Oh, well, thank you for asking me.
I'm very excited to see you.
SPEAKER_11 (01:46):
Now, this space that we're in downstairs, lower level
of the Cultural Center, is what?
SPEAKER_05 (01:51):
Oh, this is called the Maker's Place Workshop.
And it is a room down in thebasement that actually has our
elevator in it, so it was neverable to be rented out to someone
else.
And the door always has to beopen because of the elevator,
and so we scheme We teamed upthis idea to make it into a
kids' workshop.
And we've been working on it forthree years, trying to get it
(02:15):
organized, color-coded, useful,safe.
And it's a beautiful space.
We have the old historicalwindows, and everything is
colorful and organized.
And folks can come in and useit.
Families can come in and use it.
Kids can come and use it.
Right now, we're in the middleof our kids' art camp, our
summer
SPEAKER_11 (02:35):
art camp.
No, the kids' art camp is inUtah.
We're talking about a game forchamber luncheon and there was a
host of children around here.
SPEAKER_05 (02:41):
Yeah, 25.
We had 25 last week and another25 this week and it's a day
camp.
They come for the whole day andwe break it up into different
blocks and do different projectsand they love it.
SPEAKER_11 (02:54):
Something that no doubt is highly successful that
you're going to bring backagain.
SPEAKER_05 (02:58):
Oh, yes.
It filled up.
It was full.
We'll do it every summer.
And yeah, I love having the kidsaround the building.
And our new plaza is sofantastic for art camp because,
of course, it's the first timewe really used it.
They have snack on Gary theoctopus's head.
And then they have lunch over bythe musical instruments and run
(03:20):
around in the beautifullandscaping and lawn over there.
And it's been really nice.
SPEAKER_11 (03:24):
Now, you talked about before we went on the air,
this space is going to be usedby a host of people.
You've got a Hispanic communitycoming in tonight?
SPEAKER_05 (03:33):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You can rent this space eitherfor a party or for, for example,
this group.
They're teaching a businessclass in Spanish upstairs in one
of the rooms.
And the kids of the familieshave this space down here to
play and explore and do artwhile their parents are up in
the class.
So you can rent the room just...
(03:54):
regular with tables and chairs,or you can rent the room with
stations and different artprojects on each table.
SPEAKER_11 (04:02):
I just love your enthusiasm about this program.
SPEAKER_05 (04:05):
It's really fun.
Yeah, it's fun.
So right now for this Spanishspeaking group, I have finger
painting and beading set up andI have the little instructions
in Spanish thanks to GoogleTranslate.
But it's used for all things.
We've had a lot of birthdayparties.
We also have an open maker'splace.
on Thursday evenings from threeto six and that's open to the
(04:28):
public and it's five dollar dropin spend as much time as you
want I find that young artistslove choices and so I have the
table set up I have a claysection I have over in that
corner the make the inventionstation and the invention
station is by far the mostpopular part of this workshop
(04:50):
Always.
SPEAKER_11 (04:51):
What kind of things are we inventing?
SPEAKER_05 (04:53):
Okay, so it's basically an area that has
low-heat hot glue guns.
And I have a few rules about theglue guns.
I hope you do.
Yes, yes.
But for the most part, kids arereally, really responsible with
them.
And then it's just jars andboxes of anything we can think
of that would be good forbuilding or inventing or making
(05:15):
something.
And so the kids just go throughthe materials over there and
they use their imaginations.
And some of them make functionalthings.
Some of them make crazy, wild,alien-looking things.
And all of them have a blast.
SPEAKER_11 (05:28):
Now, in the years gone by, you've accepted rings
out of paper towels, toiletpaper, all those type of things.
Do you still want them?
SPEAKER_05 (05:36):
Oh, yes.
We get donations all the time.
You can bring boxes of donationsto the Cultural Center if you're
cleaning out your creativespace.
We'll take anything that is nottoxic or oil-based.
We can't take oil-based paint orturpentine or anything like
that.
But anything like keys, buttons,pipe cleaners, pom-poms, toilet
paper rolls, all that stuff, welove it.
(05:58):
Bring it to us if you have itand you want to get rid of it.
