The Hideabout May 2024

Board President’s Message

The month of May has finally arrived, and I am reminded of an old saying, “April showers bring May flowers”. This past April, Mother Nature sure took that saying in a literal sense. April was wet, wet, wet. All that rain reminded me how the weather impacts our lives here in The Hideout. As the spring and summer seasons are upon us, and the weather cooperates, we look forward to outdoor activities. We can enjoy relaxing activities such as leisurely walks, or a cooling dip in the lake or pool while soaking up some vitamin D from the sun. Others may enjoy more robust activities such as a game of tennis, pickleball or a round of golf. Of course, any activity can be followed by enjoying some good food and a cold beverage at the Tiki Bar with friends.

Just as Mother Nature controls our outdoor activities, she has the same control over our Maintenance Department. Currently, our Maintenance Department is doing a great job getting our warm weather amenities up and running. But all it takes is a heavy rain or windstorm and they must divert their resources to handling storm water runoff or

cleaning up downed trees and limbs. Heavy rain also can make the golf course soggy and unusable for some time. The weather can also control amenity improvements.

A good example is the resurfacing of pickle courts. The resurfacing requires several days of dry weather in a row to allow for that project to be started and completed.

The weather also has an impact on our budget. Just as warm weather in the winter can negatively be reflected in Ski Hill income, a rainy spring and summer can reduce income from many of our warm weather amenities. Income from the pools, golf course, Tiki Bar and others are dependent on good weather.

As spring and summer are finally upon us, let’s all hope Mother Nature provides us with sunny skies and warm weather. But regardless of the weather, just enjoy all that The Hideout has to offer!

FROM JOHN BOANDL, RECREATION MANAGER Recreation Corner

Greetings… Summer is just around the corner for the Recreation Department.

With a busy season coming up, I wanted to take a minute to discuss some recreational opportunities that some people might not be aware of. For those of you that haven’t checked out The Hideout’s Outdoor Sports Complex yet, it is located right behind the Recreation Center on North Fairway Drive. It is a truly gorgeous amenity with an oversized pavilion, horseshoe pits, bocce ball courts, a playground, and a sand volleyball court. We also offer this amenity for rental opportunities such as parties or special occasions. Please contact Recreation at 570-630-3733 with any questions.

When you’re looking to stay inside on a hot or maybe a rainy day, I encourage you to check out the Nubia Malkin Art Center. The Nubia Malkin Art Center is located right across the street from the Ski Hill. The dedicated staff offer a number of programs and events, for beginners and advanced crafters. You

can paint an amazing ceramic piece, or even take part in creating stained glass projects. The staff would love to show you around and introduce you to everything that’s offered at the Art Center. Call Recreation today at 570-630-3733 to sign up for a class and learn more about our Art Center.

Roamingwood Lake, Brooks Lake, and Deerfield Lake are all located within the Hideout Community. Each lake is different and offers a beautiful setting for your summer outing. The fishing and recreational opportunities are amazing at all three locations. To find out more about fishing in the Hideout, please read Paul Matarazzo (Hideout Environmental Manager)’s May article.

We’re happy to hear from you, so if you have any questions about how to utilize some of our amenities, please do not hesitate to reach out!

FROM LARRY F R OTTEN Community Manager’s Message

The leaves are sprouting on the trees indicating our last lasting winter may have come to an end and we can dedicate ourselves to all the wonders of spring. Our Maintenance Department is already moving forward with cleaning our streets, installing amenity equipment and preparing to continue our work restoring various infrastructure. Recreation is also fully involved with planning summer events and hiring staff to maintain our seasonal amenities. We urge members to check our broadcast detailing new programs for the summer including Concerts on the Hill being reviewed for the Ski Hill Complex. Public Safety is continuing their efforts in traffic enforcement and also filling summer time positions.

The POA is processing registration information and dues collections along with all the other functions that keep The Hideout functioning successfully. We are very appreciative of the members who have paid their dues in such a timely manner. The golf course will hopefully open on time this year if our weather permits. Food and Beverage is updating their services and providing entertainment at the Lodge and Clubhouse. We recommend you watch for these events as they have been very entertaining and support our desire to provide the best we can to our members.

