Mayor’s Message Dan Reese

Welcome to June, I hope you all have an opportunity to get some vacation time with friends and family!

North East Independent School District held a special election to determine the Trustee for the District that encompasses Windcrest and our feeder schools (District 2). This was a special election, held to fill the remainder of the term that was left vacant when Trustee Terri

Williams passed away. The regular term for NEISD Trustees is four years. Three candidates filed for the position, Jacqueline Klein, Rhonda Rowland and Tracie Shelton. As many of you may know, Rhonda Rowland is a Windcrest resident! The election was held on Saturday, May 4th. Tracie Shelton was selected by the voters in District 2 to be our representative. We wish her well as she begins her service to NEISD and our students! Thanks to all the candidates for stepping up to show their willingness to serve!

Another way to serve during elections! As many of you know, we did not have early voting or election day voting for the Election that occurred on May 4th. We were told we would have election day voting at Takas Park but that had to be cancelled, in part, due to the lack of election officials. If you have extra time during voting season, you can be a part of the solution. Bexar County Elections Department has need for Election Judges and Election Clerks. If you want to serve as an election official, go to the Bexar County Elections website (https:// www.bexar.org/2182/Apply-as-an-Election-Official) for more information on how to apply.

Auto Inspections/Emissions Changes – In case you have not heard, there are changes happening with automobile inspections and emissions testing. Texas House Bill 3297, signed in August 2023, eliminated the vehicle safety inspection for non-commercial vehicles beginning in January 2025.

Interestingly enough, the fee ($7.50) was not eliminated. For twenty-two months from January 2025 until November 2026, there won’t be any inspections required. Beginning in November 2026, citizens of Bexar will be required to have federally mandated vehicle emissions testing. The cost of the emissions testing has been set at $18.50. There has been some concern voiced by inspection facilities as to if there will be enough emissions facilities ready for the November 2026 date. Stay tuned.

Windcrest Block Coordinator Program. I have mentioned both our Windcrest Volunteer Team and the Windcrest Block Coordinator Program in the past. Each of these programs are designed to help our neighbors. The Volunteer Team serves by supporting neighbors with small tasks that they might not be able to accomplish themselves. The Windcrest Block Coordinator Program was developed to network neighbors to better communicate needs with each other and the City in case there is a greater need. You can contact our Volunteer Coordinator Anita at anita-caulk@windcrest-tx.gov. .

"Bringing Windcrest Businesses Together"

On April 18, 2024, the Windcrest Economic Development Corporation held its Business Fiesta Appreciation Event at the Civic Center. The purpose of this event was to celebrate our local businesses and encourage networking.

The 323rd Army Band Jazz Ensemble performed at the event, which was one of the highlights of the night. A 360 photo booth was also set up to offer attendees an exciting photo experience. Charlie's Kitchen was the caterer for the event and provided guests with a wide variety of fiesta-themed bites.

Over 70 people attended the event, and 23 businesses were represented at the gathering.

The Master of Ceremonies, Tanya Aksamentova, kept everything running smoothly and briefly discussed the WEDC's purpose before introducing the elected officials and WEDC Board Members.

Windcrest Economic Development Director, Mario Hernandez, provided attendees with an overview of the ICP/ Rackspace project.

Local businesses contributed 15 door prizes for this event, all of which were awarded to lucky participants. Networking can benefit your business by building professional connections, exploring novel concepts, and gaining an edge in your field.

FIRE DEPARTMENT News

Swimming season has officially washed ashore!

Before splishing and splashing, remember to swim in sync with the following safety tips:

1. Never leave children unattended when they are in or around water. Always remain in close proximity to them and be sure to avoid any distractions.

2. Install an appropriate barrier, such as a fence, to prevent children from accessing the pool area without adult supervision.

3. Employ flotation devices and life jackets for young or inexperienced swimmers. Keep extras nearby in case of emergencies.

4. Ensure every member of your family learns how to swim so they can achieve the basic skills of water competency, e.g., breathing properly and staying afloat.

5. Know what to do in case of an emergency, including how to safely assist someone in trouble in the water, calling for help, and performing CPR.

