Director’s MessageWhat a summer! It seems like it was just yesterday I was announcing all the great summer programs we were planning, and now the summer has come to a close. Every year the summer season just flies by and we are left with some great memories from a season that was full of excitement and fun events in Penfield. This year we had record attendance at the July 4th event with figures for the parade and fireworks estimated at close to 15,000! The amphitheater series had another successful season with great shows and great music. The food truck rodeo started our summer series with a great crowd of over 1,000 spectators. As part of our emphasis on Wellness, we held our first ever Pen Rec Mile Swim Club. Congratulations to everyone who completed the mile swim. We also installed the QR F.I.T. Trail at Rothfuss Park that allows users to perform exercises while viewing a step by step video on their smart phone! And finally, the staff is finalizing the details for the new biking special event “Tour De Farm,” an event created to highlight the farms and the Penfield families that operate them.

The fall has so many great events planned including; Tastin’ the Blues (9/19), Penfield Challenge 5K (9/27), R Community Bike Drop (10/3), Community Halloween event (10/23), Penfield Players “Private Lives” (starting 10/30).

I would like to pass along some important information regarding our registration system (Rec Trac). We will be performing some major upgrades to the current system and during the week of October 12 we may have some occasional outages while the changes occur. We appreciate your patience during this upgrade.

- Tony LaFountain, Penfield Town Supervisor -

[email protected] • 340-8631

I would like to begin by giving our Recreation Department, led by Director Chris Bilow and his entire team (Christine, Kim, Paula, Pam, Sabrina, Linanne, and Steve),

a big thank you and congratulations for the wonderful spring and summer program lineup they put together this year. Participation in most programs were at record highs. I will take this opportunity to encourage you to sign up early for the fall programs, they do fill up very quickly due to their quality and popularity. Register online at www.penfieldrec.org and receive a 10% discount on many programs.Our Trails Committee has been especially active this year expanding our extensive trail system and conducting many scenic treks. The group continues to work with the Boy Scouts on Eagle projects to improve trail access, help build boardwalks and bridges, clear new trails, and add amenities including benches and trail maps. Volunteers are always needed for trail maintenance work projects. If you would like to get involved please email [email protected] for more information. Our community’s highway infrastructure has been updated this year with many town, county, and state road projects. We continually review our pavement improvement plans (PIP) to maximize the use of our highway funds and ensure we balance the right applications with the overall condition of our roads. I would like to recognize our Town Engineer Mark Valentine and the Department of Public Works for their efforts with helping to manage the PIP program.A number of commercial projects have been started this year in the town’s various business districts. The overall percentage of commercial property in Penfield is about eight percent of

total properties. The Town Board has been sensitive in attempting to expand the right type of commercial development for our community to expand our tax base and preserve the rural agricultural character of Penfield. We always welcome your thoughts and ideas on how we can best manage this balance. Please drop us an email at [email protected] with your ideas. The 2016 budget is starting to shape up. My message is a consistent one from years past as it relates to the challenges of rising costs for retirement (pensions), health care, insurances, equipment, and materials. The Town Board continues to be creative, identifying ways to manage costs and control spending—in my opinion, this is something local government has done very well. We will continue to work with all levels of government and encourage them to reduce their spending and better control unfunded mandates that ultimately hit us at the local level. I will present the Tentative Budget to the board and community on Wednesday, September 2. We will hold a public hearing on the Preliminary Budget on October 7, and the Final Budget will be adopted on October 21. All aspects of the budget will be available online for review by our residents during all phases of the process from Tentative, to Preliminary to Final adoption.The Energy & Environmental Advisory Committee (EEAC) has been actively involved in a solar PV project to be located adjacent to our DPW offices at 1607 Jackson Road. A “Power Purchase Agreement” (PPA) is being reviewed that would see an energy developer build (at their cost) a system that would provide solar power back to the RG&E grid to significantly reduce the cost of electric to the Town of Penfield, thus helping to reduce our overall annual energy costs. The energy developer and Town of Penfield would share in the benefit until the developer

recouped their upfront costs, then the system would be turned over to the Town of Penfield for the full benefit. There would be no out-of-pocket cost to taxpayers, our annual utility costs would be reduced, and the project is good for the environment! I will keep you posted on the progress of this system in my weekly column over the next six months.Please remember to check out all the exciting programs coming up this fall and early winter at the Penfield Library. Librarian Bernadette Brinkman and her team continue to introduce new reading games, story times, and fun days for children of all ages. Penfield has one of the top library facilities in Monroe County because of a dedicated staff, support by the Friends of Penfield Library, and of course, all of the wonderful patrons!Penfield has a wonderful business community spread out across our six business districts. You have heard me say, “Healthy business makes for a healthy community!” This includes our incredible farm and garden markets. Please remember to support all of our businesses every chance you get. They, in turn, put resources back into our great community by supporting sports teams, the PSO, our schools, service organizations, charities, and places of worship. Supporting local businesses does make a difference…thank you in advance for supporting our Penfield business community! In closing, I would like to thank each and every resident of Penfield for allowing me to serve as your Town Supervisor. This is an honor I do not take lightly or for granted. I regularly tell individuals that I have the best elected official’s position in Monroe County, and that is due to all of you who make up this great community!

Healing &Transformative Power of MeditationMeditation 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 or mindfulness, we learn to transcend the ego self that thrives on drama, pain and suffering. Meditation develops concentration and promotes deep relaxation, with the brain emitting alpha and theta waves. By incorporating the art of mindfulness into our daily life, we will pave the way to a new mode of being that emanates inner peace and joy.

Dark UniverseThere’s more to the universe than meets the eye—a lot more. In recent years, scientists have discovered that 95% of the contents of the cosmos are invisible to our current methods of direct detection. Yet something is holding galaxies and galaxy clusters together, and something else is causing space to fly apart. Scientists call these invisible components dark matter and dark energy; “dark” because these phenomena do not emit light, not because we are not learning more and more about them. In fact, dark matter and dark energy are the most eagerly studied subjects in astronomy and particle physics today.

Almost PresidentsA survey of some of the U.S. Presidential candidates who ran and lost yet proved to be more impactful than the winners. Some were ahead of their time and others left a legacy to be filled in the future. Because they lost, history often rates them as losers and their great novel achievements are forgotten.

Secrets of Sleep Science

“To sleep, perchance to dream - ay, there’s the rub.”

When Shakespeare’s Hamlet contemplated the question “to be or not to be,” what happened during sleep was at worst, lost time and at best, a mystery. But scientists today realize the third of our lives we spend asleep is essential to our health and overall quality of life. Join Stanford professor H. Craig Heller for “Secrets of Sleep Science.”

Private Lives by Noel CowardDirected by Diane Schaumberg

Known as one of the greatest comedies ever written, this witty masterpiece follows the adventures of a rich and reckless pair of exes. Elyot and Amanda have been divorced from each other for five years and are now both honeymooning with their new spouses on the French Riviera. Is it fate or just a chance encounter when they meet again across adjoining balconies? With champagne in hand and caution to the sea-salted wind, passion is immediately ignited in this dazzling, whirlwind of love, lust and conflict.
