FROM JERRY RESTAINO

President’s Message

NOVEMBER 2018 • 3

Interim General Manager’s Message

We are living in exciting times as I start my journey as the President of the POA Board of Directors. I approach that journey with a high level of enthusiasm and some trepidation knowing I will be working with extremely talented fellow Board members. The life experiences of all Board members are unique, which can only benefit the Hideout. Most importantly, it is my goal to maintain our Gold Star Community status. The survey that was conducted with the 2018 dues assessment shows that one-third of our residents are full-time and two-thirds are part-time. Using that survey we need to move forward and involve more residents in our community, be it on committees or becoming a Board candidate. We are a diverse community with so many hidden professional talents but for years we have not tapped into that talent. New ideas and suggestions are welcome as well as concerns, and yes, positive criticism. However, please be advised that I am not a fan of rumors, innuendos or distortions. We are in the budget season, and I worked closely with Donna Kiely and Tina Fairfax to address lagging salaries. That information was presented to the Budget Committee. We need to be more competitive with salaries because we lose employees/potential employees to local retailers. The 2019 budget is the starting point to enhance employee salaries which are being reviewed by the Board. It will probably take 2-3 years to make our salaries mature and career oriented for purposes of retention and recruitment of employees. The Board will be taking a very hard look at the POA organizational structure. I have created new Board committees and have already appointed Board members to those committees. All staffing positions - not just management positions - will be carefully reviewed by the Board, and no position is so sacrosanct that it will escape a review. It is quite possible that we may be looking at a new direction for a specific position. The goal of the review is to verify job responsibilities and guarantee that they are in sync with the needs of the community. If need be, we will shore up any areas that do not meet the goals of the Board. Longevity in service is a plus but it must be measured with what is best for our gated Four Season Recreational community. Always remember we are in the people business. We are blessed with various amenities that certainly meet the needs of our community. We need to make sure that all residents are aware of those amenities and work with members to maintain and enhance all amenities. BTW how many of our members dine at the Clubhouse at least two times a month? Foolish question; no just an observation. Hope to see you at the November 17 Board meeting. Have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving. Jerry Restaino

We have an App!!

As we approach Veterans Day, please take some time to acknowledge the dedication, sacrifice, and service of our armed services veterans. They have given of themselves to make our lives here at home in the United States safe, comfortable, and peaceful.

Please attend our Veterans Day Roll Call on Sunday, November 11, 2018 starting at 10:30AM at the Main Lodge. On behalf of our Veterans, please donate to a charity to help those who deserve our help and may need a hand. “A” and “A+” Rated Organizations for our Veterans and their families (per CharityWatch.org).

Congratulations and Welcome to the newly elected Board member, Larry Frotten, and to Marie Krauss and myself upon re-election for a second term on the Board. I look forward to working with the entire Board for another three years. My first task as returning Chairman was to facilitate the semi-annual Committee Chairpersons Luncheon on October 13. The program consisted of the following Committee Chairpersons: Budget, Environmental Control, Disciplinary, Nominating, Long Range Planning, Lakes, Public Safety, Food & Beverage, Public Works, Golf, Communications, Recreation & Parks, Laurel Park, Governing Documents, and Wildlife & Forestry. I am particularly grateful for all these volunteers, Hideout members who donate countless personal hours sharing their diverse talents and experiences within the committee(s) in which they are active. Without these people, the Hideout would not be what it is today. Because of their help, we are continually improving, and are even better today than yesterday. November is always a special month for me. The fall season with its marvelous colors, cooler weather, and many activities within the Hideout are just a start of the holiday season. Our “snowbirds” are heading south, the Recreation Center is gearing up for all the fun-filled fall activities we have in the Hideout, our Maintenance Department is busy “changing the seasons” and prepping for the upcoming winter, and our Members have lots of family party planning to do with the upcoming holidays. Thanksgiving Day (11/22) is a time to pause and reflect on family, friends, and where we live. Many people in the world do not have such blessings available to them. Always take time to hug your spouse and children, say thanks to a special friend, and be grateful for all that we have in the Hideout. The Hideout has been fortunate (by hard work) to experience a favorable year. The financials have improved over last year, the staff has accepted more responsibility within their respective areas, the amenities are in great condition, and we still are recognized as a Gold Star Premium Community by the Community Association Inc. All this because we as a community care about the Hideout Also, we owe our gratitude to all the Management and Staff personnel who keep the Hideout functioning all year long. I know it’s not always easy, but they continually meet the challenges of day-to-day operations. Your unsolicited “Thank You” would certainly brighten their day. There will be a short transitional phase to reorganize the new Board. After that, we will be planning focused objectives for 2019, establishing organizational and developmental goals, and setting the 2019 meeting schedule. There is much to be addressed and some changes are ahead. I am confident that by working together, Board, Staff, and Members, we will have more reasons to be Thankful! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Richard J. Straczynski

POA NEWS

FROM JOE KOZUCH, PUBLIC SAFETY MANAGER

Public Safety Corner As the leaves are changing and the nights are getting colder it's time to start firing up those fireplaces, wood stoves and gas heaters. With the start of the heating season there are a few important safety precautions that you should take to insure the safety of your home and family.

SMOKE DETECTORS Smoke is responsible for three out of four deaths. • Install smoke detectors on every level of your home and outside of sleeping areas. • Test every detector at least once a month. • Keep smoke detectors dust free. Replace batteries with new ones at least once a year, or sooner if the detector makes a chirping sound. • If you have a smoke detector directly wired into your electrical system, be sure that the little signal light is blinking periodically. This tells you that the alarm is active. • Inexpensive smoke detectors are available for the hearing impaired. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS They remain your best bet if you're on the spot when a fire begins. • Fire extinguishers should be mounted in the kitchen, garage, and workshop.

•

Purchase an ABC type extinguisher for extinguishing all types of fires. Learn how to use your fire extinguisher before there is an emergency. Remember, use an extinguisher on small fires only. If there is a large fire, get out immediately and call 911 from another location.

THINKING AHEAD: Your Exit Plan As with other things, the best motto is, "Be Prepared." • Prepare a floor plan of your home showing at least two ways out of each room. • Sleep with your bedroom door closed. In the event of fire, it helps to hold back heat and smoke. But if a door feels hot, do not open it; escape through another door or window. • Easy-to-use window escape ladders are available through many catalogues and outlet stores. For instance, First Alert sells one for around $90. continued on page 18

FROM ROBERT BRINSFIELD, FACILITIES MANAGER

Public Works Corner

Recent trade wars with China have trickled down to affect even items such as recycling. In recent years, China would take much of the single stream recycling and re-purpose them into resalable products. Both plastics and paper were shipped overseas to be broken down and remade into marketable goods. However, due to recent tariffs, China has shut the door on the US import of recycled goods. This recent turn of events has left many municipalities and cities wondering what to do with an overflow of useless debris. Until the US reopens mills, and the industry finds a use for recyclables, storage of the goods becomes an issue as well as increased costs. Many communities are opting to mix recyclables into household trash while discontinuing their recycling program. To avoid this extreme resolution, the Hideout team is working with suppliers to find alternative methods to both maintain costs while helping to preserve the environment. Managing the solid waste will take the effort of everyone. Make sure that only clean recyclables go into the single stream bins. These would include washed out plastic and glass bottles without the lids, aluminum cans, clean paper, and tin cans. The items must be clean and washed. Cardboard with oil on it from servicing the car or grease on newspaper from a cookout is not cleaned and cannot be recycled. Kids toys, styrofoam, press boards shelves, plastic bags, and mini blinds do not go into the recycling bins. On a final note, if you see something, say something. If you suspect unauthorized dumping or a non-member at the trash site, call Public Safety. The number is (570) 698-4100 ext. 142.

FROM RYAN HILL, M.S.ED, ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGER

Environmental Corner Greetings! Fall has arrived and with it, changing weather patterns. Please be safe while around the lakes, especially as things begin freezing. Community members are reminded that no ice-fishing or ice-skating is permitted here at The Hideout. Please be sure to enjoy the upcoming late fall/ early winter months and to pay attention for both indoor and outdoor events. Community members are reminded that recreational hunting activities are not permitted within The Hideout. Please visit local State Game Lands to practice the safe pursuit of wild game and always ensure you meet the necessary licensing and fluorescent orange requirements. There is a strict “No Feeding of Wildlife” ordinance in place here at The Hideout so please ensure you are not providing food sources for outdoor critters or you could face hefty fines. Bird feeders are permitted but must be a minimum of 8 feet off the ground and cannot be attached to trees. If you are still raking up leaves, please bag them up and dispose of them accordingly. Do not place raked leaves in your ditches and swales as they will hinder those areas from properly dispersing storm water, which can cause larger issues. To avoid citations and fines, please familiarize yourself with our environmental rules and regulations. Some of the most commonly encountered issues are Objects Attached to Trees, Unmasked Propane Tanks, and lacking appropriate permits for work performed outside the home. When a permit is ready, our office will contact you either by phone or email. Please come to the Registration Desk in the POA office to pick it up and log it out. Permits are to be attached to the address post so they are visible from the roadway. When the project is complete, please sign and date the permit and return it to our office so we can close out our files.

