As mines close their doors in Colorado's North Fork Valley, they leave behind a troubling legacy: leaking methane.

For nearly a century, Colorado's North Fork Valley relied on coal for high-paying jobs and a thriving economy. But as mines close their doors, they leave behind a troubling legacy: leaking methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide, and global leaders are taking it seriously. One entrepreneur is a step ahead, using his business to address methane emissions while also tackling other environmental problems. Plus, more and more people headed into the backcountry this year – and many rescue groups have seen an increase in calls. That puts pressure on volunteers who help respond to emergencies.

What has been hailed as a climate-saver and also decried as a job-killer, President Joe Biden's recent executive order pauses new federal oil and gas leases. It's drawing attention in the region. Conservationists and small farmers in the North Fork Valley welcomed the orders as a respite that will protect clean water and agri-tourism in the valley. Meanwhile, Lauren Boebert called blocking future leases an unlawful attack on jobs, at a time when Coloradans are struggling from COVID-19's hit on the economy. To read more about what's going on visit us at montrosepress.com. Now, our feature story. What would have been Lauren Boebert's first stop in Montrose since being sworn in was canceled on Saturday. Boebert had apparently been scheduled for an event here. Word of the event began circulating online on Friday evening. But by Saturday, the event had been canceled. The host site, Circle 3 Cowboy Fellowship, reported receiving a phone threat before that cancelation. Ben Stout, the Communications director for the US Congresswoman said that Boebert The was planning on stopping by a small private event. It was not an official town hall organized by her office. And it ultimately became clear that there was not enough security for the number of people that were planning to attend.  Stout did note that the congresswoman looks forward to meeting with members of the community in the future. Pastor Gary Lear told the Montrose Daily Press the church was notified of the cancelation on Saturday morning. And that morning, Lear said the church received nearly 10 threats related to the event. One threat came from a Denver area code phone number. The individual that issued the threat apparently claimed to be part of Boebert's team. The Montrose County Republican Party had planned to attend the event according to Chairman Ray Langston. Langston said the party was disappointed about the cancelation. The Montrose Mirror announced details of the event on its Facebook page Friday evening, but the post, and a subsequent post about the cancelation, have since been taken down. To learn more about this story, visit us at montrosepress.com. And before we go,  We'd like to highlight the Montrose high school girl's basketball team. The group is certainly happy to be back after more than a month of waiting for an official timeline. Coach Steve Skiff said that they know it's going to be different in a lot of ways and it's going to be fast and furious, but they have a great group of kids and they have great leadership from seniors.  The team is getting used to wearing the mask while playing, and adjusting to the conditions after a rough start, but the mentality remains positive, for both players and coaches.

I interviewed Founders Kate Povondra & DJ Petz from the Happy Buddha Hemp Company in Colorado about CBD. They grow and produce the “fullest, full-spectrum CBD.” Spagyric CBD products.   Kate discovered CBD through DJ when she severely injured her back in a fall. Once very active, she was faced with crippling pain and a drastic change in her lifestyle. She was doing everything she could to find relief but what she found was fleeting- until she found CBD through DJ. As a massage therapist of 14 years, she became fascinated with what she was experiencing so she did extensive research to see what was causing these results and began using it on her massage clients to see how CBD can work with the body and help people. Once she started using it on others, she really understood what an amazing, beneficial compound CBD was.   DJ had known about CBD for a long time, he had been growing cannabis for 10 years and moved out to the North Fork Valley of Colorado to learn how to refine his technique and how to grow plants without using any harmful or toxic chemicals, which is still the norm for most cannabis. He quickly learned that great hemp starts with great soil & by using natural methods, you don't have to sacrifice the yield of the plant to keep the quality high.   The pair started to formulate products that kept true to their values as individuals and that would help people have access to pure, clean, cost-effective CBD products. What started as a grassroots company 4 years before hemp was federally legalized, gained a popular following in Colorado. In Dec 2018 when the Farm Bill federally legalized hemp, Kate & DJ brought their company nationwide and found an overwhelmingly positive response. Through the years, they have grown a husband & wife company to a team of 5 managing partners, 44 employees and nationwide recognition of authorities in the CBD Industry. Their vales are at the core of the company and they have refused to sacrifice them for profits.   They developed a unique extraction and processing method based on these ancient techniques in partnership with a biochemist. Their goal was to create a final product that provided maximum impact and potency, and this started with a study of how CBD interacts with the body and what variations in content and delivery meant for the end user.   These interactions are powered by the body's endocannabinoid system, a network of nerves and chemical receptors present in almost every bodily system that interact with the chemical compounds in the hemp plant. Though cannabidiol activates the largest portion of these receptors, it does not interact with all of them. Different receptors in this system are designed to achieve optimal activation with different chemical compounds, and so the inevitable conclusion is that, in order to achieve maximum impact, cannabidiol alone is not enough.   This is the “entourage effect”. It means that the compounds in CBD are most effective when taken all at once and allowed to work together within the body by maximizing activation of all parts of the endocannabinoid system. A huge focus in CBD research right now is in mapping out exactly how these interactions support each other and change the behavior of compounds inside the body and what combinations of compounds are most effective at producing certain results for health and wellness.   This is the reason to always be wary of CBD that is advertised as isolate or “pure”. Though this may sound like a good thing, what it actually means is that you're only getting a fraction or even only 1 of the over 100 compounds from the hemp plant that can interact with the endocannabinoid system. This means that you will only experience a fraction of the effects.   Once they confirmed this, the question became how could they get as many of these compounds into our extractions as possible for maximum potency and impact. Many companies refer to this as “full-spectrum,” but analysis shows that many products that are described as such, don't actually contain anything close to the actual full-spectrum of active hemp compounds. Kate and DJ needed to go further, they needed the “fullest, full-spectrum CBD.” That's when they began developing their modern Spagyric CBD extraction method and their tests quickly showed that they were on the right track.   Kate  & DJ offered this special gift for Ultrasounds Radio Show listeners... 30% off Discount code for any products!

