Dear Valued Readers,
Summer is upon us! We may not have hit the official “first day of summer,” but with so many counting the days by the schedule of the school year, I think we can safely say we’re all in the summer frame of mind.
For many, summer is a time of relaxation. But for others it can be even busier than the rest of the year. Summer sports, travel and vacations (which are not always relaxing,) outdoor projects and more can make the summer fly past in the blink of an eye. September may hit and you’re left feeling like you’ve run a marathon.
This is just my friendly reminder to slow down — even if it's just for a bit. Maybe it comes as I find myself in the middle ages of my life, but taking a few moments for myself has become more of a priority, even if it is just literally a moment. I sit drinking my morning coffee listening to the sounds of the birds, watching them at the feeder; the hummingbirds visiting the flowers I planted just for them; walking barefoot through our garden for just a few minutes to pick a couple of weeds if I don’t have a lot of time to spend. It’s still worth it for the grounding it provides; sitting with my eyes closed as the sun radiates in the morning, bathing my body and soul with sunshine. It’s a lot of the little things I’ve talked about here and in the lifestyle articles I’ve written in the past.
But you don’t have to take my word for it (sorry, LeVar Burton just lives in my head!) All these little things have scientific evidence proving the benefits they provide. Seatherny, the feeling of serenity one feels when listening to bird sounds, has been linked to lower stress levels, reduced anxiety and increased relaxation. Walking barefoot in grass or dirt has also been shown to reduce stress, boost immunity, improve sleep, reduce inflammation and enhance circulation. As I’ve discussed before, getting the early morning sun can, again, help reduce stress and anxiety, and helps with sleep by resetting your circadian rhythm.
We can’t all afford to while away the summer the way we wish we could, but if we can carve out just a few minutes here and there, we might all be able to enjoy those moments of summer and feel a little more refreshed and relaxed.
Wishing you moments of basking in the sunshine and rolling in the dirt — the way your favorite pet does, Kary Moltzan

WILLISTON — Readers of all ages are invited to come together this summer as the Williston Community Library kicks off their annual summer reading program.
This year’s theme OF “Adventure Begins At Your Library,” encourages readers of all ages to find fun and adventure in reading. Families are invited to join the Summer Reading Kickoff Bash on June 5 from 4-7 p.m.
Beginning at 4 p.m., the library will have a bubble machine, face painting with Natasha’s Canvas, putt-putt mini golf on the lawn and Jer Bear’s Sno Shack, with magician Jeff Quinn from 6-7 p.m.
The 2024 Summer Reading Program is free and open to the community, and all ages are welcome, with programs for youth, teens, tweens and adults. The Library is partnering with local entities including the Boy Scouts, Lewis & Clark State Park, Williams County and others to bring the com-
munity together through stories, games and activities. These all-ages activities include programs, prize drawings, story times, special events and more.
"Sometimes kids get into the 'summer slide' where they lose some of that knowledge they gained over the school year,” said Children’s Librarian Morgan Keyser. “Participating in the Summer Reading Program is a way to prevent that slide from happening and keep them learning throughout the summer. We hope these programs and activities will engage them and let them learn while still having fun."
Registration for “Adventure Begins At Your Library” is open now. Register before the Bash to save time and skip the line. For more information, call the library at 701774-8805 or visit our website, www.willistonndlibrary.com.

NORTH DAKOTA — North Dakota voters will decide on June 11 whether to implement an age limit for state and some federal office holders. If approved, individuals aged 81 or older by December 31 of the year prior to the end of their term would be ineligible to run for statewide office, though this restriction would not apply to presidential candidates.
This measure, which would make North Dakota the first state to set such age limits, has raised concerns about potential legal challenges. Secretary of State Michael Howe warned that defending the measure in court could cost the state at least $1 million, citing the 1995 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in U.S. Term Limits, Inc. vs. Thornton, which prohibits states from imposing additional qualifications on federal office holders.
In addition to the age limit measure, North Dakota voters will select the Republican nominee for governor. With Gov. Doug Burgum not seeking another term, he has endorsed his lieutenant governor, Tammy Miller. The North Dakota Republican Party has endorsed U.S. Rep. Kelly Armstrong, who is leaving Congress to run for governor. The primary winner will face Democratic state Sen. Merrill Piepkorn in November. For the lieutenant governor race, Republican candidates Rep. Michelle Strinden and Secretary of Commerce Josh Teigen are competing, while Patrick Hart is the sole Democrat running. Absentee and mail-in voting are already underway, with ballots due by June 10.
Adapted from "Is 81 too old for public office? North Dakota voters will decide June 11," by Kim Jarrett, The Center Square. View the original article by scanning the QR Code.
