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. 

HPCA Office 

Office Phone: 281 463-1216 

Office Hrs: 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Mon- Fri. 

Closed Weekends and Major Holidays 

HPCA employs three workers to provide coverage for 

the office. Every effort is made to have one of the three 

employees in the office at all times. Occasionally business 

of the association may require us to be out of the office 

for a short period of time. If we are out of the office 

when you call or if you call after hours, please leave a 

message on the answering machine and your calls will 

be returned as soon as possible during office hours.

DEED RESTRICTIONS 

Deed restrictions are strictly enforced by Hunter’s Park 

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.

HARRIS COUNTY 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:

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. 

HARRIS COUNTY ALARM DETAIL 

If your home has an alarm system, you need to obtain a permit to 

avoid the issuance of a citation and excessive false alarm fees. You 

can get a copy of the permit application and review the regulations 

regarding permit requirements at the Harris County Sheriff’s Office 

website. The form can be printed for mailing with the applicable 

fee from the website. For more info, call the Alarm Detail office at 

713-755-4600 during normal business hours. 

STREET LIGHTS OUT? 

Contact Centerpoint Energy at 713-207-2222. You will need to give 

the address where the pole is located and provide the stenciled 

number on the front of the pole. You may also report the outage on 

the website at: www.centerpointenergy.com/outage. 

ECI PROJECT TYKE 

ECI Project TYKE is a year round Early Childhood Intervention program 

(ECI) in the Katy Independent School District that specializes 

in working with children who need extra help. The program provides 

developmental services to children who may need assistance in 

attaining developmental milestones or who may have a disability. 

Services are provided to children from birth to three where they live, 

learn or play. ECI Project TYKE develops a supportive partnership 

with families by providing educational and emotional supports, 

which enriches the daily routines and relationships that will enable 

their child to reach his or her maximum potential. 

Anyone (parent, family, friend, caregiver, professional) can refer a 

child to ECI Project TYKE. If you know a child under the age of 3 who 

needs assistance in at least one area of development or who has a 

medical diagnosis or condition impacting his or her development, 

please call ECI Project TYKE 281-237-6647 or make a referral on our 

website www.katyisd.org. ECI services are available statewide to 

help families. Early is best!!!!!

DIY CAR MAINTENANCE 

When was the last time you serviced your car ON YOUR OWN? Our 

pretty four wheels deserve attention, too and this means more than 

just a car wash. Here are a few tune-up tips you can do on your own: 

1. Air filter - You need a new air filter for your car every 12 months or 

12,000 miles, whichever comes first. You can pay a mechanic and give 

up your car for a day or you can replace your air filter at home in about 

ten minutes. 

2. Windshield Wipers - You’ll need new wiper blades after about 

six months or a year of use. You shouldn’t deal with the danger of 

streaking while you put off an inconvenient trip to the auto shop. 

3. Oil and filter - Experts say you should change your oil every 3,000 

miles, but with better products and cars operating more efficiently, 

you can get away with changing it every 5,000 miles. Whichever 

benchmark you decide to use, you can save time and money by 

handling the change yourself. 

4. Battery maintenance - if you’ve had the same battery for a few 

years, pop your hood every few months and take a look at the battery 

to see if it needs a simple cleaning.

APRIL 2018 OBSERVANCES & FUN FACTS 

Birthstone: Diamond 

Flower: Daisy or Sweet Pea 

Astrological Signs: Aries (3/21-4/20) and Taurus (4/21-5/20) 

April was formerly the second month in the ancient Roman 

year, when March began the calendar. The real origin of its 

name has been lost. The most common theory is that April is 

derived from the Latin verb Aperire, to open, as the opening or 

blossoming, of trees and flowers. 

