Wallenpaupack Vets for Vets

Tanglwood Lakes Your Summer Place Going back through the years of the Hit Parade and other listings of musical numbers, you are sure to find an abundance of songs to do with the Summer Season. From Brian Hyland’s “Itsy, bitsy, teenie weenie yellow polkadot bikini” to “Surfer Girl” by the Beach Boys to “Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer” by Nat King Cole all paired with the aroma of a good barbeque and the sound of a power boat on the lake provide the perfect backdrop for our Tanglwood summer. Sunsets on the beach, reconnecting with old friends, and a slower pace are all part of what make our Tanglwood Memories.

Family Fun at the TLCA Easter Party A big THANK YOU to the Entertainment Committee and the Tanglwoolies for making this event so enjoyable!

Welcome Committee

New Resident Coffee Social Held Tanglwood’s Welcome Committee held a very informative gathering recently for some of our new residents to the community. With so many home sales in the last year taking place, this setting is a good opportunity for a presentation and in-person welcoming. The committee, chaired by Joann Dedominicis and Rose Kucharski, arranged for our community manager, Ralph Graf, and Board or Committee Chairpersons to talk about different aspects of Tanglwood Lakes.

This included Mark Ossont, chair of Public Works, Bill Vaccaro Treasurer, and Meg Merone and Bob Burns for Entertainment and Recreation. The new residents heard about the importance of permits, the covenant vote, the value of financial planning and our Reserve Fund, as well as some fun entertainment and sports events coming up. Our manager shared an update on the spillway for Lake Tanglwood and the sediment removal and also spoke of the Planned Community Act of PA and the responsibilities of our Board of Directors. He reviewed the new process for becoming a candidate to run for the Board and some details of the application.

This was followed by an open question session while everyone enjoyed the coffee and refreshments and the gift of a canvas, zippered tote bag with the TLCA logo on it.

Should You Run for the Tanglwood Board of Directors?

The governing documents for our community provide for the yearly election of directors to the Board. This nine person board staggers the terms so that 1/3 of the members are elected annually for a three-year term.

The election and counting of the ballots occurs at the October general community meeting. Before this time candidate applications are received by the Nominating Committee and the ballot prepared, printed, and mailed to the membership.

If you are thinking you would want to run for the Board, this description provided

by TLCA’s attorney outlining the responsibilities and roles of a Board Member can be considered an accurate definition to help you make your decision.

“Board Members are fiduciaries who steer the organization towards a sustainable future by adopting sound, ethical, and legal governance and financial management policies, as well as by making sure the Association has adequate resources to advance its mission.”

The Candidate Application requires that you be a TLCA Member in good standing for at least two years before the date of assuming office. The Application is available on or before June 1, 2022 at the Chalet Office and submitted before June 24. Additionally to be placed on the ballot a candidate will provide a signed declaration that there is no direct or indirect conflict of interest with TLCA, a small photo, and a less than 300 word biography. The total application packet is received by the Nominating Committee in order to prepare the election ballot and publish in our newspaper.

BOARD CANDIDATE APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE ON OR BEFORE JUNE 1ST AT THE CHALET OFFICE.

TANGLWOOD LAKES | JUNE/JULY 2022

Update from the Public Safety Committee summer season many people are walking on the roads, dogs are out and about walking, children playing. --- Please drive carefully and slow down.

The Public Safety Committee has been very busy throughout the winter and months leading up to the summer season. Many security checks have been put in place to ensure that members can enjoy a safe summer.

The first thing members will notice is all of the safety and security features that have been added to the beach area. There are now 24 hour surveillance cameras which continuously record all activity throughout the beach, dock and parking areas. Safety now has the ability to view any instances of malicious activity in the entire beach area including the parking lot, the entrance and exit, the gazebo, the bathhouse, the beach area and all of the docks including the boat launch.

Unauthorized access to the entire beach area as well as the bathhouse is now controlled via key fob. All members in good standing should have received their key fobs prior to the gates going into operation. Key fobs are now required for vehicle entry to the beach area as well as authorized access to the beach house/bathrooms.

