A look at different sides of war

It’s near impossible to live in the United States and not know that history tells us during World War II the majority of the nation got behind what was called “the good war” and rallied in many ways.

Importance of saving water

Lake Mead seemed to be on the rebound since the federal Tier One Shortage declaration in 2021.

Dispelling the myths of organ donation

Long before I was mayor of Boulder City, before I was a state legislator, I started a long, rewarding career as a physician. Two of the hardest things about being a doctor is, 1) telling someone that their loved one has died, and 2) sharing news about critical, potentially-fatal conditions.

Drive-in theaters: A dying form of entertainment

The other day I saw something on how few movie drive-ins there are these days and it got me thinking about my memories of drive-ins.

Limited water adds to cost of development

We need to consider the future supply of water in plans for growth in Boulder City. Boulder City used over 3 billion gallons of water so far this year (about 550 gallons per person per day). Residential consumption was about 200 gallons per person per day. None of this water is returned to Lake Mead. In the Las Vegas Valley water use is about 100 gallons per person per day because about 50 percent of the water removed from Lake Mead is returned to the lake.

Go forward united as nation

It has now been nine days since the nation elected a new president. Donald Trump will be the 45th president of the United States.

What is not well-known by many small-business owners is how those businesses are managed.

Hope for better world needs a little help

“Hope needs some help.” I heard that sentence the other day from a talk show host. He added that he is always hopeful but not an optimist. His words got me to thinking.

Changing times requires change in thoughts

As a resident of Boulder City since 1965 I have seen our town evolve into a place that I will always call my hometown.

Devotion to serve community grows

Tomorrow marks the start of my fourth year as editor of the Boulder City Review. My how time flies.

Thoughtful approach to growth best way to go

We finally have the presidential decision behind us, but another big decision still looms for Boulder City. It is clear from the mayor’s August opinion piece and talk of “right-sizing” that people are preparing to change Boulder City’s long-standing growth ordinance, and the sticking point is going to be the yearly cap of 120 homes and the individual developer cap of 30 homes.

Mob’s start in Nevada tied to dam workers

When the Hoover Dam was being built, the mob came through Boulder City. Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel was known for his stamp on Las Vegas, but it was here in Boulder City that his first business opportunities in Nevada were proposed. Yes, Bugsy Siegel’s interest in Nevada started with the mafia asking him to solicit Hoover Dam workers as customers for illegal endeavors.

Trio looks to bring new grocery store to town

If one were to ask 25 Boulder City residents what the town is missing, you’d probably get a few different answers like affordable housing or a movie theater. But the overwhelming answer would likely be the same – a second grocery store.
