From the Designer: This Issue

Dear Valued Readers,

I often go a little deeper and thought provoking with these little messages, but this week, I’m going to keep things lighter and remind you to do something some of us put off for far too long: cleaning our car interiors!

Now is the perfect time to give your vehicle's interior a good cleaning! It's not too hot yet, so it's the ideal opportunity to refresh your car and make it feel like new again. Let's get rid of all the clutter that's been accumulating over the winter months — those extra coats, sweatshirts, hats and gloves can finally go back into storage.

First things first, start by clearing out all the trash and unnecessary items. It’s amazing how quickly things pile up, especially when it's cold outside, and we’re more inclined to leave things behind as we scurry inside. Sort through everything and only keep what you truly need in your car.

Once the clutter is gone, it's time to vacuum. A handheld vacuum or one with attachments can work wonders for getting into all the nooks and crannies. Don’t forget to slide the seats forward and back to reach every corner. If you have fabric seats, consider using a brush attachment to loosen dirt before vacuuming.

For cleaning hard surfaces, a multi-surface cleaner is your best friend. You can use store-bought options or make your own with a mixture of water and a few drops of dish soap. Spray a small amount onto a microfiber cloth and wipe down the dashboard, console, and door panels. Be gentle on touchscreens and use a cleaner designed for electronics to avoid damage, and be sure to get those cup holders — many of them have removable liners for easier cleaning.

Don’t forget the windows! A good glass cleaner will help remove any smudges and leave them sparkling clean. The inside of windshields can really build up with residue, especially after a winter of defrost. Lastly, consider adding a car air freshener to keep things smelling fresh.

Happy cleaning, and enjoy the satisfaction of a clutter-free, sparkling car interior!

First Lutheran Church provided a memorable week for kids with Sidekicks VBS

WILLISTON GRAPHIC STAFF

news@vocella.com

The Sidekicks Vacation Bible School event, hosted by First Lutheran Church in Williston, was a success, bringing together about 70 children for a unique blend of fun, faith and fandom. This year's program was designed and led by Pastor Zach Harris, whose passion for creating engaging and thought-provoking experiences for the youth was evident throughout the week’s activities.

Pastor Harris has always been dedicated to finding innovative ways to connect with young people. His vision for Sidekicks VBS was to provide a fresh perspective on faith, weaving together elements from popular media and storytelling to illuminate deeper

spiritual truths. This creative approach was complemented by the inclusion of special guests who shared their own journeys and insights.

One of the notable guests was Hector Miray, a pastor from North Carolina known for his enthusiasm for storytelling and geek culture. A former screenwriter for Clevver Movies and Screen Junkies, Miray is also the author of "10 Things I Learned From Sucking At Student Ministry" and the primary writer behind the "Faith & Fandom" book series. He co-hosts the Pull List Podcast for Love Thy Nerd and is a familiar face at comic conventions across the country. Miray’s unique blend of faith and fandom resonated deeply with the attendees, as he shared his

passion for stories and how they reflect the larger narrative of faith and life.

Joining Miray was Louis Small Jr., a professional comic book artist from Tinton Falls, N.J. Contrary to the typical perceptions of New Jersey, Small hails from a lush, green area near the Jersey Shore. His impressive career includes work for major publishers like Marvel and DC Comics, as well as numerous independent projects. Currently, he is involved with Utterly Ridiculous Productions. Small moved to Wilson, N.C. in 2002 to care for his elderly parents and has since become an integral part of the local arts community, teaching comic and

cartoon art, as well as portraiture.

The presence of the two guests was a highlight of the Sidekicks VBS. Their presentations and workshops offered the children a rare opportunity to interact with professionals in the fields of storytelling and art, broadening their horizons and inspiring their imaginations. The event was made possible through the dedication of a remarkable team of volunteers who managed activities and ensured everything ran smoothly.

Chamber brings fourth annual Farm to Table Dinner to the field

WILLISTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

WILLISTON — The Western Star Foundation, an organization of the Williston Area Chamber of Commerce, is excited to announce that the Agriculture Committee will host the fourth annual Farm to Table Dinner on a local farm on June 19. The backdrop of the locally sourced meal will feature the Ellis family land near Springbrook Dam.

