Home My WebLink About2013 Enfield-Community-Currents-Fall-2013 (2).pdf1 Enfield Community Currents News from and for the Community 2013 October - December Free "The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools." - Henry Beston, Northern Farm Welcome Fall - I do mean that, although it’s a little early for the annual argument at our house about when it’s time for the first fire in the woodstove. Still, as we go into the season of thankfulness, we are grateful for all that we have, and are especially mindful of those community members who lost so much in the recent flooding. From flooded basements and the resulting loss of household appliances and irreplaceable memories—consider what’s stored in your own basement—to lost foundation walls, driveways and yards. This is the type of event that makes us appreciate the volunteers in our community; in this case, emergency responders left their homes and families at 9:00 p.m. one evening and didn’t return until the next morning. Yes, that’s quite a physical challenge—but bringing help to those in most desperate need is also very satisfying. There are many ways volunteers serve at a time like this, from going to the fire station and preparing hot coffee and cold sandwiches to be delivered to the scene to directing traffic to helping with equipment on scene to actually going into a building. Are you up for any of it? Call the Fire Department for more information: 272-8757. Of course, there are many ways to serve your community, and a glance through this newsletter will offer many possibilities: the Food Pantry, the PTA, the Grange, and the Community Council, to name a few. Still, I know it can be hard to carve out some extra time for a regular commitment—sometimes it feels like we aren’t even going to make it through the week with everything we absolutely have to do. But maybe you can help out once in while? The PTA looks for volunteers for their annual Book Fair, and that actually feels like a break, sitting for a couple hours and watching children select books, then helping them figure out what they owe; call Cortney Bailey, 279 -4702. Just around the corner is the annual Harvest Festival, where many hands literally make light work—how about helping out at the Silent Auction for a couple hours, or in the Game Tent? Especially if you're coming anyway, why not help out a little? Call Cortney for that, too. You can even put a skill to work, or learn a new one with a little help now and again with the annual quilt raffle project; call JoAnne Huddle, 272 -7115. Don’t for get the green stuff is a way to help, too. Got an extra ten bucks? Join the PTA—you don’t have to have children at the elementary school. Is there even more extra money floating around in your bank account? How about a donation to the Food Pantry? Or instead of cash, how about things just taking up space at your place? The Grange is looking for at least 20 folding chairs—they don’t have to be new, just in good, working condition. Wrapping up, some congratulations are in order. In September, three Grange members completed degree work—congratulations to Peggy Hubbell and Sandra & George Trutt for successfully completed degrees 1-5. You can get more details about what this means on page five. Also thanks to the Grange for making space available for a local Ping Pong Club—don’t forget the Grange when you need a placer bigger than your living room for a gathering! Until next time, keep safe, take care of your neighbor, and have a wonderful holiday season. - Debbie Teeter This newsletter sponsored by the Enfield Community Council (ECC) Cortney Bailey, President 279-4702 JoAnn Huddle, Vice President 272-7115 Sue Howser, Secretary 342-6315 Carla Trenchard, Treasurer 342-1406 Debbie Teeter, Newsletter Editor 277-4547 What’s Inside… From the Editor 1 Harvest Festival 2 2013 Quilt Project 3 Enfield Connects 3 Transportation Options 3 Enfield PTA 4 Enfield Summer Camp 4 Town Historian 5 Enfield Valley Grange 5 Enfield Vol Fire Co 6 Enfield Food Pantry 6 ECC Annual Fund 7 Area Churches: 7 Agape Bible Church Enfield Baptist Fellowship Jacksonville United Methodist Living Water Christian Fellowship T’burg Pumpkin Fest 7 Old-Time Square Dance Night 7 Calendar of Events 8 Regularly Scheduled Meetings 8 —————————————— Omissions from this publication are not intended The next issue will be compiled in December for publication at the end of that month.

Warmly, JoAnn Huddle, ECC Vice President Sustainability in Transportation: taking steps together with Get Your Green Back Share your steps taken in saving energy consumption in transportation & inspire others with your stories! We are increasingly aware of the multiple costs of using fossil fuel for ourselves & our environment. From AAA, the average total financial cost of running a small sedan car such as a Ford Focus is $15,000.00 per year. While this calculation includes costs such as registration, insurance & maintenance, it doesn’t include community impact from carbon emissions & road repair. Check your car costs at: http://ccetompkins.org/community/way2go/your-car-costs. Every change that you have made to decrease your energy usage in transportation is cause for a celebration. So share your ideas & action steps taken with other folks by contacting GYGB at: http://getyourgreenbacktompkins.org/ and you may find an inspiring story to find a step to take and save money & energy in other areas of your household budget!

