In This Issue: Letter from San Antonio Water Systems Summer Energy Conservation Tips Do Not Call Registry ADL - Clear the Shelters Event Protecting Your Home While On Vacation Help With the Mess in Your Mailbox

Letter From San Antonio Water Systems Attention! Due to continuing dry weather, the Edwards Aquifer Authority and SAWS aquifer models indicate that the Edwards Aquifer Authority will likely declare a Stage I Drought Stage, and the City of San Antonio will follow suit, near the end of July or the first week of August. For those new to the area or have forgotten, the Drought Stages permit only once a week watering during permitted hours based on the last digit of your home address. The permitted hours will vary according to the Drought Stage. The details of what may be allowed and what may not be allowed for every Drought Stage may be found at the SAWS web page – www.saws.org/Conservation/. All the Stone Oak HOAs and the Stone Oak POA have been working closely with SAWS regarding water conservation throughout the Stone Oak community and will continue to do so. Please remember that all commercial sites and residential homes are still eligible for free irrigation consultations to determine the efficiency of your irrigation system and eligibility for SAWS rebates and don’t forget to review the landscape web page, www.gardenstyleSA.com for drought tolerant landscape designs and gardening tips. Mark Peterson Conservation Coordinator, SAWS

Summertime Energy Conservation Tips Summer can quickly become an expensive season, but being mindful of energy conservation can help reduce your electricity bills—and your carbon footprint. Take a look at the following suggestions to increase your energy conservation efforts and beat the heat without breaking the bank. t Cook dinner outside. Save electricity by using a charcoal or gas grill to cook your favorite summertime meals. t Open the windows. Instead of cranking the air conditioning on summer evenings, opt for fresh air instead. Invest in an inexpensive electric fan to circulate the air. t Light candles. Since longer summer days afford more daylight, reconsider turning on the lights and use candles instead or as a supplement. Be sure not to leave burning candles unattended, especially around pets and children. t Modify the AC when you’re not home. Adjusting the thermostat—even by a few degrees—when you’re not home can conserve a significant amount of electricity. t Turn off the electronics. Power down the television and computer to spend time with friends and family outdoors. Splash around in your community pool or have a potluck barbeque in your backyard. t Take a walk. If possible, choose to walk to nearby stores and restaurants instead of driving. Early mornings and evenings are prime times for a stroll, especially in areas with hot climates. t Take a cool shower or bath. For a refreshing alternative to a hot shower, reduce your hot water heater usage by bathing in cooler water a few times a week. t Limit water consumption. Water the lawn every other day at off-peak times, use environmentally-friendly, disposable plate ware and utensils instead of running the dishwasher and spend a little less time in the shower.

Don’t Call Us . . . If you’re tired of being interrupted by telemarketers who make incessant calls to your home or mobile phones, the National Do Not Call Registry can help. Managed by the Federal Trade Commission, this free service allows you to add your personal phone number to its database, in turn limiting the number of unwanted calls you receive. Once you register your number, telemarketers have 31 days from your registration date to stop calling you; your number also remains on the registry until you remove it or discontinue your phone service. Adding your number to the registry will stop most telemarketing calls, but not all. Calls from or on behalf of political organizations, charities and surveyors are still permitted, as are calls from companies with which you have an existing business relationship or have given prior written permission. To add your number to the registry, call toll free (888) 382-1222 from the phone you want to register or visit www.donotcall.gov.

The Animal Defense League

Hi, I’m Brucie I’m trying my best to smile big for the camera to hopefully convince you to visit me. I’m a friendly type of guy, and I can be a bit silly too. If you take me for a walk, you’ll see my curiosity take effect. Keep in mind that I’m still young, so I’m very curious of my surroundings, and I’m still learning. I hope that you can come by and meet me so that I can show you my big smile that I hope will make you smile too! Brucie is neutered, micro-chipped, and current on his vaccinations, so stop by to meet him at the Animal Defense League located at 11300 Nacogdoches Road, San Antonio, 78217 or visit his pet profile on ADL’s website at www.adltexas.org.

