Researchers within the Vir-ginia State University’s Agri-cultural Research Station (VSU-ARS) have received two U.S. Department of Agriculture National Insti-tute of Food and Agricul-ture (USDA-NIFA) capacity building grants (CBG) worth more than $800,000.

One three-year grant, valued at $416,248.00, was awarded to Dr. Guo-Liang Jiang and his colleagues Dr. Shuxin Ren, Dr. Yixiang Xu, Dr. Vitalis Temu and Dr. Maru Kering, for their research in trait characteriza-tion and germplasm devel-opment of edamame and dual-purpose specialty soy-bean. The project aims to sig-nificantly strengthen VSU’s research capacity in plant sci-ences, particularly in breed-ing, genetics, genomics and agronomical management of soybean and specialty crops.

Edamame and specialty soybeans are a high-value crop and an excellent option for small farmers in southern Virginia who traditionally grew commercial tobacco. As more people in the U.S. have become aware of eda-mame’s nutritional benefits, market demand for edamame and specialty soybeans has grown. Very few U.S. breed-ing programs focus on eda-mame and/or specialty soy-beans, so the U.S. market relies on imports from China and other Asian countries.

“This award will greatly help us to strengthen our capability and competence in related research; fur-ther develop and expand the scope as well as the content of research; and increase collaboration with other fac-ulty at VSU and cooperation with USDA-ARS units and land-grant universities,” said Dr. Jiang. “In particular, our research will be expanded from edamame focus to other food-grade specialty soy-beans.”

The second three-year

grant, valued at $295,274, will explore the use of high-pressure processing (HPP), a non-thermal technology, to reduce salt in processed meat products. Excessive consumption of dietary salt is a pressing health concern. The American Medical Asso-ciation, the American Heart Association, the American Public Health Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have called for urgent action to reduce the level of salt, spe-cifically sodium, in the Amer-ican diet. Processed foods contribute 75% of salt to the American diet and processed meats are the second highest source of salt.

“I am very happy and excited to receive this grant,” Dr. Xu said. “Our project addresses the national need to identify solutions for improv-ing human health, nutrition and food safety. Salt reduc-tion in processed foods is a high priority for consumers, health professionals and the food industry.”

Dr. Xu and Dr. Chyer Kim were awarded the grant for their proposal to investigate the efficacy of HPP in combi-nation with grape pomace, a source of natural compounds with antioxidant and antimi-crobial activities, as a means to reduce salt in processed meats to address human nutri-tion and food safety issues.

HPP—which retains most of the nutritional and sen-sory qualities of food—is predicted to become the most commercially important food processing technology world-wide in the next 10 years, especially for the meat and poultry industry. Research institutions within the U.S. and globally have studied HPP. Currently though, no research and training capac-ity in HPP technology is available at any 1890 land-grant institution. 1890s land-grant institutions like VSU are historically black colleges

While AAA does expect gas prices to decline between now and the end of the year, Vir-ginia motorists will not find significant holiday savings at the gas pump. Drivers will still pay the highest December gas prices since 2014.

In 2017, gas prices strayed from typical trends, reported Georjeane Blumling, vice president of public affairs for AAA Tidewater Virginia. His-torically, year-end gas prices tend to be relatively cheap due to a drop-off in gasoline demand around Labor Day and the move to cheaper to pro-duce winter-blend gasoline in mid-September. This year, the typical factors that drive gas prices down in winter were

outweighed by the impact of two major hurricanes, steady consumer demand and contin-ued growth in gasoline exports.

As of November 28, the average price per gallon of gas in Virginia totaled $2.29, com-pared to $2.30 a week earlier, $2.26 a month ago and $1.99 last year. The national average was $2.50, $2.53, $2.47 and $2.13 respectively.

Motorists can expect gas prices to continue to trend cheaper the first few months of 2018, with potential to see the national gas price average in the $2.25 to $2.35 range by February. OPEC’s November 30, 2017, meeting and any decisions to further cut or keep production rates stable will

influence longer-term forecasts for 2018.

Trip planning toolsJust in time for year-end

road trip planning, AAA has added new tools to GasPrices.AAA.com to provide more comprehensive gas price data and insight to motorists and journalists.

