NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH BLOCKLEADERS NEEDED!

Neighborhood Watch programs are themost effective and least costly way toprevent crime in a community. BlockLeaders relay information to people ontheir street about meetings and incidents toall residents. They help neighbors whencriminal activity happens on their street ornearby. They look out for families andproperty, alert suspicious activities or crimeto police and work together with others tomake their community asafer and better place tolive. If any of this soundsinteresting to you, send ane-mail to Sue Montoya,RC Neighborhood WatchCoordinator.

Town Hall (continued from front cover)

The Board of Directors will be adding the slides from Jessica’s presentation to ourwebsite, but notably, these are some new facts she shared with us that updatesWildlife Information on our website:

●Previously, Biological Carrying Capacity was the method to determine suitablehabitat. Biological carrying capacity is an equilibrium between the availability ofhabitat and the number of animals of a given species the habitat can support overtime. Factors such as available food, water, cover, prey and predator species willaffect biological carrying capacity. Now, Social Carrying Capacity is utilized, andis defined as the maximum number of deer that can coexist compatibly with localhuman populations.

● The City of New Braunfels recently contracted a study of the Comal River and DryComal Creek waters for ecoli bacteria. It was found that 60% of this bacteria in thewater derived from deer, hogs, and water fowl.

●Supplemental feeding poses a serious problem fordeer in developing abscesses because of eating onhard surfaces that are not typical for deer when foraging.

●Ms Alderson stressed that successful managementprograms build a consensus of homeowners.

Architectural Control Committee | Did You Know?

All residents and property owners share a common interest in thepreservation of property values in our River Crossing development.Our Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (DCCR)are designed to ensure and support these values for ALL propertyowners and residents. Administering the architectural standards andthe application/approval process are tasks performed by ourArchitectural Control Committee (ACC).

Aside from stopping residents from painting pink polka dots on theirhouses, the job of the volunteers on the ACC is to make sure thatthe size and style of the project, the type of building materials beingused and the overall look of the new structure follow theAssociation’s design requirements. Not only does this keep River Crossing looking cohesive, but alsothe review of new home construction and improvements helps to keep property values up by preventingindividual structures from standing out.

While the ACC reviews and approves projects, residents may not be aware that it is the POA Boardwho enforces the DCCRs. In the end, all of these volunteers are simply looking out for our communityso that our properties do not diminish in value.

Not Just Attracting, But Supporting Butterflies Throughout Their Lives

Attracting butterflies involves incorporating plants that serve the needs of all life stages of the butterfly.The insects need safe places to lay eggs, food plants (host plants) for their larvae (caterpillars), placesto form chrysalides and rich sources of nectar for adults.

Each species of caterpillar (the larval form of butterflies and moths) feeds on specific and differentplants all referred to as “host plants.” These plants are also where adult butterflies lay their eggs.Caterpillars are very specific about what they will eat though – often to the point of feeding only on onefamily of plants.

Host Plants:

Adult butterflies feed on fluid called “nectar” that is made by flowering plants. Nectar is mainly made upof carbohydrates (sugars) and water; however, the concentration of sugars varies across plantspecies. Small amounts of other chemicals can also be found. Since nectar composition can vary fromplant species to plant species, different plants may be attractive to different species. By planting avariety of nectar plants that are attractive to butterflies, you may encourage a greater variety ofbutterflies to visit your garden.

Common Nectar Plants:● Texas native perennial favorites include: Lantana, Purple coneflower, Prairie Verbena, Frogfruit,

Monarda, Milkweed (Green or Antelope Horns), Salvias & Sages, Gregg's Blue Mistflower, LateBlooming Boneset, Liatris, Ironweed, Yarrow, Turk's cap, Fall Aster, Goldenrod, Phlox,Frostweed, Purple Prairie Clover, Coreopsis, Flame Acanthas, Coral Honeysuckle, MaximilianSunflowers

● Texas native annual favorites include: American Basket Flower, Cypress Vine, Sunflowers*,Brown Eyed Susan, Clammyweed, Partridge Pea, Texas thistle, Indian Blanket, Cutleaf Daisy,Barbara's Buttons, Cowpen Daisy

● Texas native small trees: Kidneywood, Redbud, Buttonbush, Mexican Plum, Rusty BlackhawViburnum

● Non-native favorites: Butterfly Bush, Pentas, Mints, Gomphrena, Zinnia, Mexican Sunflower,Autumn Joy Sedum

While butterflies do not drink from birdbaths or other water features, a mud puddle will be visited by males.Consider a puddling area. Sun is also a critical element for butterflies. Developing a garden specifically forbutterflies is easy, entertaining and can provide hours of enjoying the colorful acrobatic jewels.

