Dear Valued Readers,
Last week I urged you to slow down — even if for a moment here and there — to enjoy the relaxation and other benefits we can find during summer. As warm summer weather begins to beckon us, another wonderful thing about the season is the relaxation and fun that can be found while connecting with our community. Williston and the surrounding area come to life in summer providing us with opportunities to explore, support and cherish the events and businesses that make our community special.
This summer, embrace the outdoors and all it has to offer. Our local parks, beaches and trails are calling, urging us to bask in the sunshine, inhale the fresh air, and revel in the natural beauty that surrounds us. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, a picnic with loved ones, backyard BBQ, or an adventurous hike, these moments not only rejuvenate our spirits but also deepen our appreciation for the environment we often take for granted.
June begins to kick off an array of local events that showcase the heart and soul of our community. Attending these events isn’t just about having a good time — it’s about fostering unity and pride in our community. Every purchase, every smile and every conversation contributes to a thriving, interconnected community.
Our local businesses, the backbone of the local economy, need our support. By choosing to shop locally, dine at neighborhood restaurants and utilize local services, we directly contribute to the vitality of our local economy. These businesses are often owned by our friends, families and neighbors and our patronage helps them continue to provide the unique goods and services that define our community’s character.
Summer’s longer days and warmer nights set the stage for memorable experiences. Whether you’re relishing an ice cream cone, enjoying an outdoor concert or simply lounging in your backyard with a good book, these moments of joy and relaxation embody the essence of summer. They, too, remind us to slow down, savor life’s simple pleasures and cherish the time spent with loved ones.
So let’s make a conscious effort to support our local events and businesses. Let’s revel in the outdoors and the myriad opportunities for fun and relaxation that the season offers, right here in our own area. Together, we can create a summer brimming with community spirit, local pride and unforgettable memories.
Be sure to watch our pages for local press releases, articles, calendar events and even sales from our local businesses to make this a summer to remember.
So, here's to sipping lemonade from the corner stand and shopping till you drop at the mom-andpop shop down the street. Let's make this summer one for the local history books!

The Williston Music Intensive, founded by local singer-songwriter Alma Cook, is set for its second annual run from June 12-14 at New Hope Church. This three-day workshop is open to musicians and singers high school-aged and older, providing a unique opportunity for the Bakken’s music community to unite and learn from industry professionals.
Cook, a familiar face in Williston's music scene, created the Williston Music Intensive after noticing the lack of overlap among the town’s musicians. Performers from local churches, bars and high schools rarely had the chance to cross paths, much less jam out together. Cook, known for her "5000 Candles" music video that highlights the Williston oilfield landscape, saw an opportunity to bring these diverse groups together.
“I launched the Williston Music Intensive to create a space where worship teams, local bands and lone wolf musicians could hone their skills side by side,” says Cook. “It’s a chance for church folks to fellowship with musicians who haven't set foot in a church in years. Everybody gets to go a little out of their comfort zone in the name of building community and growing our talents."
Cook’s background in music is extensive and diverse. She started writing music in middle school and pursued a vocal major at Columbia College in Chicago. Her career took her from a job as a copy editor in Los Angeles, where she played shows and honed her craft, to Williston, where she found a

thriving music scene. Her experience in both cities inspired her to address the lack of collaborative opportunities in Williston by launching the Williston Music Intensive.
The primary goals of the Williston Music Intensive are twofold: to encourage networking among local musicians and to enhance their musical skills. Participants are grouped into bands based on their primary and secondary instruments to ensure balanced groups. These bands then play together under the guidance of professional instructors flown in from Los Angeles, all of whom have extensive experience working with major label top 40 artists.
The aim is to help participants successfully play in a band, regardless of their experience level. Instructors provide tips on how different instruments can complement each other and strategies for maintaining steady rhythms in slow songs, such as subdividing beats in one’s head to keep a steadier rhythm.
The work-
shop does not segregate participants by skill level, promoting a collaborative learning environment where novice musicians can learn from more experienced ones. It accommodates existing relationships among participants, such as a high school choir teacher who registered with her drummer son. This inclusive approach helps build a cohesive community of local talent. Participants also list their favorite artists, helping organizers group individuals with similar musical interests.
