Wednesday, April 25 – Today is Parental Alienation Awareness Day. Parental alienation refers to children being manipulated by one parent to hate the other. Here to discuss the problem is Sean Brotherson, NDSU Extension Family Science Specialist. ~~~ And on part three of our series on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is part of the Farm Bill being negotiated, we hear a story about work requirements. ~~~ In this week’s Natural North Dakota Chuck Lura talks about some weedy relatives of peas. ~~~~From a recent “First Fridays at B” event, we learn about the business of food with Jeremiah Utecht of “Off the Deck Hot Sauce” and “Flannel Fizz.” ~~~We share another excerpt from “Standing Rock and the Media,” a symposium held last week at UND. The symposium explored issues surrounding media coverage of the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. The first session featured Jodi A. Gillette, a member of the Standing Rock tribe, who had served as a special assistant in the Obama administration. She currently serves as a policy advisor for a national law firm devoted to representing Native American tribal interests. At the time of the protest, she was assisting the Standing Rock Tribe. We present a brief, edited excerpt of her remarks. The entire presentation can be found here.
