Veterans nationwide, and statewide in Nevada from Virginia City to Boulder City, honestly receive benefits from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Opinion
Some of Boulder City’s finest, but often most under-appreciated citizens, are the long-term care residents at Boulder City Hospital.
The holiday season is here! Radio stations are playing the classic songs, thousands turned out for the Electric Night Parade, stores are bustling with customers, and kids are creating their wish list for Santa.
You know that Progressive Insurance commercial that humorously depicts a “Parent-Life Coach” advising young homeowners on how to avoid turning into their parents? When the coach corrects homeowners to not chime in on strangers’ conversations, it made me realize, I’ve totally become my mother. (But I’m OK with it, because my mom was awesome.)
Another year is coming to an end… which always makes me reflect on all the things that occurred in the past 12 months.
Historic Boulder City or historical Boulder City? The same? They are not the same, although historic and historical are both adjectives and both refer to history. In fact, when the word “historical” is used to describe Boulder City, it makes me a bit hysterical!

OK, so I was in the shower singing “Candle in the Wind,” Elton John’s award-winning tribute to Marilyn Monroe. And although I personally enjoyed the performance, I’m fairly certain — based on the consensus reviews of my family — that not a soul on this planet would ever have even the slightest interest in listening to my rendition on the radio.
In 2010, because the views of Republican Sharron Angle on church/state relations had become an issue in Nevada’s U.S. senate campaign, I wrote a cover story about the issue as it affected her race against Democrat Harry Reid, who is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Ah, how fleeting glory. Seems like only six short years ago that liberals were doing the Snoopy dance and declaring conservatism dead, dead, dead!