The Hideout is seeking staff in various areas. We ask our members to contact anyone they may know who would like summer and fulltime employment. Currently we do have some staff needs, however we have been very fortunate with the resumes we have been receiving. The Hideout is the 6th largest employer in Wayne County and we offer generous wage and benefits packages along with a beautiful setting to work in. We have openings in in our Food and Beverage area, Public Safety, Recreation and Golf. These jobs vary and most can be performed by retirees and young adults. Your assistance would help in continuing to make The Hideout a great place.

This is also the time of the year we wish to remind our members about certain rules and regulations that impact all of us as members and employees. Members are reminded fireworks are prohibited in The Hideout unless authorized by The Board of Directors. Therefore, for

all intents the use of fireworks is prohibited and significant fines will be assessed to anyone who violates The Hideout policy on fireworks. Fireworks are detrimental to our four-legged friends and most of our senior citizens. We understand many members enjoy the displays provided by fireworks and The Hideout does provide a fireworks exhibition. This year our fireworks are scheduled for Saturday, July 6th. We continue to stress our enforcement of speeding violations. The speed limit in The Hideout is 25MPH unless otherwise posted. Property owners are reminded they should inform all their guests of our rules including speeding. Other rules governing rental properties should be adhered to. Rules governing use of amenities, especially the pools, beaches and recreation should be reviewed with all guests. One rule, the Board has approved is not allowing firearms within amenities that serve alcohol.

This is the time of year when The Hideout is gearing up for the election of officers to the Board of Directors. This year we have seen a very positive interest with members registering to run as candidates. We urge our members to seek and review the qualifications of all the candidates. The Board of Directors is the representative of the members and those elected should be qualified to set policies for a complex business such as The Hideout. This year there are 3 positions open. Members need to familiarize themselves with the candidates so that we can continue to grow The Hideout as a residential community. These Board members are volunteers are asked to give many hours of their valuable time to work on complex issues affecting The Hideout. We should all acknowledge the debt of gratitude owed to them for their service.

As we enter the warmer weather season, we wish you a wonderful, healthy spring season. A season where nature regenerates. We hope you find time to enjoy the beauty of spring. Above all STAY SAFE.

FROM KELLY ANN-VACCARO, REGISTRATION SUPVR

Registration Corner

As the demanding revalidation period slowly unwinds, the Registration Department would like to thank our membership for your understanding and cooperation during this time! While we are updating member files, please keep in mind if there are any changes or additions made in regard to property deeds, our office will also need to obtain a copy, since we are not directly notified by the courthouse.

LLC/Inc. documentation is also required to be updated each and every year with your annual assessment. The Resolution Document can be found directly on The Hideout website: hideoutassoc. com/Resources/Documents_Forms.

Should you still need to complete your Personal Guarantee, please contact our office in order to receive the correct

documentation.

Please note it is the responsibility of the property owner to register all household pets with the POA Office. Keep in mind this also applies to those animals that do not require a tag to utilize the dog park. With this being said, all household pets should be properly documented under your lot should an incident arise.

Facilities Corner

Summer is closing in!

The Hideout Public Works Department is gearing up for the upcoming summer season. We have been working on getting the parks, beaches and outside amenities ready to open. The outdoor restrooms are now open for members to use while walking around the lake and visiting the parks and beaches. Over the next few weeks our team will be regrading the Main and North Beach and adding some new sand. The Main beach had some work completed to correct a stormwater issue and some new drains installed.

tennis court in 2025.

The Tiki Bar extension is scheduled to start in the fall of 2024 due to a delay in railing fabrication and revised plans from the township. We decided to hold off on the extension until the fall of 2024 to prevent closing the Tiki Bar.

As always, The Registration Department is open Tuesday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., and can be contacted at (570) 698-4100 extension 0, should you have any questions or concerns.

POA Office Hours:

BOARD OF DIRECTORS WORKSHOP

Friday, May 3, 2024, 1 p.m. at the POA Board Room & on Zoom

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING Saturday, May 11, 2024, 9 a.m. at the Main Lodge & on Zoom

2024 has already been a very busy year for our crew. Stormwater swales, drainage ditches and culvert pipes were repaired on a variety of problem areas. The Maplewood Swale project is completed and I’m happy to report this project was completed in-house, saving The Hideout a huge amount of money and this swale is working great. We still have a list of stormwater projects to complete this year and our crew performs all this work in-house. The road crew is extremely knowledgeable in the work they perform and we continue to see progress on The Hideout’s stormwater management.

