President’s Message

id you know that in 2020 the Hideout will celebrate its 50th Anniversary? A truly, outstanding feat and I wonder if any of the original “settlers” are still with us.

To celebrate this momentous occasion I have appointed a 50th Anniversary Celebration Committee to be chaired by Communications Manager, Lisa Green.

POA members John Hinton, Lucille Koehler, Merridy Gersten, Rita Kinsella and BOD Chairperson Michael Terranova have volunteered their time and talent to be members of this Committee. Additional volunteers are welcome.

The celebration and festivities will occur sometime in 2020 possibly the July 4th weekend or some other warm climate time.

One suggestion is to bury a time capsule in Virginia Sabia’s Park, oops I mean Roamingwood Park. The 40th Anniversary party had a lot of great components, including a vintage car procession. Nothing is locked down so be prepared for a gala party.

When Brooke Craven was promoted to HR Manager, it created a vacancy in the Executive Assistant Position. I am pleased to announce that Jill Metschulat was recently hired to fill the vacancy. Jill was raised in Jefferson Township and grew up working all aspects of her family’s business, Ritter’s Cider Mill. She is a graduate of Marywood University with an Associate in Arts, Paralegal Degree. Jill has great computer skills, has worked with various law firms with specialties in management production, the food and beverage industry, as well as a few municipalities. Welcome to the team Jill.

In my column that appeared in the January Hideabout, I indicated that a Search Committee for the vacant General Manager was created. A few months ago the Board changed the title for that position to Community Manager. The Committee members were:

turned over the coordination of the interview process to Michael Terranova.

He did a terrific job in eliciting responses from all Board members and under his guidance we ranked the 3 remaining candidates. The very next day, the number 2 candidate withdrew because he felt the Community Manager at The Hideout would not be a good fit for him.

The Board met again and eliminated the number 3 candidate because we felt he would not be a good fit for our community.

We also agreed upon a financial package including benefits. Before we offered the position to the final candidate the Board agreed that we needed a full background check on the candidate including financials.

Under current case law we cannot do a full background check on an individual unless they sign a waiver for us to do so. The candidate complied with the waiver but did not give us his financial background. Think of the enormity of that situation where we are entrusting our budget of over nine million dollars to a total stranger with no knowledge of his financial background.

That individual sent Brooke Craven an email withdrawing his candidacy. The Board will be meeting in Executive Session on May 18 as well as May 24 to determine our next course of action.

When the Committee was created it was not our intent to have a quick interview process. We wanted all candidates to be properly vetted to prevent a constant turnover of Community Managers. We need to hire a Community Manager that will give us 5-7 years or more in that position In my April column I discussed storm water problems, and what we might be able to do to address that issue. At the May 10 Workshop the Board reviewed a proposal Rich Straczynski, Michael Terranova – from Woodland Design to create a storm Board Members water remediation plan, and the cost for Donna Kiely, Ryan Hill – Staff Members such a study. Another entity is submitting their plan and cost analysis.

Asst. Community Manager’s Message

ecently I walked out of my home and was met by the sweet aroma of a flowering lilac bush, my late mom’s favorite flowering plant. Accompanying my early morning walk was a beautiful sunshine. I realized that spring had finally arrived. The next three days we were met with torrential rain thereby destroying my vision of spring arriving. Disillusion quickly set in and my thoughts were with our many fine employees who had to work in such difficult weather not to mention the employees charged with the operation of our amenities affected by Mother Nature.

As most of you know many of our amenities’ successes are determined by the weather. However, these fine employees have mastered these difficult times whether it is record snowfalls or torrential rain falls. The Golf Course survived and is on the road to recovery and we can hope we continue to get drying conditions. Compliments to Mike Kline and Al Lutzi and their staffs for monitoring the conditions of the course and keeping the membership apprised of the course closings during questionable conditions.

The second set of marina docks have been installed and are now ready for use. Robert Brinsfield, Facilities Manager advised that the final and third set of docks will be replaced in the next budget cycle. These docks are meant to stay in the lake during the winter, even when the lake freezes, thereby saving much manpower in the removing and installing process. This past winter, because of repairs to the Roamingwood dam, the lake was lowered to such a level that some of the docks sustained minor damage but the damage was quickly repaired. This is another example of the POA making efforts to improve our community.

We would like to remind the membership about the rules concerning our recycling and trash area. We are

noticing that some members are abusing the recycling and trash disposal process.

We also have become aware that contractors are also misusing the disposal area. We encourage all users of the facility to review the posted signs detailing what can and cannot be disposed in our recycling area. A special note that many users are not aware of is caps on bottles should be removed and not disposed in the recycling bins but the trash dumpsters. Please note, that the initial fine for illegal dumping is $250.00.

We encourage you spend your vacation with us, enjoying our wonderful lakes, beaches, pools, and outdoor sporting venues. Our Golf Course is waiting for you and has been rated as one of the best courses in the area. Our new Mini Golf Course will be installed shortly and ready for your enjoyment. We encourage you to enjoy refreshing beverages at our Pub and Tiki Bar. Enjoy some delicious dining at the Clubhouse. Enjoy our new and improved Snack Bar with new food items and a new cotton candy machine located at the Main Beach. Enjoy a nature walk in our Walking Trail on South Fairway Drive next to the Golf Course.

Lastly, we encourage you to read The Hideabout Newspaper and The Hideabout Extra both excellent sources publicizing all our amenities and upcoming events. We recommend you sign up for the Hideout website, another excellent source of information.

On behalf of the dedicated POA employees we hope you have a safe and relaxing summer. If there is anything we can do to make your stay with us more enjoyable please let us know.

FROM MICHAEL TERRANOVA

FROM RYAN HILL, M.S.ED, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGER

e can finally welcome spring to The Hideout.

