(First airdate: August 28, 2018) KIM RAFFERTY: FROM HIPPIE TO PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE. Our Town host Maryanne McNellis interviews Kim Rafferty, a nurse with Jefferson County Public Health. Once upon a time Kim lived in the proverbial hippie commune in California. But reason prevailed. She ended up becoming a nurse. She’s run group homes for mentally challenged seniors and run clinics on Orcas Island. Today she’s the public health nurse who provides foot care to seniors and disabled all around the county.

This week on the Compass, the man who talks to the animals talks to you. And the Women in Black, who usually refuse to say anything, also talk. And we hear the story of a train leading to a horseracing track that few people know existed in Port Townsend over 100 years ago.

Phil Andrus is back with another full bowl of Tossed Salad, including Can't Wait for Salad: Amanda Milholland of the Farmers Market to talk about the Tomato Taste-Off.

Thereafter, we have:
1:00 - Daring Greatly, family band from BC
1:45 - Tom Jay, “A Word and a Poem”
2:00 - Ellen Falconer, Forest Bathing
2:30 - Dan Weber, Northwind Songwriter Showcase
3:15 - Corinne Adams, Shamisen
4:00 - Tessa Lark and Michael Thurber, Olympic Music Festival’s “Bach to Bluegrass”
4:30 - Don White, reading

This week on the Compass, we speak with Nathan and Tara Lee, the husband-and-wife team behind Friday Feature Productions, a Southern California film, television, and commercial production company. They came to visit family in Port Townsend, won a special prize at the Jefferson County Fair, and are about to release their next major motion picture.