The Main Pool project is just about completed and will be ready for Memorial Weekend. The Main Pool was completely overhauled with new concrete decking, new gunite (sprayed concrete) on the interior and updated electric. We also installed new pool pumps and a water filtration system to enhance the water quality. The North Recreation building had the decking replaced by The Hideout Maintenance team and it looks amazing. This was to replace all the boards that have become hazardous.

The North Recreation tennis court is being completely resurfaced with new asphalt and new pickleball courts. The North Recreation tennis court will now be used strictly for pickleball, as we have converted this court to six pickleball courts. We plan on renovating the POA

The Clubhouse deck will be replaced in the fall of 2024 with all new piers to support a future addition and new deck boards. This project was also put on hold until the fall to prevent closing the entrance during our busy season.

The Hideout roads are scheduled to be stripped before Fourth of July weekend. We are currently waiting on the bids from PennBid for the board to open and review. We are also working on cracksealing the Hideout roads in 2024 and we are in the site visit stage of the bid process.

The Ski Hill will be getting a new addition this summer to add storage for the Ski Hill Grill. This addition will also be completed in-house and will add more storage and a walk-in freezer to assist with product storage for the Grill. The Ski Hill Manager has been busy getting the hill ready for the 2025 winter season with some new equipment and covers for the Magic Carpet. The Ski Hill team is also preparing all the rental equipment and lift equipment for next season.

The Golf Course cart paths on holes seven and eight will be finished as weather permits. As we all know, the golf course gets a lot of water, so there have been some delays with getting equipment on the course and preventing damage.

The Hideout Public Works Department is excited for this upcoming season and we look forward to ensuring the Hideout remains a gold star community!

Communications Corner

It is no coincidence that my article falls in line with our “Meet Your Neighbors” section in this month’s publication. I’d like to reiterate the very warm welcome to our community. I’d also like to not only introduce The Hideabout Newspaper to these newest members, but also reintroduce the newspaper to all our readers. There are sections often overlooked, that I am going to use this little soapbox to highlight. Many readers, (including myself in years past) often skim these pages, stop on an article or advertisement that piques interest, and then perhaps plop it on their coffee table until the next issue hits stands the following month. Then, throughout that month, day to day life is happening. You are trying to decide what to do for dinner, or plan weekend activities for friends that are heading here to visit. Maybe you are looking for those dinner options because there is a problem with your stove? Then, out of nowhere, that red light and alarm on your grinder pump goes off!

Any one of these scenarios might have you frustrated and reaching for the phone to ask social media friends for ideas for weekend plans, or googling “repair man near me.” However, the answers to all these scenarios, AND MORE, have all been quietly sitting on your coffee table. Neatly folded in the pages of that Hideabout you cruised through last week, are many valuable reference tools: Amenity information like Menus for our Food & Beverage locations, as well as a daily breakdown of Recreation Activities are updated and included monthly.

Important phone numbers for any and every Hideout department you could think of too (some right here on this page and more on page 9)

From Public Safety, to ask questions about checking in those weekend visitors, to Recreation, for details about those activities listed or The Clubhouse, to book your dinner reservations, it’s all here.

Each paper even includes a section submitted directly from RS&W with water updates, and emergency contacts for those grinder pump issues.

Many options for a handyman or contractor to tackle those more advanced around the house repairs are also throughout the paper.

These are just a few of the resources always available, including a section straightforwardly titled, “Important Information you should know.”

The best way to navigate the paper quickly is by consulting either the Table of Contents on the cover of every issue (to track down departmental specific info), or the Advertisers’ Directory on the back page (for a list of local businesses included in The Hideabout that service our community).

Whether you are one of our new neighbors picking up The Hideabout for the first time, or a long-time reader: I invite you to peruse its pages and not hesitate to reach out and let me know if there is information you think would be valuable to include.

Welcome to the Community!

Please join us in welcoming our newest Members of The Hideout! These are homeowners who've recently bought a home and completed registration with the POA. We wish you years of health, happiness and memories here!

