PURPOSE OF HUNTER’S PARK 

COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION 

Hunter’s Park Community Association handles the 

financial and legal affairs of the subdivision. Each lot 

owner is required to pay an annual maintenance fee 

which is used to pay street lights; pay taxes on and 

maintain the common areas, such as the swimming 

pools, tennis courts, etc.; pay for security; and pay legal 

expenses incurred to enforce the deed restrictions. 

The Board meets every month at 6:30 p.m. in 

the meeting room at the community building. Residents 

are welcome to attend. Anyone wishing to 

place an item on the agenda should call the HPCA 

office in advance. 

The Annual Meeting of Members is held on the 

4th Thursday of January. 

Members hold three year staggered terms and are 

elected. The election process is as follows: 

1) Mail in ballots will be mailed out with the Annual 

Maintenance fee statements. 

2) Voting in person will begin on the 1st Monday 

after the Annual Meeting ending on the following 

Saturday at 7pm.

Community Association. Copies of the restrictions 

are available at the association’s office or by mail 

(call 281 463-1216). Complaint forms are included 

in every Bear Creek Newsletter for your convenience. 

The association’s office verifies complaints and writes 

letters to violators. HPCA will initiate legal action 

when warranted, to enforce the deed restrictions. 

ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL 

You must submit any plans for improvements or 

modifications of your home to the Hunter’s Park 

Community Association Office. Your plans will be 

checked to insure that they comply with the deed 

restrictions. This includes re-roofing, playforts (8 

ft. height limit), temporary storage buildings, etc. 

Please call the office at 281 463-1216 if you need 

any additional help or assistance. 

SECURITY 

Hunter’s Park Community Association provides 

additional security currently through a contract 

with Commissioners Court for four Harris County 

Constables. HPCA also hires off-duty deputies on 

an as-needed basis for additional coverage. 

Please call the Constable’s Office at 281 463-6666 

to report any suspicious person, activity or for vacation 

watch. There is a voluntary $2.00 security 

contribution on the M.U.D. #6 water bill that goes to 

each homeowner. The voluntary contributions can 

only be used to pay for security. This contribution 

enables HPCA to provide more coverage without 

raising maintenance fees.

KEEP BEAR CREEK BEAUTIFUL! 

Homeowners and residents, please store your polycarts, recycle bins

day as pickup. Let’s keep our neighborhood beautiful! 

GARDENING TIPS FOR NOVEMBER 

• Brown patch will continue to plague St. Augustine lawns as nights get cooler and humidity and rain 

continue. Discolored circles will appear in low areas almost overnight. Apply a fungicide recommended 

for brown patch according to label directions. Avoid walking through brown-patched turf. It spreads 

easily from the bottom of your shoes. If brown patch appears in the same lawn areas every year, add 

an inch or two of sandy topsoil to eliminate those low spots. 

• Fertilize St. Augustine turf with a winterizing formula to promote root growth over the winter months. 

Lower your lawn mover blades now and mow on a schedule that cuts no more than one-third of the 

grass blade away. 

• As chrysanthemums and other perennials finish blooming, cut flowering stalks to the ground to 

permit all strength to be used in making root growth. 

• Feed roses lightly, but avoid nitrogen fertilizers. Do not prune now. Keep up spraying program and 

water deeply. 

• Remove dead foliage and plant debris to help eradicate insects and disease organisms. Thin out and 

transfer volunteer seedlings. Beds made now will benefit by weathering before being planted. If soil 

is heavy, dig six inches deep, leave rough, cover with gymsum and strawy manure, water and allow 

to mellow. 

• Bananas are more likely to bear fruit if the trunk does not die back in winter. Cut banana stalks back 

to six feet, wrap with newspaper and burlap. 

• Continue mulching for winter. Build up a thick top mulch to protect roots from freezing and winter 

drying. Don’t throw away those pine tree needles; they make great acidic mulch for azaleas, gardenias 

and next Spring’s impatiens. 

• Place pansies in beds after weather has cooled. Use a little blood meat mixed in soil under each plant. 

• Now is the best time to plant trees and shrubs.

BARKING DOGS 

If you have a problem with a neighbor’s dog constantly barking, you 

should first contact the pet owner and make them aware of the problem. 

In the event that doesn’t work, you should then contact the Constables 

at 281-463-6666 to file a complaint. 

