From The Executive Director
by Lynn Tanner
It’s hard to imagine, but the
summer months have come
and gone. The Oberon Pool is
closed and school is back in
session. Summer is a wonderful time of year, but I know that
I, for one, tend to push myself and do too much during
those months. So, even though
my children are no longer of
school age, I look forward to
the schools reopening and
getting back on schedule, so
to speak. And with the return
of school, of course, there are
children waiting at their respective bus stops and school
buses running throughout the
community. We will be install-
ing our speed display unit
sporadically throughout the
community to bring to the attention of drivers their speed.
Please drive carefully to keep
our children safe.
The Oberon Pier upgrade
will be started soon. The first
step in this process is to have
the walkway around Oberon
Lake replaced, and needed
drainage added to the area.
During this time that area will
be unavailable to walkers, etc.
We will post this information
on our web site to keep you
up to date. The next step in
the renovation project is to replace the railing. Weather de-
pendent, that project will be
done this year. If it’s not able
to be completed this fall, parts
have been ordered and maintenance will be able and ready
to start on this project with the
first break in the weather next
spring.
The Communications Committee has just completed a
summer hiatus, which was a
well deserved break after the
time and effort that the committee dedicated, along with
staff, to redesign the web site.
They are now going to reconvene and look more closely at
the website for content to be
updated, broken links, user
friendliness, etc. All these areas
and more will be evaluated.
Now that you’ve all hopefully
had the chance to use the new
web site, the committee would
like to hear from you, the
resident, as to what you like/
don’t like about the site. What
are some areas that could use
some improvements? Please
submit your constructive criticisms and/or compliments
to the committee at: info@
radissoncommunity.org.

FROM THE ASC COMMITTEE
From the ASC
By Kristin Laurie, Radisson resident and ASC Member for 2 years.
Although I grew up in Central New York, I had been living in New
England for over 12 years, when I had the opportunity to move back to the
area. When family and friends learned that I was moving to Radisson, the
response I recieved was “that’s the place with all the rules and they won’t
let you do anything without getting permission first.”
The flip side of that perception is that Radisson is a great place to raise
a family, with the parks, trails, pools, tennis courts and a world class golf
course all within our community borders. Because of all the extras and the
“rules” many residents find their homes will hold their property values,
when compared to other neighborhoods within the area. Which is why I
chose Radisson to make my home.
As a member of the Architectural Standards Committee (ASC), I learn
something new every day about the approval process. The ASC is composed
of 7 members, one of which is an Architect who lives within the community.
Over the past two years, from a resident perspective and now as a
committee member, here are a few things I’ve learned…
-Sometimes (many, many times) people don’t submit complete
applications!
Be sure to complete applications prior to submission. And yes, I’ve
been guilty of this as well. Typically there is a small checklist on every
application. Review and ensure all items listed are attached.
-Photos, photos, photos…
One photo says it all. Photos of the area to be impacted are tremendously
helpful.
-If you’re not sure, have questions, don’t know what a survey is,
can’t find the guidelines, call the RCA, and ask for John.
We have many good resources and one of them is named John Mancinelli,
the ASC Administrator. If you are unsure, or have any questions, John is
a great resource for residents as well as the committee. He can provide
advice or assistance with any application. John may be contacted by e-mail
johnm@radissoncommunity.org or by calling the RCA office at 635-7171.
-I never thought of that!
Resource number two…as mentioned above we have an excellent
Architect that sits on the committee. His name is Joe Cavino and he
provides technical expertise to the committee. Many times a homeowner
will submit a project and Joe will make suggestions that will improve the
project that you may not have thought about. I find that he has the ability
to think of a project from a different perspective and often provides great
suggestions to homeowners!
-Please don’t avoid or ignore a violation.
I am amazed by how many people receive a violation, and don’t respond!
Maybe the thought is, if I ignore it then it will disappear. It won’t. I always
tell people, if you get something and you don’t understand it, or disagree,
you always have the right to discuss it with the committee. 90% of violation
notices are very simple to resolve (trash cans on the side of the house,
trailer in the driveway, grass too high etc..) please just move it or mow it or
whatever it takes to fix it. Your neighbors will thank you.
I know that the extra time it takes to get approval for projects can
be annoying. However, it’s one of the things that helps to maintain our
community and make it a great place to live!
