Funded by the Tompkins County United Way
PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER
The program components that are described in this newsletter are the result
of a tremendous amount of cooperation, coordination and work done by volunteers.
To fund our programs we receive income from the Tompkins County United Way, the
New York State Division for Youth, Tompkins County, the Town of Enfield, the New
York State Council on the Arts thru the Tompkins County Decentralization Program,
fundraising, fees, and your donations. Each funder has increasingly greater
accountability requirements for us to maintain to receive funds. As we continue
to assess and develop programing to meet the divergent needs of our community, we
need your help, participation and most of all understanding. Before this news-
letter could be printed, staff had to be found, salarys negotiated, schedules
accomodated, space coordinated, time tables integrated and a gigantic 'logic'
problem resolved! Your understanding is important because if a staff person
"cancels" a class -or calls in sick, up to 30 parents may have to be contacted.
Class lists are kept by the instructors whose responsibility it is to give you
notice. For this reason, your child must be registered and listed with a phone
number (where you can be reached) on the attendance sheet. Hopefully, this will
keep "futile" trips to the school to a minimum! Please bring completed registra-
tion form (a copy is included in this newsletter) to activity. Additional forms
are available through the school and from community council members.
Enfield Community Council Programs for Winter and Spring, 1987
Afterschool Programs
This year the Enfield Community Council is cosponsoring the afterschool program
with the Enfield PTA beginning Tuesday, February 24. On 3 days a week, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays, and Thursdays for 10 weeks children in grades 3 to 5 can remain after -
school to participate in an afterschool program including art, science, remedial
help, games, sports, cooking, needlework, music and gymnastics. More specific
details will be available through the school shortly. Mr. Michael Cook, a 3rd
grade teacher at Enfield, will continue as the Director. Remember the program
runs from 2:00 to 5:00. Please be prompt to pick up your child.
Please note: Although there is no afterschool program until February 24,
Shelby Tedesco is returning to do gymnastics for us on Tuesdays starting February 3.
The times for gymnastics classes are: 3:00 to 3:45 9, 10, 11 year olds
3:45 to 4:30 12, 13 year olds
4:30 to 5:00 6, 7, 8 year olds
5:00 to 5:30 3, 4, 5 year olds
5:30 to 6:30 14 and older
Parent contacts for gymnastics and afterschool program will be Sonja Schreiber (272-
9343) and Rhonda Connors (273-8268) who will be working for us again.
• A recital for the gymnastics and afterschool program will be held the 1st week
in May. Parents are needed to plan. Please call parent contact to volunteer.

Music Lessons
Connie Stirling and Leslie Bongo Smith are continuing with piano lessons. '
• Both would like new students. If you would like to register your child, Alice
Linton, 272-3919, is the parent contact. Both teachers are in the process of
establishing schedules for this semester, so call now.
Joe Salzano is qualified to teach percussion, clarinet and saxaphone. Please
call Harnie Kirchgessner at 272-2241 if there is interest and we'll try to coordinate
lessons. Last semester we did not have enough interest in guitar lessons to attract
a teacher. If interested, please call Marnie to see if something can be arranged.
Youth Performance Group
Starting Wednesday, February 4, we will offer a 2 hour weekly Performance Group
to meet at the Enfield School gym at 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. This group will meet with
director Livesay to discuss the performance activities. Class size will be limited
but your imagination is the only limitation on goals! Contact Chris Smith at 272-
4328 for more information.
Adult Programs (Teens welcome'.)
We now have volunteers to monitor open gym activities on both Monday (basketball)
and Thursday (volleyball - group sports) from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Kenny Smith can be
contacted for more information or just come on down. Kenny can be reached at 273-
1689.
Musical Arts Program
The Town of Enfield was awarded a $1,000 Decentralization Crant for a musical
arts program to be conducted at the school. We will have as part of our afterschool
program one day a week special musical activities including recorder lessons. The
• Council purchased some recorders and has them available on a loan basis. If interested,
your child should contact Mr. Cook. We will also be able to fund a musical director
position in our summer camp program.
These events are being made possible, in part, with public funds from the New
York State Council on the Arts administered by the Tompkins County Decentralization
Program. These funds provide our community with an opportunity to have program
activities we could not otherwise afford.
This is the second year Enfield has received a grant and we are delighted to
be recipients. We intend to have a recital at the end of this year's Spring Program
to demonstrate the new skills acquired by the participants.
Enfield Teen - Youth Program
The good news is over 45 youth participated in last semester's youth group.
The bad news is the group was suspended from use of the Enfield School because of
damage and disorder to school property as well as disrespectfulness toward each other
and our staff. At the January 14 Community Council meeting the issue was discussed
and a "task force" formed to meet with interested teens and parents to determine if
community interest and commitment on the part of youth exists to merit an ongoing
program for this age group. Carol Barriere will head the task force, working closely
with JoAnne Smith. They intend to contact past participants by letter with more
details. The Council is committed to the concept of community service on the part
of the youth to "earn" back community support. If interested, and you do not receive
a letter by mid -February, contact Carol Barriere at 277-3843.
ECC Preschool
The ECC Preschool meets at the Enfield Fire Station on Tuesdaysand Thursdays
• from 8:30 - 11:00 a.m. It is a parent -cooperative for children age 3-5 years. The
teacher is Elizabeth Saggese and teacher's aide is Mary Cole. For more information,
call Carol Barriere, 277-3843 or Alice Linton, 272-3919.

