From the Designer: This Issue
Dear Valued Readers,
As the sun sets on another summer, we find ourselves on the brink of a new season. As many of us are ready for a little cooler temperatures and everything “fall” themed, the transition from the relaxed, carefree days of summer to the more structured routines of fall can still sometimes be challenging. But, with a little preparation, it can also be a time of renewal and fresh beginnings.
One of the best ways to ease this transition is by gradually adjusting your routine. Start by shifting bedtimes and wake-up times back to the school or work schedule, a week or two before fall officially begins. This gradual change can help everyone in the household adjust without the shock of an abrupt shift. Remember kids and teens need more sleep than we adults do!
Another important step is to get organized. Take some time to declutter your home, especially areas like entryways, mudrooms and closets, where fall essentials will soon be in high demand. Organizing these spaces now can save you time and stress later when the busy fall schedule kicks in. It’s also a great opportunity to pack away summer items and bring out the cozy blankets, sweaters and other autumn essentials.
Don’t forget to make the most of the remaining warm days. Whether it’s a final beach trip, a backyard barbecue or simply enjoying the outdoors, savoring these moments can help you embrace the season’s change with a sense of fulfillment rather than longing. Taking a daily walk can be an enjoyable way to embrace the outdoors and take notice of the changes in nature during the transition from summer to autumn.
As you prepare for fall, it’s also a good time to reflect on the goals you set at the start of the year. What have you achieved and what remains? Use the start of the new season as an opportunity to reassess and set new goals for the months ahead.
Fall is a time of transformation, both in nature and in our lives. By approaching this change with intention and preparation, you can ensure a smooth transition from the laid-back days of summer to the vibrant energy of fall. And if you happen to be one of those families that is constantly on the go all summer and are looking forward to slowing down this fall, some of these tips for a different kind of structure and organization can still be super helpful!
Here’s to a season of fresh starts and new opportunities!

Q & A WITH A SENIOR, MIDDLE SCHOOLER AND KINDERGARTENER
As the mornings have become cooler and the sun has begun to sleep in a few extra minutes each morning, the shift of season is marked not only by nature but by store isles of pencils and notebooks and the anticipation of starting a new school year.
Mixed emotions also come with this season change: Parents who want to keep their kids close and those that cannot wait to jump back into a routine; middle schoolers hanging on to the last few days of “freedom;” seniors excited to begin their final year; fifth graders going to a brand new school; kindergarteners embarking on an entirely new, and equally exciting and scary, world of full days at school. Each student goes into the school year with their own perspective.
Below are answers to questions about the upcoming school year from Rita, a high school senior, Hadley, a fifth grader going to the Bakken for the first time, and Henry, a kindergartner..
What grade will you be in?
Rita: I will be a senior.
Hadley: Fifth grade at the Bakken. Henry: Kindergarten. I don’t know what school.
What are you most looking forward to this year?
Rita: I’m most looking forward to all of the fun senior year activities.
Hadley: Being with my friends, meeting my new teacher and stuff like that.
Henry: I want to go to the gym to play. I
want to eat food there. I’m excited for kindergarten.
What have you done to prepare for this school year?
Rita: To prepare for this school year I’ve gotten my class schedule figured out, I’ve bought new school supplies and of course, new school clothes!
Hadley: Got new shoes, getting a new backpack and I have been asking older friends about the Bakken.
Henry: I got a backpack and some shoes. And that’s mostly what I know. What is your favorite subject and why?
Rita: My favorite subject changes every year, based on last year, I would have to say science or history.
Hadley: Probably writing, Even though sometimes it makes my hand hurt. I like it better than math and reading.
Henry: Numbers. Science. When you mix up something and it explodes. What do you like to do outside of school?
Rita: Outside of school I love to dance, hangout with my friends and family, participate in pageants, travel and sleep!
Hadley: Play with my friends, draw and do art projects. Volleyball, hockey — lots of hockey camps and volleyball camps as well. And we go camping a lot.