I am the Board Liaison for the Wildlife & Forestry Committee. We have begun discussions on the need to educate the community on the proper identification and removal/replacement of invasive plants with native species of flora. Over the years, invasive species of plants, such as Multiflora Rose and Japanese Barberry to name just a few, have taken root, outcompeted native plantings, and have spread themselves throughout The Hideout’s footprint. The membership should expect to see our Environmental Manager, Ryan J. Hill, M.S. Ed., host several educational events throughout the summer in conjunction with Penn State Master Gardeners, such as Hideout resident Cathy Long. These will cover what homeowners can do to address invasive plants on their property and viable re-planting options that they should explore. Stay tuned for more information and details on the upcoming events.

I have been in contact with Public Safety

reetings folks, Things are starting to look pretty green here throughout the community, and with all these spring rain showers and warmer temperatures, our vegetation is thriving. Members are reminded to properly maintain your lawns, otherwise, you may receive an ECC citation. So, be sure to dust off the mower and weedwhacker, and if you live by a lake, try your best to keep your grass clippings from going into the water! When mowing or trimming, keep an eye out for rabbit burrows and other critters that like to hide their young in tall grassy areas.

As can be seen, our lakes are full and ready for the recreational season. They will be undergoing routine treatment and monitoring events throughout the season to address any algae or water-based plant issues that happen to pop up. From a fisheries standpoint, please be advised that not all submergent vegetation should be removed from our lakes.

Within the past month, we had TreeSavers on site to release a predator beetle, Sasajiscymnus tsugae, to help naturally combat Hemlock Woolly Adelgid populations at Roamingwood Park. They also conducted systemic nutrient injection for our Hemlock stand to help provide the trees with more vigor throughout the summer months.

Dr. Ticehurst from the National Gypsy Moth Monitoring Group was on site and released a controlled fungus, Entomophaga maimaiga, at two preselected locations. This naturally occurring, but cultured fungus, will help significantly reduce the number of Gypsy Moth larvae as it will attack the larvae from the inside out, releasing white structures called conidophores that then get shot into the air and infect other Gypsy Moth Caterpillars in the local area. As can be imagined, the process spreads from one area to another, providing years of benefits to the community. This application has been

Director, Joseph Kozuch, patrol officers, and gate staff. You will see more and more officers using their radar units and enforcing our traffic laws. Please slow down and be conscious of pedestrians and bicyclists. Pedestrians and bicyclists please be aware of drivers. I have also asked that patrol officers take notice of handicapped parking spaces. If you do not have the appropriate license plates or placard, please do not park in any handicapped parking spaces. Especially at the mail boxes.

The Hideout is still looking for seasonal staff, so please check on line at The Hideout website, www.hideoutassoc.com or stop in at the POA office.

Let's all have a great summer and enjoy all that The Hideout has to offer!

There are QR codes at the Main and North gates for both The Hideabout Newspaper and The Hideabout Extra. So, please let your friends and family know that when they stop at the gate to get their pass, if they scan the QR codes with their smart phones they will have easy assess to our monthly and bi-monthly publications.

carefully studied, peer reviewed, and has been found to be overwhelmingly successful in covering most, if not all, of areas inhabited by this particular insect.

Gypsy Moths are defoliators, and if left unchecked, could cause potentially irreversible damage to a forest.

Treesmiths Utility Arborists will be doing a large amount of trim work throughout the community on trees that are on or near PP&L’s powerlines. Residents should expect to see solid pink ribbons tied to trees that will be worked on. Their point of contact is John Rhodes, (570) 229-0559, and residents are recommended to contact him if you have tree’s flagged with pink ribbon on your property. Ash trees are a particular focal point for full removal due to the impact the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle is having on them, and any tree’s that are cut down will be made into firewood length size and stacked along the roadside for pickup. Members are encouraged to take and use these logs!

C Alley Cats is keeping the momentum moving forward with the TNR Pilot Program. Authorization was granted to trap additional cats, and to date 62 have been TNR’d, resulting in an estimated reduction of 1,044 new cats from utilizing the property by the end of the Fall 2019 breeding season.

As always, be sure to follow our Instagram account, “HideoutEnvironmental” and stay tuned for posts as things start to bloom and blossom throughout the community.

In regards to permitting, all members and contractors are expected to know the ECC Rules and Regulations, which can be accessed online: www.hideoutassoc.com.

FROM JOE KOZUCH, PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR

s we get closer to the busy summer season I would like to remind our members about safe walking within the community. When walking throughout The Hideout be sure to always be alert and walk facing oncoming vehicle traffic. It is safer to walk on the same side of the road as oncoming traffic, while cyclists are advised to go with the flow of traffic. If traffic approaches you from behind while you are walking, you have only your ears to rely on to know it is coming.

If it is coming from in front of you, you have both your eyes and your ears to help you know to move off to the side or even jump into the ditch if you had to. If you are walking in the early morning or late afternoon, it is even more concerning, because drivers have the low-lying sun in their eyes as they approach you. You need to be vigilant. Avoid the dangers of distracted walking and keep your eyes ahead and looking for vehicles. You should always ensure you can hear ambient noise and you

aren't screening it all out with noise-canceling earphones or earbuds. If you are in a group, be sure that everyone walks on the same side of the road. That way drivers can avoid the entire group in one maneuver. Avoid walking down the middle of the road or the middle of the travel lane.

Finally, walking around while paying attention to your cell phone screen instead of the real world is dangerous.

Texting, and other use of a smartphone, while walking has been identified as a hazard for pedestrian deaths, which have increased by 25 percent from 2010 to 2015 and are continuing to rise. Let’s all do our best to be safety conscious while we’re out walking in our beautiful community this upcoming summer season.

s if 2018 wasn’t a wet enough season; 2019 isn’t proving to be any better. Record rainfalls have plagued Pennsylvania, of late, to present new water issues. A saturated ground creates springs in different areas. This inundation can also cause an issue for stormwater runoff as the water has limited options to disperse.

The reoccurring rain may create puddles in low lying areas and collect in containers around a home. Make sure to patrol the outside of your home on a weekly basis and dump any standing pools of water to deter mosquito reproduction. Hardware stores also sell environmentally friendly dunks that may be used for larger bodies where drainage is an issue.

