We have good news to share!
We have completed the renovations to our pool and our Encino Park playground is our next area of focus, with hopes of finishing it in the near future. The recommendations will be based on the feedback received during the community input meetings that were held last year and concept ideas generated at the park committee meetings. Our pool and park are the HOA’s greatest assets and we know how much they mean to you.
Many friends and families have shared their making-memories-stories about our Park Playground. Soon there will be new and improved opportunities for memory making. Grandparents will take grandkids to the same place they took those kids’ parents - family tradition making!
We are fortunate to be able to support this wonderful neighborhood gem through our HOA dollars. We can look forward to more information, hopefully soon, giving us insight into what exciting changes are in store.
Let your Board know what you love most about the Encino Park playground. We want to hear your stories! We will keep you informed as plans firm up regarding proposed improvements to this wonderful community treasure.
Message from the BoardBy Randy Smith
Please pick up after your pets. Take a plastic bag with you on your walks and dispose of it properly. Obey the leash law. All dogs and cats must be confined to their owner’s property at all times except when on a leash.

Bexar County Master Gardeners will present a workshop on Drip Irrigation
Efficient irrigation is a key practice for conserving water in the landscape. Low volume irrigation systems (sometimes referred to as drip or trickle irrigation) are among the most effective means of achieving significant water savings. Despite the tremendous potential for water conservation, these systems are not widely used in residential landscapes.
Like conventional overhead irrigation systems, low volume systems require proper design, installation, maintenance and operation for optimum water savings and plant performance. So, come learn how you can best conserve water in your landscape. The workshop fee is $10 and each participant leaves with a starter kit. Please call the office (210-497-3022) to book your seat.

Encino Park will celebrate its 40th anniversary this October and you are invited. A fun-filled day of celebration is being planned for Saturday, October 12. Mark your calendar! We are planning to have games, music, food, guests and more — it’s a CELEBRATION! We would love to have more homeowners be part of the planning committee, so email us at contact@
encinoparkhoa.com.
OUT to LUNCH
Our lunch outing this month will return us to what has become a very favorite location of our group- “Perry’s” at LaCantera. We will go on Friday, May 31, at 11:30, and enjoy their delicious fare, including their famous PORK CHOP! Call Janet at 481-9956 by Tuesday the 28th if you plan to go. Carpooling will be available.
In March we visited “Snooze” at the Vineyard Shopping Center. The twelve of us lucky enough to be able to attend enjoyed the wide variety of offerings that we ordered, and each of us had a hard time deciding what, from their extensive menu, to order! It was all delicious, and the service was very good. Be aware that they do not take reservations unless you have a group of over 8, and then when you get there they will not seat any of you until half of the number you told them ahead of time are there. So be prepared to perhaps devote some time to being there, for getting seated as well as waiting for your scrumptious food to be prepared. They are very busy at lunch time, but if you have the time, it is worth it. Thank you to Dyan Montesclaros for selecting this restaurant and making the arrangements.
Over 50 ClubDyan MontesclarosClub President
We played Bingo for pennies at our second meeting in April and everyone had a grand time. We always have fun. So, bring a bag lunch and your friendly spirit, and join us for dessert. Stay a while and play a game. A volunteer member brings a snack or sweets and a beverage.
We sure would love to have more neighbors join us. We meet the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 11:30 a.m. in the Community Center. We are a fun group of more than fifty-somethings who play cards, dominoes, Rummikub and other games and occasionally bingo and bunco. For more information, call the office at 210-497-3022.

The Pool Committee has finalized the pool rules (which are in this Newsletter). We are planning a Pool Party on Memorial Day, May 27 to celebrate the pool’s new facelift – the pool has been re-plastered, re-decked and a new perimeter fence installed. We need more folks to help us plan and carry out the Party and provide other input/feedback on the pool. If you would like to be a part of that, contact the Committee at [email protected] or call the office (210-497-3022).
We are looking for stories and pictures of people enjoying our park, pool and community center. If you are long-time resident or just moved in and have memorable times and pictures in the park, pool or center, we’d love for you
to share. These stories and pictures may be used in our 40th Anniversary celebration and may be published in the newsletter. Send your stories and/or pictures to [email protected] or bring them to the office; be sure to include your contact information.

Yard of the Month for April
We apologize that our picture doesn’t do the homeowners who have this lovely landscaped home proper justice. Our congratulations to the homeowners of this month’s yard selection – 19935 Park Hollow. When we took the picture, the whole family was involved in yard work and were having lots of fun. Please drive by the house to see their handiwork.
These residents came to the April Board meeting and received a sign to place in their yard as well as a $25 gift card to Home Depot, a landscaping book and a few doo-dads from City agencies.
In our drive through the neighborhood, we saw lots of great yards and lots of evidence and effort being spent in folks’ front yards. We appreciate all our neighbors who take pride in their property helping keep Encino Park an attractive place to live.

