FROM SAM WILMOT

FROM JOE ACLA

Hello Everyone, Well, the rainy summer has now come to an end so let’s hope the fall is drier than what we have been experiencing. Now that the pool season is over, I would like to thank all of the lifeguards:

As I write this article, I find it hard to believe that summer is over. It seems to be moving faster and faster every year. With that being said, it is that time of year when all the youngest members of the Hideout head back to school. So, I ask that everyone REALLY take their time when driving throughout the community, and be vigilant of all children walking on the roadways.

This year, in conjunction with the Western Wayne School District Transportation Department, we are implementing a new bus stop over at the Recreation/Clubhouse area.

This stemmed from membership concerns regarding the safety and amount of children that are currently picked up at the North Recreation stop. Parents and children that are going to be picked up at the new Recreation/Clubhouse area have been notified by the School District. If there are any concerns, please feel free to reach out to my office, and/or the School District if you need any clarification.

The 2018 budget process is in full swing. The Budget Committee and managers have had three meetings thus far and are working on presenting a well-balanced budget to the committee, then to the Board of Directors. I want to thank all the committee members and my TEAM for all of their dedication and hard work with this process.

By now all of you have received the annual election ballot which is due back by September 21. The election count will be held on September 23 at the POA at 9:00 a.m. and the Annual Meeting is being held on October 1 at the Main Lodge at 10:00 a.m. The candidates running for this year’s election are Peter Boyer, Michael Terranova, Jerry Restaino, and Andrew Miller. I strongly encourage members to VOTE as this is an important matter that helps guide the community in which you live.

I want to remind everyone that we will be having our Annual 9/11 Ceremony at Reflection Park at 8:30 a.m. This is a wonderful ceremony, and I enjoy seeing all of our residents come out and reflect on that horrific day in our history. WE MUST NEVER FORGET!!!!

As part of our Wildlife Management Program, this past spring the Hideout planted approximately six acres of forage soybeans on the Miller Road property. The concept is to provide wildlife a source of nutrition with the efforts to move some of the wildlife out of the community. As you see in the photos, the beans are coming along nicely and will provide food for the next three months.

President’s Message Altieri, Lauren Avino, Mia Isabella Casey, Marena Sarah Chupick, Nicholas John Corma, Antonia Corma, Dominic Curran, Jenna Maureen Dolan, Brendan Thomas Dolan, Sean Firstenberg, Jessica Rose Juhasz, Kaitlyn Grace Juhasz, Victoria Lalli, Madison Gates

Scaduto, Jessica Marie Scaduto, Samantha Lily Sullivan, Bridget Anne Sullivan, Colleen Sullivan, Erin Marie Urian, Bennett Edwin Wieber, Daniel Zichelli, Matthew

As a team the above individuals had a total of 11 saves this season. This is truly a credit to what fine young adults they are and how our community is fortunate to have this service.

For the last time, I plead with all of you to please VOTE for the two vacant positions for the Board of Directors. Voting packets were mailed out to the membership on August 11, so everyone should have received them. Ballots and proxies are due back by 4:00 PM on Sept. 21, 2017, to the auditor Zavada & Associates and/or dropped off in the ballot box located at the POA. If you are a member in good standing and have not received a voting package or have any questions, call the POA office at (570) 6984100, ext. 109. Also, if you missed the Town Hall/Meet the Candidates meeting, you may view this on our website at http://www.hideoutassoc.com/. You must log in under your username and password, then click on the Board tab at the top of the page and scroll down to the “Meet the Candidates Video.”

General Manager’s Message

Also, I would like to thank all committee members who dedicate their time and work hard for both the Board and the community as a whole. Please remember that there are committees that are in need of good people with special talents that would like to help the community such as, the Golf Committee, Communications Committee, and Wildlife and Forestry Committee, just to name a few. If interested, please stop by the POA office and fill out an application.

The annual 9/11 Ceremony will be held at Reflection Park near the main gate on Monday, September 11 at 8:30 am. This event is sponsored by the Help a Hero Fund who work hard volunteering their time to give back to both the community and veterans.

If you have never attended this event, I strongly encourage you too!

With the fall season upon us, please remember you may drop off your bagged leaves at Maintenance and place them in the garbage dumpsters.

In closing, I want to thank all the residents and my team for a wonderful summer, and I look forward to the winter activities that we have to offer. As always, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to my office.

FROM JOHN GIGLIOTTI, M.P.A., LAND & ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING MANAGER

Environmental Corner

The summer season is winding down and I truly hope that all of our members and their guests enjoyed our vast and beautiful community amenities. As I reflect on all the wonderful activities available in the Hideout, I continue to believe that there is no better and more positive atmosphere to recreate and to strengthen families.

ATTENTION MEMBERS! We will be drawing down Roamingwood Lake on October 10, a bit earlier than the usual time in late October in order to accommodate the installation of the new side gate valve on the Dam. The drawdown will be more than 5 feet and would be a good opportunity for lakefront property owners to remove weeds and light debris by hand around their docks.

No machinery can be used to dig/excavate into lake bottom.

Reminder to Non-Power Boat Users on Roamingwood Lake: For safety purposes, we strongly encourage that you navigate within the designated shoreline buoys (100 feet from shore+-) and avoid the main body of the lake where conflict could occur with motor boats, jet skis, and water skiers.

We continue to work hard to educate and remind our members about NOT feeding the deer and any wildlife in the community. Besides being illegal to do so in the Hideout, there are four main reasons why you should not: 1. People food essentially is not good for animals for it is not nutritious enough and could cause quite serious health problems, especially with continued feed of bread, french fries and popcorn (Humane Society, 2016).

2. Wild animals will lose their natural fear of people and feeding potentially dangerous animals, like Black Bear, can make them become too comfortable around humans (Humane Society, 2016).

3. Feeding animals from or near vehicles can be dangerous to both animals, people and property as animals get hit by vehicular traffic or may seek to enter vehicles for food (Humane Society, 2016).

4. With a continued supply of people food, the spread of disease and injuries can occur. Unnatural crowding can increase the chance of fighting and injury amongst the animals. Further, it can increase the spread of disease, which can be transferred quite easily to pets and humans (Humane Society, 2016).

Retrieved from http://www.wildlifelandtrust.org/wildlife/living-with-wildlife/fourreasons-not-to-feed.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/ Environmental Control Committee (ECC) If you are planning any renovation or landscaping projects, please contact the POA, extension 102 or 166, prior to initiating project. There is a $250.00 non-refundable fine for building without a permit and we would prefer not to issue such a fine. Therefore, please give us call and we would be more than happy to work with and guide you through the process.

•

Please pick up waste from your pets. Pet waste will wash into our culvert drains and eventually our lakes and will increase nutrient load towards enhancing algae and other submerged aquatic plant growth.

We hope that our members and their guests will continue to enjoy the beautiful and vibrant lakes and other wonderful amenities here at the Hideout. Please contact us or stop by the POA office, if you have any questions or need further assistance.

SEPTEMBER 2017 • 5

FROM JOE KOZUCH, PUBLIC SAFETY MANAGER

Public Safety Corner

As we move into the fall season, I would like to remind everyone about the Board Motion that was passed back in December of 2015 regarding the feeding of deer in the Hideout.

In 2015 the Hideout Board of Directors voted to rescind Board Motion 10-63 which read as follows: Resolved that the feeding of deer is prohibited in the Hideout effective January 1, 2011. The first violation will be a written warning; the second violation will be a failure to comply citation issued in the amount $125.

At the same time the Board unanimously passed the following resolution: Resolved that in support of our community’s wildlife management efforts and to reduce the need for future culls that the feeding of any wildlife (with the exception of birds) within The Hideout is prohibited and is subject to an initial Citation and Fine in the amount of $1,000.00. Anyone who chooses to feed birds can do so only if they use a bird feeder(s) unit that is kept at a minimum height of eight (8) feet above ground level, if not they will also be subject to a Citation and a $1,000.00 fine.

The Hideout Public Safety Department will be charged with the strict enforcement of this resolution. Although this resolution covers all wildlife, special attention will be given to the feeding of deer.

This is due to the past deer cull and the possibility of performing future deer culls. Notwithstanding the new increased $1,000.00 fine, there are many other reasons not to feed the deer.

These reasons come directly from the Pennsylvania Game Commission which is the governing agency for whitetail deer in Pennsylvania.

According to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, while feeding deer may enhance wildlife viewing, decades of research has clearly shown that supplemental feeding leads to increased

disease risk, long-term habitat destruction, increased vehicle collisions, habituation to humans and alteration of other deer behavioral patterns and ultimately the demise of the value of deer and deer-related recreation.

Winter mortality within the deer herd will never be eliminated, its nature’s way of ensuring that only the strongest of the species survive to reproduce. Winter survival is determined by the availability of high-quality fall food to ensure fat accumulation, and winter thermal cover to conserve energy.

By late-fall, deer instinctively reduce their food intake and continue to do so through most of the winter. In winter, deer normally move less and rest more as an adaptation for conserving energy and safeguarding their fat reserves.

Activities that increase energy demands, that use those precious fat reserves, are detrimental. Feeding can lure deer away from protected areas and entice them to move further than they otherwise would, several times a day, often for only a small amount of food or perhaps none at all. Supplemental feeding alters the normal avoidance behavior of deer toward humans. Animals conditioned to human food sources lose their natural wariness and may become aggressive toward people either in protection of, or in seeking human food sources.

Feeding sites reduce animals’ home ranges, and deer that are fed continuously can become dependent on supplemental feed. Supplemental feeding also serves to concentrate deer in small areas year continued on page 6

FROM ROBERT BRINSFIELD, FACILITIES MANAGER

Public Works Corner

Autumn arrives fast here in Northeast PA. You barely have time to put away the shorts before jackets are being pulled out of the closet. Cool nights and crisp days help ease the mind.

Maintenance has already started preparing equipment for the winter and will begin closing down summer facilities this month. There will still be plenty to do as the lakes and parks will still be available for use until mid-October.

Fall clean-up will begin shortly.

Leaves can be bagged and dropped off in the trash compactors. Also, any branches below 4” can be brought to the maintenance yard during bulk hours.

Remember to keep the swales and culverts adjacent to your property clear of debris. The storm water system will need to stay open for the spring thaw.

