President’s Message T
is the time of the year for happiness, festivities, mirth, friendship, and a jolly good time for all. Have you noticed the spring in the steps of Employees working at the POA? A relaxed, comfortable employee creates a very healthy work environment. The recipients of that environment are Hideout residents, and you are entitled to such an environment. In my November message I indicated that the Board will be taking a hard look at the POA organizational structure. We have started a reorganization of that structure. The HR Department will no longer report to the General Manager but instead will report directly to the Board. In concert with his background, I appointed Larry Frotten to be Board liaison to the HR Department, and that has produced amazing results. We have reassigned some employees to positions that will allow us to better utilize their talents and abilities for the enhancement of services for the residents and the POA. We will continue to review all positions and possibly elevate some positions. After the first of the year, I will continue to address employee salaries and benefits with more recommendations to the Budget Committee. Donna Kiely and the HR Department will assist in this endeavor. For those residents that may not be aware, on November 16, 2018 the Board gave turkeys and fruit baskets (employee choice) to all full-time and part-time employees who work the entire year. The annual employee Holiday Party will be held on December 19, 2018, 6:00 p.m. at the Main Lodge. Both are an

acknowledgement for all they do for us throughout the year. For all of us who were travelling on Thursday, November 15, when we entered the Hideout property it was as if were on another planet. Robert Brinsfield, our Facilities Manager, and his staff made our roads safe and passable. Kudos to all of them. The problem of the drawdown at Roamingwood Lake was addressed Monday, November 19, 2018. Also, weather permitting, Lakeview East and West will have lines painted on them before Thanksgiving. There are many factors that go into completing the above. When an obstacle is in our way, be it mechanical or budget, we work to resolve the problem. In an effort to simplify and clarify the language of Article X, Section 5 of the Bylaws and to ensure transparency in the Election of Board of Directors, the Board and the Governing Documents Committee recommend the proposed Bylaw changes that you will receive with your dues statement. Please carefully review each proposed change. Have a safe, happy, joyous Holiday Season. PAX VOBISCUM Jerry Restaino

s we approach the final months of 2018, I would like to offer a hearty THANK YOU to the employees of The Hideout, the Committee members and the Board of Directors for their efforts in helping run the community. We continue to operate smoothly, fiscally responsibly, and provide many services to our members and their guests. We continue to live of up to the guidelines of being a “Gold Star Community”. An update of the departmental happenings is here for your review. Administration As of the end of October 31, 2018 3601 Members have paid in full which is 92.32%. The forecast for yearend operations is projected to be a minor surplus as compared to budget. The 2019 Proposed Budget has been reviewed by the Board of Directors and the Budget Committee and starts on Page 53 for your review. Special thanks to our Board of Directors and the Budget Committee Members for their time and attention. Please attend the Community Budget Review meeting at the POA 9AM Saturday December 8, 2018 to ask your questions and provide comments. Staff changes at the POA include two well deserved internal promotions. Lisa Green has been promoted to Editor for the Communications department. Lisa also celebrated her 20 year anniversary as a Hideout employee. In the Registration department, Kathy Kinney has been promoted to Registration Coordinator. We wish them both well and hope for great success in their new careers. Wi-Fi has been installed and upgraded at many of our amenities for your convenience. Installations include the Clubhouse and Main Lodge, Recreation Complex, Nubia Malkin Art Center and Ski Hill facilities. The North Pool and North Beach will go online in 2019. Ski Hill Managers at the Ski Hill are shifting into gear, hiring staff to make snow, work the lifts, rental equipment, sell tickets and staff the lodge snack bar. We are all hoping for Mother Nature to cooperate and bring us the cold temperatures needed for snowmaking and ice freezing so our members can ski, snowboard, tube, and ice skate. Hopes are to open Saturday, December 22 for the School Holiday vacation, and if we are lucky a soft opening Saturday, December 15. A new pole building will be erected the first week in December to replace the warming tent at the base of the hill, coupled with the Ice Rink Pavilion constructed in 2017 should make a fabulous amenity to enjoy winter. Food & Beverage and Recreation They have teamed up to offer a 12 Days of Christmas promotion, 5 have already passed but 13 more remain in December. Pickup your cards at Recreation or the Clubhouse and enjoy the events with your fellow members. Events at the Main Lodge are a Children's Holiday Party 12/15 and Breakfast with Santa 12/16.
Events at the RSC are available the Holiday week including Movie Night, Bingo, and 3-Point Shootout. Events at the Clubhouse include DJ entertainment and a Dart Tournament. The staff of these amenities are enthusiastic and provide many events to entertain. Facilities Maintenance An early snow storm provided a challenge to the Maintenance staff with a foot of snow that was not predicted to be quite so heavy. However, the staff and the equipment were up to the challenge and after long hours of plowing and shoveling, the roads in the Hideout were in excellent condition. Even better than the roads outside the development! The Tiki bar deck major repair is completed and an improved sprinkler system is being installed in the RSC as the list of Capital projects comes to completion. You may review the numerous capital projects handled by the manager and his staff in the financials section of the paper. Lakes & Environmental The drawdown of Roamingwood Lake has begun and over the next 3 to 4 weeks the lake should be at or close to the desired 5 foot drawdown level. Unfortunately, mechanical problems were encountered and a manual override was required to begin a safe drawdown process. This drawdown was also required to allow permanent repairs to be safely performed. Numerous education plans are ongoing for our membership including proper recycling techniques and forest management. Also a few seminars have been held to tackle the difficult issue of feral cats and humane management of this problem. In addition the analysis of our Forest resources is ongoing. Public Safety The Public Safety department is all about training at this time of year. The entire Patrol staff, both fulltime and reserve, have been fully trained on the use of new self defense equipment. The staff was trained and certified in the use of Monadnok Expandable Batons. In addition, a course in “stop the bleed”, an intensive first aid course, is in progress. We are lucky to have two in house officers who are certified to hold the training classes. As always, the staff of Public Safety keeps the community safe and supported 24 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days a year. As always, we strive to improve and your suggestions and comments are welcome. Send them our way through our managers or to the General Manager’s office. Thank you and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Chairman's Message T
who have served their country. There were displays and presentations focused on how these Heroes have protected our Constitution, Flag, and Citizens. The Main Lodge staff provided an exceptional brunch and overall excellent service to our guest Veterans. Great idea for a New Year’s Resolution – join one of the many committees, or a social group, or attend more board meetings, or even a RS&W meeting. Being involved is a step to being informed! Also, read the monthly Hideabout, search the POA website, download the POA App to your phone, and attend board meetings. The more you know, the better The Hideout becomes! The Board of Directors will be working over the winter season planning focused objectives for 2019, establishing organizational reviews, developmental goals, procedural changes, and arranging the 2019 schedule. There is much to be addressed, but I am confident that by working together (Board, Staff, and Members) we will be able to attain significant achievements in 2019. Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah!