Ah Choo!Did the oak pollen cause problems for you? Did you

know, that just like people, pets can suffer from allergies,too? While humans tear, cough, and sneeze their waythrough allergy season, pets usually deal with allergiesdifferently.

Dr. Adam Patterson, a clinical associate professorand chief of dermatology at the Texas A&M College ofVeterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, said everyanimal has a different reaction to allergies, just as peoplerespond to allergies differently. However, most animals display itch as a hallmark sign ofallergic skin disease. An itch may be manifested as licking, chewing, biting, rubbing,scratching, head shaking, and/or scooting. Allergens that most commonly irritate petsinclude fleas, pollen, molds, mites, insects, danders, and food.

If your pet shows any sign of an allergy, it is best to contact your veterinarian sothey can properly diagnose the cause of itch. Your veterinarian can also perform tests todetermine the most effective treatment plan to alleviate your pet’s discomfort.

We all know how annoying allergies can be, so be sure to keep an eye on your petthis allergy season. If your pet shows any sign of an allergic skin disease, visit yourveterinarian to help alleviate your pet’s discomfort. Source: TAMU Pet Talk

What is an Urban Wildlife Biologist?As Texas becomes increasingly urban, the need for nature in our cities becomes more and

more critical. Over 86% of the Texas population live in urban areas. The six largest metropolitan areas(Metropolitan Statistical Areas including Houston, San Antonio, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, El Paso,and the lower Rio Grande Valley) combined total over 70% of the state's population. The Texas Parksand Wildlife Department's Urban Wildlife Program has Urban Biologists stationed in the top six areasto provide urban communities with professional planning guidance, management recommendations,research and public outreach associated with wildlife, habitat and natural resource management.Each Urban Wildlife Program office offers public assistance including:

REAL ID ACT | Department of Homeland SecurityThe REAL ID Act establishes minimum security standards for license issuance and production

and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting for certain purposes driver’s licenses and identificationcards from states not meeting the Act’s minimum standards. The purposes covered by the Act are:accessing Federal facilities, entering nuclear power plants, and, boarding federally regulatedcommercial aircraft.

All Texas Driver License Cards and Identification Cards are currently acceptable to use forREAL ID purposes, such as getting into federal buildings and for use to board domestic flights. It isexpected that all documents now issued will remain acceptable until October 1, 2020.

The REAL ID Act is a federal law passed by Congress after 9/11 that establishes specific federalrequirements for state-issued driver license and identity cards to be accepted for certain federalpurposes, like entering a federal building or boarding a domestic flight. Although it was passed in 2005,it will not fully go into effect until 2020.Texas residents will be able to come to a DPS Driver License office with proof of identity, stateresidency, U.S. citizenship or lawful presence in the U.S. and obtain a REAL ID license or ID card whenDPS begins producing the new REAL ID documents on October 10, 2016.

Under the plan submitted to DHS, DPS will issue REAL ID compliant Driver License andIdentification cards: REAL ID DL and ID cards - These cards will be marked with a star and can be usedas the sole ID for domestic flights and to access federal buildings. Texans can continue to use theirstandard licenses until they expire or until October 1, 2020; whichever comes first. Texans can comeinto any DPS office to get REAL ID licenses, before their current licenses expire. If not already on file,Texans will need to present proof of identity, U.S. citizenship or lawful presence in the U.S., and stateresidency to obtain REAL ID compliant cards. Cost will be the same as current cost for a Driver Licenseor Identification Card.

Texas residents holding a non-compliant card after October 1, 2020 will not be able to boarddomestic flights or access federal buildings without secondary proof of identification approved by DHS.

Public Health Office urges action to ‘fight the bite’Increasing rainfall and increasing temperatures mean increasing numbers ofmosquitoes, and the Comal County Office of Public Health is urging residents to “fightthe bite” this spring and help prevent the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses.

Residents can combat the spread of Zika, West Nile and other mosquito-borne virusesby:

● Wearing long-sleeved shirtsand long pants;

● Using EPA-registered insectrepellents;

● Using permethrin-treatedclothing;

● Eliminating standing water onyour property, includingcleaning rain gutters

● Staying and sleeping inscreened-in or air-conditionedrooms; and

●Avoiding or limiting outdooractivities during peak mosquito times.

“Especially with the heavy rain we had last week, there’s still a lot of standing waterthroughout the county,” said Cheryl Fraser, Comal County director of public health.“Mosquitoes can breed in just a capful of water, so we encourage all residents to makesure they dump out any standing water on their property.”

Although Zika virus is active in Texas mosquitoes , no cases have yet been reported inComal County since it arrived in the state in 2016. Nevertheless, residents shouldcontinue to be alert for symptoms and take precautions, especially if pregnant orplanning to become pregnant.

More information about fighting Zika and other mosquito-borne illnesses in ComalCounty can be found at the joint Comal County/City of New Braunfels Zika webpage.
