This will be the last month of the foreign films for the season. The movies picked are English, Algerian, and Danish.
Tuesday April 8
Please note the days are different for April.
On Tuesday, April 8th will be a film from London. The hall porter is sent upstairs to repair a blocked toilet and finds the source of the problem. Come see this splendid film , which incorporates a thriller and a love story with much energy. You will leave knowing money can buy anything including happiness. Wednesday, April 16th there will be (Thank God for Sunday). As Americans we rarely get a chance to see and understand the various cultures that populate this planet that we all share. Seeing Foreign Language films benefits us often by seeing the aspects of society that we find strange. In 1974 France passed a law that enabled the families of their immigrant workers to join them. But not always do the fathers adapt to the new ways, sometimes they cling on to the past. You will see that mother in laws are sometimes considered evil to daughter in laws in other countries as well! Hopefully no one here that has issue! Wednesday, April 23rd ends the films for the season. Please note there will be only one showing for this film. It is 2 hours and 17 minutes long. This historical drama is about an ordinary man who wins a queen’s heart. Although they are truly in love, it seems that their love is more in what they are doing for the country than each other at times. This is a must see movie from 2012, for there is nothing like a DANE.

Living a Healthy Lifestyle by Tiffany De Souza, Director of Fitness & Spa
As challenging as people may think it is to lead a healthy lifestyle every day, you would be surprised at just how easy it is. So many people think that staying healthy involves a lot of work, but staying fit is actually easier than being lazy and unhealthy. You will be surprised by how easy it can be! It is important to note that living a healthy lifestyle is not just about eating the right foods and exercising. If you want to be truly fit, you need to take everything you do into consideration. This includes easing stress: making smart choices; and also listing to your body. Everywhere we look, we’re being bombarded by messaging, ordering us to get healthier: Shape up! Eat better! Exercise more! Lose weight! And after of those commercials, most of us are confused about what we really need to in order to adopt that healthy lifestyle. A nutritious, balanced diet is your first step. Lots of scientists and doctors spent a lot of time and effort putting together the food pyramid. Follow it. Getting a good balance of vitamins and nutrients is what your body needs to be healthy and fight off disease. Make sure you learn which foods are best for absorption of those vitamins and minerals and then choose your diet full of them!
don’t think that you need to work ‘til exhaustion for the workout to be beneficial. If you hope for stronger muscles, you need to rest them after a hard workout. Your muscles don’t grow while you are working them and tearing them down during exercise, but only through rest. Find exercise, activities and hobbies you enjoy doing. The time you spend simply being happy is invaluable. When
exercising, give your whole body a workout. Your entire body – internally and externally-requires good workouts to keep you healthy. There are multiple steps to a good workout, including strength, endurance and cardiovascular training. It seems like a lot but there are ways that you can work all of that into a single 30 minutes workout just three times w week. Exercise because you want to stay healthy. Next is sleep! With our busy lifestyles and family lives, we are not getting the rest we need do desperately. Your sleep time is important time for the body to fix the damage that was done the previous day. The time you spend sleeping is the time the body has to recharge its batteries. For better healthy, eight hours of sleep per night is
Drinks lots of water. The recommended amount for the best possible hydration is to drink eight glasses of water that are eight ounces or more daily. Proper hydration is important for so much more than just good healthy. Proper
needed for the average adult. There are lots of ways to stay healthy and fit. Eating a balanced diet, working out regularly and smartly. There is more to it than eating a bunch of healthy food and going on daily runs. Staying healthy means attending to your whole body both physically and mentally for the rest of you life!
hydration also helps you fight off disease. Water is required for many body functions. The human body, to a large degree, is made of water. Because the are no calories in water, replacing tea, soda, juices, and even alcohol with water will reduce your total calorie count for the day. When you drink the right amount of cold water daily you can lose as much as five pounds over the course of water a year whether you cut out the others drinks or not. It is no secret that you need regular exercise. But

Security Updates by Mark Hall, Director of Security
SPEEDS ARE DOWN
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our residents for reducing their speed within the community. We have realized a 20% reduction in speeds under 40 mph and a 45% reduction in speeds 40mph and over. This is due to all of you making a concerted effort to be aware of your speed and reduce it to create a safe community for all of us to live and work. We can still improve on these numbers. I would encourage all of you to remind your family members, friends, guests and vendors that our traffic rules are photo enforced. The Traffic Hawk is being deployed on a daily basis throughout the community, day and night. I look forward to a continued reduction in our ongoing effort to make our community as safe as possible.
I have received numerous complaints about unsafe golf cart operation at the Verdun and Verde cuts. The complaints consist of excessive speed, travelling in the wrong lane and not stopping at the STOP signs. I am confident, with a little effort we can greatly reduce these issues and be respectful of our fellow cart drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. The alternative to self-correction is to install traffic calming measures. These mea s u r e s c ou l d i nc l ude l ane delineators, a median/curb installed in the center of the cart path or enforcement measures. None of this will be necessary with a little effort and consideration on all of our parts. Thank you for your time and attention to this very important safety issue. GOLF CART SAFETY