he Holiday Season is almost here, and the Hideout Community is more than ready for all the fun, snow, and recreational activities that are planned. Our Maintenance staff is prepared for any storm that may occur; however, please pray for lots of snow over just the Ski Hill area. The 4th annual Tree Lighting is scheduled for December 8, 2018 at 6:00 p.m in Roamingwood Park. We hope that, like last year, we have a large community attendance. Santa will be there courtesy of Lake Ariel Fire Department and special entertainment has been scheduled. Come celebrate with your friends and neighbors! The POA Board of Directors has completed their review of the 2019 Hideout Budget as submitted by the Budget Committee. The booklet was prepared under the direction of Donna Kiely, Finance Manager, and by the various Department Managers, and then analyzed by the Budget Committee. In total, this required over 14 weeks of work to assemble a robust financial document. Hideout Members should review the “draft” Budget (also in this issue). Any questions or concerns will be addressed at the Budget Review Session, December 8, 2018 at 9:00 a.m in the POA office. Veterans Day was commemorated on November 11, 2018 at the Main Lodge. Bob Wiegand and Bill Wagner organized this special program honoring all those

Environmental Corner G reetings Hideout Community! Please be safe while around the lakes this winter, especially as things begin freezing. Community members are reminded that no ice-fishing or ice-skating is permitted here at The Hideout. For safety reasons, please do not attempt to walk out on the ice in any of the lakes. Don’t let the bleakness of winter weather get to you and be sure to enjoy the upcoming snowy season by attending both indoor and outdoor events sponsored by The Hideout. Looking for a snowy weather hobby? Wintertime offers a great opportunity for individuals to bird watch as natural food sources become scarce for our feathered friends. Bird feeders are permitted within the community, but must be a minimum of 8 feet off the ground and cannot be attached to trees. Please ensure that there are no piles of birdseed on the ground as it will draw in non-target species of wildlife. Did you know that an adult white-tailed deer, if hungry enough, can actually stand 6-7 feet tall on its hind legs in search of food? Be sure to avoid becoming a food provider for deer by continuously monitoring your bird feeders and ensuring their proper height off the ground. To avoid citations and fines, please familiarize yourself with our Environmental Control Committee’s established Rules and Regulations. Some of the most commonly encountered issues are Objects Attached to Trees, Unmasked Propane Tanks, White Colored Exterior Doors and Garage Doors, and lacking appropriate permits for work performed outside the home. These are just a few of many the many ECC Rules and Regulations here at The Hideout, so be sure to familiarize yourself with them. The primary purpose of the ECC is to protect the value, desirability, and attractiveness of the Hideout POA as a whole. All members are expected to know the rules and regulations, which can be accessed here: http://www.hideoutassoc. com/ When a permit is approved, our office will contact you either by phone or email. Please come to the Registration Desk at the POA office to pick it up and to log the
permit out. Permits are to be attached to the address post throughout the duration of the approved work, so they are visible from the roadway. When the project is complete, please sign and date the permit and return it to our office so we can close out our files. All ECC Rules and Regulations, as well as permits, are available online at http:// www.hideoutassoc.com/ or they can be accessed by visiting the POA office TuesSat, 8am-4pm. Be sure to “Recycle Right”! We’ll be focusing educational efforts for the community on how to correctly recycle so be sure to keep an eye out for those details and events. When in doubt, give our office or Public Works a call and we will be happy to tell you if its recyclable or not. We are continuing to explore various avenues to address our feral cat problem here at The Hideout. We have hosted 2 educational opportunities so far for the community (In Pursuit of Grace on Oct 5th and C Alley Cats of Lake Wallenpaupack on Nov 13th) regarding this unique problem and hope to solidify an approach for widescale implementation in 2019 . Those events were advertised to the community and if you were unable to attend but would like additional information from them on what they offer, members can contact them directly at inpursuitofgrace@yahoo. com or calley@ptd.net. We appreciate the communities patience while we explore various ways to address this issue and if additional educational opportunities arise throughout this winter regarding feral cats, we will advertise accordingly.

his month I would like to take the opportunity to recognize and congratulate Patrol Officer Kenny Baux on his promotion to Patrol Corporal. Kenny Baux came to the Hideout Public Safety Department back in October of 2012. Before joining the Hideout Public Safety Department, Kenny previously worked for the Public Safety Department at CMC Hospital in Scranton, PA. Kenny is a Certified EMT and a member of the Hideout Emergency Response Team. He is a Certified Instructor in 1st Aid, CPR, & AED. Kenny is also the Departments Certified Instructor for Handcuffing, Pepper Spray, and the Expandable Baton. Over the years Kenny has gone above and beyond to help keep the department moving forward. He is always willing to take on any task asked of or
assigned to him. He has also been very instrumental in training new patrol officers. Kenny always has a positive attitude and is always willing to help out
in any way that he can. He is dedicated to the service of the Hideout membership. I believe this is a most warranted and deserved promotion. Please join me in congratulating and wishing Kenny success in his new position with the Hideout Public Safety Department. Lastly, I would like to wish the Hideout Community a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season!

