October's Left Hand Laurel is Dr. Gerald Savory, DDS,

in Gunbarrel. 
Besides his dental practice Savory has served on the school board of Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic School and on the board of Gunbarrel Lefthand Valley Recreation Association, now known as Niwot Youth Sports. He also sponsors Niwot Youth Sports baseball teams, gives speeches at middle school alerting students to the dangers of smoking and smokeless tobacco and serves as president of the Boulder County Dental Society. As a result of this extensive volunteer work, Dr. Savory is the Courier's Left Hand Laurel for October.

Ziegler recognized an opportunity.

2004 Niwot Nostalgia Day
Declared Great Success
By
all accounts, the 2004 edition of Niwot Nostalgia Day was a smashing
success. Niwot Community Association president Neal Anderson
said, “People have told me they thought it was the
best ever. We've been steadily expanding events and activities
during the day and evening. This year we emphasized children's
activities with more games, rides, magic shows and puppet shows.”
With the quilt show at the Grange, an antique road show, a fashion show and tea at the Niwot Inn, there was plenty for the adults.
