CAUUfUA Clho .ii lm. ! vH, Meet the Director TRANSITIONS - The first graduating class of 1973 is having its tenth anniversary reunion in 1983, and by the quirk of our num- bering system, the eleventh class will be graduating. Thus, 1983 is both the end of the first ten and the beginning of the next ten years, and I feel particularly honoured to have been able to join the group. Graduates, students, and staff have achieved much in this time, and as the School continues to develop its three programs, curricula and administration are going to be changing to reflect current and forecasted needs. Thus it is planned to have full faculty status in the near future, and to have program chairman responsible for the technical, degree, and post-graduate programs. Knowing exactly what is going to be needed in the future is, needless to say, not possible, but the faculty believes we will be able to maintain the excellence of our programs, and contribute to the excellence of our graduate in spite of the severe financial constraints currently being experienced by all Universities. I mentioned ... contributing to the excellence of our graduates ... because we only contribute. The intrinsic qualities of you as students, and graduates, including your motivation, academic prowess, sense of identity, and yes, esprit de corps, all constitute the major contributions to your excellence. One recent example was the awarding by the Society of American Foresters of the Award of Merit for Harvest 1981 . Your publication ranked 4 in 16 for North America, and I believe all students have a right to be justly proud, especially when the School of Forestry yearbook is the only one at Lakehead. For the future, the usual foggy crystal ball is, with current economic uncertainties, virtually opaque. I nonetheless still feel that technically competent, ecologically and economically sensitive, and socially aware foresters will remain in high demand. Now that some of the 1973 graduates have gained valuable experience, they are becoming actively involved in our teaching programs. I trust that those of you graduating in 1983 won ' t feel obliged to wait 10 years to make your inputs because we need them on a continuing basis in order to maintain our quality and viability. I hope you agree, and that you will always feel welcome. lin ike compltmenis of A.

Deg. I classes, we have retained the true spirit of full-fledged apathy. For example, we ha e not as yet acquired a class name, although certain ideas, such as The Psycads have been proposed. Perhaps in the near future (at least before 1986!) we ' ll find some word to describe us! All in all, we had a great time getting to know each other, in class and after class (especially through recreational cruising!). Next year we might even shock ourselves and get involved in some activities! No matter what, I ' m sure we ' ll have as good a time as we did this year. I try not to let school inter- dwi fere with my social life! 15 Field School Field School proved to be a great time for one and all. We even found lime to learn something. Tech I found 101 ways to learn the same thing told by dif- ferent profs. Deg I went ' leafing ' through the bush with garbage bag in hand, and came close to leaving the country in their quest for Dendro. Some Tech II ' s decided to get their feet and everything else wet by spending a rainy night in Raith. Degree II learned a valuable lesson in handling a chainsaw (Right Juha?!!) and how not to pinch a fire hose (Right Rob?) Life was the pits for Degree III, soil, soil, and more soil!! Degree IV had a great party going (What No Booze?) at Rinker Lake. What are we foresters turning into? Well, back to classes. Good Luck!!! Once you get to the freeway - it ii fe ' ' .Cw ' i.

This year it was actually sunny, so the newcomers had it easy. September 25 was the chosen day. Rowdy, enthusiastic first year techers and degree- ers flocked to the pits, which were hosted by the Coureurs de Bois and Tekers dontus karus classes. The annual Miss DBH (sorry guys, only females are allowed to compete) and Mr. Butt contests were held. Cheryl (Leather) was crowned Miss DBH and only Mr. Butt knows for sure who he is.

This year we sa our Techers win the Forestry Baseball Tourney, play their hearts out in broomball, skate circles around the opposition in hockey, a spirited effort by our curling team (way to go Joan, Jeff, Arlene, Andy and Dave) and a valiant attempt by those that participated in the Engineer ' s bus pull. How about our memorable Harvesting field trip, and is Gonzo still in the photo lab? I think it ' s safe to say we are all glad to get that out of the way. To bring the year to a close, I ' m certain our grad will be a success.

It was the nippy October morning after the Corn Roast when the Forestry teams slugged onto the field. The day was overcast, and although hung over, a spark of indominable forester spirit was on the fields. The games were an array of baseball expertise outfielding incompetence, and beer. In the end, it was the Tech II all-stars up against the best of the Coureurs de Bois. The result was the Degree II team going down to a rather crushing defeat, after a day of Calsbergs. Congratulations Tech II for a fine performance Tech II: 1983 Champions!!

As always there were those few confused souls who actually decided to race and they were soon out of sight despite our best efforts to talk them out of it. One team, sensing their inevitable defeat, hailed the first passing cabin cruiser and spent the rest of the trip eating granola bars and drinking. The one casualty of the race (D R racing team) learned the difficulty of ' watering the grass ' from mid-stream but luckily were pulled from the chilly waters of the McKellar. When the waters finally stilled and the paddles laid to rest we found the Outdoor Rec ' s had finished first and second again. Ken and Dick Morden lead with a time of 1 hr. 49 min., followed by Bernie Brault and Angle Walton at 2 hr. 11 min. Coming in a close third to uphold the foresters honour were Peter Harpe and Peter Green (better take the portage next year guys!). Congratulations to all the other teams for making the day a great success. Whadda YA mean You lost the paddle . For years now ... Speed it up guys!

