We're now a fully secure community!
Please be advised that starting Monday morning, April 13th, the main exit iron swing gates will remain closed at all times (24/7). This change is being implemented to enhance the overall safety and security of our community.We have observed instances of unauthorized vehicles entering the Heritage community by using the exit gates as an access point. Keeping these gates closed will help prevent unauthorized entry through the exit lane and reduce potential safety risks. Additionally, this measure will:
- Force all incoming traffic through the proper security checkpoints
- Support better monitoring and control of vehicle entry and exit points
- Create a natural speed hump as cars must stop or slow down to allow the gates to open
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we implement this change to help protect and improve our community. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the HOA office.

Concerns about e-bike safety that Henderson residents have repeatedly raised are now being written into the city code, bringing new restrictions on who can ride, what riders must wear, and what kind of behavior is allowed on e-bikes. This topic was brought up over and over. It is on the minds of most of the residents in our community,” Henderson Mayor Michelle Romero said at a council meeting earlier this week. Romero said the changes are aimed at addressing ongoing problems. “It is something that is incredibly needed in our community, and it will hopefully prevent future problems,” she said.

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW (of interest to seniors)
Chuck Norris dies at 86
Chuck Norris, veteran, martial arts world champion, action hero and early 2000s Internet meme inspiration, whose rugged demeanor was immortalized on hit show “Walker, Texas Ranger,” has died. He was 86. “It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning,” read a message credited to the Norris family posted to Instagram and Facebook Friday morning. “While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace.” Norris had an unidentified medical emergency in Hawaii on Thursday, according to news reports. The family thanked fans for their prayers during his hospitalization. “He lived his life with faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved,” the post read. “Through his work, discipline, and kindness, he inspired millions around the world and left a lasting impact on so many lives.”
Neil Sedaka dead at 86
Neil Sedaka, one of pop's most enduring songwriters, whose career extended from after World War II to the countercultural days of Elton John, has died, his family said Friday. Sedaka, the writer behind such songs as "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do," "Love Will Keep Us Together" and dozens of other hits, was 86. His cause of death was not clear. “Our family is devastated by the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Neil Sedaka," his family said in a statement to NBC News. Sedaka has had three No. 1 hits, nine Top 10 hits, and 30 songs on the Billboard singles chart, according to the publication. He has performed with, written songs for, or collaborated with Connie Francis, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, Elton John and Clay Aiken. Sedaka was born in New York City's Brooklyn neighborhood and grew up in its Brighton Beach section, the son of a taxi driver, who was the son of Turkish Jewish immigrants, and whose mother was of Polish-Russian Jewish descent, according to a bio from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Sell By - Use By - Best By - Freeze By - You Could Die
Depending on where you live, you may see different dates on your food and each has a different purpose. Here’s a bit of clarity based on information from the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT) and FSIS.2
- Best If Used By/Before: This is a quality assurance date and serves as a “suggestion” for when the taste and quality of food are at their peak. It is not a purchase or safety date.
- Use By: This is the suggested date by when you should eat the food. But just because it’s a day or two past the use-by date doesn’t mean that consuming it will make you sick, although you should evaluate the quality of the food yourself after this time. It is not a safety date, except when used on infant formula.
- Sell By: This is not a safety date, but rather a date for retailers that helps them determine how long an item should remain on the shelf. According to the IFT, “one-third of a product’s shelf-life remains after the sell-by date for the consumer to use at home.”2
- Freeze By: According to the USDA, this date indicates when a product should be frozen to maintain peak quality. It is not a purchase or safety date.
