This release from Basalt Books at WSU Press examines the history of the US Forest Service in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest through three phases: the first four decades of stewardship, 40 years of relentless production starting around 1946, and about 25 years of conservation and restoration. During the century of USFS management, extensive harvesting, timber wars, and conservation efforts all play a part in the story.

Dennis Dauble (’78 MS Biol.) dreams of owning a rustic cabin in the rural Pacific Northwest. His quest takes him three years through back roads in Oregon’s Blue Mountains until he finally happens upon a 1940s log cabin at a ranch-turned-resort in the Umatilla River canyon. He and Nancy, his wife of more than 50 years, settle into their home-away-from-home that August.

This year marks 20 years since they bought their beloved cabin, and this heartfelt book is a love letter to the place and all of those years. It’s a memoir of simple pleasures permeated with love of family. Its pages take readers on a short trip to a fixer-upper in the woods.

"It’s those transition spaces between the inside and out. We’re in a lot of lake regions and then on the coast, and then in the mountains. All these landscapes really lend themselves well to these big projects with these big automated systems where people not only want the view, they want to feel like they’re part of the outdoors while they’re inside their homes."

There are doors—and then there are really big, automated doors.

For the latter, Darren Kiesler (’05 Arch.) and Boone Helm (’03 Comm.) run the Big Door Company, which installs and automates large door systems throughout the western United States and British Columbia.

The longtime friends met at WSU and then became business partners a few years ago.

Kiesler and Helm answered questions for Washington State Magazine about their unusual company, time at , incredible projects, and how automated doors could help people.

“It’s definitely surreal to get to film where I first envisioned it,” says Anisa Ashabi (’20 Comm.), author of the 2022 YA novel "Finding Chaz." She recently adapted the story for television and serves as executive producer on the pilot. Filming took place during nine days in July at the Bainbridge Island middle school Ashabi once attended. While writing the book, “I was visualizing these exact rooms and these exact hallways,” she says. The pilot covers just the first few chapters of the coming- of-age story, set in the middle of the first decade of the 2000s.