Schools will be back in full session this month. Watch out for children on the roads and allow yourself extra time for the additional traffic. Be mindful of students walking to and from bus stops.

Enjoy the change in season and the harvest festivals in the region.

Deer driving tips: • If you see one deer crossing a road,

•

•

•

watch out for more. Deer often travel in groups and move fast to stay caught up with each other.

If you see brake lights ahead of you, it could be because the driver has spotted a deer. Stay watchful as you drive through the area as more deer could try to cross.

Take note of deer-crossing signs and drive accordingly.

Drive more slowly at night, giving yourself time to see a deer with your headlights. Lowering the brightness of your lights will make it easier to see deer.

Be especially watchful when traveling near steep roadside banks. Deer can appear on the roadway with little or no warning.

Be aware that headlights confuse deer and may cause them to move erratically or stop.

The month of September traditionally signifies the end of the summer. Here at the Hideout, our Recreation Department is in full swing. Be sure to pick up a copy of the Hideabout Extra and the Hideabout Newspaper to keep abreast of the activities. Both are available on our website at www.hideoutassoc.com Although most of our membership has picked up their 2017 stickers, we are kept busy with cars being added, renewing photo ID’s, adding guest vehicles, and answering general questions and referring you to other departments for assistance.

after year where animals do serious and possibly irreparable damage to native forage species, which in turn further reduces the carrying capacity of the range and makes deer increasingly dependent upon supplements. High densities of deer at feed sites create increased competition and stress within and among deer and other wildlife.

Social hierarchies prevent the deer most susceptible to starvation (fawns and those that are already weakened) from feeding. Most of the supplemental feed, in reality, is consumed by a small number of deer.

Please remember that the Public Safety Department will be performing strict enforcement of this new resolution. Everyone’s cooperation and adherence on this matter will greatly enhance the quality of life for all the membership as well as it is in the best interest of our wildlife here in the Hideout.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

September is Fall Prevention Awareness Month By: Bernard J. Povanda, PT, COMT, Direct Access Certified The 10th annual Falls Prevention Awareness Day will be observed on Sept. 22, 2017— the first day of fall. In honor of this notable milestone, the theme of the event will be 10 Years Standing Together to Prevent Falls. The National Council on Aging event raises awareness about how to prevent fall-related injuries among older adults.

According to the National Council on Aging, every 11 seconds, an older adult is seen in an ER for a fall-related injury.

Major Causes of Falls: weak muscles, unstable balance, dizziness, vision problems & side effects from medications, conditions of the home (loose rugs, slippery floors) Ways to Reduce Risk of Falls: balance training, gait, strength & flexibility training to improve mobility and reduce risk of falling.

As a physical therapist, we utilize a Fall Risk Screening Program for our patients.

It is a structured program that consists of eight visits over a four-week period. The patient is evaluated for specific risk factors known to contribute to falling and decreased mobility. The three areas proven important in assessing a patient’s risk of falling are:

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED

Rt. 590

1.Lower Body Strength- is a critical factor for a quick response to a balance disturbance. Testing identifies weakness, and if needed, exercise will greatly improve lower body strength.

(NEXT TO HAMLIN POST OFFICE)

570-689-7786

2.Balance- normal balance is controlled by a combination of visual, muscular and neurologic systems. Together, these factors keep us from falling when we encounter an unexpected disturbance. Testing and appropriate exercise can improve this.

3.Aerobic Endurance- Older adults typically display a slower walking speed. Steps are also shorter. These are all factors related to falls. Independence is directly related to walking speed. Testing and, if necessary, exercise helps the patient to walk more safely and confidently.

Fall risk testing has been proven as a lifesaving program for older adults. In the event you or a loved one is found to be at risk, there are many interventions and exercises that physical therapists can utilize to aid in gaining strength, improving balance, and building confidence to reduce the risk of falling. See your local physical therapist for a screening today!

2. Board of Directors Comments: None 3. Management Reports: (Questions or Comments will be taken after each report- limited to 5 minutes each) General Manager, Joe Acla: • Explained the importance of the election process that takes place within the next few months. The Town Hall/Meet the Candidates meeting is Saturday, August 12 at 9AM at the Main Lodge. Ballots will be mailed out Friday, August 11 with a return date of September 21 to either Zavada & Associates or they may be dropped off at the ballot box located at the POA office. Ballot count will be on Saturday, September 23 at 9am at the POA and the Annual Meeting is Sunday, October 1 at 10am at the Main Lodge.

Also, explained we generally only receive approximately 20% of ballots returned which is disheartening. Believes with any election it should be around 50% to 60% due to the fact this involves guiding the community. • Stated coming out of the first half of the year we are positive to budget $95,000.00. Managers will go over their individual department numbers.

• Recognized and presented certificates to the following lifeguards: Antonia Corma with one save, Erin Sullivan with one save, Brian Moran with two saves on the same day, and Dominic Corma with one save. These saves are primarily children and this is a wonderful asset the community has. • Explained our Public Safety Manager is not present today due to having his yearly constable training.

Therefore, he will be presenting his department’s numbers and statistics. If members have any questions in regards to this information he requests they send the Public Safety Manager an email.

• For the month of June there were 17 traffic citations, 24 non-traffic citations, 5 violation warnings, 5 motor vehicle accidents, 0 theft, burglary and criminal mischief, 59 investigations, 6 alarm responses, 46 aided injuries, 6 domestic disputes, 1 fire call, 47,957 cars in the North Gate, 29,086 cars in the Main Gate, 11,076 cars at Stock Farm Gate, 88,119 total vehicles entering the community, 7,531 guests, 4,919 telephone calls, 11,575 patrol mileage and 2,611 calls for service. • Public Safety is $12,000

favorable in operations.

Food & Beverage Manager, Lisa Cook: • Year to date Food & Beverage is slightly unfavorable by $4,809.00. Last year’s year to date was slightly unfavorable by $758.00. Although, revenues are favorable to last year by $21,274.00. Wages/ Salaries are also favorable $14,013.00.

• The Main Lodge is booked for the fall with two weddings, murder mystery in October, bridal shower, and grand events such as, The Legends, Godspell and the Christmas Cabernet. Informed the membership to look for them and call to book your reservations. Also, have several inquiries for the Lodge for 2018. Explained people always like to know what is going on at the Lodge which is booking up.

• Continuing with Clubhouse entertainment every weekend and continuing with Taco Tuesdays, Thursday Prime Rib Nights, Pasta Night, Monday Night Specials and Weekend Specials. Concern with an incident at the Clubhouse involving a party using vulgar language and a member’s attire, suggested enforcing a dress code.

Land & Environmental Manager, John Gigliotti: • Department’s revenues are a couple thousand favorable to projected budget.

Salaries/wages are a couple thousand off because of benefit issues that are not controllable. Operating expenses are $160 favorable. Overall, $68 favorable.

• Issued 234 ECC citations, 117 have been corrected, those remaining are either resales, on account or still paying. • Year to date there are 564 building permits.

Feels this number is the most he has seen in his six year tenure. Informed the membership phone calls have picked up but does not have the number at this time and is planning to start tracking them.

• Resales are again trending high at 133. Explained this does not mean they all have closed because sometimes the deal falls through. According to the Registration Manager the official number is 93 closings as of the end of June.

• Informed the membership he does not have the updated numbers as of date, but a number of the blighted properties are being addressed. Will have more statistics in the next few months. • Princeton Hydro will be out next week conducting water samplings from the lakes as well as inspecting the lakes for algae that might need a spot treatment. • Has contacted DEP regarding the Brook’s Lake dredging project and they have completed their review which has been approved and now it is in upper management’s hands.

Communications Manager, Debbie McGowan: • For the month of June the Community Relations Department’s revenue budget was set at $19,962. Total revenues sold for the month were $19,277.00, leaving revenues unfavorable by $685 for the month. Total revenue for the first six months of the year is $87,079, currently

the department is $3,093 unfavorable to budget. • Total operating expense budget for the month was $14,482 and total expenses were $15,409 leaving the department unfavorable for the month by $927.00. However, since the beginning of the year the department is $5,141 favorable to budget. • The Community Relations Department’s net operating surplus year to date is $2,048. This time last year the department was $3,660 unfavorable to budget. This is a busy time for the department where they will continue to increase revenues and control expenses.

Facilities Manager, Robert Brinsfield: • Overall with all three departments, maintenance, grounds and trash are $629 favorable. • Salaries/wages for all departments is $11,255 favorable.

Therefore, there is an upward trend.

• The department is out tree trimming and is continuously keep this item on rotation, working on internal storm water projects to stay ahead of Stage III, working on parking lot paving and some internal crack sealing on the Stage I section and in the parking lots. In two weeks the department will start looking at prepping for the winter season.

Suggestion to add a railing to the walkway at the Main Pool, for added safety. President informed the membership they are looking at adding handicap parking at the North Pool.

Compliment regarding the good job Facilities Manager is doing. Secretary suggested for the Facilities Manager to increase his budget in the trash line item for this coming budget cycle. Question if recycling is going up proportionally with trash.

Financial Manager, Donna Kiely: • Stated we are positive to budget through June. Forecast is $95,000.00 positive variance. Although, this could swing but is confident with managers keeping a close eye on their budgets we will be able to maintain this number.

• informed the membership they are short staffed in Recreation so we will want to factor this into the budget process and use those funds. • Reviewed the operational expenses summary. Public Safety is $12,000 positive variance, pool/beaches have $23,000 positive variance, Recreation has a $35,000 positive variance and administration has a $22,000 positive variance. • Had the first quarterly review meeting with the Budget Committee. Her and the General Manager will be reviewing the 2018 budget and presenting this to the Committee starting August 11 at 9am. • In capital there are a couple of areas that have not spent their monies yet but will be doing so such as, a few pieces of equipment for Recreation,

the Phosphorous reduction in the Land & Environmental department and the Clubhouse generator which might have a change that will be presented in the 2018 budget. Also, processed the funding for the RS&W paving project that did include additional road work, therefore, last meeting it looked better because we had not spent this funding but now we are at about 1 million dollars of expenditures of the 1.4 million budget.• Dues collections were trailing in prior months but now can report we are ahead of last year through June, at 3531, which is 28 ahead of last year but is slightly behind the numbers from 2014 and 2015. The Financial Supervisor is persistently and politely calling members to get their dues taken care of and demand letters from the attorney are being prepared. • The cash membership billing collections are at 95% of budget and 67% for delinquent billing collections.

was to protect our items because people have misused the tables and thrown them in the lakes destroying them which, in turn, causes members having to pay for them again.

