April 2012 NEWS FOR THE RESIDENTS OF LAKELINE RANCH Volume 4, Issue 4

Hello Lakeline Ranch,Here is hoping the old adage is true. We did get some rain

in March and temperatures warmed in spring like fashion. Soon the lawnmowers will be heard on weekend mornings and the yards will start showing colors. I love this time of the year.

This is the time of year when a lot of neighbors will want to start on home and yard improvement projects. Please be sure to submit a request to the architectural control committee for approval before making physical changes to the appearance of your yards. This is an easy process and the forms can be obtained from Goodwin Management.

Carl Gamble of Goodwin Management can be reached with questions at 512-431-2400. Thank you and have a great Spring!

Lakeline Ranch ReaderIt’s Bambi!

He’s tiny, he’s cuddly, he’s cute, and he seems so alone. He’s probably an orphan, like Bambi! You just

have to pick him up and take care of him – or at least get a closer look.

But he’s not alone. Bambi’s mother is not far away, and a deer that would otherwise

run from a human or a dog will defend her baby if she senses danger. Now is the time to remind your children and neighbors to be deer-smart for the deer’s

safety and your own.IF YOU FIND A FAWN, LEAVE IT

ALONE. Most white-tail deer fawns are born

in May and June in central Texas, but they start to appear as soon as late

April. For the first three to four weeks of their l ives, the fawns are too small to follow their mothers, and it is normal for a doe to leave a fawn a lone for several hours at a time. If you find a fawn, do move it or try to rescue it. Most fawns are not orphaned or abandoned. Unless the fawn is obviously cold, sick or in an unsafe area, it should be left alone. If you think the fawn is in danger, call Austin Wi ld l i f e Rescue a t

472-9453 (472-WILD).

REMIND CHILDREN TO STAY AWAY FROM THE DEER. Baby animals naturally draw the attention of curious

children. Fawning season in central Texas provides a unique opportunity to teach your children about cycles of life and kindness to animals. Educate your children about the fawning season. Explain to them that the fawns are not abandoned. Teach them that they should stay away from the fawns because the mother is nearby, she will take care of the baby, and the fawn’s best chance of survival depends on its being left alone.

RESTRAIN YOUR DOGS. Fawns also draw the attention of curious dogs. Walk your

dogs on leash. Standard leashes are better than retractable leashes at this time of year in deer country. Off-leash and unrestrained dogs are a primary cause of conflicts with deer.

USE YOUR DEER DETERRENTS. If you do not want fawns around your property, now is the

time to refresh or activate your deer repellents. Does will not leave fawns in an obviously hostile environment. Mend your fences if you do not like deer.

The fawning season provides an opportunity to experience first-hand the miracle of the cycles of wildlife and appreciate the wildlife we have living among us. DeerAustin is a group of Austin neighbors and animal lovers who are committed to living compatibly with urban wildlife and especially to protecting and preserving Austin’s urban deer herds. Visit us at www.deeraustin.org.

Austin is a city that values its urban wildlife. The opportunity to interact with deer is a part of what makes Austin a special place to live. Please be deer-smart this spring, enjoy the wildlife, and Keep Austin Deered!

Austin Wildlife Rescue, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization that rehabilitates and releases orphaned, sick or injured animals and educates the public how to co-exist with

wildlife. Learn more or volunteer at www.austinwildliferescue.org.

Fit & Fun: Health Tips for You &Your ChildrenBy: Concentra Urgent Care

Getting fit and staying fit can be a fun process. That’s true for individuals, and it’s especially true for families. Fitness is an important topic, especially when your daily routine involves a lot of sitting, whether at work, at school, or at home in front of a computer or TV screen. The habits that we learn as children are often the habits we carry into adulthood. As parents, we can help our children build healthy habits and find new, fun ways to motivate ourselves and our children to get active.

BELOW ARE SOME IDEAS FORGETTING OFF THE COUCH & HAVING

SOME FUN WHILE GETTING FIT:

• Take an active vacation: It’s tempting every day to think of your vacation as a time to sit and relax. But isn’t that what your body does everyday? Instead, you

can plan a trip that includes hiking, biking, skiing, and other activities that the whole family can do together.

• Visit a local park: It doesn’t have to take a whole day, but you could spend a few hours playing at a park. Take a ball (football or soccer), a Frisbee, or a hacky sack, and play. You can invite some friends to join you, too. And remember: It’s not just about the kids moving around – it’s your time, too!

• Hold a block party: Call your neighbors, and block off the closest cul-de-sac for a get together that includes fun and active games. From freeze tag and relay races to hide-and-seek and kickball, there are hundreds of activities to choose from that are fun for everyone.

• Go for a hike: Find a local area where

you and your family can go and hike for a few miles. Spend time outdoors, and enjoy what nature has to offer while you all get fit!For more ideas about fun activities,

visit the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance’s Web site at: www.aahperd.com.

THE GOAL: BE INSTRUMENTAL IN ENCOURAGING CHILDREN TO DEVELOP

THE GOOD HABIT OF MOVING THROUGH SPACE, NURTURING THEIR PHYSICAL

POWER, & GETTING FIT.

For more information about healthy activit ies , contact your health care provider or your Concentra health specialist.
