P7B 5E1 [Lakehead PS University] FROM THE TOP ... DIRECTOR ' S COMMENTS For those of you graduating this year, it seems a bit ironic to see or hear of new installations in the School, and realize you are not going to be here to enjoy them. However, this is characteristic of any dynamic faculty, and in this respect, the School of Forestry is no different than any other. The major installation this past year or so was the computer-based geographic information system in our new Centre for Application of Resources Information Systems (Caris) under the management of Prof. H. Westbroeck. The B.I.L.D. grant for the hardware and software was $250,000, and having powered-up on December 1, 1983, Prof. Westbroeck and his group are striving to have the system on-line for resources analysis projects as quickly as possible. A second major grant for $100,000 per year for three years was received from NSERC for development of tree breeding and forest genetics research with Dr. R. Farmer as principal scientist, working with a team with Profs. P. Knowles, A. Macdonald, W. Parker and K.C. Yang. And late in 1984, under Prof. C. Benson ' s initiatives, we received notice of a $116,500 grant to equip our undergraduate forest management teaching laboratories with an array of 40 microprocessors, complete with several printers, two plotters and two digitizing pads. The University has now completed a major study of space requirements and, if all goes well, the School of Forestry will be moving completely to the Braun Building by the end of 1985. We will share the building with the Computer Centre, and the move will not only give us additional space, but also our first opportunity to design, or re-design, all our teaching and research laboratories. For 1984-85, Profs. R. Clarke, H. Cumming, and T. Eiber were on sabbatical leave and the School had Profs. G. Redmond, T. Richmond, H. Kulman and P. McAlister to take their places. We have all enjoyed their inputs, and I hope you, the students, have found their contributions interesting and challenging. For the coming year, no one will be on leave, and so we are going to lose the very significant contributions of Prof. J. Flowers. I ' m sure I speak for everyone in extending our heartfelt thanks to him for his contributions to academic and development objectives. And finally, but perhaps most importantly, the School has departmentalized , with program chairmen appointed for the diploma program (Prof. D. Richardson), the degree program (Dr. G. Murchison), and in the postgraduate degree program (Dr. K. Brown). This restructuring of the School, together with comprehensive curricula reviews, will add materially to the quality of our programs and the opportunities for maintaining or improving our student- faculty interaction. I hope that you will agree with me that the School is doing well, and that it is looking forward to a healthy and exciting future. I also hope that you as graduates, will always feel welcome, and that you will drop in whenever possible. 6 mm ' i Gary Murchison DO If I ' m not here make an appoint- ment Herr Hazenberg DO I don ' t want to insult your intelli- gence, but...

Not a leaf was left unturned in the first years ' quest for samples. The arboretum was left bare in their wake. The second years ' scoured the countryside with their pocket stereoscopes, searching for the secret of photogrametry. Let ' s hope they found it! The third years ' peered into every crack and crevice in the forest floors and they discovered dirt. The fourth years ' ?. ..well, they spent their time in Thessalon, and we all know what goes on in Thessalon!

The majority of us persevered the grueling exams, assign- ments.... and somehow always managed to remain on the true foresters path. This course designed for the courageous, the bold, and the fearless, presented us with the objective to make it as a forester if not as a lush! But not all our memories are related thru alcohol consumption. Just thinking of some of our professors caused us the same type of sensory disorder! Let ' s be serious. We had a great year! Hopefully this initial year served to increase your interest in this rather intriguing field. 19 TECH I The first year has indeed been a very challenging and eventful year to remember. It all began with Field School, the beginning of a new life and the start of all to follow... those good and exciting Mens and Dendro courses... to say nothing about the hot stuff learned in the fire stimulator! There have also been some fun times shared particularly in initiation, at the corn roast, in the shopping kart race and the many sports events organized by LUFA. All of which have led to some spirit amongst Tech I. Thanks to the dedication of a chosen few, Tech I has been a successful year. Balsam 12! Do you hear me? SM C ' mon Allison, you can figure it out.

DO SHOPPING CART 84 Shortly before 12.30 pm on Friday November 9, two sleek shiny vehicles approached the pottery road. The race con- sisted of Team Cannibis (Tech I) going against Team Hashish (Degree II). The teams were even until the first ramp up the sidewalk where D.J. gave his impression of a flying forester. It looked as though Tech I had too much of a lead to catch, but the tables turned at the library wheelchair ramp. The Cannibis boys hooked up to a 10 speed, D.J. and Robbie slipped by through the railing, and Hash was on its way to victory.

