INVESTIGATION PROGRESS QUARTERLY REPORT Insect QUARTERLY REPORT Insect & Disease Branch January - March 1979 INVESTIGATION PROGRESS 1. Continued loblolly pine seedling outplanting and evaluation of growth response in earlier outplantings to determine if seedlings with roots infected with mycorrhizal fungi grew better than uninfected seedlings on severe sites (Coal Spoils) and normal Piedmont sites (50% completed, begun in 1976). 2. Gontinued aerial surveys to locate dying pines infested with the southern pine bark beetle to test a simplified bark-sampling method to predict trends in the beetle population. Ground sampled infested trees, one location in District 9 (a continuous project, 70% completed). 3. Continued extractiop, of seed and evaluation of effectiveness of various rates of systemic insedf~fo protect that seed from damage from damaging insects at the two seed orchards maintained by the Virginia Division of Forestry (project begun 1975, 50% completed). 4. Began collaboration with the utilization section on an expanded wood waste study in Virginia to determine losses due to decay in standing trees (0% completed) . 5. Prepared a proposal (for Federal funding) for a demonstration area on the Appomattox-Buckingham State Forest to test the effectiveness of silvicultural manipulations to reduce future beetle damage (80% completed). 6. Continued cooperative egg parasite study in fall cankerworm area at Bull Run with U.S.F.S. representative (Arnold Drooz). 7. Continued to explore possible cooperative project with VARIS and NASA on remote sensing for forest inventory purposes on the Pocahontas State Forest (10% completed). 8. Establish long term "seed loss study" for Virginia Division of Forestry seed orchards. NEW FOREST PESTS 1. Attended several planning meetings with USDA, VDACS and other state representatives on the gypsy moth suppression eradication and survey program for 1979. This forest and shade tree defoliator will continue to be increasingly emphasized in Insect and Disease Branch activities in the coming 10 years with main emphasis on biological control efforts on commercial forest land. 2. Consulted with U.S.F.S., North Carolina and other state forest pest managers on a potentially damaging pine sawfly recently found in the North Carolina mountains. The introduced pine sawfly will probably prove to be a damaging white pine Christmas tree pest in Virginia. Ground surveys have been completed in southwest Virginia (no finds) and additional cooperative surveys are planned in the summer of 1979. - 2 - FOREST PEST SURVEYS ( 1. Completed annual roadside egg surveys to predict populations and damage from three native pine sawflies in the Piedmont and northern Coastal Plain, and for three hardwood defoliators (fall cankerworm, forest tent caterpillar and oak leaf tier) in the western one-third of Virginia (100% completed). 2. Examined 700 acres of proposed planting sites for white pine for potential infection from the white pine blister rust fungus in southwestern Virginia (80% completed). 3. Reexamined five semi-permanent blister rust spread plots in southwestern Virginia to assess variation in infection rates (100% completed). TRAINING 1. Conducted on-day Insect and Disease training session for District 9~~0ne staff member served as instructor for Virginia Division of Forestry training course in "Instructor Training. 11 ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION 1. Arranged schedule for and participated in first environmental education meeting (conference) in Virginia. Laid plans for formalizing the group and for an annual conference. 2. Arranged and conducted a tour for members of Virginia's "Council on the Environment" of Virginia Division of Forestry activities and facilities in the Richmond area. 3. Gave one talk to elementary school class on the environment. OTHER 1. One staff member completed District contacts to locate and define areas of state-owned woodland which will receive management recommendations by Virginia Division of Forestry District personnel. FOREST P E S T SURVEY R E P O R T VIRGVHA DIVISIO:i OF FO~ESTRY Charlottesville, Virginia 22903 MARCH 1979 GE!TERAL The winter in central Virginia was a wonderfully mild one until February when conditions changes abruptly. An early and widespread ice storm decimated stands of pine and hardwood over extensive areas in District 5 (Salem). Most severely hit were Roanoke, Franklin an,·] Montgomery Counties, primarily on the east-facing slopes at elevations to 2,000 feet. Damage was most severe in recently thinned pine stands in the Piedmont Counties and in Virginia pine stands and in pole to small sawtimber-sized yellow poplar and black locust in the mountains, Other hardwoods, expecially along drainages, suffered morlerate to severe damage in many areas. Damage estimates in the 13-county District totaled 100,000 cords of pine and 50,000 corc!s of hardwood. Salvage is underway in the Piedmont areas, but little salvage is expected in the mountainous counties. Ornamental trees in the Roanoke area also suffered moderate to severe damage, In District 7 (Staunton), an