Even the smallest preventative measure can help reduce crime. Warning Decals and/or Warning Labels displayed on
every involved participant’s property have proven to be an effective
deterrent. Would you like a Neighborhood Watch window decal for your home? Please contact your Block Captain or the Neighborhood Watch Co-Chairpersons, Brian &
Shannon Tweedt, at [email protected] if you would like
one.
SAFETY TIP
Please keep in mind that land areas owned by the golf course and home sites under construction are considered private properties. Unless you have permission from the owner of the property, exploring these areas is considered trespassing.

The Modern Game: “The Backhand Return Serve Drop Shot”
Look in the next Newsletter for: “The Overhead from the Baseline”
In previous newsletters, I offered tips on how to execute the basic strokes for players who are just beginning to play tennis or who want to resume playing.
I am now offering suggestions on how to play the “modern” game mostly geared towards players who are happy with hitting the ball over the net and controlling the point with consistency. These players may already be playing for leagues or in tournaments and are looking for more “weapons” on the court.
In this issue, I will offer instructions on how to execute “The Backhand Return Serve Drop Shot.” This shot is used when an opponent is expecting a deep service return and the player “surprises” the opponent with a short angle drop shot. It can be used in both singles and doubles play.
In the illustrations, Fernando Velasco, Director of Tennis and teacher at of the Grey Rock Tennis Club, shows the proper technique to execute this stroke. Velasco is presently ranked #1 in Singles and Doubles in the USTA Men’s 70 Division in Texas,
and #13 in Singles and #8 and #10 in Doubles in the US. Step 1: The Back Swing: When Fernando sees the opportunity,
he makes a quick turn of his upper body and takes the racket high and back. The head of the racket is now at shoulder height, his shoulders are turned, and his eyes are focused on the incoming ball.
Step 2: The Point of Contact: The success of the drop shot is to “cup” under the ball with the strings. The grip is relaxed and ready to push the ball forward and under the ball as he makes contact with it. His left shoulder is almost opening and his weight is moving through the shot.
Step 3: The Follow Through: In order to get maximum underspin, Fernando is keeping the right hand extended as long as possible. His weight is going forward. The left hand is left leaning forward for better balance.
As the shot goes over the net, and it was successful, Fernando will run towards the net, expecting his opponent to either lift the ball short, or try to drop shot his drop shot.

SILVERFISHI recently noticed silverfish lurking in my house while handling
holiday decorations, so I’m sure others may have the same problem. Silverfish can eat and stain books, fabrics, food and wallpaper, but are often considered being more of a nuisance than a pest. These insects have flattened carrot-shaped bodies with three long “tails” that come off the tip of the abdomen. The body is covered with fine scales that give them a silver sheen. Immatures look just like the adults, but are smaller in size.
Usually silverfish are not seen by homeowners because they are most active at night. They can commonly be found in attics, closets or near bookcases. They may also be found behind baseboards or around door and window casings. Silverfish feed on starchy foods like paper, flour, oats or glue.
Tips for managing silverfish:• Remove old books, papers & magazines• Store items in sealed, plastic bags or plastic containers with tight-
fitting lids
• Clean closets on a regular basis- vacuum/ sweep floors and wipe down any shelves
• Reduce humidity with fans, air conditioning or dehumidifiers• Repair any water leaks• Inspect all items before bringing them into the house• Target treatments to where silverfish live- wall voids, closets, attics,
behind baseboards, etc.