Regardless, the team is here to open the roads and get members to the gates. Be sure to take the time to thank them for their hard work and dedication. Please ensure that cars, portable basketball hoops, and other personal property is removed from the side of the road. Any items left near the road will risk damage from plows during snow removal.

Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association Master Plan Update
CALL RS&W BEFORE YOU DIG As the sewer and water project nears completion, one important fact to realize, any property owner with an EcoTran basin, must be aware of the presence of an underground wire on your property running from the control box to the grinder pump. If you plan on excavating or performing any renovations that require earth disturbance, like and addition or a deck, a mandatory PA1 call must be made, by your contractor, to locate your wire prior to any earth disturbance. Be advised any damage that occurs to the wire or control box, as the homeowner,
you will be financially responsible for the repair costs. Call: To place a dig or design notification in Pennsylvania, please call 8-1-1 or 1-800-242-1776 (outside PA) or visit www.roamingwood.com/811
As we enter in December 2018, the third and final stage of our Sewer and Water Infrastructure Replacement Project is winding down. All of the pumps are installed and the majority of the work remaining is paving and property restoration. Unfortunately, with the copious amount precipitation that has fallen throughout the duration of Stage 3, restoration has been delayed. During the small windows of dry weather, our contractor is doing their very best to restore as many properties as possible, but a large portion of the restoration will be completed in the Spring of 2019. At this point, any house that does not have a Control Panel or a Retrofit Pump installed is Non-Compliant, meaning an EcoTran pump basin was installed at the street, the wire was run to the nearest corner of the house or to the location of the electric meter and water and sewer services have been shut off. A letter of notification, advising of the Termination of Services for NonCompliance is sent out to all Non-Compliant property owners. To reinstate water and sewer service, the Control Panel must be installed by a licensed electrician at your expense. If you have any questions, please call the Project Management Office at (570) 698-6162 option 2. For more up-to-date construction info, please checkout the monthly distributed Hideabout newspaper and visit our website at www.roamingwood.com.

THERE’S NO TIME FOR PAIN IN YOUR HOLIDAY HUSTLE
Rt. 590 (NEXT TO HAMLIN POST OFFICE)

So often when it comes to pain, many people think they have to ‘live with it’ or that maybe it will go away on it’s own. This is usually not the case! Certain conditions left untreated can often get worse or lead to other issues. Physical therapists are highly educated, licensed health care professionals who can help patients reduce pain and improve or restore mobility. We specialize in evaluating and treating conditions that limit people’s abilities to move and perform dayto-day activities. From neck arthritis, to tension in the neck causing headaches, to back pain with its many causes, or shoulder, arm, leg, or foot pain-whether due to an injury, degenerative cause or overuse, our hands-on treatment can help. As a physical therapist, I also educate each patient on his or her condition to help prevent the pain from reoccurring. Every patient and condition is unique. Our goal is to help our patients reduce or eliminate any pain that may be slowing them down this holiday season. Call your local physical therapist for an evaluation today! Let us help you make your season a little merrier!
Your Health. Your Care. Your CHOICE.
570-689-7786
By: Bernard J. Povanda, PT, COMT ith the hustle and bustle of the holiday season coming upon us, none of us have time for pain! In addition to working, we add some of the holiday extras of cooking, baking, decorating, shopping, and wrapping. Whether it is neck, back, arm, leg, or foot pain, you may be experiencing, physical therapy can help make these tasks much more enjoyable.

The county has sent a formal letter to the membership outlining the details. If you did not receive a letter then contact the county at 570-253-5970, ext. 4050. The membership may show support to our volunteer fire department by purchasing the new 911 placards from the Lake Ariel Fire Department for $18 each.

If purchasing the placards elsewhere, the placards must be in conformance with the national recognized emergency number placards. The placard must be: - Green in color - With 4” high white reflective numbers - Numbers must be vertical - The overall size of the placard for single and double digit numbers is 6” wide by 12” in length - The overall size of the placard for three-digit numbers is 6” wide by 18” in length - The placard must be visible from both sides of the post. Beginning January 1, 2019 any member who has not posted their new 911 emergency number will be issued a fine for failure to comply in the amount of $150. We strongly encourage everyone to ensure they have posted the new 911 emergency number assigned to them by Wayne County not only to avoid a citation but more important for your own safety! The cutoff date for ordering 911 emergency numbers from the Lake Ariel Fire Department will be November 30, 2018 to guarantee installation by January 2019. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

The Christmas toys that we made were delivered to St Thomas More Church and St John’s Episcopal Church. A Toys for Tots box will be place in the kitchen area for Christmas Toys, Bob asked all members to donate a toy for this project. Social: John Gaspari reported that our Christmas luncheon will be held at Bongo’s, on December 6th at 1:00 PM. This year we will have a Sandwich Buffet, which will include:
Lakes Committee Draft Minutes of Meeting - 10/27/18
OLD BUSINESS: A presentation about the lakes was given by I. Rivera at the Chairpersons’ Brunch. Everyone there feels that R. Hill needs an additional assistant. Deerfield Lake Bafflebox: it went out for bid in early October, and all the bids were around $220,000 which is about $100,000 above the Growing Greener Grant of $123,910 which we will receive. Part of the difference is due to the need to pay the Prevailing Wage. We have until the end of 2020 to use the grant. A motion was made to send a CMR to the Board asking for $125,000 to do the job as we feel the bafflebox will have a big impact on Deerfield and Roamingwood. The motion was made by J. Silverman, seconded by K. Fairfield and approved by all (5-0-0). Ridgeview Stormwater Project: We did not receive the PALMS mini-grant for this project. This would have added to the Ridgeview project to improve culverts and decrease flooding. Roamingwood Gate Valve: On October 24th some cleaning and repair work was done with a diving crew. Stems and pedestal plate need to be replaced before a drawdown can take place, and the weather has not been cooperative . R. Hill is hoping that the repairs can be made soon. We also need approval from the Fish and Boat Commission for the drawdown. Sediment Concerns: Bathymetric surveys were done by Princeton Hydro in mid-October. A fancy fish finder is able to
Tract 29: On October 9th and 10th the tract was sprayed for weeds. On Brooks embankment dam some invasive plants were observed and will be removed .
Brooks Dam: A sharp crack needs a small repair . A coffer dam will be used during the repair. R. Hill will reach out to Ciccone Excavating in 2019. Aeration Systems: They will be shut down on October 29. Carp Barrier: It was decided that a stainless steel carp barrier will be the best choice for the renovation as it should be an investment for the long term instead of constant repairs. NEW BUSINESS: K. Fairfield stated that there had been many red-winged blackbirds around Brooks Lake but they seem to be fewer in numbers since there are now so many gaps in the grass along the embankment. R. Hill got the Wayne Conservation District involved after that large tree was removed from the house next to the parking lot and pulled out through the wat er. They feel that it looks worse than it is. J. Mcloone suggested putting washing stands at the marina for boats which have been in other bodies of water. The next meeting will be on December 1st. The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 with a motion by J. Mcloone, a second by J. Silverman and approval by all (5-0-0). Respectfully submitted, Judy Restaino

