FROM ANDREW MILLER

Board President’s Message

O

n August 31st, I was delighted to be joined by the Lake Ariel Volunteer Fire Department and Ryan's Angels in announcing the launch of a capital campaign to build a new firehouse and update the existing building in Lake Ariel.

At that time, Ryan's Angels presented a $10,000 check to the Fire Department, which is intended as a down payment on the non-profit's efforts to help fund professional grant writers to seek government and private funding. Our local elected officials joined us, including State Representative Rosemary Brown, Wayne County District Attorney A.G. Howell, Sherriff Chris Rosler, and Lake Township Supervisors Robert Batzel and Scottie Swingle. Their support will be vital in the time ahead as they seek funding, land, and permits to undertake this enormous undertaking.

The event was covered in the Tri-County Independent Wayne County charity to help volunteer firefighters get new fire house (tricountyindependent.com) and is scheduled to be by WNEP. Those interested in assisting in this fundraising effort can log onto https://ryansangels. org/ and type LAVFC Capital Campaign in the donation memo.

On September 11th, the Help A Hero Fund held their annual memorial program at Reflection Park. Its President, Robert Wiegand, was a guiding force in creating the park and conducting these memorial services to remember the many brave emergency services personnel who gave their lives to save others. Thank you, Bob and the Help A Hero Fund, for never forgetting that tragic day and for the tens of thousands of dollars raised to support local charities and our military personnel serving abroad.

As you know, earlier this year, the membership approved bylaw changes to limit the number of short-term rentals to ten times per year. For more information on these new rules, which go into effect

on January 2023, go to https://www. hideoutassoc. com/Rentals.

Recently, Lake Township passed a new Short-Term Ordinance, which complements our new rules. It defines short-term rentals as less than 29 days, requires permits and inspections of all short-term rental homes, requires a local contact person to address violations, places caps on the number of guests permitted, and contains driveway requirements. You can get a copy at https://laketwpwayne.com/wp-content/ uploads/2022/08/Short-Term-RentalOrdinance4037.pdf. Salem Township is considered a similar ordinance. https:// salemtwpwayne.com/wp-content/ uploads/2022/07/Short-Term-Rental-draftOrdinance.pdf.

Lake Township also passed an ordinance establishing a 35 miles per hour speed limit on some township roads. https://laketwpwayne.com/wp-content/ uploads/2022/08/Draft-Speed-LimitOrdinance-Lake-Twp.docx. While these new rules do not impact any Hideout roads, our 25 MPH is being enforced

by Public Safety. So please slow down, whether in or outside of The Hideout.

Finally, on a personal note, I want to thank the members for allowing me to serve on the Board for the past three years. We went through a lot during this time, but I believe The Hideout is a better and stronger community, having weathered COVID-19, the Great Resignation, and record inflation. It's due to the efforts of my fellow Board Members, our dedicated staff, volunteer committees, and the membership for making everything we accomplished possible.

Annual Meeting at the Main Lodge

THE HIDEABOUT NEWSPAPER

FROM LARRY FROTTEN

Community Manager’s Message

M

embers and staff

The leaves are starting to fall and the temperatures are giving us a mixed bag of signals. We have had some cool nights and some warmer than normal day temperatures. The cool temperatures are an indication to us that we must begin the process of getting our homes prepared for the change of seasons. Our Maintenance staff has been busy at work preparing our buildings for the coming seasons. The stormwater projects will continue as long as the weather allows. We have many stormwater-related projects and if you are on the list, we ask for your patience. We address the projects and give priority to members who are more at risk.

Members should watch for the announcement of the drawdown of Roamingwood Lake. Our lake is lowered each October and permits are granted by the State for the drawdown. This year, the drawdown is scheduled to commence on October 17. All watercraft must be removed from the lake at that time. Docks should be prepared for the drawdown.

By the time members read this message the election for the Board will have been completed and the results announced. We hope you have participated in this important activity.

The Board is responsible for making the policies that govern The Hideout and the administration implements. Serving on the Board can be demanding both in time and decision-making. We encourage members to get involved whether it is as a candidate or serving on the many committees we have at The Hideout.

The Hideout is a four-star community

because of the many volunteers we have who assist in the operation of the community.