Along with the true farm experience, guests will enjoy a keynote address from Michelle Miller, also known as “Farm Babe,” a drone demonstration from TraindND-NW and a meal prepared by Doc Holliday’s Roadhouse sourced from producers and suppliers from North Dakota, most from right here in the Williston and the northwest North Dakota region.

Some highlights will include the debut of a brand new beer from Busted Knuckle Brewery and a charcuterie board prepared by Cooks on Main with locally produced

bison sausage from Pesek Farm and Monson Farm, honey from Northern Lights Honey, additional meat from L&M Meats, cheese from Pride Dairy and Lentil Crunchers from 41 Grains. Brisket from Lazy D Red Angus will be served alongside lettuce from Springbrook Bible Camp (formerly Upper Missouri Ministries) and wine from Dakota Sun Winery via 26th Street Liquor.

Desserts from Sweet T’s Farmstead and Baked Goods using locally sourced ingredients, including chickpea flour, lentils, rhubarb and more.

Tickets are available now at www.willistonchamber.com/farm-to-table. The Farm to Table Dinner will be held on June 19 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Ellis family land near Springbrook Dam. The address will be provided upon ticket purchase.

USDA expands testing as bird flu spreads from poultry to cattle and humans

GRAPHIC STAFF

news@vocella.com

U.S. — The USDA has conducted over 17,000 avian influenza tests on cattle, identifying 67 affected herds across nine states. Dairy farmers and the federal government are responding to this outbreak of H5N1, also known as bird flu, which has now infected cattle and caused mild symptoms in three dairy farmworkers. Despite the leap from poultry to cattle to humans, public health officials consider the public risk low but are closely monitoring the situation.

Efforts to control the virus involve various federal and state agencies. The USDA, responsible for farm animals, has launched a voluntary pilot program to expand testing on dairy farms, making it easier to transport dairy cows across state lines. The program will use milk samples to detect H5N1, with consistent negative results allowing smoother interstate movement of cattle.

There is reluctance among some dairy farmers to test their herds due to fears of restrictions if infections are found. The USDA emphasizes the importance of testing to prevent the spread to poultry, which suffer more severely from the virus. Noise-mak-

ing systems to deter wild birds, a source of the virus, are among recommended precautions.

The USDA is transferring $824 million to support its ongoing response. The CDC and other agencies focus on farmworker safety, ensuring access to protective equipment and encouraging testing for mild symptoms. This is crucial for early detection and containment, especially since respiratory symptoms have emerged in the latest human case.

Experts advise against consuming raw milk and recommend limiting pets' interaction with wild birds to prevent further spread. Surveillance and testing are key to understanding and controlling the virus. Public health officials aim to build trust among farmworkers to enhance testing and reporting, crucial steps in managing the outbreak.

NDDOT shoulder mowing begins June 15

NDDOT

BISMARCK – The North Dakota Department of Transportation will begin mowing a seven-to-ten-foot clearance along shoulders of state highways starting the week of June 15.

Additional mowing could take place sooner at highway intersections and in urban areas.

Adjacent landowners who plan to mow non-interstate ditches for hay should do so before the state mows these areas. Private mowing is not allowed in medians of fourlane highways.

For more information, contact the respective NDDOT district office in your area. For Williston District, call 701-7742700. More information and a district map can be found at www.dot.nd.gov/about-nddot/nddot-districts.

Despite positive ranking, ND sees worrisome trends for child well-being

NORTH DAKOTA – On the surface, North Dakota is performing well in setting the tone for child well-being. However, an annual ranking finds certain indicators going in the wrong direction.

The Annie E. Casey Foundation's latest Kids Count report puts North Dakota 10th in the nation when looking at how kids are faring these days.

It's number one for economic well-being, but the state's child poverty rate has increased to 13%.

North Dakota Kids Count Director Xanna Burg said expiring pandemic aid may have been a factor, but she pointed out the result comes amid low unemployment and rising wages within the state.