Between exams and photo dead- lines, we regretfully had to cancel our annual Deg. II Christmas party. We ' ll definitely make up for it next year. It took us a long time to choose a class name, but alas a decision has been made- Deg. II Timber Barons. Degree II wants to welcome all the tech. transfers and wishes to send a special congrats to John E. and his wife, who had their first seedling this year. I ' m not going to the Waverly with them.

This year the Bushbusters have shown a great class spirit and united in many activities. Our broomball team made a valiant attempt at standing on their feet and our hockey team skated circles around their opposition. With regards to the academic side of things, well, let ' s forget that!

TECH II FORMAL Everyone, students and profs alike, had a fantastic time at the Tech II formal this year. The meal provided by the staff of the Italian Centennial Hall was enjoyed by all and the speeches made by Dr. Kayll and Prof. Richardson were mercifully short. Patrick Aulenback was presented with the ' stupid question of the year award ' and Deb Desrosiers received the C.I.F. Leadership Award. Special thanks are sent out to Rick LeBlanc and Gord Bowser for organizing this gala event. The evening was a great success with plenty of dancing and drinking. DD DD DD DD DD 33 REGENERATES - DEG.

The series was sponsored by the Lakehead University Forestry Association and the School of Forestry. The speakers included: Dr. Rick Rollins, Professor of Outdoor Recreation at Lakehead University, Dr. Erik Jorgensen, Professor of Environmental Biology at the University of Guelph, Mr. Ed Olsen, Assistant Arborist for the city of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Mr. Ian Angus, MP for the Thunder Bay-Atikokan riding. Dr. Jorgensen, Canada ' s ' Father of Urban Forestry ' , stated during the lecture series how he first defined urban forestry in 1965: ' Urban forestry does not deal entirely with city trees or with single tree management, but rather with the management of the entire area influenced by and utilized by the urban populations. ' The graduating foresters at Lakehead should remember the im- portance of trees in the city, and encourage the development of sound urban forestry programs in their own communities. We would like to thank all of the committee members for their great help in putting on a fine presentation. Special thanks go to Dave for making the coffee.

GRADUATES OF 1985 This was the final year of school for the majority of the class and they diligently set about the task of having a good time. Most of field school was spent in the Wagon Wheel drinking, or at least wishing we were in the Wagon Wheel drinking (especially when Prof. Day was driving). The rest of the semester was spent doing silviculture assignments and finding excuses for a good party. After Christmas, management plans kept most of the class busy right up until January 21. Fortunately, the Spoons came to town that night to help many of us to celebrate. After that, theses became the well-worn topic of many conversations. Time was still taken out for the more important things in life such as tobogganing (right Jacquie?), the Sym- posium dance and of course the unforgettable (?) ring ceremony (right Darlene?)! Thanks go to Ray (Daddy) Wagner for taking the mug shots for the class. Congratulations are in order for the entire class on their graduation.

EF The Series Schedule EF FORESTRY FOLK NIGHT Organized on the basis of past folk nights, the third annual Forestry Folk Night came to full fruition on March 2 this year. Eleven musical acts of wide-ranging appeal covered music from across Canada and around the world. Master of ceremonies, J.D. Steele, commandeered the show, bringing the audience three hours of spirited and talent-filled entertainment. Performers hailed from nearly the entire school of forestry: both tech classes, three degree classes, graduates and faculty. In spite of some lighting problems, all performers shone in the presence of about 150 audience members. Although licenced for the first time, all earnings came from the door and the sale of food and drinks prepared by a host of much-appreciated volunteers. In all $180 was raised and sent to the local Cystic Fibrosis Research Foundation. THE MASTER FORESTRY STUDENTS The forestry graduate studies program at Lakehead University is a relatively new and developing program that offers graduate students an opportunity to study methods of renewing and improving forest resources. Students usually spend 2 years in the program before obtaining a Master of Science Degree in Forestry. Academically, these 2 years are spent taking a minimum of 3 graduate-level courses and completing a thesis based on original research. In 1984, 24 graduate students were registered in the program. The group of students is an interesting mix of Canadian students and those from other countries including Argentina, Tanzania, Poland and China. The students meet and work in their study rooms, attend classes together and take part in such activities as hockey, roller skating and socializing.

WOODSMEN TRIP Again this fall, the University of New Brunswick was overrun by 13 energetic Woodsmen from Lakehead; gaining International recognition for enduring the 36 hour drive to compete in the Annual International Woodsmen Competition. These axe wielding, saw toting Foresters of the North proved to be an equal match for their Canadian and American rivals. The men ' s team placed 6th out of 28 teams; and their two man chopping duo took first place honours and collected a trophy for their efforts.

