UNITED V► of Tompkins Cc Agency On 1/28/93 the Enfield Community Council held its annual meeting. The slate of officers were presented by nominations chair Carol Barriere and last years officers were unaminously reelected. The officers are: Rosemary Pellegrino - President David Owens - Vice President Marnie Kirchgessner - Treasurer Debbie Traunstein - Secretary Open meetings will continue to be held the 4th Thursday bi-monthly (March 25, May 27, July 29, September 23 and November 18 (changed because of Thanksgiving) at the Community Building. Your attendance and input is always welcome. On March 1, the Enfield Community Council was recognized along with other youth commissions and councils by the Tompkins County Youth Board and Bureau. Carol Barriere, Helen Jackson, David Owens, Rhonda Connors, and �Iarnie Kirchgessner were in attendance to represent the Council. '•tarnie accepted the award on behalf of the Community Council. The certificate of appreciation which states the Tompkins County Youth 3oard and Bureau with deep gratitude and high esteem recognize the dedicated volunteers who have creatively and significantly improved the quality of life for children and _youth in Tompkins County and therefore award this Certificate of Appreciation to the Enfield Community Council. The Community Council has grown over the years but the founding mission of the organization to provide equal opportunity to the youth of Enfield remains the guiding tennent. The Community Council works because of the support and cooperation of all elements of the community. It is with renewed energy we face the future. The overall financial health of the Community Council remains strong. Last years fund raising efforts (primarily because of all of the hard :cork of Helen Smith and generosity of Jane Affolter) surpassed all pre- vious years. As a result, in December the Community Council was able to make donations to the Enfield Fire Company for pond repair (ferret damage to the dike would have put the swim program at risk) and make a memorial donation to the Enfield School Library recognizing and commen- orating Nina Crandall Linton who was such an inspiration to all who knew her. Nina had an active hand in production of the quilt donated each year by the Senior Citizens and one of our major fund raisers. We will sorely miss her gentle goodness! Our Enrichment program runs on Tuesdays at the Enfield School from 2PM until 5PM. See the scheduie oelow. ?music is again being run by Karta Iglesias. It is basically a chorus with a strone emphasis on learning_ the technique of singing but there will also be some exposure to various musical instruments.

They are looking at various plays and hope to put on a performance towardthe end of the school year.

The combination of per -ton disposal fees and residential tagging of trash at the curb has provided a strung incentive for waste reduction. Many municipalities have reported a 30-50% reduction in waste since the program began. There is no doubt that user fees have succeeded in reducing disposal -related costs in Tompkins County. Yet, many of the costs of solid waste management are not disposal -related. Along with the County's cornmitment to an environmentally responsible policy, state goals and mandates have shaped some of our programs. Recycling is mandatory in New York State and a variety of recydinf services are provided to the community. We must also properly close old landfills and monitor the. environmental impacts on a long-term basis. These non-disposai activities bear fixed, annual cosi which will be met through a different revenue source than user fees. During the last six months, the Tompkins County Board of R,;. ,. ,,,,,,a,ives has been consid- ering various ways to pay for the County s solid waste and recycling programs, while still preservir the waste reduction incentives of the disposal and trashtag user fees. Until a long term funding method has been chosen, the Board has proposed an interim annual fee to cover non -disposal related casts. We hope the sample questions and answers below will help you understand how the 1993 solid wane annual fee will work How does the annual solid waste fee differ from the way I currently pay for disposal? You purchase trashtags if you dispose of trash at the curb, you pay a weight -based fee if you use a dumpster, or you pay a per -ton fee if you deliver your trash directly to the County's Hillview Road transfer station. None of this wi II change. What has changed is—as of January 1,1993—recycling and landfill closure costs were removed from your trashtag and disposal fees, reducing the disposal fee to $95 per ton or 95C per 20 Ib. trashtag. All the costs of recycling and landfill closure services will be billed to property owners in the County as an annual solid waste fee. Will everyone pay the same amount? Proportionally, yes. The County has divided the property base into seven categories: three residential, three commercial/institutional, and one exempt. One and two unit residences will be billed a flat fee per living unit, multi -unit residences and commercial properties will be billed on a square footage basis, colleges and universities will be billed a predetermined fee (based upon a variety of factors), and govern ment properties will be exempt from the fee order to avoid a double taxation. See the rat( schedule on opposite side. What if an apartment is located over a rets; store, for example?" Does the property own, pay a flat fee or by the square foot? All floor space in a commercial property wii be calculated on a square footage basis— including apartments. Row storage space an certain basement storage areas will not be included in the fee. How is the annual fee going to be billed? In March, all property owners will be mailer notice listing the amount of the annual solic waste fee assigned to their property and the information upon which it is based. Record, from the County Assessment Office are beir used to determine the category, use, numbe of living units and floor area of each proper In August, a bill for the annual fee will be s( to all property owners.

Our church family is growing at a rapid pace for which we are all very grateful. It is an exciting time for us. please come and experience the support and fellowship of our church as we look forward to the following special events. The church baptismal was rediscovered in our 176 year old church during the installation of a new furnace. It had been closed over at least 75 years but from the underside seemed sound. When the flooring was cut away by Dave and Chet Owens, they discovered a solid cedar baptismal untouched by time. We have around 20 people requesting to be baptized and are planning to once again have the service in the church during March or April. Speculating as to why the baptismal was ever covered over, hauling 700 or so gallons of water 100 years ago must have been fun. Then, of course, heating it would be impossible. The local streams have been used in the past eliminating much work. Once again, you are personally invited to join us for the followinc: Sunday School *Worship *Bible Study Choir Practice Young Adults Youth Group * Child Care provided ENFIELD FOOD DISTRIBUTION Sunday 10:00a.m, for info. call Sunday 11:O0a.m. 272-6518 Wednesday 6:30p.m. Thursday 6:30p.m.273-5682 Thursday 7:45p.m. 273-8268 Located at the Enfield Community Building in Enfield Center, the distribution serves baked goods and produce on the first Monday of each month at 3:30-5:OOn.m.

