President’s Message

t the time I wrote my July column Larry Frotten was the Assistant Community Manager. Congratulations and best of luck to his appointment as our new Community Manager.

of the season. To address this serious problem we are also reviewing having one of our Patrol Boats With the creative interviews conducted by on Roamingwood Lake at night prior Larry Frotten and his administrative team to July 4th, on July the Board has recently hired the following 4th, and after July individuals for the positions listed: 4th. While no one can deny that Fireworks Karen Kegel, Food and Beverage Manager are exciting, thrilling and inspirational, that Started July 15, 2019 is not the full story. The bigger issue is the potential damage from the Fireworks.

Ken Lehman, Maintenance Supervisor Please remember that if it is dry, sparks Starts August 5, 2019 can set off a fire and cause devastating Nick Ardito, Lieutenant Public Safety damage and loss of homes and property.

Started July 16, 2019 Going back to Colonial days, John Frank Trinisewski, Interim Accountant Adams remarked “That independence be Started July 15, 2019 observed annually with pomp and parade, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and Mr. Trinisewski, who was formerly illuminations from one end of the continent employed by our accounting firm, Zavada to the other from this time forward forever Associates, was hired on an interim more.” basis and will be primarily responsible for developing the 2020 Operations and The State of PA now allows the sale of Capital Budgets. Those budgets will be fireworks to PA residents. Previously we submitted to the Budget Committee for could only purchase sparklers and the their review and then presented to the like. Nevertheless, the POA is a private, Board for its review and deliberations and not-for-profit community that has the right ultimately presented to the Community. to establish our own Bylaws, Rules and We are experiencing serious problems with recycling and trash. Michael and Larry will probably address this topic.

Nevertheless, no one, not homeowners nor contractors are allowed to put construction debris in recycling or trash. Recycling and trash disposal are becoming complex issues. The Board is in the process of developing a recycling and trash disposal process that will lead to heavy fines for violators. Repeat violators run the risk of loss of privileges. This is cautionary comment to all.

I hope all enjoyed our July 6th approved fireworks presentation. July 4th weekend was great for us financially; far superior to last year. However, there is a constant problem with the use of fireworks. The only permit for the use of fireworks in The Hideout had been issued to Maiocco Contracting, and anyone else shooting off fireworks is in violation of our rules and regulations. Our current policy is that a violator of our fireworks rule will pay a $150.00 fine, and a repeat violator will pay a $300.00 fine. The Board is currently reviewing an enhanced fine structure whereby the first fireworks violation will be significantly increased and the second violation will be double the first one, plus the loss of privileges for the rest

Regulations and Policies. To that end, the use of fireworks – unless approval is granted – are prohibited in The Hideout.

Sparklers are allowed but only on your property and not in the streets and/ or amenities. Why is this so difficult to understand, acknowledge, and accept?

The kind, considerate words of John Adams would run afoul of our Rules and Regulations concerning bonfires and illuminations. That is simply the evolutionary pursuit of historical ideas and concepts.

Community Manager’s Message

nother exciting, patriotic and enjoyable 4th of July celebration at The Hideout has come and gone. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the outstanding performance by the employees during the week-long celebration. The result of their work and planning provided the community with one of the best financial returns in recent memory. Our staff at Food and Beverage, Public Safety, Maintenance, Recreation, Golf, and POA administration performed remarkably and should be recognized for their performances. The many people that attended various venues and events provided a challenge to our staff; however, the challenge was met.

Our fireworks display on July 6th was delayed because of the weather, but the performance was accomplished. I must say, “I was impressed with the display and people that were present where I was agreed.” The fireworks’ presentation has been an event that The Hideout has enjoyed for many years. The POA is pleased we have the opportunity to provide such a patriotic display for our members and visitors.

On other fronts, the pickle ball courts have been completed at the Main Lodge tennis courts and are now available for use. We have been informed the muchanticipated Mini Golf Course will be installed in the next few days. Scheduling and weather have been constant issues which have delayed the installation. The Golf Course has been enjoying the sun as most of us have, thereby allowing some drying to take place.

We are happy to announce the hiring of three individuals to fill vacancies created in the past few weeks. Karen Kegel has Another area the Board is reviewing is accepted the position of manager, Food repeat violations by contractors, be they and Beverage. Ken Lehman has accepted residents or non-residents. Our Rules, the position of Maintenance Supervisor.

The community and for all to enjoy our management team of the POA was amenities. Repeat violations will be subject impressed with the credentials of all these to increased fines. When that does not new members to The Hideout team. We prove to be a deterrent from continual look forward to working with them and violations, a higher form of discipline will be imposed, including banning a contractor from working in The Hideout.

The Hideout is a diverse POA second to none in NEPA. Let’s work together to keep it at that high level.

wish them good fortune in their new endeavors.

The Hideout is very fortunate to have them join the other outstanding members of our team.

On another subject, I would like to advise our members and their guests, that The Hideout has very strict rules regarding the use of our compactor and recycling facility. As the Community Manager, I monitor the recycling on a daily basis as does our Maintenance and Public Safety departments. I and a board member recently observed two members disposing of construction materials in our facility. By now, all members should know that this is against our rules; rules that are prominently displayed. The members questioned whether The Hideout was attempting to prevent them from working on their homes. The members were informed that they certainly can work on their home, however they are not entitled to dispose of construction materials in our recycling facility. The Hideout offers homeowners the ability to dispose of such materials, fees apply, between the hours 11:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Members can call Maintenance at (570) 698-4100, ext.

132 to arrange for such accommodations.

We also have Bulk Garbage Day coming up on September 28, 2019, no fees apply for first load. The home owners involved were cited and will be required to pay a fine. We urge all our members to be vigilant regarding this type of disregard for our rules and ask all to follow the rules regarding the use of our recycling and disposal facility.

