Enfield Community Currents
News from and for the Community
2013 October - December Free
"The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly
changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools."
- Henry Beston, Northern Farm
Welcome Fall -
I do mean that, although it’s a little early for the annual argument at our
house about when it’s time for the first fire in the woodstove. Still, as we go into
the season of thankfulness, we are grateful for all that we have, and are
especially mindful of those community members who lost so much in the recent
flooding. From flooded basements and the resulting loss of household
appliances and irreplaceable memories—consider what’s stored in your own
basement—to lost foundation walls, driveways and yards.
This is the type of event that makes us appreciate the volunteers in our
community; in this case, emergency responders left their homes and families at
9:00 p.m. one evening and didn’t return until the next morning. Yes, that’s quite a
physical challenge—but bringing help to those in most desperate need is also
very satisfying. There are many ways volunteers serve at a time like this, from
going to the fire station and preparing hot coffee and cold sandwiches to be
delivered to the scene to directing traffic to helping with equipment on scene to
actually going into a building. Are you up for any of it? Call the Fire Department
for more information: 272-8757.
Of course, there are many ways to serve your community, and a glance
through this newsletter will offer many possibilities: the Food Pantry, the PTA, the
Grange, and the Community Council, to name a few. Still, I know it can be hard
to carve out some extra time for a regular commitment—sometimes it feels like
we aren’t even going to make it through the week with everything we absolutely
have to do. But maybe you can help out once in while? The PTA looks for
volunteers for their annual Book Fair, and that actually feels like a break, sitting
for a couple hours and watching children select books, then helping them figure
out what they owe; call Cortney Bailey, 279 -4702. Just around the corner is the
annual Harvest Festival, where many hands literally make light work—how about
helping out at the Silent Auction for a couple hours, or in the Game Tent?
Especially if you're coming anyway, why not help out a little? Call Cortney for
that, too. You can even put a skill to work, or learn a new one with a little help
now and again with the annual quilt raffle project; call JoAnne Huddle, 272 -7115.
Don’t for get the green stuff is a way to help, too. Got an extra ten bucks?
Join the PTA—you don’t have to have children at the elementary school. Is there
even more extra money floating around in your bank account? How about a
donation to the Food Pantry? Or instead of cash, how about things just taking up
space at your place? The Grange is looking for at least 20 folding chairs—they
don’t have to be new, just in good, working condition.
Wrapping up, some congratulations are in order. In September, three
Grange members completed degree work—congratulations to Peggy Hubbell
and Sandra & George Trutt for successfully completed degrees 1-5. You can get
more details about what this means on page five. Also thanks to the Grange for
making space available for a local Ping Pong Club—don’t forget the Grange
when you need a placer bigger than your living room for a gathering!
Until next time, keep safe, take care of your neighbor, and have a wonderful
holiday season.

Sustainability in Transportation: taking steps together with Get Your Green Back
Share your steps taken in saving energy consumption in transportation & inspire others with your stories! We are
increasingly aware of the multiple costs of using fossil fuel for ourselves & our environment. From AAA, the average total financial
cost of running a small sedan car such as a Ford Focus is $15,000.00 per year. While this calculation includes costs such as
registration, insurance & maintenance, it doesn’t include community impact from carbon emissions & road repair. Check your car
costs at: http://ccetompkins.org/community/way2go/your-car-costs. Every change that you have made to decrease your energy
usage in transportation is cause for a celebration. So share your ideas & action steps taken with other folks by contacting GYGB
at: http://getyourgreenbacktompkins.org/ and you may find an inspiring story to find a step to take and save money & energy in
other areas of your household budget!
Have you wanted to take the bus, but not sure how it really works? Now Way2Go has Transportation Ambassadors available
to assist you in learning how to ride the TCAT bus, Gadabout or use Ithaca Carshare! A volunteer will work with you to show you
the ropes of riding the bus, Gadabout or using Ithaca Carshare. It’s an easy way to learn and with an ambassador along to help,
the stress is reduced. An ambassador will help plan a free trip on the TCAT bus for you or a group of friends to learn the ins and
outs of the system. For more information, go to: http://ccetompkins.org/community/way2go/transportation-ambassador-program
Your contact person is Way2Go staff Jonathan Maddison at 607-272-2292ext 199. To find out more about local
transportation choices, including great bus & bike videos, go to http://ccetompkins.org/community/way2go or call at 272-2292, or

Summer Camp 2012
I know each year I make a comment about “how fast” time goes during our summer camp season, but this year it
flew by incredibly fast. Felt like we were just starting and then we were saying good-bye. Anyway, let me fill you in on
what were the camp “happenings”:

Rochester's Strong Museum, Watkins Glen, Hangar Theater, and roller skating.

