Soccer, Anyone?
Meet Your Neighbor Eddy Biren
“Soccer is how I ended up in Las Vegas,” recalled Eddy Biren, who is the subject of the Neighbors feature in the June Link. Eddy, who is 78 years old, shares the story of his lifelong passion for the game. In the late 1950s, Eddy played professional soccer for Team Lazio in Italy and during the early 1960s, he competed as a member of the Canadian National Team.
“When I was 40, I used to think I hope I can play soccer when I am 50, and when I was 50, I said ‘I hope to play when I am 60 and so on.’ Now I will be 80 in a few years and I hope I will be playing at 80, as long as I can,” he said. Eddy has been playing soccer since he was 6 years old.
Whether you are a soccer fan or not, you will enjoy learning more about Eddy. Be sure to read his story on Page 40 of the June Link.

A Service Dog Is Serious Business
Residents will notice recent posters placed at the entrances of the community and fitness centers, alerting residents to the validity of service animal badges. If your dog is not a bonafide service animal, with proper credentials and training, please DO NOT try to pass it off as one. Fake service animals hurt the reputation of valid ADA service animals and the people who truly need their assistance.
Remember to Pause for Your Dog's Paws
While it seems like we got a reprieve from Mother Nature this week in the high temperature department, the sizzling summer heat will be here in no time. And with high temperatures comes even hotter cement and asphalt. Please be kind to your dog and remember that if you wouldn’t walk barefoot on the sidewalk, then neither should he/she. If your furry friend needs to get out, then plan a stroll in the early morning hours before the sun hits it high spot in the sky.
Desert Vista Picnic Area to Get New Grass
Landscape Department crew members have started a turf restoration project at the Desert Vista picnic area that is expected to last three weeks. The area should reopen around the week of June 11. When completed, the picnic area will once again be green with lush, soft turf and ready for your club or community organization’s event.
