Message from the BoardAs many residents of Wildhorse already know, VIA

metropolitan transit has sent out a survey to determine the feasibility of establishing bus service on Wildhorse Parkway. The homeowners Association has no jurisdiction over the roads in the subdivision and as such cannot interfere with the plans of VIA or Bexar County. However, it is the responsibility of the Board of Directors to represent the interest of the residents in the association and with input from HOA members, we may have some influence on the plans for Wildhorse. The Board of Directors invites you to voice your concerns in an email to a special address setup for this issue. Please state your concerns as clearly and succinctly as possible so that we may formulate an official position letter to VIA. If you have concerns to voice, please email them to [email protected] to be part of the official HOA response. If you do not have access to email, please feel free to voice your concerns to our property manager, Bob James at 210-494-0659.

SAFety COMMItteeAs the summer months heat up and we have day after day of

hundred degree weather, we need to be aware of the dangers of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. These conditions are serious and require immediate attention.

Heat exhaustion is a warning that the body is getting too hot. The signs that you may be experiencing heat exhaustion can include:

• Slightly elevated body temperature• Clammy, pale skin with sweating• Dry mouth, thirst• Fatigue, weakness, dizziness• Headache• Nausea (vomiting can occur)• Muscle cramps• Weak or rapid pulse

The treatment for heat exhaustion is to move to a cool place, like the shade or indoors, loosen clothing, and drink plenty of water or Gatorade.

Heat stroke can follow heat exhaustion, when the body’s organs start to overheat. If it is not treated, it can lead to death. The signs and symptoms of heat stroke can include:

• Very high body temperature (usually 104 degrees and above)• Hot, dry, red skin with no sweating• Deep breathing and a fast pulse, then shallow breathing and a

weak pulse• Confusion and hallucinations• Convulsions• Loss of consciousness

The treatment for heat stroke is to immediately call 9-1-1. This should be followed by moving to a cool place, removing clothing, and spraying the person with cool water. Place ice packs on the neck, armpits and groin areas. Don’t give fever reducing medicines or use rubbing alcohol.

Please remember that pets can also suffer in extreme heat. Bring your pets indoors and make sure they have plenty of cool water. Have a great and safe summer!!

Keep shades and blinds in their normal positions.Stop mail and newspapers, or ask a neighbor to pick them up every day.Put several household lights on timers so they turn on and off at appropriate times.Arrange to have grass mowed while you're gone.Make sure your door and window locks are in working order-- and use them.Activate your home alarm (if you have one).Leave a radio on--or put it on a timer.Ask a neighbor to park in your driveway overnight, or have them move your vehicles around--anything that might suggest someone's home.And don't forget to lock all doors and windows when you leave.

Home Security tipsBefore you make security improvements to your home,

identify those entry points most likely to be used by a burglar. You can do this by answering the following questions:

Which entrances are hidden or out of view from my neighbors?If I am locked out of my house, where could I get in without too much difficulty?

Every door and window you list in response to these questions should be a number one priority.
