High heat can cause multiple issues

Welcome to the second-hottest place around. Boulder City Fire sent out a reminder this week about some heat-related issues to be aware of.

Dry lake bed closed for holiday

To help make a safe Fourth of July holiday, Boulder City is closing the dry lake bed in the Eldorado Valley from July 3-5.

Excessive heat warning extended

The National Weather Service has extended an excessive heat warning through 11 p.m. Sunday for the Las Vegas Valley and other lower desert areas including Boulder City.

Use medications as directed; take time to understand prescriptions

Adults over the age of 65 tend to take more medicines than any other age group. Staying on track with a medication regimen is not always easy. With each addition to that regimen, the risk of making a mistake increases. It’s important to take an active role in tracking your medications.

Shelter plays big role in finding homes for pets

Wow, the animal shelter has been experiencing a “cat-tastic” month and they are inviting you to join the fun. I have inside information from the kitten-cuddling seniors that the babies are beautiful and getting more and more user friendly as the days go by.

Domestic situations often turn volatile

Most begin to explain the domestic issue like this: In the beginning, it was perfect, awesome, wonderful, the best. Of course, it was. Otherwise, there would never be a reason for the call today; the relationship would have died a natural death at that point. He (or she) is a felon, a drug dealer, a thief, an abuser, etc., and I’m afraid of them now.
