We are excited about the New Tear and all the opportunities that it brings. We say opportunities because each situation that we encounter can be dealt with in a positiTe manner. Problems can be Tiewed as challenges, stumbling blocks can be seen as stepping stones, and obstacles can be turned into opportunities. This is true for all people in all cases but for the Christian it is much core achievable. The Bible tells us that "with God nothing is impossible" and "we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us". The Christian has the framework of faith — in which all things can work out for good. RoLans 8:28 tells us, "We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who hare been called according to his purpose". At our Church we belieTe this and would like an opportunity to share with you in a personal way. You are inTited to worship with us on Sundays at 11:00 a.;.:. OUR LITTLE CHURCH IN THE VALLET Our little Baptist Church Is in the Center of our Town, If it could tell its histor,, Most folks it would astound: Originally it was across the road, before its present site, Horses such a structure moving, must have been an awesome sight: Part cf those that worship here have been members all their days, Some were baptised in the creek nearby, one of the old-time ways; The Brown and Krayniak families, loyal members many years, Faithful Warena goes South ath Ruth, but returns when Spring appears; Our Moderator, Roger Brown, is a Deacon as conducts meetings very well, with lots of dignity! An efficient Clerk and Pianist Jean is quite beyond compare, And when alternate is needed, Eva K. is usually there, The balance of the OS&Accnata,- Andy, David and Grace, :!long with Eva Krayniak, (No one can take her place) For she is helpful everywhere, and when she goes away, Goa help us with our blunders, until she returns, we prayl We are impressed with our new pastor, the Reve rend Wilson Small, And his lovely wife, Pauline, has a voice that thrills us all! Without Marnie and Greg, - will you stop and think? There'd be no heat in the church, or coffee to drink, Plus all the volunteer work that they do - along with Rhonda, Juanita. Jean, Roger and David tool !es we love our little church with its steeple tall, And inside its doors, there's warm welcome for alll Gladys Willis and Trustee, Qwtjpet. (Cburcbes • ENFIELD UNITED METHODIST CHURCH The Enfield United Methodist Church has undergone some changes in the past year, but is alive and well! We are fortunate to have Rev. Sheldon Stephenson, former pastor of St. Paul's Church in Ithaca, as our pastor now. Should anyone need his services for whatever purpose, he is available and can be reached at 387-5753. Or, you can contact one of the church members and they will see that he is made aware of your need. The year in review: Our annual spring buffet this past year was a huge success and we look forward to another successful one this coming spring. We have continued to have our regular bake sales at Willowood which the campers look forward to as shown by the successful selling of all the "goodies" each time! In June we had a service shared with the Baptists at Newhart's Lodge, followed by a dish -to -pass dinner. (Enfield sure has good cooks!) We have a dish -to -pass dinner immediately following services every 2-3 months, which is always looked forward to. Our Christmas Eve service this year was a special time of fellowship and family gathering. We had 61 worshipers, some of whom returned home from as far as Alfred, Poughkeepsie, Ohio and Michigan! Our choir continues with its music ministry. We had a former Enfielder worship with us a few weeks ago - Bob Hornbrook - who is now a Methodist Pastor in North Carolina. And, we recently had a special guest speaker, Mr. Gordon Conklin, editor of the American Agriculturist. Services are held at 11:00 a.m. each Sunday with a children's time (always enjoyed by the adults!). We welcome all to join us in worship and fellowship and look forward to seeing those of you whom we have not seen for some time as well as those of you whom we have yet to meet.

The Enfield Food Distribution has been distributing food to needy Enfielders since 1982, Approximately 100 families receive food every other Tuesday at 4:00 p.m, at the Enfield Baptist Church. A pantry also operates out of the church which responds to food emergencies. Food for the distribution is gotten from the Southern Tier Co=.unity Food Bank located in Elmira. In 1982 the food was free. Eventually the food bank began charging for the food to cover their operating expenses. The cost for purchasing this food has risen to the present 10o per pound. During 19ee over 40,000 pounds of food were distributed. The food distribution relies on private donations for funding. We are seeking help from the community so we can continue to serve the needy of Enfield.

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 governing the construction and maintenance of private and public buildings. The code covers such things as: structural elements, space req irenents, fire safety requirements, plumbing, electrical, heating, and ventilation. The purpose 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 for administering the code through the building code enforcement officer that is hired by the town board. Why should I conform to this code? The most obvious reason is the 52R0.00 fine that may be levied for non- compliance. 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 cede is the certificate of occupancy that. you receive after completing your project. fibre and more have 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? Theorect.ically, 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 pmiects. why not use the collective knowledge found in the NYS Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code when attempting your next construction project. it will make your place safer and isn't that reason enough?

Box 164, Ithaca, New York 14851 (607) 272-1616 (Crisis) Ai Why do we have to be abused? Why does abusing a woman make a man feel so macho? Why does he say he is sorry, and then turn around and abuse her again? Why do we believe him? There are so many why's when there is abuse. We don't understand what we have done wrong. We try to stick it out no matter how many times we get abused. Fear is the main factor in abuse. We love the guy and are afraid to leave. We take abuse in a lot of different ways. The man thinks we have to take it. To the man, he thi nks abusing a woman is a big joke, a joke that doesn't turn out well for the woman. He is dumb and thinks that abusing a woman is a way of life. F SUICIDE PREVENTION & CRISIS SERVICE P.O. Box 312 Ithaca, New York 14851 A woman can take so much, we just aren't supposed to be abused, so why does it happen? We just keep taking the abuse over and over. We feel like we haven't anyone to turn to. For us at times this is a losing battle. We know that the word abuse wasn't in our wedding vows. Why does the man take it on himself to abuse us then? What is wrong when he does this abuse? He has his set ways and you don't matter. The man thinks he has a reason for the abuse, but he isn't going to let you know. That would hurt his macho image. He feels like he has full control over what we do and say. If you try to change this image, he will abuse you. Like I said before, a woman can take so much and she does get the courage to leave. She seeks the help she needs. She finds that there are other women who share her problem. There is life without abuse. We just have to take each day at a time. The road ahead does get brighter. We are going to make it. Those of you with children will have problems, but they are problems that can be solved with help. It is hard starting over again. We are meeting new friends who are very caring. I am not saying that you won't have the urge to go back; I know you will. Please fight that urge. You know the hell that you have been through. We all took a big step when we left. I know that if I didn't want a happier life, I would have stayed. Hold your head up and be proud. Remember that you are a special person, so be proud of that. -- a shelter resident. 1988 Juicide PreTention again needs Tolunteer telephone counselors.
