We’ve driven west on I-94 to Richardton, North Dakota where I interviewed the Prioress of the Sacred Heart Monestary and Retreat Center, Sr. Ruth Fox. The nuns here installed the first commercial wind turbines in North Dakota back in 1994.

It only makes sense, sound environmental common sense… In Glendive, I also met with Glendive Public Library Director Gail Nagle, who told me several years ago the town started a “Healthy Community Project.” For instance, Ms. Nagle said one of the arms of the project is to provide Parenting Classes to the community. And to help, the library has donated space for these classes and a coordinator’s office.
