or if you care to try something really different lend a hand tc publish this yearbook. People who care to layoul pages, or take pictures or draw artwork are needed. The number of things that have to be done to make a yearbook seem to be endless. A final word on Spirit, Forestry students are noted for having a lot of it, so keep it up. Participation in events is a funny thing, if you put a lot into it, you will get back a good deal more than you expected.