Henry: Go to my neighbor’s house. I play baseball and hockey. Go on my trampoline. Has there been a teacher or school staff that has made a difference in your life?
Rita: The teacher who has made the biggest difference in my life is my math teacher Mr. Jorgenson. He always helps the students when they need it and also makes his classes fun and enjoyable.
Hadley: Ms. Conlin and Mrs. Bauska. Ms. Conlin is really nice and she goes out of her way to do a lot of fun stuff for her students. Same with Mrs. Bauska.
Henry: Ms. Shatha. Because she is so nice. She prints our stuff that we want. What do you want to be when you grow up?
Rita: In the future, I plan to go to college for physical therapy!
Hadley: An animator. I see a lot of things where people make little things and it's cool.
Henry: A five billionaire!
As the first day of school approaches, inevitably bringing new friendships and knowledge with every dulled pencil and used up notebook, each student will begin their own journey guided by teachers, paras, janitors, lunch ladies, principals and admin that will leave a lasting impression for years to come.
From all of us at the Williston Graphic, have a great first day and a wonderful school year!

Williston Fire Department achieves international accreditation
WILLISTON GRAPHIC STAFF news@vocella.com
WILLISTON — The City of Williston Fire Department has earned Accredited Agency status from the Commission on Fire Accreditation International, joining an elite group of only 320 agencies worldwide and becoming the third in North Dakota to achieve this recognition. The accreditation reflects the department’s dedication to excellence in service delivery and continuous quality improvement.
The CFAI accreditation process, which began in 2018, involved rigorous self-assessment and external validation. Key components of this effort included the development of the WFD 2022-2027 Strategic Plan, a comprehensive self-assessment manual and a Community Risk Assessment and Standards of Cover report.
"This accreditation is made possible by the dedication of those who choose to protect and serve," said Mayor Howard Klug.
He emphasized that the achievement is a tribute not only to the fire department but also to the community and its citizens, whose support underpins the department's success.
WFD Accreditation Manager Kay Metzger highlighted the significance of the accreditation, stating that the achievement demonstrates commitment to providing high quality service to the community. She added that the CFAI model has been instrumental in helping the department plan for the future and identify areas for improvement.
City Administrator Shawn Wenko praised the WFD, calling the accreditation a testament to the dedication, professionalism and commitment to the safety of the community. He noted that the department's accomplishment sets a high standard for emergency services in the region, reinforcing the city's mission to ensure public safety and well-being.
Regional center helps small food, farm businesses reach local tables
MIKE
MOEN
PRAIRIE NEWS SERVICE
NORTH DAKOTA — Ever order a hamburger at a restaurant and wonder where the ingredients came from? Farmers in North Dakota and surrounding states are leaning on a new federal program to help ensure those menu items come from their operations.
This week, partners under the Regional Food Business Center for North Central States gather in Fargo to help small and mid-sized food and farm businesses navigate government resources. The virtual center is one of 12 across the country announced by the USDA over the past year.
Jenny Lester Moffitt, undersecretary for marketing and regulatory programs at the USDA, said some of the early funding went to North Dakota's Square One commercial kitchen, a rental space for culinary startups.
"Someone who's making jams, you can't afford a commercial kitchen just on your own," Moffitt pointed out. "What many folks will do is they'll come together and they'll say, 'We need a space in which to make our product that meets the different food safety requirements; also has the types of equipment that we need.'"
CHI St. Alexius Health Williston earns ACR accreditation
CHI ST. ALEXIUS HEALTH
WILLISTON — CHI St. Alexius Health
Williston has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in mammography as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology. Mammography is a specific type of imaging test that uses a low-dose X-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting specific requirements based on ACR practice parameters and technical standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical phys-
icists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported back to the facility and provide the practice with a comprehensive report that can be used for continuous practice improvement.
