Letter to the Editor: Setting the record straight

Setting the record straight

Regarding information stated in the Boulder City Review on Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024, in an article titled “Dog Park Slated to Reopen Oct. 31.”

As a member of the “See Spot Run” Community I would like to clarify and correct stated comments.

We are not a privately-run organization. We are a 501-C-3 nonprofit, that receives funding from donations and grants. Our mission is to advocate and provide an acceptable environment for the dogs of Boulder City. In future articles we would appreciate being referred to as See Spot Run Nonprofit Dog Park and the Parks and Recreation facility as the “Boulder City Dog Park” when referencing the different entities.

The grass issue is often brought up and there has been a long history of misinformation concerning the surfacing issues at our location. We are acutely aware of the tenuous state of water supply in our area. The substantial level of maintenance and the prohibitive cost of Boulder City municipal water supply needed for grass, requires funds. Our all-volunteer group is dedicated to supplying the very best environment for our “doggie families” and will continue to work at raising the funds necessary to succeed in our mission.

Margaret and Robert Kolar would be proud that their dream of a dog park is being kept alive by Sandra, Reg, Sara, Don and our generous donors and volunteers.

If you would like “The Rest of the Story,” information or are interested in donating or volunteering, please reach out to us at 725-272-9013.

A look at growth in Boulder City

Due to the Clark County School District’s Change of School Assignment program (COSA) as well as declining resident enrollment, a large percentage of the school’s enrollment comes from outside of Boulder City.

Gimme it down to there

About seven weeks ago, I did something that I would not advise for even a healthy dude or dudette in their 30s, much less for a guy who will qualify for Medicare in about eight weeks. I had two pretty major surgical procedures in the space of three days. I know, not a super bright move.

Mahalo for the memories

I’ve mentioned before that one of my more recent stops on my journalism journey was in Hawaii.

Council meetings explained

Boulder City is committed to maintaining openness and transparency. City council meetings are critical to our democracy. The city council is the legislative body that discusses and makes decisions on issues affecting our city. The purpose of a city council meeting is to enact ordinances, appropriate funds, set priorities, and establish policies.

Unclogging a drain can be as simple as boiling water

Seems like every time I visit my brother in California I end up doing a DIY project. This holiday was no different. While I love helping out with projects, especially since they’re great teaching moments for the kids, I didn’t plan on spending hours on the guest bathroom floor unclogging drains.

A personal milestone 40 years in the making

First off, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas yesterday and have a very happy, healthy and safe New Year ahead.
