The Third Annual

Forest Creek Neighborhood Watch

Spring Carnival

Sparkling Straw-

berry Kiwi Sangria

1 lb strawberries

1 lb kiwis

1 cup light rum

1 bottle white wine (such assauvignon blanc)

1 bottle sparkling wine, chilled

(such as cava)

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

3 oranges

A pitcher or other large con-

tainer

Directions:Hull the strawberries and cut

them in half. Peel the kiwis and

cut them into slices.

Combine half of the halved

strawberries, the sugar, and the

water in a saucepan, and turn the

heat up to medium. Bring the

mixture to a boil and then let

simmer, stirring occasionally,

for 10 minutes or until the straw-

berries seem like they’re about

to fall apart. Let cool for a few

minutes, and then, using a meshsieve, strain the strawberry

goodness into a bowl. Use a

spoon to press them up against

the mesh so you get every last

beautiful drop of strawberry

syrup. Place the syrup in the re-

frigerator to cool a bit.

Combine the kiwi slices and the

remaining strawberries in a

pitcher, and add the rum, white

wine, strawberry syrup, and the

juice of three oranges (in a

pinch, you could also sub a few

splashes of bottled orange juice,

or even lemonade, for the fresh

orange juice). Give it all a good

stir and then pop the pitcher in

the refrigerator for at least four

hours to let all of the flavors

come together.

When you’re ready to serve, add

around three-quarters of the

chilled sparkling wine to the

pitcher. Pour into glasses and

spoon in fruit, topping off each

glass with a bit of the remaining

champagne so it’s nice and bub-

bly when you hand the glass to a

friend.

Announcements, Accomplishments, and Accolades

UNT logistics students Mary Catherine Schoals, Laura Catalina Quinones Rios, Dylan

Smith and Jacob Koren defeated the two-time defending champions to clinch the top prize

at the 2016 Operation Stimulus Case Competition. Photo courtesy of UNT.

UNT logistics continues winning streak, beats defending champs at

third North American case contest!

“There is no room for error in this competition,” said Ila Manuj, assistant professor of logistics and faculty

advisor for the Logistics Student Association at UNT. “This is a major competition with quite a few big-

name schools and esteemed professors. The students that compete come from all over the U.S. and Can-

ada.”

The UNT team – Jacob Koren of Lewisville, Texas; Mary Catherine Schoals of Flower

Mound, Texas; Dylan Smith of Round Rock, Texas; and Laura Catalina Quinones Rios ofMedellin, Colombia – defeated 15 teams from major logistics schools, including the two-

time defending champions from Dalhousie University in Canada.

The win is a first for UNT, and it is also the first time UNT students have won three of the major case com-

petitions for logistics and supply chain undergraduates during a calendar year. UNT students clinched the

top prize at the Intermodal Association of North America – University of North Florida Case Competition

last May. Additionally, this September, UNT students won the Intermodal EXPO Academic Challenge for

the third consecutive year. You Make Forest Creek Proud Dylan Smith!

The liver, weighing in at about 3 pounds in

healthy adults, is one of the body’s vital or-

gans. It is responsible for many important

functions related to

digestion, metabolism,

immunity and the

storage of nutrients

that the body needs to

survive. Moreover, the liver is a gland

that secretes chemicals required by other

parts of the body. In fact, the liver is theonly part of your body that is both an organ

and a gland.

A healthy liver regulates the composition of

blood, removes harmful toxins from the

blood as well as processes and converts

nutrients absorbed by the intestines during

digestion into forms

that the body can use.

It also stores some

vitamins, iron and

simple sugar glucose.

It is also responsible for breaking down in-

sulin, hemoglobin and other hormones. In

addition, it destroys old red blood cells and produces chemicals needed for blood to clot

properly.

Continued from last page…..

Because the liver performs so many

vital functions, it is important to keep it

healthy. An unhealthy diet and poor

lifestyle can overwork and overload

the liver, leaving it unable to process

toxins and fat efficiently.

This in turn can raise the risk of obe-

sity, cardiovascular disease, chronic

fatigue, headaches, digestive problems,

allergies and many other health prob-

lems.

Eating the foods in the chart on the left

on a regular basis can help cleanse, re-

juvenate and detoxify your liver. This

will help keep your liver healthy and

functioning the way you need it to.

Austin real estate is

already hot, and

things are only

getting hotter.

According to the Realtor.com

2016 Housing Forecast released

Wednesday, 2016 will yield

impressive growth for the local

market.

