Radisson Community Association would like to thank
Marty Quinn and Chief Chris Evans from the Belgium Cold
Springs Fire Department, Deputy K. Kruger from the Sheriff’s
Department and Trooper J. Cicora from the New York State
Police for taking time out of their busy schedules to speak
at our seminar. If you would like to become a member of
our Neighborhood Watch Group please go to our website
(www.radissoncommunity.org) and update your user profile
page/subscriptions and click on the e-mail bulletins you
would like to receive.
Highlights:
The BCSFD has 62 people in their department and they
have two stations. Station 1 is located on River Road South
and Station 2 is located in Radisson on corner of West
Entry and Loop Roads. Both departments respond to all fire
calls. The BCSFD is always recruiting for volunteers to help
out which includes helping out behind the scenes. Anyone
interested in volunteering can contact Kit Thompson at
Station 2.
Carbon monoxide detectors are now mandated in every
house and apartments; the battery operated ones are
recommended. Chief Evans recommends one carbon
monoxide detector on every level of your house.
Marty said that the Fire Prevention program has been
reaching out to the youth population and this has reduced
the number of calls over the last 5 years; they are very
pleased with their success.
Fire pits and small campfires are permitted; but there is
no open burning permitted from March 15th to May 15th.
Trooper Cicora and Deputy Kruger said that car break-ins
are on the rise all over Onondaga County and Radisson has
been an ongoing target!! There is one simple solution to
this problem- LOCK your vehicles and keep any valuables
out of sight. The criminals will keep coming back if there
are things to steal. They don’t like to break windows
because it takes too much time and draws attention to
them. If everyone follows these simple rules the criminals
will find another neighborhood to hit. Criminals are looking
for easy things to pawn for quick drug money; electronics,
GPS units, designer sunglasses, money (purses & wallets)
are what they are looking for. Trooper Cicora recommends
keeping a record of all serial numbers on any electronic
items; this will be easy way to retrieve any stolen items.
It’s also important to have visible house numbers so any
emergency personnel can find you as quickly as possible;
every second counts in an emergency.
Deputy Kruger said speeding is a problem in most
residential neighborhoods. Getting a license plate number
and reporting it to the police doesn’t help because an officer
can only issue a ticket if they witness the offense. If there
are problem streets the street can be reported to either the
Troopers or the Sheriff’s and they will try to patrol that area
when they have time. Normally there are only 1 to 3 officers
on the road to cover a large area; emergencies always take
priority.
Trooper Cicora & Deputy Kruger said that the new Move
Over law is very important for the officer’s safety. When a
driver sees/hears sirens they should slow down and pull
over to the side when it’s safe; do not slam on your brakes
or drive in the pathway of the emergency vehicle.
If you see any suspicious behavior please call 911 and
give a description of the person or vehicle. It is not normal
for people to be out walking the streets at 2:00 in the
morning and they are probably up to no good.