When going outdoors, plan appropriately. Cover your skin to protect it from the sun. Be sure to wear bug repellant, especially on warm and humid days. Finally, dress appropriately. Don’t wear sandals and shorts for a hike in tall grass. Wear the right attire for the task.

Summer Driving Safety Tips: • Wear your seatbelt • More children will be on the roads. Please watch for them.

• Construction zones. Make sure to slow down for workers and equipment.

• Do not leave children or pets in your car.

• Pay attention. The text or email can wait.

• Get a good night’s sleep before long drives.

• If you’re tired, please stop driving.

Too many accidents occur due to driver fatigue.

• Keep a watchful eye for motorcycles.

With that in mind, The Hideout offers a diversified recreational agenda. Pools beaches, picnics, outdoor sports, and so much more!!

All members and guests 7 years of age and older must possess and display a current amenity badge at all times when using any of the amenities. Also, all vehicles within the community must display either a hanging pass or have a valid 2019 sticker on their front windshield.

Seasonal pool stickers, for your guest badges, may be purchased at the Main pool or the POA office for $65 for all six of your badges; or individually for $18 each.

If your guest badge does not have a pool sticker, the guest may pay $5 per day.

Members, with a current amenity badge (photo ID), the pool is no charge.

The month of June holds two significant dates. Flag Day, on June 14 is an

important day for our nation to remember. Now is the time to replace your old, shredded, faded flag with a brand new flag to “fly high” for our country. Your old worn flags may be deposited at the Main Mailbox facility (located across from the Main Gate) in the “painted” mailbox to the inside right of the building.

The other date to remember is Father’s Day on June 16. On this day, we celebrate our dads and thank them for all they do for us.

Need a special gift? Why not consider a Hideout Cash Card? These cards may be purchased at the POA for any denomination. They are great to have and are refillable. Instead of carrying your wallet, try a Cash Card.

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

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

Wood Ducks, Aix sponsa

This past spring, the Environmental Office partnered up with Bob Addieg from The Hideout’s Woodworkers to get six Wood Duck nesting boxes constructed out of cedar. The Wood Duck, whose latin name translates roughly to “waterfowl in a wedding dress” is one of the more colorful and ornately decorated Avians that can be commonly found throughout the local area. Out of our six nesting boxes, two were observed in early May to have nesting hens and eggs inside!

Here are some quick facts about these beautiful birds that most people don’t know: *An adult Wood Duck typically only weighs around 1.5 pounds *Drakes, the males, have red eyes and are brightly colored, whereas Wood Duck hens are dull brown in color. *They don’t quack! Rather, Wood Ducks squeal and whistle. *They not only fly well in open areas like other ducks, but they prefer

flooded timber and tightly wooded areas, easily navigating around stands of trees. *Their diet includes a variety of items, but they particularly favor acorns and nuts, shallowing them whole where they then get crushed inside the ducks gizzard, rendering them down into smaller/more digestible bits. *They pair up with their mates in January, with March and April being their typical breeding months, extending into May in some areas. *The hens will only nest in cavities such as hollowed out trees or manmade nesting boxes, laying between 8-15 eggs. Natural cavities are hard to find now a days, that’s why its important that we lend a hand and give them suitable means to breed and nest. *It takes about a month for the eggs to hatch, but the ducklings typically all hatch at once. *Within a day of hatching, the ducklings will exit the nesting area, jumping down to meet their awaiting mother below. *Wood duck hunting was actually banned in 1913 in an effort to help the population recover from overlogging that had occurred in the early 1900’s,

which had caused a huge decline in nesting sites and ducklings. *Current Wood Duck populations are estimated to be in the millions, showing that conservation efforts have proved fruitful.

The six nesting boxes are currently located at Deerfield Lake, Tract 29 (near Brooks Lake), Hidden Lake, Windemere Pond, Ariel Creek, and behind the maintenance building.

Darlow offers his readers a very unique experience as each of the poems or sonnets includes a brief description of his personal inspirations so that his audiences are literally experiencing his creative process in that moment. This original approach makes Darlow’s book to be a truly personal and insightful work which is what he wanted for his first foray into writing a book of poetry.

In case you are curious, WOLRAD (Mark’s nom de plume) is Darlow spelled backwards.

WOLRAD, at 78 years young has been writing poems as far back as he can remember. He uses the pen name Wolrad because his father Nathaniel Darlow, who also wrote poems, penned with the name Tan Wolrad. Darlow carried on the tradition writing to family, friends and acquaintances that have sparked his imagination all through his life.

“It’s nothing for me to pick up a napkin and write a few lines of rhyme to a waiter or bartender or even a neighboring diner at a restaurant, passenger on a plane or wherever it strikes me. Almost always, people seem to really enjoy the gesture.”

Darlow says after so many years and so many poems, it was time to put some of the thousands of verses into print. And even a few of the poems appearing in his new book were originally written for The Hideabout. Darlow says he will continue writing poems for The Hideabout until he is no longer able to find those words that rhyme.

For anyone interested in purchasing MY RHYMES FOR REASONS, just go to Amazon.com and search “WOLRAD”. Also, if you would like a copy of his children’s book and song I Wonder What It’s Like To Be, please go to his website: www.iwonderdoyou.com.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

POOR POSTURE & HEADACHES By: Bernard J. Povanda, PT, COMT, Direct Access Certified

I

n observation of June being National Headache Awareness Month, it’s important for people to realize the direct impact poor posture can have on our heads!

Headache pain is the 3rd most common pain complaint worldwide. One common reason for headaches, especially tension headaches, is muscle tension and tightness.

This tightness occurs all over the head and neck. The tightening of the muscles is due to poor posture; your muscles are trying to adapt to the constraints that are being put on them. The way you sit at work, the way you hold your phone, the way you type on your computer, all of these things and many more of your daily tasks - if not done correctly, contribute to headaches. In the technology driven society we live in today, the majority of people are either looking down at phones, tablets, or computers. Often times, our bodies are slouched and our neck is bent.

