Dear Valued Readers,
Procrastination – we all grapple with it at some point, and I for one, am willing to admit I am guilty of it. It's that sneaky thief of time that convinces us that tomorrow is a better day for today's tasks. But today, let’s talk about overcoming this all-too-common obstacle and reclaiming our productivity.
Procrastination often stems from a place of overwhelm. We see the mountain of tasks before us and feel paralyzed. The key is to break down these daunting tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Start with something simple and tangible. It could be as small as organizing your desk or responding to one email. Each completed task, no matter how small, is a victory that builds momentum.
Next, let's talk about prioritizing. Not all tasks are created equal. Use the Eisenhower Matrix to categorize your tasks into four quadrants: urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important and neither urgent nor important. This method helps you focus on what truly matters and avoid getting bogged down by less critical tasks.
Another powerful tool in battling procrastination is setting specific goals and deadlines. Vague goals like "work on project" are less motivating than specific ones like "complete project outline by Friday." Deadlines, even self-imposed ones, create a sense of urgency and help keep you on track.
Don't underestimate the power of your environment. A cluttered space can lead to a cluttered mind. Dedicate a clean, organized area for work to help maintain focus. Additionally, minimize distractions by turning off notifications or using apps designed to block distracting websites.
One of the biggest barriers to productivity is perfectionism. It's easy to fall into the trap of waiting for the "perfect" moment or fearing that our work isn't good enough. Remember, progress is better than perfection. Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them.
Lastly, take care of yourself. Regular breaks, adequate sleep and physical activity are essential for maintaining mental clarity and energy. Sometimes, the best way to combat procrastination is to step away from work, recharge and return with renewed focus.
By implementing these strategies, you can start to see progress where procrastination once held sway. Embrace the satisfaction that comes from completing tasks and moving forward with your goals. Here’s to a more productive, procrastination-free you!

In the earlier years of the “Williston Graphic,” the Williams County newspaper that printed from 1895-1919, print space was reserved for stories and commentaries amongst the news of the day.
In the June 21, 1906 issue, three short stories, that occupied much column space, were published in the eight-page paper. Drawn illustrations aided in the story telling as helpful tips and instructions added to the paper’s content. One article told of how silk voile gowns were in style, another explained how to make a kite that will “climb the wind,” and yet another instructed how to make a stick and string ball game that can be played on a table for “much amusement.” Intermingled among these lifestyle articles was this illustrated comic of “Questions Worth Answering.” | Clipping found on the Library of Congress website, loc.gov.
This week marks the official start of summer ‘24. Although the weather hasn’t felt like a normal June in North Dakota, warmer temperatures are bound to come. Living in this northwest corner of the state has its benefits with access to Lake Sakakawea and other local water destinations for ample summer recreation.
Williams County is responsible for six parks, including five that offer camping opportunities and amenities: Blacktail Dam, Epping Springbrook Dam, Little Egypt, McGregor Dam, Kota Ray Dam and Lookout Park. Each campground provides affordable camping among the prairies and hills of Williams County.
Blacktail Dam
Blacktail Dam is located 25 miles north of Williston and offers waterfront camping, picnic areas, boating access, playgrounds and a designated swimming area. The dam is also surrounded by lake homes and provides its visitors with a nine-hole golf course with a $5 suggested donation.
Amenities include beach access, boat ramp, fish cleaning station, fishing platform, ice for sale, picnic pavilions, playground, restrooms, RV dump station, coin-operated showers and potable and non-potable water.
Blacktail Dam campground offers a lottery for five seasonal sites. This year’s lottery is currently closed but will open back up in the spring for the 2025 camping season. Seasonal sites run from May 1 - October 1 yearly.
Reservable camping at Blacktail includes nine primitive and tent sites, 55 electrical sites and one group site.
Epping Springbrook Dam
The Epping Springbrook Dam is located 15 miles east of Williston, offering camping, a fishing pier, picnic areas, a playground and beach access. The campground has 12
electrical campsites and primitive camping anywhere on park land, with campfires only allowed in designated fire rings.
Amenities for Epping Springbrook dam include beach access, boat ramp, fishing platform, picnic pavilions, playground, restrooms, RV dump station and non-potable water. Motorized and non-motorized watercraft are allowed, but it is a no-wake lake. The park offers hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on its trails.
The Epping Springbrook Dam has three LG Sonic algae control buoys that use ultrasound technology to reduce algae build-up in the lake and conduct water quality monitoring. The county asks that people do not touch or interfere with these buoys and to report any problems to the Williams County Parks director.
