Our Mission: To enhance the quality of life for the residents of Penfield by providing a variety of beneficial recreation and wellness programs, facilities and services.

Penfield Recreation | 585-340-8655

As I write this column for the Recreation brochure— as I have for eleven years now—I cannot stop thinking about how different our messaging is given the past five months dealing with the COVID pandemic and trying to anticipate what lies ahead for the rest of 2020 and beyond. Our normal routines of the past have been replaced with new and different activities and new ways of connecting. This is also the case with most of our recreation programs, classes, and public events.

I first want to recognize our Recreation Department team for their ongoing adjustments to cancellations and on-the-fly modifications with every program…thank you to Andy, Pam, Sabrina, Paula, Anne, and Sarah. Every day is a challenge as we learn together and make decisions about what we can do to move forward and how we can do things safely with protocols for physical distancing, masking, and disinfecting.

While we are not back to 100 percent, and may not be for many more months, this team continues to be creative with plans and programming moving forward for the rest of 2020. We will all learn together as the state and county continue to adjust and modify guidelines, as schools make their plans for the fall, and as the rest of the region finds its way to reopening.

I would also like to recognize all of you, our residents, for your patience and understanding as we have had to cancel, reduce, reformat, or reschedule programs; halt then restart lodge rentals, and move through various phases of restricted access to Town facilities and resources. Our goal is always to follow public health guidelines and keep everyone safe. We know this has not been easy for anyone and we thank you for your support.

The Town Board is actively working on the 2021 Budget not knowing all the headwind we will face as this year continues to play out and details are somewhat unclear heading into next year with the pandemic. Revenue is currently a major concern for both 2020 and 2021. We recently received the second quarter sales tax and saw a $313,445.61 reduction from the same time last year. We also know that the governor and state legislature included a provision in their recent budget to automatically reduce sales tax revenues shared with municipalities across the state by $50 million starting in the fourth quarter. That revenue will be redirected to the new “distressed provider fund” that will be used to support hospitals and senior living facilities. This is a two year reduction program.

The Town Board is very concerned about tax increases at any time, especially during these universally uncertain times, and will be working very hard not to impact our residents where we can. However, this may mean extra belt tightening that will include not filling vacant positions, reductions in programming in certain areas, delaying equipment replacement, and cutting back on road and sewer projects. I will keep everyone informed on the 2021 budget process as it unfolds by way of my weekly supervisor’s updates at www.penfield.org; please make a point of following along there or on Facebook.

The 2020 Comprehensive Plan Committee is working on its final draft document with plans to submit it to the Town Board before year’s end. The Town Board will then hold a public hearing on the Plan and look to adopt it in the first quarter of 2021 or before.

The Penfield Public Library is back open for business observing all necessary physical distancing requirements, wearing masks, and disinfecting surfaces to ensure all books and other media have been properly isolated and cleaned as required. Librarian Bernadette Brinkman and her staff look forward to serving you and safely meeting all your library needs.

Finally, the Town Board has recently accepted the Shadow Pines Concept Master Plan and looks forward to utilizing all the recommendations put forth to start the build-out of this property. A special thank you to all who attended the public information meeting and offered up their thoughts and ideas on how to best use the Shadow Pines property for the broadest group of residents and visitors to Penfield.

Please do your part: wear a mask, practice physical distancing, help stop the spread to save lives. Be safe and be well!

Journey “under the sea” with Ariel and her aquatic friends in Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr., adapted from Disney’s Broadway production and the motion picture (featuring the enormously popular Academy Award-winning music and delightfully charming book and lyrics.) Based on one of Hans Christian Anderson’s most beloved stories, Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr. is an enchanting look at the sacrifices we all make for love and acceptance. In a magical underwater kingdom, the beautiful, young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home—and her fins—behind and live in the world above. But first she’ll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome Prince Eric that she’s the girl whose enchanting voice he’s been seeking. Cast members will also make new friends and learn the value of team work. Tuition covers costume rental, sets, props, show shirt, and cast party.

