BCTV off the air until June 7

Boulder City Television went off the air Wednesday and will continue to be unavailable until June 7.

The television station, which runs on channel 2 for Cox Cable customers with a cable box and 69.9 for Cox users without one, is shutting down temporarily as part of its relocation to City Hall.

While the station that regularly airs local events will not be available on television, Boulder City residents can still stream City Council meetings at the city’s website www.bcnv.org.

The City Council channel is located at the bottom of the main page.

Events promote life jacket safety

As part of National Safe Boating Week, which will be observed May 21-27, people around the world are encouraged to wear life jackets to work Friday to demonstrate how easy it is to put one on.

Those who participate in the event are asked to post their at-work pictures on social media using the hashtag #WearIt for a chance to be featured by the National Safe Boating Council, Nevada Department of Wildlife and Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

The following day, the National and Canadian safe boating councils will attempt to set a world record for the most number of people wearing a life jacket at the same time. This year’s attempt aims to break the 2015 world record of 10,917 participants who inflated their own inflatable life jacket or wore an inherently buoyant life jacket at 257 worldwide events on a single day.

Nearly 30,000 people have participated in the event since 2010.

For details about participating events, visit www.readysetwearit.com.

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.

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.

What appears to be two very old pieces of gum can be found on the back of more than one seat.

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.
