Let The Suds Flow As The Good Times Roll
By Kathy Raczkowski

Some neighbors are not happy, and one in particular.  But at a May 28 public hearing, members of the Niwot community, the Niwot Business Association and Boulder Creek Events successfully demonstrated to Allan Beezley, Boulder County Liquor Authority hearing officer, that Niwot’s summer concert series, Rhythm on the Rails, is a family-friendly community-building event at which beer, wine, and margaritas should be permitted to be sold. <More...>

 

 

Festivals on the Fourth

This year’s Fourth of July celebration in Niwot will combine some old favorites with some new twists. The day will begin in the traditional fashion with a pancake breakfast outside Niwot Market from 7:30-9:30 am. Bert Steele will be out there wielding his spatula, and the market crew will be joined by the Niwot Rotary Club dishing up pancakes and more. <More...>

Sean Ratliff’s Road to Omaha
By Bruce Warren (Sports@lhvc.com)  

Billed as “The Greatest Show on Dirt” according to the t-shirts for sale nearly everywhere, the College World Series is college baseball’s showcase event.  This year the Stanford Cardinal, picked to finish in the middle of the Pac-10 in preseason polls, and coming off a .500 season in 2007, defied the prognosticators and earned a trip to Omaha as one of eight teams in the country to compete for the title. <More...>

Five Buck Duck Out Of Luck

By Mary Wolbach Lopert (MaryL@lhvc.com )

 

If he had the wings of a sparrow
Over these prison walls he would fly.
The Left Hand Valley Courier’s Five Buck Duck seems to be in trouble. Did the fine officers of Niwot’s Boulder County Sheriff’s Department station incarcerate him as a jailbird for his DA? Did his little webbed feet run a “fowl” of that other web?
DuckAgain, we need your help in getting our plucky little duck help. Please take a lesson from Alexis Eliopulos, who correctly identified that last month the little quacker was nestled in the tree carving on Niwot Road.
Eliopulos will have the privilege of cheering on Duck Number 1 at the Second Annual Five Buck Duck Race at this year’s Niwot Nostalgia Day on Aug. 6.
This year’s proceeds from the duck race will benefit the tree carving on Niwot Road. Ducks are available for a $5 donation.
Send your guesses as to where the Courier’s little inmate is this month to DuckRace08@lhvc.com.
Please help liberate our own Birdbrain of Alcatraz.

But in 1996, when a church group from Longmont organized a group of health care professionals and invited Cross, of Boulder Vision Associates in Gunbarrel, to be part of their Eye Team, he saw a side of the country he had never seen before. <More...>