All rules and regulations, as well as permits, are available online at http://www. hideoutassoc.com/ or can be accessed by visiting the POA office Tues-Sat, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Community members are encouraged to learn about the Spotted Lanternfly, an invasive insect that has been spreading across Pennsylvania causing tremendous agricultural harm. Educational pamphlets and brochures on the insect are available throughout the community or by contacting our office. If you feel you might have SLF on your property, please notify me immediately. Be sure to “Recycle Right”! We’ll be focusing educational efforts for the community on how to correctly recycle so be sure to keep an eye out for those details. When in doubt, give our office a call and we will be happy to tell you if it's recyclable or not. We are continuing to explore various avenues to address our feral cat problem here at The Hideout. We anticipate hosting additional educational opportunities for the community regarding this unique problem throughout the fall and winter. Those events will be advertised in advance, indicating dates, times, and locations. We appreciate the communities patience while we find the most tactful way to address this issue. The Environmental Department now has an Instagram account available for all to view. Be sure to follow and like our posts by visiting “HideoutEnvironmental” on the free app, or by visiting http://www. hideoutassoc.com/Amenities/Lakes and clicking on the “Instagram” tab at the bottom of the page.

Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association Master Plan Update

PAVING ANNOUNCEMENT FROM Jack Lennox, Executive Director RS&W First and foremost, the SWCWSA and RS&W organization would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to the community members for their patience and cooperation throughout this entire Infrastructure Replacement Project. This project was the largest of its kind presently in North America and our community now stands as a model for many other sewer and water systems who now face this same challenge and hope to achieve the success we have. It has not gone unrecognized, the financial burden that has been placed on the members of this community. Our organization is still committed to making our service and our standards of practice worthy of it, to our customers. The final run: As construction approaches Substantial Completion of the third and final stage, crews will be working through the winter on final resto-

ration of properties to their former conditions. Property restorations will continue until all issues have been addressed. All driveways will be addressed, temporarily, as needed for the coming winter months. All streets will receive a scratch coat of paving to allow for smooth driving and plowing, as well, through the winter. The Final Paving Program has been postponed to the Spring of 2019. Due to the historic rainfall we have experienced this summer and autumn, this decision was at the recommendation of the project’s professional engineers to postpone. This will allow for any hidden problems to surface in the interim and our crews to address before the final pave is applied.

Once again, Thank You for your continued cooperation and understanding.

As we enter in November 2018, the third and final stage of our Sewer and Water Infrastructure Replacement Project is winding down. All of the pumps are installed and the majority of the work remaining is paving and property restoration. Unfortunately, with the copious amount precipitation that has fallen throughout the duration of Stage 3, restoration has been delayed. During the small windows of dry weather, our contractor is doing their very best to restore as many properties as possible, but a large portion of the restoration will be completed in the Spring of 2019. At this point, any house that does not have a Control Panel or a Retrofit Pump installed is Non-Compliant, meaning an EcoTran pump basin was installed at the street, the wire was run to the nearest corner of the house or to the location of the electric meter and water and sewer services have been shut off. A letter of notification, advising of the Termination of Services for Non-Compliance is sent out to all Non-Compliant property owners. To reinstate water and sewer service, the Control Panel must be installed by a licensed electrician at your expense. If you have any questions, please call the Project Management Office at (570) 698-6162 option 2. For more up-to-date construction info, please checkout the monthly distributed Hideabout newspaper and visit our website at www.roamingwood.com. Miller Road Detour: To avoid detours and delays in the south section of the Hideout, closest to the Main Gate, please utilize the Miller Road detour, highlighted in purple on the map to the left.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED

Do You Know What’s Causing Your Neck Pain?

Rt. 590 (NEXT TO HAMLIN POST OFFICE)

Neck pain may arise due to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, or pinching of the nerves coming from the cervical vertebrae. Joint disruption in the neck creates pain, as does joint disruption in the upper back. Neck pain can be caused by sudden trauma such as a fall, sports injury, or car accident, or by long-term problems in the spine. The majority of neck pain cases do not require surgery and respond best to physical therapy. As a physical therapist, I design individualized treatment programs for each patient to reduce or eliminate pain, regain normal movement, and get them back to their daily activities.

Some ways to prevent neck pain are: • • • •

maintain good posture (while sitting, standing & during activities) use proper body mechanics when lifting, pushing, pulling or any action that could put extra stress on your spine keep muscles strong & flexible with regular physical activity maintain a healthy weight

Neck pain does not have to be a part of your daily life. Getting to the bottom of what’s causing it is first & foremost. Call your physical therapist for an evaluation today!

Your Health. Your Care. Your CHOICE.

570-689-7786

By: Bernard J. Povanda, PT, COMT, Direct Access Certified Neck pain (or cervicalgia) is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives. Neck pain, although felt in the neck, can be caused by numerous other spinal problems.

HIDEOUT QUILTERS SEMI-ANNUAL SALE

The Hideout Quilters would like to thank all who participated and made their semi-annual sale a huge success. It was held at the at the Quilters Room downstairs at the Clubhouse on Saturday, October 6. Available for sale were many of their handcrafted articles and keepsakes. The revenue derived from this semi-annual event enables the Quilters to purchase material and other items needed to create their handmade treasures. Over the past years, they have donated thousands of Quilts, Walker Bags, Pillow Cases, and Heart Safe Pillows to local hospitals and nursing homes. They receive no outside funding and rely on donations to finance their projects. Thank you to all who participated. Agnes Furst -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thank you I have truly enjoyed working for the Hideout for the past 22 years as your Community Relations Manager, and I realize how fortunate I have been to be part of such a wonderful community. As I finish my last Hideabout Newspaper (240 + issues under my belt) my thoughts are both excited and sad.

Agree on a fixed location out-of-doors where family members are to gather for a head count. Stay together away from the fire. Call 911 from another location. Make certain that no one goes back inside the burning building. Check corridors and stairways to make sure they are free of obstructions and combustibles. To help cut down on the need for an emergency exit in the first place, clear all unnecessary items from the attic, basement, garage, and closets.

FIREPLACE Remember, you're deliberately bringing fire into your home; respect it. • Use a fireplace screen to prevent sparks from flying. • Don't store newspapers, kindling, or matches near the fireplace or have an exposed rug or wooden floor right in front of the fireplace. • Have your chimney inspected by a professional prior to the start of every heating season and cleaned to remove combustible creosote build-up if necessary. • Install a chimney spark arrester to prevent roof fires. • When lighting a gas fireplace, strike your match first, then turn on the gas. FURNACE/SPACE HEATERS Used improperly, a space heater can be the most dangerous appliance in your house. • Install and maintain heating equipment correctly. Have your furnace inspected by a professional prior to the start of every heating season. • Don't store newspapers, rags, or other combustible materials near a furnace, hot water heater, space heater, etc. • Don't leave space heaters operating when you're not in the room. • Keep space heaters at least three feet away from anything that might burn, including the wall. • Don't use extension cords with electrical space heaters. The high amount of current they require could melt the cord and start a fire. • When lighting a gas space heater, strike your match first, then turn on the gas. • Never use a gas range as a substitute for a furnace or space heater.

Princeton Hydro came back and cleaned up by the dam. C. Durkin got some conflicting comments about the cutting – some said it was the best ever, others not so good. He added that Princeton Hydro has to be aggressive in the cutting, especially to keep the middle of the lake open. T. Jeffers feels that all lily pads need to be completely eradicated but C. Durkin feels that those near the shoreline have been effective in reducing the grass there as the lily pads soak up phosphates and serve as a fish habitat.Iggy reported a loose paddleboat near the dam.