In addition to the beach area and in an effort to make traffic safer a number of new stop

signs have been added to Tanglwood Roads. Additionally the public safety committee has added 2 speed radar calming signs to Tanglwood roads. So, what exactly is a speed calming sign? Very often drivers speed without actually meaning to go beyond the speed limit. What a speed calming sign does is remind the driver that they are above what the posted limit is and very often the driver just doesn’t realize they are exceeding the limit and slows down. We were able to budget and purchase two of these signs which will be moved to various locations so that people will pay more attention to their speed.

The public safety committee polled its members as well as safety officers to figure out the best places to install the poles to move the signs throughout the community. Unfortunately, when you ask any member where they think a good spot for a speed calming sign should be they will inevitably answer that it should be in front of their property. If you believe the speed calming sign should be installed near your property please contact the public safety committee and we will study the area and make an informed decision as to whether or not an additional pole should be installed. Remember in the

In order to help alleviate concerns regarding our Safety Patrol, the Committee has recommended and installed GPS tracking in the cars which will enable the shift to be monitored more thoroughly as they complete the designated route within the community.

Also, we have installed video cameras in each public safety vehicle. These cameras record the entire shift so that we can have a visual record of any incidents that may occur during a shift.

And lastly, a street light has been installed at the Tanglwood entrance directly across Route 507 from the main entrance.

If you have any safety concerns please contact the public safety committee or send an email directly to my attention at russo@mindspring.com (committee chairperson)

After more than two years dealing with a pandemic, it will be very good to be able to come together again this summer and take advantage of all the beautiful amenities here in Tanglwood. Please have a safe and enjoyable summer.

This matter was reviewed by the Environmental Committee; a fine was issued. This matter has yet to be resolved.

TANGLWOOD LAKES | JUNE/JULY 2022

What’s Going On with Public Safety?

Two additions to our Safety Cars patrolling the roads of Tanglwood are the dash cam and an AED device. Both of these will enable our Safety Officers to more responsibly and reliably perform their duties.

The Dash Cam or Dashboard Camera, along with a GPS monitoring system, will improve the patrol effectiveness and allow our officers to easily recall an incident through the recording of details that take place on the roadway.

The dash cam is a type of ‘silent witness’ for accidents and other type of investigations through the wide angle of the camera. Since we have seasonal and weekend homeowners who cannot always keep an eye out on their property, this technology for our Safety Officers is a purposeful and useful improvement.

Our Safety cars are also equipped with an AED or automated external defibrillator. This device, powered by a battery, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It is a medical device that can analyze the heart’s rhythm and if necessary deliver an electric shock or defibrillation to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm. All of our Safety Officers and staff are certified and trained annually in its use as well as CPR training. Routine maintenance involves periodic testing of the battery and replacement of the pads. We have two sizes available, one for adults and one for children. A parent must give permission or approval to use on a child. A typical response could also involve calling 911 and the local Tafton ambulance service would answer the call.

Public Safety Log, March 17 – April 17, 2022 Miles patrolled by car 1: 1891 Miles patrolled by car 2: 905 Total: 2796

Service calls: 61

Incident reports: 0 Citations: 0

Warnings: 2 (unsightly properties) Miscellaneous:

Public Safety will have after-hours call service overnight from Friday – Sunday as of May 28th, through Labor Day weekend.

A courtesy email blast was sent out regarding the May 31st deadline for car stickers being placed on vehicles.

The TLCA staff now have their certifications for AED, CPR and First Aid. Public Safety will be using radar as part of their daily patrols beginning in May.

News from the Environmental Committee One of Tanglwood’s valued amenities is our 42-acre Nature Preserve located off of Tanglwood Drive, between Rosewood and Briarwood Drives, opposite the playground/walking track area. Within this wooded area is our hiking

path, Briarwood Trail. Along the trail you can observe many of the flora and fauna native to northeast Pennsylvania.

