Board President’s Message

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. Now let’s look forward to the upcoming holiday season.

I have been working on getting better cellular service for The Hideout for nearly three years. We are under contract with Liberty Tower of New York, and they are responsible for marketing the proposed tower to all major cellular providers. I am in contact with Liberty Tower on a regular basis. It appears that with the recent downswing in the economy, all cellular providers are not moving on any new projects for the remainder of this year. I am hopeful that the cellular providers will move forward with new projects in 2023.

I was pleasantly surprised when our Financial Manager, Deborah Tremantano, informed the Board of Directors that the 2022 dues collection was at 99%. The highest it’s been in years. Therefore we have ample funds to carry us into the

new year. Hats off to the staff for their success.

Our Maintenance Department is well prepared for the winter season ahead. All the equipment has been serviced and prepped for whatever Mother Nature sends our way.

The Ski Hill has passed all state inspections, thanks to the hard work of the Ski Hill crew. We hope that cold clear weather comes our way and the snow guns can do their thing. Remember, skiing and snow tubing are great family winter activities.

As always, I ask our members to be kind to our employees while performing their jobs. Please be kind to each other; a little kindness goes a long way.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah ■

FROM DEBRA TRAMANTANO, FINANCIAL MANAGER

Financial Corner

The year 2022 is almost over and what a roller-coaster year it has been! As I close our books for October, our amenities have performed well, bringing in $580,000 more in income than budgeted for. However, this is offset by amenity expenses exceeding our budget by $730,000. We faced an unprecedented challenge with expenses this year thanks to the lingering effects of supply and demand issues resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic raising supply prices dramatically. We saw the need to increase salary rates to enable us to hire and retain staff. And we are still dealing with persistently high inflation rates. Despite these challenges, 2022 has

seen us reaching a 99.5% collection rate for dues assessments.

And, in addition, substantial success on collection of delinquent dues. With two more months to go before we close our books for the year, I am hoping to see that increase even more.

Billing for the 2023 annual dues assessment will be going out the first week in January with a due date of March 31st. Please plan accordingly. Enjoy the upcoming holiday season! ■

FROM LARRY FROTTEN Community Manager’s Message

Dear

Members and Staff,

We hope all of you were able to spend valuable time with family and friends over the Thanksgiving holiday. We now approach the December holiday season. This is a time we should open our hearts and understand the value of giving whether it be time or items of value. Many do not enjoy the blessings we may all have and the act of giving is one that will reap rewards for a long time. The value of the gift should not be measured by the giver, but by the value it offers to the receiver. We hope if you are one in need, you will be blessed. The Hideout has members who are generous and these members ask us to advise who we are aware of that may require assistance at this time of year. We ask members if they have knowledge of someone in need to call the Community Manager office at extension 109.

This is an exciting time of year for The Hideout as we go about preparing our amenities. On Saturday, December 3 we will have our Christmas Tree lighting at Roamingwood Park. The event takes place at 6 PM and is always an enjoyable time. Please look for more information on this event from our Recreation Department. We are looking forward to hopefully an early opening to our Ski Hill. We have updated some electrical components and added to our snowmaking abilities. This year we are blessed with returning staff and some new experienced staff. We ask all to

monitor our email blasts and various advertising so all can enjoy the many amenities The Hideout offers.

We have recently seen an earlierthan-normal temperature variance on the cooler side. We have also seen our first snowfall of the season. All indicators we may have a colder-thannormal winter. We ask all to follow the directives of our experienced staff as they go about preparing our community, safely. Members and guests should understand the maintenance of our roadways and facilities is a demanding year-round task, however much more demanding during the inclement weather season. Depending on the conditions, our staff can be working long hours and we are limited in the staffing we have that can be dedicated to this task. Our Public Safety will also be facing similar challenges and again we ask for patience and understanding when responses may be affected.

Our wish is for all of you to enjoy your holidays this season. May you find the time to relax during these times. This time of year can be challenging but hugely rewarding. May you overcome the challenges and thoroughly enjoy this holiday season.

