September offers something for everyone at Boulder City Library

As the heat finally comes down outside, inside the library we have cooked up some amazing events for this upcoming September that we’re excited to tell you all about. No matter what age our patrons are, we pride ourselves on having something for everyone, and our programming schedule for September is no exception.

Looking back on Sept. 11

In just over two weeks, the nation will honor the 25th anniversary of one of the worst days in the history of this country.

What is long-term care?

Long-term care refers to a range of services and support for people who need help with everyday activities over an extended period due to aging, chronic illness, disability, injury, or cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Veterans, seniors: Scarcity of low-cost housing

Housing of all types for all sorts of individuals seems to be a buzz-word these days. But seniors and veterans especially seem to be lacking when it comes to locating reasonably affordable residences in reasonably decent neighborhoods around the state. What’s a body to do?

Now, that’s a really good idea !

We generally expect our leaders to be educated, smart, and well-informed. More often than not, we support, elect, and follow those who appear to have an answer for everything. But good leaders don’t know everything. And the very best ones know that they don’t know everything.

Winds bring change and allergies

The winds of change are upon us. I’m sure you’ve all seen and felt it in the past couple of weeks.

Ex-BLM ranger not surprised by showdown with Bundy

Ben Collins is retired now and living in Oregon, but he spent most of his career roaming Nevada and the region with the Bureau of Land Management.

City’s historic district easy to find, appreciate

Historic Boulder City can be viewed from many different perspectives and whoever is looking at it may see many different things. To gain one perspective a person could take a drive and look at the city from the view of a traveler on his or her way to visit Lake Mead or the dam, that traveler being fully aware of the historic significance of Boulder City.

Letters to the Editor

Animal hospital’s care, suggestions appreciated

Abuse of power needs to be stopped

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” So said John Dalberg-Acton, the first Baron Acton.

Easter reminds us there is hope

What a crazy, fantastic, strange thing. Sunday morning the resurrection flips everything over. It messes everything up. It’s kind of Jesus’ pattern — you know, he never went to a funeral without turning it into a resurrection. The Apostle Paul says three interesting things about the resurrection of Jesus: “What I received I pass on to you: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day.” (1 Cor. 15:3-5)

Cannon deserves to be remembered

In many ways Howard Cannon is Nevada political history’s forgotten man.

Meal program a lifesaver for many

There’s nothing like a home-cooked to bring a smile to one’s face. What’s even better is having it delivered by someone with an equally bright smile.

Why we insist on open government

In an age when government leaks, classified emails and court orders to unlock phones seem to make the news daily, it’s worth remembering why we insist on open and transparent government.

Good people seek ways to better others’ lives

Something I enjoy doing is spending time thinking about why some people are “good,” some “not so good,” and others are “bad.”