LOOSE OR LOST PETS & DOG BITES 

Contact Harris County Animal Control at 281-999-3191 or 3194. 

LEASH LAW 

Animals that are not properly restrained pose a threat to all our residents. 

While you may know your pet is friendly, an animal running at someone 

who is walking by is very scary for that person. Many children are afraid 

of animals and become frightened, which could result in the child getting 

hurt trying to avoid the animal. 

Harris County Animal Control advises, “All dogs and cats must be kept 

under restraint while in the unincorporated areas of Harris County, Texas. 

The custodian of a dog or cat is not authorized to have, harbor or keep 

any unlicensed dog or cat nor to allow any dog or cat to become a stray.” 

Restraint is defined as “the control of a dog or cat under the following 

circumstances: 

1. When it is controlled by a line or leash not more than six (6) feet in 

length, if the line or leash is held by a human being, who is capable of 

controlling or governing the dog or cat in question 

2. When it is within a fully enclosed vehicle 

3. When it is on the premise of the custodian and the animal does not 

have access to sidewalk or street.” 

While it may be nice to have your animal out in the yard while you work 

or play, it is against the law, unless the animal is properly restrained. 

Let’s all help keep our community a safe and comfortable place for all 

our residents by being responsible pet owners. This will not only protect 

anyone who may be walking or bicycling in the area, but also the pet 

owner who could be held legally responsible or possibly sued for failing 

to properly restrain their pet. 

Please remember that cats fall under the same laws as dogs and must 

be licensed and kept restrained when not on the premises of the owner. 

We’ve been told that spreading moth balls in flower beds might keep 

cats away. 

To make a complaint or report an animal that is not properly restrained 

please contact:

ABOUT VETERANS DAY 

Veterans Day is observed every year on November 11 th . Veterans Day 

was originally called “Armistice Day” when President Woodrow Wilson 

proclaimed this day in November 1919. Armistice is when warring 

parties agree to stop fighting and “Armistice Day” recognizes the end 

of World War 1 when hostilities ceased on November 11 th at 11 AM, 

1918 (11 th hour, of the 11 th , of the 11 th month). 

On May 13, 1938 Armistice Day was declared a legal holiday each year. 

A day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace. Originally Armistice 

Day only honored veterans of World War. 

On November 11, 1947 Raymond Weeks, a World War II veteran, organized 

a “National Veterans Day” parade in Birmingham, Alabama 

to recognize veterans of all wars. 

This celebration led to Congress changing Armistice Day to Veterans 

Day in 1954 to recognize Veterans of all U.S. wars. 


MILITARY FAMILY APPRECIATION MONTH 

Military Family Month was established in 1996 by the Armed Services 

YMCA, with the U.S. Government recognizing the occasion every year 

since. Each November, the President signs a proclamation declaring 

November Military Family Month and with hundreds of thousands of 

service members deployed overseas, recognizing the daily sacrifices 

made by military families has never been more important.

“This picture was taken up on a tall trianglar wooden 45’ radar 

tower. I am black haired fellow on right. I had just turned 19. Fire 

Support Base Gela took two assaults by Viet Cong (VC) and were repelled 

both times. The first assault occurred on Mother’s Day 1969 

and the other was in the summer sometime. The fellow in the middle 

Is Dan McIntyre of Rifle, Co. We were both wounded together 

on Oct 31st at our next Fire Support Base, Apollo, named for the 

first moon landing by man in July 17, 1969. Those were the days… 

youth spent in some incredible intense times. The Greatest Generation 

is anybody who has served in the combat arms in war time, 

not just WWII veterans!!”

HARVEY 

By Cheryl Conley, TWRC Wildlife Center 

Just as Hurricane Harvey displaced thousands of people, Harvey 

also displaced thousands of wild animals. Compassionate residents 

have brought birds, snakes, squirrels and even an alligator to TWRC 

Wildlife Center for care. 

Although there is no way of knowing the actual number of animals 

affected, the numbers are, no doubt, very high. It is human nature 

to want to help these animals but in some cases, it is better to 

leave them alone. 

• DEER - Many deer were forced to move to higher ground. People 

are seeing deer in their yards, in the streets and other areas with 

dry land. It is for your own safety that you do not try to catch these 

animals. Make sure that gates are open so they have a way to exit 

your yard. Sadly, there’s nothing else you can do. 

