POA NEWS

THE HIDEABOUT NEWSPAPER

FROM KELLYN NOLAN

MAY 2018 • 3

President’s Message

Over the last few months, the POA continuously communicated the voting of the bylaw amendment. The Governing Documents Committee (GDC) is a Board-sanctioned committee that was formed to maintain and act as custodian of The Hideout’s Governing Documents, that is, its Covenants, Bylaws, and Rules and Regulations. This committee worked tiredly to update our antiquated Bylaws.

It quickly became apparent to the GDC that some of the documents, especially the Bylaws, were replete with redundancies, sections that appeared to conflict with one another, typos, syntax, spelling, and grammatical errors. Just reading through them was a gargantuan task, but the GDC members were determined to endeavor to improve them and proposed a plan to sequentially review all the documents, beginning with the Bylaws. The problem was that no changes, not even correction of spelling or grammar, could be affected without a vote of a majority of the membership, as per Article XIV. After considerable research, attorney consultation, and many meetings, the GDC determined that the only way its work could be accomplished would be, with the consent of the Board, to secure the acquiescence of the membership by balloted referendum mailed with the 2018 dues statements. The referendum and its rationale was overwhelmingly accepted by the voting membership (1158 For, 256 Against). Without this vote of confidence, the GDC would not be able to accomplish its mission.

I would like to thank everyone that participated in this first referendum and the GDC for their hard work. The community will look forward to the progress and future sustainability of our community.

FROM JOE ACLA

General Manager’s Message Over the next two months, we will be hosting two Town Hall meetings to go over changes that will be taking place regarding new 911 emergency numbers within the Hideout. The first meeting will be held on Saturday, May 19 at 10:00 a.m. at the Main Lodge. The second meeting will be held on Saturday, June 23 at 10:00 a.m. at the Main Lodge. All residents will be receiving a letter from the county informing the membership of their new 911 number. Implementation for this is scheduled for July 1, 2018, for the county and January 1, 2019, for The Hideout. We are anticipating many questions and concerns so that is why we are hosting two Town Hall meetings to address them. If you have questions or concerns regarding the new 911 numbering system and are unable to attend the meetings, please feel free to reach out to my office so I may answer your concerns (570) 698-4100, ext. 103.

The upcoming season is upon us, the golf course is open, boats are in the lake, and pools are getting ready for swimmers. This is the time of year that most residents look forward to in The Hideout. Between the Recreation and Food and Beverage Departments, there are numerous activities and events planned for all ages. Please take the time to participate in these events and enjoy all The Hideout has to offer. The Tiki Bar's soft opening is scheduled for Saturday, May 19, so stop by and have a bite to eat, drink, and enjoy the outdoors!

In closing, I am looking forward to another great summer season and as always if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to my office.

The community has made a significant investment in newer roads. Like the purchase of a new home, maintenance and care is needed to extend the life of the large investment. Unfortunately, the adverse weather conditions in the region creates added distress onto the community asset. Despite the problems that arise, there are several options available to postpone paving.

The spring exposes potholes, cracks and other asphalt wear.

As a result, preservation of the roads is an ongoing effort that continues until the fall, year after year. Routine maintenance can extend the life of the road and reduce the need for urgent maintenance. This work may consist of crack sealing, patch repair and shoulder rehabilitation. Even with all the effort to correct the roads, unless tar and chip is utilized, repaving is still needed every 8-15 years.

During the summer, most of the maintenance staff is shifted to accommodate the heavy use of outside amenities. The staff care for the pools, remove trash from the parks, and clean up stray debris. At the same time, repairs are made to toilets, fences and lights, just to name a few. The team works tirelessly year-round to keep facilities open, while working to make improvements along the way.

Public Safety Corner

FROM ERICH SCHRAMM, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGER

Environmental Corner

As we turn the page from winter to spring, people will naturally turn to thoughts of summer and enjoying fun filled times in the water at the many lakes the Hideout has to offer. Before that happens, people need to be aware about two types of hazards that are associated with lakes: swimming and boating.

Swimming Hazards: Lakes have many hazards associated with them and here at the Hideout, our lakes are no different. At Roamingwood Lake, there are large rocks, some of which are submerged and some that are visible from the water’s surface.

Besides the obvious dangers of rocks to swimmers, lake currents around large rocks can be very strong and can pull under swimmers. Water levels can drop dramatically from shallow to very deep around large rocks. The substrate (bottom) of the lake can be covered with sand, gravel, or larger rocks so water shoes are recommended to avoid possible injury to swimmer’s feet. Water clarity of lakes can be highly variable so it can be very hard to see what can be in front of you so always exercise caution when entering a lake. Make sure that you swim in designated lifeguard protected areas of the lake and always swim with a buddy or in a group. REMEMBER THERE IS SAFETY IN NUMBERS! Always check the weather forecast before entering the water in case of lightning and thunder. Even if lightning is off in the distance, if you can see the lightning then evacuate the water immediately and take shelter in a sturdy building or in your car. Lightning and water do not mix!

Boating Hazards: Boating is one of the favorite activities at the Hideout, however there are some hazards every boater should be aware of. The main threat to boats are submerged rocks/partially submerged rocks along with underwater tree snags. Operate your boat at a safe speed and always be aware of your surroundings when operating a boat. When swimming off a boat, do not swim near large rocks and never swim underneath a boat. Make sure that boats are properly serviced and checked before the start of the boating season. A boat that is not properly serviced and checked can give off Carbon Monoxide which is a colorless and odorless gas that can kill you. Even people on the boat can be affected by Carbon Monoxide and there is no pre-warning that you are affected, so make sure that you have your boat checked and serviced every year.