In addition to the daily national gas price average for regular, mid-grade, premium and diesel gas, AAA now pro-vides the daily E-85 national average.

Enhanced features to the Top Trends page on the site allows visitors to sort data in various ways (high to low pric-ing, by date) and easily iden-tify changes by directional

Year-end gas prices look tobe most expensive since 2014

colored arrows: increases (red); decreases (green); or no change (grey). Lastly, the top trends page now offers the ability to query gas prices at the state metro level.

With the addition of 175 new metropolitan areas and corre-sponding gas prices, state cov-erage is more comprehensive. In addition, each state now touts county gas price averages via a state heat map.

A new ‘State Gas Price Aver-ages’ page provides an over-view of each state’s daily gas price for regular, mid-grade, premium and diesel fuel. From this page, a visitor can also click on a state name and be taken directly to that state’s landing page. Users can sort data on this page alphabetically by state name or highest/lowest price by fuel grade.

Since its founding AAA Tidewater Virginia has been a leader and advocate for the safety and security of all trav-elers. Visit AAA.com.

VSU awarded $800,000 for two capacitybuilding grants in agricultural research

and universities dedicated to providing educational oppor-tunity for all through innova-tive scientific research and community-minded exten-sion programs.

“Research capacity in non-thermal technologies devel-oped through this project will be integrated with other research and extension areas at VSU like food safety, meat science, human nutrition and specialty crops and will sub-stantially enhance the over-all research capability at the VSU-ARS,” Dr. Xu said.

Collaboration among the project’s principal research-ers at VSU with external part-ners from USDA-ARS will promote an interdisciplinary approach to strengthen VSU research capacity on meat safety and quality. In addition, the involvement of students in this proposed research pro-vides a platform for exposing minority students to state-of-the-art research and technolo-gies, and thereby strengthens their academic experience and job-market competitiveness.

LOTTSBURG—Tuesday, November 14, marked a very special milestone for the Woman’s Club of Northumberland County. Over 80 members and guests gathered at the Indian Creek Yacht and Country Club near Kilmarnock to cel-ebrate 82 years of service and to recognize the Woman of the Year.

This year’s recipient is occupational thera-pist Carolyn Costello, who never seems to run out of energy or commitment to the community, demonstrated by countless hours and personal dedication to local and

international efforts, reported Claire Given.She is a volunteer leader with Joni and

Friends, Wheels for the World, an inter-national disability ministry that provides wheelchairs for handicapped individu-als. Costello searches for new and used chairs which can be repaired and put back into use. A highlight of this work was the opportunity to serve on wheelchair distri-bution teams in Peru and the Ukraine.

Costello strongly believes in supporting the quality of life for all, especially those experiencing terminal illness, said Givens.

She is a volunteer facilitator of the Care-giver’s Support Group, which reaches out to caregivers of Alzheimer’s and dementia patients, and shares more hours and per-sonal energy with Hospice Partners, sup-porting families across the Northern Neck.

Members and guests also were treated to an inspiring and timely address, deliv-ered by Gayle Jessup White, community engagement officer at Monticello in Char-lottesville. White, a direct descendent of Thomas Jefferson, shared her history and the years of research devoted to the task.

While I subscribe to the general rule that there cannot be too many thank you notes, how far down the chain does this go?

Should one be sent to a dinner or cocktails guest who brings wine or flowers? A guest at an open house who brings wine? A house guest who brings a token gift, such as exotic soaps, potpourri or gourmet food items? A hostess after cock-tails or dinner?

Can such acknowledge-ments be sent by e-mail?

Because You Are Polite. . . Let’s Talk Manners

by Ginger Philbrick

When it’s time to think about holiday decorations, many Vir-ginians turn to fresh greenery.

Some choose and cut their own Christmas trees and many purchase fresh wreaths and gar-lands as well. Tree farms often sell wreaths and garlands made from fresh greenery.

Richard Nuckols, owner of Nuckols Christmas Tree Plan-tation in Cumberland County, makes wreaths and garlands from the trees he grows on 22

acres. This is the 52nd year his family has operated the choose-and-cut tree farm.

