FROM RICHARD YOCUM

Board President’s Message

It’s April and it’s time to welcome Spring! With the Winter weather finally in our rear-view mirror, I want to thank all our employees for their dedication and hard work during the last few wintery months. Our Maintenance Department did a great job in keeping our roads and parking lots clear of snow, ice, and fallen tree limbs. The team at recycling braved the elements to keep that facility operating. Our Public Safety Department, regardless of the weather conditions, continued to make their rounds and were always available to our members in need of assistance. While Maintenance and Public Safety were keeping us all safe, other Hideout Departments were keeping us entertained with fun activities, great food, and entertainment during those cold and dreary months. Despite ever-changing weather conditions, our team at the Ski Hill did a great job making and maintaining snow. Because of their efforts we had a very successful ski season for our members to enjoy. The various activities hosted by the Recreation Department provided us with many ways to pass the time. With many activities such as walking for wellness, after school open play, chair yoga, and pickleball, the Recreation Department offered us many choices to stay active inside; while the cold winter winds blew outside. Also, let us not forget all the options offered by the team at the Art Center. A highlight of the season was the Recreation Department’s events at the Ski Hill for Presidents Day weekend. In addition to all these activities, whenever we needed to recharge and have a great meal, the team at the Food and Beverage

Community Manager’s Message

Department provided us with many options. We could enjoy food specials and entertainment at the Clubhouse, Tuesday night dinners and Saturday afternoon lunch at the Lodge or grab a bite to eat at the Ski Hill Lodge.

While all these activities and programs are going on, there are also many who are working behind the scenes. The team at the POA kept everything organized and running smoothly. The team at Housekeeping were always on the move to make sure our amenities were clean for our membership and staff. And our Communications Department always kept us informed about what was going on in The Hideout through email blasts and putting together this paper and the Hideabout Extra.

As we look forward to the warmer weather, on behalf of our membership, “A big thank you to all our staff for a very successful winter season”.

Dear Hideout Members and Staff, We hope you had an enjoyable holiday season with your family and friends.

Thank you to all our members who paid their dues by the March 31st deadline. Dues are the main source of income for The Hideout and enable us to operate, maintain and improve upon our amenities. After the past several rainy, snowy, and cold winter months, we anxiously await spring. I’d like to express appreciation to our Maintenance staff for their excellent snow removal performance over the past few months. Our team will now turn to the task of preparing our amenities for the spring and summer seasons. With the purchase of much needed equipment, they will continue to meet the needs of The Hideout. We would also like to acknowledge our Public Safety Department for their dedication and service to our community. They are currently focusing on security improvements at the gates.

Thank you to all of our members and their guests who visited the Winter Sports Complex this season. We are very pleased by the Complex’s performance this season, despite the poor weather

conditions. Their target income was $108,000 for the season, and we are pleased to report that they brought in $150,000. The Ski Hill Grill will stay open into May serving breakfast and lunch. Our managers are now working on plans to improve processes and increase offerings at the Complex. “Concert on the Hill” bookings for June, July and possibly August will be announced soon.

The Hideout is a complex enterprise with many moving parts. Ensuring the Association’s continued success is the primary goal of the Board of Directors and Administration. We are so grateful for our members who volunteer their time and talent for the betterment of our community. If you or anyone you know would like to join The Hideout team as a seasonal, part-time or full-time employee, please contact our Human Resources Department at (570) 630-3705. Our community is especially beautiful in the spring. Thank you for helping us to keep it clean and safe.

Food & Beverage Corner

To Our Valued Hideout Members –

The Food and Beverage Department continues to push ahead implementing upgrades and changes to enhance the members’ experience and reducing some recurring costs. Members will notice that we have added tasteful vinyl tablecloths that the Food & Beverage Committee picked out. This change will save a considerable amount of money over the long term. The various menus are being condensed to one menu, reducing the ongoing paper and printing costs. For the Tiki Bar this summer, we are exploring options to reduce the costs and sheer number of disposables used.

With safety and security, along with staff quality of life, a standard last call and closing time has been implemented at the Clubhouse. On weekdays, last call will be at 10:30 p.m. with an 11 p.m. closing time. Friday and Saturdays’ last call will be at 11:30 p.m. with a 12:30 a.m. closing time. All members and nonessential staff will need to vacate the building.

This month the Clubhouse has booked

some “new” entertainment.

Come check them out and let us know if we should bring them back: April 12th – Kevin Campion, April 19th – Elliot Stroul, April 20th – Amy Nebraski, to name a few. Also, at the Lodge: April 6th – Night of Comedy (last month’s performance sold out) and April 13th – Dinner and 70’s Dance Party with DJ Billy.

Finally, the Food and Beverage Department is looking to hire: Day-time prep cooks, and several line cooks, full-time or part-time. Positions are available immediately. We will start interviewing servers, bartenders, service assistants and dishwashers mid-April 2024. Should you have some interest or know someone on or off property, please have them contact Human Resources at kbeck@thehideout.us.