The lectures were very well attended and drew much interest from those present. Although the issue of Matacil versus BT was far from resolved in some people ' s minds, the lectures covered a very broad scope of the budworm issue. During the panel discussion the audience was exposed to high doses of passionate disposition as the questioners and panel of speakers jockeyed to support their statements. The dinner and dance on Saturday was also a great success. The Polish Hall saw a clan of forestry folk, dressed to kill, enjoying a delicious meal of roast beef, meatballs, chicken, turkey and all the fixins. Following this feast, Professor Day (and yes Dave he is a full professor not an associate professor) announced the formation of his new corporation - BOB ' S BUDWORM BUSTERS. With his elegant poetry and his style and grace, Prof. Day demonstrated his views and solutions of the infamous Budworm. He also illustrated his engineering talents with his prototype budworm busting ar- mament. Throughout the remainder of the evening Freeport provided the entertainment (except for a short interlude by Dave Ip) and the dance floor was seldom vacant. 17™ IIiiil AFirai m mi TH Jiri Vosyka, Miles Johnson, Dave Neufeld, Mike Martel, Heather TH Foster, Paul Tufford, Don Thibodeau, Sue Collins, Andrea Mc- Donald, Colette Tessier, Andree Fournier 52 53 Co-ed Champs Deg I at the log twitch WOODSMEN ' S On Saturday January 26, 17 teams of various configuration battled to the end in the annual intramural woodsmen ' s competition. The day was cold but spirits of more than one kind kept everyone happy. The six-member teams challenged their limi ts of speed, strength and accuracy as they sawed, tossed, pulled, and split wood. At the end of the day and when the results were tabulated the County Park Cutters were victorious as the overall champions. Members of the winning team were Dan Demers, Dave Legg, Andy Pulo, Kerry Deschamps, Ian Cowan and Martin Eschlboeck. They accepted the coveted trophy with style and grace but shortly after we all watched as Kirk S. dropped it and it smashed on the floor. Wine on the wind Women ' s Div. Champs- and adoring fans.

Foresters are rightful stewards Of this wondrous forest land, They hold knowledge of these matters And the future ' s in their hand! A.G. Racey -Forestry Chronicle FORESTRY DAY Forestry Day, March 9, 1985 saw six teams from three schools compete in Lakeheads 5th Annual Woodsmen Competition. Sir Sanford Fleming College and Sault College entered a men ' s and women ' s team to compete against our own ' A ' and ' C teams. Our ladies emerged victorious with the men placing second behind S.S.F.C. Weeks of hard work by the L.U. woodsmen culminated in a Brawl in the Study on the Saturday evening. Hundreds of drinkin and dancin foresters crowded into the University pub to participate in the Bushman ' s Brawl. The entire day was a huge success and plans are underway for the 6th Annual Forestry Day! All photos by D.

At Great Lakes Forest Products we have a team of 5200 persons. They are engaged in timber harvesting, reforestation and the production of newsprint, bleached kraft pulp, fine paper, stud lumber and waferply. The careers involved range from engineering, operations and mechanical trades, to accounting and employee relations. 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 guest speaker was George Brown. James Mitchell highlighted some of the more memorable moments of the past four years. The program also included a very interesting look at the future. The voting for the C.I.F. Leadership Award almost resulted in a tie. Congratulations are extended to Darlene O ' Brien (the winner) and Ray Wagner. Their efforts over the past four years deserve to be recognized. Thanks to all who helped organize the evening and to Dave Schafer for providing the after-dinner comic relief on the fire escape.

Special thanks to Susan and Herr. Gerritson. P.S. The girls on the beaches in Scandinavia are not bash- ful. FINLAND EXCHANGE The mind is far removed from a cold, snowy Thunder Bay and the drudgery of an 8:30 class, allured with the visions of a steamy sauna, semi-clad blondes, the bite of a refreshing glass of Koskenkorva, and countless other Scandinavian delights. Finland and its people were fantastic hosts for my summer exchange. Working in a nursery provided an excellent opportunity to witness the initial stages of the successful Finnish forest system.

