Patrice Campbell and Debby Brink<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One person\u2019s story can shed light on the history of a place and its community. In this engaging and light-hearted discussion between longtime friends, Patrice Campbell (left) and Debby Brink transport us back to the heyday of Neder\u2019s Caf\u00e9 in downtown Washougal, Washington. Debbie’s journey with the caf\u00e9 began in 1983 and spanned 30 years. She became the owner in 2004 and ran it until it closed in 2013. Neder\u2019s felt like a family in and of itself, where every customer had their own mug and picture on the wall. This is a must-listen segment, complete with the misadventures of iconic bear statues named George and a movie filmed on location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nan and Kris Henriksen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nan Henriksen was the first female mayor of Camas, Washington. In this April 2024 interview with her daughter Kris, Nan tells her story. She faced gender discrimination early on that kept her from being her high school student body president and prevented her from applying to medical school, despite her strong academic performance. But she found inspiration from a deep moral responsibility instilled in her by her father. Even with the challenges of scoliosis and the pain of societal resistance, she served as mayor. Nan achieved her goal to leave her community better than she found it. Even at 82 years old, she continues to mentor local leaders to make a positive difference by working together and embracing change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He lost his leg to the war, but he gained something, too: he came back to Camas, attended college on the GI Bill and ultimately opened a one-person law firm downtown.

If you care about the environment — really<\/em> care — there’s quite a bit you can do. Jen Bargar knows that for a fact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a degree in biology from Syracuse University, Jen set out to make a difference for the local honeybee species. When that endeavor changed her worldview, she started Nature\u2019s Haven, a native plant nursery on six acres in Camas, WA, dedicated to the importance of planting native species to positively impact our local ecosystems. Native species support local wildlife, like butterflies and birds that rely on these plants for food and reproduction. In this conversation, Jen and her friend Molly McKay Williams take some time to imagine what a difference humans could make if we worked like bees to improve our environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
