mission of building women of integrity through service to God, family,<br />

community and country. Our local Troop TX1283 is chartered out of<br />

WEBSITE<br />

<strong>Hearthstone</strong> Board is excited to announce that <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA has<br />

partnered with a technology company NabrNetwork to bring to you<br />

Townsquare, which has been selected as our official, Board-approved<br />

communication tool/website for <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA! Accessible via mobile<br />

phone, tablet and desktop - and completely private. A Townsquare<br />

welcome letter was recently sent out to all homeowners. If you didn’t<br />

receive the letter please follow these steps to sign up.<br />

1. Access townsquare at<br />

https://inframarkims.com/what-we-do/association-management/<br />

2. Click on townsquare in the right-side menu<br />

3. Confirm your zip code and select “I live in <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA”<br />

4. Select “I am an owner”<br />

5. Enter your unique Account Number<br />

If you don’t have your account number please call 281-870-0585 or email<br />

Katie.Ivanics@Inframark.com to assist. Please note moving forward this<br />

will be the new website and the old <strong>Hearthstone</strong> website will no longer<br />

be used.<br />

MESSAGE TO ALL HEARTHSTONE RESIDENTS<br />

FROM THE HEARTHSTONE COUNTRY CLUB<br />

Incidents of trespassing on the golf course have recently had a dramatic<br />

increase. Accordingly, the club has posted new signs at all areas of access<br />

that address the trespassing issue. No one, whether members or nonmembers<br />

are to be on the club property at any time, day or evening,<br />

unless you are registered with the Pro shop. No walking or jogging, no<br />

dog walking, no bike riding, no fishing. The club has asked the Constables<br />

to assist in the enforcement of this violation. Please be a good neighbor<br />

and respect the club’s property.<br />

GOLF CART OPERATORS IN HEARTHSTONE:<br />

Parents, please remember that all operators of golf carts on both public<br />

streets and at the <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Country Club must be at least 16 years old<br />

and have a valid TX Operators license. We have recently noticed many<br />

underage operators driving through the community. Underage drivers<br />

subject both themselves and their parents to citation by the Harris<br />

County Constables Office. Should an underage driver cause any damage<br />

to a person or property, most insurance companies will not cover the loss<br />

leaving the parents open to civil litigation. Please parents, if your child is<br />

underage and operating your golf cart, ask them to stop. If our Constable<br />

on patrol continues to observe underage drivers she/he will have no<br />

choice but to stop the driver and call the parents. Let’s take care of this<br />

issue on our own. Thanks!<br />

DO’S AND DON’TS OF DEED RESTRICTIONS<br />

Deed restrictions or often called “restrictive covenants” (especially in<br />

the context of homeowners associations) are restrictions contained in<br />

incorporating documents that limit how a property can be used or what<br />

can be built on it. Subdivision developers create these restrictions in<br />

order to keep size, quality and nature of housing consistent in an effort to<br />

maintain market value of the subdivision.<br />

For the most part, <strong>Hearthstone</strong> residents abide by our deed restrictions.<br />

Yards are kept clean and neat. Home exteriors are washed and unsightly<br />

mold is removed. Our neighbors file the required ACC forms when making<br />

changes to their home exteriors or adding a room or other structure.<br />

Trailers are not parked in driveways or on the street for extended periods<br />

of time and commercial vehicles are kept in garages.<br />

However, there are always a few who, from time to time forget or are<br />

not well informed about to do’s and don’ts of our deed restrictions. We<br />

need your help. We need everyone to follow the deed restrictions. If you<br />

aren’t familiar with them, they can be found in the documents section<br />

of our website. If you’re not sure, call the management company. Our<br />

management company inspects the community once a month checking<br />

for violations. There are times when they will miss something. If you have<br />

a neighbor who is a continuing violator, call the management company.<br />

If you want to remain anonymous call Katie Ivanics directly and let her<br />

know.<br />

Moving forward, the Board has instructed the management company<br />

to continue to inspect closely for violations and follow up with notices<br />

allowed by law.<br />

1) The first notice is a courtesy letter.<br />

2) If the violation is not cured within 30 days a second letter is sent.<br />

3) If the violation continues another 30 days it is referred to our attorney<br />

and a third letter is sent. The attorney letter results in a $302.50 charge to<br />

the homeowners account.<br />

4) Continuing violations and/or non-payment of a homeowners account<br />

can lead to a notice of foreclosure.<br />

For the good of all of our homeowners in <strong>Hearthstone</strong>, let’s keep our<br />

community clean and neat. Thanks to all of you who already abide by<br />

the rules and thanks in advance to those few who will strive to do better!<br />

TRASH DAYS<br />

Trash days are Tuesdays and Fridays with recycling pickup on Fridays. If<br />

you have questions, call 281-368-8397.<br />

BOARD MEETING<br />

Board Meetings are now bi-monthly, usually on the 3 rd Wednesday at 6<br />

PM. <strong>Hearthstone</strong> Country Club.<br />

STOP THAT BARKING<br />

Many dogs left alone all day get lonely, bored and restless. Many find<br />

relief in barking. Some respond noisily to any and all activity. But, nothing<br />