• ALLIGATORS AND SNAKES - It seems silly that we would have to 

warn people to stay away from them but sometimes curiosity gets 

the best of people. Keep your distance. If you need help identifying 

a snake to find out if it’s venomous, call us and we can help. We can 

also refer you to a professional who can assist with the removal of 

snakes. For help with alligators, we recommend you call your Game 

Warden. To find the Game Warden for your area, go to the Texas 

Parks and Wildlife website. 

It is baby squirrel season right now and in the case of these animals, 

your intervention may be needed. If you find a baby, you will first 

need to try to reunite the baby with its mother. You can do this 

by placing the baby in a small container near the area where you 

found it. Make sure the container is safe from dogs and cats. Watch 

to see if mom comes to get her little one. If, after a couple of hours, 

the mom has not returned, you will need to intervene. The most 

important thing is to keep the baby warm. You can accomplish by 

placing the baby in a box along with a soft cloth and place the box 


Chances are very low that you will encounter any other wildlife 

babies at this time of the year. You may encounter injured adult 

raccoons, opossums and birds, however. We advise that you do 

not try to rescue these animals. Their intention is not to hurt you 

but they may bite or scratch because they are afraid. 

If you have questions about wildlife, we are available from 10 AM to 

2 PM to help you. Before attempting to rescue an animal and before 

bringing it in to us, we suggest you give us a call first. After hours, 

our website can provide you with many answers. 

Thank you for your support during this difficult time.

IMPORTANT DATES 

November 1 st - 3 rd Six Weeks begins (Secondary) 

November 20 th - Thanksgiving Break Begins 

November 29 th - Family Night (No Homework Assigned) 

KATY ISD LOST INSTRUCTIONAL TIME 

As many families and staff continue recovery efforts in our neighborhoods, 

homes and community, we are also slowly but surely getting 

back on track with the business of teaching and learning across Katy ISD 

campuses. As you know, our students lost two weeks of instructional 

time as a result of Tropical Storm Harvey. However, because the Texas 

Education Agency (TEA) will be waiving up to 10 instructional days, 

there will be no need to extend the 2017-18 instructional calendar 

or to modify the Thanksgiving, Christmas/winter and spring breaks. 

Our Curriculum Department has worked diligently over the past few 

weeks to realign and restructure the curriculum unit plans to ensure 

that all state standards will be taught this school year. As such, there 

will be no gaps in the taught and tested curriculum. 

Also, to ensure that our students receive the full benefits of the Katy 

ISD learning experience, we have identified means to regain lost instructional 

time to deliver additional support to students. This includes 

providing enrichment resources for our families, supplementary study 

opportunities for Advanced Placement (AP) students and extending 

four early release days to full days of instruction. 

Support for Advanced Placement (AP) Students: 

Additional study opportunities will also be offered to students preparing 

for the May 2018 AP exams. Review sessions and resources 

are currently being developed and will be shared with students and 

published on the website later this Fall. 

Extending Four Early Release Days: 

The 2017-2018 instructional calendar included six “early release” days 

that are typically designated for professional development, teacher 

preparation and parent conferences. Four of the previously designated 

early release days (Oct. 9 th , 20 th , Feb 16 th , April 13 th ) were/will be 

extended to full instructional days. This is designed to allow students 

more time in the classroom, as well as to serve the needs of so many 

of our families who are displaced by Harvey and depending, now more 

than ever, on the daily routine of school to bring a sense of normalcy 

to their child(ren)’s lives. We understand that October 9 th and 20 th had 

been set aside for parent/teacher conferences at many campuses. 

However, in lieu of the in-person conferences, parents are encouraged 

to communicate with teachers by email and/or phone. Parents should 

also continue to monitor their student’s progress on the Home Access 

Center. Friday, December 15 th and Thursday, May 24 th will remain 

“early release” days since final exams are given on those dates. 

Thank you for your understanding as we move forward with these 

post-Harvey initiatives to recapture lost instructional time and to 

provide additional support to our students and families. Should you 

have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your school. 

Enrichment Resources for Families: 

Online instructional enrichment activities developed by our Curriculum 

Department are available for parents or guardians to work with their 

child(ren) at home. These enhanced learning activities are ungraded 

and optional and are available on the Katy ISD Curriculum & Instruction 

website. Each core subject area will be covered for the remainder of 

the school year. These subjects include language arts, mathematics, 

science and social studies.

