Chris Trujillo holds places in his memory that he can no longer see with his eye. Places like the Montrose morada — a prayer house of the Penitente Brotherhood — where his father's wake was held, and which was for more than 30 years a touchstone of the northern Montrose neighborhood whose residents call it Tortilla Flats.Support the show: https://www.montrosepress.com/site/forms/subscription_services/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rob's life journey began in Adelaide growing up in an academic and musical family. He studied Agricultural Science and ended up in the Northern Territory in the mid 1960's working for the NT Government Department of Primary Industries at a research farm at Tortilla Flats, an hour or two South of Darwin.Whilst growing rice and working with buffaloes, Rob soon became involved in activism, in particular the Free East Timor movement. A cause that has seen him organising rallies and conferences in Darwin, supporting and saving refugees and organising boat loads of food and aid to East Timor. Now heading into his eighties, Rob has spent a lifetime of activism and a love of agricultural science. He is not afraid to call a spade a spade and does not suffer fools gladly. This is an epic story that only Rob Wesley Smith can tell. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Good morning and welcome to Montrose Fresh, from The Montrose Daily Press. It's MondayMarch 8th and we're here to bring you a closer look at our top stories, events and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado. Today - It's been nearly one year since a Montrose man was fatally shot by a Park Service ranger. Now, his mother is turning her mourning into a march for change. Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet. Whether it's for your home or your business they offer the best speeds at the best price. Right now, if you refer a friend you can get $25 off! Give them a call for more information at 844-386-8744 or visit them at elevateinternet.com Now, our feature story. Kimberly Beck finds herself where no mother wants to be — mourning the loss of a son. But in memory of Charles “Gage” Lorentz she is turning her mourning into a march for change. Gage was fatally shot by a National Park Service ranger at New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns on March 21st, 2020. Beck says that it's been almost a year and they still have no answers. Lorentz's family is hosting a peaceful march to advocate for change in police procedures and the legal shield of qualified immunity. The march is at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 13 — just one week shy of the anniversary of his death. March 21st last year, Lorentz was headed home to Montrose. He planned to stop at Carlsbad Caverns National Park to meet up with a friend. Park Ranger Robert Mitchell pulled him over for driving too fast through the Rattlesnake Springs area and reportedly striking a sign. The lawsuit against Mitchell and the Park Service stated that Mitchell almost immediately moved to arrest their son. It also stated that he escalated the use of force to beyond what was necessary. Body camera footage obtained by KOBTV shows Mitchell giving commands and Lorentz shaking his head “no”. He then appears to shift from foot to foot; and Mitchell tasers him and the camera cuts off for almost 30 seconds. When footage resumes, Lorentz is being shot twice, once in the chest. His family rejects the NPS assertion that the Taser had been ineffective and that Lorentz struggled with and struck Mitchell. They say their son did not provoke what happened; and that there was no need for a speeding contact to end in gunfire. They also say that the missing 26 seconds of body camera footage is highly suspect. Their federal complaint argues that Lorentz was not acting in a threatening manner. He was shot in the leg, and although that would have been enough to render him helpless, a second round was fired into his chest. Further, the suit alleges that no aid was rendered until almost 20 minutes after the shooting. The U.S. The Attorney's Office is representing the Park Service and Mitchell in the suit. Lorentz's loved ones have now spent a year without him, one filled with anger, emptiness and constant heartache, according to Beck. One of her goals is to raise awareness about her son. She also wants to prompt changes in law enforcement methods in a positive way. Community members are invited to attend next week's peaceful march in Lorentz's honor. For more information about the march, send a message through the “Justice for Gage Lorentz” Facebook page. And before we go we'd like to highlight some exciting news. The City of Montrose has been granted $25,000 from History Colorado to prepare a historic context survey. The survey will inform historic preservation efforts in Montrose's Tortilla Flats neighborhood. The project is an initiative of the City's Historic Preservation Commission. Tortilla Flats enjoys a rich history, and the city is interested in diving deeper to uncover the depth of it's story. The area was once home to a chapel established by Native Americans who had been enslaved in Mexico territory. The old Spanish trail ran through the Tortilla Flats, and it was also home to the oldest irrigation ditch in the Valley. According to the city's press release, the Tortilla Flats Neighborhood Photovoice Project, which was led by the Hispanic Affairs Project, served as inspiration for the city's Historic Preservation Commission to pursue this historic context survey project. HPC Chairman Jon Horn says that hopefully this will result in more recognition of the contributions of the residents of that neighborhood and the Hispanic community. The project is slated to begin in the summer. That's all for today, thank you for listening! For more information on any of these stories visit us at montrosepress.com.

