SPEAKER_12 (00:44):
Yeah, that's a great little program, so stay tuned to
the Double R Show, and we'll beright back after these short
messages.

You'll get a chance to crack thevault this October and go home
with that old world cash.
We'll have five winners eachSunday in October here at
Chinook Wins, where it's betterat the beach.
SPEAKER_02 (01:06):
If you're looking for great early garden fresh
produce, it's Kenny's IGA in theBay Area of Lincoln City.
Four generations of Morganscaring for your every grocery
need.
All of your favorite beverages,a full deli, meat, produce, and
of course, groceries.
Oregon Coast Community College,Lincoln City, Lincoln County has
got an offering for most anybodyand everybody.
(01:29):
With me is Dave Price.
You have a number of communityed classes and community ed
really means what, Dave?
SPEAKER_08 (01:35):
It means it's a class that you, me, even
producer Paul can just show upand go and attend.
There's no registration forcollege.
There's no financial aid.
There's no application.
It's just, hey, I want toregister for this class.
Here's my 20 bucks.
I want to take this or whateverthe course might cost.
And so it's a variety ofdifferent things that are open
to the entire community,everyone of all ages.
(01:56):
And so if what you want to dothis term is, you know what, I
haven't been scuba certified in20 years.
I want to go back to IslaMujeres.
I'm going to take thatcertification.
We've got SCUBA for you.
If you think you might have anew opportunity at work, if you
could get a first aid CPRcertification.
First time in a long time, we'vegot first aid certification.
SPEAKER_02 (02:16):
Where does the dream, if you will, come from to
come up with the ideas for allof these community ed programs?
SPEAKER_08 (02:25):
Well, there are a few that I'm passionate about
that I try to find instructorsfor, but generally speaking, We
offer what the instructor wants.
And a great example of that thisyear is a gentleman named Frank
Ward came to me.
I think I met him at BloomNewport, which is just an event
in the parking lot at thePerforming Arts Center this
summer.
I was there talking about thebond with a table for the
(02:45):
college.
And this guy said, hey, I'd liketo teach people how to build
wooden boats.
Can we do that at the college?
And I was like, well, sure.
Tell me more.
And so he's going to offer aworkshop this fall that is going
to tell people all about howthey can build a beautiful
wooden boat.
And then if there's enoughinterest, we're gonna actually
(03:05):
not only have this one-timeworkshop, but we're gonna create
a week-long build your own boatwith Frank Ward.
And, you know, Frank lives inCutler City and I took pictures
of him paddling around on theSiletz Bay.
It's a beautiful craft and itcosts a piece of money.
But if you learn from Frank thatyou want to build your own boat,
we're going to help you do that.
SPEAKER_02 (03:27):
That is just absolutely phenomenal.
And I assume that there'sprobably a limited number of
positions that people can takethis class at any given time.
SPEAKER_08 (03:37):
Well, in terms of taking this first workshop I
think we could put 30 or 40people into it.
And then maybe out of that, fiveor six people will say, yeah, I
think I really have room in mygarage for that boat.
I think I really have room in mybudget to do this.
And I think I have the skillswith some expert assistants.
to do this.
And Frank believes that justabout anybody with any level or
(03:58):
lack thereof of wood craftingskills can manage this with some
assistance.
SPEAKER_02 (04:03):
I would assume that anybody can take, if you're from
Newport and you want to takeclass in Lincoln City, you can
do that or vice versa.
You want to go, you're fromLincoln City, you want to go to
Walport or something in Walport.
SPEAKER_08 (04:15):
Totally.
For years and years, our onlyguitar class has been Richard
Paris and he teaches up here inLincoln City and more than half
of his students drive fromNewport or Point South.
And so it just is what it is.
I love this commute.
I do it all the time.
And there's no better time to dothis commute than the fall
because you don't have terribleweather yet and you don't have
summer traffic.
(04:35):
It's just the time to go up anddown and to explore our
beautiful campus.
If you haven't been to ourcampus in Newport, go take a
class and you'll really get akick out of it.
SPEAKER_02 (04:43):
Of all of the classes offerings that community
college has, are there morefull-time students or more
community type students?
SPEAKER_08 (04:52):
Oh, the full-time students outnumber the community
ed students, but that's nothingto sneeze at because we're going
to have about a thousandcommunity ed students in our
programs this academic year.
I've already got 470, I justlooked at this today,
registrations for our fall term.
And as you and I are speakingnow, I'm not sure when this is
going to air, we're still amonth out from this term
(05:14):
starting.
And so it may be that we put1500 students through our
community ed program this year,but we'll probably do at least
that many credit studentsbecause we're or so many of our
credit students are working on atwo-year degree, but it may take
seven years because they've gota full-time job.
They've got kids in school.
So if they can get one chemistryclass and one science class or
(05:36):
writing knocked out of theirgoal each term or even every
other term, they're still ontrack in their minds, and we're
happy to let them take as longas they need to be successful.
SPEAKER_02 (05:46):
I'm going to ask you a question that I asked you at
the Qantas meeting about oldhides like myself auditing
clients.
