Adelson Hospice deserves support
Unfortunately, my health has declined to the point that I require hospice care. I want to let others know how efficiently and lovingly care has been provided by the Nathan Adelson Hospice program.
One thing that I was not aware of and others may not know is that Nathan Adelson was a former CEO of Sunrise Hospital. He is not related to Sheldon Adelson of the Las Vegas Sands Corp.
This program deserves all the support it can.

Buying, owning and carrying firearms is easy in Nevada. Every good gun owner will tell you that safe habits, a sense of caution and practice are critical for safe firearms ownership.

As some of you may know, I grew up in Boulder City. So, I’m an Eagle at heart with blue and gold pumping through my veins. I know. That combination would make some kind of green color but you get where I’m going.
For the past month, more or less, I have found myself returning more often than usual to the tome that most shaped and informed the way I look at government and politics.
My plan when writing a column is to try and be lighthearted and focus on Boulder City-related issues or fond memories from my past growing up here.
We’ve never liked the “G” word around here. “GROWTH” is a four-letter word in Boulder City. Our controlled growth ordinances are among the most stringent in the U.S. “Development” is another naughty word that we don’t like saying much.
