Solow Shade Shelter - Pg. 2 Citizen Preparedness Training - Pg. 2 Emerald Ash Borer Update - Pg. 3 Reflections, September 26, 2014 Page 1 From The Executive Director Written by Lynn Tanner, CMCA From its inception, Radisson has relied greatly on its resident volunteer base. There has been a vast array of residents that have provided countless hours on committees, served on the board of directors or participated in special projects. With the number of volunteers over the years, it can be a difficult task to name one individual as a standout volunteer, deserving of special recognition more than another.... until now. Many of you know Stan Solow, and have likely had the pleasure of working alongside Stan on a committee, the RCA Board or a special project. It would be difficult to try to accurately list all of the ways that Stan has been involved in the community, but please allow me to try. Over the years, Stan has been a committee member and/or chairperson of the following committees: Communications, Finance, Operations, Long Range Stanley A. Solow Shade Shelter Planning (now Planning & Amenities), Nominating Committee and more. He has served the community as a Board Director for several terms, also serving as an Officer of the Board during those terms. Stan has brought his vast expertise of engineering, aviation and boating to several special Radisson projects. However, an area that Stan devoted a great deal of time and effort to have been the continual improvements made to the River Park and Boat Launch facility over the years. During the past several years, he has spearheaded several phases of development, which now include a pavilion, boat launch, floating dock and an enlarged parking lot. Stan’s perseverance and dedication helped to make the improvements at this community amenity become a reality. In June of this year, Stan completed his second, two-year term as a Radisson Board Director. With Stan’s terms completed, then Board President John Vinquist spearheaded a Resolution honoring Mr. Solow for his dedication to the community, quoting in part: WHEREAS Stanley A. Solow has served the Radisson Community with perseverance, inspiration and uncompromising dedication to the residents, committee members, staff and Board of Directors, and WHEREAS Stanley A. Solow was the driving force behind the creation and continual improvements to the Radisson River Park, and WHEREAS the Board of Directors, on behalf of itself and all Members of the Association, hereby expresses its gratitude and appreciation to Stanley A. Solow for his invaluable services extended to the Association, be it now RESOLVED the Approval to Dedicate and Name the Radisson River Park Shade Shelter the Stanley A. Solow Shade Shelter. The Board of Directors unanimously approved Resolution #924, thereby naming the shade shelter located at the Radisson River Park, as the Stanley A. Solow Shade Shelter. On behalf of the RCA Board, staff, committee members and residents; Thank You Stan for all that you have contributed to our community! CITIZEN PREPAREDNESS TRAINING PROGRAM In the September 12 issue of the Reflections, we provided information related to National Emergency Awareness Month, as declared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). To continue with the importance of this topic, I am very excited to inform you that we have been able to secure a special two-hour training program offered by New York State. Training will be led by the New York National Guard, working with experts from the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services’ Office of Emergency Management and Office of Fire Prevention and Control. The Citizen Preparedness Corps give residents the tools and resources to prepare for any type of disaster, respond accordingly and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. The training course will provide an introduction to responding to a natural or man-made disaster. Participants will be advised on how to properly prepare for any disaster, including developing a family emergency plan and stocking up on emergency supplies. A key component of this training is distribution of free NYS Disaster Preparedness Kits to all participants (one per family) containing key items to assist individuals in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. The state training and kits will help New Yorkers be the most-trained and bestprepared citizens in the country. Citizen Preparedness Training Program: Monday, November 3, 2014 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm Aspen House Community Center 8550 North Entry Road The program is free and open to the public, but all participants MUST register in advance at http://www.prepare.ny.gov/trainingevents. When the link is activated for our event, we will send out an email to the Community Info and Event Notices eMail Bulletin groups. Please be sure you are subscribed to at least one of these so you don’t miss this event. Look for details in the next Reflections as well. “With severe weather events becoming more frequent and more extreme, it is more important than ever that New Yorkers are prepared for disasters and know what to do in an emergency.” - Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, 2014 State of the State Address Page 2 Reflections, September 26, 2014 EMERALD ASH BORER The Emerald Ash Borer continues to be a threat to the numerous ash trees in the community. Although there hasn’t been a definitive sighting of the borer in the community, the experts believe that the borer has already infested many trees here. It is still imperative that residents with ash trees on their property make a plan of action. To assist you with this process we have information on Page 3, with information on additional resources. To responsibly address public safety and fiscal planning, the Radisson Community Association(RCA) must prepare for and manage the potential damage to its ash trees on its Common Property, parks, and on privately owned property within the Radisson Community. The RCA Board of Directors has approved an Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan, which is posted on our website. You can find this plan under the Architectural Standards tab, on the Tree Resources page. It is the intent of this plan to mitigate the disruption to our community’s forested areas from the impending infestation of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Taking a proactive approach to the oncoming invasion will allow the Association to address common property and private property needs in an efficient and effective manner. The Association will endeavor to distribute the costs of tree removal and tree replacement over a manageable time period in order to lessen the social and economic impact upon our community. The RCA Board of Directors, and its Executive Director, is responsible for the implementation of this plan. A contracted Forester will be responsible for the management and coordination of the effort. This EAB Management Plan will continue to be updated as more information becomes available. EAB Management for Radisson Homeowners What does a homeowner need to do prepare for the arrival of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB)? The first thing is don’t panic! The infestations in New York State are still relatively small, now less than 1% of our forests. While EAB has continued to spread in Onondaga County since first confirmed in 2013, you do need to come up with a plan before you start to run out of options. Here are some things to consider: your property lines since we are not land surveyors. The only time the RCA will review a property line is if a homeowner and the RCA Common Property share a property line. In that situation, the RCA will come out and help you determine where the property line is. fallen over. • It may be difficult to find a reputable tree removal company once your ash has died from EAB.

