Having grown up in Boulder City, I was always aware of its unofficial mascots …the bighorn sheep.
Once you asked me, “What do you think?”
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.
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?
Congratulations are in order for Boulder City’s new Council members Warren Harhay and Kiernan McManus. After a long, contested and often heated race, the unofficial results show the two political newcomers have earned the support of the community.
Money has never meant much to me. Guess I was brought up to think that money was a necessity to pay bills and buy groceries.
Father’s Day is celebrated on June 18 this year. To me, Father’s Day always seemed a faint echo of Mother’s Day that we celebrated last month. But where and how did this holiday begin as I don’t remember celebrating it when I was young?

People also forget that Baxter came through Boulder City for a 1933 movie titled “I Loved You Wednesday.”
Across the nation, there were ceremonies, parades and barbecues as people marked Memorial Day.
