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.

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.

put out the night before or day of pickup and polycarts should 

be promptly removed same day as pickup. Let’s keep our 

neighborhood beautiful! 

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH 

For extra security, our subdivision has a contract with the Harris County 

Precinct 5 Constable’s Department. 

Notify the Constables immediately at 281-463-6666 if you see any 

suspicious persons, vehicles or activities. Please, if possible, obtain 

license plate numbers, color, make and model of vehicle. Description 

of person(s). Was suspicious person walking, riding a bike? - location 

- as much information as possible will be helpful! 

Vacation Watch - This informs our Deputies that you are on vacation. 

Please call the Constable’s Dept. at 281-463-6666 in the event you will 

be out of town to set up your vacation watch. 

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. 

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:

TWO KATY ISD HIGH SCHOOLS ARE “BEST IN HOUSTON AREA” 

Katy ISD is known to have some of the best schools in the area and just 

recently Cinco Ranch High and Seven Lakes High were recognized as 

part of the top 100 list of “the best high schools in the Houston area 

for 2018” according to the nonprofit organization Children at Risk. 

For 13 years, Children at Risk has ranked Texas schools to help parents, 

educators and community members understand how their 

schools are performing and to spark dialogue on the quality of public 

education across Texas. This year Seven Lakes High School received 

an A+ and Cinco Ranch received an A. 

“Katy ISD has a total of 10 high schools, including our Miller Career 

& Technology School and Raines High School and many of them 

often find themselves ranking high on these prestigious lists,” said 

Assistant Superintendent for Secondary School Leadership and 

Support Jeff Stocks. “Katy ISD continues to be a destination school 

district where families find great opportunities for their children to 

reach their fullest potential.” 

To rank the schools, researchers examine student achievement, achievement 

plus poverty level, student growth and college readiness. To view 

the full list of high school rankings, visit Texas School Guide webpage.

HOW TO CELEBRATE READ A BOOK DAY 

Read a Book Day comes to us every September 6 th . It may seem strange 

to celebrate an activity that plenty of us enjoy many, if not most, days 

of the year. But it never hurts to indulge in something extra to make a 

cherished activity more enjoyable. You can read outside, enjoy a snack, 

reflect on what a favorite book means to you and more. Here are five 

ideas to celebrate Read a Book Day. 

Read Outside 

Read a Book Day fortunately coincides with a time of year that for much 

of the globe brings pleasant weather. Late summer often provides the 

right amount of sun and heat, begging a reader to bring books outside. 

Granted, that’s a bit difficult for those of us who have to spend prime 

daylight hours at work or in school, but you can always sneak some 

reading time in the early morning, late afternoon or evening. Take your 

book to the beach, an outdoor table, the porch or anywhere else that 

makes your day of reading a little more special. 

Enjoy a Book With Good Food (or a Drink) 

C.S. Lewis said that “Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine 

admirably.” We might take this as a cue for our own Read a Book Day 

celebration. There are some things to consider, though. I, for one, traditionally 

have trouble finding the right food to eat while reading (fruit like 

grapes and strawberries wet my fingers and the pages and large meals 

involving fork and knife make holding the book open unwieldy). But for 

Read a Book Day, I might put those past failures behind me. Baked goods 

like cookies and pastries make for great company, while coffee and tea 

are always enhancements to a good story. Heck, it’s the summer. You 

might even celebrate the day with a glass of wine or a special cocktail. 

Share a Quote or Reflection on Social Media 

Many a book goes unread because it gets lost in the noise. It can be 

hard to know what’s worth our attention in the dizzying selection of 

books we have available and one of the most important resources we 

have as readers is a good recommendation. You can celebrate reading 

by excerpting a favorite quote from a book and sharing it on Facebook 

or Twitter. If you want to go the extra mile, dress up a favorite title for 

a photo on Instagram and caption it with why it means something to 

you. Picking the right book intimidates more people than you think 

and you never know who you’re helping and who might add your 

recommendation to their reading list. 

Go Outside of Your Typical Selection Habits 

Some readers want to own their books and love bookstores. Some readers 

prefer the different selection and freedom of a library. Others prefer shopping 

online. All of these habits are great, but it can be rewarding to try something 

new. Does your community have a used bookstore? There’s a lot that might 

surprise you, especially if you’re used to going to Barnes & Noble. Do you 

like to shop online for books? There are plenty of places where you can get 

old, unusual, rare or interesting editions that the major vendors won’t have. 

