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 the 2nd Thursday of 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.

DEED RESTRICTIONS 

Deed restrictions are strictly enforced by Hunter’s Park 

Community Association. Copies of the restrictions 

are available on our website at www.bearcreeknetwork.org. 

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.

1. Start with the right pumpkin. 

Choose one that's fresh, with a sturdy stem, no bruises, and a 

flat bottom so it won't roll while you carve. 

2. Cut from the bottom, not the top. Michael 

Natiello, pumpkin carving pro and creative director for The Great 

Jack-o'-Lantern Blaze, says cutting your "lid" from the bottom of 

the pumpkin helps prevent the sides from caving in later. 

3. If you do carve from the top, cut out the lid 

on an angle. This way it won't drop inside the pumpkin 

when you put it back on top, like it would with a straight upand-down 

cut. A boning knife should work well for this. 

4. Scoop out all the pulp (and then some). You 

can buy a special "claw" for pumpkin gutting, but an ice cream 

scoop will do just fine. Thin the inner wall of the "face" area to 

1¼-inch thick, so it will be easier to pierce the shell. 

5. Sketch out your design on paper first. If you 

draw your jack-o'-lantern face to size, Natiello says you can 

use it as a pattern: Just tape it to the front of your pumpkin 

and use a fork or pencil to poke holes along the lines you want 

to carve. (Or save yourself from creative blocks by getting a 

pumpkin carving kit, complete with a marker, scraper, cutting 

tools, and pre-made patterns.) 

6. Hold the pumpkin in your lap. It's easier to create 

features when the face is gazing up at you. Natiello suggests 

using a serrated kitchen knife or an X-Acto knife for carving, 

but to make intricate designs, you could try using a small saw. 

Just don't cut on a slant — clean up-and-down slices look best. 

How to carve a pumpkin 

7. Start by making simple rough cuts. If you get 

the big pieces of pumpkin out of the way first, you can go back 

and clean up the edges of your design later. 

8. Use your scraps creatively. Make a tongue, pipe, 

or hair accessories out of a discarded piece of pumpkin shell, 

for example. 

9. Keep your pumpkin fresh. Natiello recommends 

spreading petroleum jelly on the cut edges to seal in moisture. 

If your pumpkin still shrivels a few days later, you can revive it 

with a facedown soak in cold water for up to eight hours. 

10. Create a chimney. First, leave the lid on for a few 

minutes while the candle burns. Then make a small hole where 

the lid has blackened. Or, save yourself the stress and go with 

battery-operated votives instead. 

11. Sprinkle cinnamon inside the lid. That way, 

when you light the candle, your jack-o'-lantern will smell like 

a pumpkin pie. Yum.

Hanging Bat Craft 

Here’s a simple hanging bat craft for kids using empty toilet paper rolls. These 

adorable cardboard tube bats are a great way for kids to help decorate for 

fall or Halloween. They also make a great activity to go with the children’s 

book, Stellaluna! (Free bat wing template is provided on website www. 

buggyandbuddy.com.) 

Materials for Bat Craft 

Cardboard tube (We used an empty toilet paper roll.) 

Tempera paint (black or brown) and paintbrush 

Construction paper (black or brown) 

Black pipe cleaners 

Scissors 

Single hole punch (This is my favorite! It can punch through multiple 

sheets without making your hand sore!) 

Glue 

Googly eyes 

Marker (We used black and silver Sharpies.) 

Bat wing template (optional)

How to Make the Bat Craft 

1. Paint your cardboard tube either black or brown (depending on the color 

bat you’d like to make). This is our favorite tempera paint to use. I love the 

colors and it doesn’t have a strong paint odor like other tempera paints. 

2. While the cardboard tube is drying, draw some bat wings onto 

construction paper and cut them out. (If you don’t want to draw them 

yourself, you can use our bat wing template.) 

3. Glue the wings onto the back of the cardboard tube. 

4. Cut out some little triangles from your construction paper to make 

ears. Glue these onto the bat, along with some googly eyes. Use a marker 

to draw a mouth. 

5. Punch two holes in the bottom of your cardboard tube. This is where 

the legs will go.

“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,

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 October. 

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.
