His diverse class load includes biology, mathematics and engineering, Dan rn callin Flerlage: `This is Y g By FRANKLIN CRAWFORD Jounial Staff Dan Flerlage has always been an alternative kind of guy. So it's not surprising that he found a niche teaching biology at ACS. "This is my calling," he says. "I like doing what I'm doing." Flerlage, 42, was recruited to play football at Cornell University in 1969. He received an engi- neering degree and then "dropped out of soci- ety," he says. During the '70s, Flerlage lived in a collective in Erin. He grew his own food, experimented with alternative energy systems and generally had a good time. But something was missing. "I thought, `This is cool, but what about shar- ing some of these ideas?"' He wound up with a master's in elementary and environmental education from Antioch College and became a biology teacher. He was hired at ACS in 1983 and helped move the school to its preseni location on West Hill. It's been a learning experience ever since. "I've been taught an incredible amount about teaching and learning," Flerlage says. "The stu- dents drive a lot of what's going on here.

Armstrong, 26, of Lot 21 thing's up for discussion, things are constantly evolving — getting set in your ways is a ludicrous concept here because it's such a dynamic situa- tion." Flerlage, like most ACS teachers, wears sev- eral hats. Besides teaching biology, he assists an algebra -,physics -trigonometry class, teaches alternative engineering and even a human sexu- ality class, among other duties. Whatever he's teaching, Flerlage urges stu- dents to think creatively, to understand that there's more than one way to solve a problem - and that learning is their own responsibility. Some students get a little exasperated. "They say, `Couldn't you just tell me the answer or just give me a problem and let me solve itT " he says. "Planned frustration is an integral part of good teaching. We want stu- dents to be actively engaged in the process of their own learning." If they really desire quick answers, Flerlage will hand students textbooks — which are most- ly used as reference materials. "After a couple weeks of reading on their own, they usually are glad to come back," he says.

The Ithaca Journal Tuesday, April 6, 1993 Postal union rep hit with -; a trespassing charge By KEELEY WEBSTER JoumalStaff Postal union representative Michael Oates was hauled away from the downtown Ithaca post office in handcuffs Monday morning — in another of his ongoing battles against his bosses. "It was pretty upsetting. They handcuffed me and took me out past my co-workers and the customers I work with every day," said Oates, who was charged with trespassing and has faced suspension from his job as a' postal clerk twice before since 1989. Monday's arrest by Ithaca city police was brought on by Oates' recent suspension for absenteeism. Oates was notified three weeks ago of the suspension, due to start Monday — the same day he decided to put in an early visit at the office, he said. Ithaca postal officials contacted Monday wouldn't comment on Oates' arrest, but only' confirmed "a postal employee not authorized to be on the work floor" was arrested by police. Oates said he was there to go through union files he keeps in the building as president of the American Postal Workers Union Ithaca local. "While I was researching the files, -the supervisor ordered me out of the building," he said. Oates said he'd just made a cuof coffee when superviso . " sked him to leave. When Oates refused to leave the building, Polufals- ki called Ithaca police. "I didn't think it was that big of a deal, I was just having a cup of cof- fee," Oates said, arguing retired postal workers often stop for coffee. Polufalski wouldn't comment on the incident, but police confirmed the supervisor asked to have Oates removed, and that Oates was arrested on charges of trespassing. Monday, Postmaster Carl Ander- son would only say, "a postal employ- ee on the work floor wasn't autho- rized to be there. The person was asked to leave. When he refused, we asked the local police to remove him."

