Some homeowners in the Garden Area have been experiencing an issue with their water lines inside their homes, which may be due to abnormally high water pressure, in the 90 psi range; normally the pressure should be in the 60 - 75 psi +/- range. This has led to repairs of water lines and water heaters for a few homeowners and the installation of a PRV (pressure reducing valve) between the water meter and the house. The installation of the new water tower on Anderson Mill Road, may have contributed to increasing the water pressure in the community.

If you are experiencing this type of problem, you should have a plumber check it out, in order to, hopefully, prevent a potentially damaging situation by water damage inside your home. It is not known, at this time if any other areas of the community are also experiencing this type of problem.

This notice is make everyone aware of the situation, so you can be on lookout for early sings of leaks in your home. If you have questions regarding the water pressure in the community, you should contact the City of Cedar Park and express your concerns of this situation.

TWIN CREEKS COMMUNITY COMMITTEES

In order for the Twin Creeks Home Owners’ Association to provide the best service to our community, several committees have been established to allow the participation of residents to help build the best neighborhood possible. Listed below are the five core committees necessary to achieve this goal.

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH COMMITTEE The Neighborhood Watch Committee works with the local

law enforcement office to establish and maintain a neighborhood watch group to help keep the community safe and secure. This committee depends upon neighbors to become involved by looking out for one another and by knowing what course of action to take if there should be a problem. Volunteers from every neighborhood within our community are needed. Contact Terra Tisdale at [email protected] or Anne Wilson at [email protected] to volunteer.

COMMUNICATION COMMITTEE The Communication Committee helps organize articles for

the newsletter and other neighborhood communications, and assists in the establishment of a neighborhood website, news group and email distribution list.

MAINTENANCE COMMITTEE The Maintenance Committee monitors the general condition

of the neighborhood and helps identify areas in need of repair or improvement, such as the irrigation system, streetlights, or other common property.

SOCIAL & RECREATION COMMITTEE The Social & Recreation Committee helps plan neighborhood

events, such as biannual garage sales, holiday parties, and National Night Out, as well as combined events with Twin Creeks Country Club.

YARD OF THE MONTH COMMITTEE The Yard of the Month Committee judges our yards and

then selects a different yard each month that exemplifies the orderly and well-maintained look we expect to find in our neighborhood.

Participation in our Home Owners’ Association is necessary for Twin Creeks to maintain its unique qualities as a country club community and to ensure a safe, beautifully maintained residential neighborhood for our families.

To volunteer for any of the Twin Creeks committees, please contact Kathy Taylor, Property Manager at Goodwin Management, at 512-852-7998 or [email protected].

THIS MESSAGE IS ESPECIALLY FOR YOUAND YOUR FAMILY …

TWIN CREEKSNEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

(TCNW)You probably have been visited by your street’s Block Captain

who has told you about Neighborhood Watch and requested your contact information. If so, thank you for your participation and for helping to make TCNW a success. If not, please contact Terra Tisdale, Chairman of TCNW, at [email protected]. It may be that your particular street does not have a volunteer to serve as Block Captain … you may want to suggest a neighbor to accept this responsibility, or volunteer yourself.

Congratulations to The Overlook/Cove for being the first neighborhood with a Block Captain for every street! Our goal is 100% participation in every neighborhood.

Listed below are neighborhoods/streets that do not have Block Captains:

• The Park - Barsham, Binden, Durlston, Falmer, Giacomo Cove• The Canyon - Ebbsfleet, Kittiwake, Copford, Spiderwort• The Bluffs – Dartford Bend, Dervingham Dr, Guara Dr, Pipit Ct• The Enclave – Culver Cliff, Danciger, Kopperl, Mingus, Zennor• The Gardens – Ben Doran, Dunbar Ct• The Reserve – Crystal Hill, Granite Basin, Feathergrass, Millstream, Grand Oaks Loop (2700-2726 and 2742-2755)

Your part is simple … “Report Every Crime, Every Time” … then let your Block Captain know of the suspicious activity. He/she, in turn, will contact your neighbors about the situation. (Emergency, non-emergency, and your Block Captain’s contact information are included on the flier left with you by your Block Captain.)