A warm welcome to our members, their guests and renters to The Hideout. We hope you enjoy all the fine amenities and many activities we sponsor. We only ask that you respect our rules and regulations and are respectful to each other. More importantly, we hope you enjoy your stay.

POA NEWS

FROM JOE KOZUCH, PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR

Public Safety Corner I would like to address a problem at our beaches that has seemed to have rekindled this past 4th of July Weekend.

The problem exists when people try to save spots on our beaches by leaving beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc. unattended on the beach, referred to by some in The Hideout as “Crop Circles”.

I would like to remind everyone of the motion that was passed by the Board of Directors back in April of 2006. The motion reads as follows: Motion #0617 RESOLVED it is not permitted to reserve space on the beaches or the pool areas. Personal property such as blankets, chairs, umbrellas or coolers, left unattended for a period of longer than one hour will be removed from the beach or pool area by Public Safety or the Aquatics staff if the owner of the property cannot be located. I am asking everyone to be considerate of their fellow members and to refrain from leaving items on the beach when they are not there. Let’s all work together to help make our beaches and pools here The Hideout enjoyable for all.

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce our new Public Safety Departments Operations Supervisor Nicholas (Nick) Ardito, who recently came on board with the department last month.

Nick is a retired police officer from New Jersey who worked as a University Police Officer in Newark, NJ for four years, a Police Officer/Detective and Sergeant for the New Jersey Transit Police in Newark,

NJ for six years and a Police Officer for the Township of Union, N.J for 20 years. After his retirement from the police department Nick became the District Security Director for the Township of Union, NJ Public Schools for nine years. In that position he supervised 18 security officers in ten school buildings. Union, NJ has a total student population of about 9,000 students and a population of about 60,000 residents.

Nick has been married to his wife Linda for the past 36 years and they have four adult sons. Nick moved from New Jersey about 18 months ago and currently resides in Lords Valley, Pennsylvania.

Nick looks forward to working with the residents of The Hideout and bringing his years of police experience to The Hideout Public Safety Department. Nick is a firm believer of community orientated public safety which means public safety officers stepping out of their patrol vehicles and talking and shaking hands with the residents. When you see Nick around the community please feel free to stop and talk to him and introduce yourselves. Welcome aboard Nick!

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. Have a happy and safe month of August here in The Hideout!

AAny individual obtaining a temporary hanging pass, at any of our gates, must provide the officer:

1. a valid state driver’s license

2. a valid state vehicle registration

3. a license plate number in order to obtain a pass.

Members are encouraged to please advise their guests, contractors, or invitees entering The Hideout of this policy. Thank you!

FROM ROBERT BRINSFIELD, FACILITIES MANAGER

Public Works Corner A s we move forward, environmental issues become an ever-growing issue. Items that we may have taken for granted years ago and assumed were biodegradable may not be. Littering used to be concerning only because it was not aesthetically pleasing.

Now, we know that waste has lasting effects on soil, water, and animals.

Plastics break down into microplastics, but don’t seem to go away. Ultimately, the way we care about nature dictates a future quality of life.

Not all waste can be disposed of at the trash center or in the single stream recycling bins. If you have used car oil, some local car parts stores have a collection container. Many take the material at no cost for recycling. Paint in its liquid form can leak and create a potential environmental hazard. However, if hardened, paint can be thrown away.

Latex solutions will dry up over time if left open. Oil based paint will not dry up if left open and will need a hardener. This hardener will work for latex paint as well.

The compound can usually be purchased in the paint section of a local hardware store. The manufacturers label will have specific instructions.

Oils and refrigerants in cooling equipment must be recovered by a licensed technician for proper disposal.

Batteries can be taken to The Hideout community trash center. Home Depot will take old CFL’s.

If you have old electrical components, they must go through an e-cycler. There are usually fund-raising programs outside the community that take the items for a donation. The next local collection is at the Wallenpaupack High School on Saturday, August 10.

Tips to reduce waste: -Use reusable shopping bags -Buy food with less packaging -Don’t used bottled water unless you have to -Reduce paper usage -Donate when possible -Reuse containers -Upcycle and repurpose

Saturday, August 10, 2019 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Wallenpaupack Area High School 2552 Route 6, Hawley PA 18428 $20 per car load $45 per pick-up truck load Accepted items include: computers, monitors, printers, ink and toner cartridges, peripherals, televisions, washers, dryers, air conditioners, copy and fax machines, scanners, cell phones and pagers, microwaves, battery backups, audio equipment, modems, switches, hubs, routers, cables, wires, power strips, circuit boards, telephones and answering machines, DVD and Blu-ray players, dry cell batteries, sealed lead acid batteries, ballasts (non-PCB)

What interest you in running for the Board of Directors and which aspect of the Board interests you the most?

If elected, what main objective do you see yourself improving on for the community?

Before getting on the board 3 years ago, I had attended all the board meeting’s for 8 years after retiring from Verizon. I decided then that I wanted to do more than just sit in the audience. Change & improvements can only happen if you get involved & work at them. I saw the need to upgrade some of our demographics due to the increasing number of homes being built & growing population. Parking is a big issue for us right now. I don’t think the founding fathers saw the full potential growth of this great community. One of the issues I am (and have been) pushing for is better cell phone coverage. Sprint had approached us about putting a cell tower in the South section, but it’s the North section that needs better coverage. Our new community manager Larry Frotten asked the board to approve the purchase of a booster to be placed at the club house which would improve reception at that location and around the golf course which has next to no service now. There are presently 2 towers with nothing on them. One being on Stockfarm Rd. I would like to get one of the big

providers to get at least one of those location up & running.

