Remember this name

After reading the article in last week’s paper about Devon Yslas, I knew I had to issue a warning.

Devon Yslas, if you’ll remember, is the guy that was arrested for the brutal murder, mutilation and torture of a number of innocent rabbits in Bootleg Canyon in September of last year.

He said that “… killing bunnies gives him a way to feel emotions.” Naturally, he was charged with over 20 crimes, but like what always happens, most of them were dismissed. He ended up with some community service and a few small fines.

For what this sick individual did he basically got a slap on the wrist. I would like all your readers to remember what his face looks like and to remember his name.

We haven’t heard the last from him. It’s been proven over the years that many serial killers and violent murderers start out with animals before they graduate to humans, but he will be back.

Like a number of shootings the last couple of years, the authorities know this guy is out there and what his mindset is, but will act surprised when he strikes again.

Holidays are coming to Boulder City Library

The holidays are fast approaching and that means things are getting festive at the library.

Library Happenings

The past few weeks have been busy at Garrett Junior High School as students have continued to settle into the school year, participate in fall activities, and work toward finishing the first quarter strong.

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.