Threats have been made to me. Ther postmaster told me, if I keep talking; to people, that I'm going to be fired." -, Union president since 1986, Oates took the lead in a successful 1989 fight against a planned shift of services to Elmira and,a reduction in local staff. More recently, the postal service reduced services at the downtown Ithaca office, after opening a new ; main office in Lansing — .a move opposed by Oates and even criticized by Ithaca's Common Council. At the next Planning and Development Committee meeting, set for 7;30 parr. April 19, there will be a public hearing ' on the cutbacks. Oates said he isn't worried about his recent suspension — he was sus- pended in October 1989 and again in December 1990, when he also was removed from the building by police. v But in 1991, the National Labor' Relations Board ruled he'd been ley gally suspended in 1990 for union activities. " Police issued Oates a ticket and_ released him on his own recog– nizance. He's scheduled to appear irZ city court on April 14.

Wait Smithers, University Solid Waste Manager by Susan F. H. Hollern Photo by Doug Hicks It's all in the news; Recycling, saving Mother Earth, being responsib!eindvidu- als in making a difference in the efforts of saving our home, earth. I had the opportunity to speak with a gentleman who is trying very hard to make a difference at Cornell University with the Solid Waste Management program. Please say hi to Watt Smithers, University Solid Waste Manager at Cornell! Wait has been with the University fort years, two years in this position. His re- sponsibilities include trash removal at all the academic areas, 149 locations to be exact, recycling paper pickups at 75 dif- ferent locations, 42 locations for cardboard pickups and 10 locations for bottles and cans. In addition, he is responsible for collecting the University phone books every fall. "1 handle the day to day operations of making sure that those materials get picked up. A large part of my job is to steadily expand those programs. The card- board:pickups are new Within the 'last year," ex- plains Walt.: . Time and time again, Walt sees departments being asked to do more with less. "It's tough ask- ing people. skingtpeople. to do some- thing they haven't done before. But people really have. a great, attitude. about recycling.. People want to recycle: The big gest thing that we,try to do is give people the op- portunity to recycle. Once they have the ball in their court, they gen- erally do -a great job," -. says Walt. There is a very small 'percentage of people that resist the opportu = nity to recycle. "Recy-: acid isn't a Hard science. problem, It is not some- V thingAhiat;needs. `to be:. solved with engineering formulas- itys:a social problem. k's really a matter of dealing with people's altdu i Once people realize it's good for tfterivand for the' University, the:conSus istospitch in;and help one; .another:" Waft has a very optimistic outiook wfth therecycling effort."One person can make" a big difference. Nobody can do it all on their own. It takes the cooperation of a lot Of different people to make things like this work. A_lot of what I do is try to.make sure that people have what -they need to make it work." Waft certainly.,is ,dedicated to making the recycling effort work here at Cornell. A pilot project was started in the fall where the solid waste management department took some cans and dedf- sated them to bottle and can recycling. Ascetically, they wanted the atmosphere of these cans to look inline;with other containers on campus..Stickers were put on all four sides of the special cans to give people the opportunity to recycletheir bottles and cans. "It showed that people wanted to recycle their bottles and cans because they were always sitting on top of the garbage containers. But what ended up happening was that people weren't reading the stickers and trash was being thrown into the recycling can. So, working with the Cornell Greens,.we devised an- other way of developing a prototype that made it obvious that this particular con- tainer was to be used only for bottles and cans, plus we changed the sticker to read 'Please; recycle cans and bottles here'. So far, it's worked." Today; there are a little over a dozen of these types of con- tainers on campus. ' Some departments on campus and Cornell Dining are working with Waft in finding locations where they can take their non-refundable bottles for recycling. They have been fortunate to be able to work with a couple different outside vendors that come to campus and pick up glass containers and metal containers. While sitting and talking with Walt, I decided to ask him THE QUESTION: Do you recycle at home? A slight grin came over his face mixed with thoughts of how he was to tackle this ever-present ques- tion that we ask ourselves. "We recycle and "compost at home and also are in- volved in waste-reduction/avoidance ver- sus recycling. IVs -better yet not to have items to dispose of in the first place. Some of our. purchasing,decisions at home, are. based On not having anything to throw,. out having something That isn't hard td ` throw out, the amount of space some- thing Will take to'thMw'out, etc. We ask - ourselves'what:are the implications of buying what we buy', 'is there less pack- aging to dispose of. 'can it be recycled.' etc." At one point during the interview, Waft showed me a huge display of various bat- teries that he has housed in his office for quite some time. "People throw these out and may think that the weight is insigni- cant. But if ft's a mercury cell, that could eventually leak mercury into the ground water. So, I'll just hang onto this collec- tion until a time comes when it all can be recycled." Waft is an outdoors man. He enjoys trout fishing, hiking, cross-country Skiing. deer hunting and cutting wood. Walt, and his wife of three years, June, met each other while working at Cornell! June works in the Chemistry Department - I asked Waft to give me some final thoughts about the job he performs for Cornell University. As he pondered the question, he looked outside at the sun as its splendid rays of radiance projected off the glittering snow and smiling, he said, "I really enjoy working and interacting at Cornell. Trn willing to do whatever has to be done to make our recycling effort an important part of everyone's life here at the University. ff i can encourage every- one to try and make a difference, it will, undoubtly, make our planet and our envi- ronment,a much nicer place to live in.' t couldn't agree with Walt more:' We 'can make a difference, Congratulations, Walt, as this week's Employee Spotlight! - #38-93 The Ithaca Journal Tuesday, April 13, 1993 Nicolle Elaine Carman and Jackie Darden Carman — Darden Steven and Lynne Teeter, of 119 N.

