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.”

Rain and clouds may have filled the skies above Boulder City for much of this week, but inside our office it was bright as we observed Sunshine Week.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library has a photograph of the former actor-turned-president sitting on a boat at Lake Mead in 1954. Ronald Reagan was an exceptional person and incredible actor and made history as a president. While Reagan was visiting Boulder City’s backyard, Lake Mead, with his wife, Nancy, he already had a full life behind him and probably could not imagine the career change he would have as the leader of our country starting in 1981.
Just like clockwork, pun intended, most of us have set our clocks forward to comply with daylight saving time. The joy of springing forward and then falling back in November is as much fun to me as anticipating my next cable bill.
Boulder City’s financial status has never been better. That’s music to my ears because one of my top five mayor’s vision priorities has always been keeping our financial house in order.

Although major military veterans organizations operate under their official names, many have sister organizations with different names that accomplish much volunteer work and raise large amounts of charitable donations for the main group. A few examples of subordinate associations include the National Order of Trench Rats, which falls under the Disabled American Veterans, and the Military Order of the Cooties, under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. But over and above that, virtually all of the congressionally chartered veterans groups also have women’s auxiliaries.
Hollywood has rearrived in Boulder City. In the late ’30s, even early ’60s, there was an insurgence of actors from La La Land soaking in the city’s surroundings either for personal vacations or because a movie was being filmed close by. Today, our city is again attracting major Hollywood names for shopping, eating and living.
