So if you haven't been aware ofthat program, it's actually
(00:59):
only in its 33rd
RR (01:00):
year.
33rd
Son-Paul (01:01):
year.
I was astonished by that.
RR (01:03):
Yeah.
33 years this program has beengoing on.
And it draws people togetherand stay friends for a long time
to come.
Son-Paul (01:11):
Yeah.
And then speaking of drawingpeople together, music.
We've got a couple of ladsgoing to be talking about some
music they're going to beputting on.
Some locals from the LincolnCounty area putting on some
music at the Lincoln CityCultural Center coming up here.
RR (01:24):
More coming up right after this.
Prepare (01:26):

(01:48):
Join us for the Lincoln CityPrepare Fair.
Thank you to our sponsors,Northwest Natural and North
Lincoln Fire Department.
RR (01:54):
We have with us next the Economic Development Alliance
Director, Paul Schuytema, I'msorry, I got turned around.
Welcome, Paul.
Paul Schuytema (02:03):
Well, thank you.
So glad to be here.
It's taken me a while to gethere, but I'm glad I'm here.
RR (02:07):
Economic Development Alliance of Lincoln County is
what?
Paul Schuytema (02:11):
That's a good question.
And sometimes I believeeverybody knows who we are
already, but no one does.
We're what they call an EDO, anEconomic Development
Organization, or an EconomicSupport Organization.
We're a small independentnonprofit that's been serving
Lincoln County as the officialeconomic development
(02:33):
organization for the last 31years.
I'm only the third executivedirector, so there's been a lot
of continuity.
And basically what we do, ifyou use like a gardening
metaphor, we're not the peoplewho directly tend the plants.
That's more like the SmallBusiness Development Center
who's like pruning the plants ifa plant is a business.
Jana (02:54):
Yeah.
Paul Schuytema (02:54):
We're kind of looking at the whole garden as a
whole and trying to fertilizethe soil and trying to create an
atmosphere of economic vitalitycountywide.
We serve the entire county fromall the way up to Rose Lodge,
all the way down to Yahats.
RR (03:11):
So do you provide funding or do you provide manpower
research?
What do you provide?
Paul Schuytema (03:16):
All sorts of different things like that.
I'll give you a coupleexamples.
One example is we manage fourlinkages.
Lincoln County, thegovernmental unit, we manage
their community and economicdevelopment grant program.
It's an annual grant programthat provides grants up to
$15,000 in one category, up to$60,000 in another for
(03:39):
nonprofits, municipalities, andcompanies to try something
innovative in economicdevelopment in Lincoln County.
So
RR (03:46):
it's government to government?
Paul Schuytema (03:48):
Yeah, government to government or government to
nonprofits or government tobusiness through a nonprofit.
But we administer that program.
We market it.
We create training forapplicants to better apply for
those grants.
And we grant out about $130,000a year.
Really?
Through that program.
(04:09):
But another thing that we'vebeen working on is a couple
years back, and we're at thevery tail end of this, like
literally the last couple weeks,is we received a million dollar
congressionally directedspending grant to help spend
Spur Innovation in Oregon's BlueEconomy Coastwide.
And Blue Economy is like anocean-reliant business.
(04:31):
Obviously, commercial fishing,tourism, ocean tourism can be
that.
But it could be something likeinnovative aquaculture or
something like that.
And we've granted out probablyclose to half a million dollars
over the last two years to smallstartups.
It's like one example inNewport is a company called the
(04:52):
Ooni Sea Urchin Ranch.
where they go and harvest bydiving zombie purple sea urchins
from the south coast of Oregon,bring them to their facilities
in Newport where they can sortof fatten them up.
And the uni is sort of the fishroe, the kind of the caviar of
the urchins, super valuablestuff.
(05:13):
They can harvest those and thensend them FedEx to like fancy
restaurants in Portland orSeattle.
So wild stuff.
Interesting.
Looking for those interesting,innovative business ideas and
how can we maybe seed and helpthem.
That's one of the things we do.
Another thing that we focus ona lot is how to help our
(05:39):
entrepreneurs, the businessstartups, and a lot of those are
super small companies allthroughout Lincoln County,
create a network of support.
The Small Business DevelopmentCenter provides what they call
technical assistance.
So if you need help on yourfinancials or something.
SBDC is awesome here.
They can do that.
But we can help kind of createa network for these
(06:03):
entrepreneurs to sort of sharebest practices but also horror
stories.
And one of the cool things thatwe do is every year we run an
event called a Fail Fest.
And it's basically celebratingfailure in business and we run
it like a comedy club.
And we have businesses come inwho are willing to share how
(06:24):
they screwed up and what theylearned from that kind of like a
comic would come up and tellsome jokes and it's it's a it's
an amazingly moving andsupportive experience
RR (06:36):
when and where and who could attend
Paul Schuytema (06:38):
anyone can attend the last one that we had
was in october of last year sowe're getting ready to start
gearing up for the fall of thisyear last one we had was at
primal tones in newport thisyear we're probably going to do
it up in lincoln city find acool venue um but we have, you
know, an MC.