"In 2016, we expect single-

family home sales in the

[Austin-Round Rock area] to

increase by 10 percent com-

pared to 2015. Median single-

family home prices are ex-

pected to increase by 5 per-cent," reads the report.

Millennials are predicted to

be among the top buyers, and

Realtor.com says Austin-Round

Rock will be the fifth most

sought out city for 25- to 34-

year-olds looking to purchase a

home.

The report attributes the ex- pected sales growth, in part, to

Austin's growing population.

Compared to 2012, the local

labor force and the number of

households will have increased by 12 percent by 2016. Other

factors include a stronger econ-

omy and a lower unemploy-

ment rate, which has decreased

by 36 percent in the same time

These factors resort in intense

competition for housing. Austin

The Austin-Round Rock

housing trends mirror the overall

solid growth in 2016, leading to

Renovations That

Really pay off

we’re tackling the big

kahuna: kitchens. Here aresix home improvement

projects in this all-important

room that experts say come

with significant financial

benefits down the road.

Cha-ching!

Amped-up appliances

Call it a need for eye candy, but

shiny new appliances — fridge,

stove, stainless-steel dish-

washer — have a huge impact on

prospective home buyers, ac-

cording to Realtor® Al Cannis-

tra.

High-end appliances are also

typically the most expensive

renovation, usually with an

equally high ROI. Cannis-

tra mentions one home

with outdated appliances that sat

on the market unsold; once the

owners updated everything,

“they received two offers the

first week” and the house sold at

“significantly higher than ask-

ing.”

But don’t feel like you have to

replace appliances at once.

Just swap out what you can —

when you can — so by the time

your home’s on the market the

overall buyer impression is

“Hey, nice kitchen!” rather than

“The ’70s sure were a crazy

time, eh?”

One caveat: “Keep the appli-

ances and plumbing where they

are,” suggests Justin

Riordan, founder of Spade and

Archer Design Agency,

“because the rule of thumb is to

add $5,000 each time you relo-

cate either.”

Refreshed cabinets

After appliances, cabinets are

the most expensive item on

a kitchen upgrade checklist,

averaging between $3,900 and

$12,000. So don’t leap into

trashing the old ones.

“If you have existing wood

cabinets that are still in de-

cent shape, instead of com- pletely refacing them, give

them a fresh coat of paint,”

says Tracy Kay Grif-

fin, designer for HGTV’s “Get

It Sold.” Rust-Oleum makes an

easy-to-use Cabinet Transfor-

mation kit.

Another small remodeling

project with instant impact:

replacing the cabinet hardware.“Choose a satin or brushed

finish so they don’t show

fingerprints,” says Erin Davis,

lead designer and co-owner

New countertopsA new countertop may be pricey, but Realtorsagree that the impact onfuture home buyers ishuge. And don’t just

take it for granted thatyou should go for gran-ite; the NKBA report shows that quartzcountertops have morecachet these days.

Also remember that replacing acountertop “provides an oppor-tunity to install a new glass orsubway backsplash for addi-tional punch,” says Davis. “A

budget-friendly option is to in-stall a 4-inch-high splash out ofthe same countertop material.”

Given the sink is the mostused item in your kitchen, a brand-new one will pop — even if it’s on an old counter-

top. So consider installingone with two troughs ormade of stainless steel, themost popular material, ac-cording to Consumer Re- ports. For the truly budget-friendly op-tion, get a fancy new faucet, sug-gests Griffin: “This is quick andinexpensive but can make a hugedifference.”

Save money by making Homemade Chicken Broth!

Ingredients

1 3- to 4-pound organic stewing hen, 1-2 organic

chicken carcasses, or 3-4 pounds of organic chicken

necks, backs and wings

4 quarts filtered water

2-4 organic chicken feet (optional)

1-2 organic chicken heads (optional)

2 tablespoons organic apple cider vinegar

3 organic celery stalks, coarsely chopped

2 organic carrots, coarsely chopped

1 organic onion, quartered

Handful of fresh parsley

Sea salt

Method:

Put the chicken or carcasses in a pot with 4

quarts of water; add the chicken feet and heads (if

you’re using them) and the vinegar.

Let sit for 30 minutes to give the vinegar time to

leach the minerals out of the bones.

Add the vegetables and turn on the heat.

Bring to a boil and skim the scum.

Reduce to barely a simmer, cover, and cook for 6

to 24 hours.

During the last 10 minutes of cooking, throw in a

handful of fresh parsley for added flavor and miner-

als.

Let the broth cool, strain it, and take any remain-

ing meat off the bones to use in future cooking.

