The Hideabout March 2024

FROM RICHARD YOCUM

Board President’s Message

Hello March! This is the time of year when winter is trying to leave, and spring is trying to arrive. Take a walk on a sunny day, and you can simultaneously feel the spring warmth from the sun and the winter cold from the breeze. Nature is telling us not to get too complacent because some of our heaviest snowfalls have occurred in March. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen this year.

As a reminder, The Hideout dues need to be paid by the 31st of this month to avoid any penalties and to maintain your status as a member in good standing. Also, please remember to vote on the proposed Bylaw changes that were endorsed by our Governing Documents Committee and approved by your Board to be voted on by the membership. Just follow the directions in your dues packet to fill out and return your ballot.

The Board of Directors encourages all our members to attend any Board Workshop Meeting and/or regular Board Meeting. Any member in good standing may attend in person or via Zoom. A Board Workshop is when the Board gets updates from the Community, Financial, and other Managers. During workshops, the Board also discusses items such as bids on projects, recommendations from committees, rule changes, and ideas from fellow Board members. While these discussions are public, the Board usually does not accept questions or comments from members at a Workshop.

A Workshop, typically held on a Friday

afternoon, is the Board’s only opportunity to get general updates and freely discuss items and ideas with fellow Board members and Administration.

This brings me to regular Board meetings. A regular Board Meeting, usually scheduled on the Saturday morning the week after a workshop is held, is where members are encouraged to ask questions and make comments. The agenda for a Board Meeting is published the day before the meeting on The Hideout website. This meeting follows the published agenda and members have two opportunities to ask questions and make comments. The agenda is divided into sections. Members may question/comment on an agenda item in a section before that section is acted upon by the Board. The next opportunity for questions/comments is at the end of the agenda. A member may ask about an agenda item that they didn’t think about previously. This is also the time to bring up any concerns, questions, or comments you may have on any topic.

The next Board Workshop Meeting is 1pm March 8 downstairs at the POA. The next Board Meeting is 9am March 16 at the Main Lodge.

Again, please join us in person or look for the email blasts with directions to join us via Zoom.

FROM LARRY F R OTTEN

Community Manager’s Message

Hideout Members and Staff:

We hope we are approaching the end of Winter. We’ve seen mixed Winter weather this year, starting with a cold November, then rain and warmer temperatures followed by some cold temperatures. The lack of a substantial snow storm has helped to alleviate our snow removal expenses. We need to stay prepared since the Northeast has very often been surprised with substantial snow storms late Winter. As always, our Maintenance staff is prepared to keep our roadways clear.

We are fortunate to have qualified staff who have been given the necessary tools to keep our roadways clear and keep our members and employees safe. We continue to update our equipment both within Maintenance and Public Safety. These are two of the vital functions we realize need the proper tools to perform their functions. The high cost of repairs due to significant breakdowns has not been in the financial interest of The Hideout. We continue to explore efficient and cost cutting when we seek to replace or upgrade our equipment

As you know, the speed limit on all roads in The Hideout is 25 mph. We wish to advise the membership that our efforts to reduce speeds seems to be taking effect. There has been a noted decrease in speeding and traffic infractions in our community. Speeding is a dangerous activity which puts drivers, pedestrians and wildlife at risk. We will continue addressing this issue by increasing radar patrols and the use of our stationary radar speed camera. We have also noticed too many drivers are not obeying top signs. All vehicles must come to a complete stop when approaching stop signs. We will continue our enforcement efforts in this area. All patrol vehicles are equipped with radar equipment and all

officers are trained on traffic and radar enforcement. We appreciate your cooperation in our road safety efforts.

We remind all our members elections for the Board of Directors are currently open. This year there are three positions open. The Hideout is successful because of the volunteers that serve. If anyone has an interest in serving either as a Director or committee member please contact the Administration office for details on how you can apply.

The Hideout is a complex enterprise serving our Members with a well-trained staff. We have filled most staffing positions and look forward to a rewarding year. Our mission is to continue to cross-train our staff so member services are maintained. We are also blessed to have many of our members volunteer their time and talents. Committees are an important part of Hideout operations, and their contributions are the reason we are recognized as a premier homeowner’s association.

We look forward to the coming warmer weather where our staff will work on changing our amenities from a Winter function into a Spring and Summer function. The warmer weather also requires us to recruit summer help. We encourage those interested in part time employment to contact our Human Resources Department and certainly anyone interested in full time employment.

