Firefighters to dish up pancakes at open house

The Boulder City Firefighter’s Association is holding its annual pancake breakfast on Saturday.

The free event includes all-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage or bacon, coffee and orange juice.

“It’s an opportunity for the community to do a meet-and-greet with those who serve the community,” said Josh Barrone, Boulder City firefighter, event organizer and member of the association.

The breakfast takes place from 8-11 a.m. at the fire department, 1101 Elm St.

In addition to the food, attendees can view different vehicles, including ones from Boulder City Public Works and Boulder City Police Department and a helicopter from Mercy Air, as well as receive free henna tattoos, if desired.

Various city officials also will be there.

As it is Fire Prevention Week, Barrone said they will hold free training for how to use a fire extinguisher.

Local Author Wins Award

Jean Kelly Widner, author of “The Adoption Paradox: Putting Adoption into Perspective” has been awarded the Literary Titan Book Award, a distinguished recognition honoring exceptional books. Widner’s book delves deeply into the complex and often contradictory realities of adoption — exploring stories from adoptees, adoptive parents, and birth parents while interweaving historical context and modern experiences. Through raw honesty and compassionate storytelling, “The Adoption Paradox” sheds light on the joys, grief, identity struggles, and resilience tied to the adoption experience. “This award affirms the importance of giving voice to the families and individuals impacted by adoption. The practice is always layered with love, loss, and paradox, and I’m honored that this work is resonating with readers and being recognized in this way,” said Widner. The Literary Titan Book Award celebrates authors who demonstrate extraordinary dedication and talent. The “Adoption Paradox” is available now through Amazon, Audible, and directly at www.adoptionparadox.com.