The majority of non-traumatic neck pain has a strong postural component. Slouching in front of a TV is another culprit.

Poor posture alignment can create muscular fatigue, joint compression, or musculoskeletal imbalances. This can also prematurely age your spine. As a physical therapist, we often use posture assessments in our patient’s initial evaluations. This gives us a good idea of how our patients’ posture may be affecting them. These headaches can be merely a distraction or can severely interfere with daily function and greatly limit activity. A few minutes a day of posture exercise is all you need to improve your posture. When the body’s muscles are balanced, less energy is spent fighting gravity. As less strain is put on the skeletal system, the negative effects of bad posture can be reduced or avoided. A visit to your physical therapist could be all you need to address your headaches from the effects of poor posture!

Any changes, questions or comments: No changes indicated.

Motion to accept: Andy Vuolo Second by: Bob Addieg All in favor

Call to Order: 10:00 AM – Peter Boyer, Chairman Pledge of Allegiance Present: Peter Boyer – Chairman, Walt Buda, Robert Brinsfield – Facilities Manager, Marie Krauss – Board Liaison, Guests: John Thompson, Lot 144, Larry Frotten, Assistant Community Manager Excused: Sam Wilmot, Sharon Spiese, Bob Addieg There was not a quorum at this meeting.

Public Works Committee Meeting Minutes - 5/8/19

DISCUSSION OLD BUSINESS: Trash/Recycling Changes CMR: The CMR was presented to the committee for review and comments.

• Robert informed the committee that the vote on the CMR did not get a quorum and that it will be put in the 2020 budget recommendations. He would like the committee to vote on the CMR so he can include it with his budget materials.

• There was also discussion on how contractors use our bulk area and identification of contractor vehicles. Rob mentioned that the ECC is updating their contractor manual and that the issue of signage on contractor vehicles should be rest with them.

• Scott Patterson suggested a “Pilot Program” to address bulk issues. His idea is to do away with bulk garbage days and instead issue each property 2 free bulk passes each year. These passes could be used at the member’s convenience throughout the year but they must make an appointment and can not show up in a contractor vehicle. His rationale for this is that it would save on overtime and add to the safety of the department. The committee thought this was a good idea and agreed that it should be added to the CMR. • There was also discussion on prohibiting contractors from using our bulk area for dumping at all. It was agreed that one of the reasons for the CMR is to give the contractors a chance to properly comply with our rules and if it doesn’t work, then we can go hardline and prohibit dumping.

• The wording of the CMR was discussed.

The committee wanted to make sure the language was very clear. The CMR will be amended with the new wording changes and will be forwarded to the Chairperson for review and final approval.

The committee agreed to vote on the CMR with the amended wording. The vote was 6 in favor. 1 abstention due to absence of member.

Robert informed the committee that Environmental Manager, Ryan Hill conducted an educational Recycling Forum on April 20th and that more will be planned.

NEW BUSINESS: Banners: The committee would like to thank the Maintenance Department for

getting the banners for the Woodworkers Craft show up.

Handrails at POA: The committee was informed that there are cracks in the stainless-steel handrails at the POA. This could pose a hazard to people running their hand along the handrail.

Water at N. Gate & Front Gate: The committee was informed that there is water that pools at the North Gate and the exit lane at the Front Gate. This is a breeding ground for mosquitos and needs to be addressed. This has been a longstanding issue.

Avoy Road: The committee was informed that Avoy Road is disgusting and needs to be cleaned up. Although there is a sign on the road indicating that the road is part of the SCI Waymart – Adopt a Highway Program, it has received no attention from the program.

Dogwood Trees by Clubhouse: The committee was informed that the Dogwood trees by the Clubhouse appear to be struggling. Only two of them have flowers.

Tree Down: The committee was informed that there has been a tree down on Hidden Lake for approximately 2 weeks. It was moved so that traffic could pass, however the tree has not been taken away. Scott P will take a look and address this issue.

North Gate Mailbox Parking Lot: Robert informed the committee that he is working on getting pricing on paving this area. It is not in this year’s budget however Mayo Striping will be in to get the white lines done.

100 yr. Storm: Robert informed the committee that the recent storm has opened eyes to the stormwater issues throughout the Community. The Maintenance Department in conjunction with Maiocco Excavating and R.R. Wilmot worked diligently to get swales and culverts opened to save Hideout roads in the event another storm arose. He further informed the committee that when the community was built in the 70’s, there were no requirements for stormwater.

Robert and the Board are working on a stormwater plan. Michael T. informed the committee that RS&W had offered to take over stormwater however due to the details of the offer The Hideout refused.

North Gate Building: Robert informed the committee that this building is in plans for the Long Range Planning Committee.

PPL Tree Trimming: Robert informed the committee that PPL has been identifying trees to be trimmed/removed in the areas around North Gate Rood and Northwood Terrace. Tree Smiths have been given the contract for the trimming.

Robert gave big kudos to Scott and his team for the excellent job they did with their storm management efforts. The committee concurred and Board Member, Michael T. reiterated these sentiments as well as thanking the committee for their hard work and ideas.

Motion to adjourn: 10:15 am Motion by: Bob Addieg Second by: Andy Vuolo Next meeting: 9:00 AM, June 12, 2019

Long Range Planning Committee Meeting Minutes - 5/11/19

DISCUSSION Lodge-Tiki Bar: At the April Public Works meeting Robert informed the committee that he is looking into the option of having a ramp installed that would go to the Banquet Room and Tiki Bar rather than an elevator. He informed the committee that this had been discussed a bit at the Board Workshop on 5/10/2019. He is moving forward to get pricing for the ramp and that the cost for getting plans need to be put into the 2020 budget process. Marie explained that the process for these types of projects is about 2 years. The first year to get the cost of the plans into the budget and the next year the cost of the project into the budget.