Old Business: None New Business: John Gaspari reported that he received an application and check from a previous vendor for the Craft Fair next year. He also commented that it might be a good idea for the woodworkers to build something to be raffled off at the Craft Fair. A general discussion took place and it was decided that the members would think about what to build and discuss it at our next meeting. It was also suggested that we place a sign near the pool to direct people to the Craft Fair being held in the Lodge! Bob Addeig Stated that Article 6 section 2 of our By-Laws states; “the nominating committee is to present a slate of officers at this meeting”; in addition, Article 6 section 3 allows for additional nominations to be made from the floor. He asked the nominating committee, if there were any additional nominations other than the slate you would like to present to the members? Ken Wenz reported there were none. He asked the committee to present the slate of officers to the members for a vote. The committee recommend that we re-elect our current board. A motion was made and seconded to re-elect the current board. The Secretary cast one vote to elect the current board; their terms will commence on January 1st 2019. They’re being no further business; a motion to adjourn was made and seconded. Meeting Adjourned

DECEMBER 2018 • 21
Article X, Section 5, Election of Directors Proposed Bylaw Amendment ATTENTION MEMBERS In an effort to simplify and clarify the language of Bylaws Article X, Section 5, while ensuring continued transparency in the Election process, the following changes are recommended by the P.O.A. Board of Directors and the Governing Documents Committee for the benefit of the membership: CURRENT PROVISION: a) Election of Directors shall be by written ballot as hereinafter provided. In all elections of directors, each member entitled to vote shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of votes which he is entitled to cast on any matter other than election of directors multiplied by the number of directors to be elected and he may distribute such votes among the number of directors to be voted for, but he may not cast more than one (1) vote for a single director. A member is not required to cast all of the votes allocated to him for his ballot to be valid. The person or persons receiving the largest number of votes shall be elected to the vacant position or positions. (As amended December 1996) PROPOSED REVISION: a) Election of Directors shall be by written ballot as hereinafter provided. In all such elections, each member in good standing is entitled to one (1) vote per Lot multiplied by the number of Directors to be elected. Only one vote per Director per ballot is allowed. There is no requirement that all votes to which a member is entitled be cast; however, any ballot with more than one vote per Director or more votes than the number of open positions will be disqualified. The person(s) receiving the most votes will be elected to the vacant position(s). REASONING: Simplifies the language explaining how many votes a member may cast. CURRENT PROVISION: b) The Nominating Committee shall consist of five (5) members; two (2) members in good standing elected by the membership at the Annual Meeting, two (2) chosen from the membership of the Board of Directors and one (1) member in good standing appointed from the membership by the President of the Association and this member shall not be a current member of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors and the President shall make their appointments within sixty (60) days of the Annual Meeting. The Nominating Committee shall select its Chairman. PROPOSED PROVISION: b) The Nominating Committee shall consist of five (5) members: i. Three (3) members in good standing elected by the membership at the Annual Meeting. In the event that all three (3) positions are not thereby filled, the remaining positions shall be appointed by majority vote of the Board of Directors for member(s) in good standing who are not currently serving on the Board. Such appointment(s) shall be made within sixty
(60) days of the Annual Meeting. ii. Two (2) members, currently serving as Directors, shall be appointed by the Board. One or both of these shall have at least one (1) year’s experience as a Director. The Board shall make these appointments within sixty (60) days of the Annual Meeting. iii. The Nominating Committee shall, by majority vote, select one of the elected members as its Chair no later than the adjournment of the Committee’s first meeting each year. Said Chair shall not be a Director. By March 15th of each year, the Nominating Committee shall submit to the Board of Directors, for its approval, the Election/Campaign Rules and Guidelines. REASONING: b), i Composition of the Nominating Committee is changed to allow for three Committee members to be elected from the floor at the Annual Meeting. This gives the membership, rather than the Board, control of the Committee. Should the community be unable to elect all three Committee members, the entire Board, rather than just the President, may fill the remaining vacancies; b), ii Provides for a at least one experienced Board member on the Nominating Committee rather than two of the most newly elected Directors; b), iii Reflects the current process of Board approval of the Campaign and Election Rules and Guidelines, and limits Board influence on the Nominating Committee. CURRENT PROVISION: c) Candidates for election to the Board of Directors shall be nominated: i) By the Nominating Committee and/or (Amended March 31, 2004) ii) By petition signed by fifty (50) voting members and delivered to the Secretary of the Association between the first and fifteenth of July each year. PROPOSED PROVISION: c) Candidates for election to the Board of Directors shall be nominated by: i. The Nominating Committee and/or ii. Petition, as hereinafter provided. REASONING: c), d), e), f), and g) Arrange and clarify all deadlines, and ensure continued fairness in the Nomination and Petition procedures; also ensures candidates have ample time to submit their letters for publication in the July edition of the Association newspaper. CURRENT PROVISION: d) Commencing with year 1981 between the first and fifteenth day of July of each year, the Nominating Committee shall nominate for election at least two (2) more candidates than are necessary to fill the prospective vacancies on the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee may include the names of candidates nominated by petition to fill this quota if they choose to give them their endorsement. PROPOSED PROVISION: d) By April 15th of each year, any member in good standing seeking nomination by the Nominating Committee shall, via
the POA Registration Desk or the POA Executive Assistant, file with the Secretary of the Association a personal statement of candidacy for election as a Director for the term beginning immediately upon the adjournment of the next Annual Meeting. All candidates seeking such nomination must sign the Affidavit approved by the Board of Directors on November 19, 2017 and shall abide by the stipulations therein.

