JAR I JOURNAL OF APPLIED RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
The Journal of Applied Research and Innovati on (JARI) is a new, peer-reviewed, online journal that presents fresh approaches and innovati ve soluti ons to real-world challenges. Launched as part of NAIT’s 50th anniversary, JARI’s vision is to become internati onal in scope and content providing a forum for researchers, administrators and industry partners from diverse sectors to highlight their applied research experiences.
Arti cles, papers and case studies are welcome for peer review. Topics may include technological innovati ons, prototype and product development, proof of concept, testi ng and other data-driven soluti ons, or insight into the direct value of applied research.
Are you or your team addressing the practi cal problems of industry, government or the community in a unique or innovati ve way?Let JARI showcase your process and fi ndings!

captains of industry, and government and community
leaders. they’re winning olympic medals and setting
sporting records, and making breakthroughs in science
and medicine. they’re leading-edge designers at
work in your neighbourhood – if, in fact, they didn’t
actually build your neighbourhood. and, overall, their
contributions are too numerous to mention. here,
we celebrate 50, chosen for the difference they
make in our communities, and for inspiring
future generations of alumni to do
the same.

We received 162 nominations. a committee representing alumni, retired staff, instructors, students and nait’s departments of advancement and marketing and communications then had the tough job of whittling the list down to 50.

“– felix appelt, hired 1962 – retired 1986 as head of engineering design and drafting technology
I joined NAIT in July 1962 as head of Drafting
Technology (later Engineering Design and
Drafting Technology) and remained in that
position for almost my entire career, which ended
in June 1986. My son Greg attended Architectural
Technology (class of ’78). He joined NAIT in
December of the same year and left NAIT in 2011.
Between Greg and me, we covered 49 of NAIT’s
50 years. Too bad he retired last year!
Greg’s son Kyle has spent a couple of summers
on grounds maintenance. My second son, Doug,
enrolled in Chemical Technology (class of ’80) and
finally there was Bruce, who was employed at NAIT
for a number of months before enrolling in Computer
Systems Technology (class of ’88). When you
consider that Doug’s wife, Janette, also spent four
years at NAIT, first in med lab technology and later
in computer systems, I think that the Appelts have
had a considerable connection with NAIT.
We wanted your help remembering NAIT
over the past five decades. We share your
stories throughout this feature.

They had a ceremony when they opened the
institute. Premier Manning came down. It
was conducted in the heavy duty shop. They
set a platform right in the middle of A101.
In the heavy duty shop, there’s a great big
transverse crane. It’ll pick up diesel engines.
So to be rather dramatic, they brought this
crane over to the centre of the stage and they
had a big velvet curtain or a canopy rigged up
over this thing. I can remember the premier
pushed the button and it lifted the curtain
and all the dignitaries were there.

“– henry vanderpyl, civil technology ’72
During my first year of Civil Tech, I helped set
up the display for Open House and thought that
our display was very mundane and ordinary.
Our ‘rivals’ were Architectural Technology and,
of course, they had some very artistic and nice
looking models, so they won the Open House
trophy for best display for the third year in a row.
In my second year, I decided that I would
organize the Open House display and compete
for that trophy. We made a plywood model that
showed how a curved roadway was built. We even
added a landscape ‘architect’ component by using
green floor sweeping compound granules for the
landscaping of the finished roadway. I used my
calligraphy skills to produce a scroll titled The Role
of a Civil Technologist. Needless to say, we won
and the Architectural Technology students were
disappointed.

shirley long“Bread, amongst other goodies, was sold to
customers in the bakery sales area to recover
part of the cost of instruction. It so happened
that flour prices took a hike in the mid-’70s. The
bakery program head went to the front office
to ask to increase the price of a loaf of bread.
Bread at NAIT was 10 cents. We needed to
increase the cost to 12 or 13 cents to bring us
near the break-even point. The answer came
back from the vice president: there would be no
increase because students and staff needed a
break wherever they could find one.

My tuition in 1976 was about $180. Beyond the
cost of books, there was the recommendation
to own a good scientific calculator. I bought
a Texas Instrument one from the NAIT
bookstore for around $265, more than the
rest of the supplies needed for the entire year.
It was one serious purchase at the time for a
poor student. Fast forward to today. My wife
and I were on the road to buy some building
supplies the other day when we realized we
forgot to bring along a calculator. I pulled into
the nearest dollar store and I selected one for
$2. In the queue to pay, it occurred to me that
the $2 calculator in my hand was every bit as
good as the one I bought at the NAIT store 36
years earlier for, hmm, let’s see: 265/2 = about
132.5 times more, not including inflation!
When an april 1977 snowstorm cancelled field classes at Kidney
lake camp, forest technology students built a 3.6-metre timber
cruiser snowman (but only after a snowball fight).

things was to have a Valentine’s card on fire drop
to the floor. It caught the bed on fire on the set
and everybody started flipping out. There was a
fire extinguisher right at the door. I grabbed it and
put the fire out. And then everybody was thinking,
‘You’re going to be in a pile of trouble when they
find out you discharged the fire extinguisher.’ And
I thought, ‘Yeah, but I’m going to be in a lot less

“I loved being the Ook. It was an outlet for me to
have a lot of fun…. One time I was dancing in the
bleachers and I jumped down and cracked my
heel. I’d do a figure skating show after the game.
I’d spin around and fall on my face. I was still
determined to put on my show. I laced up and
went out there. It took me about an hour to get
my skate off after.
I would play for the NAIT staff hockey team
because we had such a rivalry with SAIT and there
was a lot of pressure for me to play. One time
we went down … and about the second period or
halfway through the third, I got a puck in the ear.
And they took me to the hospital and they said,
‘Boy, are you lucky. We happen to have a plastic
surgeon here.’ Thirty-four stitches later … I even
bled for NAIT.
