Message From The Director & Supervisor

Director’s Message The summer program season for any recreation department is a busy time of the year. Here in Penfield it is no different!

All of the programs, activities, and special events make the summer months pass by all too quickly! I often share with people that, unfortunately, we oftentimes do not have a chance to enjoy as much as we should.

Our summer season is always too short and there are so many things we want to do. It’s amazing to look back on all that has taken place in the last few months. I thought, since I had an opportunity, I would share with you just some of the activities the department has been able to provide over the past several months, and hopefully you have been a part of it!

• Updated and overhauled the seasonal brochure.

• Bri-Pen Senior transportation program began in May. • Partnered with Penfield MCBR (Monroe County Baseball Region) to provide field space for the Penfield teams.

• Pen Rec Mile Swim program was offered in partnership with Wegmans.

• Hosted the GRAPE (Greater Rochester Area Partnership for the Elderly) “Aging with Options Expo”.

• Penfield Community Victory Garden sold all beds for the 2017 season.

• Hosted several DEAR FUNdraisers including extremely successful “Dancing with the Stars” & “Dinner and a Movie”.

• Started a new Outdoor Nerf Battle program at Rothfuss Park with Rochester Foam Dart League.

• Good Neighbor Day event had 150 volunteers who donated their time to help Penfield residents with light yard work and spring clean-up.

• Passport to Play was introduced to the community, highlighting the Playgrounds in Penfield.

• Music series began at Penfield Amphitheatre- participation has been positive including: Food Truck Rodeo with 1,000 participants and ZBTB with 1,000 participants.

• New community event offered “Rollin’ into Summer”.

• Construction has begun on JACK’s Place playground at Rothfuss Park.

• Annual Independence Day event was successful despite the wet conditions for the parade. The evening was perfect for the music and firework show at Harris Whalen Park.

As we say goodbye to another summer, it goes without saying that the residents are the ones who make this community special and unforgettable. Before the last few days of summer disappear, I hope you have an opportunity to experience all that Penfield has to offer.

All the best!

Christopher K. Bilow

Supervisor’s Message The summers always seem to go by too quickly, and as I prepare this fall message I realize that preparations are being made by our youngest daughter to return to her classroom for another school year and for our oldest daughter to ready her own daughters for fourth and sixth grades…time marches on!

Best wishes to all of our younger residents as they embark on another school year here in Penfield or Webster School Districts, at one of the private institutions, or off to college. I hope everyone has a very successful year.

As we enter into the third quarter of the year, we begin the 2018 budget process. The “tentative budget” is due to the Town Board on September 6. At this time, the budget information will be on-line for residents to review and comment. There will be a public hearing on the “preliminary budget” on October 4 and the “final budget” will be voted on at the October 18 Town Board meeting. I will cover milestones of the process in my weekly column to share how plans are shaping up for next year.

The Penfield Public Library, under the leadership of Librarian Bernadette (Bunny) Brinkman and her team, continues to serve this community and surrounding communities in so many ways. From their vast selection of media in all forms to the programs offered to all our residents, and from the annual book sale to internet and computers for personal use -- and so much more! Please make it a point to stop in and enjoy this wonderful community resource.

Our Recreation Department continues to look for new and enhanced program offerings for all ages. They are receiving high marks for the DEAR programs and this series is expanding quarter on quarter. We Penfield Recreation | 585-340-8655

thank you for your support and suggestions on how we make these programs as interesting and varied as possible.

We recently met with Solar City, the organization that will be installing a solar array at DPW for an update. As I reported in earlier communications, we were looking to start construction this summer.

However, we live in New York State and for that honor we continue to jump through the never-ending maze of hoops tossed our way. The good news is we are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, the bad news is the delays and added paperwork will delay the project start until spring of 2018.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 16 from 7:45 AM to 1:00 PM for the annual Penfield-Webster household hazardous waste dropoff. As you may recall, this event normally occurred in the spring but was moved to the fall by Monroe County, who coordinates the program.

This year’s event will be held at Webster DPW, 1005 Picture Parkway, off Hard Road. Appointments are available by calling 340-8710.

While the Town Board is responsible for establishing legislation, setting policy, preparing the budget, and participating in other administrative functions, it is the work of all our employees across the town supporting you and your families that is so important. All of our departments are focused on customer service, and I am honored to work with such a professional and dedicated group of men and women each and every day.

Enjoy the rest of your summer and all the program offerings in this fall edition of the Pen-Rec Brochure. I look forward to see you out in our great community!