We invite all to enjoy the beauty of the Fall season and hope you will partake in the many amenities and offerings we have here at The Hideout. We are looking forward to an improved Ski Hill. We have added some electrical components which should enhance the Ski Hill experience. We have also increased our tube run capacity. This year we are scheduled for our PA State inspections early. We have been advised four inspectors have been scheduled to do our inspections in one day, October 4, 2022. This is the first time in memory the State has been able to accommodate us with such an early schedule. We are also excited with some new staff who will take charge in the operation of the hill.

We wish to congratulate Joe Kozuch on his retirement. Joe served The Hideout in many capacities during his 34 plus years of service. His last assignment was Director of Public Safety. We wish him a long, healthy, and enjoyable retirement.

We are also pleased to announce a promotion of one of our employees.

Tammi McCabe has been selected to become the Food and Beverage Manager. Tammi has years of experience in the food and beverage industry and in management. We wish Tammi success in her new assignment.

THE HIDEABOUT NEWSPAPER

FROM RICHARD YOCUM

Chairman's Message

W

ith the colorful fall foliage and crisp air, October in The Hideout is a wonderful time of year. Please check this issue of The Hideabout for all the fun activities The Hideout has to offer us.

October is also a month when two events occur that are very important to the continued success of The Hideout. These are the Annual Meeting and committee applications. While I will be the first to admit these may not be as fun as a Fall Festival, apple picking or Halloween, they are necessary for our community to function and move forward.

Annual Meeting: This year’s Annual Meeting will be held at the Main Lodge on Sunday October 16th at 10am. This is when the current Board meets for the last time to conduct business and the election results are read into the official record. Then the new Board meets in closed session with the Association’s attorney as chair. During this session the new Board elects their officers.

Following the closed session, the new Board is introduced to the community.

Also, as directed by our Bylaws, during the Annual Meeting the community elects 3 members to the Nominating Committee for next year’s election. This is the only Committee whose members are elected by the membership. Any member in good standing can be on the Nominating Committee. If you would like to be on the Nominating Committee, you must have someone nominate you from the floor

(audience). When the nominations are completed, the members in attendance vote for who they want to be on the Nominating Committee.

Committees: October and November is that time of year when we traditionally ask our membership to volunteer to serve on our numerous committees. Members of a committee serve for staggered 3-year terms that run from January to December. The size of a committee can range from 3 to 9 voting members and alternates are allowed. To apply for a committee(s) just pick up an application at the POA, fill it out and return it to the POA. Also, committee applications are available online on The Hideout website. Go to the committees’ tab, fill-out and submit your application. The application has a list of all the committees in The Hideout.

Committees are an important vehicle for change here in The Hideout. Committees funnel new ideas, suggestions, and recommendations to management and the Board.

OCTOBER 2022 • 5

FROM TINA CORMA, OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR

Public Safety Corner

F

or this month’s edition of our Public Safety Corner, we would like to wish Public Safety Director Joe Kozuch a happy retirement.

Joe’s career with The Hideout spanned over 35 years. On September 25, 1987, Joe joined The Hideout Security Department as a Patrol Officer. Joe made many valuable contributions to the department that resulted in a promotion to Patrol Sergeant in 1988, Patrol Lieutenant in 1993, Operations Captain in 2001, and ultimately to his current role as Public Safety (Security) Director in 2003. Joe’s passion for serving The Hideout membership, guests, and visitors inspired him to continually develop and improve the Public Safety Department.

Joe’s influence spanned from developing The Hideout Emergency Response Team (HERT) and standardized departmental operating procedures to pursuing a sense of comradery amongst his fellow

employees. From the moment you call a Public Safety Communications Officer to when a Patrol Officer professionally completes a call for service, Joe’s imprint in department mentorship and training is evident. As our department moves forward, many of us will recall Joe’s leadership throughout our day. In Joe’s own words, “as members of The Hideout Public Safety Department, we are committed to achieving the highest possible quality of life for the community to which we serve.”

On behalf of the entire department, Joe, thank you for your dedication to The Hideout, and congratulations on your retirement! ■

Communications Corner

F

all is here, so get outside and enjoy the beautiful colors and crisp air because the cold days of winter are near!

The Communications Committee is looking for some additional members. If you are interested in volunteering, please visit the POA Office to apply.

As you can see in this Hideabout issue, there is so much to do in The Hideout this Fall, and we do our best to communicate that with our community members.

The function of The Hideabout Extra is to give you a day-by-day guide on what is available to do in The Hideout.

Additionally, it provides updates that have occurred since the printing of the previous month's Hideabout Newspaper.

