https://slo.centerpointenergy.com to report the issue. You may also call
713-207-2222 to report an outage.
When reporting a streetlight in need of repair, it is important to provide
the following:
• Light number

Household Garbage: • Waste must be placed in bags or personal
containers between 20 and 95-gallons. • Cans or bags cannot exceed 50
pounds.
Heavy Trash: • Two heavy items collected EVERY service day.
Heavy trash/bulk waste includes waste that is not generated on a regular
basis, including:
• Furniture (couch, table, mattress, box spring, desk, dresser, etc.).
• Appliances (washer, dryer, dishwasher, etc.).
• Hot Water Heaters.
• Fencing/Decking/Siding (please remove nails, cut into lengths 4’ or less

ANNUAL HOMEOWNERS FEES
Your annual fees of $370 were due on January 1, 2020 and were delinquent
on February 1, 2020. Unless you made arrangements for a payment plan
with Preferred Management late fees will begin to accumulate. DO NOT
ignore notifications from Preferred Management. Late fees, penalties and
interest on amounts add up quickly. If you ignore them, legal fees will
also be added.
Pool/recreation access will not be given to homeowners with delinquent
HOA fees.
PROPER DISPOSAL HELPS EVERYONE!
Do you know what to do with leftover used cooking oil and grease?
Never wash cooking fats, oil or grease (FOG) down the drain, as they can
cause the sewer line to back up into your home. If the drain clogs and
causes a sewer line blockage it may cause the back up to flow onto the
street and into the storm drains which flow to our bayous and eventually
Galveston Bay. This material is harmful to the waterways and the creatures
that live there.
RECYCLE IT INSTEAD!
The Harris County Household Hazardous Waste Facility provides a free
residential FOG drop-off site for easy disposal. FOG items can be recycled
into bio-diesel fuels, a feed additive for animals and other processes that
4
October 2021 | Concord Bridge

save natural resources. Please do NOT mix FOG with any other items,
such as automotive waste (no auto oils or lubricants) because if these are
mixed they cannot be recycled. Also, please bring your FOG in a container
that we can keep. This service is for residents of Harris County only.
TEENAGE JOB SEEKERS

fun crafts to do
for halloween
www.goodhousekeeping.com
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.
6. Cut a black pipe cleaner in half. Twist one end of each pipe cleaner
through each punched hole.
7. To make the feet, snip off the last inch of each leg. Wrap the one-inch
piece of pipe cleaner around the bottom of each leg. Fold the middle part
of the foot to make a hook for hanging.
8. Hang your bat up for fall or Halloween!