Little Egypt
Little Egypt is located 30 miles south of Ray on the shore of Lake Sakakawea on land owned by the U. S. Army Corps but managed by Williams County Parks. It is a waterfront park offering picnic areas, camping and direct access to Lake Sakakawea with a large beach area.
Amenities include beach access, picnic pavilions, playground, restrooms, RV dump station and water. The park offers four dedicated primitive campsites, with camping allowed anywhere on park land. Twenty-one electric and water hookup campsites are available. The park’s well water is considered potable, but users are cautioned that it has high levels of iron.
Kayaks and canoes can be launched from the beach while larger boats can be put in at the boat ramps at Lunds Landing Lewis and Clark State Park or Little Beaver Bay. McGregor Dam
McGregor Dam is located 15 miles north of Tioga and offers camping, fishing,
boat ramp and fishing.
Amenities for this campground include restrooms, a playground, picnic pavilions, fishing piers and a boat ramp. Camping at McGregor Dam is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays due to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s rules for Wildlife Management Areas. Boating in motorized and non-motorized watercraft are allowed, but the lake is no wake.
Primitive camping is allowed anywhere on park land with 17 electric campsites available. Campsites are first come, first served and fees of cash or check only and must be paid upon arrival.
Kota Ray Dam
Kota Ray Dam is located 10 miles south of Ray and offers fishing, camping, boating access and picnic shelters.
The dam has beach access, boat ramp, fishing platform, picnic areas, playground, restrooms, RV dump station and non-potable water. Primitive camping is allowed anywhere on the park as well as 19 electric campsites.
Kota Ray Dam is currently closed to visitors until further notice as improvements are being made to the park under the Parks Master Plan.
The Parks Department and the County Park Board are responsible for managing the campgrounds, with Jeremy Ludlum as the department head and director. The county can be reached at 701-580-1628 or online at williamsnd.com.
The county website offers a way to explore its parks through their visually interactional “Tour the Parks” link. There, photos, maps and aerial views of each park can be viewed.
Reservations for Williams County campgrounds, aside from McGregor Dam, can be made on-
line at www.williamsnd.com/departments/ parks. On-site payment of cash or check is accepted at all campgrounds. A maximum of 14 days is permitted, with primitive sites at $10 per night and $15 per night for sites with electrical hookups. Check-in begins at 3 p.m. and check-out is at 2 p.m.

news@vocella.comWILLISTON — Cerilon, a Canada-based company, plans to build a multi-billion dollar facility in Williams County to convert natural gas into liquid products. This project will also include carbon capture and storage. The facility, slated to be the first large-scale,
natural-gas-fed gas-to-liquids plant in North America, is under review by the North Dakota Public Service Commission. A hearing was held Monday in Williston, where Cerilon GTL ND Inc. will seek a siting permit.
Williams County has approved the project, but it still requires PSC and North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality approvals. Cerilon has identified potential sites for carbon storage and is collaborating
WILLISTON — People testifying Monday at a North Dakota Public Service Commission hearing about a natural gas conversion plant were instead directing their complaints at the Department of Transportation.
“The whole 1804 corridor there, it’s just really terrible,” said Jonie Slater, one of several residents in the Trenton area that said traffic needs to be fixed before a potential natural gas conversion plant is built.
Cerilon’s natural gas plant would add rail and truck traffic – an estimated 78 tanker trucks per day to the area along state Highway 1804 between Trenton and Williston. That’s after a construction period that would bring its own traffic challenges.
“It needs to be resolved before the fact,” David Hoffman said of the traffic he deals with as a farmer near Trenton. “That’s not the responsibility of Cerilon to take that on, that’s the responsibility of the state of North Dakota.”
Slater said there needs to be a bypass around Trenton, a town southwest of Williston. She said a turn lane planned on 1804 will help a little but that won’t help with trains blocking the road she lives on.
Another resident, Shannon Hurley, said she has sat in front of a non-moving train for up to an hour with a 5-year-old in the car.
Hoffman noted that taxes on the oil and gas industry in northwest North Dakota have built up the state’s Legacy Fund, which now sits at more than $10 billion, but residents of the Oil Patch aren’t getting relief from the dangerous roads and traffic.
While they may not want to be neighbors to a gas processing plant, most of the public comments were complimentary of Cerilon, the Canadian company behind the project.
It would take natural gas, a byproduct of oil production, converting into higher value products including lubricants and diesel fuel. The estimated cost of phase one at $3.2 billion with a second phase that is expected to be comparable.
