Calling all Chess PlayersSeptember weather reminds us of chess. We have an idyllic setting under the Trumpet

Vine for a game of chess. The BHFLBC Angels have made a table, chess set and clockavailable to the community. So come on down and play a game or two during thebeautiful fall weather.

The Morals of ChessBenjamin Franklin

The Game of Chess is not merely an idle amusement; several very valuable qualitiesof the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired and strengthened by it,so as to become habits ready on all occasions; for life is a kind of Chess, in which wehave often points to gain, and competitors or adversaries to contend with, and in whichthere is a vast variety of good and ill events, that are, in some degree, the effect ofprudence, or the want of it. By playing at Chess then, we may learn: 1st, Foresight, whichlooks a little into futurity, and considers the consequences that may attend an action ...2nd, Circumspection, which surveys the whole Chess-board, or scene of action: - therelation of the several Pieces, and their situations; ... 3rd, Caution, not to make our movestoo hastily.

Membership and AngelsA big thank-you goes out to all our volunteers and angels who have supported us

again this season. We continue to need your skill, volunteer time and funds. If you arenot already a member or an angel, please fill out the form below. We love our Angels!!!!And they keep our lawn bowling club rolling.

Stewart at Foxhowe: What if

Madoff Spoke More Slowly?Pulitzer Prize-winning author James Stewart didn’t pull any punches in a speech at

Foxhowe’s well-attended fall event about his latest book, “Tangled Webs: How FalseStatements are Undermining America From Martha Stewart to Bernie Madoff.”

“I’m going to say something here incredibly provocative,” Stewart declared a fewminutes into his remarks about the pervasiveness of lying in American culture. “I’m sureyou read recently about the Dominique Strauss-Kahn case. Here’s an example ofsomeone who may have behaved very, very badly, but did not commit a crime.”

Stewart then went on to question whether the hotel maid who made accusationsagainst Strauss-Kahn should have been prosecuted herself for making misleadingstatements. “I’m sorry, I don’tcare who it is, if you go before thegrand jury and lie in this countrythat is a felony,” he said.

The audience at the September17 event at Skytop listenedattentively as Stewart offeredinsights and juicy tidbits into fourprominent criminal cases linkedby the lies told by those once heldin high esteem by Americansociety — Bernie Madoff, MarthaStewart, Scooter Libby and BarryBonds. Stewart said he hadinterviewed 40 prosecutors andlaw enforcement officials and hadcome away with the disturbingconclusion that lying had reachedepidemic proportions. “Every oneof them, based on their personalexperience, said it’s worse than it’s ever been in their lifetimes,” Stewart recounted.

“Our entire legal and judicial system rests on a rather simple honor code, which is,people will put their hands up and swear to tell the truth and then telling nothing but thetruth.” That certainly didn’t happen in the cases Stewart scrutinized. He reported howMartha Stewart tried to write off a Mexican vacation as a business trip by claiming shehad met with financier Steve Schwarzman. In actuality, Stewart said, Stewart had simplybumped into Schwarzman in the lobby of her hotel.

Stewart described ImClone CEO Sam Waksal— who tipped off Stewart to dump herImClone stock right before it dropped — as “one of the most reprehensible, unethicalcharacters I have ever met in my life.”

In another fascinating tidbit, Stewart disclosed that a key piece of evidence againstBernie Madoff might never have materialized if he spoke more slowly. With the SEC on

his trail, Stewart reported,Madoff called one of thefirms funneling him funds tooffer advice how to evadeinvestigators. “He talked sofast, they had a rule wheneverhe called the secretary toautomatically turn the taperecorder on,” said Stewart.That tape subsequentlylanded in the hands ofprosecutors. Stewart concluded bycalling for more rigorousprosecution of perjury. “It’sprobably the most un-prosecuted crime in thecountry. As long as thatperception spreads there’ll bemore of it,” he said.

