Now Hear This: Canby

Episode 87: It's a Trap!

Pull! Today's episode is all about trapshooting, as we introduce you to Issabella Berge, Canby's crack shooting teen who recently proved herself as one of the nation's top amateur performers on the sport's largest stage. At the recent USA High School Clay Target League National Championship, she accomplished the rare feat of shooting a perfect 100, an achievement matched by only six other competitors in a field of 1,800. She and her coaches take us back to that moment, which provoked cheers, applause, even tears of pride.

Episode 84: Live from Harefest

"The Mother of All Tribute Band Festivals." "Summer Camp for Adults." "Hey Honey, What's Going on at Pat's Acres?" There are many ways to describe Harefest, but to really understand, it's just one of those things you have to see -- and hear -- for yourself. In today's episode, we give you that chance.

Episode 83: Maybe I'll See You In...Canby?

Singer, multi-talented instrumentalist, writer, poet, actor and (self-described) "seasoned vagabond," Bee Appleseed can do it all. The former Canby resident and CHS grad has spent his post-college days trodding the globe as itinerant musician, and he joins the Canby Now Podcast tells us some of his stories from the road. He calls his sound "cosmic rock and roll." We don't really know what that means, but we know we like it, and we think you will, too!

Episode 80: Home, Sweet Home

Local experts estimate there are about 280 students in the Canby School District who are homeless or housing insecure. We don't see them because, fortunately, they're not out on the streets (usually). But they are in less-than-ideal situations that can severely impact their success in school and life in general. Second Home, a program of Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, has found that something as simple as a stable housing situation can almost double an unaccompanied student's chances of graduating high school. This program is now in Canby for the first time, and our guests today are eager to tell us all about it.

Episode 79: Sounds Like a Blast

The Canby Independence Day Celebration is one of the city's biggest annual events, drawing thousands of people to Wait Park and the downtown core each year. In today's episode, we chat with the city of Canby's Jamie Stickel and Calvin LeSueur, two people who are instrumental in making this big party happen. We spend most of our time trying to make as many Dad jokes as possible. So, basically, your standard episode.

Episode 78: 'I Like To Shake the Healing Gourd, Too'

In a legislative session marked by more controversy than most — one in which a dozen Senators fled the Capitol and even the state, with the state police dispatched to bring them back — no proposal has generated more public outcry than HB 3063: the vaccine bill. It's a question that pits public health against personal freedom. And it's very complicated, so we decided to ask for some help.
In today's episode, we sit down with Dr. Max Cohen, a naturopathic physician who believes vaccines are safe and effective. He agreed to answer our questions, and yours as well, about vaccine studies, delayed schedules, adverse reactions, the work of Dr. Paul Thomas and more.
