INCH Dear Enfield Residents, This is the time of year that we all seem to be patri- otic and have community cel- ebrations and events. It al- ways reaffirms my feelings of being proud to be an American and how we enjoy many liberties that are in our national constitution. The residents in Enfield this year attained another ma- jor area in which they can exercise a vote— at the Ithaca City School District. Now for the first time Enfield citizens all have equal voice in voting for or against their proposed school budget. Those in the Newfield and Trumansburg school district have had this opportunity for a long time. Now you need to find a candidate for the school board to represent more of the rural perspec- tive. Hopefully, by next fall, we all should enjoy having 911 for emergency services. Watch the newspapers for informa- tion about timing and the at- tributes of the system. It has been a long time coming; how- ever, I think the enhancements will be worth the wait and the frustration. Enjoy the summer patriotic activities. PIease support your local community organizations that put on these events, and above all, take time to reflect on the joys of being Ameri- can and having the ability to exercise your vote, enjoy many freedoms, and being able to have a voice in our government. Sincerely, Daniel M. Winch District 8 Representative Enfield/Newfield Address: 310 Burdge Hill Road Newfield, NY 14867 Phone: 564-7813 Submitted by Daniel M. Winch t L u 0 The Enfield Volunteer Fire Company The Fire Company has recently purchasesd with the help of the Ladies Auxiliary, 15 grave markers and a few dozen flags. These markers and flags will be put into place by Memorial Day. We hope to have, within the next two years, enough markers for all Fire Company members who have passed away. Over the years the fire company has recieved numerous memorial donations. These donations are used to purchace specialized equipment, such as our most recent purchase, the semi -automatic defibrillator. This particular purchase uis comprised of donations which were recieved from the past two years along with a grant the Fire Company received from Prudential Insurance. We hope to create, in the very near future a Memorial Book for public display. This book will indicate who the donation was made in memory of and what piece of equipment was purchased. In January 1948, the Enfield Volunteer Fire Company was chartered. A committee has been formed and plans are in the works for many events during the year 1998 for the 50 year commoration. Plans are underway to include extra fundraisers to help support those events. The chicken barbecues we had this winter were a success and we thank all who were able to support us. Our next major fund raiser is the Carnival. Yes, you read it right, the Carnival. It's back and we hope better-than-everl The dates have been set for the 25th- 28th of June. Wednesday night we will start off with a ride matinee from 6-10 PM, which is a pay -one -price ($8) for unlimited rides. We'll also offer a dinner special. Thursday night we will offer a Kiddie's Parade. Friday night we will have a chicken barbecue, starting around 5PM, with fireworks starting around 9PM. Saterday the ride matinee will run from 12-5PM, again, pay -one -price, followed by another barbecue. As in the past, Wheelock Rides, Inc. will provide the rides and concessions. Also, we understand that the weather is supposed to be excellent, therefore, mark your calendars for the 4-day spectacular! In addition, see any of the members of the Fire Company for advance ride tickets - Big discounts offeredl While your calendar is out, don't forget our 7th annual Car Show, which will be held on the 3rd of August.
