When you change out the batteries for your flashlight, camera or other devices, what do you do with the used ones? Do you guiltily throw them in the trash, like most people? After all, they are described as single use or “throw-away” batteries. But where do they end up? In the landfill mostly. The same could be said for used computer ink cartridges.
The Boulder City High School Eagles football team will host its second annual Military and First Responders Appreciation Night at Friday’s home game against the Pahrump Valley Trojans.
I feel like the old gray mare. I kick and wrestle against the bar of life, but still the whiffletree of years ravage my body. (Knowing what a whiffletree is dates me — it is the bar that stabilizes the harness behind a team of horses).
There’s no place like home, especially for Boulder City High School’s girls volleyball program, which after a rough opening week of play started its home slate Sept. 1 with a crucial 3-1 (27-25, 19-25, 26-24, 25-22) victory over Class 4A program Basic.
The feeling at the Eagles’ football practice Tuesday was one of relief coming off of Friday’s huge 42-0 victory over 2A program Lake Mead.
Here is more information on some of the basic functions of the Boulder City Police Department and what each provides to the citizens we serve.
1 POOL PAWTY: The Boulder City Pool will host the second annual Soggy Doggy pool party Saturday. Friday marks the last day of the summer for the municipal pool, and to bid farewell to those dog days be sure to bring your favorite furry friend for a jump in the water before the facility is shut down for two weeks of cleaning and preparation for fall and winter. All dog owners will need to bring a Boulder City dog license and proof of up-to-date shots. The Soggy Doggy party will start at 9 a.m. and end at noon. The pool will reopen Sept. 26.

Fall is a refreshing time. Summer vacations wind down, classes resume, temperatures drop, sports teams take the field, fall festivals grab our attention, and residents increasingly venture out to garden, exercise and enjoy the beautiful weather.
Boulder City Police are joining with other law enforcement agencies to remind the public that school has started and it’s time to “Slow Your Roll.” Time to get prepared for the onslaught of excited students rushing to see their friends, meet their teachers, and exert a little “independence” from the parental unit. It’s time to change your driving habits and prepare for periodic heavy traffic in school zones or various points along the way. Drivers and parents play an important role in enhancing safety by obeying traffic laws and speed limits, not passing other cars or making U-turns in school zones, and avoiding double parking and stopping on crosswalks. Red zones are no parking zones any time, as well.