Concern regarding a stop sign at Chestnut Hill and the confusion it is causing as well as an issue with no rotation for dock slips and the fact there is no written rule.

Discussions took place regarding rules for dock slips and clarification on our rules for them.

President explained the process right now is if someone has a dock and pay every year then the member keeps their dock. Further, explained no one Board can enforce a rule that future Boards cannot change.

Chairperson explained we are in a transition since our Recreation Manager has left but there are rules in place and unfortunately we do not have someone in this position at this current time.

An issue regarding the current boat length rule.

Explanation to the members that if they are having an issue as the one stated regarding the vulgar language at the Clubhouse they should call Public Safety because they are the community’s enforcement and the procedure avoids any conflicts or hostile situation.

Secretary confirmed that if staff asks a member to stop the bad behavior and they choose to ignore them then Public Safety should be called in to handle the situation.

Thanked the Board for volunteering their time and doing a good job because he understands it is a tough situation. Also, stated he has had an issue before at the Clubhouse and the staff does try to do their best but some situations do call for Public Safety’s presence.

Explained he has addressed implementing a dog ordinance in the past with previous administration due to the fact he lives next to the home where 29 dogs were removed but it fell on deaf ears. Although, he feels five is still a bit he knows this is better than 29 dogs.

Thanked the General Manager and the Board for taking the initiative to pass this ordinance.

hidden somehow. There is no concern of the garbage etc. going into the lake.

Someone was taken pictures.

• The sign at Hidden Lake and Cliffwood is a dangerous spot.

There needs to be something done.

Thoughts are for adding another stop sign at the intersections.

• The Woodworkers do not know if they are considered to be an Amenity or a Club. It is considered an Amenity and they are covered under Recreation.

That being decided, they would like some work done on and around the building. Such as: paving parking lot, fill the pot holes, line the parking spots, mulch the area around the building, remove the dead branches that are laying on the roof, power wash the outside. Robert will check the reserve study to see when it is possible to have the building replaced with vinyl siding. They would also like to have the signs straightened at the building. Recreation needs to be informed of this, so that they can put in a work order.

• There is still the need for a speed limit sign (less than 25mph) placed at the entrance of the Golf Course. This has been brought up to Public Safety.

It is a dangerous situation trying to cross the road with golf carts. It was suggested that maybe the radar sign could be moved to that site. Also, the idea of removing the seven trees would increase the parking spaces.

They do need more parking.

• Scott spoke about the maintenance personnel and their roles. He would like the Committee to approach the Budget Committee to ask for more money for more help.

COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

Lakes Committee Draft Minutes of Meeting - 5/20/2017

Chair: Tim Jeffers. Present: Judy Restaino, Kent Fairfield, Rick Nolte, Larry Garlasco and Jeff Silverman. Staff: John Gigliotti, Manager and Francine Spinelli, Admin.

Assistant. Board of Directors Liaison: Barry Neiss. Excused: Iggy Rivera and Jim McLoone. Absent: Charlie Durkin, Karen Greenfield, Arnie Milidantri and B Kravetz.

Guest: Jerry Restaino.

The meeting was called to order at 9:06AM. First order of business is the minutes of last month. Tim made a comment that he is glad the minutes are being read and that if there are any comments to send them to him and he will represent the comments in the minutes. This is to ensure that this goes through the proper channel and the minutes get recorded appropriately. Comments from Kent Fairfield, regarding the gate valve in.

Fran Spinelli advised she did not make the changes as the proper forum to make changes was when the motion to accept the minutes was made. The 5 ft. draw down valve is a 12 inch valve and the main valve is 4 feet and this is the 2200 lb. valve. Also Kent’s name is Fairfield not Fairchild. Minutes were approved with noted changes above.

MOTION: To accept the minutes of April 22, 2017 with changes, Rick Nolte, seconded by: Judy Restaino. Motion passes 6-0-0. Judy Restaino introduced her husband Jerry.

John Gigliotti advised that he went through a site inspection process of the lakes with Dr. Lubnow of Princeton Hydro.

DEERFIELD LAKE: The Truxor Coming up next week prior to the Holiday weekend to do minor harvesting and will also check Brooks.

The truxor will also pass the north end of Deerfield will help manage the canary grass.

Dr. Lubnow took pictures and will work to harvest canary grass at north end near pump house. As for fish stocking, playing telephone tag with Schultz’ Fish Hatchery.

Last message was he was trying to pull out Walleye from his pond to get them to ours.

John wants to get in before the Holiday and get everything stocked next week.

The Deerfield Aeration System project went seamless, it’s in and fully operational. There are 16 aerators and one set is like an 8 inch drum set flowing up. The system is quiet.

Tim asked about potential power outages.

John advised yes and had to re-start and there were no problems. Rick Nolte asked about lily pads, John advised they are not as bad. Will still bring in the truxor.

BROOKS LAKE: Brooks Lake Dam was never officially recognized as a dam by DEP. Informed by DEP that they would probably hold up the dredging permit until the dam was permitted. Princeton Hydro had concerns and for additional fees would do the potential breach analysis that DEP wanted. John then advised he spoke with and had been working with his contact at DEP in Harrisburg to inspect the dam and see what could be done to move along process. Dr. Givler was contacted

by John to do the inspection. Dam Safety was concerned about the drain plug at the bottom of the concrete weir. Spoke with DEP yesterday and the inspection report Dr. Givler presented was excellent and dam in very good condition. DEP will work with us regarding the valve and felt the valve would work. The report has to go to State Bulletin for a 30 day public notice but don’t expect any problems. We are hopeful to have both the dredging and dam permits within thirty days. Now funding with a board motion, problem with the timing the money will be released. May have to forego a line item but am still pursuing with proposed dredging project by fall. Further discussion followed.

John advised he has to check numbers with regards to the budget. T. Jeffers asked if

there was a breach what would be the loss of life or property damage. John advised that damage would be minimized by Tract 29. Discussion of budgeting continued. T. Jeffers noted that it would be beneficial for the dredging in Brooks went forward then the dredging in Roamingwood because Brooks is a feeder and if there is an overflow of phosphates coming down would do more damage to Roamingwood. John asked if the Committee would support the dredging permit application line item for Roamingwood, to be used for Brooks dredging project.

ROAMINGWOOD LAKE: T. Jeffers advised he sees rock hazards in Roamingwood and don’t have a firm grasp on where they are. Need a plan on the rock hazards and this is more of a priority. Judy advised a need for spot dredging. Tim asked if this was decreasing her recreational use of the lake and Judy advised no. Rock hazards is more of an issue. After season would draw down the lake approximately 10 feet to see the rock hazards, take pictures and send to the Army Corp. of Engineers to permit.

Tim asked Barry for the best method to support John. B. Neiss advised that a verbal communication to the Board would help and that the entire Board of Directors wants to work with Land & Environmental Planning.

Barry would represent. John then advised we were just approved for 5 additional no wake buoys and that we do not have buoys for rock formation. Barry suggested duck decoys. Judy then advised caution pictures where the Kayaks are rented. John made note to Recreation. Barry suggested handouts from Recreation. John will speak with Recreation and then advised it would help him if the committee supports him in giving up the line item needed for the dredging Roamingwood Lake.

MOTION: Pushing out the permitting for the dredging permit application at Roamingwood In favor for making sure the dredging in Brooks moves forward from a financial perspective, Tim Jeffers. Seconded by: Judy Restaino. Motion passes 6-0-0. John advised he would contact the excavator and dredger for their official contracts and have Attorney Farrell review. John then advised his action plan to being prepping the site and moving forward with the dredging project. Kent Fairfield thanked John for his persistence.

LAKE INSPECTIONS: Water quality levels were good. The chemical biological treatments are done. Will probably do spot chemical treatment at the south cove of Roamingwood. The winter algae would usually die back this time of year but because we had below normal temps for the entire month, winter up until this past week and the water is cold. Truxor is coming and will do some harvesting.

Phosphorous Reduction Unit. Judy asked about the Phosphorous Reduction Unit, John advised he is working on it and met with Dr. Lubnow and had the plans. Would email the plans. Materials can be tested. Tim asked for a picture, plan, measurement and success rate. John advised he should have the plan next week. John added discussion on the Growing Green Grant, Act 13 and should know this summer if approved for it. If we get the grant, most of the capital money put up front will be refunded and Public Works will install the unit.

Storm Water - John advised he contacted DEP and explained the storm water situation. DEP came up to the POA to review site conditions. After meeting on site with General Manager and Facilities Manager, area would be considered storm water drainage and not environmental. Therefore,

we would provide the engineering and design and save thousands on the permitting costs. While trying to get the grant would try to do some design work and tie it all in.

NEW BUSINESS: Rick Nolte noted he has not seen a geese issue. John advised he received permission to go onto some properties and Wildlife Management found one nest. There were other nests found and may have one across Avoy Road that he cannot get to. One nest got by at Deerfield but none were seen there. It appears that is came off-site from marsh area to south of community. If we can get away with one hatching over 2800 acres is pretty good.

Seasonal Canary Grass - John advised we did a treatment last fall and Tract 29 has $6,500 in the budget and have one more year to manage then funds go through Grant.

May have to plant a couple of trees there.

Tim Jeffers noted that as we are nearing the restoration projects, dredging of Brook and potential some dredging of Roamingwood with rock hazard removal.

When Charlie comes back will talk about dredging. Everything is in progress or already done. We need to develop what is going on operational with the funding. We are paying for truxor, chemical biological treatment, maintenance on aeration system.

It would be nice to start seeing charts showing where costs should be going down and would be nice to start painting the picture to the board, showing the payoff of projects. It will level off and 10 years ago we were spending $2,000 a year on chemical and that was it and know we are not going back to that. The spending, restoration projects are coming down and we will no longer have that spending. John advised he worked on a revised 5 year management plan and will send the report to Tim and then John will present to the Board.