Plus, it always pays to visit your local library. A little difference can go a long 

way in reminding you of the wide cultural world of books. 

Ask Someone for a Recommendation 

Celebrating books goes the other way, too. It’s always good to make 

something solitary, like reading, more social. A good way to do this is to 

reach out to someone who could give you a recommendation. People 

are always happy to share their favorite titles and it’s a nice way to 

reconnect with someone over books. After all, a book’s very purpose 

is to connect us better to the world in the first place.

GARDEN TIPS FOR SEPTEMBER 

Time now to make plans for fall landscaping projects. 

• Clean up flowerbeds of fallen foliage, yellowed leaves and dead wood. 

Light green leaves may signify lack of iron (chlorosis). Correct with iron cheleates. 

• Cut off old dead foliage on irises. Scratch in a little bone meal around the roots. 

• Prune roses to reshape and groom plants for fall growth. Follow up with a dose 

of fertilizer the first week of September. 

• Plants come out of summer rest and go crazy. Insect populations explode as we 

get into cooler temperatures. Diseases that have been dormant wake up. 

- Citrus, croton, avocado and mango are susceptible to spider mites and thrips. 

Discourage them with a strong jet of water from a hose directed to the 

undersides of the leaves. 

- Hibiscus, citrus, palms, gardenia and ixora are susceptible to scale and mealybug. 

• Winter vegetable gardens and perennials get planted. 

• Wait until November to plant petunias and pansies. 

• Fire ants baits should be put out in September-October to lessen the number 

of eggs that make it to Spring. 

• St. Augustine grass gets its fall fertilizer during September. Continue to mow at 

maximum height. You want to leave a lot of leaf surface to produce carbohydrate 

reserves for the winter. 

• Keep an eye out for sod webworms. First sign of them is grass that appears to stop 

growing. You need to get them early for biological controls to work. When the 

caterpillars are only 1/4 inch, Bacillus thuringiensis applications can slow them. 

Bt is a bacteria that works on the caterpillars’ digestive systems and makes them 

stop feeding. Do the application late in the day. The larvae feed at night and you 

want them to get nice fresh Bt. 

• When the heat and drought end, the weather could bring brown patch disease in the 

St. Augustine grass. Watch for yellowish spots if the nights drop into the 60’s and days 

stay in the 80’s. 

• Get any pruning of hedges and such done now. You want the flush of new growth 

to be hardened-off before the end of October. Tree pruning should be put off 

until winter, when the trees are dormant. 

• Pre-emerge herbicide applications targeting annual bluegrass and the earliergerminating 

winter broadleaf weeds needed to be put out starting in mid-August.

Itch, Ouch, Scratch, It’s Bug Season 

Whether you’re attacked while working in the garden, enjoying a 

picnic in the park or lounging by the pool, bug bites and stings are 

an inevitable summer annoyance. At best, bites and stings can be 

uncomfortable for a few days; at worst, they can be a serious, lifethreatening 

hazard Here are some tips on how to relieve the itch or 

sting and when to know if you should seek medical attention: 

If the bite or sting is mildly painful or itchy, apply over-the-counter 

medication that contains Benadryl or cortisone for topical relief. Other 

home remedies, like applying a paste made from baking soda and 

water, dabbing on ammonia with a cotton ball, soaking in oatmeal 

baths or even applying toothpaste to the site may also provide relief. 

Whatever you do, don’t scratch. This can cause an infection and leave 

a scar. And it won’t relieve the itch or sting. 

If you feel faint, nauseous, dizzy or disoriented or if you experience 

rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing or your lips, tongue or throat 

swell, call 911 immediately and get medical attention. These 

symptoms indicate a severe allergy to the insect’s venom. Administer 

an Epi-pen (injectable epinephrine) if one is available and administer 

CPR if symptoms worsen before emergency personnel arrive. After 

the episode, follow up with a physician who can determine an allergy 

prevention treatment. 

Stay alert for delayed symptoms around the bite or sting, like redness 

or swelling, which could indicate an infection or other condition. 

And see a doctor right away if you have a headache, fever or joint 

pain within a few days of being bitten. Some insects, like ticks and 

mosquitoes, can infect their victims with serious, flulike illnesses, 

such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease and West Nile 

virus, which only a physician can diagnose and treat. 