One of his major projects is to correctly allocate to the correct line items. In his opinion, it might take a full fiscal year to dive deep but is confident within a year’s time with his experience correctly allocating direct line items appropriately it will be corrected. -Assistant Recreation Manager stated he has been keeping statistics for boat registrations over the past few years and forecast for the upcoming year and sometimes people don’t register their boats so when they are down ten power boats and ten jet skis that is $1800. -Question if there is someone in the department making phone calls to notify members on the list. -Recreation Manager stated there is definitely someone in the office being proactive. -Question if they have a wait list for Laurel Park in which they do. -Assistant Recreation Manager stated people are trying to bring in bigger vehicles but they do not have a spot for the bigger vehicles. -Question if it is true that there was some consideration of expanding spaces at the campgrounds. -Recreation Manager stated there has been some discussion but feels it would be more like re-organizing. -Question about woodshop supplies regarding the $1000. -Recreation Manager stated he believes there was a broken saw that had to be replaced which caused it to be in the red. -Statement that the saw wasn’t $1,000. -Assistant Recreation Manager stated some monies go towards maintenance and repairs so it’s a combination not just the woodworkers. -Question if we could keep the pools open a little earlier or longer. -Recreation Manager stated he would look into that but there is certainly a cost that would be incurred such as the money to run chemicals. Plus the issue of lifeguards which is a known fact they are young people in high school or college that might leave the area. Basically it could be looked into but if it was done this year it would’ve only been three days. Stated there are trends at other places he has worked where there is not a lot of value

with it and it becomes a deficit. -Statement that the art center also has programs coming up at the end of September. Such as, wreath making, beaded jewelry making, acrylic board sponsored by the VFW and a variety of others. Reminded members to check the TV and written materials at the gate. -Statement that Ian Ritter who owns Ritters down the road is starting a wine process and is wondering if the art center and Food & Beverage could have a wine tasting at the art center. Feels we don’t encourage it enough and we have a lot of great artists. -Recreation Manager stated he would be open to discuss that further but would need to look into the liquor license and rules and regulations. -Food & Beverage Manager stated she has dealt with Ian and actually carries his wines up at the Clubhouse too which go on special once in a while. Facilities Manager, Robert Brinsfield: • For August there were 205 service work orders generated with 133 completed and 72 rolled over to September. • Regarding trash and recycling there was 179 tons of trash hauled away and 32 recycling pulls which is full single stream recycling. • Used 1,353 gallons of gas and 1,492 gallons of propane which is for pools, clubhouse and lodge to run the kitchens. • The numbers combined between maintenance and trash is $867 favorable. Trash is $13,673 unfavorable which he will get into a little bit about in his article. • Completed capital is at $28,717 favorable. Have two trucks outstanding due in next week. Have a couple storm water projects that are on the agenda for discussion and the Tiki deck repair which is lined up for October. • Stated essentially if someone has an issue with the RS&W project first thing to do is make sure you call and enter extension 2 to make a report so they can work it into their system. Sometimes they don’t get back to someone and so he and the General Manager can essentially be a liaison to give the member a hand to initiate them on what they need to do. A few folks have reached out to the POA and we have assisted, however, reminded members to make sure they call RS&W to get into the system. A few of the things we have sent to them they never received information for which they need directly from the homeowner so they do what they need to. • Stated he put an article in the Hideabout for September as well as the USA today put an article in about the great pacific trash heap that is forming. This touches base on what is going on which is plastics are no longer being sent over to China. China made everything out of plastic. China has cut us off and now we have a bunch of plastic that we do not know what to do with. Plastic has essentially increased the recycling rates and it now costs twice as much to send out then it does to send out a ton of trash. The community needs to make sure only recycling is going into the containers because he has seen cigarette butts thrown in there and regular trash. Need to make sure we are only putting in clean plastic, aluminum, glass and paper. It is expensive to send the recycling and we need to make sure items are being distributed properly because we do not want to stop recycling. Stated is working on articles and constant communication to make sure everything is sorted properly.

-Suggestion to not just call RS&W but to fill out a complaint form with them because they seem to respond quicker. Also, they are leaving rocks too close to the roadways which can be a danger to our employees when plowing so did inform RS&W but feels we should go around to ensure they are moved. -Comment that we should make sure we are signing off on the culverts involved along the roadways so we do not have water freezing up on the roads in the winter. Because we paid for the roads and do not want them damaged. -Secretary stated he was on Parkwood and they have a deep culvert which is great but not much room between it and the road so it is going to collapse. -Facilities Manager stated they took video prior to Phase III. There are some key areas we are focusing on which was documented and sent over to RS&W to make sure they are restored to our satisfaction during the restoration phase. At the end of the project they do reach out to us to ensure everything is ok before the contractor leaves. -Asked if bottle caps should be thrown in the garbage in which they should be. -Facilities Manager stated caps are not recyclable. Also, stated the product should have a number 1 through 6 which are recyclable. Also, Styrofoam is not recyclable and is something he found in there. -Comment that if members see a white truck from the RS&W project to go out and talk to him because he gets things done. -Suggestion to monitor the trash/recycling area since there are quite a bit of guests in and out in the summer season. -Facilities Manager stated they are looking at ways to monitor this area more. -Clarification that all caps go in the trash not recycling which is correct. -Suggestion that the members should be told to fold down cardboard since this does not get compacted. -Complaint about road conditions on Lakeview Drive and swales along Lakeview Drive that are not big enough and cause water to drain into her yard. -Facilities Manager explained we cannot fix that until RS&W moves the current water main because if we dug in there it would collapse their line. Once they move the project over and activate the main sewer line then we can dig there. -Question if there can be another bulk day in which right now the POA is only budgeted for two.

The logistics are extremely complicated and with an office of only two people it becomes difficult. Is looking at a trap and release program and has contacted places all around the Tristate area. The process involves trapping the cats, planning in advance for a mobile unit to come on site and then to care for the cats the night of. Has one good lead called C Alley Cats of Wallenpaupack and is waiting to hear back from the individual. He has heard a lot of community support and wants to make sure we are approaching it in a very tactful manner. If we were to go guns blazing it would not be very effective and wants to educate the community on what the most effective way to go is.

Asked the membership to plan accordingly. • Established an Instagram account for the Hideout Environmental office and it has been pretty successful with documenting the beautiful amenities. Has a lot of ideas and anytime someone starts a job it takes some time to see what works and what does not work. One thing he is noticing that isn’t really effective or can be streamlined is the citation process. Has key numbers regarding ECC citations and identified what issues are and what has been being done since he’s come onboard has been being done in years leading up to him. Will be working on streamlining the process to make it more efficient and effective. • Explained he will be utilizing snapchat in order to be more efficient. When he is out and about he can take pictures, document them and email them. He is using this with the ECC Committee whenever a work permit is issued. He will go out and take a picture of a proposed propane tank or addition can make notes on it, save it and print it which helps them be more efficient and to the point.

Talking Points: Spotted Lanternfly Christmas Tree Risks Penn State Extension •

Christmas Trees have been a tradition for hundreds of years and bring the beauty and amazing scents of the outdoors into our homes for the holidays

•

Real trees are part of an outdoor ecosystem, thus there is always a chance that insects may be brought indoors with a tree

Change plays a big role in the aging process. As adults age, both their minds and bodies undergo changes. Changes associated with aging are not uniform. Some people may experience small changes as they inch toward and ultimately pass retirement age, while others may undergo changes that affect nearly every aspect of their lives. A general term used to describe symptoms associated with a decline in memory or thinking skills such as judgment and reasoning, dementia is often mistaken as a normal part of aging. However, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America notes that dementiarelated illnesses, including Alzheimer’s disease, are not a normal part of aging. Because many people associate memory loss with aging, they may be compelled to accept some of the early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s as mere by-products of growing older. However, the Alzheimer’s Association urges men and women to report any of these 10 early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s to their physicians the moment they’re noticed. Family members who notice these signs in their relatives also should report them to their loved ones’ physicians. 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life: Examples of this symptom include forgetting recently learned information; forgetting important dates and events; and asking for the same information over and over. 2. Challenges in planning or solving problems: Someone exhibiting this symptom may have trouble following a recipe or paying monthly bills. 3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home at work or at leisure: Forgetting the rules of a favorite game or experiencing trouble driving to a familiar location are some examples of this symptom. 4. Confusion with time or place: People with Alzheimer’s lose track of dates, seasons, and the passage of time. 5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships: Some people with Alzheimer’s have difficulty reading, judging distance, and determining color or contrast. 6. New problems with words in speaking or writing: Difficulty joining or continuing a conversation and calling things by the wrong name are some examples of this symptom. 7. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps: People with Alzheimer’s sometimes put things in unusual places and cannot retrace their steps to find those things. 8. Decreased or poor judgment: Poor judgment and decision-making often affects people with Alzheimer’s. 9. Withdrawal from work or social activities: People with this symptom may begin to withdraw from favorite activities or avoid being social because of the changes they’re experiencing. 10. Changes in mood and personality: Mood changes affect people with Alzheimer’s, who may become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful, or anxious.

