recipient of the George Peter Award
for Dedicated Service on September
27. Beebe, under the impression
she was in charge of bringing Vice
President for Human Resources Mary
Opperman to her surprise birthday
party, was pleasantly surprised
herself to learn that the party was
really for her!
Janet came to Cornell in 1986
as an administrative assistant in
the department of Nuclear Studies.
A year later, she transferred into a
position with the Cornell Recreation
Connection (CRC). She relocated to
Florida in 1994 and two years later
returned to the same position with
CRC. Most everyone who knows
Janet, relates her to the fun side of
Cornell in her role with CRC. In
addition to her CRC responsibilities
in the Office of Human Resources,
Janet also provides support for the
Cornell Retirees Association (CRA)
and Cornell Retirees Volunteering in
Service (CRVIS).
Retiree Arlene Smith, Janet’s
nominator, said “Janet has a can-do
attitude, doing way above what her

that “Janet is

Cornell
trustee emeritus
George Peter,
for whom the
award is named,
presented Janet
with the award
plaque and
noted that,
“When we
honor you, we
honor ourselves
and the staff
throughout
the university
who you have
touched.”
Janet is also
community oriented— shortly

to the Lansing
area, she was

After thanking everyone for
attending Janet has an opportunity
to display her trademark sense of
humor as she kept the audience
laughing with anecdotes about juggling the variety of responsibilities
in her position—from calls for help
at the CRC Park to finding lost toy
swords in the children’s Halloween
fright house, to working with retirees who have more energy than she
ever anticipated.
Janet’s partner, Earl “Coach”
Westbrook, her son Jason, mother,
sisters, friends, Employee Assembly
members, CRC members, PawPrint
Board, Cornell retirees and OHR
colleagues all helped Janet celebrate
over lunch and a large cake.
The George Peter Award for
Dedicated Service Award given by
the Employee Assembly’s Communications Committee, recognizes staff
members who consistently demonstrate a high degree of excellence in
their work and prove a willingess to

George Peter
recent article (I don’t remember where and by whom) dealt with the
importance of having passion for life. The author claims that people
will live healthier and longer lives if they have hobbies, work, or
iinterests
nterests that they pursue with passion. Some of us have known this for years.
People who pursue their life’s work with gusto and with an excitement for what
they do, not only will live longer, but they will live more healthy, stimulating
and useful lives.
By contrast, too many treat work as a necessary evil. My friend, Dr. Ryan
points out that the opposite of evil (spelled in reverse) is LIVE. A recent cartoon
showed poor Dagwood complaining to Blondie that he thought he didn’t want
to go to work that day. Blondie reminded him that his was not a very positive
attitude. His reply was, “You are right! I know that I don’t want to go to work.”
Dilbert asks the question, What is there besides work? The answer was,
“complaining about work.”
Isn’t that all too sad! In school, some children gang up with a certain
crowd who promote the idea that to work hard and study is for nerds. Those
same children, if teamed with those who are stimulated and challenged by hard
work and study, will develop to be some of the best scholars.
The work environment is no different. Share your passion for work with
those around you. It is contagious. Better yet, it is healthy for all.

ust like many of you, I have been absolutely
preoccupied with the events unfolding around this
country and am accepting very slowly that our lives
will never be the same. The Employee Assembly is joining with CRC, GPSA and
other groups to effectively assist our New York City neighbors with the rescue
efforts while keeping our local economy strong.
The EA
The EA is tentatively planning a fundraiser and is calling
upon all artisans and craftspeople to make, create and
Reaches
donate goods and wares. These items will then be sold
Out
and a portion of the proceeds will go to assist with the
September 11th relief efforts. We need your expertise to coordinate this event.
Currently there are warehouses in the New York City area being used in
conjunction with the ground zero rescue efforts as restocking and unloading
bases. As a result of the generous donations being made daily to the many
agencies in New York City, there exists a substantial need to catalog and
manually organize those donations. The type of work varies and is labor that
desperately needs to be completed. There are many ways you can help this
effort including volunteering your services.
These are the times that volunteerism shines and thrives and if you are
interested in volunteering, the American Red Cross is one of many local
agencies looking for people just like you. Mike Raffe, Emergency Services
director for the Tompkins County Chapter, can provide you with upcoming
training dates. He can be reached at 273-1900, ext. 11.
Additionally, we would like to thank all of you who attended the President’s
Address and Employee Assembly Emergency Grant Fund Auction during last
week’s Staff Celebration Week. Thanks to you, we were able to raise awareness
and more than $2,000 for our Employee Emergency Grant Fund.