Each Cerilon GTL ND facility will be able to convert 240 million cubic feet per day of natural gas to 24,000 barrels per day
of liquid hydrocarbon products. It would also generate more electricity than it would use, selling power to Basin Electric. It would draw water from the Missouri River but would return as much water as it uses, company officials said.
Cerilon officials testified that the company chose the site for its proximity to the Northern Border natural gas pipeline, underground storage areas for carbon capture and access to rail and trucking.
In particular, Niel Erasmus, project director for Cerilon, noted being next to the Savage train and truck loading facility.
He said Cerilon would load about 78 tanker trucks and 30 railcars on a daily basis. He said some of the diesel would be distributed locally in Williams County.
Erasmus listed several logistical hurdles for getting the plant built, including the need to upgrade the road to the plant to handle the weight of some of the plant’s equipment.
He said the company is already working with transportation officials in North Dakota and Minnesota on a plan for hauling large reactors that will come by ship to the Port of Duluth that may be too heavy for some bridges. There also are areas where electrical lines may need to be lifted.
In addition to traffic, area residents expressed concerns about noise, light and water pollution.
Regulators asked Cerilon to provide more detailed information about a noise reduction plan. With the gas-to-liquids plant being the first of its scale in North America, Erasmus said there were not easy comparisons to point to.
“I am reasonably comfortable that the company is committed to dealing with the sound issues,” said Commissioner Julie Fedorchak, but adding there were a lot of valid concerns about roads and infrastructure.
Slater said she is concerned that this kind of large-scale hydrocarbon project will become the new normal for the area.
“It’s going to be industrial sprawl,” she said.

with partners to develop a CO2 pipeline and sequestration system, primarily aiming for underground storage.
The project, estimated to cost $3.2 billion for phase one, with a similar cost for phase two, promises about 100 jobs initially. The facility will produce base oils, GTL diesel and GTL naphtha and generate electricity for the grid. Cerilon's choice of the Trenton site is due to its proximity to natural
gas pipelines, rail and road access and suitable geology for carbon sequestration. Adapted from “Natural gas conversion project near Williston also includes carbon capture,” on the North Dakota Monitor website written by Jeff Beach. The full article can be read by scanning the QR code.

There are a lot of reasons to preserve your own food. Does the increasing grocery bill have you rethinking your food sources? Have you started a garden this year to join the ever-growing trend of self-reliance and homesteading? Do you want to eat healthier, fresher food without all the high processing and preservatives? Do you want to know where your food comes from, support local farmers and reduce food waste? Or maybe you just love gardening and preservation because you grew up doing it with your family. Whatever your reason, be sure to use reliable food preservation resources.
There is a lot of new information out there and some methods have been tested and proven food safe while others are considered hazardous to your health. Whether you are pickling, canning, freezing, drying, curing or smoking, we’ve got you covered.
First, get the right equipment. How do you know what you need? Well, it depends on what and how you want to preserve your food. Canning is gaining popularity, but it must be done right. Common equipment includes jars, lids (never reuse lids!), funnels, jar lifter, bubble remover and a canner. How do you know what canning method to use? If you are preserving
high-acid foods (fruit, tomatoes, jams, jellies), these can be preserved safely by a boiling water-bath canner or a steam canner. If you are preserving low-acid foods (most vegetables and meat), these require the hot, pressurized environment of a pressure canner to destroy harmful bacteria. If you have a pressure canner with a gauge (instead of a weight), be sure to have the gauge pressure tested annually to ensure that food is being safely preserved. Many county extension offices across North Dakota offer free pressure gauge testing, just call in to make an appointment at your convenience.
Second, use a trusted recipe and follow the directions carefully. Our NDSU Extension website has hundreds of recipes that are proven safe, from a specific fruit or vegetable, to salsa, sauerkraut or pickles, to meats such as sausage and jerky and even some wild game prep including birds, venison and fish! There are also tips for troubleshooting when it doesn’t come out right and lists for safe changes and substitutions that can be made to recipes. We also use “Ball Mason Jars” as a trusted source of food safe recipes and directions.
Quick Tips
• Only use trusted sources for equipment, recipes and instructions.
• Follow current recommendations, as these change with new knowledge gained.
• Don’t alter the recipe unless it is safe to do so, it may change the acidity, pressure or temp and allow bacteria to grow.
• Do not reuse canning lids. The rubber compound has changed in recent years and no longer holds up to multiple heatings.
• Prepare the produce or meat correctly through washing, prepping and/or blanching as needed.
• Know how you want to store your food (freeze, refrigerate, can, vacuum seal, etc.) and how long they are good for.
