Screen Time and Toddlers ~ Trahant Reports ~ Farm Bill ~ Pembina Gorge Foundation

Wednesday, January 17 – What are the possible effects for learning via screen time for toddlers? Findings on this topic by Dr. Gabrielle Strouse will be published in next month's issue of the "Journal of Experimental Child Psychology." Strouse is an assistant professor in the division of counseling and psychology at the University of South Dakota, and she visits with Lori Walsh, of South Dakota Public Broadcasting’s “In The Moment.” ~~~ UND Journalism Professor Mark Trahant shares an essay on the costs of global warming. ~~~ We’re at the beginning of a new farm bill cycle, when Congress maps out how to spend upward of $500 billion on food and farm programs over the next five years. It comes as the U.S. Department of Agriculture is being restructured and the nation’s farm economy continues its downward slide. Harvest Public Media’s Amy Mayer explains what’s at stake. ~~~ The Pembina Gorge Foundation seeks to preserve and enhance the experience of the Pembina Gorge and the wider northeast North Dakota area. The foundation is still in its formative stages, and one of the big projects undertaken is management of the Frost Fire ski area. Kristi Mishler Wilfahrt is the interim director and co-founder of the foundation.