NORTH DAKOTA — North Dakota has not managed to substantially reverse its rate of workplace fatalities. An annual report puts the state in the top five in the category.
The findings, from the national arm of the AFL-CIO, show more than 5,000 people were killed on the job in the U.S. in 2022, and it ranks North Dakota second in the nation for the highest worker death rate.
Landis Larson, president of the North Dakota AFL-CIO, feels the state is not seeing much improvement compared to past reports. The authors said the Biden administration has stepped up safety enforcement but Occupational Safety and Health Administration resources are still low.
Larson emphasized the lack of help is felt locally.
"North Dakota does not have its own state OSHA program, so they rely on the federal government," Larson pointed out.
"We only have seven inspectors in the state. "
In addition to boosting federal resources, Larson would like to see North Dakota overhaul policy to the way for more legal action against employers failing to prioritize safety. In a statement, the state's labor commissioner said worker deaths are lower than a decade ago and his team is committed to working with partner agencies to safeguard workers.
Larson also called on workers themselves to take action if they observe dangerous conditions on the job.
"If you have a safety issue, then you call OSHA," Larson urged. "If you give them your name, you will be protected by OSHA and that will actually spur an investigation into your workplace."
Meanwhile, agriculture and mining, oil and gas extraction topped the national list for industries with the highest fatality rates, as well as being the major drivers of North Dakota's economy.
There has been an ever-increasing awareness of mental health in the workplace. Have you been aware of some of the workplace trends that gained momentum in the past few years? You’ve probably heard several new buzzwords that keep popping up in every industry, such as work-life balance, flexibility, burnout, setting boundaries and even “quiet quitting.” These trends have been indicated by an increase in job turnover that is due to a workforce that is so stressed out that people are emotionally and/or physically worn out. But what does it all mean and what can you do to better manage your own wellness in the workplace?
How do you know if you are in “burnout”? Here are some signs and symptoms of job burnout. Ask yourself: Do you have to drag yourself to work and have trouble getting started? Do you lack energy to do your job well? Is it hard to focus on your job? Have you lost patience with co-workers or customers? Do you feel little satisfaction from what you get done?
Other indicators can be feeling drained, sad, irritable or depressed. These feelings can lead to feelings of hopelessness that can lead to a physical illness by impairing the immune system and/or increasing the chances of heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. No one wants to keep working in a place that creates all of these
symptoms of burnout.
The good news is that the increasing awareness of mental health has driven a need to identify the problems. This drive has in turn led to an improved understanding of the causes and the creation of new resources. To find the right resource, first you must identify your source of stress and frustration at work. Here are some possible causes:
Lack of control. Not having a say in how you do your job, such as your schedule, assignments or workload, can lead to job burnout. Not having what you need to do your work also can add to burnout.
Lack of clarity about what's expected of you. If you're not sure what your boss or others want from you, you're not likely to feel like you're doing a good job. Conflicts with others. Maybe you work with an office bully. Or you feel that coworkers are against you. Or your boss is too involved with your work. These conflicts can add to job stress.
Too much or too little to do. Maybe your job is boring. Or it's so busy you can't keep up with the demands. In these situations, you need a lot of energy to stay focused. This can lead to fatigue and job burnout.
Lack of support. If you feel alone at work and in your personal life, you might feel more stressed.
Problems with work-life balance. Problems with work-life balance. Maybe your work takes up so much of your time and energy that you have nothing left for family and friends. This lack of balance can lead to job burnout.
After identifying the source(s) of stress, look at your options for improvement. Try talking to your boss about your concerns and brainstorm ways to solve the problems. Seek support from co-workers, friends or loved ones because talking can help you cope and feeling like you belong protects against burnout. Try doing a relaxing activity or get exercise to relieve some tension. Practice mindfulness and be aware of what is going on inside of you so that you can set realistic goals. You can also reduce conflict through professional developments and team building. Have you heard of Real Colors or Generations in the Workplace? These are great lessons that improve understanding and communication among co-workers. Contact me to set this up or to get more information. There are many free, new resources that have been made available to our community to help with mental health. The Upper Missouri District Health Unit has an online resource called “Credible Mind” that allows people to do a self assessment of their mental health, topics and insights to learn more and lists of commu-

April 9th, 2022. Day 2.
Swung by the local you-drive and picked up a rental for the time being. After driving approximately #s miles north and # miles west, I stumbled along a two-track leading up and over, what I believe the locals call a “Prairie Pothole.” The only identifier of the trail was a mutilated moose carcass that buzzards enjoyed as a buffet.