By staying afloat on pool safety, we can create a sea of waterful times where fun and safety go hand in hand. So, dive in and always keep safety at shore!

POLICE DEPARTMENT NEWS

By Jim Cole, Police Chief

If May was any indication of how things are going to be for the remainder of 2024, June is going to be super busy! We had a wonderful Police week in May and met so many in our community who we are proud to serve. It was a humbling reminder to honor the fallen officers of Windcrest at our Police Memorial Ceremony on May 15.

I am so grateful for the honor I received in May for my 5 years of service to Windcrest. Our team continues to grow in both number and knowledge! Some of the WPD police family attended a conference, an instructor’s course and more!

Don’t forget - we do house checks! If you are going out of town, come to the station and fill out a house check form. We also have applications for Citizen’s Patrol - we would love to have you!

A Message From Fire Inspector Zelenak

This month I want to talk about Grilling Safety. There’s nothing like outdoor grilling, it’s one of the most popular ways to cook food. However, a grill placed too close to anything that can burn is a fire hazard since it can be very hot, causing burn injuries. Follow these simple tips and you will be on the way to safe grilling:

„ Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors.

„ The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.

„ Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill area.

„ Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grill and in trays below the grill.

„ Never leave your grill unattended.

„ Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it.

CHARCOAL GRILLS

„ If you use a starter fluid, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the fire.

„ Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources.

„ When you are finished grilling. Let the coals completely cool before disposing in a metal container.

PROPANE GRILLS

„ Check the propane cylinder hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year.

„ If you smell gas while grilling, immediately get away from the grill and call the Fire Department, DO NOT MOVE THE GRILL!

„ If the flame goes out while grilling, turn off the grill and propane and wait at least 5 minutes before re-lighting it.

I hope these tips will help you have a safe and enjoyable grilling experience this summer.

GARDEN CLUB

By: Kathleen Mulkey

Windcrest Garden Club has made several historic changes to our meetings and officers. We welcome our new Vice President, John Miranda to our ranks. Also, our monthly meetings will be held on the first Tuesday of each month. We are creating topics for each meeting from September through May, at this time. We invite all to join our club which starts with a potluck luncheon on the first Tuesday, September 3, at 11:30 a.m.

The annual Spring Field Trip to “Do Re Mi” Lavender Farm took place on April 10. Eighteen members carpooled to Moore, Texas - an hour south of San Antonio. Members were given a tour of the farm and allowed to pick their own bunch of lavender. They enjoyed a quiche meal and tea made from home grown lavender and honey. The farm was built using all recycled material. Check it out!!

Again, thank you for supporting the plant sale. It was one of the most profitable in our history.

Yard award winners for May and June will be published in July’s newsletter.

Caring for Loved Ones with Dementia

Caring for a loved one with dementia is challenging but manageable with the right strategies and support. Here are key tips to help family members provide compassionate and effective care.

Educate Yourself

Understanding dementia's stages, symptoms, and behaviors is crucial. Knowledge helps anticipate changes and manage the condition effectively. Utilize resources from organizations like the Alzheimer’s Association.

Create a Supportive Environment

Ensure the home is safe and clutter-free. Consistent routines and familiar surroundings reduce confusion and anxiety.

Communicate Effectively

• Speak Clearly: Use simple sentences and a gentle tone.

• Be Patient: Allow time for responses without interrupting.

• Non-Verbal Cues: Pay attention to body language.

• Stay Positive: Maintain a calm and positive attitude.

• Engage in Activities

• Keep your loved one engaged with activities they enjoy, tailored to their abilities:

Memory Games: Stimulate the brain with simple puzzles.

• Music and Art: Enjoy listening to music or creating art.

• Physical Activity: Encourage gentle exercises like walking.

• Prioritize Health and Nutrition

• Ensure a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Regular medical check-ups are essential.

Manage Stress and Behavior

• Stay Calm: Respond to difficult behavior with patience.

• Identify Triggers: Avoid situations that cause distress.

• Seek Help: Consult professionals for severe behavior issues.

• Take Care of Yourself

• Avoid caregiver burnout by taking care of your own health:

Seek Support: Join caregiver support groups.

