From the Designer: This Issue
Dear Valued Readers, I want to talk about something that I’ve struggled with personally: doom scrolling. It’s that endless, almost compulsive urge to keep scrolling through social media, news feeds or other content, even when you know it’s not making you feel better—and it turns out there’s a reason for that. Doom scrolling is actually tied to our brain’s craving for dopamine, the “feel-good” chemical that’s released when we experience something rewarding.
Dopamine is what keeps us hooked, giving us little hits of pleasure every time we scroll to something new. But here’s the catch: while we’re chasing that dopamine rush, we’re often bombarding ourselves with negative news and distressing content, which can actually increase stress, anxiety, and feelings of helplessness. It’s a vicious cycle—one that I’ve found myself caught in more often than I’d like to admit.
One thing that’s helped me break the cycle is finding a way to occupy my phone without constantly looking at it. For me, that means playing a show I’ve watched several times before. I put on my headphones and let it play in the background. Because I already know what’s happening in the show, I don’t feel the need to watch it, but it keeps my phone occupied so I’m not tempted to scroll through social media. Plus, I still get those little dopamine boosts from hearing a funny or heartwarming moment, without the constant barrage of negative content.
There are other methods that can help, too. Setting time limits on social media apps, turning off notifications or even dedicating specific times of the day for checking your feeds can create boundaries that help prevent doom scrolling. Another effective strategy is to replace the habit with something more positive, like reading a book, going for a walk or practicing mindfulness. The key is to recognize when you’re mindlessly scrolling and consciously choose to engage in something healthier.
Doom scrolling doesn’t just waste our time—it can also take a toll on our mental health. By finding ways to manage this habit, we can reclaim our time and focus on activities that truly nourish our well-being.
Here’s to breaking the cycle and finding more meaningful ways to spend our time!

Youth deer season opens Sept. 13
NORTH DAKOTA GAME & FISH
NORTH DAKOTA — Friday, Sept. 13 at noon central time signals the start of a nine-and-a-half-day deer hunting season for licensed youth hunters. Residents who are 11, 12 or 13 in 2024 can hunt statewide for antlerless white-tailed deer.
Resident deer gun hunters who are 14 or 15 in 2024 can hunt statewide with a youth season license for any deer, except for antlered mule deer in units 3B1, 3B2, 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E and 4F where a special license is required.
Dakota Prairie Quilters honor history with Underground Railroadinspired quilt
ARC on the third Wednesday of the month for handwork of any kind. Everyone is welcome to join these events.
The youth license is valid during the youth deer season, closes Sept. 22, and the regular deer gun season, open from Nov. 8-24.
After opening day, hunting hours are a half-hour before sunrise to a half-hour after sunset. Orange clothing is required for youth hunters and mentors.
Each young deer hunter must be under direct supervision of an adult. The adult is prohibited from carrying a firearm or bow while accompanying the youth hunter in the field during the youth season.
WILLISTON — In the mid-1800s, African Americans were enslaved and forced to labor for owners who bought and sold them as property, often tearing families apart. The Dakota Prairie Quilters Guild members have studied this painful history, particularly as it relates to their passion for quilts and quilting.
This year’s raffle quilt is inspired by the story of the Underground Railroad. Each block in the quilt holds a meaning. For instance, the Log Cabin block signaled a safe house for escaping slaves. Other blocks, such as the Monkey Wrench and Wagon Wheel, had their own symbolic messages guiding slaves toward freedom in Canada.
The Dakota Prairie Quilt Guild meets on the second Saturday of each month at 1 p.m. at The James Memorial Preservation Society. Additionally, members gather at the
The raffle quilt is the guild’s primary fundraiser for each biennium. Proceeds help the guild bring in national and regional quilt teachers, support local initiatives like providing quilts to babies in medical emergencies, foster care children and police and fire departments. A portion of the raffle earnings is also donated to a local charity. Members also contribute to the Springbrook Bible Camp’s quilt auction and make Christmas stockings for children at the Family Crisis Shelter and Eckert Youth Home.
Raffle tickets are available from Dakota Prairie Quilters Guild members, The Empty Bobbin/Fresh Palette and Just Peachy Quilting. They will also be sold at the James Memorial Art Center every Saturday in September. The drawing for the raffle quilt will take place at 3 p.m. on Sept. 29.
Measure 4 could halt new school construction and strain local services
WILLISTON GRAPHIC STAFF news@vocella.com
NORTH DAKOTA — The financial implications of Measure 4, which seeks to eliminate property taxes in North Dakota, are far greater than initially estimated, putting the state’s ability to support local governments and schools at risk.
At an Aug. 23 meeting, tax commissioner Brian Kroshus informed the N.D. Legislature's Management Committee that the cost of replacing lost property tax revenue could reach $3.15 billion for the 20252026 biennium — about $500 million more than earlier projections. If the measure passes, the state will be required to reimburse schools and local governments based on the revenue they collected from property taxes in 2024. Previous estimates from the Legislative Council pegged the cost at $2.6 billion per biennium.
The situation is even more dire when other local needs are considered. Mott Senator Don Schaible, who chairs an interim School Funding Task Force, warned that removing the ability to levy property taxes for bond measures would leave school districts unable to fund new facilities.
Edinburg Senator Janne Myrdal, who leads the interim Judiciary Committee, echoed these concerns, noting that her constituents are calling for more state support for local law enforcement. However, she pointed out that with limited resources, the legislature may not have the means to offer additional help.
Myrdal criticized the measure as "a sledgehammer of a measure, instead of looking at it with intelligent eyes," and emphasized the significant work lawmakers face in the next 60 days to prepare for its potential passage.

