It’s a given to not use such in polite company. And yet most of us have not been shielded from such language. Growing up on a farm and serving in the army were not exactly places that shielded us from earthy language. Further, I grew up in an Arabic speaking family. My mother came from a peasant village where earthy language was the norm. Her pious and proper manner would be aghast if a woman crossed her legs (even with long dresses.) But she was comfortable using earthy language at home. My Armenian father who was fluent in Arabic also, would crank and crank his old Ford tractor and when it would not start, he would let out with, “May God burn the religion of Henry Ford the big one.” (This is much more poetic in Arabic.) We also learned to swear in Finnish from our neighbor who would curse his horses. (When he got near the village, he would switch to English cursing.) The point of all this reminiscence is to note that each of us is a product of our individual exposure to other lives, cultures, and situations. Fortunately, in polite company we have learned to divest ourselves (most of the time) from such language. Wouldn’t it be great if polite company would expect us to divest ourselves from the abusive and excessive use of street talk. “You know!” www.

Beaver A Congratulations to Kathy Berggren, the winner of the Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts “Ugly Bridesmaid Dress Contest.” Kathy’s fuschia conconction complete with poufy sleeves and a rhinestone clip was the clear overall “favorite,” as voted by audience members attending the Schwartz Center regional premiere of Alan Ball’s play, Five Women Wearing the Same Dress. Kathy received a gift certificate from both City Style Hair Salon and the Schwartz Center for the Performing Arts Cornell United Religious Works Sponsors Upcoming Series Exploring Spirituality in the Workplace A unique series of three brown bag lunch discussions exploring the nature of how to live faithfully at work kicks off Monday, March 14 in the Edwards Room of Anabel Taylor Hall. The series, to be held from noon12:45 p.m., is open to staff interested in discovering how to be mindful of the sacred within daily life. t a recent PawPrint meeting, one of my colleagues brought up the winter blues. Taking her lead on the idea that we need Vickey A. Beaver a pick-me-up during the gloomy parts of winter, I went searching for help. Midway down the first page of the results from www. google.com, I spotted a familiar name. The leader for the page was, “Gannett Advice on Beating the Winter Blues.” Yes, it is our very own Gannett Center! Priscilla Berggren-Thomas, a Quaker (Religious Society of Friends) seminary student who is serving as an intern with Cornell United Religious Works (CURW), will facilitate the three-part series meeting Mondays on March 14, 28, and April 4. The title of the article is Beating the Winter Blues: A practical guide on how to get through winter at Cornell. It can be found at www.gannett.cornell. edu/healthAtoZ/healthAdvice/winterBlues.html. It just goes to show how much information you can find really close to home. In the busyness of daily work life, staff members may find It easy to lose track of the very essence of who they are. Participants in this unique series will discuss those moments during the work days where they feel the sacredness of the work they do; practices used to increase awareness of the Divine; and other topics as the group chooses. March 2 Multicultural Reading Circle Session Announced Cornell professor and author, Nick Salvatore, will speak about his new book, Singing in a Strange Land: C.L. Franklin, The Black Church, and the Transformation of America on Wednesday, March 2 at 7:00 p.m. The event will take place in the Borg Warner-East Room at the Tompkins County Public Library. There will be a question and answer period, as well as a book signing. The late C.L. Franklin, Aretha Franklin’s father, was a minister who “insisted his audiences lift their voices and express their songs” in ways that they could not do with the spoken word. To read more about this work, visit www.nicksalvatore.com. Books will be available for sale at the event, which is being sponsored by The Bookery. For more information, call 255-3976.

