PURPOSE OF HUNTER’S PARK<br />
COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION<br />
Hunter’s Park Community Association handles the<br />
financial and legal affairs of the subdivision. Each<br />
lot owner is required to pay an annual maintenance<br />
fee which is used to pay street lights; pay taxes on<br />
and maintain the common areas, such as the swimming<br />
pools, tennis courts, etc.; pay for security; and<br />
pay legal expenses incurred to enforce the deed<br />
restrictions.<br />
The Board meets every other month at 6:30<br />
p.m. in the meeting room at the community building.<br />
Residents are welcome to attend. Anyone wishing to<br />
place an item on the agenda should call the HPCA<br />
office in advance.<br />
The Annual Meeting of Members is held on the<br />
4th Thursday of January.<br />
Members hold three year staggered terms and are<br />
elected. The election process is as follows:<br />
1) Mail in ballots will be mailed out with the Annual<br />
Maintenance fee statements.<br />

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL<br />
You must submit any plans for improvements or<br />
modifications of your home to the Hunter’s Park<br />
Community Association Office. Your plans will be<br />
checked to insure that they comply with the deed<br />
restrictions. This includes re-roofing, playforts (8<br />
ft. height limit), temporary storage buildings, etc.<br />
Please call the office at 281 463-1216 if you need<br />
any additional help or assistance.<br />
SECURITY<br />
Hunter’s Park Community Association provides<br />
additional security currently through a contract<br />
with Commissioners Court for four Harris County<br />
Constables. HPCA also hires off-duty deputies on<br />
an as-needed basis for additional coverage.<br />
Please call the Constable’s Office at 281 463-6666<br />
to report any suspicious person, activity or for vacation<br />
watch. There is a voluntary $2.00 security<br />
contribution on the M.U.D. #6 water bill that goes to<br />
each homeowner. The voluntary contributions can<br />
only be used to pay for security. This contribution<br />
enables HPCA to provide more coverage without<br />
raising maintenance fees.<br />

LEASH LAW<br />
Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. While<br />
you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone who is walking<br />
by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid of animals and become<br />
frightened, which could result in the child getting hurt trying to avoid the animal.<br />
Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept under restraint<br />
while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. The custodian of a dog<br />
or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep any unlicensed dog or cat nor to<br />
allow any dog or cat to become a stray.”<br />
Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following circumstances:<br />
1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in length, if the<br />
line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable of controlling or governing<br />
the dog or cat in question<br />
2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle<br />
3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not have access<br />
to sidewalk or street.”<br />
While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work or play, it<br />
is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained.<br />
Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all our residents<br />
by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect anyone who may be<br />
walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet owner who could be held legally<br />
responsible or possibly sued for failing to properly restrain their pet.<br />
Please remember that cats fall under the same laws as dogs and must be licensed<br />
and kept restrained when not on the premises of the owner. We’ve been told that<br />
spreading moth balls in flower beds might keep cats away.<br />
To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly restrained please contact:<br />

KATY ISD BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES<br />
<strong>2016</strong>-2017 ATTENDANCE BOUNDARY<br />
MODIFICATION<br />
The Katy ISD Board of Trustees voted to approve an attendance<br />
boundary modification (ABM) designed to address the opening<br />
of three new campuses and alleviate overcrowding at campuses<br />
landlocked with 125 percent capacity. This ABM will provide muchneeded<br />
relief to Rylander and West Memorial elementary schools,<br />
as well as, balance enrollment as the District prepares to open<br />
two elementary schools and one junior high next school year.<br />

During this entire process, the District welcomed feedback from<br />
the community through an online survey. Nearly 9,000 parents,<br />
staff and community members completed the survey and dozens<br />
shared their feedback during the open forum at various<br />
Board meetings. These comments helped shape the ABM and<br />
addressed major needs and concerns cited by parents and community.<br />
The District presented to the Board a preliminary ABM<br />
proposal on November 16 th and then an updated option on December<br />
7 th to better address the overcrowding at West Memorial<br />
Elementary. The Board approved the updated ABM option on<br />
December 14 th . The District estimates that approximately 3,600<br />
students will be impacted by the approved attendance boundary<br />
modifications. Katy ISD will be notifying all impacted families in<br />
January/<strong>February</strong> <strong>2016</strong>. For more information about the ABM<br />
process, including maps of the approved attendance boundary<br />
modifications, visit the District’s ABM webpage.<br />

