JUNE 1987
SPONSORED BY THE ENFIELD COMMUNITY COUNCIL, INC
FUNDED BY THE TOMPKINS COUNTY UNITED WAY
ENFIELD COMMUNITY COUNCIL'S 1987 SUMMER PROGRAM
This year's Summer Program will start Tuesday, June 30.
Pre -registration is requested and a form is included in this newsletter.
Additional forms are also available at the school. Forms should be returned
to Marnie Kirchgessner at 191 Enfield Main Road, Ithaca, NY 14850.
Additionally, a registration day will be held at the school on June 29 from
9 - llam. In order to comply with health department regulations, group
size is limited, so please apply early so we can plan accordingly that no
child will be turned away.
Applications are accepted on the day that Marnie receives them.
Medical information is required by the health department and all of the
children will be checked for head lice before admission to camp. Parents of
preschoolers must sign up to provide a snack and drink for at least one day
of the camp.
Camp will end Friday, July 31 which will be "clean up day" with special
activities planned. Please have your children dress appropriately for this
and other camp activities. Sneakers are a must.
Nancy Desarro is returning as our camp director and she is planning a
• performance of "Alice in Wonderland Visits Enfield". The date of the
Performance is Thursday night July 30, 1987. If you know your child will
not be available that night due to family vacation ect., please let the camp
staff know in advance.
We are going to try to offer a cooking class this year, that will make
the dishes to pass for our "Dinner Theatre". We are asking for your support
in providing some of the items. Remember cooperation keeps this camp
running.
The hours for the camp will be 9:30am to 12:30pm daily,except July 3
(No Camp). Only children of the staff members are permitted on the school
premises before 9:30. The Summer Feeday Program will again provide lunches
for the campers.
The Summer Camp Program is available because of funding from the New
York State Division for Youth and the Tompkins County United Way. No child
will be turned away for inability to contribute. However, new state
regulations are making it more difficult to maintain a balanced budget on
the modest donation requested ($6). For this reason we are asking support
from the community. Especially families of children who are currently
participating and who have participated in the past with fundraising. We
are planning an auction to be held in August. Please Donate those items you
never use but are too good to discard. Items you did not sell at your last
garage sale would be great.
We will pick them up for you and even store them until the auction. If you
would like something picked up please call Chris Smith in the evenings at
272-4328 or Carol Barriere at 277-3843. If you find it hard to part with
• your possessions, we'll accept baked goods, plants or be creative. How
about donating a type of service, such as garden work, cook a dinner for
two, or splitting firewood ect.. Please, if you want to see community
programs continue, we need your contributions and attendance at this vital
fundraiser. If you are interesting with the organizing of the auction, or
helping pick up the goods, please call either Chris or Carol at the
previously mentioned numbers.

Program and the start of school.

the summer camp.
OUR HEART FILLED THANKS!
There is no fitting tribute to Mr.
Navarro who is being transferred to
Belle Sherman at the end of this
school year. Mr. Navarro has been
a true friend of the Enfield
Community. No matter haw
problematic community programming
in the school has been, he has
always advocated for public use of
the facility. We have found Mr.
Navarro receptive, and no problem
or concern was ever to difficult to
resolve. we have enjoyed working
with him and will truly miss him.
It is hoped that our constructive
relationship with the new principal
will continue. However, we will
never forget the positive impact
that Mr. Navarro has made, and for
that is his legacy to us and we
thank him.