For more information, call 254KIDS or e-mail [email protected]. THE WHAT???!!! The All-Bear Review is a wild and crazy (but very enthusiastic) bunch of men and women from the University’s Development Office. The original cast of ten made their debut at the Office’s annual summer picnic at Stewart Park (then dressed in jeans and t’shirts and holding scripts in front of their faces). In short, their first performance consisted of three songs which basically poked harmless fun at the staff. That was in the summer of 1980. By January of 1981 the group of ten (then minus a few and plus a few others) graduated to cue cards, piano accompaniment, red and white cheerleading costumes, pom-poms, hats, black coats, and canes to celebrate the victorious close of The Cornell Campaign. The nervous cast performed to a surprised audience of well over 100 employees, with Cornell’s President sitting front and center! The standing ovation, however, made it all worthwhile. Still, after weeks of grueling rehearsals held after hours, the group decided to announce their retirement. Such was the case until Ray Handlan, Director of the Development Office and former emcee of the All-Bear Review, decided to take a job at Syracuse University. Once more, most of the original cast (plus 2 new additions) were coerced into a three-song farewell show at a gathering held in October atop the Johnson Art Museum. After hearing rave reviews of this unusual troupe, Networking’s roving reporter polled each “bear” to ask the million dollar question: “Why did you do it?” “The All-Bear Review was probably most unique because we came in all shapes and sizes. Some of us sang low, some high, and some of us could hardly sing at all! Enthusiasm was what counted. How did I “persuade” the participants? A little arm-twisting here; a little bribery there. It was always for a good cause and always a lot of fun. Now if I could just find a few willing individuals for just one more performance... –Barbara Smalley Writer/Editor Rumors had it that the members of the All-Bear Review were a fun-loving group. Being one who likes to have fun, I decided to join. For the record, they are not fun-loving...they are WILD & CRAZY! I never knew the meaning of stage fright until two minutes before the big event--would someone please let me know what the program was all about? -Georginna Eisenmann Why did I participate? Let me tell you, I did some real soul-searching. Why should I, a harried, overworked secretary with a On Target Get Connected with PawPrintFlash O staggering burden of daily responsibilities, want to donate so much of my valuable time to this frivolous activity? Did I do it out of loyalty to my associates? Did I do it to avoid displeasing my employer? Did I succumb to peer pressure? Did I do it out of sheer love of performing/ Perhaps it was an artistic impulse that drove me to do such a thing, a true respect for fine music and dance. Well, after pondering this question for many long hours, the truth finally becomes clear to me: I did it for the money! -Lisa King Staff spirit is very important and I thought the All-Bear Review would develop and promote it. So I “eagerly” accepted when I was asked (actually I was tricked... they said they needed one man to agree initially in order for the other to join... I learned later that they gave the same line to David McCann. The two os us “bought” it; only the two of us!) It has been great fun and I think we’ve been successful in building staff spirit. -Royal Govain It was fun. You get to know your co-workers in a different light. It makes people laugh and besides, I’m a frustrated singerdancer. -Shelley Semmler The All-Bear Review gave each of us an opportunity to express our otherwise “hidden” talents as well as celebrate auspicious occasions in Cornell’s history, such as the completion of the $230 Million Campaign. Barbara Smalley’s able writing and directing has created a spirit of camaraderie not only among the cast but among those who come to chuckle and wonder! In our last performance, as Ray Handlan’s administrative aide, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to “ham it up” on his behalf. I think Ray would agree that vaudeville is alive and well at the Office of University Development! -Diane Dawson It was my last chance of fame and stardom. After all, with our heterogeneous grouping, who could feel out of place? -Linda Kabelac (Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb) Barbara had a “bear review,” It’s cast was true & funny too. Grandma Pat Gray had joined the crew, And really had a ball. When asked why I would join this group, The answer came in one fell swoop, I really had a ball. Rehearsals really made us work, Turn with a jerk, act beserk. A togetherness that made us perk, It really was a ball. Barbara had a “bear review,” My personal view, when it was through. Was one of pride and pleasure too, I really had a ball -Pat Gray The All-Bear Review - I remember it well. I swore a solemn oath after the first one that I’d never again stand up in a funny hat in front of a huge bunch of people and hoof it, but Barbara was persuasive. She should be in fundraising! Fortunately, she didn’t make us memorize the songs. A reception or celebratory event is fun to be invited to, and to attend, but there is nothing like singing and dancing with a bunch of people, or risking that much, to show you how special an event like that can be. I just hope Ray Handlan enjoyed our crazy show even half as much as I did. But I’m glad it is over too! And I’m going to run next time I see Barbara approaching! -David McCann Wellness Health Fair Scheduled for March 16 ver 1,400 Cornell staffers are already subscribed to PAWPRINTFLASH-L which posts information about staff centered events & activities, CRC trips & events, special promotions at the Cornell Store and Plantations, special moneysaving offers and more!