Notice Regarding ASC Property Inspections
During regular business hours
(Monday–Friday from 8:00 am to
5:00) our ASC Administrator will be
out in the Radisson Community do-
ing property inspections. These inspections include going onto homeowner’s property which is allowed
under the Radisson Declaration,
Article V, Section 11. All ASC forms
& documents can be found on our
website: www.radissoncommunity.
org.
Please Note: The ASC Administrator at times will be wearing an
orange safety vest with a Radisson
Employee ID tag.
??? Did You Know ???
Applications are required
to paint your home the same
color? We know what you are
thinking…why do I need to
submit an application to paint
my house the same color it
currently is?
The reason why we ask is so
we know the paint/stain colors
will be the same. It also helps
to make sure your property
folder in the RCA office is up
to date. More often than not,
people do not know what the
paint colors are on the house.
We can help to assure you
are painting/staining with the
right colors when a completed
and approved application is
on file.
If you will be painting/
staining your home the same
color you will not need to
wait for the next ASC meeting
to get approved. If your
application
is
completed
and all of the items on the
application
checklist
are
checked, your application may
be pre-approved before the
next scheduled ASC meeting.
Paint/Stain
applications
are available in the RCA
office and our website
radissoncommunity.org.

Dr. Judy Ivey
In my last article in Reflections I
presented information in an article
defining “choices,’’ power, and control issues that occurs between child
and adult in making individual choices. There was discussion about the
framework that needs to surround
good choices. Such a framework involves being honest, loyal, and committed; also being caring, supportive,
and encouraging of others and self.
Consequences and responsibilities
are part of the package of “choice”
so that one does not feel entitled to
(believe she/he has the right to), but
that choice is a privilege and carries
consequences on the other side of the
coin of choice. Therefore, if I have a
choice to behave and think a certain
way, I must accept the responsibility and consequences of this action,
whether it is positive or negative.
The next important point to focus
on is how to make good choices and
decisions. First, make a sentence in
your mind of what choice you want to
make. For example, you may decide
“I want to get ready for school in the
Fall” so this would be your sentence in
your mind. Second, brainstorm ways
you can go about accomplishing this.
This example would be to think of the
areas I need to prepare for, such as
physically, am I working out in activities to keep in shape? Another area
of self preparation is mentally; am I
sharpening my mental skills by reading, reflecting, and writing to encourage new thinking? The third area of
self is spiritual preparation; am I looking beyond myself to eternal power
to reshape my inadequacies and to
strengthen my identity and essence
at a higher level? Last, am I preparing self socially so I can communicate
honestly to make and improve
friendships? Have I learned how
to say “no” to unhealthy choices?
Can I role play to build my assertive
skills so I can be confident with others? Now that I have viewed physical,
mental, spiritual, and social aspects
of myself, I can better decide “how I
want to get ready for school in the
Fall.” This helps me stay motivated
through the rest of the summer and
set short-term goals on expectations
for the Fall. Out of each of these four
areas, I will choose specific activities
that will connect with my short-term
goals. If the choices are good…I will
continue daily; if the choices need to
be changed, reevaluate and proceed
forward with new choices toward the
same short-term goals. As you complete this decision-making process
of choice, brainstorming alternatives,
acting, evaluating, you can begin new
decision-making choices using this
framework.
How do you choose and apply
consequences? Consequences should
relate to the situation that occurs.
There needs to be loss of privilege or
removing of an article that is significantly important to the person who
made a wrong choice. This removal
needs to occur within 24 hours of the
event that happened. Consequences
that are given for days and weeks
ahead are not as effective. Consequences need to get the individual
to personally focus on what needs
to change. If a child is old enough,
drawing a picture or writing in a personal journal 1) what did I do wrong
2) how do I fix it 3) what do I do the
next time. This can bring attention to
choices that need to be changed.
Live…laugh…love…grow—it’s
a choice! Please make a positive
choice!!!