A very warm WELCOME to....

Pro Shop Corner

looks to be another great year at the Hideout Golf Course. The cart paths on holes 7 and 8 are currently in the process of being replaced and should be completed in a couple of weeks, weather permitting. There will not be any price increases on greens, cart fees and golf pass fees this season. Golf passes should be available on or around May 1st at the POA office.

Plans are going forward to install a driving range near the Laurel Park camp grounds. A timetable has not been established as of yet.

Below you will find the tentative golf tournament schedule for 2024. We are restarting the “Play for Pink” Tournament this year. This is a fundraiser for breast cancer research. I am in need of volunteers to assist me in raising funds for this great cause. Please call the Pro Shop and leave your name and phone number if you would like to assist in this worthy cause. I will contact you to set up our first meeting sometime in May. Thank you in advance.

Tentative League start dates, based on 2023’s schedule, are as follows:

Thursday Night Men’s League will kick-off their season on May 9th. Their league runs through September 5th. Last year’s members will be contacted. There will not be a meeting for the Thursday Night Men’s League. If you are interested in the Thursday Night League, please call the Pro Shop at extension 180 and we will sign you up.

The Tuesday Morning Men’s League starts two weeks later on May 21st and runs through August 27th. The meeting for the Tuesday League will be held on Tuesday, May 14th at 9:00am. The meeting is in the pool room, located directly across from the Pro Shop. The Thursday HASG League will start on Thursday, May 30th and runs until September 5th. We are awaiting more information on the start date of the Hideout Women’s Golf League, please stay tuned.

WOMEN’S GOLF LEAGUE –

MONDAYS & FRIDAYS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER

If you like playing golf, meeting new people and having an enjoyable Monday and/or Friday morning on the links, we welcome old and new players alike. You do not have to be an expert golfer to join. We WELCOME women of all abilities.

Opening day starts on May 31st and ends on August 30th with a group lunch at the Clubhouse on Friday, August 30th. However, many of us continue playing right through the fall, weather permitting. Most games will be played at the Hideout although we will try to book one day in July and one in August at other courses within a 30-minute drive from the HO just for some variety.

Members are required to pay $10 in dues which is used for prize money throughout the season as we will often incorporate fun games, i.e. lowest number of putts, 3-club play, best team score in a scramble, etc. In addition, we’re asking everyone to pay $5.00 to the pro shop to obtain a Hideout handicap. You will need to have 5 scores recorded to obtain that handicap. Ideally, we’d like everyone to have a handicap by mid-July.

If interested, please email Carolyn Hanel at cbhanel@ gmail.com or Lili Mahlab (Seiden) at lilimahlab@gmail.com.

HASG Golf League

Wow!It’s golf time again!! Our league has grown far beyond what I would have imagined when John Hinton asked me to take it over four years ago. Carol had run it for so many years and done such great job that I was nervous about taking it on. Thanks, Carol, for all your hard work! We have grown from 32 people in the league to 72 which is full capacity and a waiting list!

The league has grown due to all my friends and associates who have helped me along with ideas and physical help. I would like to thank them at the beginning of this season because many people don’t realize how much work is involved in making this league run. First of all, there are our CAPTAINS who are so patient with the beginners and help them in every way, and of course, we have our friendly photographer, ROB TROMBLEY who never gets in our group picture because he is taking the picture and organizing everyone. My other two friends; DALE CONLON and MIKE HANBURY who never make a sound but are always there to help me out, BILL WAGNER who has enough on his plate but still takes the takes the time to talk at every meeting while Audrey and I are in Florida. And let’s not forget our president “MARGE CONLON” who has done a great job with HASG and added many new FUN things like karaoke, dances and many more. Audrey and I almost wish we were here this winter because all my

friends were having so much fun! Notice I said “almost”. No, really, thanks all of you, this league wouldn’t be what it is without you guys and gals.

The HASG league is a Captain’s best ball league golf League which is part of the HASG club. The HASG golf League takes over when the bowling league, run by Rick and Reggie Hadley is finished. Our golf league was started to develop a social league in keeping within the tenets of the HASG club. We play with a different foursome every week and never with our husband, wife or partner. What sense would that make, everyone already knows their partner! At the end of the season, every golfer should play with 42 different people if they play all 14 days. (May 30th thru September 5th.)