What follows is a brief account of some of the Historian's
activities in 1936.
• The continued monitoring of local happenings for inclusion in a
scrap book for the year.
A genuine attempt to aid persons in their inquiries with the
requested information or referrals.
The acquisition of information and material for inclusion in the
Historian's Collection for future reference by interested persons.
There were three publications in 1986 concerning local history
that were added to the Collection. The first is " A Short History
of Tompkins County " by Jane Marsh Dieckmann. As the title suggests
it is a short volume, but easy and enjoyable reading. The second is
entitled " Enterprising Families Ithaca, New York their Houses and
Businesses " by Carol U. Sisler. This volume is of particular interest
to Enfielders in that it includes much on Jared Newman. Jared Newman
was the mayor of Ithaca at one time and played a prominent role in the
development of -thaca's East Hill area. To our good fortune, xerox copies
of two journals written by Mr. Newman are now included in the
Collection. The Third " Tompkins County Guide and Yearbook 1986-87 "
edited by Roger Howley, in which contemporary information is dealt with.
The Collection was also the recipient of two record books
concerning the Baptist Church, for safe keeping.
A small number of photographs have been added to the Collection. It
would be fair to say that the greatest interest in the Collection is
• the photographs. Thus it is a primary endeavor to enlarge that segment
of the Collection.
Did you know that a Rail Road was once planned for going through
Enfield? On May 26, 1870 the Pennsylvania & Sodus Bay Rail Road was
chartered with plans to lay track through Newfield and Enfield to
Trumansburg. In 1872 wore: ceased without any track ever being laid.
The grade can be seen in certain areas of the Town to this day.
Did you know that there were 37 births to known residents this past
year - 21 girls and 16 boys?
Did you know that there were 7 deaths of known residents and
6 deaths of former residents?
Did you know that there are 1191 registered voters in Enfield?
694 in the first district and 497 in the second district. Of these,
736 voted in the last election - 427 in the first district and 309
in the second district - about a 62% turnout.
Did you know that 38 new house numbers were assigned in 1986?
Do you have a particular interest in history, feel free to contact
the Historian. A growing Collection can only come auuut with the
help of local citizens with a sense of recording past and current
events.