Mark for fly-fishing.
· Examples of the daily activities included:

bean bag toss games, running and tag games with and without water.

Time, Sprinklers, Sidewalk Chalk, Misc. craft activities during choice times, Primitive Pursuits, Creek exploring.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the counselors and specialists – without your daily energy, and
positive job performance this camp would not be as successful and enjoyable as it always is.
Thank you to the staff at Treman State Park for working with us and around us this season. As always it is a
pleasure to be at the Park and work alongside a group as committed as Treman's who keep up with the park as diligently
as they do.
Lastly to all the parents/guardians who have enrolled your children into our camp as first-timers and returnees –
thank you for entrusting your children to Enfield Camp. I hope your child(ren) enjoyed themselves and you had a positive
outlook and will have your child(ren) return for the 2014 season.
To all I don't see throughout the winter have a great year with wonderful experiences. Please enjoy your children
each and every day- they grow fast. To all you teens and young adults good luck at school/work and don't forget to stop
and visit us here in Enfield!!

Enfield Valley Grange
“Autumn...the year's last, loveliest smile.” - William Cullen Bryant
Approximately 13 attendees enjoyed the annual Enfield Valley Grange picnic on July 20th. Special thanks to the
Baker’s for hosting this event.
On Saturday, September 7 th , three of our Grange members traveled to Gilbertsville (20 minutes east of Norwich) to
complete degree work (Grange ritualism begins at the local or Subordinate level and at its most basic, is organized into
seven degrees, the first four of which are the seasons of the year: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The county
Grange proffers the Fifth Degree, State Grange proffers the Sixth, and National Grange proffers the seventh). We are
proud to announce that Peggy Hubbell, and Sandra & George Trutt successfully completed degrees 1-5.
The Grange upstairs is now rented to a Ping Pong Club that meets each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. If you are interested in
watching or perhaps joining please feel free to stop in.
We were sad to learn that one of our members, Mabel Rumsey, passed away. Our condolences to Mabel’s family.
The Craft Club will resume the 1 st Sunday in October (10/6) at 1:00 p.m. Those returning, and anyone else
interested, please gather pine cones and bring with you for making pine cone wreaths.
Don’t forget our Election Night Dinner to be held on November 5 th . We look forward to serving you our delicious
home cooked turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, squash, plus other fixing’s…..and especially the desserts!
The Grange is in need at least 20 new/or good used folding chairs, especially before the Election Night Dinner. If
anyone has ideas on where we might be able to purchase, please email me: daramini@aol.com
If you, or anyone that you know, is looking for space to host events such as; wedding or baby showers, wedding
receptions, family reunions, or any other event, the Grange can be a great place to host those special occasions. For
information on Grange rental please contact Sandra Trutt at 273-4884.
Please keep watch on the Town of Enfield web site (www.townofenfield.org) for updates to Grange-sponsored
events.
Community support is appreciated by joining us in our Grange meals and events throughout the year, and
contributes to our Building Fund. Of course, donations are always appreciated and can be sent to: Roger Hubbell, 301
W. Enfield Center Rd., Ithaca NY 14850. Our meetings are held on the 3 rd Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. If you
think you might be interested, please feel free to sit in on one of our meetings and see what we are about.
Please make time for yourself, and your family, by getting out and enjoying our beautiful Autumn season.
Enfield Historian, Sue Thompson
Thanks to Alice Linton, we have one more cookbook to add
to the Historians collection. I am still looking to borrow others to
copy if you want to share.
The newest cookbook is the Enfield Valley Grange No. 295,
100 th Anniversary Cook book. The Anniversary celebration was held
at the Enfield Valley Grange Hall, Sunday, June 8, 1975, 1:00 p.m.
Officers of the Grange in 1974-75 were: Master – Roger Ballard;
Overseer – Doris Specht; Lecturer – Millicent Carpenter; Steward –
Roger Brown; Assistant Steward – Dale Laue; Lady Assistant
Steward – Carol Laue; Chaplin – Elizabeth Rumsey; Treasurer –
Joyce Laue; Secretary – Warena Ramsey; Gatekeeper – George
Sonntag; Ceres – Bridgette Brown; Pomona – Charlotte Ballard;
Flora – Mildred Stark; Executive Committee – George Stark.
The cookbook starts out by telling the story of the grange, “On
the cold and stormy night of February 4, 1875, fourteen men with
their wives and four single met at the resident of John Theall and
directed by Jesse Lyon, Deputy of Schuyler county, organized the
Enfield Valley Grange No. 295. There were thirty-two charter
members and the charter is dated April 30, 1875.”
Meetings were held in Wortman’s Hall (201 Enfield Main Road).
The Grange could not continue at the hall as it was condemned for
lack of fire exits. From January 1925, they met in the Enfield Methodist church basement (7 Enfield Center Road West)
until the present Grange Hall (178 Enfield Main Road) was ready for occupancy in August of 1926.
They reported the following discussions took place at various Grange meetings throughout the years: the price of
grass seed, cow testing by a Farm Bureau manager, prices of American Wire Fencing, raising pigs, purchasing harvest
machinery, buying cement by the car load lots for 72 cents per sack with a 10 cent rebate on the sack, the outlook for
rented farms and sowing of winter wheat. There were box suppers, dances, holiday parties and addresses by well-
known speakers on subjects of particular interest to grangers.
“Over the past one hundred years (plus), Enfield Valley Grange has led the way for better community spirit and
service to humanity. Thus exemplifying the principal, “in essentials, unity; in non -essentials, liberty; in all things, charity. ”
The “Language of War” will be performed by
members of the Tompkins County Civil War
Sesquicentennial Commemoration Commission
on October 5 – Harvest Festival at 11:00 am at
the Enfield Elementary School.
Reading first-person accounts, and guided by
a narrator, members will read from letters,
documents, journals and diaries of Tompkins
County U.S. civil war soldiers in battle and their
friends and relatives back home. Diary excerpts of
a nurse from Enfield, who was called “Aunt
Becky,” describes what she saw while serving with
the 109th Volunteer Infantry. A widow and mother
of two children, Aunt Becky, known as Sarah
Graham Palmer, went on to publish her
experience in 1867. The reading brings up
questions of loyalty, desertion and what
volunteerism meant. “It also brings up the
questions of why we go to war.” Other voices
include Capt. Joseph Gregg, of Newfield, who
died at the Battle of Gettysburg. Gregg died in that
battle along with six other men from the county.