estimated 2, 00() acres affected,with 500,000 board feet ''loss,'' mostly in '.1.ockbrid13e, also in Augusta, Bath and Highland ·counties; in the southwest in western Lee County, some damage to native Virginia pine stands occurred. The ice storm also caused damage to pine stands in the central Piedmont to the western edge of the Coastal Plain. In Appomattox-:luckingham area, pine stands suffered extensive damage. On the Appomattox-Buckinsham State Forest, Stan Harner reports young, recently thinned loblolly plantations suffered the most, primarily stem breakace. Fred Trew, i-!ESTVACO, reported the loss of a large series of fertilizer experiments in Apporiattoi< County (fertilizer increases both length and diameter of needles, permitting increased ice build-up). Fred also pointed out the extensive damage suffered in many of his experimental thinning plots, from ice over the past two winters, to the point where his thinning recommendations to the Company may be in jeopardy. Although it is commonly recommeded that pine replace hardwood on most central Virsinia-Piedmont sites, the combined periodic losses from ice, storms and pine bark beetles may well offset the added growth and volume advantages claimed for substitute pine! Deep snow also slowed activities everywhere· as the state was blanketed in mid­ February with up to 16 inches in northern Virginia (following an earlier 8-inch fall), the remnants of which were still lingering by March l1th. And during the last week in February, Scottsville was in trouble again with the rising flood waters of the mighty James. GYPSY HOT'l: Ad'.'litional funds available in late December 1978 to the tune of $1. 2 million to APHIS, USDA and $1.0 million to the USFS to "address the leading edge of the infestation" has led to a challenging effort to solicit cooperation from the ''leading edge" states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia to put together a program of definition (Where exactly is the leading edge?) to be based primarily on extensive male moth pheromone trapping, coupled with a combination suppression effort (keep gypsy moth populations from building up to high populations from which they spread most readily) and pilot testing (try lower rates of Dimilin, virus, parasites and combinations thereof). Overall objective will be to halve normal spread (to 5 miles/year) by various treatments in selected areas, mainly in Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, authorities in Pennsylvania have turned thumbs down on extensive spraying, except perhaps in the state forest areas - 2 - in southern Pennsylvania, modifying to 50,000 acres (with biologicals only) from the inital hopes to treat 200,000 acres in 1979. The leading edge project hopefully will be funded for a 5-year period. In Maryland, action proposed to support the leading edge concept will include 1,000 ( acres of Disparlure (pheromone) by air in each of two blocks in Catoctin Mt. National Park; 1,000 acres with Dimilin at 0.01 pounds active material per acre, single application to woodlots in central Maryland; test value of using Dimilin and pheromone in combination for eradication effort (1,000 acres in Cecil County); Dimilin at very low rates (0.001 pounds per acre) in combination with the NPV (virus), hopefully on 1,000 acres . .In Virginia/Hest Virginia, Dimilin is to be applied in three blocks along the Blue Ridge in the Loudoun County infestation in an eradication attempt (a split application, 0.03 pounds per acre, each) over 5,600 acres. A recent ruling by EPA, however, has limited the use of Dimilin to essentially pris.tine forested areas, even though Dimilin has been cleared of any carcinogenic effects. Sevin will probably become the substitute pesticide for use in populated areas., Isolated gypsy moth infestations have been found in Appleton, Wisconsin and Washington (nea~ Seattle) and suspected in Avery County, North Carolina and in Montgomery County, Ohio, The Michigan infestation involves 18 counties, with eradication still the objective there. EJ':forts to establish the "Comprehensive Gypsy Moth Pest Management System'' as a viable semi-independent planning and coordinating agency, with financial and moral support from the USDA, met with limited success in December 1978, The ''system·• received the moral backing, but failed to gain financial support for a "coordinator" to oversee the day-to-day operations. Dr. Robert Altman, Maryland Department of Agriculture, has taken the reins of the "management system'' in an effort to lift it off the ground as a totally independent·effort in 1979, Final note on the 1978 gypsy moth trapping (11,794 traps in Virginia): Catches in Fairfax County increased to 43 moths in 29 traps; Prince William to 15 moths in 15 traps and Virginia Beach, 6 moths in 6 traps for a total of 324 moths in 272 traps. WELCOHE! to "Rob" Dekker, new Forest Pest Manager for the Maryland Department of Agriculture. An interesting study on the use of clear and black plastic wrap to promote wound closing on red maple was reported in the November 1978 Plant Disease Reporter by Shortle and Shigo.

