The “Take Care of Texas” Guide to Yard Care

PLANT SELECTION AND CAREUsing native and well-adapted plants is one of the easiest ways

to create a low-maintenance and environmentally sound yard. The many advantages of using native plants include using less

water, reducing the need for soil modification, and using little or no fertilizer. They are less susceptible to pest problems, and are tolerant of stressful environments such as drought.

Incorporate a variety of plants to provide food and cover for a variety of living things. Diversity also minimizes damage from pests because many of them attack only one plant species. Dense plantings can provide shade that keeps out invading weeds.

Avoid frequent or deep cultivation, which can damage plant roots, dry out the soil, disturb healthy soil organisms, and bring weed seeds to the surface where they can germinate. Cover all bare soil between plants with a solid mulch layer.

The cast of HFAC’s recent production of Godspell wanted to practice what they were performing by giving back to the community. Godspell is a musical based on the parables of the bible. Since this musical has a pretty obvious message, the cast of Godspell and HFAC wanted to incorporate some real life giving to others into the production. So during the song “Bless the Lord”, cast members passed the hat. The cast choose four local charities and each weekend of the run a different charity received the proceeds collected during “Bless the Lord”. The run of Godspell was a success and so were there fundraising efforts with close to $3,500 being raised during twelve performances.

Opening weekend’s featured charity was the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The National MS Society works to improve the quality of like for people affected by MS and raise funds for critical research. http://www.nationalmssociety.org

The following weekend the hat was passed for Cy-Hope. Cy-Hope is for every school in Cy-Fair ISD to earn Exemplary status by making life better for kids in our community. Their vision is to rally the entire community: businesses, education, churches,

Godspell Cast Gives Back to the Communitycivic organizations, hospitals, and individual volunteers to advance the goal of making life better for kids in Cy-Fair, serving the economically, spiritually and relationally disadvantaged children. http://cy-hope.org

The third weekend of Godspell saw donations come in for Houston Rescue & Restore Coalition. HRRC exists to prevent and confront modern-day slavery by educating the public, training professionals and empowering the community to take action for the purpose of identifying, rescuing and restoring trafficking victims to freedom. http://www.houstonrr.org

The phenomenal cast of Godspell closed their run by asking for donation for Star of Hope. Star of Hope is a Christ-centered community dedicated to meeting the needs of homeless men, women and their children. Positive life changes are encouraged through structured programs which focus on spiritual growth, education, employment, life management and recovery from substance abuse. https://www.sohmission.org

HFAC wants to thank the cast, crew and all the patrons of Godspell for their generosity in supporting other local non-profits.

The Houston Family Arts Center (HFAC) announces its 10th mainstage season, which explores life, love and laughter through timeless musicals, zany comedies, a classic murder mystery and a Shakespearean comedy. This exciting line-up begins with the zany, musical comedy Nunsense. After the laugher prepare for mystery with Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, followed by the traditional holiday production of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The New Year opens with the beautiful and touching A Secret Garden. HFAC ends the season with a trip around the world and the first stop is France for a riveting production of The Three Musketeers. Argentina is the next destination with the award winning, Evita. Then on to merry, old England for Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This magical season ends with the patriotic musical, 1776.

Acting Artistic Director, Lisa Garza says, “This is a season that will inspire you to explore the past- in literature, in history, and in yourself. The HFAC 2014-15 Season allows you to experience how others have dealt with grief, danger, power, love, and life. Don›t miss it!”

The season opens with Dan Goggin’s Nunsense, September 5 – 28. With a let’s-put-on-show-attitude, the zany Little Sisters of Hoboken are on a comedy crusade to fund raise their way out of an unfortunate cooking accident. This light-hearted and enduring musical, comedy will make a disciple out of any doubter.

Next is Agatha Christie’s thriller, And Then There Were None. After being stranded on a storm-shrouded rock, an unlikely group of houseguests are picked off one at a time by an unseen killer. Agatha Christie’s spare-no-suspense plotting keeps mystery buffs on the edge of their seats from October 17 – November 9!

