BISMARCK — With the goal to support North Dakota artists in creating art that showcases the beauty and inspiration within our state parks, the North Dakota Parks and Recreation Department and the ND Council on the Arts have selected three artists for the 2023 Artist in Residency Program.
The Artist in Residency Program is a partnership between the two agencies where artists are selected to spend 7 or 10 days in a North Dakota state park. The residency also provides opportunities for visitors to develop artistic skills and a deeper appreciation of the park-inspired artwork based on their experience in the parks.
This year Turtle River State Park will host sewist Cynthia McGuire Thiel of Fargo July 14-23; Lake Metigoshe State Park will host photographer Scott Seiler, also Fargo, Jan. 16-23, 2024; and Lewis and Clark State Park will host visual artist James Skinner of Williston June 3-10, 2024.
Each artist will offer two presentations or workshops during the weekend of their residency; the public is invited and encouraged to attend these activities. These offerings will showcase artwork inspired by the state parks and will provide various opportunities for park visitors of all ages and skill levels to discover or further develop their artistic skills. Details surrounding these opportunities at Turtle River State Park, Lake Metigoshe State Park and Lewis & Clark State Park will be posted on their respective Facebook pages via event listings as soon as they become available.
These events within the ND state parks are free of charge; however, normal daily park vehicle entrance fees apply (or an annual state park pass is required).
Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.

Letter: ND senators should support AADAPT Act

Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating condition that affects millions of Americans, both directly and indirectly, by placing an enormous emotional and financial burden on individuals and families. This is particularly hard for those of us who live in states like North Dakota, where needed services may be a long drive away.
I know firsthand how Alzheimer’s greatly affected our family when my grandfather was diagnosed. He was my hero and to watch his memory of my family and myself slowly deteriorate was the hardest thing. To honor his legacy, I served as an Alzheimer’s board member for the MN-ND Chapter of Alzheimer’s for six years. My fight however isn’t over, I will continue to advocate and serve as a volunteer for the Alzheimer’s Association the rest of my life. I fight to find a cure for this disease that that took my grandfather and has impacted so many families in North Dakota.
Unfortunately for many people, it often takes a long time to get a diagnosis of dementia, as many primary care providers do not receive enough training. In fact, nearly half of doctors say they are uncomfortable making a diagnosis. This is a particular problem for those of us in rural America where it can be hard to get a second opinion.
That is why I am asking Senators Cramer and Hoeven to cosponsor the AADAPT Act (S. 4276) to help fund needed training for care providers to better understand detection, diagnosis, care, and treatment, and importantly, allow the program to expand its reach in rural and underserved communities.
If your loved one is diagnosed with dementia, The Alzheimer’s Association MN-ND offers free classes on Alzheimer’s and dementia, and support groups for people impacted. Visit alz.org/mnnd or call the 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900 for support.