Aspen Point Bus Stop & Parking: • Robert advised the committee that Kiely & Associates have reviewed this area and that we can use existing fill to grade the area. He further explained that there is a lot of opportunity in this area and that it needs minimal stormwater engineering.

• Robert went on to explain that because the area is over one (1) acre, we must get an EPA Permit. Once we have the permit approved, we have 5 years to complete the project as planned.

Should changes be made during this period, a new permit will be needed. Robert stressed the need to get a concrete plan in place and not make any changes once the plan is approved.

• The committee had a discussion on the process of having projects completed. Robert explained that we can have a multi-year plan but once the plan is set, we must stick to it.

Main Gate Update: Robert informed the committee that PENNDOT has penciled us in for a scoping meeting. He further explained that PENNDOT may request a Turn Lane/ Crash/Signal Analysis prior to approving the permit. Details of this analysis will be laid out at the scoping meeting. The plans submitted to PENNDOT were the top of the line plans (can be scaled back if necessary), and for the most part have been finalized, however should PENNDOT require changes to 590, we may have to alter the plans. There are no time restrictions (as with the Aspen Point project), however we could run into difficulty with the state because we only have a construction permit for the Main Gate and no permits for the North Gate (both sides) or the

Campgrounds. We are trying to be proactive in getting permits and we are working with PENNDOT. Princeton Hydro: The Princeton Hydro work is done and due to the storm of 4/15, the lake was filled in 2 days.

Long Range Planning: Robert commented that we sometimes look at individual projects, (i.e. F&B, Tiki Bar) to get done in Long Range, however we should be looking at the whole community. He went on to explain that we should be looking at things like Stormwater.

This issue effects approximately 50% - 60% of the community. He further explained that he is exploring costs with various companies to come up with a plan. The committee was highly in favor of this.

Marie informed the committee that RS&W had offered to take over the stormwater for the community, however the terms of the offer could be unfavorable to the community as The Hideout would lose control of things like rates charged etc.

The question arose of what it would cost to become a municipality so we could get grants.

It was explained that Federal or State Grants could increase project costs due to requirement to pay the prevailing wage and due to increased Federal & State Regulations that would need to be followed. It was also explained that we would have to remove the gates and open up our amenities to anyone who wanted to use them.

Marie gave Walt B an update of things that have happened since he last attended a meeting: 1. It has been decided that the Maintenance Complex is staying where it is at.

2. The trash facility will stay where it is and no new facility will be built at this time.

3. Miller Road is being put in green space for the time being.

4. There was talk of getting a professional Recreational Planner to offer ideas for the community however this has been put on hold to give new Recreation Manager, John Boandl and his staff a chance to see what they come up with.

Larry F. informed the committee that there have been discussions on what else can be done at the Winter Sports Area. He informed the committee that Robert has gotten pricing on putting concrete flooring on the Ice-Skating Rink area and the pole barn next to it. He also told the committee that they have been looking at a synthetic ice product that would allow skating year-round. The product would be easy to maintain and would not require special skates.

The tow-rope at the Bunny Hill will be replaced with a Magic Carpet system and they are looking at the possibility of putting this type of system at the Tube Run as well. An additional recreational possibility is installation of shuffleboard.

The next meeting will be on June 15, 2019 at 10:00 in the POA Board Room.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:00 am.

COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

Lakes Committee Draft Minutes of Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting - 4/27/19 Meeting Draft Minutes - 5/16/19 Chair: Iggy Rivera species. There is currently a lack of diversity.

Members: Steve Flapan, Jim McLoone, Rick Nolte, Judy Restaino, Jeff Silverman Staff: Ryan Hill, Larry Frotten Board: Barry Neiss, Rich Yocum Guests: Thomas Bain, Jerry Moran, John Thompson, Richard Tumidajski Excused: Charlie Durkin, Kent Fairfield, Karen Greenfeld, Tim Jeffers, Arnie Milidantri, Bob Reimer The meeting was called to order at 9:04 followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. The minutes of the previous meeting were approved as written with a motion by J. McLoone, a second by R. Nolte and approval by all (8-0).

Deerfield Phosphorus Reduction Project, Growing Greener Grant: Ryan is working on obtaining the Nutrient Separating Baffle Box (NSBB) from Suntree Technologies and then will revisit the best way to proceed since it is not allowed to be within the direct stream path which could disrupt organisms. A question had arisen at the last meeting of why Harvey’s Lake was able to do it. Princeton Hydro explained that it had been placed in an existing stormwater infrastructure and did not require diversion of a perennial stream. The grant is good until 2021.

Ridgeview Stormwater Retrrofit, Act 13 Grant: It is currently at a standstill until we reassess. The storm event on the evening of April 14th resulted in a substantial amount of rainfall and subsequent washouts in the community.

Quite a bit of sediment washed into the lake. The shoreline stabilization project from several years ago by the North Beach was affected as several boulders were dislodged away from the shoreline. R. Hill, along with Princeton Hydro, is working on a plan to restabilize the shoreline. L. Frotten explained that there was a meeting at RS&W on Friday to discuss the stormwater issue. We will have to work with RS&W to fix the problem, and since they are a municipality, it is easier for them to get an additional grant.

Dam Outlet Structure & Enhancements: DSI was on site on Thursday, April 11th until Friday, April 19th to finish the repair and enhancement work to the outlet structure.

Everything now works, and 4 people were trained to operate it. R. Hill videotaped it so it can be referred to in the future as needed. A “Keep Off/Authorized Personnel Only” sign will be installed, and a more thorough documentation process for all gates/valves and their normal operation will be implemented. DIS and PH are putting together an owner/operator manual as well as a routine maintenance schedule.

Nature Works: The Entrance Pond fountain was installed on April 8th. Nature Works indicated that it appears that it needs to be replaced. R. Hill is awaiting a proposal for some options from Nature Works and will possibly upgrade to a unit that both aerates and provides visual enjoyment.

