Federal Government Turns Patch of Heaven into a Living Hell
(Team Hof) – Victor Fuentes, a pastor and exile from Fidel Castro’s Cuban hell-hole, bought a 40-acre piece of property in Nye County over a decade ago and built a summer camp for his congregation.
A stream ran through this parched piece of desert and the property, as described in a 2015 story in the Las Vegas Sun, was green and “alive with flowers and trees.” He named it “Patch of Heaven.”
And then the federal government destroyed it.
Seven years ago the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service diverted the stream from around Fuentes’ property, leaving Patch of Heaven a desert wasteland. “The grassy lawns,” the Sun reports, “have receded into barren earth while trees withered and died.”
Adding insult to injury, the channel the government built to divert the stream “overflowed during a massive rainstorm in December 2010, flooding the Fuentes’ property and depositing several inches of mud and rock throughout.”
Fuentes has sued to get the government to return the stream and pay for the flood damages. The government has told him to pound sand.
Dennis Hof, Republican candidate for Assembly District 36 – in which Patch of Heaven is located – recently interviewed Mr. Fuentes’ wife, Annette, for an update on the family’s fight with the federal government.
In the interview, Dennis asked Annette if incumbent Assemblyman James Oscarson, who has represented the district for the last six years, has helped right this wrong.
“No, he has not,” Annette responded. “He doesn’t even come out here. We haven’t heard from him.”
Well, help is on the way. Dennis is running against Mr. Oscarson in the June 12 Republican primary. And when he’s successful, the Fuentes’ will have a new champion in their corner!