• Take Breaks: Use respite care to recharge.

• Accept Help: Ask family and friends for assistance.

• Plan for the Future

• Plan ahead for changing care needs. Consider legal and financial planning, and discuss long-term care options.

Conclusion

Supporting a family member with dementia requires patience, understanding, and planning. Educate yourself, create a safe environment, communicate effectively, and engage in meaningful activities. Take care of your own health and seek support. With the right approach, you can enhance your loved one’s quality of life and navigate dementia care together.

CLUB

Did you know: The Windcrest Women's Club was founded in 1960 (5 years before establishment as a City). Our goal has always been to make Windcrest a strong community through hands-on community involvement: everything from being Welcome Wagon Ladies to developing and hosting the City's "Christmas Light -Up" program.

As hosts, we are involved from promoting the theme to finding non-resident Judges to the Winner's Dinner in January. This event is now recognized as one of America's best free residential light-up events. As a 501,3c non-profit, we provide hands-on support to the 12 public schools, K-12, which serve our children as well as emergent community needs.

Our primary fund-raising event is the "Old Bag Luncheon" in May of each year. Along the way we've had a lot of fun! Join the fun or renew your membership today! Our next meeting is on Wednesday, 22 August at 10a.m. at the Civic Center.

History of Father's Day

Sonora Dodd, of Washington, was one of the first people who had the idea of a “Father’s Day.” She thought of the idea for Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. Sonora wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. Smart, who was a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state.

After Sonora became an adult she realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man. Sonora’s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910. Even before Dodd, however, the idea of observing a day in honor of fathers was promoted. Dr. Robert Webb conducted what is believed as the first Father’s Day service at the Central Church of Fairmont, West Virginia in 1908. It was Dodd’s efforts, however, that eventually led to a national observance.

President Calvin Coolidge, in 1924, supported the idea of a national Father’s Day. Then in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father’s Day.

Plants for the Forgetful Gardener

By Sarah Gorton, SAWS Intern

I was once a helicopter plant mom, but with time I've regressed to a negligent, forgetful gardener.

I can pass my plants every day and know they need watering. But until they are flopped over sideways, begging for water, I actually forget to water them. And while I've killed many a plant, there are a handful that scoffed at my forgetfulness and beat the odds.

is is a list of true survivors.

Blackfoot daisy and damianita are cute groundcover wildflowers that absolutely despise supplemental water. Some parts of downtown and south San Antonio can't even support either flower because the soil is too heavy. You can find these tiny flowers sprouting up all over the sides of the highway traveling on U.S. Highway 281 north of Loop 1604.

It is possible to have a healthy, robust landscape that only requires minimal maintenance. And being forgetful can work to your advantage — if you pick the right plants.

One much more traditional plant for the xeric "I'm-sick-of-mowing-the-lawn" person are yuccas, especially red yuccas Red yucca in particular is a hummingbird magnet, but any agaves are perfect for the anti-waterer. ey come in all shapes and sizes so don't let your disdain for the stereotypical Arizona yard keep you from browsing them at a local nursery.

Straggler daisy or horseherb is my personal favorite native because it grows so easily in San Antonio, people have it in their yards without even trying. Many think it's a weed, but it's actually a nice turf supplement that thrives in shade and can handle some foot traffic.

Texas sedge makes for a neat turf alternative. It's a bit unusual because it grows in clumps that fill in until you can't see individual plants, and the grass grows long and eventually flops over. It's a great option if you want to have that 'keeping up with the Joneses' green lawn look, but without the heavy duty watering requirement.

Of the plants listed above, all but the straggler daisy and Texas sedge are WaterSaver Landscape Coupon-eligible plants. If you haven't applied for the WaterSaver Landscape Coupon because you're worried you don't have a green thumb, consider giving these low maintenance plants a shot. ey'll need some water to get established, but beyond that they'll thrive despite your negligence!

Milkweed, especially antelope horn milkweed, grows best when left alone. Milkweed isn't as noticeable as wildflowers, but they're pretty well-distributed across San Antonio. In addition to being easy to grow, they're essential for monarch butterflies to complete their life cycle. Add some of this to your yard and you're bound to be a good home for some monarch larvae.