Pickleball Benefits Older Adults By Deborah L. Vence,

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

Pickleball

That’s a funny name… what is pickleball anyway? Pickleball is a court sport best described as a cross between tennis and ping pong, and it first came to life due to a lack of badminton equipment. Players are equipped with a racquet, either wooden or made of composite materials, and played with a whiffle ball on what can be compared to a mini tennis court. The game is designed for players of all ages and skill levels,

making it the perfect family sport. Since its creation pickleball has swept the nation gaining popularity in communities in the southern states, in schools, and in recreational clubs. Veterans and new players are all welcome to join. Paddles are provided by Recreation for those who do not have their own equipment. Stop by on either of those days to get some exercise and learn one of the fastest growing sports in America.

GOLF NEWS

A golf tip from Larry Lutz, Hideout Golf Teaching Pro Did you ever wonder what the best ball position is when you’re putting? Here is something you can try which may help to find what works best for you. If you like to putt from a closed stance, try placing the ball closer to your forward foot. If you putt with a square stance, the ball should be lined up with the middle of your feet. If you like to putt with an open stance you should have the ball nearer your rear foot. Try all three different positions next time you practice your putting and see which one works best for you. I hope you find this tip helpful, but most of all, remember your good shots, learn from the bad shots and have fun.

From The Pro Shop

The area continues to receive a never ending record breaking rainfall. Now the cold has set in. Needless to say the course is still extremely wet. The Fall Classic was held on September 22. We had 66 participants who had a great time and the weather cooperated. Special thanks to Dave Miles and Frank Ciampa for sponsoring the event.

A tasty take on turkey just in time for Thanksgiving Secret family turkey recipes may reign supreme in some households, but holiday hosts with no such resources can consider this unique recipe for ”Holiday Turkey” from Andrew Schloss’ ”Cooking Slow” (Chronicle Books). By slow cooking the turkey, cooks can ensure it’s evenly cooked. Perhaps no day is more synonymous with a certain dish than Thanksgiving is with turkey. As tasty as turkey can be, this flavorful fowl doesn’t find its way onto many families’ dinner tables unless it’s Thanksgiving day. Holiday Turkey Makes 15 servings 1 fresh turkey, about 15 pounds, 2 teaspoons dried poultry seasoning preferably free-range Coarse sea salt and freshly 1 tablespoon olive oil ground black pepper 1 quart apple cider Remove the giblets from the turkey and discard (or save for another use). Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Rub it all over with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. During that time, the surface of the turkey will become visibly dry and the skin will tighten; this encourages a nice crisp skin on the finished bird. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before you plan to start roasting. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Put the turkey on a rack set in a large, flameproof roasting pan. Drizzle the oil over the top. Roast for 1 hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 175 F. Pour the cider into the roasting pan and sprinkle the poultry seasoning in the liquid. Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh (but not touching bone) registers to 170 F. Transfer the turkey to a carving board, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for about 15 minutes (see tip). Meanwhile, skim the fat from the surface of the liquid in the pan. Put the roasting pan over two burners and bring the pan drippings to a boil over high heat. Cook until the juices reduce and thicken slightly, enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Carve the turkey and serve with cider pan juices. Resting tip: Slow-roasted meats need far less resting time (pretty much none) than those that are traditionally roasted. The reason for resting meat that has been roasted at a high temperature is to allow juices that have collected in the cooler center time to migrate back into the dryer (hotter) exterior sections after it comes out of the oven. Because slow-roasted meats are cooked evenly and a temperature that keeps most of the juices in place, a resting period is largely unnecessary. A brief resting time does allow the meat to become a little firmer as it cools, making it easier to carve.

2018 Fall Festival and Hoedown

NOVEMBER 2018 • 35

The weather has been anything but kind this fall in our beautiful community. As we inched closer to the official start of our Annual Fall Festival, the dark clouds blew in. We crossed our fingers and just like that the sun broke out of the sky and as it seems the most beautiful day in weeks followed. As the tables were set up, and the band was tuning their instruments, our wonderful residents started walking in. We couldn’t be more thankful for such a beautiful day and the amazing participation by our community members. As the Juggernaut String band wowed people with their performances, kids were invited to play instruments and join the band.

winner. I can still smell both the wonderful pies. This year’s first-place pie was made by Barb Bythel. The pumpkin painting was like something from a book. With different themes and styles, it was truly breathtaking from the youngest division to the oldest. The community members had the judges working hard to pick a winner. With that being said I think everybody who participated walked out feeling like a winner.

We started the Fall Festival with our annual Apple pie baking contest. We had some wonderful judges that volunteered to taste the pies, and what a treat they were in for. When the contest was said and done, we came out with a winner. The judging couldn’t be tougher. The two pies went neck and neck but when the forks dropped we had a

Finally, the moment that everybody was waiting for. It was time for our Annual Scarecrow Scurry. As the teams lined up and gathered materials, it was great to see such an amazing participation. Teams made up of family and friends, and some teams made up of three generations of family members. Throughout the competition, the smiles the laughter, and the bonding was something truly worth watching. It made us proud to be part of such an amazing event. Thank you… The Recreation Department would like to thank all Community Members who participated. Everybody who came was a winner on Sunday. It made us feel wonderful to be a part of something so amazing. We are already counting down the days until next year!!! John Boandl, Recreation Programmer

Hideout 5K

A day started with steady rain showers, seems to be the new normal in our community. As we crossed our fingers the sun came out just in time for the race. The participants gathered in the Clubhouse parking lot for our Fall Hideout 5K. The participants stretched out sporting their new bright orange 5k Shirts that were included in the sign-up fee.

The runner’s gathered at the starting line and the horn sounded. At this moment the youngest participant would take the lead and never look back. Allie Mitchell would set a record pace and make it look easy. Allie finished the race with the time of 26.22 to take first place. Other notable finish times included: Megan Collins 26.44, Michelle Mitchell 29.40, Damien Russo 45.27, and Yvonne Russo 45.28. Every participant should be extremely proud of themselves for the effort, attitude, and amazing pride, they displayed today. We would like to thank the Hideout Clubhouse team for providing a pasta meal for the participants after the race. John Boandl, Recreation Programmer

Board of Director Draft Meeting Minutes continued from page 21 anyone has any questions on his methods to please approach him. -Question if we still have a critter control person. -Environmental Manager explained as mentioned before we have Palymra Wildlife onsite and they caught about five raccoons and four skunks in the past two weeks. -Concern about twice as many geese than last year at Deerfield and feels they did not do a good job. -Environmental Manager explained the process with geese laying their eggs in the spring and that he might have missed the opportunity. -Question if they can go on the property since this would be the only way they can capture the eggs. -Environmental Manager stated they monitor the shoreline and on the boat but is unsure on the specifics of that. -Concern about big rocks at the North Beach and asked if they can take them out. -Environmental Manager explained when looking at shoreline stabilization erosion control you want rocks along the shoreline which could have been there naturally or could have been placed there. Also, when looking at removing anything from water there is permitting processes so just removing a rock is not a simple process. -General Manager explained any time you look at removing something within the high watermark it does require a DEP permit. -Facilities Manager explained every spring when the water is low maintenance is allowed to go out and remove rocks but can’t use shovels or pick axes. -Request for more detail regarding motion 18-58 with work going to be done on swales on Lakeview West. -Chairman stated the request will be addressed when they get to the below motion. -Environmental Manager stated we have applied for a Palms and mini grant in the amount of $24,000 which would complement the ACT 13 Ridgeview work. -President commends the Environmental Manager on his use of technology. Financial Manager, Donna Kiely: • Stated the projected surplus for the year has gone down a bit from the last meeting but still looking at just under $30,000 for the year. Also, have a fully funded surplus from past years. • One item adjustment for the end of August 31 is $24,000 to the bad debt category. Believes the number for dues collection will be more of the 3635 not 3665 that was budgeted. For many years the number is more of the 3635. Good news that will offset that is the $17,000 interest income. The non-amenity income of $19,000 negative $24,000 was the negative of the bad debt and $17,000 was the positive interest income. For a while it was hard to get a .5% CD which was basically nothing. It is now at 2% for CDs which is beginning to have an effect. • Amenities are $16,000 ahead which is normal for different departments to offset each other. One of the hardest hit is golf due to the rainy season and the Ski area which did not have the best weather. • Stated the third page of the budget sheets is how we do our forecasting. • Capital expenditures year to date are $78,000 for new capital with a budget of $280,000 but there are still a few items to finish. One item is the Lakeview Drive walking path which should be finishing up this fall. •On capital reserve projects we have expended $1.4 through the 31st with a remainder of $661,000. The road paving

