Editor’s note: This represents the opinion of The Denver Post editorial board , which is separate from the paper’s news operation. Read more endorsements here Diane Mitsch Bush has served Western Colorado honorably over the past 17 years, beginning her political career as a commissioner in Routt County before getting elected to the state House representing Routt and Eagle counties in 2013. As a state lawmaker, Mitsch Bush pursued bipartisan solutions to nonpartisan problems. She’s a Democrat who often appeared on bills with Republicans, and it’s little wonder why when her background is rooted so heavily as an academic pursuing good public policy solutions to the most pervasive problems of our times.

More than 2 million miles of natural gas pipelines run throughout the United States. In Appalachia, they spread like spaghetti across the region. Many of these lines were built in just the past five years to carry natural gas from the Marcellus Shale region of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, where hydraulic fracturing has boomed. West Virginia alone has seen a fourfold increase in natural gas production in the past decade. Such fast growth has also brought hundreds of safety and environmental violations, particularly under the Trump administration’s reduced oversight and streamlined approvals for pipeline projects. While energy companies promise economic benefits for depressed regions, pipeline projects are upending the lives of people in their paths. As a technical and professional communication scholar focused on how rural communities deal with complex problems and a geography scholar specializing in human-environment interactions, we teamed up to study … [Read more...] about Guest Commentary: Natural gas pipelines induce fear, anxiety and loss in Appalachia

By David Tanis , The New York Times We all love a one-pot meal, especially these (pandemic) days, when home cooking is a given, all day, every day. But for a special occasion, like Valentine’s Day, or perhaps when you’re just craving something a bit fancier, consider this more complex menu. I would call it restaurant-level, but eminently doable for the home cook. The key is organization: doing the work in stages and getting ahead on the prep. This is not a menu to accomplish in one session. Dedicate a little time to it over the course of two days — or more, if you prefer — and it will be very easy to pull off. The recipes are meant for a table of four to six, for a family or quarantine pod celebration. But they are quite simple to scale down for two. For a first course, a savory mushroom tart is elegant and impressive. A quickly homemade puff pastry (prepared a day or two in advance) is spread with a thin layer of crème fraîche, then topped with sautéed mushrooms and … [Read more...] about This Valentine’s Day, make a restaurant-worthy spread at home