Happy holidays and Merry Christmas ■

FRIENDLY REMINDER

Guests of members, 7 years of age and older, must possess and display a current amenity badge at all times when using any of the amenities. Thank you!

FROM TAMMI MCCABE, FOOD & BEVERAGE MANAGER

Food & Beverage Corner

The

holiday season is upon us, and this is my favorite time of year. The colder weather, and it’s starting to snow, how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place. I would like to say thank you to Yvanna, one of the Clubhouse chefs. Not only does she make amazing food, but she also did all the beautiful decorating here at the Clubhouse for Halloween and the fall season. Just wait and see what we have planned for our holiday decorating at the Clubhouse and the Main Lodge!

We had our Halloween party on October 29th, with entertainment by DJ Billy. We had a full house with some great costumes. Thank you to my staff for doing a great job, from the food service to the bartender’s it was a great night had by all.

On November 12th, we had our Magic show, which was a great success. Everyone had a great time. As the holidays approach, our Food & Beverage

Staff will be busy preparing for our many holiday parties and, as always, providing our members with excellent service and food. Our next big event is New Year’s Eve, and we have lots of fun stuff planned with Delicious Menu’s put together by our chefs. Call and make a reservation for the Clubhouse or Main Lodge.

Our Executive chef Brett and Chef Todd are working on a menu for the Clubhouse, so keep an eye out for that. Join us for football and our food and drink specials every Sunday. Thanks to Maintenance for lighting up our walkway to the Clubhouse with the installation of our awesome new lamp posts. Lots of great stuff is happening here at Food & Beverage, so come stop for some great food, drinks, and fun. ■

Wednesday, November 16th, craft class at the Nubia Malkin Art Center. A great group of ladies making holiday crafts. Join us Wednesdays from 11 am to 1 pm.

FROM

Pro Shop Corner

The Pro Shop and Golf Course are now closed for the season. It was a great year and on behalf of the Pro Shop Staff and the Rangers I would like to thank all members and their guests for your continued support of our amenity. There were almost 11,500 rounds of golf played in 2022. Mike Kline and his staff did a magnificent job keeping the course in great shape.

The Men and Women Leagues had a great turnout and we look forward to an even better attendance in 2023. John Martino’s HASG Thursday League exceeded all expectations and he assures me even a bigger turnout next year.

Tournaments continue to be a popular community event. There are only 7 tournaments during the entire season that close the course on a Saturday morning, none of them on a holiday weekend. ALL members and their guests can play and in addition to the golf there is always food and prizes. The schedule is posted at the beginning of the season and you can sign up 30 days in advance.

Not only did members and their guest have fun playing in the tournaments, funds were also raised benefiting multiple local community organizations.

After a 2 year hiatus due to covid we brought back the Youth Golf Camp. We had a great group of junior golfers who not only learned a lot from our teaching

pro Larry Lutz but also had a lot of fun using the golf simulator when the weather conditions made outdoor play a bit dicey.

Next spring there will be a slight increase in golf rates and golf pass purchases. The exact amounts are still being ironed out. Golf rates have not risen in over 12 years. Due to the inflationary nature of our economy and increases in wages we find it necessary to make these changes.

Our annual Christmas / Holiday sale will be held on Saturday, December 10th from 11am to 1pm. All in stock items will be on sale. You receive a 10% discount on the 1st item purchased, a 15% discount on the second item of equal or greater value purchased and a 20% discount on the 3rd item purchased of equal or greater value. We will also have 10 play cards available for purchase in the Pro Shop. You receive 10 green fees for the price of 9. In addition the cart fee card works the same way. You get 10 cart fees for the price of 9. Yes, they can be used next season. Refreshments and a lite fare will also be provided on the sale date.

Have a wonderful and safe Holiday season. See you in the spring.

We will award the top three decorated homes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes. Public Safety will notify winners. So get out there and start decorating. Judging will begin on December 1, 2022. ■

FROM RICHARD BOURNE, PUBLIC SAFETY MANAGER

Public Safety Corner

Another year is rapidly coming to an end. I would like to wish our Hideout members and guests a happy Holiday Season.

