The Board of Directors

had a very active fall.

We’ve secured a new

lease for the TLTC,

established a new 3-year

contact with the Team-

sters (our maintenance

department), and secured

an agreement to continue

our trash service with

Waste Management for

2015. In addition, our

current security

contract runs out at the

end of 2014, so we have

been evaluating our exist-

ing service and sent out

an RFP to other providers

to ensure we are getting

the best service for our

needs. The Rules of

Conduct and ACC Rules

and Regulations have

also been reviewed and

are being updated for

2015.

I wanted to share that we

recently had a problem

with burglaries with the

community. Thanks to a

very observant neighbor,

the person was caught

and turned over to the

State Police. I want to

take a moment to say

thank you to this resident

and encourage all of you

to watch out for your

neighbors and report any

suspicious activity.

On behalf of the Board of

Directors, I would like to

thank all of our commit-

tee members, volunteers,

and employees for their

hard work and dedication

this year. You are the

glue that holds our

community together.

Happy Holidays!

Lake Preservation News

The Towamensing Trails Lake Preservation

committee recently stocked 200 smallmouth

bass on October 14th 2014. This was

accomplished through donations collected

from our community members and groups.

We would like to thank everyone who

donated the money needed for this event. It

is truly appreciated.

Volunteer Spotlight

I’m writing this to give our deepest and

heart felt thank you to Brian and Sue

Denham. They work tirelessly to host

TLTC events for our community. They

volunteer their time, their props and their

amazing imagination to bring fun things to

do in the trails throughout the year. They

do get help from community members to

set up and break down these events and for

that they are very appreciative.

We also have all the people that

volunteered for the community clean up

days this past summer and for that we

would like to simply say thank you for an

outstanding job!

Now we are asking you, as a community to

continue this Trails spirit and volunteer

your talent or time to make the Trails even

better. If you have an event idea, recipe,

news to share or even your opinion, please

contact the teepee or the publication

committee and we will direct you in the

direction you need to go.

Remember the Trails are only as GREAT

as WE make it!!! So think of how you can

improve our community and contact us!

We are looking forward to your input.

The ACC Committee has an opening for a new

committee member

The ACC Committee is responsible for the compliance and enforce-

ment of the rules and regulations within the Community as

outlined in each phase of the Protective Covenants and ACC rules and

regulations.

If you can read a blue print , know anything about building codes or

you are interested in learning please fill out a Committee Resume.

The CERT Committee is looking for New Members

CERT is a training program that prepares people to help themselves, their families and

their neighbors in the event of a disaster in their community. Through CERT, Property

Owners can learn about disaster preparedness and receive training in basic disaster

response skills such as fire safety, light search and rescue, and disaster medical

operations. With this training, volunteers can provide critical support by giving

immediate assistance to victims before emergency first responders arrive on scene.

If this sounds of interest to you please fill out a Committee Resume. You may pick up

a resume at the Teepee or visit www.towamenisng.com.

Equipment and major components (like

pool equipment) must be replaced from

time to time, regardless of whether we

plan for the expense. We prefer to plan

and set the funds aside now. Reserve

funds aren't for extra expense-they just

spread out expenses more evenly.

There are other important reasons we

put association monies into reserves

every month:

Reserve funds provide for major repairs

and replacements that we know will be

necessary at some point in time.

Although a roof may be replaced when

its 25 years old, every owner who has

lived around it should share in its

replacement costs.

Reserve funds minimize the need for

special assessments or borrowing. For

most association members, this is the

most important reason.

Reserve funds can enhance the resale

value of your home. Lenders and real

estate agents are aware of the ramifica-

tions for new buyers if the reserve

funds are inadequate. Pennsylvania

requires associations to disclose the

amounts in their reserve funds to pro-

spective buyers through the Resale.

The American Institute of certified

Public Accountants (AICPA) requires

the community association to disclose

its reserve funds in its financial

statements.

Pumping your septic tank is probably the

single most important thing you can do to

protect your system. If the build up of solids

in the tank becomes too high and the solids

move to the drain field, this could clog and

strain the system to the point where a new

drain field will be needed.

So please remember to pump your system

regularly.

How often your tank needs to be pumped

depends on the tank size, the number of

people living in the home, and the habits of

that particular household.

(Please see graph).

When it’s time to pump, be sure to hire a

licensed contractor. He or she will have the

appropriate equipment and will dispose of

the sludge at an approved treatment site.

You can find listing for licensed haulers in

the Yellow Pages or online.

Why Does Our Community Need a Reserve Fund?

Septic Tank Maintenance Reminder

level of the chemical serotonin in the brain.

SAD is diagnosed more often in women

than men and can perhaps be hereditary.

Seeking a doctors treatment is always rec-

ommended however lifestyle and home

remedies may help.