“We are proud to offer high quality and safe medical imaging to our community. Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women in the United States and early detection is key to survival,” said Marti Volz, director of ancillary services at CHI St. Alexius Health Williston.
Mammograms detect breast cancer early, when treatments have the greatest chance of success. Call 701-774-7435 to book a mammogram today.
60 years into war on poverty: ND agencies prioritize adaptability
MIKE MOEN PRAIRIE NEWS SERVICE
NORTH DAKOTA — For six decades, the U.S. has been carrying out a coordinated effort to keep poverty levels in check.
Support offices in North Dakota say while needs may change, their multi-faceted approach to improving outcomes remains intact.
Another example is a family farm in North Dakota, specializing in pasture-raised poultry, receiving funds to expand its wildflower honey operations. The USDA has faced criticism for how it awards funding under separate initiatives, with money flowing to large-scale farms. But Moffitt noted requirements built into this program allow them to focus on under-resourced farmers and businesses.
Moffitt argued it is about more than awarding money and helping these farm and food businesses apply for other grants. She emphasized marketing expertise is another component, so places like restaurants and hospitals have more choices when buying food in bulk.
"It's choice for farmers and producers to be able to have more places that they can sell their product," Moffitt explained. "But also it's about choice for the buyers."
In the end, officials say building a more resilient and diversified food system benefits consumers, who might not feel the squeeze as much during future market disruptions. The north-central food hub covers North and South Dakota, and Minnesota. In its first year, more than $600,000 was awarded to local recipients, with application demand much higher.
Policy analysts say poverty rates in the U.S. are well below where they were when President Lyndon Johnson declared a war on poverty in 1964. But they also note the mission is far from over.
Erv Bren is the executive director of the Community Action Partnership office in North Dakota's Williston region.
He said no matter what the landscape looks like, his staff takes a deep look at each client's situation as they map out a plan toward a better future.
"They look at their budgets, whatever it may be," said Bren, "so that they can be self-sufficient and hopefully land a decent, stable job."
Bren said he feels there are still misconceptions that low-income individuals simply need to find a job and their problems will be solved.
Community Action Agencies, celebrat-
ing their 60th anniversary, assist with things such as job training and housing stability to ensure a client can move up in the world without having setbacks.
North Dakota's poverty rate is currently at 11.5%.
Kari Schultz is the client services director for the Williston office. She said she feels a lot of their work still flies under the radar.
"[It's] like, 'Oh, I didn't know that you help with cooling assistance for seniors' or, 'I didn't know that you provided veteran supportive services,'" said Schultz. "It's getting that education piece out instead of just having the sign on the corner of the building."
Bren said putting energy into needs that rise to the top is key in preventing things from spiraling out of control.
A lack of housing is fueling demand right now, and he says after the pandemic upended progress in reducing poverty, his team is focused on renewing stability within the region.
The good news, he said, is that jobs are available. Clients need to realize the opportunity.
"Once you're out of the workforce for a while, you lose touch," said Bren. "You lose the connection and it's just the challenges that come up that are beyond the individual's control."

Helping the family keep connected
The beginning of school means changes from the “free-flowing” days of summer to regular daily routines. Though these August to September changes are predictable, the transition can be rough for adults and children. There are several tips out there to help ease into the new schedule while boosting your child’s attitude, confidence and school performance. Here are just a few tips for starting a new school year:
Re-establish school time biorhythms. Get back into regular bedtime and mealtime (especially breakfast) routines. Talk with your child about the benefits of school routines in terms of not becoming tired or overwhelmed by school work and activities.
Get to know the school and teachers. Find a way to connect with the teacher. Send an email introducing yourself to your child’s teacher if you have not had the opportunity to meet them yet. Go with your child to the school, asking him or her to show you around.