ENFIELD DAY CARE REFERRAL AIDE
If you are in need of day care,
or if you are interested in
doing day care, please contact
Carol Barriere at 277-3843.
Carol is the Enfield Day Care
Referral Aide for the Tompkins
County Day Care Council.
In the January issue of the,"Enfield Newsletter", I reported the number of major
fires that have occurred in the past. At that point we had already had three major
fires in the last six months in 1986, and one in the beginning of 1987. Since then we
have had three more major fires bringing the total number of major fires to seven
within the last nine months. We feel this is way too many. Of course we also feel
that one major fire is too many. The fire company members encourage everyone in the
town to practice good fire prevention procedures. Good housekeeping, Inspection and
proper construction of heating and chimney equipment and proper care and use of
smoking materials are just a few that we would like to mention.
The Fire Company is still looking for new volunteers. Just stop by the Fire
Station and someone will'explain the procedure. Although our department has been able
to maintain a stable list of personnel, departments across the state and locally have
been experiencing rapid declines in membership. Surveys show there are many reasons
for the decline, but the most common is the lack of time people have to volunteer.
Hopefully Enfield won't experience this problem. I have seen departments that once
had a waiting list for membership, are now confronted with lack of members. Due to
severity of this problem, the state has developed a task force to try to correct the
situation.
Due to liability insurance reasons, We are asking the cooperation of the people
of the town to refrain from swimming in the pond behind the Fire Station. Only active
volunteer firemen and the Enfield Community Council Swim Program are authorized to use
the pond. The area is marked with signs to inform everyone. As of June 1, 1987 the
Sheriff's Department will be checking and enforcing these restrictions.
The new Fire Station plans are once again at a standstill. After months of
discussion, planning and a very small amount of community input, the Town Board and
the Fire Company are in disagreement on certain issues. There are no new developments
as of yet.
The 36 annual field days will be held on June 25, 26 and 27. Thursday night we
will kick off with the Kiddie Parade. Friday night we will be having ATVs and a
mini -tractor pull. Saturday morning will be the hose races. After 35 years of, having
• the Firemen's Parade on Friday night, we changed our Firemen's Parade to Saturday
night at 7:00pm. We will also continue to have the many games, rides, food and
refreshments. Don't forget to tell your family, friends and neighbors that the
Firemen's Parade will be on Saturday Night.

V•�-•~ Summer is upon us and the Tompkins
County Board of Representatives is still
dealing with the emotional problem of
siting a landfill. as you are well aware
of, there are site. both in Enfield and
DISTRICT B Newfield. I remind the people of Enfield
EN£IELD/NEWFIlLD 310 BURDOE HILL RD. khat helm c I was cI.ctnd, 1 rl Aled
IOMPNINS COUNTY NEWFIELD. N.Y. 14aa7 Opposition to siting a landfill in
BOARD OF REPRESENTATIVES 007-564-781e Enfield. He have too many criteria to
oppose the siting. Among them: aquifers,
serene and scenic parkland, productive
farmland and above all treacherous routes to possible sites. One
must consider the traffic on there bills and the live. of sehoolbus
loads of children on their way to and from school. T wish the
siting was behind us.
On the positive side of this problem, I must say that i marvel
at the work that has been done by Bea Schwoerer, Marli Cavanaugh,
and Pat Kennedy. With their leadership I have been provided with
much information and documented data to present to the Board in
Opposition to the sites. The Board has also been doing a fantastic
job in disseminating information an recycling and trash reduction
that will help all of us make the neat landfill have a longer
useful life. My hat is off to them and other Enfield residents
that have conducted their work in a highly professional manner.
By the time this is read I hope the Enfield Youth Program has
started with some County Youth Bureau funds. Although this program
is threatened from time to time, the Beard of Representatives
restore these funds as they realize the importance of this program
in keeping our rural youth active with productive activities.
Rave a productive and safe summerll

FROM THE DESK OF THE TOWN SUPERVISOR
The landfill situation certainly has unified Enfield in spirit
and action for the benefit of the entire community. Now, is there
some way we can muster the same spirit to work together on the
problem of the need for a new fire house/community building? No
one disputes the need for a new building - the hook is how to
provide a building that the taxpayers can afford.
The subject of a new fire house has been the topic of
discussion for some time (years), but the cost and its effect on
taxes has sharply divided those involved in the discussions. The
Enfield Volunteer Fire Company Inc. owns the present fire house and
the Town of Enfield contracts yearly for town fire protection with
them. At one point, the Town Board and Fire Company were at such
odds, it was decided that a solution was State of New York
acceptance as a Fire District, in which case the Fire Company would
deal with a Board of Fire Commissioners instead of the Town Board.
The costs would still be borne by the Enfield taxpayers whether a
Fire District or Fire Protection District, the difference would be
with the Fire Company deals --Town Board or Fire Commissioners.
After two rejected applications from the State. this Town
Board voted to withdraw its application from the State and stay a
Fire Protection District. It is my opinion that it is the
responsibility of the Town Board to achieve a harmonious solution.
Other communities resolve such problems without bitterness and
nastiness that has been swirling around this matter.
What about the concept of "barn raising" - a community
involvement project? There has to be a solution! Give this
•
serious state of affairs your consideration and let the Town Board
and The Fire Company hear your thoughts and suggestions. --Write or
call, please. There must be questions you want answered --please
ask.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE TOWN CLERK
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the
residents of the Town of Enfield who have made my term as Town
Clerk a very good one. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons,I
must resign from my position as of June 2, 1987.
I also would like to take this time to urge all of you to
become both more aware and involved in what is going on in your
community, and also with the leaders who are making the decisions
on how it is run. It is important what happens to YOU. As it
stands now, things are not necessarily done in the publics
interest, some leaders are not interested in the publics view
point, but simply do it their way.
Respectfully,
Shirley M. Holcomb

