Miller highlights benefits to ag, energy

at ribbon cutting for Green Bison soybean crush in Spiritwood SPIRITWOOD, N.D. – Lt. Gov. Tammy Miller today joined officials from ADM and Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC) at the Spiritwood Energy Park to celebrate the completion of the Green Bison Soy Processing plant, North Dakota’s first dedicated soybean processing plant, highlighting the project’s benefits to the state’s agriculture and energy sectors.

NORTH DAKOTA LT. GOVERNOR, TAMMY MILLER

Miller helped cut the ribbon on the $350 million Green Bison facility, a joint venture of ADM and MPC that will process up to 150,000 bushels of soybeans per day and supply vegetable oil as a feedstock for MPC’s renewable diesel refinery in Dickinson. Green Bison will produce

up to 600 million pounds of refined soybean oil per year while also generating nearly 1.3 million tons of soybean meal to support animal agriculture production in the region. The facility began accepting soybeans on Sept. 18. “This is truly the beginning of a new era for soybean growers in North Dakota,” Miller said. “No longer will they need to ship nearly their entire soybean crop out of state. With this partnership between ADM and Marathon Petroleum, those soybeans will be purchased and processed right here at home, in North Dakota. Processed into valuable soybean meal and into oil for renewable diesel, adding value to both our ag-

riculture and energy industries. We are deeply grateful for ADM and Marathon’s investment in our economy. We are equally grateful for our farmers, who are the backbone of North Dakota.” Green Bison is located in the Spiritwood Energy Park, an industrial park with over 500 acres about 10 miles east of Jamestown. Gov. Doug Burgum and his administration worked with ADM and MPC, as well as other state agencies, North Dakota’s congressional delegation and local economic development leaders in Jamestown and Stutsman County, to secure ADM as a tenant in the park, converting the former Cargill Malt facility into a soybean crushing plant.

National tobacco use data show mixed results for teens MIKE MOEN PRAIRIE NEWS SERVICE

Cigarettes may not appeal to America's youth like they did in the 1960s, but a significant number still experiment with e-cigarettes. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has new data that show the use of e-cigarettes by high school students declined in the past year, but rose among middle schoolers. From 2022 to 2023, said CDC epidemiologist Jan Birdsey, e-cigarette use among high school students declined from roughly 14% to 10%. But the news about usage among younger students was not as encouraging. "We did find among middle-school students

significant increases in the current use of at least one tobacco product and the use of multiple tobacco products," she said. "We're still seeing the e-cigarettes as the most commonly-used product among both middle and high-school students." North Dakota health officials say more than 21% of high-school age students reported using electronic nicotine devices. That's according to findings issued last year. Twenty-three percent of 8th graders had said they tried using an electronic vapor product. To quit, Birdsey recommended the website teen. smokefree.gov or by calling 1-800-QuitNow. E-cigarettes have been found to be less harmful than regular cigarettes be-

cause they contain fewer led an estimated 40% of habit by the mid-1960s. toxic chemicals but they are Americans to take up the not considered safe by the CDC because they're known to harm adolescent brain development. Birdsey said not surprisingly, many who report using them are drawn to kid-friendly flavors. "About nine out of 10 users of e-cigarettes were using a flavored product such as fruit, candy and other sweets, mint or menthol," she said, "so, flavors increase the appeal of the products, encourage experimentation and can contribute to that lifelong tobacco use." The data show about half of students who have tried e-cigarettes reported still using them. A lack of information about the dangers of smoking cigarettes

Nurturing a healthy work-life balance

In the relentless pursuit of success and career ambitions, the delicate equilibrium between professional commitments and personal well-being often teeters on the brink. Achieving a sustainable work-life balance is not just an elusive ideal; it’s a crucial element for long-term success and fulfillment. Defining balance: Striking a balance doesn’t mean splitting your life into neat halves. It’s about integrating work and personal life in a way that fosters productivity, creativity and overall happiness. Setting boundaries: Establishing clear boundaries is fundamental. Learn to say no when necessary, set

realistic expectations and communicate your limits to colleagues and family members. Prioritizing self-care: Just as deadlines and meetings demand attention, selfcare deserves a spot on your to-do list. Adequate sleep, regular exercise and moments of relaxation are not luxuries but necessities for sustained productivity. Time management mastery: Efficient time man-

agement is the linchpin of work-life balance. Prioritize tasks, delegate when possible, and embrace productivity tools that can streamline your workflow. Unplug and recharge: In an era dominated by digital connectivity, the concept of leaving work at the office has evolved. Establish dedicated periods to unplug, allowing for genuine relaxation and quality time with loved ones.