Nicholas Ohrazda, a teacher at RayMiddle School in
Baldwinsville, recently participated in the Honeywell Institute for Ecosystems Education
at OnondagaLake. The weeklong program, held at the beginning of August, was lead
by naturalists, ecologists, and
teachers from the Onondaga
Audubon Society and the MontezumaAudubonCenter. Local
teachers studied the Onon-
dagaLake watershed, including basic watershed concepts,
stream ecology concepts, and
bird survey skills, and they
participated in a field investigation. Ohrazda received
classroom resource materials
to aid him in bringing innovation into the classroom and in
developing lessons for his students.

News From Assemblyman Will Barclay
Reported Lyme Disease Rates Increase in Pets
Area veterinarians have begun to
test for Lyme disease in dogs and
cats. At one Central New York veterinarian’s practice,
210 dogs and cats tested positive for
Lyme Disease this year alone. While
dogs and cats are frequently infected
and treated with antibiotics, they only
become symptomatic 5 to 10 percent
of the time. Humans, however, almost
always become symptomatic when infected with Lyme Disease. The growing number of reports of Lyme Disease
in pets is a warning sign to be vigilant
in detecting deer ticks on ourselves.
Though more common in eastern
New York, the deer tick has made its
way toward Central and Northern New
York. Statistics for infected humans
still reflect a relatively low amount
of sufferers (about 100 in both Onondaga and Oswego counties annually). However, the Wadsworth Center
for Laboratories and Research of New
York State reports New York has the
highest number of confirmed cases of
Lyme Disease in the United States.
The disease is a bacterial infection
usually recognized by a distinctive
skin lesion, accompanied by headaches, stiff neck, myalgias, fatigue and
possible swelling of the lymph nodes.
Not all symptoms are seen in every
case which complicates a diagnosis.
While treatable with antibiotics, unrecognized and/or untreated patients
may develop meningoencephalitis,
myocarditis or even arthritis, particularly in the knees. Lyme disease may
be brief or chronic, persistent and incapacitating. The chronic disease state
may resolve in time with or without
antibiotic treatment. Patients treated
with antibiotics in the early stage of
the infection usually recover rapidly
and completely. Since Lyme disease
first became reportable in 1986, over
77,000 cases have been confirmed in
New York State.
People who spend time in grassy
and wooded environments are at an
increased risk of exposure. The chances of being bitten by a deer tick are
greater during times of the year when
ticks are most active. Young deer ticks,
called nymphs, are active from midMay to mid-August and are about the
size of poppy seeds. Adult ticks, which
are approximately the size of sesame
seeds, are most active from March
to mid-May and from mid-August to
November. Both nymphs and adults
can transmit Lyme disease. Ticks can
be active any time the temperature is
above freezing.
Not all deer ticks are infected with
the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.
Ticks can become infected if they feed
on small animals that are infected.
The disease can be spread when an
infected tick bites a person and stays
attached for a period of time. In most
cases, the tick must be attached for 36
hours or more before the bacteria can
be transmitted. Lyme disease does not
spread from one person to another. In
60-80 percent of cases, a rash resembling a bull’s eye or solid patch, about
two inches in diameter, appears and
expands around or near the site of the
bite. Other symptoms appear within 3
to 30 days after a tick bite.
Lyme Disease is preventable. In
tick-infested areas, your best protection is to avoid contact with soil, leaf
litter and vegetation. However, if you
garden, hike, camp, hunt, work, or
otherwise spend time in the outdoors,
you can still protect yourself:
• Wear light-colored clothing with a
tight weave to spot ticks easily.
• Wear enclosed shoes, long pants
and a long-sleeved shirt. Tuck pant
legs into socks or boots and shirt into
pants.
• Check clothes and any exposed
skin frequently for ticks while outdoors and check again once indoors.
Ticks gravitate toward the warmest areas of the body.
• Consider using insect repellent.
Follow label directions.
• Stay on cleared, well-traveled
trails. Avoid contacting vegetation.
• Avoid sitting directly on the
ground or on stone walls.
• Keep long hair tied back, especially when gardening.
If you do find a tick on yourself or
a child, use tweezers, grasp the tick as
close to the skin as possible. Gently
pull the tick in a steady, upward motion. Wash the area with a disinfectant. When trying to remove the tick,
do not touch the tick with your bare
hands, do not squeeze the body of the
tick as this may increase your risk of
infection. Also, do not put alcohol,
nail polish remover or Vaseline on the
tick or a hot match. These methods
can increase the rate of Lyme Disease
transmission.