The only effective treatment is the application of systemic insecticides on a tree by tree basis. However, not all are equally effective. Research the different insecticides registered for use in New York State and when application is warranted. For information on insecticide control options, go to http://nyis.info/pdf/ EAB%20Chemical%20Treatment%20 Summary.pdf Beware of guarantees to save your trees. It’s easy to save a tree if there are no infestations in your vicinity. Even with an infestation, it will often take more than three years for a tree to die. So beware of short term guarantees to save your tree. Work with reputable arborists who know about the Emerald Ash Borer and the longterm commitment needed to save a tree. Check the International Society of Arboriculture for professional arborists near you, http://www.isaarbor.com. Learn why and how to hire an arborist atTreesAreGood.org EAB resource page for Radisson homeowners We are currently working on putting together an EAB resource page for Radisson homeowners. As information changes or if there are new updates of confirmed EAB locations in Onondaga County, we will be sharing this information with you on our website. Political Signs Many residents are asking if they can express who they endorse this election season by displaying an endorsement sign in their yard. Unfortunately, the Radisson Declaration of Protective Covenants does not allow signs to be displayed on properties within Radisson. However, the ASC will allow homeowners to display one sign in a window of your home. We just ask that you remove the sign immediately after the election.

The Northwest Family YMCA is set to open by late spring. “Every day, people tell me, ‘I just can’t wait for it to open,’” said Cindy Dowd Greene, chair of the Greater Baldwinsville YMCA Board of Managers. “We can’t wait, either, and we wanted to do something about that.” That’s why the entire community is invited to the site of the new YMCA from 1-4 p.m. October 4 for a Preview Party.

Reflections, September 26, 2014 Page 5 Nursery School News It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!! The hallways and classrooms at Radisson Nursery School are buzzing with back to school activity. The children arrived with brand new backpacks and huge smiles, and were ready to be introduced to a love of learning. Our 2 year olds are reading Pete the Cat, and are already memorizing the words to the story. They have painted and colored, and really love Mrs. Tanguay’s soft, squishy, home made play dough. Mrs. Cicero’s 3 year olds are already sitting at circle time for stories and finger plays about apples and apple trees. They played outdoors on the playground for the very first time and were squealing with delight! Mrs. Simiensyk’s 4 year olds have done a volcano experiment, have taken a nature walk and have created full body portraits. The weather has been delightful and the children were thrilled to learn that Mrs. Simiensyk rides her bike to school on sunny days. Mrs. Cali had the children apple picking during her large motor activity, and had them running through her obstacle course. We all agree that we have some very coordinated 4 year olds! Mrs. Simiensyk has the undivided attention of her 4 year olds when she makes a volcano at circle time.

The Radisson Storage Yard was created to accommodate residents who may need a location to store their own vehicles, trailers, RV’s and boats, since our by-laws do not allow these items to be kept on your personal property. For a very reasonable annual fee, Radisson residents can rent a space in this outdoor facility. The Storage Yards are conveniently located at the very end of North Entry Road (closest to the golf course), across from the RCA Maintenance building, and renters with a key may enter the area as needed 24 hours a day/seven days a week. The yards are accessible year round, though during the winter just a central path is plowed, renters are responsible for shoveling to get to their vehicle as needed. The storage area is fenced and locked at all times. Renters are reminded to help ensure this is the case. Once you reach the left turn at the end of North Entry, you will find two separate fenced areas – referred to as Yard A (old yard) and Yard N (new yard). The first fenced area on the right is Yard N; it has well defined lots with gravel substrate. Motorhomes must use this yard and there are certain lots reserved for other items over 30 feet in length. Continuing past this and also on the right, you will see Yard A. It is irregularly shaped with a sod surface. This yard has two separate entry gates for easy access. Lots are assigned based on the lot size that will best accommodate the length of the vehicle. Annual rental prices range from $120-$285 for the term beginning November 1st, 2014 through October 31st, 2015. If you are interested in renting a lot, please review the complete contract, rules and regulations on our website. It’s important to note that the storage of debris, auto parts, tires, household goods, equipment, construction materials, and hazardous materials is prohibited and will incur a storage yard violation notice. The purpose is to provide members a location to store viable vehicles, campers and trailers. Contracts can be printed from our website or picked up in the RCA office. Lots are rented on first-come, first-serve basis, contact the office for current availability. Plan ahead for spring; contracts are not pro-rated based on partial usage. Cirque d’Vin Wine Club At the September tasting there were 73 attendees to sample wines from Zugibe Vineyards on Seneca Lake. Favorite wines from the evening were Dr. Frank’s Semi Dry Riesling, Zugibe Dry Riesling and Zugibe Estate White.