The volunteer committee system provides a valuable resource to the Hideout. Please specify what committees or activities you have previously been involved with and your role.

Over the past 3 years I have been board liaison to several committees. I have served as liaison to the communication committee which runs our newspaper & other avenues to keep the membership informed on events & general happenings in the community. I served on the Nomination committee which works with prospective candidates who wish to run for the board. I served on the golf committee which works to improve all aspects of golf & the golf course itself. Everything from replacing items such as broken benches, painted arrows directing golf carts, programs for youth, etc. I myself have also been asked by the committee to build the periscope that is on the 5th hole for the safety of golfers that cannot be seen from the tee box. I volunteered my time to make this & received no payment what so ever.

I have also served on the Environmental Control Committee (ECC) for 3 years. This committee meets every 2 weeks which is 26 meetings a year. It requires a lot time & dedication. The ECC committee reviews & approves (or denies ) all permit application which is a daunting task because most require either a visit to the sight, pictures, as built survey’s, color approvals & bylaw changes which in the past included items such as allowing vinyl siding, color changes, etc. If re-elected, I will continue to dedicate my time for the betterment of The Hideout as a Gold star Community.

What is your long term vision for the community to create a clean and stable environment while continuing economic growth?

When I last served on the Board, we implemented environmentally-friendly and cost-effective practices such as the lake water management program to ensure the health and vitality of our lakes and ponds for years to come. We implemented new recycling hours that provided the membership with greater convenience, while having less trash end up in the waste stream and reduced garbage disposal costs. We also purchased new hybrid security vehicles that work well in standing up to the rigors of patrolling our 42 miles of roads, while enabling us to achieve significant fuel savings.

Now that was several years ago, and of course technical advancements have been made since then. If elected to the Board, I will be committed to seeking out the latest and most cost-effective environmental controls to keep the Hideout pristine.

I’d look to see how we can cut back on on electric and gas usage across our departments and examine the products we use and see what more environmentally-

friendly items can be used.

At monthly Board of Directors meetings member attendance on average is 25 to 30 residents. As a Board member what ideas do you have to get members more involved?

During my tenure on the Board, I always appreciated the commitment of the members that took time out on a Saturday morning to attend Board meetings. But oftentimes, life gets in the way, whether it be weekenders or people with work and family responsibilities that make it impossible to attend meetings. Because of these challenges, as a Board Member, I made myself available to the membership by being visible across the amenities, attending many committee meetings being available by email or phone. I also actively responded to questions and comments made on the now shutdown Hideout Forum and created the POA’s first Facebook page. If elected, I am committed to being fully accessible to the membership.

and city councils and even some property owner associations record their meetings.

Notwithstanding some legal hurdles, it’s about time the Hideout does as well.

What interest you in running for the Board of Directors and which aspect of the Board interests you the most?

If elected, what main objective do you see yourself improving on for the community?

I’ve been a member of the Hideout since 2002. I am deeply committed to keeping our beautiful community a place to raise a family and to spend our retirement years. If elected, I intend to provide my three decades of experience as a public manager to benefit the Hideout as I have held a number of positions in United States House of Representatives, the New York City Council, and high-level Executive posts in New York City government.

Throughout my tenure, I have focused on large-scale operations involving budgets in the hundreds of millions, been involved in many public policy and personnel decisions and specialize in public relations.

One goal would be to livestream and record of Board meetings.

where we vacation and/or live full-time.

Maintenance of our infrastructure is paramount and must be skillfully managed on a day-to-day basis insuring that major unexpected repairs/expenditures are minimized and the need for increased or new assessments eliminated. Responsible long-range planning will provide a “road map” which, if followed, will assure a successful future for The Hideout.

Community involvement through service on Board committees is critical to the success of The Hideout and I will work to increase participation. Communication with the membership via email blasts and The Hideabout newspaper is vital. I will work with staff to maximize the effective use of these tools. We have a state-of-the-art sports complex, clubhouse and banquet facilities, golf course, marina and beaches.

Continuous maintenance and proactive scheduling of activities will encourage full participation and attract members to an active, healthy lifestyle. Today it

is more important than ever to preserve and protect our homes and families. Our dedicated security staff and local volunteer fire departments stand ready to serve and protect. We must continue to support their equipment needs and training programs to keep them prepared. Owning a home in The Hideout not only gives us opportunities for recreation and socialization. . .it must also remain a sound investment. Only by continuing to select qualified leadership will we be able to guarantee members that their investment remains sound. We want our property values to increase and we must maintain our amenities and require adherence to our governing documents to keep The Hideout homes desirable and marketable.

I look forward to serving on the Board of Directors and will appreciate your support in the upcoming election. Thank you.

The volunteer committee system provides a valuable resource to the Hideout. Please specify what committees or activities you have previously been involved with and your role.

Volunteers are the lifeblood of the community. They must be actively recruited, recognized and rewarded for their vital participation in the work of the community. When I hear someone complain about a service or amenity I frequently ask, “have you spoken to the XYZ committee about that concern”? Or “Did you send an email to the Board liaison for XYZ committee? I know they welcome citizen input”. Members need to know that communication is a two-way process

positions within the warehouses, gaining more responsibility and advancement.

and that they are “heard” by committee and Board members. Too often in my first year here I heard, “they don’t listen” or “they don’t seem to care”. We need to improve our communication person to person and to follow-up directly with individuals who voice concerns by telling them what has been done to remedy the situation. Each committee can be the “eyes and ears” of the community. I suggest that once a year every member of every committee and every staff person attend an informational panel discussion made up of the chairs of each committee of the Hideout and the focus of the discussion be “one achievement” and “one continuing challenge” faced by that committee. That way, every committee member is aware of the successes and challenges facing everyone. Service recognition could be given at that meeting.