Rep. James Mason (R - Ulysses -Enfield) has announced he will not seek re-election to the seat he has held . . since 1978. Tues- day, board Chair- man Robert Watros (R -Dry- Mason den) said he'll retire in December after 20 years. "It has been a privilege to have served on the board these past 16 years, and while I have enjoyed the challenges immensely, it has taken a tremendous amount of time and ener- gy,", Mason said. "My family and my employer have been very forgiving, but enough is enough." Mason, 53, of 102 Larchmont Drive, Trumansburg, was chairman of the county board from 1988-1991. He started a committee to look at long- term plans for Tompkins County Air- port, which eventually led to the pre- sent terminal expansion project.

During his tenure, Mason's committee wrangled with inadequate facilities at the old jail and oversaw completion of the new public safety building. Rep. Mary Call (R -Ithaca -Lansing) called Mason an authority on county public safety issues. "He's direct, honest, everything a politician and legislator ought to be," Call said. "It's a big loss to the board that he's not going to run." Mason, who works full time as Cor- nell University's assistant director of media services, said his employer has been very lenient in allowing him to do county business on company time. But with county issues demanding more and more of his attention, it's_ time to step down, he said. Mason, who is married with three children and two grandchildren, offered some advice for board hope- fuls. "Be prepared to spend a great deal of time at this supposedly part-time job," Mason said. "Once you're elect- ed to public office, you're automati- cally assumed to be an expert in every conceivable field:' All 15 four-year seats on the county board expire Dec. 31.

The Ithaca Journal Monday, May 3, 1993 Jackier builds consensus, a fine asset to any board Perhaps because of her quiet com- petence, little has been said about Lynne Jackier, Ithaca school board candidate. I have come to know her as a human rights commissioner. She is always prepared and is able to build consensus and cohesiveness, a talent surely needed by the current board and administration. Jackier has incredible sensitivity to the multifaceted issues facing the school board and an impressive back- ground of community service. She is an incredible asset to any board and we are fortunate to have her to elect to the Ithaca school board. In this year of choice, vote for Lynne Jackier.