If you are new to the Hideout or just want to have a great time, try the HASG Club and it’s Bowling and Golf leagues. We are an active part of the Hideout and we have two of our golfers running for the Board this year; our president- MARGE CONLON and MIKE HANBURY, please support them and also our existing golfers who are already on the BoardLou Delli Santi, Robert Trombley and of course Bill Wagner.

ENVIRONMENTAL PAGE

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

Greetings. The final evenings and mornings nearing freezing temperatures are seemingly behind us, and bright, sunny days are here to stay. Here is what to look out for in the month of May!

Fires: Ensure that all use of firepits complies with state, and Hideout rules in regards to burning. Use manufactured fire rings within your fire pit (if your fire pit is stone), make sure to use a spark arrestor (especially important during dry conditions). Follow along with burn ban/ risk notices via the Hideout email blast, PADCNR website, and township websites. We ask that members use extreme caution at all times, but specifically when conditions are dry, and pose a risk of forest fires.

Fishing: Anyone 16 or older must possess a valid PA Fishing license. Fishing is permitted on Hideout Lakes: Roamingwood, Brooks and Deerfield. Fishing licenses can be purchased online through the “huntfish.pa.gov” website, or in person at a local sports shop. All Hideout fishing regulations are available at hideoutassoc.com/ Amenities/Environmental/Lakes

Lakes: Microbac testing will commence in all three lakes for E. coli by mid-May, and will continue through the beginning of September. Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) monitoring of all three lakes will continue throughout the summer, and beginning of September.

Please report suspicious algae to the Environmental Manager when sighted. HABs tend to resemble a green colored paint spill on the water’s surface.

NWF (National Wildlife Federation): Please consider registering your Hideout property as certified wildlife habitat through the NWF. Applications are available at the POA building, nature trail entrance, and NWF website. 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, however The Hideout will cover this $20 fee for all residents who seek registration of their property.

For any questions regarding certifying property as NWF wildlife habitat and to register your property, please email the Environmental Manager (pmatarazzo@thehideout. us) for a link providing online registration, or stop by the POA office for a paper application!

What’s “Hiding Out” in Our Community this Month?

What’s “Hiding Out” in our community this month? May 2024 Edition

Duringthe beginning of summer, specifically the month of May in the Northeast, many animals are getting ready to raise their offspring. As a resident of a rural area, it is important to stay informed of what animals may be having their young and how to safely enjoy them from a distance. The most important thing one can do is not interfere, and let nature take its course. Nine times out of ten, wild animals do not need human intervention. Below you will find some of our local animal’s young that you may see strolling through our beautiful wooded community!

Whitetail Deer

The obvious. Most who have enjoyed The Hideout for some time now have seen their fair share of whitetail deer fawns. They are the most abundant, and visible wildlife offspring that we experience every spring. Deer fawns will begin to pop up during mid-May, and can continue through mid-June. Deer will stash their young in many different hiding places, often times in places where humans observe them. It is important to remember that while their mothers may not be around, they placed their young there for a reason. Enjoy their presence, but do not attempt to interact with fawns! It is also always a good idea to keep pets away from deer fawns. We all know dogs love to chase fawns when they get the opportunity.

Fox / Coyote Pups

While much, much less visible, both species of canines rear their offspring in the spring as well. Generally, canines have a short gestation (pregnancy) period, about 50-70 days. Pups will be born in spring, but remain in their dens until mid/ late summer. Pups can be seen in and around dens before then, but do

not venture too far. Both species of pups are born throughout April and May. While many who are unfamiliar with the species, specifically coyotes may fear their presence, they are generally afraid of humans, and avoid dwellings. However, it is always a good idea to monitor your pets, and keep them away from den sites.