At the base of the kettle, the track was washed out from melted snow. I feared the small, front wheel drive icebox the renter talked me into would find an early grave in
the soft mud. Thankfully, yesterday’s luck held out, and I dragged up the trail. Cresting the hill, I white knuckled the steering wheel as I plummeted down the steep backside. But, as any brave adventurer knows, the quest must go on (and always get the best
insurance package!)
My journey ended abruptly as the dirt path turned to a grassy field that was outlined by dead underbrush. As if to punctuate my isolation, a tumbleweed rolled by. The brush went out approximately five hundred feet on each side of the road, creating a large square. Possibly the village green?
First on my to-do list was to set up my tent. I’m glad Investigator Hanson recommended doubling my tent peg count. Even with two stakes to a loop, I’m worried I’ll return to home base to find my tent has danced away with the wind. My back is barking, like a dog standing down the postman, after digging a small fire pit and latrine.
After observing the aerials of the area back in Minneapolis, I believe we’ve found the large prairie pothole that was Witch Lake. Jo Michaels, in all her geological geniusness, says it has the telltale signs of a local watering hole that has evaporated. Once I am fully settled in, I will make the three mile trek over the plains. As for today, I will stick to the immediate area.
P.S. Walking around the green, there are slight variations (a maximum of two inches high but at times less than one) in the landscape. Underneath parts of the mounds, I found some rotted wood, small pieces of worked clay, shards of bone, and a blue copper soap dish. The unnerving part was these discoveries were at seemingly random locations. Digging through some raised earth, I found only dirt. Elsewhere, it would be a pile of small skeletal fragments which don’t appear human; each fragment having a strange turbulent texture. Instead of a smooth surface, they were bumpy and rough, like an outcropping of a rock. The copper soap dish, if I’m remembering my history right, appears to be of a late 19th century make.
P.S.S. At nightfall, a prairie dog approached the outskirts of the foliage and would not stop barking at me. While cute at first, I had to chase it back down its hole to find some tranquility. Hopefully, my new neighbors won’t drive me mad during the investigation.
Just this past week, the movie “IF” starring Ryan Reynolds happened to come out the same weekend as the Church festival of Pentecost. I thought it was kind of clever on its face, since IF stands for “Imaginary Friend” while Pentecost is the celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit to those first disciples. Even a casual observer of previews would gather that the movie’s plot is a lament for adults who have lost the ability to “see” their imaginary friends who earlier in life not only contributed a form of companionship, but also confidence and inspiration toward one’s giftedness and happiness in life. One might want to draw parallels to the “unseen” yet inspiring nature of the Third member of
the Trinity—perhaps even going so far as to suggest that the Imaginary Friend phenomenon is simply a secularization of something spiritualists and mystics in the Church have been proclaiming for centuries.
That’s the kind of theological equations that I’ve been drawing for most of my career in ministry. I’ve generally called it the use of the modern metaphor, but many now simply call it Geek ministry. It’s been highly on my mind the past few weeks in planning a Vacation Bible School based on DC and Marvel Superheroes the first week in June because two of my colleagues in this endeavor are coming to help out. Louis Small Jr. who is a professional comic book artist and who has drawn for both Marvel and DC has helped me put on Comicons previously is coming to help out. And fellow Pastor Hector Miray who has a whole series of books, podcasts, and media called Faith and Fandom (and has
spoken at the big Comic Con in San Diego) is coming to be the Bible Study leader. But all this really gelled in my thoughts as I’ve had conversation after conversation the past few weeks about the way the Geeky worlds of superheroes, Star Wars, and the like rarely push people apart, but rather pull people together with a common, shared starting point for sharing everything from opinions to the Gospel message itself.
That’s why I think “IF” really should have been “IE.” Because, I don’t think people today so much have “imaginary friends” as much as they have “imaginary enemies.” Rather than having an imaginary rabbit named Harvey helping someone out, folks are much more likely to imagine that anyone who is on the other side of whatever line they might want to draw (racial, political, socio-economic) is my enemy. And trust me, if you want something imaginary about hu-
manity in God’s eyes, those are it! Just check out one of my favorite verses in Galatians 3:28. Paul nails it when he throws all those divisions out to simply declare us as ONE.
So, if you’re tired of hate-speech and divisiveness, you might want to look with a different perspective. One that can find God’s Spirit prompting a message in the most common of means in the least dividing ways possible. And if you just look with a bit of an open heart and mind you too might find a Geek viewfinder. Afterall, the main complaint about all that Geeky culture is that they are not looking at this world but at other worlds beyond. And maybe, that’s just what we need to do to see God’s Kingdom in our future as well as walking right beside us!

Agriculture and energy are the cornerstones of North Dakota’s economy. Not only do we feed and fuel the world, but we also provide thousands of good jobs and billions in federal, state, and local tax revenue. Those taxes paid fund schools, roads, flood protection, and social services across our great state. Virtually every corner of the state and every person living in North Dakota benefits from agriculture and energy production.