Veteran board member Daniel M. Winch, 51, will seek a third term rep- resenting District 8, Newfield and Enfield. Pat Driscoll, 59, a retired professor of human services at the State Univer- sity of New York College of Technol- ogy at Utica and at the Syracuse Uni- versity School of Social Work, will run for the District 10 seat, representing northeast Ithaca and Lansing. The Town of It#raca GOP Committee endorsed her at a meeting Tuesday. Driscoll's eyeing the spot being vacated by Republican board member Mary Call, who isn't seeking re-elec- tion. Winch cited his eight years on the board, including two years as chair- man of the Human Services Commit- tee. his work on a panel overseeing the creation of the Ithaca -Tompkins County Transportation Center and his membership on the airport and budget committees. He said he wants to help improve cooperation among local governments and help residents wade through the red tape of dealing with the public sector. "Quite frequently, people have problems, and I enjoy helping them get those problems resolved," he said. While many residents have criti- cized the board's planning of how it gets rid of solid waste, the situation could have been much worse if it wasn't for work the board has already done, said Winch.

Driscoll, who lives at 214 Texas Lane, Town of Ithaca, said some county services ought to be consoli- dated. As examples, she said there is duplication in human services, and she suggested the Sheriff's Depart- ment could have an ambulance ser- vice transport persons suspected of being dangerous because of a mental illness, rather than pay deputies to do the job. "I am very concerned over the potential 20 percent property tax hike this fall, and_ feel that we have to live within county revenues and not increase debt considerably," Driscoll also said.

"People will say they can't get rid of them," said Town of Lansing Code Enforcement Officer George Totman_ But last month, the Town of Lans- ing and two town landowners reached an agreement on a junkyard permit. - This. Totman said, could serve to con- solidate the wrecks now decorating the town's roadsides and fields, and make it easier for residents to comply - with the law. Phillip Munson Jr. and Sr., of Munson Road, were granted the per- mit, which allows them to go to Lans- ing residents' homes and haul off the old vehicles at no charge to their property. The wrecks, however, must be free of oil, fluids and gasoline. Once enough have accumulated, the cars will be sold to a crusher, Totman said. And not only is enforcement of junked -car laws difficult, but Totman said a clouded definition makes the situation even more sticky. New York state building code guidelines, he said, ` don't specifically draw the line at where a car becomes a "junked vehi- cle." "What I call junky, you may not. It's a touchy subject," he said. The Town of Lansing defines abandoned vehicles as non "tum -key" cars. In other words, if it doesn't start and run, it could be classified as rub- bish, Totman said. Other towns use vehicle registration records to deter- mine if a car is inoperable. But not all residents believe in these definitions, or disagree with them. "Some people say (the cars) are classics," said Caroline Town Supervi- sor Robert Spaulding. 11 Despite problems with the defini- tion, town code enforcers say they have actively begun pursuing violators this year. Ulysses Code Enforcement Officer Alex Rachun said the town has issued about 65 notices of non-compliance for abandoned vehicles so far this year. In Newfield, one or two warnings are issued each week, amounting to about 100 annually, while in Dryden, between 50 and 60 notices have been mailed. Although the number of junked cars in Ulysses seems to have dimin- ished, it usually costs monev to remove the vehicles. Because of this, it -s progressively more difficult to get rid of the old wrecks, Rachun said. Abandoned vehicles. Rachun said, serve to symbolize the difference in code enforcement between some of the countv's towns. He said in areas with little zoning enforcement, such as Enfield, the cars are much more prevalent. "You know exactly when you cross .into the Town of Enfield from Ulysses," Rachun said. "Those cars (in Enfield) are all leaking oil and gas into the water." And according to Enfield Town Supervisor Jean Owens, chances probably are better that a junker will remain idle on land in Enfield. . "I'm'probably softer on the issue. We're not actively enforcing it," she said of the town's junked car ordi- nance, passed in 1990. "This has kind of taken a back burner." Instead, Owens said the town relies on residents to voluntarily remove the cars, adding she has had luck encouraging violators to talk with local scrap dealers about disposal options. Although she couldn't estimate the number of residents who violate Enfield's ordinance, she said people often don't comply with it. - The town board is planning a spring cleanup, Owens said, in hopes of removing rubbish and junked cars from private property. - Although Spaulding said the Caro- line town office receives complaints on the aesthetics of the junkers, attempts to take collectors to court have proven costly and ineffective. When complaints are filed, Spaulding said he or another town board member tries to meet with the alleged offender to fix the problem. But Spaulding acknowledged' it doesn't always work. "Beating people with a stick," he said, "just makes the hair on -the back of their neck stand up." The Ithaca Journal Friday, May 28, 1993 Enfield sets policy on cemeteries The Enfield Town Board has - adopted new policies and fees for town cemeteries, according to Town Supervisor Jean Owens. Opening and closing a grave will cost $250. A fee of $150 for on-going care is due at the time of the lot reser- vation. The fee will be set aside in the Enfield Trust Fund, an interest-bear- ing account used to offset the costs of on-going care. Reservations made before Jan. 1 of this year are exempt from the care fee.