From The Executive Director by Lynn Tanner
I admit it. After sixteen years, I
grew quite attached to my office
at the Oberon Center. So, when it
came time for us to make the final
move to our new office location,
I had mixed emotions about it. I
was thrilled to be in a larger work
space that offered privacy, and a
better welcoming area for the residents, but it also stirred up some
wonderful memories of the very
special people that I have worked
with, while overlooking the pool,
for many years. But as they say,
whenever a drafty door closes, a
new and improved window opens!
The staff and I worked very hard on
making the necessary renovations
to the new office building to best
accommodate you, the residents,
as much as possible. We now have
a large reception area for the many
residents that stop in to fill out
forms, or pay their dues. The volunteer committees that have had
to meet either in their homes, or
work around dance/scout schedules at the Aspen House, can now
utilize our new conference room.
The biggest news is that there are
no stairs to get into our office! We
have installed an ADA (Americans
with Disabilities Act) Compliant
door and will be making improvements to the sidewalk this year to
complete our ADA Compliant entrance. We do have a new rule, to
try to keep the building as nice
and new, as possible. We have implemented a No Pets Please policy.
We will have a “Pooch Parking”
area for your dog outside, and biscuits available for their anticipated
good behavior. A great many people have asked what we will be
monday
Sunday
10
doing with our old office space.
That has not been decided on yet.
The Planning and Amenities Committee is looking into possibilities
for its use.
We were very pleased to see
the number of residents that came
out for our Neighborhood Watch
Seminar. Chief Chris Evans and
Firefighter/EMT Marty Quinn informed the residents that the Belgium Cold Springs Fire Department
responds to approximately 450+
calls per year. Although one of
their fire stations is located in the
Radisson Corporate Park and the
other on River Road, both fire stations respond to all the calls. They
encouraged those in attendance to
call 9-1-1 as soon as a fire or medical emergency presents itself. They
would rather respond to a medical call quickly, than to have you
wait until it becomes a more serious medical emergency. Trooper
J. Cicora and Deputy K. Krueger
gave the residents some very valuable information. One of the most
important messages from their
presentation was regarding the
car larcenies from last fall, which
have started up again recently. In
an amusing, yet very straight forward way, they said, “you’ve got
good sh^* here in Radisson and
the kids that are stealing your stuff
for drug money are just going to
keep coming back as long as they
keep getting good stuff”. They further explained that when the vandals aren’t finding what they are
coming for (quick cash, electronics to sell, etc) they will stop coming back. All in all, we considered
the night a huge success and

definitely plan on doing another seminar next year. We greatly
thank all our speakers for coming
out to discuss such important issues with us.
While there hasn’t been much
movement to report on, the Board
of Directors is continuing discussions with the owner of the Radisson Greens Golf Course and researching the various studies that
would need to be completed on
the course.
Finally, I’m happy to introduce
you to two new part-time staff
members. Our new Garden Consultant, Pat Rickard, will be writing a monthly column for the Reflections. Her column will have
some gardening tips that I’m sure
that you will find very helpful. Pat
will be working with me to identify areas in need of landscaping
improvements and overall sprucing up. After these areas have been
identified, Pat will be directing our
Garden Committee volunteers to
work on these various projects.
They have already done amazing work since the group’s inception and I’m thrilled that Pat will
be able to assist us in keeping this
effort continuing. If you are interested in joining the Garden Committee, please email us at info@
radissoncommunity.org. Also joining us is Greg George, ASC (Architectural Standards Committee) Assistant. Greg will be assisting John
Mancinelli, ASC Administrator in
processing ASC applications, assisting the residents with ASC related questions and working with
the Architectural Standards Committee.

FROM THE ASC COMMITTEE
As spring approaches we tend to
examine the exterior of our homes
assessing its condition from the winter effects. Exterior painting for most
of us is one project we wish never
needed to be taken care of. However, there are important procedures
in prep and paint application, that if
taken can greatly improve your performance and quality of a paint job.
1. The first step in preparation
for exterior painting is to pressure
wash your house using a mild detergent and bleach, making sure flaking
paint, dirt, mildew, algae, wasp nests,
and other obstructions are removed.
There are manufactured washing
brands that are properly formulated
to meet the objective. Once washed,
scrape any remainder of loose paint
off with a sharp scraper and metal
brush. Sand any bare wood to prepare it for primer.
2. If you find mildew still exists
after this process, you may need to
apply bleach to a rag and scrub these
areas. Mildew is attracted to the oil
in oil-based paints but will grow on
latex paints as well. Allow all surfac-
es to dry thoroughly before caulking
and priming bare wood.
3. Exterior painting is significantly improved with proper caulking.
When caulking trim to siding, always
spread the bead of caulk with your
finger. This will improve adhesion.
When caulking trim to brick, make
sure you use a very narrow bead of
caulk but do not spread with your
finger, or you will make a mess of
the caulk line and have to clean your
brick.
4. Check your home for any bare
wood and prime with a high quality
latex primer or a top quality oil base
primer. This primer coat is the only
coat that bonds directly to the wood,
it needs to be of top quality. A top
coat of paint on your home is no better than the first coat that is applied
to the wood. If the first coat (primer)
fails, then the top coats and primer
coat peel off together.
5. For a professional appearance,
mask around light fixtures, motion
sensors, electrical boxes, etc. If you
are planning to use a paint sprayer
for your siding, plan to cover all win-
dows with plastic and tape. This will
save you a lot of time in clean up.
6. Avoid time consuming clean
up by protecting shrubs, walk ways,
roofs, patios, etc with drop cloths.
Clean up will cost you much more in
time than your cover up efforts.
7. Paints have optimum conditions
in which they should be applied. It
is best not to paint in extreme heat,
cold or in the presence of precipitation. Check your paint can label for
temperature restrictions.
8. In most cases you will want to
paint the siding first and then the
trim. If you are planning to stain or
paint your decks or patio, do them
last, since you will be working off
them during your project. It is best
to work from the top down since you
will be dripping some paint.
9. If you are planning to use a roller to apply paint to lap siding, you
will need to back brush to smoothly
spread the paint. Roller naps leave a
texture to the surface. Be sure and
coat the underside edge of each
board of lap siding to prevent water
absorption from rain.
10. Cedar shingles with their uneven surface can be painted with a
4” brush or sprayer. You can achieve
the best look using a paint sprayer to
coat cedar shingles and most other
types of siding. When spraying, assure that you apply an even coat and
back brush for a professional look.
Substandard preparation may
save you a little bit of time, but you
will pay for it in durability and quality of appearance. It is always best to
take your time with the above procedures. They will produce a paint job
you will be proud to display.
Approval from the Architectural
Standards Committee (ASC) is required before you begin your project. Approval is needed for color
changes and for painting/staining
the same color. Don’t forget to review the Architectural Standards
Guide for paint/stain requirements.
Applications and the Architectural
Standards Guides are available at
www.radissoncommunity.org and at
the RCA office.