The Secretary shall certify the validity of all signatures. Should a candidate’s petition be determined to have an insufficient number of valid signatures, that candidate’s name shall not be placed on the ballot. All candidates by petition must sign the Affidavit approved by the Board of Directors on November 19, 2017 and shall abide by the stipulations therein. Candidates by petition shall be accorded the same privileges as those nominated by the Nominating Committee. REASONING: c), d), e), f), and g) Arrange and clarify all deadlines, and ensure continued fairness in the Nomination and Petition procedures; also ensures candidates have ample time to submit their letters for publication in the July edition of the Association newspaper. CURRENT PROVISION: f) By April 15 of each year, any member in good standing seeking a nomination by the Nominating Committee shall file with the Secretary of the Association a personal statement of candidacy for election as a Director for the term beginning after the first annual meeting held after the filing of such statement, together with a brief biographical statement. By May 15 of each year any member in good standing who desires to seek election to the Board of Directors may submit to the Nominating Committee a campaign letter that they wish to have published in the July and August issue of the P.O.A. newsletter (The Hideabout).

The ballots shall be prepared and mailed by the Secretary to each member entitled to vote, simultaneously with the mailing of the notice of the Annual Meeting of the Association. The mailing of the ballots and Annual Meeting notice shall occur not less than 31 days prior to the Annual Meeting. Any member in good standing may file with the Secretary of the Association an endorsement of personal candidacy signed by not less than fifty (50) voting members (one per lot) in good standing. All endorsements or petitions must be filed with the Secretary no later than July 15 of the year immediately preceding the next Annual Meeting of the membership.

The Hideout Holiday Craft Fair - November 24, 2018
A
s the day started with overcast and gloomy skies, the buzz surrounding the 2018 Holiday Craft fair could not be held back. As local vendors and crafters gathered and set up their displays in the Main Lodge, the essence of the holiday season was truly in the air. As I walked through the displays, I was so impressed with all the local talent and amazing items that were put up for sale at this amazing event. It made me truly proud to be part of such an amazing community and team. The doors opened, to the community, at 9:00 a.m. and it seemed that they didn’t close until the end of this event. With over 500 people coming through, it made for an amazing event and turnout. The buzz continued throughout the day as smiles filled the room. As I took my walk through to make sure everything was going smoothly, I couldn’t help but over hear numerous vendors talking about how nice and amazing the people in our community are.
Specializing in Ductless A/C & Central A/C
Some vendors went as far as saying this was the best craft fair they have ever attended. What an amazing event, a big thanks goes to Louise Carolan who really led the charge in getting all the vendors signed up and organized this event. A huge thank you, goes to the Food and Beverage Department for the amazing lunch menu and assisting us in setting up. Another thank you goes to the Maintenance Department for helping with all the tables that needed to be brought to the Main Lodge. It’s so great to see different departments working together to put on a great event for our community. The last thank you goes to the amazingly talented vendors and amazing people of our community.

Pickleball Benefits Older Adults
DECEMBER 2018 • 31
By Deborah L. Vence,
P
ickleball, a game that combines badminton, tennis and table tennis, provides a number of health benefits—in the form of cardiovascular and metabolic responses for older adults. This is according to new research by the American Council on Exercise (ACE), which showed that pickleball enables older adults to maintain their fitness levels, leading to increased independence even as they age. Having originated in the 1960s, pickleball uses solid paddles to hit a ball over a net and can be played in either singles or doubles. The solid paddles are made of wood or composite materials and are used to hit a perforated polymer ball over a net. The game is simple enough for beginners to older adults, but also can be fast-paced for those who are more skilled. The key to exercise is finding a safe and effective workout that brings long-term benefits and lifelong participation. So, for the study, ACE enlisted the help of Lance Dalleck, Ph.D., and his team of researchers in the High Altitude Exercise Physiology Program at Western State Colorado University. The purpose of the study was to “quantify the acute cardiovascular and metabolic responses to pickleball, and to determine the effectiveness of a six-week pickleball intervention at positively modifying cardiometabolic risk factors.” The research involved recruiting 15 middle-aged to older men and women (40 to 85 years of age). To quantify the acute cardiovascular and metabolic responses to pickleball, participants wore a portable calorimetric measurement system and a heartrate monitor. The participants played four 15-minute matches (60 minutes of physical activity) three days each week. Prior to the start of the study, all participants performed a graded exercise test on a treadmill to determine maximal heart rate (MHR) and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max). The following measurements were recorded at baseline: resting heart rate, body composition, fasting blood lipids, fasting blood glucose, waist circumference and weight. Those same measurements were obtained again after the six-week program in order to determine the effectiveness of pickleball at positively modifying cardiometabolic risk factors. For example, the chronic cardiovascular and metabolic responses to pickleball showed that after six weeks, “participants saw favorable changes in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and VO2max. Together, these equate to a positive effect on cardiometabolic health.” Overall, the study’s primary finding is that regular participation in pickleball elicits cardiovascular and metabolic responses that meet exercise intensity guidelines for improving and maintaining cardiorespiratory fitness—with the average caloric expenditure equaling about 350 calories per 60 minutes of participation. Collectively, the findings support pickleball as an ideal form of physical activity for middle-aged and
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.

