LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Disagreement – The Key Factor to Many Good Decisions Hello neighbors. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, and took a few moments during the holiday to give thanks that you live in such a great neighborhood. We truly have lots to be thankful for in Timberwood Park. I know not everything is perfect, but when you look around, we have a pretty nice place to live, and raise our families. I wanted to do something a bit different in this newsletter and share some thoughts with you. Question: At what point did disagreeing with someone’s point of view become an aggressive act? I see so much coverage on TV showing two opposing persons with differing opinions yelling, screaming, and berating the other person because they have an opposing view point. Perhaps I should stop watching TV? When did folks become so closed minded? “It is my way or the highway,” is a very short sighted way to approach problem solving. When did it become “PC” to attack someone’s opinion that opposed your own? Opposing viewpoints allow us to ponder different thoughts on a subject that we may have not considered. It takes a very open minded person to be able to hear the view point of another when it may not align with their own opinion. Productive, group decision-making is work. It takes different opinions from multiple individuals, to make the best decision. It takes individuals that are confident in voicing those opinions, and individuals that are willing to listen with an open mind. I’m fortunate to have worked with some
very good, current and past. Board members that have had opinions, and have not hesitated to share them with others. Together, we have made many good decisions. I have not agreed with all of them, but they still turn out to be good decisions for the community. An example of this good decision-making was the decision to fix the leaking lake at the park. This summer was the first summer in several years in which we had a significant amount of water in the lake for the entire summer, enough that we stocked the lake with fish. Many kids and adults caught and released fish all summer long. This decision was deliberated for many months. Several folks spent hours of their personal time on research, and many individuals provided expert opinions. There were many meetings that involved heated discussions, and arguments with opposing opinions. I want to mention two Continued inside

residents who did the lion’s share of the research and legwork. Vonn Shows, and Robert Marburger, were instrumental in providing Board members with opinions and data that both supported, and opposed, the project. If you happen to know either of these individuals, you may want to give them a big “Thank You.�

So, if you are speaking with someone who offers an opinion that differs from yours, you may want to hear them out. You never know what you may learn. And, don’t be afraid to offer an opposing opinion. When it is done constructively and in a non-attacking manner, new ideas can flourish.

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I believe that the weatherman is predicting snow for Timberwood early next year. More on that later‌‌.

FALL L REALLY Y IS THE BEST T TIME TO PLANT By: Mark Peterson for Garden Style San Antonio
The “green” industry regularly promotes fall and winter as the Are there any tips for planting? Absolutely! Follow these best times to plant. This is true, but have you ever wondered simple rules for great planting: why? It seems a bit illogical to plant a plant just as it enters — • Dig wide holes – whether roses or lantanas or red oaks, or will soon enter — dormancy. Here is the answer, short and the wider the hole, the better. The minimum hole size simple. is twice the diameter of the container it came in. In south Texas, we have two, sometimes three, seasons: bearable, unbearable and intolerable. OK, this may be not what the Chamber of Commerce presents, but native plants have adapted to the hot, dry summers by geminating their seeds in the fall or by extending their roots during the temperate winter. By developing a deep and extensive root system during the dormant season, native plants can survive extensive summer droughts fairly well.
• The hole is only as deep as the root collar – the juncture of trunk and roots. Always check the top of the rootball. Some unscrupulous nursery people will throw dirt on top of the rootball when they upgrade the plant to a larger size, thus hiding the root collar resulting in a plant planted too deep to reach full potential. • Always use the original soil, plus a little compost and organic fertilizer, to backfill the hole. Water the rootball and backfill thoroughly.
But it’s the dormant season, how can roots grow during the dormant season, you ask. Our soil does not freeze like northern soil, so plant roots are able to grow, albeit at a slower rate, Finally, cover the planting area with no more than 2 inches throughout the fall, winter and early spring months. Extensive of woodchip or pinebark mulch. And, remember to water root systems equal survival and growth. So planting during weekly with Mark’s famous 3-2-1 method. the fall and winter provides the absolute best opportunity for plants to grow and thrive for the rest of their lives.

Choosing a Real Christmas Tree Benefits the Environment By Lora Reynolds, Special to Neighborhood News The Christmas tree retailers who set up their seasonal sales tents in town around Thanksgiving are selling trees that are grown as a crop by U.S. Christmas tree farmers. For every tree that is cut to sell, at least three seedlings are planted, according to the National Christmas Tree Association (NCTA). Trees grown on farms can reach a height of six to seven feet in seven to 10 years. Because real trees are biodegradable and recyclable, they can be put to good use to aid other living things after the holiday season ends. &KULVWPDV WUHHV DUH QRW WKH ÂżUH KD]DUG WKH\ ZHUH once thought to be.

easiest to decorate because of their shape and space between branches. Many other varieties are available and the one you choose will depend on your own aesthetics. When you’ve made your selection, ask to have half an inch cut from the bottom of the trunk to allow for better moisture absorption. Make sure you have what you need for transporting the tree home, whether it’s rope for tying it to the roof or a blanket or sheets of plastic to protect the interior of your vehicle or its trunk. Take the tree home and store it in a bucket of lukewarm water until you’re ready to set it up in its stand. For optimum moisture, your Christmas tree stand should hold one quart of water for every inch diameter of the trunk. (One quart equals four cups.) If your tree trunk is three inches in diameter, your stand should hold three quarts of water.

Tips for Shipping Holiday Packages
Are you getting eblasts?
By Lora Reynolds Special to Neighborhood News
If you are not receiving TPOA Eblast, and would like to, please visit www.spectrumam.com and register you email address. It’s easy and can be done in four steps:
You’ve made your decisions, purchased and wrapped the gifts, but now you have to box them up and send them to faraway friends and family. Yes, it’s one extra step you have to take during this hectic season, but here are some tips from ehow.com and usps.com for safe and hassle-free shipping.
1. Go to the Spectrum website at www.spectrumam.com. 2. Under Account Login, click the Login/Register button.
• Know your holiday shipping deadlines if you want your gifts to reach their destination by December 25. They vary from carrier to carrier. U.S. Postal Service lists December 14 as the Parcel Post deadline, December 19 for First Class Mail, December 21 for Priority Mail, and December 23 for Express Mail. The shorter the mailing time the more you’ll pay for shipping, of course. FedEx, UPS, and DHL have similar deadline dates.
3. Fill in your account information. 4. Click “submit” and you’ll receive a confirmation email within 24 hours. If you do not receive this email, contact Spectrum at 210-494-0695. The association’s website features information about events and meetings happening in our community, downloadable copies of the governing documents, and the ability to pay your assessments online and even set up recurring payments. In addition, you will receive timely emails about our community.
• Know your limitations on package dimensions and contents and what packing materials are best. Check with the carrier for maximum size and weight of packages. • Place extra address labels inside of each package as a precaution in case the package breaks open or the label falls off or becomes illegible.
