The Olympic National Forest is hosting open houses asking the public to share the areas and roads they use on the Forest.  This information will help the Forest identify a financially sustainable road system that meets diverse access needs, minimizes environmental harm, and is safe and dependable because it is scaled to available resources.

“Your participation will help us understand your access needs,” said Forest Supervisor Reta Laford.  “It would be particularly helpful to know what areas you use on the Forest and what roads you use to get there.”

The open houses will be held around the Olympic Peninsula during the summer of 2014.

In addition to attending open houses, the public may provide comments using the web-based map or on-line questionnaire on the Forest website here.  Questionnaires are also available at any Olympic National Forest office.  Comments will be taken until August 31, 2014.

America’s Music is a free film and discussion series highlighting popular music genres from the 20th century. The third of four sessions covers Blues and Gospel music and features two films – “Martin Scorsese Presents The Blues” and “Say Amen, Somebody.”

Enjoy playing in this disc golf tournament complete with two rounds of 18, one throw per player per hole games (holes between 180 and 250 feet.)

Players are required to use the player package discs, and only these discs. If a disc is lost, the player has the option of using the second disc from the package. Only one throw per player per hole. Each player will have their own scorecard and mark “A” for aces and “M” for holes on which they hit metal.

The player with the most aces after the second round is declared the winner. In case of ties, the number of metal hits is used as a tie breaker. If a tie persists, a closest to the pin con-test is then held to determine the event winner.

For further details, please contact Aberdeen Department of Parks and Recreation.

Come out to see cult classic and rarity Miami Connection (1987) at the historic 7th Street Theatre! All proceeds for this showing benefit the local animal rescue Harbor Rescue – “saving people, one dog at a time”!

We worked hard to get a super fun, cult-following film! Don’t miss out on a one-time event! We will also be featuring food and raffle items from local businesses such as Passport Cafe and Rediviva. This isn’t just a movie, it’s a fun community event and it’s all for a good cause – helping Harbor Rescue with abandonment and neglect cases and making life better for all citizens of Grays Harbor – four-legged and two-legged.

“The year is 1987. Motorcycle ninjas tighten their grip on Florida’s narcotics trade, viciously annihilating anyone who dares move in on their turf. Multi-national martial arts rock band Dragon Sound have had enough, and embark on a roundhouse wreck-wave of crime-crushing justice. When not chasing beach bunnies or performing their hit song “Against the Ninja,” Mark (taekwondo master/inspirational speaker Y.K. Kim) and the boys are kicking and chopping at the drug world’s smelliest underbelly. It’ll take every ounce of their blood and courage, but Dragon Sound can’t stop until they’ve completely destroyed the dealers, the drunk bikers, the kill-crazy ninjas, the middle-aged thugs, the “stupid cocaine”…and the entire MIAMI CONNECTION!”

The film is not rated. It features drug references, brief nudity, and martial arts violence.

“Fasten your seat belts, it’s going to be a bumpy night,” is the legendary line delivered by Bette Davis in the 1950 classic, “All About Eve,” the next offering of the Silver Screen Classics Film Series.

The film tells the story of an ambitious young actress who maneuvers her way into the lives of an aging Broadway star and her circle of friends. Davis is said to have alleged the role was based on the life of actress Talullah Bankhead.

The film won six Academy Awards including Best Picture, Director and Screenplay. Davis and Anne Baxter were both nominated for Best Actress, which is thought to have split the vote and cost Davis the Oscar.
