Post Independent photographer Jim Noelker won first place for a feature photo from the Yule Marble Quarry, and the paper’s graphics staff won first place for advertising layout and design in the 126th annual Colorado Press Association awards Saturday.
Noelker’s
photo depicted a solitary quarry worker dwarfed by massive blocks of marble
taken during the quarry staff’s search for a perfect block for the Tomb
of the Unknowns at the Arlington National Cemetery.
The
graphics staff won for overall excellence in design and placement of advertisements
in the April 18, 2003, and June 20, 2003, editions. Members of the graphics
staff are ad designers Linda Fleming, Melanie Handl and Patricia Bentley
and ad placement designer Dottee Duran.
The
Post Independent, with a circulation of 10,500 papers a day, won the awards
in the state press association’s Class V category, which includes daily
newspapers in the 10,000 to 100,000 circulation range.
Former
Aspen Times publisher Andy Stone announced the awards at the close of the
Colorado Press Association convention, held at the Brown Palace Hotel in