Most important, use insect repellant when outdoors and wear light-weight, 

light-colored clothing over arms, legs and feet to keep insects off your skin. 

And avoid wearing perfume and fragrances, which can attract bugs.

Earns anA 

Send your kids to school with a nutritious breakfast and they 

might come home with better test scores and fewer behavioral 

problems. There’s no doubt about it - breakfast is a big deal. 

Decades of research have shown that kids who make this meal 

a habit have better diets, healthier bodies, higher test scores, 

lighter moods and more mental stamina. No matter how hectic 

your mornings are, it’s worth taking the time to make sure your 

kids get good food before school starts. 

Does breakfast really make a difference? 

Food fuels the body with glucose, the main energy source for the 

mind and muscles. This refueling is especially important in the 

morning because the body hasn’t had any food since the night 

before. Children’s daily nutrient intake also tends to be higher 

when they eat breakfast, according to the American Dietetic 

Association (ADA). Whole-grain cereal with milk and a glass of 

citrus juice, for example, delivers lots of vitamin C, calcium, 

thiamin, riboflavin, fiber, iron and folate. 

Children who eat breakfast are also more likely to have lower 

blood cholesterol levels and are less likely to gain weight, miss 

school or visit the school nurse than children who don’t have 

a morning meal. 

Make a breakfast plan 

Mornings can often be the busiest part of the day. To help make 

sure breakfast stays on your family’s schedule no matter how 

pressed for time you are, try these tips from the ADA and the 

American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). 

• Set your table the night before. Save yourself a few precious 

minutes in the morning by setting out dishes, cereal, bagels, 

bread, fruit or instant breakfast mix before you go to bed. 

• Use last night’s leftovers. Don’t fret if it’s not traditional breakfast 

food. A slice of pizza or macaroni and cheese warmed up in 

the microwave can still provide needed nutrients. 

• Keep your cupboards and fridge stocked with quick, healthy 

breakfast foods, such as granola bars, bagels, bananas, yogurt, 

cottage cheese, dried fruit, instant oatmeal, whole-wheat toaster 

waffles and fruit or vegetable juice. 

• Be flexible. If your child can’t or won’t eat first thing in the 

morning, offer fruit juice at home and pack a breakfast to go. 

English muffins or bagels with peanut butter, a low-fat cheese 

sandwich or whole-wheat banana nut bread will travel well. You 

can also ask if your child can have breakfast at school-many 

school cafeterias offer morning meals. 

The best breakfasts include foods with carbohydrates, proteins 

and fats. This type of meal can satisfy hunger and maintain blood 

sugar levels for hours. Sugary foods cause a quick rise in blood 

sugar and energy that fizzles out in about one hour. 

The bottom line on breakfast 

A morning meal gives kids an edge on hunger, energy and brainpower. 

Even if it means setting alarm clocks 20 minutes early, 

find a way to make breakfast a regular at your house-your kids 

aren’t ready for school without it.

APPLE DUMPLING 

You could make this on National Apple Dumpling Day September 17 th ! 

INGREDIENTS: 

1 pastry for double-crust pie 

6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored 

1/2 cup butter 

3/4 cup brown sugar 

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 

3 cups water 

2 cups white sugar 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

DIRECTIONS: 

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). 

Butter a 9x13 inch pan. 

On a lightly floured surface, roll pastry into a large rectangle, about 24 by 

16 inches. Cut into 6 square pieces. Place an apple on each pastry square 

with the cored opening facing upward. Cut butter into 8 pieces. Place 1 

piece of butter in the opening of each apple; reserve remaining butter for 

sauce. Divide brown sugar between apples, poking some inside each cored 

opening and the rest around the base of each apple. Sprinkle cinnamon and 

nutmeg over the apples. 

With slightly wet fingertips, bring one corner of pastry square up to the top 

of the apple, then bring the opposite corner to the top and press together. 

Bring up the two remaining corners and seal. Slightly pinch the dough at 

the sides to completely seal in the apple. Repeat with the remaining apples. 

Place in prepared baking dish. 

In a saucepan, combine water, white sugar, vanilla extract and reserved butter. 

Place over medium heat and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Boil for 5 

minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Carefully pour over dumplings. 

Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes. Place each apple dumpling in 

a dessert bowl and spoon some sauce over the top.