Protecting Your Home While on Vacation Vacation time is here. Many will go away for a week or more and leave their homes unattended. This makes homes a target for criminals. While taking measures to prevent damage from power surges and broken pipes, it’s also important to take steps to avoid damage from someone breaking in and stealing your possessions: t Lock it Up to stop break-ins at any time, lock all windows and doors. Almost ½ of all breakins happen without the use of force. If you have a deadbolt lock, use it. Secure sliding glass doors with strong dowels, two-by-fours, or steel bars placed in the lower grooves. Don’t forget to lock your garage as well. t Ask Friends or Neighbors to Keep an Eye on Your Property. Ask them to take in newspapers and mail, or have those deliveries suspended while you are away. Arrange for your lawn to be mowed. Give your neighbor or friend a key to your home in case of an emergency that requires someone to go inside. Give them your itinerary and contact information. Show them the location of the water main shut-off in case a water pipe bursts. t Avoid Posting Vacation Plans on Social Networking Sites. Complete strangers have access to this information on the internet.

t Leave Curtains Exactly as You Keep Them When You’re Home. Changes in your regular routine may alert thieves to your being away. Keep expensive items out of sight. Expensive jewelry can be placed in a bank’s safety deposit box. t Don’t Leave Lights on Throughout Your Vacation. Lights blazing throughout the night may look odd, especially if that is not your usual practice. Instead, purchase a timer that will turn lights on and off automatically on a programmed schedule. t Stop Mail and Newspaper Deliveries. Papers piled up on your doorstep is a signal to criminals that you are out of town. t Unplug Small Appliances and Electronics. This protects them from power surges and saves money as well. t Remove Your Spare Key. Criminals know usual hiding places and will check all of them to find a hidden key. t Trim Shrubs and Trees. These are hiding places for criminals, especially around windows and doors. t Remove Items From Your Yard. Bicycles, lawnmowers, scooters, and tricycles are easy targets for someone to walk away with.

t Notify Police That You Will be Away. Ask them to drive by your home on their patrols to make sure everything looks secure.

HELP WITH THE MESS IN THE MAILBOX Disgusted by all of those unsolicited credit card offers clogging up your mailbox? Tired of lugging catalogs and junk mail to the recycling bin? All of this unwanted mail creates nothing but headaches and wasted paper, so it’s no wonder putting an end to it is a priority for many people. While you can’t eliminate everything, you can noticeably reduce the avalanche of paper in your mailbox just by picking up the phone or hopping online. Here are a few simple ways to put a kibosh on the heaps of junk mail that keep piling up: So Long, Pre-Screened Credit Offers: If your credit is anywhere near good, credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—are selling your name to credit card companies as a hot prospect. That’s why you’re getting those “you’ve been pre-approved” offers every day. Put an end to it by calling 1-888-5-OPT-OUT (1-888567-8688). You will need to provide your name, address, telephone number, Social Security number and date of birth to ensure your opt-out request matches your credit record rather than someone else who shares your name. You can also opt out via the Internet at: www.optoutprescreen.com/opt_form.cgi. If you prefer not to disclose your Social Security number and date of birth, the online form does not require this information. However, the website strongly urges you to provide this information because it helps ensure that your request will be processed correctly, and it protects your information from unauthorized access. Opting out is good for five years. However, if you’d like your name removed permanently, you will be mailed a confirmation form within about five business days to sign and return. For more information see the FTC’s Facts for Consumers, Prescreened Offers of Credit and Insurance at www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/ credit/cre17.shtm Remember, this won’t stop all credit offers—only those that result from screening your credit report. Your bank or credit card company may still send you offers for new credit or share information about you with other companies. Although you don’t have total control over the Stone Oak - July 2016 - Vol 21 No 7