Talk about that.
SPEAKER_08 (05:54):
We'd love to have you.
We'd love to have you.
And you don't look a day over29, Roger, but we have a senior
waiver program.
And I don't like using that wordbecause anybody over age 60
could take a credit class atOregon Coast Community College
with zero tuition.
But I need to hasten to add thatwe do charge fees.
And so there might be$25 orcredit fee for our technology or
(06:14):
what have you.
So there's going to be somecost, but you're going to save
$125 per credit hour.
So that's a minimum of about$400to$600 that you're saving.
And best of all, you only haveto take the final if you want
to, Roger.
SPEAKER_02 (06:28):
Do you have a number of students that do that?
SPEAKER_08 (06:31):
Oh, yeah.
We have a ton of students thatdo it.
And imagine how rich it makesthe classroom.
My son just graduated fromOregon Coast Community College
in June.
Shout out to Parker.
And in his class, he would comehome and talk about the
conversations they had.
And he would talk about this70-year-old that he was having a
conversation about publicspeaking or even U.S.
history with.
(06:51):
And next to the 14-year-oldwho's an early college student.
And Parker's somewhere inbetween.
And that's marvelous.
I mean, think of the depth ofexperience in the community that
you build by having all thesedifferent ages come together to
learn.
I mean, it's the best thingthere is.
SPEAKER_02 (07:09):
Oregon Coast Community College has got to be
a passion of Dave Price.
SPEAKER_08 (07:14):
It totally is.
I've been here longer than I'vehad any other job in my entire
life.
And I started here in 2012 ormaybe January of 13.
I actually walked in the door.
But I love the place.
And I think we've accomplished agreat deal.
And I can't wait to see what wedo next.
SPEAKER_04 (07:32):
Bob's Beach Books in the Ocean Lake area of Lincoln
City does in fact have whatyou'll want to read.
I'm Diana Portwood, and if wehappen to be out of a particular
bestseller, in a day or two,we'll have it back in the store
waiting for you.
Bob's Beach Books, so you canjoin the conversation.
SPEAKER_01 (07:45):
We may be young, but we are experienced.
Hi, Adina Zeller here, andZeller's restaurants are now a
year old, but the experience inpreparing and serving food goes
way back generations.
Zeller's Lincoln City and RoseLodge, come on in.
SPEAKER_06 (07:59):
Wouldn't it be great to have all your insurance needs
handled by one agent This isCharlotte Lado with Farmers
Insurance and the InsuranceStore.
Visit our office next to theWildflower Grill in Lincoln
City.
Let us be your one stop for yourpersonal, commercial, health,
and Medicare insurance needs.
SPEAKER_00 (08:15):
We at La Roca are proud of our food, but don't
take our word for it.
Read the reviews.
One person wrote, the servicewas friendly and efficient.
Another writes, La Roca hasbecome one of our favorites
because it's authentic Mexicanfood.
SPEAKER_02 (08:33):
The Latino population in North Lincoln
County is critically importantto the economy of the area.
With me right now is Kim Putman,and Kim is a grant writer for
Phoenix Connection, but inHispanic it is...
SPEAKER_07 (08:48):
Conexión Phoenix.
SPEAKER_02 (08:50):
And what is that?
SPEAKER_07 (08:51):
Conexion Phoenix is an organization that grew out of
relief efforts from the EchoMountain Fire.
We started as just a littlesubcommittee trying to reach out
to Hispanic families to makesure that they were doing fire
recovery and getting theservices that they needed.
SPEAKER_02 (09:07):
They probably were a little hesitant to come forward,
or were they?
SPEAKER_07 (09:11):
It was a little scary to try and navigate all of
the systems and organizationsthat were here trying to help
people survive the fire andrecover after the devastation.
So having a specificorganization together to reach
out to those families wascritically important in making
sure those families got theservices that they needed.
SPEAKER_02 (09:31):
Approximately how many families were you
assisting?
I
SPEAKER_07 (09:35):
don't have specific numbers about that, but I know
that the families were verygrateful for the services we
were able to provide to them inSpanish.
We had mental health folks comefrom the valley to talk with
people about their specificexperiences during the fire.
We were able to provide listos,which was an emergency response
(09:56):
and preparedness class inSpanish for those families as
well.
And from those seats, we justcontinued to grow as a family.
our fire relief efforts taperedoff, we realized that there were
many families in North LincolnCounty who weren't getting the
services that they needed andweren't able to build community.
So we invented ourselves asConexion Phoenix.
(10:18):
We say out of the ashes, thephoenix will fly.
And now we serve all of thefamilies for North Lincoln
County here with Latinxservices.
SPEAKER_02 (10:28):
Are you finding more Latino families coming forward
asking for some assistance, somehelp, some Absolutely.
SPEAKER_07 (10:36):
We have great success.
We've celebrated things like Diade los Muertos, Day of the Dead,
and Cinco de Mayo for severalyears, and we often have
hundreds of people showing up atour celebrations.
SPEAKER_02 (10:49):
And that takes place when and where?
