EmploJ" in the SPOtlilht "But I'm jUBt a little person." ThIs was

Peggy Davis' reactlm when asked to come in for an interview for this ride.

A "liWe persm," neitber a manager nor a "wheel." Peggy bolds ber own as an at­mospberic pbyslcl8t - a woman in what Is traditlonany a man's field - in NWC's Environmental Studies Group .

Wbe'! asked what she does in ber job. Peggy refers to a nickname given the group by NAF pilots - Project Smog Snlff. The group does ambient air monitoring; Peggy does "a liWe r1 everytbing." from office work (data analysis and report writing) to Dying to the "grubby field work" which sbe prefers.

"Everybody in the group does every­!bing." said Peggy.

Then sbe remembered a time when "I sat m my femininity." She balked at towing the group's 18 It. trailer full r1 expensive equipment across the desert. (She bad never towed a trailer before.)

Peggy is turned m by the out4-doors. Sbe particularly likes *1Ing. backpacldng. seeing new places and new people. and grubby field work.

Started Out as School Te.cher After growing up in Duluth. M1m .• Peggy

went to the University r1 MiIIntIMta where she was graduated with a major In p1J)'lIics and a tea~ credential.

Since several d. ber coDege friends were fnm Califonta, peggy came bere aJao to teacb math in an innel'dty school in Pacoima, Calif. By October she knew that teacbing wasn't ber hag. but she IInlshed the school year (many beglmlng teachers quit at the end d. first se!Dl!lter) before clOIIing the door on that career.

"ActuaJly. I bave no complaints. I learned so much. I became mere tolerant; IlWe !bings dm't bug me as much as they tiled to .... QlJlege doesn't prepare you for the real world - kids don't follow the psycbology books."

The following September. Peggy started graduate studies in astrogeopbysics attbe University of Colorado. In June sbe got a summer job at NWC. werking fer Dr. Larry Matthews. who was studying droplet coalescence - fog formation. Sbe never left the Center.

After working with Dr. Mattbews. Peggy joined Paul Owens and Raymmd KeJao on a new project for the State of California - an extensive atmospheric study ranging from San Francisco through the San Joaquin

Peggy o.vls

Vaney and the Loa Angeles basin. The three of them bave been together ever Soce. The Environmental Studies Group. as they named themselves, became part of the Technology utilization OfIIce when it was formed. "probably because we were working for the State and IIIing Navy equipment and Navy penomeJ." '!bey IiIIe ~ connected with the TUO .

"Entbuslastlc!" Supervisor and co­worters alike use tlU word to d.mbe Peggy. She approaches ber wort willi eo­thIBiasm and carries tbrougb on a job she beg!1II. "Sbe Is willing to tMe on jult about snytblng." reports George II.....,... bead of the Tecbnciogy utilization 0fIIce, who adds •• 'sbe bas been very IIICCeIBful in ber wort."

Peggy bas been Itudying the atmoapbere since ber underlVadate days. At the University of M1meeota she worted part. time on a project studying falr-weatber effects. particularly the aurora. At the University of Colorado she became involved with people wbo were worldng on at­mospberic stIIf - the National Oceanic and

- Atmospheric Mnini ..... Uon was doiDg thundersUrm research. Snce comiq! to NWC sbe has continued studying the air.

"Eacb time I get bored something new comes along." she says. so she keeps at it The group Is now starting to get irto energy utllizatlm studies: solar energy reeearch prop!l!aIs. geothermal potential studies. Since they monitor wipds. the group will probably be a part d. any wind power studies at NWC. An exdting variety.

eLee board commended for effo-rts in 1975 • • • (Continued from Page 1)

mander added that be felt tbe blgh point In service rendered by tbe 1975 Community Oluncil was tbe "uncommm s~ given tbe Navy's 200tb blrtbday celebration."

To tbe Incoming comcil, RAdm. Freeman stated tbat be was looking forward to another year of worltlng togetber closely 00

matters whlcb affect tile CbIna Lake community. There will be lasues and problems during tbe coming year, just as was so this past yesr, tbe speaker noted.

''Tbe disposal of Wberry ho~ will be carried OIt this year and, at this m<ment, rm not at aU certain that tbe General Service Administration will be able to comply wltb my request tbat occupants r:J. tbat housing be given tile first opportmity to buy," tbe NWC C<mmander said

"Smnetime this year," he added, "I anticipate that we will r&-align tbe soutllern perimeter fence, and I am certain tbere will. be those residents who will Interpret tbat cbange as anotber 'pressure' by tbe Olmmand to 'force tIlem to move off tbe Certer.' "

Not in Housing Business

The Navy isn't In tbe bouslng business, and none of tile facillties 00 Center should compete wltb those In Ridgecrest, tbe Skipper said The community ottside tbe gate Is tbeone that supports tbe Center wltb tbe c<mmercial activities tbat are needed, be emphasized.

RAdIn. Freeman pointed out tbat Wyman and tile members r:J. his board will have tbe advantage of tbe experience of tbls past year, tbe momentum and direction of a very good year of service, and tbat it will be up to tbe new president to sustain It "For my part," tbe speaker stated, "I can mly reiterate what rve said many Umes before: The Clina Late Community Council will be tbe principal instrumentality for dialogue between tile Command and tbe residents of (hIna Lake."

"Wy-mon:outlines views on role of civic group

(Editor's note: The following statement was issued by Wilt Wyman, newly-elected president of the China Lake Community Council's board of directors, briefly outlining his views on the role and responslbilitle. of the local civic group, .. 'Nell as 1he PII rt its constituents can play in dadslon. whlcll .ffecl the re.ldents of China Lake).

For tile ChIna Late Community CoWICil, 1976 will be a year of cbaRerige, change, and education.

