OCTOBER 2018 • 3

FROM KELLYN NOLAN

FROM JOE ACLA

The past three years on the Board have been nothing short of fulfilling. When I joined the Board of Directors in 2015, I was not clear on what my impacts on the community would be. I had little Board experience and the understanding of how to govern an organization. I went in with the intention to not only “make a difference” but to become a better community member by contributing my skills to advance the mission of The Hideout POA. Through guidance, others’ experiences, and learning, I was able to understand that for this community board to be successful all parts of the organizations must be mutually valued while we work together.

I would like to start by congratulating Richard Straczynski, Marie Krauss, and Larry Frotten on their election to the Hideout Board of Directors in which they each will serve a 3-year term. Also, a very important reminder that the Annual Meeting of the Board of Directors and Community is on Sun., October 7, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. at the Main Lodge.

President’s Message

As I reflect on the past three years, what has become tremendously clear is that all the hard work and dedication to make this community more technologically advanced cannot happen in only one term. I believe Board members collectively need to bring their expertise, passion, talent, and experience together to fulfill this mission. We all come from varying walks of life, which contributes to the uniqueness of how we view the world and how and why we choose to make an impact. I firmly believe that deep down, we all want to make the community a little better than the condition it was in when we joined the Board. This has been my motivation these past few years.

As I move forward, serving on other boards in our county this endeavor has ignited my desire to do more, be more, and serve more. Thank you for all who have supported, guided, and challenged me. Serving on the Board of Directors has been one of the most valuable experiences I have had. Thank you, community members, for allowing me to fulfill my goals of leaving my mark!

Kellyn Nolan Dear Hideout Members, There is a 911 Emergency Number System change being mandated by the County. The County has sent a formal letter to the membership outlining the details. If you did not receive a letter then contact the county at 570-253-5970, ext. 4050.

The membership may show support to our volunteer fire department by purchasing the new 911 placards from the Lake Ariel Fire Department for $18 each.

Please email hideout911signs@gmail.com. Please leave your name, phone number, new 911 address, and Hideout lot number.

If purchasing the placards elsewhere, the placards must be in conformance with the national recognized emergency number placards.

Thank you.

On October 7, at our Annual POA Board Meeting, we will have a “new” Board and face many challenges ahead of us for 2019.

Thank You to all the members who participated in this year’s election process. While there is no perfect recipe for a good Board of Directors, a well-run association does start with a committed group of “elected” volunteers leading the charge and making proper decisions for the community. Maintaining core values and responsibilities of a POA Board of Directors will lead to an efficiently managed Hideout community.

The Hideout has certainly dealt with our fair share of different people that make up the Board. We come from all walks of life and from all different backgrounds. Some are very productive and accomplish numerous things for our community.

There are five qualities when blended together make up a successful POA Board of Directors.

Balance A diverse Board delivers a different perspective to the table and helps ensure that the community is fully represented by all members of the association. An efficient Board always has a well-rounded balance about it. Varying backgrounds help add knowledge to the group. Someone of a construction background would certainly be interested in a building or redesign project whereas someone from an accounting background would certainly be interested in the long-term financial success of the Hideout.

Common Sense It is important for a Board to have “street smarts” or common sense when making community decisions. There are times where you must stop, stand back, and think about the situation. Community documents were written when the community was first established. The Hideout has been in existence for almost 50 years, and over time, things do change. If any rules or policies are aged and no longer relevant, it is important for the Board to make the appropriate updates.

Communication A Board that fails to communicate effectively fails to accomplish what they need to do for our community. This means not only amongst themselves as a Board, but also working in sync with the current management staff as well. Conveying what the Board wants accomplished to the management staff is just as important as the Board making community-related decisions.

Unbiased Being a Board Director means being a volunteer who represents the entire association; however, as a volunteer, you do have responsibilities. There is no room on the community’s Board of Directors for any personal agendas. Getting elected to the Board does not give you permission to hire your buddy as the landscaper and recommend community improvements that only affect your area of the neighborhood. All decisions need to be made with the overall interest of the entire community.

Active This stands alone as the number one factor in the success of any Board. Like most things in life, you get out of it what you put into it. For our association to thrive, it must have an active participation amongst the Directors. This means more than anything…………….

• Attending all Board related sessions and assigned committee meetings • Voting when a decision is needed – making decisions is a main role of a board member • Attending community events – this conveys the message of “community” to other members • Obeying regulations & rules – don’t be a hypocrite, these apply to a Director as well • Maintaining financial responsibility – don’t appear on a citation or delinquent payer list The POA Board of Directors looks forward to serving the Hideout community for an exciting, productive, and successful 2019!

Additionally, you can contribute to the POA by becoming involved in The Hideout: join a committee, read the monthly Hideabout, search the POA website, and attend Board meetings. The more you know, the better The Hideout becomes!

OCTOBER 2018 • 5

FROM JOE KOZUCH, PUBLIC SAFETY MANAGER

FROM ROBERT BRINSFIELD, FACILITIES MANAGER

In this month's article, I would like to address the process that is in place regarding the Public Safety Department addressing member’s complaints.

There are two different avenues that a member can utilize to file a complaint.

The first would be filing an incident report with the department. The Department files many incident reports for many different reasons and any follow up that is required is done. At times an incident report is closed out on completion of the report, other times further follow up is required to close the complaint.

Many times a complaint from a member is handled in this manner. Example: a member calls Public Safety to report their neighbor’s excessively barking dog.

Public Safety will respond and speak with the complainant and will follow up and investigate the source of the barking dog. If the officer hears the barking dog the officer will be able to act as the complainant and either issue a verbal warning or a citation. If the responding officer does not hear the barking dog, the officer can not act as the complainant and may issue a verbal warning but would not be able to issue a citation. The complaint may be closed as “unfounded upon arrival” and no further action is taken.

Should the member wish to pursue the matter further, they can file a written complaint. Forms are located at the North and Main Gates, Main Lodge Patrol Office, and the POA Administration Building, but must be returned to the

Time to prepare for winter before the weather gets too cold outside.

This is the time for one last clean up before the seasonal change. To assist with tidying up the yard, leaves can be bagged and placed into the compactors at the trash center. Brush under 4 inches thick can be brought to Maintenance during bulk hours for disposal.

As a reminder for recycling, only aluminum, tin cans, plastic bottles, clean paper products, and glass bottles go into the single stream bins. All of these items should be rinsed thoroughly.

Bottle caps, plastic bags, shower curtains, frames, toys, and PVC pipe cannot be recycled. Household trash like styrofoam, cigarettes, food, and tissue boxes go into the compactors.

Before winter, please pull any décor or personal property back from the roadside edge at least ten feet. The plows will need this space to push any snow back. Also, keep the spring thaw in mind. Culverts and swales adjacent to homeowner property should be cleared of leaves, branches, and other debris. Negligence at one property will affect others as well as the integrity of community roads.