Letter from the Office:PEDESTRIAN SAFETYAs you know, drivers are expected to be alert while slowly maneuvering through any residential area. Drivers should remain vigilant by looking out for pedestrian traffic as pedestrians always have the right-of-way. Drivers should obey residential speed limits by driving at the appropriate rate of speed and should come to a complete stop any time a person is crossing the road.
We ask that our homeowners help us with this initiative by reminding their children to always look both ways before crossing any street and by educating teens (with a driver’s permit) about the dangers of speeding.
To increase pedestrian visibility, we also ask residents and guests to first consider utilizing the space available on driveways/garages, so curbside parking may be brought to a minimum.
As a friendly reminder, everyone should refrain from leaving vehicles parked in the direct vicinity of community mailboxes as this makes mail retrieval difficult for individuals with mobility limitations; other areas to avoid obstructing include:
• street/stop signs• within 50’ of intersections • sidewalk ramps• driveways• fire hydrants
Please do not leave unregistered or inoperable vehicles on our streets. If you have any questions, please call the city of San Antonio at 311 or 210-207-6000.
Please don’t leave your trash cans out in plain view!Lots of our neighbors complain about trash cans left out in front of garages, in driveways or side yards. Our governing documents state that “trash cans should be stored out of view from the street except during the time set out for pickup”. Don’t leave them longer than 24 hours beyond trash pick-up day, otherwise Code Enforcement could levy a warning or even a fine. So, please keep your trash cans out of sight and keep Encino Park a beautiful place to live.
LETTER to the EDITOR
Someone told me that the space on the side of my property between my fence and the sidewalk where there is grass and some river rock is my responsibility. Is that true?- C., Encino Royale
Dear C., Yes, that is true. If you think about it, who else would be responsible for taking care of it? It is a common understanding that the homeowner/resident is responsible for the maintenance of that piece of land. So, a homeowner can landscape it however they like as well. If it is not maintained, it is a reflection on the homeowners and might warrant a violation letter from the Association to encourage its upkeep. It is additional work for you, but you will be so happy that your entire property looks well maintained and manicured and so will your neighbors. We appreciate your question and concern.

Encino Park Outdoors:As one of the most biologically diverse states in the country, Texas is particularly susceptible to the threat of invasive species. In the Greater San Antonio area, there are numerous invasive plants that are causing harm. Last month we introduced the rationale for being educated on invasive plants and their threat to our environment. This article features one of these invasive plants in order to enlist your help in identifying and eradicating these invaders!
Invader of the Month: Chinaberry tree (Melia azedarach)
Chinaberry is a fast-growing, perennial, deciduous tree with a spreading crown. It is a member of the mahogany family and grows to a height of 50 to 60 feet and up to 2 feet in diameter.
The bark in seedlings is dark green, thin and smooth. On mature trunks the bark is dark gray with thick ridges.
The leaves of the Chinaberry tree are 1 to 2 feet long and 9 to 16 inches wide. Each leaflet is glossy dark green, turning golden-yellow in the fall. The leaflets are to 1 to 3 inches long.
The flowers are fragrant and plentiful in long, loose clusters, each with 5 lilac petals with a dark purple center. The flowers appear with the leaves in April/May.
The berries are yellow-tan, in loose drooping clusters; ½ inch to ¾ inch wide. They ripen in September/October and cling to the branches in the winter after the foliage has dropped. The leaves, bark and flowers are toxic to livestock, humans and pets.
Native to Asia and the Himalayas, Chinaberry was introduced to the United States as an ornamental shade tree in the mid-1800s.
Chinaberry is a very fast-growing tree that reaches 18 to 24 feet in height in 4 to 5 years. It is reproductively mature when it reaches the size of a shrub! Chinaberry reproduces via bird-dispersed seeds and on-site from root sprouts or root collars. The leaf litter raises soil pH, inhibiting the growth of native plants. All parts of the tree repel insects and it is resistant to pathogens.
Chinaberry tree is listed as a noxious plant on the Texas State-listed Noxious Weeds list. This means that it cannot be sold in nurseries. If you have this plant in your yard, please consider removing it.
Consider the following native plant alternatives:• Western soapberry (Sapindus saponaria var. drummondii)• Chinquapin Oak (Quercus muehlenbergii)• Texas Red Oak (Quercus texana)
For additional information about these invasive plants, you may search the Invaders of Texas website: www.texasinvasives.org.
For additional information about native alternatives, you may search the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center website: www.wildflower.org
We would like to ask everyone to be a good neighbor. Based on the complaints we get in the office, and in no particular order, a good neighbor:
• Puts their trash cans out of sight • Mows their lawn when it’s time• Drives safely and courteously including stopping at stop signs• Parks with the flow of traffic (which is the law)• Doesn’t park RVs or trailers on the street longer than the law
allows• Keeps debris out of the front yard• Doesn’t have inoperable vehicles in the driveway or on the
street• Maintains the front of the house, painting, replacing facia, etc.• Complies with the rules: City and local ordinances• Isn’t noisy, i.e., loud music, barking dogs, screaming kids• Picks up after their dogs• Ensures renters know and follow the rules of the HOA• Is friendly and works together for any shared property or
landscaping• Offers help if appropriate; accepts help offered if appropriate
Many of these items are in our governing documents or local laws. So, let’s be a good neighbor and follow the contractual rules that we agreed to when we bought in Encino Park. If we do, Encino Park will stay beautiful and be a sought-after neighborhood to live in and neighbors won’t be complaining about us.
Were you denied life insurance benefits because your insurance company claims your loved one lied on the policy application?

