Mayor Bob Crowell will top the list of speakers at this year’s Memorial Day services at Lone Mountain Cemetery. The ceremony begins at 1 p.m. Monday. Cemetery manager Tim Glancy said since this is the 150th year of Nevada’s admission to the union, the Sons of Veterans of the Civil War will participate, including firing an old cannon. Robert Bledsoe, who organizes the annual event, will be master of ceremonies and play the bagpipes at the event, which also features an address by retired Navy Capt. David Treinen. Glancy said the event usually draws up to 300 but, with good weather, may see more participants this year.