April is observed as: 

• Autism Awareness Month 

• Child Abuse Prevention Month 

• Keep America Beautiful Month 

• Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month 

• Stress Awareness Month 

Holidays: 

4/1: Easter Sunday 

4/7: United Nations World Health Day

CORNERSTONE UNITED 

METHODIST CHURCH 

18081 West Road, 281-859-4141, 

cornerstoneumc.org 

HOLY WEEK WORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES 

Holy Week represents the last week of Jesus’ life 

on earth, beginning with his triumphant entry 

into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and culminating 

with his glorious resurrection from the dead the 

following Sunday, Easter. This year Holy Week is 

from Sunday, April 9th through Sunday, April 16th. 

During this week, Cornerstone United Methodist 

Church will be offering a variety of worship and 

fellowship opportunities. You are invited to the 

following Holy Week worship opportunities for 

young and old alike planned at Cornerstone UMC: 

CHILDREN’S CHOIR 

The Children’s Choirs of Cornerstone United 

Methodist Church will be presenting their musical 

“Treasure Island” on Sunday, April 15th at the 10:45 

AM service. Told with props, set and costumes, 

“Treasure Island” tells the story of a group of kids 

who have just arrived on Treasure Island and can’t 

wait to discover the treasure that’s in store for 

them. With the guidance of Captain Fisher and a 

map, they start out on an adventure seeking something 

more valuable than gold. Though Captain 

Fisher was once a pirate searching for the riches of 

this world, he now seeks God’s kingdom as a fisher 

of men. Captain Fisher teaches the kids that they 

should always pursue godly wisdom and eternal 

riches. Join this musical adventure as the children 

discover the everlasting value of storing up 

treasures in heaven and continually seeking God. 

YOUTH CHOIR 

The Youth Choir of Cornerstone United Methodist 

Church will be presenting their Spring musical 

“Christ in Every Season!” on Sunday, April 29th 

at the 10:45 AM service. The story of the Christian 

Faith is the story of God’s love in His redemption 

of humankind. The most important part of this 

story is the story of Jesus Christ. The Youth Choir 

will present the life of Christ in song in “Christ in 

Every Season,” as it is told in the various seasons 

of the Christian year. This includes Jesus’ birth, life, 

teachings, miracles, suffering, death, resurrection 

and His giving of the Holy Spirit. The Youth Choir 

will lead this worship event in singing Anthems, 

African Songs, Praise Songs, Spirituals and Hymns. 

THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES 

Cornerstone United Methodist Church will be 

offering to the community a study on Gary 

Chapman’s renown “The 5 Love Languages: The 

Secret to Love That Lasts” starting on Tuesday, 

April 10th at 7-8:15 PM. This study reveals how 

different people express love in different ways 

and contains the key to understanding each 

other’s unique needs. What speaks love to you 

may be meaningless to your spouse. Apply the 

right principles, learn the right language and 

soon you’ll know the profound satisfaction and 

joy of being able to express your love and feel 

truly loved in return. Each week the group will 

view a teaching by Dr. Chapman and have the 

opportunity to discuss the principles taught 

both in the small group and with your spouse. 

Singles are also welcome as there will be opportunity 

to apply the teaching to relationships with 

children, parents and other significant people in 

one’s life. Classes will last for 75 minutes and a 

nursery for preschool children will be available 

by advanced reservation. Each participant will 

need a small-group study book, which can be 

purchased from the church. The cost is $10 per 

book.

GARAGE SALE TIPS 

• Some things you may want to consider selling are: clothing, books, 

linens (especially sheet sets or towel sets), costume jewelry, curtains 

and rods, cassette tapes, Christmas or other holiday items, 

glassware, kitchen items and tools. 

• If you haven’t used an item in a year or so, consider selling it. 

If it has been two or more years, SELL IT. 

• Clean items could be priced at about 30% of new retail, 

but that is only a guideline. 

• Old, stained (but clean) t-shirts make great rags. Bag them up 

and sell a bunch at a time. 

• Items with missing pieces or broken should be free - 

someone may want parts. 

• Display some of your more interesting items at the end 

of the driveway to lure people in. 


• Background music creates a relaxing atmosphere - pick middle 

of the road, easy listening. 

• If it is hot, have the kids sell cold soft drinks or have a water jug and paper 

cups handy. The longer you can keep customers, the more they will buy. 