Day
SPEAKER_07 (10:56):
of the Dead is Halloween, correct?
(11:22):
I didn't realize how importantthat
SPEAKER_02 (11:33):
is to the Mexican community until I was actually
in Mazatlan.
during Day of the Dead, and itwas just a fiesta that was
second to none.
SPEAKER_07 (11:46):
It's incredible.
When you think of reallyacknowledging the people who
love you, who have gone beforeyou, the joy and connection in
that, as well as the sadnessthat they're no longer with us,
being able to celebrate thepower of that, and then connect
with your friends and family whoare still here, really makes a
difference.
SPEAKER_02 (12:06):
Now, again, you said this is going to be November 1st
at the library.
Who can attend?
SPEAKER_07 (12:11):
Anyone is welcome to attend.
Although the altar and some ofthe information will be in
Spanish, truly anyone who wantsto come be part of this
community, eat the good food,enjoy the celebration is truly
welcome.
SPEAKER_02 (12:26):
Now, your organization is involved with
lots of Oregon Coast CommunityCollege, Samaritan North Lincoln
Hospital, lots of differentservices you've brought into the
fold, if you will, correct?
SPEAKER_07 (12:39):
Absolutely.
We really truly believe incommunity and the power of
education to really support andtransform a community.
So one of the efforts we'reinvolved in right now is
reimagining how we supportEnglish language learning here
in Lincoln City.
Oregon Coast Community Collegeis standing up a new model to
(13:01):
provide those services.
So we are starting a basicEnglish class on Monday nights
and Thursday mornings for Forpeople who have no English, want
to move up from being adishwasher to a busser and need
to learn, would you like morecoffee with that?
Or can I take your plate?
And then we're also going to doan advanced English class on
(13:23):
Thursday nights at St.
Peter Fisherman for thosestudents who are ready for
academic, professional, andtechnical English so that they
can potentially go to college orget a professional job.
SPEAKER_02 (13:35):
Is there any program that goes the other way that
would take somebody like myselfand teach me Spanish versus the
Spanish being taught English?
SPEAKER_07 (13:48):
That's an excellent question.
I have a neighbor who's acontractor who said, Kim, I need
to learn Spanish so I can talkto my employees.
And I go over to his house and Iteach him Spanish.
So if there's a need, we'redefinitely open to talking about
how to make that more availableto people.
SPEAKER_02 (14:05):
Now, you talked about the fact that you are a
grant writer.
You're writing grantsspecifically for particular
projects or what, Kim?
SPEAKER_07 (14:13):
So I teach at Oregon Coast Community College, as well
as being the grant writer forConexion Phoenix.
Like everyone in ourorganization, we all wear really
different hats and try andjuggle as many things as we can.
So we're writing grants tosupport the education program.
We're supported by OregonCommunity Foundation and Oregon
(14:34):
Humanities, particularly tocelebrate Day of the Dead at no
cost to our community.
And we're always looking foropportunities to support our
community and find services forthem.
SPEAKER_02 (14:47):
If somebody wants to get a hold of you, get involved
with your programs, how do I dothat?
SPEAKER_07 (14:53):
So we do have a website.
It's conexionphoenix2022.org andwe have a little button where
you say contact us and we'rehappy to reach out.
Or we have a Facebook page alsonamed Conexion Phoenix.
The little icon is a picture ofa phoenix.
So that's the way that you knowthat you found us.
SPEAKER_03 (15:12):
In Oregon, there are 30 state senators, and we are
lucky to have Senator DickAnderson on the coast standing
up for our voices in Salem.
Senator Anderson has been calledthe most effective senator in
Salem.
He has passed landmark housingand homeless legislation, funded
police, criminalized hard drugsagain, stood up for local school
boards, and has sent over$100million in investments back to
(15:33):
coastal communities for housing,mental health, healthcare, and
infrastructure investments.
Being effective only matters ifit works.
This is why he has been endorsedby nearly every mayor in his
district.
Senator Anderson is local.
He understands how the small,rural communities struggle to
keep law enforcement and firefunded, attract jobs, and build
more housing.
(15:54):
There is more work to be done.
This is why Senator Anderson isrunning for re-election asking
for your vote.
Please go to SenatorAnderson.comand volunteer a yard sign
location.
Volunteer or even donate.
Senator Dick Anderson.
Leadership that works.
Paid for by Anderson for Oregon.
Hack number 20255.
SPEAKER_02 (16:14):
25 years ago, a group of people got together
because people were fallingthrough the cracks, so to speak,
and we began to raise money, andthe money was then distributed
through a nonprofit calledAngels Anonymous.
25 years later, we come to theAngel Ball.
With us is Phil Robertson, andPhil is this year's chair of
(16:36):
that event.
Co-chair.
Co-chair of this year's event,and the other chair is?
Don Brenemis.
Don Brenemis, okay.
Yeah, we couldn't do it withouther.
But this is 25 years ofexcitement coming forth, coming
December 7th.