The challenge will be to represent aU of tbe residents of ChIna Lake as tbelr elected officials, to serve the residents by passing on their tboughts and ideas to tile proper autbority, and to assist tbose In authority In tbe performance of their duties when called upm to do so.

And 1!116 wiil be a year of change for tbe Naval Weapons Center. The council can help by disseminating Information to residents tbrougb personal contact, month­ly and special meetings, and tile news m&­dla. Hopefully, in this way, tbe necessary changes will be better understood and accepted by tile residents of tbe community.

In order for challenges and cbanges to be more effective, education will play an Important role for !be Clina Lake C0m­munity Oluncil In 1976. To help tbIs education process, residents are en­couraged to become Involved In tile areas of tbeIr Interest, attend regular meetings, and consult tbelr council members.

rm not sure tile council has ever had a tbeme, but I would like to propose we adopt one for 1976: "Consult Your Council."

Consu1t your councfi to re1ay tboughts and ideas.

Consult your councfi to stay abreast of cbanges and potentlsl cbanges.

H tile cbaRenges and cbanges are freely discussed then tile educatim process will be effective.

NEW OFFICERS INSTALLED - New officers and directors of IIIe OIlna L.ke Community Council were joined by Rear Admiral R. G. Freeman III, Commander, for this photo that was taken during the local civic group's instal&ation dinner last Friday.

As tbe elected representatives of tbe residents of ChIna Lake, members of tile Olmmunity Oluncfi's board were told tbat in this role tbey can be major contributors to the accomplisbments of tile Center's mission, and In sustaining tbe morale and general welfare of tbe people who make NWC an asset to the Navy.

Representatives from Ridgecrest who atlended tbe Community Council In­stallatim dinner and spoke briefly were Mayor Rex Shacklett and Dave Henderson, president of tbe Chamber of Olmmerce.

c ~ayor . ShacIgett also commen~ tile Olmmunity Oluncil for tile fine year just completed and stated that city officials are pleased witb tile excellent rapport tbat exists between tbe city and tbe civic group at ChIna Lake.

The title of "bonorary mayor" was CClII­

Broad Spectrum Covered

Representing a broad spectrum of 0c­cupations and ethnic bad<grounds, these EEO Counae\ors are selected for personal qualities thatJnc\ude empathy, objectivity, perceptiveness, resourcefulness, Oezibillty, stabWty, maturity, bonesty, and a personal commitment to promote equal job op­portlDlity for all persons.

Although a single Incident alten motivates an employee to seek coWlle!log, EEO problems frequently are the l"I!8IIit of many occurrences culminating In this "last straw." Typical problems confronted by ' EEO Counse\ors are fallure to be prcmoted or considered for -promotion, failure to be selected for training, dIsclp\inary action, or barrasllment by supervisors.

Dr. Carl Heller, a chemist at NWC, and Dr. lee Lucas, a numerical analyst at NWC, are tbe instructors of this COtrse, which deals primarily with the search aspect of a rescue operation and will con­sider air searcb operations from the viewpoint of the ground search base camp leader.

Both Instructors have been Involved In mountaineering and mountain rescue work for a number of years. Dr. Heller was one of the foumers of the ChIna Lake Mountain Rescue Group which was formed In 1957. Dr. Luca9 has been a member of the group since 1967.

Jackrabbits cause damage at gol' course Damage to fairways of the ChIna ate

golf course from jac\a'abblts exceeds any prevlOU8ly seen, according to long-time local golfers. With the turf dry and wlJter­donnant, jackrabbits are digging down to the more succulent roots and wrealdng havoc particularly on the front nine holes.

Patcbes as large as 20 to 25 square ft. are dug ~ In a sqle night by the foraglrw rabbits.

The jackrabbit of the Mojave Desert Is more properly called a b1actta\led bare. Obeervers of wildlife consider populaUo .. of rabbits cyclic, reacbing peat mllllbers for a year to two and then leveling off as dry cycles and disease affect their survival. Commencing In late 1974 and continuing through 1975, rabbit populations have been on a noticeable upswing. Thougb populations may have reached their peak regionally, damage to tbe golf course Is increasing because the rabbits' preferred food plants are dead or dormant for the winter.

Favorite Foraging Area

The golf course, always a favorite forag­Ing area for jackrabbits, Is sspedally at­tractive this time of year because the roots of the turf are easy to get at and more succulent than otber available foods.

The NWC Natural Resources Man· agement Office consulted federal, stste and county agencies to develop a workable and hwnane solution for the problem. These agendes included the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior, CalIfornia Department of FI!!b am Game, California Department of Food and AgrIculture, and the Kern County Depart­ment of Agriculture.

Use of poLsons of any kind to control jackrabbits on the ChIna Lake golf course is out of the question because of other wildlife In the area, as well as the hazard to domestic dogs or cats. Populations In the vI_ 1!tnlJ~'_O;S:ol ~;:tbe ~ Mojave ground squlJTel, rule out the use 01 poisions or anti-eoagulant agents.

other Methods Ineffective Teats made of the use of live traps have

proved this control method ineffective. A non-poLsonous cbemlcal repelleat tried earlier In the seaaon to halt rabbit damage to the greens was effective for only a !!bort time and Is not cbecldng tbe nightly damage caused by large numbers of jackrabbits _log up the turf of the fairways.

To save the golf course from futber destruction, consent bas been given by CalIfornia Department of FIsh and Game for designated members of the ChIna ate Police Division to sboot jackrabbits.

HARE TROUBLE - An unusu.11y large population of I.ckrabblts has been wrHking h.voc this winter on the fairw.ys of the front nine .t the OIina lake golf course. The clar1<en .... reas in the top photo give an indication of the si •• and frequency of this problem In cert.in spots where j.ckr.bblts have been digging up the dry turf to got at the edible roots .
