Costumed ES&H employees celebrate another safe year
ES&H associate section head Tim Miller poses as "Safe T," a fictionalized rapper, with Brian Svazas, MD as a human cannon ball; and Jim Priest, dressed as a pope. Miller was the winner of the section's costume contest.
Members of ES&H disguised as the pope, a proctologist, a scarecrow and more, gathered for their annual picnic on Halloween.
"It's important to celebrate safety and success as a team," said ES&H Section Head Bill Griffing. "That's why we invited the ES&H professionals who are employed by the line organizations to join us this year. We appreciate the significant role they play in helping us achieve success in ES&H at Fermilab."
An estimated 30 people from ES&H and those who work closely with the department celebrated a solid safety record, a successful shutdown and Halloween. Associate ES&H section Head Tim Miller won the division's costume contest. He dressed as a fictional rap artist, "Safe T," complete with a large pendant and backwards baseball hat.
"There have been no major accidents this year," Griffing said. "In fact, it's hard to remember the last time there was a major accident here." Griffing credits the lab's success in reducing accidents and injuries to great leadership in management and to employee commitment and participation in ES&H activities. "Our safety culture has certainly improved," he added.

In Memoriam: Glen Goderre
 |
| Glen Goderre |
Glenn Goderre, computer scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and former Fermilab employee, died Saturday, Oct. 27.
Goderre was born in Gardner, Mass. He came from a very modest background and was diagnosed late with dyslexia. Although he was unable to read until the third grade, he eventually graduated magna cum laude from Lowell University in 1975. He continued on to earn a doctorate in physics from Northeastern University in 1986. His academic career took him to the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and then to the Texas Accelerator Center in The Woodlands, Texas.
Goderre's research was published in Scientific American. He went on to work in the Accelerator Division at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, where he spent 12 years.
He was most recently at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
A celebration of life will be held Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at Poppy Ridge Golf Course, 4280 Greenville Road in Livermore.
A scholarship fund has been established in Goderre's name to assist students who are interested in studying physics. Donations may be made to the Glenn Goderre Scholarship Fund, c/o P.O. Box 1245; Tracy CA 95378.

Committed to committees
Shin-ichi Kurokawa (left), former ILCSC chair, introduces his successor, Enzo Iarocci (centre) and the ILC Research Director Sakue Yamada (right).
As the new chair of the ILC Steering Committee (ILCSC), Enzo Iarocci will have to do a lot of negotiating. Not only with the other members of the Steering Committee or the ILC community, but most of all with his wife. "In this new position I will have to probably travel even more than I thought," he says, "and my wife is less than pleased about that..."
During last week's ALCPG meeting, Iarocci officially replaced Shin-ichi Kurokawa, who had been chairman for the last two years. The ceremonial hand over occurred on the very same day that the new Research Director Sakue Yamada took up office as well.

University of Minnesota receives $45.6 million from Department of Energy to build new lab in northern Minnesota
From University of Minnesota press release, Oct. 31, 2007
The University of Minnesota announced today that the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science has awarded a $45.6 million, four-year cooperative agreement to the university's School of Physics and Astronomy to build a new international physics laboratory near the Ash River, about 40 miles southeast of International Falls, Minn.
Building the lab is the first step in an estimated $250 million project to be funded by the Department of Energy to further study neutrinos, fundamental building blocks of matter that can help researchers discover how the Universe was formed and how it will develop in the future.

Change your clock, change your battery
Each year many home fires, injuries and deaths could be avoided if smoke
detectors were properly maintained. One of the main problems is missing
or dead batteries. The Fermilab Fire Department would like to remind you
when you change your clock to please change the battery in your smoke
detector. Also, check your CO detector at this time as well. If you have
any questions, please call the Fermilab Fire Department at x3428.