• If a new skill makes you nervous, seek help from someone who has done it or join a cooking class.
Whether it’s your first time dabbling in food preservation, or you are a seasoned pro, I encourage you to learn new skills, foster a sense of self-reliance and share the experience with friends and family. Until next time, continue extending knowledge and changing lives with NDSU Extension.

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.
Transcript from session 5 with inmate 842-2771 on the events of August 7th, 1927:
The rat didn’t say nothing as me and Tommy poured the cement ‘round his feet. Just stood there looking through us like he knew we wasn’t worth his time. And to be fair, we weren’t. We was just the muscle. Most rats begged, pleaded, and blubbered, like me and Tommy could do something for ‘em. I can’t tell you how many pencil pushers I roughed up cuz they thought if they cried hard enough maybe we’d let ‘em go. Like either of us would be that stupid. It was no secret that someone was going into Witch Lake and we wasn’t the least bit interested in taking the place of no rat. This one though, he knew better. So we just stood there waiting for the boss.
It was late by the time the boss's car pulled up. He got out and lit a fresh cigar, then blew a long puff right in the rat’s face. That would’ve turned my stomach, but he just took it without flinching.
“You know Edward,” the Boss said, “It hurts me to see you here, truly. I trusted you. I thought you were one of the
ILLUSTRATION BY REBEKAH STAFFORD
good ones. But something like this well… it can't be forgiven.”
“You gotta do what you gotta do, Boss,” the rat said, looking back like he wasn’t even scared. “But maybe you could do me one last thing before…”
“You know, Edward, it’s an honor and a testament to
all you’ve done for me that I came down here to see you off. And frankly, I’m insulted that you would ask me for anything more after what you did.”
The rat looked down at his cement boots, then looked back at the boss.
“It just doesn’t have to be like this, does it?” the rat said in a whisper. “I mean, into Witch Lake. Couldn’t you just put a bullet in my brain and have done with it?”
The Boss took a long pull from his cigar then said, “Edward, you turned out to be nothing but a rat, and I don’t waste bullets on rats.”
“Come on, Boss. Please, please!”
The rat's voice broke as me and Tommy lifted him by the armpits.
“A bullet is quick, easy, you can see that the job’s been done. You don’t gotta worry about nothing going wrong after.”
The boss laughed, but held up a hand. We set the rat down. The Boss walked down the dock and whispered in the rat’s ear.
“You get what’s coming to you in this life, Edward. You were a rat and rats end up in the water.” The boss took a step back, speaking louder, “as for how I know nothing’ll go wrong.” He nodded and we lifted the rat again. “I am going to wait here and finish this cigar. If I don’t see you come up for air before I’m through. It seems like a safe bet that everything went to plan.”
We got to the end of the dock and heaved. The rat’s screams were cut off by a sudden gargle, his ripples were gone long before the boss’s cigar.

CESKY GOLD, The New Gold Standard. Owning a home can be one of the most enjoyable things you will ever do, and keeping the outside looking beautiful will help maintain its value. Many people come to visit us looking for landscape ideas for entrances that are shaded. Either by large trees or by the angle in which the home was built, the front entrance to the home finds itself in the shade most of the time. There ARE many plants that can perform well in the shade. In a series of articles we’ll share with you some strong SHRUB choices for shadier environments.
Continued from last week: Cesky Gold was introduced by Michal Andrusiv from the Czech Republic. Perhaps the best thing about Birch is their exceptional cold hardiness. Hardy down to USDA Zone 2 this shrub form of Birch can tolerate temps as low as -50°F. It also benefits from some afternoon shade and doesn’t appreciate warm temperatures. Both of those attributes lend it to be a great candidate for shadier gardens.
If there is one thing that is a drawback for the Birch genus it is drought. These plants absolutely must have access to water. Other semi-water-loving shrubs could be Dogwood. Those might make a good pairing for shadier planting spaces. Pair this and other shrubs with water and shade-loving perennials such as Astilbe, Irises, Ligularia, Lobelia and you could have a stunning shade garden that will make people do a double take!
Something that often goes ignored with shrubs is the need for routine maintenance. Annual pruning of shrubs has its benefits when attempting to keep them looking lush and healthy. Woody plants eventually develop bark and stems become hard. The best way to keep this Birch looking its best is with a light sheering in late summer to late fall. Pruning your Cesky back to a uniform round habit will keep it looking tidy and neat for seasons to come. Avoid pruning Birch in late winter and early spring as they have a heavy flow of sap at that time and can be subject to bleeding unnecessarily..