Member Satisfaction Survey - Tim suggested putting out a quick 3 question survey about lake quality feedback. Kent Fairfield advised he will assist with this. John advised he will also put together a marketing write up and also advised he is working with IT to put together information for the website regarding the lakes. Tim suggested with pictures, grants, good will developed. Tim noted how John turned around the relationship with DEP, whole community aspect that has been changed around. How do you measure this without listing it? Tim then noted focusing on water quality and recreational usage as well. Show what Dr. Lubnow has brought and showed. John will send Tim what he has written and presented to IT to list.

Jeff Silverman suggested buoys placement, not being placed by docks. John advised they will try to accommodate this.

To All Members and Employees of The Hideout, Hello! My name is Marra Butler and I am the new Assistant Recreation Manager. I am extremely grateful and want to thank Joe Acla for giving me this wonderful opportunity to improve our Recreation Department and hopefully introduce new activities that can interest all members of The Hideout. I would also like to thank the Department Managers and employees that took the time out of their busy schedules to make this transition easier.

I received my Bachelor’s of Science Degree from Marywood University in Physical Activity/Sports Medicine. Being active in recreational activities and sports my entire life fueled my passion to pursue a career where I can have a direct impact on providing the same enjoyment and interaction for others. I am excited to meet and become a part of this community, so please feel free to stop by the RSC to say hello and offer suggestions on activities/ programs you would like to see!

Best regards, Marra Butler

Hideout Doubles Club Championships

The 2017 Hideout Women’s Doubles Club Championships, held on Sun., August 5, went down in history as the one of most hard-fought and most hotly contested matches ever played.

The team of Laura Altieri and Joanne Marin took the measure of Sherri Pagnanelli and Kristen Victory 7-5, 5-7, 11-9. To say that a point here and a point there could have produced a different outcome would be an understatement!

To show how hard fought the match was, the first two sets took nearly 2 ½ hours to play. The Super Tiebreak, which took the place of a third set was fought nip and tuck for nearly 20 minutes.

The match started out with Altieri/Marin breezing to a 2-0 first set lead but that was just an anomaly. Each team exchanged leads before Altieri/Marin won the last two games. A total of 25 duece points were fiercely contested.

The second set started completely different with Pagnanelli/Victory needing to play just 9 points to storm out to a 2-0 lead. However just like the first set, this was just the beginning as each point and each game was fiercely challenged before Pagnanelli/ Victory gutted out the last two games winning 8 of the last 10 points played, to claim the second set and even the match.

Finally, just when you thought that one team or another might be tired during the 3rd set super tie breaker, you would be totally wrong. Teams alternated winning points and exchanging leads and finally with the scored tied at 9-9, Altieri/Marin claimed the last 2 points and put their mark on the Club Championship. The spectators that viewed the match witnessed one for the ages!

Owen Lucas Named Junior Singles Tennis Champion The beginner division finals was filled with great rallies and a lot of running as Owen Lucas faced off against Brendan Griffith on Saturday, July 29, 2017.

The match started off in Owen’s favor as he strung together five straight game wins before Brendan was able to get on the board. Brendan was able to pick out some weak spots in Owen’s game and closed the gap to 5-3.

After finding himself running around the court, Owen settled down and used his great forehand technique to close out the match. Owen closed out the match at 10-4.

Tennis in the Hideout

There are several ways to sign up and book tennis time and the Recreation Staff is here to help and make it very easy. All members of the Hideout can call up to one day in advance and book a single court any day of the week. There are morning, afternoon, and evening hours to fit your schedule.

Hope to see you at the courts!

2017 Singles Club Championships

Sour Name, Sweet Game: Pickleball

You know they say that you can’t judge a book by its cover. The same thing can be said about the scores of a tennis match.

Mark Jacobs defeated Bob Avitabile 6-0, 6-1 on Sun., August, 13 to claim the Men’s Singles Championship but if you watched the match you would have thought that those set scores would have been much closer. Most of the rallies were long drawn-out rallies of 6-8 hits with Jacobs managing to hit just one more ground stroke than Avitabile to close out the point and eventually the game and set.

There were very few forced or unforced errors which brought out the best hitting between both players. Jacobs was able to run down and return just about everything Avitabile could throw at him making it a strategy challenge for him.

This is Jacobs’s first Championship win at this level. Certificates were awarded to each player by the Hideout tennis professional.

On the Women’s side, Debbie Lucas won her first Singles Championship by defeating B. Wade 6-3, 6-1. Lucas jumped out to a 3-1 first set lead before Wade broke back to right the tempo for her. Lucas then rattled off the last two games winning 8 of the last 11 points to claim the set.

In the second set Lucas broke Wade two times to jump out to an early 3-0 lead.

Wade was then able to break Lucas’ serve; but it was just too little, too late as Lucas made quick work of the last few games to close out the set and match.

Both Jacobs’s and Lucas’s names will be added to the Champions plaque.

That’s a funny name… what is pickleball anyway? Pickleball is a court sport best described as a cross between tennis and ping-pong, and it first came to life due to a lack of badminton equipment. Players are equipped with a racquet, either wooden or made of composite materials, and play with a whiffle ball on what can be compared to a mini tennis court. The game is designed for players of all ages and skill levels, making it the perfect family sport. Since its creation pickleball has swept the nation gaining popularity in communities in the southern states, in schools, and in recreational clubs.

Veterans and new players are all welcome to join. Paddles are provided by Recreation for those who do not have their own equipment.

Stop by on either of those days to get some exercise and learn one of the fastest growing sports in America.

An early start to the morning brought some action the Main Lodge Pool on Sunday August 6. Nineteen participants dragged themselves out of bed but were soon brought to life by the chilly morning air.

After a quick briefing about their 50 meter swim the swimmers stepped to the edge of the pool and waited the call and whistle from Mike Firstenberg. In the 7-9 year old division Braeden Tripp and Lauren Ryan posted the best swim times of 43 seconds, followed by Amanda Linde at 45 seconds, then Eddie Firstenberg and Andrew Curran, both at 46 seconds. The 10-12 year olds were required to swim double the distance and did so without hitch. Fillip Gold ripped through the water with a time of 1 minute 9 seconds. Colin Tripp locked in the second best time of 1 minute 21 seconds.

The next feat for the triathletes to concur was the 1.5 mile bike, which was slightly shorter for the older kids due to road work. The kids lined up and awaited the whistle in their race to the finish line at the Art Center. Braeden Tripp finished with the best biking time for the 7-9 year olds and Fillip Gold lead the 10-12 year olds with 6 minutes and 59 seconds.

Lastly, the triathletes had to put their stamina to the test by running their way to the finish line for the final time. With their eyes set on a new course record the participants booked down the road at a full sprint.

The first to cross the finish line for the 7-9 year olds was Allie Mitchel with a time of 4 minutes and 17 seconds, missing the current record by 5 seconds.

Aidan Linde lead the pack of 10-12 year olds with a time of 4 minutes and 7 seconds, just 4 seconds short of the current record.

After cooling down the group shuffled into the Art Center to enjoy some cake and beverages while the officials determined the winners. For the second year in a row a narrow margin separated the 10-12 year olds that placed, results were as follows: Ages 7 to 9 1st: Allie Mitchell – 14 min 42 sec 2nd: Austin Mitchell – 15 min 23 sec 3rd: Braeden Tripp – 15 min 31 sec

Ages 10 to 12 1st: Fillip Gold – 12 min 45 sec 2nd: Dylan Curran – 12 min 46 sec 3rd: Colin Tripp – 12 min 58 sec

The Recreation Department would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped direct the participants along the route and those who prepared the kids for the race. Public Safety also did a great job ensuring that traffic would not interfere with the children.

A special thank you to all of the participants who came out and put in a great effort. We hope to see everyone next year!

NUBIA MALKIN ART CENTER

Nubia Malkin Art Center

By Sarah Blanche Brinsfield, Art Center Coordinator ART JOKE: How do artists flavor their food? (Answer at bottom.)

I sure hope you enjoyed the summer here at The Hideout because we know we did at the Nubia Malkin Art Center! In fact, for some reason, this summer seemed like it was over in a blink of an eye! Art on the Beach, where we go to The Main Lodge Beach, with various art projects, was so much fun this summer and we were delighted to see just how many residents and guests made art projects just during the month of August!

August not only held some of the best Summer Camps that we have ever had at the Art Center, including our New Mosaic Camp, we also held our Adult Art Show, which was a pleasure to the senses with great food, music, and you guessed it, ART! The Hideout’s Adult Art Show was held on the weekend of August 12 and 13 with a Reception at 6:00 p.m., on Sat., August 12. There were 72 pieces of work submitted to us by 14 of our Hideout Residents, consisting of pencil drawings, charcoals, gauche, woodworking, up-cycling, watercolor, acrylics, ceramics, painted wooden jewelry, and photography! I would like to take the opportunity to express the gratitude I have towards my staff, Lisa Williamson, Barbara Pannone, and Westen Johnson. Without their help, along with Brad Schumacher, for helping to hang the pieces, and Margaret Melendez, for making our facility spotless, both from the Maintenance Dept., and Re/Max Best and the Hideout Association for the Arts for their generous donations, this year’s show would not have been so flawless! The show was an overwhelming success and the staff and I look forward to seeing what you will create during the next year… ART the World!

Let’s leap into September with our Labor Day Weekend Sale on Saturday and Sunday, 9/2 & 9/3, with 50% OFF your Paints or Glazes, when you paint a piece In-Studio!

Don’t miss this Back-To-School Special that only comes once a year! We have a wide variety of ceramic pieces that you can choose to paint with either acrylic or ceramic paints and friendly staff to help you every step of the way! You may come in any day or time that we are open to paint, no reservations required! With the children returning to school, our fall hours will once again begin on Sept. 5. Nubia Malkin Art Center Hours will be: Wed. 10:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. Fri. and Sat., 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., and Sun. Noon-5:00 p.m. The Nubia Malkin Art Center will remain closed on Mondays and will close on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the season. We can open for Special Reservations or Birthday Parties during off hours. Just give us a call and we will set something up that is just right for you and your group!

OPEN STUDIO ART CLASS $10 Begins again every Wednesday, starting Sept. 13, 10:00 a.m.-Noon. This is the perfect opportunity to bring your current art project, any media, any level, and allow our Artist-in-Residence, Sarah Blanche Brinsfield, to help you explore your creativity! Come once, or every Wednesday, to hone your skills! Don’t be afraid! Adventure lies just beyond your comfort zone!