SPEAKER_13 (16:50):
Yeah, well, we as a group, it's a board, we decided
this year that we would kind ofdo a little extra this year, and
so we did.
We are bringing in a Polynesian,hot lava Polynesian, show and it
is a full and immersive lasvegas style show that is going
to be fantastic it's so much funyou know these people i do i've

SPEAKER_02 (17:24):
The show will be part of the auction.
SPEAKER_13 (17:27):
Correct.
And the auction is of the trees.
Right, that's our main focus.
That's our biggest fundraiser ofthe year.
We have businesses and nonprofitorganizations buy trees from us.
They decorate the trees for us,and then we auction the trees
off.
Some of the trees have someamazing accoutrements that go
with it.
I mean, we've had everythingfrom a gun safe to furniture to
smaller things like a tree madeof wine that I think you're
(17:50):
familiar with.
SPEAKER_02 (17:50):
Oh, yeah.
I've heard of
SPEAKER_13 (17:52):
that.
Yeah, so anyway, we have thoseauctions go on for, well, that
evening, but you can buy thattree the week of prior, so we'll
have the trees on displaybeginning on December 4th, and
then they're on display up toSaturday, December 7th, and
that's the night we have theball.
SPEAKER_02 (18:08):
Okay, let's go back again with the ball.
Not only do we have thePolynesian review, if you will,
but the food will be...
SPEAKER_13 (18:15):
Yeah, it's an authentic meal prepared by
Chinook Wins.
They're going to be doing abuffet style, and I don't have
the in front of me, but it isamazing.
It looks really good.
I mean, everything's traditionalstyle of Hawaiian, Polynesian
type of meal.
Now, I'm
SPEAKER_02 (18:29):
going to ask, are they going to be cooking the pig
in a pit?
SPEAKER_13 (18:32):
We won't have the pit, but
SPEAKER_02 (18:34):
we'll have the pig.
Okay.
We'll have the pig.
Got to have that.
Yes, exactly.
It is an amazing event.
It raises a lot of money.
It also raises a lot ofawareness of what Angels
Anonymous does.
SPEAKER_13 (18:46):
Right.
I think we had the numberrecently.
It's over a million dollars thatAngels has done.
Yes.
In the 25 years.
And, you know, as a firesurvivor of that tragic couple
four years ago, angels wentabove and beyond by giving
people$1,000.
Everyone who suffered.
No questions asked.
No questions asked.
And that's not the way wenormally give money away.
(19:07):
No, no, no, no.
But that just goes to show youthe kind of hearts that the
angel board has.
It's like, okay, wait a minute.
This is a tragedy.
This is an event.
We've got to do something.
And they did.
And it's amazing.
So, yeah, it's an amazing amountof money that we have raised
over the years, and I'm honoredto be part of it.
SPEAKER_02 (19:21):
A million dollars in 25 years is
SPEAKER_13 (19:25):
a lot of money.
Considering you started offwith, what,$10,000?
SPEAKER_02 (19:28):
Yeah.
In fact, we were really cuttingthe fat hog with that.
SPEAKER_13 (19:32):
Well, when I joined the board, I guess going on 15
years ago, yeah, we weren't asflush as we are now.
And it is amazing the amount ofmoney that we were able to raise
and help and continue to help.
And again, kudos also, I shouldsay, to Chinook Winds Casino
Resort.
Oh, yes.
Because they host our event, andwithout them, we wouldn't be
able to put this on.
SPEAKER_02 (19:49):
Not only do they host the event, we get the use
of their facilities, all ofthose rooms for all of that
period of time.
Well, and then they help us setthe trees
SPEAKER_13 (19:58):
up.
I mean, they help decorate.
They really go above and beyond.
I mean, they're havingexceptional banquet facilities
up there to begin with, LoriRobinson and her whole team.
But they go above and beyondwith angels.
Because they really appreciatewhat we do.
And I think some of them people,I know for a fact, have been
helped by angels before.
And, you know, so they have alittle extra oomph when it comes
(20:19):
to saying, oh, yeah, I'm goingto do whatever I can for Angels
Anonymous.

It is just a wonderful event,but they need your help.
They need candy.
They need money so they can buymore candy.
It is amazing.

SPEAKER_12 (25:13):
Right, yeah, yeah.
It's an opportunity to sharesome of that spooky fun as well.
So, yeah, don't be shy to put onsome costumes and enjoy the

SPEAKER_02 (25:24):
And coming up on October the 11th, tomorrow, bird
watching.
Explore Lincoln City's websitehas got all the information
about bird watching.
The Seven Capes Bird Alliance,he said, is the newest name for
this group.
It's not the Audubon Society.
SPEAKER_12 (25:40):
Correct, yeah.
The Audubon Society of LincolnCity has been renamed, and now
it's called the Seven Capes BirdAlliance.
We also still share that officewith them down below City Hall,
too.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Very good.
And it is a very active group.
Oh, they've got a great numberof volunteers and some paid
staff, too.
(26:01):
They've been writing grants andcreating some opportunities and
resources here in North LincolnCounty.
