Letter to the Editor

Dog walkers should show more respect

I understand people wanting to walk their dogs in the cemetery, although it’s clearly posted “no dogs allowed.” Given that, please have the courtesy to carry a bag with you in the event your dog needs to do more than urinate.

When visiting my husband’s grave last week, I was highly shocked and irritated to find piles of excrement on his grave marker. This is not only disrespectful but rude. If you see your dog getting in that position, at least guide him to the grass, the “outcome” of which still should be picked up. It’s better than (disrespecting) a person’s name.

My husband, Cliff McCay, loved dogs, as do I, but people need to be more considerate in this regard.

If it’s a coyote situation, so be it.

Make a new plan, Stan

Time to recognize unsung heroes

We have so many functions within the Boulder City Police Department, from school resource officers to road patrol to the detective bureau.

One unit is the backbone of our public safety response: Public Safety Dispatchers.
