  • Slow start dooms Cougars against Silver Creek

    Jocelyn Rowley, [email protected]|Jan 25, 2019

    It was another tough week for the Niwot boys basketball team, as they dropped two more conference games, one by a razor thin margin to a top-10 team and the other by double-digits to a very beatable arch-rival. For Cougar head coach Eric Hejl, the most difficult part may have been deciding which one was harder to take. “Greeley Central probably stings more because I feel like one little thing goes differently and we win that game,” he said after his team fell to Silver Creek by 12 points on Jan....

  • Crust in time! Domino’s Pizza returns to Gunbarrel

    Dani Hemmat, [email protected]|Jan 25, 2019

    After over a decade-long absence, Domino’s Pizza is once again ringing doorbells in the Gunbarrel/Niwot area. The new Gunbarrel location opened up on Jan. 4, months after the original intended opening of October 2018. And while some folks are happy to see the new pizza offering, long-time residents might remember when Domino’s delivered in the area way back when. “There was actually a Domino’s here in Gunbarrel,” said manager Nick Keeler, who used to manage the Longmont Domino’s. “It was a g...

  • Student-Athlete of the Week: Kristi Vu

    Jocelyn Rowley, [email protected]|Jan 25, 2019

    Niwot senior Kristi Vu became a swimmer by accident. Literally. “I started swimming as physical therapy for gymnastics,” she said. “And I just started to love it more and more. I finally quit gymnastics two years ago, because swimming was so much more fun.” ‘Fun’ is a word that Vu uses liberally to describe her time with the Niwot swim team. For example, she said it’s the main reason she’s specialized in sprints, in particular the 50-yard freestyle. “It’s just a fun race to swim,” she said. “I...

  • Clutch scoring boosts Niwot over Silver Creek

    Jocelyn Rowley, [email protected]|Jan 25, 2019

    No one was happier than head coach Terri Ward when the Niwot girls snapped their five-game losing streak on Jan. 18 against Silver Creek. Down by six at halftime, the Cougars came back for a 38-35 win in overtime over the Raptors, thanks to some stepped-up defense and clutch free-throw shooting. However, Ward said afterwards that how her team won the game mattered less than why they won. “Our first half wasn’t great, and I pretty much went in and ripped them new faces,” she said. “I basical...

  • Letter to the Editor, Holubec Funeral

    Jan 25, 2019

    Thank you to MVFPD for sending Engine #10 to carry the first Niwot Volunteer Fire Chief to his final resting spot. It was noticed and warm words were expressed at the church service and most prominently at the Niwot Cemetery. This was very special to the Holubec family and friends who have been in Niwot many years and remember these years and the volunteers who served and protected residents. It is appreciated how much care and the investment you have made to this piece of Niwot history. We...