Radisson beautiful~
NOMINATING COMMITTEE LOOKING FOR ASC VOLUNTEERS
Do you enjoy looking at the different styles and colors of the homes
in our community? Have you noticed
how each section, and even each
street has its own style, flair, its own
“architectural language”?
If you can answer yes to either of
the above questions, then we may
have a perfect role for you! The Architectural Standards Committee
is made up of resident volunteers
who work with the guidance and assistance of a professional architect.
Using the ASC Guidelines, the committee reviews applications for exterior improvements and modifications
that homeowners wish to make to
their homes. They also serve an important role protecting our property
values.
The Architectural Standards Committee may have a couple of openings for new members in the near
future. If this is something that you
may be interested in, the Nominating
Committee would like to hear from
you. Please complete a volunteer
membership form located on our
website, located under Governance
& Staff/Committees.

e started to see some signs of spring this week
at Radisson Nursery School. We enjoyed learning
about the wind, mud and learned about more
colors to end our color month.
The three-year-olds finished up color month with black,
white, brown and rainbows. There was sponge painting
with cotton balls & tire painting with “mud.” The children
enjoyed the books Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Mouse Paint
and A Rainbow of My Own.
We also made our own rainbows with droppers, watercolors and coffee filters.
The four-year-olds enjoyed learning about spring. We
used brown finger paint to make a “pigs in the mud” and

binoculars to look for animals in the woods and a map to
find the caves with bears. The children brought their favorite bears to school. The best part was eating delicious
s’mores for a snack!

