Laura Burrows, a well respected, much loved, Cornell Outdoor Education (COE) team member,

was honored with the George Peter Award for Dedicated Service at a reception in the Hall of Fame Room on November 30.

COE Business Manager Mark Schrader, Burrows’ supervisor who nominated her for the award, spoke of her exceptional job performance and her many special contributions to the COE office. George Peter, who knew Burrows from her volunteer work on the PawPrint editorial board, presented a framed certificate of award. Employee Assembly officer Joe DeMarco emceed the reception.

A 1994 Cornell graduate with a degree in Agriculture Life Science, Burrows, a half-time COE accounts assistant, typifies the qualities honored in the George Peter Award. A good communicator in person and on the phone, she offers superior

customer service through her genuine willingness to help students, outside vendors, and her peers in the university’s accounting world. Always a team member, Burrows is not afraid to voice her opinions and thoughtfully contributes to COE discussions. Throughout her conversations she displays a lively sense of humor.

To build comraderie, Burrows proactively organizes small events at COE; fresh vegetables weekly in season; ice cream on special occasions; and homemade snacks for COE managers’ meetings. Through her quiet behind-the-scenes efforts to help keep COE healthy—such as caring for COE’s basement office plants—Burrows makes a significant contribution to a team of outdoor professionals who work in an environment without windows.

In addition Burrows was cited as a one-of-a-kind individual who lives her life in accordance with her values. Environmentally conscious

and part of a local green builder’s group, she lives a self-sustainable lifestyle in a house without running water, indoor plumbing or electricity.

In celebration of the award, Burrows received a Downtown Dollars gift certificate from the Office of Human Resources and other gifts included certificates from the Cornell Store, Banfi’s Restaurant and the Cornell Recreation Connection. In addition she was given a photographic session and a cruise on Cayuga Lake, courtesy of Marian

and Don Hartill. Schrader, commenting that “Laura exemplifies the spirit of this award, and is a true asset to both Cornell Outdoor Education and to the university,” presented her with a certificate for a day off with pay.

The George Peter Award for Dedicated Service is coordinated by the Employee Assembly. This prestigious award dates back to 1980, the first year of the fledgling staff newspaper Networking, which later grew into today’s PawPrint. In 1999,

the Employee Assembly renamed the award in honor of George Peter, Cornell’s tireless staff advocate and first employee-elected trustee. Burrows is the 162nd Cornell staff person so honored during the 25 years of the award’s history.

Cornell Outdoor Education a Winner, Too

Cornell Outdoor Education earned the 2005 David Webb Program Excellence Award at the fall national conference of the Association for Outdoor Recreation & Education (AORE). This annual award honors an outstanding non-profit outdoor program which has provided dynamic and innovative services to its participants, demonstrated professionalism and high standards of conduct, and contributed to the outdoor community at large by sharing information and assisting other programs.

“Cornell Outdoor Education was honored for this award,” stated AORE President Russ Crispell, “due to the outstanding quality of the program. COE is not only highly respected, it is used as the standard for our field. This award is a tribute to the program’s strong leadership and the exemplary opportunities for students to grow and learn.”

Todd Miner, COE executive director, explained, “Kudos go out to all our enthusiastic student leaders, superb professional staff and generous advisory board-the folks who made this award possible.”

For more information, see AORE’s web site at www.aore.org.

An Armenian FableGeorge Peter

T here is an old Armenian fable that goes like this:There was and was not a farmer going to

market carrying grain on his donkey’s back. Along the way he passed a thin and hungry-looking man on the side of the road. The young man stopped the farmer and said, “I couldn’t help noticing that you have your donkey loaded down with grain. I see that you have two large sacks of grain hanging on one side of the donkey, and a large rock tied with rope on the other side.”

“I always do it that way to balance the load on the donkey,” said the farmer. “I’m sure that’s so,” replied the young man, “but you are weighing down the donkey unnecessarily! Why don’t you divide the sacks so that you have one on each side? You can get rid of the rock and lighten the donkey’s load.”

This made good sense to the farmer, who started to untie the rope. He said, “You’re a smart young fellow; you must be rich!”

“Not at all,” said the young man. “I’m just a poor schoolteacher.”The farmer stopped, looked the scrawny man over, and started to retie the

ropes as they were before. He said, “Compared to you, I’m pretty well off, so I think I’ll stick to doing things my way.”