"It signals an ongoing need to really take a look at how families are faring across the state," said Burg, "and think about how specifically are we reaching the families most in need and not just look at how the economy is doing."

Burg said too many families still spend a large portion of their income on housing,

leaving less for other necessities. The state did improve its rate for children whose parents lack secure employment.

Just as at the national level, low test scores were found in North Dakota's education summary, with 72% of eighth graders not proficient in math.

The Casey Foundation's Vice President for External Affairs Leslie Boissiere said compared to peer nations, the U.S. is not equipping its children with the high-level reading, math, and digital problem-solving skills needed for many of today's fastest-growing occupations.

"Our economy is propelled by a prepared workforce," said Boissiere. "And so in order for our economy to work well, it's important that we prepare young people with the skills that they need so that they are entering the workforce prepared."

For North Dakota, the policy experts recommend continued state investment in childcare and early education.

They also say ensuring access to low or no-cost meals, a reliable internet connection, and a safe home environment can put kids in a better position to get back on track academically.

Health & Wellness

Wellness Wednesday Be sun savvy with skin safety

Did you know that skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States with one in five Americans developing it their lifetime? In North Dakota, it is estimated that six percent of people have been told they have skin cancer. More than 9,500 Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer every day and more than two people die of the disease every hour. Yet, skin cancer is also one of the most preventable forms of cancer. About 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers and 85 percent of melanoma cases are associated with exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. By sharing facts about the dangers of unprotected exposure and encouraging people to check their skin for warning signs, we CAN and will save lives.

Myth Busting and Fact Checking

North Dakota has a higher skin cancer prevalence than the United States. Why? Using skin safety measures seems obvious on the hot sunny days of summer, but UV sun damage can occur in all seasons and all weather. Sunny winter days, glare off of snow and cool cloudy or breezy days still provide sun damage even when we don’t feel hot.

Heritages with fair skin, light color eyes and hair have lower pigmentation, which is a form of sun protection, therefore have increased chances of skin damage. North Dakota has a lot of occupations that

involve outdoor work that increases sun exposure, including farmers, ranchers, construction, oil field, truck drivers, etc.

You are your own best advocate. The majority of doctors do not do skin checks during a routine check-up. Meaning, you need to do your own routine skin checks because you are most likely to spot changes in your skin. Do you have an “atypical mole,” several moles or freckles, history of sunburns or family history of skin cancer? You may be at an elevated risk and should know how to spot an atypical mole. And when in doubt, get it checked out.

The ABCDE Warning Signs

A is for Asymmetry. Most melanomas are asymmetrical. If you draw a line through the middle of the lesion, the two halves don’t match, so it looks different from a round to oval and symmetrical common mole.

B is for Border. Borders tend to be uneven and may have scalloped or notched edges, while common moles tend to have more smoother, more even borders.

C is for Color. Multiple colors are a warning sign. While benign moles are usually a single shade of brown, a melanoma may have different shades of brown, tan or black. As it grows, the colors red, white or blue may also appear.

D is for Diameter and Dark. While it’s ideal to detect a melanoma when it’s small, it is a warning sign if a lesion is the size of

a pencil eraser (about 6 mm, or ¼ inch in diameter) or larger. Some experts say it is also important to look for any lesion, no matter what size, that is darker than others. Rare, amelanotic melanomas are colorless.

E is for Evolving. Any change in size, shape, color or elevation of a spot on your skin, or any new symptom in it, such as bleeding, itching or crusting, may be a warning sign to see your doctor.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Each time you run out to get the mail, walk the dog or commute to work without sun protection also adds to the damage that can lead to skin cancer (as well as leathery skin, dark spots and wrinkles).

Cover up your skin with breathable long sleeve fabrics, UV-blocking sunglasses, and a wide brim hat (scalp, neck, and ears are notorious for skin damage as they are typically missed).

Seek shade during peak sun intensity hours, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Know your sunscreen.Apply broad spectrum SPF 15+ everyday and SPF 30+ for extended outdoor activities, plus try to reapply every two hours as you sweat/swim.

Be aware of indirect exposures. Windows and windshields allow UV rays through and avoid tanning beds.