SPEAKER_11 (06:01):
And you create from that.
SPEAKER_05 (06:03):
That's right.
That's right.
And one of the other uses ofthis room, originally, this is
the room where we make all theart kits.
The art kits are upstairs,started during COVID.
It was a way to give a creativeoutlet for our local family And
it was one of those reallywonderful things that stayed
after COVID was gone.
And we now have a little roomupstairs where you can go pick
(06:26):
up your art kits to take home.
And they're free.
There is a donation box, butthey are free.
They are made in this room by 12amazing, sassy, wonderful
ladies.
Yes, they are.
Every Thursday morning.
Yes.
Yes.
SPEAKER_11 (06:41):
And how does somebody avail themselves of
these art kits?
SPEAKER_05 (06:45):
Oh, all you have to do is come in.
We're open Wednesday throughSunday.
10 to 5, but the doors arealways unlocked, and a lot of
people just sneak in and grabsome.
They are available anytime youwant them, really, and just take
them home.
If you have grandkids visiting,they're great to have a few of
those to do projects with them.
If your kids need something todo after school or, you know,
(07:08):
whatever, just keep somecreative.
SPEAKER_11 (07:10):
We've talked primarily of children's
activities.
How about in the PhyllisChessman Gallery?
What do we have going on there?
Ooh.
SPEAKER_05 (07:17):
we have a very interesting show right now it's
shadow boxes it's assemblage arthandmade shadow boxes and
they're filled with vintageitems and and they're slightly
dark in that they're a littlecreepy, which I like.
And they're paired with bigabstract paintings with tons of
texture.
So like cardboard or sand mixedin with the paint.
(07:41):
One of the paintings even has aknit hat and a tie from her
grandparents.
SPEAKER_11 (07:49):
Visual arts director Krista Eddy, I love your
enthusiasm.
SPEAKER_05 (07:53):
Well, thank you, Roger.
I love
SPEAKER_02 (07:54):

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

Bob's Beach Books, so you canjoin the conversation.
SPEAKER_07 (08:10):
Wouldn't it be great to have all your insurance needs
handled by one agency?
This is Charlotte Lado withFarmers Insurance and the
Insurance Store.
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_06 (08:26):
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_01 (08:40):
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.
And not the rights.
La Roca has become one of ourfavorites because it's authentic
Mexican food.
SPEAKER_11 (08:58):
Lincoln City Cultural Center is a place for
lots of activities and one thatwe have come upon that we did
not know about.
Rubiel is with us and you aredoing a program on economic
development right here at theCultural
SPEAKER_00 (09:13):
Center.
Yes, so we're a non-profit ruraldevelopment initiative.
We provide these kind ofworkshops or classes.
We do it for five weeks, twohours every night, and we
provide their food and childcarefor them to attend.
The intention of this is toessentially do economic
development for ruralcommunities in Oregon, in the
(09:34):
Pacific Northwest, but we'redoing it here in Lincoln City
right now.
And that's what we do.
So essentially, this is a basicramp on for people to know
whether they should have abusiness or not, or develop the
business that they have.
SPEAKER_11 (09:50):
Are you targeting the Hispanic community?
SPEAKER_00 (09:52):
Yeah, essentially we want to provide the resources
for them to be able to haveaccess to these type of
resources and knowledge andinformation because for the most
part, historically, we know thatthese are the communities that
are mostly underserved.
SPEAKER_11 (10:10):
And what are people taking away from this whole time
together, if you
SPEAKER_00 (10:17):
will?
Right.
Essentially, they will get anidea of how to draft a business
plan for their idea as anybusiness idea that they might
have.
Some of them are thinking ofhaving a tortilleria, maybe some
food business.
One of them has a hot tubservices that they want to
jumpstart with this program aswell.
And along with that, with thework of RDI that we have been
(10:40):
doing, Sometimes when thefunding is there, we can provide
them, if they apply and if theyqualify by having a strong
business plan, they can qualifyup to$5,000 for a grant to help
them specifically with theessential items that they need.
to start to increase theirbusiness or to get it going or
(11:02):
to start it or to increase theircapacity.