We can learn from fables – that’s what they are for. Borrowed from “Armenia” by Lucine Kasbarian, Dillon Press 1998

The Most Important Gift of AllLeon Lawrence, EA Member

During the holiday season we have much to be thankful for that goes far beyond, of course, the gifts or presents that are traditionally given

and received. We all experience the most important gift of all—“life.”

Let us be thankful during this holiday season that we are still here to enjoy what life has to offer us beyond our material possessions. Let us be thankful that we have adequate food, clothing and shelter. Additionally, let us continue to share with those who are less fortunate than us so they, too, can have their basic needs met.

Especially during the holiday season, let us remember and act accordingly that “it is better to give than to receive.” Let’s continue throughout the year to make contributions or give, in whatever form we find appropriate, to help improve the lives of others in our global village at home and abroad.

Finally, let’s take good care of our bodies, minds and spirits so that we may enjoy our greatest gift—“life”—to the fullest extent possible!

A Quick Look Back

Leslie Intemann

I never put much stock in New Year’s resolutions until this past year. I guess I wanted to shake myself up. After all, age 40 was looming just over the

horizon, and I knew it was now or never.I started not by making a list 10 feet long but by considering all I could do. I

had plenty of room to grow, but I knew if I felt the least bit overwhelmed, out the door my list would go. So I chose one item in both the personal and professional arenas. I also started them at different times of the year.

Professionally, I chose to work on my communication skills. “A writer who can’t communicate?” said a colleague. “Communicators are notoriously lousy at communicating,” I replied. He stopped short.

I took the 13-week Communication Certificate Program offered by the Office of Human Resources. Listening, dealing with emotions, difficult conversations, interacting with groups, giving feedback, and writing were covered. Was it easy? No. Was it worth it? Absolutely. The next Cornell session is scheduled for January 10 to April 11, 2006.

I rounded out the year by taking Cornell’s inaugural 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Signature Program by Franklin Covey. For that we worked on achieving personal and interpersonal effectiveness from the inside out. Taught by Cornell Information Technologies’s own Michael Swenson, it was again worth every penny. The next Cornell session is tentatively scheduled for March 2006.

And personally? I’ve lost 26 pounds since last July. I run three miles before work most mornings, and they know me in multiple Cornell Wellness classes. Only 30 more pounds to go. Because when I turn 40 next spring, I plan to be fabulous inside and out.

Rose Braman and Ruth Merle-Doyle, PawPrint Board Memebers

The holidays are a time for sharing traditions and creating memories. On Friday, December 9, nearly 60 people came together to share in one of Cornell’s traditions—the 9th Annual Holiday Unity Celebration.

Rev. Ken Clarke, CURW Director, welcomed everyone and reminded them that the holidays are a “time to recharge your batteries.” The CU ROSE Trombone Quartet played some holiday tunes to set the mood. Five speakers presented their thoughts and views of holiday traditions in their culture. These included: Mary Beth Grant, judicial administrator, the Zen of Christmas Cinnamon

Buns; Gwendolyn Alden Dean, LGBT Resource Center coordinator, Neo-Pagan Traditions/Winter Solstice; Sofia Windstam, graduate student in plant pathology, Swedish Traditions; Aaron Levy, rabbi at Cornell Hillel, Variant Views of Hanukkah; and Sophie Sidhu, assistant dean for diversity and outreach, Dean of Students Office, Combining Indian and American Holiday Traditions.

Family is important in many cultures. Celebrations involve spending time with family, often baking special foods, sweet breads, and treats, and sharing stories and memories. Decorations of evergreens, mistletoe, and holly hold a promise of sun and life in the Neo-Pagan tradition. Light is a symbol of significance in Jewish, Indian, American, and Swedish traditions. Light offers hope and new beginnings.

Throughout the event, people gained an appreciation of the diversity of the Cornell community including its many traditions and cultures. International foods, desserts, and punch were enjoyed by all, compliments of Cornell Catering, Cornell Dairy Bar, Joe DeMarco, and George Peter. Thanks to Judi Eastburn and Janice Miles for helping with the set up and serving.

The event was sponsored by Cornell United Religious Work (CURW), Cornell Catering, Employee Assembly, Staff Outreach/OHR, and Cornell Recreation Connection (CRC). We appreciate everyone who enlightened us, those who came to listen, and all those who helped make this an enjoyable learning opportunity. We hope you have a happy holiday season!