No single method of sun defense can protect you perfectly, though. Remember, the best path to beautiful, healthy skin is

The Society of the Strange and Peculiar: Rickford, N.D.

michaelricewrites@gmail.com robisdreaming@gmail.com

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.

All around me, the world appeared in perpetual twilight. The empty land surrounding me became an unsettling caricature of a town I’ve seen in old western cinema. Some buildings fought a losing battle against gravity while others proudly rebelled against father time. Ahead of me stood a partly destroyed wall. Yet, a flickering light shone from a picture window as if the structure was filled with candles. Only one side was illuminated while the opposite, that which I would assume was inside the walls, was dark.

I steeled myself and approached the window. Voices cut through the silence and it took every inch of courage in me to gaze into that illusion. Inside is what I can only describe as an old courtroom. Men, dressed in wool clothing murmured about with excitement. A gavel rang out like gunfire as a tall man behind the bench rose.

“My good people, the count is in!” The man…judge? The speaker paused as the crowd leaned in hungry to devour what came next. “There were fifty-nine yeas and only one

nay. Today, May Twenty-Ninth in the year of our Lord Eighteen Eighty-Seven, the town of Rickford has officially been incorporated into North Dakota!”

A joyous eruption of cheers filled the still air as men patted one another on the back and shook the hands of the fellows around them. Behind the speaker was a large purple and black crest. There was an animal on it but it was smeared

as if the artist ran their hand over the wet paint.

I took a step back from the window.

The only way I can begin to fathom what happened was that I hit my head when I tripped (so much for three times the charm.) Yet, as I feel around my skull, there is no tenderness. Back to whatever delusion captured me.

Some cosmic pull beckoned my curiosity to glance back into the room. My feet begged me not to go, but I’m like a cat in these situations. It was very much as I left it. The celebration had died down a little but it was still a crowd of happy individuals. Then, the hair on my arms and neck stood up as straight as a skyscraper. A cold chill washed down my spine as I quickly looked around me. There was nothing but me and the graveyard of old homes and dreams.

It was on a glance over to my right shoulder that something caught in the corner of my vision. I scoured the room as if I dropped the most valuable diamond known to mankind. Only then, did I truly feel fear. In the corner, stood a shadow. I know not of what, but the flickering light flowed around the shade like a rock jettisoning out of water. Something in that unholy presence met my eyes.

I stumbled backwards (no, I did not fall for a fourth time today,) when my hand brushed against a sheet of paper. It was as if it had been torn in half but was magically reattached, with only a slight scar running down the page.

It read:

Shrubs for shade BUSINESS

Advertisement | Andrew Kuester CESKY GOLD, The New Gold Standard. Owning a home can be one of the most enjoyable things you will ever do, and keeping the outside looking beautiful will help maintain its value. Many people come to visit us looking for landscape ideas for entrances that are shaded. Either by large trees or by the angle in which the home was built, the front entrance to the home finds itself in the shade most of the time. There ARE many plants that can perform well in the shade. In a series of articles we’ll share with you some strong SHRUB choices for shadier environments.

A brief reminder on the difference between “shrubs” and “perennials”. Shrubs, unlike other perennial plants such as tulips or peonies, produce woody growth. That means they produce growth NEXT SEASON on the growth they produced this year. As opposed to the aforementioned tulip and peony which die down to the ground and come up again in the Spring.

If you’re looking for a shrub option that is cold-hardy, look no further than this new introduction! The Cesky Gold Birch. Yes, you heard me right, birch! While many are probably familiar with birch trees such as the Cutleaf Weeping Birch and the often clump form Paper Birch, the Cesky Gold has a much smaller overall habit. Topping out at just around five feet the Cesky Gold has dark cinnamon stems adorned with bright round lemony to chartreuse foliage. Birch all have toothed edges to their leaves making their foliage attractive.

A great substitute for yellow-leafed barberry, Cesky has no thorn to speak of. Its chartreuse foliage develops as a rich orange/red and matures to a deep yellow or pale green. Birch is an air-pollinated Genus and as such has no flowers to speak of. (continued next week)
