LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
I
hope that all of you and your families had a great holiday season, and Happy New Year to you all! And what a special holiday treat it was when we got that unexpected snowfall in early December. We included several photos from that night and day in this issue of the newsletter. As you probably know, the TPOA annual meeting was held on December 5, and it included the election to fill four open seats on the TPOA Board of Directors. Thanks to all of you who took the time to vote, and thanks to all of the candidates for your interest in serving our community. Paula Dimmitt was elected and Karen O’Neil, Craig Zenner and Ricky Gonzales were reelected. I know I speak for the rest of the Board members when I say how excited we are to work with Paula. For those of you who don’t know her, Paula is a volunteer extraordinaire! For years she has given so many hours of her time to help coordinate so many different community events, often with her husband Michael, and usually with her great friend and “partner in crime” Nancy Handel, who is also an amazing volunteer for the community. Beyond volunteer time, Paula and Michael have always taken a deep interest in the many different issues that affect our neighborhood, and I don’t recall any public board meeting in the last five years that she and Michael haven’t attended and sat in the front row! We look forward to Paula’s energy, perspective and new ideas. Speaking of great volunteers, special thanks to Terri Edwards, who continues to lead our Landscaping Committee. In addition to leading efforts to plant shade trees throughout the park, landscape around the new park bathroom facilities, and various other park landscaping improvement projects, they restored the Gerfers Cemetery and worked to promote Timberwood Park’s rich history, which included efforts to get official state signage designating the cemetery a state historical landmark. Terri and the group have also developed a Memorial Tree Program in which Timberwood residents can remember a loved one by planting a tree in the park in their honor. More information on this program is included later in this newsletter. It’s hard to believe that the school year is already half over, and when the next school year starts, middle schoolers from our neighborhood will begin attending the new, yet-to-benamed middle school off of Borgfeld. What a great cut in the commute distance and time it will be for the students and parents given that Spring Branch Middle School is 10 or more miles depending where you live in Timberwood, and the new school is only about two miles away. Plus, it won’t involve 281
traffic. The new high school that was approved by voters as part of Comal ISD’s 2017 bond package, will also be located off of Borgfeld, and will basically be adjacent to the middle school. That school, which is also yet to be named, is scheduled to open in August 2021. Special thanks to Timberwood resident Marty Bartlett, who serves on the Comal ISD Board of Trustees (and is a past President of the TPOA Board), for stopping by the annual meeting to provide an update on the school projects. Thanks Marty for your leadership on the School Board to protect our neighborhood children’s’ interests, and thanks to you and your fellow Board members for getting the new schools built without a tax increase! Last but not least, I know you and many others throughout the community are wondering about the clubhouse project status. It has been slower than we had hoped, but given the size, scope and potential cost of this project, it’s not something that we want to rush – if we are going to do it, we want to do everything we can to make sure it is done right. At the time of this writing, we are nearing completion of the design phase, engineering drawings are nearly complete, the park platting process is underway, and we have begun interviewing general contractors. Once all of the design work is done and we have firm construction bids, all of that will be presented the community, and the community will have the opportunity to vote whether or not to proceed with the project. Many more details will be forthcoming on this in the coming weeks and months. Thanks for your time, and I’ll see you around the neighborhood! Greg Matula TPOA Board President

Timberwood Park Owners Association 2017 Annual Meeting Minutes December 5, 2017 The annual meeting of the Board of Directors for Timberwood Park Owners Association (TPOA) was held at the TPOA Clubhouse.

Changes to ACC Review Process Will Increase Speed and Efficiency Some minor changes were recently made to the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) review process that will enhance the speed and efficiency of the process. For more than seven years, all ACC project submissions, from new construction projects to remodels to changes to roofs, fences, paint, etc., have been reviewed by the ACC to ensure that the different projects meet Timberwood Park’s architectural requirements. The committee is comprised of seven dedicated community volunteers who meet every other week and review many requests each month. This committee does a great job, but sometimes the project approval process can take a while based on the sheer volume of requests that they have to review. For instance, if a request is submitted on or around the day after the committee meets, it may be two weeks before that project could be reviewed, and if there are questions related to the submission, it could take even longer. In fact, probably the biggest complaint that the ACC and board get is the amount of time that it takes to receive approval for a project. In an effort to expedite the review and approval process, the smaller, routine requests (i.e., installing or replacing fences, painting, roof replacements, etc.) will now be reviewed and can be approved by Spectrum, which has more staff and resources to provide much faster turnaround times. The current process, including forms and required project documentation, will remain the same as they were before. This will also allow the ACC more time to focus on the larger, more time-consuming projects. If you have any questions about this or anything related to an ACC request, please e-mail contact@spectrumam. com or call them at 210-494-0659.

TPOA Memorial Tree Program The Memorial Tree Program lets you remember a loved one in a very special way by planting a tree in his or her honor at Timberwood Park recreational area. Your loved one will not only be remembered, but you will be helping your community at the same time. You will work with the TWP personnel in selecting a species of tree and an acceptable location site where the tree will be planted. Trees will be 45 gallon sized and planted professionally. Things to be considered will be • Proper growing space available for newly planted tree in the park • Species diversity Suggested list includes Mexican White Oak (aka Monterrey Oak), Chinkapin Oak, Shumark Red Oak, Live Oak, Cedar Elm, Mexican or Texas Sycamore, Arizona or Bald Cypress, Lacey Oak, Big tooth Maple, Bur Oak. All of these are recommended for Bexar County soil and weather conditions. Memorial trees will then be planted at the next desirable planting time (early fall or early spring) and maintained by the maintenance personnel at park. Once the tree is planted, the donor will be notified of the location of the tree and will be recognized at next scheduled TPOA Board meeting with mention in the Timberwood News. In addition, you and your family will receive a complimentary family pass for the upcoming swimming season at TWP pool. To start the Memorial Tree planting process, you will need to complete the following information and submit with check for $500 payable to TPOA at the TWP office (during office hours) next to pool or mail to TPOA, c/o Spectrum Association Management, 17319 San Pedro Ave. Suite 318, San Antonio, TX 78232