SPEAKER_02 (26:06):
Something that's going to get the birds off the
lake for a short period of timeis the speedboat races on On
Devil's Lake, October 12th, theRocky Stone Memorial Kilo Races
will be taking place.
And it's primarily against theclock.
SPEAKER_12 (26:20):
Yeah, it's a timed race.
And, you know, Devil's Lake hasbeen known, and probably still
is if you check the recordbooks, as the fastest lake in
the world sometimes.
You know, the U.S.
at least.
And that's because it is almostat sea level.
Yeah, yeah.
Sea level has a lot to do withthe combustion of those motors
as a result.
So you have the highest airpressure You've got one
(26:42):
atmosphere of air above you.
And so when you're racing at sealevel and you've got one of
these hydroplane boats, you canset some world records.
SPEAKER_02 (26:53):
You may not see a whole lot of it, but you
certainly will hear about it.
Yes, indeed.
You certainly will hear aboutit.
SPEAKER_12 (27:00):

Four generations of Morganscaring for your every grocery
need.
All of your favorite beverages,a full deli, meat, produce, and
of course, groceries.
Oregon Coast Community College,Lincoln City, Lincoln County has
got an offering for most anybodyand everybody.
(01:29):
With me is Dave Price.
You have a number of communityed classes and community ed
really means what, Dave?
SPEAKER_08 (01:35):
It means it's a class that you, me, even
producer Paul can just show upand go and attend.
There's no registration forcollege.
There's no financial aid.
There's no application.
It's just, hey, I want toregister for this class.
Here's my 20 bucks.
I want to take this or whateverthe course might cost.
And so it's a variety ofdifferent things that are open
to the entire community,everyone of all ages.
(01:56):
And so if what you want to dothis term is, you know what, I
haven't been scuba certified in20 years.
I want to go back to IslaMujeres.
I'm going to take thatcertification.
We've got SCUBA for you.
If you think you might have anew opportunity at work, if you
could get a first aid CPRcertification.
First time in a long time, we'vegot first aid certification.
SPEAKER_02 (02:16):
Where does the dream, if you will, come from to
come up with the ideas for allof these community ed programs?
SPEAKER_08 (02:25):
Well, there are a few that I'm passionate about
that I try to find instructorsfor, but generally speaking, We
offer what the instructor wants.
And a great example of that thisyear is a gentleman named Frank
Ward came to me.
I think I met him at BloomNewport, which is just an event
in the parking lot at thePerforming Arts Center this
summer.
I was there talking about thebond with a table for the
(02:45):
college.
And this guy said, hey, I'd liketo teach people how to build
wooden boats.
Can we do that at the college?
And I was like, well, sure.
Tell me more.
And so he's going to offer aworkshop this fall that is going
to tell people all about howthey can build a beautiful
wooden boat.
And then if there's enoughinterest, we're gonna actually
(03:05):
not only have this one-timeworkshop, but we're gonna create
a week-long build your own boatwith Frank Ward.
And, you know, Frank lives inCutler City and I took pictures
of him paddling around on theSiletz Bay.
It's a beautiful craft and itcosts a piece of money.
But if you learn from Frank thatyou want to build your own boat,
we're going to help you do that.
SPEAKER_02 (03:27):
That is just absolutely phenomenal.
And I assume that there'sprobably a limited number of
positions that people can takethis class at any given time.
SPEAKER_08 (03:37):
Well, in terms of taking this first workshop I
think we could put 30 or 40people into it.
And then maybe out of that, fiveor six people will say, yeah, I
think I really have room in mygarage for that boat.
I think I really have room in mybudget to do this.
And I think I have the skillswith some expert assistants.
to do this.
And Frank believes that justabout anybody with any level or
(03:58):
lack thereof of wood craftingskills can manage this with some
assistance.
SPEAKER_02 (04:03):
I would assume that anybody can take, if you're from
Newport and you want to takeclass in Lincoln City, you can
do that or vice versa.
You want to go, you're fromLincoln City, you want to go to
Walport or something in Walport.
SPEAKER_08 (04:15):
Totally.
For years and years, our onlyguitar class has been Richard
Paris and he teaches up here inLincoln City and more than half
of his students drive fromNewport or Point South.
And so it just is what it is.
I love this commute.
I do it all the time.
And there's no better time to dothis commute than the fall
because you don't have terribleweather yet and you don't have
summer traffic.
(04:35):
It's just the time to go up anddown and to explore our
beautiful campus.
If you haven't been to ourcampus in Newport, go take a
class and you'll really get akick out of it.
SPEAKER_02 (04:43):
Of all of the classes offerings that community
college has, are there morefull-time students or more
community type students?
SPEAKER_08 (04:52):
Oh, the full-time students outnumber the community
ed students, but that's nothingto sneeze at because we're going
to have about a thousandcommunity ed students in our
programs this academic year.
I've already got 470, I justlooked at this today,
registrations for our fall term.
And as you and I are speakingnow, I'm not sure when this is
going to air, we're still amonth out from this term
(05:14):
starting.