As a one and a half year resident my experience here is limited, but I like to think that my extensive experience in my previous community (13 years on the Board) has given me a skill set and managerial insights requisite for my meaningful contribution to this Board.

John Thompson

My name is John Thompson and I am seeking your votes to be appointed to The Hideout’s Board of Directors. My wife, Deneen and I, and our three beagles have been permanent residents of The Hideout since 2018. We moved from South Plainfield, New Jersey to The Hideout after my retirement. Since moving to the Hideout, my family, including my granddaughters have been for many visits to enjoy the many features The Hideout has to offer. The many residents of The Hideout have been so welcoming and courteous which has made our experience here wonderful, and if elected as a Board Member I hope I can do the same for others and possibly even make

enhancements to the already wonderful community.

Prior to moving here, I was a lifelong resident of South Plainfield, New Jersey, which is where I grew up, graduated High School and settled to start my own family. For many years, I worked in the construction and trucking industries, and settled to own my own trucking and truck repair business. For the past 10 years’ I have also been a volunteer and a beagle foster parent with Happy Paws Rescue, a non-profit organization dedicated to animal rescue and adoption. As a volunteer, I helped to organize adoption events and find loving homes for numerous animals,

If elected, what main objective do you see yourself improving on for the community?

Having been part of The Hideout for 21 years I have seen the beauty of the assets The Hideout has. I have over 4 generations of family in the Hideout and I hope to see my daughter grow to love The Hideout and want to raise her family her as well. To continue the great reputation the Hideout has, we must work to continue to improve its assets and benefits, but at the same time be mindful of unnecessary spending.

The community has amazing potential and we need to key in on what we already have and improve on them by saving money and allocate the savings to improve our current assets.

The volunteer committee system provides a valuable resource to the Hideout. Please specify what committees or activities you have previously been involved with and your role.

which spent their early life in testing laboratories or were abandoned to high-kill shelters. In addition, for the past 16 years’ I have volunteered my time on Christmas Day, along with my family to organize and deliver hot Christmas dinners to the elderly and disabled residents of South Plainfield, NJ.

involvement has also provided me with the experience involving contracts, maintenance and financial knowledge that is beneficial for a candidate seeking such a position.

I believe my experience as a leader and retired business owner would bring insight and ideas to help the community grow and prosper. In addition, the various positions I have held through my career have provided me with the experience as a team leader and player, that I feel is a very important quality in a Board member. My

Kane Recruiting Committee – Helped create a video showing the benefits of working at Kane to help bring in more applicants.

GI Bill Committee – Presented the information to future Naval officers their education benefits.

I would love to bring my skills as a detailoriented leader to The Hideout’s Board of Directors. I hope to be able to shape and develop ideas and discussions that promote the strong community we live in.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

CYCLING INJURIES Runner’s Knee: Not Just For Runners By: Bernard J. Povanda, PT, COMT, Direct Access Certified

A

nother favorite outdoor activity for many people on these beautiful summer days is cycling. As we get older, many of us turn to cycling being that it’s a non-weight bearing activity that limits the stress and strain on the body. This is better for our knees and joints than running and certain other high impact activities.

As with most activities, improper form can lead to injuries. The seat and handlebar positions are important. Stretching key muscles to create and maintain flexibility also helps to prevent injury by making it easier for the body to maintain proper form. The knees are the most affected by overuse in cycling. Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (aka “Runner’s Knee”) and Patellar Tendonitis are two common cycling-related injuries caused by overuse, weak muscles, and improper form. They are usually caused by weak quadriceps and hip flexors, and the lack of flexibility of the hamstrings and IT bands. Your quadricep muscle in your thigh should hold your kneecap in place, so it tracks up and down. If they are weak, your kneecap can moves left and right and will end up scraping your cartilage. This causes painful friction and irritation, leading to inflammation and pain.

As a physical therapist, we see these knee issues this time of year from patients into cycling. There are key stretches and strengthening exercises that can be done to keep those nagging pains from keeping you off your bike! See your physical therapist not only for evaluation and treatment of your injury, but also to prevent future injuries from occurring. We will get you back on the road!

Landscaping and Community upkeep: The committee discussed that the landscaping around the Clubhouse and other buildings needs work, perhaps the community needs to hire a Landscape Architect. This would need to be a specialized position, a horticulturist.

Robert will check into this.

Marie informed the committee that the Board President has appointed a committee to work on Miller Road. Robert and Bob Addieg will be on the committee.

The next meeting will be on August 10, 2019 at 10:00 in the POA Board Room.

Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association

STAGE 3 CONSTRUCTION UPDATE The major construction, including paving, associated with the sewer and water infrastructure replacement project is now complete. The contractor is now focused on completing the punch list and all of the complaints that were logged into our system. The contractor cannot close out the project until all complaints are resolved and the punch list is completed. However, they are making decent progress through the community and the contract will be closing soon, so if there is a problem with your property and you would like our inspector to look at it please call the office and set up an appointment.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, please call (570) 698-6162 with any questions or concerns.

Important Information Regarding Your Grinder Pump The RS&W Low Pressure Pump System is now 100% in service. This is a good time to remind everyone of the important care and safety tips regarding the pumps that are in your home or at the street.

Your pump is designed to accept household wastewater from your bathrooms, kitchen, laundries and other areas of the home. The units consist of a BARNES grinder pump, level switches, and control/ alarm panel. The control panel is equipped with a red alarm light and audible buzzer that alarms if a failure or after a loss of power occurs. If the control panel alarm signals, you can silence the audible alarm by pressing the external button on the panel. If the light remains on for longer than a few minutes, the system is in some type of failure. At that point, the appropriate service call should be made.