This article is meant to educate and inform water lovers on the potential dangers here at the Hideout Lakes. Remember that an educated water lover is a safe one and that we can all enjoy nature’s most precious natural resource in a safe, responsible manner.

Work Zone Safe Driver Tips: • Stay Alert and Minimize Distractions • Dedicate your full attention to the roadway • Avoid changing the radio station, using a mobile phone, eating, or other distractions that can remove your concentration from the road • Keep Your Headlights On • "Listen to the signs" • Watch brake lights on vehicles ahead • Watch traffic around you and be prepared to react • Merge well before you reach the lane closure • Be aware that traffic patterns can change daily • Don't tailgate • Follow other vehicles at a safe distance • Obey the Posted Speed Limit • Workers may be present just feet away • Be prepared to slow down further if conditions indicate the need • Change lanes only where pavement markings indicate, and only when traffic conditions permit • Follow Instructions from Flaggers • Expect the Unexpected • Workers, work vehicles, or equipment may enter your lane without warning • Other vehicles may slow, stop, or change lanes unexpectedly • Be Patient

POA NEWS

THE HIDEABOUT NEWSPAPER

FROM RICHARD STRACZYNSKI

Registration Corner

“……Nothing is certain except death and taxes.”

SUMMER IS COMING…THE LAKES…THE POOLS… THE BEACH…THE TIKI BAR !!!!

This most famous quote comes from Benjamin Franklin, who touted the phrase after the signing of the Constitution of the United States. It is commonly written as “Nothing is certain but death and taxes,” but the full quote reads like this: “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”

Memorial Day traditionally begins the summer season.

As our Hideout “snowbirds” return home, remember to change your mailing address with us back to your “northeast” location.

Actually, these two factors are part of a more complex process called CHANGE. Nothing remains the same for long. Everything grows, flourishes, matures, and then reprocesses within the universe of things. This is true for the Hideout community since its inception in 1970. Think of all the ideas, projects, programs, personnel, and other happenings that have built us into a robust residential community.

Change is hard to implement and can be difficult to sustain over time. It takes cooperation between all levels of management, the Board, employees, associate members, and those who supply The Hideout with goods and services. Change management is an ongoing process that takes time, expertise, dedication, and efforts to implement and run.

Each year, as budgets are prepared and reviewed for the following year, the POA team offers suggestion for improvements in programs, new ideas for services and recreational activities, along with a focus on total Member Experience. There is always an in-depth analysis as to value, costs, rewards, and membership desires.

Next, this information must be communicated broadly, clearly, and dramatically, especially with respect to potential problems, desired successes, etc. To effectively implement change initiatives, the combined management team must identify the need for change and communicate it throughout the community.

Just think, The Hideout “Change” can be as simple as modifying an internal procedure or as complex as forming the Hideout Realty Group. Change can be as easily understandable as lake water quality, or the need for implementing a Code of Ethics. It can sometimes happen quickly or involve a multi-year program like the Roamingwood Project. In any case, The Hideout will continue to grow, flourish, and offer more value to its Members in the years to come.

In closing, you can contribute to the POA “Change” by becoming involved in The Hideout. Join a committee, read the monthly Hideabout Newspaper, search the POA website www.hideoutassoc.com, and/or attend Board meetings. The more you know, the better The Hideout becomes! Richard Straczynski

Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association Master Plan Update

CONSTRUCTION AREAS AND WORK SCHEDULING

The excavation work for the third and final stage of the sewer and water upgrade will continue in all parts of the South Side of the community. The installation of the street side grinder pumps will continue on Lakeview Drive West. The Lateral crew will start installing on the East side focusing their efforts on Grandview Drive, Glenwood Lane, and Roamingwood Road. Installation of the new sewer and water mains will continue on Lakeview Drive toward the main gate. Expect delays in this area because traffic will be restricted to one lane. A viable option would be to utilize the North Gate by accessing Miller Road (refer to our website for the latest map). Main line installation will then move to Parkwood Drive, Cedarwood Terrace and Lakewood Drive. With the expected warmer temperatures, the contractor is planning on patching the roads in preparation for paving which will result in localized traffic delays and detours.

With construction, please understand it is not unusual for plans to change at a moment’s notice. We ask that the members of the community be patient with us and respect the safety of the workers in the construction zones. When working on the roads we do our very best to utilize detours. Unfortunately detours are not always available and the best route is around the lake. Please be aware of this situation and always give yourself plenty of time to make your appointments.

There are a few houses still in need of an initial inspection. If you have not met with one of our inspectors to review the project compliances and what your home requires, it is urgent that you please call the Project Management Office to schedule an appointment. Additionally, some houses that have been inspected, have not had the control box installed, RS&W Project Management Office has contacted every homeowner we have on record, if you are a new homeowner and/or you are not certain if your home has been fitted with a control panel, please call the Project Management Office at (570) 698-6162 Option #2 to schedule an appointment for your house.”

Lot Number Range (as of August 2016) 1-20, 37-53, 125-133, 155-172, 174, 175, 298-315, 326-362, 407-456, 462-610, 620 -669, 684-752, 820-845, 1027-1061, 1082-1103, 1126-1231, 1298-1341, 14811484, 1516-1571, 1592-1619, 1644-1655, 1713-1745, 1770-1773, 1807-1857, 1885 -1890, 1903-2062, 2072-2147, 2264-2270, 2273-2275

HIRE

A CONTRACTOR THAT DOES NOT SUB THE WORK OUT!