• Have some “guy things” out front: an old lawn mower, some tools; set up 

a guy table with jars of screws and nails, electronic parts, fishing stuff, 

camping stuff, etc. 

• Your sale will be more successful if you take the time and make sure everything 

is clean and displayed well. During the sale, keep busy by filling in the empty 

spots on your tables by rearranging your stuff. 

• Have plastic grocery bags available to put sold items in; also, it’s a good idea 

to have newspaper handy to wrap breakable items. 

GOOD LUCK!

Mulch - If possible, buy Bagged Mulch. Bagging helps eliminate a great many pests that 

die from various causes while in the bag. When you buy 'loose' mulch that is trucked 

to your home, you are also buying ants, roaches, termites, etc… Spend a little more 

on bagged material and save lots of future pest problems. Keep your mulch at least 

4" - 6" below the top of your homes exposed foundation edge/side. This will aid in 

minimizing pests in your home and allow for quick and accurate termite inspections. 

Shrubs, Flowers and groundcovers - Trim all shrubs/plants at least 12" - 18" 

back from your home. Do your best to create a plant free zone that is 18" - 24" wide 

around your home. The exception is your lawn - it can grow up next to the slab as 

long as you keep it 4" - 6" below the top of the slab. The most conducive to termite 

infestation are groundcover plantings, growing high against your homes exterior or 

(especially) ivy that grows on your walls. 

Trees - Spray your trees at least twice annually. The spring spray eliminates overwintering 

pests and fungi while preparing trees to resist the pest onslaught of summer 

with residual pesticides. The fall spray also kills pests from the summer, prevents 

most fungi from occurring over the winter and puts your valuable asset off to a 

healthy winter's dormancy. 

Lawn - Spring is the perfect time to do a fungicide treatment to stop brown patch 

in its tracks along with other fungi. If your lawn is thin and weak in some areas, here 

are some important fundamentals: a) lawn aeration b) fertilization c) weed control. 

Most important is proper watering: 

• Water once per week (unless you get a 1/2" rain or more - then do not water.) 

• Water heavily (1" - 2") for total lawn coverage. 

• In severe drought, water every 5th day. 

• Water from 5 AM to 7 AM in the morning - NOT AT NIGHT. 

• A heavy deep weekly watering makes the turf grow deeper, stronger 

and more drought resistant roots. 

• Less watering also saves you money!!

Nearly all children with 5p-Syndrome have 

poor muscle tone when they are young. Other 

characteristics may include feeding difficulties, 

delays in walking, hyperactivity, scoliosis 

and significant developmental delays. A small 

number of children are born with serious organ 

defects and other life threatening medical 

conditions, although most individuals with 5pcan 

anticipate a normal life expectancy. With 

early and consistent educational intervention, 

as well as physical and language therapy, 

children with 5p-Syndrome are capable of 

reaching their fullest potential and can lead 

full and meaningful lives. Children born with 

this very rare genetic defect will most likely 

require ongoing support for life, from a team of 

parents, therapists, medical and educational 

professionals to help the child achieve his or 

her maximum potential.

an impact on her research to improve current treatment protocols for 

solid tumors and to ultimately find a cure for these cancers. 

The Laurel’s Army Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) organization, 

formed by a Cypress, Texas family whose daughter bravely fought and 

won, her battle with a rare cancerous solid tumor in 2010. Through 

this battle, we became aware of the severe lack of funding available 

for pediatric cancer research and institutions that care for these young 

warriors depend greatly on money raised by nonprofits like The Laurel’s 

Army Foundation. For more information, please visit us at www.

SPRING CLEANING 

YOUR HOME 

It’s 2018. A brand new year. A chance to start 

afresh, breathe in the new and make resolutions. 

While you’re feeling enthused about a 

year that’s new, now is the perfect time to look 

around your living space and start doing some 

spring cleaning. 

