Tamarack Tamarack gâÜyFrom the PresidentMarty Samojedny | 630-904-6077 | [email protected]

The last few months has given us a whole new meaning for the term “Cold Chicago Winter”.The weekend of the Polar Vortex our heating system failed and we spent a few days dressedup for cold weather indoors until a new heating system could be installed. A winter to

remember. Hopefully everyone has had better luck.Without any doubt you have noticed that the lighting for our Route 59 entrance way continues to be

out. The golf course provides the monument electrical service from their north parking lot maintenancebuilding. The golf course has had additional electrical problems in the parking lot area. At this point, noone knows where the electrical service underground cables are located. It will likely be spring before theelectrical service can be repaired.

We had some good news with the 111th Street electrical service which was activated on January8th. So, the 111th Street entrance way monument lighting is restored. Dealing with ComEd for the past16 months to run an electrical service line 165 feet has been an experience that I will try to avoid in thefuture.

In the last newsletter I mention the development being planned for the 110 acres directly south ofthe South Pointe neighborhood and along 119th Street. There was a Naperville planning commissionmeeting on February 6th that ended in a tie vote which is sending a “Non-Recommendation” to the citycouncil. You can join in the opposition to this project and keep informed about its status at the followingwebsite planforus.org.

We sent out our TFHOA Annual Assessment invoices in mid-January with a February 15th due date.For the past three years we have been emailing the invoices to all homeowners with email addresses inour system. If you received a printed invoice or no invoice at all, please provide us with a valid emailaddress. You can provide us an email address and other current contact information on our website athttp://www.tamarackfairways.org/update-info.html.

We are still planning to publish a new directory, update our website and propose an amendmentthat deals with the maintenance and upkeep of individual homes and landscaping.

This newsletter and our website contains the contact information for the members of your board.Please feel free to contact any of the board members with your ideas, issues and concerns. Copies ofrecent newsletters, general meeting minutes and notices of future events, can be found on our websiteat tamarackfairways.org. Keep warm!

Hello everyone,Wishing you warmth and well-being. In following up on ourmost recent attempt to secure a landscaping service torepair the details at the Route 59th entrance due to theknown accident last year, I regret to report that there hasbeen little progress to date on securing a landscapingservice to make the necessary repairs. I met with a couplelandscaping services and received estimates, but we did notarrive at a contract as of yet. One of the issues has beentrying to match the replacement tree with the existingtype. I will continue to pursue additional estimates andsubmit for review and approval. Since we are close to thetail end of the winter season, I plan to have an approvedcontract with an approved landscape service to get thisdone by early spring as warmer weather shall permit.

Tamarack Turf February | 20196

The Christmas decorations are

put away and the Valentine’s

Day decorations are coming

out. We show our love to each other in

specific ways on Valentine’s Day, but

remember that February is also Healthy

Heart Month. What are the top things

we can do to show our heart some love

and keep it pumping at its best?

1. Eat less processed carbohydrates.Low‐carb diets are increasingly popular

because the reality is that too much

carbohydrate, especially processed/

refined carbohydrates can cause an

imbalance in our digestive tract and

consequently can put our health out of

balance. By choosing carbohydrates

largely from the “greens” category, our

nutrient intake remains high while our

refined carbohydrate intake stays low.

Those in the “greens” category would

be: leafy greens, cruciferous veggies

(broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and

Brussels sprouts) asparagus, celery,

cucumber, zucchini, chives, leeks, are

very low in carbs, but very high in

nutrients. The bulk of our produce

choices should be from this category.

Some fruit is good for us, and also packs

a big nutritional punch. But given the

“sweetness” of fruit, it should be a

smaller part of our produce choices.

The exception to the fruit rule is

avocado. It is an excellent source of

nutrients and healthy fats. Keep sugars

to a minimum by only eating sweet

treats (processed carbs like cookies,

etc.) occasionally.

2. Eat healthy fats to provide otherenergy sources, such as olive oil,coconut oil, MCT oil, avocado oil,grass fed butter and ghee.These provide nutrients and a

concentrated energy source that

compliments our diet and helps keep

our digestive tract healthy, as well as

keeping all our joints lubricated. Good

fats also help us feel full and less likely

to wander to the vending machine or

the cookie jar.

3. Avoid unhealthy fats, which arevery inflammatory. Trans fats are so

dangerous to our health, and do not

supply any nutritional value. Our

bodies do not process them well and

they cause inflammation. Steer clear of

any fat listed in an ingredient as

hydrogenated or partially

hydrogenated.

4. Choose healthy protein optionslike grass‑fed meat, pasturedchicken, cage‑free or Omega 3 eggsand wild‑caught fish.Prepare these with healthy fats and

flavorful herbs to keep us on target and

eating the best food sources. Protein

requirements on average are 1.2 grams

per kg of body weight.

(Pounds/2.2=kilograms). Don’t

overload on protein, it is not necessary

and is not a balanced diet providing the

maximum nutrients.

5. Reduce stress and make time forexercise to promote a healthy heart.Stress management and regular

exercise are key not only to our heart

health, but bone health and brain

health, as well. We often think that

stress is just part of our job, or our life

situation, but there are great stress

management techniques that help us

keep ourselves from feeling that

overwhelmed, stress‐out feeling too

often. Exercise is a great stress‐

reliever, so it’s really a double bonus.

Make time to be active 3‐5 days a week.

6. Supplements may be helpful forour heart and overall health.Vitamin D is essential for our immune

system, keeping inflammation in check

and subsequently protecting our heart.

Blood levels of Vitamin D are woefully

low in many people, and supplements

may be the only way to keep our blood

levels in the beneficial range (especially

during the winter months). We want

our Vitamin D levels to be at the high

end of normal: 50‐80 ng/mL. CoQ10 is

essential for our brain health, and

anyone taking a statin MUST

supplement with a high quality CoQ10.

(Other supplements may be necessary

if there are deficiencies or specific

healthy concerns/goals, but those

require a personalized nutrition

analysis and plan.)

Cardiovascular health is key in

keeping ourselves healthy: not only our

heart, but our brain and our circulatory

system, as well. Strive to pump up your

heart‐healthy strategies this month…

and the months to come.

Your Health & YOU!
