Ok. It's graduation time. Whether you are graduating yourself or you have a child, grandchild or other family member or friend who is graduating about now, we all know what a big step that is. The word "commencement" means both an end as well as a beginning. It's the celebration of the end of one of life's many chapters and the beginning of another. But don't let me be your commencement speaker. Heck, we could have the wisdom of Bill Gates, Oprah, Tim Cook, Maria Shriver, Arnold Schwarzenegger...

OK. Have you ever taken a trip with your adult siblings? I mean no spouses, no children. Just you guys? I recently took a trip to Lake Powell with five siblings and five other old friends, and two teenagers. Can we just talk about the logistics of that for a minute? Logistics for family events, whether reunions, birthdays, weddings or just a vacation can be daunting. But let's just focus on 12 people from various parts of the nation converging on a barren southwestern portion of our country...

OK. Keeping track of passwords has become a full time and often frustrating job. And I don't mean "Password" with Alan Ludden and Betty White. It used to be you just needed a password to get on your computer and maybe visit your bank statement. And let's be honest, most of the time you had a username like TomSmith and a password like "password." Or if you were feeling especially clever, you would choose "passw0rd." Now, it seems you need a password for everything: logging on to your computer,...

OK. Many of us enjoy a cocktail now and then. Actually, now sounds pretty good. Seriously, everyone has their first choice/go-to cocktail. You might order white wine, red wine, beer, gin and tonic, vodka soda or vodka Red Bull. Whatever. But let me tell you, the minute those words come out of your mouth, someone has just sized you up. I have found that it's not how much you drink but what you drink that gets everyone's attention. Wine? It is no longer just white or red. No, my friend, if it's...

OK. Raise your hand if you miss "TV Guide." I mean the pint-sized weekly magazine, not the website. I do. A lot. "TV Guide" ushered in the whole era of television watching starting in 1953, designating which shows were broadcast in "living color" in its familiar grid of times and channels. Do we even say "channels" anymore? "Channels" meant ABC, NBC, CBS, maybe one or two independent stations, and PBS, where all the "educational" shows were found. "Times?" That's prehistoric too. Now, you watch...

OK. We have all been on a diet. Whether it's to lose weight (me), avoid allergies (yeah, I am looking at you, gluten), improve your health, or just a lifestyle choice, we have all adopted a diet from time to time. Of course, sometimes that diet is hot dogs, pizza and hamburgers (and don't forget the onion dip and Fritos), but most often it is a choice of certain foods to obtain the desired result. In other words, we are what we eat. I believe diets fall into three basic categories: Food choice...
He may not have finished high school in Niwot, but that doesn't stop Zeb Baker from considering himself a Cougar. While enrolled at Niwot High School from his freshman through junior year in the early 90s, Baker made a mark on the NHS community: he served as freshman and sophomore class president, as well as student body president as a junior. He was the student representative on the newly-formed Niwot High School Education Foundations. On top of that, he managed the boys' basketball and footbal...

April's First Friday Art Walk, co-sponsored by the Niwot Cultural Arts Association and Osmosis Gallery, brought out plein-air artists and local musicians on April 7 as the weather cooperated for a change. Several plein-air artists, including Niwot Juried Art Show award-winning artist Bill Enyart, painted scenes of Niwot on 2nd Avenue, while musicians performed in Cottonwood Square and on 2nd Avenue. Restaurants were busy and stores that stayed open, including Osmosis Gallery and Niwot Jewelry &...

The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will hold a hearing on Monday, April 31 at 1 p.m. to hear a proposal from Niwot for a multi-modal transportation underpass to improve safety at the intersection of Niwot Road and Highway 119 (the Diagonal). The underpass would send both lanes of the Diagonal under Niwot Road and preserve the pristine view of the mountains for travelers heading west on Niwot Road. The commissioners are expected to make a positive decision. The Niwot Local Impediment...
The Boulder County Commissioners met for an emergency meeting on Saturday, April 1, to abolish Daylight Savings Time in Boulder County. Daylight Savings Time was enacted during World War I to conserve energy and has been the law in most states in the U.S., including Colorado since that time. Commissioner Angela Silverman said, “It is time we take back our role as a governing entity and abolish antiquated laws that adversely impact our citizens and wildlife.” Sean Wilcox of the Boulder County Parks and Open Space Department testified at the mee...
Niwotian Hans "Sparky" Wheeler normally has a calm ride into Boulder in the morning on his e-bike. Wheeler's usual route is to take Niwot Road to CO 119 (the Diagonal) and "ride to Boulder on the shoulder," as he puts it. But construction on the Möbius Hyperloop under Niwot Road began at that intersection April 1, so Wheeler decided to take the Longmont-Boulder (LoBo) trail instead. But just as he was crossing through the underpass at Highway 52, he encountered trouble. The e-bike assist...
Niwot Elementary School was honored April 1 when the school was chosen among dozens of applicants to pilot a new program for fifth graders. The program will combine elements of geography, physics, astronomy, hydrology, metaphysics and astrophysics to help students learn about the Flat Earth Theory which explains why the earth is, in fact, flat. The Flat Earth Theory, commonly known as the Flatulence Theory, has a long history dating back more than two thousand years, and is based upon the...
Graduating from Niwot High School in 2005 was only the start of Justin Rolando's educational journey. Four years at the University of Colorado Boulder and eight years at Caltech where he earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree, Rolando is now living in Boston working on the forefront of medical technology. His work is primarily focused on integrating engineering into the field of medicine for practical use. "We're trying to translate engineering and scientific ideas from..., we always call it from...
Ok. You know sometimes when you go out to dinner, you are pleasantly hungry, and looking forward to some good conversation, good food and some one-on-one time? You walk in, the host smiles and says, "Right this way," and then you find yourself heading for the dreaded "banquette." You know, that place they seat you when all the cozy booths and intimate tables are occupied? The place where you sit painfully close to the people next to you, along a sound amplifying wall like a string of dominoes....
Some of my friends have called me a "keeper of stories," and as much as I take pride in that title, I don't feel as though I've lived enough to be a keeper of my own stories yet. Instead, I collect others', and at opportune times might whip one out-there's something about finding a spark of adventure in seemingly pedestrian accounts of daily life, and it's those stories I find most intriguing. That's why I enjoyed local author and former journalist Stan Nicholas' account of his early years in...