The event spans two half days and one full day, balancing getting-to-know-you activities, technical sessions and performance opportunities. The first day focuses on introductions and warming up, creating a welcoming environment for participants. The second day features sessions on listening, intonation and instrument-specific exercises. One of the workshop's highlights is the pub-
lic showcase on the final evening, June 14, at 6 p.m. at New Hope Church. This event gives participants the chance to perform in front of a crowd, demonstrating the new skills and repertoire they have developed over the three days. The showcase concert is also free and open to the public — a great opportunity for the community to support local talent.
Cook’s vision extends beyond just an annual workshop. She aims to create a vibrant, interconnected music community in Williston. New this year, the intensive has already expanded to include a youth open mic, Spotlight, which gives teens and twenty-somethings a safe place to experiment creatively and practice new material. Spotlight is an all-ages event and takes place on the fourth Friday of each month at the James Memorial Arts Center.
“Our region’s musicians desire artistic community, training resources and performance opportunities,” Cook explains. “Local players across town often haven’t met one another — we want to change that.”
The Williston Music Intensive is supported by local sponsors to be offered to the community free of charge. A videographer will document the event, and all information is available on willistonmusic.com. To register, visit www.willistonmusic.com.

WILLISTON — The June 11 primary election is fast approaching, and it’s crucial to be prepared. Whether planning to vote in person or via absentee ballot, here’s what you need to know:
From June 3 to June 10, absentee ballots will only be available from the Williams County Auditor’s Office counter. Remember, absentee ballots must be returned by 5 p.m. central time on June 10 to the Auditor’s Office counter or to a secure drop box. If returning your absentee ballot via mail, ensure it is postmarked on or before June 10.
Come election day, June 11, polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eligible voters in Williams County can cast their votes at various locations, including a vote center – Williston ARC or the UMVF Fairgrounds — as well as precinct-specific polling locations like Grenora City Hall, Ray City Hall,
Tioga Community Center and Wildrose City/Fire Hall.
It’s important to remember some key points about the ballot:
• In a political party primary election, you may only vote for the candidates of one political party.
• The primary election is the only time you can vote for city-level representation; these races will not be on the general election ballot.
• Several local measures are on the ballot, along with one Initiated Constitutional Measure.
For more detailed information about the primary election and to view a sample ballot, visit the City of Williston or Williams County Elections websites. This primary election is a vital opportunity to have your voice heard and shape the future of our community. Make sure to mark your calendar and participate in this important democratic process on June 11.
EPPING, ND – Lewis and Clark State Park invites the public to celebrate its 50th anniversary with a fun-filled day of activities on June 8.
The park has served as an outdoor haven in northwest North Dakota for recreation, education, and family fun for half a century, and with the generosity from its community, the park has planned a variety of events for all ages to enjoy.
The day will kick-off with a dog jog at the dog park, featuring prizes for the bestdressed dog, waggiest dog, and more. At 10 a.m. children are invited to delve into the life of an archaeologist with a dinosaur dig in the sand at our swim area.
Visitors can visit food vendors throughout the day, and park staff will be serving hotdogs at noon at Elk Point Shelter near the Jump-'n-Fun inflatables. Other attractions include lawn games such as horseshoes, Connect 4, and a bean bag toss.
Musical entertainment begins at 3 p.m. with the Mooncats, followed by Josie and the Whalers.
Williams County and the City of Wil-
liston’s Convention and Visitors Bureau contributed generous monetary contributions to help the park bring unique and memorable events to its visitors throughout the year to celebrate the park’s 50th anniversary celebration. Additionally, many local businesses have given monetarily or with supplies and volunteerism.
“We are grateful and excited to share in the celebration of our 50th anniversary,” said Lewis and Clark State Park Manager, Katie Ogden. “We are eager for our visitors to join us as we commemorate this milestone while they make lasting memories with family and friends.”
