At WPRΓs headquarters on West Hill (the former orphanage of the Interna- tional Order of Odd Fellows), he excavated fossil mollusks from atop shelves, behind furnaces and under stairwells. These fossils had two histories, one buried deep in geologic time and one more recently dug up from PRFs roots in Cornell's distinguished tra- dition in paleontology. Allmon, 33, arrived in Ithaca with a doctorate from Harvard, where he studied under famed evo- lutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould, and a teaching stint at the Uni- versity of South Florida, to become "administrator, editor, curator, and fund-raiser" of the PRI. "I've always wanted to have my own museum," he says. "So now I do." Allmon hopes to make the PRI an institution of even greater scholarship and public ser- vice, as its founder Gilbert D. Harris intended. Harris was a Cornell alumnus, Class of 1886, and a professor of pa- leontology on East Hill from 1894 to 1933.

iLLiAN SHARP '85 HAD a big couple of weeks last fall. First she became an American citizen, and then she became America's best woman run- and-shooter. You know what American citizenship is. But what about this run-and-shoot thing? Well, running and shooting is something winter biathletes—those who ski and shoot—do when the snow melts. Confused? Don't worry. All will be- come clear. But know this: Those two seemingly disparate events that Sharp participated in last fall just might inter- sect in February on a deep snowpack in

The trials for the American ski-and-shoot team were held in mid- December in Anchorage, too late for the results to be included in this story. But whether or not Sharp makes the team is beside the point. In an era when some athletes won't play games unless the cola they endorse is being served in the stands and the athletic shoes they flog are on their feet, Sharp, who is self-taught, self-financed and self-motivated in a sport mostly unknown is a perfect illustration of what Olympic ideals are all about.

HE IS A STRONG, LEAN, FIVE-FOOT-EIGHT WONDER of an athlete. Gill Sharp is the ' She is so fit that she has an amazing ability to keep her breathing and pulse rate low even when she runs (or skis). This is a requisite talent prototype of the talented in the twin sports she has chosen as her in-season and off-season disci- plines. In-season she is one of the nation's top-ten biathletes, a talented but on-the-bubble two-decade veteran of cross-country skiing who has improved her riflery sufficiently in the last four years to become a contender for the six-mem- ber women's Olympic team. athlete in a minor Off-season she has risen to the very top of a pastime that was born as a training routine for biathletes but that has, in recent years, become a Olympic sport. She doesn't serious competition in its own right. In the run-and-shoot races that Gill enters, she sprints through a cross-country course and then, upon enter- have a personal coach, ing the rifle range, shoots at tiny targets with her .22-caliber rifle. Credits are piled up for speed, and penalties are meted out for missed targets. It's she doesn't have a trust just like biathlon, without snow and stocking caps and rosy cheeks. Over the last couple of summers Gill won a few run-and-shoots in upstate New York, but she wasn't figuring to win when she traveled to fund, she doesn't have the nationals in State College, Pennsylvania. "At a New York race I had just shot clean (hit all the targets) for the first time ever in competition, a guaranteed hotel winter or summer, so that gave me some confidence," says Sharp. "Still— winning the nationals? I hadn't figured on winning the nationals at any- reservation in Norway. thing, ever." But she was fast afoot that day, and although her nearest rival shot more accurately, when the smoke had cleared Gill was four seconds ahead. She received a check for $1,100 and the kind of curious What she does have is cable-age celebrity that comes from a Tuesday, 3:30 p.m. tape-delay ap- pearance on ESPN. (Her friends set their VCRs; Gill and her boyfriend, a full-time job, and a Chris O'Connor, true granola-crunchers, have no TV.) Considering that Sharp has Olympic aspirations, this may all sound part-time one, too. rather low rent, kind of hand-to-mouth: winning championships in prac- tice sports, competing mostly around Ithaca, where she lives, hoping to save money here and there so as to be able to compete in future races. Let it be pointed out now: it is rather low-rent, kind of hand-to-mouth. Gill Sharp is the prototype of the talented but on-the-bubble athlete in a minor Olympic sport. She doesn't have a personal coach, she doesn't have a trust fund, she doesn't have a guaranteed hotel reservation in Norway. What she does have is a full-time job, and a part-time one, too. (She's a full-time firefighter in Ithaca and a volunteer in Varna, but we'll get to that soon enough.) She has bills to pay, two dogs to feed and training to squeeze in when she can. And she has dreams. Those dreams and her talent have carried her to a level where, to us, she looks like a star. This is as it should be: she shines at what she does. But it's a hard go for her to maintain this level of brilliance, and it's no certainty that the level is high enough, anyway. Yet she runs on, and skis on, and shoots on, riding her mountain bike the five-odd miles to (and five-odd miles from) the fire station most days, up before dawn some days, up late at night others, practicing in her bed-

CORNELL MAGAZINE 24 room—dry-firing her rifle at little targets she has drawn on the wall. Why? Because, believe it or not, she loves it. She loves the doing of it. It is not work to her, and never has been. "I can be lazy," she says, "but at the same time, ever since I was little, I've always just liked to go."