is as annoying as incessant barking - even for dog lovers. If your dog is a<br />

yapper or a yowler, please consider some of these bark-abatement ideas<br />

to keep the noise down in your area. Your neighbors will thank you!<br />

• Training. Always the first recommendation for any behavioral problem!<br />

Help is as close as the Yellow Pages. Training not only helps your dog,<br />

you’ll be surprised how much it helps you, too. You may get some insight<br />

into why your dog barks so much or what it is trying to communicate.<br />

• Citronella collars. A humane alternative to the electric-shock, antibarking<br />

collar and costs about the same. Available on the web and in<br />

pet stores.<br />

• Confinement. Sometimes simply bringing an outspoken dog indoors<br />

or confining it to a crate can cut down on the disturbance to neighbors.<br />

• For inside dogs, reduce stimulus. Close drapes to help muffle street<br />

noise or leave a radio on to mask it.<br />

• Companionship. Dogs are pack animals; they need companionship<br />

- a cat, bird or another dog. Consider a mid-day visit from a pet-sitting<br />

service or drop your pooch off at a friend’s place or a day-care facility<br />

once or twice a week.<br />

Keep in mind that dogs who bark from loneliness or boredom, may not<br />

do it when you are home. Meanwhile, your neighbors may be getting<br />

serenaded while you are away.<br />

LOST & FOUND PETS IN HEARTHSTONE<br />

Folks in <strong>Hearthstone</strong> are very helpful in getting lost pets reunited with<br />

their owners, but all dog owners should ensure that there is a tag on each<br />

dog with their name, address and phone number. Local pet stores have<br />

machines that make tags like this while you wait. At least that would help<br />

found dogs get back home quicker and with less trauma.<br />

PET REMINDER:<br />

Please be mindful of the Harris County Leash Law and be certain that<br />

your pets are on a leash when not confined to your home or backyard.<br />

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR<br />

HARRIS COUNTY CONSTABLE<br />

The Harris County Constable’s Office, Precinct 5 is now offering a class<br />

on Rape Aggression Defense (RAD). RAD is one of the best women’s selfdefense<br />

courses available. It’s a program based on realistic self-defense<br />

tactics and techniques. It is a comprehensive self-defense course for<br />

women that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and<br />

avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defensive<br />

training. If you’re interested in more information and signing up, go to<br />

this link:<br />

https://constablepct5.com/index.php/rad<br />

Make sure if you or your family goes on vacation to put in a “Vacation<br />

Watch” with our department. That way you’ll know your house is being<br />

watched by our patrol deputies. You can fill out a vacation watch form<br />

online here:<br />

https://constablepct5.com/index.php/vacation-watch/<br />

Or you can call our dispatch at 281-463-6666.<br />

HEARTHSTONE STREETLIGHTS<br />

The <strong>Hearthstone</strong> HOA coordinates maintenance of all the streetlights<br />

throughout the community. This includes the “cobra head” lights like<br />

you see along many streets and highways, as well as the decorative light<br />

poles along Huffmeister and in some of the neighborhoods.<br />

Cobra head streetlights need to be reported to CenterPoint, using the<br />

pole number, which is the “address” for the light. It is a six digit number<br />

facing the street. You can report streetlights that are not working or<br />

staying on during the day at http://cnp.centerpointenergy.com/outage<br />

(Google streetlight outage) or give us the pole number and we will do<br />

it for you.<br />

Outages or problems with decorative streetlights should be reported to<br />

Inframark at 281-870-0585. Please note the exact intersection or closest<br />

address. The association has a contractor doing a monthly nighttime<br />

inspection for lights that are out, but if you see a problem, please report<br />

