Every year since 1949, Mental Health America (formerly known as the National Mental Health Association) has led the observance of Mental Health Month in May.
Public Safety
The 99 Cents Only Store in Boulder City was shut down on May 10 for the second time in a month. The shop at 800 Buchanan Blvd. was forced to close because of a rat infestation. The store was previously shut down for a day for the same reason on April 25.

I would like to take a minute to talk to you about one of our favorite topics in dispatch: pocket dials.
Two employees at the Radio Shack/Sprint store on Buchanan Boulevard were robbed at gunpoint last week and police are seeking the community’s help to track down the suspects.
It appears that spring has sprung and we are officially on the way to another great summer.
T he monthly safety briefing to be held at the Senior Center of Boulder City for May will be held at 11:15 a.m. Wednesday prior to the serving of the midday meal. Anyone is welcome to attend and listen to this brief update of the most current trends we are seeing and hearing about in our small town.
April is National Occupational Therapy Month. The profession of occupational therapy makes valuable contributions in helping people “live life to its fullest” after an illness or injury. If you have ever been in a situation in which you were physically unable to complete your daily tasks, an occupational therapist can help.
Dispatch answers calls for the police, fire and medical departments at all hours every day of the week. We also take calls for water, sewer and electrical emergencies during off hours. We have four incoming lines and two 911 lines along with two continuous radio channels and a citizen lobby area. Much of the time there is only one dispatcher manning the helm.
We have all had the experience of someone spreading rumors about us or distorting the truth about something we have been involved in. Do you remember how it felt? The truth is rarely as interesting as an embellished version of a story.