You can find The Hideabout Extra in the "bird feeders" at the Main, North, and Stock Farm Member Gates and the Main and North Mailbox areas. The Hideabout Extra is updated biweekly and you'll know it's an updated version by its change in color.

Thank you for following the "official" Hideout POA Facebook page. We keep it as up-to-date as possible with what to do in The Hideout, amenity hours, schedule changes, and amenity closures. It is a

valuable form of communication between the Administration and the membership.

You can find us by searching @thehideoutpoa on Facebook and looking for The Hideout Flower!

Also, keep an eye out for The Hideout TV Channel (Adams channel 920) and Hideout email blasts for current information from the Administration.

If you have any questions or suggestions on how we can best communicate with you, please don't hesitate to call me at (570) 630-3707 or email me at lgreen@thehideout.us. I look forward to hearing from you!

Do you have questions or suggestions for a particular Hideout department? You can find the Management Team's contact information on page 7. Reaching out to the department manager can get you the most accurate information.

As always, enjoy your time in The Hideout! ■

The Speed Limit in The Hideout is

FROM JOHN BOANDL, RECREATION MANAGER

Recreation Corner

I

hope everyone is ready for the fall.

We have a really busy November and October ahead of us. Please see attached calendar for all dates for upcoming events. We have a flea market, harvest festival, children’s Halloween party, and a Trunk or Treat planned for the Month of October.

We are very proud and pleased to announce that we will be adding a bike share program for the year 2023. We will be using custom 7 speed bicycles made

by On Share bike sharing program. The bicycles are specially made for bike share and use components designed for ease of use, high durability, theft prevention, rider safety, and low maintenance. For instance, our bikes use the Shimano 7-speed gearing. This gearing provides a wide range of gearing to accommodate a wide range of riders on varied terrain.

Our frames use oversized tubing with an anti-theft seat post, and some cabling is routed through the frame for safety and durability. Our bikes also use punctureresistant tires to reduce flats, fenders to protect riders from water spray, and a

basket for utility.

Plus, our bikes use an alloy frame and components, which are more resilient to the elements. Some of our bikes are also available with a secondary frame lock that provides a way for riders to temporarily lock the bike while they stop somewhere. Riders check out bikes using our free smartphone app.

Once riders install the app and register for your program, they use the app to view available bikes and select the bike they want to use. The App automatically unlocks the bike from the rack using the phone's Bluetooth to communicate with lock. Each bicycle has a Bluetooth lock attached to the front of the bike, which is used to 'dock' the bike into the rack.

I hope to see you at one or all of our events in October. Also, please save the date for our Annual Tree Lighting, which will be held on December 3rd.

THE HIDEABOUT NEWSPAPER

FROM DENNIS POLHAMUS, FACILITIES MANAGER

Facilities Corner

F

all is in the air! As summer comes to and end and fall approaches the Hideout Public works dept would like to thank all of our members for a fantastic 2022 summer season. The parks, beaches, pools and all other amenities were full throughout the summer. The Public Works dept worked extremely hard to ensure everything was fully operational and looking beautiful. With the summer over we continue our stormwater remediation work into the fall and early winter months.

As of Sept 1st, the Public Works Dept has about 120 stormwater projects on the list for correction this list includes the Maplewood Swale project, The Golf Course stormwater Project and more work on Hideout owned swales. Some of this work will be scheduled for the 2023 spring as winter approaches. Stormwater will always be one of our top priorities as we work upgrading the community to eliminate damage to properties and debris from entering our waterways. Members with questions or concerns in regard to Stormwater may contact Craig Rafaniello at ext. 132 or email crafaniello@thehideout.us As many of our members have noticed there have been some upgrades to our amenities and we plan on continuing these upgrades for the future. The Public Works Dept plays a vital role in building maintenance and ensuring everything runs at full capacity.

The Public Works Dept is gearing up for 2023 and we are getting plans ready for items to be replaces and or repaired in 2023. We will be getting all vehicles and equipment ready in October for the upcoming snow season and this includes all snow plows, salt spreaders and our salt shed. We currently have plenty of salt to start the season. We will be ready to handle whatever mother nature throws at us.

The Tiki bar project has gone back out to bid due to receiving one bid that was

over budget. We hope to receive additional bids due to the time of year.

We want to start the tiki bar project in Oct/Nov of 2022 with a completion date of May 1, 2023. This is the last project scheduled for the 2022 season all other projects are completed.