Enfield Volunteer Fire Company Chief’s Report
On August 8th the Enfield Volunteer Fire Company was just
finishing training when a call came in from one of our
members. They reported quickly rising water in the roadside
ditches of Harvey Hill Road. Our first member arriving at
Harvey Hill Road reported that water was already washing down the
roadway. We then toned out for all available staff to report to the station.
Then the calls started coming in for flooded roadways and basements.
We sent members out to shut down flooded roads and started pumping
flooded basements. Requests for assistance went out to NYSEG,
neighboring fire departments, and the Enfield Highway Department. The
Ithaca Fire Department and the Mecklenburg Fire Department assisted
with traffic control. The Newfield Fire Department and the Trumansburg
Fire Department sent crews to assist with pumping basements. NYSEG
sent a line crew to the station and assisted with investigating electrical
services hazards and reported arcing wires. The Enfield Highway
Department assisted with clearing roads that were covered with debris
so that we could get to residences in need. By 5 AM the next morning we
had traffic control and barricades at 15 locations. We responded to 22
locations for pumping basements, assessing house damage, checking
propane leaks, and assisting stranded motorists.
On September 2nd the area was hit with another storm, this time
flooding the Trumansburg area. We sent two crews there to assist with
pumping basements and members manned our station here in case
Enfield residents needed us. Later that morning we assisted The Enfield
Highway Department with clearing debris out of driveway culverts on
Harvey Hill Rd.
We had a few stranded vehicles during the storm that tried to drive thru roads with moving water crossing over them.
Always remember it is extremely dangerous to drive thru water that is running over the roadway. You do not know how
deep it is, what's in it, or even if the road is still there.
We are thankful that there were no injuries during these storms. We would like to offer a huge Thank You to all those
assisted us during these events.
We all look forward to supporting the Enfield Community; here are upcoming events:
· Every other month we host the American Red Cross Blood Drive; November 19 th will be the last blood drive for 2013.
From 1:30 until 6:30 PM, walk-ins are welcome, or to make an appointment call the American Red Cross at 273-1900.