As always, stop and say Hello. Until next month…

Facilities Corner

Spring has arrived!!!

With the winter weather finally over and the spring months ahead, the Public Works Department has been busy planning our spring and summer projects and gearing up to open all the outdoor amenities. All outdoor restrooms will be open by the middle of April and all the parks will be ready for the season by the first of May. Our team worked extremely hard during the winter months ensuring our roads where clear of snow and ice and members had an easier time driving through the community. I can’t thank my team enough for the hard work and dedication that they bring each and every day.

The Main Pool will be fully renovated and ready to open for Memorial Weekend. We will also be installing new pool pumps and installing a new electrical panel for the Main Pool.

The Tiki Bar deck will be expanded and this project will also be completed by Memorial Weekend. We will also be installing a concrete walkway from the Tiki Bar steps down to the Waterfront Grill.

The Waterfront Grill has a new service window that was installed to help better serve our members during the summer season.

The beaches will be regraded and there will be new sand installed. The Main Beach has been modified to help reduce stormwater runoff that was causing issues to the beach and removing sand due to the slope of the beach. It was difficult to prevent this, but we do believe the work our team has completed will reduce this issue drastically.

The Clubhouse deck is scheduled to be replaced and this project is currently listed on Penn Bid to secure more bids. The deck will be replaced with the future expansion in mind. New piers and stronger beams will help support an addition to the Clubhouse in the future.

We currently have a bid package on Penn Bid to line stripe our main roads and perform crack-sealing in 2024. We plan on performing crack-sealing over

the next couple of years to add life to our roads so we can prepare to repave in the future.

Stormwater remediation is an ongoing process. We have already completed numerous jobs in The Hideout and the largest project was our Maplewood Swale which is now fully complete and will allow water to enter the lake without causing future issues. We have the team and the equipment to tackle almost every storm water project and this team continues to perform above expectations.

The Public Works Department will be getting a new road side mower attachment to assist in trimming the vegetation along the roadway and maintaining the vegetation around our dams.

Trash and recycling will continue to operate at our normal scheduled hours:

Monday-Friday 6am-8pm and SaturdaySunday 8am-8pm. Bulk garbage will also continue on the same schedule as 2023. Members in good standing can receive their 2024 Bulk Garbage Passes from the POA office Tuesday-Saturday 8am-3pm and Bulk Garbage drop off is days are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 11am-12:30pm. We do not accept electronics, refrigerants, or any excessive construction material.

Members that are performing lot improvements or remodeling projects are advised to have a dumpster dropped on their property to dispose of all construction related material.

Members that have any questions or concerns in regard to stormwater or any other Facility-related questions can contact my office by calling 570-698-4100 ext 136 or email dpolhamus@thehideout. us

Members can also contact the Facilities Administrative Assistant, Melissa Ptakowski by calling 570-698-4100 ext. 125 or email mptakowski@thehideout.us

Greetingsand happy April. It’s finally spring which means summer is just around the corner. The warmer weather is allowing us to get ready for the start of our outdoor recreation season. The Recreation Department is very excited for an eventful 2024. Roamingwood Lake and the Recreation activities will soon be in full swing. I strongly encourage everyone to take a look at the lakes and marina rules that are posted, on our website, and available at the Recreation Center.

or watercraft that meets our needs. New to 2024 is a changed rule that now allows 18-foot boats.

Please keep a look out for new announcements regarding new recreational opportunities for this summer in The Hideout. Our department has some big announcements coming soon and we are eager to share the news with you. Please be on the lookout for the announcements of our summer concert series at the Ski-Hill.

We are ready for summer and are happy to accommodate your family’s summer plans. Please call Recreation with any questions: 570-630-3733.

What an awesome first month in my new role as your Community Relations Manager! I am happy to share that within a few short weeks the role has already exceeded my expectations with welcome twists and challenges I had not anticipated.

One of those unexpected turns was getting to "Co-Host" Adult Bingo night at the Main Lodge with the Recreation Department. I began my evening with the intent to take some pictures (check out page 30), and mingle with a few members. However, shortly into game play, I found myself on the microphone calling numbers and interacting with, not just a handful of members, but the whole crowd. Thank you Recreation team members John Boandl, Fallon Valentin, and Noah Robinson for letting me join in the emceeing fun; and a very special thank you to the lively crowd full of so many fun and friendly members. Similar vibes could also be found at the Art Center, and Indoor Sports Complex over the last few weeks. From wood burning, ceramic painting and stainedglass fabricating, to racing across the courts collecting Easter Eggs; there was no shortage of action at any of the

amenities I visited.

Another unexpected joy I uncovered was right in my office.