We appreciate those members who have paid their dues and encourage those who have not to consider early payment. Thank you for your support of our hardworking staff.

Facilities Corner

The Facilities Department has had a busy year so far and its only March!

Our Road crew has been very busy with these Snow storms ensuring the roads are clear from snow and ice and making sure our members and staff can drive throughout the community Safely. We would like to remind our members that during these snow and ice events its vital to keep vehicles and item 5-10 feet away from the roadway to make our jobs easier and prevent damage to our equipment. Projects that are in progress for 2024 are on schedule. The Golf Course Cart path at hole 7 & 8 will be paved in the spring and ready for the Course to open. The Main Pool will be ready to open by Memorial Weekend. The Tiki Bar Deck Extension We are waiting for the Stamped plans and this work will be performed in house and ready for memorial Weekend. The Main Pool pumps and Electric will be upgraded and all set for the pools to open. The New concrete pad and walkway from the Waterfront grill to the tiki bar will be installed in the spring and we are working on a few other projects for Amenity upgrades this year. The New Driving Range will be ready to open in the fall of 2024 and we are excited to start work on prepping Laurel Park for this new Amenity.

The Clubhouse deck will be replaced this year as we are just waiting on stamped plans so we can bid this out. The new deck is being replaced as is but with new railings, larger piers to help support a future four season room.

The North Recreation Tennis court is scheduled to be replaced this spring we are waiting on contractor input so we can bid this out. The North Rec building will also be having the Deck replaced this year and looking to increase the appearance of this area.

Adams Cable is just about finished with the New Fiber optics throughout the Hideout and members will be seeing an increase in internet speed.

We are currently working on some upgrades to the Hideouts WIFI and researching some hot spots for the North Section and at some of our Amenities to give members better access to the Internet and WIFI calling.

Stormwater remediation will continue in the spring and we are currently working on correcting the Maplewood Swale with a timeline of 2-3 weeks for this project to be completed.

Vegetation Management will start in the spring with the hideout removing some dead, dying and Hazardous trees on Hideout owned property to help clear some of these areas to prevent future issues.

The Main Gate project is getting closer! We are waiting on PP&L to identify the new power pole and power line placement then PennDOT will be reviewing for Accuracy. Once we get this permit from PennDOT we can then move forward with bidding this project out using Penn Bid.

The Facilities Departments vehicles and equipment are all up to date and have been performing well. Every year we experience some breakdowns and issues but quickly recover to ensure they are back on the road.

We look forward to this spring and summer and are excited for the new upgrades to the Hideout and researching more improvements for the future.

We invite you to help us by entering your pet’s information through your gateaccess.net account. Please remember to add your lot number and a picture. Public Safety also uses an AVID chip scanner.

Communications Corner

Hello Hideout Community,

Please allow me to introduce myself to you through print… My name is Paige, and I am excited to share that I will be your new Community Relations Manager!

While new to this role, I am not new to The Hideout. I actually began my love of this beautiful little slice of Northeastern PA over twenty years ago when my grandparents moved here. I would make the two-and-a-half-hour trek from West Chester PA to visit them and the surrounding area often. Then, after two decades of making this community my “home away from home” for every holiday and vacation, I became a full-time resident of The Hideout three years ago. This will also not be my first role serving the members I now call my neighbors. I have worked as a Hideout employee for over a year in another department before transitioning to this new adventure at the end of last month.

I plan to bring my knowledge of the community and POA, along with experience in publication (both print and online), design, social media, and

technology to serve as your go-to resource for any and all Hideout related information. My goal is to maintain the high standard with which information is currently communicated, while implementing new and innovative options in an ever-advancing technological world. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any ideas, suggestions, or would just like to say hello and introduce yourself! You might also consider taking the ideas you have one step further by inquiring about volunteer opportunities within the Communications Committee. Join the committee to partner directly with the department’s new team in our effort to advance information delivery and communication. I can be reached via email at palmquist@thehideout.us or by phone at (570) 698-4100, ext. 107. I look forward to seeing you around at our amazing amenities and events, as well as sharing with you everything our community has to offer.

Dues Paid in Full: We ended December 2023 with 3641 lots paid in full which is 99.8% of our budgeted number of 3650. This left 9 lots unpaid against the budget.

