Boulder City is a tight-knit community, known for family-friendly events and small-town charm. It might not be shocking then, to learn that the community is pulling out all the stops and coming together to support one of its own in his fight against leukemia.
My children can’t drive by Dale Ryan and Dyanah Musgrave’s home on Fifth Street without a smile and a request to stop at the “candy cane house.” Most are aware that this year Ryan had to start early to set up his amazing light show as part of preparation for a national TV show that was recognizing his particular and unique contribution to our community.
In 1946, Boulder City and the Hoover Dam played host to a movie cowboy. Actor and singer Roy Rogers (born Leonard Franklin Slye) spent time in our city while filming the movie “Heldorado.” If you think I spelled the title wrong, think again.
Last week, in his “Talk of the Town” column, Mayor Rod Woodbury wrote about how thankful he is, how glorious Boulder City is, and how much he wants the community to share with him their favorite photos. On the city’s website this is actually a contest being promoted, though no mention is made of either rules or prizes.
We now enter week three in our discussion of bias: implicit, preconceived beliefs; explicit, personal preference; or illicit, breaking standards.
With the holidays upon us, many of us find our stress reaching all-time highs, and our attention focused on material goods — not necessarily what we hope, but what in the world to give loved ones.
Boulder City Hospital has received high praise in 2016, including a number of awards and accreditations despite lacking an important accreditation obtained by many hospitals in Clark County.
History is an intrinsic part of Boulder City, a community that has made a concerted effort to keep the past alive and has become a bit of authentic tourist destination because, in large part, of those efforts.
The city’s decision to fund design plans for Boulder City Parkway brings the project one step closer to reality, but not all businesses on the site’s location believe it will be completed.
Go to practically any event in Boulder City and it would probably be more surprising not to find Barbara Agostini there than to see her volunteering — again.
Boulder City High School’s boys soccer program dropped to 0-3 this week, but team members were able to hold their heads high knowing they put a better product out on the field.
Just the other day my husband and I were commenting on how attached we have become to our cellphones and tablets. There is rarely an instance where one or both of us does not have some type of electronic device within arm’s reach. Sometimes we even juggle two devices at the same time.
When you change out the batteries for your flashlight, camera or other devices, what do you do with the used ones? Do you guiltily throw them in the trash, like most people? After all, they are described as single use or “throw-away” batteries. But where do they end up? In the landfill mostly. The same could be said for used computer ink cartridges.
The Boulder City High School Eagles football team will host its second annual Military and First Responders Appreciation Night at Friday’s home game against the Pahrump Valley Trojans.
I feel like the old gray mare. I kick and wrestle against the bar of life, but still the whiffletree of years ravage my body. (Knowing what a whiffletree is dates me — it is the bar that stabilizes the harness behind a team of horses).
There’s no place like home, especially for Boulder City High School’s girls volleyball program, which after a rough opening week of play started its home slate Sept. 1 with a crucial 3-1 (27-25, 19-25, 26-24, 25-22) victory over Class 4A program Basic.
The feeling at the Eagles’ football practice Tuesday was one of relief coming off of Friday’s huge 42-0 victory over 2A program Lake Mead.
