KBOO Community Radio

May's program finds us in the "KBOO Spring Membership Drive" and we will be asking listeners to help push us to the $75,000.00 goal.

Featured this month is part 2 of our interview with dobro and steel guitar player Cindy Cashdollar. This segment will focus solely on her CD "Slide Show". Cindy generously donated 3 signed copies of "Slide Show" as gifts for contributing to KBOO.

Take your radio outside Sunday morning, as you weed your garden and listen to some lively klezmer tunes.  Scientific studies prove that the combination of accordion and clarinet make both humans and vegetables happy!

Clayton Morgareidge will host this show and the topics include--

JUST HOW CLEAN ARE ELECTRIC CARS: An Interview with Don Anair, Union of Concerned Scientists

Everybody knows an electric car doesn’t use gasoline, but since it gets its power from the electric grid, the question remains: How clean is an electric car?

Lowering the Pressure: Natural Approaches to Hypertension

About 74.5 million people in the United States age 20 and older have high blood pressure, which amounts to one in three adults, and it’s often said that in 90-95% percent of the cases, the cause is not known. Since the death rate is so high with this condition, we’ve got a bit of a murder mystery on our hands.

We hear about the story of Henrietta Lacks who unwittingly donated her tissue to science in 1951 and whose cells still grow in laboratories around the world today.  Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor black tobacco farmer whose cells—taken without her knowledge in 1951—became one of the most important tools in medicine, vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, in vitro fertilization, and more. Henrietta’s cells have been bought and sold by the billions, yet she remains virtually unknown, and her family can’t afford health insurance.

Andrew Nikiforuk – Tar Sands: Canada’s Mordor  (interview)

Mordor is the realm of the evil Sauron in “The Lord of the Rings.”

Post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) is widely pervasive catastrophe that impacts perhaps 25% of families in America. It's "a whole body tragedy . . . with massive repercussions. We cannot patch it up in 12 weeks of counseling or with a pill or with surgery.  Left untreated it grows and morphs into a destructive beast that erodes the very fabric of wellness in the human being.  It has the unique power to unravel body, mind and spirit.

Americans have a lower life expectancy rate, higher rates of heart disease and cancer, and an infant mortality rate that is twice as high as other rich industrialized nations. (Even Cuba has a lower infant mortality rate than the US according to the CIA World Factbook.) With the intention of restoring" the nation to natural optimum health," a nonprofit health organization Fresh Start, was recently founded here in Portland to provide free education to the public on natural health topics. "We believe that America's health crisis can be turned around, and we can do that through making the best information available to the people."