Now Way2Go has Transportation Ambassadors available to assist you in learning how to ride the TCAT bus, Gadabout or use Ithaca Carshare! A volunteer will work with you to show you the ropes of riding the bus, Gadabout or using Ithaca Carshare. It’s an easy way to learn and with an ambassador along to help, the stress is reduced. An ambassador will help plan a free trip on the TCAT bus for you or a group of friends to learn the ins and outs of the system.

Summer Camp 2012 I know each year I make a comment about “how fast” time goes during our summer camp season, but this year it flew by incredibly fast. Felt like we were just starting and then we were saying good-bye. Anyway, let me fill you in on what were the camp “happenings”: · We had 92 campers and 15 Counselors-in-Training (14-15 year olds). · Campers went to: Greenwood Lakes State Park, Taughannock State Park, Cinemapolis( “Rise of the Guardians”), Rochester's Strong Museum, Watkins Glen, Hangar Theater, and roller skating. · In between trips and daily activities there were the following presenters: Tin Can Fantasy Factory, Risa for juggling and Mark for fly-fishing. · Examples of the daily activities included: * Sports: various kick ball games, soccer, capture the flag, four square, parachute games, softball, ring toss games, bean bag toss games, running and tag games with and without water. * Science : Bubbles – making mixtures and homemade wands; Insects and Seashore; Explosions; Egg drop; Scavenger Hunt: Kite making * Forgotten Arts: English Muffin Pizza; Edible Peanut Butter Play dough; Board games; ball catchers on a string; cats in the cradle; Button on a string; s’mores; music/movement activities; goop; ooblic; clay; play dough; sno -cones; stilts (5 pair of varying sizes); washer game; jump rope; bean bag toss; hop scotch, crochet, corn fritters, grill cheese, pancakes, French toast, waffles, and ice cream in a bag. * Arts: All projects were specific to each age group: sun catchers, wood shape magnets, paper plate animals, pictures with foamies/stickers, water colors, craft stick plaques, fossil necklaces, ice cream spoon people, painted boxes, owl plaques, wind chimes, origami cranes, fish bowls, toilet paper roll owls/ crazy people, crazy critters made with pipe cleaners and pompoms, baskets, foam airplanes, dragonfly magnets, can tab bracelets and paper lanterns. * During, before, and after the daily activities/ trips/ presenters there were the traditional camp specials and “other/ choice” activities: * Specials: Ice cream sundaes, staff dish-to-pass lunch, peanut hunt (winner got a trophy - “monkeys” group) and pajama/movie day. * Tried to swim everyday and during after camp (many closed days due to weather damage and repairs), Playground Time, Sprinklers, Sidewalk Chalk, Misc. craft activities during choice times, Primitive Pursuits, Creek exploring.

Vera Howe-Strait Enfield Community Council Programs 5 Enfield Valley Grange “Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile.” - William Cullen Bryant Approximately 13 attendees enjoyed the annual Enfield Valley Grange picnic on July 20th. Special thanks to the Baker’s for hosting this event. On Saturday, September 7 th , three of our Grange members traveled to Gilbertsville (20 minutes east of Norwich) to complete degree work (Grange ritualism begins at the local or Subordinate level and at its most basic, is organized into seven degrees, the first four of which are the seasons of the year: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The county Grange proffers the Fifth Degree, State Grange proffers the Sixth, and National Grange proffers the seventh). We are proud to announce that Peggy Hubbell, and Sandra & George Trutt successfully completed degrees 1-5. The Grange upstairs is now rented to a Ping Pong Club that meets each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. If you are interested in watching or perhaps joining please feel free to stop in. We were sad to learn that one of our members, Mabel Rumsey, passed away. Our condolences to Mabel’s family. The Craft Club will resume the 1 st Sunday in October (10/6) at 1:00 p.m. Those returning, and anyone else interested, please gather pine cones and bring with you for making pine cone wreaths.

