• The season for the feral cat and kitten issue is underway. Members should not be feeding them. Please refer to the Conashaugh Lakes Rules and Regulations, specifically Article 11: Pets which reads as follows:

(g) Anyone who is caring for or feeding feral cats (outside cats) within the community is required to get a current rabies vaccination for the cat(s) and provide a copy of the vaccination to the CLCA office.

• Burn not called in - Security was alerted to a burn by a concerned neighbor. The burn was not called in. This could potentially have become a huge problem. All members are reminded that Security must be called when burning 570-832-5660 as well as the Pike County Com Center 570-296-7700.

• A reminder to all members that the mailbox area is NOT to be used as a bus stop pick up parking area. The fines for failure to utilize the Bus Pick Up Location of the front parking lot are as follows:

$100.00 first offence

$250.00 second offence

$500.00 third and further offences

• With the nice weather starting, please keep in mind that driving around the Conashaugh Lakes Community with children in the back of your pick up trucks is not allowed. Conashaugh Lakes follows the Pennsylvania Code regarding vehicles. Under Chapter 37- Miscellaneous Provisions, 3719- Passengers in open trucks, it is illegal to operate a truck at any speed if a child less than 18 years of age is occupying the bed of the truck or trailer.

• Off road vehicles, ATV’s and quads are not allowed on Conashaugh roads as per Rules and Regulations, Section 15.3 which states as follows:

Section 15.3 OFF ROAD VEHICLES (ATV’s, Dirt Bikes, Recreational Vehicles, Snowmobiles, etc.)

All ATV’s, dirt bikes, go-carts, snowmobiles, or any recreational vehicle designed to go off the road are NOT PERMITTED upon any CLCA Road; Paved or Unpaved, Improved or Unimproved.

(a)Snow or weather-related Emergencies: ATV’s that are equipped with a mounted snowplow, engaged in removing snow from driveways only, including their own or close neighbors (when operated by an adult), and not for hire, shall be authorized for use within CLCA. ATV’s under no circumstances shall be used for trash runs or to pick up the daily mail.

(b)CLCA State of Emergency: In the event of a CLCA State of Emergency where a severe thunderstorm, ice storm, tornado or other natural disaster causes severe disruption to roadways that may prevent Emergency Services from proceeding to property within CLCA, ATV’S may be used to assist during the State of Emergency.

In that case CLCA will issue an emergency pass to any operator of an ATV that is willing to assist in the emergency effort to restore normal operations within CLCA. Emergency Passes will be issued by the office. The Emergency passes will be in effect only during the declared emergency. Operators will be required to operate under the leadership of an emergency director, whether it be local as designated by the Board of Directors or external.

(c)The operation of recreational vehicles in CLCA will be permitted only on the owners’ property and operated only between 10:00 A.M. and 8:00 P.M. during Eastern Standard Time and 10:00 A.M.- 9:00 P.M. during Eastern Daylight Savings Time. Fines will be imposed.

HOME SECURITY

Here is a list of suggestions of what we can do to keep our family, home and property safe.

1. Secure Doors and Windows

• Use solid core or metal doors for all entry points.

• Install deadbolt locks on exterior doors.

• Reinforce sliding glass doors with a security bar or pin.

• Ensure all windows have secure locks and consider window bars or security film.

2. Install a Security System

• Invest in a home security system with alarms, cameras, and motion detectors.

• Display security system signage to deter potential intruders.

3. Use Outdoor Lighting

• Install motion-activated lights around entry points and dark areas of your property.

• Keep outdoor lights on during the night to increase visibility.

4. Create the Illusion of Occupancy

• Use timers to turn on lights, radios, or TVs when you’re not home.

• Have a trusted neighbor collect your mail and packages while you’re away.

5. Maintain Your Yard

• Keep bushes and trees trimmed to eliminate hiding spots for intruders.

• Use gravel or pebbles as ground cover near windows and doors to make noise when walked on.

6. Secure Your Garage

• Keep garage doors closed and locked.

• Install a security camera or motion sensor light in the garage.

7. Use Smart Technology

• Consider smart locks and doorbell cameras to monitor entry points.

• Use smart home systems that allow you to control lights and alarms remotely.

8. Be Cautious with Social Media

• Avoid posting about your travel plans or being away from home on social media.

• Wait until you’re back home to share vacation photos.

9. Install a Peephole or Video Doorbell

• Use a peephole or video doorbell to see who is at your door before opening it.

10. Keep Valuables Out of Sight

• Store valuables, including electronics, jewelry, and important documents, in a safe or in hidden locations.

• Avoid leaving expensive items in plain view, especially near windows.

11. Know Your Neighbors

• Look out for each other’s homes and report any suspicious activity

12. Reinforce Windows

• Consider installing window locks or security screens.

• Use shatter-resistant glass or window film to make it harder to break in.

By implementing these safety tips, you can significantly reduce the risk of a break-in and help protect your home and belongings.