Benthic Macroinvertebrate Study: R. Hill conducted a sampling of two sites for macroinvertebrates: in Ariel Creek, above and below the RS&W discharge, and found only somewhat Intolerant to pollution

Storm events and subsequent storm water runoff could have contributed to the lack of certain species of macroinvertebrates.

Once a month sampling events will continue throughout the remainder of the year to evaluate improvements or declines in the quality of the water.

Wood Duck Nesting Boxes: R. Hill explained how the boxes were constructed and stated that they appear to be getting utilized, especially the one at Hidden Lake.

Vertex Aeration Unit at Brooks: The old system will be removed next week, and the new system is scheduled for May 7th. Ben Rinker Electric will wire up the new unit, and PH will be on site to supervise.

Stainless Steel Carp Barrier: The contract with PH has been submitted and down payment provided, and it should be installed at the end of May. PA Fish and Boat Commission is aware of our lack of a barrier.

Invasive Plant Initiative: R. Hill met with a community member who is a Penn State Master Gardener, Cathy Long, to discuss common invasive plants currently in our community, particularly Multiflora Rose. Water based invasive species, such as Hydrilla and Curly-leaf Pondweed, will be addressed by Nature Works and PH. Buoys: 5 new buoys were purchased by Recreation and should be getting installed after May 1st.

Fish Stocking 2019: We most likely will go with walleye, black crappie, fat head minnows, and possibly largemouth bass in Roamingwood, largemouth bass and possibly black crappie in Deerfield, and hybrid striped bass, largemouth bass and possibly black crappie in Brooks. There followed a discussion about how the fish studies are done and what species are really needed. T. Bain doesn’t believe that we have any idea how many sterile grass carp there are in Roamingwood and that the fish studies are not done properly. T. Bain is a fisherman who is out on the lake all the time and feels we need minnows, lots of smallmouth bass, a few rockfish, and lots of crappie and perch.

R. Hill said that he will look into it and be with them at the next fish survey.

Rock Hazards/Dredging: Options and recommendations will be presented and reviewed in the upcoming 5 year Lake Management Plan with PH that will outline objectives for the protection, restoration and maintenance of our lakes between 2019-2023. The draft plan from PH should arrive soon.

Comments: Three beavers were trapped and removed from Deerfield.

Geese control continues to identify nesting sites.

T. Bain asked about allowing some 2 stroke motors on boats in the lake; E Tech has one that has less emissions than a 4 stroke.

The next meeting will be on June 1st.

The meeting was adjourned at 10:40 with a motion by Rick, a second by Iggy and approval by all (8-0).

Respectfully submitted, Judy Restaino

Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes May 16, 2019 Meeting called to order at 3:30 Pledge of Allegiance Attendees: Committee members: Catherine Lowman, Wayne Balanovich, Mary Boyer, Susan Fox, Bob Addieg, Andy Vuolo, Manager: John Boandl, Asst. Manager: Joe Carolan, Events Planner: Malorie Siperko, BOD Liaison: Rick Yocum, Guest John Thompson.

The meeting opened with the announcement that Chairperson Carol Grimm is stepping down as chairperson but requested to remain as a committee member. Joe asked for volunteers for Secretary and new Chairperson. Mary will be responsible for the minutes and the Chairperson position will presently remain open.

The Committee voted to have Susan Fox be a full time committee member rather than an alternate. All members were in agreement.

The official opening of Laurel Campground was on May 15th, 2019.

There are remaining issues of a washed out road due to rainfall, a gravel issue on site 11 and a tree requiring trimming by the exit to the campground. There was an update given on an abandoned RV and 2 campers erroneously parked.

Management is aware of the conditions and it’s being addressed.

Joe discussed 3 CMRs and the direction they would take in submitting them. They include the Shuffleboard Court, Bocce Court, and the new pottery wheel for the Art Center. Repair, replace and cost options were discussed. Capital costs were covered and John told the committee about the new plan for incentive bonuses for lifeguards. John advised the committee of the purchase of the new paddle boards, mini golf, and beach opening and staffing.

Aquatics is on track and the Main Pool will be open on June 15th, followed by North Pool a short time later.

Thanks were shared for the new chairs and Doggie toy box at the Dog Park. The interior of the shed has been given a fresh coat of paint, as well.

The Art Center is hosting an open house on June 29th from 2-4 to share some of the creative offerings the center provides.

A variety of crafts, painting, pottery, stained glass, and ceramics classes were discussed as well as reaching out to teachers in our local area and liability insurance requirements. They are hoping to improve participation.

John opened a discussion regarding some improvements on our walking trails which included mulching, paving, a basic clean-up, etc. Discussions continue.

Upcoming Events: Volley Ball and Horseshoe Tournaments, Fishing Derby, The Flower Sale, Woodworkers. and Quilters sales and the Memorial Day Tribute.

The Woodworkers would like to reverse policy on their training for new woodworker classes by having prospective members take a tour, join the club and THEN receive the training. All agreed this was a reasonable request.

The Woodworkers also have plans for providing picnic style tables in the warming area at the Ski Hill.

Bob Addieg requested we look into “upping our game” in the game room with better planning and state of the art games. The goal is to increase revenue and participation. He also advised us to display the available prizes rather than locking them away in a closet.

Budget restraints prevail, but all agreed it deserved serious consideration.

The next Recreation Committee Meeting will be held at the Recreation Center AllPurpose Room on Thursday, June 20th at 3:30 pm.

Respectfully submitted, Mary Boyer

Enjoy more time outdoors with easy tricks I n centuries past, humans spent much of their time in nature, hunting, foraging, and living life without the comforts of extensive shelters. Fast-forward several centuries, and the tables have turned dramatically.

· Lunch outside. Take your lunch hour outdoors rather than in an indoor cafeteria or restaurant. Office workers are urged to go to a park or green space to give their brains a rest from urban stimuli. Lunch is the ideal time to do just that.

