This is one of my favorite weeks of the year. It’s the one week that brings out the kid in all of us as Boulder City ushers in the holiday season with a flurry of festive activities. I can’t wait.
Boulder City High School senior Abby Sauerbrei has been swimming since she was 6 years old, and on Nov. 16, after more than a decade in the water, her dedication paid off when she accepted a scholarship and signed her national letter of intent to attend Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan, near Grand Rapids.

The Boulder City High School boys basketball program fell victim to 4A opponent Valley High School 50-33 in its season opener, but head coach John Balistere sees a lot of promise in this year’s team, having no problem scheduling higher-classed opponents regularly for the Eagles to face off against.

There are many agencies that offer the promise of employment to veterans. While few, if any, offer high-paying, executive level positions, they are often good starting points for newly minted veterans and part-time National Guard members and reservists.

The holiday season is upon us, and while many families will be celebrating with colorfully wrapped gifts, there are too many that will not be able to afford to spend money on extravagant presents.