Forbes.com rates states in six categories to establish the overall ranking: business costs, labor supply, regulatory environment, economic climate, growth prospects, and quality of life. Virginia scored particularly well in the labor supply, regulatory environment, and quality of life categories, ranking third, second, and eighth, respectively. Forbes calculates labor supply rankings based on high school and college attainment, net migration, population growth, union representation, and the proportion of 25 to 34-year-olds within the state’s population. States’ regulatory environments are scored based on rankings from several sources, including Moody’s bond ratings; analyses by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University of labor regulations, insurance coverage requirements, tort liability, and the state’s debt obligations; and an index by Pollina Corporate Real Estate measuring tax incentives and economic development efforts. Quality of life is determined based on cost of living, crime rates, commute times, and health measures such as air pollution, among other factors. Virginia’s scores were lower in the business costs and economic climate categories (29th and 33rd, respectively).

  • ABSTRACT JEWETT, AMANDA AVERELL. Aristocratic
    ABSTRACT JEWETT, AMANDA AVERELL. Aristocratic Gentlemanliness and Revolutionary Masculinities among Virginia’s Delegation to the Continental Congress, 1774-1776. (Under the direction of Dr. Craig Thompson Friend). There was never one type of manhood practiced in Virginia during from 1774 to 1776. Instead, different masculinities blended and overlapped to reflect changes in culture and society. While elements such as public validation and an honorable reputation persevered across gender constructions, they meant different things to different men in the early years of revolution. The American Revolution unleashed democratic, military, regional, and intellectual impulses that gave impetus to forms of manhood that helped to erode aristocratic gentlemanliness. Militant, intellectual, and southern men absorbed some ideals of aristocratic gentlemanliness like honor and public virtue, while abandoning others including submission and restraint. The Revolution and meetings with other men in the Continental Congress contributed to the dismissal of these principles as Virginians responded to changes in their political and social roles on a larger stage. Ultimately, the need for public approval ties all of these Virginians together. Validation of one’s gender and class from outside observers, be it fellow Virginian planters or delegates from other colonies, is the most permanent aspect of masculinity during these years. While other types of manhood—military, Enlightenment, and southern—broke from or changed several traits of aristocratic gentlemanliness,

  • Virginia to Harper's Ferry
    Virginia June 11, 1983 Saturday(1692.4 mtg) The room we had chosen was on the second floor of "the Place" and came complete with one old mat- tress and a couple of three-inch thick foam pads. I don't remember exactly what we paid to stay there, but I am sure it was somewhere around five to seven dollars at most. It also had a kitchen and refrigerator that could be used by all, so if you kept anything in the refrigerator, you had better mark it with your name. I had turned off the alarm and slept in this morning. I awoke naturally at six-thirty, got up and ate the second half of a box of Life cereal that I had started last night before going to bed. I love cold cereal and milk when I get into town! Wrote a letter to a friend, and around ten o'clock I placed a call to my Uncle Delray. Told him to tell my sister in law to send a package to Afton, Virginia and to fill up the fluids in my MGB which had a slow leak. After that I went to the pharmacy and bought a sympathy card to send to the Grotefendt's, and a sample of a muscle relaxant named Percagesic that someone had told me about along the trail during the last few days. Bopped over to the post office and sent all the post cards and letters, and on the way back to "The Place" I stopped to see if my boots were ready.

Mind, Body, and the Moral Imagination in the Eighteenth-Century British Atlantic World Abstract This dissertation deals with ideas and assumptions about human nature in the cultural life of the eighteenth-century British Atlantic world. Most scholars see in this period a decline of the traditional Western dualism in the understanding of human nature. Empiricist philosophy, we are told, increasingly denied the possibility of distinguishing between the body and reason, much less between the body and "soul." Moralists now tended to locate social and moral reactions in sensation and sensibility rather than in reason. The cultural status of physical pleasure was greatly enhanced. I challenge this wide consensus. I find in eighteenth-century British and colonial culture an alternative story of marginalizing the body and downplaying its role in moral and social life. I see persistent efforts to assert the soul as an independent source of feeling and action, with the activity of spirit defining specifically humanelations r at all levels from intimate to economic.

  • Virginia Beach, Virginia a Community for a Lifetime
    Virginia Beach, Virginia A Community for a Lifetime A Strategic Plan to Achieve City Council’s Vision for the Future 2010 - 2012 December 2009 A Message from the City Manager City Council has outlined its vision for the City of Virginia Beach. Our job is to make Virginia Beach that place. This document is an updated guide that will help us do that. It is based on strategic planning work that many members of the organization have been involved in for over a decade. Virginia Beach is a vibrant community with a successful government. I believe that by committing to use the ideas in this document, we will continue to improve, meet the challenges of the future, and increase our capacity to achieve City Council’s vision for our community. Our Strategy has been a part of our organization since 1998. We designed it purposely to be a guide. It is a guide that can help us now as we review everything we do and in the future, as we decide what new things to do and not to do and what current practices to validate. In combining the Strategy with our 3-Year Plan, we are able to make consistent decisions that are aligned and purposeful. Consistency and alignment help us deliver our best to our citizens as we strive to achieve City Council’s vision. This Strategic Plan challenges us to: • Enhance the overall capacity of the community. • Focus on achieving outcomes, rather than simply performing functions. • Take a systems view of everything we do. This view requires more analysis and consultation and requires that we attempt to achieve more with each action.