So don’t fret if you think you might suffer

from SAD … there are things you can do

that may help you get through the long win-

ter months in the Trails. Make your home

sunnier and brighter by opening all blinds

and trim any trees and bushes that might

block windows or skylights. During the

daylight hours sit as close as possible to

windows while at work or at home when

Autumn brings with it a brisk breeze, the

smell of hot cider, pumpkins, and an array

of glorious colors. But unfortunately for

some people the festive Fall season turns

eventually into winter depression or

“Seasonal Affective Disorder” also known

as SAD. People suffering with this disorder

can become depressed, moody and lack

energy during the winter months. They can

also experience appetite changes, oversleep-

ing and weight gain.

Researchers have found that the reduced

level of sunlight can disrupt a person’s in-

ternal clock and can lead to feelings of de-

pression and may cause a change in the

reading or watching TV so you may absorb

as much of the natural sunlight. Bundle up

and get outside as much as possible by tak-

ing a brisk walk or simply sitting on a bench

by the lake with a friend. Exercise or some

type of physical activity helps relieve stress

and anxiety both of which add to SAD

symptoms. Being more active, eating right

and social activity can always lift your

mood.

So although it’s cold outside, warm your

heart with friends and family and bring

sunshine into your life by getting involved

in various activities and enjoying our beauti-

ful community.

What you’ll need: 1. Green Felt 2. Glue (craft glue, or hot glue) 3. Yellow foam beads and/or

other assorted “ornaments”

Instructions: Roughly measure out a piece of green felt to see how tall you want your tree to be. You want the candy cane trunk to show :) Keep the felt folded and cut out a Christmas tree shape.

Now it’s time to decorate. Pull out the candy cane and glue on a star and some ornaments. You can use Elmer’s Glue-All or hot glue depending on ages (and speed you want to go!).

Just allow time for the glue to dry before inserting the candy cane again.

Hi boys and girls! I am Santa's helper Elf -Elfie. Very

soon my friends and I will be visiting your house to

help Santa get his Naughty and Nice list ready. We

are magic elves that watch and listen to everything

you do. Every night we go back to the North Pole to

let Santa know if you have been naughty or nice.

Please don't touch my friends and I, we will lose our

magical powers and have to go away for awhile.

Listen to your parents and teachers and follow the

rules so we can tell Santa lots of nice things about

you. Can't wait to come visit and watch as you get

ready for Christmas!

Boost your immune system, stay healthy, fight the pesky flu bug

and treat the symptoms if you do come down with something

with these home remedies.

Green tea is known to have many properties that can help keep

you in tip-top health – and therefore better prepared to ward off

cold and flu bugs. The jury is out on how many cups of tea are

optimal, but 2-3 per day are often recommended. If you do come

down with cold or flu symptoms (or feel them coming on),

consider 3-4 cups of green tea per day to expedite ridding your

body of those nasty bugs and give your body’s defenses an extra

jolt.

Ginger’s health benefits have long been touted. Steep several

slices of fresh ginger root in hot water and sip for an extra health

boost or to soothe a cough or scratchy throat.

Honey is known to bolster the immune system. A daily dose of

honey can help you to feel energetic and stay healthy. It also has

antibacterial and antimicrobial properties; if you do develop a

sore or scratchy throat, honey will soothe and help heal. Use it

in your tea, coffee, plain hot water or by itself. You can even

gargle with honey (and lemon) in salt water when the mixture is

at room temperature. (Do not give honey to children under 1

year of age.)

Lemons are loaded with vitamin C, which is known to support

the body’s natural defenses. Lemon (and lime) juice is reported

to decrease the strength of the cold and flu virus in the body and

reduce phlegm. Add lemon juice to your tea or make hot or cold

lemonade with honey to stay well, build resistance to cold and

flu, and speed up healing if you do succumb.

Garlic may be known to ward off vampires, but it can also ward

off colds and flu. Garlic contains the immune-boosting

compound allicin, also know to relieve cold and flu symptoms.

Chop or crush 1-2 gloves of fresh garlic and “steep” them in hot

water; then, drink it like a tea. This may also help others keep

their distance from you (unless they’re attracted to the smell of

garlic), preventing further spread of the virus (wink, wink).

Peppermint tea is laced with nutrients that help the body fight

off illness. It also can act as an expectorant, helping the body to

cough up mucous.

The truth is many of the old standard home remedies, when used

regularly and properly, can be your body’s best – and least

expensive – defense against colds and the flu, also helping to

minimize their impact if they do take hold.

Jim Thorpe's remains have been at the memorial park in

Carbon County for over 50 years. His family wanted the

remains returned to his Native American tribe in

Oklahoma,, but a court overturned that request, so Jim

Thorpe's remains and the monument will stay in Carbon

County.

Last but not least the Publication Committee

would like to wish all our readers a

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy

Kwanzaa, Saint Nicholas Day And Las Posadas

and a Very Happy New Year, we hope you have

enjoyed each issue as much as we have enjoyed