SPEAKER_11 (11:05):
I think a lot of us don't know and realize the
amount of Hispanic communitythat is in this immediate area
and how important they are tothe economy of the area.
SPEAKER_00 (11:17):
Correct, yeah.
You're talking about a lot oflabor force and a lot of things
that they do.
Some of them are in agriculture.
Some of them have experiencewith essentially the fishery
business as well.
So it's really just, I'm amazedwith the Conexión Phoenix, which
is here in Lincoln City, howmuch attention they have and how
(11:38):
much pull they have with theLatino community because they
have built a trust.
And so we're collaborating withthem to use that trust that they
have gained and be able toprovide them this type of
resources.
SPEAKER_11 (11:51):
So what does it cost for somebody to be involved in
this program?
SPEAKER_00 (11:54):
It actually doesn't cost the person anything.
We actually give them on astipend of if they attend to all
the classes, they get a stipendfor$50.
Because we know the time andeffort.
So essentially, that's why weprovide, we take down the
barriers.
We provide the food for dinnertonight.
We provide the childcare if theyhave a child that they cannot
(12:15):
have any babysitting for themand have to bring them.
So we can provide the space forthem to enjoy that and then
enjoy the class.
And then once they attend toeverything, they actually get$50
for attending the class.
And
SPEAKER_11 (12:29):
the response from the community is what?
SPEAKER_00 (12:31):
Well, it has been really overwhelming, and I'm
thankful for that.
I mean, we started with 23people, and it trickled down to
17 people that are consistentwith the program right now.
And we are on the fourth sessionout of five, so next week will
be our final.
SPEAKER_11 (12:46):
And then what happens?
What goes from there?
Do you start the program andprocess all over again?
SPEAKER_00 (12:52):
Yeah, so essentially when we find a community that
needs a program like this, webring it to them.
So we actually try all the wayto the rural communities and set
up camp to do the programitself.
With this particular group hereand almost every group that we
visit, we follow them for aboutsix months and be able to see
like what do they need for themto get the idea going or get the
(13:14):
business plan a little bitshaped or whatnot.
But we have technical assistancesupport that we can actually
talk to them, figure out whatthey need and how we can get
their dream or their idea as abusiness to actually maybe raise
You start with the Secretary ofState of Oregon with an LLC or
have the licenses that theyneed, process and applications.
(13:35):
I mean, there's that technicalassistant capacity after this.
SPEAKER_11 (13:39):
Does your program tie in with the community
colleges, the Small BusinessAdministration at all?
SPEAKER_00 (13:43):
Yeah, well, we actually connect with SBDC, so
the Small Business Development,which is in Newport in the
community college there.
Connecting with communitycolleges because they have their
own, essentially, capacity to doso.
And sometimes...
the capacity to do follow-upthings in Spanish is not there.
So it really depends on whatcommunity colleges and their
(14:05):
capacity for us to have areferral, be like, hey, go talk
to them.
But we do encourage them to, ifthey need to learn typing or how
to use a computer or things likethat, we encourage them to, I
mean, even learning English,right?
Like if there are classes thatthey need to learn English
because they discovered likeit's a huge barrier for them.
So using that kind of resourcesthat they have at hand.
SPEAKER_11 (14:27):
If somebody wants to get involved with the program,
what do they do?
SPEAKER_00 (14:31):
Well, essentially, I mean, this is for the community
itself that is in Spanish.
So anybody that speaks Spanish,the ones to learn from it.
And we essentially, when we goto the cities, we put out
flyers, we connect with thenonprofits that are already
doing the work.
Now, for us, you can help us outby spreading the word.
(14:52):
You can help us out by donatingfunds so we can make more of
these programs available.
There is really not that muchspace for volunteering besides
setting up the tables andcleaning up and whatnot because
the delivery has a curriculum onitself and it's a standalone
curriculum that really teachesthe people how to get the
business plan up and ready whichactually adds we do it in a
(15:14):
cultural way that it resonatesrather than just having
instantaneous translation fromEnglish to Spanish so we decided
to take it all to Spanish and beable to put in every cultural
aspect of it for them tounderstand the concepts, even
the concepts of point ofequilibrium.
