Security: When it’s cold outside, the bad people stay home! The Constable reported only one incident of damage to property on Slashwood. However, all of us are ready for our cold weather to go away. Don’t hesitate to call the Constable: 281-376-3472.

Clubhouse: Maria Carra reports only one rental, and a new vacuum was bought.

Swimming Pool: Think of relaxing in our crystal clear pool. The time is coming soon. Sweetwater Pools will again be managing our pool. They will be training lifeguards there in April. Then the Tidalwaves begin practice the end of April. Watch for the sign-up. Dianne Moynihan has graciously agreed to be our neighborhood representative for the pool. She will be managing the distribution of our identifying wristbands. Her updated telephone number is listed within the newsletter.

ARC/Deed Restrictions: There were four requests—all were approved. As you know, Chaparral Management, as instructed by the neighborhood, inspects the appearance of our homes every month. This month many reminders went out to remove mildew from your home, attend to your lawn, and move items like barbeques, bikes, trash cans out of site. Spring will probably be here by the time you read this. We’ll see you out front as we clean off the mildew!

We thank Dan Winters for diligently managing our Architectural Review Application and Deed Restrictions issues. Dan’s efforts have benefitted each resident he worked with and helped our whole

neighborhood retain its beautiful appearance. We welcome Adam Yauk for volunteering to replace Dan. We thank Adam profusely for stepping forward to help. Reach Adam at [email protected] 720-224-1759.

Action: The windscreens will be replaced at the tennis courts, and courts 3 and 4 will be resurfaced. We thank Sandy Eppright for agreeing to be out neighborhood Tennis Representative.

Still contact J. Lundy, 281-251-0510, if you have lost your tennis court key. We have renewed the contract for mosquito fogging. Did you know the truck comes by in the middle of the night from March 1 through Oct. 31? We have also continued our contract with the Constables’ office for patrolling. Thanks for paying your yearly dues so

that we can have these services.Our Board members have been in contact again this month with

the County Commissioner’s office over the issue of the stoplights on T.C. Jester. We have not only questioned the need for these stoplights but also have questioned what type of lights they might be. Answers don’t come too quickly. Contact any Board Representative with any questions you might have.

Shake off those winter doldrums and take a walk in our park. Register on our website www.terranovawest.com and look under “Facilities” to get the current gate code. Thanks, Martin Littmann, for managing our website.

Olympic Fever Can Encourage Physical Activity In Children

According to an expert at Baylor College of Medicine, the Olympics are a great opportunity for children to learn about physical activity and goal setting.

According to Dr. Jorge Gomez, associate professor of pediatrics in the division of adolescent and sports medicine at Baylor, Olympic competitions will encourage children to do something fun and active.

"Research has shown that the strongest predictor of children remaining physically active into adulthood is having experiences of being active with their parents," said Gomez.

He offers the following tips for parents when watching the Olympic Games with their children:

• Point out that the athletes are participating because it¹s fun for them.

• Emphasize athletes are where they are after years of hard work.

• Discuss what it means to be a team player and to have good sportsmanship.

• Focus on the fact that the athletes are fit because they take care of themselves by eating well and exercising.

• While encouraging children to explore new activities, keep safety in mind.
