A graduation gift to remember

Over the last couple of weeks, I twice drove over the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Bridge, aka the Hoover Dam bypass.

Democracy dies in … Oh, shut up

OK, so, fair warning. I may be a little “spicier” than normal. It’s been a challenging couple of weeks and I’m in a worse mood than usual.

Real ID will help combat terrorism

Most veterans in Nevada are aware that when they obtain a driver’s license or renew their old one, they can ask the DMV to add the word “veteran” on the license. While that won’t give them a get-out-of-jail-free card, it might evoke some sympathy from an officer if a veteran is pulled over for a minor infraction. (No guarantee, but it has happened to me.)

Centenarian Sara, a Boulder City treasure

At 100 years of age, Sara Denton is certainly one of Boulder City’s oldest residents. And if you’ve met her, you’ll likely agree that she’s one of its most cheerful residents as well. Sara loves to laugh and has always lived life with gusto and adventure.

Know what wheels kids can (and can’t) operate

Motorized devices are growing in popularity, especially with teens, but many parents don’t know the legalities or the dangers.

Growing, historic Boulder City faces inevitable change

Change is inevitable, but it can be controlled and be positive or it can be left unchecked and be detrimental. Historic Boulder City has been subject to many changes over the years. Most of those changes have been necessary for the survival of a small city in an ever-changing world.

Budget costs cannot be estimated like ordering fries

The name of Douglas Elmendorf will not likely be immediately recognizable to every reader. He’s one of the people who make government work — a bureaucrat.

Look out, here comes the ‘Gruber’ tax

I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t be surprised one iota if Jonathan Gruber himself hasn’t been hired to craft the propaganda campaign that’s underway to pass Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval’s (R&R Partners) 2015-17 budget.

Snubbed pot shops inclined to sue

From the news coming out of Washoe County, you’d almost think there’s a glaucoma epidemic erupting at Lake Tahoe’s Incline Village.

Credit union leader’s views incompatible with his job

Empty calendar brings many possibilities

I’m tired. I know we are already 15 days into the new year, but I don’t think I have fully recuperated from all the holiday festivities yet.

Left nor right has true governing mandate

I take a bit of a contrary position from many conservatives about the meaning of this last election.

Priest’s passion for peace worth remembering

His name graces an otherwise forgettable street that stretches nine short blocks in downtown Las Vegas.

Helping families is promise we should make

Quite often, I get a phone call or an email about a person or a family in need of housing, or a job, or a few bucks to pay the rent or the electric bill, or money to get a prescription or pay a doctor or dentist bill. I’ve even run into folks who needed money to get their driver’s licenses renewed.

Gentle Muslims serve as reminder against violence

The Charlie Hedbo attack came the week before Martin Luther King Jr. Day and it’s not hard to imagine how Martin Luther King Jr. would have reacted. When incidents of violence happened, he grieved. What is not known to King’s countrymen is that there is an Islamic MLK.

Demolition for Flamingo?

The latest twist in the story of the old Flamingo Inn Motel on Nevada Way was set to go down on Wednesday with a meeting of the Historical Preservation Commission.