Please make time for yourself, and your family, by getting out and enjoying our beautiful Autumn season. Enfield Historian, Sue Thompson Thanks to Alice Linton, we have one more cookbook to add to the Historians collection. I am still looking to borrow others to copy if you want to share. The newest cookbook is the Enfield Valley Grange No. 295, 100 th Anniversary Cook book. The Anniversary celebration was held at the Enfield Valley Grange Hall, Sunday, June 8, 1975, 1:00 p.m. Officers of the Grange in 1974-75 were: Master – Roger Ballard; Overseer – Doris Specht; Lecturer – Millicent Carpenter; Steward – Roger Brown; Assistant Steward – Dale Laue; Lady Assistant Steward – Carol Laue; Chaplin – Elizabeth Rumsey; Treasurer – Joyce Laue; Secretary – Warena Ramsey; Gatekeeper – George Sonntag; Ceres – Bridgette Brown; Pomona – Charlotte Ballard; Flora – Mildred Stark; Executive Committee – George Stark. The cookbook starts out by telling the story of the grange, “On the cold and stormy night of February 4, 1875, fourteen men with their wives and four single met at the resident of John Theall and directed by Jesse Lyon, Deputy of Schuyler county, organized the Enfield Valley Grange No. 295. There were thirty-two charter members and the charter is dated April 30, 1875.” Meetings were held in Wortman’s Hall (201 Enfield Main Road). The Grange could not continue at the hall as it was condemned for lack of fire exits. From January 1925, they met in the Enfield Methodist church basement (7 Enfield Center Road West) until the present Grange Hall (178 Enfield Main Road) was ready for occupancy in August of 1926. They reported the following discussions took place at various Grange meetings throughout the years: the price of grass seed, cow testing by a Farm Bureau manager, prices of American Wire Fencing, raising pigs, purchasing harvest machinery, buying cement by the car load lots for 72 cents per sack with a 10 cent rebate on the sack, the outlook for rented farms and sowing of winter wheat. There were box suppers, dances, holiday parties and addresses by well- known speakers on subjects of particular interest to grangers. “Over the past one hundred years (plus), Enfield Valley Grange has led the way for better community spirit and service to humanity. Thus exemplifying the principal, “in essentials, unity; in non -essentials, liberty; in all things, charity. ” The “Language of War” will be performed by members of the Tompkins County Civil War Sesquicentennial Commemoration Commission on October 5 – Harvest Festival at 11:00 am at the Enfield Elementary School. Reading first-person accounts, and guided by a narrator, members will read from letters, documents, journals and diaries of Tompkins County U.S. civil war soldiers in battle and their friends and relatives back home. Diary excerpts of a nurse from Enfield, who was called “Aunt Becky,” describes what she saw while serving with the 109th Volunteer Infantry. A widow and mother of two children, Aunt Becky, known as Sarah Graham Palmer, went on to publish her experience in 1867. The reading brings up questions of loyalty, desertion and what volunteerism meant. “It also brings up the questions of why we go to war.” Other voices include Capt. Joseph Gregg, of Newfield, who died at the Battle of Gettysburg. Gregg died in that battle along with six other men from the county. 6 Enfield Food Pantry The Enfield Food Pantry is available to Enfield residents in need of help providing food for themselves and their family. The pantry is open 1-2 p.m. on the second Tuesday of every month and 3-5 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday. The pantry is in the Community Bldg, 182 Enfield Main Rd. and is a ministry of the Enfield Baptist Fellowship. The Town of Enfield provides the space and utility costs . Enfield Volunteer Fire Company Chief’s Report On August 8th the Enfield Volunteer Fire Company was just finishing training when a call came in from one of our members. They reported quickly rising water in the roadside ditches of Harvey Hill Road. Our first member arriving at Harvey Hill Road reported that water was already washing down the roadway. We then toned out for all available staff to report to the station. Then the calls started coming in for flooded roadways and basements. We sent members out to shut down flooded roads and started pumping flooded basements. Requests for assistance went out to NYSEG, neighboring fire departments, and the Enfield Highway Department. The Ithaca Fire Department and the Mecklenburg Fire Department assisted with traffic control. The Newfield Fire Department and the Trumansburg Fire Department sent crews to assist with pumping basements. NYSEG sent a line crew to the station and assisted with investigating electrical services hazards and reported arcing wires. The Enfield Highway Department assisted with clearing roads that were covered with debris so that we could get to residences in need. By 5 AM the next morning we had traffic control and barricades at 15 locations. We responded to 22 locations for pumping basements, assessing house damage, checking propane leaks, and assisting stranded motorists. On September 2nd the area was hit with another storm, this time flooding the Trumansburg area. We sent two crews there to assist with pumping basements and members manned our station here in case Enfield residents needed us. Later that morning we assisted The Enfield Highway Department with clearing debris out of driveway culverts on Harvey Hill Rd. We had a few stranded vehicles during the storm that tried to drive thru roads with moving water crossing over them. Always remember it is extremely dangerous to drive thru water that is running over the roadway. You do not know how deep it is, what's in it, or even if the road is still there. We are thankful that there were no injuries during these storms. We would like to offer a huge Thank You to all those assisted us during these events. We all look forward to supporting the Enfield Community; here are upcoming events: · Every other month we host the American Red Cross Blood Drive; November 19 th will be the last blood drive for 2013.