A golf tip from Larry Lutz, Hideout Golf Teaching Pro
T
here are many facets to improving a golf game and just going to the range and hitting a bucket of balls with your driver or 5-iron isn’t going to necessarily make you a better golfer. Here’s a suggestion to try: First, start with your wedge, using a smooth, slow swing. Work your way up to longer clubs until you get to the driver. Do not fall in love with one club, hit each club about 5 times. Next, spend 15 minutes simulating shots on the course by changing clubs every two swings and changing your target to match the club you are swinging. Don’t just hit at the same spot all the time. I hope you find this tip helpful, but most of all, remember your good shots, learn from the bad shots, and have fun. Have a great holiday season!

Give holiday meals a flavorful twist The holiday season is rife with tradition. Family and friends often gather together around the dining room table to share conversation, memories and good food, making the holidays a special time of year. Home chefs looking to expand their culinary horizons can include this recipe for “Slow Cooker Spiced-Cranberry Pork,” courtesy of The Ohio Pork Council, on their holiday menus. Pork is a versatile protein that pairs well with the tart, holiday-centric flavor of cranberries.
Slow Cooker Spiced-Cranberry Pork Serves 8
3 1/2 to 4 pound pork shoulder 1 6-oz can jellied cranberry sauce 2/3 cup sugar 3/4 cup cranberry juice 2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves 1 teaspoon ground black pepper Salt to taste Trim fat from pork roast, if necessary. Place roast in 4 to 6 quart slow cooker. Use wire whisk to stir together cranberry sauce and sugar in medium bowl. Stir in juice, mustard, cloves and pepper until well combined. Pour cranberry mixture over roast in slow cooker. Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until pork roast is tender. Season roast to taste with salt; serve juices with roast.

The Hideout Children’s Halloween Party - October 27, 2018
It did not take long for the Indoor Sports Complex to fill up with monsters, ghouls, and Fortnite characters. The Recreation Department hosted The Hideout Annual Children’s Halloween Party, co-sponsored by Re/Max Best. Fun, costumes, snacks, games, and prizes filled the Indoor Sports Complex. It was so great to see all the smiles on community members faces as they enjoyed this event. The costume contest is a traditional hit, as always. The parade and all the costumes didn’t disappoint. As the judges from Re/Max Best gathered, they knew they had a tough task ahead of them. We had a little Charlie Brown, a very scary IT, the cutest Elf on the Shelf, and so many other creative and amazing costumes. It was so awesome to see such great participation from our Hideout community members. The pride in our community is at an all-time high. A special thank you to Heather Meagher and the rest of the Re/Max Best Family, for their generosity in continuing to co-sponsor The Hideout Children’s Halloween Party. I would also like to thank the Recreation Department Staff for helping put on such an awesome event. The community members were the stars of the show and it was so awesome to see families participate in this event. What a great turnout and we truly appreciate everybody that came out.

CELEBRATING OUR VETERANS O
n November 11th at 11a.m. was The Hideout Annual Tribute to honor our Veterans in the Hideout and others all over the country. We honor all members by decorating the Main Lodge with the uniforms they wore, the Military flags of the branches they served, medals, pins, and awards received. We invited 2 bus loads of Veterans from the Wilkes Barre Veterans Hospital, welcoming them with applause as they were wheeled into our Main Lodge dining room. The Wayne County Fife and Drum Corps played in the background. Realizing that these Vets spend most of their time together, we left one space at every table for a wheel chair, so our visiting Vet could enjoy conversations with our Hideout members. This has been met with tremendous success every year, as new friends are introduced to our members. This year we had the Boy Scouts and Wayne County Girls group attend and assist with our program and our guests. Marilyn Watson sang God Bless
America and had a special guest, Ms. Jamie Newman, sign the words as everyone sang along. A blessing was given by Ed Sparkowski. Our co-chairmen Bob Wiegand and Bill Wagner spoke of the importance of this day and our honored guests. State Representative Johnathon Fritz and the Wayne County Commissioners (Wendal Kay, Joe Adams, and Brian Smith) also spoke about how much they enjoy coming to The Hideout on this day every year. They thanked all the veterans and reminded us of the importance of our military. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts then wheeled our Veterans up to assist them as they fixed their dishes at the buffet luncheon. After enjoying their lunch, a blessing was offered by Mr. Ed Sparkowski. This is such a special day we celebrate every year for our resident Veterans and for our visiting guests. They thanked all involved and said what a wonderful tribute it was and again, we thanked them for their service.

Student Recognition High School Principal Paul Gregorski introduced two outstanding seniors Allison Mattern, and Vaeda Pontosky. Mrs. Fiorella congratulated them on behalf of the Board of Education, two very impressive young women. Recognition of Public Dana DeSiato asked about the Barracuda System she proposed to the School Board. Dr. Barrett found out that system would violate building/fire code and is not something we can use. He is working on some alternative solutions, but right now we have added an additional SPO each day and we are going through a self-audit in regards to safety. Amanda Johnson asked about a date for the Veterans Day Program. Dr. Barrett stated the date has not been set yet. Steve Bronson asked if we have biographies on Board Members and Administration on our website. Dr. Barrett said at this time we only have names and photos on our website. Mr. Bronson also asked if we track career paths on our students or what majors they choose. Dr. Barrett said yes and no, we track were they go when they leave here, but our Guidance Department is working on a new 339 Plan that will track this information in the future. Brenda Lanza stated she was on her lunch break from her duties as a custodian and was at the meeting as a tax payer, not employee. She asked why we have had so many hiring’s lately of administrators with high salaries and high benefit packages - where did we find the money for these positions? As a taxpayer, she is asking if we evaluate the needs and if the positions are necessary. Nothing she says is personal, but she had an issue last week and it was not resolved. Dr. Barrett stopped her at this point and said we do not talk about personnel issues at a public meeting. She needs to follow the chain of command as an employee. She wants to know how we decide who gets how much, etc… Dr. Barrett talked about each position being scrutinized as to needs before we move forward with any hiring along with cutting positions when needed as well. Steve Bronson asked if our employees have a certain chain of command to follow if they have a dispute. Dr. Barrett confirmed that we do and our employees are aware of the administrative hierarchy for any issues. Mr. 7072 Hoch also stated that the Board of Education approved our Organizational chart last month, which lists the

