    Emily Long|Sep 9, 2020

    The First Friday Art Walk returned to Niwot on Friday, Sept. 4, after a five-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Moods were high, masks were worn, people were friendly, but socially distanced, and Niwot seemed to be returning to its usual community-oriented nature. Anne Postle, vice president of the Niwot Cultural Arts Associatio...

  • Community helps pull local restaurants through - so far

    Patricia Logan|Sep 9, 2020

    Local restaurants are hanging on thanks to an outpouring of support from the community, Boulder County grants, loans from the federal government and creative offerings. But the first yellow leaves of fall are creating fear for eateries that now depend on outdoor dining. "This is the really important piece; the community has kept us in business," said Michael Tomich, co-owner of Old Oak Coffeehouse in Old Town Niwot. "They have been incredibly supportive." "We have had an outpouring of support,"...

    Jocelyn Rowley|Aug 12, 2020

    A proposal to bring more parking to downtown Niwot cleared its last major hurdle on Aug. 6 when the Boulder Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to conditionally approve a parking facility on the western edge of downtown.

    Special to the Courier|Jul 29, 2020

    Kristen Arendt|Jul 22, 2020

    If you have had a pizza from Abo's Pizza in Niwot in the last 24 years and 20 days, you owe some thanks to Tom Smathers. Smathers, or "Big Tom" as he is known locally, has been the long-time owner of Abo's Pizza in Niwot. From feeding hungry high schoolers at lunch to turning out pizzas for dine-in, pick-up, and delivery, in his nearly a quarter of a century owning the restaurant, Smathers and his team have dished up countless pizzas for the Niwot community. But that era quietly came to an end i...

  • Rock & Rails on hold

    Jun 24, 2020

  • Playgrounds and other recreational sites can open with limits

    Patricia Logan|Jun 10, 2020

    The swings at Lefthand Valley Grange Park in Niwot remain still except for the occasional gust of wind. Yellow caution tape prevents little feet from reaching to the sky, a stark reminder of the concerns still present during the coronavirus pandemic. Technically, playgrounds are now allowed to open, according to state of Colorado guidelines. But the reality of following the recommendations and keeping everyone safe is daunting. They include sanitizing the equipment as often as feasible, limiting...

  • Rock & Rails postponed for now...

    Jocelyn Rowley|Jun 3, 2020

    Warm summer nights in June traditionally herald the return of music lovers to Niwot's Whistle Stop Park for the annual Rock & Rails summer concert series, with weekly Thursday night shows featuring a double-bill of local acts and fan favorites.

  • Niwot LID debates small business relief

    Jocelyn Rowley|May 13, 2020

    On Tuesday, May 5, the Niwot LID advisory committee gathered via videoconference for its first monthly meeting since March.

  • Left Hand Laurel: Vicki Maurer

    Amy Scanes-Wolfe|Feb 26, 2020

    Vicki Maurer's approach to life and volunteering is probably best put in her own words: "We do what we have to do and get it done." Maurer has been involved with many community organizations over the years, from Niwot Youth Sports to the Left Hand Valley Courier to the Niwot Cultural Arts Association. Appreciation for her efforts is widespread. "She's really easy to work with, enthusiastic about the town...and fantastic at what she does," said Michelle Henzel, treasurer of the NCAA. "Vicki is...

  • Reviving Niwot history in Whistle Stop Park

    Special to the Courier|Feb 26, 2020

    In 1873, the year the Colorado Central Railroad completed its track, one of the first buildings erected was the Depot. Two years later, the official plat of the town of Niwot was filed on March 30, 1875, by Porter Hinman and Ambrose Murray. Niwot is rejuvenating its history with a rendition of The Depot at Whistle Stop Park, to serve as the concessions building for Rock & Rails summer concerts.

  • Santelli's leadership of the NBA comes to a close

    Vicky Dorvee|Feb 5, 2020

    Tony Santelli's titles over his lifetime have been progressively more impressive and a couple of characteristics have consistently defined Santelli's legacy in both his professional and volunteer careers – his strong leadership skills and his wonderful way with people. Those traits were highly prized during his 12 years as president of the Niwot Business Association. The first in his family to go to college, Santelli earned an electrical engineering degree. The majority of his work life was w...

  • Familiar Faces - Bill and Jill Whitener

    Vicky Dorvee|Dec 4, 2019

  • Children's Park cameras installed to catch vandals

    Vicky Dorvee|Nov 13, 2019

    Niwot's Children's Park on 1st Avenue is a place of joy and playfulness, bustling with happy children. The award-winning, community-funded park has also been on the receiving end of destructive mischievousness. But now, the wrongdoers will be caught on video and there will be ramifications. Sadly, there have been recurring incidents of graffiti scrawled in the bathrooms and on the sidewalks and there has been damage done to the structures and creatures. Embellishments have been pried off of...

  • Projects take wing across Niwot thanks to Eagle Scouts

    Jocelyn Rowley|Aug 21, 2019

    Niwot's Left Hand Grange No. 9 (195 2nd Ave.) has been a community gathering spot for more than seven decades, and now it's just a little more welcoming, thanks to Brandon Hult and the Boy Scouts of Niwot Troop 161. Earlier this month, the Eagle Scout candidate oversaw the construction of an outdoor seating area in the rear yard, so patrons will be able to enjoy the hall's many charms from a sunnier (or starrier) vantage point. "Members of the grange just wanted this area cleaned up a little bit...

    Jocelyn Rowley, [email protected]|Jul 18, 2019

  • Via Mobility provides transportation options

    Abigail Scott|Jul 10, 2019

    Niwotians will agree that Rock & Rails is a great way to bring the community together each week, hear some killer live music and tuck into delicious, local grub.

  • Protecting the Left Hand watershed

    Jocelyn Rowley|Jul 10, 2019

    After floods ravaged Boulder County in 2013, the Left Hand Watershed Center (formerly the Lefthand Watershed Oversight Group) spearheaded efforts to rebuild its namesake waterway with a series of long-term restoration projects designed and implemented using a science-based approach.

  • Jody Evans sparks joy and connection with hula hoops

    Abigail Scott, [email protected]|Jul 3, 2019

    Jody Evans didn’t start hula hooping with the intention of forming a business from the activity. Instead, she took up hula hooping as a way to relieve stress and invite happiness back into her life. During a tough period about nine years ago, Evans walked into her garage and picked up a K-Mart hula hoop. In an effort to release tension, shake off the blues and just feel happy again, she tried to hula hoop with the once-forgotten plastic ring. It was broken and aged and didn’t work correctly so...

    Jocelyn Rowley, [email protected]|Jun 20, 2019

    Jocelyn Rowley, [email protected]|May 16, 2019

    It was a busy month for the Niwot LID advisory committee, with a host of summer events on the funding docket, and some new business regarding liability.

On the revenue side, the county reported that LID businesses collected $25,585 in revenue during the first two months of 2019, down from 2017 ($27,290), but up from 2018, though the latter total is still not finalized due to what appears to be an erroneous credit that t...

  • Rosenberg’s world imagines the unexpected

    Vicky Dorvee, [email protected]|May 10, 2019

    Filmmaker Adam Rosenberg’s creations may make you cover your eyes, but you’ll be peeking through your fingers so you don’t miss a thing. Rosenberg’s post on Nextdoor let us in on his latest short film, The Runs. The final scene takes place in his own hood, Cottonwood East. Rosenberg warned, “Beware, the film relies heavily on potty humor,” and that wasn’t an analogy. It took about a day for anyone to comment on his post. Perhaps it was because the film starts with a man on the toilet, which...
