Another Heritage volunteer, hard at work. Denny Wertheimer repaired the Bocce Ball court scoreboards. New look, not leaning anymore and hopefully wind resistant! Thanks Denny.

Clubhouse volunteers are at it again. Members of handy-person crew repaired more than half of the Duet’s chairs with upgraded, carpet rolling casters. The chairs should roll easier and be more durable with these new casters. The rest will be repaired when more hardware is shipped.”

Here is the latest schedule from Gothic Landscaping.

Heritage’s other “Gun Club.” The caulking gun crew took care of all the loose caps on the outdoor pool planters. The planters really need a complete masonry repair, but that will be for another day. The caps are glued on safely.

What's better than ugly cones? New planters!!

Once again it’s Heritage volunteers to the rescue. New planters installed at the main gate. Jim Reinholdt and Seth Finkel did the hard work and X Ecker took the photos. Diane Ecker also helped by installing the reflector tape on the planters to help avoid collision by visitors.

Diane has released the Updated Heritage Directory. Look for it in your email.

More shopping and restaurants coming to Green Valley

A 100,000-square-foot retail center in Green Valley Ranch called The Cliff will replace an aging office complex in Henderson. Design plans have been unveiled for the open-air retail center at 2500 to 2550 Paseo Verde Parkway just off the 215 Beltway at St. Rose Parkway. The $30 million redevelopment will feature restaurants, including a 26,000-square-foot open but covered outdoor dining lounge, shopping, health and wellness stores over 25 retail spaces and spearheaded by Partners Capital and CNR Retail.Construction is slated to begin this October with the center opening in summer 2025, pending construction permit approval from the city of Henderson. “This location is what restaurants and retailers dream of,” said Chris Clifford, the development lead for CNR Retail. “Not only is Green Valley Ranch one of the most sought out destinations for businesses in the City of Henderson, but the neighborhood is also characterized by younger households with some of the highest average incomes in Nevada.” Henderson is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, according to U.S. Census Bureau statistics.

We appreciate your attention to this safety issue.

Please... after you pick up after yourself, pick up after your dog.

It’s a little hard to believe, but we’re having a problem with chewing gum around the clubhouse. Unless birds are dropping it from the sky, people are actually spitting their gum out on the sidewalks and other paved areas. This gets really messy on the bottom of a shoe. Please use the trash bins.

Speaking of gum… some popular sugar-free chewing gums contain Xylitol as their main ingredient for sweetening. Xylitol is poisonous to dogs and can cause major issues very quickly. Save the dogs – use the trash cans.

What are the most common pickleball injuries?

The overall rate of injuries is likely much higher than previously thought. The new analysis only looked at fractures, not the most common soft tissue injuries like sprained ankles or debilitating knee injuries such as damage to the ACL, or anterior cruciate ligament. Other common pickleball injuries include rotator cuff injuries, worsening of arthritis, Achilles tendon tears/strains and foot fractures.The vast majority of the fractures found in the new study, 92%, occurred during falls.

Women, especially those ages 65 and older, were more likely than men to experience a fracture. Most of those fractures were in upper-body bones, such as those in the forearms and hands. The researchers suspect they were related to osteoporosis or other bone-thinning conditions.

Even though women had more fractures overall, men were 2.3 times more likely to be admitted to the hospital after breaking a bone. Ghattas and her colleagues suspect that’s because men’s fractures tended to be in bones of the lower body, such as the hip and femur, which are more likely to result in a hospital stay than fractures in the upper body.
