Description:
Resource managers in northern Ontario need guidelines for establishing productive species mixtures and maintaining a viable conifer component through natural regeneration on upland boreal mixedwood (BMW) sites. The hypothesis that partial cutting favours conifers by inhibiting development of hardwood reproduction and associated competitors was tested. Harvesting to nominal basal area (BA) reductions of 0, 36, 68, and 100% was conducted in a northeastern Ontario mixedwood stand dominated by trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) in the overstory and balsam fir (Abies balsamea [L.] Mill.) and shrubs in the understory. A positive linear relationship existed between photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) transmittance and initial BA reduction at 1, 3, and 5 years after harvesting. However, the relationship weakened over the 4-year period. Although BA reduction level did not account for significant variation in height growth of conifer advance regeneration, it explained 31% of the variation in conifer sapling diameter growth, 61% of the variation in hardwood regeneration height growth, and 21% of the variation in shrub height growth. Based on post-harvest height comparisons among conifers, hardwoods, and shrubs, partial cutting to promote conifer advance regeneration on BMW sites cannot be recommended. Maintaining a viable understory of shade-tolerant conifers for the next rotation may be more feasible than promoting conifer-hardwood overstories in the current rotation. The increase in sapling growth with BA reduction level implies that the entire overstory should be removed if the site is adequately stocked with conifer saplings. Similarly, harvesting should remove the entire overstory if the objective is to maximize growth of hardwood regeneration. Clearcutting promoted growth of both hardwood crop trees and shrubs, but hardwoods remained dominant after 5 years. Height development patterns indicate that regeneration and competitors should be monitored long enough following harvesting to determine whether additional interventions may be necessary to achieve stand structure objectives. Further studies are required to investigate the effects of other factors on advance regeneration, such as pattern and season of harvest and degree of soil disturbance.

Description:
The Ontario Government has recently released its latest Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), which includes a policy concerning wetland protection. This paper uses interviews with key respondents and the results of three separate case studies that examined the former PPS in order to assess the ability of the new policy to improve wetland conservation efforts in Ontario. The case studies include wetland conservation and urban stormwater management in the City of London for the periods 1978-1999 and 1978-2000, respectively. As well, agricultural drainage that occurred in the Township of Zorra for the period 1978-1997 is used to address this management dimension. While progress is evident, the current policy will be difficult to implement effectively because it inadequately deals with the fundamental aspects of management: fragmented jurisdiction, interagency communication, financial arrangements, enforcement, and promoting informed decision making.

Book Description

It is May 15,1776. Today, the colony of Virginia will cast their votes for independence from Britain. Mary Geddy anxiously awaits the results, because freedom will mean her best friend will move back to England, and her father will go to war.

How would you choose?.......2007-10-08

Mary Geddy's Day easily explains the complexity of political decisions and the impact those decisions had on the lives of everyone -- even those too young or simply not allowed to choose.

The vote for independence in Williamsburg, Virginia on May 15, 1776 and the exciting story behind it is lavishly illustrated with colorful photographs of costumed historical interpreters. The sights and sounds of Mary Geddy's world are fascinatingly brought to life, making the story of that day's decision accessable to children on a personal level.

Opportunities for further enrichment include directions to make "sweet bags for linen" and the same apple pie that Mary made for her family.

Additional historical information about slavery, Native Americans, 18th century girlhood, and the prelude to independence bring this volume to life.

Most highly recommended!

Another Waters/Kendall success!.......1999-09-05

With this book, the team of Kate Waters and Russ Kendall bring the reader into the living history of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, much as they did with their fascinating and delightful quartet of books set in Plimoth Plantation, Massachusetts. "Mary Geddy's Day" serves up the history of July 4, 1776 through the eyes of a child who actually lived it. With the formal yet engaging language of the past, and the vibrant photographs (costumed interpreters in Williamsburg) young readers are drawn into the history of Colonial America.

This is a great book to introduce the subject matter. I have already used this book extensively with third graders at the elementary school where I teach, and the students are delighted and full of questions when we are done. Bravo!

Book Description

Fran ois Bauchet's furniture objects stand in a frontier between functionality and the work of art, and raise questions about the importance of the presence and material reality of things in a world dedicated to the image. Bauchet has been working in this mode since as early as 1979, and in the eighties he created a great number of pieces for art institutionsUfor example, he designed furniture for the Jeu de Paume museum in FranceUas well as numerous furniture models. He has progressed from using lacquered wood, to working with resin, and now uses raw fabrics and ceramics to create furniture that challenges our preconceptionsUbut always with elegance and subtlety. In addition to beautiful reproductions of his works, this volume contains an interview with Bauchet conducted by Claire Foyalle, a design historian, and an essay by Jacques Bonnaval, Director of the Ocole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and editor of Azimuts magazine.

I wouldn't recommend this book as it was highly disappointing. I've owned other books by this author and was very satisfied, however, this book covers almost nothing that the others haven't
already covered. It was a complete waste of money....
If looking for a good reference book to have at your fingertips -
this isn't it!!!
