Cozy fall décor that works in the desert

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.

My visit with Mickey and the gang

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.”

Library gearing up for upcoming holidays

The holiday season is almost upon us, with Halloween coming up.

My 9/11 experience

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.

Understanding Boulder City’s electrical rates

“The city held rates as low as it could for as long as it could.”

More than spring flowers make city beautiful place to be

Spring arrived Monday. Along with the beautiful weather and colorful flowers, Boulder City is blossoming with the spirit of kindness and helping others.

Community key part of education at BCHS

As a veteran teacher at Boulder City High School, I wish to acquaint our community with an issue of some concern. Our projected enrollment for next year is 587 students, and at that number we will be forced to lose three staff positions — after losing two last year.

Off-road vehicles’ affect on naturally occurring abestos ignored for too long

Conflicting interests are emerging in Boulder City between the causes of public health/safety and off-road vehicle recreation. A natural environmental hazard, naturally occurring asbestos, occurs widespread in variable concentrations within the rocks, soils and ambient air in the Boulder City-Eldorado Valley area.

Railway vital to city’s past, future

Trains have been a part of Boulder City’s history practically since it’s very first days. So it makes perfect sense that they will help transport the city into a healthy future.

More residents need to vote in coming election

Imagine this: a small city where every eligible citizen is registered to vote and does just that. What could that mean? It’s impossible to imagine this or think about how things would change because this has never happened in our city.

Shine some light on the news

In the years I’ve been writing Sunshine Week columns, rarely have I turned around the lens to examine the responsibilities of the press in making sure our role in democracy is transparent and honest.

Roth’s horror flick ‘Lake Mead’ drowns among competition

Producer, actor and writer Eli Roth and I have a lot in common. We both speak Russian. We are both rooted in the East Coast. We both have a love for David Lynch’s work. We both went to school for filmmaking. And we both were in Boulder City during 2014.

Work together to preserve views of lake

Three and a half million dollars is a lot of money. It’s more money than most of us will ever accumulate in our lifetime. But that is approximately how much more money it will cost to bury a portion of power lines between substation 3 and substation 6, according to an alternatives study on the 69kV power line funded by the city. This would nearly triple the cost of the proposed over-ground option.