Neighborhood Watch signs will be installed soon at strategic places, i.e., close to the three entrances into Twin Creeks and at each neighborhood entrance. Placement of the signs will be based upon visibility, safety and aesthetics.

Safety Tip of the Month – Keep your car keys next to your bed at night. If you hear a suspicious noise or think there may be an intruder in your house, press the alarm to alert your neighbors and possibly frighten away the intruder.

Future events of TCNW may include a Child Identification Program and participation in National Night Out.

Fit & Fun: Health Tips for You &Your ChildrenBy: Concentra Urgent Care

Getting fit and staying fit can be a fun process. That’s true for individuals, and it’s especially true for families. Fitness is an important topic, especially when your daily routine involves a lot of sitting, whether at work, at school, or at home in front of a computer or TV screen. The habits that we learn as children are often the habits we carry into adulthood. As parents, we can help our children build healthy habits and find new, fun ways to motivate ourselves and our children to get active.

BELOW ARE SOME IDEAS FOR

GETTING OFF THE COUCH & HAVING

SOME FUN WHILE GETTING FIT:

• Take an active vacation: It’s tempting every day to think of your vacation as a time to sit and relax. But isn’t that what your body does everyday? Instead, you can

plan a trip that includes hiking, biking, skiing, and other activities that the whole family can do together.

• Visit a local park: It doesn’t have to take a whole day, but you could spend a few hours playing at a park. Take a ball (football or soccer), a Frisbee, or a hacky sack, and play. You can invite some friends to join you, too. And remember: It’s not just about the kids moving around – it’s your time, too!

• Holdablockparty: Call your neighbors, and block off the closest cul-de-sac for a get together that includes fun and active games. From freeze tag and relay races to hide-and-seek and kickball, there are hundreds of activities to choose from that are fun for everyone.

• Go for ahike: Find a local area where

you and your family can go and hike for a few miles. Spend time outdoors, and enjoy what nature has to offer while you all get fit!For more ideas about fun activities, visit

the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance’s Web site at: www.aahperd.com.

THE GOAL: BE INSTRUMENTAL IN

ENCOURAGING CHILDREN TO DEVELOP

THE GOOD HABIT OF MOVING THROUGH

SPACE, NURTURING THEIR PHYSICAL

POWER, & GETTING FIT.

Tips for a Diet that promotes Healthy TeethOf course we all know that a healthy diet

is good for our bodies, but did you know that what you eat affects your teeth as well? Here is a list of simple ways you can improve your oral health by paying close attention to your diet. Brushing and flossing are vital to keeping your teeth healthy, but what you eat and drink in between your daily cleaning rituals also plays an important role in your oral health.

Plaque – an invisible, sticky layer of bacteria – regularly coats your teeth. When the starches and sugars present in many foods come into contact with this bacteria, acid is produced. This acid breaks down the enamel that protects the outside of your teeth, and over time can cause tooth decay. If you choose your foods wisely, you can decrease the amount of acid that attacks your teeth. Here are some diet tips for keeping your teeth healthy:

Limit foods anddrinks that are highin sugar, like cookies, candies and sodas – remember even unsweetened fruit juices are high in sugar. Readpackaging labels to find out how much sugar is included, and make educated choices in the products you purchase. Limitdriedfruits, which are sticky and cling to the teeth – instead, eat fresh fruit, especially apples, which serve as natural tooth cleaners.Avoid snacks betweenmeals – but if

you must snack, replace sugary treats with crackers, cheese, yogurt, nuts, and celery or carrot sticks, which produce less acid. If you do drink sugary liquids (soda, sports drinks, juices), avoid sipping slowly over a long period of time as this extends the period that acid attacks your teeth.

If you’re a regular coffee or tea drinker, reduceoreliminateaddedsugar. If your

children snack at school, be sure they have access to healthy snacks (veggies, fresh fruits, cheese) instead of packaged foods that are high in sugar. If you occasionally treat yourself to a sugary snack,brushyourteethafterwards to reduce the acid effect – if you aren’t near a toothbrush, rinsewithwaterorchewapieceofsugarlessgum to stimulate saliva, which helps clean your teeth.

