30 years ago – May 10, 1985
Letter to the Editor: I was very interested and very concerned when reading your front page story “Sheriff’s excavation…” Hope you do a follow up story so Gilpin County residents can be aware if there is a chance our tax money will be used to foot the bill for a possible lawsuit that could have been avoided by the use of a little common sense. I have a question: Why didn’t the sheriff’s department contact the teenagers’ parents and deal with them instead of a couple of frightened children? It’s hard to believe that armed only with a child’s version of property lines, the sheriff’s department proceeded to dig up a dog’s grave. The lack of professionalism and the ludicrous manner in which this situation was reportedly handled by the sheriff’s department should have a lasting effect on the thinking of the residents of Gilpin County. From all the talk the story invoked, the humor in the story was not ignored. Some folks had “excavation” jokes laved in their comments! But then, sometimes from humor comes awareness! Sincerely, Clay Phillips, Apex Valley.