Birds

Many different species of birds will lay eggs, and rear offspring this spring and summer. All birds ranging anywhere from the small American Goldfinch, to the much larger Eastern Turkey, will select their nest sites and raise their young in the upcoming months. It is of the utmost importance that you do not touch or disturb egg sites for any species of bird. Birds do not take well to human interaction with their young/ eggs, and will often abandon the nest site entirely. Eggs/ young have nearly zero chance of survival if abandoned by their parents. Throughout the month of May, Tom (male) eastern turkey can be seen strutting in open areas with their fan (tail feathers) fanned out and gobbling to impress potential mating partners. Whether it’s your first, or 100th time witnessing this, the process is very neat to observe! Remember, spring is a wonderful time of year, that allows us to observe colorful blooms, and young wildlife beginning their journey through life. But we must only observe them. It is important to appreciate from a distance, and allow wildlife ample space to thrive. If you feel something may be wrong with an animal or their offspring, please reach out to myself (Paul Matarazzo) via email or phone to discuss the situation. If an animal truly does need human intervention, I can help you sort through the situation, and determine who needs to be contacted to best help the animal.

The Hideout Nature Trail Clean Up

By: Katy Foley

On the morning of April 20th, The Environmental Department along with the Wildlife Forestry Committee and volunteers got together to pick up garbage and clean up debris along The Hideout’s Nature Trail. Participants were given snacks to start, and trash pickers, garbage bags and safety gloves.

Meeting ended at: 9:35 Motion: Paul Spiese 2nd Tom McCleary

Next Meeting: Friday, 4/12/23, 9:00 at the POA Board Room

Paul Matarazzo, The Hideout’s Environmental Manager, distributed complimentary native wildflower seed packets to those who participated to plant them at home. Although there was not much garbage to collect, we’re happy to report that several bags of garbage were collected, making the Nature Trail even more beautiful.

“I do the clean up every year and I really enjoy it” said Christine Foley, a member of The Hideout for 19 years. “We had such great weather for this today, and it’s great to see

volunteers interested in making our community a better place. A lot of people don’t even know it exists,” Christine said. “Once they find it and realize how nice it is, I find they utilize it frequently.”

The Nature Trail is a 2.88 mile long rural hiking path through The North Side of The Hideout. The entrance to the trail is right across from the last hole of The Hideout’s Golf Corse. It was formerly known as “The Walking Trail”, but was renamed a few years ago due to the fact that the terrain is rough, muddy, uneven and hilly in some areas. Stollers, sandals, and very young children are advised not to use in this amenity. To get the most out of our Nature Trail, please make sure you wear hiking shoes, muck boots, and appropriate clothing so you can enjoy without hassle. Parking for this amenity is right at The Clubhouse near the golf practice area.

Thank you to those who participated in this wonderful tradition. If you are interested in joining The Hideout’s Wildlife and Forestry Committee, or have any questions regarding the Hideout’s ecosystem, please contact Paul Matarazzo at 570-698-4100 ext. 120 or email him at pmatarazzo@ thehideout.us. We hope to see you next April at our annual Earth Day Nature Trail cleanup!

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

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. ■

REAL ESTATE

Selling or Buying A Home: Offers and Counteroffers

By: Terri Ditty, Associate Broker

To help you navigate the journey of selling your home or buying your next home, here is some perspective on counteroffers before you find yourself in negotiations.

People often have preconceived notions about offers and counteroffers. For instance, some people assume every offer requires a counteroffer. This isn’t always the case. Sometimes when a reasonable offer presents itself and the conditions are right, it’s perfectly fine to accept an offer and move forward as quickly as possible. As you review offers, it’s important to keep this in mind.

Be sure to weigh an offer appropriately. As you entertain offers or make counteroffers, take into account your desires with the property in question, the condition of the house, comparable prices, and how long the home has been on the market. You should also look at opportunities where you might improve offers to smooth the process or sweeten the deal.

Finally, it’s very important to put small details in perspective. There may be times when an offer can be overshadowed by a relatively insignificant sticking point. Often these are emotional blocks to an otherwise excellent deal. Home buying and selling is a complex process, and though there is a strong desire for everything to be perfect, the experience is often comes with necessary compromises. It’s vital to be able to differentiate between what can and cannot be compromised.

Go forth in the spirit of negotiation and arrive at a win-win scenario that gets you to the closing table; quickly, smoothly and successfully.