It's, you know, people can geta pint and it's amazing.
(07:00):
When you ask a business, areyou willing to share your story
of failure?
They clam up right away, butyou start talking to them and
they're like, oh, I can see howthis could be helpful.
To somebody else
RR (07:11):
and or to themselves.
Paul Schuytema (07:13):
Yeah, and you talk to them after they've sort
of bared their soul to this roomof supportive people and
they're like, that wastransformational.
I was able to see how I couldhelp other businesses not step
on that landmine or thatlandmine.
RR (07:27):
So how do I get involved with you and the Economic
Development Alliance of LincolnCounty?
Paul Schuytema (07:33):
Well, I mean, I'd say probably the best thing
to do is get on our mailinglist.
Our website isbusinesslincolncounty.com.
We have a lot of like economicresearch and tools and things
like that.
But we also have a quarterlymailing list.
We are not spammers or tryingto get anything, but we share
information about what we'retrying to do and what we see in
(07:56):
Lincoln County's economy.
And then we also, in the springof each year, put on a Lincoln
County Economic Summit where webring government leaders,
business leaders, entrepreneurs,business owners, speakers from
all over the West Coast togetherto kind of talk about and
discover what's changed in oureconomy, what's coming down the
(08:19):
road.
So those are two great ways toget involved.
And it's a an accidental careerof mine.
I started out as anentrepreneur and started to see
how these organizations that canhelp and support businesses are
that scaffolding that can makea business do even better.
(08:39):
And it's an honor to do thiswork.
RR (08:42):
Hope to have you back and come back in October and talk
again about this special event.
Paul Schuytema (08:47):
Oh, absolutely.
We'd love to.
We'd love to.
RR (08:49):
I'm intrigued by that.
Probably if we can bring inWoody your associates that will
be speaking that night.
Paul Schuytema (08:58):
Oh, that would be wonderful.
Yeah, I'd love to share that.

The North County Coordinatorfor Oregon Coast Community
College, Leslie Melrose-High iswith us.
North County Coordinator meanswhat?
Lesley Melrose-High (10:13):
Well, as the North County Coordinator for
Oregon Coast Community College,my role is primarily talking
with everyone here, being avoice and a face that folks in
the community can associate withthe college.
When you visit us at ourLincoln County location I'm the
person you see right when youwalk in.
If you give us a call, I'm thevoice on the other end of the
phone.
Beyond that, I also coordinateour community education program.
(10:36):
And this is what I'm reallywanting to talk about here
today.
I am also our college's liaisonto the Leadership Lincoln
Committee.
RR (10:45):
Now, Leadership Lincoln Committee is a county-wide
activity, correct?
Lesley Melrose-High (10:49):
Exactly.
It goes all the way fromLincoln City to Yahats.
We serve people in Waldport,Newport, Toledo.
So let's, anywhere in thecounty, you are eligible to come
and participate in this.
RR (11:03):
Let's talk about the program itself, Leadership Lincoln.
What is that?
Lesley Melrose-High (11:08):
Well, it's a lot of things, but if I had to
give you one word, I would say,or two words, I'd say
professional development.
Leadership Lincoln is a way forcommunity members to better
understand a variety ofdifferent programs and groups
that operate across our county.
You would have an opportunityto speak with your elected
(11:30):
officials, with sanitationworkers, with business leaders,
with obviously college staff,some of the members of the
college.
The program really giveseveryone an opportunity to dive
into the nuts and bolts of howthings get done in Lincoln
County.
And leading into that, it givesyou a great opportunity to do
(11:53):
some networking.
I
RR (11:54):
have heard from a number of people that have gone through
the program because it's not anew program to the community
college.
It's been going on for sometime, right?
Lesley Melrose-High (12:03):
Exactly.
This is our 33rd year doingLeadership Lincoln.
RR (12:07):
Oh, wow.
Lesley Melrose-High (12:07):
And the college has been a partner in
the program since the college'sinception in 1987.
So we've been in this for thelong haul.
RR (12:16):
But there's a bonding that comes about from the people who
participate in the program fromone end of the county to the
other.
It's something that only comesabout because of this program.
Lesley Melrose-High (12:27):
I would say so because Leadership Lincoln
has been such a force in ourcounty for the last 33 years.
It has really enabled a bunchof different communities to have
a much better understanding ofeach other than you might see in
other counties.
And that cooperation and thatcoordination allows us to
operate much more seamlessly andreally helps just a variety of
(12:50):
different things flow better.
RR (12:51):
So if I want to get into the program, obviously I go through
the community college, but howmuch does it cost?
Lesley Melrose-High (12:57):
So that's the sticky, right?
The price tag.
So tuition is $595 per student.
But what that tuition pays foris nine months.
So you get one class everymonth where you meet up with
your cohort of 29 otherstudents.