The Environmental Protection Agency says the average person spends 93 percent of his life indoors, with 87 percent of the time inside of a building, and the remaining 6 percent in an automobile.

These shocking results indicate that the equivalent of just one half of one day per week is spent outdoors. And people may be paying a price for spending so much time indoors.

· Invest in a screen room at home. A screened-in porch, lanai or other space can bridge the indoors to outside and serve as a restful place to enjoy some fresh air while being protected from insects and inclement weather.

There’s various reasons to believe that being outdoors can be good for a person’s health. The National Institutes of Health and Harvard Medical School say that, in addition to providing physical benefits, simply spending time in nature in any form can improve mental outlook, boost creativity, elevate mood due to natural light, improve concentration, and reduce stress. A study from the St. Louis University School of Medicine also said that spending time outdoors can help a person sleep better. That’s because natural sunlight can set the body’s internal clock.

Despite all of the benefits of getting outside, many people find it challenging to do so thanks to their busy schedules. The following are a few ways to increase time in the outdoors that do not require major commitments. · Bike or walk to work. For those who live close to their offices, walking or cycling to work is a simple way to spend more time outdoors. People who take public transportation can get off the train or bus a few stops early to get some exercise and breathe some fresh air.

· Set strict “no device” times. Schedule a time when devices are disconnected and the entire family enjoys some recreation outdoors. Let kids get back to the basics of bike riding, skating, playing pick-up sports games outside with friends, and all of the activities parents enjoyed as youths. · Dine al fresco. Opt for outdoor seating at a favorite restaurant. This will provide an hour or more to take in the sights and breathe some fresh air while enjoying a meal. · Meet friends at outdoor places. When engaging in recreational activities, plan them at outdoor venues, such as parks, beaches, town centers, boardwalks, and other areas where everyone can have fun and still be outside.

Fresh air, sunshine and time spent in nature are good for the mind and body.

People concerned that they’re spending too much time indoors should seek ways to spend more time outside whenever possible.

The history of Flag Day T he American flag is a symbol of the country’s history, pride and success in overcoming political oppression. Through its many incarnations and variations, the Stars and Stripes has waved over government buildings, schools and private residences.

According to History.com, in 1775, the Second Continental Army led to the creation of the first “American” flag.

However, that flag was too similar to the British Union Jack flag, George Washington requested a revision. In 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution stating that the “flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white.” Furthermore, the “union” was represented by 13 stars of white in a blue field, “representing a new constellation.”

More than a century later, a small-town Wisconsin teacher named Bernard Cigrand came up with the idea for an annual flag day in 1885. Even though the Fourth of July, a holiday in which the flag is prominently and proudly displayed, had long been celebrated as the birthday of the United States, Cigrand wanted a holiday that would focus specifically on the flag in all its glory. June 14 was selected because it marked the anniversary of the official adoption of the first flag. Cigrand led his school in the first formal observance of the holiday, and throughout his life continued to advocate for respect of the flag.

Various other organizations liked the idea of a day to honor the flag, including the

State Board of Education of New York, the Betsy Ross House and the New York Society of the Sons of the Revolution. Yet, it wasn’t until May 30, 1916, that Flag Day was officially established by presidential proclamation by President Woodrow Wilson. Still, it would take another 33 years for President Truman to sign an Act of Congress designating June 14 as the official National Flag Day, which he did on August 3, 1949.

Americans can honor the flag by displaying it on Flag Day. Here’s how to display the flag properly, courtesy of Military.com. · The flag should be free of any obstructions, such as power lines or tree limbs. · If displayed with other flags, Old Glory should be at the top-most point or in the center of a horizontal array of flags. · If the flag is displayed on its side, the blue field should be to the left. · The flag should be raised in the morning at a residence or business and taken down at night. The only exception to the flag being out at night is if it’s illuminated.

· Flags can be repaired. However, if a flag is tattered, it can be removed and brought to a local VFW hall to be properly disposed of.

Flag Day honors the Stars and Stripes, a symbol of the great American nation.

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 Assistant Community Manager, at (570) 698-4100, ext. 109, for more information.

Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association

THANK YOU, MRS. MARGARET JOAN MURPHY For your many dedicated years to SWCWSA, RS&W and the Hideout Community

From, South Wayne County Water & Sewer Authority and Roamingwood Sewer & Water Association, Employees & Board of Directors Mrs. Margaret Murphy, known to us and many, as “Joan”, has been a dedicated and active member in the Hideout Community since 1979! There are too many activities and contributions that she has blessed this Community with, to list ALL of them. So, to just highlight a few that stand out, Joan served for many years on various Hideout Committees, as well as serving a three (3) year term on the POA Board of Directors.

She served on RS&W’s Nominating Committee for the better part of twenty-three (23) years and in 2005, was appointed to a vacated seat on the Roamingwood Sewer & Water Board of Directors and served for one (1) year. In 2006, she accepted an appointment to the South Wayne County Water & Sewer Authority Board, where she has served the past thirteen (13) years. During her tenure, Joan proved to be a vital contributing member of SWCWSA and has been a major part of the initiation and subsequent completion of the Sewer & Water Infrastructure Replacement Project.

Present in the picture with Joan Murphy (Right) is; SWCWSA Board Chairwoman Carolyn Hanel (Left), and RS&W Board President John Schesny (Center)

Joan was presented with a plaque at our last regular RS&W Board meeting held at Roamingwood, for her service and contributions. All of us in the Roamingwood Organization and South Wayne Authority have been so very fortunate to know her and humbled to work with such a dynamic woman and we look forward to her continued input. We wish her the best and offer sincerest gratitude from all of us, for the many years she has dedicated to the betterment of the Hideout Community and Roamingwood Sewer & Water.

