Man on the street

As we get ready to ring in 2016, we went to the streets of Boulder City and asked people what plans they have for New Year's and if they have any resolutions.

Scott Hargadine, 25, Boulder City

Resolution: I don't make New Year's resolutions. You just have to be consistent on what your dream is — that's an everyday thing.

Plan for New Year's: I quit making plans a long time ago. Every time I make plans on New Year's they seem to fall through.

Karen Pellouchoud, 60, Boulder City

Resolution: I make one every year and I try to stick by it. I'm a real big runner and I go to Bootleg and run and swim. I keep getting hurt though, so my goal is to stay healthy and not fall.

Plan for New Year's: We're just going to have a big family dinner this year.

 

Wayne Stodolka, 60, Boulder City

Resolution: I don't have one right now, but years ago I quit smoking so that was the best one I ever had.

Plan for New Year's: We are going down to my wife's uncle's house in Yuma.

 

Linda Stodolka, 59, Boulder City

Resolution: My resolution is to keep living life and stay healthy.

Plan for New Year's: Like my husband said we are going to my uncle's house in Yuma and we are going to have a big family gathering there to celebrate.

 

Cassie O'Toole, 23, Las Vegas

Resolution: To continue exercising and eating healthy like I did in 2015.

Plan for New Year's: Hanging out with my boyfriend and celebrating our two-year anniversary.

New faces at BCPD

Monday morning, three new Boulder City police officers were sworn in during a ceremony that featured city staff, family and fellow officers. Above, Chief Tim Shea swears in, from left, Rayman Bateman, Zach Martin and Hi’ilani Waiwaiole. Shea noted that it’s very rare for them to swear in more than one new officer at a time. Two more future officers will be attending the police academy next month. The new officers help fill vacancies left by retiring officers or those who have moved onto other agencies. Left, Mayor Joe Hardy gave the three new officers an impromptu group hug during the ceremony.

The Mouse, his House and me

I’m about to say something that divides many in terms of their opinion. More than should a sandwich be cut horizontally or the diagonal cross-cut. Even more than the question of Coke vs. Pepsi and even more controversial than whether a tomato is a fruit or vegetable.

From Garden to Grave

Last week, the Christian Center Church hosted four showings of Garden to Grave: Live Stations of the Cross. Pastor Deborah Downs said the Stations of the Cross “are a contemplative practice of walking the way of suffering with Jesus. If one were to visit the city of Jerusalem, they would discover all 14 stations on what is called the Via Dolorosa – The Sorrowful Way – a path from Pilate’s court to Golgotha to the tomb.”