“I’m In PAIN” 

Can Chiropractic Help ME ? 

We are often asked, “What’s the best way of finding out whether or not a doctor 

of chiropractic can help my problem?” 

We believe the answer can be found in a complete chiropractic consultation and examination, 

including x-rays. And to help find out for sure, we will do a complete consultation 

and examination, including x-rays, if necessary, 

(procedures that normally cost $187.00 or more) for $25.00. 

We will make this special program available through November. 

The only exception to the offer involves personal injury cases (workers’ compensation 

and auto accidents) in which there is no charge directly to the patient. 

Reg. $ 187.00 Program 

Must present ad at time of appointment. 


YOUR INITIAL VISIT WILL INCLUDE: 

✓ A private consultation with the doctor. 

✓ X-rays, if necessary. 

✓ A thorough spinal examination including 

orthopedic & neurological test. 

✓ A confidential report of our findings. 

✓An explanation of our treatment procedure 

if we determine chiropractic can help you. 

✓A REFERRAL TO THE PROPER SPECIALIST IF WE 

DETERMINE CHIROPRACTIC CAN’T HELP YOU.

fruits -melons, apples, take a long walk, eat a whole-grain breakfast

vegetables, avoid white grains and choose whole grains, gravy 

on the side, fresh baked potatoes vs. mashed, WATER!

piece of dessert - key is small!

NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM 

The Benefits of Flood Insurance Versus Disaster Assistance 

FLOOD INSURANCE 

• You are in control. Flood insurance claims are paid even 

if a disaster is not declared by the President. 

• More than 20 percent of NFIP claims come from outside 

of mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas. 

• There is no payback requirement. 

• Flood insurance policies are continuous and are not 

non-renewed or canceled for repeat losses. 

• Flood insurance reimburses you for all covered building losses up to 

$250,000 for residential occupancies and up to $500,000 for businesses. 

Contents coverage is also available up to $100,000 for residential 

occupancies and up to $500,000 for businesses. 

• The average cost of a flood insurance policy is about $600 annually. 

The cost of a preferred risk policy is less than $200 annually, if you live 

in a moderate-to-low-risk area. 

DISASTER ASSISTANCE 

• Most forms of Federal disaster assistance require 

a Presidential declaration. 

• Federal disaster assistance declarations are not awarded 

in all flooding incidents. 

• The most typical form of disaster assistance 

is a loan that must be repaid with interest. 

• The duration of a Small Business Administration (SBA) 

disaster home loan could extend to 30 years. 

• The average Individuals and Households Program award for Presidential 

disaster declarations related to flooding in 2008 was less than $4,000. 

• Repayment on a $50,000 SBA disaster home loan is $240 a month or 

$2,880 annually at 4 percent interest. 

For more information about the NFIP and flood insurance, call 1-800- 

427-4661 or contact your insurance company or agent. For an agent 

referral, call 1-888-435-6637 or go to www.floodsmart.gov.

Extra Broth For Thinning 

1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs 

by Ree | The Pioneer Woman 

Holidays, Thanksgiving 

Preparation 

Cook pasta until not quite done - al dente according to package instructions (it will 

finish cooking in the oven.) Drain, rinse, and set aside. 

In a large pot, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute for a couple of 

minutes. Add mushrooms and salt, then saute for a couple more minutes. Pour in the 

wine and allow it to cook with the mushrooms for several minutes, or until the liquid 

reduces by half. 

Sprinkle in flour, then stir the mushrooms around for another minute. Pour in the 

broth and stir, cooking for another few minutes until the roux thickens. 

Reduce heat to medium low. Cut cream cheese into pieces and add it to the pot. Stir 

it to melt (don't be concerned if the cream cheese remains in little bits for awhile; 

it'll melt eventually!) Add the leftover turkey, the olives, the peas, the bacon, and the 

cheeses. Stir to combine, adding salt and pepper as needed. 

Add the cooked spaghetti and stir it to combine. Splash in more broth as needed; you 

want the mixture to have a little extra moisture since it will cook off in the oven. If it's 

a little soupy, that's fine! Add up to 2 more cups of liquid if you think it needs it. 

Pour the mixture into a large baking dish and sprinkle the top with Panko crumbs. 

Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the crumbs 

are golden brown.
