Seems like every time I visit my brother in California I end up doing a DIY project. This holiday was no different. While I love helping out with projects, especially since they’re great teaching moments for the kids, I didn’t plan on spending hours on the guest bathroom floor unclogging drains.
First off, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas yesterday and have a very happy, healthy and safe New Year ahead.
Isn’t this the time of year we want to show love to our fellow human beings?
Much has been spoken and written about in recent months about military and veteran caregivers, and the responsibilities they are charged with.
The true spirit of Christmas has always been more about giving than getting. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son … .” (John 3:16). Yet too many of us increasingly focus on the receiving side of that equation.
I have met many people since my arrival in Boulder City. Each has shared something special with me, but none of their tales has been as poignant as the one I heard Monday. And it was told to me without a single spoken word.
In December 1935, the Colorado River Commission reported to Nevada Gov. Richard Kirman that if the state built transmission lines to supply power to western and northern Nevada, the cost of electricity to consumers would be reduced.
What will Boulder City look like tomorrow, next year, next decade? Will it successfully continue its steady-state, slow-slow-growth policy, or will it be forced to adapt to changing times? Does the shuttering of the Goatfeathers consignment empire reflect an economic decline of our community or is it just part of the ups and downs of all small towns?
Before we get started today, I have some announcements to make …
Travel through Nevada long enough, and you’ll see some remarkable things.
Love is definitely in the air. And that’s just fine by me.
When Sue Wagner was born in Maine in 1940, the now-disdained term “New England liberal” did not exist. In fact, it would have been considered a contradiction in terms. Her native state was known for being rock-ribbed Republican and for being a bellwether, fostering a seldom used saying — “As goes Maine, so goes the nation.”
The myth that conservatives who want increased immigration enforcement are just anti-Hispanic has now been proved a lie. Indeed, the No. 1 target for deportation in the United States today isn’t Mexican, but Canadian: Justin Bieber.
Editor’s Note: This is the second half of looking back at 2024.
Last week, the city officially put the word out that it is in the beginning stages of hiring a new fire chief.
Chess is an immersive 1v1 board game that requires high strategies and patience. The rules of chess may seem simple, but it requires deep thinking. Each player has sixteen pieces. These pieces are often black and white so there is no confusion during the match. The white player makes the first move and then from there, the game begins. The goal in these matches is to attack your opponent’s King piece with no way to escape, also known as a checkmate. This will cause the match to end and a win for whoever checkmates. The match can also end with a draw. Consenting to a draw is when there is no way to achieve a checkmate. This year at Boulder City High School, students have decided to take on this challenge of creating a chess team.
Experiencing an up-and-down season, Boulder City High School girls volleyball found themselves in a familiar position when it came to postseason accolades.
