Five Eagles will represent Boulder City High School in the cross country state championships this weekend, after strong performances at regionals.

The word phenom is defined as a person who is outstandingly talented or admired, especially an up-and-comer.
Over the next month or so is a wonderful time to spend outdoors enjoying Zion National Park. Daytime temperatures will likely drop into the most pleasant zone, and depending on the elevation you visit, you’ll be there for the start of fall foliage season.
Each week the coaches at Boulder City High School nominate an athlete to spotlight for contributions made to his or her team. This week’s honoree is senior Tyler Campbell, who runs on the varsity cross-country team. Campbell placed first in the Sept. 14 Boulder City weekday meet against five other schools, with a time of 18:15, and 10th in the Las Vegas Invitational a few days before. He is a four-year varsity letter recipient in cross-country and also is on the school’s track team. He is the son of Jeni Campbell.

Anyone who has been around the Boulder City political world for any stretch of time already knows that Mayor Joe Hardy is a pretty humble guy and not one to toot his own horn.
When Utilities Director Joe Stubitz briefed the city council on the status of Boulder City’s Dark Sky initiative, which involves replacing hundreds of street light fixtures with modern versions that aim light onto the ground and not into the sky, it was notable for reasons beyond spending and how soon the program would be finished.
Boulder City has a great vision statement. It’s located on the front page of our website: “The City of Boulder City is committed to preserving its status as a small town, with a small-town charm, historical heritage and unique identity, while proactively addressing our needs and enhancing our quality of life.”