Petanque NewsAfter the Prix de la Bastille held on July 14th, we

continued the suite of French denomination competitionswith the “Prix a l’Improviste” and the “Prix desLaboureurs,” enabling the participants to practice theirFrench as well as improving their petanque skills.

“Prix a l’Improviste” Wednesday, August 17, 2011, after arainy week causing a few games to be canceled, and some restless players, our new signwas posted on golfdrive and success-fully brought intwelve participantsand a few specta-tors. All theingredients com-bined to justify toorganize a tourna-ment “al’improviste”meaning unsched-uled. This beingsaid, the competi-tion was fierce andJoe Strode with hisdaughter Maggieand MelanieSoilleux prevailedbeating CR Winfrey, Kaitlin and Stephan Soilleux in the winners’ final game.

“Prix des Laboureurs” On Thursday, September 1st, after another petanque day wascancelled due to hurricane “Irene” and still no electricity for some of us, a large crowdgathered for our last tournament of the season the “Prix des Laboureurs” meaning as the

farmers plow the groundfor the next year, so didthe Buck Hill PetanqueGroup. About 18 playersparticipated in an avidcompetition won byStephan Soilleux,Jennifer Mittereder andKim Kenny playingagainst David Mittereder,Sue Roberts and LeslieSopko in the finale. The junior categorywas won by ParkerHopkins and Alec Sopkodefeating Jack Mitchelland Bern Hopkins.

One more game was scheduled on the calendar, but as it became a bad habit thisAugust and early September, the game had to be cancelled due to inclement weather.

Winners of past events can always refer to the website www.buckhillpetanque.com byclicking on the distinctions tab to claim their bragging rights with their friends, while therest of us can click on the boutique tab and look the best around the community.

With conclusion of the season, we wanted to thank the Buck Hill Falls CompanyBoard of Directors, Mike O’Shea and the Lot and Cottage Owners Association for theirsupport this year. We also would be remiss if we did not thank all the players andsupporters for making Petanque the great success that it was this year with close to 70participants throughout the summer.

We are looking for an even better season next year hopefully with a new terrain areaallowing more players and to include petanque as part of the camp club activities.

Community Services CommitteeBy Frank J. Dracos, MD, Chairman

The autumn season is here and the leaves from the plush landscape will display theirbeautiful colors. Our Buck Hill good times continue!

Our neighbors in Barrett Township are still looking for employment, local construc-tion is minimal and wages paid today are lower than three years ago. This is all the morereason, since the Buck Hill community is blessed, that charity to the needy has a highpriority. Seventy community members have given in the past few years, communitymembers are approximately 280.

Evaluating comparable times (2009 and 2010) as of September 22nd our charity hasonly received $28,555. For those who have not contributed, please help. Kindly sendyour contribution to Buck Hill Community Services Committee, P. O. Box 426, BuckHill Falls PA 18323. Again, your entire contribution is tax deductible.

Let us help our not-as-fortunate neighbors since we are fortunate.God Bless you and God Bless America!

Cottage InspectionsThe Winter House Inspection Service offers a choice of three programs including a 7-

Day Interior Inspection, a 5-Day Interior Inspection, and a Weekly Exterior Inspection.With the Interior Inspection programs our inspectors check the water fixtures, adjust heatsettings as necessary, check fuel levels, electricity and general security of the windows,doors and exterior of the home. They communicate potential problems to the homeownerand upon the owner’s permission will coordinate problem resolution with an appropriatecontractor.

An additional service included in the interior house inspections is thermostat adjust-ment. Notify us in advance and the House Inspector will adjust your thermostat tocomfortably “warm-up” your home for your arrival. Calls must be received by 4:30 pm,THE DAY PRIOR TO YOUR EXPECTED ARRIVAL. Thermostat adjustment is alsoavailable to cottagers who are not enrolled in the house inspection program at a peradjustment cost. Contact the office at least one day prior to your expected arrival forthermostat service.

