Venturing into a new age
We all know newspapers are heading into a new era with the Internet.
With so many different avenues of getting information, we've done all we can to keep up and re-invent ourselves with the new Web site.
And I got that first taste of it yesterday when I was doing more than just covering a game by taking notes and shooting photos. I brought along a small handheld video recorder and shot some action at the Canby High School volleyball team's match against Tualatin, as well as some earlier at the North Marion High School boys soccer team's match against Stayton that will be posted later.
I got to admit it was a little overwhelming, holding my notepad, carrying my camera, holding a camcorder as well as afterward, having to get interviews on my audio recorder. Every possible media component you could think of, I had in my hand yesterday.
But in the end, I think it provides a very cool feature for our newspaper. It's a great complement to the traditional paper product, and hopefully you return as we add more and more features and game videos to our site.
To view the video I shot for Canby's volleyball match last night, including interviews with senior Nicole Schwend and coach Bryan Kamahoahoa, click

Back in the groove
So I guess nothing has really happened since my three-week vacation ended.
Other than seeing the Canby football team take down defending Class 6A state champion Southridge on its home field in an impressive fashion.
It'll be interesting to see just how good this version of Canby's team can be this season. Was last Friday's game a telltale sign of things to come, or is Southridge a little down after losing several of its top players from its state-title team?
But you can't take away the fact that the Cougars won the game convincingly against a team ranked third in the state.
The number of weapons on offense, a bigger offensive line from last season, and a defense looking to prove once again that they're one of the best in the state could mean another special season.
A lot of questions also remain in the conference with Tualatin and Tigard adjusting to new head coaches, Newberg still looking to prove itself as a legitimate state-playoff team again, Forest Grove also under a new head coach, and McMinnville looking to rebuild its program.
Canby also has a schedule that will include Tualatin and Tigard at home, unlike the past two seasons.
Friday night at Westview will provide another interesting test against another strong Metro League contender.