Businesses need to reach thatpoint of equilibrium to break
(15:35):
even, and they know that theymake more money when they can
make more money after that pointof equilibrium.
So we're trying to break theseconcepts for them to understand,
and hopefully, you know, that'sthe idea.
SPEAKER_13 (15:45):
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 House andhomeless legislation, funded
police, criminalized hard drugsagain, stood up for local school
boards, and has sent over$100million in investments back to
(16:06):
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.
(16:27):
There's 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.

SPEAKER_11 (16:46):
At senior fair, we're going to have an
opportunity to talk to the goodDr.
Leslie Ogden from SamaritanNorth Lincoln Hospital and
Pacific Communities Hospital.
And you were telling me aboutswing beds.
What are swing beds?
SPEAKER_03 (17:01):
Oh, thank you for asking because we have a whole
new initiative that we'reworking on to provide swing
beds, which are beds that can beused by patients in the
post-acute care setting, meaningour hospital for that particular
bed, that particular patientbecomes a skilled nursing
(17:23):
facility.
So in essence, we take thepatient from acute care status
We keep them in the same bed,the same room and everything,
but then we shift our focus andwe become a post-acute care
setting for them where they cancontinue to recover.
It's a different rate, it's adifferent way of treatment, but
(17:48):
in that way, our hospitalbecomes more for the patients.
Because as you know, there's nota skilled nursing facility beds
enough for those people who needit.
And this allows us to use ourempty beds, if we happen to have
any, for that different purposeand take care of our community
in a better way.
SPEAKER_11 (18:08):
I would have to think in this county, in Lincoln
County, the number of seniorsspecifically, this would be
something in demand.
SPEAKER_03 (18:17):
Oh, yes, absolutely.
And for the longest time duringour COVID pandemic years, we
were spending all of our timetaking care of acute care
patients.
We didn't have any empty beds todo this.
But before COVID and now afterCOVID, After COVID, we have
found ourselves with a handfulof empty beds at any one time.
So can we then become more forour community, keep those
(18:41):
patients local in ourcommunities to fully recover and
get them back to home?
And so now we are extending thisprogram.
Previously, it was only at NorthLincoln.
Now we're extending it as wellto Pacific Communities Hospital.
And both are now swing bedfacilities authorized by the
state.
SPEAKER_11 (19:01):
That is a major step forward, correct?
SPEAKER_03 (19:04):
It is.
It is.
It's a major step forward tobecome what our communities need
us to be, right?
Because we need to think aboutthe whole patient, not just,
okay, we've done our acute careservices.
Let somebody else figure out therest.
Well, we don't have enough beds.
We don't have enough services.
(19:24):
This is a way we can betterserve our community and, again,
keep our patients local.
SPEAKER_11 (19:31):
What At what point do you determine that somebody
needs to go into a swing bet?
SPEAKER_03 (19:36):
Well, we have pretty strict criteria about what acute
care is and how that works.
And when someone reaches thatend of their acute care stay, we
know because the criteria hasbeen established by the
government and others, what weneed to determine at that point
is, are they a candidate tocontinue to improve their health
(20:00):
status and get back to home?
And if that is the case, if theyqualify, then we can talk to
them about where do you want togo for your continued care and
if we have a bed available inthe hospital we can talk to them
about would it be an option foryou to stay with us and would
you like to or do you want us totry to find someplace else for
(20:23):
you further out in the county orin many cases outside the
county.
SPEAKER_11 (20:29):
We are recording this special program at Senior
Fair.
Some extraneous noise in thebackground.
That's beside the point.
But I wanted to ask you, are youreceiving any feedback from the
senior community as to this newprogram?
SPEAKER_03 (20:44):
Yes.
In fact, we've had six swing bedpatients at North Lincoln.
I think we're on our seventh.
And we've had two at PCH down inNewport.
And this is just this year.
And so overall, the feedback isamazing.
People want to stay here.
They want to be in theircommunity.
They want to do their recoveryat their home hospital.
(21:07):
And they are delighted that wehave reinvigorated this program
at North Lincoln that we'veadded it at PCH and that we're
able to better take care ofpatients holistically, right?