Wed., Sept. 20. LAST DAY TO ORDER CUT-OUT NAMES in a CERAMIC OWL LANTERN or JUMBO PUMPKIN FOR our October 20 “HOW-2 LADIES NIGHT.” Call 570.698.4100 X 164 for more information or to reserve yours. While supplies last!

HOW-2 LADIES NIGHT: Fri., Sept. 22, 6:00-9:00 p.m. $20pp. It’s Ladies Night, and we feel alright, so let’s paint the sky, and learn a new skill tonight! This How-2 LADIES NIGHT features our favorite ceramic Spoon Rest, taught SPOOKY-Style, as either a Ghost or a Pumpkin. (You will have it just in time for October!) If you have never painted ceramics before, this is the night for you! You will be taught, step-by-step, how to paint your ceramic piece, while you enjoy the company of some of our finest Hideout Residents. The event is B.Y.O.B., and snacks and laughter will be provided for FREE! RESERVATIONS are REQUIRED to ensure a ceramic piece.

COIL PLATES Craft Day: Sat., Sept. 30 1:00-4:00 p.m. $22pp. Instead of Coil Pots, we are designing Coil Plates with Clay! This fun spin on the ordinary gives the sculptor the opportunity to get creative with their coils! In this 3-hour class, enjoy less “pressure” working on a flat surface and take some time working with our colorful glazes! Wear clothes that can get messy. Students will be called when plates are finished (approx.

7-10 days.). RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Story-Explory Time is a chance for you to pull up a carpet square, relax with your child or grandchild, and enjoy an interactive story time, followed by a craft or painting project that explores one or more concepts from the book, while teaching things like fine motor skills and cooperation. Each Saturday at 10:15 a.m., we sing a song about the colors of the rainbow and then explore pages of a specially picked book or sometimes two!

The story is always FREE and projects start at just $2. We also now have a sharing time where we can share any ARTWORK that we have created during the previous week! Don’t forget to bring your Masterpiece! Our book and project list for the month of September is as follows: 9/2 David Goes to School by David Shannon. David is an excited little boy who doesn’t quite know what to do when he gets to school. Everyone will earn a Star at the end of this story as we learn to draw and paint stars! $4 and up depending on what you create your stars on (canvas board or tile.)

9/9 Grover Sleeps Over by Elizabeth Winthrop. Grover’s never been on a sleepover before and is a little nervous. He quickly learns that sometimes doing things differently is okay, too! Let’s paint a ceramic Sesame Street Character, while they last! $12 and up.

9/16 10 Apples Up On Top by Theo LeSieg. This super-fun Counting book is so much fun to read! First we count all the Apples up on Top, then we balance them on our heads and take silly photos. The fun doesn’t stop there when we cut up our apples to make fun stamps! $2-8.00.

9/23 The Ants Go Marching Sing-A-Long. We all know the words! And if you don’t we’ll teach them to you! “The Ants Go Marching one-by-one, Hurrah! Hurrah!” After this children’s story time favorite, we will paint ceramic bugs in explosion glazes, while supplies last! $8 and up.

9/30 All The Places to Love by Patricia MacLauchlan. “Eli will grow up knowing that no matter where the rest of his life takes him, all the places to love, are right here.” This readers’ favorite is a Story-Share Time Treasure! We will be painting ceramic photo frames $22 each.

ART JOKE ANSWER: With Cezanne-ings! (You can go ahead and groan at this one!)

By: Harry Ballard H.I.S.

If your hearing was lost suddenly, or has been lost over time, you will not hear again like you once did with normal hearing. Focus on your improvement, not on those negative times when your hearing aids don’t let you hear what you want to hear. Your hearing aid’s job is to help you hear better, not perfectly.

The ‘tinny’ or mechanical sounds you hear are normal. These are the soft, high frequency sounds you have been missing. Your hearing aids are giving these sounds back to you. This may be bothersome at first, but better understanding comes from letting you hear them. Be patient while your brain gets reacquainted with these sounds.

At first, your voice may sound strange to you. Some wearers say that in the beginning they sound like they are in a barrel. In time, it will sound natural.

Background noise is normal. Normal-hearing people hear it, too. Don’t give up on hearing aids because noise bothers you. Better hearing will require you to put up with a few inconveniences.

Buying hearing aids won’t give you instant gratification. There is a learning curve, which usually takes from six weeks to six months. Success comes from practice and a commitment to wear them all your waking hours. If you purchase a custom hearing instrument, designed to fit your ear, you will likely need to have some adjustments to make it a better fit. Stick with it. You will succeed.

Should your hearing aids ever stop working, do not be alarmed. This is normal. The inner ear canal is 100 percent humidity and remains a constant 98 degrees. Earwax is a combination of salt and corrosive body acid. These conditions are harmful to electronics, but it is in this environment that hearing aids must perform. You will need to bring them in for routine professional care.

THE REWARDS FOR STICKING WITH THE PLAN ARE TRULY WORTH THE EFFORT There is a common discipline followed by all men and women who successfully make the transition to hearing aids. It is called practice. It is an investment that will cost you time and patience. It is an investment that usually begins to pay dividends within 45 days. Once you have logged the sufficient number of hours for our brain to re-acclimate to ambient sounds, you will be able to get on with your life without thinking so much about your hearing.

While we encourage new users to start at a slow pace at home, your ultimate goal should be to use your hearing aids all day, every day. This includes times when it is quiet, times when it is noisy, and times when you may think you don’t need to be wearing them. Unless your hearing aids become part of your habit through daily use, your brain will not be stimulated long enough to learn to interpret the true sounds of your world.

After you have completed your initial week to two weeks of gradual hearing aid use, you should put your hearing aids on first thing when you wake up and take them out at bedtime. It is a mistake to only wear them when you go out to social functions because your brain will be flooded and startled by unfamiliar ambient sounds.

Be patient and don’t give up. Retreat temporarily if you become tired, but don’t wait.

Keep working – it will become easy.

Please stay in contact with us on any concern you have about excessive loudness or lack of perceived benefit. On average, new hearing aid users should come back three or four times during the first thirty days to make adjustments, check your progress, and help you over the tough spots.

40 • SEPTEMBER 2017 REMEMBER WHEN

Who remembers these three initials . . . ABH! Who remembers the slogan . . .

ABH truly is the Heart of the Community.

The Association For A Better Hideout (ABH) was formed in 1988 and had a small group of members.

The objective of ABH was to establish and develop a community awareness of all policies, functions, and activities that affect the Hideout. It provided a forum for all residents to channel their suggestions and complaints to be sent to the Board of Directors Left to right: Virginia Sabia, Jerry Peet, and Betty Sullivan with the backing of the ABH rather than an individual. Back in the 1990’s Hideout Board of Director meetings were not open to the membership, but thanks to the ABH those meetings were now well attended. Their voices were being heard, but little did they know how much their organization would benefit the Hideout in so many other ways.

ABH meetings were held once a month and guests were often brought in to inform the members on various topics such as: Estate Planning, Long Term Care, the Probate Process, Senior Housing, Lifeline (a personal response and support service), Medical Alert Dogs, to name just a few. ABH also realized that they had to get local politicians involved with the Hideout community, to listen to their concerns, so politicans were invited to speak and listen. During one of these meetings, Mr. Jerry Peet, an emergency response coordinator, member of Hamlin Fire & Rescue, and founder of the Hideout Emergency Response Team, who was invited by the ABH to speak, pointed out the need for life-saving equipment and training to service the Hideout membership and the surrounding area. He noticed that there was a major lapse in time between the time of the emergency call and arrival of personnel on the scene, and that something had to be done.

Betty Sullivan, Virginia Sabia, and all of ABH started the process of raising funds to help Hamlin Ambulance get a defibrillator. Members could be found everywhere in the Hideout spreading the message. It took a year, but they raised enough money (over $10,000) to purchase a defibrillator for Hamlin Fire & Rescue and two small AED’s for the Hideout’s Public Safety Department. The purpose of the donations was to get the lifesaving help of a defibrillator to heart patients in The Hideout and surrounding areas quickly. Also donated was a simulator for Hamlin Ambulance personnel and training equipment for use at the Hideout. ABH also secured a doctor, Dr. George, from Wayne Memorial Hospital to be the Doctor on record for all the defibrillators, and he also trained and monitored the program. Also purchased were beepers, jumpsuits, and bags for our Public Safety Officers and also a third defibrillator.

The Hideout, because of ABH was the first community to ever have EMT’s, defibrillators, and small AED’s. In 1997, a Hideout resident was the first person whose life was saved. Lake Wallenpaupack followed our example and started their own Emergency Response Team. ABH President Betty Sullivan and Vice President Don Snyder traveled to a community in North Carolina and helped them organize a similar group.

Virginia Sabia who was on the Hideout Budget Committee established a line item for the EMT’s in the Hideout budget, so that there would always be funds for the Emergency Response Team and to help keep their equipment up-to-date. ABH was so successful that at their 13-year anniversary in 2001, they were 110 members strong.

Betty Sullivan was the only president that served ABH, and Ed Roessler, Don Snyder, and Tony Sabia served as Vice Presidents. In 2005, after 18 years of service to the Hideout, the group dissolved. They had accomplished all that they had set out to do, and most importantly they cared for their Hideout neighbors and surrounding community.

ABH CARE ABH Care was part of the Association for a Better Hideout and was formed in 1992

by Gordon DuBuque. Gordon, who was legally blind, came to the ABH to request that they form a care unit to help people by offering volunteer assistance to their fellow neighbors in cases of emergencies. There were 95+ volunteers who volunteered to go out on emergency calls, pick up residents from the hospital, to see a doctor or pick up a prescription, and other assorted emergency errands, and our volunteers did this with no compensation whatsoever. There was also a health equipment closet on site in the Hideout to provide at no cost, needed medical equipment such as hospital beds, wheelchairs, crutches, etc. when needed. Have you noticed the Wayne County Transportation vans in the Hideout? Thanks to ABH Care and Betty Sullivan’s participation with the Area of Aging for getting this much needed service for our Hideout residents. ABH Care also received the Human Services Award from the Pocono Northeast Community Awards Program in 1993. ABH Care brought a sense of community to the Hideout since its beginning. Neighbors helping neighbors!