On a final note, during a snowstorm, please use caution when driving or walking on the roads. It is unsafe to operate a vehicle under unfavorable conditions. Also, walking along the road during a storm is dangerous as it is difficult for the plows to see you, especially if no safety vest is worn. Make sure to always remember safety and wait out the storm before venturing out.

Public Safety Corner

North Gate after being completed in order that they can be logged and issued a control number.

These forms can be used for any complaint regarding any department that may be involved.

The complaint will be forwarded to the Public Safety Manager's Office and will, in turn, be assigned to an officer or the responsible Department regarding the matter to investigate the complaint. At times this complaint can act as the vehicle for the case to proceed to the Disciplinary Committee for disposition. The member filling out the complaint will be required to appear before the committee to testify with regards to their complaint.

The committee will listen to all parties involved, both the complainant as well as the alleged violator and render their decision. The form is generally used when Public Safety does not observe a violation being committed but a member does.

If you are still unsure of which means you would need to utilize to address your concerns, the best thing to do is to call the North Gate Control Center at (570) 698-4100, ext. 142 and ask for a patrol officer to respond and they will be able to assist you. You can also call me directly at (570) 698-4100 ext. 143 with any questions you may have.

Public Works Corner

Leaf Clean-up Safety Tips: • Disposal. Think about what you’re going to do with the leaves before you start raking. Don’t overfill trash bags. Leaves become heavy when wet.

• Make sure you have the proper rake(s) for the job.

• Protect your eyes. If you’re raking near trees that have low-hanging branches, wear protective eyewear.

• Wear appropriate shoes. Make sure you wear shoes or boots with good traction.

• Stay hydrated. Even in cooler weather, you can work up a sweat. Make sure you drink plenty of water.

• Practice ladder safety. If you’re removing leaves from your gutter, always make sure your ladder is on level ground and is the right size for the job. It’s wise to have someone to spot you and hold the ladder.

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

Environmental Corner Greetings! Fall is upon us and so is the changing weather patterns. Please be advised that boats and non-permanent docks should be removed from the lakes

by Monday, October 15. Roamingwood Lake will experience its yearly drawdown event a week after Columbus Day, so please plan in advance. No exact date has been set for the drawdown, so please plan accordingly.

While outside this fall, please exercise caution and be sure to check yourself, family members, and pets for ticks. Take advantage of the good weather while it lasts, and make time with family and friends to access our various amenities we have on the property as well as local PA State Parks to enjoy the changing of the seasons.

Property owners are reminded that there is no open burning of leaves allowed within the Hideout and members should make every effort to avoid mulched up leaves from entering our roads and waterways. Please bag your leaves and dispose of them accordingly.

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 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 www.hideoutassoc.com or can be accessed by visiting the POA office Tuesday-Saturday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.

Community members are encouraged to learn about the Spotted Lantern Fly, 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 the Environmental office. Learn how to avoid bringing this insect into the Hideout, especially if you are traveling from quarantined areas of the state.

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 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

CONSTRUCTION AREAS AND WORK SCHEDULING

As we enter in October 2018, the third and final stage of our Sewer and Water Infrastructure Replacement Project is winding down. There are a few more pumps to install, but the majority of the work remaining is paving and property restoration. Unfortunately, with the copious amount of precipitation that has fallen throughout the duration of Stage 3, restoration has been delayed. Our contractor is doing their very best to restore as many properties as possible, during the small windows of dry weather.

The same is true for the paving program. Because of the historic rainfall, paving has been delayed. As soon as the weather cooperates, the paving program will start on the Northwest side of the lake and progress south hitting all the side streets encompassed in Stage 3. The paving crew will then conclude on the East side of the lake. During the paving portion of the project there will be road closures and detours in place.

Please keep in mind that paving moves along quickly, and road closures may change several times throughout the day. It is advised to travel at a reduced speed (less than 25mph) in the construction zones.

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.

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.

The style of beer most widely consumed during Oktoberfest celebrations can be traced to a time before refrigeration was available.

According to the online beer resource BeerAdvocate.com, brewing beer in the summertime was nearly impossible in the days before refrigeration. Hot weather and the risk of bacterial infections complicated brewing in summer, so many brewers would cease brewing beer in spring and begin again in the fall when temperatures dropped.

As a result, the beers available for Oktoberfest celebrations were the Märzen style of beer, or those brewed in the month of March, shortly before brewing ceased for the season. These Märzen beers were kept in cold storage throughout the spring and summer or brewed at a higher gravity so they would keep and be available for consumption during Oktoberfest celebrations. Such brewing restrictions were no longer necessary after refrigeration became commonplace and made it possible to brew beer year-round, but there’s still a strong chance that steins being hoisted during this year’s Oktoberfest celebrations will be filled with Märzenstyle beers.

· Howard Street Cemetery, Salem, Mass.: The Salem Witch Trials were a shocking part of American history. Many different people were accused of witchcraft and sorcery and executed for their alleged crimes. Howard Street Cemetery, where Giles Corey, a convicted offender is buried, is said to host the paranormal. · Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia, Pa.: This once strict enforcer of solitary confinement was built in 1829 and housed prisoners until 1970. Peals of disembodied laughter, pacing footsteps and shadowy figures have been reported on the premises. · Keg Mansion, Toronto, Ontario: The Keg Mansion was once the private residence of industrialist Hart Massey and his family. Legend states that, after the death of Massey’s daughter Lillian, her maid was so overcome with grief that she took her own life. A ghostly image of a maid hanging by her neck has frequently been reported. · LaLaurie Mansion, New Orleans, La.: Marie Delphine LaLaurie was a Louisiana socialite who threw lavish parties. But she also had a dark and grisly side. When a fire broke out in the residence, police responded and discovered mutilated slaves in the attic.

LaLaurie fled New Orleans, but it is believed the phantom screams of her victims can still be heard at night. · Hotel Monte Vista, Flagstaff, Az.: This hotel is purportedly home to various spectors and paranormal guests. Room 210 was plagued by someone who hung raw meat from the chandelier. An infant’s wretching cries have sent people scurrying. And two women who were thrown from the third floor now haunt and try to smother male guests in their sleep. · Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, Banff, Alberta: This is the site of a number of terrifying ghost sightings, including an entire murdered family. Many believe a retired head bellman in uniform continues to haunt the hotel. · San Fernando Cathedral, San Antonio, Texas: This is the oldest church in Texas and is stunning to behold. But during the nighttime, visitors may feel the hair on their necks stand on end. During renovations, workers unearthed bones, nails and military uniforms.

Visitors report orbs and shadowy figures in photographs, as well as figures in hooded clothing. · RMS Queen Mary, Long Beach, Calif.: This luxury ship carried Hollywood celebrities before being re-purposed into a World War II ship that transported troops. Eventually, the ship was permanently docked in California, and is reportedly haunted by those who died aboard, such as a young sailor crushed in the engine room.

