Elections with love

I was happy to see that Boulder City is going to have an election that provides time for both communicating as well as understanding. It is unresolved until Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026.

Spirit of season shines in our city

I feel like a kid again. I’m giddy with excitement and can barely contain my enthusiasm.

Bullies’ behavior often starts at young age

As I have written before, bullying cannot be considered a part of growing up because it is quite often the case the bullies themselves do not grow up.

Motorists would be wise to keep Samaritan around

It was half-past pumpkin pie time early Thanksgiving evening when Larry Lyon began the trip from a friend’s house in Kyle Canyon down State Route 157 toward the lights of Las Vegas.

Pot regulators embrace drug lord secrecy

It’s hard to imagine how much worse the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health could have possibly screwed up bringing legal marijuana sales to Nevada despite the stated objective of the Legislature to create the national “gold standard” for regulatory approval and oversight.