STAGE 3 CONSTRUCTION UPDATE The highly anticipated paving, and restoration phase of the project has commenced. As many of you know, our contractor started paving in early May. The paving will continue throughout the project area, concentrating on the side roads, before finishing off on Lakeview Drive West & East. The final overlay has been placed on Elmwood Ct, Tarot Ct, Greenview Ct, Underwood Ln and Parkwood Dr. They will continue work on the west side including Maplewood Ct, Lakewood Dr, Oakwood Ct, Parkwood Dr, Brookfield Rd, Westwood Dr & Ct, Woodridge Dr, Wildwood Ter & Ct, Forest Ct, and Ridgeview Dr. After the paving is complete, the contractor will install a gravel shoulder to back up the new pave. The contractor also has a restoration/complaint crew working on properties in the project area. The persistent wet weather as well as the April 15, 2019 storm event has delayed our progress. After the West side has been completed, the East side paving will commence, starting with the secondary roads.

During the paving phase the contractor will utilize lane restrictions and flaggers to aid with traffic control. Please keep the safety of the workers in the construction zones a priority and please reduce your speed. Thank you for your patience and understanding, please call (570)698-6162 with any questions or concerns.

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.

HASG GOLF- 2019 OFF and RUNNING!!!

W

hat is HASG golf? HASG stands for Hideout Adult Social Group, a great social organization here in the Hideout! The HASG golf league has been in existence for quite a few years and it’s purpose is to have people mingle and socialize while playing golf and afterward. I am so happy to report that as of this writing we have 56 players joining the league (shotgun start, 14 foursomes), all looking forward to having a lot of fun and laughs!

The league is starting on June 6th and will continue through the summer with a tee-off time of 10:00am. This later tee-off gives the course time to dry out and also means that we will be finishing just in time for the pub to open, Hiccupp!! Hopefully, we will all get together for a lite lunch with refreshments and make many new friends. The format of the league is Captain’s best ball and we select different foursomes, randomly every week, so many new acquaintances are made.

Audrey and I are looking forward to seeing you all on the course and in the pub!!

As always, call me if you have any questions, thanks, John Martino, (570) 892-0545.

From The Rough

A golf tip from Larry Lutz, Hideout Golf Teaching Pro

A

ll good chippers hit the ball with a descending blow for solid contact. To make sure the club hits the ball before the ground, you should play the ball in the back half of your stance. The exact position is up to you, but opposite the inside of your back foot might be a good option. Experiment to find out what works best for you. Your hands should lead the club head through impact. At address, set

up with the face square to the target, and angle the shaft forward so your hands are a few inches ahead of the ball. Set your weight on your forward foot and keep it there. Then rock your shoulders back and through, keeping your wrists firm (do not flip your wrists) to maintain the handsahead position.

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

REAL ESTATE

How ‘s Your Deck’s Appeal?

By: Terri Ditty, Broker Associate

I

n the summertime when the living is easy, there’s nothing quite like a deck for cooking out, entertaining or simply relaxing. In addition to boosting outdoor living space, a deck can be a tremendous asset when you sell your home.

To recoup a good portion of our deck investment, your deck needs to be right for our market. Don’t make it too extreme compared to what’s typical, but definitely do not make it less than what is expected.

If your deck was built prior to new code requirements, consider doing the fix now before a home inspector points this out to your buyer. Codes exists not to just preserve property values, but to promote safety. For example, railing baluster spaced too far apart can constitute a falling hazard for small children. Decks that are inadequately attached to the house can collapse, often during a party when the structure is loaded with the extra weight of many people. Yep, like a real Poseidon Adventure. If in doubt, check it out.

Because decks are exposed to the harshest elements, they do require annual maintenance. This should

include a wash using a standard deck cleaner, and if necessary, a resealing may be in order. This may be obvious by just looking at the deck, but try the water test if you are unsure. Splash some water on the deck. If it beads up…you ‘re probably okay….If it soaks in….time for a reseal. . Remember to move planters, chairs and tables occasionally to avoid discoloring the decking. To slow mold and moss, keep nearby bushes and trees cut back a bit from the deck, and don’t let leaves and other debris pile up in the corner.

Although it’s hard to put a dollar value on aesthetics, we can all agree that looks count. Give thought to how your deck complements your home. Your deck will be a popular place, so besides keeping it clean and in good shape, make sure that it is easily accessible and provides accommodations for both seating and décor. When you make your deck an inviting add-on, chances are, you’ll invite much better offers from potential buyers. Ready to improve your deck ‘s appeal????

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.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

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.

Generator Permit

A Hideout Building Permit is required for the installation/operation of any “non-portable” residential whole house/stand-by 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 Permit are located on the Hideout website. Or you can get any permit application at the front POA desk.

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.

Also, 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. Finally, 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.

5,000 WATTS (41.7/20.8 AMPS) Powers Refrigerator 700 watts, AM/FM radio 50 watts, Color TV 450 watts, Eight 100-watt lights 800 watts, Microwave 1,000, Sump pump 1,000 watts, Water pump 1,000 watts 6,800 WATTS (56.7/28.3 AMPS) Powers everything a 5,000 watt generator does, plus: Deep freezer 500 watts, Washing machine 1,100 watts 8,000 WATTS (66.7/33.3 AMPS) Powers everything a 6,800 watt generator does, plus: Attic fan 300 watts, Clothes dryer (gas) 700 watts, Four 100 watt lights 400 watts NOTE - A simple formula to calculate how much combined power you’ll need to run appliances and tools is volts x amps = wattage. 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. Starting watts: Always plug in the appliance with the highest starting wattage first and add appliances in descending wattage order.

Thank you to all who came out to help!

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

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

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.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

My mother left behind her way That I now carry to this day A smile that lingered A laugh that cheered That way that she would share I never had a moment in My entire life That I did not adore my Mom As now I do my Wife There were so many days she cared For me when I was down She had that very special way To lift me from my frown There cannot be another one To fill what she filled well Her way around the kitchen Her knowledge she would tell And I shall not forget when she Would preach to me of faith Back in those days when just a kid Faith took a backseat berth Today the world has set aside This day for us to praise The Mother’s who did set aside Their own lives since our births.
