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.

By Bill Evans Boulder City Review

I’m not sure if it is because the Spousal Unit and I are now empty-nesters or if it is leftover influence from that Netflix show called “Swedish Death Cleaning,” but a substantial portion of my weekends for the past few months has been trying to sort through and eliminate some of the “stuff” that has taken over the house.

For too many years now, the growing problem of military personnel and veterans (as well as civilians), taking their own lives has been seemingly unsolvable.

Fighting the fentanyl epidemic
By Judge Victor Miller

You can’t see it, smell it or taste it, but there is a dangerous drug killing about 150 people every day in the U.S.: fentanyl. Right here in Boulder City, three people died from fentanyl overdoses in 2022. This year, that number has nearly doubled – five deaths, and we still have two more months before the year ends.

Celebrating LMNRA’s local native plant nursery and seed bank

According to National Geographic, the first agricultural revolution occurred twelve thousand years ago. During that time, humans moved into long-term settlements thanks to their ability to collect, clean, and store seeds. Fast-forward to today, and the process is no less critical.