Haunted places dot the globe and can make interesting travel locations for those who wish to discover what goes bump in the night.

7 uses for fallen leaves Cleaning up leaves is considerable work, but not all of those leaves need to be carted away.

In fact, there are several different uses of leaves that can be beneficial.

By the time autumn hits full swing, many trees will have shed their leaves for the season, and the last vestiges of red, yellow and orange magic will have faded to brown. Raking, blowing and collecting leaves becomes the primary chores of lawn and yard maintenance, and presents most homeowners with large piles of gathered leaves to tend to.

It is impossible to count just how many leaves fall to the ground each year, or just how many pounds of leaves get collected curbside, but the numbers are substantial.

1. Spread leaves as a protective mulch to cover tender perennials or root crops/bulbs in the ground. The leaves will form a natural insulating cover that keeps the soil and the plants within a bit warmer over winter.

2. Create a pile of leaves that will break down and form a crumbly, compost-like material called leaf mold. Even though leaf mold may sound like a blight, it’s actually a good amendment to garden soil, improving its structure and ability to hold water. Leaf mold also attracts beneficial organisms that are vital in healthy soil.

3. Brown leaves can be added to green materials in compost piles to improve the health of the compost being formed. According to the healthy living resource Care2, the ideal ratio is 75 percent brown to 25 percent green materials in compost. Turn compost piles regularly to aerate them.

4. Store dried, mulched leaves in a dry spot so they can be used in the spring as a weed barrier for spring plantings. They will keep weeds at bay and help retain soil moisture to ensure small sprouts have the resources to grow.

5. Use shredded leaves as a lawn supplement. Pass a lawn mower over leaves left on the lawn to break them down into pieces too small to rake. This will help keep the lawn healthy throughout the winter without blocking out needed sunlight.

6. Bag dried leaves and pack them tightly together in cold areas of the home, such as basements or garages. They can act as added insulation. Bags of leaves also can be placed around planting containers to protect them from frost.

7. Gather a few of the best-looking leaves and preserve them. Use an iron on a low setting and press leaves between two pieces of waxed paper until the waxed paper seals together. Or use clear contact paper to achieve the same effect.

Fallen leaves can be used in many different ways throughout the year

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.

Physical Therapy

(NEXT TO HAMLIN POST OFFICE)

By: Bernard J. Povanda, PT, COMT, Direct Access Certified Physical therapists (PTs) are highly educated, licensed health care professionals who treat people of all ages and abilities. We can help patients reduce pain and improve or restore mobility - in many cases without expensive surgery and often reducing the need for long-term prescription medications and their side effects.

BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY: • Improve mobility & motion • Provide a conservative option to surgery (although where there is a need for surgery, physical therapy can enhance the outcome before & after surgery) • Manage pain effectively without longterm use of medication • Help prevent injuries & promote a healthy lifestyle by improving strength, flexibility, balance & coordination We teach patients how to prevent or manage their condition so that they will achieve long-term health benefits. PTs examine each individual and develop a plan, using treatment techniques to promote the ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. In addition, we work with patients to prevent the loss of mobility before it occurs by developing fitness and wellness oriented programs for healthier and more active lifestyles. The treatment plans are designed for the patient’s individual challenges, goals, and needs. The right type and amount of exercise, prescribed by a physical therapist, can help prevent or manage many age-related health conditions.

As a physical therapist, some of the more common conditions we treat in our clinics include: back & neck pain, shoulder & elbow pain, arthritis, auto, work & sport injuries, headaches, orthopedic disorders, acute & chronic tendonitis, balance disorders and pre & post surgical rehabilitation, along with countless other conditions affecting an individual’s ability to move freely, without pain. I also believe in taking the time to educate my patients on how to achieve a healthier, more active and pain-free lifestyle.

Remember, the CHOICE of where to go for physical therapy IS YOURS!

What kids can do in the face of bullying Kids can be great allies in the fight against bullying, and the following are some ways adults can work with youngsters who want to stop bullying.

Many adults may recall being bullied or witnessing bullying when they were in school.

Despite that, it’s important that adults, including parents and educators, not see bullying as an inevitable part of growing up. The effects of bullying can be severe, affecting those involved - including the bullied, the bullies and those who merely witness bullying - long after their school days have ended.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, bullying has been linked to various negative outcomes, mental health issues, substance abuse and suicide.

When taking steps to combat bullying, parents and educators should not overlook the benefits of enlisting children in their efforts. Kids can be great allies in the fight against bullying, and the following are some ways adults can work with youngsters who want to stop bullying.

Teaching kids to respect others StopBullying.gov, the DHHS’ website devoted to stopping bullying once and for all, notes the importance of teaching kids to treat everyone, including other children, with respect.

Parents can teach kids to pause before saying or doing something that can be harmful to someone else. Bullying inflicts physical and emotional pain on its victims, so teaching kids to recognize that words can be just as harmful as fists may encourage them to think twice before saying something mean to a classmate.

The DHHS also recommends advising children to do something else if they feel an urge to say or do something mean. Walk away from a situation to watch television, play a video game or engage in another activity rather than saying or doing something hurtful.

What kids being bullied can do Kids being bullied also can employ certain strategies to overcome bullying. The DHHS recommends teaching children to look at bullies and telling them to stop in a calm, clear voice. Laughing it off might also work for kids who find joking comes naturally to them.

The DHHS advises against fighting back, instead suggesting kids walk away and stay away before finding an adult who can stop the bullying on the spot.

Encouraging students to confide in adults they trust also can help them overcome bullying and the feelings of loneliness that bullying can elicit. Trusted adults can help children devise a plan to stop the bullying.

The DHHS notes that most bullying happens when adults are not around, so staying near adults and other children can help kids avoid situations where they might be vulnerable to bullies.

What witnesses to bullying can do Bullying can have a negative impact on children who witness bullying, even if they aren’t the victims. Adults can encourage children to speak to trusted adults and to report instances of bullying. In addition, children should be encouraged to be kind to children who are being bullied, inviting them to sit with them on the bus or in the lunch room and engaging them in conversations about topics that interest them.

Bullying affects children whether they’re being bullied, doing the bullying or witnessing it. But bullying can be overcome if adults and children work together and keep lines of communication open at all times.

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. (fees apply) No electronics accepted, i.e., computers, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, etc. Also not accepted are tires, paints, thinners, oils, etc.

_________________________

COMMINGLED RECYCLING

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.

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.

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.

TREES

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.

_________________________

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

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.

Review/Discussion: 1. Review and complete CMR for Contractor’s Rules to include Registration from Attorney General. CMR was reviewed with updates to present to Committee at the next meeting.

