![]() Dave Gibson provides wonderful features and sports stories, Curt Halsted covers Gilpin Schools, Kirsten Springer covers business features, Kirk C. And Mindy Leary for her fire department coverage and Central City coverage. Aloric Davis is also still behind the scenes here with podcast editing too. And Dango Rose for his podcast production work (Cynthia works on this as well). I’m grateful to Jamie Lammers for his weekly music column and podcast contributions. Not to mention John Scarffe, who has worked for the paper for decades and contributes all of our Gilpin and Black Hawk government, as well as Coal Creek and Gilpin features. Each contributes about a third of the paper each week. Both have stepped into full-time positions after working piecemeal for quite some time. I’m grateful for Christopher Kelly and Omayra Acevedo, for their tireless work covering the news of the Peak to Peak. ![]() I’m thankful everything is digital now and we can primarily work from home or the office locations we have around the Peak to Peak. ![]() We work most weekends and don’t have many days when we are not online, at least for a while. It takes us from Thursday to Wednesday every week. After that, Cynthia and I make all remaining changes and eventually hit “send” to get it to press. I swear these two catch every comma, period and punctuation error, as well as grammatical errors, AP Style changes and more. Then Lynn does a second edit on the entire paper (and Taste of the Peaks). Lynn does first edit on all government stories and a few of the columns. Lynn and Sara have been an incredible part of the team for years. Other staff roles that are so important to making our process run smoothly each week are having amazing editors. Look out Gilpin and northwest Boulder County, he is gonna meet each of you as we move forward. And he has great connections with the business community of Nederland and beyond. He is exceptionally funny and sends things that continuously make me smile. Lenny brings humor to my email inbox every day. He was integral in helping to sell Taste of the Peaks advertising. I am so lucky to have Lenny on staff now to fill that role. For that, I am exceptionally grateful.Īnother role I have filled for many years is that of advertising sales and marketing coordinator. I am also reminded that while I have done this for over a decade, I am not a pro at design. And how awesome it is to try to put all the puzzle pieces together to make the work of art this paper is every week. When I do layout, I am reminded how much I love starting with a blank palette. And, while I did lay out most of this week’s paper (so Cynthia Davis can focus on the Taste of the Peaks), I will not be laying out most of the March 23 or 30 editions. Thankfully, I don’t have to lay out all of it. Another role is to lay out some of that content. One of my roles is to assign and gather content for all of those pages. This year, I have submitted some of our best work, to honor all of our amazing staff and what they contribute to this publication. Last year I missed the ball on submitting our entries. This week also wraps up the Better News Contest submissions (Friday at noon) for the Colorado Press Association. Right now that looks like 120 pages of published work, simultaneously, for the last week. We worked hard to get this paper to press, worked on the March 23 and March 30 paper, and are about to hit send on the Taste of the Peaks Spring edition.
