The camp will operate Monday through Friday mornings, 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, at the Enfield Elementary School. Children 3 years of age and up are eligible to attend. Arts and Crafts, Sports, Drama Activities, Science and Nature Projects are some of the programs that are being planned. A lunch program will also be available. This year's camp promises to be a good time for all. A voluntary donation is requested. In addition to the morning session that we have offered in the past, the Community Council is considering adding an afternoon camp session. Some parents have mentioned that their children can not participate in the morning camp because of problems transporting them to day care providers in the middle of the day. Since our limited recreation funds cover only the morning session, an afternoon session would have to be a fee -paying program. If we have a sufficient number of parents willing to pay between 20 - 25 dollars a week (depending upon the age of the child), we can offer an afternoon camp session from noon to 5:30. If you have an interest in this, please • write AFTERNOON SESSION on your application form (Attached on back of newsletter), and return it as soon as possible. The camp director will contact you with details. Last year the camp had a full enrollment. Be sure that your child can get in by sending in the application form as soon as possible. Late registrations will be taken on Friday July 1, at the Enfield Elementary School. However, spaces are limited and filling up quickly. Do it today! SWIM PROGRAM A new, State-wide change in Health Department regulations has made it more difficult for small community groups to obtain Health department certification to use ponds as public bathing beaches. we are continuing to work on a certifiable site for the "learn -to -swim" program in the Enfield Community. Stay tuned for the results of our efforts --and please call Krys Cail (273-2865) if you know of a chlorinated pool in Enfield that may be available for swimming lessons. The Enfield Community Council is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to organize, operate and maintain recreational, social, cultural and instructional activities for the youth of Enfield, and to involve parents and other residents of the community in the programs and meeting the objectives of the organization. To fund our programs the ECC receives money from the Tompkins County United Way, The New York State Division for Youth, The Town of Enfield, the New York State Council for the Arts through the Tompkins County Decentralization Program, Fundraising, Fees and Your Donations. Enfield Community Council meetings are held the third Wednesdays of the month. • Everyone is invited to attend. If you would like to be added to our mailing list for meeting notices, call Barb Williams at 272-2614. • ECC NEWS (CONT.) ENFILLD COMMUNITY COUNCIL PRESCHOOL It still has not been determined as to whether or not there will be a place for the preschool next September. The Firemen should be in the new firestation by then, but the town hasn't committed to taking over the old firestation. Even if the Town decides to take over the building, It would have to be upgraded in order to comply with building inspection regulations. If there are any suggestions or offers for a temporary or permanent location for the preschool it would be greatly appreciated. The ECC Preschool is a parent cooperative for children ages 2.5 - 5 years old. If you have any ideas, more information or if you would like to register your child call Carol Barriere at 277-3843. ENFILED DAY CARE REFERRAL As the Enfield Referral Aide for the Day Care and Child development Council of • Tompkins County, I can help you if you are looking for day care, or if you are interested in doing day care. Please call Carol Barriere at 277-3843. Next Newsletter... If you or your organization would like to have an article or advertisement in the next Enfield Newsletter (around Sept 88), please call Carol at 277-3843, with the name and address of a contact person. The contact will be sent a reminder and deadline date for submission to the next newsletter. Please call as soon as possible so you won't be left out. NEWS PLASH TEEN PROGRAM There have been numerous problems with the ECC's Teen Program, but we would like to give it one last try. Starting Friday, July 8th there will be a six week bowling program for teen ages 11-15. There will be a $1.00 per week donation to help cover the cost. The program will take place at the bowling alley in Trumansburg, and parents are needed to help with transportation. There will be a meeting for all teens who are interested and parents at 6:30 pm, June 15th at the elementary school gym. If You have any questions contact Debbie Ketchum at 272-0627(evenings) or Kris Cail at 273-2865. PARENTS ADVISORY BOARD The ECC would like to have a Parents Advisory Board. The Council feels that the people using the councils programs are the best source of information regarding the community's concerns about the programs and ideas for enhancing the day care needs of the community in the future. There has been discussions of a full year afterschool program, and an all day summer program. Both these programs would require a sliding scale fee with scholarships available. However, there is input needed from the parents to be sure the council determines the best alternative to meet these needs. The Council meets the third Wednesday of each month at the Enfield School. Becoming a parent volunteer would only require a small amount of time and would be beneficial to the children of the community. Please call Sonja Schreiber ar 277 9143.

FROM THE SUPERVISOR'S DESK • Hats off the the Enfield Volunteer Fire Company Inc. for the work they have done on the new fire house. Have you stopped by to see it? The firemen are finishing the inside of the building themselves! Let's hear it for the firemen! When the firemen have completed and moved into their new fire house, the question must be answered of what to do with the old fire house. Since Enfield has no community building, it seems logical to make every effort to renovate the old fire house for community activities. What these changes to the building will cost have not yet been determined. The possibility of obtaining grant money will be pursued. Other towns have achieved similar goals by working together on fund-raising and volunteer work parties... why not Enfield? If you have expertise in any area that could be useful. • please consider helping. Call me and let's talk...273-0462. Are you interested in working at the polls for ELECTIONS, PRIMARY DAYS and/or REGISTRATION DAYS? The Board of Elections will be training people this summer. Please call the Board of Elections (274-5522) or Enfield Town Clerk Scofield (273-6381) for details. At present, Enfield pays only $3.50 per hour but the Town Board is contemplating an increase. See you at the next Town Board meeting, the first Wednesday of each month, 7:30 p.m., in Town Hall. HAVE A HAPPY SUMMER, Etta Gray • Dear Enfield Resident: Did you know that Enfield has a building code? It does and this letter will try to answer some questions about the building code. What is this building code? This is actually the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. This code is a set of standards and regulation cjWerning tit construction and maintenance of private and public buildings. The code covers such things as: structural elements, space requirements, fjLt safety requirenents, plumbing, electrical, heating, and ventilation. The =-Dose of this code is to insure that all construction work done in New York State is done uniformly and to minimum safety standards. Why does Enfield participate in the NYS Building Code? The enforcement of the code is a state law. But the state gave each locality the option of doing their own enforcement. Enfield elected to take responsibility far administering the code through the building code enforcement officer that is hired by the tbwn board. Why should I conform to this code? The most obvious reason is the $250.00 fine that may be levied for non- ccmpliance. But the more important reason is the requirements that slow the • spread of fire; protects life by allowing for escapes in case of fire, safe wiring and plumbing and sturdy framework; and reduces energy through minimum insulation requirements. Another important incentive for complying with the code is the certificate of occupancy that you receive after completing your project. More and more home buyers are looking for this document. If it does not exist, it puts you the seller at a disadvantage. How much does this program cost the taxpayer? Theorectically, there is no cost to the taxpayer. The permit fees are designed to cover the cost associated with the code enforcement. If you have further questions, contact your town board or Don Barber, the Enfield Code Enforcement Officer. Please comply with the town ordinance requiring a building permit for all new construction and maintenance proiects. why not use the collective knowledge found in the NYS Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code when attesting your next construction project. It will make your place safer and isn't that reason enough? DB/jms r 1 J E is ENFIELD COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD TOWN CLERK HOURS7! Sat. 9am-12pm e a {,1 Closed July 2 and Sept 3 16W Enfield Center Rd.
