ES & H Introduces New Safety Incentives for Employees
Once all Divisions and Sections reach one hundred days or more without a DART case, a computer will randomly select three employees who will have their names listed on the LSC homepage and will also receive a Fermilab polo shirt.
"For every day that we go over one hundred days without a DART case, three different employees will be selected to receive the safety incentive until we have another DART case, at which time we will have to rebuild the picture of Wilson Hall," said Bill Griffing, Head of ES&H. "We hope that this will make people more aware of safety and will also encourage people to regularly check the LSC webpage to see how we are doing."

From Los Alamos National Laboratory Investigation finds Laboratory employee innocent in Mustang case LOS ALAMOS, N.M., June 26, 2003 -- A University of California and Los Alamos National Laboratory internal investigation into the allegation that a Laboratory employee attempted to purchase a Mustang automobile with government funds has uncovered evidence that the employee was not responsible for any wrongdoing in the case.
The UC-LANL legal team review indicates that Laboratory employee Lillian P. Anaya, a procurement specialist in the Business Operations Division, may have been a victim of fraud perpetrated by a third party and at no time attempted to purchase a Mustang automobile with her LANL purchase card.

The buzz on the mosquito front The two "Mosquito Magnets," placed in the woods near the Lederman Science Education Center with the help of Roads and Grounds, are really working, said Barb Kristen, who is helping coordinate arrangements for Lepton-Photon 2003 with the lab's PPD Conferences Office. The devices, purchased with Lepton-Photon funds from a local hardware store, are charged with clearing mosquitoes from the area of daily outdoor luncheons scheduled during the Aug. 11-16 conference. Kristen, a member of the lab's Ecological Land Management (ELM) committee, said the "magnets" have been used by other federal agencies and appear to be environmentally friendly. They use propane gas to heat a cartridge that emits carbon dioxide, attracting mosquitoes, then using a vacuum pump to trap them in a net where they eventually expire. "Mosquitoes are attracted by body heat, and by the carbon dioxide in our breath," Kristen said. "We're finding many mosquitoes in the net, so it seems to work."
What if the mosquitoes figure out the system, get mad and decide to strike back? "Then we're in trouble," Kristen said.
