Winter/Spring 2022

As we approach the end of 2021, I have had the honor of being part of Penfield government since 1975. I have been an employee, an appointed official on the Zoning Board of Appeals, an elected official on the Town Board, county legislature, and for the past twelve years I have served as town supervisor. I would like to thank all the residents, businesses, and community organizations for your support over the last 46 years. When I first came to Penfield there were fewer than 25,000 residents who called this wonderful community “home.” Now, the most recent census data shows us that the town has a population of nearly 40,000. What has made Penfield so popular and why has it been the fastest growing community in the county over the last five years? It’s because Penfield has a wonderful balance of growth, public safety, core values, governmental services, highly rated schools, successful businesses, several thousand acres of parks and open space, miles of trails, and a low town tax rate. Penfield also has many community and faith organizations that support residents and attract people from across the region, many different parts of the United States, and even the world. I am honored to have worked with many professionals over the years, both internally and externally, who share one significant common goal: each and every day they do their best to support the town and its residents. They look out for one another and work together to make everyone’s quality of life better. To all of our employees…thank you! Thank you for your support, professionalism, and for making a positive difference each and every day in Penfield; all of you are the best of the best! As I look towards retirement at the end of 2021, I am thankful for the number of positive experiences I have had along the way: property acquisition for parks and trails, development of comprehensive plans and studies, the creation of an Energy & Environmental Advisory Committee, updates to recreational facilities, support of business districts, helping to manage Penfield as one of the most financially responsible towns in New York State, and providing factual communications to keep residents informed. My parents taught me “you should always leave things better than the way you found them.” I would like to think I was somewhat successful in doing that during my tenure. I now have the honor of turning Penfield’s leadership over to a colleague and friend, Marie Cinti, to take Penfield to the next level. Marie comes into this position with an impressive resume and a commitment to serving her community for its overall benefit and betterment. Marie, thank you in advance for your dedication to the residents of Penfield.

Supervisor Elect’s Message

I hope all of you reading this have enjoyed a wonderful holiday season! Perhaps the offerings from the Penfield Recreation Department will assist you in completing one of your New Year’s resolutions or goals? As I begin my first term as Penfield Town Supervisor, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Tony LaFountain for his tireless dedication to the community. His passion and concern for Penfield are always at the top of his mind, and I am grateful to him for his support and friendship over the past few months to make this transition a seamless one. I’m sure many of you are wondering what to expect with a change in leadership. While change is inevitable, our values remain the same, and Town leadership is still dedicated to the Town’s five core beliefs: maintaining fiscal responsibility; maintaining a safe and healthy environment where all feel welcome; protecting the environment and taxpayers; standing for rightful and fair justice for all; and providing timely and factual communication. This year, we are looking to expand the level of communication between government and residents with a full-time Director of Communication. The use of social media and variety of communication channels, not to

Penfield Recreation | 585-340-8655

mention the sheer pace of communication, has increased exponentially. The Town of Penfield must keep up with this demand and so we bring this part-time position into a full-time capacity. We will also be returning to a full-time Director of Developmental Services position to oversee Penfield’s economic development. The establishment of partnerships with various groups, both public and private, is essential to our overall growth and success. While it is wonderful that Penfield is a highly desirable community in which to live, our growth has created stresses as well. In fact, I think much of these next two years will be focused on balancing the recent growth of Penfield with maintaining, and even improving upon, our quality of life and services to residents. The question, “Where can we improve?” should be asked constantly. Our community of nearly 40,000 has people from all different backgrounds and hold many different opinions, but we are all committed to our desire to see our community grow and flourish. I, and my fellow Town Board Members, look forward to serving you. Sincerely,

Marie Cinti

GENERAL LEAGUE FORMAT: The learning environment of the age divisions of the Penfield Recreation soccer program is structured to progress children through game/activity experiences appropriate to their developing physical and mental abilities. In the 6 & 7 divisions the children play the micro format. 8 and above divisions play regular formatted soccer. REQUESTS: Although we attempt to meet requests for team placement (i.e. play with friend, neighbor, particular coach), THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO GUARANTEES! No requests accepted after teams are formed in late April. COACHES: VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!! Teams are coached by enthusiastic persons who volunteer their time so that children may enjoy the sport. We need your support! If you would like to volunteer your time, please indicate on the registration form. These youth need your support and interest! Before the start of the program all coaches are invited to a coaches meeting on May 11 to discuss their league format. PROGRAM OPERATION: 6 Division: Children meet one night per week from 6:30 - 7:30 PM. Parents will receive a letter in late May with specific details of when and where the program will operate. Children will take home a program soccer ball at the conclusion of the program. 7 Division: Children meet once per week. Meeting time on Wednesdays is either 6:30 or 7:30pm, times alternate weekly. Schedule for the entire program will be available on the first meeting night. Halfway into the season, teams will begin play against one another in fun, micro format “games.” 8-10 Divisions: Children will be contacted by their coach in late May; practices will begin at that time. Teams usually play one game per week between the hours of 6:00 and 8:30 pm. Games are generally played on the designated night although some alternate play days may be necessary. Practice locations, days, and times, may vary from week to week and are held at the discretion of the coach.

*To qualify for an age group the child must be that age by the end of the program - (i.e. - a 6 year-old who will turn 7 before July 27 is eligible for the 7 age group.) Penfield Recreation | 585-340-8655

Time 10:30AM-12:00PM

Fee $60

Penfield Community Center

Meditation is not just about being quiet nor is it about the absence of challenges. It is about being the witness or observer of one’s life experiences. Through increasing awareness, we learn to transcend the ego that thrives on drama, pain and suffering. Meditation develops concentration and promotes deep relaxation, with the brain emitting alpha and theta waves. These waves have the power to calm the mind, relax the body and balance and harmonize the discordant energies within us. When we allow meditation to become a part of our lives, we are in reality reconnecting to the sacred silence that resides in us and allows the inner peace to permeate in our outer life. The sessions will include the use of the crystal singing bowls and how these sounds can expedite one’s healing and transformation.

Ordinary Americans in the Revolution Great Course Rick Gough Act # 166411-C

Day Tue

Date Time Jan 11-Apr 12 10:00-11:30AM

When we think of the American Revolution, we tend to pay attention to the iconic names—Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Franklin. It is easy to forget that the American Revolution was an insurgent movement requiring mass communication, mass mobilization, and a single-mindedness of purpose on the part of a huge number of colonists acting together, joined by a common cause. Who were these people? What drove them to participate in the unlikely attempt to defeat the world’s mightiest superpower? How did they think and act to bring about a new form of society and government? Perhaps most significantly, how did they view themselves and the stake they had in this most daring of social and political experiments?

Scoring music for films is fundamentally different from composing “art” or popular music. A good film score must fit the film and is not intended to stand on its own. That said, some film scores accomplish this goal so admirably that they deserve attention on their own. This series will present seven films with notable scores by seven different film composers. Before viewing each film we’ll point out things to listen for, and afterwards we’ll discuss why the score and its composer are significant.