Just as a reminder the speed limit in the Hideout is 25 mph. The only exception is Antler Road, which is 15 mph. Public Safety Patrol Vehicles are equipped with both moving and stationary radar. Vehicle speed will be strictly enforced with special attention given to Safety Zones.

While driving you should expect pedestrians, avoid distractions like cell phone use, and obey speed limits.

Pedestrian Safety:

If you are using the walking lane around Roamingwood Lake pedestrians are to use sidewalk at the dam site. Walk facing traffic and as far to the left side

of the roadway as possible. Wear light colored clothing and add reflective material to increase visibility especially during early morning and in the evening hours.

With the winter weather and the need for snow removal from our roadways, please park your vehicles no less than five (5) feet from any paved roadway in our community. Also remove portable basketball hoops from the streets, especially in the culde sacs. It is not only a hindrance but a safety concern.

Have a Healthy Holidays and a Happy New Year to the Membership and Staff of The Hideout. ■

Once again, the Help A Hero Fund along with The Hideout did a wonderful job of honoring our veterans. There was a very moving ceremony, followed by a delicious hot brunch. We also had the company of some very special guests - veterans from Gino Merli veterans home, in Scranton. These gentlemen, and lady, sat with us, and were happy to trade war stories with our Hideout vets. It was a very successful day, celebrating those who served our country.

Winter

is coming!!!

With the winter months approaching the Facility Dept has been preparing all of our snow plows, salt spreaders and equipment to get ready for the snow and ice. As the colder months are near, we ask our members to please remove any items from away from the roads and keep all vehicles at least 5 ft away from the edge of the road as this can cause damage to and from our snow removal equipment. We have 700 tons of salt and anti-skid mixed and ready for the weather.

Stormwater remediation is near the end for the season. We will be repairing the golf course water issues near hole 7 as our last project for the 2022 season. Moving into 2023 we have multiple projects to start in the spring with around 100 smaller projects. Any member that is experiencing stormwater issues can contact Craig Rafaniello at ext. 132 or email crafaniello@thehideout.us

I want to thank the Board of Directors for the approval of the new Tiki Bar which will begin construction early 2023. The New Tiki Bar will have a 30 ft deck extension, a brand new 16x14 ft tiki bar centered on the deck and 2 restrooms added to the back side of the lodge. This project will be completed early may of 2023 and ready for the start of the 2023 summer season.

The North Gate project was approved and we will be bidding this work out in January 2023 with a start and finish timeframe of spring 2023. This project will consist of removing the islands and installing new concrete island with electrical upgrades for the new gate access and cameras.

As many of our members have noticed we have performed many upgraded to our building and amenities and we will continue to make improvements in 2023. The Clubhouse deck will be replaced in 2023 as well as new pool liners for the Main pool. We will begin to start paving some of the parking lots in 2023 and begin plans to start the road paving phases in 2024.

Bulk Garbage will continue to be open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 11am-12:30pm for members that have the bulk garbage pass. Any questions in regards to bulk garbage can be answered be Desiree Detres at ext. 133 or email ddetres@thehideout.us. Trash and recycling will continue to operate at normal hours Monday- Friday 6am-8pm and Saturday and Sunday 8am-8pm.

Housekeeping continues to maintain the interior cleanliness of all of our building and amenities this is not an easy job to perform but they go above and beyond to ensure our facilities are sanitized daily. Margie DeVincenzo is our lead custodian and has put together a great team. She ensures the staff is prepared for all seasons when it comes to keeping our amenities looking great.

If any member has questions in regards to Projects, Stormwater, Trash recycling or any general facility issues please contact myself at ext. 136 or email dpolhamus@thehideout.us ■

9. President’s Comments – Andrew Miller, President

Revenue as of the end of September is favorable by $572,689.00 but operation expenses are unfavorable by $712,292.00. The net income projection for Operations for the end of the year is a shortfall of approximately $85,955.00. This is due to several factors including a) increased wages to key staff in order to recruit and retain, remaining competitive with the area, b) warmer winter weather and extensive repairs to the Ski Hill, c) the overall effect of a 9% inflation increase. We are monitoring expenses closely for the next three months to try to reduce the shortfall. We have collected $369,529.00 of transfer fees as of the end of September vs. a budgeted amount of $370,000.00.