Visitors can further enhance their experience at the park with a hike along the Coteau trail with its new boardwalk for an up-close look at wetland animals, or make use of convenient on-site rental equipment, including kayaks, canoes and paddle boards.
For more information about Lewis and Clark State Park and the 50th anniversary events, follow the park on social media at www.facebook.com/prdlcsp.

NORTH DAKOTA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
BISMARCK, ND – The North Dakota Public Service Commission will hold a public hearing on June 17 regarding a proposal to construct two natural gas to liquid hydrocarbon energy conversion facilities, each with an associated 100 MW steam powered electric energy conversion facility, in Williams County.
Cerilon GTL ND, Inc., is requesting a siting permit for the construction of the Cerilon GTL North Dakota Project, which includes two gas-to-liquid facilities on a single site and includes electric power generation as a secondary benefit from excess steam generation. Each GTL facility will be able to convert 240 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas to 24,000 barrels per day of liquid hydrocarbon products. The process of converting natural gas to liquids produces heat energy that will be recovered to the extent practicable through several steam-generating heat exchangers. Cerilon intends to use this steam to generate electric energy via two steam turbines and generators per facility. These turbines and generators will be capable of meeting the electrical demand of that facility during normal operations, with excess power sold to the grid.
The project is planned to be built in two phases with the estimated cost of phase one at $3.2 billion and phase two expected to be comparable.
The project site is approximately 1.5
miles southwest of Trenton, five miles northeast of Buford and 7.5 miles southwest of the city limits of Williston.
Details for the public hearing are as follows:
• Monday, June 17, 2024 – 9 a.m. Central
• The Grand Williston Hotel & Conference Center
• 3601 2nd Ave West
• Williston, ND 58801
The hearing provides an opportunity for members of the public to contribute to the PSC’s official record. Any comments from members of the public must be received at the hearing to be part of the record. People with concerns, questions or support/opposition for the project are encouraged to attend the hearing and present their information. Information received after the hearing will not be part of the official record and cannot be used as a basis for the Commission’s decision unless certain additional procedures are followed.
The North Dakota Public Service Commission is a constitutionally created state agency with authority to permit, site and regulate certain business activities in the state including electric and gas utilities, telecommunications companies, power plants, electric transmission lines, pipelines, railroads, commercial weighing devices, pipeline safety and coal mine reclamation.

Picnics, get-togethers and tailgating are great times to hang out, enjoy the weather and grill some delicious food. Following these safety tips will help ensure that your family and friends have a safe and enjoyable experience as well. When done right, grilling can be one of the more healthful ways to prepare food. Preparing meats and poultry on the grill allows excess fat to drip away. Very little fat needs to be added to foods cooked on the grill.
From store to grill
At the grocery store, wait until right before you check out to pick out your cold items such as meat and poultry. Be sure to separate meat and poultry from the other items in your cart, especially fresh fruits and vegetables. Use the plastic bags provided in the meat and produce sections to help prevent cross-contamination, which can happen when raw meat drips onto other foods. Keep all cold foods together, or bring a cooler to transport cold items. Perishable food should be refrigerated within two hours. Once at home, place meat and poultry in a refrigerator below 40 F immediately. Store raw meat in a container on the lowest shelf so it won’t drip onto oth-
er food. If you don’t plan to use the meat within two days, freeze it below 0 F.
Prepping
If you plan to marinate the meat, do so in the fridge, not the counter because this allows bacteria growth. Meat can safely marinate for two days in the fridge. If you need to thaw the meat, use the fridge or place sealed packages in cold water. Only use the microwave to defrost meat if it is going to be cooked right away. When prepping, be sure to have clean hands and clean any food contact areas before, during, and after food preparation. And don’t forget the grill too! Grills need annual deep cleaning, but should also be cleaned and free of debris each time you use it. If you are prepping a side dish, remember to separate to prevent foodborne illness. Raw meat and poultry should be prepared separately from fruit, vegetables and cooked foods. When you cut up meats and vegetables, be sure to use different cutting boards and knives (or wash thoroughly with soap and warm water in between uses). And don’t use the same plate/tray or utensils for the raw meat before the grill and the cooked meat coming off the grill.
