September offers something for everyone at Boulder City Library

As the heat finally comes down outside, inside the library we have cooked up some amazing events for this upcoming September that we’re excited to tell you all about. No matter what age our patrons are, we pride ourselves on having something for everyone, and our programming schedule for September is no exception.

Looking back on Sept. 11

In just over two weeks, the nation will honor the 25th anniversary of one of the worst days in the history of this country.

What is long-term care?

Long-term care refers to a range of services and support for people who need help with everyday activities over an extended period due to aging, chronic illness, disability, injury, or cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Veterans, seniors: Scarcity of low-cost housing

Housing of all types for all sorts of individuals seems to be a buzz-word these days. But seniors and veterans especially seem to be lacking when it comes to locating reasonably affordable residences in reasonably decent neighborhoods around the state. What’s a body to do?

Now, that’s a really good idea !

We generally expect our leaders to be educated, smart, and well-informed. More often than not, we support, elect, and follow those who appear to have an answer for everything. But good leaders don’t know everything. And the very best ones know that they don’t know everything.

Sound decisions keep Boulder City costs down

Boulder City residents occasionally ask how the city is able to have one of the lowest property tax rates in the state, and still provide needed functions such as police, fire, and public parks. In addition to land leases that provide 35% of our general fund budget, we also look at ways to keep costs down. As the city’s Purchasing, Grants and Risk manager for the last eight years, I have seen the city make decisions that keep us lean.

A quick heart-to-heart with BC

I have a lot on my heart these days. The good news is that my heart is in great health. So… allow me to start with that.

Celebrating America with love

The USA is the longest standing democratic republic in the history of the world. Much history has passed since the country declared its independence from Great Britain, hasn’t it? Even the king of England celebrated our independence by visiting the United States of America in April of this year.

The dog days of summer (vacation)

For most Boulder City kids, summer vacation is quickly coming to an end as classes are set to begin the second week of August.

Brace yourself for a fun school year

While the summer may be wrapping up, we have some great resources to help you get ready for school and some amazing programs in August. No matter what grade you are going into, whether it’s kindergarten or grad school, the library has a database or program for you.

My memories of Goldie Begley

For four years now I’ve covered the annual Boulder City Chamber of Commerce dinner and awards night. And for four years there’s a part that always gets me a bit misty-eyed.

Starry, Starry Night

This week is primary election week. And if we had a vote on pollution, I’m pretty sure what the outcome would be.

Shaka, rattle and roll

Earlier this month, it was reported that a couple of minor earthquakes hit Nevada, which should come as no surprise to many considering our proximity to the San Andreas Fault.

City grants CUP to Methodist Church

The Boulder City United Methodist Church cleared a major hurdle last week in its desire to build a church of its own; something it’s wished to do for two decades.
