Yard of the Month March 2007

9506 Tea Rose Trail

Congratulations! You have been nominated by you neighbors as our Cherry Creek on Brodie Yard of the Month winner. Thank you for freshening our community!!

Freezing in the rain - isnt that a song

Greetings again and welcome to our Spring Cleaning edition of the Cherry Creek Chronicles. We are looking forward to get back outside and working in our yards, parks, and entrance. In the area of yards, we have two articles this edition focusing on our trees and gardens. We hope you will find them useful. Megan and I are also looking forward to the Cherry Creek on Brodie Lane 2nd Annual Spring Cleaning Garage Sale, tentatively scheduled for the fourth Saturday in March (this year that translates to the 24th). Given all the rug-rats roaming our household, we are expecting to have lots of tough decisions to make regarding what stays and what goes. The participation last year was exceptional and we are looking to even greater success this year. Our neighborhood association will place signs at the front entrance and will also place ads in the local papers to promote the event. So roll up those sleeves and take advantage of the opportunity. We will place additional information on the front entrance marquee and bulletin board as the event draws near. As those of you in the association who attended our 2007 Annual Neighborhood Association meeting already know, our primary project this year is to build a bridge across the big ditch in our main park. With the new playscape now completed (replete with water fountain – woohoo!), it is time to focus our attention on making it safe for our kids to get to and from Cowen Elementary, and from one side of the park to the other. We have talked about this one for several years

now…let’s see if we can pull together and make it a reality! I hope all of you have noticed the repairs to the front entrance lights. Those things are expensive! There is more work to be done to protect the lights from future damage and we will be soliciting some strong backs this spring as we enhance our entrance signs with rock/stone/brick landscape bordering. We are able to make significant investments of this type to the benefit of the local community due the limited but continued support of our association membership. For the past several years we have averaged 100 members annually. Those are the folks that elected to pay the voluntary annuals dues out of a potential 248 members. Here’s hoping you join us in 2007 in our continued efforts to make our little community one of most desirable enclaves in Southwest Austin. Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to emphasize that, while neighborhood association membership is voluntary, the deed restrictions for Cherry Creek on Brodie Lane are mandatory. Please take the time to read through the set that applies to your residence. (Note: if you lease your property, you should request a copy of the deed restrictions from your landlord. We are in the process of posting our articles, bylaws, and deed restrictions to our community website at http://www.main.org/ccobna.) Understanding the guidelines for managing our properties helps all of us maintain our great little community.

Yard of the Month

My vote this month is for:

Address

You make us look good!

First impressions mean a lot. When you see a neatly landscaped and well-cared-for yard, it says a great deal not just about the homeowner but the entire neighborhood. Well-landscaped properties not only look good, but they add so much to our home values as well.

If there is a home in Cherry Creek that you would like to vote for this month as a home that will “Make Us Look Good,” please fill out the coupon below and drop it in the mail box in front of the neighborhood by the marquee.

We would like this to be a monthly item to recognize our neighbors who take pride in their property and our neighborhood.

Box Tops for EducationHave you seen these in your kitchen and wondered what to do with them? Here is the answer. Clip them off the package and put them in the mailbox on the front marquee! They will then be donated to our local schools to provide much needed money. Each box top is worth ten cents to a neighborhood school. It may not sound like much but if the whole neighborhood saves them, it could add up to big money. Here is a brief history of the Box Top$ program.

2005 - Box Tops has now helped our nation’s schools earn over $130 million and includes over 86,000 participating schools. For the first time ever, the program expands to include brands outside of General Mills.

2006 - 10 Years. Over $175 million donations. More than 95,000 Box Tops schools. Box Tops continues its tradition of making a difference for more schools... and more kids... year after year.

Experts offer best bets in beverages for kids When your kids want something to drink, reconsider that juice box. "Many parents are confused about what is and what is not a fruit juice,” explained Marilyn Swanson, registered dietitian at the USDA/ARS Children’s Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital. “If the label does not say 100 percent juice, it is not genuine fruit juice.” Fruit-flavored beverages, like many of those handy juice boxes, have sugar content that is comparable to sodas. A better option is to substitute actual pieces of fruit. Healthy beverage choices are important throughout the day to keep kids hydrated and to provide good nutrition. Swanson recommends that children drink mostly water, then low-fat or skim milk, and then real fruit juice in moderation. Sodas should be limited since they are full of sugar and have no nutritional value. She also offers two main strategies for parents: make healthy options available and be a good role model.

Test can help diagnose vertigo patients with sound sensitivity Inner ear specialists at Baylor College of Medicine are finding a surprising upswing in vertigo cases among people sensitive to specific frequencies. "Patients will say, ‘When I hear loud sounds, I either feel like my eyes are fluttering, or my vision changes and I feel dizzy for a few seconds,” said Dr. Helen Cohen, professor of otolaryngology at BCM. “One patient couldn’t listen to his daughter talk because her voice made him light-headed.” A large percentage of these sound sensitivities has been traced to superior canal dehiscence, an irregularity in which a thin bone over the inner ear erodes, disrupting the mechanisms that gauge equilibrium and sound and causing vertigo. Many vertigo sufferers, especially those whose jobs involve loud machinery, are incapacitated from performing many daily activities. The exact trouble spot inside the ear is not always readily apparent, but fortunately, an accurate if relatively unknown examination called a vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) test can help differentiate among several causes of vertigo. Developed in the 1990s but not used clinically until recently, the VEMP test identifies the specific site of injury to the inner ear and/or the balance nerve. During the noninvasive test, small recording electrodes are taped to the neck and shoulders of the patient. Sounds are presented to one ear while the patient’s head is held in a certain orientation. VEMP tests are slowly gaining widespread practice and given the prevalence of gadgets with earpieces and headphones, Cohen foresees more manifestations of sound sensitivity.