Add sea salt to taste and drink the broth as is or

store it in the fridge (up to 5 to 7 days), or freezer (up

to 6 months) for use in soups and stews.

Frogs Swim Team!

The summer swim season is

upon us! Children ages 4-

18 from the Forest Creek,

Lake Forest and ForestCreek III HOA’s are invited

to join us for the 2016 sea-

son. This year the swim

season will start on May

9th and finish with the

Championship Meet sched-

uled for July 9th

and 10th

.

Please visit our website -

www.fastfrogs.net - for

more details on skill re-

quirements, practice infor-

mation and our events cal-

endar!

March 5th - Swim Evalua-

tions - New and Returning

Swimmers may reserve a

time using the Signup

Genius link on our website.

It is important that all re-

turning tadpoles, returning

pollywogs and interested

new swimmers under the

age of 12 sign up for aswim evaluation.

Attending a swim evalua-

tion does not guarantee

swimmers a spot on the

team. Our first concern is

the safety our swimmers,

as such participants mustmeet minimum skill

requirements as defined

by our coaches.

After returning families,

registration priority is given

to new applicants from the

Lake Forest, Forest Creek

and Forest Creek III

neighborhoods.

Every season there is the

potential that interest will

exceed the maximum num-

ber of swimmers we cansafely put in the pool.

New families from outside

be registered on a case-by-

case basis.

PARENTS PAGES brought to you by The Forest Creek Young ExplorersWhere Everyday is an Adventure and Every Child A Treasure!!

Encouraging

good behavior:

15 tips

Try these tips to encourage the

behavior you want in your chil-

dren.1.Children do as you do. Your

child watches you to get clues on

how to behave in the world.

You’re her role model, so use

your own behavior to guide her.

What you do is often much more

important than what you say. If

you want your child to say

‘please’, say it yourself. If youdon’t want your child to raise

her voice, speak quietly and gen-

tly yourself.

2. Show your child how you

feel. Tell him honestly how his

behavior affects you. This will

help him see his/her own feel-

ings in yours, like a mirror. Thisis called empathy. By the age of

three, children can show real

empathy. So you might say, ‘I’m

getting upset because there is so

much noise I can’t talk on the

phone’. When you start the sen-

tence with ‘I’, it gives your child

the chance to see things from

your perspective.

3. Catch her being ‘good’. This

simply means that when yourchild is behaving in a way you

like, you can give her some posi-

tive feedback. For example,

‘Wow, you are playing so

nicely. I really like the way you

are keeping all the blocks on the

table’. This works better than

waiting for the blocks to come

crashing to the floor before you

take notice and bark, ‘Hey, stop

that’. This positive feedback is

sometimes called ‘descriptive

praise’. Try to say six positive

comments (praise and encour-

agement) for every negative

comment (criticisms and repri-

mands). The 6-1 ratio keeps

things in balance. Remember

that if children have a choice

only between no attention or

negative attention, they will seek

out negative attention.

4. Get down to your child’s

level. Kneeling or squatting

down next to children is a very

powerful tool for communicat-

ing positively with them. Getting

close allows you to tune in to

what they might be feeling or

thinking. It also helps them fo-

cus on what you are saying or

asking for. If you are close to

your child and have his atten-

tion, there is no need to make

him look at you.

5. ‘I hear you.’ Active listening

is another tool for helping young

children cope with their emo-

tions. They tend to get frustrated

a lot, especially if they

can’t express themselves well

enough verbally. When you re-

peat back to them what you

think they might be feeling, it

helps to relieve some of their

tension. It also makes them feel

respected and comforted. It can

diffuse many potential temper

tantrums.

6. Keep promises. Stick to

agreements. When you follow

through on your promises, good

or bad, your child learns to trust

and respect you. So when you

promise to go for a walk after

she picks up her toys, make sure

you have your walking shoes

handy. When you say you will

leave the library if she doesn’t

stop running around, be prepared

to leave straight away. No need

to make a fuss about it – the

more matter of fact, the better.

This helps your child feel more

secure, because it creates a con-

sistent and predictable environ-

ment.

7. Reduce temptation. Your

glasses look like so much fun to

play with – it’s hard for children

to remember not to touch. Re-

duce the chance for innocent but

costly exploration by keeping

that stuff out of sight

8. Choose your battles. Before

you get involved in anything

your child is doing – especially

to say ‘no’ or ‘stop’ – ask your-

self if it really matters. By keep-

ing instructions, requests and

negative feedback to a mini-

mum, you create less opportu

nity for conflict and bad feel-

ings. Rules are important, but

use them only when it’s really

important.

