Ok. Here comes the rain again. Who didn't love that sweet smelling, ground drenching rain that fell on Saturday night and into Sunday? Didn't we all sleep well under the sound of a soothing blanket of water falling gently on our homes and gardens? It wasn't a torrential downpour, and it wasn't accompanied by near hurricane force winds. It was just rain. What a relief! I love a rainy night. But you know what that means? The grass will once again be green, the flowers will perk up and we will...
When you think of "piccata" it is usually accompanied by "chicken" or "veal." That butter, capers, and lemon flavor is a favorite. If you like that flavor, try using it in salads, pasta, and of course chicken. Piccata sauce can go any which way. CHICKEN PICCATA Submitted by Elise Marylander Ingredients: 2 chicken breasts ½ cup heavy cream or milk 2 tsp. Maldon salt ½ cup cornstarch or flour 3 Tbsp. butter (or more) 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 yellow sweet onion, roughly chopped 2 tsp....
For the final time this year, Niwot's Cottonwood Square was transformed into a scene from the 1950s as the 2024 season of Dancing Under the Stars came to a close. Swing enthusiasts, newcomers, and long-time attendees gathered under twinkling lights for a night of Lindy Hop and laughter. The event, which has been a staple in Niwot all summer, delivered one last memorable evening on Friday, Sept. 20 as attendees danced the night away. Lorne Fultonberg, from Boulder Swing Dance, led the Lindy Hop...
Who doesn't like pizza? When you think of pizza, you probably think of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings. Or maybe a simple margherita pizza. Pizza is adaptable to any palate. Check out these new takes on traditional pizza. MADI'S FAVORITE SUMMER PEACH PIZZA Submitted by Madison Shaw Ingredients: Whole Foods pizza dough Peaches, peeled and sliced Fresh mozzarella Fresh basil Balsamic glaze Olive oil Directions: Roll out the pizza dough.

Ok. Remember when we used to read Time, Newsweek, TV Guide, People, and Rolling Stone? I am talking about magazines and newspapers made from paper. The kind you hold in your hands. My parents had the LA Times, the Sunday New York Times and the Wall Street Journal delivered to our front door. Reading the newspaper was a welcome ritual. They collected every issue of National Geographic. That magazine's stunning photos singlehandedly opened the world to small town America. We learned about African...
The overarching premise of "Sonata in Wax" by Edward Hamlin is that early twentieth century wax cylinders are unearthed by an antique purveyor who sends them to a sound engineer to mend the corrupted recording and uncover the genius behind the newly found musical work much ahead of its time. This background provides a solid foundation upon which many supporting interlaced stories with twists and turns draw the reader in. First, we meet Ben the sound engineer, solitary and divorced, still trying...
The penultimate Dancing Under the Stars swung into action Friday, Sept. 13, in Cottonwood Square. Despite Niwot High School homecoming festivities happening at the same time, the event brought together a large crowd of dancers from all over Boulder County who whirled under the stars and glittering string lights. Dancing Under the Stars organizer Catherine McHale said at the beginning of the evening, "It's going to be a good party tonight since it is the last salsa night of the season. It's...

Ok. File this under "Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus." It is a big filing cabinet so make a little room for this. Men buy things. Women buy things. People buy everything from houses to rubberbands. Women tend to be the purchasers of items that fit into a bag. I am thinking about groceries, clothes, and household goods. This is why in many households, it seems men take for granted that certain household items simply appear. For example, tissues, food, toilet paper, underwear, and band...
The annual Jared Music Foundation's RISE (Remember in September) Benefit Concert at Whistle Stop Park on Sept. 5 opened under an amazingly clear summer sky that faded into a beautiful pink-orange sunset, highlighting the mountains as the night darkened. Zivanai Masango and Helen Masango opened the concert with several songs from Zimbabwe and Southern Africa, including a sing-along they taught to the crowd which roughly translated to "When we're together, everything is okay." Funkiphino, the...
The House Blend Band will perform its last concert of the summer on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 6 to 9 p.m. on Second Avenue, in front of Old Oak Coffeehouse. Band leader and keyboardist Michael Tomich said the band will then take a "long winter's nap." Tomich, who co-owns the coffeehouse with violinist Patty Machin, said, “I think my manager has one more big batch of spaghetti sauce in her before she needs a break as well.” “The Niwot Gig will also be joining us again during our intermission,” he said. “We also love having their energy at the eve...
On Friday, Sept. 6, Cottonwood Square transformed into a lively celebration of country dance as Dancing Under the Stars hosted its first-ever country dance night. The atmosphere was electric, filled with laughter and the clinking of cowboy boots, as twinkling lights shone overhead casting a soft glow on the crowd below. The blend of cowboy hats, denim, pearl snap shirts, and lively country tunes gave the night an authentic feel. Participants were treated to an array of country dance styles,...