At it's core, the Communication Department's goal is to provide information to the community, and many of our goals over the next few months focus on enhancing that. But moving forward does not mean we can't also reflect back and provide information on our community's history too. Thumbing through the office shelves of archived Hideabout Issues has been both informative and entertaining. You'll notice snippits of these sprinkled into the pages of this paper, with more to follow in upcoming Issues.

If you have any Hideout Nostalgia you would like to share: I would love to speak to you! Please don't hesitate to reach out, especially long time residents with photos, brochures, maps, etc. Not looking for donations, just to see them, make duplicates, and document your stories. I'll meet you for a cup of coffee and conversation!

FROM MATT PUZIO, PUBLIC SAFETY MANAGER

Public Safety Corner

Dear valued Members,

As the winter fades away and spring arrives, I’d like to take this time to remind everyone about the importance of Motorcycle Safety. Please also ensure that you have registered your motorcycle with the Registration Department. Passes or stickers are not currently required to be affixed to them, however we do need them registered to ensure an expedited entrance process at the gates when the gate operator validates entry. If you choose, you may purchase an additional gate access remote or swipe card for your motorcycle. Please remind your guests and visitors that they must check in at one of our gate offices when they arrive. A valid Driver’s License & Motorcycle Registration is required upon checking in for entry.

Vital Tips for Drivers and Motorcycle Awareness:

1.Remember that motorcycles react more quickly than cars

2.Nighttime riding can be treacherous for motorcyclists

3.Always check your blind spots

4.If passing, be extra cautious

5.Intersections are danger zones. Watch for turning motorcycles

As drivers of cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs, we have the responsibility not only to share the road, but also to take proactive measure to increase the safety of motorcycle riders who we encounter in our travels.

It’s RIDE O’CLOCK Somewhere!

NWF (National Wildlife Federation)

•Please consider registering your Hideout property as certified wildlife habitat through the NWF.

•The Hideout is seeking national recognition as a certified wildlife habitat community via the NWF. In order to achieve this goal, 150 residents must have their property registered with the NWF. We are nearing this goal, and would become members of a small group of communities throughout the state of Pennsylvania by reaching this designation!

•Upon registering a property as certified wildlife habitat, a $20 fee is due. The Hideout will cover this $20 fee for all residents who seek registration of their property.

•To register, please email the Environmental Manager (pmatarazzo@thehideout.us) for a link providing online registration, or stop by the POA office for a paper application!

oFor any questions regarding certifying property as NWF wildlife habitat please reach out to the environmental manager via the email address provided above as well.

Environmental Updates

•USDA deer population surveys are to occur the first week of April.

B.Env.Sc.,

oGenerally, deer populations are surveyed in the winter, spring will give a fresh perspective on our local deer population, and help the Hideout more effectively manage a healthy herd.

oNo deer were culled in the 2024 calendar year.

oAny questions regarding deer management, and population numbers can be answered by contacting the Environmental Manager (Paul Matarazzo) via email or phone.

oTrees Impeding the dam were removed.

oStone was added for reinforcement along the dam face.

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

Environmental Manager

National Wildlife Federation

Beginning in 2021, The Hideout POA embarked on a mission to gain designation as a National Wildlife Federation certified community. The certification would label The Hideout as a wildlife friendly community. This may not seem like a big deal, but only a small number of communities in the country have met the requirements for this label. 200 communities in the U.S. have gained this NWF designation, while only 14 communities are currently certified in Pennsylvania. The NWF is a fantastic organization that gives back exponentially to our wildlife, and ecosystems as a whole. On their community front, they aid in many key components to keeping “nature natural”. They support keeping areas forested, reducing polluted runoff and its consequential effects on water quality, best management practices (BMPs) in regards to conservation, preservation of pollinators, and preservation of beauty within the community. All of this is accomplished through their guidelines to certifying individual properties as wildlife gardens and habitat.

environmental policies, all the more

reason to give them our support, and want to be a part of such a great organization.

In order to reach our designation as a wildlife friendly community, 73 additional residents need to register their property as wildlife habitat. The fee to register one’s property with the NWF is $20, which the POA will cover in its entirety.

REAL ESTATE

Spring Maintenance for Homes: Enhancing Value

By: Terri Ditty, Associate Broker

GOOD NEIGHBORS CLUB

The Hideout Adult Social Group (HASG) believes in neighbors helping neighbors. Although the Good Neighbors Club is a function of the HASG, we are pleased to offer medical equipment to all Hideout residents.

Many people in The Hideout have donated medical equipment which they no longer have need of. These items are now being kept in a storage closet in the Indoor Sports Complex. There are lots of walkers and crutches, some canes, numerous potty chairs, and shower seats, a few wheelchairs and a scooter. If you have need of any of these for yourself or if a guest is coming for the weekend and is in need of one for that time period, you may borrow one by stopping in at the Recreation office, (570) 630-3733, and someone will show you to the storage closet.

