Message From the Board

It is time (again) to clean out attics, garages and closet and get rid of your unappreciated “treasures” that someone else may covet. Mark your calendars for Saturday, November 12 from 8:00 to noon for the Wood Glen/Hidden Glen Autumn Garage Sale. This Autumn›s Garage Sale is in conjunction with our neighbors in Wood Glen that it should drive additional traffic.

Our sponsor this spring is Cynthia Maguire with RE/MAX Capital City. Please email her at [email protected] should you have any questions. Cynthia will be providing signage for both neighborhoods at the entrance of the subdivisions several days before the sale to advertise the event. In addition, she will be placing ads in the Austin American Statesman and the Round Rock Leader.

AUTUMNGARAGE SALE

The Annual Meeting of the Homeowners Association for Hidden Glen has been set for Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at the First United Methodist Church at the corner of North Mays and US Highway 79. We will use the same format as with previous meetings, an informal question and answer session followed by the official business meeting.

6:30 – 7:30 PM Q&A with Goodwin and the Board of Directors7:30 – 8:30 PM HOA Meeting and Election of the Expiring Director Position

We will be in the same room as in the past, Building 5, Room 127. If you enter the doors directly behind the bank drive-through, the room will be immediately on your left. Because of the limited space, no children please.

All homeowners are encouraged to attend. This is a great opportunity to ask questions in an open forum with the Board, the Committee Chairs, the HOA management company, and your neighbors all in attendance. If we don’t immediately know the answer, we’ll find out – you may even see the topic covered in a future newsletter. It’s also a great opportunity to find out what is happening in the various committees to see where you can get involved.

In addition, the board needs your input to ensure we are representing the interests of the neighborhood as a whole, not just a vocal minority. We all do our best to separate our personal preferences from the decision-making process, but it’s always beneficial to hear what you perceive to be the highest priority needs of the community. Also at the meeting we will elect someone to fill the expiring Board position. If you are interested in running or nominating someone, please provide that person’s name to Marilyn Childress or one of the current Board members prior to the meeting.

ARC Guidelines. The ARC Guidelines serve as a supplement to the Rules but do not override them.

The ARC Guidelines have been recently updated due to an issue brought up by some residents concerning playscapes. The existing restriction capped the playscape height at 10 feet regardless of location. However, the residents pointed out that the available playscapes for older children were a minimum of 11 ½ feet. After further research and careful consideration, the ARC recommended increasing the maximum height to accommodate the playscapes for older children while increasing the property line setback to preserve the privacy of adjacent residents. These changes were then unanimously approved by the Board.

The Hidden Glen HOA Rules and the ARC Guidelines are posted on the Hidden Glen page of the Goodwin Management website. The page also contains a copy of the form that must be submitted whenever a property modification is being considered. Installation of playscapes is one of those items that must be pre-approved by the ARC. When in doubt about whether a project requires approval, please ask. It is easier to inquire up front rather than have to undertake expensive repairs because a project is noncompliant.

TOBACCO SMOKE CAN TRIGGERCHILD’S ASTHMA ATTACK

Exposure to smoke can worsen your child’s asthma and should be eliminated to help effectively manage symptoms, said a pediatric pulmonologist at Baylor College of Medicine. “Sometimes treating a child’s asthma means treating the parent’s tobacco addiction,” said Dr. Harold Farber, associate professor of pediatrics - pulmonary at BCM and associate medical director of the Texas Children’s Health Plan at Texas Children’s Hospital.

If your child has asthma and you are a smoker, Farber said it’s critical to get your tobacco dependence treated. “When you smoke, whether it’s indoors or out, your child is exposed to the irritant,” said Farber. He encouraged smokers to talk to their doctors and to call the free national smoker’s help line at 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) for assistance to become smoke free.

VITAMIN C PROTECTS, MAINTAINSHEALTHY BONE MASS

Vitamin C plays an important role in maintaining bone mass - promoting the balance between old bone resorption and new bone formation, said a Baylor College of Medicine doctor. Most experts recommend vitamin D, calcium, exercise and bisphosphonates to keep bones healthy, said Dr. Kenneth Gabbay, professor of pediatrics - molecular diabetes and metabolism at BCM. Vitamin C is sometimes left out of the healthy bone equation but studies show that it’s equally important. Food high in vitamin C includes oranges, strawberries, dark, leafy lettuce, broccoli, bell peppers and fresh herbs. Most daily vitamin supplements also contain vitamin C.

SLEEPING PILLS NOT EASY ANSWERWhen sleep doesn’t come easily, some people turn to what they

think is an easy solution - sleeping pills. But according to a Baylor College of Medicine sleep expert, sleep medications - whether prescription or over-the-counter - shouldn’t be taken lightly. “All medications have side effects that need to be weighed whenever you take them,” cautioned Dr. Phil Alapat, assistant professor of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine at BCM and medical director of the BCM Sleep Center. Some of the most common prescription sleep medications are non-benzodiazepine hypnotics, like Ambien and Lunesta. These medications are not physically addictive and will not cause withdrawal symptoms when a person stops taking them. However, many people depend on them because they believe they cannot sleep without them, Alapat said.

One of the most common over-the-counter sleep aids is the nutritional supplement melatonin. It is helpful for some people but Alapat cautioned that it is not , an FDA regulated substance. Over-the-counter sleeping pills may also contain antihistamines and while these can help a person sleep, they have other side effects, including dry eyes and mouth. They may also cause an altered mental state,

and this can be especially concerning in older adults, Alapat said. Before turning to any type of sleep aid, Alapat recommends a visit to a physician, or a sleep disorders specialist.

BEST BETS IN BEVERAGES FOR KIDSWhen your kids need something to drink, reconsider reaching for

that juice box. It’s easy to get confused about what is and what is not a fruit juice. According to Roberta Anding, a registered dietitian at Baylor College of Medicine, if the label does not say 100 percent juice, it is not genuine fruit juice but fruit-flavored instead. Such fruit-flavored beverages, like many of those handy little juice boxes, have higher sugar content than fruit juice and are even comparable to sodas. A better option is to substitute actual pieces of fruit for fruit juice or fruit-flavored drinks.

Healthy beverage choices are important throughout the day to keep hydrated and provide good nutrition. Anding suggests following a beverage pyramid, much like the well-known food pyramid. “Kids should drink mostly water, then low-fat or skim milk, and then real fruit juice in moderation,” she said. “Limit sodas since they are full of sugar and have no nutritional value.”

Parents can help their children make healthy beverage choice by making healthy options available and being a good role model.



We solve all the pieces to the puzzle.