You'll get to listen to avariety of panelists that the
committee has brought in, like Isaid, from all different walks
(13:19):
of life and different areas ofcommerce in the community.
You'll have a chance to askquestions as well as participate
in a variety of variety ofdifferent activities to better
understand your leadership styleand how you can become an
active participant in some ofthese different, you might run
into nonprofit groups that havesomething that interests you or
(13:41):
different businesses that mightbe able to cooperate with your
business organization.
So I would really say this is afantastic opportunity, both for
individuals in the communitywho want to get to understand
our community better, as well asbusinesses who are looking for
some professional developmentopportunities It's just
absolutely golden in thatrespect.
RR (14:00):
How about the retired community?
Does the retired community takeadvantage of this as well?
Lesley Melrose-High (14:05):
Oh, absolutely.
I would say for our retiredfolks, this is a wonderful way
to really know where you'reliving and what sort of issues
might be affecting you,especially if you have fully
retired and you might not haveyour finger on the pulse of the
local economy anymore.
This would be an opportunityfor you to figure out what's
happening in the area.
What's new?
(14:26):
What's exciting?
What are people reallymotivated by right now.
RR (14:29):
So for the $500 plus, you get what?
Lesley Melrose-High (14:34):
Well, you get a full day of class with us
from 8.45 in the morning till3.30 p.m.
in the afternoon.
You get food, so you have lunchduring that, and then you get
opportunities to participate ina variety of activities, speak
with panelists, network withyour fellow class attendees, and
best of all, as a part of beingin Leadership Lincoln, you also
(14:57):
get to do a self-directedproject.
And for some of our students,this has turned into a
years-long commitment where theproject they started in
Leadership Lincoln morphed intoa nonprofit that's still going
to this day.
Talena King, one of our othercommittee members, when she sat
for, when she attendedLeadership Lincoln as a
(15:19):
participant, her project morphedinto a nonprofit she's still
running today.
RR (15:24):
Really?
Lesley Melrose-High (15:25):
Yeah, it is a great opportunity to get to
know people, get to know thecommunity, and just find your
niche here in Lincoln County.
RR (15:34):
I'm fascinated by this.
I have heard so much about itfor so many years and have never
participated.
What should I know to get meover the edge to join the
program?
Lesley Melrose-High (15:48):
I'd say if this all sounds interesting to
you, but you're still kind ofback and forth on it, really
consider What do you have tolose?
I mean, you might be out alittle bit of money, but I
haven't heard one person walkaway from this saying this has
been a waste of time.
Every past alumni I've spokenwith has had nothing but
(16:12):
positive experiences, excellentconnections with other people
and businesses, and has learnedjust volumes about the inner
operations of our county.
RR (16:22):
And finally, how do I enroll?
Lesley Melrose-High (16:23):
Well, the best way to enroll is going to
be visiting the Newport Chamberof Commerce at their website
under Leadership Lincoln, andthey have the registration links
on that page.
RR (16:37):
We appreciate you being here, Wesley Melrose High.
Again, the North CountyCoordinator.
Are all of the programs held inNewport or is it countywide?
Lesley Melrose-High (16:47):
It is countywide.
They will be held in a varietyof locations across the county,
and we'll even have some fieldtrips as well outside of regular
class days, which we'll visitVisit some places like hikes or
on-the-ground tours of variouslocations.
RR (17:02):
And finally, it starts when?
Lesley Melrose-High (17:03):
It'll be starting this month, September.

The music that you have and youperform is your own, correct?
Pat Magada (18:41):
It is, original.
RR (18:43):
Yeah.
And what brings you to LincolnCity?
Pat Magada (18:46):
I got here through my stepdad.
He was in the military, so wekind of moved around everywhere,
and we ended up in Lincoln Cityin 2009.
RR (18:57):
I
Pat Magada (18:57):
believe.
And then my mom was a musicianback in Manila.
And she would take me on hergigs with her band.
And I was five years old.
And all of a sudden, she wouldjust take me to sing in front of
a crowd.
And I remember they would giveme 100 pesos, like $2.
Oh, wow.
(19:17):
Big bucks.
To me, that was like, oh, Iwant to perform live.
I became a professional.
Yeah.
For Will.
Will Goble (19:27):
uh yeah well my parents bought a house across
the street from the lake we callit the lake house though years
like 2011 i think maybe evenbefore then and we literally
came down every weekend so ifyou were gonna hang out with me
you know and my friends theywere coming to the beach house
and we came for like well over iwant to say like eight years
every weekend long time and thenand then eventually we stopped
(19:50):
because i did my own thing sureand then eventually you know
life being what it is my wifegot a degree in while life
services and started a job downhere which is where she found
work and we moved into thathouse and we've been here for
like three years now so
RR (20:07):
the music tell me about the music that you guys perform is
it what's the background what'sthe sense of it
Pat Magada (20:14):
so it's all songs that I've written and I have a
hard time writing songs thatnever happened to me so all
these songs are literal kind ofdie re-entries into my life
heartbreak happinessachievements and actually one of
the first songs that I wrotethat I released is called
(20:37):
Painter's Stripes and it was tocelebrate my graduation I
graduated at Taft High and soPainter's Stripes is all about
overcoming and becoming the bestversion of who you are and yeah
and then Will is here to helpme
RR (20:56):
out but it is a Music, background, rock, jazz, blues.