Arecent report from the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University revealed just how valuable a college degree continues to be. As tuition costs at many colleges and universities rise and families wonder if investing in a college degree is as wise as it once was, the CEW report can reassure parents and their children that a college degree remains a valuable asset that pays significant financial dividends over the long haul.

According to the CEW report, adults with a bachelor’s degree earn an average of $2.8 million during their careers. By contrast, adults with a high school diploma earn an average of $1.6 million over the course of their careers, while those without a diploma earn $1.2 million in their lifetimes.

One key consideration for individuals concerns when education may not provide the expected financial return. Though people pursue advanced degrees for a variety of reasons, including the potential to earn more money over the course of their careers, the CEW study found that the average person with a master’s degree earns $3.2 million in their careers, or just $400,000 more than someone with a bachelor’s degree. Though $400,000 is a significant sum of money, given the cost to obtain a master’s degree and the work required to earn it, some individuals, particularly those who would pursue such a degree solely to improve their earning potential, may not deem the investment worth their time or money. That’s a consideration for people given the average cost of a master’s degree, which the Education Data Initiative reports is slightly more than $66,000.

Field of study is another consideration for individuals curious about the return to expect when investing in education. The CEW report found that the median career earnings among individuals with a bachelor’s degree in architecture and engineering is $3.8 million, while individuals with a bachelor’s in education earn slightly more than half that amount ($2 million).

As the cost of higher education continues to rise, parents and students about to enter college should know that obtaining a college degree remains a worthy pathway to earning more money over the course of one’s life. ■

SWAN LAKE

By: Mark Darlow

I can hear their sounds so softly The white Swans that glide about I can see the lotus blooming As they juggle for some clout I’m in that dream where I’m alone The scene is cloudy without rain I sense the water’s motion

I’m deep within and there’s no pain Will I wake and be much wiser As this dream has once again Brought me closer to a heaven From this place where I pay rent My eyes for just a moment blink Where is this place I cannot think Bring me back I ask for one more view

I promise I’m not sure to who I wake the mornings filled with light I’ve dreamt my way throughout the night

I watch in awe the morning sky White clouds against the blue roll by.

Family - friendly resolutions to pursue together

There are plenty of resolutions that families can enjoy together. Undertaking goals as a family unit can create an accountability that keeps everyone on track. Here are some resolutions to think about making right now.

· Eating healthier meals together can move everyone’s personal health in the right direction. Start by adding a fruit or vegetable to every meal and try whole grains or a new grain, like quinoa. Small changes can add up to big gains and healthy results.

· Transform negative thinking patterns into positive ones. The family can keep gratitude journals, highlighting things in their lives they are grateful for or actions that make each person proud.

· Collectively aim to get more sleep each night. This may be achieved by turning electronics off earlier each night and spending the hour or two before bed engaged in lighthearted conversation or stress-busting activities like reading books.

· Plan for screen-free family time each day so that everyone can engage without the distractions of social media, work, friends, and other digital activities. ■

REAL ESTATE

Five Reasons Holiday Real Estate Listings Need Not Be A Hassle

By: Terri Ditty, Broker Associate

Selling your home during the holidays can actually be a well -managed, stressfree experience. Take the time to set some ground rules and boundaries with your REALTOR® and you will both benefit from the plan. So be proactive and take control with these five hints.

1. If You Are Traveling…it’s easy! Your REALTOR® is in charge of everything. Your home will be vacant and clean, and with people going in and out often enough, your home will appear busy and well travelled. Keep the heat on, and potential buyers will be happy to spend time taking a serious look at your home and not rushing out because it is too cold in the house.

2. You Don’t Have To Take Any Calls You Don’t Want To. No need to receive calls 24/7. You can manage how and when you communicate with your REALTOR®. Discuss email or text options, and time frames to make your communication as

unique as you wish.

