    March 2019 Northeast Newsletter Clark County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick 500 South Grand Central Parkway Box 551601 Las Vegas, NV. 89155-1601 702-455-3500 Dear Residents, Thank you so much for taking the time to be engaged in your community. We are looking forward to some projects breaking ground this spring or early summer. While I know it’s frustrating that government is slow, we run into challenges because we must abide by state law. Additionally, we have to compete with the private sector in getting both engineering and architectural companies to work on County projects. We love hearing from you, so feel free to reach out anytime. Marilyn 1 Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick, Vice President of Southwest Gas Operations John Hester and Mayor Al Litman Marilyn has been working on bringing natural gas to Mesquite since 2012 when she served as an Assemblywoman in the Nevada Legislature and has continued working towards this goal after becoming a Clark County Commissioner in 2016. Marilyn was able to see all the effort come to fruition on February 13, 2019 as Danielle’s Chocolates & Popcorn became the first business to use natural gas in Mesquite. Marilyn knew bringing natural gas to Mesquite would serve as a benefit to attract diverse businesses to the area and would give homeowners more options. 2 A hero can be defined in many Resident of the Month ways, this month we’re happy to recognize Luke Minogue for the bravery and selfless act of kindness he showed to a woman in distress. On June 8, 2018 Luke assisted in saving the life of a woman who was contemplating suicide while standing on a bridge over the I-15.

Without movement there is no life”. • People are always exchanging things – ideas. • The symbols used is rock art are used to tell a story at the level of the student. Therefore the same panel can mean different things to different people depending on your level of understanding. • The ancestors used symbols rather that “writing” because they realized that the language would change over time.

  • Chronicling Moapa Valley Strength and Character Revealed on the Margins of the Muddy River
    Chronicling Moapa Valley Strength and Character Revealed on the Margins of the Muddy River. This is the story of one public art project, commissioned and funded by the Clark County Department of Parks & Recreation and The County Arts Plan, in 2017, and how that original project was adapted and expanded, to join energies with the local communities to support the creation of three different and distinct permanent art installations, at three separate public facilities in Moapa Valley, in the span of two years. “Through the Muddy” – Moapa Valley Community Center Mural, by Gig Depio, dedicated December 2018 The Heart and Spirit of Moapa Valley – Moapa Valley Recreation Center Scaled Artwork Installation “They Were Dauntless” – March 2017 Artwork by Heidi Leavitt, dedicated Dec. 2018 “Source” – March 2017 Artwork by Joan Rainey Day, dedicated December 2018 “Valued Foundation: In Honor of the Early Moapa Valley Pioneers” – Old Logandale School Museum Mural By Heidi Leavitt, dedicated October 2017 Collectively, these three permanent art installments enhance the local community and pay homage to the rich natural, social and cultural history of the area. Together with the resources housed and archived in both the Lost City Museum and the Old Logandale School Museum, these unique creations of art offer the surrounding communities, as well as visitors to Moapa Valley, a unique, powerful and very personal perspective of some of the peoples, events and activities that have helped to shape its character. Where the Art Began: In 2016 Clark County Public Art Program invited artists in Clark County to submit their qualifications to create a mural design, which would be installed to enhance the main meeting room of the Moapa Valley Community Center.