Dr. Judy Ivey ~ Damaged Emotions
Damaged emotions and unhealed
memories from our past experiences
effect our personalities and lifestyles
each day. Unresolved and denied problems that have been pushed underground will reappear later in illnesses,
over focused behaviors that may be
dysfunctional, or unhealthy relationships with emotional destruction. Our
goal is to remove these damaged emotions and negative experiences so
we can function in optimistic mental
health with joy, motivation, and
accomplishment.
Where do these damaged emotions come from? There may be a deep
sense of unworthiness with feelings
of anxiety and inferiority. The person
believes they can never succeed or be
accepted—that everything they do is
wrong. This produces emotions that
correspond to this belief system of unworthiness, and the person acts out
the feelings in their behavior. Another
kind of damaged emotion may come
from a sense of having to be perfect.
This person believes they must always
do better than they do and that they
will never accomplish this. The damaged emotion that accompanies this is
they are extremely imperfect and will
not get better. A third kind of damaged
emotion comes from super sensitivity.
This person has been hurt deeply in
life experiences so he/she reaches out
for acceptance and approval. Instead,
the opposite may occur, and deep scars
inside from this can sometimes make
that person supersensitive to thoughts
and actions of others toward them. A
last area of damaged emotions exists
with people who are filled with fears.
The fear of losing, for example, is so
intense that persons who may be afraid
to lose in the “game of life” may choose
or sit on the sidelines and not experience real adventures or feelings.
How can healing and growth occur
when there are damaged emotions?
Face your problem directly...with
honesty, confront awful, hidden memories that may have occurred. Express
this to others; this takes courage, but
you can do it. By being open, and praying—beginning healing will encourage
you to hold that damaged emotion in
sorrow and forgiveness, and it will begin to be less important.
Accept your responsibility...you may
not have caused the problem, but how
did you respond to the problem? Did
you learn to hate or deny or escape
to an unreal world? Knowing you are
responsible for the part you may have
done gives you choices on how to determine the next step of this problem
and bring healing to your emotions.
The ability to make your own choices
in this matter also gives you power in a
situation that may have caused you to
be feel powerless in the past.
Be sure you want to be healed...
do you really want to heal your damaged emotions or do you just want
to talk about your problems? Do you
want sympathy or a crutch so you can
have an excuse for blame and unforgiveness? Look deep in your mind and
heart to be sure you want to heal and
move forward Be aware that what you
choose may be setting a standard for
the next generation in problem solving
and healing.
Forgive everyone involved in your
damaged emotions...even the ones who
have hurt you the most. We sometimes
do not want to forgive because then
there will be no one to blame—forgive
anyway—you will begin to heal.
Forgive yourself...you may feel
blemished by damaging experiences
and people who have hurt you in the
past, but you are not. You are a work
of art, created to move forward in capability—a splendor that is new each day.
Be kind to yourself, look at your positive ways. Strive to become a healedhelper; as you are healing, you use the
lessons you have learned through pain
and trauma to reach out and help others. From difficulty has come good, and
you continue to grow and improve.

April Gardening
by Pat Rickard
I would like to give Radisson
property owners and gardeners
information covering various
and diverse gardening topics.
This first article will focus on
what can be done in our gardens
in April. In Upstate New York
that can be a challenge as spring
is usually slow to arrive. However, April provides the time to
prepare your property and gardens for those busy months of
the year. Gardeners are now
chomping at the bit to get outside digging in the dirt again.
However, that is one of the last
items on the list of April chores.
Snow that came early has been
a protection to plants providing
insulation from the devastating
effects of a deep frost without
snow cover. The amount of snow
we received this season will also
replenish the underlying water
table which is so important to
gardening and to the root systems of trees.
Here’s a list of what can be
done in April:
After a general yard clean-up,
take a walk around your property to do a site evaluation of trees,
shrubs, perennial beds, foundations, hardscape. Take notes on
what did or did not survive this
harsh winter season and what
needs to be done to the various areas that signal a change;
removal of certain plants that
are dead or badly damaged, evident pruning jobs, cutting back
ornamental grasses before new
growth.
Take notes on which perennial garden beds you may want to
redefine including transplanting
certain plant material, changing
the shape or design of specific
beds, creating new beds.
Get rid of the old mulch but
refrain from digging in soil that
is still too wet. When testing soil
a handful of soil should fall apart
and not stick together. That’s the
time to add compost preparing
your beds for planting.
Fertilize shrubs and trees in
April.
When the bulbs you planted
last fall start to appear and the
stalks are evident, fertilize using
a 20-20-20 formula.
Fertilize all perennials.
Edge beds once the ground
thaws edge beds.
Transplant any plants, trees
and shrubs before they leaf out.
When the temperature reaches 50 degrees consistently crabgrass will germinate; apply a
preemergent to lawns. Fertilize
lawns after the first mowing.
Evaluate your plant material
and garden design once plants
start to grow. Decide on what
plants to move, divide or discard. Re-design a garden space
that needs a face-lift. Research
what new and different varieties
of annuals and perennials are
being offered this year.
The sun was warm but the
wind was chill. You know how it
is with an April day.