Quality over quantity: Focus on the quality of your work rather than the quantity of hours logged. Productivity flourishes when you’re engaged and energized, not when you’re tethered to a desk for marathon hours. Family and social connections: Nurture relationships outside of the workplace. Spending time with family and friends not only rejuvenates your spirit but

also provides a crucial support system. Embracing flexibility: Recognize that balance is a dynamic concept. Embrace flexibility in your approach, adjusting to the ebb and flow of life’s demands. Achieving a harmonious work-life balance is an ongoing journey. It requires self-awareness, adaptability and a commitment to well-being. Remember, a balanced life isn’t a compromise; it’s an investment in a sustainable and fulfilling future. So, as you navigate the intricate dance between your professional aspirations and personal joys, savor the rhythm and find your unique cadence in the symphony of life.

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” — Anne Lamott

Cross-generational housing mentorships close community gaps in ND MIKE MOEN PRAIRIE NEWS SERVICE

As the weather turns colder, two groups of people in one North Dakota city that are generations apart appear to be in good

shape to navigate housing issues that might surface this winter and beyond. It’s the result of a mentorship initiative. The Bringing Generations Together project in Grand Forks was funded by

an AARP Community Challenge grant. Nearly 20 college students were paired with 10 older residents in an area near the University of North Dakota campus. Shaylee Miller, project coordinator with Bringing Generations Together, said throughout the fall, the students helped with home and yard tasks while the older residents shared generational wisdom on life skills, including working with landlords. “I really see this project as providing a space for these generations to connect

in a way that they might not have had the chance to before,” she explained. And for the younger residents, Miller hopes they learned a greater sense of community they can bring with them to other towns and cities after graduation. Project leaders say as the initial phase winds down, they are getting positive feedback from participants. With some funding left over, they hope to revive the initiative in the spring. As older adults juggle costs for things such as medication, Miller said

having the students help with certain tasks can ease some of the financial pressure their mentors might be facing. “So, having students come to your home for an hour to rake [leaves], that can be huge -- not having to pay for a service to do that,” Miller added.

Tribal advocates want more public accommodations for DAPL process MIKE MOEN PRAIRIE NEWS SERVICE

Public comment on an aspect of the controversial Dakota Access oil pipeline runs through mid-December. In the meantime, Native American voices are calling attention to the process, suggesting their input is being held back. Those sentiments arose during last week’s public hearings in Bismarck, led by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The agency is gathering feedback on an environmental assessment of several options proposed earlier this year. But some attendees were concerned about having to provide their testi-

mony in an enclosed space without the rest of the audience hearing it. Nicole Donaghy, executive director of North Dakota Native Vote, said that approach missed the mark. “It does affect the audience’s ability to hear the other side and to hear subjective testimony,” said Donaghy, “hopefully hear something that they haven’t thought of before regarding this pipeline.” The Corps changed the process for the last day, allowing people to speak in an open setting. But Donaghy noted attendance was smaller by then. The agency did not respond to a request for comment.

The pipeline drew global attention over protests several years ago about potential environmental harm to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The pipeline is still operating as the latest permit is considered. Among the options are to reroute the pipeline, keep it as is, remove sections of it, or abandon it. Many tribal advocates call on federal officials to permanently halt Dakota Access. And Donaghy urged the Corps to be more accommodating before a decision is made. “I would like the Army Corps to hold field hearings on the reservations,” said Donaghy. “I would like for them to release the redacted

Bright Stories for a Better World Lawyer and TikTok Star, Lolo, Mobilizes Followers to Provide Winter Coats for NYC Homeless Alex Clavering, known as Lolo on TikTok, is a lawyer and content creator who often blends pop culture humor with thoughtful commentary and advocacy. In a recent earnest moment, Lolo, who works as a criminal attorney with New York’s Legal Aid Society, asked his 800,000 TikTok followers for help in providing winter coats for homeless individuals in New York City. He directed viewers to a wish list in his profile, featuring 500 winter coats priced at around $50 each. The coats would be distributed through a project called Connie’s Closet. Lolo highlighted the challenges faced by people living on the streets in New York City, emphasizing that shelters can be dangerous and overcrowded, especially for young individuals, including teenagers. Expressing gratitude for his followers, Lolo assured them that the jackets purchased would go to those who genuinely need them to survive. Within ten hours of posting the video, an update revealed that over 175 jackets, totaling almost $10,000, had been bought. Due to high demand for a particular jacket, Lolo added more options, including gloves for a more affordable donation option. However, even the gloves were quickly sold out. Responding to suggestions from commenters, Lolo expanded the wish list to include items like long underwear, wool socks, and pocket warmers. In an emotional moment, he shared a thank-you email from a coordinator of the coat drive, expressing gratitude for the generosity. Despite his comedic style, Lolo’s followers embraced the call to action, and many celebrated the positive impact of their collective efforts. The initiative not only provided tangible help to homeless individuals but also showcased the potential for social media platforms to mobilize communities for meaningful causes.