TREES What To Do If A Tree Is About To Fall From One Lot To Another? Even though the Hideout has an easement between properties, this matter is strictly between the parties involved. This includes limbs, branches and trees. If you have this situation, notify the property owner whose property presents the hazard. The Hideout does not provide information relative to the Membership. You should call the Wayne County Tax Assessment Office at (570) 2535970 or the internet at taxassessment officewaynecountypennsylvania.com. You should also contact your insurance company. Another resource is the internet for the purpose of researching Pennsylvania Real Estate Law on the subject. Again, this is a civil matter between the parties involved and cannot be resolved by the Hideout. Note: In the event that the tree is on Hideout Common Property, the Environmental Manager should be notified so that the appropriate action can be taken to remove the hazard.

PROPANE TANKS Safety Guidelines For Propane Tanks: Homeowners who decide to install a propane tank on their property need to be aware of the guidelines for such. A Propane Permit is needed. The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) has established a set of rules that govern
the requirements for the clearance around propane tanks in the NFPA 58 Liquified Petroleum Gas Code. Size of the clearance radius will depend on type of installation and the size of the tank. Vertical Tanks – The requirements for the clearance around vertical propane tanks under 125 gallons depends on the location of ignition sources, venting windows and doors. The tank itself may be placed against the house or building, but it has to be at least ten (10) feet from an ignition source such as a water heater and three (3) feet from a venting window or door. Horizontal Tanks – Horizontal tanks, also referred to as vessels, come in three main sizes: 330, 550 and 1,000 gallons. The size of the vessel normally depends on the propane requirements and the size of the structure using the fuel. The requirements for the clearance around the 330 and the 550 gallon propane tanks are at least ten (10) feet from the structure. Ten (10) feet from the property line and ten (10) feet from any ignition source. The 1,000 gallon propane tank requires at least twenty five (25) feet of clearance from the structure, the property line and any ignition sources. Also, be aware that according to our Protective Covenants and ECC Manual, every fuel storage tank on any lot shall be either buried below ground or screened to the satisfaction of the Committee.

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

GOOD NEIGHBORS CLUB 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.

Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association RS&W Requests E-mail and Cell Phone Numbers
We are improving how we stay in contact with our valued customers. In the near future, we wish to provide the following features: •Service & Billing Alerts •Upcoming Events •Subscribe to our Electronic Newsletter
Water & Sewer Service Lateral Lifespan & Responsibility Many of the homes in the Hideout are approaching the 2030-year-old mark. Likely, so are their Water & Sewer laterals that run from the house to the service connection. This is the average lifespan of a water service line. Sewer lines, generally being made of rigid plastic piping, tend to withstand a heartier lifespan, but are not immune to earth’s ever shifting surface.
several letters have been sent to homeowners in Stages 1, 2 & 3 advising them of broken, blocked or otherwise concerning issues found during this process. We expect there to be more to come, as we are receiving the final reports for Stage 3, from the contractor. PaDEP is requiring that all infiltration issues be repaired, as part of the overall Corrective Action Plan as it affects the overall efficiency and environmental impact of our system. Homeowner’s who are notified of an immediate need must respond accordingly and have the lateral repaired. Fines and Fees will be assessed to any noncompliant permits issued in these instances. Most sewer lateral repairs are “spot fixes” and can generally be completed quickly and cost effectively.
Per RS&W Rules & Regulations, the service lines are the responsibility of the homeowner to maintain and repair. With the increasing number of houses in the abovementioned age range, we are seeing a steady rate of water service line leaks. This often takes a homeowner by surprise, not only emotionally, but financially as well. A repair / replacement usually consists of hiring an excavator to dig the line and lay a new one. It can become an expensive project. There are not many options available, other than putting aside funds for such emergencies or looking into a Service Lateral Insurance policy. RS&W encourages members to research their options and contact their own Homeowners Insurance Companies to educate yourself.
RS&W is aware that a repair like this can come as an unexpected shock. We will do our best to work with homeowners, regarding time, in getting these repairs completed. However, please understand, a water lateral repair can affect our water loss significantly and will generally have to be addressed more quickly, should we not be able to leave service off until the repair is completed.
Unfortunately, most broken sewer laterals can go undetected for a long period of time. As the RS&W infrastructure replacement project heads into the completion of its 3rd and final stage, our crews have been, as a requirement mandated by the PaDEP, scoping the sewer service laterals of every gravity line home in the community. To date,
If you have questions regarding any of the information provided, please feel free to contact RS&W and we will gladly assist you. We thank you and we look forward to your anticipated cooperation, as we head toward a new era in our community with a healthy water/sewer infrastructure and environment to enjoy for years to come.
IMPORTANT IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED ANY OF THE FOLLOWING: Sewer Service Lateral Repair Letter Service Line Leak Repair Letter PLEASE CONTACT ROAMINGWOOD SEWER & WATER FOR ASSISTANCE IN RESOLVING THESE ISSUESAS SOON AS POSSIBLE

The Hideout is on Facebook Come LIKE Us! Be green, save green with appliance recycling If that old refrigerator of yours is past its prime and struggling to chill your beer and bratwurst, here are some cold facts. PPL will take away that energy-hogging relic at no charge and send you a check for $35 to boot. You’ll also be helping the environment because the various parts of that icebox — including the metal, glass, oil and insulation — get recovered and put to beneficial uses in the manufacture of other products like motorcycle parts, computers, cement products, and fan motors, just to name a few. Plus, the appliance doesn’t end up in a landfill. The EPA estimates there are more than 60 million refrigerators at least a decade old that are plugged in across the U.S. And those fridges are costing their owners extra money to operate. The EPA reports an older refrigerator can use twice the power of a new ENERGY STAR® model.
We know there are old appliances out there, some of them really old. In a contest we ran in 2012, a customer in Lancaster County recycled a vintage 1937 General Electric refrigerator. We started our appliance recycling program in late 2009 and since then, customers have recycled nearly 80,000 refrigerators. Add to that close to 20,000 freezers and nearly 11,000 room air conditioners and you’re on an earth-loving, greenhouse gas-reducing roll. Nearly 13,000 appliances were recycled in 2017. The program continues and you’re invited to join the tens of thousands of customers who have already recycled their old appliances. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the program requirements. For instance, refrigerators and freezers must be in working order and between 10 and 30 cubic feet in size. Information can be found at pplelectric.com/recycle.