Environmental: Mr. Frotten advised the Members that we plan to add $50K to the 2025 Environmental budget for total of $100K, in order to facilitate the removal of downed/diseased trees in Hideout Common Areas and Member Lots. Diseased/damaged/hazardous trees are a major safety and fire hazard. Maintenance department equipment would be used for this project. To increase the funds necessary to undertake this project, the Environmental Control Committee (ECC) is recommending that the Tree Permit application fee be

increased from No Charge to a $25.00 flat fee. (See Motion 24-13).

Facilities: Mr. Frotten advised that we have requested approval to purchase a replacement truck (see Motion 2406). Our equipment is performing well in the winter weather. Our salt shed is adequately stocked and we are expecting another shipment in the next few weeks.

ENVIRONMENTAL PAGE

From: Paul Matarazzo

Greetings,Spring

is fast approaching, and warmer days are in our near future!

Here are some environmental updates coming into the Hideout’s busy season.

NWF (National Wildlife Federation)

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

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

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

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

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

Environmental Updates

•USDA deer population surveys are to occur in the months of March / April.

oAny questions regarding deer management, and population numbers can be answered by contacting the Environmental Manager (Paul Matarazzo) via email at pmatarazzo@thehideout.us, or phone at 570-698-4100 x108

•No deer will be culled in the 2024 calendar year.

•Deer management will continue to take place in order to maintain a healthy deer herd.

B.Env.Sc.,

Lake Updates

•Roamingwood lake will remain at a height of 5-6ft once work has commenced on Maplewood Swale, current lake height is 7ft below pool due to the work being performed.

•Roamingwood will be re-filled to pool height beginning on March 15th, 2024 (pending lake thaw if necessary).

•The Windemere Dam Restoration Project has been completed

oStructural repairs were made.

oTrees Impeding the dam were removed.

oStone was added for reinforcement along the dam face.

oThe dam outlet was fortified, and reconstructed to avoid interference from beavers.

Reminders

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

Environmental Manager

National Wildlife Federation

Beginning in 2021, The Hideout POA embarked on a mission to gain designation as a National Wildlife Federation certified community. The certification would label The Hideout as a wildlife friendly community. This may not seem like a big deal, but only a small number of communities in the country have met the requirements for this label. 200 communities in the U.S. have gained this NWF designation, while only 14 communities are currently certified in Pennsylvania. The NWF is a fantastic organization

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

runoff and its consequential effects on water quality, best management practices (BMPs) in regards to conservation, preservation of pollinators, and preservation of beauty within the community. All of this is accomplished through their guidelines to certifying individual properties as wildlife gardens and habitat.

Outside of their environmental stewardship support within communities, they are large proponents on the political front for new environmental policy. Some examples of movements they supported in efforts to protect habitat and wildlife are The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act, The Water Resources and Development Act, and countless other initiatives over the last few decades. They play an important roll in driving many positive environmental policies, all the more

In order to reach our designation as a wildlife friendly community, 73 additional residents need to register their property as wildlife habitat. The fee to register one’s property with the NWF is $20, which the POA will cover in its entirety. Sign up is simple, go to the following link to begin registering (https://www.nwf. org/CertifiedWildlifeHabitat). (Paper applications are also available in the POA office). Once selecting “start now”, some basic questions will be asked pertaining to your property to ensure that it provides very basic needs that wildlife require. Once this is complete, you will submit your application online, and await certification! All new property registrations will need to submit proof of registration to Paul Matarazzo, Environmental Manager for reimbursement. This can be done via email (pmatarazzo@thehideout. us). Application forms for certification can also be printed and given to residents at the POA building if paper is preferred.

If any questions are unanswered, or further information on the topic is desired, please reach out to Paul Matarazzo, Environmental Manager via the email provided above, 570698-4100 Ext. 120, or stopping by the POA building.

COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

Recreation Committee Meeting MinutesFebruary 15, 2024

Chair: Joe Delissio

Members: Ken Wentz, Matt Paone, Mike Cuneos, Ray Pospisil, Sherri Pagnanelli

Staff: John Boandl

Board Liason: Bob Tressler

Absent: Carleen Swanson, Carol Altuna, Susan Fox

Guests: Ray West, President and Dave Cox, Treasurer from the Hideout Sportsman Club

Meeting was called to order in person and from Zoom, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.