Warranty indoor pumps should contact: CW Sales Corp. at 1(866)607-8677 Indoor pumps that are out of warranty must call a service contractor.

(It is important to have a service provider # handy, to all residents, guests & renters).

EcoTran pumps at the street must call RS&W at (570)698-6162.

(Please listen carefully to Menu prompts, especially for after hours service).

IN CASE OF A POWER OUTAGE: THE LOW-PRESSURE PUMP WILL NOT OPERTATE – PLEASE REFRAIN FROM USING WATER OR FLUSHING TOILETS DURING A POWER OUTAGE. EcoTran Pump Homeowners Please Remember Do not turn power off to you pump Do not cover the pump station cover or put heavy items on it. Keep it accessible, as it will need to be serviced / maintained regularly.

Do NOT attempt to service the unit yourself.

If you leave the home for a long period of time, flush the station clean by running water from various sources in your home for at least 10 min.

Be careful digging in your yard near the unit or its electrical wire. A PA-1 call is necessary for all excavation near the unit. See www.roamingwood.com for more information.

DO NOT put grease down your drains, this is the greatest contributor to system failure and subject to the Three Strike Rule.

Follow the WHAT NOT TO FLUSH recommendations for the unit.

See www.roamingwood.com for more information.

Ground Water & Storm Water Issues As the RS&W sewer infrastructure replacement project is nearing completion, it is important to understand the changes to the natural path of these two water sources. Stages 1 & 2 have already experienced an increase in visible ground water and stormwater run-off. As the RS&W Project comes to final completion, Stage 3 homes will now also be seeing this trend, as the infiltration of this water has been sealed off to our sewer system. For the efficiency of our treatment of wastewater, this is a good change. We understand, however that it may be problematic to homeowners.

Should you be experiencing any significant increase in ground water and stormwater, please contact the Hideout POA for assistance in remediating any damage and addressing any problems that may arise due to the increase in surface water flow.

What’s “Hiding Out” in our Environment this Month?

By: Ryan J. Hill, M.S.Ed, Environmental Manager

The Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) The Wild Turkey has been a vital component of Pennsylvania’s wilderness landscape dating all the way back to Native Americans and the first colonial settlers. There

was a time in the early 1900’s in our state, however, where wild turkey populations were on the brink of extinction due to excessive habitat loss and over hunting.

Population numbers at that time were unfortunately estimated to be between 3,500-5,000 throughout our commonwealth. Thanks to

Here are just a few of the many interesting facts about the Wild Turkey: • There are 5 subspecies of the wild turkey, but only one lives in Pennsylvania, the “Eastern”.

• Males weight in around 16-25lbs, with females at 9-10lbs.

• It was being considered at one point, by Benjamin Franklin, to be our nations emblem but the Bald Eagle was ultimately chosen to represent the USA.

• The origin of its name, Turkey, has several possibilities. Some believe it stems from being confused with Old World guinea fowl from Turkey while others believe it might stem from the description of one of the birds calls, that makes a turk, turk, turk sound.

A third possibility is from a Native American name for the bird, firkee.

• They love to eat tender greens, shoots, tubers, insects, and nuts, but vegetation tends to be the predominate source of their diet.

• They roost in trees at night time to avoid predators, but the hens must nest on the ground during the breeding season. When their young, poults, are about 6 weeks old, they too roost in trees.

Recreation Corner

Pickleball courts are done at the Main Lodge!!!

What is Pickleball?

A paddle sport created for all ages and skill levels. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.

Horizon Sports Group has finished the pickleball conversion project and its available for use for community members. We also offer lessons for pickleball, please call recreation for more details. In my personal opinion this project turned out great and will provide a great opportunity for our

community members.

Nubia Malkin Art Center I hope everybody got the chance to walk through the NMAC in July to see some of community member Mike Seiden’s photos. His art work has been on display at the NMAC for the month of July. There are some amazing photos from all over the world and to be honest some of the greatest work that I have ever seen. It is truly amazing how talented some of our community members are here in The Hideout.

The Communication Committee is looking for new members.

If interested, please fill out an application at the POA Office.

How much exercise does a person need?

THE HIDEABOUT NEWSPAPER

or her stress.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that most healthy adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity, or a combination thereof, every week. Try to engage in strength training for all major muscle groups at least two times per week. The Mayo Clinic says a general goal for most people is to aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day.

Health experts say that this exercise need not all occur at once, either. If a 30-minute walk is not possible, split that up into a few 10-minute walks throughout the day.

Any activity is better than doing nothing at all.

For those with specific fitness goals, it could be wise to speak with a trainer or a doctor about which types of exercises (and durations) are effective.

Physicians may be able to map out a fitness plan that works.

HASG Golf is battling the elements!

A

fter a month and a half, our golf league has only been able to get two rounds of golf in!!

We were ready to call in Noah and even offered him my carpentry tools to build an Ark! Lou Delli Santi offered his services, but let’s hope we don’t need him and the weather is good from here on out. Some of our golfers attempted to play on 7/11 but got “soaked to the bone”, ahhh!, these are times you will remember and laugh about in your fond memories!! I work so hard on trying to get good foursomes put together and three times I had to cancel them!! GRRRR! At this point in time, Pete D is still is in the lead with a 37 round average but that won’t last as he’s still only played once.

Lorraine Procopio and John Schesny are right on his tail with 38 averages and

Lorraine has two rounds in!! The putting contest has Sue Dimmick and John Schesny (again) tied for first with 10 putts per round each, but John has only played one round so we will see what happens as there are seven rounds to play yet!

The Turkey club special at the pub on June 27th was a big hit after golf we got rained out on the Chef’s Salad day special (7/11) but we will see what happens in the future. Meanwhile enjoy the rest of the summer in our wonderful Hideout!! We are so lucky to have a resort-like community to live in!