He noted that this property 3E Lacawac was sold after the Township notified them of the problem of short-term rental. The new owner contacted the Township and applied for a permit. Attorney Treat noted that the Township cannot enforce deed restrictions. Mr. Florentino questioned why the Township wouldn’t recognize restrictions. Attorney Treat then read Judge Meagher’s recited order on a short-term rental in Ruffed Grouse development. Mr. Florentino would like the Township to support the residents. He noted maybe the Township could try and support this and set precedence and possibly case law. Attorney Treat noted that the township has no enforcement authority on deed restrictions, he suggested that the property owners in that area with those deed restrictions file against the property owner. Mrs. Florentino questioned the application for short-term noting they do not have a local contact person and that George Helm is not within the 30-minute access. She further questioned where and who to call on weekends when violations occur it was advised to contact Preferred Management at their phone number it is a monitored phone. It was noted that the state may have to in the future to enact legislation for these types of activities. Mr. Florentino thanked the Township for their time.

Spring clean-up day scheduled for May 11th, 2024 for township residents and property owners only. Permits will be required and are free. The township has noticed a past influx of non-property owner/residents and just want to be sure so permits will be provided.

Road projects for 2024 reviewed. Altemier, Savitz, Catterson and Sledzinski roads will be double tar and chip with fog seal bid packets will be advertised for opening at the April

Attorney Updates: Mr. Laudenslauger is challenging his restriction for 3-bedroom house for short term rentals. Attorney Treat will meet with his Attorney on March 18th at Attorney Zimmer’s office. If continued request and hearing requested their will need to be charges applied for stenographer and Attorney. The Township stands with the state requirements of sewage flow. He has a 1000-gallon septic tank which by law sets the standard of a 3-bedroom dwelling. Gary Enslin Township SEO noted if he changed the septic tank to an aerobic tank he would be allowed 4 bedrooms. Attorney Treat will handle meeting and advise.

Correspondence: Lake Ariel Fire department provided the Township with its February activity report. Real estate transfer tax for the month of February received in the amount of $11,927.58.

Bills reviewed for the month and a motion to approve and pay as presented was made by Vincent Rivezzi 2nd by Robert Wittenbrader with all in favor.

Park updates: Just noted extreme weather very wet. Question on leash for dogs. Noted leashing is required.

Public Time: Chris Leone questioned the Board as the Scordo subdivision approved in 1995. He had a map of the private drive showing the width of the right-of-way and where the current cartway is plotted. Concern over it not being in the middle of the right-of-way. Township noted they do not survey or measure cartway’s after installation. They also noted that as long as it was within the right-of-way as mapped, they have no issue and do not issue any certificate that would show approval of driveway as built. DEP has not filed their contempt of court yet against the tire disposal and pile at Mt Cobb Hwy. Supervisor Rivezzi spoke Adam from Monroe County who is working on spraying

for mosquitos. He agreed the pile is huge and need to be addressed. He noted he will monitor the area and spray as needed. Mike Keryger spoke and noted that last month he spoke on water issues around his property in Indian Rocks. Mr. Keryger noted that concern over diverting water within the community and around certain properties. He also advised of areas on his property that are pooling water and wasn’t an issue until the neighbor changed his water runoff. Advised neighbor can’t divert water onto his property and that would be civil issue between him and his neighbor. He commented that he requested from Indian Rocks the erosion and sediment control plan from that property change and they won’t provide it. Township then advised again that because its on an Indian Rocks Road and between him, the neighbor and the Association it would be civil and he would need his own Attorney.

With no other business or comments a motion to adjourn was made by Vincent Rivezzi 2nd by Robert Wittenbrader with all in favor.

Safety First in Work Zones

By Judie Nuskey

Work Zones are temporary. Actions behind the wheel can last forever. Road construction is often an unwelcome sight, but it’s a reality you can’t get away from during spring and summer. With more road work in progress, it’s essential to follow tips like these to minimize delays, reduce your crash risk, and avoid high fines. Warmer temperatures make spring and summer the perfect time for road construction projects. You may find these work zones frustrating, but keep in mind that they demand more focus and attention for safety’s sake. Following a few easy tips can reduce your risk and make the task of driving through work zones simpler and safer.

Know what’s coming. Road construction can cause traffic backups, especially if lanes are closing. If you know what to expect, you may be able to alter your route or leave earlier to compensate. The key is to check before you depart. Besides your local TV and radio news, local department of transportation web sites are often good sources for road work alerts. Smartphone apps like Waze can help along the way, too.