DEAR Programs • Is there transportation available? Yes, we have recently

DAYTIME EDUCATION AT RECREATION - DEAR

launched a new free volunteer transportation program in Penfield and Brighton called Bri-Pen Senior Rides. The service is for adults 65 and older who live or pay taxes in Penfield or Brighton. Bri -Pen also provides rides to medical appointments and religious services.

• Why do I have to register? Two reasons: 1) we often send updates about class changes or cancellations to your e-mail accounts or calls to those without access to the Internet. 2) Many classes are held in rooms where we can only accommodate a maximum number of people. Registering insures you will be reserved a spot in that program.

• Do you repeat programs? Yes, especially those classes with large waiting lists.

• What if I register for a program but can’t attend all the scheduled classes? Missing a class or two is not an issue.

We are excited to offer classes and lectures to our consortium of lifetime learners. Engaging in intellectual, socially viable cognitive activities help keep our minds sharp and alert while reducing the risk or delaying the onset of age-related concerns. Daytime Education at Recreation at Penfield Community Center has become an important staple to adults who understand the significance of this idea and would like to reshape the way they spend leisure time, meeting new and interesting people along the way. Join the national movement to learn and share life experience with others, exploring the multitude of free programs available in the following pages.

However, if you find you will miss half of the session or decide a class is not for you, please call the Recreation Department to let us know. There are often waiting lists and we would like to give someone else the opportunity to attend. PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER FOR A CLASS YOU WILL NOT ATTEND! There are expenses for each program. Running a class is based on the number of registrations we receive prior to the class beginning. If there is low interest we will cancel the program. We cannot cancel a class due to low attendance once it has begun. By registering for a class, you have told us you want us to allocate funds to run the program.

• Do I need to sign in for class? Yes. We request participants sign in when they arrive for class. This will help us keep track of participation and attendance.

• Is there a charge for the coffee? No. Coffee is complimentary.

PLEASE NOTE THAT MOST CLASSES ARE FREE BUT REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!

• I have an idea for a possible program. Do I have to be a seasoned instructor? How do I go about offering one

- Wisdom at its finest hour! All programs are at the Penfield Community Center unless otherwise stated in description.

FAQ: • Are all the classes free? Many DEAR classes are free. There

are some exceptions, for example FUNdraising events are fee based and the revenue is used to subsidize our other free classes.

• I am not a Penfield resident. Can I still attend a DEAR program? Yes! The first week of registration is for Penfield

residents but thereafter anyone can register.

• How do I take part in a DEAR class? Register online or

with a registration form. (There is a blank form in this brochure or download a form from our website www.penfieldrec.org) Classes are held at the Penfield Community Center, 1985 Baird Rd. The building schedule for the week is posted at both ends of the hall.

at DEAR? We are always looking for new and interesting subjects to add to the schedule and volunteers to facilitate them. You do not have to have experience. The DEAR program celebrates the philosophy “it’s never too late to do anything.” If you have an idea and would like to follow through with organizing one, contact Pam Gerace at Penfield Recreation. Pam is the Recreation Supervisor who coordinates the DEAR program and can be found in the Recreation Department or call her at 340-8664.

• What if I have an idea but don’t know how to go about putting it together? The DEAR Advisory Board will

help you put a program together. We also will have training sessions to teach PowerPoint and tips for using the internet.

• Can I donate to DEAR? Yes. Donations are vital to keeping our classes free. We are so grateful to all of the people who have generously given these last few years. Checks, cash and credit cards are all accepted and appreciated. Checks can be made out to Penfield Recreation (DEAR).

Classes are now listed by day of the week in chronological order.

DEAR Electronic Device Reminder:

Please silence and put away electronic devices before class begins so everyone can enjoy the class without distractions.

We ask you only use your device for class related purposes.

PLEASE NOTE! If you are not registered for a class or on a waiting list please do not attend a class! Our programs can only accommodate a maximum amount of people. Attending a class you are not registered for only creates an uncomfortable learning environment for everyone. Our policy is participants must register for classes!

