LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT On behalf of the TPOA Board of Directors, I’d like to extend a special thanks and farewell to Barrett and Ashleigh Pepper, who you probably know served as Park Caretakers for the last three and a half years. They were truly outstanding in that role. Not only were they very productive, organized and efficient, they always went above and beyond, and always did it with a smile and without complaint. They were welcoming and helpful to park guests, but they were firm when they needed to be with those who may not have been abiding by park rules or were causing trouble of some kind. They were largely responsible for the development and implementation of the successful pool and park monitor programs, and they did a great job of managing personnel in the pool and park, and maximizing their effectiveness while staying within budget. While the Peppers enjoyed the job, it had its share of challenges that come with being on-site caretakers for a facility that is open about 16 hours a day, seven days a week. A knock on the door was a regular occurrence whether they were sitting down to a family dinner or putting their young sons to bed, and vacation time was a rare occurrence. So while we will miss the Peppers, we wish them all the best in their new “normal” life! At the time of this writing, we have asked residents to submit their names or the names of anybody who they know who might be interested in the Park Caretaker position, and we’re glad to see some great candidates expressing interest. We will be interviewing candidates and hopefully we will be announcing the new Park Caretaker(s) later this month. We are also thankful to Sarah Thibodeaux who stepped up and offered to cover the position on an interim basis. Sarah was the ideal person for this role given that she has served as a Pool Monitor, Park Monitor, and has assisted the Peppers and park office staff in various other functions and administrative roles. With regard to park security, we are pleased that our expanded and enhanced security camera system is now in place and is operational. The system includes 14 new high-definition cameras that have infrared night-vision capabilities along with a state-of-the-art monitoring and digital recording system. This brings our total number of security cameras in the park to 23. Hopefully there won’t be too much of a need to use them in relation to problem issues, but it’s good they’re there should the need arise. Work on the clubhouse design continues, and we had great response to the floor plan that was presented at the August 1 community board meeting was very well received. We look forward to presenting a much more thorough design and cost to the community very soon so that it can be voted on to determine whether or not we proceed with the project. Lastly, on the heels of Timberwood Park’s 40th anniversary came the passing of its legendary developer, G.G. Gale. It was his vision and hard work that not only got Timberwood Park started, but helped make it the amazing community that it is today. And of course, anybody who spent any time in San Antonio in the last 40 years probably heard his frequent radio ads promoting Timberwood Park. On behalf of the TPOA Board, I’d like to extend my condolences to G.G.’s family and many friends. Thanks for your time, and I’ll see you around the neighborhood. Greg Matula TPOA Board President
Next Board Meeting All Meetings are held at 7:00 p.m. at the Clubhouse at the Park. October 3, 2017

Borgfeld Expansion Update According to Bexar County officials, the current Borgfeld Road construction between Timberline and Blanco Road is currently well ahead of schedule!

The new connection from Sherwood Forest to Borgfeld Drive is anticipated to be complete sometime in November which will allow drivers’ direct and nonstop access from Borgfeld.

Remembering “Mr. Timberwood Park” Legendary developer G.G. Gale, Jr., who developed Timberwood Park and worked to promote and sell properties in the neighborhood for 40 years, passed away on July 28 at the age of 80. After starting his real estate land development career in the mid 1960s, Mr. Gale started his own development company in the mid 1970s, and his first development was Timberwood Park, which became the legacy on which he continued to build upon through the decades. In that time Mr. Gale became well known across San Antonio and the surrounding areas for his regular radio ads in which he urged people to “come to Timberwood Park, where there’s more treetops than rooftops.” His obituary referred to him as “a Real Estate Developer, Avid Fisherman, Gambler, Pilot, Exotic Animal Breeder, Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Brother, Uncle, Boss, Friend, and “Mr. Timberwood Park.’”