2. Abandoned Kayaks left on embankment at Deerfield Lake. Researched with Public Safety and it was found to belong to a member who advised himself and three others who reside on Deerfield Lake were grandfathered in using the area where the kayaks were left as they lost their lakefront privilege when the dam was constructed. Pulled the property file and there was no mention of being grandfathered. Property owner did advise Public Safety they would remove the kayaks upon their return to the Hideout.

The Committee requested the property owners in question provide documentation advising their grandfathered status and that no kayaks, etc. shall be left on the shoreline or on the embankment due to potential liability.

3. Lot 1212 Lakeview Drive West – new home construction, backyard concerns, builder dropped rip rap rock (loose) and is crushing trees. Also, excessive amount of tree removal. The Committee advised the Environmental Manager to contact the builder.

4. Excessive White Trim – Vinyl Railing and under Deck.

It was recommended the railing be wiped with acetone then painted with an earth tone color vinyl safe paint.

5. Review Variance Request The request for variance was denied due to no hardship being proved. It was recommended the property owner cut on an angle to avoid going into the setbacks without having to move the footers.

New Business: 1. Discussion of Pergolas – it is okay to have a metal pergola.

COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

Public Works Committee Draft Minutes of Meeting - 8/8/18 Call to order – 9:00 am. Pledge of Allegiance Present: Scott Patterson-Maintenance Supervisor, Peter Boyer – Chairman, Andy Vuolo, Robert Addieg, Richard Maxwell, Karl Englert, and Michael Terranova – Board Liaison.

Excused: Robert Brinsfield-Facilities Manager, Michele Popadynec, and Laura Rusnak Guest: Larry Frotten – Board Candidate Discussion: Michele had a few things to be discussed: 1. There is a utility pole very close to pavement on Lakeview Drive W just past Holiday Park and near the 25 mph sign. Could reflectors be placed on the pole or other type of markers?

The pole belongs to PP&L and therefore we can not add reflectors, but, maybe around the sign.

2. There is a red snow plow near 100 Parkwood Dr. Who does it belong to and can it be removed? The snow plow belongs to Michael Terranova and it will be removed.

3. Will salary increases for workers be in the 2019 budget? The men certainly deserve it. Have vacant positions been filled? The Maintenance Department is still down a few employees. The Board is reviewing the salary question.

Bob Addieg handed out a list of concerns: 1. Intersections with gravel issues: Splitrail and Hidden Lake Drive (very bad). One solution might be to add a larger stone on the corner.

2. Northgate Road and Avoy Road (both directions) exiting from north section.

3. Exit from north mailbox in both directions: larger rocks added to corner and possibly reflective posts could be added.

4. Hidden Lake and Cliffwood 5. Splitrail between Thornwood and exit to Stockfarm Gate.

Woodshop issues: 1. Several roof leaks. Maintenance is aware of the problem.

2. Support walls at both front entrances are rotting out at the bottom of the walls. (Actually, it is the t1-11) that needs to be replaced.

3. Door to shop does not close all the way, this prevents the alarm from setting. Maintenance is aware and has a work order in the system to address the issue.

4. Please restripe the parking lot to gain six additional spots.

5. Tree trimming around building promised two years ago and never done. It was actually done, but not the evergreen trees which were the ones to be trimmed. It was unclear at the time which ones.

6. Gravel around building promised two years ago and never done.

7. Asked Public Safety in February to look at tapes regarding band saw which was left in disarray. Maybe the answer is for the Hideout to provide a paid staff member in the Woodshop and have regular hours of operation under Hideout supervision. This was discussed at great length and they were not aware of an incident report that had to be filed.

Other issues 1. Digital lighting promised at north mailboxes. Never installed. Scott is looking into yellow LED lighting.

2. North mailbox has large bee hives.

Nests are sprayed every week.

3. Large tree down on the corner of Navaho and North Fairway.

4. North Gate turning left onto Avoy Road, can’t see. Trim the bushes.

Motion to adjourn: Robert Addieg at 9:50 am. Second by Richard Maxwell Next meeting: September 12, 2018 at 9:00 am.

COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES

Golf Committee Draft Minutes of Meeting - 9/19/18 Meeting called to order by Jim Lagrosa at 9:00 am.

Motion made by Ron Tortoriello to accept the minutes from August 10, 2018. Motion approved.

Present: Barbara White, Fred Sakas, Ken Procopio, Jim Lagrosa, Ron Tortoriello, Emil Boss, Al Lutzi, Pro Shop Manager, Ronnie Duffy, Pro Shop, Mike Kline, Golf Course Superintendent.

Excused: Lou Delli Santi, POA Board Liaison.

Reports: Golf Shop Handicap Account Balance will be rolled over to 2019. All of the Leagues are now finished.

Starting next year, AI Lutzi will make a presentation to the Hideout Adult Social Group, in an effort to attract more golfers.

Tournaments: Attendance on all of our tournaments has been very good. The last one is this weekend, the Fall Classic, which still has some openings.

The Golf Committee took this opportunity to thank Mike Kline, the Golf Course Superintendent and his crew, for doing an exceptional job, keeping the course open during a very difficult season.

Old Business: The putting green path bench was removed, as it was in poor condition. A new one will be built to replace it.

The staircase will also be done away with and replaced with a gradual slope to the putting green.

A painted arrow on the cart path pointing

to the first tee box has been completed.

Fred Sakacs is researching the best PA system to purchase for the Pro Shop, to be used for our Tournaments. The cost to be capped at $300.00. The motion was approved by the Golf Committee.

New Business: The 8th hole gold Tee box has an accumulation of water next to it. This was discussed and determined that not much can be done due to poor drainage. Mike Kline will look into it and see if anything can be done.

A discussion about the possibility of a designated area, closer to the greens, for the women to Tee off, rather than from the red Tees.

Stone caps around the area used for grilling at the 9th hole will be cemented down.

The Memorial Tournament this year was a success with 68-72 golfers. They had a pig roast. There are no plans to drop this event by the Pro Shop.

Because of so many changes by the USGA, a recommendation was made that the Pro Shop develop a pamphlet (Highlights of new 2019 USGA golf rules) The Pro Shop will develop a Protocol For Tournaments which will provide service guidelines for the Clubhouse and Pro Shop for Tournament luncheons resulting in an organized and professional event.

How to talk to kids about Halloween safety It can be hard for parents to get kids to grasp the importance of being safe on Halloween. The following strategies might make that task easier.

Come Halloween, youngsters’ attentions are understandably focused on costumes and candy.

Their parents, however, are likely more concerned with their kids’ safety.

In Business Since 1960

· Discuss costumes well in advance of Halloween. Many kids are so enthusiastic about Halloween that they know which costumes they hope to wear long before October 31. Parents can discuss potential costumes well in advance of Halloween before kids even know what they want to wear. Doing so gives parents a chance to encourage kids to choose bright costumes that will make them more visible to drivers on Halloween night. Waiting to discuss costumes increases the likelihood that kids will already have an outfit in mind, making it harder for parents to convince them to choose something safe.

