Initially, a small group consisting of Brown, Principal Eric Rauschkolb, coaches, community members and past administrators will receive and eva...
The mid-20th century modern, bi-level home is a classic design found around the country and in many Boulder County neighborhoods. Decades after their building date, many of these homes are in need of a refresh. When Niwot-based Osmosis Art and Architecture was called on to participate in the design for a Boulder-based home in this style, the result led to a significant industry award. On Nov. 5, the project earned Osmosis a MAME (Marketing and Merchandising Excellence) award sponsored by the Hom...

The new mural called "Bug's Eye View" wraps around the entire front and southern side of 291 2nd Avenue, the former location of Niwot Rental and Feed.

I don't read memoirs very often, which is a shame because they are so unique and interesting. That's certainly the case with Kelly Daniels' book Cloudbreak, California. What is perhaps most unique about it is the way it's organized. There's a sense of chronological order--the first chapter begins with Daniels reflecting on his childhood--but as the story progresses, we revisit the past alongside him. For example, there's this excellent part where Daniels is describing a sojourn into a...
On Nov. 9, it was reported that Democrat Tracey Bernett won in a landslide to continue to serve as the state representative of House District 12, which includes Niwot, Louisville, Lafayette and Superior. Bernett won 78.7% of the votes and her opponent, Republican Anya Kirvan, won 21.3% of the votes. It was a stunning victory for Bernett, but her victory was overshadowed by the filing of criminal charges against her related to whether or not she resided in the legislative district she was elected to represent. The Boulder District Attorney’s O...

The Keep Our Libraries organization...

One of 18 teams vying for honors in the third-ever State Tournament since Unified Bowling became a CHSAA-sanctioned sport in 2020, Niwot planned to send a four-person team of three seniors and one junior.

Despite still being a "growing" team, the Niwot High School cheer team and head coach Christina Ayers are looking forward to what she expects to be a competitive showing at the state spirit championships. "We're fighting for finals this year," Ayers said. "We have a show, we have the girls that are fighting for it and ready for it. I think it's attainable - it's whether or not we get out there on the floor and we do what we know we can do." The Cougars, who were unable to compete in the Blast...
The admiration gymnast Nia Terrell's teammates have for their senior leader is abundant. As Niwot High School entered its final event at the Class 4A team state gymnastics championships on Nov. 4, all anyone in green and white wanted to do was ensure that Terrell's prep career would end on a high note. Niwot was in the mix for a top-three finish and the Cougars just needed a strong performance on floor, Terrell's only event of the day, at host Thornton High School. Niwot delivered. Freshman...