And so it may be that we put1500 students through our
community ed program this year,but we'll probably do at least
that many credit studentsbecause we're or so many of our
credit students are working on atwo-year degree, but it may take
seven years because they've gota full-time job.
They've got kids in school.
So if they can get one chemistryclass and one science class or
(05:36):
writing knocked out of theirgoal each term or even every
other term, they're still ontrack in their minds, and we're
happy to let them take as longas they need to be successful.
SPEAKER_02 (05:46):
I'm going to ask you a question that I asked you at
the Qantas meeting about oldhides like myself auditing
clients.
Talk about that.
SPEAKER_08 (05:54):
We'd love to have you.
We'd love to have you.
And you don't look a day over29, Roger, but we have a senior
waiver program.
And I don't like using that wordbecause anybody over age 60
could take a credit class atOregon Coast Community College
with zero tuition.
But I need to hasten to add thatwe do charge fees.
And so there might be$25 orcredit fee for our technology or
(06:14):
what have you.
So there's going to be somecost, but you're going to save
$125 per credit hour.
So that's a minimum of about$400to$600 that you're saving.
And best of all, you only haveto take the final if you want
to, Roger.
SPEAKER_02 (06:28):
Do you have a number of students that do that?
SPEAKER_08 (06:31):
Oh, yeah.
We have a ton of students thatdo it.
And imagine how rich it makesthe classroom.
My son just graduated fromOregon Coast Community College
in June.
Shout out to Parker.
And in his class, he would comehome and talk about the
conversations they had.
And he would talk about this70-year-old that he was having a
conversation about publicspeaking or even U.S.
history with.
(06:51):
And next to the 14-year-oldwho's an early college student.
And Parker's somewhere inbetween.
And that's marvelous.
I mean, think of the depth ofexperience in the community that
you build by having all thesedifferent ages come together to
learn.
I mean, it's the best thingthere is.
SPEAKER_02 (07:09):
Oregon Coast Community College has got to be
a passion of Dave Price.
SPEAKER_08 (07:14):
It totally is.
I've been here longer than I'vehad any other job in my entire
life.
And I started here in 2012 ormaybe January of 13.
I actually walked in the door.
But I love the place.
And I think we've accomplished agreat deal.
And I can't wait to see what wedo next.
SPEAKER_04 (07:32):
Bob's Beach Books in the Ocean Lake area of Lincoln
City does in fact have whatyou'll want to read.
I'm Diana Portwood, and if wehappen to be out of a particular
bestseller, in a day or two,we'll have it back in the store
waiting for you.
Bob's Beach Books, so you canjoin the conversation.
SPEAKER_01 (07:45):
We may be young, but we are experienced.
Hi, Adina Zeller here, andZeller's restaurants are now a
year old, but the experience inpreparing and serving food goes
way back generations.
Zeller's Lincoln City and RoseLodge, come on in.
SPEAKER_06 (07:59):
Wouldn't it be great to have all your insurance needs
handled by one agent This isCharlotte Lado with Farmers
Insurance and the InsuranceStore.
Visit our office next to theWildflower Grill in Lincoln
City.
Let us be your one stop for yourpersonal, commercial, health,
and Medicare insurance needs.
SPEAKER_00 (08:15):
We at La Roca are proud of our food, but don't
take our word for it.
Read the reviews.
One person wrote, the servicewas friendly and efficient.
Another writes, La Roca hasbecome one of our favorites
because it's authentic Mexicanfood.
SPEAKER_02 (08:33):
The Latino population in North Lincoln
County is critically importantto the economy of the area.
With me right now is Kim Putman,and Kim is a grant writer for
Phoenix Connection, but inHispanic it is...
SPEAKER_07 (08:48):
Conexión Phoenix.
SPEAKER_02 (08:50):
And what is that?
SPEAKER_07 (08:51):
Conexion Phoenix is an organization that grew out of
relief efforts from the EchoMountain Fire.
We started as just a littlesubcommittee trying to reach out
to Hispanic families to makesure that they were doing fire
recovery and getting theservices that they needed.
SPEAKER_02 (09:07):
They probably were a little hesitant to come forward,
or were they?
SPEAKER_07 (09:11):
It was a little scary to try and navigate all of
the systems and organizationsthat were here trying to help
people survive the fire andrecover after the devastation.
So having a specificorganization together to reach
out to those families wascritically important in making
sure those families got theservices that they needed.
SPEAKER_02 (09:31):
Approximately how many families were you
assisting?
I
SPEAKER_07 (09:35):
don't have specific numbers about that, but I know
that the families were verygrateful for the services we
were able to provide to them inSpanish.
We had mental health folks comefrom the valley to talk with
people about their specificexperiences during the fire.
We were able to provide listos,which was an emergency response
(09:56):
and preparedness class inSpanish for those families as
well.
And from those seats, we justcontinued to grow as a family.
our fire relief efforts taperedoff, we realized that there were
many families in North LincolnCounty who weren't getting the
services that they needed andweren't able to build community.
So we invented ourselves asConexion Phoenix.