From The Rough A golf tip from Larry Lutz, Hideout Golf Teaching Pro

E

veryone wants to hit a good long drive, and in most cases, a good hole starts with a good drive. But to hit a really great drive off the tee, you need to start preparing even before you address the ball. It’s important to develop a pre-shot routine that includes positive thoughts and visualization. What does that mean?

Try standing behind the ball before you hit, and as you look down the fairway, visualize the target and imagine a good shot going right at the target. Next, when

you address the ball, you should release any tension that has built up in your body.

You can do this by waggling the club and taking a good, deep breath. Also, make sure you’re comfortable with your alignment before you hit. Finally, take the clubhead back low and slow. And as you do, you can say a little prayer: please let me hit this one straight! You just might surprise yourself.

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

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

Understanding Functional Obsolescence and Your Home By: Terri Ditty, Broker Associate

C

an a perfectly useful home “expire”?

The answer is yes. If you’ve never heard of “functional obsolescence,” now’s a good time to familiarize yourself with the term.

Sometimes a perfectly nice home in fine shape simply won’t sell. Fresh paint, fine curb appeal, a solid neighborhood…and no offers. Sellers are baffled and irritated.

“But I’ve been living in this home ten years! There’s nothing wrong with it!”

Often the culprit is “functional obsolescence.”

Never heard of it? You’re not alone.

Investopedia defines it this way: “A reduction in the usefulness or desirability of an object because of an outdated design feature, usually one that cannot be easily changed. The term is commonly used in real estate, but has a wide application.”

Functional obsolescence can creep up on a home owner, as when a built-in technological feature is no longer useful.

Some homes in the 1970s and 80s had old solid-state intercom systems for communicating between rooms. What was cutting edge then is a retro eyesore now. Built-in entertainment center kiosks or furniture are also a good example of this.

Home owners can introduce functional obsolescence with poor renovation choices. Renovations should always be made with an eye on the possibility that a home will be sold down the line, but occasionally an owner will ignore this.

Take, for example, the massive kitchen renovation which takes an unreasonable bite out of the living room.

Inconveniences an owner has put up with over the years can be classified as functional obsolescence as well. If you have a second floor without bathrooms or a bedroom which must be accessed by walking through another bedroom? That’s a design flaw that can bite you when it’s time to sell.

Neighborhoods can introduce a degree of functional obsolescence as well. When a smaller, older home on a large lot is dwarfed by modern homes with more space, the home itself may lose appeal or value in buyers’ eyes.

If you’re thinking of selling or buying, you should be familiar with the idea of functional obsolescence. Either you’ll want to eliminate the problem or you’ll need to realize the problem will be an issue for you should you choose to sell one day.

FEEDING OF WILDLIFE

Attention Members - Motion Effective January 1, 2016 Reference: Existing Board Resolutions #10-63: MOTION (1): Rescind Resolution #10-63 10-63 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. Motion made by Joel Goldstein, seconded by John Barcarola and passed 6-0.

Motion Made by Rich Straczynski, Seconded by Fred Sakacs Vote was taken results 7 Yes 0 No PASSED MOTION (2): RESOLVED- 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.

Motion Made by Rich Straczynski, Seconded by Fred Sakacs Vote was taken results 7 Yes 0 No PASSED NOTE 1): Any additional violation(s) will be subject to a hearing by the Disciplinary Committee to determine any additional penalties.

NOTE 2): Revenues from initial fines and any additional penalties will be used to offset wildlife management expenses in the Environmental Department.

To stay safe walking, follow these rules of the road: 1. Walk Facing Traffic When Walking on the Side of the Road If there is no sidewalk and you must walk on the side of the road, choose the side where you are facing oncoming traffic. In North America, this is the left side of the road. This gives you the best chance to see traffic approaching closest to you and take evasive action when needed.

2. Walk Single File When Not Separated from the Road Unless you are on a sidewalk separated from the road or you are in a wide bike/ pedestrian lane, you should walk in single file. This is especially important on a road with lots of curves and where traffic has only a split second chance of seeing you before hitting you. While it can be enjoyable to walk down the road two to three abreast chatting merrily, drivers don’t expect it and you may lose your best walking buddies.

3. Stay Aware of Bikes and Runners Share the road and path with bikes and runners. Bike riders should alert you when approaching from behind with a bike bell or a “passing on the left/right.” Listen for them, and move to walk single file, allowing them to pass safely. Runners should also call out for passing. Bike-walker collisions can result in broken bones or head injury for either—and you aren’t wearing a helmet.

4. Be Visible Wear bright colors when walking. When walking at night, wear reflective clothing or a reflective vest to be visible. Drivers are often not expecting walkers to be out after dark, and you need to give them every chance to see you. Be just as cautious at dawn or twilight, as drivers still have limited visibility or may even have the setting or rising sun directly in their eyes.

5. Be Predictable Make a practice of staying on one side of the path while walking rather than weaving randomly from side to side. Watch your arm motions, or you may end up giving a black eye to a passing walker, runner, or biker.

6. Keep the Volume Down Don’t drown out your environment when listening to music with your earbuds or headphones. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear bike bells and warnings from other walkers and runners.

7. Hang Up and Eyes Up Distracted walking due to chatting, texting, or playing games on a mobile device while you walk is as dangerous as doing those things while driving. You are distracted and not as aware of your environment. You are less likely to recognize traffic danger, tripping hazards, or passing joggers and bikers. Adopt habits that can keep your phone in your pocket, or at least make it a practice to stop in a safe place to complete your phone tasks before moving on.

