This May we have some wonderful programs coming to the library, including the kickoff to the much-anticipated 2026 Summer Reading Program.
Opinion
As always, the leaders at Mitchell have been busy.
I’m about to say something that divides many in terms of their opinion. More than should a sandwich be cut horizontally or the diagonal cross-cut. Even more than the question of Coke vs. Pepsi and even more controversial than whether a tomato is a fruit or vegetable.
Have you ever called for emergency services in Boulder City? Did you know that on medical calls, the fire department typically sends two or more first responders? The American Heart Association recommends one responder manages the patient’s airway; another monitors cardiac activity; another is responsible for administering medication; and two provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or lift assists as needed. On a heart attack or stroke, up to six responders may be needed.
Once upon a time, I moonlighted as the mayor of Boulder City. But even then, as now, I mostly earned a living as an attorney. As much as I loathe billing clients, it’s obviously necessary in order to put food on my family’s table.

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.
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.
Not too long ago, powerball fever hit the country. People were going crazy when the lottery prize topped several hundred million dollars.
LISTEN TO THE TOP FIVE HERE
In a visit to Las Vegas, the Trump administration cabinet member spoke about data centers, polluted brownfields and more.
If one is looking for an event that checks just about every box to have a fun weekend in Boulder City, the annual Spring Jamboree is just that.
Continuing to excel in weekday events, both Boulder City High School track and field programs shined on their home turf.
