The Painted Apple Moth Eradication Programme (B)
CASE PROGRAM 2006-10.2 The Painted Apple Moth Eradication Programme (B) In late August 2002, Murray Sherwin, Director-General of the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) had to decide whether to reverse his department’s recommendation, made to Cabinet barely a month before, for the future management of the Painted Apple Moth (PAM) incursion. The fast-breeding moth, discovered three years earlier, threatened New Zealand’s plantation forests as well as its native bush, potentially robbing the economy of $356 million in exports. Despite eradication efforts, including the controversial use of aerial sprays, new areas of infestation were still being discovered. Murray Sherwin had become chief executive less than a year ago, arriving at MAF as controversy was building around his Forest Biosecurity Group’s management of PAM. MAF’s recommendation to Cabinet in July 2002, based on the weight of internal and external advice, and concern about the $90 million estimated cost of an all-out eradication attempt, was to continue with containment activities while further investigating other means of managing the pest. Government’s response was to allocate $11 million in immediate resources and call for more detailed information on the options of long-term management, or a renewed attempt at full eradication. Sherwin realised there was substantial political support, despite the odds, for eradication. He now needed to know whether his department, besieged by media and community criticism, could believe in and commit to the task. This case was developed by the Australia and New Zealand School of Government (ANZSOG) and funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF). -

Rapid Pest Risk Analysis (PRA) for Lambdina Fiscellaria

Kildare, W23 VW2C, Ireland [email protected] 2 PRA for Lambdina fiscellaria © M G Tuffen Executive Summary The hemlock looper, Lambdina fiscellaria, is a North American forest pest of coniferous and broadleaved trees. The pest has a complicated taxonomy. It is widely reported as having three subspecies on the basis of differences in feeding preferences of the larval stages, but there are no morphological differences and some authors argue the pest should be treated as a single species. All three subspecies are considered in this PRA, which examines the risk of this pest to the island of Ireland (the PRA area), consisting of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Lambdina fiscellaria fiscellaria, also known as the eastern hemlock looper, is distributed in eastern North America and larvae show a preference for Abies balsamea (balsam fir) but will also feed on Picea glauca (white spruce), Tsuga canadensis (eastern hemlock) and a number of broadleaved trees. -
Strategies for the Eradication Or Control of Gypsy Moth in New Zealand
Strategies for the eradication or control of gypsy moth in New Zealand Travis R. Glare1, Patrick J. Walsh2*, Malcolm Kay3 and Nigel D. Barlow1 1 AgResearch, PO Box 60, Lincoln, New Zealand 2 Forest Research Associates, Rotorua (*current address Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Dublin Road, Galway, Republic of Ireland) 3Forest Research, Private Bag 3020, Rotorua Efforts to remove gypsy moth from an elm, Malden, MA, circa 1891 May 2003 STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The aim of the report is to provide background information that can contribute to developing strategies for control of gypsy moth. This is not a contingency plan, but a document summarising the data collected over a two year FRST-funded programme on biological control options for gypsy moth relevant to New Zealand, completed in 1998 and subsequent research on palatability of New Zealand flora to gypsy moth. It is mainly aimed at discussing control options. It should assist with rapidly developing a contingency plan for gypsy moth in the case of pest incursion.

Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedules
UNIFORM BAIL AND PENALTY SCHEDULES California Rules of Court Rule 4.102 333333 January 2005 Edition _________________ TRAFFIC BOATING FORESTRY FISH and GAME PUBLIC UTILITIES PARKS and RECREATION BUSINESS LICENSING THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL OF CALIFORNIA Administrative Office of the Courts 455 Golden Gate Avenue San Francisco, California 94102-3688 Rule 4.102. UNIFORM BAIL and PENALTY SCHEDULES TRAFFIC, BOATING, FORESTRY, FISH and GAME, PUBLIC UTILITIES, PARKS and RECREATION, BUSINESS LICENSING The Judicial Council of California has established the policy of promulgating uniform bail and penalty schedules for certain offenses in order to achieve a standard of uniformity in the handling of these offenses. In general, bail is used to ensure the presence of the defendant before the court. Pursuant to Vehicle Code sections 40512 and 13103, bail may also be forfeited and such forfeiture may be had without the necessity of any further court proceedings and treated as a conviction for specified Vehicle Code offenses. A penalty in the form of a monetary sum is a fine imposed as all or a portion of a sentence imposed. To achieve substantial uniformity of bail and penalties throughout the state in traffic, boating, fish and game, forestry, public utilities, parks and recreation, and business licensing cases, trial court judges in each county, in performing their duty under section 1269b of the Penal Code to annually revise and adopt a uniform countywide schedule of bail and penalties for all misdemeanor and infraction offenses except Vehicle Code infractions, shall give consideration to the Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedules approved by the Judicial Council. The Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule for infraction violations of the Vehicle Code shall be established by the Judicial Council in accordance with section 40310 of the Vehicle Code. -

International Trails Symposium Program Details
International Trails Symposium Program Details Sunday, May 7 12:30 PM - 1:45 PM Concurrent Sessions Where Trails Really Take Room Fun fact: The airplane was born in a bicycle shop. Before they became the world’s first airplane pilots, the Wright brothers were avid Flight: Connecting People #302,303 bicyclists. They built and sold their own lines of bicycles, and the bicycle figured in their development of the world’s first successful and Heritage in the airplane. But it’s just one part of Dayton’s bicycle connection. Huffy Bicycles was a major bicycle brand built in the Dayton region and Birthplace of Aviation spurred the region’s interest in bicycling and recreation trails. Today, more than 330 miles of paved trails connect many of our aviation heritage sites, including the Wright brothers’ neighborhood and the flying field where they perfected the airplane. This panel will explain how the bicycle figured in the development of the airplane, how the nation’s largest paved trail network connects several of our aviation heritage sites, and how the Greater Dayton Region is working to connect bicycling with aviation heritage to increase our attractiveness as a tourism destination and make the Dayton region a better place to live. The panel will supplement a mobile workshop being prepared jointly by the National Aviation Heritage Alliance and the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park. Speaker(s): Timothy R. Gaffney, Director of Communications National Aviation Heritage Alliance. Tim Gaffney is a Dayton native and retired aviation writer for the Dayton Daily News. He is the author of 15 books for children and adults, mainly on aviation and space topics. -
