EDITORIAL: NDOT’s HOV fiasco is on life support

VOLTZ: Lost opportunities in better water use

In Boulder City and the southwestern U.S. generally, we have foolishly assumed Mother Nature will solve the problem of too much water use and inadequate supply.

Rain brings proliferation of weeds and bugs

A bad allergy season is nothing to sneeze at, but we’ll be seeing longer lasting ill effects of these rains in our gardens and surrounding vegetation if we don’t act now.