The cottages enrolled in the Weekly Exterior Inspection program are checked once aweek from the exterior of the home. Inspectors check the exterior security of the homeincluding the windows and doors and the overall exterior condition of the building.Inspection Service begins November 7, 2011 and runs through April 2, 2012.

Seasonal Weekly7-Day Interior Inspection $865 $705-Day Interior Inspection $685 $55Weekly Exterior Inspection $325 N/A

Cottages in the winter house inspection service are automatically enrolled in thedriveway snowplowing and path shoveling program. This will allow the inspector tosafely access your cottage. It will also demonstrate an in-use appearance and provideeasy access to your cottage in an emergency and/or for contractual services. The fee forsnow removal is based on the combined square footage of driveway and path areas to beplowed/shoveled. This cost is in addition to the cost of house inspection services.

Cottage Path ShovelingA separate fee will be charged to those residents who desire to have the paths to their

cottage shoveled. The fee will also be based on the total square footage of your path-ways. A maximum of two paths will be shoveled at your cottage. One path will be fromthe driveway to the cottage and the other from the driveway to your trash cans. Due tolimited numbers and age of Buck Hill Falls Company staff, this service has been con-tracted to Destination Landscaping. As in previous years, the pathways will be shoveledin conjunction with the driveway plowing. The priority of path shoveling will also be thesame as driveway plowing with full-time year-round residents first. Next will be thoseresidents enrolled in path shoveling and are known to be home by contacting the Com-pany office. Next will be those residents enrolled in the program whose cottage isunoccupied and finally those NOT enrolled in the program requesting service.

Under 150 sq. ft. $25 per cottage per shoveling151 to 225 sq. ft. $30 per cottage per shoveling226 to 300 sq. ft. $45 per cottage per shovelingOver 300 sq. ft. $60 per cottage per shoveling

Driveway Snow RemovalSnow plowing of driveways will once again be offered by the Buck Hill Falls

Company. This program is especially helpful to full-time year-round residents of BuckHill and those who plan to come up during the winter months. In addition to the ease ofaccess to your home, the plowing provides emergency vehicle access if necessary andadded security by providing a lived-in appearance.

Enrollment in the program will provide driveway snowplowing whenever there is anapproximate three-inch or more snowfall; however, there may be situations whensnowplowing will be done when there is less than a three-inch accumulation (allsnowplowing will be at the discretion of the Buck Hill Falls Company). Snow removalrates apply to the Original Community and Golf Cottage Community.

The fee charged will be based on the combined area of the driveway and parking area.This is an equitable approach for all who elect this option. The rate will range from *$35per cottage/per plowing to *$65 per cottage/per plowing based on the square footage asreflected on the enclosed Winter Service enrollment form. Please note that more than oneplowing may be required for the same storm for which there are additional charges. TheCompany will determine when more than one plowing is required.

*Per plowing charge is based on snowfalls totaling 6 inches or less (there may betimes when driveways may be plowed more than one time for a 6-inch snowfall, forwhich there will be additional charges). Snowfalls totaling between 7 and 11 inches add$10 per plowing and snowfalls of 12 inches or more add $20 per plowing.

Priority of snow removal will occur in the following manner:1. Those enrolled in the program who are full-time year-round Buck Hill residents.2. Those enrolled in the program and are known to be at Buck Hill at the time of

the storm by contacting the company office or those that call ahead to state theywill be arriving the same day as the storm.

3. Those enrolled in the program whose homes are unoccupied.4. Those NOT enrolled in the program requesting service.

For those who do not enroll in the Snow Removal Program and desire the service onan occasional basis, this rate schedule WILL NOT apply and removal costs will bedetermined by the Company based on several factors to include depth of accumulation,manpower involved to remove packed snow, ice, and equipment used. The cost will bedetermined and charged after removal is completed. A minimum of 24 hours advancenotice is required for this service. Snow removal, for those who elect to use this serviceon an occasional basis, will be completed after all driveways and paths of those enrolledin the full Snow Removal Program have been completed.