It is possible to have a healthy, robust landscape that only requires minimal maintenance. And being forgetful can work to your advantage — if you pick the right plants.

General Summer Safety Concerns

Hot weather can make anyone feel uncomfortable, and your dog is no exception. Here are some safety concerns for responsible dog owners:

• Never leave your dog unattended in direct sunlight. Heatstroke can occur and lead to brain damage or death. Signs of heatstroke are panting, drooling, rapid pulse and fever. Immediately immerse the dog in cool water and seek emergency veterinary assistance.

• Never leave your dog unattended in a hot, parked car. When it's only 80 degrees outside, the inside of a car can heat up to more than 120 degrees in just minutes. Leaving the windows partially rolled down will not help. Your dog is susceptible to heat stroke and possible death in these conditions.

• Always make sure your dog has access to fresh water. Prevent dehydration by providing your dog with unrestricted access to fresh and cool water both indoors and outside. Ice cubes and frozen chicken or beef broth encourage your dog to take in more fluids and help keep it cool. You can also feed your dog wet dog food during the summer to increase its fluid intake.

• Try to avoid strenuous exercise with your dog on extremely hot days and refrain from physical activity when the sun's heat is most intense. Be careful walking your dog. When it’s hot outside, it’s a good idea to walk your dog either in the morning or in the evening, when temperatures are lower. Not only is it possible for you and your dog to become hot and dehydrated, the hot concrete can burn your dog’s sensitive paws. Press your hand onto surfaces for 30 seconds to test them before allowing your dog to walk on them. If it is painful for you, it will be painful for your dog.

• Ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, flies, and other insects are at their peak during the summer months. Talk to your veterinarian about appropriate protection.

• Standing water, such as puddles, can also be dangerous for dogs to drink due to the presence of antifreeze or other chemicals. Provide your dog with fresh water to drink.

• White, light-colored, and thinly coated dogs have an increased risk of sunburn. Sunburn causes pain, itching, peeling, and other problems.

See you at the 4th of July parade!!!!

ANIMAL CARE & CONTROL

Updates to the Animal Care & Control Webpage are below:

It is recommended that residents do not attempt to capture dogs at large, but to call WPD dispatch (210-655-2666) and an Animal Control Officer, Code Enforcement Agent, or Police Officer will respond and attempt to capture the animal. This is for public safety reasons in the event that the dog runs in the road or if the dog attempts to bite. If you pick up a dog in Windcrest, someone WILL respond and make attempts to locate the owner of the dog.

If your pet is lost, please check our Facebook page and this webpage, where we post all animals that have been picked up. If we have your pet, please call us so we can make arrangements for you to retrieve them. Please microchip your pet and keep your information updated in the event that he or she gets lost for a fast retrieval! For a lost pet, bring a picture and other important information to the City of Windcrest Police Department or call 210-655-2666 to have an Animal Control officer dispatched to take the report. To claim your found pet, you will need to provide proof of ownership and will be responsible for any fines and fees as outlined in our Animal Code of Ordinances.

All found pets become adoptable after 7 business days. Every animal call will be responded to!

Every animal call will be given a case number and addressed!

Watch our Facebook page and the community bulletin board at City Hall to see if we have posted any lost or found pets. Pets are posted within 24 hours of pickup.

LAWN MAINTENANCE

Please be a responsible neighbor and keep up with the maintenance of your lawn. Help keep the neighborhood looking great by maintaining your yard with weekly mowing and trimming.

Windcrest Elementary School News

The Terrell Heights Garden Club did a fall and spring cleanup at the Takas Park Windy Hollow Pond Butterfly Garden. They worked with Windcrest Elementary School 5th Grade Science Teacher, Mittie Martin, and provided lady bugs, butterflies, cages, and colored life cycle brochures for a release of these pollinators into the Garden.

12 pink ladies and 12 monarchs along with 500 lady bugs were released by the students into the butterfly Garden on May 2nd. As Ms. Martin explained, “it was such an educational experience for [her] 5th graders that [she] would like to do again next year.”