Through a Lutheran Lens
Family: The labor of love
PASTOR ZACH HARRIS FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH
Labor Day weekend has now come and gone. Of note, for most of us this marks the actual end of summer. Vacations are over. Kids are heading back to schools. The seriousness of fall and getting back to business is upon us. And frolicking in sun and water is in the rearview mirror as the next signpost for such frivolity is in the windshield up ahead beckoning us toward that vast time known as “the holidays.” Connecting both times is a common theme, the calling together of that Norman Rockwell ideal we know as “Family.”
Now perhaps you are like me and just this past weekend celebrated the close of summer with a gathering of the whole gang, and were able to reflect a little on what we mean by that very common term. I don’t remember the American artist Norman Rockwell doing one of his Saturday Evening Post covers with a family BBQ, but I do recall the famed Thanksgiving portrait. In it, the matriarch and patriarch are at the head of the table setting the main dish in place while the next two generations sit in formal wear at the meticulously well-appointed table with smiles in grateful anticipation. The warmth, happiness, and unity of the family glows above the stunning white tablecloth that seems almost like an altar cloth as a base for this sacred gathering. Sound like what you experienced last
weekend? Yeah, me neither!
My experience: less Norman Rockwell—more Drew Holcomb. Now, offhand you might not recognize that name, but Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors has a song entitled “Family,” that seems a bit more accurate. It has been used in a number of commercials, most notably for me during the pandemic in May of 2020 in a Tyson Foods commercial touting “Feeding Families since 1935.” It’s kind of a folk song vibe with a choir-like chant of the simple word “FAMILY” highlighted between each line. Verse one starts us off: “FAMILY— Singing in the kitchen [now just imagine the single word FAMILY between each line that follows where you see the dash]— Running through the yard—Going on vacation—On the credit card.” Verse two starts to get real: “On the way to the city— Laughing in the rain—It ain't always pretty—Can drive you insane—Got the keys to the kingdom—Take it a la carte—All four seasons—Well, bless your heart!” (A southern translation note for those unaware: the previous phrase is used in instances when one wants to say something vastly true but negative and then undo any intention of being mean-spirited such as in—“Why he’s as stupid as a fence post—Bless his heart!”) And finally, the bridge brings the point home:
You don't choose 'em, you can't lose 'em
We all have a song to sing
Some are crazy, some are amazing
All got a little bit of everything
Now to get the full gist, my recollection of that commercial is that as this
song is playing, chaos is in the images in the background. No one dressed in finery, but real life. Dogs and kids running amok.
Spills and chills and not a white table cloth left to be seen. Smiles and laughter sure, but tears and jeers along the way. And maybe your BBQ had some disagreements or flat-out fights. Maybe someone didn’t have the perfect dish to serve or even a spilled plate on someone’s lap. And even if it wasn’t said in the same way, a “Bless your heart!” moment or two. But the one thing that’s

The positive youth development of 4-H
Have you heard of 4-H?
4-H is America’s largest youth development organization—empowering nearly six million young people through Extension within 100 public universities, providing experiences where young people learn by doing. For more than 100 years, 4-H has welcomed young people of all beliefs and backgrounds, giving kids a voice to express who they are and how they make their lives and communities better. With over 50 project areas and 300+ interactive activities available across the topics of agriculture, STEM, healthy living and civic engagement, there truly is opportunity for all.
Youth that are involved in 4-H:
• are four times more likely to give back to their communities
• are two times more likely to make healthier choices
• are two times more likely to participate in STEM activities
• participate in 5 million STEM projects annually
• participate in 2.5 million healthy living projects annually
• participate in 2.5 million civic engagement projects annually
The goal of 4-H is to empower young people to be true leaders. True leaders are young people who have confidence, know how to work well with others, can endure through challenges and will stick with a job until it gets done. In 4-H, we believe true leaders aren’t born – they’re grown. With the guidance of adult mentors, the youth are in charge of their own clubs and get to choose the programs and curriculum that they want to learn about. 4-H is truly youth led and volunteer driven.
Joining a 4-H club is just the begin-
ning. Opportunities are limitless as a 4-H member, with access to program curriculums, learning workshops, activity kits, youth camps, group trips and contest competitions. If you would like to join, you’re in luck. The 4-H year begins in September, with the registering of new and returning youth ages 5-18. Williams County currently has 12 clubs with over 230 4-H members and continues to grow each year. Contact the Williams County Extension office to find out more information about clubs, available programs and how to enroll your child.
To learn more about the national 4-H organization, visit the website at https://4-h.org/. Until next time, continue extending knowledge and changing lives with NDSU Extension.your extension office at 701-577-4595 to get registered and find out more information.
probably true about all those gatherings is the central ingredient beyond the food, and even the love, and that’s gracious forgiveness that comes in the form of absolute acceptance. Afterall, we’re still FAMILY!
Some churches liken themselves as “Family,” but forget that central ingredient even though that is the heart and soul of our Perfect Lord’s message of Love to such an imperfect world. You know the kind of message that a Father might impart to a Son in hopes that the message might just pass on down the line. It’s the kind of sentiment that gives hope when one remembers the promises of Baptism, that God don’t make no junk, nor does he leave them alone. It’s a message of sacred Love to the wacky relatives the world might say we should judge. But you see, the world doesn’t realize we’re related: ‘cause we’re all kin in the Creator. Rockwell we ain’t. God’s we are!
And the song ends: “Sons and daughters—Like a photograph—Baptized in the water—Put me on the map—All in this together—We're taking a chance—Like birds of a feather—Kick off your shoes and dance.” Afterall, sometimes being Family is work: a labor of Love. But it should always ultimately bring us to a celebration for life!
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.