8. Walk Dogs on Short Leashes It is terrifying and tragic to witness dogs running out in to traffic or getting into a fatal dog fight, whether on leash or off leash. But when walking your dog on a long leash there is also a danger that you will trip other walkers or bikers. You will keep your dog safer as well as those who pass by you if you use proper leash walking etiquette.

9. Know When to Stop Walking Heat sickness, dehydration, heart attack, or stroke can strike walkers of any age.

Learn the symptoms of medical emergencies and carry a cell phone to dial 911.

Even if you are a seasoned and well-trained walker, you may experience one of these problems and need to cut your walk short. Encourage your walking friends to stop when they show any concerning symptoms.

10. Be Aware of Stranger Danger Street safety is a concern for many walkers. Choose your walking route for paths frequented by other walkers, joggers, and bikers. If you see someone suspicious, be prepared to alter your course or go into a store or public building to avoid them.

Acting alert and aware can convince bad guys you are not an easy target.

Hideout Committee Volunteers

C

ommittees are an important part of our association operations. Committee members help keep our community vibrant; and, by augmenting paid staff, they save the association thousands of dollars each year.

The association just wouldn’t be what it is without our active and effective committees. They deserve our sincerest thanks. However, to be successful, our association needs to cultivate fresh ideas and encourage additional resident involvement in our committees; so, we’d like your help on one of our committees.

Committees give the Board a way to gather information, offer new ideas and opinions and provide a training ground for future Board members. All committees are advisory to the Board unless given specific decision-making authority by the Board or our Governing Documents. Each committee has a goal and mission statement to help it succeed as a community resource.

Our association has three types of committees: • Board appointed committees, like our ECC, Discplinary, Budget and Nominating, are established by the Board for a specific purpose under the supervision of the Board. These are required by our Protective Covenants or By-Laws. They often have clearly defined power and authority.

Appointments are made for a three year term; however, there are no term limits as to how many terms someone may serve.

• Standing committees, such as Food and Beverage and Recreation, are ongoing and have members who have expertise with a specific area within our community.

These committees generally make recommendations to the Board pertaining to the specific area.

• Ad-hoc committees, such as Governing Documents, are established by the Board as needed for specific projects and tasks. When the task is complete, the committee is disbanded.

So, if you’re thinking about running for the Board and want to learn a little more about the association’s operations or if you’re interested in helping improve your community, we would be thrilled to talk to you about committees and how you might be able to help. Applications are available at the POA or on our website, www. hideoutassoc.com. Feel free to contact any member of the Board or Community Manager, at (570) 698-4100, ext. 109, for more information.

Generator Permit A

Hideout Building Permit is required for the installation/operation of any “nonportable” residential whole house/standby electrical generator. Small portable units are excluded. A separate permit is required if you need to install a propane tank to fuel the generator.

ALL applications for permits are located on The Hideout website or you can get any permit application at the POA Office.

IMPORTANT PORTABLE GENERATOR SAFETY TIPS: - Never operate a generator indoors - it can cause unintentional carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas which, if inhaled, can be fatal.

- Do not install a generator right next to your home - carbon monoxide can collect in the eaves of your home.

- Don’t refill the generator’s gas tank while the unit is running as this can cause a fire, leading to serious injury or death.

- Be sure to remove all gas from the tank when storing your generator.

HOW TO CHOOSE A GENERATOR - Identify the items you will need to run in the event of a power outage. Choose the generator that meets or exceeds the total wattage requirement.

- Assistance from a qualified electrician is also advisable.

Check the power demands of your appliances to determine whether they can run simultaneously or intermittently.

Always consult the data plate on the appliance for accurate electrical information.

Quick and easy Greek-inspired sandwiches

S

ummer vacations from school will have children clamoring for tasty lunches to help them refuel for another round of backyard swimming or frolicking with neighborhood friends. The same foods served time and again can get boring pretty quickly. Offering up new options doesn’t have to be complicated, and parents may discover an array of foods and flavors that their kids will enjoy and ask for in the future.

Such can be the case with Greekinspired gyros. The fillings can vary depending on the ingredients available in the house. For “Turkey Meatball Gyros” from the “Taste of Home: Healthy Cooking Cookbook” (RDA Enthusiast Brands) by the editors of Taste of Home, the meatballs can be made the night before or in big batches and frozen to be used as needed. The yogurt sauce in this recipe is reminiscent of

This is a good time to review definitions of property lines, setback, and easements as applied in the Hideout. When you hear that someone has a setback, you usually expect something not so good. It’s a completely different case when the term is applied to property boundaries. Setback Lines actually protect your property!

Building set-back lines are usually intended to govern permanent structures like your house or garage.

What is a Setback? A setback is a defined space in which no structures (as defined by Land Use Code) may be located, except where specifically allowed by the Code. Setbacks are required along front, rear, side property lines and additionally with some “easements.”

How are Setbacks measured? In most cases, setbacks are measured from the property line. However, when measuring a front setback line abutting a public street the setback is measured from the center line of the right of way. Your property line is coincident with the edge of the right of way. Since the right of way can contain unimproved shoulders, you should not assume that your property line is at the edge of the curb or paved edge of the road. Typically, your property line is several feet from the road improvements.

Unlike rights of way, utility access easements do not always coincide with

traditional Greek tzatziki, which is fresh and flavorful..

Turkey Meatball Gyros Makes 4 servings 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs 1 egg 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 pound lean ground turkey 3/4 cup (6 ounces) reduced-fat plain yogurt 1/2 cup finely chopped peeled cucumber 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion 11/2 teaspoons lemon juice 8 whole wheat pita pocket halves 2 cups shredded lettuce 1 cup chopped tomatoes In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, egg and seasonings.

Crumble turkey over mixture and mix well. Shape into 16 balls.

