2014 October—November Free
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
~Albert Camus
Here comes fall!
This afternoon I was gazing off into the distance, and came up short when I
realized I was looking at a couple Maples fully turned to red(!) I don’t know about
you, but I am NOT ready for this… seems like I just got warmed up from last
winter!
At the front of my mind lately has been my friend, Dawn George, who is
struggling with leukemia—I thank the Grange for putting together a Spaghetti
Supper benefit for her on September 27th, and I dearly hope this reach's folks in
time for you to attend. I understand there will also be a 50/50 raffle as well as gift
basket raffles. If you miss it, you can always donate after the fact. For those who
don’t know Dawn, she and her husband Scott have a horse farm on Fish Road.
Scott works for the Town Highway Department, and Dawn serves on the Town
Planning Board. She is also the Agricultural Education teacher at George Junior
Republic in Freeville, and is helping young people find focus and direction, and
changing lives, though agriculture. Check out the Grange article on page 6 for
more information.
Next up is, of course, the annual Enfield Harvest Festival on Saturday,
October 4th. This is always a wonderful event for families, with lots of good, old-
fashioned fun. Let the children play some games, make a craft, try on some “big-
boy” fire gear, and chase after a ping pong ball. There will a shared giant ice
cream Sunday with the Dairy Princess around 1:00 p.m., and there is always
something you can’t live without at the Silent Auction. Bring your lawn chair, buy
some baked goods from the Senior Citizens, and sit and chow down while you
listen to live music. Of course, please remember the Scholastic Book Fair inside
the school—did you set aside a few bucks to help your, or someone else’s, child
pick a book or two of their very own? Reading to a child for 20 minutes a day
from birth is a proven way to help them get ready for school and reading on
grade level by third grade—remember? That’s when they go from learning to
read to reading to learn!
One last thing: did you know the Red Cross Blood Drive, held by-monthly at
the Enfield Fire Department, recently broke the Enfield record (and a lot of other
records in the county) with 37 pints ?! Way to go, Enfield! Let’s roll up our
sleeves for the last drive of the year on November 18th.

ECC New Building Update
There are so many great things happening to move our new
Community Center building project forward! Coming this Fall, be on the
lookout for a special community event when we’ll come together to mark the
spot and break some ground where we plan to see Enfield’s new
Community Center standing by the end of next year. Our fundraising
campaign will begin very soon and there will be lots of opportunities to
contribute to the project in many different ways.
The building design is progressing and organization of the entire project
is coming together. There will be much to share over the next several
months so be sure to keep an eye out for more communication soon.
If you would like to learn more, there will be information at the Enfield
Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 4th . You can also check out our new
website to learn about the project and more:

Happy Fall! As the daylight is decreasing and the air
becomes chilly, memories of warmer times are still fresh.
The Summer was just about packed full of fun outdoor
adventures at Enfield Summer Camp and beyond! All
Summer, lots of Enfield youth were hiking, gardening, and
camping out.
Thanks to support from the CCE Small is Beautiful!
mini-grant, the Enfield Youth Garden is really blossoming!
Campers enjoyed assisting Colleen McKenzie and I in
caring for the flowers, herbs and vegetables over the
Summer. The annual Camp tradition of an overnight was
completed at the Robert H. Treman's group site, this year
with beautifully clear skies! With about 15 campers and a
hand-full of staff, we had a great night of cooking over the
fire, playing games in the dark, and easing kids into their
first time sleeping in a tent! Graduating 8th graders
celebrated their transition to High School with an
overnight at 4-H Acres with their peers from Dewitt and
JYC. Girls from Girls' Circle joined with some Danby girls
for an overnight in a yurt, complete with campfire stories,
belly dancing and lots of giggling. Five brave and rugged
Enfield youth combined with a group from Dryden for a
three-day backpacking trip down the Interloken Trail in the
Finger Lakes National Forest!
With the new school year comes NEW after-school
programs! Middle-School aged youth will be working hard
to ensure that the 40th Annual Enfield Harvest Festival is
a huge success! We'll be cooking, baking, picking
pumpkins, selling raffle tickets and setting up games.
Look for these wonderful, eager and helpful individuals at
the festival! They'll be there. Starting in October, youth
programs will include Magic Mondays, Girls Circle, Lunch
Bunch, Primitive Pursuits, Finally Fridays and more!
The Enfield RYS program provides opportunities for
young people to connect with friends, try new skills, and
have a place where they can truly belong. For more

A Little Reminder of our Local State Park
Sue Thompson, Enfield Historian
Robert H. Treman State Park was named for the Ithaca merchant,
financier, and philanthropist. He and his wife, Laura, presented the glen
and surrounding property, located in the south part of Enfield, to the
State of New York in 1920. For over fifty years the hamlet of Enfield
Falls with as many as fifteen buildings thrived in what is now the upper
park, with the grist mill as its economic center.
The first grist mill was built in 1817 on the same spot as the existing
one, by Isaac Rumsey. When that mill burned in the 1830’s Jared
Treman (Robert H. Treman’s grandfather) replaced it with the present
mill. This mill was in use from 1839 to 1917. In 1926 restoration of the
mill started and 1927 the building was opened to the public for viewing.
On July 7, 1935, the mill escaped destruction in a disastrous flood that
caused extensive damage though out the counties of New York.
The Enfield Falls Mill and Miller's House was listed on the
National Register of Historic Places in 1979. During the Depression
from 1933 to 1941, a major Civilian Conservation Corps (C.C.C.) camp
was located southwest of the mill. The Corps “Company 1265 at Camp
SP-6” at one time consisted of more than 100 young men who lived first
in tents and later in wooden barracks. These men were responsible for
much of the fine quality carpentry and stone masonry in evidence
though out the park.
There is currently an active group, Friends of Robert H. Treman
State Park, helping to preserve park resources including the Mill along
with the old machinery in the mill with exhibits in the mill and
archeological investigation of the Enfield Falls hamlet.
To end this short history of our park I will share an “urban legend”
of the Mill. Our “gang” had ridden our bikes down to the “old mill” at the
park (Treman). When we got there we talked with a man who had
been fishing by the mill. He said he didn’t catch anything because of
the “mill ghost”. He said back when the mill was running there was a
man who worked night and day there. He was supposed to get married
one Saturday but he wouldn’t leave because there was too much work
to be done. When his bride-to-be got there she was so upset she
climbed to the top of the mill and jumped. Visitors to the mill have
reported seeing the “bride/mill” ghost!
Ithaca Youth Bureau
The IYB is adding Fall Swimming lessons
to its slate of program offerings. The program
runs Sundays, September 7th through

Curriculum. We are offering a non-swimmer/
Tots lesson, Level 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The

New 4-H Club Opportunity
A new 4-H club will be forming in October for youth 5 -12 years of
age. The group plans to study and learn about food and nutrition and
cooking, robotics small animal care and other topics of interest.
Meetings will be held at the Enfield Grange Hall and meeting dates and
times are to be determined.
Parents are expected to support their child/ren’s participation in 4-H
and there are a variety of roles available. There is a $10 county
enrollment fee and the club will determine how to best meet other
financial obligations for projects.
4-H teaches subject matter and life skills through an intentional
process that helps young people meet key developmental needs.
Through a variety of activities, 4-H members develop a sense of
belonging, independence, mastery and generosity.
For more information on this new 4-H club opportunity, please