If anyone is interested in finding out more about the history of ABH or starting their own organization similar to what the Hideout has please call Betty Sullivan at (570) 698-0905.

A brief history of American football According to Nielsen, 111.3 million people tuned in to watch the Super Bowl in early 2017. Almost two-thirds of adults in the United States say they currently watch National Football League games.

But American football is no longer relegated to the boundaries of the United States, as it is becoming a global sport.

According to the International Federation of American Football, there are 80 countries with organized federations governing the game. Plus, thousands of youth and adult leagues exist all over the world. Even though soccer has long been a global sport, it seems the other kind of “football” is quickly catching up.

The sport known as American football was borne out of the English sports of association football (soccer) and rugby. During the late 19th century, elite Northeastern colleges took up the sport, playing a soccer-type game with rules adopted from the London Football Association. Intercollegiate matches began to spring up at schools such as Rutgers, Princeton, Harvard, and McGill University.

Rugby-type rules became preferential among players and spectators.

Walter Camp, known affectionately as the “Father of American Football,” transformed the rugby-style game into the one that resembles American football today. Camp brought two key innovations to the game.

The opening “scrummage” was eliminated, and a rule was introduced that required a team to give up the ball after failing to advance down the field a specific yardage.

Camp also developed the quarterback position, lines of scrimmage and the scoring scale used in football today.

Early games were controversial because of the high rate of injury. Even President Theodore Roosevelt stepped in to ask collegiate teams to revise regulations to

American football enjoys worldwide popularity and some of the most ardent fans in all of sport. make the game less brutal. The committee overseeing the rules would later become known as the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

Thanks largely in part to the popularity of college football, professional football began to gain traction with the public.

The American Professional Football Association was formed in 1920. That league would later become the National Football League. The first televised NFL game occurred in 1939. Eventually, American football’s popularity would explode.

Cheerleaders were introduced to the game in the 1960s. Currently, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are the most famous squad. Six teams in the NFL do not have cheerleaders: the Chicago Bears, the Cleveland Browns, the Detroit Lions, the New York Giants, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Green Bay Packers.

Football games typically last around three hours. Average attendance for an NFL game is 66,957 spectators.

American football has become a multibillion-dollar industry. What developed on college campuses has grown into a worldwide phenomenon.

FINDING GUIDANCE DURING A DIFFICULT TIME IS COMFORTING.

Satisfy with a simple, spicy app

Hosting often involves serving food, and the following recipe for “Spicy Cheese Balls” from A.J. Rathbun’s “Party Snacks!” (Harvard Common Press) is sure to please hosts who want to serve their guests an hors d’oeuvre that’s simple but spicy.

Spicy Cheese Balls (Makes 35 to 40 bite-size balls) 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 cup finely chopped walnuts

1. Put the cream cheese, cheddar, garlic, parsley, cayenne, black pepper, and salt in a food processor. Process for 5 to 10 seconds, until well blended. Scrape the mixture into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2. Spread the chopped walnuts on a plate. Shape the cheese mixture into 35 to 40 small cheese balls, each about the size of a large marble. Roll each cheese ball in the walnuts, coating the outside (you may to press a little to ensure sticking).

3. Serve the cheese balls on a large platter. You can put a toothpick in each ball, but you could also surround them with crackers and let guests use their hands. It all depends on what kind of party you’re having.

Rain-Rain and more rain. We have received over 14 inches of rain since June 1.

The Club, Senior and Super Senior Club Championships have begun. I will have the results posted in the next Hideabout as all of the matches have not been completed. Jonathon Duffey in his first match had a hole in one on hole number six, congratulations.

The annual Rooney/Cowley Tournament was held the weekend of August 26 and 27.

The annual 9/11 Help a Hero Tournament will be held on September 9. The morning event is sold out but there are openings for the afternoon start. This is a 9 hole event with a dinner dance at the Main Lodge in the evening. Contact the Pro Shop for additional information.

The Fall Classic will be held on Saturday, September 23. This is an 18 hole event. It includes breakfast, hot dogs at the turn, with a luncheon to follow. Refreshments will also be provided on the course.

The golf course will be closed on September 14 for aeration.

We now have a periscope on the 5th hole T box. This was placed there to give golfers the ability to see down the fairway to ensure the previous group is clear of the fairway without driving the cart or walking halfway down the fairway to see if the previous group is clear.

The Pro Shop carries a nice assortment of clubs, balls, gloves and golf apparel. Our prices are competitive with other golf outlets. We invite you to come in and look around.

Remember you must check in with the Pro Shop before proceeding on the golf course.

Unfinished Business: Update on plants at hole yardage markers (move monument & bench on hole #6) - Mike Kline: Replaced plants that did not make it through the winter. Some plants are not getting enough sunlight, Update on shade and netting at practice area: – There were certain golf course budget priorities that may supercede the practice area.

Course communications update: Al Lutzi working with security to improve communication in lower level pro shop. Communications is working fine outside but in the event of an emergency radio communications is needed inside the pro shop to communicate with rangers on the course. Update on Hole #7 drainage: Mike Kline had a crushed drain line replaced so that the water does not back up.

Periscope update: Larry Lutz stated that the periscope has been installed. Larry expressed great appreciation for Lou Dellisanti’s construction of periscope. A cover is also being considered for winter protection. Stain bridge update: Mike Kline had the bridge stained along with yardage markers. Also working on steps to putting green and bench.

Handicap Flag update: Pro Shop was given a Handicap Flag Policy draft recommended by the golf committee. An in depth discussion followed concerning its merits. Widen fairway update: Mike Kline is looking into certain fairways that could be cut wider. However where different grass is used for transition, it may not survive shorter cutting. The same issues apply to grass on the greens.

Ronnie Duffey is considering adding an insert for next year. Trim trees on R/S hole #8 in front of blue tees: Mike Kline is in the process of trimming perimeter reachable trees. Children under 16 half price after 2 P.M. with adult: Suggestion was made for a reduced rate to encourage more children to play the course. Al and Ronnie will revisit the existing policy.

Course superintendent is not in favor of idea. Uses of sign holders on carts: A concerned Hideout member questioned the use of the sign holders on carts. Al Lutzi stated that the realtor is paying for the ads in the holders and different cards are inserted for tournaments and leagues where applicable. Ken Procopio will investigate using an insert below the ad.

A question was asked if there was an aeration date. Mike Kline mentioned that aeration is normally done after the 9-11 Tournament. A firm date has not yet been established.

Proposed Golf Tournament Calendar 2017

From The Rough Notes:

A Club golf tip from Larry Golf Teaching Pro Championship matches mustLutz, be 100%Hideout complete within 3 weeks of the 1st round start!

This tip is for the address position.

When setting up to drive, look at the front of the ball (not the back of it), as this target side- focus encourages you to swing the club powerfully through in the impact zone with maximum acceleration. Staring at the back of the ball encourages you to hit at the ball, rather than through it, and often decelerates the club at impact.

I hope you find this tip helpful, but most of all, remember the good shots, learn from the bad shots and have fun.

FALL AERATION OF GREENS AND TEES Thurs., Sept. 14. The Golf Course will be CLOSED Enjoy golf? Volunteer some time as a member of the Golf Committee. The Committee meets on the 2nd Friday of each month May through September. Meetings are focused and last around one hour.

If interested please contact the Golf Pro Shop at (570) 698-4100, Ext 180.

Youth Golf Camp Our Youth Golf Camp was held July 31 through August 4 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. for ages 8 through 12. This year we had 14 eager participants. They enjoyed four days of lessons at the nets, chipping and putting areas. On Friday, we took the group out to play on the Golf Course where they had the opportunity to put everything they learned into practice. All did well. This was followed by Ice Cream and a Trophy Presentation. Don’t forget to sign up your children next summer for a fun time.

Marcellus Shale Gas Wells and Your Drinking Water As your water supplier, one of our responsibilities is to stay apprised of any activities that may impact the area of contribution to the drinking water wells which serve this community. Such activities include aboveground storage tanks; underground petroleum storage tanks; auto repair shops; gas service stations; animal feedlots; fuel oil storage; household cleaning supplies; swimming pools; wells (abandoned or active) and boreholes (abandoned or active). Additionally, we also stay apprised of any gas well drilling activities, receiving automatic notification of any permits issued or otherwise acted upon, and we have conducted pre-drill testing of all wells in order to establish a baseline chemistry of the water prior to any drilling activity. As the majority of Wayne County PA lies within the Delaware River Basin, Marcellus Shale gas well drilling activities are strictly regulated. The Delaware River Basin Commission has established standards, requirements, conditions and restrictions to prevent, reduce or mitigate depletion and degradation of surface and groundwater resources and to promote sound practices of watershed management including control of runoff and erosion. Commission regulations are one mechanism by which the Basin states and federal government work together to manage water resources in an integrated manner for the benefit of all citizens of the Basin. Due to advances in natural gas extraction technologies, many natural gas development projects may be proposed for the Delaware River Basin. Each will involve land disturbance for such appurtenances as roads, well pads, pipelines, impoundments, and compressor stations. These activities will take place on lands that are the most critical to protection of water resources and the most vulnerable in the Delaware River Basin. However, water sources located within the basin may not be used to serve natural gas development projects unless and until the Commission has issued an approval in the form of a docket or protected area permit, as appropriate, to the withdrawer.

To date, no gas well drilling activity has taken place within the area of contribution to the wells serving The Hideout. For more information, please visit our website at http://www.roamingwood.com for more information regarding your drinking water.

WHERE ARE YOU? It is of the utmost importance that any emergency first responder be able to find your home in an emergency. A few minutes can make a huge difference in the outcome. Compliance & implementation by Lot Owner required by July 01, 2017.

(Motion by S. Wilmot, seconded by J. McNichol, and passed 7-0) LOT NUMBER SIGN POST MAINTAIN YOUR SIGN POST IN GOOD CONDITION. First Responders (Fire, EMT, etc.) need to find you as quickly as possible in an Emergency!

ALL LOTS in the Hideout are required to have an emergency post. Numbers must be visible in poor lighting conditions. Additional personal signs are OK, but should not block the numbers.