Place meatballs on a rack coated with cooking spray in a shallow baking pan. Bake uncovered at 400 F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until no longer pink.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt, cucumber, onions, and lemon juice. Line pitas with lettuce and tomatoes; add the meatballs and drizzle with the yogurt sauce.

Tropical tasting dessert an entertaining hit

P

ineapple upside down cake is a familiar dessert classic on which people can put their own unique spins. With this recipe from “Vegan Cooking for Beginners” (Publications International) by PIL editors, vegan dessert guests can also enjoy the fare thanks to vegan-friendly ingredients.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake Makes 10 servings Topping 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup vegan buttery spread 7 canned or fresh pineapple slices 7 maraschino cherries Cake 3 tablespoons boiling water 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup refrigerated coconut milk beverage 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

PROPERTY LINE INFORMATION

property lines. The easement may be located partly or entirely on your property.

When a front yard setback is required from an easement located on a property, the setback is measured from the interior edge of the easement.

Are Setbacks required from anything else? In most cases, buildings may not be built over utility easements (e.g., power, water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and telecommunications) without written approval from the associated utility. We all have easements on our Hideout property lots. These easements are shown on your recorded plat Land Survey and title report.

How large a Setback is required? That depends on where the property is located and whether the setback is along a front, rear, or side property line. For example, in the Hideout, the following Setbacks are required: Front - 25’; Rear - 25’; Sides - 10’. Also, within these setbacks there are “easement lines” (Front - 10 feet, Rear - 10 feet, and each Side - 5 feet).

Please note that the 25 foot front area starts at your property line, not at the edge of the road. The property line to the road is POA property. Also, in Pennsylvania, only a state licensed surveyor may set the property corners.

What is an Easement? An easement is defined as a right that one party has to use real estate that is owned by someone

else. The rights of the easement holder regarding usage of the property are specific and typically limited. Property ownership or possession is not impacted by an easement. The property owner gives up only defined rights on that portion of the property that is used for purposes of the easement. Common easements are those that are given to public utilities such gas or telephone companies to run lines under/over private property.

Utility easements such as power, phone, water and sewer are examples of easements that benefit the Hideout. Such is the case with RS&W. As a general rule, the grantor of the easement can make any use of that property as long as it does not unduly interfere with the rights granted to the easement holder. Typically, the owner granting the easement cannot build/ place structures or obstructions within an easement area or otherwise hinder access to that area.

A utility easement grants the utility company the right to use and access a specific area of a property. The area covered by the easement is usually clearly defined in the text of the easement, and the easement is attached to the property deed so that it will persist even when the property is transferred or sold. Utilities can request an easement for any number of reasons. A classic example of a utility

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease 9-inch round baking pan.

For topping, cook and stir brown sugar and buttery spread in medium skillet over medium heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

Pour into prepared pan. Arrange pineapple slices in pan, placing cherries in centers of pineapples.

Combine boiling water and flaxseed in small bowl. Let stand until cool. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Whisk granulated sugar, oil and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Whisk in flaxseed mixture. Stir in flour mixture just until moistened.

Stir in coconut milk just until blended. Place baking soda in small cup; stir in vinegar. Gently stir vinegar into batter just until blended.

Pour batter over pineapple.

Bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Run thin knife around edge of pan to loosen cake. Invert onto serving plate. Cool completely.

Note: The cake can also be baked in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. Melt the buttery spread and brown sugar in the skillet, add the pineapple and cherries and pour the batter over the fruit. Check the cake for doneness at 40 minutes.

easement is an easement which allows the power company to run electrical lines along a property, and to install utility poles if the property is long enough that the lines cannot pass over the property without support. The utility has the right to utilize a strip of land for the lines, and to enter the land to access the lines for maintenance and repair, which can include tree trimming, replacing rotted utility poles, and relocation of any conduits, cables, wires, towers, and poles.

What about these Property Easements?

Every Hideout property has “easements” – legal rights that others have to use parts of a land owner’s property.

Despite their prevalence, easements are often misunderstood and in some instances, people are not even aware that easements exist. As a property owner you can benefit from a basic understanding of easements. That understanding helps you avoid problems (permanent placement of landscaping, trees & shrubs, rock gardens, landscape lighting, fences, etc.) that can arise within the easement area.

By keeping these areas free of plantings or other obstructions, you can enjoy what you have planted without worrying that it may be in jeopardy in the future.

The Hideout Adult Social Group held its’ annual Inauguration Ball to celebrate the installation of its’ officers for the upcoming year. It was a festive affair as usual. That is, good friends, good food, and good entertainment.

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.

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 John Hinton (732) 841-6731, ljhmet@gmail.com.

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 Environmental 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 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 Liquified 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 within 90 days of its installation.

There is a process, which could take up to two (2) weeks.

The ECC has to review the permit

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 ECC 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.

Failing to pickup an approved permit within 20 days of its issuance will result in a $25 non-refundable administrative fee. Failing to return a signed & dated permit within 20 days of a projects completion will result in a $25 non-refundable fine.

________________________

MEMBERS AND CONTRACTORS Among the items that the Environmental Control Committee will look for when going over your permit 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.

GOOD NEIGHBORS CLUB BUCKLE UP It’s the law!

SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES!

ATTENTION VETERANS If you have a chronic illness or injury which occurred while you were in Military Service, you may be entitled to compensation. However, you must first file a claim with the Veteran’s Administration.

For additional information, please contact Disabled Veteran Bob Addieg (570) 698-8337. No fee involved.

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.

The HASG believes in neighbors helping neighbors. Although the Good Neighbor Club is a function of the Hideout Adult Social Group we are pleased to offer these services to ALL Hideout residents.