Your diet also affects your overall health, which helps determine how well your body can fight off infection. If you aren’t getting certain nutrients, the tissues in your mouth may not be as resistant, leaving you more prone to periodontal (gum) disease.

If you have any questions about your diet and its effect on your oral health, let us know. We’ll be happy to guide you toward healthier eating habits.

Early Packing List: When to Get Travel VaccinationsPLANNING AHEAD IS THE KEY TO SAFE, HEALTHY GLOBE-TROTTING

Submitted by Laura Guerrero, M.D.,medical director for The Austin Diagnostic Clinic’s Travel Clinic

There are just a few days to go before your big trip overseas. You’ve triple checked your itinerary, memorized important maps, and maybe even practiced speaking a bit of the local language. But unless you have taken the proper vaccination measures well in advance, your health may be at risk.

One of the most overlooked to-dos on a busy pre-travel itinerary checklist is the need to get vaccines and other medical preparations taken care of weeks, sometimes even months, before a trip, says Laura Guerrero, M.D., an internal medicine physician and medical director of the Travel Clinic at The Austin Diagnostic Clinic (ADC).

“Depending on where in the world you are going, you may be exposed to diseases and other pathogens that your body just hasn’t had to cope with here in the United States. Often, vaccines are the best preventative measure to protect your health,” says Dr. Guerrero. “But what people sometimes forget is that many vaccines have to be taken over an extended period of time before they can effectively prevent an illness.”

ROUTINE, RECOMMENDED,& REQUIRED VACCINATIONS

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) divides travel vaccines into three categories: routine, recommended, and required. Dr. Guerrero says the number and type of vaccines you should receive will vary depending on what part of the world you are traveling to.

“Your particular vaccination and health needs can be as different as the Amazon jungle is to the Sahara desert,” says Dr. Guerrero. “The only way to know what vaccinations are recommended for you is by consulting with your doctor at least one month before you plan on traveling abroad.”

THE RIGHT VACCINEAT THE RIGHT TIME

Routine vaccinations are designed to protect you from diseases that rarely occur in the United States, but are still common in many parts of the world. According to the CDC, routine vaccinations should be administered for things such as influenza, tetanus, hepatitis A and B, measles, chickenpox, and zoster (shingles).

Exactly what routine vaccinations travelers should get will also depend mainly on your age and gender. And if you are traveling with children, they will likely require different vaccinations than an adult. Infants may need to have their vaccines administered over a period of several days or weeks, explains Dr. Guerrero. Recommended vaccinations will also depend on where you are traveling. The CDC lists vaccine information about specific destinations around the world on its website, http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/list.htm. The site includes detailed health information about specific countries.

“We will update your shot record so we know what vaccines you should be receiving,” says Dr. Guerrero. “And we will also counsel you about what diseases may be present in your destination, and how you can avoid exposure.” As far as required vaccinations

go, international health regulations currently only require a vaccination for yellow fever for travelers visiting certain countries in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical South America. Meningococcal vaccination is also required by the government of Saudi Arabia for annual travel during the Hajj—the term for the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, which occurs sometime between November and January.

“Even if you do not get your travel vaccines in time, it’s always a good idea to see your doctor before you travel abroad because you can still benefit from medications and other information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while on vacation in another country,” adds Dr. Guerrero.

HEALTHY TIPS WHILE ABROADOnce you have followed the vaccination

schedule exactly, there are many other health considerations to take into account, Dr. Guerrero says. If you are taking prescription medications, for example, make sure you bring enough to last your entire trip and that you keep them stowed in their original containers. It’s also a good idea to bring medicine for diarrhea, and to be cautious about drinking from local water supplies or eating things like raw seafood or other uncooked items.

“Part of ensuring a memorable travel experience abroad is making sure you are prepared for any potential health situations,” explains Dr. Guerrero. “For example, if you have a preexisting health condition, it’s always a good idea to know what your emergency care options are if something were to happen abroad. By taking the proper health planning measures, your trip of a lifetime can be filled with good memories instead of bad ones.”