By: Barry Neiss

Why should you have your windows professionally cleaned? It’s simple, your home is the biggest investment you will make in your lifetime so why not take good care of it. Window replacement can be rather expensive so you not only have to maintain the glass but you need to clean the seals. You shampoo your hair on a daily basis as well as condition it. So at a minimum you must clean your windows at least once a year professionally, if not twice. Your window glass is smooth to the touch but if you look at it under a microscope it’s comprised of valleys and ridges. It’s within these grooves that dirt piles up mixing with water and eventually causing hard water stains. The seals around at the edge of the frame must be cleaned and detailed as well to prevent dirt and debris from working its way under the seal letting air and moisture in causing a grey hazing in between the panes.

A professional window cleaner will be able to properly clean your windows. Window cleaning is a craft in itself and those who do it correctly have studied the science and use technology to their advantage. You will NOT see a professional using Windex, vinegar, dawn dish soap, paper towels, newspapers or cheap squeegees. A technician should be using the proper equipment. For your exterior glass, a water fed pole and brush with RO/DI reverse osmosis deionized pure water will be used leaving the windows wet causing totally spotless drying and a longer lasting clean. A pure water solution will also be used for the interior glass utilizing commercial grade squeegees and mops purchased through a cleaning supplier.

Choose your cleaning company carefully. Let them explain their process to you. Ask to see their equipment! For an interior/exterior cleaning, the technician should be dusting your window frames, glass, tracks, sills and screens. They will let you know if there are any issues with the windows. DO NOT hire the handyman, the jack of all trades, master of none guy to do this work.

It takes a specialist to handle your biggest investment with a gentle touch.

Did you know?

How households earn their income has changed dramatically over the last several decades. According to a Pew Research Center analysis of the Decennial Census and American Community Surveys integrated Public Use Microdata Sample files, in 1960 only fathers worked in 70 percent of American households. That figure has dropped in each ensuing decade and by 2012 fathers were the sole earners in just 31 percent of American households. While one in four households in American were dual income households in 1960, by 2012 that figure had risen to 60 percent. While those figures represent dramatic changes, the number of households in which mothers are the sole earners has not changed all that much since 1960. In 1960, mothers were the sole earners in just 2 percent of American households. Fifty-two years later 6 percent of American households featured mothers as the sole earners.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Common Shoulder Conditions In Golfers By: Bernard J. Povanda, PT, COMT, Direct Access Certified

The shoulder is the most flexible, most complex, joint in the human body with a greater range of motion than any other joint. It enables up to raise, bend, rotate, and swing our arms. A properly functioning shoulder is not only critical to the golf game, but to many daily activities. It is our most mobile, yet least stable joint. Its tremendous range of motion makes the shoulder less stable, and it is generally more prone to injury and dislocation than our other joints. Just to give you an idea of the complexity of it, the shoulder is made up of 3 bones, which are joined together by muscles, ligaments & tendons and the shoulder is composed of 4 joints.

The four most common shoulder conditions in golfers are: ~SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT: occurs when the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles become “impinged” or compressed as they pass underneath the top of the shoulder socket (the acromion). They become inflamed and irritated, which causes pain & stiffness.

Golfers who have this often complain of increased pain at the top of the backswing or at the end of the follow through, or weakness at the initial takeaway. ~AC JOINT DISEASE: affects the space where the collarbone attaches to the front of the shoulder blade. There can be separation of these two bones due to injury, or more commonly, the development of degenerative arthritis. This area is stressed during the backswing as the front arm comes across the body.

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED

Rt. 590 (NEXT TO HAMLIN POST OFFICE)

~SHOULDER INSTABILITY: occurs when the capsule & ligaments of the shoulder are too loose, putting people at risk for dislocation.

This can affect golfers when they are trying to maximize the shoulder turn to generate power, which requires great flexibility. The back of the shoulder can be unstable at the top of the backswing when the lead arm moves across the body. The front shoulder can be unstable at the end of the follow through phase, while the arm is rotated and lifted away from the body. ~ARTHRITIS: is the wearing down of the cartilage (or cushioning) between the two bony surfaces in a joint. Golfers over 50 are more prone to developing this wear & tear condition, known as osteoarthritis. When the cartilage in the shoulder joint becomes damaged, it leads to bone on bone contact, which causes pain with movement. It can limit range of motion, flexibility and strength.

As with many of the above conditions, warming up and working on your swing can help to prevent them. Your Hideout Golf Teaching Pro, Larry Lutz, can surely help you with your swing! Physical therapists play a key role in both treating and preventing the above injuries in golfers. As you prepare to head over to North Fairway Drive, consider contacting your local physical therapist for a conditioning and strengthening program. As always, the sooner you address any kind of pain, the faster the recovery!

Some may decide to share a table or two at a dinner or dance being held at the Main Lodge because they may not feel comfortable going alone. So, if you would like to meet, join them for dinner on Monday night.

