In this episode of The Stump, Rod Fleck joins us. Rod is the City Attorney and City Planner for the City of Forks, Washington. There is a lot more to Forks than vampires and rain. Rod and I talk about his history with the city and his engagement with the management of trust lands by the Department of Natural Resources. While Forks is not a direct recipient of revenue from managing these trust lands, they have been an integral part of Forks and the “West End” of Clallam County. The Parks and Recreation District, the Quillayute Valley School District (schools serving Forks and the surrounding area), the local hospital, and the fire district are among the beneficiaries of trust land management in the area. Not to mention the importance of the jobs that accompany active forest management. Because of this, for nearly 30 years, Rod has been a strong advocate for Forks when it comes to DNR management. Rod is also a history teacher at the local branch of Peninsula College. Not to mention a wealth of knowledge and history of the policy work regarding trust lands in Clallam County and across much of the state. If you are in Forks, make sure to stop by the visitor center and the Forks Timber Museum located on the south end of town. We did have a few technical difficulties during the recording of this episode. So please excuse the few audio glitches where an unstable internet connection got the better of us. And if you are watching it on YouTube, we lost video connection with Forks partway through.

The relationship between music and spirituality spans the globe. Indian ragas are an especially powerful and unique example of this tradition. Thousands of years ago, Hindus envisioned them as manifestations of the divine. While some songs are memorized, the style itself is largely a melodic framework for improvisation. Centrum gathered musicians and scholars to discuss the history and theory of this music, and to play it. Award-winning Hindustani vocalist Srivani Jade and professional tabla player Ravi Joseph Albright performed selections with local musician Saikat Ray and sat for conversation with Wes Cecil, professor of English and the Humanities at Peninsula College. The event was held on March 9, 2020, in the Wheeler Theater.

You just can’t hand a for sale sign out with a number you have in mind. Your business needs to have value to the buyer How does the sale of your business gets financed? A buyer or lending institution will look carefully at the cash flow of the business to see if it can sustain the debt of an acquisition.

In 2001 Portugal abolished all criminal penalties for personal possession of drugs – effectively decriminalising their use. Health journalist Nigel Hawkes talks to João Goulão, Portugal's drug tsar, to find out how effective this policy change has been. Also, the General Medical Council is introducing revalidation for doctors. Part of that revalidation will require input from a doctor's colleagues and patients. We hear from John Campbell, Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry, about possible independent factors that could affect the scores.

However Tom McMillan, professor of Clinical Neuropsychology, University of Glasgow, explains how he has shown long term outcomes are actually dynamic. (9.08)And the Scheltens scale.

Scott Chichester, Production Manager at Nash’s Organic Produce, was raised in Sequim. He liked to garden and was curious about where food comes from, so it was natural for him to find a job at Sunny Farms after he graduated from high school. He worked there for three years, acquiring skills in retail sales, produce displays, and customer service. Organic agriculture was what really intrigued Scott, and he also realized that he wanted to find work that would allow him to be outdoors most of the time, so in 1996 he started working at Nash’s. Scott had an Associate of Applied Science degree from Peninsula College but still wanted to complete a bachelor’s degree. He took the 1997-98 academic year to go to Olympia and study at The Evergreen State College where he received a Bachelors of Science degree. At Evergreen, students create their own programs, and Scott took the opportunity to study fungal biology and taxonomy and soil microbial ecology—how microbes and other life forms interact in soil environments. Another of Scott’s goals is learning how to produce seed, not just for the farm’s use but to protect genetic diversity for organic agriculture in general. He says, “Farming can be hugely stressful, but amazingly rewarding. It’s incredible to do such important work outdoors in this beautiful place.”
