BEK TV Unveils ‘Capturing America’s Heartland: CO2 Pipeline’, a Controversial Series Highlighting a Proposed Carbon Dioxide Pipeline’s Impact on Midwest America

BISMARCK, N.D., July 19, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
BEK TV has begun broadcasting a new series called “Capturing America’s Heartland: CO2 Pipeline.” The reports explore the concerns and benefits of a proposed high-pressure carbon dioxide pipeline that would be built in close proximity to residential North Dakota. New reports will be released every Wednesday and Friday and will re-run at various times throughout the week. All episodes can be viewed live online at bek.news/capturingamericasheartland, or in the archives. 

The CO2 pipeline has been the topic of controversy among residents and rural landowners across the Midwest, and particularly in North Dakota. It would transport carbon dioxide captured from ethanol plants in five Midwest states to an endpoint north and west of the Bismarck-Mandan area, in Oliver and Mercer counties.

“Earlier this year, I attended a meeting where legislators were present, and a young woman boldly walked up to the microphone and started asking questions about the CO2 pipeline,” says Lori Hinz, BEK TV host of “Capturing America’s Heartland: CO2 Pipeline” and “No Apologies.” “That moment sparked something in me. This is an issue with a lot of questions surrounding it, and I felt incredibly compelled to learn more about it and share what I learned.”

“Capturing America’s Heartland: CO2 Pipeline” invites experts on all sides of the issue to weigh in on a variety of concerns and benefits regarding building an unusually large pipeline so close to residents and property owners. From reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing technical, regulatory, and health and safety challenges, the series explores how the proposed route could affect the Heartland of America.

“My family and I live just miles away from the proposed pipeline route,” says Hinz. “This issue hits close to home for me.”

BEK TV is the only North Dakota-owned broadcasting company remaining in the state and produces more local content than any other television station. It broadcasts statewide on television and across the world via internet. BEK TV consists of content from both BEK Sports and BEK News.

BEK TV is the largest television broadcaster of high school and collegiate athletics in the region, broadcasting nearly 400 live events each year. The network also is the state’s top producer of original news and opinion programming. BEK TV is the 2021 and 2022 winner of the Bismarck Tribune’s Best of the Best contest, selected by the public for “Best Television Station.”

The concept behind BEK’s news programming is to provide a media service platform that is unscripted and uncensored. BEK TV hosts are untrained broadcasters who share their perspectives and views on topics and issues that North Dakotans are talking about. The BEK network never controls the messaging.

BEK TV broadcasts on television and across the world via the internet. For more information, log onto bek.tv and bek.news.

ATLANTA, July 19, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Kids Write Network’s “RISE for Mental Tour with Les Twins” (RMH) has received praise from educators, parents and students across North America during visits to schools, community centers and hospitals. The Kids Write Network (KWN) and world-renowned dancers Larry and Laurent Bourgeois, known as Les Twins, aim to raise awareness about mental health and improve access to treatment and services.

In November 2022, Les Twins collaborated with KWN to develop workshops for schools and received widespread attention, with over 500 schools seeking to host the RHM tour. Through the power of dance, Les Twins demonstrate how they use body movement to cope with mental struggles, promote empowerment and show resilience.

The U.S. leg of RMH will launch Oct. 16 in Atlanta at the end of the current world tour that features Les Twins and their breathtaking performances. KWN will also release its AI app, which helps users measure progress in their mental health journeys.

KWN is a scientifically developed and medically approved in-school program that combines positive psychology, neuroscience, literary and art disciplines and the KWN Scyibl six-step program to provide students the tools to understand and better communicate about their mental health. KWN has received recognition from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who recommends the KWN program to Canadian schools.

The ATL Year of the Youth initiative is the reason the U.S. debut of RMH will be in Atlanta. KWN, Les Twins and Atlanta want to ensure youth have all of the resources they need to thrive.

Atlanta is also home to music industry veteran and philanthropist Shanti Das’ nonprofit organization “Silence the Shame” (STS), dedicated to eliminating mental health stigma, and to reducing health disparities, and suicide rates among vulnerable populations. STS creates positive experiences, relationships, and environments, promoting positive youth development and empowering young people to prioritize their mental well-being. As an advocate for innovative solutions to engage in marginalized communities, STS is pleased to serve as an outreach partner for the RMH tour. “Mental health conditions are a public health issue in our community, and we are dedicated to offering tools to support good mental health for youth,” says Das. A live taping of the “Silence the Shame” podcast and KWN Les Twins demo is scheduled for Aug. 13, 2023.

Due to its dedication and commitment to leading independent schools in best practices around mental health, Atlanta’s Pace Academy is the first school on the RMH US tour. “Pace is thrilled to partner with Kids Write Network and Les Twins to support mental wellness, engage young people, and promote positivity, joy and art through this unique program. Mental health is a focus of Excellence in Every Endeavor, our school’s 2022-2027 strategic plan, and our community is honored to serve as the launch site for RISE for Mental Health’s U.S. tour,” states Fred Assaf, Head of School, Pace Academy.