ILL WAS BORN IN LONDON, but her parents (her father is Pro- fessor Geoffrey Sharp, chair of the Vet college's pharmacology department) emigrated to America when she was 1. The Sharps settled in Newton, near Boston. She went to Newton South High and was a good athlete, as were her younger siblings. "We were an active family," Sharp says as she sips a—well, it's a Sharp, that non-alcoholic brew from Miller. She is sitting at a large blond-wood table in the cedar-sided home that she and Chris are just finishing up—a floor still needs putting in, and there's some painting yet to be done. Their home is nestled off Sapsucker Woods Road, up by the Laboratory of Ornithology. Theirs is a rural setting. The only house they can see from here belongs to Chris's mother (the O'Connors have owned this land for years; they gave this road its evoca- tive name) and the surrounding forest is a Cornell-owned preserve. So it will remain undeveloped for their lifetimes, and this gives Gill and Chris great cheer. These two need to live in a place like this. Chris is bringing soup and bagels while Gill chats with a guest. The dogs, having been run ragged by Gill that morning on a wooded trail, are sleeping on the porch. The gigantic Alaska Stoker coal stove isn't needed on this gray day, but the warmth from the soup is welcome. "We were always doing things outdoors," Gill says. "I think I skied downhill before cross-country, somewhere up in New Hampshire. And then we some- times had cross-country sessions at the high school. I can remember thrashing around on the football field, or on a local golf course." Gill was immediately at home on the skinny skis, and x-c became her winter rec- reation; she hasn't downhilled for years. "Dad took a sabbatical in Swit- zerland in 1973, and that was truly great. My skiing blossomed. "I was accepted at Cornell about the same time Dad was looking for another job," Gill continues. "He took a position with the university, and I got free tuition. So'd my sister (Jennifer Sharp '86) and my brother (David Sharp '88). Dad's been at Cornell ever since." At Cornell Gill found the hills that she needed to push her and strengthen her. At the Tug Hill plateau, a two-hour drive north of Ithaca, she found the snow she required to become a demon skier. "There's a weird condi- tion up there, some kind of lake-effect with the winds off Lake Ontario," she says. "I swear, they get a lot of snow. It's phenomenal. I go there still." She was a four-year star of the Cornell cross-coun- try ski team at a time when it became the country's best Division II squad, and then made the leap to Division I. "We weren't about to beat the kids from Dartmouth and Vermont," says Gill, "but just to ski against them—to see what that level was like—it was tremendous for us." Gill is, it should be noted right now, exceedingly modest. When she uttered the above quotation, Chris, who knows her well—who has, in fact, known her day-in and day- out for nine years—said something that sounded like "Oh, tchah." Chris knows that Gill never talks about her own abilities, always downplays her successes. If Chris hadn't been home on the afternoon Gill

ATHLETE If Chris hadn't been there to say, "Tell him about State College, when you won the nationals" and "Tell him about the rescue," then Gill wouldn't have uttered a word about State College or the rescue. Why bring this up now? Because Gill has just claimed that seeing the kids from Dartmouth and Vermont—both dyed-in-the-boiled-wool ski •TV TC Sharp can hit schools—filled her with awe. That's probably a little bit true and a large bit baloney. Something inside Gill probably said, "Hey, wow, they're pretty halΓ-dollar sized targets good!" But something else, something louder, said "I can do that!" at 50 meters. Nothing The louder voice was right. but 20-20 here.

She drives Engine Number One for retractable and extra rounds Ithaca and works at Varna two or three nights a week. As it happens, Chris is chief of Varna's force. are stored in the stock. "As soon as I joined Varna, I knew I loved the fire department," says Gill. She is absolutely certain that firefighting is her now and forever career. Chris, who the previous night had handled a drunk-driving colli- sion and therefore is only marginally awake during this interview, says he loves firefighting too. He looks less certain than Gill does. So as we see, the year off from Cornell did Gill a world of good: it set her on courses that she is following still. Upon graduating, she only trained harder, and worked harder at becoming an expert firefighter. Three years ago, Gill got her gun. "I had seen biathlon when I was cross-country skiing at West Yellowstone," she says. "I thought it looked like fun." Ah, but as anyone who knows the sport could tell you, what looks like fun on the surface—skiin' around with a gun slung on your back, schussin' in and takin' a few pot shots, skiin' off again with everyone hollerin' and yelpin' at ya—is absolute athletic hell-on-wheels from the inside. And why is this? Because humans were made to shoot while calm and col- lected, ready and relaxed. And high-speed skiing leaves humans whooped. There are three women's biathlon competitions during the Olympic fortnight: a 15 kilometer race, a sprint over 7.5 kilometers and a 7.5- kilometer relay. The skiers travel a tough, hilly track as fast as they can, then approach the shooting range and try to coax themselves into calm- SKIS winter Biathlon races ness. During a race, a competitor's heart rate can zoom to 175 beats a minute, and no one can hit small targets 50 meters away with a heart use the freestyle technique of pumping at 175 beats a minute. "In order to shoot accurately the skier has to enter the shooting area, relax and focus on the target," says Nordic cross country skiing, also skiing commentator Paul Robbins, who has reported on several Olym- known as skating.