(10:18):
We say out of the ashes, thephoenix will fly.
And now we serve all of thefamilies for North Lincoln
County here with Latinxservices.
SPEAKER_02 (10:28):
Are you finding more Latino families coming forward
asking for some assistance, somehelp, some Absolutely.
SPEAKER_07 (10:36):
We have great success.
We've celebrated things like Diade los Muertos, Day of the Dead,
and Cinco de Mayo for severalyears, and we often have
hundreds of people showing up atour celebrations.
SPEAKER_02 (10:49):
And that takes place when and where?
Day
SPEAKER_07 (10:56):
of the Dead is Halloween, correct?
(11:22):
I didn't realize how importantthat
SPEAKER_02 (11:33):
is to the Mexican community until I was actually
in Mazatlan.
during Day of the Dead, and itwas just a fiesta that was
second to none.
SPEAKER_07 (11:46):
It's incredible.
When you think of reallyacknowledging the people who
love you, who have gone beforeyou, the joy and connection in
that, as well as the sadnessthat they're no longer with us,
being able to celebrate thepower of that, and then connect
with your friends and family whoare still here, really makes a
difference.
SPEAKER_02 (12:06):
Now, again, you said this is going to be November 1st
at the library.
Who can attend?
SPEAKER_07 (12:11):
Anyone is welcome to attend.
Although the altar and some ofthe information will be in
Spanish, truly anyone who wantsto come be part of this
community, eat the good food,enjoy the celebration is truly
welcome.
SPEAKER_02 (12:26):
Now, your organization is involved with
lots of Oregon Coast CommunityCollege, Samaritan North Lincoln
Hospital, lots of differentservices you've brought into the
fold, if you will, correct?
SPEAKER_07 (12:39):
Absolutely.
We really truly believe incommunity and the power of
education to really support andtransform a community.
So one of the efforts we'reinvolved in right now is
reimagining how we supportEnglish language learning here
in Lincoln City.
Oregon Coast Community Collegeis standing up a new model to
(13:01):
provide those services.
So we are starting a basicEnglish class on Monday nights
and Thursday mornings for Forpeople who have no English, want
to move up from being adishwasher to a busser and need
to learn, would you like morecoffee with that?
Or can I take your plate?
And then we're also going to doan advanced English class on
(13:23):
Thursday nights at St.
Peter Fisherman for thosestudents who are ready for
academic, professional, andtechnical English so that they
can potentially go to college orget a professional job.
SPEAKER_02 (13:35):
Is there any program that goes the other way that
would take somebody like myselfand teach me Spanish versus the
Spanish being taught English?
SPEAKER_07 (13:48):
That's an excellent question.
I have a neighbor who's acontractor who said, Kim, I need
to learn Spanish so I can talkto my employees.
And I go over to his house and Iteach him Spanish.
So if there's a need, we'redefinitely open to talking about
how to make that more availableto people.
SPEAKER_02 (14:05):
Now, you talked about the fact that you are a
grant writer.
You're writing grantsspecifically for particular
projects or what, Kim?
SPEAKER_07 (14:13):
So I teach at Oregon Coast Community College, as well
as being the grant writer forConexion Phoenix.
Like everyone in ourorganization, we all wear really
different hats and try andjuggle as many things as we can.
So we're writing grants tosupport the education program.
We're supported by OregonCommunity Foundation and Oregon
(14:34):
Humanities, particularly tocelebrate Day of the Dead at no
cost to our community.
And we're always looking foropportunities to support our
community and find services forthem.
SPEAKER_02 (14:47):
If somebody wants to get a hold of you, get involved
with your programs, how do I dothat?
SPEAKER_07 (14:53):
So we do have a website.
It's conexionphoenix2022.org andwe have a little button where
you say contact us and we'rehappy to reach out.
Or we have a Facebook page alsonamed Conexion Phoenix.
The little icon is a picture ofa phoenix.
So that's the way that you knowthat you found us.
SPEAKER_03 (15:12):
In Oregon, there are 30 state senators, and we are
lucky to have Senator DickAnderson on the coast standing
up for our voices in Salem.
Senator Anderson has been calledthe most effective senator in
Salem.
He has passed landmark housingand homeless legislation, funded
police, criminalized hard drugsagain, stood up for local school
boards, and has sent over$100million in investments back to
(15:33):
coastal communities for housing,mental health, healthcare, and
infrastructure investments.
Being effective only matters ifit works.
This is why he has been endorsedby nearly every mayor in his
district.
Senator Anderson is local.
He understands how the small,rural communities struggle to
keep law enforcement and firefunded, attract jobs, and build
more housing.
(15:54):
There is more work to be done.
This is why Senator Anderson isrunning for re-election asking
for your vote.
Please go to SenatorAnderson.comand volunteer a yard sign
location.
Volunteer or even donate.
Senator Dick Anderson.
Leadership that works.
Paid for by Anderson for Oregon.
Hack number 20255.
SPEAKER_02 (16:14):
25 years ago, a group of people got together
because people were fallingthrough the cracks, so to speak,
and we began to raise money, andthe money was then distributed
through a nonprofit calledAngels Anonymous.