ON THE VALUE OF STARS, THE COMPASS, AND SHORELINE
Article by: Richard Sholcue, member of stiff of F&CS, Employee Assistance Prugam
WHAT'S HARD TO TAKE, BUT EASY TO GIVE,
CAN CAUSE US TO CRY. YET IS NEEDED TO LIVE,
MAY COME TO US DAILY BY FRIEND OR BY FOE
AND IN SPITE OF ITS BEARER CAN HELP US TO GROv1'?
CRITICISM. What is criticism? It is an evaluation, whether intentional or unintentional, serious or comical, dire, i
or indirect, loving or vindictive, specific or general, helpful or hurtful. Each of us has given criticism: ea:h of t:-
has received criticism. We've benefined from it, and we've injured others through our criticism. ImaIine what it
would be like to go through life without any feedback about the quality of our thinking, attitudes, or behaviors.
impossible! From the time we're toddlers people evaluate our efforts and actions for a variety of reasons --not the
least of which is to help us survive and thrive in life. Without such analysis of our doing and being, we would
have no direction, no purpose, no structure, no quality control to our existence. We would be like ship_ without
.stars or compass or shoreline.
it takes courage to face and embrace criticism. though, because some feedback is unpleasant, and is difficult to
rc eive--especially from "significant others." The pain involved in criticism comes from having to revi.c ocr sc1:-
:mage, not infrequently taking a blow to our self-esteem. We can learn to take advantage of critici>m, ihoagn, b:.
..p preciating its role, viewing it in balanced perspective, and giving and taking it responsibly. Fo:io,%. .tie sot -
cstions for doing this.
TO GIVE HELPFUL CRITICISM:
1 %lake certain your criticism is justified, and that
you're not the one who "owns the problem."
_. Make sure the criticism is worth giving, consider
in,, the feelings it might arouse.
3.%Vau for the a' propriate time to deliver the criti-
cism. When yuu feel like criticizing is not the de-
ciding factor on timing; in fact, its apt to be the
wrong time.
4. Deliver the criticism respectfully and kindly. Be
humble.
Give criticism in manageable portions, and with
manageable frequency. We sometimes criticize too
often, as well as too severely.
6. Have a point to the criticism: focus on a specific
change Ahich is bothdc,iret and spo siN to
achieve.
-. Balance negative criticism with positive evaluation.
;In fact, try to outdo the negative with the positive.)
S. Criticize privately, unless public criticism is ex-
pected and agreed to by the one being criticized.
9. Whenever possible, criticize the situation or behav-
ior rather than the person.
10. Be willing to be criticized yourself if you initiate
criticism.
TO RECEIVE CRICITISM SENSIBLY:
I. Listen carefully to understand the contort and
ings of the critic. The critic maybe worm hezring.
Z. Keep ,your emotions under control so t"ey Cwit :n
tedere with vour ability to hear the crinc,.; . h:e.^.:.i�
Your defensive feciings.
3. Reassure yourself that being cnudzcd d<ks - t
mean you are worth less: it means ;hat you are
worth more, and are still pan of the human ruce--
imperfect like the rest of us. Put the cn.:icisrr in per-
spective by reviewing your positive points tat.
4. Evaluate the source of the criticism --the critic. What
is his/her angle? Purpose? Not all critics and criti -
cisms are acceptable. Discem which are worth being,
concerned about. Ignore the rest.
5. Look for value in the critic, the criticism. and the
criticism process. View it as an investment in yourself.
6..Ask the critic for time to consider the c,, iticiam.
Don't feel obliecd to automatically accept or rcjc.! it
7. Keep your sense of humor.
8. Practice asking for and considering criticism from a
variety of sources. View it as a test of char.,cter and
maturity.
9. Look beyond the critic to his/her need. -
10. Thank the critic for his/her interest in you.