contract was paid during August. The biggest items left over are the storm water projects which are done after the summer as to not inconvenience anyone as well as the vehicles that are arriving shortly. Everything has been well budgeted and do not have any variable expenses in this area. • Dues billing is currently at 91% of the expected dollars. There are 3558 lots paid in full and the forecasted number is now going to be 3635 which is 92.9% as opposed to the original budget of 98.7%. • Delinquent dues have $51,000 of $84,000 collected through August which is 61%. • On the last page, it shows 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 and the number has been around 3635. • Is hopeful when the RS&W project is completed there will be no moratorium and we will be able to bring in more builders to pick up some of the unimproved properties. It is difficult with unimproved because people have started to slip between the higher water fees and dues which become a burden and difficult to collect. -Question if there is an increase in people not paying their amenity fees other than the unimproved. -Financial Manager explained the improved really do not have problems and if they do they generally are huge financial problems and drop into foreclosure and sheriff sale then come back on the market. The unimproved are the problem. -Clarification on the walk way expenditure which was there before. -Financial Manager explained they have added and take it around the entire lake 4ft. wide. -Question where they can get information about the walking path. -General Manager stated they can contact his office. He explained we had an opportunity when RS&W started the project to make a walking trail while the roads were being torn apart. -President stated the Long Range Planning Committee does put out what they are working on and then it pieces with what the Board approves. (Questions or comments with regard to Old Business) 4. Old Business: 18-50 MOTION RESOLVED TO approve Direct Energy’s contract as the Association of Property Owners of the Hideout, Inc.’s direct energy supplier at a rate of .06993 kwh, as recommended by management and pending legal approval. Direct Energy – 35 months - .06993 kwh Spark Energy – 24 months - .0720 kwh Constellation – 36 months - .0739 kwh Crius Energy – 36 months - .07911 kwh Motion made by Jerry Restaino seconded by Richard Straczynski and passed 7-0. Chairman explained this contract had a timeframe and was put into effect two months ago so the Board had to vote on this in a separate session. (Questions or comments with regard to New Business) -Question on motion 18-55 about our liability carrier having a response which they do not. -General Manager stated it falls under the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code. -Question regarding the maximum speed limit which is 25MPH. -Question regarding how many people NEV’s can hold which is four. -Concern about if they are fully occupied they may go up hills slow and impede traffic which would be a negative for the membership. Also, anticipate the highest

usage will be on weekends when people want to take a joy ride around the lake. Understands making tough decisions from being a prior Board member and needing to weigh the benefits for the membership so questioned what the Board feels the benefit of this is. -Restaino explained he is opposed to it, however, it falls under the law doesn’t know how we can say no. Also, the Public Safety Committee was concerned if there was no discussion or vote and somebody buys it. -Comment that they agree with the prior comment about why there is a motion if it falls under the law. Feels if we weren’t going to allow them then understands having a motion but now if there is an accident and somebody sues there is a motion. Whereas we could have stated it is a State law. -Terranova explained these need to be registered and licensed by a valid driver so there won’t be a 14 year old kid driving it. -Secretary stated scooters are allowed. -Question about whether there was a motion to allow scooters. -Secretary believes there was. -Public Safety Manager stated there were certain scooters that were not street legal so believes there was clarification which stems to if it can be driven outside legally then it could be driven inside. -Secretary explained they needed to address this before someone goes and buys one so they are trying to be proactive. -Comment that it is debatable if we want to restrict them regardless if they are legal. Also, any Board down the road can reverse it so suggested having a nongrandfathered clause in. Because if they are grandfathered there will still be issues. -President stated we could circumvent that by raising the speed limit to 30 MPH. -Discussion took place regarding which roads qualify to change to 30 MPH. -Comment that this will be a convenience for some and an inconvenience for many and the responsibility is to protect the community not for a few just to have fun. Also, if the Board approves it to at least put a non-grandfathered clause. -Comment that they do not believe there needs to be a motion since Pennsylvania State already approved it. He feels the biggest concern is if they’re going to abide by the speed limit. The founding documents state we follow the PA Vehicle Code so if they want to change the process then they would have to change the documents stating we are not complying with State rules. -Concern if we raise the speed limit then people will think they don’t get a ticket until 40 MPH and next thing they are going 50 MPH. Doesn’t feel this will be a big deal but if it does become one then we can regulate that. Feels to regulate behavior which we also try to do doesn’t work. -Chairman stated the biggest impediment is they start at around $10,000 and up. -Chairman asked the Board if they want to hold this for further discussion with counsel. -Vice President feels the committee and Board have discussed this at great length and now feels the question is whether or not it should be a motion. -Terranova stated he has been to Hamlin Power Sports and they have sold zero units so far. -Question if this is an issue the community should vote on. -Chairman stated no. 5. New Business: 18-54 MOTION RESOLVED TO appoint

incumbent directors Barry Neiss, Lou Delli Santi, Jerry Restaino and Michael Terranova as proxy holders for the 2018 Board of Directors Annual Meeting being held on October 7, 2018.

Facilities Manager addressed the above question regarding motion 18-58. This is an open swale and is going to be a single enclosed swale with four drop boxes running down to the lake. Storm patterns are changing from back when they originally designed them. This project was re-evaluated and re-designed so the new culverts are made for a 20 to 30 year storm. General Manager explained this has been an area that has been going on for twentyeight years. -Question regarding the differences in the bids and if they are qualified. Facilities Manager explained he sent a schedule of values and it has been vetted. They don’t charge for mobilization fees and for fill removal because they have an area right outside the gates. Chairman stated during the course of the last year the Facilities Manager has been including a number of new contractors that have not been in the area before and we are trying to expand the scope of who is awarded projects. 18-59 MOTION RESOLVED TO accept the exception from bid for Beach Lake Sprinkler for installation of a dry sprinkler system in the Recreational Sports Complex in the amount of $45,000.00 due to the old system being antiquated plus future evaluation of wet system feed line pipes.

Designed to serve as the unofficial kickoff to the holiday charitable giving season, Giving Tuesday is celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving in the United States. While events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday have become incredibly popular among holiday shoppers looking for great deals on gifts for their loved ones, Giving Tuesday aims to capitalize on the holiday spirit of giving by celebrating philanthropy and promoting charitable giving. Giving Tuesday began in 2012 and was the brainchild of the team at the Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact at New York City’s 92nd Street Y, which has brought people together around the values of service and giving since 1874. Nonprofits, civic organizations, for-profit businesses and corporations, individuals, and families have participated in Giving Tuesday since its inception. In 2015, with the cooperation of donors, volunteers and organizations in 71 countries, the Giving Tuesday movement raised nearly $117 million. More information about Giving Tuesday is available at www.GivingTuesday.org.

The roles of the different branches of the U.S. military Each branch of the U.S. military has a unique mission, and here is a brief rundown of what those missions entail, courtesy of Military.com and the U.S. Department of Defense.

The United States military is one of the most comprehensive, effective and respected armed forces in the world. Without the tireless commitment of military personnel - from the soldiers on the ground to the support staff behind the scenes - America could not be the world power it is today.

United States Army

The Army is one of the three military departments that reports directly to the Department of Defense. The Army conducts operational and institutional missions around the world, typically handling land-based missions. The Army also guards U.S. installations and properties throughout the world.

United States Navy

Serving to protect the freedom of the seas, the Navy is another branch of the military that reports directly to the Department of Defense. Among its many missions, the U.S. Navy serves to make the seas safe for travel and trade.

United States Air Force

The Air Force also reports directly to the Department of Defense and trains for and maintains global superiority in air, space and cyberspace. Air Force personnel fly planes, helicopters and even satellites.

United States Marine Corps

The Marine Corps is a component of the Department of the Navy. It carries out global missions on both sea and shore and serves as an expeditionary force. Marines are a rapid-reaction team and are usually the first boots on the ground in a conflict.

United States Coast Guard

The Coast Guard safeguards maritime interests through both civil and military missions. The Coast Guard operates around the world and in domestic waterways and ports.

United States Army National Guard

The oldest branch of the U.S. military, the National Guard serves as a complementary force to active duty. Those in the National Guard are trained to be versatile, providing for humanitarian aid, domestic emergencies, combat missions, and homeland security operations.

The Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, Army Reserve, Coast Guard Reserve, and Navy Reserve are the other branches made up of servicemen and servicewomen who primarily work civilian jobs but may be called to full-time military duty if necessary. The U.S. Armed Forces are headed by the President of the United States. The Secretary of the Department of Defense reports directly to the Commander-in-Chief. The DOD controls each military branch, except for the Coast Guard, which is overseen by the Department of Homeland Security. Learn more about the U.S. military at dod.defense.gov.