We will �ght to get you the bene�ts you deserve.
¿Se le negó un reclamo de beneficios de seguro de vida porque la compañía de seguro insiste que su ser querido mintió en su aplicación? Aunque ésta es una de las tácticas que usan las compañías de seguro de vida para negar reclamos, el nivel de evidencia necesario para probar una representación falsa es muy alto en Texas. No deje que una compañía de seguro de vida se aproveche de usted. Contáctenos al (210) 733-4177 para �jar una cita de consulta gratis para discutir su reclamo de seguro de vida.

1. Have your items priced with tags.
2. Have plenty of cash and coin change and always keep your money with you. Carry your money in your pocket or fanny pack, or a small cross over purse works well too.
3. Display your items on tables, big boxes turned upside down or a blanket or sheet. Customers don’t want to have to go digging for items still in boxes. However, kids clothing is okay to have in boxes.
4. Move your vehicles across the street that day to leave parking spaces for the customers or cars to pull into.
5. If you live on a side street or towards the back of the neighborhood, make a sign with a poster board or a box and write “GARAGE SALE” with an arrow pointing in the direction of your home, or put your street name on the sign. Please remember to take all your signs down at the end of the sale.
Old Cell Phones Cluttering Your Drawers?Consider donating them to SAPD for use by domestic violence victims. All cell phones, even those without a service provider, have the capability to dial 911, which can be lifesaving for these victims.
Simply drop your old phones (include chargers if you have them) off at the SAPD-North Substation on Jones Maltsberger Road. Or, even more convenient for our homeowners, drop them off at the HOA office and they’ll be delivered for you – free.
MOTHER’S DAYSunday, May 12, 2019
The first Mother’s Day was celebrated in 1908 in Philadelphia. Mother’s Day is a modern celebration honoring one’s mother, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society.
Anna Jarvis campaigned to make “Mother’s Day” a recognized holiday in the United States in 1905, which was the year her beloved mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis, died. Ann Reeves Jarvis was a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues. Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mother by continuing the work she started and to set aside a day to honor mothers, “the person who has done more for you than anyone in the world”.

And Don’t Forget...If MOVING into an apartmentor condominium building, make sure common areas and individual apartments are sprinklered.
If BUILDING a new home orremodeling an existing home,consider installing a home firesprinkler system.
SAFETY TIPSKKK Home fire sprinklers save lives and property. In many
situations, a family who has survived a fire will also have their “home” to live in and enough of the items and space in their home to continue living their lives as they did before.
KKK The cost of a home fire sprinkler system in a new home averages $1.35 per sprinklered square foot totaling an amount similar to what is spent for carpet upgrades, paving stone driveway or a whirlpool bath.

insurance premium.KKK Fire departments typically use roughly 10 times as much water
as a fire sprinkler would use to contain a fire. Source: Fire Protection Research Foundation Study 2010.KKK Fire sprinklers are environmentally friendly. They can reduce
the amount of water run-off and pollution, fire damage by up to 71%, and water usage to fight a home fire by as much as 91%.

Only the high temperature of a fire will activate the sprinkler.KKK A home fire sprinkler system is easy to maintain. Just inspect
your home to make sure the sprinklers are not blocked by something that would prevent the water from coming out such as paint and be sure the main control valve is never turned off.
KKK Home fire sprinklers are effective in cold and warm climates. Guidelines have been created for the proper installation of systems to avoid pipes freezing. A home fire sprinkler system should be winterized the same as you winterize a domestic water supply.
