ENCHANTED HIGHWAY

Enchanted Highway Kickstarter campaign surpases goal By Cole Benz

Record Editor cbenz@countrymedia.net

The Enchanted Highway has become synonymous with the state of North Dakota. But recently the famed metal sculptures have garnered attention past the state’s borders. Last year the television network FX aired promos for the show, “Fargo”, that featured the famous landmarks. The Enchanted Highway also caught the eye of The Huffington Post and a video documenting creator Gary Greff and his story was recently posted to their website. It takes Greff about $60,000 to complete a sculpture, and for his next project he looked at an out-of-the-box idea and turned to a new age method of fundraispages ing. Greff’s last sculpture was the Fisherman’s Dream, a project that was completed in 2010. The next feature of the Enchanted Highway will be a 70-foot by 70-foot

For the first time in its history, West River will have two residents working at their facility and its affiliated satellite clinics through the Rural Training Track. The Rural Training Track model is a ‘1-2’ program, meaning that the resident will work one year in a larger, metro-like healthcare facility, and then finish the final two years in a rural setting.

er will host individuals this far along in their medical training. The two individuals have completed medical school and are now doctors, this portion of their training—residency—is when they hone their skills in the specialty they have chosen. In this case the residency program for West River will be in Family Medicine. Ellen Ketterling, pediatrician at West River, said they have had medical students before, but not a residency program. “This is a new program, it’s adding another level of medical education where the physicians can train