What kind of genre does it fallinto?
Pat Magada (21:03):
I would describe it as indie synth pop, which is
kind of hard to find in thecoast.
Explain that.
Elaborate, please.
So indie because I currentlydon't have a label.
Okay.
Synth because I acquire a lotof kind of 80s, kind of
piano-based electronic stuffbecause I really loved EDM.
(21:26):
around 2016 when that came outso I really loved producing and
just creating weird sounds andputting it into
RR (21:35):
music weird sounds and music
Will Goble (21:38):
yeah it works more than it should really yeah
hustle well you know I metPatrick what like two years ago
now and he was taking pianolessons from my buddy Sweeney
who people in town probably knowwho he is and we just hit it
off immediately and he was likeI want to do a show and so I
started listening to his stuffand I was just blown away a by
(22:00):
the production value of it forsomeone who's doing this by
themselves you know in theirapartment or whatever it just
all sounds so professional butthen also he makes things really
hard as someone who's playingthis music with him a lot of
weird time signature stuff thathappens that shouldn't be
happening in pop music but hejust he puts in what sounds good
to him and what sounds good tohim you might not think would
sound good at first so then yousit down and listen to it and
(22:22):
you're like wow okay yeah thatworks and I'm really mad about
it but I want to keep listeningto it so And it gets stuck in
your head.
It's all I can think about nowsince we've been practicing.
RR (22:31):
That's great.
The concert is going to be atthe Cultural Center.
That's a pretty good venue.
Will Goble (22:36):
Yeah.
I've actually been taking ontrying to learn how to run their
sound system for Gray so thathe can start to try to relax a
little bit.
And it's been really fun.
And so getting to perform thereis really exciting.
And I mean, I've played there afew times.
And actually, we've playedthere at least once.
Yeah.
Just once.
RR (22:56):
Yeah, we So this isn't your first time out?
No.
Will Goble (23:00):
Okay.
No.
But this is the first time thatwe're going to try doing
something big.
We did a few small acousticshows over the years, and then I
finally got Patrick.
I convinced him to do a fewshows this year, which is a big
deal, and I'm really proud aboutit.
But we did a show at the Pinesfor his music video release
party that's blowing up rightnow.
(23:21):
It's at almost 100K views,which is insane.
Oh, that's big numbers.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
to him for that because that'sreally awesome.
And that show went really well.
And I was like, we need to doone more, at least one more big
one.
And so we're like, okay, well,the Pines is, you know, an open
public forum.
People were like, well, what'shappening?
We're trying to eat our food,go away.
And so I was like, well, let'sdo the cultural center.
We can make it ticketed andhopefully we can do something
(23:43):
huge, have all these lights, allthis crazy stuff and do
something big.
I mean, you know, it's ouridea.
I keep saying me because I'mselfish.
RR (23:49):
So is there a name to the group or do you?
Right now it's Patrick Magata.
It's Patrick Magata.
Will Goble (23:55):
That's not bad.
With
Zellers (23:56):
what?
We
Pat Magada (23:57):
were trying to agree to like, what was it?
2731.
2731.
Because I'm 27 years old.
He's 31.
Will Goble (24:05):
Yeah, I'm 31 and that's the big joke of the band.
It's very fun to make fun
RR (24:09):
of my age.
But you may want to continuelong past 27.
Pat Magada (24:12):
I hope so.
Will Goble (24:13):
Yeah.
Not part of the club, so that'sgood.
Pat Magada (24:16):
There you go.
Will Goble (24:17):
Yeah, I mean, that'll be, you know, if this
goes really well, we want toplan a trajectory for next year
to like really do shows and tryto break outside of Lincoln City
as much as possible.
But we want to show love tothis place where we've spent a
lot of our time and grown up
RR (24:29):
this place does have a tendency to grow on you
artistically does it not
Pat Magada (24:37):

the ocean or just walking aroundtown you get inspired
automatically to just write asong

RR (26:15):
You look around, and not a whole lot of organizations have
been around for 50
Son-Paul (26:19):
years.
No, I mean, that is a big mark,and I'm going to congratulate
you.
I wonder how many total numberof shows that would amount to.
Oh, goodness me.
RR (26:26):
Guess who was in the very first?
Son-Paul (26:30):
Oh, you?
RR (26:31):
Yes! Abe Lincoln here.
Yeah, but it was not intendedto be a Theatre West production.
It just turned out that waybecause they needed costumes and
whatever would happen to me,and they had them.
So they get to claim the veryfirst Theatre West production as
(26:52):
well.
