Letter to the Editor, May 31

Support for church’s lobster event appreciated

Boulder City United Methodist Church would like to acknowledge to the community and thank the businesses of Boulder City that so generously supported Loaves and Lobsters, our recent fundraising event for our church ministries.

Mike Pacini added his exceptional personality and DJ skills the entire evening. Grateful Pet Animal Clinic, Nevada State Railroad Museum, Serenity Salon, DeSimone’s Steakhouse at Railroad Pass, Boulder City Chamber of Commerce and many members of our own church were among the many who donated generously to the silent auction and participated in the bidding. All these local businesses greatly contributed to our overwhelming success which will help us carry on our ministries and also realize a church facility of our own some day.

Don’t let anyone tell you that Boulder City isn’t a wonderful place to live. The people here all make it that way. And by the way, plan on a fourth annual Loaves and Lobsters in 2019.

Make a new plan, Stan

A plan is a method for achieving a desirable objective. It’s a program of action, usually memorialized in writing. Plans start with goals and ideas. But ideas alone (even good ones) don’t constitute a plan.

Time to recognize unsung heroes

We have so many functions within the Boulder City Police Department, from school resource officers to road patrol to the detective bureau. The work that they do keeps Boulder City among the “Safest Cities in Nevada” (newhomesource.com, alarm.com) year after year. One unit is the backbone of our public safety response: Public Safety Dispatchers.

Honoring National Public Health Week

In my eight decades of this amazing life, I have worn a great many hats: son, brother, father, major (USAF), grandfather, council member, state representative, state senator.

Shhhhh… Don’t tell anyone

So, there was this guy I used to know. And, yes, a million stories told in bars have started with that exact phrase.

This time next week it will have already been a year since I took over as editor of the Review.

Housing opportunities many for veterans

Veterans who buy real estate with what is known as a “VA loan” can get some real bargains.

Rock, Roll ’n Stroll … senior style