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 Katie Lane (570) 698-5499, nankt@aol.com.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

We are a social group for members of all ages. We gather on a monthly basis, or more often if required by you, to talk about issues that are important to all of us in the Hideout. Let your voice be heard and join us. We will welcome your input. Contact: thehideoutvop@gmail.com

GOOD NEIGHBORS CLUB The Hideout Adult Social Group (HASG) is expanding our recently-formed Good Neighbors Club. We are pleased to coordinate the following Good Neighbors Club services to all members of the Hideout Community: 1. Many of us own wheelchairs, walkers and other medical equipment that we are not currently using. Others are in need of some of this equipment for a period of time. The HASG is compiling a list of such equipment.

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

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

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

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.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMINDERS RECYCLING

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

_________________________

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

_________________________

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

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

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

The Hideout does not provide information relative to the Membership.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

_________________________

2018 FEE SCHEDULE FOR PERMITS Non-FEE Permits: Painting – Staining (match to color chart) Re-Roofing Siding (vinyl, wood) FEE based Permits: Additions $ 100 Deck (Replacement) (New $ 75) $ 50 Dock / Bulkhead $ 60 Driveway (pave, repave) $ 50 Excavation / Demolition $ 40 Fuel Storage Tanks (Propane, Oil) $ 20 Garage – attached $ 100 Garage – detached $ 100 Gazebo $ 45 Generator $ 20 Landscape (major) $ 40 New Home $ 600 Parking Pad $ 45 Pet Enclosure or Electronic Fence $ 10 Porch / Sunroom $ 100 Railing $ 40 Retaining Wall $ 30 Satellite Antenna $ 10 Shed $ 45 Tree Removal $ 20 * New Home Tree Removal Deposit $3,000 Refundable

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

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

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

102 if you have any questions. Thank you.

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

_________________________

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

Overall, budgeted $71,000.00 for capital and is currently favorable $26,101.00 but still has some spending to occur. • Issued 18 traffic citations for the month and 28 year to date, 9 non-traffic citations and 15 year to date, 5 violation warning notices and 9 year to date, 7 motor vehicle accidents and year to date 11 with no serious injuries, 0 theft, burglary and criminal mischief for the month and 1 theft year to date and that had to do with the RS&W project where somebody took batteries out of their equipment in which we are still working on with the State Police, 46 investigations for the month and 101 year to date, 4 alarm responses and 14 year to date, 32 aided for the month and 66 year to date, 2 domestic disputes for the month and 3 year to date, 0 harrassment and fire calls for the month and year to date, 28,140 cars in the North gate for the month and 57,423 year to date, 19,234 cars in the main gate for the month and 39,647 year to date, 8,512 cars in Stock Farm for the month and 17,472 year to date, total cars approximately 55,886 for the month and 114,542 year to date, 4,532 guests for the month and 8,801 year to date, 3,606 phone calls for the month and 6,911 year to date, 9,256 patrol miles for the month and 19,543 year to date, 1,702 calls for service for the month and 3,580 year to date, 91 incident reports for the month and 196 year to date, 148.25 overtime hours for the month and 342.75 year to date, 829 fuels for the month 1,781 year to date. As the summer months approach the department will get busier. • Informed the members last month he put together a class that was conducted by the Pennsylvania State Police department of Homeland Security.

At first this was mandatory only for his department but then opened it up for all employees. This was an active shooter training seminar which is a hot topic that we take very seriously. He explained the presentation was excellent and they gave a lot of good information on how to handle it. Being an unarmed Public

Safety Department they are not the ones that will go in after the shooter but will stage outside and secure the area the best they can. It was well attended with well over 100 employees as well as Board members. Stated to get these guys is tough because they are in high demand.

He is looking for some time this year to open it up to the general membership.

-President stated this is unfortunate but is something we live with in today’s society so we are trying to get some kind of training and get the word out to the population. -Vice President stated he felt the training was good from a law enforcement perspective and having State Troopers come in playing actual audio tapes of active shootings going on from scenes that we have heard over the past years you realize what officers go through. This can happen anywhere and anytime of the day. It was mandatory for the employees to come in not to say everybody will be on point but it will help them know what they have to do which run, hide, fight and is being taught country wide. -Chairperson asked if we still offer AED/CPR classes in which we are but want at least a minimum of 10 participants due to a lack of them at the last class.

-Question regarding if training helps with our insurance liability in which it does not necessarily. -Concern about no safety camera at the Art Center especially in the winter time when it is dark. -Concern with our Public Safety Department not carrying firearms.

Communications Manager, Debbie McGowan: • Total revenue for January for the Community Relations department was $12,713 which was $963 favorable to budget. • Total expenses were $13,626 which was $308 unfavorable to budget, however ended the month with an operating surplus of $655. • Total revenue for February was $13,329 which was $1,079 favorable to budget. • Total expenses were $13,269 which is $103 unfavorable to budget and ended the month with an operating surplus of $1,631.

The slight deficit is within the paper market which is in turmoil right now and they will be adjusting if the price is normalized.

• Gearing up for the busy time of the year and will continue to watch expenses and bring in revenue. • Statistics for Facebook and the website for the month of March was 27,771 views of the webpage, most popular pages are the webcam page, the amenity page and the classified homes for sale page, 2,511 members have signed up for email blast and if you are not receiving them can sign up on the website or with registration, from March 14 to March 20 there were 2,630 viewing Facebook posts, 656 of those engage with the post through likes, comments and shares.

There were no questions or comments.

