Message from the HOA Board

Our CCR’s are the “rules” of our HOA. They can be found and searched easily on the HOA website, which is www.westsidehoa.org. Some of the rules are about what new construction can and cannot be built. When it comes to new houses being built, the New Construction Committee is in charge, and all approvals for new construction go through them. The New Construction Committee is Forestar, the developer, of Westside at Buttercup Creek. The HOA Board has no say or influence on any of the decisions made by the New Construction Committee. The New Construction Committee also has the authority to grant variances to the rules. For example, our rules state that 2 story houses are not to be built on corner lots. The New Construction Committee can grant a variance to a builder that would allow them to build a 2 story house on a corner lot. Developers will usually stick to the rules until the last few houses are being built out in a subdivision. At that point, they are more likely to grant variances to builders so that they can finish the subdivision. I’ve been told by our developer that this may happen here and there, but for the most part they will stick to the rules. So, if you see a house with a 4 car garage, or a 2 story house on the corner, or four 2 story houses in a row, or some other thing that doesn’t seem quite right, that is probably what is happening. If you have any questions or concerns, remember that it is the developer, and not the HOA, that is making these decisions.

Darrell ParkHOA President

Safety in Our Community I moved to Westside Preserve with my wife in November 2011.

I enjoy our peaceful streets, the wonderful people and the low incidence of crime; in fact, those are many of the reasons my wife and I purchased a home here. I have become active in our homeowners’ association and have done so because I want to do what I can to keep our community socially cohesive, safe from crime, and politically active.

Low crime rates are always welcome; however, if we take our good fortune for granted, we will unwittingly facilitate the growth of crime. One thing I have seen in my short time in our neighborhood is open garage doors. I am currently a Commander with the Austin Police Department with over 23 years in law enforcement. From that experience I know that criminals will drive from area to area looking specifically for open garages where they can choose what they want from the comfort of their vehicles. These thieves will not hesitate to help themselves to your property, often when you are present in the house or even outside in your yard. Please make an effort to always close and secure all the doorways in your home, including the garage doors.

I prepared the above text in preparation for this newsletter prior to the recent home invasion robberies that have occurred in our community. While the point of entry for those robbers was not the garage door, it is important to realize the danger created by leaving a garage door unsecured. Not only do open garages lead to property crime, but a person home alone with an open garage can invite a far more serious problem by allowing a violent criminal into the home where there are no witnesses. Once a rapist or robber is inside your home with you, they have a huge strategic advantage because they have little to fear from being seen.

As you drive around your neighborhood, take note of the number of open garage doors. Together maybe we can decrease that number over time and possibly save someone’s life. In order to increase awareness and to further interest in strengthening our Neighborhood Watch, I ask that you consider getting involved. I am in the process

Dry Molasses – First Major Fertilization of the YearBy Howard Garrett

LAVA SAND DRY MOLASSESSome gardening advisors will tell you to

wait until April to make the first fertilizer application of the year, but that’s bad advice. Their concept is not to fertilize lawns and beds until the soil warms because the fertilizer will leach away before it does any good. Those same experts recommend fertilizing trees late winter. If your yard is anything like mine, you have some trees with roots that travel out well beyond the drip line and virtually cover the entire property. It’s tough to fertilize one without the other.

The non-organic folks are right about one thing - typical water soluble synthetic fertilizers will leach away. That’s one reason I don’t recommend them. They also salt up the soil, kill soil microbes and ruin soil structure.

Here’s what you should do. Fertilize late winter with any organic fertilizer at 20 lbs. per 1,000 square feet. These naturally-slow-

release products will feed the roots of trees, shrubs and even grasses before they start to grow. January and February are the ideal months to fertilize in the South. Those in the North will have to wait for the soil to thaw.

Dry molasses has become my favorite organic fertilizer. It is used to quickly stimulate microbes in the soil and give an indirect benefit of fertility. It should be used at 10 - 20 lbs. per 1000 sq ft. It can be beneficial on acreage at rates as low as 200 - 400 lbs. per acre. It also, in many cases, will run fire ants off the property.

The sugar level in quality dry molasses should be 42% percent vs. the 38% in some products. The Stockade product contains the proper amount of sugar and also is a cane sugar base, which is the best.

FIRST MAJOR FERTILIZATION PROGRAM

1. Fertilize all planting areas and turf with a natural-organic fertilizer at approximately 20 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. If the soil is already healthy, the rate can be reduced to 10 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft.

2. An ideal choice is dry molasses at 20 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.

3. Cool-season flowers can be fertilized with earthworm castings, fish meal, cottonseed meal, alfalfa, bat guano or other organic fertilizer at 10 - 20 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. in addition to dry molasses if desired.

4. Spray and drench plant roots with Garrett Juice Plus and Thrive by Alpha Bio.

5. Treat problem areas with ½ inch of compost and whole ground cornmeal at 20 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.