If you are out of food, come to the Community Building on Saturdays between 9:00-3:00 for emergency service. Ms. Pellegrino, Please accept my sincere thank you for the Enfield Community Council's generous contribution to the Nina Crandall Linton Memorial Fund. Your gift will help expand the Enfield Elementary School Library which in turn will provide our students with information and enjoyment.

Jenkins Enfield Elementary School -12- T _ ROGER BROWL3 22 November 1921 - 25 January 1993 At Applegate corners in the year of nineteen twenty one a sun shiny day in November brought the Browns their second son Yes, in that pretty white farm house T. Roger was born On the farm ... where he'd learn about cows and hay and corn As a young lad he learned to love baseball.. and other sports too was it the team effort that pleased or was it how well he could do? Whether baseball, or horseshoes, or bowling be the test Even pinochle cards..He'd study it through and give it his best Always robust and full -hearted - he'd inspire the rest Not just a good sport - but a good man too... a patriot to the core Uncle Sam called and he enlisted - not asking why or what for His country in danger he donned the brown buckled boot And went off to war, taught to fight and ready to shoot Those were terrible days in what they called World War II with many sleepless nights after the first battle or two like so many war heroes.. Roger kept all the battles inside so much blood - so much gore - so much pain did he hide The war seemed so far from that Enfield place he called home he never forgot .. he returned .. not wanting to roam Back to his roots.. Mom and Dad and Brother Nelson he'd find Sentimental'. for sure Roger was ..and thems the best kind He got back into baseball and other interests galore lira the barber shop quartet... even more friends in store much of a ham he could be when he thought it was best and happy, so happy that he'd infect all the rest with smiles of joy... with exuberant zest it was hard to know him and not love him this T. Roger Brown ..... in his Enfield town The telling of stories.. his humor .. his tales He'd embellish them all ..even sardines could become whales Whv_ not crocodiles in the basement or talk of an elf why not dancing gophers.... or hummingbirds on the shelf'. and candy hidden behind, in. or on top of some place always spreading happiness..... a smile on his face For four or five years he spread himself thin Enfield and Ithaca, Tompkins county and all the area within He worked at Cornell University .. up there on East hill in safety division - an inspector of good repute if you will Then, while looking, yes searching for that girl he would wed when he found her in the Grange Hall he near lost his head Mashed potatoes he asked for just to see her uo near Sitting next to his crony, Ernie Laue, with some fear Yes, it took some doing there at that dish to pass meal why, what would he he say to this girl that to him did appeal well, Roger just sat there when she brought him the plate bashful, silent and oh so nervous.. such was his fate Seemed natural he'd find a lass with dark hair.. pretty and tall a horse soldier's daughter ... born in the Fall but, 'twas not 'til five years later.. in October that he'd say I'm Roeer Brown and I like you and I want you to be my sweetneart today - you're the right girl for me In Enfield he met her.. his home.. his foundation place Beveriv Janet Henderson her name - a smile on her face Now Roger did court her with the strangest of cars to start them sometimes he'd use pliers.. out under the stars He soon fell in love and asked for her hand an old fashionea wedding in Enfield they planned Married in .lune on the twenty first day in the year fifty eight They stayea right in Enfield - to them it was heavens gate -13- Time would go on .. and a family they'd soon get first a daughter named Bridgette, then a boy they called Brett All active in the Grange and other community pursuits worshipping together in the place of their roots It was the old Baptist Church in Enfield Center where Roger was known by children as friendly and fun.. a "candy man" of their own Roger did much more than just work in those halls on the hill He served as Judge Brown - a Justice of the Peace if you will Yes, he meted out justice from his home, married people and more A huge garden and a.large lawn .. nothing would bore Now the children do remember the mornings in their early upbringing Daddy'd stand at the bottom of the stairs and he'd holler out loud "wake up children, wake-up .......the birdies are singing" but, sometimes that first call left their minds in a cloud and Daddy would have to holler again, just as loud as he dare "Wake up, wake up children, vos ist lost up there?" and then down they'd come.. knowing cold water was next! Better get down to breakfast than their father test Fond of his children.. and proud as can be.. yes, that I know he loved special things, like long nature walks with his family in tow children and grandchildren shared his love of life and what's more they loved stories he'd tell them - the dreams and the lore Looking back at the many years that we knew him and loved him Hard to imagine the future without him.

Some will be remembered For the fortunes of their fame, And some will be remembered For the naming of a name, But you will be remembered As the heart remembers spring, As the mind remembers beauty, And the soul each lovely thing. You have been skies of April, And fragrant breath of May, And like the season's coming, Warm -spirited and gay. You have given freely Of the beauty of your heart, And you have made of friendship Not a gesture but an art. You have been as selfless In the gracious things you do As the sun that shares its kisses, As the night that shares its dew. You have planted roses In lives that lav so bare, You have sown encouragement To those who knew despair. By your spirit's inter beauty In every lovely thing, You will be remembered As the heart remembers spring!