For the holidays from November 28 – December 21, HFAC proudly presents Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol. Dickens’ craftily cantankerous Ebenezer Scrooge has no time for charity until three ghostly visitors appear on Christmas Eve. A plum pudding of a show, A Christmas Carol gives you a reason to celebrate the season all year long!

The New Year at HFAC begins February 6 – March 1, with the uplifting children’s story, The Secret Garden. An unlikely hero, spoiled orphan, Mary Lennox blossoms when she learns to cultivate not only an

abandoned garden, but also the lives of those around her. This uplifting children’s classic from 1911 is a musical oasis of redemption and an odyssey of renewal.

From children’s story to swashbuckling, HFAC presents The Three Musketeers. Promising swordsman d’Artagnan, saddled with his plucky tomboy sister, travels to Paris in 1625 to seek his fortunes with the famous trio of heroes. This swashbuckling romp, liberally peppered with nefarious villains, alluring ladies, and narrow escapes, is truly the one-for-all! The action will take place March 20 – April 12.

Evita storms the stage, May 1 – May 24 in HFAC’s next production. For Eva Peron, every crowd has a silver lining. The parabolic career of Argentina’s first lady inspired Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s pop-opera phenomenon. Was she a sainted hero of the working-class or a working-class seductress? This passionate work retains the power to entice and inflame.

Suggested for mature audiencesShakespeare comes to life, June 12 – July

5 with A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The canon’s most enchanted comedy pursues love with calculated abandon! This story of mortal and immortal paramours set in a mythical forest is one that will cast a spell on lovers of all ages.

Closing this exciting season, July 24 – August 16, is the American musical, 1776. With revolutionary immediacy, our lofty founding fathers are found to be genuine people who debate, bargain, and fray one another’s nerves as they struggle on the tortuous road to independence. This musical witness to the creation of one of the most eloquent documents in history will stir the soul of every American.

The Modern Game: The Top Spin Backhand

By USPTA/PTR Master Professional Fernando Velasco

TENNISTIPS

Look in the next Newsletter for: “The Modern Game: The Forehand Approach Forehand Volley”

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 be already playing for leagues or tournaments and are looking for more “weapons” on the court. In this issue, I will offer instructions on how to execute the Top Spin Backhand. This shot is used when a player is presently hitting the ball long and out. The ball will be aimed high over the net and hit with power. The ball will have a “top spin” so that when the ball hits the court, it will take a big hop, forcing the opponent to fall back close to the fence, or to hit the ball on the rise.

In the illustrations, Tyler Duncum, one of the top players of the Grey Rock Tennis Academy, shows the proper technique to execute this stroke. Tyler is coached by the Director of the Tennis Academy, Darin Pleasant. This shot can also be executed from the service line as an “approach shot” to the net.

Step 1: The Back Swing: When Tyler is pulled wide to her backhand, she makes a quick turn of her upper body and takes her racket back. The head of the racket is now at waist height, her shoulders are turned, the left hand holding the racket, and her right hand changing to the

“continental grip”. She has loaded her left hip to help her drive her weight forward. Her left grip is relaxed and her wrist is “laid back” to allow maximum point of contact.

Step 2: The Point of Contact: The success of a top spin shot is keeping the ball on the strings going from low to high in a 30 degree angle and accelerating the racket head around the outside of the ball. Tyler started the swing high and “looped” it to allow the head of the racket to drop down. She will be brushing around the outside of the ball as she makes contact with it. Her right shoulder is almost opening and her weight has now been shifted toward the front.

Step 3: The Follow Through: In order to get maximum control and power, Tyler is keeping her left arm almost straight as she extends through the shot. She has “snapped” her left wrist and her right hand helps with the stability and power. She has now allows her left side to transfer forward towards the net.

Step 4: The Finish: Tyler’s upper body acceleration is creating a high finish over her right shoulder. Her legs are already in position to recover back towards the middle of the court.

Step 5: The Ready Position: Once Tyler returns the ball to her opponent, she goes back home (towards the center of the court), to be ready for the next shot. Her knees are slightly flexed, she is in a good athletic stance and her eyes are focused on the oncoming ball.

News You Can Use

If you’ve read the newspaper lately, you know that the world can be a scary place: wars, economic crisis, revolutions, climate change, border disputes, refugees, and protests. So, how do we teach our children about the world, and the variety of people in it, when most of the examples we read about in the press are so negative?