Fame. Coach Joseph, along with eight other inductees, were announced<br />
on Saturday, December 19 th at NRG Stadium. Coach Joseph began his<br />
coaching career at Luling High School 37 years ago. After advancing<br />
in jobs at Brazosport and Austin Westlake, he then moved to Katy High<br />
School, where he has served for 33 years. He was the KHS defensive<br />
coordinator and then assistant head coach for 22 years before becoming<br />
the KHS head coach in 2004. During his tenure as head coach, he<br />
has led the Katy Tigers to eight state final games with three of those<br />
appearances resulting in 6A State Championships. His current coaching<br />
record stands at 167-14.<br />
While individual and team accolades are greatly appreciated and<br />
honored, Coach Joseph also strives to build a strong group of student<br />
athletes who recognize, through the actions of their head coach, the<br />
necessity for integrity, loyalty and the value of leading oneself and<br />
others through life’s victories with humility and hardships with grace.<br />

You are invited to St. Cuthbert Episcopal Church’s Shrove Tuesday<br />
Pancake Supper on <strong>February</strong> 9 th from 5:30-7 PM. We will eat<br />
pancakes and play bingo! Shrove Tuesday originated during the<br />
Middle Ages. Food items like meats, fats, eggs, milk and fish were<br />
regarded as restricted during Lent. To keep such food from being<br />
wasted, many families would have big feasts on Shrove Tuesday.<br />
The English tradition of eating pancakes on Shrove Tuesday came<br />
about as a way to use as much milk, fats and eggs as possible<br />
before Ash Wednesday began. In France, the consumption of all<br />
fats and fatty foods on this day coined the name “Fat Tuesday”<br />
or Mardi Gras.<br />
Sharing Our Story Lenten Program - All are invited to St. Cuthbert<br />

Cornerstone United Methodist Church has<br />
partnered with Fiest Elementary School<br />
to provide assistance to disadvantaged<br />
students attending this elementary school<br />
located. More than 50% of the students<br />
attending the school are classified as “below<br />
the poverty level.” In order to assure<br />
that these students have the school supplies<br />
they need, the “Friends of Fiest” at<br />
Cornerstone have established a “Cornerstone<br />
Closet for Fiest.” This is an ongoing<br />
project whereby a stockpile of supplies is<br />
maintained so that when students deplete<br />
their initial supply and families cannot afford<br />
to replenish their needs, teachers can<br />
draw from the stockpile in the “Closet” to<br />
provide needed items. Currently the most<br />
needed items are composition books,<br />
pencils, glue sticks and facial tissue. Contributions<br />
can be dropped off in the church<br />
office or placed in the “Closet for Fiest”<br />
bend in the lobby of the worship center.<br />
All contributions are welcomed.<br />

this year on <strong>February</strong> 7 th .<br />
Here are some FOOD tips<br />
that may TRIM the waistline<br />
on this traditionally food fest<br />
football fun-day:<br />
1. Create a Food Free<br />
space: Keeping snacks in another<br />
room will help everyone<br />
save calories. Plus not having<br />
the bowl of chips in front of the<br />
TV will curb mindless eating.<br />
2. Low-cal foods first: Instead<br />
of bringing out the chicken wings right away, offer lowercalorie<br />
foods during the first half of the game, such as a spread<br />
of fresh veggies and a lightened-up dip.<br />
3. Give classic recipes a healthy twist: Use nonfat Greek<br />
yogurt in place of sour cream for dips. Cook Buffalo-marinated<br />
chicken tenders instead of chicken wings: you’ll still get that<br />
finger-licking yumminess while slashing your intake of saturated<br />
fat and sodium. And skip the local pizza delivery; instead, set up<br />
stations for everyone to make his/her own healthier and tastier<br />
pizza at home.<br />
4. Downsize your dishes. Downsize serving bowls from large<br />
to medium. Serve up the tortilla chips in a medium bowl rather<br />
than a large one. Same goes for the guacamole: serve that in<br />
a small bowl.<br />
5. Be drink aware: choose taller skinny glasses instead of short<br />
wide ones. Bigger tip: serve only what your kiddo can enjoy!<br />