Slow down. Speed limits are reduced in construction zones to keep road workers and passing motorists safe. Watch for evidence that you’re coming up on a work zone (including cones, barrels, and signage) and begin to reduce your speed early. You’ll often see notices of higher fines for speeding in work zones. With or without such warnings, reduce your speed in these areas for safety’s sake.

to begin merging early, while in heavier traffic it’s better to use the “zipper” method: All drivers stay in their lanes until just before the point of the merge, where cars alternate letting each other in. The zipper method is designed to allow traffic to flow quicker and smoother, but it requires motorists to wait until the point of the merge and then be willing to take turns merging there— something most drivers aren’t accustomed to doing.

Stay focused. Distraction is a major contributor to vehicle crashes, especially in close conditions. If you’re distracted you won’t notice if traffic patterns are changing, lanes are closing, or the vehicles ahead of you are slowing—which are all common in work zones.

Maintain your distance. It’s always important to keep a safe following distance. It becomes even more essential in work zones, given all the changes happening. Even if road work delays you, don’t be tempted to tailgate. Stay at least three seconds behind the vehicle ahead of you in good weather and double that distance to six seconds in the rain.

Keep a wide berth. In construction zones you’ll often find workers stationed close to passing traffic. If possible, avoid driving in the lane directly next to them. If you can’t, then stay centered in your lane so you’re not too close to road workers.

Merge safely. When road work shuts down a lane, use caution while merging. NHTSA advises that in light traffic, at highway speeds, it’s best

Road work projects help ensure the highways and other roads we travel are up to the task. But highway work zones make for a challenging driving environment. While your immediate concern may be slowed traffic and delays, the bigger issue is the increased risk in work zones and the need for greater focus on the driving task.

The Importance of Good Posture

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

Good posture is more than just standing up straight; it is a cornerstone of good health and wellbeing. Proper posture ensures that your body is aligned correctly, reducing strain on muscles, joints, and ligaments.

One of the key benefits of good posture is improved spinal health. Maintaining the natural curves of the spine reduces the risk of developing conditions like back pain, herniated discs, and even arthritis. It also promotes better circulation, allowing blood to flow freely to vital organs and muscles.

Additionally, good posture can positively impact mood and energy levels. When you stand tall with your shoulders back and your head held high, you project confidence and authority. This can boost self-esteem and make you feel more assertive in social and professional settings.

Furthermore, proper posture is essential for optimal breathing. Slouching compresses the chest cavity, making it difficult to take deep breaths. By sitting and standing with proper alignment, you can maximize lung capacity and oxygen intake, leading to increased energy and alertness.

In today’s sedentary lifestyle, where many of us spend hours hunched over computers and smartphones, maintaining good posture is more important than ever. Incorporating posture-improving exercises and being mindful of your body positioning throughout the day can have longlasting benefits for your health and overall quality of life.

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.

PFAS National Primary Drinking Water Regulation

On April 10, 2024 The EPA released the final regulations and Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for 29 PFAS chemicals. The chemicals fall under (5) five Chemical Groups and (1) one group with a Hazard Index for a mixture of (2) two or more of the indicated chemicals. (See chart below for details).

In 2023, RS&W was required by the EPA to sample for the Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR5) 29 substances in April and October 2023. The initial results of these samples were very positive. All results were below the Maximum Reporting Level (MRLs).

RS&W ’s PaDEP Monitoring Requirements in 2024 were updated to include quarterly testing for PFOS (Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) and PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid). Any results of detected levels, will be required to report in our annual Water Quality Report beginning 2025. Results will also be made available upon request.

As always, we strive to provide the a safest drinking water possible to the community. We will continue to stay educated and informed of the new regulations. RS&W also has the distinct advantage of PFAS Expert, Community Member and sitting RS&W Board of Director, Dr. Lauren Weinrich, Ph.D. helping our organization stay abreast of the latest data regarding the initiative to protect consumers from future PFAS exposure. Her contributions have been vital and very much appreciated.

On a last note to our customers, most of our residents are part-time in the Hideout Community. RS&W encourages you to reach out to your local Drinking Water Provider for information regarding PFAS in your drinking water.