Do Your Outside Lights Produce Light Trespass? By Daran Bible Light Trespass or “obtrusive light” is defined as “Unwanted light which causes annoyance, discomfort, distraction, or a reduction in visibility”. Many municipalities have developed ordinances to control unwanted lights: Boulder, Colorado for example. Surveys showed that the greatest offenses of Light Trespass are caused by 1) directly viewed glare sources and 2) spill light from adjacent properties. Many of us have experienced this scenario: a neighbor has a security light on their property which is an unshielded fixture casting a much too bright light onto your property. This light may spill into your home or cause extreme discomfort and visibility issues. There have been studies which confirm that the LED bulbs most commonly used today produce a blue/white light which is prone to cause vision problems due to the brightness and glare. A neighbor using appropriate directional lighting, shielded fixtures or, if needed, motion sensors will enhance his community by creating neighbor goodwill. The International Dark-Sky Association recommends the following practical actions: • Make friends, not enemies. Your neighbors may not even realize their lighting is bothersome. • Stay positive. Be tactful and understanding about your neighbor’s right to light their property in order to feel safe in their home. • Suggest alternatives: move light, shield light, add motion sensor. Offer help to get this done. • Explain that light trespass can be distracting and that everyone wants the same thing: a chance to relax in their own environment. Be a good neighbor and make for a better community.

How to Build Healthy Habits for the School Year and Beyond (BPT) - Bells are ringing across the country as kids settle into classrooms for a year full of fun, friendship and plenty of learning.
easy ways to build healthy activity into daily life at home. Make a habit of going on a family walk after dinner (a great chance to unwind and reconnect) or challenge kids to bring their books up the stairs or to another room one at a time. Take 10-minute “dance party� breaks during homework or see who can jump rope the longest.
While exciting, adjusting to new school schedules is a hectic time. Healthy habits are often forgotten as the focus shifts to studies, assignments and extracurriculars.
Manage screen time It’s important for families to be mindful of screen time for kids. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends kids ages 2-5 limit screen use to one hour per day of high-quality programs. For children 6 and older, place consistent limits on the time spent using media and monitor the types of media used.
“Parents and caregivers can make a big difference in helping kids lead a healthy lifestyle during the back-toschool season and beyond,� says Deanna Segrave-Daly, a mom and registered dietitian. “A few proactive steps can set kids up for success in and out of the classroom.� Segrave-Daly offers six easy ideas you can try to help encourage your kids to build healthy habits that last a lifetime:
Snack well Kids love to snack, and it’s important to keep nutritious options on hand for when hunger strikes - it helps them avoid emergency vending machine stops. Stock your pantry with healthier snacks like applesauce pouches. These fridge-free pouches are easy to grab on the way to soccer practice, music lessons or the playground. They’re also an easy lunchbox addition!
Prioritize sleep Sleep is something families often sacrifice due to busy schedules. Remember, kids need significantly more sleep than adults to support their rapid mental and physical development, according to the National Sleep Foundation. School-age children should strive for nine to 11 hours of sleep each night. Establish a nighttime routine and prioritize sleep every night.
Adjust the attitude Mental wellness is part of overall wellness. Keep in mind the power of a positive attitude toward education. Encourage kids to look at issues from different angles, appreciate diversity and be resilient. Have conversations with children and truly listen to their concerns to build trust and solve problems.
Eat breakfast We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day - especially for our kids. Help them jump-start their day with a quick breakfast of healthy foods like fruit, eggs and whole-grain cereal. For those busy mornings, grab something quick, like a GoGo squeez Yogurtz, for a wholesome option they can easily eat in the car or bus with a banana, toaster waffle or whole-wheat toast.
Finally, it’s the adult role models in a child’s life that really set them up for success. “If you model healthy habits, your child is likely to follow your lead,� says Segrave-Daly. “Try to routinely eat well, sleep well, exercise and have conversations about the good and bad parts of your day. Your kids are paying attention even when it seems like they aren’t!�
Encourage exercise Kids should do at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Hopefully some of this physical activity can take place during the school day, but there are lots of
