Where Do Your HC HOA Dues Go?by Lynn Maddox, Board Member at Large

Hunter's Chase is great place to live and play! We are lucky to have amenities many other neighborhoods don't, namely our park, tennis courts and pool.

Many residents don't realize it, but unlike other nearby neighborhoods, we, the property owners/neighborhood of Hunter's Chase, actually OWN these amenities. When the Springwoods MUD was annexed by the City of Austin last year, the Springwoods Pool closed, leaving nearby neighborhoods "high and dry," so to speak. Hunter's Chase residents will never have this worry.

These amenities are the centerpiece of our neighborhood, foster our sense of community and add to our home values. Maintaining and preserving them consume the majority of our dues. For fiscal year 2013, our expenses were as follows:

• 67 percent went towards the maintenance, repair and several capital improvements for our park, tennis courts and pool.

• 15.5 percent covered the administrative costs of managing the association, which also included all legal and professional fees.

• 12 percent went to the utilities for the park, pool and tennis courts.

• 3 percent went for our taxes and 2.5 percent was spent for our annual Summerfest Meeting.

Your board, working closely with Goodwin Management, strives to be good stewards and managers of the HOA dues collected for our neighborhood and is happy to announce that no increase in dues is scheduled for 2014. Look for a report on repairs and upgrades completed in 2013 plus news and updates on exciting improvements for 2014 in next month's newsletter.

AMA CHOCOLATE SUGGESTIONS

From the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women site:

Depending on the sugar content and the quality, chocolate can be a healthy ingredient, full of anti-oxidants. Continue skipping the candy aisle and visit the health food store for quality unsweetened cocoa powder, cacao nibs and extra dark or bittersweet chocolate bars. Instead of making desserts, have fun experimenting with unsweetened chocolate being a surprise addition to your favorite savory family recipe.

HOW TO ADD CHOCOLATE TO YOUR FAVORITE FAMILY MEAL:

• Mix ground coffee, unsweetened cocoa powder and spices to make a dry rub for grilling meat.

• Add cacao nibs to a green salad with lowfat cheese for a crunchy bite.

• Sprinkle crushed cacao nibs over a pureed vegetable soup, such as cauliflower and parsnip.

• If making pasta from scratch, add unsweetened cocoa powder to the dough.

• Spread natural, unsalted peanut butter over half of a whole grain bagel and layer with sliced bananas. Sprinkle unsweetened cocoa powder on top.

• Add bittersweet chocolate chips to granola or oatmeal cereals.

• Add cocoa powder to your morning oatmeal with cinnamon, vanilla and raisins.

Heart Healthy LifestylesBy: Concentra Urgent Care

Approximately every 60 seconds, an American will die from a coronary event.

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), an estimated 71 million Americans have some form of heart disease, the most common being high blood pressure. And most of these problems are self-created by poor lifestyle choices.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO LIVE HEART HEALTHY? THE AHA RECOMMENDS:

• Eating a healthy diet• Lean, skinless meats and poultry• Fat-free, 1% fat, and low-fat dairy products• Avoid foods containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oil

or added sugars• Avoid foods high in dietary cholesterol• Prepare foods without added salt, saturated fat, and trans fat• Exercising regularly• 20-to-60 minutes per day, 3-to-5 times per week• Avoiding tobacco products and tobacco smoke• Limiting your alcohol intake• Women: 1 drink per day (maximum)• Men: 2 drinks per day (maximum)

In addition to poor lifestyle choices, heredity plays a factor in heart disease, too. It is therefore important to know your family history to help identify familial risk factors and help prevent the development of certain familial illnesses.

WHAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A FAMILY HISTORY?

• Any known congenital or hereditary disorders• Major illnesses• Chronic ailments or risk factors• Smoking• Obesity• Alcohol problems• The cause and age of death of any deceased relatives• Childhood conditions• Major illnesses• Vaccinations• Surgeries• Treatments, especially those involving radiation

For more information on living a heart healthy lifestyle, you can contact your health care provider or visit the American Heart Association’s Web site at:
