Dear Valued Readers,
As we step into yet another season of life, I find myself reflecting on how we deal with change — something that has been on my mind quite a bit lately. When I was younger, I welcomed change with open arms, eagerly seeking out new experiences and challenges. I couldn’t wait to see what new adventures awaited me around every corner. But now, as I’ve settled into my 40s, I’ve noticed that my approach to change has shifted. I’m a bit more cautious, a little slower to embrace the new and unfamiliar.
Transitioning into new things can be daunting, can’t it? Whether it’s starting a new job, moving to a different city or simply adopting a new routine, change often brings with it a sense of uncertainty. In our younger years, that uncertainty might have felt like excitement, but now it can feel more like a hurdle.
I’ve realized that this hesitation isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s a sign that I’ve grown more thoughtful, more deliberate in my choices. But it also means I need to remind myself that change, though sometimes uncomfortable, is often necessary for growth. The challenge is to balance that caution with the openness I once had — to find a way to embrace change, even when it feels difficult.
One thing that’s helped me is focusing on the small steps. Rather than diving headfirst into something new, I’ve learned to take things one day at a time, allowing myself to adjust gradually. This approach has made it easier to transition without feeling overwhelmed. It’s a way of being kind to myself, recognizing that it’s okay to move at my own pace.
Another thing I’ve found helpful is reconnecting with that younger version of myself — the one who wasn’t afraid to take risks and try new things. Sometimes, I ask myself what she would do in a given situation, and I try to channel a bit of that old enthusiasm. It’s a way of reminding myself that change can be exciting, even now.
As we all navigate the inevitable changes that life brings, let’s be gentle with ourselves. It’s okay to take things slow, to be a bit more measured in our approach. But let’s also remember that there’s growth and beauty in embracing the new, even when it’s a bit uncomfortable.
Here’s to embracing change — at our own pace.

Heaven’s destiny for the earthbound: The era of the Wright Stuff
PASTOR ZACH HARRIS FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH
Do you have a fascination with how to get to heaven? That’s nothing new. It’s been a human desire for as long as humans have been clawing their way along the earth’s surface. For most people, there is a place that is, as fellow fictional Geek, Sheldon, puts it: “My Spot!”—0, 0, 0, 0 on the cartesian coordinates of life. For me, that spot is about as specific as old Sheldon’s and rests a couple thousand miles east of Williston, on the Outer Banks of N.C. on the southeast corner of the Harris family’s cottage. It’s on a bench that sits at a round redwood table on the old screened-in porch perched on a plot of land that my dad helped pick out in 1933. It was the first cottage on the oceanfront along a sandy beach now with the name Kill Devil Hills, but before town names shifted was in the township of Kitty Hawk. Yep, that’s my spot if I want to be close to the Almighty, only a couple of feet above sea level, while so many others through the years sought to climb mountains to get “up” to heaven or THE heavens, and reach out to touch the hand of God.
Now, as a somewhat interesting twist of fate, the very pioneers for reaching for the literal heavens did so only about a half a mile away from “my spot” as the crow flies on Dec. 17, 1903. Orville and Wilbur were the ones who proved the old adage correct: “Two wrongs don’t make a right; but two Wrights make an airplane!” The Wright Brothers Memorial looms high on a stabi-
And could there be some connection in all that with the last word on that inscription, which quite literally is on one of the triune cornerstones of that monument: Faith?
of being in 1904 which is the year noted for the founding of the congregation, and that seems like a pretty significant place to start remembering the history of an institution designed to give our Faith a boost and help our Hope fly lifted on the wings of Love!
lized sand dune known to all around as simply “The Monument.” And it was within this past year that the whole world celebrated the 120th anniversary of when these two brothers, known as the Bishop’s Boys due to their dad’s occupation, left their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, to achieve heavier than air flight in N.C.! The inscription on the Monument declares: “In commemoration of the conquest of the air by the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright. Conceived by genius. Achieved by dauntless resolution and unconquerable faith.”
You may be wondering if indeed there might be some connection with someone who grew up with such an achievement kind of right in one’s own back yard, tying together the search for the creative and inventive aspects of life; maybe the catalyst for a fascination with NASA, the Apollo moon missions and even Space the Final Frontier?
Well, there is a big “YES!” to all of those. However, if you really want to know why for the moment I may be serving here in Williston, N.D., and yet in my mind I’m going to Carolina, well, for the moment, it really has more to do with time than place. You see we know the day and the hour of that first flight on 12/17/1903 at 10:35 EST lasting 12 seconds for 120 feet. But other timelines are less specific with only our recollections to show for it!
What I have unearthed is that 120 years ago, about the same era as the Wright’s first flight, First Lutheran Church in Williston got its start in a similar reach for the heavens. As one part of a celebration of that coincidence, I have built a 32-foot bulletin board outside the church offices at FLC with the intent of creating a time-line for the church’s history. The first time-marker is the Wright Brothers because their achievement is only two weeks short
There will be other notable touchstones to anchor us in history, but the interesting part of this project is when we open it up for folks to put in their own remembrances: Weddings, Baptisms, Confirmations, Best of Times, Hardest of Times and maybe even a stretch toward the dreams of the future. And trust me, I know that just as those 120 years weren’t just fueled by the family of those Bishop’s boys in flying to the moon, the history of that big edifice on Main St. hasn’t just been sustained by people who currently claim the congregation as home. So, whether you are reaching for heaven from a pew somewhere else or right down on 916 Main St., if you’ve had a part in the timeline, I hope you might drop by this fall and help us draw a picture of the past. I’m betting it will show how interconnected 120 years of history is in the world of Williston. Because hasn’t it always been those pioneers of “unconquerable faith” who tie us together and lift us higher than we could ever imagine by ourselves? Isn’t it God’s call to do these things not only in remembrance, but appreciation so others might take up the quest for those yet to come!

Fire department puts FEMA money to good use
Shared by RACHEL VENTURE on willistongraphic.com
Williston Fire and Rescue are attending a two-day crash course in emergency personnel and equipment management and leadership this week. The class is through the National Fire Academy, a branch of FEMA which supplies nine different classes to each state, and the town of Williston was selected for three of those classes.
The third class, entitled “Supervising Emergency Medical Services,” dealt with the management of ambulance services. EMS supervisors and battalion chiefs were asked to participate in the course to help them manage emergency services better and use taxpayer money with efficiency. Participants came as far as Devils Lake, Fargo and Grand Forks at the expense of the National Fire Academy to attend this course. The instructor, David Compton from the National Fire Academy, came from Missouri to lend his expertise and help educate Wil-
liston’s fire department. Corey Johnson of Williston hopes to keep this type of training local so that firefighters are available to work and train side by side.

Community members are encouraged to attend the open house to learn more about the innovative programs and facilities that will benefit students and the broader community for years to come.
Kinder Morgan pipeline conversion boosts Williston Basin’s natural gas infrastructure
WILLISTON GRAPHIC STAFF news@vocella.com
WILLISTON — Kinder Morgan is set to convert its "Double H" pipeline, which currently transports crude oil from the Bakken region to Guernsey, W.Y.,, into a natural gas liquids pipeline by 2026. The pipeline, which previously carried 48,000 barrels of oil daily, will now support the growing natural gas infrastructure needs of western North Dakota, particularly the Williston Basin.
Justin Kringstad, the State Pipeline Authority Director, hailed this conversion as a significant win for the Williston Basin. He emphasized the importance of aligning infrastructure for gathering, processing and transporting natural gas and its liquids. The Bakken region is renowned for its rich nat-
North Dakota Regulator Urges Overpass Before Natural Gas Plant Construction
WILLISTON GRAPHIC STAFF news@vocella.com
TRENTON — A North Dakota utility regulator is calling for the construction of a railroad overpass at Marley Crossing in Trenton before the start of a multi-billion dollar natural gas processing facility by Cerilon.
Randy Christmann, chair of the Public Service Commission emphasized the importance of addressing traffic concerns on Highway 1804, where trains frequently cause backups near the proposed site of the Cerilon plant. This facility, which officially opened on Aug. 2, aims to convert natural gas into diesel fuel and other products, potentially increasing traffic from trucks and employees.
The North Dakota Department of Transportation has been seeking federal grants for over three years to fund the overpass, which is crucial to managing the anticipated rise in traffic. The DOT is preparing another grant application for $2.4 million to fund the planning phase of the overpass. However, the project could take several years and cost around $50 million, with additional grant funding likely needed for construc-
tion.
Christmann argued that the overpass should be built before construction of the Cerilon plant begins to avoid significant disruptions in Trenton and the surrounding area. Local residents have expressed concerns about traffic during a June public hearing, further highlighting the need for infrastructure improvements.
Commissioner Julie Fedorchak suggested that the state could finance the project using tax revenues from the oil and gas industry rather than relying on federal grants. Cerilon, in response, stated that the overpass project would be the state’s responsibility and that the company would not be involved in its design or implementation.
As discussions continue, the PSC has yet to decide on Cerilon's siting application, with another work session potentially needed before a final vote.

ural gas resources, particularly high percentages of valuable natural gas liquids like propanes and butanes. Kringstad highlighted the critical need for more infrastructure to process, transport and market these liquids domestically and for export.
This development marks a key step forward, though Kringstad noted that additional infrastructure will be necessary to fully capitalize on the region’s world-class natural gas resources.

WILLISTON — AgCountry Farm Credit Services has awarded a $25,000 grant to the Williston State College Foundation through the Rural Community Grant Fund. The funds will be used to support a new Certified Medical Assistant training program at Williston State College.
The CMA program, which is expected to begin enrolling students as early as the fall semester of 2024, will provide rigorous academic and hands-on clinical training to healthcare professionals. The program aims to address the growing demand for healthcare workers in western North Dakota, particularly in areas impacted by the oil and gas industry. The program will be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Allied Health Education Programs and will operate within Stevens Hall on the WSC campus until a new facility is completed by the fall semester of 2025.
"The geographic area this program reaches will allow individuals to stay close to home for their education and increase the chances of remaining in the region to work,” said David Hokanson, vice president and branch manager with AgCountry Farm Credit Services in Williston. “It will also fulfill the need for quality healthcare in the region.”
Dr. Bernell Hirning, president of WSC, expressed gratitude for AgCountry's support, noting that the grant will help the college make significant strides in training a highly skilled healthcare workforce for northwest North Dakota and eastern Montana.
AgCountry Farm Credit Services, along with Farm Credit Services of Mandan and AgriBank, established the RCGF to support community projects in rural areas of western North Dakota affected by mineral exploration.
The RCGF is currently accepting applications for future funding requests through its website, www.AgCountry.com.

Williston Welcomes Katie Ledecky for Book Signing at James Memorial Arts Center
WILLISTON GRAPHIC STAFF news@vocella.com
Williston is preparing to welcome Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky, the most decorated female swimmer in history, for a special book signing event on Saturday, Aug. 31, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the James Memorial Arts Center, 621 1st Ave. W. Ledecky will be
signing copies of her memoir, Just Add Water: My Swimming Life, which offers readers an in-depth look at her journey from a young swimmer to a global sports icon.
Books on Broadway, a beloved local bookstore, is hosting the event, which is expected to draw a large crowd, necessitating the larger venue to accommodate as many fans as possible. Chuck Wilder, the store’s owner, shared his deep connection to Ledecky and his excitement for the event.
"I’ve known Katie since she was a tod-
Book Signing — Meet & Greet
Katie Ledecky, a 2024 Olympian, has won nine Olympic golds and 21 world championship golds, the most by any female swimmer. She is the most decorated female swimmer and ranks fifth in Olympic history for total medals. And she’s coming to Williston!

