Ok. 2025 has just entered the building. Does that mean it is time to take a swing at New Year's resolutions? Do we decide to lose weight, get a new job, or call our moms more often? Here is what I think. It is time to restart and reboot. Like your computer or your refrigerator's water filter, sometimes you just have to reset it to see clearly. It is like a mental cleanse. Erase the board, clear the cache, start over. I cannot count how many times my computer gets "clogged up" and it just won't...

With the new year, many of us resolve to change something in our lives. Small changes can make a difference.

The Left Hand Valley Courier staff shares some of their New Year’s resolutions below. Now that you have gotten to know us better, maybe their resolutions might inspire you to make your own.

Niwot High School junior Sam Popma has always been interested in art, but what has inspired him has changed over time. Currently, Popma enjoys working with metals and making music. "I think it's living in Colorado--the mountains are so beautiful," he said. "I incorporate designs into my work a lot. So having inspiration like that is helpful." Art has been a part of Popma's life from an early age. He remembers visiting the Crackpots ceramics studio in Longmont with his parents when he was young,...
Luke Demmel may not always produce the flashiest offensive numbers, but his willingness to play defense and rebound has the Niwot High School varsity boys basketball team trending upward with conference play on deck. Through Niwot's first eight games, the senior Demmel led the Cougars in blocks (five) and ranked second in total rebounds (41). Those efforts haven't gone unnoticed by Head Coach Walker Bounds. "He comes in with his size, and his shot-blocking ability can help us alter shots around...

Bote, who grew up in Longmont and played for Niwot Youth Sports teams, signed with the Chicago Cubs out of Neosho County Community College in Kansas in 2012 as an 18th...
The Niwot High School wrestling program is preparing to host the annual Invitational meet on Saturday, Jan. 4, the first under new head coach Michael DeCamillis.

DeCamillis wrestled and played football at Broomfield High School before continuing his football career as a center at Chadron State...
