  • PERFORMANCE REPORT State: Louisiana Project Number: W-55-25 Project Title: Upland Survey Period Covered: July 1, 2010
    PERFORMANCE REPORT State: Louisiana Project Number: W-55-25 Project Title: Upland Survey Period Covered: July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011 Study Number and Title: V-4, Bobwhite Fall Whistling Surveys Study Objective: To determine relative size and distribution of bobwhite populations in Louisiana. Study Abstract Bobwhite fall whistling counts were conducted statewide along 32 routes (7 additional routes were assumed zeros and 4 others were unable to be run). Fall whistling counts did not differ (P = 0.3482) among the 5 habitat types for 2010. They did, however, differ between 2009 and 2010, with more whistling counts detected in 2009 than in 2010 for both the Northwest mixed shortleaf and loblolly pine-hardwood and Florida Parishes loblolly pine habitats. No coveys were recorded on the Northwest mixed shortleaf and loblolly pine- hardwood or Mississippi/Atchafalaya agricultural belt (0.00 whistles/stop) in 2010 (Tables 1 and 2). Jackson- Bienville WMA, Camp Beauregard, and Vernon District No. 1 routes yielded 0.25, 0.00, and 0.10 whistles/stop, respectively (Table 3). Five (5) summer bobwhite counts were conducted on the Sandy Hollow Wildlife Management Area. Counts ranged from 12-45 (Figure 1). The 2011 mean count was 27.6, which is the same as in 2010. The peak count (45) was lower than the long-term (1986-2010) average peak count of 89.3, but was higher than 8 of the past 10 years (Figure 2). A. Activity: Fall whistling counts were conducted along 37 pre-selected routes to determine relative size and distribution of fall bobwhite populations. The 5 habitat types surveyed were historic longleaf pine, mixed shortleaf and loblolly pine-hardwood, loblolly pine (Florida Parishes), the rice belt and the Mississippi/Atchafalaya agricultural belt.

On November 9, 2000, the President signed the Grain Standards and Warehouse Improvement Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-472) which amended the USWA in its entirety and modernized the regulation of Federal warehouses to better reflect current trade and operational practices. The 2000 Act authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to license and examine public warehouse operators that store agricultural products. It also gives the Secretary broad authority to improve the administration of various aspects involving the trade of agricultural products under the purview of the USWA, including the use, establishment and maintenance of electronic warehouse receipts and other electronic documents for all agricultural products. The USWA is considered a “permissive regulatory act.” It is permissive because it only applies to warehouse operators who voluntarily apply for licensing and regulatory because each licensee must operate under its provisions and be subject to the regulations and licensing agreements administered by the USWA.

  • A History of Beaver County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    A HISTORY OF 'Beaver County Martha Sonntag Bradley UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF 'Beaver County Martha Sonntag Bradley The settlement of Beaver County began in February 1856 when fifteen families from Parowan moved by wagon thirty miles north to Beaver Valley. The county was created by the Utah legislature on 31 January 1856, a week before the Parowan group set out to make their new home. However, centuries before, prehistoric peoples lived in the area, obtaining obsidian for arrow and spear points from the Mineral Mountains. Later, the area became home to Paiute Indians. Franciscan Friars Dominguez and Escalante passed through the area in October 1776. The Mormon settlement of Beaver devel­ oped at the foot of the Tushar Mountains. In 1859 the community of Minersville was es­ tablished, and residents farmed, raised live­ stock, and mined the lead deposits there. In the last quarter of the nineteenth century the Mineral Mountains and other locations in the county saw extensive mining develop­ ment, particularly in the towns of Frisco and Newhouse. Mining activities were given a boost with the completion of the Utah South­ ern Railroad to Milford in 1880. The birth­ place of both famous western outlaw Butch Cassidy and inventor of television Philo T. Farnsworth, Beaver County is rich in history, historic buildings, and mineral treasures.

  • Good Friday on College Street: Urban Space and Changing Italian Identity
    GOOD FRIDAY ON COLLEGE STREET: URBAN SPACE AND CHANGING ITALIAN IDENTITY M. VIENNA PAOLANTONIO A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO September 2020 © M. Vienna Paolantonio, 2020 Abstract This dissertation examines the relationship between urban space and minority ethnic identity. It makes extensive use of oral testimony and a variety of archival documents including personal correspondence and photographs, parish records, and newspaper records to reveal the way postwar Italian immigrants utilized traditional religious practices to nurture and express a feeling of belonging in the Toronto neighbourhood known as Little Italy. The Processione di Cristo Morto (The Procession of the Dead Christ or PCM) on Good Friday was part of a larger approach to religious devotion which included public processions for patron saints embedded in the premigration lives of southern Italian immigrants who settled in the College Street neighbourhood. Immigrants brought with them the assumption that public space was an appropriate location for nurturing and expanding dense networks of information and support connected to leisure activity and devotional practices. Although use of neighbourhood space for leisure appears to be a gendered practice among Italian immigrants, during the PCM women occupied and directed the use of public space on a scale equal to men. I argue the PCM was unique in terms of its appeal to Italian immigrants from all regions of Italy and became an important symbolic vehicle for publicly expressing the evolution of personal and communal Italian identity from Italian “immigrant” to Italian-Canadian “ethnic” over two generations.