Please remember to sign out whatever you are borrowing. If you are unable to get to the Indoor Sports Complex, please contact Carolyn Hanel, at (215) 378-7566 and she will arrange for you to get what you need. ■

As the chill of winter melts away, spring brings new life to homes in The Hideout and presents an ideal opportunity for homeowners to undertake essential maintenance tasks. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, spring maintenance plays a pivotal role in preserving property value and ensuring longevity in the real estate market of The Hideout.

Inspecting and Repairing Exterior Structures

Now is the time to assess the exterior of your home. Inspecting roofs, gutters, and siding for any signs of damage incurred during winter is imperative. Repairing any cracks, leaks, or missing shingles not only enhances the curb appeal but also prevents potential structural issues down the line. In The Hideout's competitive real estate market, a well-maintained exterior significantly boosts a property's desirability and resale value.

Reviving Landscapes and Gardens

Spring breathes life into landscapes, making it the perfect time to rejuvenate gardens and shrubbery. Clearing debris, pruning shrubs, and planting seasonal flowers not only enhances

the visual appeal of the property but also creates a welcoming atmosphere. A well-maintained landscape can be a distinguishing factor in the real estate market, attracting potential buyers seeking a tranquil retreat in The Hideout's picturesque surroundings.

Servicing HVAC Systems

As temperatures rise, ensuring that heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are in optimal condition becomes crucial. Spring maintenance involves cleaning or replacing air filters, checking ductwork for leaks, and scheduling professional HVAC inspections. A well-functioning HVAC system not only enhances comfort but also demonstrates to potential buyers that the property has been well-cared for, potentially speeding up the sale process. Spring maintenance is not only about refreshing the appearance of homes but also about preserving their value and appeal in the competitive real estate market. By investing time and effort into essential maintenance tasks, homeowners can ensure their properties stand out and attract discerning buyers seeking the perfect haven in The Hideout.

Respectfully submitted,

Jennifer Wargo Secretary/Treasurer

What is Planter Fasciitis?

By: Bernard J. Povanda, PT, COMT, FAAOMPT

Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia. This fascia is a broad band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot. Its primary function is to connect the heel bone to the toes.

When this area becomes inflamed it will lead to heel pain. The discomfort is most prevalent when taking the first steps in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest. The condition typically develops gradually and is often associated with overuse, high impact activities, improper footwear, or biomechanical issues such as flat feet or high arches.

Plantar Fasciitis can affect people of all ages but is more prevalent in runners, athletes and individuals who spend hours on their feet. While the pain can be debilitating it is usually manageable with conservative treatment. Common treatment may include rest, ice therapy, stretching exercises, wearing supportive footwear and use of orthotic inserts. In more severe cases medical interventions like physical therapy, corticosteroid injections, shockwave therapy or surgery may be a course of action.

When an individual experiences these types of symptoms a proper diagnosis and early intervention is crucial for effective management of plantar fasciitis and prevention of long-term complications. Your local physical therapist can be a vital option if you find yourself battling this type of problem.

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.

Spring Maintenance for Homes: Enhancing Value

By: Terri Ditty, Associate Broker

Asthe chill of winter melts away, spring brings new life to homes in The Hideout and presents an ideal opportunity for homeowners to undertake essential maintenance tasks. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, spring maintenance plays a pivotal role in preserving property value and ensuring longevity in the real estate market of The Hideout.

Inspecting and Repairing Exterior Structures

Now is the time to assess the exterior of your home. Inspecting roofs, gutters, and siding for any signs of damage incurred during winter is imperative. Repairing any cracks, leaks, or missing shingles not only enhances the curb appeal but also prevents potential structural issues down the line. In The Hideout's competitive real estate market, a well-maintained exterior significantly boosts a property's desirability and resale value.

Reviving Landscapes and Gardens

Spring breathes life into landscapes, making it the perfect time to rejuvenate gardens and shrubbery. Clearing debris, pruning shrubs, and planting seasonal flowers not only enhances

the visual appeal of the property but also creates a welcoming atmosphere. A well-maintained landscape can be a distinguishing factor in the real estate market, attracting potential buyers seeking a tranquil retreat in The Hideout's picturesque surroundings.

Servicing HVAC Systems

As temperatures rise, ensuring that heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are in optimal condition becomes crucial. Spring maintenance involves cleaning or replacing air filters, checking ductwork for leaks, and scheduling professional HVAC inspections. A well-functioning HVAC system not only enhances comfort but also demonstrates to potential buyers that the property has been well-cared for, potentially speeding up the sale process. Spring maintenance is not only about refreshing the appearance of homes but also about preserving their value and appeal in the competitive real estate market. By investing time and effort into essential maintenance tasks, homeowners can ensure their properties stand out and attract discerning buyers seeking the perfect haven in The Hideout.
