The company described Tester and Rosen as champions of public lands and the outdoor industry. Tester is seeking a third term in the Senate while Rosen is a freshman House member who is challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Dean Heller. The move follows a lawsuit the California-based company filed last year challenging President Donald Trump’s decision to drastically shrink Bears Ears National Monument in Utah. The company also sparred with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, who accused Patagonia of lying after it claimed on its website that Trump “stole” public lands by shrinking Bears Ears and another monument in Utah. Patagonia said in a statement that it has fought for the protection of wild places since its founding and has been encouraging its customers and employees to vote “with the planet in mind” since 2004. The company is endorsing Senate candidates for the first time “because of the urgent and unprecedented threats to our public lands and waters,” said spokeswoman Corley Kenna. Nevada and Montana are two states where Patagonia has significant history and a long record of conservation accomplishments, Kenna said. Patagonia operates a global distribution center in Reno, Nevada, with more than 650 employee Its retail operations in Monta go back three decades. Patagonia CEO and Preside Rose Marcario said Rosen has strong record of defending publ lands in Congress and protectin access to clean air and clean w ter. “We need her leadership to pr tect Nevada’s economy and t basic health of its people, so t business community can thri and so Nevadans can prosper she said. Patagonia founder Yvon Cho inard said Patagonia was backin Tester “because he gives a dam about protecting public lands and like us he’s committed fight back against anyone wh doesn’t.” Tester is running against R publican Matt Rosendale, t state auditor.

Overall, Corner Canyon took first with 7,768, followed by Lone Peak with 7511 and Skyridge with 6585. The Miners’ seventh place ranking came with a total of 6240 points. “Oddly enough, we got beat by a lot of our North rivals,” Best said. “They’ve been leapfrogging us all season and it looks like a couple of them edged us out at state.” Weber and Davis both jumped ahead of Park City in the final race after finishing behind the Miners in the regular season. Best said the team’s nine gra uating seniors – Grace Jenk Anna Castro, Natalie Fink, Chl Taylor, Henry Silverman, Ma co Zanetti, Anders Ingle, Cha Luettinger, Jack “Sharky” Bur and Andrew Astill – would missed after the season. “The seniors that we are lo ing, they have been the heart an soul of this team, and other ki will step up, but they kind of e tablished the culture of this tea and I can’t explain in words ho huge that was,” he said. “In term of talent, we have plenty of goo riders coming up through t ranks, but this crew was fun.” sey, where he coached for the Olympic Development Program as well as with club and high school teams. He was awarded the NSCAA (now United Soccer Coaches) National Youth Coach of the Year in 2005. The award puts him in the running for National High School Boys Soccer Coach of the Year, which will be announced next January at the association’s convention in Chi- cago. Though he doesn’t expe to win that award, he is eager awaiting the state prize. “I look at the mail eve day,” he said. This school year, Mercha anticipates another successf season for the Miners. “We made it to the finals an we are looking to be in that s uation again,” he said. “I talke to the seniors, just so we kno where we’re headed, and that an exciting group.” about conserving and upgrading their systems.” In the southern part of the state, the drought and late-toarrive monsoon season left rivers such as the Animas and Rio Grande trickling at historic lows. Rain and snow this week has helped, spiking flows above those lowest-ever levels but still below historic levels for this time of year. Bruce Whitehead is the executive director of the Southwestern Water Conservation District, which protects water supplies across 11 counties in southwest Colorado. His region has been hit hard by the drought. In that time, Whitehead can’t recall ski resorts in his district struggling to secure water for snowmaking. Not even in 2002, when waterways withered in the summer and every user tightened their belts even more. Purgatory typically draws water for snowmaking from nearby Cascade Creek, which was very low at the beginning of October but, thanks to rain over the past two weeks, returned to normal levels. In the spring of 2017, Purgatory owner James Coleman wrote a letter supporting U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton’s proposed Water Rights Protection Act, which stemmed from a failed attempt by the U.S. Forest Service to require the transfer of private water rights as a condition of permits for ski areas operating on public land. Coleman wrote that new Fo est Service regulations for i stream flows in Cascade Cree had cut 95 percent of his r sort’s water supply. When he applied for the o portunity to develop existin water rights that his resort h held for 30 years in nearby He mosa Park, he told Tipton th the Forest Service “refused even process Purgatory’s app cation.” “Purgatory believes the actions by the USFS are a bl tant attempt by the federal go ernment to extort water righ through the permitting pr cess,” Coleman wrote. Today, the resort has 20 m lion gallons of water stored ponds at the ski area. It has u graded its snowmaking system to use water more efficiently. “No contingency plans at th point,” resort spokesman Gre Ralph said. “Counting on n ture for some help.” Like their colleagues acro the state, southern Colorad resorts such as Purgatory an Telluride began accruing seni water rights and developin storage decades ago. So, lea years rarely impact their snow making operations. “I’m not really hearing an concern with resorts being ab to meet their demands,” Whit head said. “Hopefully, we ha turned that corner now. We’v had some good rain, clouds no and snow on the high peaks.” Nov. 6 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 to 6:30 p.m. The deadline to sign up is Oct. 30. Kids ages 10 to 15 are welcome.

That’s the highest number of annual administrative calls since 2010. “Water has been super scarce this year, and there are a lot of competing demands. It’s been a really tough year,” said Bassi, noting that, hopefully, the colder weather will drop temperatures in the state’s warming waterways, which will help fish populations. “I am not aware of any additional actions that the state is taking. I think we are coming into some relief with the moisture now.” Ski resorts have long worked with the state to protect streams, she said. “I think they are aware that the people who come to Colorado want to see healthy streams, and it’s not all about one aspect of recreation,” Bassi said. “They have been pretty good Continued from B-1 Sports briefs YOUTH ARCHERY The PC MARC is offering a Youth Archery Class taught by professional National Archery in Schools Program Certified staff, who will teach the fundamentals of archery.