Marie Krauss Treasurer
I urge you to review the purposed budget and come to the December 8, 2018 meeting with your questions.
The total assessment increase is $50 over 2018 or 2.9%.
We are still awaiting studies on the gypsy moth and wildlife management. The proposed budget was done assuming that both of these items would have to be done in some degree.
The Capital Budget is concentrating on maintaining and upgrading current assets. This includes replacement of vehicles, upgrading the technology, and security systems. $875,000 of the budget is to maintain the roads, stormwater and lake management projects. Work on the Lodge will be done in an orderly progression over the next five to ten years. This year the fire suppression system, window replacement and ADA compliant ramp to the beach will be addressed. The Ski Hill will have some water lines replaced and the addition of a Magic Carpet at the beginner lift.
The Operating Budget is flat except for wages, general insurance and Workman’s compensation insurance. This accounts for the increase of $250,000 which is 3.7% over 2018.
The goal of the Board of Directors in preparing the 2019 budget was to maintain our current assets, make additions to the current infrastructure, and to provide the highest level of service to the property owners. This was done knowing that the dues needed to be kept at the lowest possible level.
The Board of Directors wants to express their appreciation to the Hideout Management Team and the members of the Budget Committee for their hard work in putting together this budget. The work is both time consuming and difficult, it requires making carefully considered assumptions based on projections and best estimates. The committee’s recommendations were most useful to the board in preparing this proposed budget.
Additionally, a meeting on the proposed budget has been scheduled for 9:00 A.M. Saturday, December 8, 2018 at the POA Administration building. All members are encouraged to attend.
The Board welcomes member comments and questions about the budget. Please forward your comments, concerns or ideas in writing to the finical manager’s office in the POA administration building or via e-mail to dkiely@thehideout.us
The Board of Directors of the Association of Property Owners of the Hideout, Inc. is pleased to present the 2019 proposed budget. As required by the Property Owners Association (POA) bylaws, the budget is now being placed before the members for 30 days of review.

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
HELP IMPROVE YOUR COMMUNITY BY SERVING ON A COMMITTEE THE FOOD & BEVERAGE, COMMUNICATION, AND GOVERNING DOCUMENTS COMMITTEES are looking for new members. If interested, please fill out an application at the POA.
Hideout POA Bulletin Board Policy
1. Must be a member in good standing to post on the Bulletin Boards. 2. All postings will be handled through Recreation. 3. Postings will be on the designated section only of Bulletin Boards by the Main & North Mailboxes. 4. Members can only post personal property for sale. (no services or real estate). 5. All postings will be on 3x5 index cards - available at Recreation. 6. Maximum of two (2) index cards per lot. 7. Posts will ONLY be put up on the 1st of each month & removed at the end of the month. 8. No postings will be taken over the phone-must be in person. 9. No fees, at this time, will be charged for mposting.
PLEASE DO NOT HANG ANY POSTERS ON ANY OF THE BIRDFEEDERS OR OUTSIDE OF THE MAILBOXES. THEY WILL BE REMOVED.
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.

Did you know? Credit scores are important factors when lenders determine if individuals applying for credit or loans are worthy borrowers. Credit is used when purchasing a new home, buying a car, opening a business, or applying for new credit cards. A credit score is a three-digit number that corresponds to a certain range. The standards were established by FICO¨, and the higher the score, the better (scores start at 300 and move upward to 850). Various things can impact credit score, and some weigh more heavily toward the final score than others. The following are the factors that influence credit score in order of their importance, according to Wells Fargo bank. • Payment history (making payments on time) • Current debts (carrying high balances) • Credit history • New credit application inquiries • Types of current credit (mixed forms of loans, credit cards, etc.)

Where people spend most W ho hasn’t tallied up monthly bills or looked at a credit card statement and pondered if they’re spending a little too much? The average person also may wonder how their expenditures compare to other people around the country and what they need to do to enjoy financial freedom in retirement. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American household spends just about $57,000 each year between necessities and luxuries. Canadians are spending even more than their neighbors to the south. Statistics Canada indicates that, in 2016, the average annual expenditure on goods and services per household totaled $62,183. So how are people allocating their funds? The results may surprise you and indicate where it’s possible to trim some fat and save big bucks. Across North America, housing is the largest line item in people’s budgets. Various sources suggest that housing and shelter needs account for anywhere from 30 to 40 percent of most household budgets. By making housing decisions based on areas with the most efficient cost of living, individuals can save considerably over the long run.
The second largest expenditure category is transportation. This accounts for the cost to finance or lease a vehicle and insure it, and it also includes urban dwellers who rely on public transportation or ride-share services to get around. Keeping transportation budgets in check can be great a way to save. Food is the next largest expense. While everyone needs sustenance to stay alive, how that money is allocated can make a big difference in saving versus spending. The BLS says that food at home costs around $4,000 annually, while spending on dining out amounts to around $3,100, for a grand total of $7,100 each year. Statistics Canada notes that Canadian households spent an average of $8,784 in 2016 on food and that 26 percent of that spending was on dining out. Cutting back on dining out can be a great way to save money, as can becoming a more sale-conscious grocery shopper. Healthcare, utilities, and entertainment are the next most costly expenditures, respectively. But each of those items are considerably less expensive than the top three. Therefore, making changes to where one lives, how one gets around, and how one eats can certainly add up to considerable savings.