Facilities Manager, Robert Brinsfield: • Through the end of January and February there were 257 work orders generated, 220 completed, 151 tons of trash hauled away, 39 recycling containers which is equivalent to last year’s statistics. Used 3,256 gallons of gas primarily for plowing and 85 tons of salt due to nuisance storms dropping 1” to 2” of snow or ice. • Overall, $5,950 favorable through January and February.

• About three weeks ago had a storm that dropped a lot of trees throughout the community and there are plans for

Monday to start tackling those trees.

During the storm when they were coming down the department was working on plowing so the trees in the roads were cut and moved off the roadway to keep the roads open. Now that weather is favorable the department can work on those trees.

There are 46 trees in the North and 52 down in the South along the sides of the road. Maintenance will take care of trees within ten feet of the road but trees on a members property is a separate issue.

Anything on the lines was called into PP&L but they are overwhelmed too.

• After the massive storm in March 2017 and with the help from the Public Works Committee they have made a storm Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and partially initiated it and it worked well.

Thanked the Public Works Committee for their input. • Stated there are a lot of projects coming up the membership will see on the agenda.

-Compliment on the excellent job the department did this year with snow plowing. -Vice President stated we saw the problems we ran into last year so Facilities Manager put together an expansive plan on what type of people to bring in, proper equipment and if we need outside resources so we are thankful for the department getting the membership plowed out. -Compliment regarding the snow plowing from a member who lives on a cul-de-sac because they are usually the last ones to be plowed. -Question regarding the program and budget in relation to the RFP’s for the re-design of the main gate. -Discussion took place regarding the plans and budget for the re-design of the entrance. -Question about an update on the suppression system for the RSC. Financial Manager, Donna Kiely: • Stated managers have touched on the details for their individual departments so she will address the administration and overall first. • One item that is continually doing better which is assisted by the economy rebounding is the investment income for the funds have been continuing to go up. As some members may know we take the funds that are not needed immediately and invest those in bank CD’s and are now actually getting over 2%. These are the longer term items that for a while we were only getting .5%. This is equivalent to the fees and almost equivalent to zero percent return but we are doing better this year by $2500 in investment income. • In the administrative department we are behind on revenues and rentals are down a bit which most likely is due to Mother Nature because we took a hit on the second half of President’s weekend with rain and temperatures being over 50°. Basically the Christmas Holiday and President’s Holiday is when 90% of ski hill revenues come in. Rental fees for the homes are down as well. • When looking at the big picture we rebounded in February a bit from January overall $14,000.00 offset with an unfavorable performance from January. In February, even with revenues still down by $20,000.00 we managed to make it up with $32,000.00 in amenity expense savings. Therefore, year to date performance is $17,000.00 unfavorable to budget overall. • Operating income is off $30,000.00 but amenity expenses offset continued on page 44

Did you know?

Smoking is an unhealthy habit for anyone, but can be especially harmful to people who begin smoking before the age of 21.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people who start smoking before the age of 21 have the hardest time quitting. In addition, people who begin smoking as teenagers are more likely to use alcohol and illegal drugs than teens who do not smoke.

A recent report on the health consequences of smoking from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services noted that, if smoking rates among American youths continue at their current rates, more than 5.5 million Americans currently under the age of 18 will die early from a smoking-related illness. That equates to roughly one in 13 of today’s teenagers. Teenagers should know that cigarettes are not the only tobacco products that threaten their health. The CDC notes that low-tar and additive-free tobacco products also are harmful, as are chewing tobacco, e-cigarettes and cigars.

Nubia Malkin Art Center

By Sarah Blanche Brinsfield, Art Center Coordinator

Pickleball

That’s a funny name… what is pickleball anyway?

Pickleball is a court sport best described as a cross between tennis and ping-pong, and it first came to life due to a lack of badminton equipment.

Players are equipped with a racquet, either wooden or made of composite materials, and played with a whiffle ball on what can be compared to a mini tennis court. The game is designed for players of all ages and skill levels, making it the perfect family sport. Since its creation pickleball has swept the nation gaining popularity in communities in the southern states, in schools, and in recreational clubs.

Veterans and new players are all welcome to join.

Paddles are provided by Recreation for those who do not have their own equipment. Stop by on either of those days to get some exercise and learn one of the fastest growing sports in America.

ART JOKE: Why did the Artist call a tow truck? (Answer at bottom.)

April was an “Eggciting” month at the Nubia Malkin Art Center for many reasons, including egg-bubbling. Bubbling is a technique that was introduced to the Art Center two years ago and has since taken off as an easy and beautiful way to decorate any ceramic piece we carry in the studio. By adding just the right amount of soap and water to our specialty ceramic glazes, and blowing air through a straw into the mixture to create bubbles, some of the most beautiful results are created! It is by far one of the easiest ways to create a unique and stunning masterpiece that will last a lifetime!

There are many exciting things for you to do at the Nubia Malkin Art Center during the month of May. We are OPEN on Wednesdays 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Fridays Noon2:00 p.m., Saturdays 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., and Sundays Noon-5:00 p.m. We have a wide variety of ceramic pieces that you can choose from to paint with either acrylic or ceramic paints and friendly staff to help you every step of the way! Come in and paint any time that we are open or look on our calendar to see when we are having a class!

The Nubia Malkin Art Center is now taking Summer Camp Registration for children ages 7 and up, for not one, but TWO different camp sessions this summer! Sign your child up for one session or both! The Cost is $45 per session and your child will be submerged in drawing, painting, ceramics, tie-dyes, hand building in clay, ceramics, and more. Each session will vary from the other so your child will never stop learning!