From their acute care phase allthe way to their post-acute
recovery and take them all theway back home.
SPEAKER_11 (21:25):
It's a marvelous program.
SPEAKER_03 (21:27):
It really is.
And the government allows us todo this because we are critical
access hospitals.
We perform those criticallyneeded services in our small
communities and they want us tohave the flexibility to take
care of patients as needed.
SPEAKER_11 (21:45):
This is something you just don't go off and decide
as Pacific Humanities Hospitalor Samaritan North Lincoln
Hospital.
You have to have approval fromgovernmental agencies to do
this?
SPEAKER_03 (21:57):
Oh, yes.
Oh, very much so.
So our state, the Oregon HealthAuthority, has to license us to
do this.
And the federal government hasthe program through our critical
access hospital stat us in orderto do that as well so yes very
much this is very regulated andit's very different than acute
(22:18):
care for instance like you haveto have the right therapist
involved because this isrecovery back to getting home so
this is beyond just antibioticsfor your pneumonia or whatever
other you know type of therapiesthat we're doing in acute care
this is now recovery back toyour baseline back to health at
(22:40):
home so as a very differentpurpose, a very different
strategy, and a very differentplan.
SPEAKER_11 (22:46):
Congratulations.
And again, thank you.
SPEAKER_03 (22:49):
Well, thank you.
We're very excited to spread theword and really have people
understand that we're trying tobecome more for them than ever
before.
SPEAKER_11 (23:00):
Think about more for them.
Samaritan North LincolnHospital, Pacific Communities
Hospital, the good Dr.
Leslie Ogden.
Thank you.
And again, I look forward tohearing more about the swing bed
program at the two hospitals.

SPEAKER_05 (01:42):
Oh, well, thank you for asking me.
I'm very excited to see you.
SPEAKER_11 (01:46):
Now, this space that we're in downstairs, lower level
of the Cultural Center, is what?
SPEAKER_05 (01:51):
Oh, this is called the Maker's Place Workshop.
And it is a room down in thebasement that actually has our
elevator in it, so it was neverable to be rented out to someone
else.
And the door always has to beopen because of the elevator,
and so we scheme We teamed upthis idea to make it into a
kids' workshop.
And we've been working on it forthree years, trying to get it
(02:15):
organized, color-coded, useful,safe.
And it's a beautiful space.
We have the old historicalwindows, and everything is
colorful and organized.
And folks can come in and useit.
Families can come in and use it.
Kids can come and use it.
Right now, we're in the middleof our kids' art camp, our
summer
SPEAKER_11 (02:35):
art camp.
No, the kids' art camp is inUtah.
We're talking about a game forchamber luncheon and there was a
host of children around here.
SPEAKER_05 (02:41):
Yeah, 25.
We had 25 last week and another25 this week and it's a day
camp.
They come for the whole day andwe break it up into different
blocks and do different projectsand they love it.
SPEAKER_11 (02:54):
Something that no doubt is highly successful that
you're going to bring backagain.
SPEAKER_05 (02:58):
Oh, yes.
It filled up.
It was full.
We'll do it every summer.
And yeah, I love having the kidsaround the building.
And our new plaza is sofantastic for art camp because,
of course, it's the first timewe really used it.
They have snack on Gary theoctopus's head.
And then they have lunch over bythe musical instruments and run
(03:20):
around in the beautifullandscaping and lawn over there.
And it's been really nice.
SPEAKER_11 (03:24):
Now, you talked about before we went on the air,
this space is going to be usedby a host of people.
You've got a Hispanic communitycoming in tonight?
SPEAKER_05 (03:33):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You can rent this space eitherfor a party or for, for example,
this group.
They're teaching a businessclass in Spanish upstairs in one
of the rooms.
And the kids of the familieshave this space down here to
play and explore and do artwhile their parents are up in
the class.
So you can rent the room just...
(03:54):
regular with tables and chairs,or you can rent the room with
stations and different artprojects on each table.
SPEAKER_11 (04:02):
I just love your enthusiasm about this program.
SPEAKER_05 (04:05):
It's really fun.
Yeah, it's fun.
