CORNERS

PUBLISHED BY IKARE PUBLISHING INC WWWIKAREPUBLISHINGCOM 813-991-7843

At our March 16th Board meeting the

Charleston Corners POA failed to have

a quorum of its Board members present

so no official meeting could be held

Unfortunately Don Harwig the current

POA President has had to step down

from that position due to a medical

condition that hospitalized him at the

end of February Gary Phillips the

current Vice President has graciously

agreed to take on the position of

President for the POA and Don has

agreed to assume the position of Vice

President If these changes are

agreeable to the Board of Directors they

will be ratified at the April 20th

meeting

A drive through our community saw

many residents actively involved in

improving the appearance of the

exterior of their property Some were

seen replacing sod that had deteriorated

during the winter dry season and others

were cleaning out dead bushes and

replanting flower beds so their homes

will look better A number of residents

were cited for deteriorated wood fences

and fences with extensive mold and

mildew We hope to see these home

owners taking corrective action soon so

the existing conditions do not degrade

the appearance of their homes and the

neighborhood

Unfortunately we are still finding cars

and trucks being parked on the lawns

and across sidewalks If you are such an

offender please take corrective steps as

your actions degrade the appearance of

your neighborhood and could cause

someone to be injured trying to walk

along the sidewalk and be forced into

the street around a parked vehicle

There were also a number of residents

that were notified to take steps to

remedy the discolored conditions of the

exteriors of their houses That can be

done in many cases by spraying the

house to remove mold and mildew

while other more extensive actions may

require the resident to repaint the

exterior of their homes

The contract to upgrade the

appearances of the major entry signs

into our Community has been awarded

and we anticipate work to be started at

the beginning of April The repairs

have also been done to the tennis courts

so now both courts are playable

In the event residents are unaware of

the Clubhouse security camera system

this notice is to advise you that every

event that takes place in the clubhouse

is being taped so that a record will be

available in the event we need to see

when and if furniture or property are

being misused or damaged In many

incidents in the past the resident who

rented the Clubhouse disavowed any

responsibility for damages that were

found This includes moving trees or

hanging items on them or on the walls

There are rules that users have to sign

and agree to abide by when renting the

clubhouse yet numerous violations are

discovered the next day Now these

recorded security camera viewings will

be proof positive that the user must pay

for damages or lose their privileges to

use the clubhouse

All of the members of the Board want

to wish that each and every one of our

residents will be able to have a very

enjoyable Spring time this year and that

they will be able to enjoy our

swimming pool and other amenities

Easter is on its way Along with Peter

Cottontail you and your kids will encounter

more than your share of sugar-packed

jellybeans malted milk balls cream-filled

chocolate eggs and life-size chocolate

bunnies The common Easter basket is filled

to the brim with pastel-colored candy eggs

bunnies lambs and more but while

celebrating with sweets is fine in

moderation eating a pound of chocolate

eggs in a matter of days doesnt fall under

that definition

This year why not load your baskets and

office candy jars with some alternative

treats Teach your children grandkids

friends and co-workers that you can enjoy

this spring holiday basket and all without

overindulging in sugar And when you do

choose to treat yourself be conscious of

your choices Instead of eating on a whim

from a bottomless basket plan your treats

each day and track your calories Dont

throw away your wrappers when youre

finished keeping them in sight will become

a visual reminder of how much youve

already eaten and youll be less likely to

keep reaching into that basket without

thinking first

Here are some more ideas that will inspire

you to think outside the basket and still have

fun this Easter

Egg-xactly Those hard-boiled decorated Easter eggs

are a healthful addition to any basket Dont

let all that protein go to waste Peel and eat

your dyed eggs plain with or without the

yolk Consider slicing them onto a salad

including them in a wrap or pita or making

them into egg salad with light mayonnaise

for a tasty springtime sandwich

Plastic eggs are a great way to add a

celebratory twist to your basket but be

careful how you stuff them Tuck sugar-free

gum small boxes of raisins or miniature

packets of peanuts into the colorful eggs

for a healthy twist For kids fill the eggs

with age-appropriate prizes such as beaded

jewelry lip balm small toys or other fun

tokens Coins and small bills make for

exciting treasure as well

Beyond Bunny Carrots For a festive look pack orange crackers

(like cheddar Goldfish made with whole

grains) or dried apricots into a triangle

pastry bag Tie some green ribbon or raffia

to the top and you have a healthy carrot-

shaped goodie You can even take a black

permanent marker and draw a carrot onto

the outside of the plastic bag to create a

more distinguished look

Create cute and tasty carrot-

shaped homemade granola bars by baking

your recipe in a pan and then cutting your

masterpiece into lengthy triangles Wrap

them in baggies to pop into baskets You

can even add a few drops of orange food

dye to make your carrots more colorful

Vegetables arenrsquot the only thing your little

bunnies should be eating this Easter Dried

fruit is a great way to meet your daily fruit

quota For ease purchase it at the store but

be sure to read ingredients labels and avoid

items with added sugar You can also use a

dehydrator at home to make your own

dried fruit Try apricots mangos apples

banana slices cherries and pear slices

When you dry your fruit at home you

donrsquot have to add any sugar and it tastes

great It can also be a fun project for kids to

do with you

Hop to Health Who says an Easter basket should only

contain edible surprises You can include

creative items that promote movement and

aerobic activity too A jump rope packs

easily into a grass-filled basket and can be

used year-round Hop to heart health with

this great calorie burning muscle-building

and fun activity Get a rope long enough

and three or four people can partake

double-dutch style

Rev up a game of hopscotch outside by

packing a box of sidewalk chalk into

your childrsquos basket Itrsquos a simple way to get

them outside and active and to teach them

to play games without cords and

controllers Enrich their minds and bodies

with this idea In addition dont forget

about balls which are inexpensive and can

entice kids of all ages to play outdoors

Brain Treats Books are a great non-food gift for a loved

one of any age Slip the latest teen fiction

series a copy of the traditional Easter

Bunny tales or the most recent non-fiction

best seller

Other ways to pop some fun into your gifts

baskets are to add playing cards and a small

book of card games This addition can

provide good old-fashioned family fun

Small and portable travel games are always

useful as are packets of crossword or math

puzzles Pair these gifts with sets of colored

pens or pencils and itrsquoll be a sure hit

Reach your 10000 Steps Increase your activity on Easter morning

and help your family reach the

recommended goal of 10000 steps a

day by encouraging additional activity to

help offset some of the candy and sweets

youll be eating Hide your healthy Easter

baskets in a discrete spot in the house or

yard and put together a scavenger hunt to

lead your kids and friends to them with

multiple clues and stops At each station

leave a physical activity assignment (have

your scavengers perform jumping jacks

frog leaps push-ups or other silly tasks)

along with the clue for the next location on

the hunt Make sure to follow the group

around as they search to help get your steps

in too

Enjoy your sweet treats in moderation and

get creative to include some healthier items

in your celebration Encouraging your

children friends and family members to

find alternate ways to celebrate Easter that

dont always involve

candy can keep

your traditions

alive and set a

positive

example for

health living

Happy Easter
