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?
While visiting family over Christmas, I was reminded how low water pressure from faucets and shower heads are such a common problem.
Just a few days ago, we celebrated the start of 2024. Many of us are making New Year’s resolutions, such as fitness, improving finances, or doing something new or different in our lives. The priorities in my professional life are quite clear. I want what’s best for Boulder City.

Recently, I learned of a very large family that had fallen on hard times. I don’t know where they are from, but like thousands of other families in Southern Nevada, they were unsure of where to turn for help.

Once each quarter, Dr. Deanna Jaskolski, regional superintendent for region 3 of the Clark County School District (which includes Boulder City) presents a report to the city council about the city’s four local public schools.

I’m always delighted when I see our potted chives come back to life each spring.