Grilling
Pick a safe area where the grill can be well-ventilated and on a flat surface away from overhangs. Never leave a grill unattended and keep children and pets away from hot grills. Keeping water or an extinguisher nearby is a good idea also. When cooking, be sure to use long-handled utensils and flame-retardant mitts to protect your hands. Don’t count on color to know that meat is done. Cooking food to the minimum internal temperature can reduce the risk of foodborne illness greatly.
Lastly, enjoy it! Savor your safely prepped and grilled meal, enjoy the outdoors (while the weather is good!), relish in the company of family and friends. And don’t forget to refrigerate any leftovers in less than two hours, you don’t want all that hard work to go to waste!

This is an ongoing series. The Society of the Strange and Peculiar is an analog horror serial about the fictional town of Rickford, ND and the events that transpired there.
April 10, 2022. Day 3.
Sleeping on the ground hasn’t done a thing for my back… Correction, it hasn’t done anything beneficial. Staring out across the massive green and endless prairie beyond, I started to wonder how there could possibly have been a town here less than fifty years ago. I’ll venture out and see what, if anything I can find.
***
To anyone who has the misfortune of attempting to decipher this, my sincerest apologies. My hands reverberate like an earthquake as I write but if I do not put down all that happened earlier today. I fear that I will surely convince myself that I conjured at least some of today’s events in my mind.
As I made my way into the village green, I felt something tugging on my usual sense of optimism. How could this possibly be
Rickford? That sense of dread pessimism was shortly confronted by inexplicable findings. First, I came across a small pile of bricks all scattered around the beginnings of a brick wall. The stacked and mortared clay blocks stood halfway up my shin and stood at a right angle. Doubtless this was the only reason it had stayed upright. A little way up the road, or what would have been the road,
approximately thirty paces north, I found a sign with faded yellow lettering saying Fran’s across a pail blue background. It seemed clear that something had been here at one time or another, but how an entire village could have disappeared in such a short time, I shutter thinking. I walked to the end of the block and found what could only be considered genuine proof of my
growing suspicions. Tripping on something that had been completely enveloped in the wild grass. I skinned my hands on impact but suffered no greater injury than bruised pride (and a scuff on my favorite boots.) I pulled at the countless strands of brush that had wrapped around the unseen object until no foliage remained. It was the remnants of a stone pathway. What's more it appeared as a corner part of an intersection.
I stood on the newly exposed corner turning in small circles looking for some piece of evidence that could shed a light on what I had found when a piece of paper caught my eye. It fluttered in the ever-blowing wind, flapping wildly but never moving from its place at eye level. I approached, treading carefully to avoid any other secret tripping hazard. When I reached the floating page, I stood marveling. It flailed as if it had been closed into the frame of some unseen door. I reached out and gave it a tentative pull. Despite my gentle tug the page tore along the point that seemed to hold it in place.
I staggered and fell as an unrelenting gust swelled as if from nowhere. The world spun before my eyes, blurring and waving like a reflection over rippling water. It took my vision a moment to clear, but I knew something was wrong as I pushed myself back to my feet and felt the hard pavement pushing back against my hands.
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, Hackberry and Elm trees.
WEEK 5 - MAPLE:
The genus of maple is home to MANY trees. A highly diverse Genus, but among my favorite varieties of maple are those found in the group known as “Norway Maple”. The Norway Maple, or Acer platanoides have large green leaves that are trilobed. Closely resembling the famous Sugar maple, these leaves are tough and leathery. In addition to their tough foliage, one of the things I appreciate about Norway Maple are their nice “opposite” branching, a common characteristic of maple in general. The Norway Maple tends to spread out quickly in its habit and wait to get taller until later in life. This can be an attractive choice if shade is desired sooner. While items in the maple Genus can struggle with nutrient deficiencies in our region the growth rate of the Norway is generally slow enough that chlorosis doesn’t appear as often in this Maple specie. Norway maple are a medium tree, with heights between 35 and 45 feet tall and widths of between 30 and 40 feet.
