Locals will have the opportunity to pay their respects to those who served the nation and made the ultimate sacrifice during several events over the course of the Memorial Day weekend.

The Nevada Department of Veterans Services announced that in-person events will be held this year at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery, but they will be abbreviated as the nation deals with the lingering effects of COVID-19.

Flags will be placed on veterans’ graves starting at 7 a.m. Saturday, May 29. Those participating will be assigned to specific sections of the cemetery and be asked to place flags only in that area.

A shortened ceremony on Memorial Day itself will be held in the courtyard outside the chapel. It will start at 1 p.m. and last about 20 minutes.

According to the department, the changes were made to help keep everyone safe.

Recommended COVID-19 protocols will be observed. Those who are fully vaccinated will not be asked to wear a face mask, but those who have not been vaccinated should wear a face covering and remain socially distanced.

The American Legion and its auxiliary will be placing flags at veterans’ graves at Boulder City Municipal Cemetery on Saturday, May 29, morning.

Volunteers are needed to help place the flags. Those interested should meet at 9 a.m. at the cemetery, 501 Adams Blvd. Flags and refreshments will be provided.

The group also will need volunteers to help with flag removal at 2 p.m. Monday, May 31.

The 27th annual Fly Your Flags Over Hoover Dam Run, presented by the Las Vegas Chapter of the Vietnam Vets Legacy Vets Motorcycle Club, returns this year with an added stop.

The 2½-mile run will begin at 10 a.m. Sunday, May 30, on the Arizona side of Hoover Dam. From there, motorcyclists will travel across the dam, riding by the Southern Nevada State Veterans Home before arriving at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery.

Once at the veterans cemetery, the Special Forces Association will conduct a short memorial service.

BCHS students win robotics competition

A trip to the workshop for the High Scalers, the robotics team at Boulder City High School in 2024 was much like a visit in 2023. Stuff used to make and practice with the robots built by the team everywhere, six or seven kids gathered there after school and a faculty advisor ensconced in the back of the room at a desk.

Things appear to be heating up in terms of motion toward at least initial steps in Boulder City building a new pool. Those steps are not anything that residents will see for a while, but they set the stage.

Breeding proposal breeds opposition
By Bill Evans Boulder City Review

Judging by the number of people speaking out against it during public comment at the last city council meeting and the tone of numerous social media posts, the proposal to allow for licensed pet breeders to operate in Boulder City is itself breeding a growing opposition. And the opposition appears to be spilling over into other pet-centric issues, including the fact that, unlike anywhere else in Clark County, Boulder City does not require dogs to be on a leash in public.

In a meeting with only two council members present in the room (and the other three on the phone) and in which the major attention was divided between a contentious possible law concerning pets and the fact that the city manager had announced he was leaving for a new job on the East Coast, the council did take a series of other notable actions.
