TENNIS UPDATE
Myke Loomis Landauer
As we approach the end of season, we must thank you all for your patience and support of the new court project. It has been a long, sometimes noisy and dirty process, but we persevered and got it done.I also want to thank Lee for all the hundreds of trips with her wagon back and forth with ice and water to keep us all hydrated through the unusually hot and dry winter. Soon we will have power running back to where the ice machines go, and we can ditch the wagon!
April has been full of fun activities since winter leagues have ended. Below are some pictures of these fun events

FEATURED RECIPE
Marc Petralia Executive Chef
AVOCADO CORN RELISH
In this refreshing relish, corn kernels are lightly cooked just to develop their flavor and then mixed with chunks of smoky roasted chiles, luxurious avocado and crunchy sharp scallions Such a relish can easily take the place of a cooked sauce with casual foods like grilled skirt steak or fish This relish can be eaten right off the spoon or with nothing more than tortilla chips
Ingredients:
¾ cup olive oil
4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 5 ears)
1 Tablespoon Sea/Kosher salt
¾ Tablespoon ground black pepper
2 Haas Avocados, peeled and seeded
1 large red bell pepper, cored and seeded
4 poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, and seeded
4 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced on the bias
½ cup red wine vinegar
Directions:
Heat ½ cup of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat Saute the corn with the salt and pepper, about 5 minutes Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool
Cut the avocados, bell pepper, and roasted poblanos into ¼ inch dice Add to the sauteed corn along with the scallions, red wine vinegar, and remaining ¼ cup olive oil Mix well and let sit 20 to 30 minutes to blend the flavors
Serve at room temperature Corn relish can be stored, lightly covered, in the refrigerator To make 2 to 3 days in advance, mix all ingredients EXCEPT the avocado and store in the refrigerator Add the avocado shortly before serving
To roast the poblano peppers heat oven to 425 degrees and roast 10-15 minutes until the skin is blistered and charred.
Peel skin of the poblano prior to using in the relish

& BEVERAGE
HOW TO LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE IN THE MODERN AGE
What if you could transform your life today and start feeling better tomorrow? What if it wasn’t that big of a deal to do so? And what if you didn’t need to spend a fortune to get there either? You know what would also be nice? If you could transform not just your physical appearance, but also the way you think about yourself and your life This can seem like an overwhelming commitment at first, but once you break it down and think about it as a holistic process rather than a giant leap, it seems much more achievable. After all, we ’ re talking about 5 minutes per day. That’s all it takes!
Exercise daily
Exercise is the ultimate way to increase your metabolic rate and burn fat while improving your health and well-being Whether you choose to go to the gym, run around the block, or climb a tree, the most important thing is to do something. The best part is that even if you aren’t that great at it, doing something will give you a sense of accomplishment and increase your confidence There’s really no excuse for not being active All you need is a pair of comfortable shoes and about 30 minutes a day There are so many benefits to being active, including: Better Sex Increased Energy Improved Mood Improved Mental Health Lower Risk of Heart Disease
Increased Immunity Greater Sex Drive Stronger Bones Stronger Muscles
Eat healthy
Eating healthy is crucial for boosting your metabolism, building strong bones and teeth, and preventing heart disease and many cancers. It’s also essential for maintaining a healthy weight, and for keeping your energy levels up too It can be difficult to know what to eat, especially when you ’ re throwing yourself a party This is why it’s important to have a healthy diet that consists of a variety of fresh produce, wholegrains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy products. You should also limit your intake of sugary drinks, processed foods, saturated fats, salt, and sugary snacks. There are so many healthy food options that you can choose from, such as: Fresh Fruit Nuts and Seeds Low-Fat Dairy Products Lean Proteins wholegrains
Learn something new
If you think about it, we ’ re all in this thing called life for a reason: to learn, grow, and experience new things There’s no way you ’ re going to be able to do that if you ’ re constantly worried about money and your bills The best way to learn new things and expand your knowledge is by getting inspired by other people and what they’ve achieved. There are so many different ways you can do this. You can watch documentaries, read blogs, attend seminars, or simply listen to what other people have to say The more you do this, the more you’ll realize how much you don’t know and how much there is still to learn This will boost your confidence, give you the ability to understand new concepts, and make you feel more optimistic about the future.
