Cool and Refreshing Melons at Barton Creek Farmers Market this July

Melons are a wonderful natural way to stay cool and nourished during summer months. You’ll find a wide variety of melons this summer at Barton Creek Farmers Market’s on Saturdays from 9 AM – 1 PM at Barton Creek Mall and Sundays from 10 AM – 2 PM at Highland Mall.

We will be doing a fresh “melon mania” tasting on Saturday, July 20th at Barton Creek Mall. You can also bring the kids to enjoy holding their favorite pets at the Tiny Tails Petting Zoo.

Summer brings delicious veggies to the market too. You’ll find sweet garden tomatoes, basil and other fresh herbs and summer squashes. Have you tried Armenian cucumbers? They are sweet and so easy to use in salads. The outer skin is very soft eliminating the need to peel the cucumbers so it shortens the salad prep time.

Two pizzas have become favorites at my house, caramelized onion pizza and pesto pizza? Both use fresh ingredients from the local markets and are easy to prepare. With the caramelized onion pizza start out by slicing two large onions and sautéing them in

butter and olive oil for approximately 30 to 40 minutes on low heat to bring out the natural sugars. Place the onions on the pizza and top with fresh chopped mushrooms and a pinch of fennel seed or fresh cut fennel. Then cover all with grated mozzarella cheese and bake at 425 degrees until the crust is slightly brown and the cheese has melted. Serve with a glass of wine and salad. Mmm, mmm! It is easy to prepare and tastes wonderful.

Pesto pizza is equally delicious and easy to prepare. Use pesto as a base on your pizza and top with mushrooms, onions, olives and whatever else tickles your fancy. Top with grated mozzarella cheese and cook in the oven until the crust is lightly browned and the cheese has melted.

For backyard barbecues you might want to try High Country Bison or Texas Longhorn for a change. Both are pasture raised and grass fed and available at Barton Creek Farmers Market. We hope you’ll stop in to find lots of other ideas for using local organic foods at Barton Creek Farmers Markets.

How To Execute The Backhand Service Return

By USPTA/PTR Master Professional Fernando Velasco

TENNISTIPS

Look in the next Newsletter for: The Forehand High Volley Approach Shot

In previous newsletters, I offered tips on how to hit a forehand groundstroke, a two-handed backhand, one-handed backhand, forehand volley, the two handed backhand volley, the serve, the forehand half-volley, the one-handed backhand volley, the overhead “smash” and the forehand service return.

In this issue, I will offer you instructions on how to execute the second most important shot in the game of tennis: The Service Return, since it is the response to the first most important shot of the game: The Serve. In the illustrations, Julie Comey, player at the Grey Rock Tennis Club, shows the proper technique to execute this stroke. Photos by Charlie Palafox.

Step 1: The Ready Position: When Julie is getting ready to return the serve, her eyes are focused on the tennis ball held by the opponent. Knees are relaxed and the hands are holding the racket with a relaxed grip.

Step 2: The Split Step: When the opponent tosses the ball into the air, Julie will take a hop with both feet off the ground, trying to time the split step with the contact of the ball on the

opponent’s racket.Step 3: The Back Swing: Once Julie realizes that the ball has

been directed to her forehand, she will turn her upper body and will take the racket back. Notice that the left hand is up in front to allow her to keep her center of gravity in the center. She has loaded her weight on her left foot and will be ready to step forward to meet the ball.

Step 4: The Point of Contact: Julie now is ready to step into the ball. She has kept her eye on the ball and her center of gravity now is shifted to the point of contact. Notice the right knee being slightly bent and the right foot is pointing to the ball meeting the racket.

Step 5: The Follow Through: Once Julie has finished her stroke, the momentum of the racket continues to move almost to a point behind her neck. Her left hand is next to her body and her left elbow is pointing toward her target. Her body is now ready to take the “split step” with both feet in order to prepare for the opponent’s returned shot.

BARTON CREEK NEWSViruses Still Present During Summer

Many viruses are still frequent in the summer so good hygiene remains important

Some viruses present in the summer include:

-Enteroviruses can cause symptoms such as sore throat and diarrhea, and can even lead to viral meningitis and inflammation of the heart and liver.

-Hand, foot and mouth disease, is characterized by ulcers in the back of the throat and a rash on hands and feet. This is common in babies and young children.

-Adenovirus, which can cause respiratory problems.

-Parainfluenza can cause croup, a loud cough; bronchiolitis, swelling and mucus in the small air passages in the lungs; and bronchitis, inflammation of the main air passages to the lungs.

These viruses cannot be treated with antibiotics, but it's important to get enough fluid and rest. Seek treatment immediately for high fever for more than three days, vomiting for over 24 hours, diarrhea, severe headaches or chest pain. Those with weak immune systems should consult their physician if they have any symptoms associated with these viruses.