When he replied that he had not, I described to him the scene in which Kevin Costner's character stood in' a tranquil cornfield, tilting his head as he heard a voice. As the soft Midwestern breeze stirred the cornstalks, this supernatural voice said "If you build it, they will come," referring to a baseball field and the ghosts of long -dead players it would. attract. "Did you hear a voice too, Paul?," I asked him. "Did it say 'If you build it, they will ride'"? Voice or no voice, he built it, and they were riding. This was no tranquil cornfield: this was a small but full-fledged motocross track, complete with big-time, 30 -foot jumps and wicked corner berms. "Paulie" and his friends were playing in the dirt., all right. At about 40 mph, which is a lot faster than it sounds on such a small track. Airborne, sideways and every which way butt slow.

"I have a story for you," he said. � "There is a kid in the area who is r: absolutely, without a doubt destined for national prominence in the sport of motocross racing." Bill sounded convincing.

Paul Number Two says that his ultimate goal is "to get spon- sored by a big -name company and to be number one at the Nationals." He adds: "I know there's a lot of competition, but that's what I'm shooting for." To keep a competitive edge year- round, the spindly speedster began "ice riding last winter, with big metal studs on the tires." I wondered if he had time tc do anything else.

"I practically live on my bike, and I'm gone almost every weekend." somewhat (he finished 4th), but he knows that it is only by riding against stiffer competition that he will reach the goals he has set. He and his father were both encour- aged by his 21st place finish at the Loretta Lynn National, held in `o Tennessee last year. Paul held his own against riders with much a more experience, and was, ac - 'g cording to his father, "riding top UJ ten speeds; he just crashed too o much." I asked Mini -Moto -Man a just how many times he did crash, and he said "three times in the first moto, twice in the second and not at all in the third." I pictured myself falling off a motorcycle at 40mph in the midst of several dozen other screaming bikes with big knobby tires, then climbing back on and going full -throttle again. Ah, to be 11 years old. Such dedication has begun to pay big dividends. Paul cleans up in this area on a regular basis, and was in fact named "Rider of the Year" for the entire region in 1992. As the field of riders grows larger and faster, as it did at the Steel City Regional in Pennsylvania, Paul's grip on first place slips The Carpenters' house has an area set aside for some of Paul's trophies. There are about three or four dozen of them, with the other half being in the garage, along with a half-dozen motocross bikes that have been put out to pasture. It would seem that it might be difficult to maintain any sem- blance of modesty when sur- rounded by trophies that are, quite literally, taller than you are, but the kid's not as one-dimen- sional as one might fear. He was as polite as he could be, but as my visit dragged on a bit, he said, "Hey Dad, I gotta hit the shower! The party starts in a half-hour!" He said goodbye, then scooted like a waterbug out of the room. His father just shook his head and took a deep breath, apparently accustomed to life in the fast lane. Maybe that's why he drives a big, plodding bulldozer all week. 'We all need some balance in our lives. 0 E w -- - -- -- - -- ----- ------ ---- — ODYSSEY PUN [CATIO:tiS/ MAY 26. 