NEIGHBORHOOD NEWSLETTER

Call 311 to Report Dangerous Cut-Through Traffic If you have driven through Davenport Ranch during quitting-time traffic, you know that certain roads (namely Canonero, Waymaker Way, Riva Ridge, Carryback, and Westlake Dr.) receive large amounts of cutthrough traffic from Hwy 360. You may also have noticed that these cars do not always abide by our speed limits or obey stop signs. If you see dangerous driving, the city has informed us to call 311 to report this activity. A traffic engineer that presented at a neighborhood traffic meeting last summer advised us that 311 reports are a major way that the city collects data to determine where traffic calming measures are needed. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inform the city that we have a problem in our neighborhood that we would like addressed by regularly reporting these incidences. Anyone can call 311, and we hope many of you will!

Congratulations TO NEW BOARD MEMBERS!

Congratulations to our new Davenport Ranch Neighborhood Association board members, Scott Boyd and John Biegel. Scott and John were elected to three-year terms on the board, and look forward to serving their community through a variety of initiatives and projects.

THE CORE OF THE MATTER

We’ve all been trained to work our “abs” to look thinner and because everyone is supposed to do crunches! But the truth is our core is so critical to our entire body’s health, performance and level of pain and the abs are just a component of a larger, sophisticated piece made up of also the glutes, hips, sides and back muscles (think spinal stabilizers). And a strong core isn’t just so we can look good, but it’s instrumental to our balance, how we move, sit and more. Pain in the back and other body parts could be a warning sign that key stabilizer muscles are imbalanced, inflexible or unconditioned to do their job well. In this modern society where many of us sit for prolonged periods for work, school or in flight, it is crucial that we’re aware of our core’s role in everything we do and that we work hard to maximize its strength now and as we age. A flexible and strong core is necessary for: • Less injury and pain overall • Better day to day life performance (shoveling, carrying groceries, navigating slippery terrain) • Improved athletic performance and efficiency • Balance • Looking tighter • Posture The absolute best way to get a strong core is through full body, functional fitness that trains the core to work well in conjunction with the entire body. Crunches will give you abdominal endurance and some strength in the front region, but planks, Pilates, loaded squats, kettlebells and other exercises introducing instability and imbalance will get the job done much more efficiently and effectively as they work the entire core (and they are likely more fun, too!). If you have questions about how to get on the right track, do some research and work with a trainer who will design a plan that is right for you. To your core health!

INDIAN MEAL MOTHS

Indianmeal moths can be found in dogfood, birdseed, cereals, dried fruit, nuts, powdered milk and candy. Adults are small with grayish wings tipped in copper. Larvae are creamy yellow to yellow-green to pink and often crawl along pantry walls. Spun pupal cases are often found along corners and edges of wall areas. To eliminate a pantry pest problem, the first step is to locate and remove all infested items. Removing infested items is the easy part; finding the infestation is not always so simple. Begin with the oldest food items, usually in the back of the pantry. Inspect everything, including unopened food items since these can also be a source. If you find an infested item, do not stop your inspection, more than one item may be infested. Throw away infested items. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel that you can throw away food, place the infested food in a ziptop plastic bag and place it in the freezer for about 5-7 days or spread the infested food item on a baking sheet and bake at 250 degrees for 4-6 hours to kill any insects. Once all the insects are dead, you can sift the food item or pick out the insects. Of course, you can always just leave the insects in the food and get a little more protein with your meal! It is extremely important to find the source, and not all pantry pest infestations come from the pantry. Check rooms for items such as dried, decorative peppers, dried flowers, potpourri or rice heating packs.

Featured Smile Makeover of the Month

by Dr. Lance Loveless Sometimes a smile makeover can be accomplished by changwww.BridgeViewDental.com

Before

ing only four teeth. This patient was unhappy with her “fake” looking two front crowns. She didn’t like the gray line along the gumline. She also didn’t like how she showed too much of her gums when she smiled, and teeth next to her front teeth were too small and crooked. Even though braces or Invisalign would’ve solved the crooked teeth issue, they would not have addressed her other remaining issues. She decided to do a “laser gum lift”, teeth whitening and 4 porcelain restorations. In only two visits, she had her smile makeover completed. She no longer has to hide her smile, in fact now she smiles even bigger. These types of changes can be life altering. This is why I got into dentistry, to help people. I love what I do, and I love the fact that I can change lives daily through cosmetic dentistry! – Lance E. Loveless, DDS, FAGD, LVIF