 

· Explain that some tailoring might be necessary to make gathering all that candy a lot easier. Superman doesn’t trip on his cape in the movies, and youngsters dressed up as the Man of Steel shouldn’t trip on their capes, either. When kids pick costumes, explain to them that you might need to do some tailoring before they go trick-or-treating.

Explain to kids that costumes should be trip-proof so they can seamlessly go from house to house in search of their favorite goodies. · Create a bag or bucket design day. Depending on what kids will use to carry the candy they accumulate this Halloween, parents can plan a bag or bucket design day a few days in advance. Kids will enjoy this chance to get in the Halloween spirit, and parents can encourage youngsters to decorate their bags and buckets with reflective tape that will make them more visible to drivers. · Talk up trick-or-treating with friends. As Halloween approaches, parents can discuss how much fun kids will have going door-to-door with many of their friends. This is a good way to ensure kids trick-or-treat in large groups, making them more visible to drivers. In addition, kids trick-or-treating in large groups might be too busy joking with their friends to notice when one or two parents tag along as chaperones.

Parents can discuss Halloween safety with their children in ways that make it fun to be safe while trick-or-treating.

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.

From The Rough

GOLF NEWS

A golf tip from Larry Lutz, Hideout Golf Teaching Pro To create powerful, controlled shots, your body must have control of the club at the top of the backswing. For right-handed golfers, the right arm position is identical to that used to throw a baseball. From this position your arm provides maximum support for the club while keeping the clubface square to the target.

A pitcher’s right arm supports a baseball with minimum effort when the shoulder-toelbow portion is horizontal and the elbow-to-wrist is vertical. The same is true in golf.

This 90 degree angle in the arm at the top of the backswing makes it easy to support the club’s weight directly over the forearm and it promotes a consistent and powerful insideto-square clubhead path on the downswing.

Another benefit of putting your right arm in a throwing position is that the right wrist bends back naturally (not too cupped or too flat), setting the clubface square to the target.

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. Needless to say the course has been extremely wet with numerous days where we were closed.

Labor Day Horseshoes & Volleyball

RECREATION NEWS

Labor Day weekend marks the final round of the summer tournament series at the Outdoor Sports Complex (OSC). The day kicked off with the Horseshoe Tournament as the team of Chuck/Bob faced off against Frank/Caesar. Chuck/Bob would take the victory 24-15 in that match. Frank/Caesar would continue their slow start after falling to the team of Don/Zippy in their next match 22-13, putting them one game away from elimination. Chuck/Bob continued their dominant play getting the best of Don/Zippy 22-10. Eventually, Frank/Caesar found their toss and knocked Don/Zippy out of the running. Once again, Frank/Caesar would face off against the now undefeated Chuck/ Bob. Chuck/Bob proved too much to handle for Caesar/Frank, becoming Labor Day Tournament Champions.

Nine teams faced off on the volleyball courts in hopes of claiming this year’s title. In the first round team NJ Fire defeated Whiteout, Birds of War knock Team Dolan into the elimination bracket, Flying Pigeons pecked away at the Volleystars, and team Truncale took a bite out of team Taco. Team Truncale and NJ Fire continued winning by defeating the Flying Pigeons and Birds of War, respectively. In the elimination bracket: Team Dolan advanced over Whiteout, Simoes cleaned up Team Taco, and then went on to defeat the Volleystars. Further along in the elimination bracket Team Dolan went bird hunting as they clipped the Flying Pigeons and the Birds of War. After defeating NJ Fire, Team Dolan advanced into the final match. In an exciting winner’s final match team Truncale advanced over NJ Fire to the Championship. The stage was set for the final match as the line judges took their place alongside the court. The game started out back-and-forth with neither of the teams taking a huge advantage. Eventually, team Truncale, ran away with the game as the powerful topspin serve of Alex Cekalins proved too tough to handle.

(MS) - Most drivers are less comfortable DELIVERY driving at night than during the AVAILABLE day. Statistics indicate that drivers’ fears about driving at night are not unwarranted. According to the National Safety Council®, traffic death rates are three times greater at night than during the day. However, drivers need not stay tethered to their couches at night just because driving in the dark can be dangerous. In fact, four simple steps can help drivers enhance their nighttime visibility and reduce their risk of being in an accident.

1. Turn your headlights on earlier.

Daytime running lights can make it easier for drivers to be seen during the day, but they are not designed for nighttime driving. If you are struggling to see as evening transitions into nighttime, turn your headlights on earlier, using your car’s automatic switch setting if it has one.

2. Prioritize headlight maintenance.

Properly maintained headlights can improve driver visibility at night, and such maintenance is simple, yet effective. Simply check the age and performance of your headlight bulbs. If they are more than three years old and/or dimming, replace them to ensure optimal performance.

3. Upgrade your headlights.

A recent AAA study discovered that the halogen headlights found in more than 80 percent of vehicles on the road today fail to safely illuminate unlit roadways, even when vehicles are moving at speeds as low as 40 miles per hour. By upgrading their headlights, drivers can quickly and effectively put more light on the road. Lumileds, a leading lighting solutions company for the automotive industry, offers a state-of-the-art headlight bulb that can dramatically upgrade and improve your vehicle’s lighting. The advanced technology in the Philips X-tremeVison headlight bulb can increase vison by up to 100 percent more than standard bulbs, putting more light where it’s needed so drivers see more of the road ahead of them.

4. Keep your headlight lenses clear.

The plastic headlamp lenses found on most vehicles tend to become hazed and yellow over time from the effects of sunlight, ozone, road pollution, and carwash chemicals. Such clouding reduces headlight output and compromises nighttime visibility. Designed to restore plastic lenses in less than 30 minutes, the Philips Headlight Restoration Kit quickly and effectively combats clouding on headlights as well as taillights, turn signals and reflective lens covers, improving driver visibility while also making cars more visible to other drivers. In addition, the Philips Headlight Restoration Kit employs a protective UV coating that produces longer lens clarity while preventing future clouding for up to two years.

Halloween treat

Bacon makes everything better - even s’mores.

Halloween parties are par for the course, and spooktacular hosts and hostesses want to serve their guests something special. Enter a dessert hybrid that layers various flavors to create a masterpiece that simply works.

This recipe for “Grilled Chocolate Chip Cookie Bacon S’mores,” courtesy of the National Pork Board and Tiffany Edwards of Le Crème de la Crumb, is the Frankenstein’s monster of the dessert world. You’d be hard-pressed to find a person who can pass up the salty swagger of smoked bacon paired with the creamy richness of chocolate and the crunch and sweetness of a chocolate chip cookie. Top it with marshmallow and this Halloween treat is alive with flavor!