Put A Freeze on Winter Fires Heating, holiday decorations, winter storms and candles all contribute to an increased risk of fire during the winter months. NFPA and the U.S. Fire Administration are teaming up to help reduce your risk to winter fires and other hazards, including carbon monoxide and electrical fires. Heating Heating is the second leading cause of U.S. home fires, deaths and injuries. December, January and February are the peak months for heating fires. Space heaters are the type of equipment most often involved in home heating equipment fires, figuring in two of every five fires (40%). More statistics on heating fires. Carbon Monoxide Often called the invisible killer, carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas created when fuels such as gasoline, wood, coal, propane, etc. do not burn. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel are potential sources of CO. Carbon monoxide incidents are more common during the winter months, and in residential properties. More statistics on carbon monoxide incidents. Winter storms Most of the U.S. is at risk for winter storms, which can cause dangerous and sometimes life-threatening conditions.

Home fires occur more in the winter than in any other season, and heating equipment is involved in one of every six reported home fires, and one in every five home fire deaths. Generators Portable generators are useful during power outages, however, many homeowners are unaware that the improper use of portable generators can be risky. The most common dangers associated with portable generators are carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, electrical shock or electrocution, and fire hazards. According to a 2013 Consumer Product Safety Commission report, half of the generator-related deaths happened in the four coldest months of the year, November through February, and portable generators were involved in the majority of carbon monoxide deaths involving engine-driven tools. Electrical Electrical home fires are a leading cause of home fires in the U.S. Roughly half of all home electrical fires involved electrical distribution or lighting equipment, while nearly another half involved other known types of equipment like washer or dryer fans, and portable or stationary space heaters.

Prepare to Prune This is the time of year to prune your trees. But before sharpening your chainsaw, think about what actually needs pruning. Yes, it is an arborist’s favorite time of year — pruning time. December, January and the first part of February are the best time of year to prune trees. But before sharpening your chainsaw, think about what actually needs pruning. Pruning is done for three reasons (in order of importance): safety, tree health and appearance. Although appearance is often mentioned as a reason for pruning, it’s really the least significant reason as it is subjective. What looks bad to one person, may look entirely different to someone else. •
•
•
Pruning for safety requires the pruning of poor branch structure. Narrow branch junctions that are V-shaped are structurally weak and should be removed, especially if two or more of the branches are of equal diameters. Think Arizona ashes or hackberries. Long branches that have been repeatedly stripped of their lateral branches are also very weak and should be shortened or removed completely. Tree health is the second motive for pruning. Look for the “3-D” branches — dead, diseased and dying. These are a source of disease and insects, as well as a food source to attract more disease and insects. It’s important to remove them, but they may remain on the tree for a short time since they pose no immediate threat to life and limb. Pruning for appearance often leads to overzealous removal of what the tree needs most: green

leaves. Eliminating the means of food production, i.e. photosynthesis, will inevitably harm the tree’s long term health. Loss of foliage results in loss of food reserves to fight off pests. Finally, never cut through the branch collar and always paint fresh oak wounds. The branch collar, a donutshaped ring at the junction of two branches or trunks, is a zone of specialized cells and chemicals that reduces the potential for decay and disease. As for painting a wound, that’s done to prevent oak wilt in oaks. So if it’s an elm, ash, sycamore, pine, tallow, or pecan tree, painting the wounds is not necessary. But for oak trees, always paint the wounds! Pruning a tree is a major task requiring time and resources. On the other hand, pruning is not mandatory. (No elves or dwarves are doing it in the forest.) But if you wish for your tree to live a long, healthy life, then pruning once every four to seven years is essential.

Relief From Those Annoying Robocalls
“Sharing the critical information from consumers’ unwanted call complaints to enable industry innovators to stop illegal robocalls is exactly the type of publicprivate partnership the FTC champions,” said Acting Chairman Maureen K. Ohlhausen.
FTC rolls out new system to track — and block — calls by Brandon Gobel, AARP, August 3, 2017
Have you been getting more and more robocalls on your phone? If so, you’re not alone, but relief could be on the way. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), cellphone providers and industry experts have unveiled a new system to track — and more quickly block — these annoying and often illegal calls on your landline and cellphones. Complaints about the calls have been pouring into the FTC — so much so that they are the No. 1 complaint the agency receives. The FTC plans to process your complaint within one business day and immediately turn over information you gathered from the caller to phone carriers and other industry partners. As part of the partnership, the groups will work to quickly block the unwanted number from calling you and others.

Here’s how you can help: • Make sure you subscribe to the Do Not Call list. If not, you have to wait 31 days to file a complaint. • If you receive unwanted calls or robocalls in violation of the FTC policy, take notes. You’ll want to gather this information from the call: incoming phone number, date and time of call, what the call was about, and whether it was a recording or live person. • File a complaint on the FTC website. The agency has made its complaint form simple, with numerous dropdown menus to help you through the process. The FTC says your complaint is crucial because many of today’s call-blocking solutions rely on “blacklists” — databases of telephone numbers that have received significant consumer complaints. Robocalls can be more than irritating. They also can be a scam and cost you plenty. TrueCaller, a caller ID and blocking app, reports that an estimated 22.1 million Americans lost $9.5 billion in phone scams in 2016.
