Alligator in Everglades NP, Fla.

Research center at Everglades NP, Fla. By M. Woodbridge Williams Photographer/Naturalist Harpers Ferry Center

A new game of jigsaw is playing in Everglades National Park, one that had been talked up on paper for the last decade. Now under the lead­ ership of Superintendent John Good and Re­ search Director Gary Hendrix, scientists are fi­ nally taking the unique ecosystems of the 'glades apart and assembling them again in an orderly fashion. Their tools are mathematics, physics, chemis­ try and biology. Their coaches: intuition, en­ thusiasm, and talent. At the new research "think tank" in the Hole-in-the-Doughnut area, they set out to model the Everglades systems, ones that can be applied through prediction to man­ agement and protection problems. Now aimed in this direction, they explore the unknown-a space odyssey inside a few inches of water spread around some 2,000 square miles at the tip of Florida. There is no other place like it on Earth, no basic research to describe how it works, or even detailed sur­ veys of its soils and plant communities. Under top priority, Pete Rosendahl, the hy- drographer, seeks fundamental equations for describing the sheet flow of this vast "River of Grass." These he will feed into a computer for solving problems of ebb and flow. Then biolo­ gists will record how plants and animals respond to these stresses, and how that life and that stress fit together. Finally, they may be able to tell resource management when water should flood and when it should recede in order to accom­ modate the needs of the park's flow of life. Technical papers document the changing face of our jigsaw. As early as 1963, Dr. Durbin Tabb of the University of Miami noted the reduced flow of water in the park. Then from a collation of known research, he concluded that "Funda­ mental ecological research is clearly needed," to determine the effect of change on plant and Wood storks at Big Cypress National Preserve, Fla. animal populations.

With a little extra planning and support from park officials, the team has opened up the red sandstone wonders of Lake Powell in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Ariz.-Utah to patients suffering from kidney failure who are dependent for survival on periodic kidney dialysis. This spring and summer the team will take three more groups of patients to Lake Powell and for the first time will introduce patients to the roadless areas of Canyonlands National Park, Utah. "Complete rehabilitation has always been one of the goals of our dialysis unit," says Warner. "These trips are something that take our people one step closer to as normal a life as possible." Besides the dedication of the dialysis center team, the factor that makes these trips possible is a new advance in kidney dialysis machines developed at the University of Utah. The Wearable Artificial Kidney (WAK) is an 8-pound unit worn in front of the body and held on by belts. It replaces the conventional washing machine-sized dialysis unit used in clinics and homes to cleanse patients' blood of impurities after the kidneys have failed. Even while dialyzing,

3 NPS/black college co-op program slated

By Kathleen A. Pleasant Cooperative Activities, WASO Representatives from 12 colleges and universities with a predominance of black enrollments met with NPS officials March 15 at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., to discuss a proposed Parks and Recreation Cooperative Education program slated to get underway this summer. An observer from the National Park and Recreation Association and a student enrolled in the present cooperative program were also on hand. The proposed new program is aimed at preparing substantial numbers of minorities for NPS careers in the park and recreation fields. Faculty members who attended were: Dr. Clifford T. Seymour, Southern University, La.; Dr. Howard Davis, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Ms. Lynne Young, University of the District of Columbia, D.C.; Dr. William M. Sanders, Grambling State University, La; Professor John Fairfax, Howard University, D.C.; Dr. Melvin I.

4 afternoon session by outlining the details of the proposed Parks and Recreation Cooperative Education Program. The University Consortium will nominate, and the Park Service will select from these nominations, as many as five students from each college. The student candidates for the program must be enrolled as full-time cooperative education students at a school in a curriculum leading to a Bachelor's degree in Parks and Recreation. Upon entering the program, the trainees must anticipate at least three summers, or the equivalent time-span, of on-the-job training in order to qualify for placement in an available NPS Parks and Recreation career-conditional position. After the trainees have graduated from college and have completed their on-the-job training, it would be the responsibility of NPS, within 120 days to offer permanent employment to the students. They would enter the Park Service workforce at the GS-5 level and after satisfactory performance could be promoted to GS-7 and finally to the journeyman level of GS-9. It is anticipated that between 30 and 40 students will enter the program the first year. The objective of this proposal is to create a pool of academically trained minorities and women from which to draw (From left) Yvonne Washington, National Recreation and Park Association; Russ individuals for Parks and Recreation Olsen, Acting Associate Director, Administrative Services; and Dr. Howard Davis, Tus- careers with the National Park Service. kegee Institute, Ala.

The proposed Parks and Recreation Cooperative Education Program that Deputy Director Hutchison unveiled is the most extensive affirmative action plan ever introduced by NPS and the faculty members were eager to hear about all its aspects. Questions were raised concerning housing, salaries, transportation, potential job freezes, counseling methods, and NPS funds and assistance for training at the colleges. The Deputy Director stressed that although this program is still in its proposal stage, he intends to have a demonstration program implemented this summer. University Consortium members unanimously expressed approval of the proposal and will soon be forthcoming with their formal responses to the Director. The National Park Service is committed to equal employment opportunities for its employees. The Parks and Recreation Cooperative Education Program would be a major affirmative action initiative in fulfilling this commitment and equalizing the profile of NPS personnel from the standpoint of race and sex.