1993 Meskill Seeks Co. Board of Reps Seat For Ulysses/Enfield Trumansburg's Peter Meskill has decided to make a bid for a seat on the Tompkins County Board of Rep- resentatives, he announced at a press conference on May 21. The Democrat will run for the seat being vacated by Republican James Mason, also from Tru- mansburg, who represents the Town of Ulysses and a portion of the Town of Enfield. - Though Meskill says he's been thinking about seeking a seat on the county board for over a year, he says he wouldn't have run against Mason. "I don't necessarily agree with everything Jim says, but we're friends. We've fought fires together for years, and that creates a special bond between people," says Meskill. Meskill's announcement came the day after the Ulysses and Enfield Democratic -Committees met to confirm their support for his bid. Judy Cone and Patri- cia Dougherty, chairs of their respective committees, also attended the press conference, held at the Stephen H. Craig Fire Station in Trumansburg. Meskill, who is a licensed real estate broker and was recently named salesmanager for Patterson Real ,. Estate in Ithaca, has been a Village of Trumansburg trustee for more than three years. He was deputy mayor for the past two years, and has served as water, sewer and Department of Public Works commission- er. As trustee and deputy mayor, Meskill says, "I have concentrated my efforts towards strong budget reform and awareness. I have diligently pursued the establishment of reserve accounts, the coordination of equipment replacement schedules with department heads, and an effort towards consolidation of services with other governments. These types of budget reforms, while not glorious and attention getting, are what I perceive as the pri- mary obligation and responsibility of government to its people. In light of the economic- climate that we face, it is vitally important that the county government evaluates the real issues affecting the people of this county and proceed in a prudent and fiscally conser- vative manner," says Meskill. Me government needs to be more accountable to #52-93 the people," he says. "The county representatives' accountability has been fair at best." In fact, anyone who's seen Meskill in action at a vil- lage board meeting is aware of his keen sense of fiscal responsibility. Meskill is always looking for innovative ways to save taxpayers money without jeopardizing services. He thinks his budget and finance skills could be put to work to make the county run more efficiently. "I don't like the inefficiency I see in county govern- ment," he says. He doesn't understand why the coun- ty has built a new Solid Waste Management office building without first deciding what will be done with the county's garbage in the years ahead. "It's like putting the horse before the cart.' He also says he'd like to see the county share resources with the towns it -serves. For example, on a local level, he commends the Town of Ulysses and Village of Trumansburg for sharing expensive highway equipment with each other and with other municipalities. "It has become increasingly clear that the county legislature needs to concentrate its efforts on cooperating with all local governments in order to avoidduplication of services, and explore every avenue to make delivery of services more efficient wherever possible." Another area of concern for Meskill is the county's Department of Public Safety — the Sheriff's Depart- ment. epartment. "For most rural residents, the Sheriffs Depart- ment epartment is the police," he says. He is disturbed that the number of sheriff's deputies on patrol at any given time has decreased. `There used to be 23 officers on patrol and now thea are only 15." He said he would reserve judgment on alleged inefficiencies within that department until he reads the much -publicized report. Though Meskill has strong opinions on some mat- continued atcontinued on page 4 Meso continued' The Ithaca Journal ?95 3- 93 ters, he says he understands the necessity to compro- Wednesday, June 9, 1993 mise at times.