6. Feed interior plants with coffee grounds, earthworm castings, Garrett Juice and other gentle organic products.



Celebrated Chef Paul Petersen Combines Tradition with

Culinary Mastery at Vivo Lake Creek

As any Texan worth his boots knows, good Tex-Mex fare comes from the

heart, but great Tex-Mex is steeped in tradition. For years, restaurateur

Roger Diaz has been delighting Austinites with his family’s San Antonio-

style Tex-Mex recipes at his inspired Vivo restaurants. But it is the recent

addition of award-winning Executive Chef Paul Petersen that elevated Vivo

Lake Creek from a great Tex-Mex joint featuring the tastiest puffy tacos on

the planet, to a first-rate Tex-Mex gem offering dining experiences as

unique as the restaurant’s sultry and seductive lounge atmosphere.

Long known for his skill in elevating down-home Texas cuisine, Chef

Petersen’s refined culinary methods — combined with a whole lot of

barbecue mastery and some French-inspired panache — lend a sense of superb comfort-food style to the Vivo Lake Creek menu, building on

the restaurant’s already-successful Tex-Mex staples. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, Chef Petersen gained critical acclaim

while leading the kitchen at The Gage Hotel’s Café Cenizo in the West Texas desert town of Marathon. But it was his lifelong friendship with

the Diaz family, and a passion for creating new-fashioned Tex-Mex cuisine, that drove Chef Petersen to Vivo Lake Creek. Indeed, he credits

Diaz’s three generations of family cooks with inspiring him to get involved in the culinary world from a young age, and he fondly remembers

urging Diaz’s mother to reveal her family recipes.

“It makes so much sense for me to be at Vivo,” Chef Petersen says. “Roger’s family and I have been friendly my whole life, and he’s

developed a really successful Tex-Mex restaurant unlike anything else out there. Tex-Mex and Southwestern are in my blood, and by bringing

in some barbecue and French influences, we’re elevating the menu even more.”

In the months since Chef Petersen joined Vivo Lake Creek, diners have rekindled their

love affair with the Northwest Austin restaurant. And why not? Amid Vivo’s luxurious leather

booths, vibrant artwork and lush outdoor patio, Chef Petersen serves up new Vivo favorites

that have diners hankering for just one more bite. One of the chef’s favorite ingredients,

brisket, appears as menu specials in a number of iterations, such as mouthwatering slow-

cooked brisket tacos, and appears alongside menu delights like sweet and savory crab

enchiladas, delectable lobster sopapillas, braised pork belly and the occasional deep-fried

fajita chicken and waffles — an irresistible indulgence. Of course, Vivo staples like the

renowned puffy tacos, California nachos and an array of simply divine enchiladas covered in

Vivo’s signature sauces still anchor the menu, but even these Tex-Mex essentials pack more

eloquent flavor when created with the deft culinary skills of Chef Petersen.

Also an accomplished wine virtuoso, Chef Petersen has transformed the wine list at Vivo

Lake Creek into a commendable 40-bottle list comprised of unique selections from

throughout the world, many of which can only be found in Austin at this unexpected Tex-Mex

treasure. Appearing alongside an impressive array of tequilas, margaritas and signature

cocktails, the wine list is one more reason to raise a toast to Austin’s most unique Tex-Mex eatery where traditional family fare meets

passionate culinary finesse: Vivo Lake Creek.

Establishing Flexibility & Momentum for ResolutionsBy Mighty Human Performance and 4Fitness 4Health

Plenty has been written over the past months regarding the art of setting resolutions for 2012. By now, the initial excitement has diminished and the work continues. In any career there is a stage is called the ‘Implementation Phase.’ If you are still focused on implementing your goals, kudos to you! Studies show by mid February, gym participation declines and the resolutions of the New Year begin to be forgotten. For those still working on goals, here are a few suggested strategies: be flexible, establish momentum and celebrate small wins.

BE FLEXIBLERealize unplanned situations may arise.

Try to avoid wasting energy getting frustrated over situations you cannot control. Instead, use your creativity to find ways to support your fitness goals. For example, if you are unable to complete a 45 minute workout, consider a run/walk for 30 minutes followed

by calisthenics. Research supports a broken down 30 minute workout, in increments of 10 minutes is beneficial.

ESTABLISH MOMENTUMLet’s take Newton’s Law of Physics; an

object in motion remains in motion…It takes less work to keep moving once you have some momentum. Take consistent steps to create a steady rhythm and to build confidence. This will make it easier to stay focused, make progress and work through any unforeseen challenges.

CELEBRATE SMALL WINSTake time to celebrate those small moments

that may seem insignificant but contribute to your fitness goals. Reward yourself for the small accomplishments. Take time to acknowledge, reflect and celebrate. After all, it’s your hard work and you know what you bring to the table when it’s all sweat and all heart.

