While your recycling book around; the youth most responsible are Jim Clark and Scott Turseik. If you see them say thanks because they are turning a "white elephant" into an excellent community resource. If you are interested in using the facility for any community project or program contact Greg Kirchgessner at 272-2241 to schedule. Greg is responsible for overall building supervision as well as the maintenance. The Community Council is also interested in sponsoring a community garden project to assist the food pantry and provide fresh vegetables to local families in need. Youth interested should contact M. Kirchgessner or Dave Owens. The Community Council plans to open the Community Building to youth on a drop -in basis; once adequate supervision can be located! The plan has been approved by the Town Board and the County Youth Bureau but the contract has not been executed. As soon as this happens and assures a source of funding, programming will start. The Town has guaranteed its share of the funds so we guarantee something will happen! Look for notices in the local store and the lighted sign on the building. SWIM PROGRAM We want to thank Danny Hubbell and all the Enfield Firemen for their generous donation of the use of the pond for our swim program. We have applied for pond certification with the Tompkins County Health Department. Peter Coates will conduct the inspection and has been advised of all the concerns. We have hired Joel Switzer and Ben Grennell to lifeguard a free swim program. To date we have not located a certified WSI but we're still looking. Please call Marnie (272-2241) if you know of anyone. Swimming will start July 8 from 1 pm to 4:30 pm daily. We will encourage family swim (children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult, parent or guardian) Tuesday through Friday. Its not too early to plan on the Harvest Festival. The Community Council has set this year's dates as October 18 (for the Auction) and October 19 (for the Festival). This year's Auction Committee Chair is Helen Smith. If you have anything to donate call Helen at 273-1689 or Marnie Kirchgessner at 272-2241. Remember your trash is someone else's resource and we'll haul away any ramaining merchandise after your garage sale but we reserve the right to reject donations considered nonsaleable. #4 • • EnfIeid Fc�.d Dtatlbut lnn The En icld 0istrIbut ,on, I „_ated at the Enfield Bap+1at rhur h Enfield M=in Rd i_ e n f E•r ing Its tenth year .f giver=+ 1 The food is present l y di=_t-ibut.ed ever•,, other M n -:aY f 'or., t., 5,''p and available tc' F_nfIe1J residents who at•e in need The dtst^lbut xcm w 1 1 1 be held ne t on rune 17 and then July 1 lid -r'. :[i-'el Monda. frr I., then _'n Those receiving help for the first 'i,,,e need tr bring_ vroof that they live 1n Enfield That proof rat, be anJ letter that they have received with their ramie and address The derttands on the pantry are on a steady rise with the present .-c onontuc concerns Funding is sought from many sources tnclt_+dirn7 the fol lowing_: -- Fed-ral Goyernntent -- This used to be 4nown as the crwmmodities program and is now labelled the TEFAP program This crn,stitut_es about. 20% of the food J1stribut.ed 1n Enfield -- FEMA PHASE VIII -- This is federally sponsored and lnrludes a direct line of credit for food at the local food bank located in Elmira This constitutes about 5% of the food distributed in Enfield This also includes money to help pay for trucking the food -- '6NAF' -- New York.