Every year the Environmental committee working with our Maintenance Crew assesses how Mother Nature has affected this area regarding

erosion, runoff, animal habitat behaviors, and the influence of various

invasive species. Currently, the trail is no longer a continuous loop and the

footbridge spanning the creek has been displaced due to the changing water flow. We now have a divided trail with the one entrance closer to Rosewood

Drive (Upper Trail) and the main trailhead across from the playground. As the committee

responds to the ravages of the weather and other environmental factors, repairing or relocating the connecting footbridge will be on hold and possibly considered at a later date.

Additionally, the Environmental Committee is putting into place interpretive, educational signage highlighting some of the features of our trail. These signs along with benches will enhance the

area engaging young and old alike to stop along the way, observe and enjoy the benefits of nature.

We have six signs placed along the trail on both sides. (reproduction courtesy of Vacker Signs, Nature Trail Series)

Capture and Infiltrate

Is Your Home Watershed Friendly?

By capturing runoff on a pervious surface, it has time to infiltrate into the earth, filter out pollutants as it goes, and recharge groundwater.

1.

Plant a rain garden.

3.

Choose native plants for landscaping to support local pollinators and reduce maintenance.

2.

Our local Pike County Conservation District (pikeconservation.org) has a homeowner’s checklist on their website for a watershed friendly home. Your everyday choices impact local water resources.

4.

Small actions made in your own backyard can contribute to non-point source (NPS) pollution; pollution which originates from many scattered sources.

Install a vegetative buffer between your home and the edge of your property.

Install a rain barrel on your property.

Minimize Runoff

By reducing the amount of storm water running off in the watershed, fewer non-point source pollutants can be picked up.

1.

2.

3.

4.

Instead of paving your driveway, choose pervious surfaces.

Direct your roof runoff downspouts away from your home and driveway, into your lawn or garden beds.

Entertainment & Recreation Committee

Keep fallen leaves out of the ditches and street gutters, to allow for the free flow of storm water.

Countdown to Fun 3-2-1 It’s Summer!

Limit lawn size and let natural parts of your property remain.

Eliminate Pollutants

According to the PA Department of Environmental Protection, 75% of PA’s total water pollution is from non-point source pollutants. The action items on this list will not only reduce pollution but also increase the value of your home. This guide will help protect your investment in your property by reducing flooding, beautifying property, and by protecting vital systems, such as septic. If each person does their part, we can protect our water resources for future generations.

Checklist:

The following list is organized into three categories of water resource conservation. Check off all the actions on this list and your home will truly be watershed friendly!

Non-point source pollution can be stopped at its source if each homeowner knows what to do.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

Plant trees, shrubs, and groundcovers (like grass) on your property to prevent soil erosion.

Keep your car well maintained. Check for drips, and repair leaks immediately.

Clean up pet waste to prevent nutrient and bacteria pollution.

Instead of salting icy surfaces outside, use sand or chip the ice off.

Properly maintain your septic system. It is recommended that the system be inspected and pumped out at least every three years for the average home.

Use lawn and garden chemicals properly.

Use water wisely when watering your yard.

As I gaze out the window on this cold but clear-skied, sunny day on April 29th, I can feel the potential of summer slowly arising among us. The feeling of the sun on my skin seeping through the window brings me visions of our beautiful Lake Wallenpaupack and Lake Tanglwood, scattered with people; skimming along the glistening lake on watercrafts, basking in the sunlight, or taking a moment in the shade sitting under the gazebo overlooking the wonderful sight of the beach. For residents who have the privilege of having access to the beach, this is a great option for some summer fun but there are other events and opportunities around northeastern Pennsylvania that can provide you and your family with some great entertainment, sights, and experiences that will last beyond the summer months.

For those who like a little healthy competition and free prizes, on Wednesday June 1st, Breaker Brewing Company, located in WilkesBarre, PA will be holding bingo games starting at 6:30pm, where you can play and win for free! For other dates to participate in bingo nights, search ‘bingo and Breaker Brews’ at discovernepa.com.

