From the Editor William E. Riddle, Journal Editor (+1 505.988.1092, Riddle at WmERiddle dot com) The Tenth Gathering of Clan Ewing in America was held in Winchester, Virginia, September 18-21, 2008. The theme for the gathering — Echoes of the Shenandoah — reflected what the 2008 Gathering Committee hoped Clan Ewing members would experience and learn during their stay in the Winchester and Stephens City areas of Virginia. First of all they wanted each attendee's visit to Virginia to be a fun-filled, exciting time featuring the intriguing history of the settlement along the scenic Shenandoah River in the Shenandoah Valley. They wanted attendees to focus on and learn from the echoes from those early Ewings — one of the few original families known to be remaining in the Winchester-Stephens City area — who were among the first settlers as well as their descendants who made their homes in the Shenandoah Valley over a 270-year period. In advance of the gathering, Mary (Ewing) Gosline — current Chair of Clan Ewing's Board of Directors and coordinator for the 2008 Gathering — arranged for a series of articles providing Ewing-genealogy background information and local area information. These were published in successive issues of the Journal starting with Vol. 13, No. 2 (May 2007) and running through Vol. 14, No. 3 (August 2008); they were also posted on the Clan Ewing web site (www.ClanEwing.org). Historical and genealogical articles provided background for the gathering. Other articles showcased places of interest which members could include in their visit to Virginia and the Frederick County area. Mary (Ewing) Gosline also tracked down a variety of information 'tidbits' falling into these topics. This special issue of the Journal collects together these articles and tidbits in printed form. It also includes schedule and presentation information in order to provide a relatively complete record of the gathering. Wm E.

Soon William Ewing, John’s son, joined other families moving south into the Indian country west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. William’s father John Ewing, his sister, Jean Ewing Vance, and her husband Andrew Vance, may have accompanied William or followed later as brother Samuel Ewing did. William cut and cleared land as did the other pioneers who had been welcomed into the valley by the Colonial Government. During the years 1730-1734, the Virginia Council of the government ordered that parcels of land be opened up to those willing to clear and work the land. The new pioneers would provide some protection from the Indians and the French for the settlers who were gradually moving west. The first grant in

This Executive Summary lists the key findings of the 2018 Virginia State Parks economic impact analyses: ➢ In 2018, visitors to Virginia’s State Parks spent an estimated $249.1M in the Commonwealth. Approximately 46% [$113.7M] of this spending was by out-of-state visitors. ➢ The total economic activity stimulated by Virginia State Parks during 2018 was approximately $338.7M. ➢ The total economic impact of Virginia State Parks during 2018 was approximately $267.1M. Economic impact is a measure of “fresh money” infused into the state’s economy that likely would have not been generated in the absence of the park system. ➢ At the individual park level, economic impacts range from $961K to $31.3M (not including parks under development). ➢ In 2018, for every $1 of general tax revenue provided to state parks, $14.06, on average, was generated in fresh money that would not be there if not for the operation of Virginia State Parks.

  • Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay
    Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report November 2018 Targeted Living Shoreline Management Planning for Virginia State Parks in Chesapeake Bay Summary Report Donna A. Milligan C. Scott Hardaway, Jr. Christine A. Wilcox Shoreline Studies Program Virginia Institute of Marine Science William & Mary This project was funded by the Virginia Coastal Zone Management Program at the Department of Environmental Quality through Grant # NA17NOS4190152 Task 92.02 of the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended. The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, or any of its subagencies. November 2018 Page | 1 1 Introduction The Commonwealth of Virginia owns numerous tidal, waterfront properties along Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries including state parks, natural area preserves, and wildlife management areas. Many of these parks have eroding shorelines and are at risk from coastal hazards such as tidal flooding, waves, and sea level rise. These environmental threats impact the safety of park visitors and the mission of the parks. In an effort to address these issues for the parks as well as provide education to the public on living shoreline management strategies, eleven state parks with tidal shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries were selected because of their suitablility for living shoreline demonstration projects (Figure 1). These parks: Belle Isle, Caledon, Chippokes, First Landing, Kiptopeke, Leesylvania, Mason Neck, Middle Peninsula, Westmoreland, Widewater, and York River, are spread throughout the Chesapeake Bay and have a variety of coastal conditions due to their locations and underlying geology.

  • Chapter 3 Management Prescriptions
    JEFFERSON NATIONAL FOREST CHAPTER 3 MANAGEMENT PRESCRIPTIONS INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The 1985 Land and Resource Management Plan for the Jefferson National Forest included specific direction on how to manage different land areas. These land areas were called management areas. This revised plan also contains management areas, but they are now related to ecological regions, watershed boundaries, and other biological, and social divisions of land found across the Jefferson National Forest. These new management areas are described in Chapter 4. Each management area has different attributes that require a slightly different management emphasis. These differences are reflected in the management prescriptions applied to each area. Management prescriptions related to one another are grouped in “categories,” numbered 0 through 12. The numbering system and emphasis of each management prescription is consistent across the national forests of the southern Appalachians. This Chapter only includes management prescriptions used in the Revised Forest Plan; therefore, there are gaps in the numbering sequence. A complete list of management prescriptions used throughout the southern Appalachians, along with their related emphasis, is available in Process Paper: Management Prescriptions of the Southern Appalachians. All management prescriptions provide multiple uses, even though their titles may imply a single use. Each management prescription includes: Title – tells the primary focus of management. Emphasis – briefly describes this primary focus of management for the prescription area in a little more detail. Desired Condition – shows opportunities and/or conditions available in the future for all the multiple uses and resources found throughout the prescription area. Standards – provides managers specific management direction as they work toward achieving the desired condition for each particular area.