So right now for this Spanishspeaking group, I have finger
painting and beading set up andI have the little instructions
in Spanish thanks to GoogleTranslate.
But it's used for all things.
We've had a lot of birthdayparties.
We also have an open maker'splace.
on Thursday evenings from threeto six and that's open to the
(04:28):
public and it's five dollar dropin spend as much time as you
want I find that young artistslove choices and so I have the
table set up I have a claysection I have over in that
corner the make the inventionstation and the invention
station is by far the mostpopular part of this workshop
(04:50):
Always.
SPEAKER_11 (04:51):
What kind of things are we inventing?
SPEAKER_05 (04:53):
Okay, so it's basically an area that has
low-heat hot glue guns.
And I have a few rules about theglue guns.
I hope you do.
Yes, yes.
But for the most part, kids arereally, really responsible with
them.
And then it's just jars andboxes of anything we can think
of that would be good forbuilding or inventing or making
(05:15):
something.
And so the kids just go throughthe materials over there and
they use their imaginations.
And some of them make functionalthings.
Some of them make crazy, wild,alien-looking things.
And all of them have a blast.
SPEAKER_11 (05:28):
Now, in the years gone by, you've accepted rings
out of paper towels, toiletpaper, all those type of things.
Do you still want them?
SPEAKER_05 (05:36):
Oh, yes.
We get donations all the time.
You can bring boxes of donationsto the Cultural Center if you're
cleaning out your creativespace.
We'll take anything that is nottoxic or oil-based.
We can't take oil-based paint orturpentine or anything like
that.
But anything like keys, buttons,pipe cleaners, pom-poms, toilet
paper rolls, all that stuff, welove it.
(05:58):
Bring it to us if you have itand you want to get rid of it.
SPEAKER_11 (06:01):
And you create from that.
SPEAKER_05 (06:03):
That's right.
That's right.
And one of the other uses ofthis room, originally, this is
the room where we make all theart kits.
The art kits are upstairs,started during COVID.
It was a way to give a creativeoutlet for our local family And
it was one of those reallywonderful things that stayed
after COVID was gone.
And we now have a little roomupstairs where you can go pick
(06:26):
up your art kits to take home.
And they're free.
There is a donation box, butthey are free.
They are made in this room by 12amazing, sassy, wonderful
ladies.
Yes, they are.
Every Thursday morning.
Yes.
Yes.
SPEAKER_11 (06:41):
And how does somebody avail themselves of
these art kits?
SPEAKER_05 (06:45):
Oh, all you have to do is come in.
We're open Wednesday throughSunday.
10 to 5, but the doors arealways unlocked, and a lot of
people just sneak in and grabsome.
They are available anytime youwant them, really, and just take
them home.
If you have grandkids visiting,they're great to have a few of
those to do projects with them.
If your kids need something todo after school or, you know,
(07:08):
whatever, just keep somecreative.
SPEAKER_11 (07:10):
We've talked primarily of children's
activities.
How about in the PhyllisChessman Gallery?
What do we have going on there?
Ooh.
SPEAKER_05 (07:17):
we have a very interesting show right now it's
shadow boxes it's assemblage arthandmade shadow boxes and
they're filled with vintageitems and and they're slightly
dark in that they're a littlecreepy, which I like.
And they're paired with bigabstract paintings with tons of
texture.
So like cardboard or sand mixedin with the paint.
(07:41):
One of the paintings even has aknit hat and a tie from her
grandparents.
SPEAKER_11 (07:49):
Visual arts director Krista Eddy, I love your
enthusiasm.
SPEAKER_05 (07:53):
Well, thank you, Roger.
I love
SPEAKER_02 (07:54):
your enthusiasm, too.
Bob's Beach Books in the OceanLake area of Lincoln City does
in fact have what you'll want toread.
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_07 (08:10):
Wouldn't it be great to have all your insurance needs
handled by one agency?
This is Charlotte Lado withFarmers Insurance and the
Insurance Store.
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_06 (08:26):
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_01 (08:40):
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.
And not the rights.
La Roca has become one of ourfavorites because it's authentic
Mexican food.