So that was pretty fun.
This weekend Friday, tomorrow,September 5, it is Stuff-A-Bus
Friday.
Son-Paul (27:02):
Stuff-A-Bus Friday, yeah.
School is in session.
Coming down to record today, Isaw all the school buses.
Yeah, obviously it's happeningnow, but this is an opportunity
to raise some funds, bring somesupplies to support our student
body through the school year.
RR (27:19):
Now, we'll be there at 8 o'clock Friday morning to accept
your contributions, and we'llaccept them all afternoon and
throughout the afternoon andstarting at 10.
If you've got a student inschool, be whatever school it
happens to be.
Bring the student by and orjust come yourself because your
(27:39):
child may be in school at thetime.
You can come up to the mall andpick up a bag of school
supplies.
It's absolutely free of charge.
Our thanks to a cadre ofvolunteers that helped put this
together again year after year.
Year after
Son-Paul (27:57):
year, I was going to say the same,
RR (27:58):
yeah.
Yep.
Senior Fair coming up October7th, Celebration of Honor,
September 10, 11, and 12.
Surf City was spectacular.
That was in August.
I have not had a chance tothank specifically Chinook Wins
Casino Resort.
It raised over $18,000 forAngels Anonymous.
(28:19):
Amazing.
Which is huge, which isabsolutely huge.
And let's see.
I still wanted to remindeveryone everybody that the fall
is coming on.
You're going to be walkingmore.
Maybe some rain may begin tofall.
You want to make certain thatyou've got the right jacket on
so people, car drivers, see youfirst.
Son-Paul (28:42):
Right, yeah.
As soon as that twilight hourcomes there, it gets a little
darker earlier now and peopleare out walking around.
Time to put on a vest, right?
Absolutely.
Are they still doing those cert
RR (28:54):
vests again?
I believe they've still got afew left that they were putting
out.
So the cert, you can find themon sale at a number of places
around town.
It is critically important thatyou have that vest on so people
can make certain they see you.
You don't want to wind up beingunderneath a tire.
Anything else to your side ofthe table?

only in its 33rd
RR (01:00):

I was astonished by that.
RR (01:03):

Son-Paul (01:11):
Yeah.

(01:48):
Join us for the Lincoln CityPrepare Fair.
Thank you to our sponsors,Northwest Natural and North
Lincoln Fire Department.
RR (01:54):
We have with us next the Economic Development Alliance
Director, Paul Schuytema, I'msorry, I got turned around.
Welcome, Paul.
Paul Schuytema (02:03):
Well, thank you.
So glad to be here.
It's taken me a while to gethere, but I'm glad I'm here.
RR (02:07):
Economic Development Alliance of Lincoln County is
what?
Paul Schuytema (02:11):
That's a good question.
And sometimes I believeeverybody knows who we are
already, but no one does.
We're what they call an EDO, anEconomic Development
Organization, or an EconomicSupport Organization.
We're a small independentnonprofit that's been serving
Lincoln County as the officialeconomic development
(02:33):
organization for the last 31years.
I'm only the third executivedirector, so there's been a lot
of continuity.
And basically what we do, ifyou use like a gardening
metaphor, we're not the peoplewho directly tend the plants.
That's more like the SmallBusiness Development Center
who's like pruning the plants ifa plant is a business.
Jana (02:54):
Yeah.
Paul Schuytema (02:54):
We're kind of looking at the whole garden as a
whole and trying to fertilizethe soil and trying to create an
atmosphere of economic vitalitycountywide.
We serve the entire county fromall the way up to Rose Lodge,
all the way down to Yahats.
RR (03:11):
So do you provide funding or do you provide manpower
research?
What do you provide?
Paul Schuytema (03:16):
All sorts of different things like that.
I'll give you a coupleexamples.
One example is we manage fourlinkages.
Lincoln County, thegovernmental unit, we manage
their community and economicdevelopment grant program.
It's an annual grant programthat provides grants up to
$15,000 in one category, up to$60,000 in another for
(03:39):
nonprofits, municipalities, andcompanies to try something
innovative in economicdevelopment in Lincoln County.
So
RR (03:46):
it's government to government?
Paul Schuytema (03:48):
Yeah, government to government or government to
nonprofits or government tobusiness through a nonprofit.
But we administer that program.
We market it.
We create training forapplicants to better apply for
those grants.
And we grant out about $130,000a year.
Really?
Through that program.
(04:09):
But another thing that we'vebeen working on is a couple
years back, and we're at thevery tail end of this, like
literally the last couple weeks,is we received a million dollar
congressionally directedspending grant to help spend
Spur Innovation in Oregon's BlueEconomy Coastwide.
And Blue Economy is like anocean-reliant business.
(04:31):
Obviously, commercial fishing,tourism, ocean tourism can be
that.
But it could be something likeinnovative aquaculture or
something like that.
And we've granted out probablyclose to half a million dollars
over the last two years to smallstartups.
