From the Designer: This Issue
Dear Valued Readers, Accountability is a cornerstone of personal and professional growth. Holding yourself accountable means taking responsibility for your actions, commitments and the outcomes of your efforts. It’s about being honest with yourself, setting clear goals and consistently evaluating your progress. Here are some strategies to help you master the art of self-accountability.
Firstly, set specific, achievable goals. Vague objectives can lead to procrastination and lack of direction. Instead of saying, "I want to exercise more," commit to "I will jog for 30 minutes, three times a week." Clear goals provide a roadmap and make it easier to track your progress.
Next, create a plan and set deadlines. Break your goals into smaller, manageable tasks and assign deadlines to each. This not only makes the process less overwhelming but also creates a sense of urgency. Use tools like planners, calendars or apps to keep track of your deadlines and remind yourself of upcoming tasks.
Regularly review your progress. Set aside time weekly or monthly to evaluate what you’ve accomplished and where you’ve fallen short. Reflecting on your performance helps you understand your strengths and areas for improvement. Celebrate your achievements and learn from your setbacks.
Another key element is self-discipline. Holding yourself accountable requires consistency and the ability to stay focused on your goals. Develop habits that support your objectives, such as setting aside dedicated time for your tasks and minimizing distractions. Building a routine can make it easier to stay on track.
Seek support and feedback. Share your goals with a trusted friend, family member or mentor who can provide encouragement and hold you accountable. Sometimes, knowing that someone else is aware of your commitments can motivate you to stay dedicated.
Lastly, be kind to yourself. Accountability is not about self-criticism but about learning and growing. If you make a mistake, acknowledge it, understand why it happened and adjust your approach. By holding yourself accountable, you empower yourself to achieve your goals and continuously improve. It’s a journey of self-discovery and progress that leads to lasting success.
Here’s to taking charge and making progress!

Profiles Kay Michael Lee Studio announces closure after 13 years of inspiring dance and community
KAY MICHAEL LEE DANCE STUDIO
After 13 years of nurturing aspiring dancers and enriching the community, Kay Michael Lee Studio will be closing its doors on July 15. The studio, founded in 2011 by Sarah Johnson and Serena Christianson, has served as a beloved space for countless students to discover the joy of dance, develop their skills and build lasting memories.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Williston and greater MonDak community for the unwavering support we’ve received over the past 13 years,” said Sarah Johnson, artistic director and owner of Kay Michael Lee Studio. “It’s been a privilege to witness the growth and passion of our students, many of whom have gone on to pursue collegiate dance careers and continue to share their love of dance with the world.”
Throughout its tenure, Kay Michael Lee Studio has impacted the lives of countless students, providing them with a platform to learn various dance styles, build confidence and express themselves creatively. Many of
their former students have gone on to pursue higher education and become leaders in the dance community.
“We are proud of the many talented dancers who have trained at our studio and gone on to become coaches and teachers themselves right here in Williston and across the country,” Johnson added. “It is truly inspiring to see the impact that our studio has had on the lives of our students and the larger dance community.”
Kay Michael Lee Studio fostered a strong sense of community that extended far beyond the studio walls. The studio's commitment to nurturing young dancers went hand-in-hand with enriching the lives of others in Williston. This dedication was evident in initiatives like the "Rising Stars Showcase'' where young dancers performed at a local nursing home, bringing joy to senior citizens and the "Summer Showcase" held in Harmon Park, offering the community free, high-quality entertainment. The studio also established a unique "Student of the Month'' program, recognizing dancers who not only displayed exceptional work ethic and positive attitude but also demonstrated consistent improvement in their skills.
One of the studio's signature achieve-
ments was the creation of a Halloween-themed production titled "Halloween Alive!" This show, performed in 2013, 2014, 2016 and 2023 brought the spirit of Halloween to life through dance. Each year featured a unique storyline, showcasing the versatility and creativity of their instructors and dancers.
Kay Michael Lee Studio's commitment to excellence extended beyond the studio walls. KML was the first studio in Western North Dakota to have instructors certified in Acrobatic Arts, ensuring their students received the highest quality training in this specialized dance discipline. This dedication to pushing boundaries also manifested in their competition program. Johnson served as a certified North Dakota Dance and Drill judge, establishing relationships beyond the studio dance community. Johnson also created a strong relationship with Williston Basin School District #7, where the studio’s competitive program was recognized as a school-sanctioned sport, a testament to the athleticism and dedication required of our
dancers. KML also collaborated with organizations like Girl Scouts and Miss North Dakota's Princess Program. This dedication to community involvement further solidified Kay Michael Lee Studio's place as a pillar of Williston.
The studio’s commitment to providing enriching experiences for its dancers went beyond the competition stage. They organized travel opportunities across the country, including a memorable trip to Universal Studios in Florida in 2021. These experiences allowed their dancers to showcase their talents on a broader stage, cultivate lifelong memories and further their passion for dance.
While Kay Michael Lee Studio will be closing its doors, the legacy it leaves behind is one of excellence, innovation and a deep love for dance. The joy and life lessons learned within its walls will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Sarah Johnson and Serena Christianson, all the instructors and all those who have been a part of the Kay Michael Lee Studio family.