dler. Her mother would come visit with her and Michael. It has been a pleasure to see her grow up," Wilder said. "Books on Broadway is her favorite bookstore. She is very down to earth and humble. She still hasn't forgotten her roots in Williston."
Ledecky, 27, has cemented her place as one of the greatest swimmers of all time. With nine Olympic gold medals and 14 Olympic medals overall, she holds the record as the most decorated female Olympic swimmer, the most decorated American woman, and the female athlete with the most gold medals (tied with Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina). Her dominance in the sport was on full display at the recent Paris Olympics, where she secured a silver in the 400-meter freestyle, a gold in the 1,500-meter freestyle, and another gold in the 800-meter freestyle—her fourth consecutive Olympic victory in that event. This achievement ties her with Latynina for the most Olympic golds by a female athlete.
Ledecky's memoir, Just Add Water, offers a glimpse into the life of an athlete who has remained remarkably focused on her own journey rather than getting caught up in rivalries or controversies. The book reaffirms the values that have guided Ledecky throughout her career. Mostly chronological, the memoir covers key moments in her life, such as her childhood, her time at Stanford, and her experiences at the Olympic Games.
Reflecting on Ledecky's decision to start her book signing tour in Williston, Wilder said, "It means a lot to me. I’m humbled she
chose Williston for her first book signing. I think she will have a large impact on the community. It shows that I and my late wife are doing good things with the bookstore."
Ledecky's personal connection to Williston is evident in her memoir, where she reflects on her roots and the influence of her family, particularly her grandmother, Kathleen Hagan, who still lives in the town at 98 years old. "Her personal attachment to Williston was very flattering," Wilder noted. "We don’t get many world-class athletes around here, so it is an exciting opportunity for the community."
Preparing for the event has been a significant undertaking for Wilder and his team. "Dealing with the large turnout is a lot to consider and put together. Getting the site and the books ordered was a challenge, but we are happy to respect her requirements," he said. "We can’t have her signing anything but books for now."
For those unable to attend the book signing in person, signed copies of Just Add Water can be reserved by contacting Books on Broadway. Reflecting on the significance of the event, Wilder said, "Overall, I feel humbled. She has made a large impression on all of us. Her book is an excellent read— very inspirational."
For more information or to reserve a signed copy, contact Books on Broadway at 701-572-1433 or email bksbdwy@nemontel.net.

Don't fall for it!
Did you know that falls account for nearly one-third of all non-fatal injuries in the U.S., according to Injury Facts? Because the aging process can affect vision, strength and balance, older adults are at elevated risk for falls. According to CDC data, more than one in four older adults have at least one fall every year, but fewer than half tell their doctor.
Falling has caused more than three million emergency department visits and over 800,000 hospitalizations due to severe injuries. For some people, falls result in embarrassment, skinned knees or broken bones. For others, falls can signal the beginning of lifestyle changes, or even lead to death. Falls among adults 65 and older caused more than 38,000 deaths in 2021. However, falls are not a natural part of aging and can be prevented. You can identify simple steps that can make a big difference and help you stay healthy and independent.
• Take a Falls Risk self-assessment (available online) and talk to your doctor.
• Keep up your balance and strength. If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. Keep your mobility active and practice exercises at home or with a group. There are several recommended exercises to do and are completely modifiable even from a chair.
• Make your home safer. Clear the floor from small furniture, rugs, cords and clutter. Add grab bars and rails where necessary. Add lighting to low dim ar-
eas, including nightlights. Put essential items within easy reach to prevent unnecessary reaching and leaning to get items.
• Have your eyes and medications checked annually. Changes in eyesight can cause blurry/fuzzy vision or affect depth perception. Medications can have side effects that cause drowsiness, dizziness, brain fog or blood pressure changes. These can all cause an increased risk of falling.
• Take part in a Falls Prevention Program that is educational, local and free. NDSU Extension offers a fall preven-
tion workshop, called Stepping On, that is available several times a year throughout the state. Stepping On is a nationally recognized program that is focused on giving you the knowledge you need to be able to recognize risks and the power to prevent a fall from occurring. The program includes seven weekly sessions that cover different topics related to falls and brings in local experts to talk about your risks and answer questions. If you are looking to attend one of these workshops, you’re in luck — Williams County NDSU Extension is offering a Stepping On workshop this September through October in Williston. Contact your extension office at 701-577-4595 to get registered and find out more information.
To learn more about falls, visit these websites: the National Council on Aging, Stepping On and STEADI. Until next time, continue extending knowledge and changing lives with NDSU Extension.

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.