She was good at it right off, and got better quickly: she was ninth in the 1992 Olympic tip-to-tail. Trials and had two fifth-place finishes in last year's national championship.

JANUARY/FEBRUARY 1994 27 But Sharp had not picked a pastime that was easy to master while living in Ithaca. There's no great biathlon fraternity at Cornell, and since she isn't in the military— Olympic medals are always being handed out to Eastern Europeans with military ranks in front of their names—Sharp was left get- ting advice down at the firehouse. "One of the guys who hunts deer, his name is Sarge, kept telling me Γd never learn to shoot un- less I tied a five-pound bag of sugar to the end of the rifle during practice, to learn to hold the gun steady," says Gill, smiling. "I stuck to just practicing with my dots on the wall." Not that she shoots at the wall: "dry- firing" involves taking aim at a spot on the wall and pulling the trigger of an unloaded gun. (Gun nuts, relax: she removes the fir- ing pin before dry-firing, so wear-and-tear are minimized.) And this worked. "It's really impressive what she's done, especially the way she's done it," says John Morton, the U.S. Olym- pic Biathlon Team's manager. "She's defi- nitely in the hunt to make the team. She's up there, working on her own, with no full- time coach, doing it purely for the love of the sport. She finds this individual motiva- tion. She's pretty unique. Most of our kids take part-time jobs, painting a house or wait- ing tables. And then when the snow flies they pack up and head for West Yellowstone to train 'round the clock.

But then, all of Ithaca owes her, for hard as Gill has worked to be- come a top-flight biathlete, so too has she worked to turn herself into an expert firefighter. "Tell him about the rescue," Chris suggests between spoonfuls of soup. "Well, it wasn't just me," Gill demurs. "It was a team thing, and ... ." You couldn't pull This is going nowhere—you couldn't pull braggadocio from this woman with pliers—and so Chris relates the tale. "Most of the calls for Ithaca braggadocio from this and Varna aren't fires," he explains. "They're medical calls, or car acci- dents." And, rarely, emergency rescues of hikers stuck in the gorges. woman with pliers. Gill has served on a number of the extractions. "She's the best climber of all of us," says Chris. "And she's always the one to go in for the pick-off because she has such a great strength-to-weight ratio." Perhaps the most dramatic incident was the one that is known on Sapsucker Woods Road as "the rescue." Three years ago a local man on his lunch break wandered into Six Mile Creek gorge, started climbing up the shaley side wall of the gorge and found that he was stuck but good. His pals ran downtown and came shouting into the station. Gill had just come back from a mountain-rescue course, so this was a good opportu- nity to test her new skills. She was the one who "went in." She deftly applied ropes and a clip to the man and escorted him 75 feet down to the creek bed. "It was just a question of getting a harness on him really," she

CORNELL MAGAZINE 28 says. "It was made a little tougher because, well, he wasn't too pleas- ant—he was kind of a strange guy, and I guess he was pretty embar- rassed. Γll tell you, I got an awful case of poison ivy that day—it was all around where this guy was standing." The rescue made it onto the front page of The Ithaca Journal, so even before Gill was known in the community as a biathlete or a national- champ run-and-shootist, she was known as a hero. She was, about town, "that hero firefighting lady."