Pulling off the road, onto the dusty shoulder, tires crunch gravel and the.family steps out in flipflops and bathing suits and fills up paper bags to take to the lake for dinner. For 26 years, Eddydale Farms on Route 13 has been part of this magical ritual. Their main attraction is sweet corn, picked fresh three or four times a day from early July until the first frost. They also use the deep soil to grow broccoli, peppers, cucum- bers, kale, watermelon, cantaloupe, honey- dew, zucchini, squash, pumpkins, U -pick potatoes and fresh herbs. Stepping into Eddydale Farms is like stepping into the past. The whole venture began in 1966 as a card table offering a handful of vegetables, set out by a dairy farmer named Alfred Eddy. After a year, the table graduated to a roadside wagon and by 1983 had eased into a full-scale produce business. That's when the Eddy family built the store customers stop at today. Proving more profitable than their dairy operation, six years ago Alfred auctioned off his cattle and once and for all embraced the growing, buying and selling of produce as the family legacy. A fourth generati=on farmer, Alfred car- ries on the tradition started by his great- grandfather Edger Eddy. With a com- manding presence arxd a sharp no-nonsense outlook — he calls Perot "his man," is baf- fled that some custoirners can take so long to pick out the "perfect" tomato and ques- tions the coming of Wal-Mart — Alfred is nonetheless a very personable, receptive Mildred Eddy (far right) not only raised vegetables, but a family; (L -R) Stephen Eddy , his daughter Elyse and his wife, Gain. man. He tells the story of his ancestors with fondness, pride and a dash of humor. Great-grandfather Edger raised vege- tables on land near Bostwick Road west of Ithaca, dealt in horses, chopped wood at the age of 95, and graced the land until the age of 102. Edger's son Fred was the family's first commercial farmer, keeping dairy cows. and raising apples and hay for cash. Fred's land is still farmed today by Alfred's brother Nelson. Alfred's father Clayton Eddy was a dairy farmer who raised veal calves and sweet corn, in the days when "downtown Ithaca was just two stores," according to Alfred. At the age. of 8, he and his brother used to operate the tractor, but didn't know how to shut it off. "Mey would have to get some- one to meet us at the other end of the field," he remembers. Alfred's own son Steve, who today at 29 helps his mom and dad run Eddydale Farms, is self-assured and friendly like his father. At an early age, Alfred started taking Steve to the Syracuse Regional Market, let- ting etting the boy sneak in early to get certain scarce items. "-It was great," says the fifth generation Eddy. "I felt so grown-up walk- ing around on my own." Visiting the store during late spring, flats of pink and red flowers wink out front. Inside, large wooded crates hold winter - stored potatoes, onions, cabbage, apples and five kinds of winter squash. Long-time employees like Adeline Niemi will gladly ring up your purchases, and, if the news- paper happens to be open to that page, read your horoscope. In May, the planting commences when United Parcel Service drops off the 50 - pound bags of seeds from Harris, a large commercial seed distributor in Rochester. From another company called Stokes, Eddydale purchases a choice variety of sweet corn seed. "It's taken a little longer to start the planting this year," explains Adeline, "because of all the rain." Until the farm's first spring harvest, which will be rhubarb and strawberries, all other categories of fruits and vegetables 5 stocked here come from Pennsylvania's i Amish and Mennonite communities, from Leola and Mifflenburg respectively, like the spinach being hand -harvested now. Both c the Amish and Mennonites use very little CL pesticides, and harvest mainly by hand, and for this reason their produce is a preferred choice on this stand. Otherwise Eddydale vends in -season crops from other New York State farms, California or South America — whatever is available twice weekly when the far-n's 45 - foot tractor trailer goes to the Philadelphia Regional Market. Some of what the family picks up will be sold at the stand but much is supplied to Ithaca restaurants, schools, fraternities and sororities, the Elmira prison, even daily deliveries to Tops and Wegmans. So that no truck makes an empty run to the Amish and Mennonites, Eddydale is able to bring bananas, oranges or whatever those com- munities cannot raise. "I love to put things together and make things work," says Alfred Eddy about hav- ing built up his produce trade. "You have to find what you're best at and go for it." ■ The Ithaca Journal Thursday, June 17, 1993 MELVIN E. HIIM Melvin E. Hull, 90, of 830 Hec- tor St., died Tuesday, June 15, 1993 at his home.