Establish organization zones. Select a spot by the door to keep backpacks, lunch boxes and school supplies. Enlist your child’s help in setting up a “homework zone” where they can do their work each day. Be sure books and homework are placed inside backpacks and placed back
by the door to eliminate the morning rush. Pick a place to deal with forms sent by the school and read it as soon as it arrives. These packets include important information and need a safe place to keep parents organized, too.
Clear your own schedule for the first few weeks of school. When possible, postpone business trips, volunteer meetings and extra projects. Be free to help your child adjust to the school routine and overcome the confusion or anxiety that many children experience. Mark your calendar with important dates, especially if you have children in more than one school and need to juggle obligations or arrange babysitting.
Know when to use technology. There are several awesome applications to make scheduling, communication and classroom work easier. The school may already be using some apps that you can tie into and there may be other apps you find helpful for your family. But be aware of technology overload for kids.Try turning off the TV and encourage your child to play quiet games, do puzzles, flash cards, color or read.
Most important tip of all: take time to listen. Invite your child to talk about her or his day and then practice active listening to their thoughts and feelings to show interest and curiosity, rather than judgment, about their school experiences.
To learn more about strengthening the family and helping your child thrive, there are several topics that you can dive into at the Keep Connected website at: keepconnected.searchinstitute.org. Some of the topics include strengthening family relationships, growing up responsibly, and understanding ages/stages. Each of these topics are broken down into several subtopics from specific youth age groups, challenges and goals that are more specific to your family’s needs.The website includes some really awesome interactive features such as quick quizzes that you and the family can take to check how you’re doing, compare notes and try new things; creative discussion starters for parents and kids or parent-to-parent; short, interactive activities you can use with your family to explore a topic and spend time together; high-quality children’s books and discussion guides that prompt parent-child conversations; and support to learn more through key background research for each topic!
I hope you find the Keep Connected program beneficial and are able to dive into its multiple topics throughout all the stages of parenting for years to come. Until next time, continue extending knowledge and changing lives with NDSU Extension.
Through a Lutheran Lens
The Bible, Deadpool & Wolverine, and your Neighbor: The Power of the Canon
PASTOR ZACH HARRIS FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH
If you want to get someone to read something, just give it an intriguing title! Then they will think, “What in the world could those three things have in common?” To be honest, the seed for this little thought came the day the new Deadpool movie opened a couple of weeks ago. Having been referred to as a “Professional Geek” almost as many times as a Pastor, I’m always looking for some theological/Biblical connection with whatever is in the Zeitgeist of the media. It was a slam dunk that this movie would be BIG, but we didn’t realize how big. And with an R rating, and the notorious reputation of Deadpool (the comic character as well as Ryan Reynold’s take on him,) it almost goes without saying that this movie is NOT for children in any number of those R sanctioned categories. But as I left the theater that opening day, I was struck with another caveat: this movie is also not for the casual,
wide, viewing audience. Reviews tell me I was right on my first assumption, but box office numbers say I was wrong on my second assumption.
You see, without giving too much in the way of spoilery, to really GET this blockbuster movie, you have to go against every recent criticism of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and then some. The main criticism recently was that you have to know the 33 other MCU movies, the multiple Disney+ TV shows, and even the Sony licensed Spiderman works to know what’s going on. But here, you actually also have to REALLY understand the 18 Fox X-Men related movies as well as a variety of hero flicks going all the way back to Blade from 1998 as well as one movie that was never even filmed! Add to that the many quips as Deadpool breaks the fourth wall citing the legal wranglings of Disney and Fox, the personal lives of the cast, and even the minutia of comic creators right down to an homage to Incredible Hulk #180 from 1974 (an issue I owned and sold to go to seminary — yes, we all make choices we regret!) and Wolverine’s first appearance!
The point being, that unless you know the canon, the recognized background, nuance and historical context behind almost every line of dialogue, you will not fully understand everything the movie has to offer. It is a Geek’s paradise, like those American Pickers finding a barn full of treasures that everyone else sees as junk!