The meeting started with the introduction of new and current members. The committee is at full capacity. John reviewed the 2024 Recreation Goals and Committee Guidelines, also reminding everyone if you are unable to attend to please let him know. Joe would like to see more involvement of committee members at events.

The Hideout Sportsman Club representatives gave a presentation as to what their club entails.

The Recreation Budget report showed positive revenues for the months of Dec and Jan.

Upcoming Events:

Winter Carnival Jan 17-The cardboard box race had 56 registered participants; and a light parade.

February Art Camp Jan 19-23, is at full capacity.

Adult Bingo at the Main Lodge, Mar 3-144 people have signed up, 180 is max capacity.

Capital Projects Update

Driving Range Plans-The layout has been determined. The length of the range will be 241 yards with high nets, six lanes of concrete pads with artificial turf mats. Trees will be removed, and stumps will

be cleared. The budget is $36,000. An automatic ball dispenser machine will dispense 25-30 balls in one basket. This can be adjusted as we see fit. The timeline is Sept/Oct.

Fitness Center-There will be four new additions to the Fitness Center: Treadmill, Elliptical, Bike, and a Stair Stepper. These new and current pieces will enhance the Center. All purchased from the same company that offers warranties, service, and maintenance. The REC staff is very pleased with this company as they go above and beyond. The revenues for the Fitness Center have increased from 2022 by $12,000.

Northside Pickleball/Tennis CourtThe existing courts will be thoroughly demolished. Dennis Polhamus, Maintenance Director, will handle the structural part of the courts and those are all out for bid. The REC center will handle the surface and line painting of the courts. The courts will consist of four pickleball only courts, each separated by fences, perpendicular to one tennis court. Since the existing fence will be demolished, consideration was given to new entrances to avoid court crossover as much as possible.

Upcoming Events

Concert On The Hill Summer Series: Scheduled to appear are KarTunes on June 15, and Nowhere Slow on June 20. Looking to add a third concert in Aug., suggestions are welcome.

Summer camp – Dates have been determined.

The next meeting is March 31, 4pm at the POA.

Meeting was adjourned, motion by Ray, seconded by Sherri.

Respectfully submitted,

Lori Muscaro

GOOD NEIGHBORS CLUB

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

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

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

If a parcel cannot fit inside of your USPS mailbox in the community, they will either leave you a key to access it inside of a larger USPS mailbox nearby OR they will leave you a notice indicating the package was held at their facility and must be picked up there.

For routine deliveries other than UPS & FedEx, such as a grocery delivery service, for example, you will need to make arrangements with Public Safety to register that service provider as a guest for your lot.

This will allow the service provider to go right to your dwelling, and not require your physical presence to escort them into the community. Simply contact Public Safety by calling (570) 698-4100, ext. 140 to make those arrangements.

Do You Suffer from Headaches

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

Physical therapy can be a valuable ally in the battle against headaches, offering a holistic approach to address underlying causes and alleviate symptoms. Headaches often stem from muscular tension, poor posture, or even joint dysfunction in the neck and shoulders. A skilled physical therapist can assess these issues and tailor a treatment plan to target the root causes.

Through a combination of targeted exercises, stretches, and manual techniques, physical therapists work to improve posture, enhance muscle flexibility, and promote joint mobility. These interventions aim to reduce tension and strain in the neck and shoulder muscles, common culprits in tension headaches.

Moreover, physical therapists can educate patients on proper ergonomics and body mechanics, empowering them to make lifestyle changes that contribute to headache prevention. By addressing muscle imbalances and promoting overall musculoskeletal health, physical therapy helps create a foundation for sustained relief from chronic headaches.

Importantly, physical therapy does not rely on medication alone, making it an appealing option for those seeking drug-free approaches or complementing pharmacological treatments. The collaborative nature of physical therapy empowers individuals to actively participate in their healing process, fostering longterm well-being and resilience against recurrent headaches. In conclusion, incorporating physical therapy into headache management can provide comprehensive and sustainable relief by addressing the underlying musculoskeletal factors contributing to this common ailment.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

To stay safe walking, follow these rules of the road:

1. Walk Facing Traffic When Walking on the Side of the Road

If there is no sidewalk and you must walk on the side of the road, choose the side where you are facing oncoming traffic. In North America, this is the left side of the road. This gives you the best chance to see traffic approaching closest to you and take evasive action when needed.