3. You Can Have A Daily Showing Schedule. While the more your home is available, it also okay to have a limited schedule especially during the holidays. Arrange with your REALTOR® the hours during the day that buyers can come through your home, so you can enjoy your own personal schedule.

4. You Can Create Blackout Dates. Family visiting? Let your REALTOR® know what days are off limits. Most buyers schedule in advance anyway or will understand this a precious time for you relaxing at home with your guests.

5. Holiday Decorations? Just Go For It. Very few home buyers are really turned off by holiday decorations. It could certainly help if they look good, but generally they are not what we call a deal breaker. “Over the top” constraint could be better, but if you really feel the need.. just do it. ■

Insurances Cost More Than Just a Premium

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

One of the biggest issues in insurance shopping is patient cost share. Patient cost share is the amount of money that you, the patient, has to apply to his or her insurance reimbursement. There are three main types: deductible, co pay, and co-insurance.

Most patients will have one or a combination of these type of cost shares. The first is a deductible, which requires the patient to pay out of pocket the entire allowed amount of his or her insurance fee schedule, until a set monetary threshold is met. The second is co pay which requires the patient to pay a per visit rate that is taken directly out of the allowable payment for the services provided. The third is a co-insurance, in which the insurance will take a percentage of the allowable amount and make it the patient’s responsibility

All these cost share scenarios are confusing. It is recommended that all patients contact their respective insurance providers and ask questions. Be specific about the type of treatment you are receiving and in what setting the insurance will be billed. Also recommended is to pay attention to your health care billings. Always review and don’t be afraid to contact your provider or insurance carrier with any questions.

As both patient and provider know unfortunately cost share is common and probably here to stay. Be informed and know your insurance so there aren’t any surprises. If you do receive a bill or find out you will have to pay a lot to be treated, try talking to your providers billing department. Not all but some will work with you and

family to meet your budgetary needs. ■

ENVIRONMENTAL PAGE

From: Paul Matarazzo B.Env.Sc., Environmental Manager

As many may have noticed, the Roamingwood Native Garden had some issues throughout 2022, including dealing with invasive plant growth, and unsightly weeds masking the native plants in place. This fall the wildlife and forestry committee with the help of volunteers has worked vigorously to restore the garden to a sanctuary for native plants that not only benefit our environment, but present a pleasant optic as well. Many of the plants that can be seen in the garden today were donated by PPL, and Edge of The Woods Native Plant Nursery. We are very grateful for the native plants received from these two organizations, and cannot wait to see them flourish in the spring.

Some of the native plants that can be seen this spring in the garden are Pennsylvania sedge, blacked eyed susan, baccharis halmifolia, bayberry, spicebush, and other various native plants to the northeast. There are many ways to land scape when it comes to pursuing aesthet ics, maintenance, cost, and numerous other factors you may consider when de

ciding what to do with an outdoor space; but there are many unknown benefits and reasons to plant native species to whichever region you may be in! Gener ally, people tend to use ornamental plants that have been engineered to maximize their aesthetics, and many times increase their size. The sticking points for orna mental plants and crops are solely beauty and decoration, more often than not they create no ecological benefit for wildlife, and can often even be considered invasive. A perfect example of this is Japanese Barberry, for many years this shrub was a popular ornamental that was planted statewide.

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture now classifies Japanese Bar berry as invasive, and prohibits its sale. The benefits of native plants are end less, to start, plants native to the region they are being planted tend to take well, and are hardier than an ornamental would be. For example, in the northeast region winters can be brutal, it is extremely important that anything planted can with stand the cold weather, and the summer

heat. Plants native to the northeast are genetically prepared for the climate and our greatly varying four seasons.

As mentioned earlier, native plants create wildlife habitat anywhere they are located. By landscaping around a home, HOA, POA, or any other type of property, we are creating habitat for wildlife that is rapidly diminish ing every day. Many native plants offer food or sanctuary to things such as butterflies, birds, and bees, and many pol linators. They can even offer shelter for smaller mammals such as rabbits.