Les Bucheron! A special breed of forester that somewhat resembles their symbol if not in body, at least in spirit. This means that they are all as ferocious as the Hulk and they all spread terror throughout LU not with a double-bladed axe, but with a hockey stick, or soccer shoes, or just with brilliant mental skills. Engineer: Oh ya, and just where have these brilliant mental skills gotten you? Les Bucheron: Well, for starters, our soccer team has been invited to participate in the next world cup. Artsie: Wow! Les Bucheron: Herald Balard wants to purchase our hockey teams. Outdoor Recker: Ohhh! Les Bucheron: And to be able to play on our water polo team you, like a frog, must have webbed feet and ribbit. Lorax: Now that ' s brilliant. And our skills don ' t stop there. We also excel academically. In fact, I heard through the grapevine that Great Lakes will be opening up 40 vice-presidential positions just so some of next year ' s graduates can have a deserving job.

After a crash course in the Dutch train system, we arrived in Arnhem where we were immediately made welcome by 14 Dutch students. After taking a short chainsaw course, we left our mark on the Dutch landscape. It was quite an experience. At the end of the summer, we were really sorry to say goodbye to all the wooden shoes, wind- mills, and blond, blue-eyed males. Thanks to all who helped make the exchange possible.

The race began and ended on the pottery road and was a relay-style race. Highli ghts of the race: at the first bump, almost all carts were involved in a pileup (luckily most riders wore helmets); the ramp in front of the library proved to be too narrow for one extremely long cart. The winner of the best decorated cart was the Hell ' s Angel team with their souped up cart. For an un- precedented 3rd year in a row, first place was snatched by the fleet-footed Colt 45 ' ers. Maybe the consumption of pre-race fuel helped them win. Anal Pores picked up second place and Team Rossi came in third. Next year ' s race should be a thriller with the OLD Colt 45 team attempting to hold off the YOUNG Anal Pores. Pre-race preparation. The 1983 Har B.Sc.F.

In ' 82, there were 13 enrolled in the fields of: Silviculture, Fish and Wildlife, Genetics, Biometrics and Harvesting, with almost half beginning their first year. Most have their B.Sc.F., but allied disciplines such as Biology and Forest Engineering are also applicable. The program emphasizes research in methods of renewing and improving forest resources and main- taining the forest environment. The head of Lakehead ' s Senate Graduate Studies Committee is Stan Walker, and Chairman of the Graduate Studies Committee is Ken Brown. GENETICS Frances Bennett, 3rd yr. (Dr. Parker) Frances is studying genetic variation among three N.A. west coast species whose ranges overlap. (A. procera, the intermediate variety: A. MAGNIFICAVAR, SHASTENSIS, and A. MAGNIFICA.) Gene exchange patterns between or within these species are explored using flavonoids, a species-specific chemical characteristic of needles. Tom Krickl, 3rd yr. (Dr. P. Knowles) Tom is comparing the genetic variability of PICEA MARIANA from improved source (of the Ontario Tree Improvement Program) and natural stock. Since disease resistance is closely related to genetic variation, improved stock most similar to natural in this respect will be more desirable. Gwen O ' Reilly, 2nd yr. (Dr. Parker) Geographic variability of PICEA MARIANA across Northern Ontario, and lowland upland ecotype dif- ference is Gwen ' s thesis topic. Morphological characteristics of the cones and needles are the criteria for her study; also, proteins in the foliage and seeds, called isozymes are useful. Laird Van Damme, 1st yr. (Dr. Parker) In a continuation of his undergraduate thesis. Laird is assessing the efficiency of alternate plus - tree selection methods for PICEA MARIANA. F. Bennett, M. Harvey, C. Sutherland. R. Collier, L. VanDamme. D. Thompson ' K. Kavanagh SILVICULTURE Bill Towell, 3rd yr. (Dr. Day) Bill is studying the growth and yield patterns of PICEA GLAUCA, P. GLAUCA plantations, POPULUS TREMULOIDES, and mixed woods to determine the timing and aspen density at which competition between aspen and spruce begins. This data will be used to time herbicide application and hand release (cleaning) to release spruce. Mark Harvey, 1st yr. (Dr. Day) Mark is experimenting with various preconditioning and storage procedures for PICEA GLAUCA seedlings to quantify the effects on outplanting performance. Three methods of storage and the effects of wrenching (preconditioning) on the degree and timimg of dor- mancy were evaluated. Spring planting is his final phase to determine wrenching effectiveness and the best storage method. Craig Sutherland, 1st yr. (Dr. Day) Craig is attempting to determine the optimum size and shape of container necessary for the production of high quality black spruce contai ner seedlings. Twelve container sizes (4 volumes x 3 shapes) have been manufactured and will be used to test seedling growth in the greenhouse phase and after outplanting. Mark Rosiek, 1st yr. (Clarke Brown) Mark ' s thesis is in conjunction with a project of Clarke Brown, which has been on-going since June, ' 80. Factors that influence ' free-to-grow ' status in PICEA MARIANA and PINUS BANKSIANA will be studied. ' Free-to-grow ' refers to a certain height and growth rate of a stand when reestablished. BIOMETRICS Johanna Kavanagh, 3rd yr. (Murchison) Johanna ' s research is comprised of a two-part study: 1) the development of two computer programs to process stem analysis data from Lakehead ' s digimicrometer. 2) the accuracy of volume estimates obtained using dif- ferent sampling intensities for PICEA GLAUCA. Randy Collier, 1st yr (Murchison) Randy (last year ' s Harvest editor), is attempting to fit the Weibull distribution to yield data collected from a past project of L.U. This will provide PICEA MARIANA yield tables for N.W. Ontario. Take comfort Randy, Weibulls wobble but they don ' t fall down. HARVESTING Dave Thompson, 3rd yr. (G.L.F.P.) In cooperation with Great Lakes F.P., Dave is evaluating the line transect method as an inventory technique for estimating the amount of forest residue remaining in a cutover. This efficient method is im- portant for better wood utilization and for measuring fuel, but has never been tested in Ontario before. FISH AND WILDLIFE Bill Dalton, 3rd yr. (Gumming) Bill is studying the foraging patterns of beaver in poplar stands to determine their efficiency according to the optimal foraging theory, (energy minimization, food maximization, predator avoidance, etc. ...) 47 Let ' s talk teamwQik. 4t Great Lakes Forest Products we have a team of 5700 persons. They are engaged in timber harvesting, reforestation and the production of newsprint, kraft pulp, fine paper, lumber and waferply. The careers involved range from engineering and mechanical trades, to accounting and personnel. To maintain an operation as complex as this, a wide variety of occupations is essential. Your skills may one day become a welcome addition to our industry.