Session I is July 16-20, 2:00-4:00 p.m. with an Art Show on Saturday the 21st at 6:00 p.m. and Session II is August 6-10, 2:00-4:00 p.m. with an Art Show on Saturday the 11th at 6:00 p.m. Any questions, call and ask for Sarah Blanche Brinsfield, Art Center Coordinator.

This year the Recreation Department is shaking up the Boat Regatta, we are including Jet Skis this year, and also adding the Residential Docks all around the lake for the June 30th celebration.

This year’s theme will be your ‘Favorite Decade.’ Your choice to reflect this time frame is totally up to you… a Beatles Theme for the 60’s, Sock Hop from the 50’s, Rock n’ Roll from the 70’s, or a movie theme, Jaws, Back to the Future, Lost, Castaway, Steve Jobs, etc., your imagination is the limit.

There will be three prizes awarded. The winner of the Motor Boat Regatta and the winner of the Jet Ski Regatta will receive a registration fee for next year, equal to $95.

The Residential Dock will win a $50 Hideout Cash Card for the best decorated dock.

We will have the usual judging of the boats and jet skis starting at 2:00 p.m. in the Marina, with the jet skis following after the boats. Once both categories have been decided, the judges will leave the Marina for a trip around Roamingwood Lake for the judging of the residential docks.

Please call the Recreation Department to register your motor boat, jet ski theme, and to register your dock for the judges. (570) 630-3733

May Day has a long and storied history. May Day was initially designated to welcome the change in season, notably spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

Druids and ancient Gaelic people would have festivals to celebrate the return of life and fertility to the world. One popular May Day tradition involved the maypole, which can be traced back to Medieval times. May Day festivities involved dancing around the maypole, which was adorned with colorful ribbons and streamers. Some historians surmise that these ritualistic dances were also courtship dances and fertility rituals. In the 19th century, May Day celebrations evolved from one celebrating spring to a commemoration of labor rights in the United States. The Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions wanted to end the poor working conditions and long hours workers faced and held a convention in Chicago, where they proposed an eight-hour workday.

Although implemented on May 1, 1886, May Day as a labor movement never fully took root as a holiday in the United States, and was later surpassed by Labor Day, which is celebrated in September. However, May Day is still celebrated in 66 other countries.

Few sporting events are shrouded in history and tradition as much as the Kentucky Derby. Billed as “the fastest two minutes in sports,” the Derby began in 1875 and is celebrated each year on the first Sunday in May. Many horse racing fans make entire weekends out of the Derby, planning their celebrations months in advance of the race. For those who cannot travel to Churchill Downs and attend the race in person, viewing parties are available all over the globe.

The pageantry surrounding the Kentucky Derby is well documented, but the following are a few interesting tidbits about the famed “Run for the Roses®.”

• The Kentucky Derby began when Meriwether Lewis Clark traveled to Europe and attended the Epsom Derby in England.

Clark was inspired to create a similar horse racing event in America.

• 2018 marks the 143rd running of the race.

• Each year, roughly 120,000 mint juleps are consumed at Churchill Downs. The mint julep is the traditional drink of the Derby, and it is made with Kentucky bourbon, simple syrup, mint, crushed ice, and powdered sugar.

• Secretariat is the fastest horse in Derby history, crossing the finish line in less than two minutes.

• There have been 19 winning horses in Kentucky Derby history whose names begin with the letter “S”.

• On Derby Day, the infield at Churchill Downs will host 80,000 celebrants.

• The Kentucky Derby race track is 11/4 miles, which has been the standard since 1896. The first Derby races were slightly longer, at 11/2 miles.

• Male horses win the race more often than females. Of the 40 fillies to compete throughout Derby history, only three have won.

• Elegantly dressed women donning overthe-top hats will grace Churchill Downs for the race. Many begin planning their styles and securing their hats weeks in advance.

• The best finish for a female jockey at the Derby was fifth place. Rosie Napravnik finished fifth while riding Mylute in 2013.

• “The Run for the Roses” refers to the red rose blanket that will be draped over the winner of the Derby.

From The Rough

A golf tip from Larry Lutz, Hideout Golf Teaching Pro Here is some advice the next time you step on the tee box. Often times golfers step onto the tee box thinking about where they DON’T want their ball to go. Your mind is the most important thing in your “bag.” So if you think, “don’t hit it in the lake” the only thing your subconscious hears is, “hit it in the lake.” To avoid this problem, focus on the outcome you WANT instead of the one you don’t. Positive thoughts, tend to lead to positive results.

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

Enjoy golf? Volunteer some time as a member of the Golf Committee. The Committee meets on the 2nd Friday of each month May through September. Meetings are focused and last around one hour.

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

BOARD MEETING MINUTES

THE HIDEABOUT NEWSPAPER

Board of Director Draft Meeting Minutes continued from page 20

that by $12,000.00. Unfortunately, a large portion of this was in ski revenues in which there wasn’t much that could be done.

Stated we do have the contingency line item in the budget which we use to offset that. • Dues revenues for the month of February are just shy of $2 million for cash coming in and 1218 lots are paid in full for February. In 2017, there were 767 and 730 in 2016. 30% of the residents have paid in February bringing it to 42% paid by the end of February. This is one of the items that allowed us to invest early because the cash came in early. After speaking with the investment advisor we enrolled money for 3, 6, and 9 months to get return on the funds. • There were a few delinquent accounts that the Financial Supervisor was able to collect. • Stated the next page on the report is operational details in which the managers addressed in their reports above. • Year to date variance on the amenity is $30,000.00 but we have the contingency fund and plan to make this up.

