It's All About Water
Mesquite, NV.: Last Thursday Barbara Ellestad, for Battle Born Media (BBM), published another article stating her opinion on the legal status of the case between the owners of the Wolf Creek Golf course and the Virgin Valley Water Board (VVWB).
In part 5 of here proposed 6-part attack on the owners of Wolf Creek, she again attempts to convince her readers that the VVWB has an absolute right to set the price of public water used for irrigation on Wolf Creek. That seems to be her theme: elected officials have an “absolute right” to do whatever they want and whenever they want.
This is a response to part 4 of Battle Born Media’s (BBM) of a 6-part series in which they through their “reporter” Barbara Ellestad, attempt to blame. BBM originally scheduled five parts. Now they have added a 6th part to discredit individuals who support Wolf Creek. We will write to those acquisitions when they appear.
In part one BBM “reporter” Barbara Ellestad grossly misrepresented the May 2018 lawsuit filed by Paradise Canyon, LLC, owner the Wolf Creek golf club against the Valley Water District (VVWD).
In Part 2, Ellestad twisted the facts in a 2011 lease agreement between the two parties as she tries to defend the VVWD.
In part 3, she continues to take selective comments from a deposition taken by Virgin Valley Water District attorney Jedediah (Bo) Bingham involving Cory Clemetson, a partner with his brother in Paradise Canyon as if that confrontation somehow proves that the case lacks merit. Also, in Part 3, Ellestad attempted but failed to make the point that the VVWD could claw back alleged unused water from Wolf Creek and lease that potion to the Nevada Water Authority (SNWA).
In part 4, Ellestad returns to her theme that the Virgin Valley Water Board (VVWB) has sole discretion to set water rates and again uses selective wording from the Bingham-Clemetson deposition.