It's like one example inNewport is a company called the
(04:52):
Ooni Sea Urchin Ranch.
where they go and harvest bydiving zombie purple sea urchins
from the south coast of Oregon,bring them to their facilities
in Newport where they can sortof fatten them up.
And the uni is sort of the fishroe, the kind of the caviar of
the urchins, super valuablestuff.
(05:13):
They can harvest those and thensend them FedEx to like fancy
restaurants in Portland orSeattle.
So wild stuff.
Interesting.
Looking for those interesting,innovative business ideas and
how can we maybe seed and helpthem.
That's one of the things we do.
Another thing that we focus ona lot is how to help our
(05:39):
entrepreneurs, the businessstartups, and a lot of those are
super small companies allthroughout Lincoln County,
create a network of support.
The Small Business DevelopmentCenter provides what they call
technical assistance.
So if you need help on yourfinancials or something.
SBDC is awesome here.
They can do that.
But we can help kind of createa network for these
(06:03):
entrepreneurs to sort of sharebest practices but also horror
stories.
And one of the cool things thatwe do is every year we run an
event called a Fail Fest.
And it's basically celebratingfailure in business and we run
it like a comedy club.
And we have businesses come inwho are willing to share how
(06:24):
they screwed up and what theylearned from that kind of like a
comic would come up and tellsome jokes and it's it's a it's
an amazingly moving andsupportive experience
RR (06:36):
when and where and who could attend
Paul Schuytema (06:38):
anyone can attend the last one that we had
was in october of last year sowe're getting ready to start
gearing up for the fall of thisyear last one we had was at
primal tones in newport thisyear we're probably going to do
it up in lincoln city find acool venue um but we have, you
know, an MC.
It's, you know, people can geta pint and it's amazing.
(07:00):
When you ask a business, areyou willing to share your story
of failure?
They clam up right away, butyou start talking to them and
they're like, oh, I can see howthis could be helpful.
To somebody else
RR (07:11):
and or to themselves.
Paul Schuytema (07:13):
Yeah, and you talk to them after they've sort
of bared their soul to this roomof supportive people and
they're like, that wastransformational.
I was able to see how I couldhelp other businesses not step
on that landmine or thatlandmine.
RR (07:27):
So how do I get involved with you and the Economic
Development Alliance of LincolnCounty?
Paul Schuytema (07:33):
Well, I mean, I'd say probably the best thing
to do is get on our mailinglist.
Our website isbusinesslincolncounty.com.
We have a lot of like economicresearch and tools and things
like that.
But we also have a quarterlymailing list.
We are not spammers or tryingto get anything, but we share
information about what we'retrying to do and what we see in
(07:56):
Lincoln County's economy.
And then we also, in the springof each year, put on a Lincoln
County Economic Summit where webring government leaders,
business leaders, entrepreneurs,business owners, speakers from
all over the West Coast togetherto kind of talk about and
discover what's changed in oureconomy, what's coming down the
(08:19):
road.
So those are two great ways toget involved.
And it's a an accidental careerof mine.
I started out as anentrepreneur and started to see
how these organizations that canhelp and support businesses are
that scaffolding that can makea business do even better.
(08:39):
And it's an honor to do thiswork.
RR (08:42):
Hope to have you back and come back in October and talk
again about this special event.
Paul Schuytema (08:47):
Oh, absolutely.
We'd love to.
We'd love to.
RR (08:49):
I'm intrigued by that.
Probably if we can bring inWoody your associates that will
be speaking that night.
Paul Schuytema (08:58):
Oh, that would be wonderful.
Yeah, I'd love to share that.
RR (09:00):
Paul from the Economic Development Alliance of Lincoln
County.

The North County Coordinatorfor Oregon Coast Community
College, Leslie Melrose-High iswith us.
North County Coordinator meanswhat?
Lesley Melrose-High (10:13):
Well, as the North County Coordinator for
Oregon Coast Community College,my role is primarily talking
with everyone here, being avoice and a face that folks in
the community can associate withthe college.
When you visit us at ourLincoln County location I'm the
person you see right when youwalk in.
If you give us a call, I'm thevoice on the other end of the
phone.
Beyond that, I also coordinateour community education program.
(10:36):
And this is what I'm reallywanting to talk about here
today.
I am also our college's liaisonto the Leadership Lincoln
Committee.
RR (10:45):
Now, Leadership Lincoln Committee is a county-wide
activity, correct?
Lesley Melrose-High (10:49):
Exactly.
It goes all the way fromLincoln City to Yahats.
We serve people in Waldport,Newport, Toledo.
So let's, anywhere in thecounty, you are eligible to come
and participate in this.
RR (11:03):
Let's talk about the program itself, Leadership Lincoln.
What is that?
Lesley Melrose-High (11:08):
Well, it's a lot of things, but if I had to
give you one word, I would say,or two words, I'd say
professional development.
Leadership Lincoln is a way forcommunity members to better
understand a variety ofdifferent programs and groups
that operate across our county.