"That's a certainty," Beck said. -There isn't a person that flies that hasn'tiong as you accept the fact that there's a good possibility you're going to wreck, you're in a lot better shape." The unpredictible winds kept club members from bringing out the two - pilot radio -control unit. Called the "buddy box," the unit is designed to teach new pilots and le[ guests get the feel of flying. The gusts also convinced Jim Del - signore to ground his stunning acro- batic biplane, the one with a sunburst of blue and gold painted on the trip wings in honor of Ithaca College. "My sister was in college when I built it. and she inspired me to do it in IC col- ors," he said. Club members often hold competi- tions. They draw lines on the runway and see who's best at landing in them. They see who can drop ersatz bombs closest to a bull's-eye. And they play chase with their planes, trying to cut the streamers of a rival's craft.

The engine stalled in mid-flight on Brent Armitage's Super-Qhipmunk stunt plane. He managed to get his craft under control, but during his runway approach a gust blew it behind the trees. Cushioned by touchdown in tall brush, it suffered only minor,damage. "They've all got a natural glide to them," Armitage said modestly. Other pilots weren't so lucky.

The Ithaca Journal Tuesday, June 22, 1993 Enfield asks I residents to' get rid of junked cars ', By FRANKLIN CRAWFORD Journal Staff ENFIELD — The Town of Enfield, is continuing to take a softer approach' in getting residents to comply with the state's junked -car law. i The Town Board is requesting thaf Enfield residents with two or more junk cars on their property have them removed by local junk -car salvage businesses. Most of the cars can b removed free of charge, said Jean Owens, town supervisor.' -. "We're looking for voluntary _eom= pliance," Owens said. "There ares those who want us to completely enforce the law and there are those( who are adamantly against enforcing) the law." Owens herself has junk cars on her -- property — but not for much longeri1 she said. "I have a few and they're on the way down the road," Owens said! "One of problems is there are" soi many facets of discussion of the junk -1 car issue. I'd like to stay out of the' personalities and look at the issues." ' Among those issues, she said, are whether some cars would be antiques, — and the fact that some people use the cars for parts. The Town Board's recommenda- tion for voluntary compliance is just one response to a growing anti-junk- car ntijunk--car sentiment in Enfield. Enfield resident Shirley Hubbler thinks the town is being too easy on junk -car law violators. At the June 2► Town Board meeting, Hubble and other residents submitted a petition with 150 signatures to the town board,' demanding they take action. "The town is dragging its feet,"t Hubble said. "We went to them a year, ago about this and they did nothing.l Nobody's paying attention to the law."1 A 1992 state junked -car law forbids more than two inoperable vehicles on personal property in the Town of 1 Enfield. Copies of the law are avail- able at the Enfield Community Build- ing on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., or from the town clerk during scheduled hours. t X60-93 The Town Board's recommenda- r tion went into effect on June 11, and the town's Junk Car Committee along l with local salvage yards will help mon- -, itor voluntary compliance, said Pat Dougherty, who serves on the Junk Car Committee. "Personally, I'm anti -junk car," Dougherty said. "My big concern is with ground water. We've got thou- sands of cars here dripping fluids into the ground." Dougherty said Enfield is the only' town in Tompkins County that doesn't have a formal cleanup procedure. I The Junk Car Committee will meet' on July 28 to judge the success of its recommendation and to discuss the dirty details of enforcing the state law. Any -further suggestions must pass review with the Town Board. Removing junkers Residents with one or more junked cars on their property can have them removed by one of the following salvagers: • Ken Benjamin: 273-4573 • Jim Kastenhuber: 564-9032 • Charley Sinclair: 273-4573 • Dick Teeter: 272-3559 The Ithaca Journal Wednesday, June 23, 1993 Tale of theft ends happily A terrible thing happened at Cass Park, Thursday, June 17. Eight-vear- old Nat, who has a leaming disability, put his -unnamed glove in the bushes near the tree he was climbing. It was stolen. The parents of the other Enfield Tarantulas were very supportive, offering their extra gloves. One parent even offered to buy a brand-new glove. A special thanks is due to Josh Ross who keep his eves and ears open to find the boy who took the glove.
