Steve’s been grappling with our complex issues since he joined the city five years ago. An early accomplishment was getting the mill to pay for water usage, just like any other customer. Some of the pipes for our water system are over 100 years old. Steve’s team is racing the clock—trying to replace those pipes before they collapse. That’s just one issue facing the town. The lack of affordable housing and the sorry state of our streets are also major issues. Voters overwhelmingly passed a measure to raise taxes to help pay for street repairs. Results aren’t in yet but that money only began to flow in 2024. The lack of workforce housing — aka affordable housing — is also on everyone’s radar. Nov 11/16 Maryanne interviews Carly Lech, Certified Canine Behaviorist at the PT Humane Society. Carly has essentially been obsessed with animals since she was a small child. Her parents supported her dreams. She attended a zoo program in high school. She did papers on exotics such as Mandrills & Binturongs. College was also animal focused. Now that she’s joined our Humane Society she is determined to bring the right kind of care to animals who arrive there. But she cautions that being in any shelter is incredibly stressful for any animal. She also shares with our listeners some key tips for handling your own dogs (& other animals).

Today most all of the six million Uyghurs in China are Muslims, and they wear the skulk cap that Muslims wear the world over. But during their moment of glory, where they controlled most of central Asia from their base in Mongolia, they wore their hair beneath the sky, and they bowed to the sun instead of Mecca…. Nov 11 / 14 Episode 96 We’ve already noted the ancient homeland of the Uyghurs on the shores of Lake Baikal north of Mongolia, and their short-lived empire that encompassed much of central Asia during the 8th Century. We’ve also noticed their practice of a variety of religions. But today it’s hard to find a Uyghur who isn’t Muslim….

I’ll bring that to a boil, simmer to perfection and serve it up hot every Friday from 5 to 7 pm. You’ll find it right here at 91.9 FM KPTZ in Port Townsend. It's BYOB and be sure to come hungry! Nov 7 Bob Dylan wrote a few songs over his 63 year career. You probably know most of them. He won 9 Grammy awards for his music, and in 2016, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. This week we'll start November by highlighting his songwriting prowess by featuring his songs as performed by other musicians. These incredible interpretations will give you a new perspective on the lyrics and music of the greatest songwriter of his generation. Tune in to your favorite DJ on your favorite radio station this Friday from 5 to 7 pm and sing along. Nov 14 We're continuing our November in a funk. In African communities, the term funk, while linked to body odor, had the positive sense that a musician's hard-working, honest effort led to sweat, and from their "physical exertion" came an "exquisite" and "superlative" performance. So put on your paisley prints, bell bottoms and platform shoes and let's get down tonight!