SPEAKER_11 (08:58):
Lincoln City Cultural Center is a place for
lots of activities and one thatwe have come upon that we did
not know about.
Rubiel is with us and you aredoing a program on economic
development right here at theCultural
SPEAKER_00 (09:13):
Center.
Yes, so we're a non-profit ruraldevelopment initiative.
We provide these kind ofworkshops or classes.
We do it for five weeks, twohours every night, and we
provide their food and childcarefor them to attend.
The intention of this is toessentially do economic
development for ruralcommunities in Oregon, in the
(09:34):
Pacific Northwest, but we'redoing it here in Lincoln City
right now.
And that's what we do.
So essentially, this is a basicramp on for people to know
whether they should have abusiness or not, or develop the
business that they have.
SPEAKER_11 (09:50):
Are you targeting the Hispanic community?
SPEAKER_00 (09:52):
Yeah, essentially we want to provide the resources
for them to be able to haveaccess to these type of
resources and knowledge andinformation because for the most
part, historically, we know thatthese are the communities that
are mostly underserved.
SPEAKER_11 (10:10):
And what are people taking away from this whole time
together, if you
SPEAKER_00 (10:17):
will?
Right.
Essentially, they will get anidea of how to draft a business
plan for their idea as anybusiness idea that they might
have.
Some of them are thinking ofhaving a tortilleria, maybe some
food business.
One of them has a hot tubservices that they want to
jumpstart with this program aswell.
And along with that, with thework of RDI that we have been
(10:40):
doing, Sometimes when thefunding is there, we can provide
them, if they apply and if theyqualify by having a strong
business plan, they can qualifyup to$5,000 for a grant to help
them specifically with theessential items that they need.
to start to increase theirbusiness or to get it going or
(11:02):
to start it or to increase theircapacity.
SPEAKER_11 (11:05):
I think a lot of us don't know and realize the
amount of Hispanic communitythat is in this immediate area
and how important they are tothe economy of the area.
SPEAKER_00 (11:17):
Correct, yeah.
You're talking about a lot oflabor force and a lot of things
that they do.
Some of them are in agriculture.
Some of them have experiencewith essentially the fishery
business as well.
So it's really just, I'm amazedwith the Conexión Phoenix, which
is here in Lincoln City, howmuch attention they have and how
(11:38):
much pull they have with theLatino community because they
have built a trust.
And so we're collaborating withthem to use that trust that they
have gained and be able toprovide them this type of
resources.
SPEAKER_11 (11:51):
So what does it cost for somebody to be involved in
this program?
SPEAKER_00 (11:54):
It actually doesn't cost the person anything.
We actually give them on astipend of if they attend to all
the classes, they get a stipendfor$50.
Because we know the time andeffort.
So essentially, that's why weprovide, we take down the
barriers.
We provide the food for dinnertonight.
We provide the childcare if theyhave a child that they cannot
(12:15):
have any babysitting for themand have to bring them.
So we can provide the space forthem to enjoy that and then
enjoy the class.
And then once they attend toeverything, they actually get$50
for attending the class.
And
SPEAKER_11 (12:29):
the response from the community is what?
SPEAKER_00 (12:31):
Well, it has been really overwhelming, and I'm
thankful for that.
I mean, we started with 23people, and it trickled down to
17 people that are consistentwith the program right now.
And we are on the fourth sessionout of five, so next week will
be our final.
SPEAKER_11 (12:46):
And then what happens?
What goes from there?
Do you start the program andprocess all over again?
SPEAKER_00 (12:52):
Yeah, so essentially when we find a community that
needs a program like this, webring it to them.
So we actually try all the wayto the rural communities and set
up camp to do the programitself.
With this particular group hereand almost every group that we
visit, we follow them for aboutsix months and be able to see
like what do they need for themto get the idea going or get the
(13:14):
business plan a little bitshaped or whatnot.
But we have technical assistancesupport that we can actually
talk to them, figure out whatthey need and how we can get
their dream or their idea as abusiness to actually maybe raise
You start with the Secretary ofState of Oregon with an LLC or
have the licenses that theyneed, process and applications.
(13:35):
I mean, there's that technicalassistant capacity after this.