it, so we can achieve our goal to keep all the lights on all the time.<br />

SAFETY TIPS - AVOID BEING A VICTIM<br />

1. Call the constable’s office anytime you see a suspicious person and do<br />

not let race, age or gender influence you calling (a suspicious person is<br />

anyone you do not recognize on your street).<br />

2. Call the constable’s office when you see a suspicious vehicle (any<br />

vehicle parked in front of your neighbor’s home or driving around your<br />

street that you don’t recognize).<br />

3. Always keep all your doors and windows locked even when you are at<br />

home.<br />

4. Always keep your overhead garage door in the down position.<br />

5. Remember neighbors looking out for neighbors are how the police<br />

catch the bad guys.<br />

6. Make sure to do a vacation watch whenever you go out of town.<br />

7. If someone comes to your door, always go to the door and acknowledge<br />

that you are there and remember to never open the door for anyone that<br />

you do not know. The bad guys in almost all cases do not want you to be<br />

home. Then always call the constable’s office so that we can check them<br />

out. When they leave your house, they are going to your neighbors.<br />

8. If you have children that stay at home alone, no matter what their age,<br />

they need to go to the door and have a preplanned story for whoever is<br />

there (my dad is working on the computer, he says to come back later).<br />

Then have them call the constable’s office.<br />

9. Never do business with people you don not know and trust. Never<br />

open the door for solicitors. If no one in the neighborhood buys anything<br />

from them, the companies that they work for will quit sending them into<br />

your subdivision.<br />

10. Always lock your vehicles and never leave anything of value in plain<br />

sight (covering up an item with a jacket doesn’t count).<br />

Our dispatch number is 281-463-6666 (please put this number in your<br />

cell phone as 911 constable or A constable so that it is one of the first<br />

contacts).<br />

fun crafts to do<br />

for halloween<br />

www.goodhousekeeping.com<br />

1. Start with the right pumpkin.<br />

Choose one that's fresh, with a sturdy stem, no bruises, and a<br />

flat bottom so it won't roll while you carve.<br />

2. Cut from the bottom, not the top. Michael<br />

Natiello, pumpkin carving pro and creative director for The Great<br />

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

the pumpkin helps prevent the sides from caving in later.<br />

3. If you do carve from the top, cut out the lid<br />

on an angle. This way it won't drop inside the pumpkin<br />

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

cut. A boning knife should work well for this.<br />

4. Scoop out all the pulp (and then some). You<br />

can buy a special "claw" for pumpkin gutting, but an ice cream<br />

scoop will do just fine. Thin the inner wall of the "face" area to<br />

1¼-inch thick, so it will be easier to pierce the shell.<br />

5. Sketch out your design on paper first. If you<br />

draw your jack-o'-lantern face to size, Natiello says you can<br />

use it as a pattern: Just tape it to the front of your pumpkin<br />

and use a fork or pencil to poke holes along the lines you want<br />

to carve. (Or save yourself from creative blocks by getting a<br />

pumpkin carving kit, complete with a marker, scraper, cutting<br />

tools, and pre-made patterns.)<br />

6. Hold the pumpkin in your lap. It's easier to create<br />

features when the face is gazing up at you. Natiello suggests<br />

using a serrated kitchen knife or an X-Acto knife for carving,<br />

but to make intricate designs, you could try using a small saw.<br />

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

How to carve a pumpkin<br />

7. Start by making simple rough cuts. If you get<br />

the big pieces of pumpkin out of the way first, you can go back<br />

and clean up the edges of your design later.<br />

8. Use your scraps creatively. Make a tongue, pipe,<br />

or hair accessories out of a discarded piece of pumpkin shell,<br />

for example.<br />

9. Keep your pumpkin fresh. Natiello recommends<br />

spreading petroleum jelly on the cut edges to seal in moisture.<br />

If your pumpkin still shrivels a few days later, you can revive it<br />

with a facedown soak in cold water for up to eight hours.<br />

10. Create a chimney. First, leave the lid on for a few<br />

minutes while the candle burns. Then make a small hole where<br />

the lid has blackened. Or, save yourself the stress and go with<br />

battery-operated votives instead.<br />

11. Sprinkle cinnamon inside the lid. That way,<br />

when you light the candle, your jack-o'-lantern will smell like<br />

a pumpkin pie. Yum.<br />

Hanging Bat Craft<br />

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

adorable cardboard tube bats are a great way for kids to help decorate for<br />

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

book, Stellaluna! (Free bat wing template is provided on website www.<br />

buggyandbuddy.com.)<br />

Materials for Bat Craft<br />

Cardboard tube (We used an empty toilet paper roll.)<br />

Tempera paint (black or brown) and paintbrush<br />

Construction paper (black or brown)<br />

Black pipe cleaners<br />

Scissors<br />

Single hole punch (This is my favorite! It can punch through multiple<br />

sheets without making your hand sore!)<br />

Glue<br />

Googly eyes<br />

Marker (We used black and silver Sharpies.)<br />

Bat wing template (optional)<br />

How to Make the Bat Craft<br />

1. Paint your cardboard tube either black or brown (depending on the color<br />

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

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

2. While the cardboard tube is drying, draw some bat wings onto<br />

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

yourself, you can use our bat wing template.)<br />

3. Glue the wings onto the back of the cardboard tube.<br />

4. Cut out some little triangles from your construction paper to make<br />

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

to draw a mouth.<br />

5. Punch two holes in the bottom of your cardboard tube. This is where<br />

the legs will go.<br />

6. Cut a black pipe cleaner in half. Twist one end of each pipe cleaner<br />

through each punched hole.<br />

7. To make the feet, snip off the last inch of each leg. Wrap the one-inch<br />

piece of pipe cleaner around the bottom of each leg. Fold the middle part<br />

of the foot to make a hook for hanging.<br />

8. Hang your bat up for fall or Halloween!<br />