PSC schedules public input sessions for proposed MDU natural gas rate increase
NORTH DAKOTA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
BISMARCK, ND – The North Dakota Public Service Commission will hold two public input sessions on July 22, which will allow participants to view the sessions and provide comments in person or virtually. The sessions will be an opportunity for Montana-Dakota Utilities natural gas customers to provide comments regarding a request for an increase to their natural gas rates.
During the sessions, officials from MDU will provide a presentation regarding their proposal and then public comments will be taken. The proposed increase would result in an annual increase in its North Dakota natural gas service revenue of approximately $11.6 million or 7.45 percent. The proposed rate increase would affect rates for all of MDU’s retail natural gas customers in North Dakota.
To remotely view or listen to the public input sessions, that will be held on July 22 at noon and 5:30 p.m. on the 12th floor of the State Capital, visit https://psc.nd.gov/ public/meetings/live.php.
The Commission will receive comments through the following methods:
• In Person – North Dakota State Capitol, 12th Floor Commission Hearing Room at 600 E Boulevard Ave., in Bismarck.
• Written – Written comments may be submitted via e-mail at any time by sending to ndpsc@nd.gov or by mail addressed to: Public Service Commission, 600 E. Boulevard Ave., Dept. 408, Bismarck, ND 58505.
• Telephone – Comments may be given via phone during the public input sessions by calling 1-888-585-9008 Room Code 671-872-185.
• Virtually/Video Conference – Input may be given via video conference at the following link during the public input sessions using this link: https://meet. goto.com/609284261
Public input sessions are not considered part of the formal technical hearing, but the PSC Commissioners will be attending and using the information gathered at the sessions to identify areas of concern that may require further investigation during the formal technical hearing.

Watchable Wildlife photo contest
NORTH DAKOTA GAME AND FISH
NORTH DAKOTA — Photographers interested in sending photos for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s Watchable Wildlife Photo Contest must follow guidelines for submitting their work. Photographers should go to the Game and Fish Department’s website at gf.nd.gov/ wildlife/watchable-photo-contest. Then it is a matter of providing some pertinent information about the photo and uploading it.

information or questions, contact Patrick Isakson, department conservation biologist, at pisakson@nd.gov.
The contest has categories for nongame and game species, as well as plants/insects. An overall winning photograph will be chosen, with the number of place winners in each category determined by the number of qualified entries.
Contestants are limited to no more than five entries. Photos must have been taken in North Dakota.
By submitting an entry, photographers grant permission to Game and Fish to publish winning photographs in “North Dakota OUTDOORS” on the department’s website and social media channels.

Fort Union celebrated Independence Day with black powder demonstration
RACHEL VENTURE Submitted on WillistonGraphic.com
NORTH DAKOTA — Leif Halvorson is a seasonal park ranger at Fort Union with some history knowledge and a real flare for recreation. For Independence Day 2024 he brought the 1850’s alive with a demonstration of a traditional black powder musket used in the early trading post days.
These muskets were not used for defense as most Europeans of Nordic origin worked peacefully and traded with the Hidatsa and Lakota Sioux. The firearms were, instead, used for hunting everything from buffalo to rabbits, depending on the amount of black powder packed behind the musket ball.
The Independence Day demonstration on July 4 did not produce a projectile but definitely wowed a lot of curious spectators just before the rain rolled in.
Whether it’s a family tradition or newcomers curious about what all the noise is, Fort Union is a fascinating tourist stop full
new and old knowledge and
of
lovely green pathways through the local forest. Located off 1804 on the Montana-North Dakota border, the fort is an easy stop between Trenton, N.D. and Fairview, M.T.

Wellness Wednesday Promoting community and quality of life
The intent of most community and economic development initiatives is to advance an area’s “quality of life.” But what does “quality of life” mean and how is it measured? Is it the presence of a strong local economy, sound local leadership, quality government services, top-notch public supported schools, great health care services or other indicators? The simple answer is yes. In many respects, all of these represent traits that would be associated with a community deemed to have a high quality of life.
In order to help local leaders and citizens find solutions to the challenges fac-
ing their communities, a set of guidelines or framework was created. Through years of study, peer-reviewing and refining, the “Community Capitals Framework” was developed. This framework suggests that the lifeblood of any community can be linked to the presence and strength of seven community capitals, which are resources that can be invested in or tapped into for the purpose of promoting the long-term well-being of communities.
The seven community capitals are natural, cultural, human, social, political, financial and built. Strong and resilient communities strive for balanced investments in
these seven capitals. If communities place too much emphasis on one or two of the capitals, they can end up suppressing the growth of the other community capitals, a condition that can damage the overall health of the community.
Most communities would find it very challenging to pursue simultaneous investments in the seven capitals. So, the question is this: is there a subset of community capitals that should be given priority attention over the other capitals? The answer depends on the unique strengths and needs of each community. In other words, there is no one size fits all when it comes to which of the capitals should be given precedence over others in any community.
What we do know from community studies is that pursuing positive change in one type of capital can create opportunities for improvements in other community capitals. In most communities, efforts to develop and sustain a strong, vibrant community are a long term process. The community capitals framework offers local leaders, organizations and residents a deeper understanding of the multi-pronged approach that is needed if communities hope to create the foundation necessary for them to survive and thrive over the long-term.
Together we can all work together to improve the quality of life here in our local

