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.

THE LATEST
Diplomas validate veterans’ life lessons

In the next few days as we observe Memorial Day we will pay tribute to the men and women who gave their all to protect and defend our freedoms.

Temple’s visit put spotlight on Boulder City

Today’s throwback Thursday is a bittersweet one. Boulder City’s ties to Hollywood are strong, and one of our more nationally recognized limelight moments comes via a visit to Boulder City High School by actress Shirley Temple in 1938. I say bittersweet because Temple’s childhood was nothing like the social and educational experiences our local children have.

Opportunities to grow are endless

Boulder City High School has been a place of endless opportunities for a shy freshman like me. I had moved to Boulder City from Atlanta, where I was often viewed as a number, not a student. I was used to being a part of the crowd and never dreamed of standing out.

Boulder City’s future looks bright

The future of Boulder City looks bright and prosperous despite the doomsayers. The economy is very good.

Library’s promotional purchases questionable

Explore options before raising utility rates

Opportunity awaits you, Boulder City. Are you going to voice your opinion about a utility rate increase, or are you going to let things happen?

Accept change with open heart, mind

Benjamin Franklin has been quoted as saying, “In this world, nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes.” A fair quote that has stood the test of time!

Crash cements city’s place in history

To many visitors, Boulder City is a quaint town with a downtown district seemingly stuck in time. Our city streets are often lined with antiques for sale, tourists on motorcycles and local musicians.

Reasons to love our town plentiful

If you ever needed more proof that Southern Nevada — and Boulder City in particular — is an ideal place to live, this past week or so would be it.

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.