• Explained the word timing that the Food & Beverage manager was trying to address which sometimes we do have issues where it is merely a timing explanation that happens a lot in the environmental area. This is where we intended to spend the money in February but we spent it in January so the budget will offset it in the coming months. Sometimes the variance is not timing and those are the ones we need to keep an eye on because we have to plan to offset them with either increase revenues or decreased expenses. The General Manager has instructed managers to keep a tight watch on their expenditures.

• Capital report is light because the Facilities Manager has been extremely busy with the bidding process. They do a great job with utilizing the purchase policy and getting three plus bids for each project and that is what the Board will be reviewing in the below items. • Stated we have wrapped up the annual audit and had three to four auditors at the POA for two to three weeks. The schedule she is finishing up is the Reserve Study schedule with footnotes that has been sent over with no issues of concern. Will be wrapping up the Reserve Study schedule and then will have Ray Zavada in to present to the Board. This will not be the next meeting because Princeton Hydro will be in but the Workshop following. Explained they do samples of cash receipts and disbursements, examine for following of procedures, proper approvals and signatures and they do a thorough job in order for the membership to feel confident in operations. -Question regarding who the auditors are which Zavada & Associates is. -Concern regarding if the procedure for issuing PO’s is being followed and questioned how much has been spent on purchase orders over the past six months. -Discussion took place regarding the procedures for purchases under $500.00 and an issue where there was a purchase made without a purchase order.

-Question regarding when the Governing Documents Committee is meeting and a concern of the lack of meetings being held.

Statement that he reviewed the letter from Attorney Farrell and the verbiage regarding shareholders is incorrect because this is a membership that contributes membership fees to operate the Hideout. Stated article VIII section 2 is access for any member to have the right of inspection but the attorney objected that and cited case law from 1952

that doesn’t apply to a chartered non-profit with our own bylaws which states we have the right to inspect and it should be honored. - Discussion took place regarding the fact the above is going to be discussed further in Executive Session. - Statement regarding the fact that the board has changed many times and is proud of what we do here because no one in 23 years has been taking out of here in handcuffs.

Also, complimented the board for what they go through for no pay.

(Questions or comments with regard to Old Business) Chairman informed members the hideout is open twelve months a year and the board and departments continue to keep working during winter months and still need to conduct business. Workshops are advertised for the membership and the primary purpose for the below business is because there are particular discounts that would expire in a certain period of time.

Last year we lost a couple because of the timing of approval. Also, project schedules that may need major construction or repairs need to get on the contractors list and if we miss this we miss the season. The board looks at this so we have the equipment ready for the summer season, don’t miss discounts and to make sure repairs are completed before summer starts.

4. Old Business: 18-01 MOTION RESOLVED TO accept the Wildlife and Forestry Committee’s recommendation that the Hideout obtain 85 deer tags for the United States Department of Agriculture to conduct a deer cull not to exceed $22,000 for total service of the cull and processing of the deer.

Also, the committee wanted to give the membership a method if they vote yes that it is going to be changed and if not they can vote no. The count is scheduled for April 7.

HASG International luncheon

On Thursday, April 12, the HASG held its International luncheon at the Main Lodge. A variety of delicious food was prepared by the members.

The luncheon was chaired by Jean David, and volunteers for serving and clean-up were: Doris Kane, Lucille Koehler, Kathy Lubanski, Judy Pepe, Enid Rosenburg, Barbara Kelczewski, Jean David, and (not pictured) Jo DeVoe, Isabella Tridente, Mary Boyer & Joyce LaRocca.

Woodworkers Project

By: Terri Ditty, Broker Associate

Long before home buyers set foot in your place, declare with a flourish “This is the one,” watch the clouds part and the rainbows form, and make you a terrific offer, they have to know you’re selling it first. And it’s up to you and your Realtor® to spread the word. Only how?

Here’s how to put together an attractive online ad that will win you plenty of admirers— and plenty of honest-to-God prospective buyers!

Take great pics Online house shopping is a lot like online dating. Everyone will tell you they loved your bio, but really, they’re just looking at the photos. To show your home in the best light, ask your Realtor for suggestions, but here is a good start…

Store away everything you can before you start shooting. Movable art, throw pillows, brightly colored small appliances, and other knickknacks might make your home look cozy and inviting to buyers in person, but those small items don’t translate well in photos. For your photos to look the best, you want to draw the eye to the key elements of the room—such as the fireplace, wall of windows, super kitchen, etc. Too much going on in each shot? Those eyes won’t know where to focus.

Write a winning description After the photos, buyers will read your listing details. At the top of your listing should be the basics: number of bedrooms and bathrooms and the square footage. Next come the stand-out features. That includes things like interior finishes, a fireplace, an outdoor kitchen, or any upgrades. While your Realtor will usually write your listing, you can (and should) have final approval. And it turns out certain words reel in buyers better than others. Here are five words correlated with a higher sales price, according to research featured in Freakonomics: • Granite • Maple • State-of-the-art • Gourmet • Corian

This beautiful table was made by Patrick McFadden and is the Woodworkers Project of the Month.

Hideout Members Panama Bound!

The reason these work: They’re specific. Granite countertops give you a good idea what that kitchen is like, as do maple floors. Terms that are vague or appear to be trying too hard will backfire. Below are five terms correlated to a lower sales price: • Charming • Fantastic • Great neighborhood • Spacious • !

