It should be good. That topography looks more like Tuscon than Las Vegas area. I guess we will find out soon.

This is an interesting little town tucked into a tiny valley way out toward the Utah border. Oddly enough, this town is tied to more than one cult. The FLDS have many ties to this town and often cross the border from Utah to marry in Nevada here.
I think Warren Jeffs even had a safehouse here.

"Underage "child bride" polygamous marriages were performed for years in room #15 at the Caliente Hot Springs Motel in Caliente, Nevada."

The motel is owned & operated by FLDS members.

SNIP:


CALIENTE, Nev. -- Former patients and employees are speaking out about a Nevada drug rehab center they describe as having mold and lice – and requires patients to try to move objects with their mind.

Narconon, an unlicensed rehabilitation center in Caliente, Nev., is connected to the Church of scientology, but many parents sending their children there claim they were never told that.

The I-Team has been investigating Narconon for nearly three years. The center is about 100 miles northeast of Las Vegas in Lincoln County.

Re: More Narconon abuse alleged at Rainbow Canyon.

Just to give Google a wider target (shameless bump)

From David Edgar Love:
Another Scientology drug rehab center, Narconon Fresh Start in Nevada (Rainbow Canyon Retreat), is facing a lawsuit concerning a 15-year-old who was bullied, abused and branded with a hot iron. This disturbing story broke this morning on Tony Ortega’s website “The Underground Bunker.”

The parents, Mark and Nicole Peet, represented by lawyer Richard W. Sears from Nevada, are suing for the $39,000 they paid to Narconon and for medical bills, pain and suffering, and punitive damages.

Re: Nathan Baca - Update April 2013 - Narconon Las Vegas

Here's an update from reporter Nathan Baca....

http://www.8newsnow.com/story/21926312/i-team-bill-allow-inspectors-scientology-run-center


LAS VEGAS -- Nevada state health agencies want to open up a Scientology-run drug rehabilitation center for inspections.
The move comes after an I-Team investigation highlighting years of patient complaints and allegations of dangerous conditions.
Narconon is a drug rehab center in Lincoln County, 150 miles north of Las Vegas.
State health officials said they want to open up Narconon for inspections for the first time.
From sweating out alien spirits, to lifting objects with their mind, what happens at the drug rehab center is far from scientifically accepted.

Because Narconon accepts no state money, current law prevents state inspectors from verifying Narconon's claims.
After the I-Team alerted lawmakers to the growing number of Narconon complaints, state health agencies now aim to close the legal loophole.
"That is what this bill is intended to do, is to allow us to have oversight over those facilities now we don't have currently licensed," said Marla McDade Williams of the Nevada Health Division.
The state Senate Health Committee plans to vote Thursday on Senate Bill 501, which would give state inspectors power to inspect all drug and alcohol rehab centers, Narconon included.
The bill would then need to pass the Assembly before a signature from the governor.

Good news.

This is good news for Nevada. I hope that all other states follow suit, although I doubt if California will ever get their act together on this topic. There are too many new age-y things going on in this state that fill politicians' coffers for anything serious to happen.

Oh....completely OT, but where the heck is Smurf these days? Anyone know if he's OK? I haven't seen him around anywhere in awhile.