Undoubtedly all will remember 1984-85 as an active and dynamic year for the forestry community. Lakehead ' s Forestry Association was no exception. A determined executive was at work throughout the academic year at- tempting to keep the student populus informed, entertained and spirited. All three were evidenced in our successful bid to save the office. The toils of this year ' s executive were matched by the efforts of an equally diligent and ambitious group who were responsible for such successes as a lecture series, symposium, this fine publication and countless other endeavours. It is this group, en masse, that is wholly responsible and deserving of credit for providing all LUFA members with a distinctive and pleasurable year. Please note that much of what is chronicled in this review has already been brilliantly displayed in this year ' s edition of Harvest. LUFA functions can be divided into three categories: social, sports and academics. Socially, LUFA experienced a frenetic beginning. Initiation rites were retained and all first years were escorted through the ritualistic and infamous pits. Orientation continued with a successful night at the Crest (drowning field school thirst) and a wild hayride with the nurses at Murillo. Even the Corn Roast was a success - complete with corn this year! As in past years the foresters combined with LUNA to host a LUAU in the main cafeteria. Another well-attended event was the Third Annual Forestry Folk Night where students and faculty combined forces to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. LUFA ' s generosity was also extended to two unfortunate classmates who both lost their homes and belongings to fire. On the sports scene, the Woodsmen teams were active this year placing well at the University of New Brunswick ' s competition and hosting their own Forestry Day Meet here in March. Associated with this was the Annual Bush- man ' s Brawl held this year in the study - undoubtedly the finest event of the year! Poor weather hindered a LUFA- organized ball tournament in the fall. As for the KAM-AM canoe race, to steal a phrase from the Woodchips and Sawdust, the race was cancelled due to lack of enthusiasm and entries . Attracted, no doubt, by Kakabeka Cream and Ruby Rouge, an overwhelming number of teams participated in the Intramural Woodsmen Competition. Apart from these numerous events, many forestry teams competed in various LUSU-organized intramural sport leagues. It was a busy year for academic endeavours within the school of forestry. Numerous guest speakers visited the university, a weekly lecture series was initiated and a trip to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association field demonstration were a few of the highlights. LUFA had a hand in this busy year by presenting a lecture series on urban forestry entitled Trees in the City and a symposium on Spruce Budworm and our Future Forests . A forestry student gained a seat on the LUSU Board of Directors and degree II student is on his way to the Netherlands on a summer work exchange. The year drew to a close academically as the degree IV students received their rings (and then began writing their theses) and the diploma graduated made plans for their graduation celebration. All of LUFA extends its congratulations and sincere best wishes to all graduating students. Already a new executive is in place and ready to meet the challenge of 1985-86. To all, from participant to organizer, to anyone who contributed to LUFA in any way, thank you and let ' s get behind next year ' s council to make ' 85- ' 86 even better. 72 Kevin Lindquist DO Class representatives.

At the Ministry of Natural Resources, we help forests grow from the ground up. Through forest management, research and fire control, we ' re dedicated to ensuring a healthy and fruitful harvest. Forests are more than the trees you can see. They are the responsibility of thousands of people behind the scenes. People who work in and with these resources. Growing forests every day.

But, mostly, they talked about trees. You remember, they talked about: ... shoes and ships and sealing wax. . . — and that all boils down to forest products. You probably never really thought about it, but trees provide hundreds of things you use daily: shoe leather, bottle caps, buttons, lampshades, even phonograph records. The list gets longer every day as the forest industry finds new ways to improve your life through trees. Think about it the next time you ' re speaking to a friend: you may just find yourself talking — about trees. Procter Gamble Cellulose Ltd. P.O.

I am happy to say that this year we benefited from the inputs of forestry students from all year levels: technology, degree and master ' s. This book really is a team effort, since so many have contributed to its success. Working on a project of this magnitude requires dedication and patience from all concerned. What it finally boils down to, is that we should all be concerned. Financial backing and technical equipment are important parts of such projects, but mean nothing if the people component is lacking. HARVEST ' 84 was a victim of such a situation. The forestry tradition of annually producing yearbooks was broken last year, due to student apathy. A whole year of memories is gone forever; the people, the places and the activities. We foresters are the only faculty to produce yearbooks at Lakehead. It is something to be proud of. In this edition of Harvest, we have tried to emphasize the theme of moving into the future , stepping from today into tomorrow. For those of us graduating this year, tomorrow has finally arrived. It is now time to put to the test the knowledge we have gained during our past years at Lakehead. In recent months, the need for in- tensifying our forestry practices has been repeatedly voiced nationally. The public is perhaps slowly realizing just what forestry means to them. The skeptics will say: Humbug, it ' s no use, you are fighting a losing battle . The final outcome rests on our shoulders, to meet the challenge of the future. In closing, I would like to thank all those who have contributed to HARVEST ' 85, your efforts have made the book better. Special thanks to Raymond Wagner and Teresa Holla for always being there when I needed them. Thanks are also extended to all our advertisers and patrons. Your support is greatly appreciated. Finally, a note on enthusiasm written by the famous poet and auto maker, Henry Ford: You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. It is the sparkle in your eyes, the swing in your gait, the grip of your hand, the irresistible surge of will and energy to execute your ideas. Enthusiasts are fighters. They have fortitude. They have staying qualities. Enthusiasm is at the bottom of all progress. With it, there is accomplishment. Without it, there are only alibis.
