NEWS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF LAKELINE RANCH

Hello Lakeline Ranch,

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for making LLR such a nice place to live. I notice that the neighborhood always looks clean and beautiful and this is in large part due to the care and pride we all have in our community. Normally crime is not an issue for us in LLR but the fact that we feel so secure can lead to lax attitudes about safety and security concerning our families, homes, and those of our neighbors. Please exercise awareness of what is going on in the neighborhood. Remind your children never to answer the door for a stranger. Note the things that you notice going on in the community that are out of the ordinary and if something seems amiss please call the police. We all have to watch out for each other. Spring will be here soon and I look forward to seeing families over at the pool enjoying themselves or folks out for a walk or bike ride. Be safe out there and thanks again for keeping Lakeline Ranch a great place to live!

St. Patrick’s Day FACTS

• St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, although he was born in Britain, around 385AD. His parents Calpurnius and Conchessa were Roman citizens living in either Scotland or Wales, according to different versions of his story. • As a boy of 14 he was captured and taken to Ireland where he spent six years in slavery herding sheep. He returned to Ireland in his 30s as a missionary among the Celtic pagans. • Legend has it that he used the native shamrock as a symbol of the holy trinity when preaching and brought the Latin alphabet to Ireland. • Miracles attributed to him include the driving of serpents out of Ireland. However, evidence suggests post-glacial Ireland never had any snakes in the first place. • Wearing green, eating green food and even drinking green beer, is said to commemorate St Patrick’s use of the shamrock - although blue was the original colour of his vestments. • St Patrick was said to have proclaimed that everyone should have a drop of the “hard stuff” on his feast day after chastising an innkeeper who served a short measure of whiskey. In the custom known as “drowning the shamrock”, the shamrock that has been worn on a lapel or hat is put in the last drink of the evening. • Popular Irish toasts on St Patrick’s Day, include: may the roof above us never fall in, and may we friends beneath it never fall out. • St. Patrick’s Day was first celebrated in America in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1737. Around 34 million modern Americans claim Irish ancestry. • It is believed that St Patrick died on March 17 in 461AD. It is a national holiday in Ireland, and on the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean, which was founded by Irish refugees. It is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a provincial holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland. • Dublin has a parade that attracts hundreds of thousands of people, while in Chicago the river is dyed green for a few hours. The biggest parade is normally held in New York, while the largest celebration in the southern hemisphere is in Sydney, Australia.

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 Antoniostyle 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 slowcooked 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.

A Focus On Body Mass Index KNOWING YOUR NUMBERS MEANS KNOWING YOUR RISK

By: Concentra Urgent Care

Overweight and obese refer to ranges of weight that are considered unhealthy for a given height. Being overweight can lead to obesity, and obesity is defined as having too much body fat. Excess fat, especially around your waist, may put a strain on your heart and can lead to serious health problems such as: Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, varicose veins, and other chronic conditions. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number calculated using your weight and height. Knowing your BMI is one simple way to determine if your weight is putting you at risk for health problems. HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR BMI

JOIN US FOR GOLF AND A GREAT CAUSE!

Colin’s Hope envisions a world where children do not drown

Your BMI estimates how much you should weigh based on your height.

Here’s how to calculate it: • Multiply your weight in pounds by 703. • Divide that answer by your height in inches. • Divide that answer by your height in inches again. HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE

You can easily measure your own your waist circumference to determine if you are storing too much body fat in your abdomen: • Place a cloth measuring tape around your bare abdomen just above your hip bones (do not use your belly button as a guide). • Make sure the tape is horizontal all the way around, and snug (but not pulling your skin in). • Breath normally, and read the measurement. BMI CATEGORY FOR ADULTS Below 18.5........................ Underweight 18.5 - 24.9................................ Healthy 25.0 - 29.9.......................... Overweight Over 30.......................................Obese

Women with a waist measurement of more than 35 inches or men with a waist measurement of more than 40 inches may have a higher risk for developing diabetes or heart disease. Lowering your BMI or waist circumference by just a small amount may lower your risk significantly. You can decrease these numbers by exercising regularly and eating a healthy diet. For more information about BMI or waist circumference, contact your health care provider or visit the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute at www.nhlbisupport.com