Instead of chatting in a dusty old recording studio, the Boys try something a little different and go out into the world for some BOOTS ON THE GROUND reporting at a historic SATC location, the NYC restaurant Tortilla Flats. Tortilla Flats was an institution, located in NYC's West Village and frequented by Sarah Jessica Parker herself. This episode, recorded on the last night before Tortilla Flats permanently closed, is emotional and fun, and the Boys talk with Tortilla Flats patrons and staff. Definitely 5 Cosmo - or 5 Tortilla Flats Margaritas - worthy. Be sure to rate The Bradshaw Boys 5 stars on iTunes and we'll know you actually mean 5 Cosmos.

Lost Coast Brewery and Oysterpalooza are both featured on Brew Ha Ha today. Brandon from Rocker Oysterfeller's is here to promote Oysterpalooza and Jack Van Stone from Lost Coast Brewery has brought several of their beers. Lost Coast Brewery Lost Coast Brewery is located in downtown Eureka, California, on the northern California coast before you reach Oregon. The brewery started in 1989 so this is their 30th anniversary. People call the area the Lost Coast since it is not served by the 1 or the 101. The 1 joins the 101 at Leggett, 80 miles south of Eureka, leaving about 85 miles of the coast not served by a major highway. That makes it hard to reach but has kept it uncrowded. It is also pristine and gorgeous. Lost Coast Brewery's owners Barbara Groom and Wendy Pound were a Pharmacist and Family Therapist, respectively. They travelled northern Europe and learned brewing, then built this great enormous brewery. They also make cider now. Mark has known Lost Coast as one of the early independent craft brewers, since they started in 1989. Lost Coast Brewery makes a beer called Great White, which is their number one product. It’s very crisp, clean and drinkable, says Mark.Today, Lost Coast has added some IPAs to their production, because of their popularity. Mark knows a lot of the old brewers because a lot of them came by Anchor to visit Mark and see what they were doing there, back when there were only a few other brewers around. They taste a beer called Peanut Butter Chocolate Milk Stout. Herlinda says it’s not super sweet, Mark says because the sugars get fermented away. Steve finds it delicious but can only have a few sips. It’s genius but “not something I want to pound down,” says Mark. They did beer flavored like cupcakes, brownies and someone wants to do cheesecake. Steve asks, what’s the point? It’s definitely more of a niche. Herlinda remembers that “Belching Beaver Peanut Butter Milk Stout” was one of the original beers off this type. Jack says that the Summer is a great time to visit Eureka, the weather and the coast are spectacular. Lost Coast is available at Bottle Barn. Rocker Oysterfeller’s and Oysterpalooza Rocker Oysterfeller’s is located at 14415 Hwy One, Valley Ford, CA. They are putting on the annual Oysterpalooza, a music and food festival on Memorial Day weekend, in a few days. There will be music from The Texas II (who sound like Willie Nelson or Hank Williams), Black Sheep Brass Band and Arann Harris coming out of retirement just for Oysterpalooza. They also have a band called Van Goat that plays Swing Punk.It’s very energetic swing music with a lot of horns. Oysters of course are the primary focus. Herlinda describes it as being “...like an old fashioned fair, you can sit on hay bales, there is great music, there is space to roam around and meet people, the food is great and the scenery is beautiful." Speaking of big concert festivals, Bottlerock is also this weekend, in Napa. In addition to Rocker Oysterfeller's, they also have a Mexican restaurant called Tortilla Flats, named after the John Steinbeck book. They will make all the carnitas and salsa. They’ll also be doing deep fried oysters, which can be done in sandwiches or lettuce wraps. They taste an Oyster Stout, an old style. Mark explains that in England, before they really knew about the chemistry of beer, they tried putting oysters in the beer, which probably added nutrition for the yeast and would affect the taste too. Henhouse still makes an oyster stout. They had a beer called Indica Pale Ale before the TTB so the name is grandfathered in. Rocker Oysterfeller's has been open for 13 years. It is an antique hotel and the rooms are comfortable and homey. The restaurant is southern influenced and since they are in Valley Ford they are surrounded by oyster farms and dairy farms, so they use the local production on their menu.

We Couldn't Help But Wonder - A Journey Through Sex and the City
This one is all about babies. Charlotte and Trey are thinking about having one, Samantha is dating a guy who talks like one... Okay, so that's really all the baby stuff there is, but I suppose you could say that Carrie is a infant when it comes to email, and Miranda... No, I'm not going to try and think of a baby metaphor for Miranda's date. Plus we have an awkward double date at Tortilla Flats! (R.I.P.)