Roamingwood lake will start the Annual draw down mid-October with a draw down of 5ft below normal pool. This drawdown allows members to complete shoreline improvements, Vegetation management and prevents ice build up around docks.

All boats will need to be removed from the marina by the start of this draw down as we will be removing all hideout owned docks.

Trash and recycle will continue to operate at the normal hours MondayFriday 6am-8pm and Saturday and Sundays 8am-8pm. Bulk Garbage will continue to accept items Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 11am-12:30pm. Bulk Garbage is for members in good standing only. A bulk Garbage pass is required to use this amenity and members without a pass will be turned away. Contractors are not permitted to use this facility as they should be taking construction material to the local landfill. Members that are performing work to their home are also required to obtain a dumpster on their property to remove the debris. The Hideouts Bulk garbage center is designed for normal household items to be disposed of and construction material will not be accepted due to the rising cost for the hideout to dispose of those items.

Some lite construction material will be permitted. Members that are in need of a bulk garbage pass please contact Desiree Detres at Ext 133 or email ddetres@thehideout.us. ■

risp air, falling leaves, and bright colors indicate Fall has arrived. Take time to enjoy the beauty in The Hideout while the scenery continues to change.

October in The Hideout is full of activities for all to enjoy. Columbus Day weekend is October 8-10. Our annual Trunk or Treat will take place on Saturday, October 29 with our super heroes, ghosts, goblins, and witches parading around the Lodge parking lot.

It has come to our attention that some members are not receiving mailings from The Hideout. If you have moved or your billing information has changed, please submit a change of address form. The form can be found at the Registration department, located at the POA/Administration building, Tuesday – Saturday, from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. It is also available on our website: www. hideoutassoc.com where documents and forms are located under the resources tab.

As temperatures dip, some may be

planning on heading to warmer climates for the winter.

Please be sure to update your contact information with Registration. It is important that our records are current and up to date so we can contact you in the event of an emergency.

Although not as hectic as the last couple of years, resales and new member meetings continue to keep us very busy at the POA. There are many new faces in the Hideout. We encourage you to say hello to your new neighbors.

Be sure to keep up with all the Hideout activities. The Hideabout Newspaper and Hideabout Extra can be picked up at the mailboxes, Indoor Sports Complex, and POA or can be viewed on line at www.hideoutassoc.com for dates, times, and locations of additional events. ■

7 ways to reduce breast cancer risk

M

any women are concerned about the potential for developing breast cancer in their lifetimes. Breast cancer is the second-most common cancer among women in the United States. Despite that prevalence, there are ways for women to reduce their risk for breast cancer.

OCTOBER 2022 • 15

AASSKK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!

While it is impossible to change family history or genetic markers like gene mutations that increase breast cancer risk, the following are seven ways women can lower their risk.

1. Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight. Physical activity and monitoring calories can keep weight in check. The Mayo Clinic recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity. Strength training at least twice a week also is recommended. Being overweight or obese increases a woman’s risk for breast cancer.

2. Consume a healthy diet. The link between diet and breast cancer risk is still being studied. However, research suggests that a diet high in vegetables and fruit, and calcium-rich dairy products, but low in red and processed meats may lower breast cancer risk.

3. Avoid or limit alcohol consumptions.

Alcohol increases risk of breast cancer, even in small amounts. For those who drink, no more than one alcoholic drink a day should be the limit. The more a woman drinks, the greater her risk of developing breast cancer, states the Mayo Clinic.

4. Undergo genetic counseling and testing. Women concerned about a genetic connection or family history of breast cancer can speak to their doctor about testing and counseling that could help them reduce their risk. Preventive medicines and surgeries might help those at elevated risk for breast cancer.

5. Limit hormone therapy. Combination hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women may increase risk of breast cancer, indicates the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Similarly, taking oral contraceptives during reproductive years may increase risk.

Women can speak with their physicians to weigh the pros and cons of taking such hormones.

6. Breastfeed children, if possible.

Breastfeeding has been linked to reducing a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer.