9. Whining: be strong. Kids

don’t want to be annoying. By

giving in when they’re whining

for something, we train them to

do it more – even if we don’t

mean to. ‘No’ means ‘no’, not

maybe, so don’t say it unless

you mean it. If you say ‘no’ and

then give in, children will whine

even more the next time, hopingto get lucky again.

10. Keep it simple and posi-

tive. If you can give clear in-

structions in simple terms, your

child will know what is ex-

pected of him. (‘Please hold my

hand when we cross the

road.’) Stating things in a posi-

tive way gets their heads think-

ing in the right direction. For

example, ‘Please shut the gate’

is better than ‘Don't leave the

gate open’.

Pop Quiz: Do You Have to Pro-

vide Your Child’s Social Security

Number on School Enrollment

Forms?

by Elaine Rigoli

This recent editorial cartoon in The New Yorker puta face on how simple it is for hackers to succeed at

stealing sensitive information online.It happens as easily to adults as it does to kids. Nearly 400,000 kids get their identities stolen eachyear, according to the Federal Trade Commission.In fact, federal authorities have warned about peo-

ple with bad credit buying “credit profile numbers”or CPNs from businesses that use computers to lo-cate and sell Social Security numbers issued tochildren.Identity thieves steal kids’ Social Security numbers because their credit is generally untarnished. It’snot until years later — when they apply for a storecredit card, a college loan, or a job — that they find

out their credit has been destroyed.Just think of all the personal details you provide toyour child’s school before enrollment: name, dateof birth, Social Security number, home address, parents’ names, phone numbers, emails, and otherhighly sensitive personal information.That information is also all that is needed to stealyour child’s identity — but especially the SocialSecurity number.Of course, most parents expect that a student’s re-cord is private and won’t be stolen. Surely that sort

of file is kept under lock-and-key in some old-fashioned, dusty file drawer in the back of the prin-cipal’s office, right? Turns out, that’s wrong. Your child’s sensitive per-sonal information is not safe or secure. It’s enteredinto a district-wide database that can be accessed by anyone with permission. And in many cases,hackers have accessed the information as well.So, do you actually have to give your child’s SocialSecurity number to enroll him or her in a publicschool?

The surprising answer is “no” – thanks to a federallaw stating that students are not required to providetheir Social Security numbers to schools in order to

prove citizenship.

11. Responsibility and conse-

quences. As children get older,

you can give them more respon-

sibility for their own behavior.

You can also give them the

chance to experience the naturalconsequences of that behavior.

You don’t have to be the bad

guy all the time. For example, if

your child forgot to put her

lunch box in her bag, she will go

hungry at lunch time. It is her

hunger and her consequence. It

won’t hurt her to go hungry just

that one time. Sometimes, withthe best intentions, we do so

much for our children that we

don’t allow them to learn for

themselves. At other times you

need to provide consequences

for unacceptable or dangerous

behavior. For these times, it is

best to ensure that you have ex-

plained the consequences and

that your children have agreed to

them in advance.

12. Say it once and move on. It

is surprising how much your

child is listening even though he

might not have the social matur-

ity to tell you. Nagging and criti-

cizing is boring for you and

doesn’t work. Your child will

just end up tuning you out and

wonder why you get more upset.

If you want to give him one last

chance to cooperate, remind him

of the consequences for not co-

operating. Then start counting to

three.

13. Make your child feel im-

portant. Children love it when

they can contribute to the family.

Start introducing some simple

chores or things that she can do

to play her own important part in

helping the household. This will

make her feel important and

she’ll take pride in helping out.

If you can give your child lots of

practice doing a chore, she will

get better at it and will keep try-

ing harder. Safe chores help chil-

dren feel responsible, build

their self-esteem and help you

out too.

14. Prepare for challenging

situations. There are times when

looking after your child and do-

ing things you need to do will be

tricky. If you think about these

challenging situations in ad-

vance, you can plan around your

child’s needs. Give him a five-

minute warning before you need

him to change activities. Talk to

him about why you need his co-

operation. Then he is prepared

for what you expect.

15. Maintain a sense of humor.

Another way of diffusing tension

and possible conflict is to use

humor and fun. You can pretend

to become the menacing tickle

monster or make animal noises.

But humor at your child’s ex-

pense won't help. Young chil-

dren are easily hurt by parental

‘teasing’. Humor that has you

both laughing is great.