information that’s shared by financial companies, you do have some. For more on how to limit data sharing by banks and other financial institutions, read the Privacy Rights Clearing house Fact Sheet 24, Protecting Financial Privacy in the New Millennium: The Burden Is on You, at www.privacyrights.org/fs/fs24-finpriv.htm. Jettison the Junk Mail: You can reduce other types of junk mail—magazine offers, sweepstakes and other national advertising mail—by contacting the Direct Marketing Association’s (DMA) Mail Preference Service (MPS). This opt-out lasts for five years and can be renewed. Go to www.dmachoice.org/dma/member/ regist.action. There is no charge for registering online. For those who want to want to register via USPS, send $1 check or money order to the Mail Preference Service, PO Box 643, Carmel NY 10512. (See their sample letter available at: www.privacyrights.org/Letters/letters. htm#Junk_Mail.) The MPS will put you into the “delete” file, which is sent to subscribing organizations several times a year. Cut Out the Catalogs: When you buy something from a mail-order catalog, your transaction is likely to be reported to Abacus, a company that compiles a cooperative database of catalog and publishing companies’ customers. Your name is then sold to other mail-order companies that send you catalogs and offers. This explains why you are likely to receive several unsolicited catalogs after ordering anything by mail. To opt out of the Abacus database, write to Abacus, P.O. Box 1478, Broomfield, CO 80038 or email abacusoptout@epsilon.com. Include your full name and current address (and previous address if you have moved recently). For more information, visit www. abacusoptout.com. You’ll have to notify companies yourself that do not participate in the DMA and Abacus opt-out programs. Contact the customer service department and request that your name and address not be shared with other companies. Contact magazines, charities, nonprofit organizations and professional associations to which you have either donated money or joined. It may take a few months to see results, but eventually the mess in your mailbox will thin out. ©Neighborhood News, Inc. PAGE 7

Debug your Summer Fun with Herbs By Vickie Castilleja, SAWS Conservationist

Before you run out to buy chemical pesticides for your yard, there are a number of herbs that grow well in our area that are also natural insect repellents. Summer is in full swing. This is a time of year when we enjoy barbeques, the beach, road trips and longer days. It’s also the time of year when mosquitoes, fleas and other bugs are out in force. This year with the warm winter and wet spring the population of fleas, ticks and mosquitoes is higher than normal. Before you run out to buy chemical pesticides for your yard, keep in mind that even the creatures we think of as pests play a role in the ecosystem. Chemical pesticides intended for those pesky bugs may also kill beneficial bugs and can even harm pets in some instances. That doesn’t mean you have to let mosquitoes and other pests ruin your summer fun. There are a number of herbs that grow well in our area that are natural insect repellents. Try these tips to keep from being “bugged” this summer. Basil – Repels flies and mosquitoes. Planting basil in containers or beds by your doors or around outdoor eating areas will help keep flies and mosquitoes away. Crushing basil leaves and rubbing on your skin protects from mosquito bites or you can make an insect repellent spray with basil, water and vodka. Lavender – Can be used in many of the same ways as basil. Crush the flowers to extract the oil and rub on

your skin, plant near doors and outdoor living areas to keep flies, fleas and mosquitoes away. Making sachets for drawers and closets will help keep moths away from clothes, too. Lemon balm and lemon grass – Both contain citronella oil which repels mosquitoes. Lemon balm can be crushed and rubbed on the skin to prevent bites. Growing lemon grass near outdoor living spaces will help keep mosquitoes away from your outdoor fun. Rosemary – Repels mosquitoes and a variety of insects that are harmful in vegetable gardens. Grow rosemary near outdoor living spaces, mixed into garden or landscape beds or in containers to help keep insects at bay. Adding a sprig of rosemary directly to the grill will further repel mosquitoes and other insects as the scent infuses the smoke from the grill. Like basil, rosemary can be used to make a natural spray repellent. Mint – Repels flies, fleas and ants. Mint can be invasive so grow it in pots or other contained areas. Like lemon balm, lavender and basil, mint can be rubbed on your skin to keep from being bitten as well as grown near exterior doors and outdoor living spaces. All these herbs are great additions to your landscape. They’re not only drought-tolerant and easy to grow, but they also have wonderful culinary uses and are beautiful in your landscape. Talk about getting bang for your buck!