7. Learn to detect breast cancer. Women should get to know their bodies so they can determine if something is awry as early as possible. Early detection of breast cancer increases the chances that treatment will prove successful.

s hot, humid days give way to cool fall temperatures, it is prime time to enjoy a new bounty of fresh vegetables. Homeowners may be ready to pick the vegetables they have been growing the past several months. While many home vegetable gardeners focus on early spring plantings that yield the tomatoes, cucumbers, and squashes of summer, they also should consider summertime sowing that will yield tasty offerings throughout fall. Some of these cooler-weather stock can be harvested just before frost sets in. Individuals ready to bite in to produce plucked at the peak of fall have many different options to look forward to. Here are some of common fall produce items that will be available at farm stands near you well into November. · bok choy · broccoli · cauliflower · kohlrabi · leaf lettuce · spinach · mustard greens · Swiss chard · turnips · beets · brussels sprouts · cabbage · green onion · kale · peas · radishes ■

HASG Golf League

By: John and Audrey Martino Wow! Sadly, another fantastic season has gone by and we finished the season the same way we started it! With a rainout! The “Rain gods” determined we weren’t going to play on the last day of September 8th and we didn’t! BUT--- It didn’t stop us from having a great season and finishing luncheon and everyone had a great time and everyone took home a door prize. Our awards were given out and the average putting contest finished with two ties. A first-place tie between Pete Campbell and Robert Trombley which was decided by a coin toss. Robert winning that one. Third place was a tie between Neil Levinsky and Marge Conlon each getting equal reward prizes. It was too bad, we couldn’t play that last day because the playoff contest would’ve been a blast!

The first-place lowest average score was taken by Tim Egan and followed up with Judy Coulter in second and Audrey Martino in third. The team of Jill Eulitz, Tim Egan, Larry Keifhaber, and Audrey Martino also took home a reward for lowest team score of a “30”--- WOW!.

All in all, it made for a fantastic year with everyone having a blast. The League had 63 signed up players, with an average weekly player participation of 54 players.

We have become very popular and it looks like we could have 80 players next year.

Anyone who has any interest in playing golf or starting to play should check out our league because it is a social league and our contests are based on weekly averages where everyone plays with different people every week. It is designed so everyone has a chance and can be competitive even if a “NEWBIE”. At the end of the season, all our golfers will have played with at least 50 different players in a Captain’s Best Ball format. We are: One; a great way to meet people here in The Hideout, Two; a great way to start the game of golf; Three; a fun way to spend Thursdays and laugh and have a great time with our “average” scoring contests.

If you are interested, talk to your neighbors and they will tell you about our league or give me a call.

Hopefully we will see you next year. ■

ENVIRONMENTAL PAGE From: Paul Matarazzo B.Env.Sc., Environmental Manager G

reetings,

It’s Here! Fall is upon us, the leaves are changing to many different shades of reds, yellows, and oranges. Halloween decorations are soon to go up, and football is on tv every weekend. While much of the environment seems to be slowly coming into its winter hibernation, there is quite a bit to reflect on.

Lakes • As many have inquired about, the annual drawdown of Roamingwood Lake will begin to occur on Monday, October 17th.

Roamingwood Lake will begin refilling to pool height on Wednesday, March 15th 2023. o Please have all boats removed, and docks prepped for winter / removed prior to the October 17th drawdown date.

• With only two closures for E. coli early on in the 2022 recreational season, we had smooth sailing and swimming in comparison to 2021, that had a combined five lake closures due to harmful algal blooms, and E. coli levels. o Nature Works did an excellent job in managing the treatment of all three of our lakes, and acted quickly when needed. o In Pennsylvania, lake treatments must cease for most plants and algae post October 1st, therefore any problemed algae spotted in the lake after this date will be left untreated. Generally, the colder temperatures that follow October 1st do not allow for excessive growth of vegetation. o We strive to continue to keep our lakes clean in the coming summer of 2023, and remain open to our members as much as possible.

• Walleye stocking is set to occur during October, fall is the ideal time to stock this species, and when our local fish hatcheries have them available. Walleye play a key role in managing the forage fish species in Roamingwood Lake, which will make for a great addition in ecosystem management practices, as well as opportunities for our resident sportsmen.

Contest • A contest will be held throughout the months of October and November for

fall foliage submissions. The goal is to submit a photo emphasizing the color change of the leaves, while also capturing wildlife in the photo here in The Hideout. A winner will be announced in the December Hideabout article, as well as their photo featured in the paper. o Photo submissions can come from members of any age. o Smart phones take great photos too!

Don’t fret if you do not have access to a professional camera. o Please submit all photo entries to the environmental manager at pmatarazzo@ thehideout.us with your name and lot number included.

