It is not unusual here in Nevada to have an individual who always gives herself or himself to the work both for the people and in Lord, because she or he knows that her or his labor for the people and in Lord is not in vain. Whenever we do, work at it with all our heart, as working for the Lord, not solely for men, since we know that we will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward.
"WHEREAS, it is an honor and privileg for the Board of County Commissioners to recognize those extraordinary individuals, groups, or programs which enrich the lives of many in our community; and

U. S. Congresswoman Shelley Berkley Succeeds in Adding Land Transfer for New Southern Nevada VA Medical Complex to Omnibus Spending Bill
Will Provide Approx. 150 Acres for Hospital, Long Term Care Facility & Outpatient Clinic*1
By Office of Congresswoman Shelley Berkley
[November 19, 2004]
(Washington, DC -- November 19, 2004) U. S. Representative Shelley Berkley*2 (D-NV) today successfully added legislative language to an omnibus spending bill that will provide 147 acres of land in southern Nevada for the construction of a new full-service VA hospital, outpatient clinic and long term care facility.
Attaching this land transfer to a must pass spending bill ensures that the acreage selected for our new VA medical complex will be available in the very near future. As a member of the Veterans Affairs Committee, I have worked tirelessly to see that southern Nevada has the needed facilities to provide top-notch care for our growing population of veterans, Berkley said. Rather than wait for a stand-alone bill to work its way through the next Congress, I moved quickly to have legislative language added to the omnibus package. Now that this land transfer is a part of the spending package, it is all but certain to become law. The sooner we get the land, the sooner we can break ground and begin construction.
Berkley worked closely over the past weeks with Senators Reid (D) and Ensign (R) and the other members of Nevada s Congressional Delegation to gather bipartisan support for inclusion of the land transfer language in the omnibus package.
"This project is a thank-you to all those brave men and women who served our nation in uniform and an investment in the future to meet the needs of our newly created veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq, Berkley said. "Our veterans need a single, convenient, accessible campus where they can receive high-quality health care.
A campus to house the trio of new medical facilities will be constructed in Berkley's congressional district near the Las Vegas beltway and Pecos Road, in fast-growing North Las Vegas. As a result of Berkley s efforts, land for the complex valued at $30 million will be transferred from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to the VA at no cost, once the omnibus spending bill is signed.
In addition to her work on transferring the parcel from BLM to the VA, Berkley secured $25 million in funding this Congress to carry out the advance planning necessary for construction of the medical complex. The new VA medical campus is needed to address the shortage of health care services available for veterans in southern Nevada who must currently rely on a series of temporary clinics that were designed to take the place of the A.D. Guy Clinic, which was closed in 2002.
