Bella Vista - July 2014

Copyright © 2014 Peel, Inc. Bella Vista Bulletin - July 2014 1

July 2014 Official Publication of the Bella Vista Homeowners Association Volume 6, Issue 7

The Board met on June 4 and minutes will be posted to the Bella Vista website (www.bellavista-hoa.com/bellavista/home.asp) after Board approval in July. Please note that the location of the board meetings has changed to RealManage’s new office as noted below. Due to the upcoming holiday, the next meeting will be held on Wednesday, July 9 at 6 pm.

Annual Meeting – We had a great turnout at the annual meeting on May 21. Veronica Frederick, James Smith and John Shumaker were elected for a two year term. Unfortunately the ability to vote electronically did not increase the voter participation as was hoped by the Board. The annual meeting presentation including a financial summary and ideas for future projects is posted on the Bella Vista website (http://www.bellavista-hoa.com/bellavista/home.asp) under “Documents” and category “Annual Meeting Information”.

Policy – The Board has updated the Pool Policy/Guidelines which is being reviewed by the attorney. A final version will be provided in the next newsletter and posted to the website.

Annexation – The City and MUDs continue to negotiate toward a resolution for limited annexation and we hope to have an update on July 7 at the Bella Vista MUD Board Meeting.

Landscaping – In May, Greater Texas Landscapes installed new mulch and rock in common areas along Plaza Bella Way, Campanello Way and near the pool. Grass was no longer growing in these areas and the Board decided to cap the sprinklers and install rock for a long term, drought resistant solution. We hope you enjoy the new look.

DRV – The Board is reviewing the language used in letters regarding deed restriction violations to ensure the recommendations for resolution are in accordance with the Master DCCR. Please note that staining fences is not required but may be a suitable solution for areas where sprinklers can cause fading.

Activities – The Board is pleased to announce that Yard of the Month winners will now receive a $25 gift card to a local nursery. Also, the program will run from May through Christmas to include holiday decorations and lighting.

NOTE NEW LOCATION:Monthly Board meetings begin at 6pm at the RealManage office, 9601

Amberglen Blvd, Suite 150, Bldg G, Austin TX 78729 (next to Lifetime Fitness on RR 620 service road) on the first Wednesday of each month, and a notice is

posted on the Bella Vista website at least 3 days before the meeting.

The Modern Game: The Top Spin Forehand

By USPTA/PTR Master Professional Fernando Velasco

TENNISTIPS

Look in the next Newsletter for: “The Modern Game: The Backhand Top Spin”

In previous newsletters, I offered tips on how to execute the basic strokes for players who are starting to play tennis or who want to get back into the game.

From this newsletter on, I will be 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 Forehand. This shot is used when a player is now 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, Danny Rodriguez, Director of the Pre-Advanced Tennis Program at the Grey Rock Tennis Club, shows the proper technique to execute this stroke. This shot can also be executed from the service line as an “approach shot” to the net.

Step 1: The Ready Position: When Danny prepares to hit

a forehand top spin, he will change his grip toward the “semi-western” or “full western grip” (The palm of the hand is flat on the handle). His knees are slightly flexed and his eyes are focused on the oncoming ball.

Step 2: The Back Swing: Danny is now ready to perform the shot. The head of the racket is now above is head, his shoulders are turned, the left hand is in front to help him keep the center of gravity in front, and he has loaded his weight to the back foot. His grip is relaxed and his wrist is “laid back” to allow maximum point of contact.

Step 3: 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. Danny started the swing high and “looped” it to allow the head of the racket ti drop down. He will be brushing the ball as he makes contact with it. His left shoulder is almost opening and his weight has now been shifted toward the front.

Step 4: The Follow Through: Notice Danny’s finish above his left ear and his elbow pointing toward his target. He has now shifted his weight on his right foot and is ready to shuffle back to his home base.