Tony

Your Community Theatre Presents…

Red Herring Written by Michael Hollinger Directed by Donald B. Bartalo

Set in the 1950s, Red Herring spoofs the Red Scare era politics and culture, sending up everything from the H-bomb to Joseph McCarthy’s daughter. Red Herring is fauxnoir gumshoe dramedy. This genre is characterized by cynicism, fatalism, and moral ambiguity. Red Herring uses the standard themes of the noir detective story – hard-boiled, hard-drinking detective, down on his luck; sadder-but-wiser love interest, beautiful but hard-bitten; fiendish criminal; indifferent bureaucratic police force – to create something so ridiculous that audience members are compelled to giggle and snort.

Show Dates: October 27, 28, November 3, 4, 10, 11 at 8:00 PM

Sunday Matinee: November 5 at 2:00 PM All performances will be held at the Penfield Community Center, 1985 Baird Road, Penfield Pre-sale tickets are $12.00 and may be purchased at the Penfield Recreation office in person (1985 Baird Road), or by phone 340-8655, or web via www.penfieldplayers.org with Visa, MasterCard or Discover (no refunds or exchanges, please).

Advanced tickets strongly recommended.

Remaining tickets will be sold at the door for $15.00.

The Pilates Method was designed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. This unique system of body conditioning strengthens and stretches the core muscles (abs, back, hips and rear). The focus of this mat class is developing core strength, flexibility and balance, and relieving stress. Students learn to be aware of breathing patterns and spinal alignment while working the deep muscles of the core. The benefits include improved posture and range of motion in the joints, injury prevention, increased flexibility, and building a balanced body.

No previous Pilates experience is required. Please bring a mat and light hand weights. Questions, call Therese at 200-4085.

Judo – Bushido Kai

Time Fee 6:30-7:45pm $55 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.

Music & Lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda Reg. No. Day Date Time 449310-01 Wed Oct 4 12:45pm

Fee $35 Geva Theater

‘In the Heights,’ life is always colorful and everybody knows everyone. Here, coffee from the corner bodega is sweet and the air is filled with the sounds of salsa, merengue, soul, hip-hop and R & B. But it’s a neighborhood on the cusp of change, where the biggest decisions can be choosing which traditions you keep and which ones you leave behind. This landmark musical by the creator of Hamilton was the winner of 4 Tony Awards (including Best Musical and Best Original Score) and a Pulitzer Prize-nominee.

Depart Community Center 12:45 pm; return approximately 5:00 pm

Fee $35 Geva Theater

The Agitators tells of the enduring but tempestuous friendship of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass. Great allies? Yes. And at times, great adversaries. Young abolitionists when they met in Rochester in the 1840s, they were full of hopes, dreams and a common purpose. As they grew to become the cultural icons we know today, their movements collided and their friendship was severely tested. This is the story of that 45-year friendship – from its beginning in Rochester, through a Civil War and to the highest halls of government. They agitated the nation, they agitated each other and, in doing so, they helped shape the Constitution and the course of American history.

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

We are excited to offer classes and lectures to our consortium of lifetime learners. Engaging in intellectual, socially viable cognitive activities to 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.

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

FAQS • 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. (Note: don’t wait to submit your registration form. We will take non-residents in the order their forms arrive at the Recreation office.)

• 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.

There is no reserved seating. Our DEAR participants are truly some of the kindest and most approachable people you will ever have the privilege to meet.

Penfield Recreation | www.penfieldrec.org

DEAR Programs • Is there transportation available? Yes, we have recently 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 provides rides to medical appointments, religious services and beginning Monday September 11th we will be providing rides to the Penfield Community Center on Mondays for people to attend DEAR classes or to go to the Penfield Public Library.

This will be on a trial basis. The goal will be to add additional days sometime in the future.

• 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. 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, beginning this fall we are requesting participants to 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.

• I have an idea for a possible program. Do I have to be a seasoned instructor? How do I go about offering one 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 Mount 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 scheduled throughout 2018 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).

Pam O’Brien’s Photo History and Photographic Artist series are some of the most interesting and enriching programs we offer at DEAR. The threeday series will explore Mr. Richards’ provocative and distinguished breadth of work, as well as a biography of the man who has spent his life documenting the social fabric of humanity. His images are brutally honest and deeply touching, ultimately leaving the viewer with a deeper understanding of the world.

This series will conclude on the third day with a visit to the GEM at 5PM, for an opportunity to see his work first hand, with a full perspective of these amazing photographs. A scheduled live talk at 6PM with Eugene Richards will finish this comprehensive survey of one of the most respected photographers in the country.

Rick Gough Commander of Braman Post 1229 of the American Legion was given the heavy responsibility this past year, of acquiring a box filled with the personal WWI artifacts and a diary of local veteran George Babcock. Rick has taken the immense task of transcribing his hundred year old journal and researching the enclosed articles and he has assembled a three part series to honor and commemorate the soldiers of World War I. The three part program will be offered the week of Veterans Day and will include an overview of the causes of the war on day one, a talk on WWI Veterans from Penfield on day two, and a presentation on Mr. Babcock, the veteran whose belongings and diary have been a catalyst for this meaningful program.