Depression and chronic mood disorders can manifest themselves through physical symptoms, said an expert at Baylor College of Medicine.

"Physical symptoms often drive a patient to see a primary care physician, and then the diagnosis of depression may emerge," said Dr. Sanjay Mathew, associate professor in the Menninger Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at BCM.

Symptoms include gastrointestinal syndromes or chronic pain conditions. Many patients will have diagnoses of both a physical illness as well as depression.

The first step is to get a complete medical history and physical exam to rule out any medical conditions before making a psychiatric diagnosis.

Certain types of antidepressants and medications that help treat seizures also help with the physical symptoms of depression at low doses. This can help avoid the use of multiple medications.

- Kids Stuff-

If you’ve ever played outside, chances are you’ve been bugged by insects or other crawly creatures. Maybe unwelcome ants joined you at a picnic in the park or a bee buzzed around your head while you were playing catch.

None of this may have bothered you — unless you were bitten or stung. Ouch! It’s enough to make you stay indoors. But the outdoors can still be a great place to play if you know a little bit more about insects.

WHY DO BUGS BITE OR STING?Insects like bees, wasps, and hornets and other creatures like spiders and

scorpions usually attack when they feel like they’re in danger. Sometimes they are protecting their territory, web, or nest. Other insects, such as mosquitoes and ticks, suck blood in order to survive. The female mosquito needs blood so that she can lay her eggs. (The male mosquito does not bite at all!) Ticks are parasites, which means they live on other animals and need to suck blood to live.

WHAT ARE BUG BITES AND STINGS?Insects and other bugs can inject venom (say: veh-num) into your skin

when they bite or sting you. Usually, venom is like soap in your eyes — it doesn’t really hurt you, but it’s not very comfortable. It will make a small, itchy bump no bigger than a pea form on your skin. When you scratch, your skin becomes red and more itchy. A tick bite can cause a red rash that looks a little like a bull’s-eye (this may take as long as a week, or even more). In the case of bee stings, the area becomes swollen and a stinger might be left in the skin.

DOES IT HURT?In most cases bug bites are not serious and only hurt for a little while.

The itching is the most irritating part of most bites and stings. Some bites or stings, such as a bite from a scorpion or a black widow spider, may require a trip to the emergency department. But this doesn’t happen very often. An adult will know whether this trip is necessary.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?If anything bites or stings you, make sure you let an adult know. He or

she will look at the bite or sting to see what needs to be done. If a mosquito bites you, try not to scratch. It’s hard sometimes, but scratching will make the itch worse and can cause the bite to swell, bleed, or get infected. If you are stung by a bee, an adult can help you get the stinger out quickly. Have an adult wash the area with soap and water, and apply ice to the sting on

and off for the first 24 hours. An antihistamine, which is a type of medicine, can help stop the itching, pain, and swelling. Acetaminophen can also help stop the sting from hurting. Hydrocortisone creams and calamine lotions can be helpful to take away the itch. An adult will decide what medicine is best for you.

TICK TALKIf you find a tick on you, don’t try to remove it yourself. Get an adult to

help you. He or she will grab the tick with tweezers as close to your skin as possible and pull it off in one smooth motion. Once the tick is removed, save it by storing it in a small container or a sealable plastic bag. Don’t try to crush it in your hands. Your doctor may want to see this tick later.

WHEN TO GET HELPSome people have an allergic (say: uh-ler-jik) reaction to the venom that

certain insects, such as bees, inject. If you have trouble breathing, break out in hives (hives are red bumps that show up on your skin), or feel like you are going to throw up after a bee or wasp has stung you, you could be having an allergic reaction. Tell an adult right away so that you can go the emergency department. Once you know you are allergic to bee stings, your doctor will provide you with a special kit. The kit is called an epinephrine kit and will contain a shot of epinephrine (say: eh-pih-neh-frin). You will need this shot if a bee stings you. You should keep this kit with you at all times, especially when you are outside. Make sure an adult is close by to give you the shot if you need it.

STOPPING THE STINGINGYou can keep from getting stung by staying away from bee or wasp

nests. Keep sweet-smelling food or drink covered when you are eating outdoors. And don’t swat at flying insects — it just makes them angry, causing them to bite or sting. If you go hiking, wear a long-sleeved shirt and pants tucked into your socks and shoes to avoid ticks. And always have an adult check you for ticks if you’ve been playing in the woods. The best way to avoid being bitten by spiders or scorpions is to avoid places where they like to make their homes, like woodpiles. Playing outside is a lot of fun — bugs or no bugs. With a little bit of care, you can have fun even when the insects come marching in!