“People like the scent of fresh greenery adorning their homes and a lot of people want to sup-port Virginia-grown products,” said Nuckols. “Lots of people like to cut their own tree and buy a fresh wreath as well.”

He makes several different types of wreaths. The white pine mixed with blue spruce is a popular one, as well as Fraser fir

wreaths. Nuckols doesn’t grow Fraser firs but he buys them from a farmer in Grayson County and re-sells them at his farm. He also makes a wreath using boxwoods early in the season and all the wreaths come in three sizes.

Fresh wreaths can last for months, depending on where they are located, Nuckols said. Wreaths hung in a shady area will last longer than those in full sunlight. He said his family gen-erally hangs a fresh wreath for

the entire month of December.He recommended extending

the life of wreaths or garlands by spritzing them with water. Or, before hanging them, Nuck-ols said to dip greenery in soapy water. The soap coats the needles and prevents them from drying out.

The Virginia Christmas Tree Growers Association offers a fresh tree locator at virginia-christmastrees.org/experience-a-real-tree/.

Fresh greenery will add a festive scent to holiday decor

When the weather turns cold, some farmers and homeowners spend time in unheated barns or workshops and some rely on wood-burning stoves or space heaters to heat the buildings.

“Heating in a workshop, garage or barn is no different than using supplemental heating in your home, but you need to do it safely,” said Kevin Bartal, Vir-ginia Farm Bureau safety coor-dinator.

Using a wood-burning stove or a propane or electric space

heater in those spaces still requires safety precautions like following the manufacturer’s instructions that came with the appliance.

“Heaters should not be used in buildings where hay, straw or other flammable materials or liq-uids are stored,” Bartal noted. “A heater should be nowhere near a stack of hay.”

The area to be heated should be well-ventilated to avoid the danger of carbon monoxide poi-soning.

“Carbon monoxide is a col-orless, odorless and poisonous gas,” Bartal explained. “You cannot smell it, so installing a carbon monoxide detector is the easiest and only way to detect carbon monoxide. If you expe-rience a headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain or confusion, which are signs of significant carbon monoxide exposure, leave the area and call for help immedi-ately.”

The heating area should

always be kept clean to avoid fire hazards. Make sure the wood stove or space heater is listed by a recognized testing laboratory and is kept away from sawdust, chemicals and paint.

Heaters should be kept at least 3 feet away from all combus-tibles; never put anything on top of a space heater.

When using a fuel-burning space heater, use the proper fuel as specified by the manufacturer. Refuel heaters outside or in a well-ventilated area; allow the

appliance to cool before refuel-ing.

“It’s important to clean the heating appliance occasionally following the manufacturer’s rec-ommendations,” Bartal added.

When using a wood stove, it is important to have the chim-ney cleaned by a certified pro-fessional prior to each heating season. It also is important to use only seasoned and dry wood. Do not use gasoline or other liquid fuels to start a fire and never leave a fire unattended.

Residents urged to use caution with heating appliances this winter

thing good is inside. Often it is a handwritten thank you note. There is little that comes through our mail that is more valuable than that; it shows someone has taken time to give back a material expression of gratitude for some-thing we did. And it is always more beautiful than a black and white e-mail or a non-tangible phone call.

As the recipient of gifts brought to you by cocktail, dinner or overnight guests in your home, spoken thank yous as you receive them are appropriate. If for some reason you are too busy to open the gift as it is given to you, a phone call the next day is nice.

As to your last question, only a formal dinner party or a dinner that was given in your honor require a thank you note. Although a handwritten thank you is never incorrect, a call or e-mail the next day is sufficient response to a more casual dinner or cocktail party.

Although I am readily confess-ing that there have been times when I have sent a thank you note in return for a particularly moving thank you from another, that behavior is not actually in the manners books. I do wonder if Mrs. Emily Post ever did that.

Thank you for your question, P.W.!

IRVINGTON—Sam McK-elvey presented a discussion on “Menokin: The Resto-ration,” when the Richard Henry Lee Chapter of the Sons of the American Revo-lution met November 18 at Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury.

