"we also hire an independent third comes in and they do independent random visits to the park, so we never know when they're coming...they've come out twice so far and we've passed with an elite status" along with the random and routine inspections there are clear guidelines and warnings for guests -- including scales to make sure riders meet height and weight requirements. "we have height checks and every guard goes through a safety schpiel before the guests get on the slides, so they know what the ride is going to be like" safety checks that many parents say make them feel safe on the slides. and while the rides at water parks are not regulated by the government -- the water is. the southern nevada health district performs regular inspections on the parks' water quality and its pools. reporting live, eric hilt, fox5 news local las vegas cowabunga bay says along with do large-scale maintenance during the off seasons. the bees may be gone... but the buzz around the unlicensed business who attempted to remove them from a southwest valley home a week ago...is as loud as ever. fox5's vince sapienza uncovered new information on the business in question... john, cyndi... earlier today i spoke with the owner of toms bee hives on the phone... and the owner... told me very clearly that the reason he does not have a city or county business license is because he is claiming to not be a business at all... he says only sometimes does he actually charge people who call for his services of knocking down bee hives.... he also told me he does not have employees... just people who help him out and collect the bees... the department of agriculture tells me it is true he does not need a license for removing bees... a license is only required if chemicals were involved and he was exterminating them.. but the department also says if he is offering services for money.. that constitutes a business...
