Family creates Constitution display at library

Keeping with a 15-year tradition, the Mitchell-Stankovic family of Boulder City has created an educational display about the U.S. Constitution at Boulder City Library. The display was created in honor of Constitution Week, which is marked annually by Daughters of the American Revolution, Silver State Chapter.

The display is featured in the rotunda of the library, 701 Adams Blvd.

The chapter aims to educate students that the nation celebrates the Constitution’s birthday annually on Sept. 17 and that the document contains the law for our country.

The late Luanna Mitchell, with the help of her husband, Carl, made it a family passion to educate young and old regarding citizenship and the Constitution, and the family tradition continues each year. Luanna Mitchell served as historian of the Silver State DAR chapter.

With the display, the family helps encourage area churches and schools to ring their bells at 1 p.m. Sept. 17 as part of Bells Across America, which recognizes those who gave their lives for liberty.

The family also presents a scholarship each year to a senior from Boulder City High School who writes a compelling essay about the Constitution.

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.
