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.

He also stated that “in our minds we were not suing them,” i.e., the petitioners.
Despite its name implying it’s strictly a U.S. veterans group, the American Legion is actually an international organization, with expatriot members living around the world.
ELKO — Some folks mourn the loss of a favorite hunting dog. Others sigh when a big-hearted horse passes on to eternal pastures. I’ve even heard of fellows that miss their ex-mothers-in-law.
In his State of the City address Thursday evening, Mayor Roger Tobler told those assembled that the city’s state is pretty healthy.
Last weekend, two rather interesting stories appeared on Page 1 of an edition of The New York Times.

Continuing to excel in weekday events, both Boulder City High School track and field programs shined on their home turf.
