I bet your parents and grandparents did as well. FD Chipper Day...... 5 Drinking Water Report...... 6-8 In the decade of the 60’s, Texas was crawling out from under years of drought, and with eager anticipation, the old folks (and by old National Night Out...... 9 folks, I mean ladies and gentlemen about my age and older) would consult the Almanac in the hope that summer would be cool and Dining Out Group...... 10 wet. It almost never was. It seemed that the sky was always clear Shavano Park Women's Club...... 10 to Midland, and the asphalt generally got hot enough to fry eggs in the mid to late afternoon. Of course, the summer heat never Independence Day...... 11-12 discouraged the young from going barefoot. By summer’s end, barefoot boys and girls across America had souls enriched by Classifieds...... 12 another season of endless evenings, and the leather like soles that How to Prevent Mosquitoes...... 13 only childhood offers. Neighborhood Watch...... 14-15 For children, there were so many rich new experiences and so little time to fully appreciate each of them. For example, how many of IMPORTANT DATES us appreciated how the critters changed from summer to summer. Yes, there were “toad floater” rains when we realized never seeing so • July 2- Independence Day Celebration, 10-2p.m. many toads before and the years when crickets and cicadas arrived in Biblical quantities, but so many of the critters simply arrived and • July 6 - Planning & Zoning left unnoticed.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We are responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but we cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Information about Source Water Assessments The TCEQ completed an assessment of our source water and results indicate that some of your sources are susceptible to certain contaminants. The sampling requirements for our water system are based on this susceptibility and previous sample data. Any detections of these contaminants may be found in this Consumer Confident Report. This information describes the susceptibility and types of constituents that may come into contact with your drinking water source based on human activities and natural conditions. The information contained in the assessment allows us to focus source water protection strategies.

For more information about your sources of water, please refer to the Source Water Assessment Viewer available at the following URL: http://gis3.tceq.state.tx.us/swav/Controller/index.jsp?wtrsrc=

Neighborhood WATCH News Neighborhood WATCH Partners with Law Enforcement for a Safe Community TAKE A STAND AGAINST CRIME – Join Neighborhood WATCH Submitted by Etta Fanning, Coordinator Neighborhood WATCH

Use Common Sense to Spot a Con Artist It’s not always easy to spot con artists. They are smart, persuasive, and aggressive. They invade your home through the telephone, the Internet, the mail, newspapers, and they KNOCK ON YOUR DOOR. They’re well mannered, friendly, and helpful. Most people think they are too smart to fall for a scam. But con artists rob all kinds of people. They look for easy targets. Many cons choose to victimize seniors.

(In Shavano Park, solicitors [where permitted] need a permit).

You Can Protect Yourself • Never give a caller your credit card, phone card, Social Security or bank account number over the phone. • Beware of 900 numbers. If you call a 900 number you’ll pay for the call. • Take your time and get a second opinion. • Stay informed --- Join NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH to be on the contact list for crime, vandalism or concerns for your area. (Contact: [email protected]). • Remember—you have the right, the ability, and the power to say no!

Be a Wise Consumer • Don’t buy health products or treatments that promise a quick and dramatic cure. • Be wary of emails promising “free” vacations, foreign lotteries, work at home offers, get rich quick investments and other schemes that ask for donations to charities you’ve never heard of.