Some of the most provocative, creative and vivid art of the Renaissance was created in Northern Europe. The use of symbolism became a vehicle in which to convey ideas about religion, human intimacy and social constructs. This region is also responsible for the use of oil paints which would ultimately change the face of art, providing a startling crisp sharpness of line and color. The art of the Northern Renaissance is truly some of the most spectacular and infamous work in art history. Join Rick Gough as you explore the work of such artists as Albrecht Dürer, Hieronymus Bosch, Jan van Eyck, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and more. Learn how to interpret the images and understand the tangible ideas and techniques of this beautiful art.

As 28th U.S. president, he led America through World War I and crafted the Versailles Treaty’s “Fourteen Points,” the last of which was creating a League of Nations to ensure world peace. Wilson also created the Federal Reserve. In the throes of commemorating the 100th anniversary of Women’s Right to Vote in New York State this year, it is only fitting to have a program that included the top man in office who supported the 19th Amendment, allowing women to vote. Good for you, Woodrow Wilson!

In the classical Hollywood film, the story is always primary.

American filmmakers rely on style—structure, narrative, and visual elements—to effectively tell their story. While the French Lumiere Brothers are generally credited with the birth of modern cinema, it is American cinema that soon became the most dominant force in an emerging industry and, since the 1920s, the amazing American film industry has grossed more money every year than that of any other country. Come consider and discuss this important part of US history.

One of the greatest crimes of the 20th century was the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.

Arguably, an even greater crime was the subsequent investigation and cover-up of that assassination. Now five decades later Churchville resident Marty Molinari follows the trails of evidence disclosed since the Warren Commission Report was released. He will present an analysis of these details and subsequent testimony of witnesses over these decades.

“His world-wide reputation for telling anecdotes – and telling them so well,” recalled friend Joshua Speed “was in my judgement necessary to his very existence.” Rather than indulgence in drinking, dice, or cards, Mr. Lincoln “sought relaxation in anecdotes.” Humor was an integral part of the way in which Mr. Lincoln created and cemented friendships. All that knew Abraham Lincoln relished in his ability to alleviate and diffuse tension in a room and take the upper advantage in precarious circumstances. Enjoy a light and intriguing glimpse into the mind of this gifted man who had an aptitude for humor, and an intellect for politics.

While digging a post hole in his backyard in May 2012, Webster resident Ed Harding found a projectile point, dating 3,500 years, or more in the dirt. Curiosity motivated him to begin an archaeological dig. What he discovered was evidence of stone tools and human occupation thousands of years old in a layer of topsoil that was buried in the 1950’s, when his development was built. Come hear the story and go home thinking about what could be in your own backyard.

Islamic medicine, aka Arabic medicine, refers to the science of medicine developed in the Islamic Golden Age. In this period of the history of medicine, Islam was centuries ahead of Europe, which still was embedded in the Dark Ages and the fallacies of the esteemed Greek physician Galen. While today many debate Islam’s adherence to outdated tradition, there is no debate this situation was reversed in the Islamic Golden Age. Consider the fuller history of the west’s relationship to Arabic thought and some insights from it we quite literally could not live without.

The life of a NY Civil War Union soldier is told through the actual letters written by James D. Quilliam to his wife and family members. Don Nelson-Nasca is the great grandson of James Quilliam and has preserved and chronicled his grandfather’s story in this audio visual presentation, which documents 84 original letters. Share his family’s history and this soldier’s first-hand experiences in this hour-long lecture.

Landings were made at locations such as Deception Island, Neko Harbour, Port Lockroy, and Danco Island. The return passed through the Chilean fjords in route to Punta Arenas, where a day was spent at Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia, Chile. The travelogue chronicles the Antarctica and Patagonia locals through the integration of still and video imagery.

We honor the 76th anniversary of Pearl Harbor this year with an examination of the brilliant fiction and non-fiction John Steinbeck created about World War II. Steinbeck did not report ‘straight news’, as he put it: he did not cover battles, or interview national or military leaders. As befitted the author of The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck wrote about the experiences of the ordinary people, those who were doing the actual fighting, and those who did the vast number of unglamorous but vital support jobs which kept the armed forces operating. And his fictional analysis of the human costs of military occupation was so compelling, Nazi soldiers risked execution to pirate and read Steinbeck’s 1943 parable The Moon Is Down. Discover another more international side of our Nobel Prize winning American icon as we reconsider how this war changed us all.
