The art of communication in consciousness

For Memorial Day I am exploring human consciousness with you. Many misunderstandings have been fought over the lack of a mutual perspective among the parties involved. What better gift is there than one that assists in the art of communication?

Alumni events, marriage and a real Nazi

Ron’s column from a few weeks ago inspired me to tell a story about a weird event from my past. Mine is not as exciting as his in that there is no wrestler named Silo Sam.

Las Vegas Veterans’ Memorial to Boulder City?

Woodbury’s experience, vision for community merits support

A generosity of spirit lingered in the air Saturday from sunrise to well past sunset.

Mental well-being must be addressed

We’re in the middle of an extremely exciting month. May is mental health awareness month, along with it being the end of another school year.

It’s a mighty meaty May

Thirty-three pit masters. It makes for a lot of ribs and chicken and brisket. That’s how many barbecue mavens were on hand to compete at the 2024 edition of the Rotary Club of Boulder City’s Best Dam BBQ event. Before the crowds arrived, indeed, before most of the vendors or car show folks showed up, the early birds were already grilling in anticipation of when they would arrive.

BOR project nearing completion