Your EMERGENCY SIGN POST is an important item that may need some needed maintenance before the summer season. Most of these are wood posts, which should display BOTH the Lot Number and the Emergency Number. Numbers must be displayed on both sides of the post. You may not realize how important this simple inexpensive item is until you experience an emergency situation. First Responders need to find you as fast as possible!

ALL Developed LOTS in the Hideout are required to have an emergency post.

Numbers must be visible in poor lighting conditions. Don’t know your “emergency number”? Call the Main Office (570) 698-1400, x166 or x102. Reflective number stickers (free) can be obtained at the Rt 590 Main Gate - Public Safety Office.

HIDEOUT SINGLES OVER SIXTY

This Hideout group is for part timers and full timers. Some members are snow birds and some are not, and some are men and some are women. But, the one thing everyone has in common, is that they want to make new friends and have fun.

The group meets for dinner every Monday at 5:00 p.m. at the Clubhouse. It is more of a meet-up group where people can exchange e-mail addresses, phone numbers, plan dinners, card games or trips. Some may decide to share a table or two at a dinner or dance being held at the Main Lodge because they may not feel comfortable going alone. So, if you would like to meet, join them for dinner on Monday night.

The HASG meets the second Thursday of each month (except December) at 1:00 p.m. at the Lodge. Refreshments are always served. All interested Hideout members are welcome to attend our meetings. Let us know you’re coming and a member of our Welcoming Committee will greet you. For more information please contact Katie Lane (570) 698-5499, nankt@aol.com.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

GOOD NEIGHBORS CLUB The Hideout Adult Social Group (HASG) is expanding our recently-formed Good Neighbors Club. We are pleased to coordinate the following Good Neighbors Club services to all members of the Hideout Community: 1.

Many of us own wheelchairs, walkers and other medical equipment that we are not currently using. Others are in need of some of this equipment for a period of time. The HASG is compiling a list of such equipment.

The intent is to have a central contact point where those in need can inquire about who may have the equipment they need and be willing to loan it to a fellow Hideout member. If you possess such equipment and are willing to help out by lending it to a Hideout neighbor, or if you are in need of same, please contact Louise Brevet, Chairperson at (570) 698-5102, or Judy Restaino, Co-Chair at (570) 698-9840.

2.

A number of us have survived major illnesses: cancer, heart attacks, strokes, etc. If you are a survivor of a life-threatening illness and are willing to talk, one on one, with others currently going through a similar situation, or if you are fighting such a situation and would like an opportunity to talk to someone who has “been there done that” please contact Louise Brevet, Chairperson at (570) 698-5102, or Judy Restaino, Co-Chair at (570) 698-9840. Confidentiality will be observed.

3.

Many of our neighbors live alone. If you are by yourself and would like a daily phone call from a fellow community member, or if you would like the opportunity to brighten someone’s day with a friendly “hello, how are you today?” then again please contact Louise Brevet, Chairperson at (570) 698-5102, or Judy Restaino, Co-Chair, at (570) 698-9840.

HIDEOUT ADULT SOCIAL GROUP

The HASG was formed in 1980 to provide an opportunity for Hideout members, including renters, age 40 and over, to meet with and socialize with other members of our community. If you enjoy meeting new friends, socializing with old friends and like to party, then the H.A.S.G. is for you. Typical events include dinner dances, picnics, luaus, a “social” golf league, local outings, travel and anything else you can think of that involves socializing, dining and just generally having a great time with wonderful friends new and old.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMINDERS RECYCLING

Recycling is open Monday - Sunday 24/7 The Maintenance Department accepts Bulk Items Monday - Friday at the Maintenance Shop between 11:30 a.m. - 12 noon, Saturday morning by appointment only, (570) 698-4100, ext. 133. (fees apply) No electronics accepted, i.e., computers, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc. Also not accepted are tires, paints, thinners, oils, etc.

_________________________

COMMINGLED RECYCLING Single stream (also known as “fully commingled” or “single-sort”) recycling refers to a system in which all paper fibers, plastics, metals, and other containers are mixed in a collection truck, instead of being sorted by the depositor into separate commodities (newspaper, paperboard, Corrugated fiberboard, plastic, glass, etc.) and handled separately throughout the collection process. In single stream, both the collection and processing systems are designed to handle this fully commingled mixture of recyclables, with materials being separated for reuse at a materials recovery facility.

_________________________

TREES What To Do If A Tree Is About To Fall From One Lot To Another?

Even though the Hideout has an easement between properties, this matter is strictly between the parties involved.

This includes limbs, branches and trees. If you have this situation, notify the property owner whose property presents the hazard.

The Hideout does not provide information relative to the Membership.

You should call the Wayne County Tax Assessment Office at (570) 2535970 or the internet at taxassessment officewaynecountypennsylvania.com.

You should also contact your insurance company. Another resource is the internet for the purpose of researching Pennsylvania Real Estate Law on the subject. Again, this is a civil matter between the parties involved and cannot be resolved by the Hideout.

Note: In the event that the tree is on Hideout Common Property, the Land & Environmental Planning Manager should be notified so that the appropriate action can be taken to remove the hazard.

_________________________

PROPANE TANKS Safety Guidelines For Propane Tanks: Homeowners who decide to install a propane tank on their property need to be aware of the new guidelines for such. A Propane Permit is needed. The National

Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) has established a set of rules that govern the requirements for the clearance around propane tanks in the NFPA 58 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code. Size of the clearance radius will depend on type of installation and the size of the tank.

Vertical Tanks – The requirements for the clearance around vertical propane tanks under 125 gallons depends on the location of ignition sources, venting windows and doors. The tank itself may be placed against the house or building, but it has to be at least ten (10) feet from an ignition source such as a water heater and three (3) feet from a venting window or door.

Horizontal Tanks – Horizontal tanks, also referred to as vessels, come in three main sizes: 330, 550 and 1,000 gallons. The size of the vessel normally depends on the propane requirements and the size of the structure using the fuel. The requirements for the clearance around the 330 and the 550 gallon propane tanks are at least ten (10) feet from the structure. Ten (10) feet from the property line and ten (10) feet from any ignition source. The 1,000 gallon propane tank requires at least twenty five (25) feet of clearance from the structure, the property line and any ignition sources.

Also, be aware that according to our Protective Covenants and ECC Manual, every fuel storage tank on any lot shall be either buried below ground or screened to the satisfaction of the Committee.

_________________________

APPROVED 2016-2017 FEE SCHEDULE FOR PERMITS Non-FEE Permits: Painting – Staining (match to color chart) Re-Roofing Siding (vinyl, wood) FEE based Permits: Additions $ 100 Deck (Replacement) (New $ 75) $ 50 Dock / Bulkhead $ 60 Driveway (pave, repave) $ 50 Excavation / Demolition $ 40 Fuel Storage Tanks (Propane, Oil) $ 20 Garage – attached $ 100 Garage – detached $ 100 Gazebo $ 45 Generator $ 20 Landscape (major) $ 40 New Home $ 600 Parking Pad $ 45 Pet Enclosure or Electronic Fence $ 10 Porch / Sunroom $ 100 Railing $ 40 Retaining Wall $ 30 Satellite Antenna $ 10 Shed $ 45 Tree Removal $ 20 * New Home Tree Removal Deposit $3,000 Refundable

Please remember that if you apply for a permit, it is not automatically given. There is a process, which could take up to two (2) weeks.

The ECC has to review the application and then a permit is approved or denied.

If you have been denied, the Hideout will send you a letter with the reason(s) why it was not approved. You can then make the corrections and it will be reviewed again at the next meeting. Also, remember that nearly everything you do outside of your home requires a permit. Please call Francine Spinelli, at (570) 698-4100, ext.

102 if you have any questions. Thank you.

Please pick up your permits at the POA Office. When your project is complete, sign and return your permit to the POA.

_________________________

MEMBERS AND CONTRACTORS Among the items that the Environmental Control Committee will look for when going over your application is an “As Built” survey. There are several reasons for this: • To be sure of the placement of any structures on your property.

• To be sure of setback lines.

When turning in an application for any of the below permits, you must have an “as built” survey. • Garages (both detached and attached) • Decks • Driveways • Sheds • Additions • Dock/Bulkhead • Gazebo, Patio, Sunroom • Major Landscaping. This survey will be marked as “existing” not proposed. If you have any questions, please call Fran at (570) 698-4100, ext. 102. In some cases we might have a copy of the survey in our files. Please understand that this might not be an “as built” survey.

HELP A HERO FUND

THE HIDEABOUT NEWSPAPER

NEVER FORGET On September 11th 2017, the 16th anniversary of the Terrorist attacks upon the United States of America, we will hold a ceremony at Reflection Park to fulfill our commitment to Never Forget. By gathering as a community each year, we can continue to renew our commitment to the values of Hope, Peace, Tolerance and Perseverance.

This year's Ceremony will be starting at 8:30AM, and will include a prayer that we always start at 8:46AM. This is the exact time the first terrorist plane hit the World Trade Center. This prayer is read in front of every Firehouse in New York City at exactly the same time.

This year we will be honored to have members of the American Legion join us as we pause to pay tribute to all the victims who perished on that dark day. Please come to Reflection Park at 8:30 AM and renew our promise to Never Forget. All gave some and some gave all.

The Ceremony will end with the American Legion giving a rifle salute and playing Taps.

PLEASE HELP “THE HELP a HERO FUND” BUS TRIP TO THE 9/11 MEMORIAL & MUSEUM

As you are aware, The Hideout Help a Hero Fund, since its establishment in 2006 have assisted our local 1st responders and their families in their time of need (over $25,000) . In addition, we have provided 2 flagpoles to the community, purchased training manikins for our First Response Team, AED trainers and manuals so that our Public Safety can offer free CPR & AED training to our community, and a rescue sled for the Ski Hill. We have also built and maintain Reflection Park, the Veteran’s wall of Honor at the Lodge, and in addition we host the Memorial Day, 9/11, and Veteran’s Day programs all including a brunch after the ceremonies.

Mr. Joe Kozuch, Director Public Safety, Last Saturday, July 29, while on our way to St. Thomas More church, we had an accident at the intersection of Boulder Road and Northgate...right by the mailboxes.

