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 toward the end of the school year .

E . tRAY Rc9RiFRN � w000N1 (rJJ eaMAR • _8_ to 1990, Tompkins County shifted its funding of waste disposal programs away from the property tax and began a pay-as-you-throw system. The combination of per-4on disposal fees and residential tagging of trash at the curb has provided a strong incentive for waste reduction. Many municipalities have reported a 30-50%reduction in waste since the program began. There is no doubt that user flees 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 anaf mandates have shaped some of our programs. Recycling is mandatory in New York State and a variety of recyclinf 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-disposal activities bear fixed,annual cost which will be met through a different revenue source than user fees. During the last six months,the Tompkins County Board of Representatives has been consic ering various ways to pay for the County's solid waste and recycling programs, while still presctvfr' 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 Wort-disposal related coats. We hope the sample questions and answers below will help you understand how the 1993 solid waste annual fee vvill work. How does the annual solid waste fee differ (based upon a variety of factors),and govern from the way I currently pay for disposall ment properties will be exempt from the fee order to avoid a double taxation.

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 ulanning 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 east eliminating much work. Once again, you are personally invited to join us for the following: for info. call Sunday School Sunday 10: 00a.m. *Worship Sunday 11: 00a.m. 272-6518 *Bible Study Wednesday 6: 30p.m. Choir Practice Thursday 6: 30p.m.273-5682 Young Adults Thursday 7 : 45p.m. Youth Group 273-8268 * Child Care arovided ENFIELD FOOD DISTRIBUTION 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.

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 snorts 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 / live 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 up 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 Roger Brown and I like you and I want you to be my sweetheart today - you're the right girl for me In Enfield he met her.. his home.. his foundation place Beveriy 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 June on the twenty first day in the year fifty eight They stayed right in Enfield - to them it was heaven's 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 4 Looking back at the many years that we knew him and loved him Hard to imagine the future without him. Less bright, even dim One thing for certain .. no matter the missing.. no matter the pain What we feel is our loss ,.�.,., we ,know is Heaven's gain! \Danny Marvin Our community has lost two of its pillars since our last publication. Nina Crandal Linton and T. Roger Brown. The following was submitted as a memorial to Roger who represented both the humanness and the goodness in all of us .

The Town Board continues to focus on keeping costs under control. I have appreciated the support in this effort from town employees as well as from those providing youth services and fire protection. Congratulations to John Oechslin on his successful Eagle Scout project which he has managed to complete at no cost to the town. I'm sure those using the bus shelter at the intersection of rts. 327 and 79 also thank him. Good luck in- college this fall. If you approach it in the same determined fashion you have used dealing with the bus stop shelter, you've got it made.
