(Airdate: November 24, 2025) his week’s Attention Please! comes in two festive parts. Flavia Heinemann and Elizabeth Rowen open the doors to the 38th Annual Chimacum Arts and Crafts Fair. Then, Denise Winter and Brendan Chambers roll up the curtain on Key City Public Theatre’s “Ebenezer Scrooge’s Big Christmas Show”. Hosted by Phil Andrus.
(Airdate: November 21, 2025) Instead of the usual County Commissioner co-host , this week Jim Burke is joined by Pinky Faeria Mingo, Director of Environmental Health and Water Quality of Jefferson County. Jim and Pinky are joined by two others in that Department: Becca Maurer, Code Compliance Specialist and Carter Erickson, Environmental Health Manager.
Becca talks about an alternative program that is relatively new that helps bring property owners into compliance in a collaborative way instead of the usual punitive model, (similar to diversionary programs in Superior Court.)
Carter explains the process for new septic systems and remediation of existing systems. They both stress the importance of clean up of environmental hazards that affect water quality and the general environment in Jefferson County.
KPTZ’s Taylor Clark and Port Townsend City Manager John Mauro were joined by PT Mayor David Faber as well as Washington State Parks’ Chris Holm, Campus Business Manager for Fort Worden. Chris brought us up-to-date with changes at the Fort, including possibility of overnight accommodations which are re-starting this week. Reservation information is available here.

After one kilometer, we passed a cemetery. We stopped and walked up a pile of steps to a mausoleum at the top of a small hill….
(Airdate: November 17, 2025) KPTZ’s Taylor Clark and Tate Munnich were joined by Barry Denton and Vicki Legman from the Friends of Fort Worden about the work the Friends are doing around the park and how people can get involved. More information is available at https://www.fwfriends.org/.