CHINESE NEW YEAR FEBRUARY 8 TH !<br />
An estimated 1.4 billion people around the world will be celebrating<br />
the New Year on <strong>February</strong> 8, <strong>2016</strong>.<br />
Chinese New Year, also known as the Lunar New Year, starts on<br />
the night of the second new moon of the winter solstice and ends<br />
15 days later on the night of the full moon. During Chinese New<br />
Year, families gather to enjoy delicious foods and to wish each<br />
other good luck in the year ahead. Children are often given red<br />
envelopes filled with coins, though the money inside is not as<br />
important as the color and symbol found on the envelopes, which<br />
signifies happiness and good blessings.<br />
Each year, the New Year celebration is associated with an astrological<br />
animal. <strong>2016</strong> is the year of the Red Monkey, also known<br />
as the Fire Monkey. People born in the year of the Monkey are<br />
said to be wise, intelligent, confident, charismatic, loyal, inventive<br />
and have leadership, according to Your Chinese Astrology.<br />

MARDI GRAS <strong>2016</strong>!<br />
MARDI GRAS -<br />
FUN FACTS:<br />
WOULD YOU BELIEVE?<br />
• More than 500,000 king cakes are<br />
sold each year in New Orleans between<br />
January 6 th and Fat Tuesday<br />
and another 50,000 are shipped<br />
out-of-state via overnight courier.<br />
• The king cakes include a tiny plastic<br />
baby doll inside; the person who finds the doll is declared<br />
“king” and must buy the next cake or give the next party.<br />
26 <strong>February</strong> <strong>2016</strong> <strong>Bear</strong>creek
• The metro area’s 37,000-plus hotel rooms<br />
are traditionally 95% filled during Mardi Gras<br />
weekend.<br />
• An economic impact study released by the<br />
University of New Orleans estimates that Mardi<br />
Gras generates over $840 million annually.<br />
• The largest of about one dozen Mardi Gras<br />
supply houses in New Orleans sells an estimated<br />
one billion pairs of beads for a Mardi<br />
Gras season.<br />
• The super parades of Endymion and Bacchus,<br />
scheduled for the Saturday and Sunday before<br />
Fat Tuesday, feature a combined total of 67 floats,<br />
60 marching bands and more than 250 units.<br />
Their 4,200 members toss more than 1.5 million<br />
cups, 2.5 million doubloons and millions of beads.<br />
• One of the most photographed objects in all<br />
of Mardi Gras is the Boeuf Gras float in the Rex<br />
parade. Since the Middle Ages, the bouef gras<br />
(fatted bull) has been the symbol of the last meat<br />
eaten before Lent. While once a live bull was<br />
included in the procession, now a huge papiermache’<br />
figure appears.<br />
• The five truck parades that follow the krewes<br />
of Rex, Argus and Grela on Fat Tuesday feature<br />
more than 350 decorated flatbeds with nearly<br />
15,000 costumed maskers aboard.<br />

Valentine’s Day is just one day on <strong>February</strong> 14 th . Why not make<br />
it Valentine’s Day each and every day by making those you love<br />
feel extra special, including yourself. Here’s how:<br />
1. Create & share a vision of your dream life together. Make the<br />
fulfillment of your short term and long term needs the criteria<br />
for choosing a partner and being in a relationship.<br />
2. Accept your partner just as they are. Your partner is a special<br />
person - the only one in the world like them, with their own<br />
wonderful traits and unique gifts. They are entitled to their own<br />
decisions, hobbies, goals and hopes.<br />
3. Be generous and loving in all your dealings with your partner.<br />
Give unconditionally, rather than wanting something back in<br />
return. Instead, commit 100% to doing things for your partner<br />
and with zero expectation.<br />
4. Always have integrity. Commit to tell your partner the total<br />
truth, as honesty is one of the key things people want in a relationship.<br />
Knowing they can trust you builds a zone of safety<br />
and comfort around them.<br />
5. Resolve your differences as soon as they happen. Conflict<br />
actually fuels a genuinely passionate partnership. So accept responsibility<br />
for your part of the issue at stake and do not blame<br />
your partner.<br />
6. Do not criticize. It is ok to complain but not criticize. Your<br />
partner is doing the best they can – support them in becoming<br />
an even better person. NEVER put your partner down in front<br />
of other people.<br />
7. Create a haven for your partner. Make them feel so safe<br />
and secure with you that they drop all their defensiveness. Be<br />
considerate of your partner’s feelings and treat them with the<br />
utmost care and kindness.<br />
8. Let go of the past. All relationships have their difficulties. Remember<br />
only the lessons learnt and forget the details. Weather<br />
the stormy moments and savor the memory of sunny days.<br />
9. Have a fun date with your partner regularly and often. Give<br />
the relationship the same commitment you made when you first<br />
met - simply put each other first!<br />