Grilled Chocolate Chip Cookie Bacon S’mores Yields 12

12 thick-cut slices bacon (hickory smoked, Applewood smoked or maple) 12 large marshmallows

1 egg plus 1 egg yolk

12 2-inch squares chocolate good quality

2 cups flour

12 skewers

1 3.4-ounce box instant French vanilla pudding mix, dry, not prepared

12 tablespoons butter, softened 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Make the cookies: In a bowl, cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar for 1 to 2 minutes until light and very fluffy. Add vanilla, egg and egg yolk, and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until incorporated and dough comes together. Stir in chocolate chips. Cover very tightly and chill for at least 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Roll dough into balls (about 1 1/2 inch) and space 2 to 3 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned on top. Allow to cool 5 to 10 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

To grill the bacon: Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Thread bacon onto skewers in an S-shape. Place skewers directly on grill and cook 8 to 12 minutes, rotating as needed to ensure even cooking. Transfer to a plate, let cool and then remove bacon from skewers.

Set aside.

Meanwhile, roast the marshmallows: Roast marshmallows directly over the grill using skewers or roasting sticks until cooked to your preference.

Assemble s’mores: Flip one cookie over so it’s upside down. Place a square of chocolate on top of the upside-down cookie, then top with grilled marshmallow, bacon and a right side-up second cookie. Serve immediately.

RECIPE

RECIPE

Autumn is apple-picking season, and many farmers markers, grocery stores and even roadside apple stands are chockfull of delicious apples this time of year. That makes fall the perfect time to whip up some apple-inspired foods. This recipe for “Elsie’s Stewed Apples” from Laurey Masterton’s “The Fresh Honey Cookbook” (Storey) requires a tad more effort than traditional applesauce recipes, but the extra work is well worth it in the end. When shopping for apples in advance of preparing this recipe, avoid apples that have a mealy texture as well as those that are overly sweet.

Certain activities are unique to autumn, and apple-picking certainly falls into that category. Many families look forward to their annual trips to nearby apple orchards, where they can spend beautiful autumn afternoons picking fresh apples everyone can’t wait to take a bite out of.

Get creative with apples this fall

Elsie’s Stewed Apples Serves 6 to 8 2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 pounds apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick slices 1/2 cup honey, preferably sage honey

1/2 cup white wine Zest of 1 lemon Juice of 1 lemon Fresh sage sprigs for garnish

1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, turn the heat to high and sauté until they begin to brown on the edges, about 5 minutes. If some are getting too well done, remove them and place on a plate while the rest continue to cook, then return them to the skillet when all are done.

Turn apple-picking excursions into apple pies

While fresh apples are a delight on their own, few apple afficionados can resist the temptation to make apple pie. If homemade apple pie is on your agenda this year, consider the following recipe for “French Apple Pie” from Mollie Cox Bryan’s “Mrs. Rowe’s Little Book of Southern Pies” (Ten Speed Press).

French Apple Pie Makes one 9-inch pie 1

Raisin Filling

2. Reduce the heat to low and add the honey, wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water. Cover and allow to cook until the apples are tender but still firm; you don’t want them to turn into applesauce.

2/3 6 1/2 1/4 11/2 11/2 2

3. Serve this in a bowl, tuck in a couple sprigs of fresh sage from your garden, and tell your guests all about sage honey.

Icing

Five popular German foods to try this Oktoberfest While beer might garner the bulk of the attention during Oktoberfest, celebrants would be wise to sample German cuisine when hoisting their steins during this year’s festivities.

The world’s largest beer festival, Oktoberfest takes place in Munich, Germany, every year, typically beginning in late-September and extending into the first weekend in October. Oktoberfest celebrations in Germany have been held for more than 200 years, but those who cannot make it to Munich this year can still sample many of these delicious foods at their local Oktoberfest celebrations, or even find recipes and prepare them at home.

1. Spätzle: This dish is a combination of eggs, flour and salt and is often served as a side dish. Spätzle is similar to pasta and typically accompanies meat dishes. Spätzle is popular outside of Germany as well, and some people may refer to it as a noodle while others call it a dumpling. Either way, it’s delicious.

2. Maultaschen: This dish traces its origins to Swabia, a one-time duchy of medieval Germany located in the southwest region of the country. Maultaschen is reminiscent of ravioli because it consists of an outer layer of dough that may be filled with various foods, including minced meat, sauerkraut or spinach. Herbs and spices, including pepper and nutmeg, add to the flavor.

3. Fischbrötchen: Seafood might not be the first thing people expect to see on the menus at their favorite German restaurants, but this popular northern German dish popular is very flavorful. Essentially a fish sandwich, fischbrötchen is often served with Bismarck herring or soused herring, but is sometimes served with other fish, including salmon. Onions, pickles, remoulade, and/or horseradish sauce are often added, making this a great selection for those planning to hoist a stein or two this Oktoberfest.

recipe Plain Pie Pastry (see below)

1 2

cup raisins tablespoons water teaspoon lemon juice cup light corn syrup teaspoons all-purpose flour teaspoons sugar apples (preferably a tart variety) cup confectioners’ sugar tablespoons water

1/4 1/2 1/4 1/2 11/2

cup brown sugar cup sugar teaspoon ground cinnamon teaspoon ground nutmeg teaspoons cornstarch

1

tablespoon butter, softened

To make the raisin filling, combine the raisins, water and lemon juice in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until the raisins are plump, about 15 minutes.

Separately, combine the corn syrup, flour and sugar and mix well, then add to the raisins and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until thick and syrupy, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool until the mixture is just warm, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 F. Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 rolled-out crust.

Peel the apples, cut them into thin wedges, and put them in a large bowl. Separately, combine the sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch, then add to the apples and gently stir until evenly mixed.

Spread the apple mixture in the crust in an even layer, then spread the raisin filling evenly over the apples. Brush the rim of the crust with water, cover with the second rolled-out crust, seal and flute or crimp the edges, and cut a steam vent in the center.

Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 1 to 2 hours, until completely cool.

To make the icing, combine the sugar and water and mix well. Add the butter and mix until smooth. Brush over the top of the cooled pie before serving.

Plain Pie Pastry Makes two 9-inch pie crusts 2 1

cups all-purpose flour teaspoon salt

2/3 5 to 7

cup vegetable shortening tablespoons cold milk

4. Schweinsbraten: Munich is located in the federal state of Bavaria, and this is a traditional Bavarian dish of roasted pork. In the days before refrigeration, Bavarians heavily salted or picked this dish to preserve it, and it is still served this way. Another hearty selection, schweinsbraten is a good choice for those who plan to indulge in their favorite German beers this Oktoberfest.

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until it is the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the milk over part of the flour mixture.

Gently toss with a fork and push to the side of the bowl. Sprinkle another tablespoon of milk over another dry part, toss with a fork and push to the side of the bowl. Repeat with the remaining milk until all of the flour mixture is moistened.