25 years later, we come to theAngel Ball.
With us is Phil Robertson, andPhil is this year's chair of
(16:36):
that event.
Co-chair.
Co-chair of this year's event,and the other chair is?
Don Brenemis.
Don Brenemis, okay.
Yeah, we couldn't do it withouther.
But this is 25 years ofexcitement coming forth, coming
December 7th.
SPEAKER_13 (16:50):
Yeah, well, we as a group, it's a board, we decided
this year that we would kind ofdo a little extra this year, and
so we did.
We are bringing in a Polynesian,hot lava Polynesian, show and it
is a full and immersive lasvegas style show that is going

SPEAKER_02 (17:24):
The show will be part of the auction.
SPEAKER_13 (17:27):
Correct.
And the auction is of the trees.
Right, that's our main focus.
That's our biggest fundraiser ofthe year.
We have businesses and nonprofitorganizations buy trees from us.
They decorate the trees for us,and then we auction the trees
off.
Some of the trees have someamazing accoutrements that go
with it.
I mean, we've had everythingfrom a gun safe to furniture to
smaller things like a tree madeof wine that I think you're
(17:50):
familiar with.
SPEAKER_02 (17:50):
Oh, yeah.
I've heard of
SPEAKER_13 (17:52):
that.
Yeah, so anyway, we have thoseauctions go on for, well, that
evening, but you can buy thattree the week of prior, so we'll
have the trees on displaybeginning on December 4th, and
then they're on display up toSaturday, December 7th, and
that's the night we have theball.
SPEAKER_02 (18:08):
Okay, let's go back again with the ball.
Not only do we have thePolynesian review, if you will,
but the food will be...
SPEAKER_13 (18:15):
Yeah, it's an authentic meal prepared by
Chinook Wins.
They're going to be doing abuffet style, and I don't have
the in front of me, but it isamazing.
It looks really good.
I mean, everything's traditionalstyle of Hawaiian, Polynesian
type of meal.
Now, I'm
SPEAKER_02 (18:29):
going to ask, are they going to be cooking the pig
in a pit?
SPEAKER_13 (18:32):
We won't have the pit, but
SPEAKER_02 (18:34):
we'll have the pig.
Okay.
We'll have the pig.
Got to have that.
Yes, exactly.
It is an amazing event.
It raises a lot of money.
It also raises a lot ofawareness of what Angels
Anonymous does.
SPEAKER_13 (18:46):
Right.
I think we had the numberrecently.
It's over a million dollars thatAngels has done.
Yes.
In the 25 years.
And, you know, as a firesurvivor of that tragic couple
four years ago, angels wentabove and beyond by giving
people$1,000.
Everyone who suffered.
No questions asked.
No questions asked.
And that's not the way wenormally give money away.
(19:07):
No, no, no, no.
But that just goes to show youthe kind of hearts that the
angel board has.
It's like, okay, wait a minute.
This is a tragedy.
This is an event.
We've got to do something.
And they did.
And it's amazing.
So, yeah, it's an amazing amountof money that we have raised
over the years, and I'm honoredto be part of it.
SPEAKER_02 (19:21):
A million dollars in 25 years is
SPEAKER_13 (19:25):
a lot of money.
Considering you started offwith, what,$10,000?
SPEAKER_02 (19:28):
Yeah.
In fact, we were really cuttingthe fat hog with that.
SPEAKER_13 (19:32):
Well, when I joined the board, I guess going on 15
years ago, yeah, we weren't asflush as we are now.
And it is amazing the amount ofmoney that we were able to raise
and help and continue to help.
And again, kudos also, I shouldsay, to Chinook Winds Casino
Resort.
Oh, yes.
Because they host our event, andwithout them, we wouldn't be
able to put this on.
SPEAKER_02 (19:49):
Not only do they host the event, we get the use
of their facilities, all ofthose rooms for all of that
period of time.
Well, and then they help us setthe trees
SPEAKER_13 (19:58):
up.
I mean, they help decorate.
They really go above and beyond.
I mean, they're havingexceptional banquet facilities
up there to begin with, LoriRobinson and her whole team.
But they go above and beyondwith angels.
Because they really appreciatewhat we do.
And I think some of them people,I know for a fact, have been
helped by angels before.
And, you know, so they have alittle extra oomph when it comes
(20:19):
to saying, oh, yeah, I'm goingto do whatever I can for Angels
Anonymous.
SPEAKER_02 (20:21):
Now, if somebody wants to attend, we have tickets

will be taking place.
And it's primarily against theclock.
SPEAKER_12 (26:20):
Yeah, it's a timed race.
And, you know, Devil's Lake hasbeen known, and probably still
is if you check the recordbooks, as the fastest lake in
the world sometimes.
You know, the U.S.
at least.
And that's because it is almostat sea level.
Yeah, yeah.
Sea level has a lot to do withthe combustion of those motors
as a result.
So you have the highest airpressure You've got one

certainly will hear about it.