Presentations • Look for the Delaware Valley Raptor Center to be putting on a presentation this month to educate our residents on birds of prey in our area. o This is a great opportunity to learn more about the beautiful birds we see every day here in The Hideout such as eagles and red-tailed hawks.

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

Yellow-Crown Night Heron, Nyctanassa violacea

• This month we are switching things up a little bit, the bird in discussion is a Pennsylvania native, but not to our region. Not only is the yellow-crown night heron outside of our NEPA locality, but it also finds itself on the Pennsylvania endangered species list. While these birds are in trouble in PA, they are not listed as endangered on the national scale; however, they are protected as are all other migratory birds in the United States.

• The yellow-crown night heron is a rare find in Pennsylvania, their breeding grounds are located in the southeast corner of the state; utilizing the Delaware River / Delaware bay area as their eastern shore home. Many factors play a role into their endangered classification, including increased and continuing habitat loss due to urban development and a restricted breeding population. When combining low reproduction and diminishing habitat, a recipe for disaster occurs.

Committee Opening • One more opening is available in the Wildlife and Forestry Committee, the committee currently has 7 members, with a maximum capacity of 8 allowed. This committee is suited for those that have a vested interest in preserving native habitat within The Hideout, and looking after our local wildlife, ensuring that they remain in good health, and are properly managed.

For information on this committee, please reach out to the environmental manager at: o 570-698-4100, ext.120 o pmatarazzo@thehideout.us • Aside from the Wildlife and Forestry Committee member opening, the committee is also in search of volunteers to help maintain, and add to the Roamingwood native garden. Activities would include things such as plantings, weed management, and other routine gardening. ■

Did you know that The Hideout has had a TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) program in place since Spring 2019?

Members that are observing feral/community cats roaming around their property can get enrolled in the TNR program by completing the online, PDF fillable “Consent to Trap Form” available here https://www.pdffiller.com/en/link_to_fill/672769522.htm.

Are you interested in getting involved as a C Alley Cats volunteer or wish to make a donation to their non-profit organization? Please email calley@ptd.net or call them at (570) 226-6780.

habitat type is their taste for crayfish, which is the focal point of their diet. One can conclude that small streams with great water quality make wading for crayfish much easier for the yellow-crown, hence why they love calling them home. On the simpler side of things, great water quality not only makes finding crayfish easier, but also allows crayfish to be present. Crayfish are a great indicator of excellent water quality, and more often are not present without it. While these birds have been known to nest on the lower reaches of the Susquehanna River basin, as well as the Delaware river and Bay, degrading water quality in result of habitat loss and destruction has driven them away.

Yellow-crown are extremely human tolerant, and will nest in urban areas; but many times, this in turn does not support good stream and water quality resulting in their evacuation.

• In conclusion, if you are lucky enough to spot these rare nesting birds in Pennsylvania, observe from a distance!

It is of the utmost importance to protect, and not harass their nesting areas. For a greater chance to observe these beautiful birds, Florida serves as a year-round nesting area, as well as many coastal regions of South America.

• As aforementioned, the yellow-crown is endangered in PA, but not nationally. PA is only a small fraction of the bird’s breeding range, which occurs predominantly in the South-Central United States, as well as South America. The warmer coastal climates create much more suitable habitat for the yellow-crown than the eastern seaboard.

• The yellow-crown night heron is small in stature when compared to the more common blue heron that we see often in NEPA. The yellow-crown comes in at 22-28 inches in length, and approximately 1.5-2.0 pounds in males. Female yellow crowns are generally slightly smaller than their male counterparts, but similar in size. They sport a charcoal grey main body, with a black band around their neck directly below their bill. Throughout their face there is black banding, followed by a yellow stripe down the center of their head with pointed feathers jetting out from the rear of their head. Yellow crowns are very unique in appearance, and very different from many other species we more commonly observe.

• Yellow-crown night heron enjoy setting up shop near small shallow streams in warm climates. What draws them to this

s you navigate the journey [buying your next home / selling your home], it might be a good idea to review some perspectives on counteroffers before you find yourselves in negotiations.

People often have preconceived notions about offers and counteroffers. For instance, some people assume every offer requires a counteroffer. This isn’t always the case. Sometimes when a reasonable offer presents itself and the conditions are right, it’s perfectly fine to accept an offer and move forward as quickly as possible. Offers include price and terms… sometimes, terms are more favorable than price…Like financing, inspections, and closing dates. Sometimes…the highest offer isn’t the one you will choose. As you review offers, it’s important to keep this in mind.