5. Rouladen: Rouladen is a meat dish that typically consists of bacon, onions, mustard, and pickles. These ingredients are wrapped together in beef or veal that is thinly sliced and then cooked together. Rouladen also might be served with venison or pork, but beef rouladen is the version most likely to be found at Oktoberfest celebrations.

Press the dough together to form two equal balls, then flatten into disks. Roll out the crusts right away, or wrap the dough tightly, smoothing out any little wrinkles or air pockets and refrigerate for up to two weeks. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Use a light touch and handle the dough as little as possible.

German cuisine is unique and flavorful and should be a part of anyone’s Oktoberfest celebrations.

Symptoms of dyslexia

Learning disabilities can make it difficult for kids to reach their full potential. Such disabilities can sometimes be hard to spot, and youngsters might be hesitant to self-report symptoms or problems they’re experiencing out of shame or a fear of being seen as different from their classmates.

Dyslexia, which the Child Mind® Institute notes is now part of the diagnosis “specific learning disorder,” an umbrella term that groups together reading, writing, and math disorders, is one type of learning disability that can compromise students’ abilities to perform in the classroom.

The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity notes that the signs of dyslexia can appear as early as preschool. Such signs may differ depending on the age of the child, but parents can look for the following ones that might indicate the presence of dyslexia.

Preschool - Preschool-aged children may exhibit various symptoms that may be indicative of dyslexia. Difficulty learning and remembering the names of letters in the alphabet and an inability to recognize letters in their own names are such symptoms.

Children who mispronounce familiar words, continue to speak in “baby talk” and experience trouble learning common nursery rhymes also may be experiencing dyslexia. The Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity also notes that dyslexia tends to run in families, so parents who had their own difficulties reading and/or spelling words should pay special attention to how their children handle these tasks.

Kindergarten and first grade - Children in this age group who disappear when it is

time to read and/or complain about the difficulty of reading may do so because they are dealing with dyslexia. Another potential indicator is reading errors that show no connection to the sounds of the letters on the page. For example, children who say “puppy” when an illustration on a page is a dog. Difficulty sounding out simple words like “cat” also may indicate dyslexia.

Second grade through high school - Symptoms that appear during these years of a child’s life may include slow, awkward reading; trouble reading familiar words and often compensating by making wild guesses because the child cannot sound out the word; and an unwillingness to read out loud. Kids in this age group who are dealing with dyslexia also may not have a strategy for reading new words.

Children in this age group also may exhibit signs of dyslexia through their speech.

For example, the Yale Center for Dyslexia & Creativity says some may search for a specific word only to end up using a vague term, such as “stuff.” Hesitation when speaking and language peppered with “um’s” is another potential indicator that a child might be dyslexic.

Dyslexia cannot be cured, but it can be overcome. Early screening, diagnosis and intervention can help young people become successful adults. More information is available at www.dyslexia.yale.edu.

Interesting facts about pumpkins Plenty of people are familiar with pumpkins thanks to their connection to Halloween and, of course, pumpkin pie, but few may know some of the more interesting aspects of this Halloween staple.

Halloween isn’t complete without jack-o’-lanterns, and jack-o’-lanterns can’t be made without pumpkins. · Indigenous to the western hemisphere, pumpkins have been grown in North America for 5,000 years. But while they might be indigenous to the west, pumpkins can be grown in the eastern hemisphere as well. According to contributors to the online pumpkin resource Pumpkin Nook, pumpkins are more popular in southern China than northern China. · History.com notes that pumpkin seeds do not have a long planting season. Ideally, seeds should be planted between the last week of May and the middle of June. That gives pumpkin lovers precious little time do their planting. Once seeds are planted, pumpkin lovers must wait somewhere between 90 and 120 days for the pumpkins to grow. That makes October a great and popular time to do some picking. · Pumpkin weighoffs have become popular events in many communities. At such events, growers of giant pumpkins bring their largest ones to be weighed. In 2016, Belgian Mathias Willemijns grew a pumpkin that is believed to be the biggest ever grown. That pumpkin weighed an eye-popping 2,624.6 pounds. · Pumpkins support heart health. Perhaps because they’re most often associated with pumpkin pie and pumpkin-flavored beer, the health benefits of pumpkins might go unnoticed. But pumpkins are rich in antioxidants that can help prevent damage to the eye, and the potassium found in pumpkins can have a positive impact on blood pressure. Pumpkins also are a great source of beta-carotene, and some studies have linked diets rich in beta-carotene with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. · According to Fruits & Veggies - More Matters®, a health initiative aiming to promote increased consumption of fruits and vegetables, pumpkins are fruits because they are products of the seed-bearing structures of flowering plants. Pumpkins are part of the gourd family, which means they’re closely related to fruits such as cucumbers, honeydew melons and cantaloupes.

Pumpkins are as fascinating as they are tasty, proving they are more than just a ubiquitous Halloween decoration.

REAL ESTATE Are you In The Market or On The Market?

By: Terri Ditty, Broker Associate

Here’s an interesting question… Do you think it is better to have your home placed “in the market” or “on the market”? The simple fact is, price is the number one factor that helps home buyers determine which home they want to view. And it’s important to remember that, although the price is set by you, the value of your home is determined by the buyer. Try to avoid allowing your enthusiasm to impact your better judgment – overpricing is a common mistake that can cost you in the end.

With that in mind, here are some reliable guides to use when pricing your home, all of which come recommended by the Council of Residential Specialist – a select group of REALTORS with significant experience and advanced training in residential sales.

Factors that affect your asking price: • How quickly you need to sell • The amount of competition in your price category and area • The availability, flexibility, and affordability of financing • The sale prices of similar homes sold in your area during the past six months.

BOB WIEGAND AND BILL WAGNER

Help A Hero Fund On Thursday night September 19, members of the Hideout’s “Help A Hero Fund” presented a check to a member of the Lake Ariel Fire Department to help offset medical expenses incurred by the member and his wife. To date the Fund has donated more then $30,000 since its formation in 2006.

Facts that should NOT affect your asking price: • The original cost of the property • Any investments you’ve made in improvements • The cost to build your home today • Emotional attachment • The opinions of friends and neighbors.

Problems that can arise from overpricing: • You might help sell similar homes that are priced lower • Your home may stay “on the market” longer • You could lose market interest and qualified buyers • You might create a negative impression of the property • You could lose money by making extra mortgage payments while incurring taxes, insurance, etc., even unplanned maintenance costs • A potential buyer may face appraisal and financing problems as a result of the inflated price.

Pricing your home “in the market” is both an art and a science. The right price should attract buyers, allow you to earn the most money possible, and help you sell as quickly as possible.

More important now than ever, remember to put aside trying to compare your home with others that have sold…and concentrate on how you will stand out in the current competition in your price range.