Board of Director Draft Meeting Minutes continued from page 37 Motion made by Barry Neiss seconded by Jerry Restaino and passed 7-0. -Chairman explained this is due to leaks that have been happening over the past few years so we are going to a dry system from a wet system. -Restaino asked if the amount includes spray foam. -Facilities Manager stated it does not because the contractor has mentioned several times that this is a fully charged dry system so there is no water in it and nothing to freeze. He did get a price for spray insulation which should be another discussion. -Restaino asked if the contractor will guarantee no breakage. -Facilities Manager stated the only thing the contractor will guarantee is what the manufacturer will which is down to negative 40°. -Restaino feels this is a penny wise and dollar foolish so will not vote for this without spray foam. -Vice President feels because of this time of the year we need to move forward with the motion but also include spray foam. He is adamant that we do not have another leak up there again. Feels we need this in before a freeze and that it is vital. -Facilities Manager explained the spray foam with not cover the pipe because the pipe sits above the insulation that is up there which is basically like the Alaskan pipe line that comes down. Stated we can spray the walls which helps with insulating and that is $21,700 but the pipe itself except for putting individual pipe insulation on it won’t do any good by itself. -Discussion took place between Board members and members in the audience regarding the value of using the spray foam. -Comment that if they spray foam the entire area there will be no ventilation which will affect the roof. Also, explained they never put a wet system in commercial buildings. A wet system in an open attic freezes every time, however, a dry system in itself has no water and can’t freeze and if done correctly won’t have a problem. -Discussion took place regarding ventilation in regards to sealing the area. -Treasurer stated if there is no water in the system and it doesn’t have to be insulated

then she feels we need to get this in before the winter and then look at whether we need to insulate. Also, asked where the water enters the pipe. -Facilities Manager explained there is an existing system there that services the attic space where there is enough pressure to tap off of the system and service the second floor and abandon the old system. The first floor will still be a wet system because we maintain warm temperatures. -Treasurer asked if we ever had a problem with the dry system that already exists in which we have not. -General Manager stated he doesn’t believe there was ever a dry system until the first leak. Explained when the first leak occurred they retro the upstairs for a dry system but only did the upstairs not second floor and insulated the joists. The wet system in the open attic was a hard pipe. -Treasurer stated the spray foam isn’t necessary because the dry system has not had any problems in the last four or five years. -Vice President stated they should move forward with this motion and then take a look at either heating it or insulating it with further engineering. (Questions or comments with regard to Committee Recommendations, if any) 6. Committee Recommendations: N/A (General Comments and Questions) -Concern regarding why we are saving money by using Maoicco who has a site on Miller Road when we bought $200,000 property because we did not want a dump site. Feels his property looks horrible and it is right across the street. -Chairman stated we can’t see his property. -Thanked all ex-Board members that were in attendance at today’s meeting and stated they were very helpful. -Clarification if there is a law mandating recycling. -Facilities Manager stated only certain municipalities such as, Scranton and Philadelphia. -Comment to crush everything to save money. -Question why part-time people have to pay same trash fees as full-time people. -Chairman stated it is per lot and is allocated across.

-Question if we pay by pull every time they take a load in which we do plus a tonnage cost. Also, was wondering if we had compactors here instead of having it fill up. -Facilities Manager stated they would probably come back and charge us. -Chairman stated the compactor installation is probably about $55,000-$60,000. -Statement that with all the topics that have been discussed in the meeting she does not see it reflected electronically. Also, stated even for the meeting had to find the schedule. Feels we need to be more proactive on social media outlets. -President recommended the above member join the Communications Committee and stated she does not need to be here but can call in. -Comment about the Hideout homeowner’s site where a lot of members post events and communicate information. -Chairman reminded members that site is not backed by the Hideout. -Vice President stated there is a lot of false information on there as well. -Chairman stated in the Hideabout the meeting schedule is posted every month. -Thanked the President for her three years of participation. -Question about motion 18-58 on why they didn’t coordinate with RS&W when they were digging up the road. -Clarification that area is not along the road it is digging down to the lake. -Chairman explained over the past few years there has been approximately 25 storm water projects. -Question why there are no committee recommendations because she would like to know the Boards feelings on their recommendations. -Chairman explained the steps where the committee meets and once they decide among themselves they submit a committee meeting report that the Board reviews then determines if they need more information. Committee’s don’t always submit a report. Also, twice a year we host a chairperson’s luncheon when we ask them to report what they have accomplished in the past six months and what they feel they are going to look at for the next six months. -Restaino explained he was at a Governing

Documents Committee meeting where he is the Liaison and the recommendation is currently in legal review. -Comment if it were the Recreation Committee or something that does not need legal review is what she would like to know about. -Restaino explained at the Workshop it is presented and discussed and open to the membership. -Statement that not everything discussed with committees needs a report. -Question about what the committee meeting report is. -Explanation regarding the committee meeting report which is a request for either capital expenditures or bigger items. Explained not everything the committee comes up with needs a request some things go right to the manager and is normal operations. -Vice President explained each Board member is assigned to a committee as a liaison so if there is something that needs to be discussed they do at the workshop or an upcoming executive meeting. -Clarification if the work at the Tiki Bar is a repair or extension in which it is a repair. Asked if there is any truth to a rumor that they are looking to extend the liquor license to the main beach area in which we are not. 7.

Follow these Thanksgiving travel safety tips

This Thanksgiving, drivers should make it a point to follow these tips to ensure they get to their destinations safely and soundly.

The week of Thanksgiving is a busy time of the year to travel that’s marked by a large number of people traveling to see loved ones. In 2017, AAA projected 50.9 million Americans would journey 50 miles or more from home on Thanksgiving. While many people look forward to seeing their loved ones, the sheer volume of cars on the road during Thanksgiving week makes it a dangerous time to travel. A 2013 study examining the previous five years of data on traffic crashes in Alberta, Canada, found that long weekends have 18 percent more deadly accidents than nonholiday weekends. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Thanksgiving is the most dangerous holiday for driving. The most recent data available from NHTSA’s Fatality Analysis Reporting System indicates that there were 764 crashes involving a fatality during Thanksgiving 2012. In comparison, there were 654 crashes involving a fatality during Christmas that year. This Thanksgiving, drivers should make it a point to follow these tips to ensure they get to their destinations safely and soundly. •

Check the forecast before you go. Weather can be unpredictable around Thanksgiving. Conditions may be sunny one day and then cold and icy the next. Stay up-to-date on the latest weather forecasts and road conditions as you prepare for your trip, making sensible decisions about traveling if there is inclement weather.

•

Get your vehicle inspected. Have your vehicle inspected in the days before you hit the road. A mechanic’s diagnostic checkup and routine servicing, such as topping off fluids and changing windshield wipers, can make driving safer.

•

Keep your fuel tank more than half-full. FEMA suggests keeping the tank full when temperatures are extremely cold. This is because condensation can build up in near-empty gas tanks, potentially freezing fuel lines and leaving you stranded.

•

Opt for airline updates. Flights can be delayed or canceled when weather is poor. Many airlines will now text travelers who are subscribed to updates or frequent-flyer programs and apps. That’s a convenient and free bonus.

•

Plan for stops. Drowsy driving and distracted driving are extreme dangers across North America. Take breaks to avoid drowsiness, and only use a mobile device when safely pulled over at a rest stop.

•

Leave plenty of time. There are bound to be many travelers come Thanksgiving week. Build extra time into your trip so you don’t have to speed or rush to make it on time.

•

Thanksgiving is a big travel holiday. Make it to family dinner safe and full of smiles by following various safety trips during your travels.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMINDERS RECYCLING

Recycling is open Monday - Sunday 24/7 The Maintenance Department accepts Bulk Items Monday - Friday at the Maintenance Shop between 11:30 a.m. - 12 noon, Saturday morning by appointment only, (570) 698-4100, ext. 133.

_________________________

COMMINGLED RECYCLING Single stream (also known as “fully commingled” or “single-sort”) recycling refers to a system in which all paper fibers, plastics, metals, and other containers are mixed in a collection truck, instead of being sorted by the depositor into separate commodities (newspaper, paperboard, Corrugated fiberboard, plastic, glass, etc.) and handled separately throughout the collection process. In single stream, both the collection and processing systems are designed to handle this fully commingled mixture of recyclables, with materials being separated for reuse at a materials recovery facility.