If you think that sounds complicated, believe it or not, the Bible is infused with almost an infinite amount more of canonical references that not only deserves study and understanding, but needs such to be truly taken to heart. Would it not be wonderful if something like the “Chosen” TV series could cause as much diligence to seek out the underlying background, nuance and historical context for those Biblical verses that sometimes are so misused that they get twisted from the Gospel message of Love to bumper sticker mottos that end up sowing hate?
And then, my friends, how often is it that our very neighbors who live, laugh and love in our community beside us, are so quickly judged and categorized without looking deeper beyond one incident? We
time and again foolishly try to get a total picture of who they are from one facet, rather than the many-faceted diamond of God’s Creation. Thus, we miss our fellow child of God!
Perhaps the theological point here is that we need to look deeper and more fully in three dimensions to truly understand: perhaps that movie is more than jokes and fight scenes; perhaps the Bible is more than pithy sayings; and perhaps the person with one opposing opinion is more than a one trick pony. Maybe the need to look in three dimensions is why for 2000 years the Church continues to speak of our One God in three persons — Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But that too is a subject that requires deeper contemplation!
Pastor Zach Harris has been an ordained minister for 33 years and currently serves First Lutheran Church in Williston. His column, “Through a Lutheran Lens: A Pastor’s Perspective,” will appear regularly in the Williston Graphic.

Let’s talk Hydrangea. People love them, and many are attracted to the Endless Summer series that bloom differently based on the pH of the soil. Well, not to be a downer, but we’d best just scratch those from the list right now. Not only do they really not tolerate our soil pH, they also do not appreciate our colder temperatures. While there are many Hydrangea that we CANNOT grow here in our “gardens of the North” there is one Specie in particular that has become super hot among breeders.
In this late summer scene, enter the Panicle Hydrangea! Panicle Hydrangea, or Hydrangea paniculata - for those few of us who enjoy Latin names ;) - are enjoying an immense uptick in breeding these past years. That might have something to do with the fact that they are cold hardy plants. It might also have something to do with the fact that there are no soil requirements for color on these plants. Yes, you heard me right, NO TREATING OF THE SOIL!
With the arrival of the late summer season, I often enjoy approaching these plants in my landscape and looking for evidence of developing blooms. These Hydrangea have a panicled flower. Something you might have guessed by their name. These LOOSE or spacious clusters of flowers add attractive interest to the landscape in the later part of the summer.
The longevity of these flowers is nice. When left on the plant, and the plant stays sufficiently hydrated, these blooms can last for up to or longer than, two weeks! The color changing that these flowers go through as they mature is also attractive. Flower
panicles are built with an almost yellow color. This color gives way to white petals, generally from the bottom of the flower and working its way up. The white petals eventually change to a pink color. This change occurs from bottom to top also, some like the Quick Fire tend to change their whole flower overall. While they all will likely bloom over the course of the same six-week period, some of these hydrangeas are earlier than others. The Hydrangea show almost always begins with the Quick Fire series. They can be the first to put on their flowers, sometimes beginning as early as the Fourth of July. Next in line are often some of the other hybrid forms such as Bobo, Vanilla Strawberry, and others. And perhaps the “best for last” Limelight series is usually the final performance of new blooms.
Perhaps the best additions produced by breeding are those compact varieties that make better foundation plantings. The Bobo, and the “Little” types, Little Quick Fire and Little Lime, generally make better choices for foundation plantings since these varieties tend to mature shorter than five feet tall. If the height is your desire, look at the parents of these hybrids. Quickfire, Limelight, and the common Pee Gee Hydrangea can achieve heights as tall as eight or even ten feet!
Something to remember about Panicle Hydrangea is that they bloom on THIS SEASON’S growth. Once these shrubs have leafed out, they should not be pruned or you will remove your opportunity for flowering. The best time to do any serious pruning to Panicle Hydrangea is either after they are finished flowering, or after they have lost their leaves in the fall.
