Little Mister Boulder City Dane Wilcoxen and Little Miss Boulder City Emmie Hernandez are congratulated by Anna McKay of Dance Etc. after being crowned the winners of the pageant presented Saturday as part of the entertainment at the Spring Jamboree. Twelve young Boulder City residents competed, answering questions about themselves, including their favorite foods, things to do and special talents.

Tom Rowlett brought his 1971 Stutz Bear Cat, made to look like the 1914 model, to the Pan Draggers and Boulder City Cruisin’ Association’s Rod Run Car Show, held Saturday and Sunday as part of the Spring Jamboree. It is one of 12 made on the chassis of an International Scout. Rowlett said he gets the “fun of 1914 without the pain” of trying to find parts to keep the car operational.

Sometimes simple appliance DIY can spare you costly service calls

Wasn’t I embarrassed when I couldn’t figure out why my friend’s dishwasher wouldn’t start. I troubleshot as best as I could, given my limited time visiting her. It was getting power, the door was closed properly, yet when I pressed “start,” it just wouldn’t. I advised her to call a local appliance repair company. $85 later she was informed that it somehow went into its “locked function.” Simply holding down the Heat/Dry button for three seconds unlocks it. That’s all it needed. Boy did I feel dumb. I mean, I’m the Toolbelt Diva, after all.

The red tape is unending.
