Bursting our bewitched bubble

It’s that dreaded time of year again. Monstrous in magnitude. A mysterious ritual. Strange, scary, sinister, and spooky. Macabre and menacing. Dark and gloomy. Dastardly and disturbing.

Mayor’s Corner: Helmets save lives

Emergency personnel in Clark County estimate they respond to four accidents each day involving bikes, e-bikes, or e-scooters. A few of these accidents have involved fatalities of minors — a grim reminder of the dangers of these devices when not used responsibly. Our goal as city leaders is to prevent tragedies from occurring. Any loss of life has a dramatic impact on families, loved ones, friends, as well as on the entire community.

Cheers to 40 years in the biz

Friends enhance our lives

It may have all started with Adam and Eve, depending on your theological outlook on life, but duos and the enduring power of a friendship seems to permeate our culture.

Holiday festivities show need for proper crosswalk

What a great day. Boulder City’s celebration of our country’s independence was outstanding. A giant thanks to the organizers and the many volunteers that made it a wonderful experience — from the pancake breakfast, the parade, the flyover, the fun in Broadbent Park, the numerous class reunions to all the activities at Veterans’ Memorial Park in the evening culminating in a fantastic fireworks display.

Volunteers must help themselves, too

One of my many interesting past jobs was as executive director of the Senior Center of Boulder City between 2003 and 2005. This was a rewarding position and I loved working with the seniors. But it was frustrating that much of the daily work was performed by volunteers. Finding willing and able volunteers in a small community was a daily responsibility.

Animals, plants may feel more than we know

The word for today is sentient. Dictionary.com defines sentient as “having the power of perception by the senses; conscious.” Sentience connotes the “capacity for sensation or feeling.”

Damboree’s water zone a blast for all

Another page in the city’s history has been written and is in the books after Boulder City celebrated its 68th annual Damboree on Monday. And what a celebration it was.

City explored alternatives to rate hikes

When the City Council adopted utility rate increases in May, a repeated question we heard was: Have you considered other alternatives? The answer is yes, quite a few. And the following are just a few examples.

Area ‘dam’ attractive to filmmakers

Sean Penn. Robert De Niro. Patrick Swayze. Halle Berry. Selma Hayek. These are just a few of the A-list Hollywood names who have been in movies shot either at Lake Mead or at the Hoover Dam.

Aviation Nation returns

Good news for Air Force veterans and aviation fans in general. After abandoning what had become a favorite annual event in Nevada, Nellis Air Force Base will again host Aviation Nation.

Laws apply to all, including police

Like a boomerang or a bad penny, trouble just keeps returning to the Boulder City Police Department.

Decrease in tourists could affect budget

Eagle-eyed followers of city government may have noticed multiple references by city officials over the past year to expect shortfalls in the Boulder City budget over the next few years.