The CFWD has launched a nation wide campaign to plant trees in Canada. The UN has asked Canadians to raise money for the growing of nursery stock in Haiti, a country that is 91% deforested. LUFA members have raised over $200.00 for this purpose through the sales of buttons, mugs and T-shirts. We have also been in contact with several schools who have expressed an interest in participating in tree planting projects. T-shirts. 55 Forest Management in Ontario Symposium Ready Or Not!! THE COMMITTEE: Rick Lambert, Simon Tanner, Leslie Hawkins, Chris Cohlmeyer. PANEL: P. Corbett, R. Monzon, A. Currie, G. Patterson, J. McNicol, S. Courtney. dwi M. Squires The CIF held their 75th anniversary this year and the Northwestern Ontario section alHed themselves with LUFA to produce the 15th Annual Symposium. The theme was The Managed Forest in Ontario, Are We Ready? . The seminars were aimed at the public, a group which seems deter- mined to ignore things that are in their own interest. However the different format of the sessions, the speakers, and the interest of the audience all combined to make the symposium a success. Our speakers told us where we are in management right now and why, and that if we start using the plans and techniques now becoming available we may have a well managed forest someday. The Dinner and Dance was held this year at the Holiday Inn and approximately 130 people stuffed themselves on roast beef. Tom Krickl, a transplant, remembered field school for us, although perhaps not precisely as we remember it, and Fat Chance had everyone rocking and polkaing for the third year in a row. Many thanks to the committee members from both LUFA and the CIF for their efforts. P. Corbett and J. McNicol. dwi J. Jackson 56 1 ML -ni The Woodsmen John Andres Ron Solecki Ray Wagner During the 1982-83 year Lakehead Woodsmen participated in three competitions: November - Sir Sandford Fleming College; January - McDonald College; March - Lakehead U.

Harvest ' 83 is a record that documents one year in the life of Lakehead University Forestry students. This edition is the eleventh one printed. As you look through the pages, I hope that it will bring a few smiles and chuckles to your lips. I believe that the most important component of this school of forestry is the people. In a production like this, it is impossible to get pictures of everyone. Somebody always manages to elude the class photographer. Tech transfer students are especially hard to track down. Perhaps if your picture isn ' t with the class, it is among one of the candids. My apologies to those people who didn ' t make it into the yearbook. A lot of hard work went into the production of Harvest ' 83 . We have big steps to follow. The 1981 edition of Harvest , which was edited by Mark Stevens (who was voted Forester-of-the-Year in 1982), won an award from the American Society of Foresters. We hope to keep up the tradition. There is too much work for one person alone, but as you can see from the facing page, I had lots of help. Ray Wagner spent many hours in the darkroom developing high quality photos; Teresa Holla faithfully typed everything I gave her (she will be the editor for Harvest ' 84); Peter Hanmore took most of the pictures; friendly Darlene O ' Brien chased after new advertisers; Susanna Grimes took the initiative to do a survey of summer jobs; Margaret Penner kept track of all the money; Leslie Hawkins did a bit of everything; Peter Harper helped out whenever he could find the time. Many other people also contributed their time and talents, just look at the list of photographers. Then there are the artists, the class reps who sold books, and people who just came up with some neat ideas. Me, I just puttered around and told everyone else what to do so I wouldn ' t have to do anything. Enjoy your yearbook. AOjvJtaa Q..