As always, we wish you balance, harmony, and Longevity. Be well be blessed.

Westside at Buttercup CreekWhat is RSV?

RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus, is a common virus that causes bronchiolitis in infants and cold symptoms in older children and adults. Almost every child has had RSV by the time they are 2 years old.

How is it spread?RSV is spread by contact with an infected

person’s mucous or saliva. The best way to prevent this spread is by frequent hand washing and avoiding touching your face. Most people become sick about 4-6 days after they are exposed. People who are infected with RSV are usually contagious for 3-8 days.

BronchiolitisBronchiolitis is an infection (caused

by RSV and other viruses) that causes inflammation and swelling of the small airways (bronchioles) in the lungs. It occurs mostly in children under one year of age. Usually bronchiolitis begins with a runny nose, mild cough, and sometimes fever. After a day or two the cough worsens and the child

may have more difficulty breathing. Usually days 3-5 of the illness are the worst and improvement begins after that. The runny nose usually improves first, but the cough can last for about 2 weeks.

What to watch forSome children will show signs of increased

difficulty with breathing such as flaring the nostrils, breathing faster, making wheezing noises, or sucking in around the rib cage with each breath. If any of these occur, your child ought to be seen by their pediatrician. The other primary thing to watch for is dehydration. Signs that your child may be dehydrated include decreased wet diapers, dry mouth, and crying without making tears. Call your pediatrician if any of these occur.

What can be done to treat RSV?Unfortunately, there is no specific

treatment for RSV or the other viruses that cause bronchiolitis. One of the most helpful things that can be done is suctioning your

baby’s nose with a bulb after placing a few drops of saline in each nostril to loosen the mucous. This is especially important before bedtime and feeding. Using a humidifier and propping up the head of the bed can also make it easier to breathe while sleeping. Your child will likely take smaller amounts of fluid with each feed and need more frequent feedings. Some children who have wheezing with RSV will improve with breathing treatments and others will not. About 1-2% of infants with RSV do have to be hospitalized every year for oxygen or IV fluids, but most children recover well with close monitoring at home.

Dr. Lee Keegan is a board certified pediatrician.

Dental Tipsfrom the Dark Corner of the Mouth

ROOT CANALSSome of you just cringed after reading the words “Root Canals”,

and now you just cringed again. It’s like when the hyenas said “Mufasa” in The Lion King, and they shutter. Well, root canals have a bad reputation, but the process is actually not that bad. While the procedure is happening, there shouldn’t be any pain. The tooth should be numb. The pain usually leads up to the procedure, and can stick around for a day or so after the procedure while the tooth is healing.

So what is a root canal and why would you have to have one? Each tooth is actually hollow on the inside all the way to the tip of the root. That open end of the root is where the nerve, artery and vein enter the tooth to give it life. If the nerve experiences sufficient trauma, or is exposed by either a break, crack or infection from decay, it will start to die. When this occurs, pain is usually present and is often accompanied by an abscess, or swelling from the infection. The use of antibiotics can help calm things down, but at this point, the only way to solve the problem is to go into the tooth, clean out any decay, then clean out the nerve, artery and vein, all the way to the tip of the root. This is typically done with files that clean everything out and clean and shape the inside walls of the tooth. Once it is cleaned out and disinfected, a filler material is put in the canals called Gutta-Percha. This is a material that comes from the Gutta-Percha plant. Gutta-Percha is biologically inert, which means that it does not readily react within the human body. Once the canals are sealed, the tooth is on its way to recovery. Usually, a tooth that gets a root canal, or root canal therapy, also gets a crown or cap in order to protect it. By taking away the life source of the tooth, it should no longer hurt, but it also becomes more brittle and vulnerable to cracking. A crown protects the tooth from this happening.

SECTION 18. REMOVAL OF DIRT AND TREESEach month a section of this Article will be reviewed to help

homeowners be better informed. The complete set of Bylaws and CCR’s were given to you when you closed on your house, but can also be found at the HOA website which is www.westsidehoa.org.

Section 18. Removal of Dirt and Trees. The digging or removal of dirt from any land is expressly prohibited except as necessary in conjunction with the initial construction and subsequent landscaping or improvements. No trees shall be removed without the prior written approval of Declarant or New Construction Committee, as applicable, except to remove the dead or diseased trees, to provide room for permanent improvements, or to permit -construction of drainage swales.

COMMENT:If you are ever unsure on this one, it would be best to check with

the Modifications Committee or the New Construction Committee. However, it’s my opinion that this applies to native trees that were on the lot when it was sold. If you plant a tree in your yard and then decide that you don’t like it or want to move it, that shouldn’t be a problem. If you have a big native oak tree in the middle of your yard and you decide that you don’t like it, you’re probably out of luck. Enjoy the tree because it will probably be there longer than you.
