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.

Maureen Avery,

Dispelling the myths of organ donation

Long before I was mayor of Boulder City, before I was a state legislator, I started a long, rewarding career as a physician. Two of the hardest things about being a doctor is, 1) telling someone that their loved one has died, and 2) sharing news about critical, potentially-fatal conditions.

Drive-in theaters: A dying form of entertainment

The other day I saw something on how few movie drive-ins there are these days and it got me thinking about my memories of drive-ins.

Sleeping in cars, helping homeless veterans

If you are a homeless veteran, would you care to sleep in an abandoned automobile, in an old vehicle with no heat or A/C?

Wouldn’t it be nice?

So the other day, Ron and I were talking about death.

Lest we forget

Over the last 200 years, life expectancy worldwide has nearly doubled. Today, many live well into their 80s or 90s and beyond.

The bumpy road to compromise

Ever since I can remember, parking in our business district has been a topic for conversation in Boulder City.

Your love from relations and relationships

How is it that humanity is becoming lonelier while the population of the planet is rapidly rising beyond eight billion people? We are talking with each other less in person, demonstrating love with our presence. Our hearts stir when we are with those we love, don’t they?

BC knows how to honor its students

For the third time since being back in Boulder City, I got to attend and cover the high school graduation.

Was that a cow that just flew by?

I had intentions of writing this month about my goal these past 18 months of gathering experiences as opposed to material things, especially as I get older.