More than 600 people died on Colorado roads last year. The state says it's an epidemic of distracted driving -- especially among teens. New technologies created by a Boulder entrepreneur and a major automaker aim to lower the number of deaths. Then, the University of Denver's men's hockey team plays for the national championship this weekend, led by Will Butcher, who is up for an award given to the nation's best player. Also, West Central Colorado has seen the worst of the coal slump and residents aren't counting on President Donald Trump to bring back the industry. And, you might think of Nashville, not Denver, as a hotspot for country music but bands like Bison Bone are here to change that. Their debut album,“History Of Falling” is out today.

In prisons, hospitals and schools, therapists use art to treat mental health problems, and their work is becoming higher profile. Karen Pence, the nation's second lady, has made art therapy her cause, and there's mixed reaction to that. Then, President Trump issued a sweeping directive that seeks to wipe out the Clean Power Plan, which limits emissions on coal-fired power plants. CPR’s environment reporter Grace Hood reports on her trip to Colorado's coal country of North Fork Valley. Next, Iceland has managed to reduce its drug and alcohol consumption, and a Denver man gets some of the credit. And, 75 years ago it was ordered that people of Japanese descent could not voluntarily leave the West Coast. More than a hundred thousand ended up in internment camps. We'll hear about the prisoners who eventually settled in Colorado. Plus, you'll find an array of organisms if you dig in your backyard. Not so in Antarctica, says a CSU scientist.

Gathering, listening to, and sharing stories strengthens the fabric of the community by bringing people together in conversations about what they love about where they live and what they’d like to change. Hearing from residents can also lead to discoveries that the community immediately rallies around, such as an 1870s African-American church in Pennsylvania or a historic theater in Colorado. Three speakers, each with different but meaningful experiences, share how storytelling enriches a community and leads to positive change. Speakers: - Mimi Iijima is the Director of Programs and Special Projects for Pennsylvania Humanities Council. Mimi leads PHC’s effort to strengthen communities through the humanities and by bringing Community Heart & Soul to towns in the Keystone state. - Dani Smith is the great-great-granddaughter of a Civil War soldier who served in the U.S. Colored Troops. Story gathering by the Greater Carlisle Heart & Soul Project led to the discovery of an 1870s African-American church and cemetery, where Dani’s family discovered their ancestor. Her family has since been instrumental in the early steps of preservation of the church and cemetery. - Elaine Brett is a resident of the North Fork Valley in Colorado. She was active in that community’s Heart & Soul project and played a key role in creating the nonprofit that bought and renovated the town’s historic Paradise Theatre, relying on a state grant and funds raised locally and globally online. She has over thirty years of experience in facilitation, strategic planning and management in commercial, non-profit, and governmental sectors. Currently, she is on the boards of The Friends of the Paradise Theatre, the Western Colorado Community Foundation, and Downtown Colorado, Inc. -Fran Stoddard is a communications consultant with Orton and will serve as the moderator for this event. A national award-winning producer of video programs, Fran served as producer and host of Vermont Public Television’s weekly “Profile” interview program for more than a decade. She frequently serves as moderator for community events and has served on numerous non-profit boards including the Hunger Free Vermont, the Vermont Journalism Trust, Vermont Mozart Festival, Burlington City Arts, Vermont International Film Foundation, and Vermont Public Radio.

Learn how Orton's Community Heart & Soul™ approach incorporates personal story to illuminate a community's history, priorities, and aspirations, and how those stories can enable residents to drive local decision-making. Orton's Director of Programs Alece Montez-Griego is joined by Elaine Brett, project co-coordinator for the Community Heart & Soul project in the North Fork Valley, which includes the towns of Paonia, Hotchkiss and Crawford, Colorado. Brett worked closely with an innovative program called "Pass the Mic" in which youth interviewed residents to learn more about local industry and report on the Valley's values. Also on the call is Holli Andrews, executive director, Framingham Downtown Renaissance and former intern with Biddeford, Maine's Heart & Soul project where she helped develop a storytelling-based tour of downtown Biddeford that invited residents to record their stories at "HeartSpots" at key locations.