The Society of the Strange and Peculiar: Rickford, N.D.
BY MICHAEL RICE AND ROB STAFFORD
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.
I normally wait until the end of day to jot down my notes, but it has already been an odd and unsettling morning. I must commit it to paper, or I will lose the feelings like smoke from my hands.
I packed the car as soon as the light would allow. This may have been my first mistake. The sun cast shadows just as well when rising as falling. I couldn’t put my finger on the feeling any better then than I can now, but it was wrong. I can't pin down what, but something just wasn’t right. Even now, as I sit parked outside the redacted, watching patrons slip in for pre-noon drinks, something is amiss. It’s almost like the shadows are unsettled. Like when you watch an old movie on a big TV and the
dirt roads unsettles me. Why?
***
I joined the locals for a drink of my own (when in Rome). A couple old fashions later and my fears are still here, albeit hazier around the edges. These people keep staring at me as I write. It’s almost like they think I’m writing about them. To be fair…
seemed bothered by this. It’s like these people have become accustomed to it. The cook just stuck his leg out the door and shook off the carcass like dust off his pant leg. As the door closed, I caught one last glimpse of the mangled corpse, bleeding into the backlot.
“He got what was coming to him,” the cook said, seeing the look on my face.
I swallowed hard, trying to tell myself those words were only a coincidence. I've done my best to write everything I saw when I was… wherever I was transported, but I can’t help the feeling I missed something. Like part of it slipped away like shifting shadows.
***
I’m back in the murder motel (needed a night away from the wind). I wandered through town hoping to buck this feeling. I couldn't. If anything, I’ve made it worse. I must have turned around at least a dozen times an hour. It was like I had something in my eye. Something I could feel but couldn’t find. Every time I was so sure I’d spot whatever was looming over me, or perhaps glimpse its shadow slinking round the corner. Hopefully, I can sleep it off.
PS I realized I haven’t eaten all day. That must be it. I’m just tired and hungry. The
most common of all man’s ailments and yet the one we seem utterly incapable of diagnosing until it is too late.
PPS I woke in a cold sweat from the sound of something slamming on a metal door. The doors here are all wood. And besides, they couldn't hope to hold up against the force that was pounding on… on… I don’t know. It’s already gone. Was it a dream? It feels too real to be a dream, but how could I have forgotten something like this.? If this roof starts to leak, I’m calling it quits.

It’s hot! Summer is “getting on” and we’ve seen some of our favorite plants arrive, perform, and finish their display of blooms in our landscape. The season of Late July through September is often considered by many the “dog days” of summer. We often think that many of our opportunities for performance in our landscape have passed us by. Nothing could be further from the truth! In a series of articles, we’ll share with you some of our favorite shrubs for “late summer” interest.
While a likely unknown shrub candidate, Snowberry or Symphoricarpos are native plants throughout the central and eastern United States. They have since been distributed and introduced into nearly all of the fifty states.
Useful as a low hedge or border, Snowberry often do best in areas of plentiful moisture, and yet areas that drain well. These shrubs also benefit from some afternoon shade. Great locations for these would be under trees or along the East side of a building or fence where they will likely receive a break from the hot afternoon sun.
Something unique about snowberry is the color and time period of the fruits. Blooming in early July, these plants have gray-green foliage atop often wiry stems; the plants in this Genus vary in height and spread. The white or pink flowers begin to develop in late June or early July. They are born in groups or in long clusters depending on the Species. The flowers then mature to attractive clusters of fruits in mid to late
August. Varying in color by species, the fruits are often white, pink, or red. The color on these fruits is often held until well into September. The color can begin to fade when the snow sometimes arrives. The fruits are often a food source for birds and other wildlife.
Some Snowberry are taller and more upright while others are shorter and have a more sprawling habit. Whether upright or creeping, they all have a light tendency to sucker and run. While not dramatically quick, they can “naturalize” if they are not paid attention to.
A smart trick we like for shrubs and perennial plants that can be “friendly” is to bury them in a larger nursery container. If you leave the lip of the container just above the soil level, it can be hidden with mulch or rock. This plastic nursery container will help to create a barrier and reduce the plant’s ability to sucker to areas where it is not desired. Always be sure that the container you choose has adequate drainage and ability for water to disperse into the soil around it.
As you may have guessed, the best time to prune this shrub would be in the fall after it has lost its leaves. Removing around 20% of the largest, thickest stems in the fall will help to create room for fresh young growth to appear from the root system. This will help to promote more flowers and fruits to develop. The leaves, while attractive graygreen have little to no fall color or interest to them. Though what the leaves lack, these plants make up for in the fruit.
