Happening in Henderson: Humps, Heat, and Hockey

Henderson is grappling with several key issues affecting residents. The city is currently reviewing the status of two camels, Moses and Abraham, owned by a local petting zoo, due to concerns raised by a new animal control officer. A petition to "Save Our Community Camels" has garnered significant support, and the issue is headed to a Planning Commission hearing on April 16th.

Experts cite the influx of residents from California and Washington as a contributing factor.

On a positive note, Intermountain Health has opened a new clinic on Corporate Circle, offering senior primary care, oncology, and pediatrics.
