The second collection will begin after the first collection has been complete in all three districts. To find which district your street is in visit www.Radnor.com

Winter Reminders It's That Time Againâ€Ś

Tenants and owners of properties abutting public streets are required to clear a pathway in the sidewalk. A path at least 30 inches wide must be cleared within 48 hours after it stops snowing/sleeting. Tenants/owners also are required to cover the sidewalk with ashes, sawdust or similar materials in the event of ice or sleet. Placing snow in the gutter or roadway is prohibited.

Please keep in mind that it is almost impossible to keep snow from being deposited at driveways during plowing. Please do not shovel or blow snow from driveways into the street. If you have a fire hydrant on your property, please clear the snow away from the area around it (leaving the markers intact).

From the Fire Marshal and Fire Chief: HELP US, HELP YOU! "Adopt-A-Hydrant" for 2014 The snow is on the ground which means winter is officially upon us. The arrival of cold weather means that firefighters will be in a constant battle with slippery roads, hidden hydrants, and frozen hose lines. Do your part to help keep your neighborhood safe by clearing hydrants of snow. A clear path on all four sides makes hydrants easier to locate and operate in an emergency.

As always, the cooperation of residents and businesses is appreciated by the Township to help us keep our streets and sidewalks safe during inclement weather. Please remember:

Also, in snowy weather, please utilize off-street parking whenever possible. This allows better access for emergency vehicles and also allows the Department of Public Works to clear the roads more efficiently. And never shovel snow into the street!

3 ft

As long as it's snowing, the first priority is keeping main roads open and passable. Under normal circumstances, cul-de-sacs and dead end streets are typically plowed last because they carry the lowest volume of traffic. State highways and county roads are cleared by state and county snow removal crews.

Upcoming Events: Excerpts from A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and read by Bennett Hill

off to Boot Camp!

Sunday, December 28, 2014, 7:00 pm, Finley House, 113 West Beech Tree Lane, Wayne This is a traditional RHS event. Every other year, Bennett, a retired teacher and former member of the RHS Board, reads an abridged version of this classic Christmas tale by the fire in the front parlor. Refreshments, including eggnog, will be served at the interval. James B. Garrison's Stone Houses: Traditional Homes of R. Brognard Okie Tuesday, February 3, 2015, 7:30 pm, Winsor Room, Radnor Memorial Library (Snow Date is February 10) James B. Garrison, architect, and author of the recently published Stone Houses: Traditional Homes of R. Brognard Okie, will talk about Okie's designs and his impact on American residential architecture. He is known for sensitive restorations of historic buildings in the Colonial Revival style. Built from 1904 to 1943, these dwellings exemplified our basic dream of living in a place of stability and comfort. Stone Houses showcases Okie's houses in pastoral settings, set along hillsides and beside streams, with deep fireplaces, thick beamed ceilings, and wide plank floors. Beautiful color photographs in Stone Houses are by Geoffrey Gross. James Garrison, a Strafford resident for 20 years, cofounded the Tredyffrin Historic Preservation Trust and has served as President and Chairman Emeritus for the Board of Trustees of The Old Eagle School, where Okie also served as trustee. He now lives in a 200 year stone house near Phoenixville. Books will be available for signing and purchase. This event is cosponsored by RHS and the Library. Refreshments will be served.

Wayne men pose at the fire house before leaving for boot camp during World War II. A significant number of Radnor residents participated in the war effort, not only as active military personnel but also on the home front. The names of those who lost their lives in the war were listed on the Radnor Township war memorial, which was erected in 1922 to recognize those who died during the previous World War.

This one, Villa Florenza, was located between Cambria Court and Chamounix Road. It was originally home to Philadelphia dentist George L.S. Jameson. Villa Florenza was doomed by a fire in the 1970s, and apartments now occupy its property.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

Out with a bang - Wahoo! As the season comes to an end and the asters and goldenrods are all but finished, many gardeners begin dreaming of the flowering delights that await them next spring. There are, however, many things to look forward to in the fall that are equally, if not more delightful than any flower in the garden. The obvious is the foliar collage of reds, yellows, and oranges that light up the forest. If spring and summer are all about flowers, truly, fall is all about trees. In addition, there are many plants that provide splashes of color with a remarkable display of fruits and berries. Winterberry Holly (red), American Beautyberry (lavender), and Snowberry (white) are a few of many

examples, but for the rest of this article, the focus will be on a plant that most people are not familiar with, but one that combines fall color with fall fruits…WAHOO! The Eastern Wahoo is a multi-stemmed shrub that can grow to be fifteen feet tall. The plant's maroon spring flowers are attractive, but too small to have much landscape impact. Instead, the Wahoo waits for fall to take its place in the limelight. By late summer, the flowers are replaced by striking, fourchambered, pinkish fruits that dangle down on short stalks. At first, these fruits are small, but they grow and turn dark pink as the season goes on. At the same time, the foliage changes in waves and is variable depending on the amount of sunlight the plant receives. Usually, the outer leaves will turn

bright red while others on the plant will be various shades of pink or even remain light green for a while. The combination of fall color and fall fruits makes for a dramatic late-season display. If you're interested in seeing a very nice specimen Wahoo or even purchasing one from our Plant Shop, please come visit us at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens in Devon, PA this fall (www.jenkinsarboretum.org). Don't forget your camera!