Not only do native plants benefit the environment via habitat and shelter for wildlife, they also require fewer pesticides, watering, fertilizer, and general maintenance. This in turn limits pollution as a whole without the need for constant mowing like ornamental grass would. On top of limiting pollution via lack of maintenance, native plants are extremely efficient at absorbing excess carbon di oxide and storing it within their roots. This equates to the bigger the root system, the more carbon the plant can store, hence why native trees are so important!

While many ornamental plants are very aesthetically pleasing, there are thou

sands of native wildflowers and plants that are vibrant and as colorful as any or namental you may see. It is encour aged that when you’re plant ing around the house, or doing minor landscaping, think about using native plants to beau tify your lot. Not only are you benefiting our environment and wildlife, you’ll save time and money on maintenance as well! ■

In times of trials and woes, In times of desolation, In times of direr need, In times of desperation; It’s those who truly love us From the goodness of their hearts

Who come to our rescue and Give us a brand new start. It’s they who open up their homes And offer a place to stay.

With everything they do and give, All we have could not repay!

For love has no price tag.

Love never seeks its own way, But continues to give unconditionally By making someone’s day! So with a grateful attitude, Give someone else a start

By showing love to those in need From the goodness of your heart.

“Through love serve one another.”

Galatians 5:13 (AMP)

The Hideout Children’s Halloween Party, Saturday, October

Once again, The Hideout Recreation staff, co-sponsor RE/MAX BEST, and volunteers came together to provide children with a fun, memorable event. Games, crafts, activities, snacks, and obviously, LOTS of candy. The costumes this year were incredible. It was clear that these kids took an abundance of time to plan and prepare the perfect costume. Let’s just say the judges had a tough time when it came to judging the costume contest. The smiles and laughs within the crowd revealed the loads of fun this event offered. The Hideout Recreation would like to thank RE/MAX BEST for co-sponsoring, all Hideout staff, and volunteers for supporting and helping provide a wonderful event for the children in The Hideout. ■

The Hideout Trunk or Treat, Saturday, October 29

“Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!” Well, sort of. The annual Trunk or Treat event continues to the bring out the scares and laughs during Halloween. Hundreds of members and their children came out to participate in this year’s Trunk or Treat. Nearly forty vehicles lined up with their trunks decorated and their candy ready to dish out to the children attending. Children left with overflowing bags of candy and massive smiles on their faces. Prizes were awarded for the scariest, funniest, most original, and the best overall trunk. The Hideout Recreation would like to thank all of The Hideout staff, volunteers, and the Lake Ariel Fire Department for coming together to provide another awesome event for the community. ■

COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES Lakes Committee Minutes - Sept. 17, 2022

Members: Kent Fairfield, Steve Flapan, Rick Nolte, Judy Restaino, Jeff Silverman

Zoom: Kirsten Dolan

Staff: Paul Matarazzo

Board: Andrew Miller

Excused: Arnie Milidantri, Iggy Rivera

The meeting was called to order at 9:04 in person and via Zoom followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

The minutes of the previous meeting were approved as written with a motion by J. Silverman, a second by S. Flapan and approval by all (5-0-0).

Quote by Princeton Hydro for Aeration replacement on Deerfield Lake: Compressor cabinet 2 (four 1HP compressors with capacitors and mounting feet and four replacement filters) will total roughly $5,800. S. Flapan questioned what is covered under the warranty. We are awaiting the end of year SAV (Aquatic Vegetation Survey). P. Matarazzo will ask Mike Hartshorne from Princeton Hydro to come to our next meeting.

Annual tape grass treatment completed the week of 9/5 by Nature Works: Getaway Cove was the targeted treatment area.

Unicellular algae blooms on Roamingwood Lake the week of 9-12: Testing occurred at Main Beach, North Beach, Marina and Mid-lake location and showed no presence of microcystins. R. Nolte asked for a photo to see what an algae bloom looks like, and P. Matarazzo said that he would send one.