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

PROPANE TANKS Safety Guidelines For Propane Tanks: Homeowners who decide to install a propane tank on their property need to be aware of the guidelines for such. A Propane Permit is needed. The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) has established a set of rules that govern

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

GOOD NEIGHBORS CLUB The Hideout Adult Social Group (HASG) is expanding our recently-formed Good Neighbors Club. We are pleased to coordinate the following Good Neighbors Club services to all members of the Hideout Community: 1. Many of us own wheelchairs, walkers and other medical equipment that we are not currently using. Others are in need of some of this equipment for a period of time. The HASG is compiling a list of such equipment. The intent is to have a central contact point where those in need can inquire about who may have the equipment they need and be willing to loan it to a fellow Hideout member. If you possess such equipment and are willing to help out by lending it to a Hideout neighbor, or if you are in need of same, please contact Louise Brevet, Chairperson at (570) 698-5102, or Judy Restaino, Co-Chair at (570) 698-9840. 2. A number of us have survived major illnesses: cancer, heart attacks, strokes, etc. If you are a survivor of a life-threatening illness and are willing to talk, one on one, with others currently going through a similar situation, or if you are fighting such a situation and would like an opportunity to talk to someone who has “been there done that” please contact Louise Brevet, Chairperson at (570) 698-5102, or Judy Restaino, Co-Chair at (570) 698-9840. Confidentiality will be observed. 3. Many of our neighbors live alone. If you are by yourself and would like a daily phone call from a fellow community member, or if you would like the opportunity to brighten someone’s day with a friendly “hello, how are you today?” then again please contact Louise Brevet, Chairperson at (570) 698-5102, or Judy Restaino, Co-Chair, at (570) 698-9840. The HASG believes in neighbors helping neighbors. Although the Good Neighbor Club is a function of the Hideout Adult Social Group we are pleased to offer these services to ALL Hideout residents.

Be green, save green with appliance recycling If that old refrigerator of yours is past its prime and struggling to chill your beer and bratwurst, here are some cold facts. PPL will take away that energy-hogging relic at no charge and send you a check for $35 to boot. You’ll also be helping the environment because the various parts of that icebox — including the metal, glass, oil and insulation — get recovered and put to beneficial uses in the manufacture of other products like motorcycle parts, computers, cement products, and fan motors, just to name a few. Plus, the appliance doesn’t end up in a landfill. The EPA estimates there are more than 60 million refrigerators at least a decade old that are plugged in across the U.S. And those fridges are costing their owners extra money to operate. The EPA reports an older refrigerator can use twice the power of a new ENERGY STAR® model.

We know there are old appliances out there, some of them really old. In a contest we ran in 2012, a customer in Lancaster County recycled a vintage 1937 General Electric refrigerator. We started our appliance recycling program in late 2009 and since then, customers have recycled nearly 80,000 refrigerators. Add to that close to 20,000 freezers and nearly 11,000 room air conditioners and you’re on an earth-loving, greenhouse gas-reducing roll. Nearly 13,000 appliances were recycled in 2017. The program continues and you’re invited to join the tens of thousands of customers who have already recycled their old appliances. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the program requirements. For instance, refrigerators and freezers must be in working order and between 10 and 30 cubic feet in size. Information can be found at pplelectric.com/recycle.

Be sure there are no outstanding service issues pending: • Service line repairs • Meter Reading issues • Radio & Touchpad issues • Leaks that could lead to a high use bill and extra fees at closing. Once a closing date has been set, any outstanding balances will be sent to the Title Company and collected at the closing. Please DO NOT PAY any balances without contacting RS&W first. The HUD, or closing documents, are finalized well in advance of the actual closing. Changing the amount due will affect the payout. What is listed on the HUD must be collected and we make every attempt to avoid unnecessary overpayments on your part. A final meter read will be done within 48 hours of the scheduled closing. There will be a “Final Read” Fee of $50.00 on your closing documents Whatever billing quarter the closing takes place in, you will be responsible for a prorated amount up to the date of closing. All previous outstanding balances will be your responsibility and RS&W will pursue collections if they are not paid. Your account will be automatically Final Billed once the disbursements from the closing have been received and your account will be closed.

RS&W’s goal is to make your transition to sale as smooth as possible.

How to Prevent Freezing Pipes You CAN prevent freezing pipes and the costly damage that goes with them.

Wicked winter weather can cause plumbing pipes to freeze and possibly burst, causing flooding and costly water damage to your home. Taking preventive measures before winter sets in can reduce and eliminate the risk of frozen pipes and other cold-weather threats.

Exposed Interior Plumbing Exposed pipes in the basement are rarely in danger of freezing because they are in a heated portion of the home. But plumbing pipes in an unheated area, such as an attic, crawl space, and garage, are at risk of freezing. Often, inexpensive foam pipe insulation is enough for moderately cold climates. For severe climates, opt for wrapping problem pipes with thermostatically controlled heat tape (from $50 to $200, depending on length), which will turn on at certain minimum temps.

Under-Insulated Walls Where the Trouble Lies Some pipes are more prone to freezing than others because If pipes traveling in exterior walls have frozen in the past (tell-tale signs include water damage, mold, and moisture of their location in the home. build-up), it’s probably because of inadequate or improperly installed insulation.

RECIPES Cranberry-infused cocktail for autumn entertaining Move over mulled ciders, this crisp “Cranberry Margarita” from The Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association makes a great autumn-inspired beverage. Besides the ubiquitous “pumpkin spice,” nothing says “autumn” more than tart cranberries. Cranberries are a major component of Thanksgiving feasts, turning up alongside and atop turkey as well as in quick breads and desserts. Cranberries are loaded with health benefits, which include reducing the risk for ulcers and preventing gum disease. Also, just eight ounces of cranberry juice cocktail contains 137 percent of the daily recommended value of vitamin C. Cranberries can even be used to craft great cocktails. Move over mulled ciders, this crisp “Cranberry Margarita” from The Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association makes a great autumn-inspired beverage.

Cranberry Margarita Serves 1

1 1/2 shots of tequila 1 shot of cranberry juice cocktail 1/4 cup of whole berry cranberry sauce 1/2 shot of triple sec

10 ice cubes Sweetened dried cranberries, for garnish Lime, for garnish

Combine all ingredients except garnish in a blender. Blend on high until smooth and frosty. Serve in a margarita glass. Garnish with dried cranberries and a lime wheel.

Thanksgiving quiche puts sweet potatoes front and center Sweet potatoes are a favorite side dish at Thanksgiving dinner tables. Packed with vitamins, nutrients, fiber, and delectable flavor, sweet potatoes have earned their place on holiday dinner tables. While many holiday hosts bake, fry or mash their sweet potatoes, these beloved tubers can be prepared in other ways as well. If you want to put a new twist on this Thanksgiving staple, whip up this recipe for “Sweet Potato Quiche,” courtesy of the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission. Submitted to the NC State Fair Tailgate Recipe Contest by Kristen Frybort, this recipe marries sweet tubers with decadent cheese, rich cream and savory spices.

Sweet Potato Quiche Makes 8 servings

cups sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes 3/4 cup yellow onion, diced 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil Egg mixture: 4 eggs 1 cup heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced 1/2 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced

1/2

teaspoon salt Black pepper to taste

1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 3 ounces Gruyere cheese, shredded

Pre-baked deep dish pie crust Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix together the first five ingredients and place on baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes. While sweet potatoes and onions are roasting, shred cheese and set aside. Whisk the egg mixture and set aside. Once potatoes and onions have finished roasting, spoon them into the pre-baked pie shell. Next, layer the shredded cheese on top of the sweet potatoes. Reduce oven to 375 F. Pour egg mixture over the cheese and potatoes. Place quiche in the oven on a center rack. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until eggs are set.

REAL ESTATE Knock, Knock

By: Terri Ditty, Broker Associate All joking aside, your front door is the number one item with the largest return on investment when considering which upgrades you can perform to help increase the value of your home and attract buyers. When you’re preparing your house for the market, almost every agent will explain how valuable curb appeal is when it comes to marketing your home. Curb appeal can mean a lot of things, of course, ranging from wholesale replacement of the roof, paint, and landscaping, to a few tidy details designed to spruce up the place. One of the best (and most cost-effective!) tune-ups you can make works both from the curb and from up close. It’s kind of like Botox for your home’s face. It’s a little something I like to think of as the “Front Door Tune-up.” The front door is a focal point on your home, both from a distance and up close. Here’s how to leverage it for maximum impact: 1) Paint the door with an appropriate, fresh, contrasting color. Not only will this draw the eye (possibly even away from the crack in the driveway!), but it will go a long way to creating the impression of a new paint job. 2) Replace knob/handle and lock hardware. The feel of the doorknob, the click of the hardware, and the sense of security the door conveys matters hugely. It’s a frontline sensory experience for potential buyers. A sticky, weak, degraded set of locks only hurts your first impression. Remember, the prospective buyer is standing right behind your real estate agent while they struggle with a bad lock. 3) Upgrade the door, if possible. Sometimes paint and hardware won’t do the trick. If you have an older home or in a neighborhood where many of the same styles of door were used, this could be a good time to differentiate your home while upgrading the aesthetic. The “Front Door Tune-up” is a subtle but effective listing tool. So Knock Knock… Who’s There?... Buyers!!!!