You'll need to weigh an offer appropriately. As you entertain offers or

make counteroffers, you need to take into account your desires with the property in question, the condition of the house, comparable prices, and how long the home has been on the market. Also look at opportunities where you might improve offers to smooth the process or sweeten the deal.

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

PHYSICAL THERAPY

Physical therapy for pickleball players

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

P

ickleball blends a trio of paddle sports: badminton, ping-pong, and tennis.

Today, more than five million people participate in pickleball and 10% of those players have only picked up a paddle since the pandemic began. Although the overall population of those who play pickleball is getting younger, many players are between 50 and 70 years old. It’s a very low-level sport to pick up for those who do not have strong athletic backgrounds, and that is the appeal for many. But it leads to a lot of people playing and potentially being deconditioned. With a small court size of twenty x forty-five, pickleball involves quick movement spurts of 1-2 steps either forward and backward or sideways. These quick changes in direction can place significant demands on hamstring and adductors muscles, meniscus, Achilles tendons, and plantar fascia of the foot. Common acute injuries across all pickleball players include adductor strains, sprained ankles, Achilles ruptures, and tennis elbow. Low back pain is another injury often reported by pickleball players.

Older pickleball players have reported knee injuries, followed by shoulder and hip injuries. These individuals can be more susceptible to these type injuries because of age related changes of the collagen and decreased elasticity of these structures. Factors contributing to these older player injuries include decreased mobility, poor footwork, altered motor control, and instability in the core and gluteal musculature. It is important, for rehabilitation to focus on helping the players soft tissues and joints meet the demands of pickleball.

If there can be one thing that all pickleball players could benefit from it would be to integrate more strength and power training into their workout regime. Also, an effective way to prevent injury and promote health even further is dynamic warmups, (warming up with movement). Guidance on how and when to work on flexibility will also help them thrive in their sport. The program doesn’t have to be elaborate, but 5 to 10 minutes of multi plane movements and dynamic stretching prior to getting on the court can make sure that the player is ready to go safely. ■

THE OLD OAK TREE While strolling down a country road, I saw an old oak tree, Its branches reaching toward the sky As far as I could see.

The sun so hot, I stopped to rest Beneath its shady leaves, And thought… how magnificent Is this mighty old oak tree!

I wondered how it ever got thereThere was nothing else in sight!

Just then a bird perched on a branch,

Retirement Planning Wealth Preservation Portfolio Management Estate & Financial Planning Long Term Care & Life Insurance Traditional Fixed Income Equities & Annuities

Resting from its flight.

Lake Ariel KatzFinancial.net andrew@katzfinancial.net

Who could have planted such a tree?

What purpose could there be?

It was then I realized God had prepared A resting place for me.

His loving arms stretching wide, Just like that old oak tree Gave me strength to continue on The path He’d set for me.

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.”

In addition to High Holy Day services, the congregation holds regular Shabbat services each month. Beth Israel also has an active religious school for children.

Roamingwood Sewer and Water Association

RS&W Wastewater Treatment Plant Project Is Underway RS&W Plant Odor Update In late spring early summer 2021 and 2022, before commencement of the Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Project, the Odor Control Stations were updated with the necessary maintenance and were appropriately feeding chemical into the Low-Pressure System (LPS) as the temperatures and weather changed. RS&W has always and will continue to maintain an inventory of the necessary odor oxidizing chemicals.

In June 2021, the PaDEP Technical Assistance Department was on site at the WWTP along with a chemical product vendor to run trials with Odor control products. The PaDEP, Vendor, and RSW all supplied products.

Seven products were trialed in raw sewerage from the RS&W collection system. All these samples and data were evaluated. A third-party vendor was again on-site with RS&W employees to further trial odor control chemicals.

Shortly after the PaDEP visit, the department sent their results in a report to RS&W on their recommendations.

As a result of the above testing and these PaDEP results/recommendations, RS&W is feeding two different chemicals at three separate locations. Endimal SH is being fed through a programmed matrix in SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) at the two existing locations of the odor control stations (dosing is following daily flows). The third location is feeding Sodium Permanganate at the head of the WWTP to address breakthrough odors.

