TWIN CREEKS TRIBUNE

MARCH 2015

Twin Creeks Neighborhood Watch (TCNW) Cedar Park Police recently conducted a speed study in our neighborhood. They found the average speed in the monitored areas to be within 2mph of the posted speed limit; however, they did see enough cars exceeding the posted limit to send directed patrol. There will be more presence with an emphasis on speeding. Higher priority calls will take precedence over a patrol car in Twin Creeks looking for speeding; however, you should see a stronger police presence in the neighborhood focusing on speeders. Remember posted speeds are as follows: 35 on Twin Creeks Club Drive 30 on Twin Creeks Club Drive as you approach the club 25 on Grand Oaks Loop 25 on all other streets within Twin Creeks.

VOLUME 8, ISSUE 3

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 don’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.

FITNESSCORNER

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!