Jody Clark and Cathy Delsignorie did a wonderful job with the children. The number of children participating increased in spite of a declining pre -population. We feel this is a good sign of confidence of the community in our programming. Enfield Valley Grange Local Roads and Bridges Project. All accident waiting to happen" is how Leah Carpenter. plaster Of the Enfield Valley Grange, described our bridges and roads She has appointed a roads and bridges task force to study Enfield's infrastructure Nat i-jnwide, Over 4,000 Grange Task Forces have been organized and are in the process of surveying the conditions of roads and bridges The goal is to encourage Congress to appropriate money from the Highway Trust. Fund to enable state and local governments to select, build, and maintain the "local reads and bridges" that are an integral part. of the national highway system The t.irriing is ,lust. right. The Federal -Aid Highway Program e:,pires on Sept. 30, 1991 At that time, it will be necessary to e­tend the federal gas tax and reauthorize the various highway programs that are funded by the Highway Trust Fund, which is the depository of the federal motor fuel e.,cise tar,. one additional bonus of the timing is that by 1991 the Interstate Highway System will finally be completed The b:; billion per gear that goes into the interstat.e's construction • will be available for other purposes. We must obtain part of the $^ billion, or help secure an increase in the amount of federal funding for the Federal -Aid Highway Program, which will include the identification and increased funding of a priority local road and bridge sYstenr But this goal cannot be achieved without your help. You and your neighbors can join with the Enfield Valley Grange in order to create the kind of att.ent.ion needed to force Congress to open its eyes and see this situation for what it really is - a grave threat to the safety and well being of local communities all over this country "Local Roads u Bridges", which carry people and products, are a vital part of the nation's highway system but are not presently considered to be a part of the national highway network They are important notonly to rural communities and the agricultural sector but to the forestry, trucking, tourism, and other industries as well. /.• �f the nation's roads are in rural communities. Residents of counties, towns and townships are responsible for 50 :.% of the nation's highway mileage Rural residents pay more per capita into the Highway Trust Fund than city residents, averaging $9.16 more per capita. 'Since 1980, abandoning railroads has accelerated at an alarming rate, forcing heavier weight trucks on rural roads and bridges that, we,e biult. for 1S torn trucks -not 40 ton. 7S% of the nation's bridges are on local roads, half of which are currently substandard Any one interested in pointing outany special concerns about Enfield's roads or bridges, please contact: Eva Krayniak,Lecturer, Enfield Valley Grange, .930 Enfield Falls Rd., Newfield, N Y 146E.7 0 #6 • THE CONTINUING STORY OF "DIARY OF AN ENFIELD RESIDENT" December 1894: (10th)-Helped Warren clean his wheat just 36 bushels, 36 1/2 bushel in bin in main barn was 56 1/2 bush clean wheat on his piece.

Dear Enfield Resident, Most of the business that the Tompkins County Board does is well documented on the radio news and in the local papers. I don't believe that I have to tell you more about the shortfalls of funds that we have from state funds. Also because of this, we are going to be experiencing some very tough times and many tough decisions have to be made concerning our budget that comes from local real estate taxes. Because of this, I would like to extend the offer to meet with various groups and organizations in order to receive input from you. I wish to hear about your concerns about both programs and tax increases. Please give me a call at home in the evening to set up an appointment to meet with your group or organization. My phone number is 564-7813. Thank you and have a good summer!! (:a, Daniel M.

TOWN OF ENFIELD TO ENFORCE "JUNK CAR" LAW #9 Many of you have been asking the Town Board to enforce the • "junk car" law. At the Town Board meeting held last month, the ' Town Board voted to do so. The "junk car" law is a state law but its administration is local. It has been on the books since 1965, but like many rural towns, Enfield has not enforced it. However as we grow and the character of our town changes, it has become more and more important that we all change our thinking. Enforcement will beautify the Town and ensure that everyone's property maintains its value. What is the law? It is section 136 of the General Municipal Law. We will have copies available at the Town Clerk's during office boon, when and at (name other locations), but here ae the highlights: will theTown start enforcing the law? �/ P L Who does the law apply to? It applies to anyone with two ` or more unregistered motor vehicles that are no longer intended or in �s condition for use on a public road. having two or more vehicles means you ,,o4 have a 'junk yard' that will have to be licensed. It doesn't muter whether "No sc �oco'd you consider yourself in the 'junk yard business' or noL The law says you do. `cot .