Teamwork resonates in City Hall

Every year, college basketball fans get excited for their team to play in the “Big Dance.” March Madness (women’s and men’s NCAA basketball) is down to the final four teams this weekend. It’s estimated that 34 million brackets were completed this year.

My bighorn buddies

Having grown up in Boulder City, I was always aware of its unofficial mascots …the bighorn sheep.

Can’t we all just disagree?

Once you asked me, “What do you think?”

What if they gave a war and nobody was home?

The subjects in most of the articles and columns I write tend to include positive stories about American veterans and veterans’ organizations. And in fact the pieces are about veterans, not active-duty military.

Gratitude for government

I moved to Boulder City in 1981. Boulder City is blessed to have been a government town. Can we recall the blessings we have received from government?

American Revolution traditions remain steadfast

Throughout the year various patriotic services are open to the public at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City. Recently, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution held an American flag retirement ceremony there.

No denying summer’s arrival

Today is the summer solstice. It’s the day when the sun is at its highest and northernmost point in the Northern Hemisphere sky.

Do you count? Economic data essential for city

Do you count? I count for a living, but I’ve been a numbers nerd from the age of 8, so, yeah, I count. But I bet you do, too: You count calories or pounds or inches or net pay or horsepower, or you have a budget or a video download limit, or you follow sports, so, yeah, you count as much as I do.

Working together city, citizens can find needed solutions

When you’ve got a problem, you either face it or let it fester. I favor the face-it-and-fix-it approach. Solutions might cost time and money, but ignoring any problem generally leads to more problems.

World is better place if we all ‘produce’

By definition, consumers are people who consume or deplete things. If there’s food, consumers devour it. If there’s coal, consumers burn it. If there’s a lake, consumers drink or drain it dry. If there’s money, consumers spend it.

Interstate trek has historical significance

It was a weekend of epic historical proportions — at least it was for the more than 300 people who had an opportunity to travel on Interstate 11 before it opens this summer.

To spit or not to spit? DNA results revealing

The recent arrest of the suspected Golden State Killer was accomplished by sending crime-scene DNA to one of the numerous genealogy tests sites and, after an incredible exercise in records research, authorities tracked down the 73-year-old alleged killer. The media storm that resulted has caused some to publicly question if they want to have their own DNA tested, given the apparent loss of privacy.

‘Wedding’ movie may inspire new role for city

A few weeks ago folding chairs sat upright in Broadbent Park waiting for guests to arrive to watch a bride and groom take vows that should last a lifetime. As I watched the locals ooh and ahh over the wedding to be, I realized that destination weddings are a growing part of the Boulder City culture. More exciting is the upcoming movie “Destination Wedding,” which is bringing attention to not only resort towns but the ties actors Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves have to our city.