Do you want to SELL or RENT your Hideout Home? LOT to sell? ITEM to sell?

Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association Here is a list of 10 things you should know about your plumbing for your home Know where the main water source is located and how to shut it in case of an emergency. Usually located close to the meter or sometimes you may have a separate shutoff at the house. It is also important to know how to operate them. When turning the valves on and off, make sure that you do it slowly, because the water pressure may be high and the valves old.

your water heater. Water heaters do not last forever. Average water heater lifespan runs about 8-12 years. A water heater problem can leave you without hot water, but it doesn’t mean you have to do without any water at all.

Knowing where to shut off the water going to your water heater can allow you to still have water for cleaning, cooking or bathroom use.

Know how to read your water bill and meter. Verify your water usage along with each bill amount to ascertain if the charges are correct. It’s an easy way to catch leaks in your property as water leaks can cause a lot of water consumption, amounting to huge bills. Don’t hesitate to call the number on your water bill if you need help reading your bill or meter. Your local water company would be more than happy to clarify details in the bill.

Know your water pressure and make sure it is under 80 psi. High water pressure is the number 1 cause of leaks in homes or businesses. You can DIY with a water pressure gauge that runs for less than $20.00 or have your local water company come check it at no charge to you!

Regularly check your water heater pressure relief valves for leaks and always have a pan under your water heater. Especially as they age, the chances of your water heater leaking are much higher. Check your relief valve to ensure it is in good working condition and without leaks.

In case there is a leak, having a pan underneath can help prevent extensive water damage.

Know your sewage system and the location of your clean-out plugs. A vital step to solving a clog or sewer backup is knowing where your clean-out plugs are located.

Know where to shut off your gas supply. If accessible, know where to shut off the gas for each appliance and the supply. That way, if there is only an issue with a specific appliance, you won’t have to shut off the gas supply to the whole building.

Know the shut-off location for the water that goes to

Set back the spigot valve. You should install a frost-free hose bib spigot if the pipe runs through a cement foundation. This can prevent freezing during the winter season by allowing you to be able to shut the water off closer to the inside of your home.

Know the location of all your fixture shut off valves. Every sink and toilet should have a shut-off valve.

Knowing where they are can save you extensive damage and still retain water use on other fixtures. NOTE: They should not be used unless it is necessary. Some are not designed for repeated use.

Make a habit of checking for leaky faucets or pipes.

Some leaks can go undetected for a long time because the source of the leak is not visible. Here is a great resource by home water works on how to inspect for leaks in and out of your home or business.

OCTOBER 2018 • 51

Water can come from a variety of sources, such as lakes and wells, which can be contaminated with germs that can make people sick. Germs can also contaminate water as it travels through miles of piping to get to a community.

To prevent contamination with germs, water companies add a disinfectant— usually chlorine—that kills diseasecausing germs such as Salmonella, Campylobacter, and norovirus.

by obtaining a copy of RS&W’s Consumer Confidence Report.

Chlorine was first used as a drinking water disinfectant in Europe in the late 1800s. It was first used in the U.S. in 1908 in Jersey City, New Jersey. Today, chlorine is the major disinfectant used to disinfect public water systems.

How can I find out what's in my drinking water?

Many public water systems must add a disinfectant to the water. The disinfectant must be present in all water found in the pipes that carry the water throughout the community. Most communities use chlorine.

Household Water Treatment Even though EPA regulates and sets standards for public drinking water, many Americans use a home water treatment unit to:

household member has a compromised immune system • Improve the taste of drinking water

Household water treatment systems are composed of two categories: point-ofuse and point-of-entry (NSF). Point-ofentry systems are typically installed after the water meter and treat most of the water entering a residence. Point-ofuse systems are systems that treat water in batches and deliver water to a tap, such as a kitchen or bathroom sink, or an auxiliary faucet mounted next to a tap.

The most common types of household water treatment systems consist of:

Filtration Systems A water filter is a device which removes impurities from water by means of a physical barrier, chemical, and/or biological process.

Water Softeners A water softener is a device that reduces the hardness of the water.

A water softener typically uses sodium or potassium ions to replace calcium and magnesium ions, the ions that create "hardness."

Distillation Systems Distillation is a process in which impure water is boiled and the steam is collected and condensed in a separate container, leaving many of the solid contaminants behind.

Disinfection Disinfection is a physical or chemical process in which pathogenic microorganisms are deactivated or killed. Examples of chemical disinfectants are chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and ozone. Examples of physical disinfectants include ultraviolet light, electronic radiation, and heat.

Chimney maintenance a part of home safety

Even though chimneys do not require daily upkeep, regular maintenance efforts help chimneys operate safely and prevent deaths and injuries while protecting homes from fire.

As temperatures drop and thoughts once again turn to lighting fires and sitting down with a good book, it’s important to revisit chimney maintenance. Various problems can arise when chimneys are not well maintained. Such problems include chimney fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, and early failure of the chimney and heating sources that the chimney vents.

Carbon monoxide can be scary, as it is virtually invisible without a proper detector. The National Vital Statistics System says that, in 2015, 393 deaths resulted from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning in the United States. When carbon monoxide is breathed in, it builds up quickly and combines with the blood, reducing the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. The Canada Safety Council says that body tissue and cells can’t function without oxygen.

Chimney fires are another potential byproduct of poor chimney maintenance. The Chimney Safety Institute of America notes that chimneys expel the byproducts of combustion, including smoke, water vapor, gases, unburned wood particles, hydrocarbon, tar fog, and assorted minerals, which can condense on the inside of the chimney flue.

The residue, called creosote, is highly combustible. With the right conditions, a chimney fire can occur.

To avoid chimney fires and other risks, take these precautions, courtesy of CSIA, HomeAdvisor and Popular Mechanics. · Have chimneys inspected annually and properly cleaned by a professional chimney technician. · Make sure tree branches and other obstacles are cleared away from the top of the chimney. · Use seasoned hardwoods that have been split for several months to a year. “Green” wood creates more creosote. · The top-down method of building a fire produces less smoke. This means using larger pieces of wood on the bottom and the smallest twigs and kindling at the top. The fire will burn from the top and down, igniting the wood beneath as it goes. · Put a cap on the chimney to keep out rain, snow, and small animals. · Keep fires small; otherwise, the intense heat may damage bricks and mortar in the chimney. Repair any damage promptly before lighting another fire. · Open the damper and fireplace doors so that air supply flows freely and can vent the smoke promptly, reducing residence time in the flue; otherwise, creosote can form. · Install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms throughout the home and routinely check the batteries.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

To stay safe walking, follow these rules of the road: 1. Walk Facing Traffic When Walking on the Side of the Road

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

9. Know When to Stop Walking Heat sickness, dehydration, heart attack, or stroke can strike walkers of any age.

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

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

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.
