September is always a busy month at Boulder City High School.

That first day I feel a little fall chill, I always chuckle to myself thinking about the “sweata weatha” exchange between Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler from their SNL sketch. While much of the country is pulling on sweaters, downing pumpkin lattes, and decorating for fall, we’re still wearing flip-flops and kicking on the AC.
Walt Disney once said, “I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place – a place where adults and children can experience together some of the wonders of life, of adventure, and feel better because of it.”
The holiday season is almost upon us, with Halloween coming up.
I’m certain that today every American who was an adult on 9/11 remembers what he or she was doing during the terrorist attacks.
Since age 10, I’ve been interested in talking politics. I remember my age because that’s when I started working in my grandmother’s grocery store. I knew how to make change and could reach the cash register, so I was old enough to work.

I encourage everyone to attend the Shane Patton Foundation pub crawl this Saturday at The Dillinger Food and Drinkery, 1224 Arizona St., to perpetuate the legacy and to honor the memory of Navy SEAL Shane Patton.
Dennis Hopper has many ties to Las Vegas and at least two ties to Boulder City. Back in August 2016, I wrote about how Hopper helped actress and model Lauren Hutton after a motorcycle accident in 2000 near the Hoover Dam while the pair were on their way through Boulder City to the Guggenheim Museum inside The Venetian.
The division between those who like where the city is heading and those who don’t seems to have balanced out if Tuesday’s election results are any indication.
In May I did a piece about DNA databases and how they are changing our lives and cold case criminal research. These databanks became possible because of the growing interest that the populace has in knowing who their antecedents were. Family history research is now the nation’s No. 1 armchair sport.
Somewhere, up in the heavens, Ida Browder is looking down on Boulder City and smiling.
