Mountain View Fire and Rescue received a call at 2:32 a.m. last Wednesday of a commercial fire alarm on the 200 block of Franklin Street in Niwot. By the time the fire was extenguished, extensive damage had been done to Colterra Food & Wine. Owner Bradford Heap placed the following statement on the eatery’s website and social media pages. “Dear Friends, “Colterra is closed until further notice due to a fire. We will keep you posted on our efforts towards re-opening. “We would like to thank t...
Despite playing their “best soccer in two years,” the Niwot boys soccer team almost got more than it could handle from a Longmont Trojans squad still vying for a playoff spot in the last game of the regular season. An overachieving Trojans’ defense repeatedly stymied Niwot’s relentless attack during the rare night game at Everly Montgomery Field last Wednesday, and the Cougars barely escaped with a 1-1 tie. “Score line aside, I was really happy with the way that we played for most of that game...
In their final night game of 2017, the Cougars lost 69-0 to conference opponent Broomfield in front of the home crowd at Everly Montgomery Field Oct. 19. It was Niwot’s eighth loss of the season and third straight shut-out. Senior quarterback Matt Baun went 9-for-16 with 59 yards passing and led the Cougars in rushing, gaining 15 yards on four carries. His freshman counterpart, Ayden Bartko, was 1-for-3 passing, with –7 yards on the ground. Sophomore running back Liam Flanagan was back in the...
On Oct 16, LIGO announced its observatories were able to detect gravitational waves created by the collision of two neutron stars. The collision occurred on Aug. 17. The collision, known as a kilonova and similar to a supernova, simultaneously generated electromagnetic waves (light and gamma rays) and a gravitational wave, both travelling at the speed of light. LIGO detected the gravitational wave, while other observatories detected the electromagnetic wave. The collision also produced heavy metals, such as gold, silver, lead and uranium....
Efforts are underway to bring attention to one of Niwot’s most treasured historical gems – the Fire House Museum. It’s a tad too easy to be chatting on a stroll down 2nd Avenue and completely miss the lean wooden structure that sits back from the façades of the adjoining buildings. The Niwot Historical Society (NHS) recently put into motion two efforts – the renovation of the fire house museum building, and the restoration of the building site. NHS has successfully raised the needed funds to...
In an unassuming building in Gunbarrel lies a hidden gem, High Precision Devices, Inc. HPD has been in the headlines recently, because its seismic isolation platform was an integral part of the experiment that won the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics. The prize was awarded to three physicists, Drs. Rainer, Weiss Barry Barish and Kip Thorne, for the detection of a gravitational wave that was generated by a collision of two black holes over one billion years ago. Einstein predicted the existence of...
Editor’s Note: Packages were mailed in early October, and included a copy of the Courier. If you know of any deployed Soldiers/Sailors/Marines/Airmen that would like a package, and have an APO/FPO address that you can provide, please email [email protected]. I am currently deployed to (removed) and I received a box of snacks and a letter inside from you, I read the letter and looked in the newspaper and it made my day. I could tell that people actually put effort into this box and it was people...