One life changing way to broaden your child’s world view is to volunteer to host a high school foreign exchange student. Foreign exchange programs have been around for almost 100 years, and their mission has always been the same – to educate people about different cultures through person-to-person exchange. What better message to pass on to your children?

There are quite a few misconceptions about foreign exchange programs – especially around who can host. The biggest misconception is that you must have high school aged children when you host a high school exchange student. Nothing could be further from the truth.

“We welcome host families of all shapes and sizes – families with young children, families with no children, empty nesters whose children have left home, single parents and non-traditional families,”

says Heather Wells, Senior Regional Director for Ayusa, a non-profit promoting global learning and leadership through foreign exchange and study abroad opportunities for high school students. “The key requirements for a host family are to provide a safe and nurturing home environment, genuinely love children, and have a desire to learn more about a different culture.”

Families with young children find that hosting an exchange student provides their children with an especially unique educational experience in the form of an international big brother or sister. Without even realizing it, children learn about different types of people and different cultural traditions.

Volunteer host families provide foreign exchange students a nurturing environment, three meals a day and a bedroom (either private or shared with a host sibling of the same gender). Each host family and student is supported by a professionally trained community representative who works with the family and student for the entire program. All interested host families must pass a criminal background check and a home visit by an exchange organization.

Foreign exchange students come from all over the world. Ayusa matches host families with students from more than 60 different countries including Argentina, China, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Germany, Japan, Lebanon, Norway, Pakistan, Sweden, Thailand, Tunisia and Turkey. All high school foreign exchange students are fully insured, bring their own spending money, and are proficient in English – and all high school exchange programs are regulated by the U.S. Department of State.

Interested host families are required to fill out an application, pass a background check and interview with a local exchange program representative in their homes. Once accepted to a program, host families can view profiles of students to find the right match for their family.

Ayusa is currently accepting applications for families to host an exchange student for the 2014-2015 school year. For more information about hosting a high school foreign exchange student, please contact Ayusa at 1.888.552.9872 or by visiting the website at www.ayusa.org.

Sunburn is caused from over-exposure to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. While the symptoms (such as red skin that is painful to the touch) are usually temporary, the skin damage is often permanent and can cause serious long-term health effects, including skin cancer, pigmentation and premature aging. In addition to the skin, eyes can get burned from sun exposure; sunburned eyes turn red, dry, and painful, and can feel gritty.

Sunburn results when the amount of exposure to the sun or other ultraviolet light source exceeds the ability of the body’s protective pigment, melanin, to protect the skin. Sunburn in a very light-skinned person may occur in less than 15 minutes of midday sun exposure, while a dark skinned person may tolerate the same exposure for hours.

Sunlight contains an invisible form of radiation called ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV A and possibly UV B can harm skin, connective tissue and increase risk for developing skin cancer. Certain drugs such as some blood pressure medication, antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs increase sensitivity to sunlight and the risk of getting sunburn.

SYMPTOMS The first signs of a sunburn may not appear for a few hours. The

full effect to your skin may not appear for 24 hours or longer. Possible symptoms include:

• Red, tender skin that is warm to touch. (1st degree burn)• Blisters that develop hours to days later. (2nd degree burn) • Severe reactions (sometimes called “sun poisoning”), including

fever, chills, nausea, or rash. • Skin peeling on sunburned areas several days after the sunburn.

FIRST AID • Try taking a cool bath or shower. Or place wet, cold wash cloths on

the burn for 10 to 15 minutes, several times a day. You can mix baking soda in the water to help relieve the pain. Small children may become easily chilled, so keep the water tepid.

• Apply a soothing lotion to the skin. • Aloe gel is a common household remedy for sunburns. Aloe contains

active compounds that help stop pain and inflammation of the skin. • Over-the-counter steroid cream can also be applied several times a day. • Over-the-counter pain medication, such as nonsteroidal anti-

inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, including aspirin, may be helpful, and are excellent for reducing burn inflammation whereas Tylenol only reduces pain, not the burn itself. For more information, check out: www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/