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere in your everyday life, from driving your car to using your credit card, not to mention doing anything on Google, Amazon or Facebook. AI is also a loaded term whose meaning and impact are highly controversial. This 6-part course will explore what AI is and, maybe more importantly, what AI is not. We will chronicle AI’s history from the origin of the term in 1956 by focusing on four application areas where AI has achieved some notable successes: game playing, vision, human languages, and creativity. Each application area will introduce us to AI techniques that try to mimic what people do, and we will shed light on how those techniques actually work. The primary goal of the course is to disentangle what AI actually is and can do from the dense jungle of popular culture, which often overhypes, demonizes, and otherwise distorts AI’s accomplishments and potential. No mathematical, computing, or other technical skill or experience is expected.

One hundred years ago, the ultra-proper Victorian age transformed into the Roaring ‘20s. Employment, sexuality, literature, music, art, and even our concept of crime metamorphosed. This great transformation happened directly AFTER the great flu epidemic of 1917 and 1918. In this hour we look at how the 1920s changed America, transformed how we see ourselves, and made generations almost unrecognizable to each other, and talk about some of the rhymes we recognize.

Life in the 15th century changed. We continue to learn the devastating impact on the European world during and after the Black Plague.

The Dilemma of Prohibition

Women gentle and cruel. European, Asian, Middle Eastern. The only thing they had in common is they all lived before 1400 and found ways to make their own mark in history.

What got the Homo Sapiens’ ancestors out of the trees and walking upright? Modern historians credit alcohol—for rotting fruit would have passed on medicinal survival benefits. Scientists can prove alcohol manufacture started in an organized fashion about 10,000 years ago, when a fermented drink was produced from honey and wild yeasts. Whether celebrated as a gift from the gods or completely forbidden as in the US’s 18th Amendment, humanity was, is, and continues to be intimately linked with alcohol. Come today for a discussion of the substance we’ve loved and hated for all of our history.

1619—Redefining American History Rosemary Irwin Act. No. Day Date Time 466410-Q Thu Oct 22-Dec 3 10:00-11:30AM 6 classes (no class 11/26)

Fee Free

In August of 2019, The New York Times and the Smithsonian Institution created the 1619 project to convey a more complete vision of Black American’s contribution to US history. These articles won the Pulitzer Prize, inspired a podcast, and even created new school supplementary texts. They also inspired counter-narrative: the 1776 project with its own new perspectives. Historians and journalists on both sides are well-respected and multi-racial. This passionate, heart-felt debate offers no single right answer but challenges us to reconsider and affirm what America represents.

Come re-experience history from these different vantage points.

Most of us have many old camcorder and VHS videotapes, 8mm & 16mm films, cassette tapes and hundreds or even thousands of photographic prints and 35mm slides tucked away in boxes or old photo albums in our basements and attics. We may even have hundreds or thousands of unorganized digital photos now stored on our computer hard drives or on old CD disks. The other piece of this complex equation is that we all long to tell our stories - stories currently locked up in all of this old analog and digital media. We all want future generations to know that our lives mattered while we were here and alive. The problem is that it can be overwhelming to know how to translate all of the “born analog” and “born digital” media we have into meaningful and touching digital productions preserved for those future generations. Let’s face it—the future of all of our media going forward is digital and the recent pandemic has just dramatically increased the urgency for all of us to get our stories digitally produced and distributed to our family and friends.

On the 19th anniversary of 9/11 Doris Adamek will share the story of how the entire “angel town” of Gander Nova Scotia opened their hearts and homes to the passengers from 38 widebody aircraft, mostly heading for U.S. destinations. The number of passengers and crew accommodated at Gander was about 6,600.

The population of Gander at the time was fewer than 10,000 people. This remarkable story of friendship and altruism was the inspiration for the Broadway musical ‘Come From Away.’

Allen Hibner embarked on a path to find and implement his own solutions to transfer, preserve and share his family’s treasured digital memories. This five-day presentation will demonstrate the fivepart process he developed which includes; transferring, preserving, producing, publishing and propelling these digital memories into the future. Expect an in-depth look at a wide range of existing hardware tools, software tools (including some free shareware programs) and available services, in many price ranges, some of which you may want to obtain and use for your own projects. This will be a fascinating journey through the creation of your own time capsule of digital family memories before they are lost to the ages.