Total calls for 1986 were 128. They included 53 rescue calls, 19 motor vehicle
accidents, 24 mutual aid calls and 32 fire calls. Manhours this year totalled 8,055.
This is up nearly 1,000 manhours from last year. Awards were presented at our banquet
for the top three firefighters with the most manhours. They were, in order, Marty
Schreiber, Larry Lanning and Dominic Seamon.
New members joining this past year included Chris Baldwin, Leon Rathbun, Steve
Turesik, Dave Livingstone and Jim Miner. Out of these five members three have
completed and passed the 40 Hour Essentials of Firemanship Course. They are Leon
Rathbun, Steve Turesik and Dave Livingstone.
We added four certified Emergency Medical Technicians to our staff last year.
Roger Laue, Larry Lanning, Marty Schreiber and Jim Whittaker all passed their state
exams to become EMT's.
The last part of 1986 turned out to be the busiest part of the year for us as
we have had three major fires: Willowood Campsites Recreation Hall, an old barn
that had been converted to apartments on the Hines Road and a large garage on Van
Dorns Road. So far, 1987 has not been kind to us as on the 5th day of the new year
we were confronted with an almost uncontrollable house fire on Rockwell Road that
totally destroyed the home.
Even though we did have three major fires in 1986, we are proud to say we saved
• at least a dozen homes or structures from total destruction. In most cases, family
lifestyles were not interrupted at all as fires were contained to the room or area
of origin.

This year's projects include the completion of our brush truck which is 907,
done, some minor repair and refurbishing of our I4ini-Pumper/Rescue truck and an
• update of our personal protective clothing to meet the new N.F.P.A./O.S.H.A. laws.
In 1986 we also started procedures to establish a Fire Service Explorers Post.
As of this writing, we are awaiting our charter. When we receive this, we will
officially be able to start. We already have at least 5 members who are anxiously
awaiting the official day. This program is open to any boys and girls who are 14
or 15 years old and have completed the 8th grade. The program allows young people
to become involved in the Fire Department. If you would like more information on
this program, call Denny Hubbell at 272-8757 between. 3:00 and 5:00 p.m. or stop at
the fire station on any Thursday night between 7:00 and 8:00.

Enfield Ladies Auxiliary
The Enfield Ladies Auxiliary did not
sell the Community Birthday Calendar

calendar again, you can contact Denise
Simmons at 277-1779 or Linda Hubbell at
272-5034 and let us know your thoughts.
If we get enough response, we will be
willing to do the calendar again.
The Auxiliary will be having more
fund raisers during the next few months,
so keep watch for postings.
We would like to thank the people
that have supported us at the recent
dinners we have had. We hope to have
an even larger turn -out at our next
event.

Troup 50 News
October 22, 1986, Ronald E. Switzer took over as Boy Scout leader of. Troup
50 of Enfield. Ron is a native of Enfield, he is also a former Boy Scout.
The Boy Scouts are now chartered by the Enfield PTA, in addition with the many
graces of the Enfield Vol. Fire Department, they are allowed to hold their meetings
on Wednesday nights at the Firehouse. There are currently 16 boys active, and many
Committee members to help with the organizing.
Boys may join when they reach age 11. If they are younger, there are other
branches of Scouting available.
We have been working on reorganizing Troup 50. We participated in a Bowl-a-Ree
on December 6. This was to raise funds towards Summer Camp. Included in some of
our activities are monthly Campouts, at various locations in the County. There are
many exciting events coming up.
On January 24, 1987, Troup 50 will be participating in the "Klondike Derby"
held at Camp Barton - Boy Scout Camp. Scouting Week is February 8-14.
Starting in the month of February, the Boy Scouts will be collecting empty
soda cans and bottles. We call this Troup 50's CAN-A-THON. The money collected
from the emptys will be used for supplies for the troup and towards Summer Camp.
The boys will be out collecting. Anyone who wishes a pick up, please contact Ron
Switzer after 4:00 p.m. Drop off of cans may be made at Ron Switzer's - Black Oak
Road 277-4029, Jim Royce's - Enfield Main Road 273-7774, Roger Laue's - Fish Road

"Come as you are."
We invite you to "come as you are" to our church. Come with your problems
and imperfections, your fears and hang-ups. Come with your broken promises and
New Year's resolutions. Come if you have experienced struggle and temptation.
Come, not because you are perfect, but because you are forgiven.
Our Worship is informal. Dress varies from casual to Sunday Best. Come
in what makes you feel good about worshipping. Ours is a "Community Church" --
because we try to serve the Enfield community, because we welcome people of all
Christian traditions, and because we ourselves are a community that cares for
each other.
Of course we are a community that prays together, committed to God and the
Bible. But we believe that God cares about us and our life in the here and
now, and not only the hereafter. Join us if you would like other people to
share your everyday joys and sorrows, triumphs and disappointments, as well as
your spiritual life.
Our Sunday School is lively. Join us if you would like Christian
teachings and values for your children -- taught and studied by interested and
interesting people.
• Come as you are. In doing so, you may find the power to become what you
could be.