The food and energy we produce are also among the cleanest, most environmentally friendly of any in the world. We take pride in being good stewards of the land and air. And we are in it for the long haul. If allowed, we will provide low-cost food and fuel to North Dakota and beyond for generations to come.
Unfortunately, our state’s leading economic engines are under relentless attack by the federal government and radical environmentalists. Through regulation, fiscal policy and punitive taxation, Washington is throttling our ability to provide energy
and food security to America. To help hold these forces at bay and roll back the most serious threats to our very existence, we need to send a proven fighter to Congress. But not just any fighter, but rather, we need someone who wins the fight.
Our state only gets one voice in the United States House of Representatives. We need someone who can work with others… who can build coalitions with a common
goal…who understands our industries and how to successfully reign in this unfair and unwise onslaught on our key industries.
Most importantly, we need someone who can and will win. We need Julie Fedorchak as our next representative in the U.S. House.
Julie has a 20-year record of excellence in public service. She is a lifelong resident of North Dakota. She understands what we need in Washington and how to deliver for North Dakota. For example:
When the federal government wanted to impose crippling cap and trade policies, Julie was at the front line fighting for all of us.
When federal regulators tried to forcefeed us their radical environmental agenda, Julie was there to stand tall for agriculture and energy producers.
In recognition of her achievements, Julie was recently elected President of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners.
Under her leadership, North Dakota:
• enjoys the lowest utility rates in the nation.
• permitted $15 billion worth of projects creating tens of thousands of jobs.
• implemented a state rail safety program that dramatically reduced rail
accidents.
• created innovative ways to connect rural areas to natural gas service.
• enhanced the state pipeline reclamation program.
Time and time again, Julie has proven herself to be the person who can get things done. In fact, Julie Fedorchak is the only candidate for the US House who has been actively engaged in fighting for our energy and ag sectors. She can be trusted to do the right thing. And she will work tirelessly in the best interest of all North Dakotans.
That’s why the agriculture and energy industries support Julie Fedorchak for Congress. Our farmers, ranchers, coal miners, power plant operators, and the oil and gas industry understand the importance of having a strong voice advocating for them in Washington DC. Without energy security, we do not have food security, economic security, or national security.
Please join us in voting for Julie Fedorchak for Congress.
Signed,

Few things add to the aesthetic of an outdoor environment more than trees. Trees offer numerous benefits to us and to the landscape. Unfortunately in the climates of the Western Dakotas and Eastern Montana, we do not receive enough annual rainfall to support tree life natively. The annual rainfall needed to support tree life naturally is around 35 inches of annual precipitation. Here in Western ND, we come up short of that number by over half! That coupled with some of our soil challenges, it is no wonder we struggle with trees in our region. From the benefits of producing oxygen that we breathe to the shade and cooling that they provide to the privacy and wind protection, there are many reasons for planting trees. In this five part series, I’ll give you a few of my favorite “Shade Tree” choices for our region. We've previously discussed Honeylocust, Linden, and Hackberry trees. WEEK 4 - ELM:
The fear of Dutch Elm Disease has long kept people away from the idea of planting this tree. But no longer. Numerous breeding programs have now released several varieties of American Elm cultivars that boast a total resistance to Dutch Elm Disease. From hybrid varieties like Accolade all the way to the pure “American Elm” cultivar Valley Forge there are many elms to choose from. I’m partial, of course, to the Prairie Expedition which is an NDSU introduction. There are many attributes to appreciate about Elm. With a moderate to fast growth rate, the American Elm can grow between 3 and 4 feet per year. At maturity, the American Elm can be between 50 feet and 60 feet in height and between 30 feet and 40 feet wide. The dark leathery green leaves have a serrated, saw-toothed edge to them. The American Elm turns a rich gold in the fall.
Be sure to check back next week for my next recommended "Shade Tree" for the Dakotas and Montana.

I’m a 61-year-old single mother and Mamaw, hailing from Bossier City, Louisiana. I relocated to Williston, North Dakota in 2020, where I live with my children, granddaughter, and ve fur babies. Back home, I was actively involved in school systems while my daughter was in school. Now, I’m committed to making a di erence in my granddaughter’s schools.
If elected, my goal over the next four years is to prioritize education and strive to “Make Education Great Again.” Our children represent the future, and I’m dedicated to improving academic performance and restoring community con dence in our public education system.
Cementing experience preferred, but willing to train the right candidate. Require a commercial driver’s license (CDL) with a clean driving record. Experience with Well Servicing and/or Drilling Rigs.
