HomeMy WebLinkAbout2019-April-June-Community-Newsletter1 Enfield Community Currents Brought to you by the Enfield Community Council 2019 April - June Free It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~ Charles Dickens, Great Expectations Hello Spring! I hope the beautiful weather we are experiencing while I write this sticks around. We have a lot going on this spring. First off, the Enfield Elementary School and the Enfield After School Program have approached the ECC about the Country Faire. It appears that this new event was missed last year. We voted to sponsor the event once again. Look inside for further information. Secondly, we have passed our new by-laws. They needed to be updated to meet State and Federal laws. With the new by-laws in place, we are ready to continue our push to build our Community Center. Now the question has been posed, do we still need it? While I believe a larger community space with a complete commercial kitchen is needed even more now, we would like the community’s opinion. Please let us know your thoughts via email or a phone call. Any officer will do, our contact info is located to the left. Third, Summer Camp registration has commenced. Inside you will find the information and forms. Please contact Vera if you have any questions. Her contact info is in the forms. Fourth, the Town of Enfield is doing clean up days once again. The dates are Wednesday, May 8th through Friday, May 10th from 12 pm to 5 pm and Saturday, May 11th from 7 am to 12 pm. Please see the town website for further information. Fifth, Free Rabies Vaccination Clinic on May 9th at the Enfield Highway Department. Again, please see the town website for further information. Obviously, everyone has been busy with planning and will continue to be busy with all these events going on in the near future! Please remember to take a deep breath when you need one!

Connecticut Hill Enfield Town Historian, Sue Thomp- son (historian@townofenfield.org) While looking for ideas for an article on “Enfield History” I found a newspaper article dated August 1911. It told about D.A. Brodie of the Bureau of Plant Industry, department of Agricul- ture in Washington D.C. coming to Tompkins County. He was viewing the “so-called” abandoned farms of Con- necticut Hill. The government had been making experiments there to im- prove the condition of the soil. This was the section of the county which Col. Theodore Roosevelt made a trip through in 1910. After reading the article I wondered how much land in Enfeld is designated as Connecticut Hill Wildlife Manage- ment (WM) Area. There is a total of 181.88 acres according to the Tomp- kins County Assessment Office (18.-1- 9 and 18.-1-10). Then I wondered who owned the land before W.M. Florence and Samuel Decker were listed on the deed. Florence received the land in her name on February 1911. The fam- ily was listed in the Federal Census as living in Newfield on Saxton Hill (Cayutaville Road) until they were listed as living on Town Line Road in 1930 in Enfield. Samuel’s occupation was general farming and Florence’s occupation was housekeeping. They had two children Seeley and Nellie. Their land was sold to the W.M. in 1936. They both died in the late 1930’s. 6 Enfield Community Council Summer Day Camp July 8, 2019 to August 16, 2019 The Enfield Community Council Summer Day Camp offers a camp program which will enhance the children’s growth, well-being, and social development by incorporating one or more of the following components into all camp activities and projects: educational and/or recreational objectives, physical fitness and cultural studies including art and music.