Door Etiquette for Dogs associated various words with specific behaviors, they are able to associate the sound of the door with a certain behavior. 610-337-7698 200 King Manor Drive King of Prussia, PA 19406

Autumn is almost upon us! Football parties, Halloween and holidays are quickly approaching and if your dog has any habits that may be problematic or bothersome, now is the time to work on them! With all of the fun fall events, it is important to keep your furry family member in mind for their comfort and safety. Many dogs have learned to overreact to the sound of a doorbell or door knock, leading to uncomfortable door greetings and potential escapes. This behavior can be problematic if you plan to have friends and family visit for a party or meal. It adds an extra layer of stress to what should be an enjoyable evening. Rude door behavior, such as barking or lunging at the door when people visit, is extremely common and a highly reinforced behavior. From the dog's point of view, every time a delivery man or mailman approaches your door, they are a possible intruder and require immediate attention. Your dog does not realize that those individuals were scheduled to leave regardless of your dog's reaction. In their mind, they have just saved you from a potential threat because the person does leave while your pet is throwing a fit or behaving poorly. Thus the behavior is reinforced. While you probably can't ask every person coming to your home to act as a training tool (people have places to go and things to do after all), you can prepare your dog to behavior more appropriately when they hear the doorbell or knocker. You have probably already taught your dog a variety of verbal cues without you even realizing that you have. Remember that your dog does not naturally speak English, but they have learned by association that "sit" means putting their bottom on the floor. They have also learned associations that you have not explicitly taught them, such as the doorbell brings potential intruders to protect you from or friends to jump on and greet. It is your job to use the doorbell as a cue for a different behavior. Just as your dog has 26

going into their crate. Do this routine a few times a day until your dog is sprinting to their crate at the sound of the bell. Now you can start to wean out the treat that is waiting in the crate and only reward your dog after they have entered the crate. The next time an unplanned door bell ring occurs, your dog will hopefully run to their crate. You should follow and reward your dog still and even potentially close the door or give a "stay" cue, allowing you to answer the door as needed without a dog overreacting at your entranceway. You have now changed the meaning of the doorbell for your dog and ended the problematic behavior of poor door etiquette. You can greet your guests and continue on with your plans without worrying about an overprotective dog, escaping dog, etc.

There are plenty of options for what your dog could do when they hear someone at the door. One option is to send your dog to their crate or their bed at the sound of a doorbell (you can substitute a knock if that fits your home better). The easiest way to begin training would be with two people: one to ring the bell and the other to train the dog. Start by having one person outside by the door and one person ready with treats or another high value reward (cheese, pieces of hot dog are great rewards!). Person A will ring the bell followed immediately by Person B running over to the predetermined location, such as a crate, and toss in a tasty treat. Person B should not say anything, as you want your dog to associate the bell with a location based on the reward -- not a word with the location. Your dog will probably still bark and get worked up by the door, but unlike past experiences, no one is going to come in or respond. After a few moments your dog will probably get mildly confused or bored and come see what Person B is doing. That's when they will find their tasty reward. Person B can give them a few more rewards for hanging out in their crate then release them. Repeat this game of Person A ringing the bell and Person B rewarding the dog for

If you do not have a helper to ring the bell for you, consider scheduling a regular training party in the guise of football or movie night. You can invite a few friends over for a football game or movie (make sure it is airing on TV so that you have regular commercial breaks) and use them to help you train your dog. Of course, you can pay them in the form of food and drinks. Football games and movies that are airing on TV have fairly regular commercial breaks that you can use as training trials. Simply ask all of your friends to walk outside at the start of a commercial break and have them each ring the bell for you while you train following the directions above. You can act as Person B and have your friends ring the bell while you reward your dog at the appropriate location. As an added bonus, your friends can walk over and greet or feed your dog, as well. This allows extra rewarding for your dog and it's away from the door! Fall is a great time to begin working with your dog on indoor etiquette. Summer warmth is fading and many social activities begin to move inside, so it is important to ensure that your dog is as happy to have visitors as you are! Happy Training!

Senior Lifestyles

Laughter is the Best Medicine

parent, a spouse or even a child, these issues change our lives dramatically. Needless to say, laughter was not high on my sisters' and my priority list.

Laughter is the best medicine. We've all heard the saying, but I've found there is a lot of truth to that simple sentence. In 2004, when my mother had her first stroke and my father clearly exhibited signs of diminishing mental capacity, my sisters and I were in shock. How could all these changes be happening so rapidly? Dad was calling my husband every night asking the same questions about his computer. Mom, who battled severe rheumatoid arthritis with admirable will, was having difficulty managing tasks that used to be routine for her. Our wonderful parents' active retirement in Florida was severely impeded with on-going health issues. Situations like this come up for families all too regularly. Whether it is a

Fortunately, a good friend talked to me about going through a similar situation with her mother. Her mother taught her a valuable lesson in the course of her illness laugh as often as possible. When things happen, even difficult and trying situations, try to find the humor in it. My sisters, my parents and I did just that. We were not disrespectful, and we certainly did not laugh when serious changes occurred, but we did find humor and were all able to laugh at some of the situations that happened over the next five years. Keeping our laughter to situations, not the person, kept us sane through the difficult times. "Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make certain that your daily mood and emotional state support good health." Paul E. McGhee, Ph.D. In an article on HelpGuide.org titled "Laughter is the Best Medicine," the link

between laughter and mental health are described as follows: Laughter dissolves distressing emotions. Laughter helps you relax and recharge. Humor shifts perspective, allowing you to see situations in a more realistic, less threatening light. As a popular quote says: "You don't stop laughing because you're old. You grow old because you stop laughing." Find something to laugh about today and share it with a friend or family member! A wonderful friend of Surrey's sends me jokes, funny sayings or amusing pictures once a week. You can often hear laughing in the Surrey hallways as staff read the jokes that I have shared with them or posted outside my office. It is a wonderful sound and just one of many wonderful things that friends of Surrey bring to our lives.
