Boulder’s Best: Spirited Halloween decor

Even though many things have been canceled due to COVID-19, the Halloween holiday is not one of them. Several familiar events will take on an unfamiliar feel this year.

To help the community celebrate, the Boulder City Review has compiled a list of Boulder’s Best Halloween displays in town. They are featured in no particular order and can be observed from a vehicle at a safe social distance.

653 Arrayo Way

Mike and Morgan Pacini have decked out their house for Halloween. The graveyard in their front yard has skeletons, gargoyles, a corpse and a scary clown. There is also fog, smoke and light displays. For those feeling adventurous, Mike Pacini said they are also hosting a haunted house in their carport. It opens at 5 p.m. on Halloween and is free for everyone.

796 Los Tavis Way

Ruben Benitez and Mariley Hernandez have made their home into a Halloweentown. Their display has a huge jack-o’-lantern, inflatable ghosts, lights and scary creatures. It also has light show projected on the garage door.

1100 block of Fuente Way

A home on this block is paying homage to the Halloween movie “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” It is decked out with characters from the film and other Halloween-themed elements.

1200 Avenue I

Dawn and Dale Brougher’s home has scary and fun Halloween decorations. Near the front door and on the roof are Halloween-themed inflatable decorations. On the side wall, there are fake heads, including Freddy Krueger’s, and fake arms and legs.

What is a critical access hospital?

According to the Rural Health Information Hub, a Critical Access Hospital (CAH) is a designation given to eligible rural hospitals who meet certain criteria. This designation was created by Congress via the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 due to the closures of over 400 rural hospitals during the 1980s through the early 1990s. The CAH designation was designed to improve health care access to Americans living in rural areas as well as provided financial stability to the facilities that serve these communities.

Don’t fall for scams

Phone and text scams cost people across the country millions of dollars a year. Phone fraudsters use the threat of arrest warrants, the promise of romance and even disasters to con unsuspecting people aout of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars. These thieves often target senior citizens, because the scam artists know that most seniors will be polite and trusting. Many of these crimes are perpetrated outside the jurisdiction where the crime occurred, making them tough to investigate.