Menokin, the home of Fran-cis Lightfoot Lee, a signer of the Declaration of Inde-pendence, is near Warsaw in Richmond County, reported Spike Nunn. Menokin was also the home from 1809 to 1819 of John Tayloe Lomax, the first law professor at the University of Virginia, so it is indeed a home steeped in his-tory.

The Lees moved there in 1771 when the manor house was completed and lived there off and on until they passed in 1797. Other notables who have resided in the manse include Benjamin Broughton, Arthur H. Belfield, Richard Harwood, John Ingrins and E. Stuart Omohundro. After 220 years, the mansion has fallen

During the November meeting of the Richard Henry Lee Chapter of the Sons of American Revolution, Pamela

Walker, a charter and founding member of the Upper Lancaster Volunteer Rescue Squad, was presented the Emergency Medi-cal Services Commendation Medal for her years of continuing service.

The medal is presented to an individual for accomplishments and/or outstanding contribution in an area of emergency medi-cal services. Walker has been a dedicated volunteer since 1985 and is the longest running member of the squad.

The SAR wished to honor Walker for her service and to thank her for years of dedication, said Spike Nunn.

into disrepair and its latest owner, T. Edgar Omohundro, transferred title to the prop-erty in 1995 to the Menokin Foundation.

The restoration is a 10-year plan and is one of the most engaging preservation proj-ects in America today. Lead-ing the Menokin Project team

is the architectural firm of Machado Silvetti who has been noted by architecture critic Paul Goldberger as a “modernist who has a love of classicism and believes that an architect best respects his-tory not by imitating it, but by teasing its spirit into new forms.”

The most recent step of the restoration involved the Glass House project which included the stabilization and recon-struction of the southeast corner of the house. It began in 2016 and was completed this summer. The work con-sisted of the re-installment of the quoins and the water-table stones to their original positions in the wall. Oyster shells were sorted and pulver-ized to use in the lime mortar pointing between the stones.

Fortunately, Menokin is one of the most well docu-mented 18th century homes in Virginia, from the origi-nal pen and ink presentation drawings to photographs of the house throughout its his-tory. The Menokin Founda-tion feels quite lucky to have these resources available to aid in its restoration.

McKelvey has over five years’ experience with the Henrico County Historic and Preservation section and should prove invaluable to the Foundation in Menokin’s res-toration, said Nunn.

The Sons of the American Revolution is open to those who have an ancestor who either fought in the Revolu-tion or aided the Patriots. If interested, call Don Smith at 435-0693. The chapter meets at 11:30 a.m. on third Mon-days for socializing, luncheon and a stimulating program.

RICHMOND—With overall traffic fatalities already on the increase, the 2017 Thanksgiving holiday weekend proved to be a deadly one for 10 individuals traveling on Virginia’s highways.

During the holiday statistical counting period, which began at 12:01 a.m. November 22 and continued through midnight November 26, traffic crashes claimed the lives of eight driv-ers, one passenger and a pedes-trian. As of November 27, there have been 737 reported traffic deaths in Virginia, compared to 664 this date last year.

“The increase in fatal crashes throughout this year is troubling and should be of serious concern to all Virginians,” said Virginia State Police (VSP) Superinten-dent Col. W. Steven Flaherty. “Tragically, there will be at least 700 families heading into the holiday season mourning the loss of a loved one because of a traffic crash on a Virginia high-way. Let’s make these remaining weeks of 2017 safer for every-one by buckling up and driving smart, safe, sober and distrac-tion-free.”

The Thanksgiving fatal crashes occurred in the City of Richmond and the counties of Appomattox, Augusta, Bedford, Caroline, Fairfax and Spotsylva-nia. Two of the crashes, including the pedestrian crash, occurred in

10 die in trafficcrashes on Virginia’shighways over Thanksgiving weekend

the City of Richmond, and two other fatal crashes occurred in Fairfax County. Two drivers lost their lives in a two-vehicle, head-on crash in Augusta County.

In an effort to prevent traf-fic deaths and injuries during the Thanksgiving holiday, the VSP participated in Operation C.A.R.E., an acronym for the Crash Awareness and Reduc-tion Effort. Operation C.A.R.E. is a state-sponsored, national program designed to reduce crashes, fatalities and injuries caused by speeding, impaired driving and failure to use occu-pant restraints.
