Appreciates column on justice system

Appreciates column on justice system

The article (column by Bill Evans) on the justice system was very timely. Good job! Although very important, it is often quite difficult to make an informed vote when choosing a judge. We need to be sure to elect judges that attempt to provide justice and actually punish repeat offenders, even those with good connections, while showing mercy when appropriate.

Do some research, and don’t just vote for the incumbent! I have found the League of Women Voters to be a good source for information on candidates. However, for judges, I talk to an attorney friend that experiences them first-hand.

It is good to see the BC Review take on the shirking of duty by the media and the justice system.

The view from the hallway

September is always a busy month at Boulder City High School.

Cozy fall décor that works in the desert

That first day I feel a little fall chill, I always chuckle to myself thinking about the “sweata weatha” exchange between Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler from their SNL sketch. While much of the country is pulling on sweaters, downing pumpkin lattes, and decorating for fall, we’re still wearing flip-flops and kicking on the AC.

My visit with Mickey and the gang

Walt Disney once said, “I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place – a place where adults and children can experience together some of the wonders of life, of adventure, and feel better because of it.”

Library gearing up for upcoming holidays

The holiday season is almost upon us, with Halloween coming up.

My 9/11 experience

I’m certain that today every American who was an adult on 9/11 remembers what he or she was doing during the terrorist attacks.

Understanding Boulder City’s electrical rates

“The city held rates as low as it could for as long as it could.”

State of emergency

My favorite memories as a Boy Scout and church youth group leader always seem to center on community service opportunities.

It’s all about first impressions

When I was younger, my parents instilled in me the importance of making a good first impression. Look people in the eye. Make sure you give a firm handshake. Focus on what they are saying and don’t be distracted.

September offers something for everyone at Boulder City Library

As the heat finally comes down outside, inside the library we have cooked up some amazing events for this upcoming September that we’re excited to tell you all about. No matter what age our patrons are, we pride ourselves on having something for everyone, and our programming schedule for September is no exception.