Repairs to dam on Roamingwood:

There was a question about the location of the bladder used during the repair of the dam. P. Matarazzo will check into that with D. Pohlamus. The repairs to the dam are in good shape. The weir arm might be

replaced in the spring.

Lake Drawdown and fish stocking:

The drawdown is scheduled for October 17th. We are awaiting the permit approval from PADEP. The lake will be brought back to normal pool beginning March 15th, 2023.

We are also awaiting Walleye stocking prices from Shultz Fish Hatchery which should be available in early October. The fish will be in the 6-8” range so should balance our fishery. There was a question about stocking more sterile carp but there doesn’t seem to be enough vegetation to warrant more carp; however, Princeton Hydro will make that determination.

Tabled:

Nature Works is getting an estimate for next year for the FWI (floating wetland island)s. Budget replacement has occurred for the DSI outlet structure repairs.

BioChar in smaller lakes: S. Flapan feels it would be good because it is inexpensive and works but depends on where it is placed. R. Nolte feels it is good for Brooks Lake because there is only one entrance into the lake.

Discussion:

J. Silverman asked if there is always someone on duty to lower the water in Roamingwood in the event of a storm and was told that there is.

Andrew Miller asked about getting Brooks Lake ready for ice fishing and ice skating. The reasons for a deer cull, if necessary, were discussed as well as the problem of dead trees near the road.

The next meeting will be on October 29th. The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 with a motion by J. Silverman, a second by R. Nolte, and approval by all.

Respectfully submitted, Judy Restaino ■

BILLING SYSTEM CONVERSION UPDATES

The new billing system conversion is still on target to transition over as of January1, 2023. Below is a rough sample of what the new billing statements will look like.

Additionally, due to new increased financial security measures for payments, ACH customers will have to enter their own data into their personal customer portal.

Winterize Your Home Before an Extended Absence:

If you plan on leaving your home unattended during the winter months, please give consideration to your water pipes. At a minimum, the following is suggested:

• Have your water turned off at the street by RS&W.

• Have your home winterized by a qualified pluming professional.

• Turn off the valve at the main supply line where it enters your home.

• Turn off and drain your water heater.

• Maintain temperatures at a reasonable level to prevent freezing.

• Inspect the basement or crawlspace for any openings or vents and insulate!

The tips provided on our website will assist in winterizing your home if you will be away for any extended period. The purpose of winterizing your home is to remove water which can freeze within the pipelines and other areas. While nobody can guarantee against frozen or broken pipes, it is important that you take preventive winterizing steps. You may prefer contacting a Master Plumber to do the work.

Generator Permit

AHideout

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

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

IMPORTANT PORTABLE GENERATOR

SAFETY TIPS:

- Never operate a generator indoors - it can cause unintentional carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas

which, if inhaled, can be fatal.

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

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

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

HOW TO CHOOSE A GENERATOR

- Identify the items you will need to run in the event of a power outage. Choose the generator that meets or exceeds the total

wattage requirement.

- Assistance from a qualified electrician is also advisable.

• 5,000 WATTS (41.7/20.8 AMPS)

Powers Refrigerator 700 watts, AM/FM radio 50 watts, Color TV 450 watts, Eight 100-watt lights 800 watts, Microwave 1,000, Sump pump 1,000 watts, Water pump 1,000 watts

• 6,800 WATTS (56.7/28.3 AMPS) Powers everything a 5,000 watt generator does, plus: Deep freezer 500 watts, Washing machine 1,100 watts

• 8,000 WATTS (66.7/33.3 AMPS) Powers everything a 6,800 watt generator

does, plus: Attic fan 300 watts, Clothes dryer (gas) 700 watts, Four 100 watt lights 400 watts

NOTE - A simple formula to calculate how much combined power you’ll need to run appliances and tools is volts x amps = wattage. Check the power demands of your appliances to determine whether they can run simultaneously or intermittently. Always consult the data plate on the appliance for accurate electrical information.

Starting watts: Always plug in the appliance with the highest starting wattage first and add appliances in descending wattage order. ■
