uring this busy autumn
season, one event you will
not want to miss is Cornell’s
Open Enrollment BeneFair, set
for Thursday, November 10, 9:00
a.m. - 3:00 p.m. in G10 Biotech.
BeneFair is the annual event during
which staff and faculty have the
opportunity to ask questions and

programs with Benefit Services staff.
Many health vendors, insurance
and investment representatives,
employees, the option transfer
period will begin when NYS releases
health rates and ends 30 days from
the release date. Both endowed
and contract college employees
can choose to enroll in Cornell’s
Select Benefits Medical Care and
Dependent Care programs. Keep in
mind that all employees who are
receiving a Child Care Grant will
need to enroll in the Select Benefits
Dependent Care Program. Those
interested in participating in Select
Benefits must enroll each year.
In early November, all university
endowed and contract college staff
and faculty will receive at their
home addresses a packet with
information on benefit choices.
As soon as NYS releases health
rates, contract college employees
will receive a second mailing with
information on their health care
rates for the coming year.
If you have any questions,
contact Benefit Services, 130 Day
Hall, 607-255-3936, or e-mail

Family History Databases
Two important genealogical databases, Ancestry Library Edition and
HeritageQuest Online, have been added to the thousands of resources
available online for campus use. Now anyone on campus (or Ithaca-based
staff, faculty and students off-campus) can search records containing
information about millions of individuals in the United States, Canada, and
the United Kingdom.
With these tools, the time needed for research with the census schedules
has collapsed from weeks and months to minutes. While developed with
the genealogist in mind, these resources can serve scholarly research as well
because the databases may contain information about an individual’s age,
family, religion, reading abilities, race, and occupation.The two databases are
complementary, and both include copies of the U.S. Census starting in 1790
to 1930. In total there are over 4,000 databases containing more than 1.5
billion names in Ancestry Library Edition. In addition to the U.S. Census,
HeritageQuest Online offers records on the Revolutionary War Pension and
Bounty Land Warrant Application Files, which identify more than 80,000
American military, naval, and marine officers and enlisted men.
“I used the Revolutionary War Pension files to gain insight into the
lives and hardships of ancestors in the late 1700s and early 1800s,” said
Dean Krafft, director of Computing Facilities in the Computer Science
department. As a teenager, Krafft inherited an interest in genealogy from
his grandparents who had done significant research on several earlier
generations. “In the mid 90s I really re-connected to genealogy as a
computer phenomenon,” he explained.
Both genealogical resources are now available through the library in the
catalog, the Find Databases system, or at
http://resolver.library.cornell.edu/misc/5508448 (for HeritageQuest)
and http://resolver.library.cornell.edu/misc/5508453 (for Ancestry Library
Edition). A general guide to genealogical research at Cornell is available at
http://www.library.cornell.edu/olinuris/ref/genpage.htm.
Foundation Directory Online on Library Gateway
Members of the Cornell community can now also search a major database
for funding opportunities via the Library Gateway. Foundation Directory
Online contains information on 80,000 grant-making organizations and
500,000 grants awarded by large foundations. This is the first version
available over the Internet, and a wide range of subject areas is covered.
When searching for foundations, a user may specify field of interest,
geographic focus, size of annual donations and type of grant maker.

Spearheaded by Judy Hart, director of human resources for Student and Academic Services, in response to the
hike in energy prices following Hurricane Katrina, the fair was designed and organized through the efforts of
many individuals, departments, and units across campus, many of
whom donated door prizes as well (see “Bear Tracks”, page 3, for a
list of the 123 door prize winners).
Many Volunteers Pitched In
“We’d like especially to thank the Department of Utilities
and Energy Management for their support of this event and their
very generous contribution to the cost of the booths,” said Mary
Opperman, vice president for human resources. “Thanks also to
the Department of Building Care for the set-up and tear-down
of the event, to the Electrical Shop and the Carpentry Shop, to
Transportation and Mail Services for parking permits for the
participants, and to Cornell Dining for providing discounted hot
dogs and lunches. Wegmans also provided lunches for those who
staffed the booths and displays.”

The following individuals deserve special thanks for serving on the committee and staffing the event itself:
Hart was especially appreciative of the response of Cornell
individuals to help with this event on such short notice, including
George Peter, employee trustee emeritus, who made a special trip
to campus to welcome attendees. “Staff from offices all across
campus spent many of their own hours to serve on the Energy Fair
Committee, make phone calls, ask for donations, come to meetings,
organize publicity, and help during the day of the event,” Hart said.
“I think we were all very happy to be able to do something concrete
to help our staff plan for the increased cost of energy this winter.”

Linda Starr, Dennis Stein, Denise Thompson, Vanessa Toevs, Pete Tufford, Bob Wakeman, Jamie Weber.
Will the event be held again? “With over 1,600 staff and faculty
coming to the fair, it shows that there is a real interest in energy
savings,” said Hart. “If we do it again, we will have more time to
plan in advance, and hopefully involve even more area vendors and agencies, and be better prepared for
the high number of people.”

September MealChoice Winners
One of the most popular display booths was that by Cornell Cooperative Extension. They took the opportunity
presented by the Energy Fair to gather information from Cornell employees on what they might do this Fall to
help them reduce their energy bills. They asked participants to take a survey, which listed a number of relatively
simple, relatively low-cost or no cost practices and technologies that can be applied in houses or apartments
to reduce energy use, along with the savings a person could expect if they implemented one or more of those
practices.

areas of genealogical and funding databases which could prove useful
to interested staff.
These were a few of the many favorable comments that participants made about Cornell’s Inaugural Energy
Information Fair, held all day Tuesday, October 11, in Barton Hall. The fair brought together area businesses,
suppliers, and agencies knowledgeable about products and services related to energy efficiency, with plenty of
tips and resources for participants to help them save some heating and transportation energy dollars this winter.
In addition, students from the Public Service Center and the Cornell Commitment will be responding to staff
requests for assistance with home weatherizing projects.

I
t was neat to connect with so many friends and
(long time) acquaintances during the recent
Energy Fair held in Barton Hall. Many people came
to me and commented that they enjoy the “Leadership George Peter
Leads” column. Some indicated that they liked the fact that I come up with a
different topic each time even though pretty much on the same subject about
leadership.
I’m not so sure that I don’t repeat myself sometimes. In fact, I think that I
have told this story before: A new preacher was hired in this church in Vermont.
He gave a terrific sermon the first Sunday and the Deacons were very pleased.
He gave the very same sermon the next Sunday and the one after that. The
Deacons went to him and complained. “Don’t you have another sermon?” they
asked. He replied, “Of course I do! But until we start practicing the message in
the first one, we should not move on to lesson number two.”
Most of the “Leadership Leads” columns deal with the vital need to improve
leadership concepts and how to improve the workplace atmosphere. If there
are still problems, and many tell me there are, then we need to repeat the same
basic concepts of treating every employee as an important contributor to the
overall mission of the university. And every employee needs to sense that he or
she is providing that important service to the institution.
When that is accomplished, we can move on to lesson number two!