But you look at Gill Sharp and you see this full life she leads, and you can and more races, arrive at no other conclusion. She's a winner already. You ask her, for instance, if she'll stop biathloning if she doesn't make it to Norway, and even in biathlon. she looks at you quizzically. "Oh no," she says mildly, not wanting to offend, not wanting to say, "What a stupid question!" "Oh no, not at all. We're having more and more races, even in biathlon. I'll do this for years." I'll do this for years." And then you picture that: A fit 60-year-old firefighter, going out with her gun and skis on weekends, or maybe just with her dogs, running easily And then you picture that: through the woods around Ithaca. By then, the Olympics will seem en- tirely incidental, the '94 Lillehammer Games just a fading memory. A fit 60-year-old Ah, yes: I wanted to mention how she runs with her dogs. There was a passage earlier in this piece that read: "Chris brings soup and bagels while Gill chats with her guest; the dogs, having been run ragged by Gill firefighter, going out with that morning on a woods trail, are sleeping on the porch." Well, the guest was run ragged that morning as well. (He too would her gun and skis on have been sleeping on the porch, if he hadn't had work to do.) Gill, her shepherd-crosses Tessa and Timmy, Gill's former Cornell weekends, or maybe just x-c teammate Yvette DeBoer '85 (who is an absolute killer on trail runs, even beating Gill sometimes on the Greater-Ithaca circuit), a friend of with her dogs, running Gill's and Yvette's named Chris Rossiter, plus the guest, had all set off at 10 a.m. on a 9.4-mile loop over hill and dale, through brush and backwa- ter, up and down and all around.

Gill, on the other hand, was at ease all the way. She was taking pains to be the perfect host, mincing her stride, keeping up conversation with her guest. Her dogs were forever doubling back, sprinting up to see where Yvette and Chris had gone, then zooming back to check on the others. The dogs must have been wondering: why's Gill running like such a sluggo today? At run's end, Gill took water and ate a banana, perhaps to make the broken guest feel a bit better, less inadequate. She needn't have done these kind things, although they were certainly in her nature. She needn't have bothered because as the guest had gone through the woods—watching Gill stride purposefully but effortlessly between the trees, flying along, never breathing hard and barely seeming to make an effort—the guest did not think to himself, I'm a slovenly mess. He thought instead, as he saw Gill run—as you would too, if you saw Gill run—here's someone special. Olympics or not. H

The house is modern, has lots of glass and natural wood, sits on a hill that overlooks rolling hills and farmland and is built on a plot of land on the east end of Beck Farms in Freeville, New York. Russ, his wife, Amy German Beck '87, and Tyler are here on the land to stay. Tyler raises the bottle of milk in his hands, takes the nipple into his mouth and begins to drink. The milk is cold and is loaded with protein, calcium, vita- mins A and C, potassium, thiamine and riboflavin. "Okay, Tyler," Russ Beck says to his son. "Drink it all up." Tyler continues

The price of milk is set in various complicated ways and de- pends on the market, the weather and other things, and can fluctuate. The current price is about $13 for 100 pounds of milk. The dairy barn is long and low, made of concrete, wood frame and metal siding, and looks more like an enormous ware- house than a traditional barn. It's a giant rectangle that measures 264 feet by 100 feet, with a second, smaller rectangle form- ing a "T" with the larger part of the barn. The smaller part houses the offices and bathrooms, the medical room where drugs are stored, the hospital area where sick cows are kept and treated, computers, the huge stainless steel storage tank for milk and the milking parlor.

The floor of the barn is covered with a sea of ma- nure and urine; a cow produces about 100 pounds of waste each day. Giant V-shaped scrapers are constantly pulled by cables down the length of the stall area, drag- ging the manure into pits in the middle of the barn's floors. The manure is then pumped into tankers, and spread on the fields as fertilizer. Beck goes up and down the stalls with his clip- board and paintstick.

Martin Beck was born in Aurora, New York in 1898, grew up on a small general farm there and graduated from Cornell in 1920. He came to the farm in the town of Dryden, two miles northeast of the village of Freeville, in 1921, when the farm was owned by Carl E. Ladd, a farm management professor and later dean of what was then called the College of Agriculture. Beck "share rented" for the first few years, which meant he gave part of the crops to Ladd, "cash rented" for a few more years and bought the original 185-acre farm in 1929. It panded to 100 cows; by 1970 they had 140 cows and was located on the south side of Fall Creek and they were able to slowly build to 160 cows by 1985 by Malloryville Roads.

WORTH A MILLION? JOE AND CAROL REICH HAVE SHOWN THAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAN WORK, IF WE WORK TOGETHER.

In 1989, Joseph '55 and Carol Friedman Reich '57 approached New York City public school officials with a simple proposition, one that would seem to be every school administrator's dream: would the city be will- ing to take a building and $1 million with which to establish a new school in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood? The answer was an amazing and resounding "No." Joe, a retired investment banker, and Carol, a developmental psychologist, were disappointed, but somehow not surprised by the answer. "We made our initial inquiries with relatively low-level people," Joe remembers. "They had never had someone come to them and ask such a question, and they weren 't equipped to really think about such a request. They didn't know what to do." The Reichs are a quiet and unassuming couple, but few people get in the position to give away a building and a million dollars by taking no for an answer.
