Letter to the Editor (Dec. 1)

The importance of small community papers

I recently viewed an excellent PBS documentary about the Storm Lake Times in Storm Lake, Iowa. One in four local newspapers have been shuttered in this country, many bought up by big national corporations. I love that Niwot has a local newspaper that keeps the community current on local news and events, including our talented high school athletes and all the amazing folks who volunteer to help make Niwot the friendly community we all enjoy. I love supporting LHVC and reading the paper digitally so I can keep up on news even when out of town. If you haven't already subscribed, LHVC is such a good value and a worthy cause to support. If you have 90 minutes well worth your time to watch the Storm Lake documentary.

Keeping Niwot beautiful

We have so many wonderful walking areas in town, such a variety of trails and so much beauty to behold. I recently noticed two folks walking with bags picking up trash and thought what a great idea! When I remember, I bring a bag with me and pick up trash along the way, so easy and such a good way to be a good neighbor.