You would have an opportunityto speak with your elected
(11:30):
officials, with sanitationworkers, with business leaders,
with obviously college staff,some of the members of the
college.
The program really giveseveryone an opportunity to dive
into the nuts and bolts of howthings get done in Lincoln
County.
And leading into that, it givesyou a great opportunity to do
(11:53):
some networking.
I
RR (11:54):
have heard from a number of people that have gone through
the program because it's not anew program to the community
college.
It's been going on for sometime, right?
Lesley Melrose-High (12:03):
Exactly.
This is our 33rd year doingLeadership Lincoln.
RR (12:07):
Oh, wow.
Lesley Melrose-High (12:07):
And the college has been a partner in
the program since the college'sinception in 1987.
So we've been in this for thelong haul.
RR (12:16):
But there's a bonding that comes about from the people who
participate in the program fromone end of the county to the
other.
It's something that only comesabout because of this program.
Lesley Melrose-High (12:27):
I would say so because Leadership Lincoln
has been such a force in ourcounty for the last 33 years.
It has really enabled a bunchof different communities to have
a much better understanding ofeach other than you might see in
other counties.
And that cooperation and thatcoordination allows us to
operate much more seamlessly andreally helps just a variety of
(12:50):
different things flow better.
RR (12:51):
So if I want to get into the program, obviously I go through
the community college, but howmuch does it cost?
Lesley Melrose-High (12:57):
So that's the sticky, right?
The price tag.
So tuition is $595 per student.
But what that tuition pays foris nine months.
So you get one class everymonth where you meet up with
your cohort of 29 otherstudents.
You'll get to listen to avariety of panelists that the
committee has brought in, like Isaid, from all different walks
(13:19):
of life and different areas ofcommerce in the community.
You'll have a chance to askquestions as well as participate
in a variety of variety ofdifferent activities to better
understand your leadership styleand how you can become an
active participant in some ofthese different, you might run
into nonprofit groups that havesomething that interests you or
(13:41):
different businesses that mightbe able to cooperate with your
business organization.
So I would really say this is afantastic opportunity, both for
individuals in the communitywho want to get to understand
our community better, as well asbusinesses who are looking for
some professional developmentopportunities It's just
absolutely golden in thatrespect.
RR (14:00):
How about the retired community?
Does the retired community takeadvantage of this as well?
Lesley Melrose-High (14:05):
Oh, absolutely.
I would say for our retiredfolks, this is a wonderful way
to really know where you'reliving and what sort of issues
might be affecting you,especially if you have fully
retired and you might not haveyour finger on the pulse of the
local economy anymore.
This would be an opportunityfor you to figure out what's
happening in the area.
What's new?
(14:26):
What's exciting?
What are people reallymotivated by right now.
RR (14:29):
So for the $500 plus, you get what?
Lesley Melrose-High (14:34):
Well, you get a full day of class with us
from 8.45 in the morning till3.30 p.m.
in the afternoon.
You get food, so you have lunchduring that, and then you get
opportunities to participate ina variety of activities, speak
with panelists, network withyour fellow class attendees, and
best of all, as a part of beingin Leadership Lincoln, you also
(14:57):
get to do a self-directedproject.
And for some of our students,this has turned into a
years-long commitment where theproject they started in
Leadership Lincoln morphed intoa nonprofit that's still going
to this day.
Talena King, one of our othercommittee members, when she sat
for, when she attendedLeadership Lincoln as a
(15:19):
participant, her project morphedinto a nonprofit she's still
running today.
RR (15:24):
Really?
Lesley Melrose-High (15:25):
Yeah, it is a great opportunity to get to
know people, get to know thecommunity, and just find your
niche here in Lincoln County.
RR (15:34):
I'm fascinated by this.
I have heard so much about itfor so many years and have never
participated.
What should I know to get meover the edge to join the
program?
Lesley Melrose-High (15:48):
I'd say if this all sounds interesting to
you, but you're still kind ofback and forth on it, really
consider What do you have tolose?
I mean, you might be out alittle bit of money, but I
haven't heard one person walkaway from this saying this has
been a waste of time.
Every past alumni I've spokenwith has had nothing but
(16:12):
positive experiences, excellentconnections with other people
and businesses, and has learnedjust volumes about the inner
operations of our county.
RR (16:22):
And finally, how do I enroll?
Lesley Melrose-High (16:23):
Well, the best way to enroll is going to
be visiting the Newport Chamberof Commerce at their website
under Leadership Lincoln, andthey have the registration links
on that page.
RR (16:37):
We appreciate you being here, Wesley Melrose High.
Again, the North CountyCoordinator.
Are all of the programs held inNewport or is it countywide?
Lesley Melrose-High (16:47):
It is countywide.
They will be held in a varietyof locations across the county,
and we'll even have some fieldtrips as well outside of regular
class days, which we'll visitVisit some places like hikes or
on-the-ground tours of variouslocations.