DEAR ENFIELDERS:
A sharp rise in taxes distresses everyone! The amount of taxes to be raised is
the difference between the cost of what is needed for the budgeted year and the Town's
anticipated income and its reserve. The Town Board Members, Messrs. Laue, Lanning,
Scofield, Linton, and I put forth our best efforts on the budget, but a low tax rate
is not the only measure of good government. With this tax increase, many people
have been jolted to awareness and want to know what is going on in Enfield. So it
should be, but the taxpayer should stay alert. In less than eight months (September),
the 1988 budget will be presented setting next year's tax rate. So don't just sit
back and criticize. Be involved and look ahead to election time. The circle from
which Enfield's elected officials have come has been too concentrated for too long.
Things have changed and we have not kept pace. What has transpired in our town
government in the past has had its effect on what is happening now. We must all
work together for a better Enfield.
-o-
Another pressing issue is the location of the county landfill. No one wants
the landfill in his town.' The Tompkins County Board of Representatives has not had
the initiative to work toward the goal of a burn/recovery facility because the
economics of such a decision would not be politically wise. Instead, they have
opted for another landfill that no town is willing to accept without a fight. Our
sad situation is that the decision of the landfill site is not for any town to make -
it is a county decision. Especially sad for Enfield because Enfield is represented
on the County Board by two members (WINCH and MASON), neither of whom live in Enfield
and whose primary loyalty logically would be to the town in which they live.
It is my opinion that any town that is to be burdened by the location of the
• proposed landfill site should be duly compensated and protected against as many
detriments and disadvantages of the circumstances as possible. At the January Town
Board meeting, I appointed a Landfill Committee to work on this matter. The
committee members are:
Roger Laue 272-8035
Larry Lanning 272-1054
Bob Scofield, Jr. 273-6381
Bob Linton 273-9168
Etta Gray 273-0462
•
Don Barber, 272-4631, is Enfield Environmental Management Council Representative.
Contact any of us on any aspect of the landfill. We need your input for direction.
Enfield is a fine little town and we should be proud and happy to work together
for a better Enfield.
Happy New Year,

Town Resolution
• The following resolution was adopted by the Enfield Town Board at a Regular
Meeting held on January 7, 1987.
Councilman Roger Laue moved for its adoption. Councilman Robert Linton seconded
the motion. Motion carried.
RESOLVED, The Enfield Town Board adopts to increase the income
limits for partial property tax exemption for the elderly from
$10,500 to $12,025 to comply with the maximum allowed by State Law.
I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and correct transcript of a
resolution adopted by the Enfield Town Board on the 7th day of January, 1987.

Recommendations for Mailbox Mounts
With winter upon us, the United States Postal Service has the following guide-
lines: "In areas where snow removal is a problem, the use of a semi -arch or extended
arm type of support is suggested (see drawing). This allows snowplows to sweep near
or under boxes without damage to supports and provides easy access to the boxes by
carrier and customers."
• In an Opinion from the Attorney General 2/28/f6
it states: It is my opinion that when the necessi'r �IJOHX NOON
of keeping the highway open conflicts with the in- "'
dividual's receipt of the mail, the latter must
stand aside. He might even be compelled to remove
the box under Highway Law §319. I find no right
of the individual to interfere with the speedy ant
efficient removal of snow by placing his mailbox
in such a position as to cause this result, and zo
liability results on the part of the public offir_`_al
charged with the duty of snow removal if such a ox
is so placed it may be injured by proper highwav
maintenance.
Old Remedies (1800's)
For Sore Throat: Cut slices of fat pork or bacon; simmer a few minutes in hot
vinegar, and apply to throat as hot as possible. When this is
taken off, as the throat is relieved, put around a bandage of
soft flannel.
Lung Congestion: Peel and slice four onions - cook until soft and add a small
amount of mustard. Spread the warm mixture on a thin cloth, lay
on chest and cover with warm flannel to hold in heat. (This