Gifts 

Are there any gifts you received over the holidays 

or for your birthdays over the years that you 

don’t like for whatever reason? Maybe they’re 

clothes that didn’t fit or perfume you didn’t 

like the smell of. Unless they hold sentimental 

value for you, let them go. Sell them. They’re 

taking up space. 

Jewelry 

If you have jewelry or lots of them, go through 

them all. Which ones still speak to you and which 

ones no longer do? Let go of the ones that don’t. 

It will also make you appreciate the ones you’ve 

decided to keep all the more. 

Books 

Go through your book collection. Get rid of the ones 

you’re truly never going to read. Consider gifting 

some of the ones you’ve read to someone else. 

Books are beautiful - the feel of them, the smell 

of them, being able to physically hold one, the 

turning over of a page. However, give some 

thought to whether there are some of your books 

you’d be willing to part with and instead, access 

their digital versions using an electronic reader 

like a Kindle or a Fire tablet. 

Magazines/CDs/DVDs 

Do you still have piles of old magazines, CDs, 

DVDs? Let them all go. If there are any that are 

of particular value, sell them and give the rest 

to charity. 

Appliances/Technology 

Most people have an appliance stored away 

that they have never used or hardly use. A coffee 

machine or smoothie maker, for instance. Any 

damaged ones you’ve been telling yourself you’ll 

fix one day or spare laptops or computers you 

rarely ever use can all be gotten rid of. 

Shoes/Clothes 

This is the last thing listed but is probably the 

first thing you should go through. However, you 

can build up to it by doing one of the things 

already listed. Unless you’re a minimalist, there 

are probably clothes and shoes of yours you can 

go through and say your goodbyes to. Challenge 

yourself to get rid of at least a quarter of it. For 

every three items you choose to keep, let go of 

one item. 

Spring cleaning can be freeing. You’re clearing 

energy. It can make your living space feel lighter 

and make you feel lighter too. Imagine how it’ll 

feel once you’ve finished spring cleaning your 

home, knowing that most of what you’ve chosen 

to keep is what you actually want. 

The New Year can also be a good time to start 

planning for any work you may want done on 

your home. If you live in an old building and plan 

on hiring someone to do the work for you, ensure 

they have the appropriate lead certification first.

KATY ISD APPROVES 

INSTRUCTIONAL CALENDARS 

FOR NEXT TWO YEARS 

As part of the Katy Independent 

School District, “Your District, Your 

Voice” initiative, the community has 

provided its input for the upcoming 

yearly instructional calendar. The 

Katy ISD Board of Trustees has 

approved the following option for 

the 2018-2019 academic year: 

Option #1 

School Begins: Wed., August 15 th 

School Ends: Thursday, May 23 rd 

Instructional Calendar Days: 177 

Full week off for Thanksgiving 

“The District is required to have 

a minimum of 75,600 minutes 

of instruction per school year,” 

says Bonnie Holland, associate 

superintendent for administration, 

governance and legal affairs. “With 

the options approved, Katy ISD has 

enough calendar minutes to cover 

two bad weather days,” added 

Holland. 

K-12 Insight, the external research 

firm conducting the survey, found 

that, out of the 22,169 participants, 

65% favored option #1. The Board 

also approved an instructional 

calendar for 2019-2020 school 

year. This calendar mirrors the 

preferred components of the 2018-

IRS TAX DEADLINE 

People have until Tuesday, April 17, 2018, to file their 2017 returns 

and pay any taxes due. The filing tax deadline is later this year due 

to several factors. The usual April 15 th deadline falls on Sunday this 

year, which would normally give taxpayers until at least the following 

Monday. However, Emancipation Day, a Washington, D.C., holiday, is 

observed on Monday, April 16 th , giving taxpayers nationwide an additional 

day to file. By law, Washington holidays impact tax deadlines for 

everyone in the same way federal holidays do. Taxpayers requesting 

an extension will have until Monday, Oct. 15, 2018, to file. 

The IRS expects more than 70 percent of taxpayers to get tax refunds 

this year. Last year, nearly 112 million refunds were issued, with an 

average refund of $2,895.