RR (17:02):
And finally, it starts when?
Lesley Melrose-High (17:03):
It'll be starting this month, September.
So our deadline for enrollmentis September 10th.
And our first inaugural classof this year is going to be

o'clock in the evening.

Gentlemen, thanks for beinghere.
Thank you for having us.
(18:37):
The music that you have and youperform is your own, correct?
Pat Magada (18:41):
It is, original.
RR (18:43):
Yeah.
And what brings you to LincolnCity?
Pat Magada (18:46):
I got here through my stepdad.
He was in the military, so wekind of moved around everywhere,
and we ended up in Lincoln Cityin 2009.
RR (18:57):
I
Pat Magada (18:57):
believe.
And then my mom was a musicianback in Manila.
And she would take me on hergigs with her band.
And I was five years old.
And all of a sudden, she wouldjust take me to sing in front of
a crowd.
And I remember they would giveme 100 pesos, like $2.
Oh, wow.
(19:17):
Big bucks.
To me, that was like, oh, Iwant to perform live.
I became a professional.
Yeah.
For Will.
Will Goble (19:27):
uh yeah well my parents bought a house across
the street from the lake we callit the lake house though years
like 2011 i think maybe evenbefore then and we literally
came down every weekend so ifyou were gonna hang out with me
you know and my friends theywere coming to the beach house
and we came for like well over iwant to say like eight years
every weekend long time and thenand then eventually we stopped
(19:50):
because i did my own thing sureand then eventually you know
life being what it is my wifegot a degree in while life
services and started a job downhere which is where she found
work and we moved into thathouse and we've been here for
like three years now so
RR (20:07):
the music tell me about the music that you guys perform is
it what's the background what'sthe sense of it
Pat Magada (20:14):
so it's all songs that I've written and I have a
hard time writing songs thatnever happened to me so all
these songs are literal kind ofdie re-entries into my life
heartbreak happinessachievements and actually one of
the first songs that I wrotethat I released is called
(20:37):
Painter's Stripes and it was tocelebrate my graduation I
graduated at Taft High and soPainter's Stripes is all about
overcoming and becoming the bestversion of who you are and yeah
and then Will is here to helpme
RR (20:56):
out but it is a Music, background, rock, jazz, blues.
What kind of genre does it fallinto?
Pat Magada (21:03):
I would describe it as indie synth pop, which is
kind of hard to find in thecoast.
Explain that.
Elaborate, please.
So indie because I currentlydon't have a label.
Okay.
Synth because I acquire a lotof kind of 80s, kind of
piano-based electronic stuffbecause I really loved EDM.
(21:26):
around 2016 when that came outso I really loved producing and
just creating weird sounds andputting it into
RR (21:35):
music weird sounds and music
Will Goble (21:38):
yeah it works more than it should really yeah
hustle well you know I metPatrick what like two years ago
now and he was taking pianolessons from my buddy Sweeney
who people in town probably knowwho he is and we just hit it
off immediately and he was likeI want to do a show and so I
started listening to his stuffand I was just blown away a by
(22:00):
the production value of it forsomeone who's doing this by
themselves you know in theirapartment or whatever it just
all sounds so professional butthen also he makes things really
hard as someone who's playingthis music with him a lot of
weird time signature stuff thathappens that shouldn't be
happening in pop music but hejust he puts in what sounds good
to him and what sounds good tohim you might not think would
sound good at first so then yousit down and listen to it and
(22:22):
you're like wow okay yeah thatworks and I'm really mad about
it but I want to keep listeningto it so And it gets stuck in
your head.
It's all I can think about nowsince we've been practicing.
RR (22:31):
That's great.
The concert is going to be atthe Cultural Center.
That's a pretty good venue.
Will Goble (22:36):
Yeah.
I've actually been taking ontrying to learn how to run their
sound system for Gray so thathe can start to try to relax a
little bit.
And it's been really fun.
And so getting to perform thereis really exciting.
And I mean, I've played there afew times.
And actually, we've playedthere at least once.
Yeah.
Just once.
RR (22:56):
Yeah, we So this isn't your first time out?
No.
Will Goble (23:00):
Okay.
No.
But this is the first time thatwe're going to try doing
something big.
We did a few small acousticshows over the years, and then I
finally got Patrick.
I convinced him to do a fewshows this year, which is a big
deal, and I'm really proud aboutit.
But we did a show at the Pinesfor his music video release
party that's blowing up rightnow.
(23:21):
It's at almost 100K views,which is insane.
Oh, that's big numbers.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
to him for that because that'sreally awesome.
And that show went really well.
And I was like, we need to doone more, at least one more big
one.
And so we're like, okay, well,the Pines is, you know, an open
public forum.
People were like, well, what'shappening?
We're trying to eat our food,go away.
And so I was like, well, let'sdo the cultural center.
We can make it ticketed andhopefully we can do something
(23:43):
huge, have all these lights, allthis crazy stuff and do
something big.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