So keep an eye out for eye-roll-inducing adjectives that might very well turn off buyers.

Build buzz on social media To get the word out, your Realtor will post your listing in the local multiple listing service, worldwide sites such as realtor.com®, Zillow.com, and their own brokerage business website. To add to the potential buyer pool yourself, get to sharing. Social media isn’t only for pictures of cats and political opinions; you can find a buyer for your house, too.

These days you really have no choice but to smartly use social media to promote your listings. After all, your friends and acquaintances will take a special interest in helping you out—make doing so just a click away. Even if they aren’t looking to buy, someone in their own network could be, so encourage your friends to share the post and pass it along. While Facebook is a tried-and-true favorite for posting listings, you can also use Twitter or photo-driven Instagram to great effect.

Bottom line: You never know which avenue will reach the right home buyer who will lay eyes on your home and fall in love. And all you need is love—however you find it.

Hideout Members took to the seas on a Panama Canal Cruise. Not only did they bring their I Love The Hideout T-shirts they also brought along our Hideabout Newspaper. Lyle & Judy Britton, Tom & Donna Bove, and Ralph & Teresa Concepcion.

SPRINGTIME FUN AT WOODLOCH

The HAA has been very busy planning events that all Hideout residents can participate in. Our first major trip will be to Peters Valley School of Craft Open House on May 6 in Layton, NJ. HAA members are planning to meet there at 1:00 p.m. and then begin the tour of the site.

Peters Valley School of Craft is home to over 300 artisans, and they specialize in the following crafts: Blacksmithing, Ceramics, Fiber, Fine Metals, Photography, Print making, Weaving and Woodworking. Visitors will be treated to studio demonstrations and hands on activities. There will also be activities for kids in the hands on Youth Art Tent. Food will be available on site. Professional artists will have booths set up where they will be selling their creations. The Open House will be from 11:00-4:00 p.m.

Directions are: take Route 84 to exit 46 (Milford, PA). Take Route 6 into the town of Milford. Go straight at the traffic light onto Route 209 South. Follow (about 15 min.) until you reach the traffic light that intersects Route 739. Take Route 739 South across the Dingmans Ferry Bridge ($1 toll) Take the first right at the sign to Peters Valley. Follow the road approximately 2 miles until you come to a stop sign. Make a right onto Kuhn Road. The PV Office is on your left and the Gallery is on your right.

Other trips that are currently in the planning stages include, the Grey Towers Mansion, the Culinary Institute and FDR House, the Grounds for Sculpture and Rats Restaurant.

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.

GENERATOR - 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.

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.

Property Line Information

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 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.

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

ALL LOTS in the Hideout are REQUIRED to have an emergency post. Numbers must be visible in poor lighting conditions. Don’t know your “emergency number”? Call the Main Office at 689-1400 x102. Reflective number stickers can be obtained at the Rt 590 Main Gate in the Public Safety Office.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Finances have been drawing your attention in your life a lot lately. Pay attention to the subtle clues to get your assets in order.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Swimming against the tide will only tire you out. If the battle isn’t worth waging on something trivial, just go with the flow. Save your energy for bigger issues.

PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20 There are some very interesting opportunities coming your way, Pisces. Just be sure to grab onto them fast.

The effects of family dinners

MAY 2018 • 61

Puzzle answers from page 60

Once a staple of family life, family dinners are now in decline. The American College of Pediatricians® reports that family time at the dinner table has declined by more than 30 percent over the past three decades. That unfortunate development could have a significant impact on children as they grow up.

The importance of family meals goes beyond parents ensuring their children are eating healthy diets. Family meals can affect various aspects of children’s lives, some of which may surprise parents.

Family meals and substance abuse - For years, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University has studied the links between family dinners and substance abuse among teenagers. Former U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare Joseph Califano noted that 17 years of studying teens taught CASA researchers that the more often children have dinner with their families, the less likely they are to smoke, drink or do drugs. Such studies have shown that children who have between five and seven family dinners per week are considerably less likely to use tobacco, alcohol and marijuana than children who eat dinner with their families three or fewer times per week.

Family meals and academic performance - Family meals also have been linked to stronger performances in the classroom. One study from CASA found that teens that have frequent family dinners were nearly 40 percent more likely to report earning A’s and B’s in school than their counterparts who ate two or fewer dinners with their families each week. In addition, a 2012 analysis from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found that students who do not regularly eat with their parents are more likely to be truants at school than those who frequently break bread with their parents.

Family meals and family bonding - Family dinner tables are great places to bond as families, and families that eat dinner together more often tend to spend more time at the dinner table during such dinners than those who infrequently eat dinner together. CASA researchers report that teens who have frequent family dinners are twice as likely to say dinners lasts more than 30 minutes when compared to those who have infrequent family dinners. Time at the dinner table gives parents and children time to engage and communicate with one another, promoting strong relationships as a result.

Family meals may be on the decline, but families who make time to eat dinner together every night or several nights per week can benefit from such efforts in various ways.

HOLIDAYS As we define this time of year As holidays from years gone by We share the pain that brings out tears Then joy for those who bring us cheers These moments cause us to recall Those bravest souls some small some tall They’ve changed the way we think of men Who wrote down how and cause and when There are so many we must give Our blessings on these holiday’s And though they come from different ways We bend a knee and pray.