How did Black Friday begin? Many believe Black Friday was named for the day retail companies would become profitable for the year (retailers would record losses in red and profits in black), but other accounts of the origins of Black Friday differ. Black Friday is seen by many as a shopping extravaganza that begins in the wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving, offering deep discounts on various items, doorbuster deals and other specials that have customers anxious to raid the aisles. Gold Rush One story attributes the name of Black Friday to September 24, 1869, when two speculators created a boom and subsequent bust in the gold market. According to the History Channel, rebel speculators Jay Gould and Jim Fisk attempted to control the nation’s gold market. They hoped to drive the price of gold sky high, relying on a corrupt network that extended from Wall Street and the government of New York City all the way to the family of President Ulysses S. Grant. Eventually, the conspiracy unraveled on what became known as “Black Friday.” Brotherly Love Other historians say that Black Friday has ties to Philadelphia. According to Bonnie Taylor-Blake, a neuroscience researcher at the University of North Carolina, in the 1950s stores around Philadelphia promoted big sales the day after Thanksgiving when many people were off from work. The sales also were held in advance of the Army/Navy football game that traditionally took place in Philadelphia on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Stores knew that suburban shoppers and football fans would be milling about town during the extended weekend. As a result, traffic cops and other law enforcement personnel had to work 12-hour shifts to corral the extra foot and vehicle traffic around the city. These cops referred to the day as “Black Friday.” Despite city officials’ best efforts to remove any negative connotations and rename the day “Big Friday,” the name “Black Friday” stuck and even spread to other areas of the country. Black Friday is a phenomenom that marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season, though its history might be rooted in more than just buying gifts for loved ones.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

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

A Walk on Deerfield Lake Dam 10/5/2018 Photos taken by John Goldman

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.

Fight the flu with these strategies Influenza can rear its head any time of the year, but is known to be a particularly bad thorn in one’s side during times of year when the weather is cold. According to WebMD, anywhere from 5 to 20 percent of the population will get the flu in an average year and it can take three to seven days for a regular case of the illness to go away, with some effects lingering for up to two weeks. No one wants to get the flu, which is marked by fever, aches and pains, congestion, fatigue, and other symptoms. As a result, people do all they can to help prevent the flu - or at the very least shorten its duration. The best way to stave off the flu is to get a flu vaccination each year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the vaccine is carefully curated to treat against the flu strains that research suggests will be the most common each flu season. Getting vaccinated by the end of October is recommended. Steer clear of sick individuals and make a concerted effort to avoid germs and the spread of germs. Diligently washing hands and avoiding touching your nose, eyes and mouth can help you avoid and spread germs. In addition, repeatedly clean and disinfect surfaces that may be contaminated with the flu virus. You might want to consider prophylactic treatment with an antiviral medication. In 2000, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of oseltamivir phosphate, which is known by the brand name Tamiflu, as a flu preventative. However, many people only reach for the drug when symptoms already have set in. Instead, it can be especially helpful in preventing the flu when someone in the household has already contracted the illness. The results of several clinical studies show that Tamiflu, when taken once daily, is up to 92 percent effective in preventing influenza illness in

adolescents, adults and the elderly. Drink plenty of liquids during flu season to keep the body well hydrated so the immune system can be in top form. Fruit juices, water, broth-based soups, and sports drinks can help keep the respiratory system from forming thick mucus that can become laden with bacteria. Should a fever set in, fluids help prevent dehydration. It also can be wise to take zinc supplements during cold and flu season. Neil Schachter, MD, medical director of the respiratory care department at Mount Sinai Medical Center and the author of “The Good Doctor’s Guide to Colds & Flu,” says zinc may boost immunity, which can shorten the duration or severity of the flu. The flu can quickly escalate and cause serious symptoms. Prevention and early treatment are essential during cold and flu season. Did you know? Antibiotics are not effective in preventing or treating the flu. Antibiotics are not effective in preventing or treating the flu. Antibiotics are used when bacteria is the cause of illnesses and help kill bacteria or stop them from reproducing, indicates Medline Plus. Influenza is a viral infection, meaning antibiotics will be useless against it. The only times when antibiotics may be prescribed during a flu illness is if flu symptoms have contributed to secondary or tertiary illnesses, such as strep throat or ear infections. Requesting antibiotics without the presence of a bacterial infection will not help a person feel better faster, and taking antibiotics unnecessarily could compound the growing problem of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

Generator Permit

POA NEWS

A Hideout 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 Permit are located on the Hideout website. Or you can get any permit application at the front POA desk. GENERATOR - 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. Also, 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. Finally, 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. GENERATOR PERMIT: A Hideout 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 Permit are located on the Hideout website. Or you can get any permit application at the front POA desk.

Property Line Information

This is a good time to review definitions of property lines, setback, and easements as applied in the Hideout. When you hear that someone has a setback, you usually expect something not so good. It’s a completely different case when the term is applied to property boundaries. Setback Lines actually protect your property! Building set-back lines are usually intended to govern permanent structures - like your house or garage. What is a Setback? A setback is a defined space in which no structures (as defined by Land Use Code) may be located, except where specifically allowed by the Code. Setbacks are required along front, rear, side property lines and additionally with some “easements.” How are Setbacks measured? In most cases, setbacks are measured from the property line. However, when measuring a front setback line abutting a public street the setback is measured from the center line of the right of way. Your property line is coincident with the edge of the right of way. Since the right of way can contain unimproved shoulders, you should not assume that your property line is at the edge of the curb or paved edge of the road. Typically, your property line is several feet from the road improvements. Unlike rights of way, utility access easements do not always coincide with property lines. The easement may be located partly or entirely on your property. When a front yard setback is required from an easement located on a property, the setback is measured from the interior edge of the easement. Are Setbacks required from anything else? In most cases, buildings may not be built over utility easements (e.g., power, water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and telecommunications) without written approval from the associated utility. We all have easements on our Hideout property lots. These easements are shown on your recorded plat Land Survey and title report. How large a Setback is required? That depends on where the property is located and whether the setback is along a front, rear, or side property line. For example, in the Hideout, the following Setbacks are required: Front - 25’; Rear - 25’; Sides - 10’. Also, within these setbacks there are “easement lines” (Front - 10 feet, Rear - 10 feet, and each Side - 5 feet). Please note that the 25 foot front area starts at your property line, not at the edge of the road. The property line to the road is POA property. Also, in Pennsylvania, only a state licensed surveyor may set the property corners.

What is an Easement? An easement is defined as a right that one party has to use real estate that is owned by someone else. The rights of the easement holder regarding usage of the property are specific and typically limited. Property ownership or possession is not impacted by an easement. The property owner gives up only defined rights on that portion of the property that is used for purposes of the easement. Common easements are those that are given to public utilities such gas or telephone companies to run lines under/over private property. Utility easements such as power, phone, water and sewer are examples of easements that benefit the Hideout. Such is the case with RS&W. As a general rule, the grantor of the easement can make any use of that property as long as it does not unduly interfere with the rights granted to the easement holder. Typically, the owner granting the easement cannot build/place structures or obstructions within an easement area or otherwise hinder access to that area. A utility easement grants the utility company the right to use and access a specific area of a property. The area covered by the easement is usually clearly defined in the text of the easement, and the easement is attached to the property deed so that it will persist even when the property is transferred or sold. Utilities can request an easement for any number of reasons. A classic example of a utility easement is an easement which allows the power company to run electrical lines along a property, and to install utility poles if the property is long enough that the lines cannot pass over the property without support. The utility has the right to utilize a strip of land for the lines, and to enter the land to access the lines for maintenance and repair, which can include tree trimming, replacing rotted utility poles, and relocation of any conduits, cables, wires, towers, and poles. What about these Property Easements? Every Hideout property has “easements” – legal rights that others have to use parts of a land owner’s property. Despite their prevalence, easements are often misunderstood and in some instances, people are not even aware that easements exist. As a property owner you can benefit from a basic understanding of easements. That understanding helps you avoid problems (permanent placement of landscaping, trees & shrubs, rock gardens, landscape lighting, fences, etc.) that can arise within the easement area. By keeping these areas free of plantings or other obstructions, you can enjoy what you have planted without worrying that it may be in jeopardy in the future.

REFLECT

As you look into the mirror And see what was and is Look closely and Reflect

When can you find true peace When will your mind release When will you sign that final lease Reflect

There are images not yet seen There are moments still to sing There are your thoughts and dreams Reflect

Can time erase what was Can you succeed because Can she/he make up the cause Reflect

There can be moments you’ve tried There are times you did not abide There can be words you set aside Reflect

Search down deep within your mind Look back you still may find That way you will redefine Reflect. WOLRAD/2018