Ok. I bet at some point on Labor Day you said, "It feels like a Sunday, doesn't it?" That happens all the time. And then Tuesday feels like a Monday and Wednesday feels like a Tuesday and so it goes, messing up your whole week. Except it isn't just Labor Day that might confuse your routine. Often a Saturday feels like Sunday and if Friday is a holiday, it can feel like a Saturday. The good news in that case is that you get two Saturdays in a row. First, let's address the obvious - days are just...
On August 29, Hazel Miller & the Collective, along with Nalani Clisset (stage name Nalani) performed the final show of the 2024 Rock & Rails season at Whistle Stop Park. As Nalani was setting up for her opening set, headliner Hazel Miller was standing by the performance gazebo greeting arriving concertgoers like old friends. Energized and radiating joy, Miller promised them that they "were in for a great evening and plenty of dancing." Miller's band members were fired up for their set. Lead...

Ok. We all love our phones. We don't go anywhere without them. We can hardly leave a room without taking our phones with us. We text, get our news, play games, share Instagram stories, and regularly go down the TikTok rabbit hole on our phones. Where we used to have an encyclopedia, now we have Wikipedia and all that Google has to offer. We take pictures and videos with abandon. You can just as easily make a hotel reservation in Tokyo as you can call your mom. We are all oddly attached to our...
After a few drops of rain fell early at the Rock & Rails concert Aug. 22, the evening cooled off and the crowd came out to hear hometown girl Nalani Clisset and her band, The Nalani Effect, entertain the crowd with a mix of blues, funk and soul standards. Joined by Regi Wooten on guitar and Adam Wooten on drums, from the renowned Wooten Brothers, Nalani, her stage name, poured out her heart and soul on vocals while playing bass. Tunes included Chaka Khan's "Tell Me Something Good" as well as a...
On Friday, Aug. 23, Dancing Under the Stars featured a lively blend of waltz, folk, and contra dancing, bringing a fresh dynamic to Niwot's beloved event. The evening was accompanied by live music from keyboardist Teri Rasmusson and fiddler Royston Hunget, whose harmonious tunes set the perfect mood for the traditional dances.

Ok. Can we all take a deep breath after the first week of school? That first week is a little rough, don’t you think? All the fuss, anxiety, and logistical planning comes to head with the start of school. Whether you are a parent of a student or the student, it’s a tumultuous time. In the blink of an eye, the lazy days of summer end and the regimen of school begins. I am also sure you are familiar with the sleepy, whiny, anxiety that permeates the house around the start of school. Yes, it com...
While the reader may view this book as a spiritually driven physical journey that moves from the isolation of a small remote Tibetan village to the soaring views of the top of the world at Everest, Judith Glyde's first assertion is that she seeks to speak to a wide audience including "the adventurer, the musician, the travel enthusiast, the lover of mountains and all those in search of a challenge." Upon arriving in Kathmandu, the author has a "What the hell was I thinking?" moment. She...
Rock & Rail's penultimate summer concert welcomes back Niwot native Nalani DeMarco Clisset and her band, The Nalani Effect. Nalani, a bassist and vocalist, is a Niwot High School graduate and has deep roots in the Niwot community. "Rock & Rails is my home," Nalani said. "I remember when they built the gazebo and feeling that it was an anchor point for a community space. I just stood up on it, with my arms wide open, and wondered what the space would be like with the crowd, vendors, and...
Once again, the parking lot in front of Cottonwood Square's WiNot Coffee Company and The Little Shop became a Friday night outdoor ballroom during Niwot's Dancing Under the Stars.

Catherine McHale and Tom Masterson organized the evening, as they do every Friday. "We have salsa, swing dancing, and country...

Ok. My daughter once told me that to make friends, you should always say "yes" to invitations and overtures. I thought that was very good advice. And it is. Of course, until it isn't. Saying "yes" is something many of us do constantly. Do you want to have lunch? Will you stay late after work? Will you work this weekend? Will you join the parent teacher organization at school? Will you be the president? At some point, you must have some boundaries. They must be clear and respected. But first you...