2. Walk Single File When Not Separated from the Road

Unless you are on a sidewalk separated from the road or you are in a wide bike/ pedestrian lane, you should walk in single file. This is especially important on a road with lots of curves and where traffic has only a split second chance of seeing you before hitting you. While it can be enjoyable to walk down the road two to three abreast chatting merrily, drivers don’t expect it and you may lose your best walking buddies.

3. Stay Aware of Bikes and Runners

Share the road and path with bikes and runners. Bike riders should alert you when approaching from behind with a bike bell or a “passing on the left/right.” Listen for them, and move to walk single file, allowing them to pass safely. Runners should also call out for passing. Bike-walker collisions can result in broken bones or head injury for either—and you aren’t wearing a helmet.

4. Be Visible

Wear bright colors when walking. When walking at night, wear reflective clothing or a reflective vest to be visible. Drivers are often not expecting walkers to be out after dark, and you need to give them every chance to see you. Be just as cautious at dawn or twilight, as drivers still have limited visibility or may even have the setting or rising sun directly in their eyes.

5. Be Predictable

Make a practice of staying on one side of the path while walking rather than weaving randomly from side to side. Watch your arm motions, or you may end up giving a black eye to a passing walker, runner, or biker.

6. Keep the Volume Down

Don’t drown out your environment when listening to music with your earbuds or headphones. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear bike bells and warnings from other walkers and runners.

7. Hang Up and Eyes Up

Distracted walking due to chatting, texting, or playing games on a mobile device while you walk is as dangerous as doing those things while driving. You are distracted and not as aware of your environment. You are less likely to recognize traffic danger, tripping hazards, or passing joggers and bikers. Adopt habits that can keep your phone in your pocket, or at least make it a practice to stop in a safe place to complete your phone tasks before moving on.

8. Walk Dogs on Short Leashes

It is terrifying and tragic to witness dogs running out in to traffic or getting into a fatal dog fight, whether on leash or off leash. But when walking your dog on a long leash there is also a danger that you will trip other walkers or bikers. You will keep your dog safer as well as those who pass by you if you use proper leash walking etiquette.

9. Know When to Stop Walking

Heat sickness, dehydration, heart attack, or stroke can strike walkers of any age. Learn the symptoms of medical emergencies and carry a cell phone to dial 911. Even if you are a seasoned and well-trained walker, you may experience one of these problems and need to cut your walk short. Encourage your walking friends to stop when they show any concerning symptoms.

10. Be Aware of Stranger Danger

Street safety is a concern for many walkers. Choose your walking route for paths frequented by other walkers, joggers, and bikers. If you see someone suspicious, be prepared to alter your course or go into a store or public building to avoid them. Acting alert and aware can convince bad guys you are not an easy target.

THE HELP A HERO FUND: SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY

The Hideout Help a Hero Fund recently received a letter from the Public Safety Department requesting our assistance in helping out one of our own.  An employee of their department is currently in the hospital battling life threatening illnesses and has been unable to work. The family has also incurred tremendous medical bills. Pictured here are Help a Hero Fund members Bill Wagner (VP) and Rob Trombley, presenting a check to Public Safety Manager, Matt Puzio, on behalf of their officer. Also present were Larry Frotten, Community Manager, Jill Metschulat, Asst. Community Manager, and Jeff Behnke, Public Safety Operations Supervisor.

It Takes A Lot to Stop A Moving Train

In the heart of this mighty iron beast

Where pistons pulse and gears entwine

A symphony of motion unfolds no lease

As wheels kiss rails in rhythmic rhyme

It takes a lot to halt this raging force

To tame the thunder to slow the pace

For once set free upon the tracks

A moving train leaves but a trace.

The whistle wails a mournful cry

As landscapes blur in fleeting grace

Through valleys deep and mountains high

The train moves on leaving trails of space

The brakes engage their desperate grip

Against inertia’s unyielding hold

Steel against steel the battle is fought

As momentum fights to break its mold

The conductor’s hands weathered and firm

Pull levers twist knobs and often pray.

He knows the weight of every soul aboard

Their stories are etched in steel and clay

Still the world outside blurs on by

As if time itself clings to the rails

The station looms a distant sign stands high

And destiny awaits the passenger’s tales.

Note: The relentless power of a train hurtling forward becomes a metaphor for life’s unstoppable momentum. Sometimes, it takes an extraordinary effort to change course or find a new destination.
