HISTORY:

Moapa Valley has been inhabited since approximately 1000 B.C. according to archeological research. The earliest inhabitants were American Indians including the Pueblos until around A.D. 1150, and after that the Paiute Indians. The Moapa Band of Paiutes have a reservation in Moapa,and operate the Moapa Tribal Plaza at the East Entrance of the Valley of Fire State Park.

The Mormons started an agricultural community along the Muddy River at St. Thomas (abandoned and submerged when Hoover Dam was built) in 1864. Additional towns were settled including St. Joseph (currently Logandale), Overton, Westpoint (currently Moapa), and Kaolin (suffered the same fate as St. Thomas).

  • An evening of food, entertainment and surprises awaited the family of Dennis Freeman last Wednesday. Approximately 200 people came to honor the recently deceased Logandale resident at a community Dutch oven dinner.

  • Chances are good that Quail Hollow Farms in Overton will be able to serve cut tomatoes at its annual Tomato Tasting event this summer without worrying about passing a full health inspection. The same would go for the gourmet Farm To Fork Dinner event held on the farm each year in the Fall.

  • Witness testimony, given in the Moapa Justice Court last week, told of the harrowing details of an automobile accident which occurred on March 30 on I-15 near mile marker 100. The accident claimed the lives of five people and injured two others.

  • No one asked me but… What better time than Memorial Day to answer ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s question, “What difference does it make?” You will recall when she was asked about the cause of the death of those in Benghazi, her reply was “What difference does it make?” She went on to indicate that it did not matter whether it was a mob incited by a video or an organized attack by a terrorist organization four Americans are dead.

  • The Obama Administration felt the backlash from liberal media sources this past week and appears to be reeling from a sudden realization that they aren’t in Kansas anymore. First it was Jon Stewart, whose Comedy Central “news” broadcast is must see tv for many of Obama’s under 30 voter base. While dismissing Benghazi, Stewart goes apoplectic on Obama over the IRS and then breaking Associated Press investigations scandals.

  • Last week I stopped by Sage Health and Empowerment Center for a few supplements. I was greeted warmly by owners Deborah and Nathan Henrie. The store has a variety of items besides vitamins and supplements such as gluten-free foods and organic apples
