The Penfield Town Board will vote on appointments to the Shadow Pines/Shadow Lakes Properties Land Use Committee.
Shadow Pines and Shadow Lakes are Penfield golf courses owned by the Dolomite Group. The company put the courses up for sale, and residents were alarmed by the potential for development at the sites, which they say could lead to traffic and environmental problems, and could burden the school district.
The former owners of the Dolomite quarry in Penfield are reportedly interested in buying the Shadow Lakes course.
The committee will look at land use and zoning issues related to the properties and will also examine possible ways to preserve the properties or to keep them as functioning golf courses. BY JEREMY MOULE

Oh good. The two most useless and arrogant human beings ever. Someone please state one of hillary’s accomplishments. Just one.
Bill Clinton is a fine role model. (?)
I believe Hillary can govern the United States. Yes, she has to do more to earn the respect of the voters, but given a chance, I believe she will. All the candidates need to do more to promote Dignity in the political discourse that will determine our future as a nation.