Within minutes your department was at the scene, and promptly accessed the situation. Because my husband had open-heart surgery last summer my concern was for his well being, and as such Alysa called for an ambulance, which did take us to Regional. Happily, he is ok and at home.

She and Sal also took statements from us, the other driver and witnesses. Sgt. Murray also arranged for the Honesdale State Troopers to come to the scene of the accident.

The point of this letter is to let you know what an efficient team you have.... polite, reassuring, well versed on their duties as patrol officers for the Hideout. We were especially impressed with the two young members, Alysa & Sal. They kept everything at the scene very calm and took the time to explain everything to us, which alleviated a lot of the stress involved in the accident.

Thank you to all of you!! We want you to know how much you are appreciated.

Patricia & John Zeman A Huge Thank You! On behalf of the Hideout Flyers Swim Team, we would like to say thank you to the Food & Beverage Department at the Main Lodge.

The year’s Swim Team Banquet was a huge success. The food and service was outstanding. Lisa and Brett thank you for working with us to create an awesome Banquet.

The Hideout Quilters came to the rescue of over 500 Flags from our field of flags that had their poles damaged due to the weather conditions after their placement at Reflection Park. After the flags were removed from the damaged staffs and were heading towards retirement and disposal (flag burning ceremony) the Quilters instead took the flags and turned them in to patriotic pennants to be used to decorate the community on the 4th of July and other patriotic occasions.

Pictured above from the left are: Sarah Ford and Fran Malloy as the Quilters proudly present the fruits of their labor to Joe Acla, Community Manager, and Bob Wiegand, President of The Help a Hero Fund.

The Hideout Quilters would like to invite you to volunteer 2-3 hours of your time to help in preparing the Hand Made Treasures they donate to the local hospitals and nursing homes. Sewing skills are not necessary but are helpful. They have many openings for the various phases of their production.

You are invited to participate on Wednesdays between 12:30 PM and 3 PM and on Fridays from 9:30 AM to 12 Noon, downstairs at the Clubhouse.

THE HIDEABOUT NEWSPAPER

Cultural Connections September 2017 By: Bette O’Brien

How quickly summer flew by. One of the highlights for my family was attending the Saratoga Performing Arts Programs (SPAC). The Philadelphia Orchestra is in residence for the summer and perform to an audience of thousands. Special guest cellist was none other than the incredible rock star of the classical world…Yo-Yo Ma. Thrilling!

Now let’s get to performances in NEPA. The Auxilliary of Wayne Memorial Hospital presents “The Mahoney Brothers” at Woodloch Pines Night Club on Sunday, September 17 at 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. The concert features the music of The Beatles, Elvis, Willie Nelson, Bill Joel, and many more Legends. Tickets are $40 from Katy Wood (570) 647-6427 or Joan Buehl (570) 226-9750. Profits are dedicated to the purchase of Responder 5, a nurse call system.

Be sure to visit Grey Towers in the fall. This is a designated National Historic Site in Milford, PA. built in 1886 by Gifford Pinchot, the first director of the US Forest Service, and twice governor of Pennsylvania. The main building is in the French Chateau style set amidst acres of landscaping and natural woodland. There are guided tours about every hour and include the charming children’s quarters, the library, and an outdoor dining facility where dishes are floated across a small body of water to the diners.

Artists and photographers will have a wonderful afternoon. Open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Call (570) 296-9630 for information.

I promised some information about the Zane Grey Museum, but here’s something better. Join a timely train trip, sponsored by the HASG on September 27. The Stourbridge Line will leave from Honesdale, travel to the Roebling Bridge, then to the Zane Grey home and museum. A docent will be on hand for the group. Price is $33 and includes a picnic lunch. See ad in this paper on page 43 or call Katie Lane at (570) 698-5499. The deadline is September 15.

The wonderful, dynamic Cheryl Boga, Director of Performance Music at University of Scranton, has put together a varied program for the fall semester. All concerts are held at the McLean-Houlihan Center on the corner of Jefferson and Mulberry. Unless noted, all concerts are FREE and there is EZ parking. First up on Sun., September 10 at 7:30 p.m. is The Peter and Will Anderson Trio. They play classic jazz and original pieces. They have appeared at Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, Miami-Dade Center, and more. On September 23 at 7:30 p.m., be entertained by trumpeter/vocalist “Jumaane Smith and Friends.” They have three Grammys, play regularly with Harry Connick, Jr., Michael Buble, and have played for two US presidents. An extra bonus this evening will be the The University of Scranton’s Singers. Plan ahead for October 28.

The University of Scranton Jazz band has guest soloist Kenny Rampton on tap. More about this music in October. I think we could plan a big turnout from the Hideout for this event.

Last minute addition: Wildflower closed the season with “The Cab Calloway Orchestra.” They are a 14 piece stage band with every man (and one woman) an absolute pro. I hope they bring them back again. Keep the ideas coming. Ciao for now.

REAL ESTATE

So You Wanna Sell Your Home? Step 9: Head to Closing Terri Ditty, Broker Associate

The good news: You’re almost home free (or free of your home in this case). You’ve accepted the buyer’s offer, the negotiations are finally winding down, and there is only one more little box to check: closing.

OK, so maybe it isn’t a little thing. And maybe you’re a little worried something is still going to go wrong, but that’s why we’re here! Let’s talk about how to get through closing without a hitch—or barely a hitch (hey, stuff happens).

Get the repairs done First things first: You’ve got to get those repairs done. We get it—the last thing you want to do now is work on a house you are about to sell. But if you agreed to make repairs or improvements, don’t put them off until the last minute. Getting things done ahead of time will give you plenty of wiggle room if something should still go wrong, or if the buyer finds a problem during the final walkthrough (more on that to come).

So check the approved offer, make a note of any repairs you and the buyer agreed on, and get to it—and don’t forget to cover yourself. Save receipts from items purchased and invoices from contractors, and take before and after photos of any work completed.

You will have proof that repairs were completed on the off chance that the buyers contest them during the walkthrough or at closing.

The final walkthrough Before your closing date—often the same day—the buyers and the buyers’ agent will do one more walkthrough of the house (for which you should not be present). They will go through every room of the house, inside and outside—a process that typically takes about a half hour. Some buyers will go into detail, testing every light switch. But in most cases, the buyer is just looking to make sure agreed-upon repairs were made and no new issues have crept up before closing.

Buyers are basically looking for anything unexpected in the home. Say, for example, there was a rug covering a problem area. (Not that you would do that, you awesome seller, you.) If the buyers do find an issue, you may have a chance to fix the problem ahead of time. In most cases, the seller would be notified immediately after the walkthrough. If the problem is big enough, you may have to delay your closing date to give time for the repair. But that only happens occasionally. Often, the buyers will take a trade. Many times, the buyers ask for money instead. But once the documents are ready to go, the terms usually can’t be altered to include the new amount, and that is where the trade comes in.

The closing.

Many closings go smoothly. By this point, the buyers are excited to get into their new house, agreed-on repairs have been made, and the sellers are ready to get out. If things are going smoothly, the closing for you might boil down to a blur of paperwork.

The sellers sign a few documents and will have to sit through an hour or so of watching the buyer sign.

Unless problems creep up—or the buyer wants to negotiate further—you only have two jobs: waiting and reading documents. Some are worth perusing more than others. For example, make sure you pay close attention to the settlement statement. There are other documents you’ll need to sign like a warranty deed but the settlement statement is the most important. It includes the money you’re making on the sale, plus tax implications.

Make sure to check that these numbers match up with what you’ve been told and were expecting—and if not, pull your real estate agent or attorney aside and point them out.

Last-minute drama.

So what if things aren’t going smoothly? What if the buyers want to negotiate again?

The buyer has the right to hash out concerns up until the time they sign the final document and take possession of your house. It makes sense to at least hear them out. After all, you’ve come this far.

If the buyer is negotiating for something you can solve without amending the terms (say, for example, you can offer up the washer and dryer in the house), you’ll probably be able to hammer those details out at closing. But if you and the buyer have negotiated a lower price at the last minute, you may have to delay closing.

Once the negotiations are handled and the papers are signed, the buyers’ funds are transferred to their attorney, who will handle the payments to cover your loan and pay your real estate team. Thankfully, this part is handled by someone else.

And then comes the best part: You’ll get a check for the remainder, usually the same day. Go ahead…pop the cork!

‘Tis the season for school and lice

As the school year begins anew, lice often becomes a subject of conversation among concerned parents. In certain areas, such as in classrooms and locker rooms, lice easily can be transferred from person to person.

Understanding this common foe can help students avoid it and parents recognize it when it’s present.

A louse is an ectoparasite, meaning it feeds on its host while living on the surface of the Schools, daycare centers and babysitting host’s body. Although lice can affect various centers are common places for lice to strike. parts of the body, they are most notably present on the scalp. Research indicates that head lice have been spreading among humans for millenia. Ancient Egyptian and Greek books of medicine make reference to lice, and they have even been found on prehistoric mummies. No one is quite sure just how lice originated, though it is suspected they once targeted another host species, but then adapted to living among humans.

Unlike lice that congregate on other parts of the body, head lice are not a vector for disease transmission. They are relatively innocuous, but can be quite a nuisance. The insects are adept at clinging to human hair and feeding on blood from the scalp.

Anyone can get lice, regardless of their personal hygiene or lack thereof. Schoolaged children between the ages of four and 14 catch lice more frequently than adults.

Although firm data on lice infestations is difficult to come by, estimates suggest that as many as 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States among children between the ages of three and 11. Head-to-head contact with an already-infested person is the most common way to get head lice, offers the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Head lice can be spread when people sit closely to one another, such as in a classroom or theater. It is very rare that lice are spread through shared belongings such as hats, combs or on furniture. Pets do not play a role in the spread of head lice.

Lice tend to congregate behind the ears and at the neckline at the back of the head.

Sometimes, they can be found on the eyelashes or eyebrows. Lice can be difficult to detect, and they may not produce symptoms. In some instances, itching and irritation may be so mild that it goes unnoticed. Plus, because eggs (nits) and even adult lice are so small, they can be difficult to identify.

Treating lice typically involves using specialized combs to remove nits and lice.

Pesticide shampoos and lotions or nonpesticide treatments may be used to eradicate the lice. Limiting head-to-head exposure is the best way to avoid a lice outbreak.