With the assistance of Keystone Engineering a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) monitoring system was installed at the head of the WWTP to read any potential breakthrough H2S odors. At this time RS&W has begun a major WWTP upgrade project requiring tanks to be drained, cleaned and old sludge to be removed from the WWTP site. Tanks are being rebuilt and put in and out of service to keep this upgrade project in motion.

Additionally, temporary tankage is being utilized with temporary blowers and temporary air lines to keep biological treatment ongoing to meet permit requirements through this project. All this activity is an extensive, complicated, and difficult work. To minimize any odors, RSW has also began removing sludge more frequently instead of digesting, decanting, and storing on-site. There is also inventory of oxidizing chemical on-site to dose potential breakthrough odors through the WWTP upgrade project in the event additional odors arise.

Another result of working with PaDEP Technical Assistance Department, was the possible use of a new chemical magnesium hydroxide, to address hydrogen sulfide from forming and creating odors. After a series of onsite testing with the PaDEP and the chemical vendors technical team in 2021, we found that this chemical may help on controlling odors. This new chemical, magnesium hydroxide, works by adjusting the systems pH to a specific level so that hydrogen sulfide cannot form. In September 2021, RS&W purchased a small amount of this chemical to trial. In October 2021 RS&W made a few attempts to utilize this magnesium hydroxide to address odors. Due to the heavy particulate in the chemical slurry, our existing feed systems would not feed without issues. A few modifications were made to attempt to address these blocking issues, but RS&W was not able to feed the heavier product effectively with the existing equipment. The chemical manufacturer was notified, and they will try to locate a heavier slurry pump to trial their product in our system. RS&W will further pursue this option once the WWTP upgrade project is completed, because this project is redirecting flows and biological activities throughout the WWTP for the next two (2) years. These changes may impact H2S odor generation, which we believe to be for the better. Once the WWTP upgrade is near completion, RS&W will be prepared with the possibility of utilizing the installed H2S technology to auto feed chemical and a Magnesium Hydroxide trial, if needed.

RS&W has the ability to monitor air and wastewater liquid for H2S odor and odor causing parameters today and will continue to monitor and utilize as required.

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. ■

Hideout Adult Bowling League

On September 7th (our practice week) our NEW Season came alive when the Hideout Adult Bowling League men & women came through the doors for an explosive afternoon on the lanes. No OFFICIAL scorekeeping. Only new members bowled to establish their averages on their 1st week of bowling. All returning bowlers maintained their Book Averages from last season.

WEEK 1 Highlights from PRACTICE WEEK. Larry Triolo rocked the house with an outstanding 617 High Series, Geoff Gliebe was in the zone with a 221 High Game, Pasquale Mozzone hammered out a 212, Larry Kiefhaber fired off a 209, Charlie David slammed the pins for a 208.

Lorraine Procopio smached the pins for a 188 High Game, Doris Kane blasted out a 187 High Game, Cindy Gaspari raked in a 168 High Game, Sue Dimmick iced a 165 & Gail Endorf reeled in a 158 High Game. Wow!! Vinny Recchio's Birthday Announcement created back-slapping well wishes and excitement that echoed throughout the House.

A Warm Welcome to our NEW Bowlers: Ken Bertani, Bob Hoffenberg and Carolyn Renna.

We are so delighted to have RETURNING BOWLERS back with us: Laura Hinton and Rich Rosenberg. We hope Laura had fun last week & look forward to seeing Laura & Rich throughout the season.

Best Wishes to our members who left the League due to get-away, personal and/

or sickness related reasons: Bernard Chiarella, Denise & Rich Guiffredo (Snow Birds), Carol Lopiccolo, Mike Messina, Edna Moran, Laura Rusnak and Peter Tomasetti.

Our warmest wishes and prayers to Bob Fezza currently home, Tom Maher (who is in the hospital) and Angie Mennona undergoing knee surgery on 9/15...for their quick recovery to good health.

On behalf of the Officers, we wish you an exciting 2022-2023 Season packed with teams blitzing the lanes with pocket hits.

We hope our men & women overpower the pins & take total control of their lanes every Wednesday.

I am not who I thought I was My cuz has made that clear This world so round Is badly bound With problems and despair The cause my friend May cause the end Much sooner than we think As waters rise to drown us out And heat melts us to the brink There are ways to stop this purge The urge is there each day Change while we can So all of man Can once again find ways To cool us down The world around To keep the ice in place Then all my friend Won’t see the end Of this our only place.
