The land use battle between Rocky
Mountain Christian Church (RMCC) and Boulder County wages on. Both parties have
continued to file an array of requests for extensions, motions and exhibits in
support of each side’s pending lawsuit.
At The Grange
By Dorinda Dembroski
Left Hand Grange No. 9, the second oldest active Grange in
the state of Colorado, was organized at the Batchelder Schoolhouse southwest of Niwot on Dec. 20, 1873.
The Grange received its charter on Jan. 24, 1874.
In 1942, meetings began to be held in the Nelson Hall in
Niwot. Now known as the Grange Hall, Nelson Hall was purchased by Left Hand
Grange from the estate of John Nelson in 1945.
Scott Haugland reminisces with Bob Bote at the luncheon honoring Bote for his 29 years with the Niwot baseball program. Haugland played for Bote in 1979 and 1980, then
went on to play in college at Mesa State in Grand Junction before returning as
an assistant coach for Bote after college. Haugland now
owns a landscaping company in Longmont, J & S Landscape.

Local Personalities Orchestrate
Schemes To Win Director’s Baton
By Julie
Fowler
Three of Niwot’s “celebrities” are
in the midst of a friendly competition for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: to direct the Niwot Timberline Symphony in the
song of their choosing.
Robin Abb, Happy Schaffner and Sam Smith were asked to compete in the first
Super Conductor Contest for the symphony since it relocated to Niwot a year
ago. The idea is that supporters cast their votes in dollars for their favorite
conductor-wannabe. One dollar equals one vote.
Your Most Memorable Valentine’s Day
By Mary Wolbach Lopert and Kathy Raczkowski
Ah, true love, even if you can’t quite place your finger on
it. We interviewed various citizens in the Gunbarrel and Niwot area to find the
dirt on their most memorable Valentine’s Day. Little did we know that there
would be a story on the real thing.
To those of you who couldn’t quite remember any of those
wonderful moments, you still have time to create an unforgettable memory this
year. Please let us know if you do.
Left Hand Laure Kellie Hudson
By Kathy Raczkowski
When your heart is in your work,
you’ll put in long hours, late nights and early mornings. Soon, others join you
in your mission. You may not want to take credit, but you were the catalyst.
Such is the case for this month’s
Left Hand Laurel, Kellie Hudson. As president of both Niwot High School’s Education Foundation (NHSEF) and Niwot Softball, Inc., (NSI),
Hudson contends she’s “nothing special, just a cog in the wheel.” But those
who’ve worked with her beg to differ.