No matter who you are or where you come from, we can all agree that having fun is a main priority in the summer months. Starting Wednesday June 1st to June 5th, Montage Mountain Resort will be holding the annual Lackawanna County Heritage Fair. For a one price admission of $10, you can have access to rides, entertainment, and the infamous waterpark. According to lackawannacountyheritagefairs.com, the Heritage Fair is “a local fair where we can showcase our Heritages that live throughout Lackawanna County for one low price. To bring families, friends and cultures together in one place so that you can learn and taste a bit of it all”. For start times and more information, visit the website mentioned above.

Motion by: Mark Ossont Second by: Vinny Budd To approve the February 2022 Treasurer’s Report. The motion passed unanimously.

Community Manager’s Report, Ralph Graf: Community Manager’s Report to the Board February 2022 1.

The Legal committee reviewed the contract with Princeton Hydro for the second phase of sediment removal. The contract is for $43,200.00. There are additional fees for surveying - $3,600.00 and $13,000.00 to remove trees and prep lot 51, the dewatering site. The contract has been signed by the POA President. The fees will be taken from the $150,000.00 budget amount for sediment removal for 2022. We anticipate removing approximately 1,200 cubic yards of sediment from the cove area as phase two of the project. There is capacity in the Geo -Tubes on site that will result in a cost saving as it relates to purchasing additional tubes and the set-up. There will need to be further

discussion regarding the remaining phases of removal with the Environment committee for a suitable disposal site. The major factors in my view, when considering a site, are transportation costs, close proximity to the staging area and the vehicle impact on community roads. I informed the Lake Manager that the entire project for phase two cannot exceed the $150,000.00 budget.

The Legal committee reviewed the Trash Hauling Contract. The contract will provide a saving in the tipping fees, which are reduced from $67.50 per ton to $66.00 per ton. The recycling fees will be reduced from $800.00 per month to $600.00 per month. The new compactor unit will cost $325.00 per month as a lease for the three years of the agreement. The new unit will be installed after the winter. The lease includes a service agreement for the unit. The Board can cancel the recycling program at any time without penalty. The Legal committee suggested that the Environmental committee review our Recycling Program.

The contract has been signed by the POA President.

We have settled on insurance for 2022 with Philadelphia Insurance and cancelled the package and Directors and Officers policy with Cincinnati Insurance. The proposed new carrier, Philadelphia Insurance, provides a five-million-dollar umbrella that goes over the Directors and Officers policy and the package policy. In effect the Directors and Officers policy would have six-million dollars in coverage and the package policy would have the same coverage including the initial lines. The broker will cancel the policy with Cincinnati Insurance and engage Philadelphia Insurance for all but the Workers Compensation, which will remain with Cincinnati Insurance. A variance in the amount of $8,651.00 has been approved by the Board.

There is no further action on the Tanglwood North matter. The motion to dismiss on the part of TLCA Counsel has been denied and the case is moving forward. I spoke with Insurance counsel, and he expects to hear from Plaintiff Counsel with respect to a proposed settlement. I will let you know when I receive the proposal.

I spoke with the gypsy moth contractor who will be performing a full assessment of the community. I will pass the information on as soon as the survey is completed.

The line painter machine that was purchased for maintenance is in inventory and listed on our insurance. The video dash cameras have been ordered as requested by the Safety committee.

Beth, TLCA Administrative Assistant, has logged the key fobs in and she will communicate with the membership when we start distributing the fobs. In addition, she has been working with the Legal committee to secure the votes needed to approve the Protective Covenants. At this writing we are [82] votes short of approval. We are targeting the new owners who have not voted. The requirement for approval is 67% of the membership voting in favor of the change. The covenants currently are scheduled to expire in 2043.

I attended a meeting with Mark Ossont and Jeff from Wayco Paving.

The 21 roads that have been identified by the Public Works committee are scheduled for paving. The cost of the paving is $298,226.21. A copy of the paving schedule is included in your Board Packet. The community received $90,000.00 from Aqua as part of the agreement for the Trench Restoration.

We are on Wayco’s schedule for paving in May. Aqua is not planning on any replacement work in 2022.