5 Edison's 131st birthday celebrated

Thomas Alva Edison's West Orange (N.J.) Laboratory opened as a public museum in 1948 on the 101st anniversary of the inventor's birth—Feb. 11. Son, Charles, bought the first ticket. Thirty years later another anniversary was marked with a reception in the library of the Edison National Historic Site on the occasion of Edison's 131st birthday. The public museum concept was begun by the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation, founded Feb. 11, 1947, 100 years after the inventor's birth in Milan, Ohio. After a year of effort, the museum was opened under the direction of Admiral Harold G. Bowen, executive director of the Foundation. The museum was operated by the Foundation until 1956 when it was Harold S. Anderson and George A. Palmer flank bust of Thomas A.

Inventions, including the motion picture camera, silent and sound movies, the nickel-alkaline electric storage battery and much-improved photographs came from this laboratory. The 30th anniversary ceremonies were attended by former Edison employees and associates, and current and former NPS employees. A highlight was the recollections of Theodore Edison, surviving son of the inventor, who described the problems in constructing the Former Edison employees and associates celebrate 30th anniversary of Museum's Edison Exhibit at the Chicago World's public opening in the laboratory library Feb. 11.

6 Girl Scouts get ranger's tips on winter survival

On Valentine's Day, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, N.J.-Pa., Ranger Paul Tyner had the pleasure of speaking to a group of 157 young women from 38 States and four foreign countries. His topic—personal survival awareness. His audience—a group of Girl Scouts. The meeting, called "Winter Wonderland," is one of many Girl Scout programs, and was held at the Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC), a cooperating organization in the Dingmans Sub-District of Delaware Water Gap NRA. Winter Wonderland was designed to provide winter sports and social activities. "The social interaction between the girls from wide backgrounds offers them the opportunity to grow in their ability to understand and cooperate with others," said Michele Conrad, program director. PEEC is administered by Keystone Junior College in cooperation with the Park Service. It is set among the pines and hardwoods of Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. PEEC provides a meeting place with food and sleeping accommodations for environmentally oriented groups. The center provides The Winter Wonderland program offered Riding the ski lift was a new experience classroom space and instruction in the first opportunity for some of the Scouts for some of the Scouts. environmental education as well as an to share the pleasure of winter sports. outstanding natural setting for first hand observation and practice. The center has indoor and outdoor pools, crafts rooms, cooperation and physical training trails, audio visual equipment, and demonstration units, including an organic garden and tree farm. Bird and plant identification, nature walks and woodcraft are daily activities, supervised by PEEC's knowledgeable staff. This was the first time this program was offered in the wintertime. Some of the girls had never seen snow before. They used the Jean Claude Killy Shawnee Ski area for downhill skiing instruction. PEEC provided equipment and trails for cross-country skiing and other winter sports such as ice skating, "tubeing," and sledding. Other activities included winter biology, survival training, crafts, natural foods and photography. Evening programs include square dancing, survival awareness and even a sing-along with resident musicians. Outdoor careers were discussed. A special participant in the program was Donna Brown from the Philadelphia School for the Blind. "(She) enjoys all the outdoor activities with the help and consideration of her friends," said Ranger Tyner. "They are willing to go at Donna's speed and offer her directions, without being overprotective." Tyner attributes the open attitude to "the girls themselves and their 16 counselors, who have a philosophy of The Pocono Environmental Education Center (PEEC) offered a variety of winter directing but not controlling." activities for the Scouts.

8 First Yellowstone-Teton Nordic Race held

By Bill Foreman Park Ranger Yellowstone National Park, Wyo. A few Yellowstone National Park employees decided that a cross-country ski race would be a good way to get out and get together. Hence, the First Annual Yellowstone-Teton Nordic Race was organized and held Feb. 7. National Park Service and Concession employees from Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park, and the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Parkway, were urged to be contestants. The emphasis was on physical fitness, skill, and having a good time rather than on competition. As a result, 38 entered the race. The race course was 5.7 miles long, and laid out as a loop, starting and ending at the South Entrance of the Park. There was plenty of variety with the course, first following an old phone line, then a creek. It cut through the forest, across a meadow and then back into the trees, to the finish line. There was something for everyone, with ups and downs, a level part, crooked sections, and a straightaway. The route was scenic as well as challenging, and a few of the skiers entered the race more to see that part of the park in the winter, than to win. The entrants were made up of a All set for the take-off. Yellowstone employees join in cross-country ski race. diversified group of people. They included clerk-typists, Park Company snow-coach drivers, seasonal rangers, waitresses, the chief ranger of Grand Teton, Allen Atchinson, Yellowstone Superintendent The ski trail followed an old phone line, then a creek, cut through the forest, across John Townsley and his daughter Gail. a meadow and then back into the trees to the finish line. Since the temperature was right at freezing, waxing was very important. Some contestants began waxing an hour and a half before the race, and were still trying to get the wax just right, minutes before the race began. Even with all the preparation, some racers had problems with their skis icing up. After the race, just about everyone gathered at Flagg Ranch for dinner, dancing, and the awards ceremony. Because there was no entry fee, the race was "low budget," and awards were not expensive. A few "used" trophies were donated, and a broken ski pole was presented for last place. The benefits of having such an event were many: some people improved their physical fitness level before the race; old friends who had not seen each other since the roads closed last fall, got together; people from different organizations met on a social, rather than business level; and a rather diversified group of people shared a memorable experience. Since the first race provided such a good time, there is already talk of the Second Annual Yellowstone-Teton Nordic Race, 1979. This year's contestants, and many who couldn't make the first race, are look­ ing forward to an annual event, that adds spice to Yellowstone's winter activities!!
