(First airdate: February 25, 2020) THE MERC’S SECRET WEAPON. Our Town host Maryanne McNellis interviews Holly Mayshark, general manager of Quimper Mercantile. Most people who shop at Quimper Mercantile don’t realize that it’s a rather unique institution – a community-owned store. The “Merc,” as it’s affectionately called, has about 900 shareholders. Shares were sold at $100 a piece before opening in 2012. If the store makes a profit, it goes to employee profit sharing or store upgrades. Holly personally does most of the buying. The merchandise reflects her unique sense of beauty and style, including a lot of items from local artists & artisans. The Merc is a true reflection of Port Townsend’s eclectic spirit.
There’s a small piece of land in Poulsbo, Washington, near woods that witness and fences that guard the propellant and nuclear payloads for Trident missiles. This piece of land near the fences is called Ground Zero, and it has carried its name and its significance for 39 years.
As wind blew through the trees on a Saturday in August of 2019, supporters of the Pacific Northwest Peace Pagoda gathered at Ground Zero from across the U.S. and from other nations. They came in solidarity, ceremony, prayer, and music, to a ground purification ceremony for the Pagoda. After almost four decades of effort, the possibility of the Pagoda’s construction had finally become a reality.
This week on the Compass, we bring you the sounds, the words, and the emotions from that ceremony.