The Legal committee will be making recommendations for authorized individuals to access member’s property to ensure compliance with the Building Permit that has been issued. The committee will be addressing access to unkept properties and safety checks in a second recommendation to the board. It is important that our Safety Officers be permitted access to properties in violation to maintain property values in the community. I want to thank Richard Gaines and the Legal committee for their support.

10. I have been working with the Safety Officers to reinforce the importance of enforcing the Rules and Regulations. The Safety Coordinator has recommended a reporting system like the one utilized in law enforcement. He has stressed the importance of inspecting safety equipment in the vehicles and he has established a safety check list. An update from the Public Safety coordinator is included in your Board Packet. The Safety Officers through the Code Enforcement Officer is engaged in a new program, Park, Walk and Talk. The purpose of the program is for safety /wellness checks for members having a difficult time either through death of a loved one and/or living alone with medical issues. I feel this is an important service to the members, especially during the frigid winter season. The program is similar to what local police have done in the past.

Discard of materials on neighboring member property or TLCA property is strictly prohibited.

Any condition that results in a citation for violation of this Rule 103 must be remedied and brought into compliance within 14 calendar days of the issuance of the citation. The failure to remedy the condition within that timeframe will result in a second citation or third citation, as the case may be. If a third citation is issued with respect to a condition, the Member will be notified that failure to remedy the condition within 14 calendar days of the citation shall result in TLCA engaging a contractor to remedy the condition and the cost thereof shall be assessed against the Member and his property.

Did You Know?

All About Kleinhans Creek Kleinhans Creek is a stream in Pennsylvania and has an elevation of 1,201 feet with coordinates of 42.37 North and -75.25 West. This creek enters Tanglwood Lakes Community from the east and flows through the wetland area of our nature preserve under the culvert on Tanglwood Drive, continuing northwest adjacent to the playground/walking track under route 507 where you can see a sign and then emptying into the Lake Wallenpaupack Watershed. From here this water enters the Lackawaxen River on its way to the Delaware River. There is also a one mile trail nearby called Kleinhans Trail that can be accessed from Route 390. We have some anglers in Tanglwood who claim to have caught trout in this creek.

Spotlight on Tanglwood Teens High School, she recently completed an amazing triple play. In January of 2021 she became the first female Eagle Scout in either Pike or Wayne County.

Her Mom and Dad, Suzanne and James Krug of TLCA, are the proud parents. Notably Dad also became an Eagle Scout. Angelina was commended for her accomplishments by the School Board and Superintendent Michael Silsby.

ANGELINA KRUG Angelina Krug is a special person. A National Honor Society sophomore student at Wallenpaupack

Then in August, with help from her fellow scouts, she saved a woman’s life. The woman had become partially trapped under a mowing tractor. Angelina and the other scouts held the tractor in place to prevent it from completely running over the woman who had suffered a broken arm and lacerations.

Angelina was later interviewed by WNEP for the heroic measures taken by she and her fellow scouts.

More recently Angelina and her Mom were driving in their car when she heard a woman’s voice screaming for help. Suzanne stopped the car and they found a woman trapped under a quad ATV in a ditch. They were able to free the injured woman and call for help. Now Angelina has been invited to attend the 2022 Distinguished Citizens Award Dinner at Mohegan Sun Conference Center in Wilkes Barre and be recognized for her latest act of heroism! A completed triple play!

In her “spare” time she is also a young entrepreneur, influential in the family’s new Wallenpaupack Floral business on Rte. 507 where she works and has created and maintains their web page. What a year for Angelina, she’s quite the amazing young lady!

For now he has committed to join the Marines upon his graduation following the path of both of his grandfathers who were also Marines. After basic training at Camp Lajeune, Aaron will attend electronic maintenance school somewhere on the east coast. His commitment includes 4 years of active duty and 4 years on standby.

I asked Aaron what things are most important to him. He listed love of family, honesty, respect, hard work and humility as his top characteristics. His Dad thought one of his best traits was making good decisions, a sometimes difficult thing in these times.

We are very proud of Aaron in making the decision to serve our great country and wish him much success in life in his future!
