Home My WebLink About2014 Oct-Dec-Community-Newsletter.pdf1 Enfield Community Currents News from and for the Community 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. - Debbie Teeter, Editor This newsletter sponsored by the Enfield Community Council (ECC) Cortney Bailey, President 279-4702 cbailey525@yahoo.com JoAnn Huddle, Vice President 227-7115 Deena Rambaum, Secretary 379-3420 deenarambaum@gmail.com Jennifer Hubbell, Treasurer Debbie Teeter, Newsletter Editor 277-4547 What’s Inside… From the Editor 1 EVFC Chicken BBQ 1 Enfield Harvest Festival 2 Enfield Summer Camp 3 New Community Building 3 Youth Programming 4 Community Quilt 4 New 4-H Club Opportunity 5 IYB Fall Swimming 5 Town Historian 5 Old Time Square Dance Night 5 Enfield Connects 5 Pre-K 5 Free Rabies Clinics 6 Enfield Valley Grange 6 Enfield Food Pantry 6 For the Farm Community 7 Area Churches: 7 Agape Bible Church Enfield Baptist Fellowship Jacksonville United Methodist Living Water Christian Fellowship 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.

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!

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 October 26th at the Ithaca High School pool. There is a 3 pm, 4 pm and 5 pm offering of American Red Cross Learn to Swim Curriculum. We are offering a non-swimmer/ Tots lesson, Level 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The program is $50 for City of Ithaca Residents and $70 for non-city residents. To find registration materials, more information about this program and the rest of the IYB programming please go to IYBREC.com 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.