(o-sue es ne np the j k yard business if you have two or more such vehicles on s�Q obi\es`ov doyot b your y But what if I just bought the property and the old 00 , ooeb vehicllready at doesn'tQW°c rthe slaw. bare ere"still [responsiblmight not eget fa rlicense�or mattereunder you e to remove oba aV �. f them. `Q oivob°' d `sal Do old farm vehicles count? No, they must have been nob 'o° a ds W°° c+9 intended for use on a public highway. An old tractor or spreader won't o NO ♦+'0dao6 y°° nob oe�Q. count, but an old farm pick-up truck will count toward the two vehicles. ♦ od0 ob 0No as�ey vO o I do have two abandoned vehicles on my property, what do I have to do to comply with the law? o� p y o��s °S�6 a od You have two choices: (1) you can get rid of them, or u least all but one, since one would ° not nigger the law; or (2) you have to license your *junk yud' with the oy �a. �,d S town. q+�y iy , Qo�� • I don't know if I �e� can get rid of them, • how would I °d°y get a license to keep them? You must apply and the Town Board holds ova a public hearing. It considers the assure and use of the surrounding Properties from the standpoint of health, safety and welfare, as well as ao Thenk you for your support, aesthetics. If granted, a license will cost $25.00 per yew, every year from now on. You will also have to pay the costs of the public hearing. In addition you will have to erect a solid &foot high fence with a locked gate around the old vehicles, or satisfy the town that hills, trees, etc. completely hide the vehicles from view. You cannot get a license at all if they are located within 500 feet of a church, school, public building or place of public assembly. In addition you must reveal on the application if you have ever been convicted of a larceny (stealing) or receiving stolen goods. The abandoned vehicles on my property were here before 1965 when the law went into effect • aren't they grandfathered? Yes, but this only changes things a little bit. You would still have to apply for the license and pay the annual fees, but the Town Board would have to approve you and the location (unless it was within the 500 feet of a church, school, etc). However, you would still have to erect the fence or satisfactorily screen the vehicles and meet any other requirements of the law, If I bave questions or think 1 might need help getting rid of the old vehicles on my property, what should I do? You can come to the public information meeting to be held. (gf =& I think my old cars might ):e valuable to a� a n igue car collector for parts, do I have to get rid of them through the Town's program? No, you can dispose of your old vehicles any way you would like, just as long as you do it before the time set by the town for beginning enforcement, or get your junk yard licensed instead.

Painful shots to the abdominal region are a thing of the past. 2. All warm-blooded animal bites are considered possible exposures to lire rabies virus. For this reason it has been mandated by New York State Public Health Law that every animal bile be reported to the local Ileallh Department. 3 Any animal bile should be thoroughly cleansed with soap and water and medical attention should be sought immediately. 4. a Tile ei Milting animal EED= be identified, if an owned pet, or captured, if a stray cat or dog or wild 5. An uncaptured wild animal or unidentified cal or dog bite may need inuncdiale ev,dti,ltion. Call tire emergency number evenings and weekends if necessary. 6. A Wittig pet will be confined for observation for ten (10) days. If no symptoms develop, there is no danger of rabies exposure for the person bitten. 7. A biting stray cat or dog will be submitted to the New York Slate Rabies Laboratory old tested for the virus. 8. A biting wild animal, if captured, or any exotic pet, such as a ferret, will be submitted for testing. 9. The County Medical Director is recommending rabies post -exposure shots for anyone bitten by certain animals which are not identified or captured. Repon all animal bites to the Health Department. 10. If any wild animal behaves in a strange manner, displays paralysis of the Mild quarters of the body, is unusually friendly or excessively aggressive: - a. Leave it alone!! Unless there is a bite involved, no agency is responsible for a wild animal: but, if there is a real threat to public safety, you can call the DEC or your local police to dispatch the animal. Otherwise, you may contact a Nuisance Wildlife Contiol person who will dispatch the aniinal for a fee, or call the SPCA. b. If you do choose to destroy the animal yourself, use a method that will not damage the head or expose you to blood or body parts. DO NOT TOUCH the animal at any time without using rubber gloves or a plastic bag. I I. If an animaf is found dead on your property and you have no reason to believe that person or pet has been in contact with its blood or body fluids. recommended disposal is by burial under 24' of soil or by double plastic bag and regular trash hauler. 12. If an aniinal is found dead in the road, contact the municipality responsible for maintaining that road, or dispose of as previously mentioned. 13. Do not feed or handle wild animals. 14. Keep all trash in covered, secured containers to discourage habitual visitation by raccoons. 15. Rabies varrhintinn for all dnos and cats is mandatory. Harboring an unvaccinaled pet may result in a S250 prnaity.