SPEAKER_11 (13:39):
Does your program tie in with the community
colleges, the Small BusinessAdministration at all?
SPEAKER_00 (13:43):
Yeah, well, we actually connect with SBDC, so
the Small Business Development,which is in Newport in the
community college there.
Connecting with communitycolleges because they have their
own, essentially, capacity to doso.
And sometimes...
the capacity to do follow-upthings in Spanish is not there.
So it really depends on whatcommunity colleges and their
(14:05):
capacity for us to have areferral, be like, hey, go talk
to them.
But we do encourage them to, ifthey need to learn typing or how
to use a computer or things likethat, we encourage them to, I
mean, even learning English,right?
Like if there are classes thatthey need to learn English
because they discovered likeit's a huge barrier for them.
So using that kind of resourcesthat they have at hand.
SPEAKER_11 (14:27):
If somebody wants to get involved with the program,
what do they do?
SPEAKER_00 (14:31):
Well, essentially, I mean, this is for the community
itself that is in Spanish.
So anybody that speaks Spanish,the ones to learn from it.
And we essentially, when we goto the cities, we put out
flyers, we connect with thenonprofits that are already
doing the work.
Now, for us, you can help us outby spreading the word.
(14:52):
You can help us out by donatingfunds so we can make more of
these programs available.
There is really not that muchspace for volunteering besides
setting up the tables andcleaning up and whatnot because
the delivery has a curriculum onitself and it's a standalone
curriculum that really teachesthe people how to get the
business plan up and ready whichactually adds we do it in a
(15:14):
cultural way that it resonatesrather than just having
instantaneous translation fromEnglish to Spanish so we decided
to take it all to Spanish and beable to put in every cultural
aspect of it for them tounderstand the concepts, even
the concepts of point ofequilibrium.
Businesses need to reach thatpoint of equilibrium to break
(15:35):
even, and they know that theymake more money when they can
make more money after that pointof equilibrium.
So we're trying to break theseconcepts for them to understand,
and hopefully, you know, that'sthe idea.
SPEAKER_13 (15:45):
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 House andhomeless legislation, funded
police, criminalized hard drugsagain, stood up for local school
boards, and has sent over$100million in investments back to
(16:06):
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.
(16:27):
There's 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.
Pack number 20255.
SPEAKER_11 (16:46):
At senior fair, we're going to have an
opportunity to talk to the goodDr.
Leslie Ogden from SamaritanNorth Lincoln Hospital and
Pacific Communities Hospital.
And you were telling me aboutswing beds.
What are swing beds?
SPEAKER_03 (17:01):
Oh, thank you for asking because we have a whole
new initiative that we'reworking on to provide swing
beds, which are beds that can beused by patients in the
post-acute care setting, meaningour hospital for that particular
bed, that particular patientbecomes a skilled nursing
(17:23):
facility.
So in essence, we take thepatient from acute care status
We keep them in the same bed,the same room and everything,
but then we shift our focus andwe become a post-acute care
setting for them where they cancontinue to recover.
It's a different rate, it's adifferent way of treatment, but
(17:48):
in that way, our hospitalbecomes more for the patients.
Because as you know, there's nota skilled nursing facility beds
enough for those people who needit.
And this allows us to use ourempty beds, if we happen to have
any, for that different purposeand take care of our community
in a better way.
SPEAKER_11 (18:08):
I would have to think in this county, in Lincoln
County, the number of seniorsspecifically, this would be
something in demand.
SPEAKER_03 (18:17):
Oh, yes, absolutely.
And for the longest time duringour COVID pandemic years, we
were spending all of our timetaking care of acute care
patients.
We didn't have any empty beds todo this.
But before COVID and now afterCOVID, After COVID, we have
found ourselves with a handfulof empty beds at any one time.
So can we then become more forour community, keep those
(18:41):
patients local in ourcommunities to fully recover and
get them back to home?
And so now we are extending thisprogram.
Previously, it was only at NorthLincoln.
Now we're extending it as wellto Pacific Communities Hospital.
And both are now swing bedfacilities authorized by the
state.
SPEAKER_11 (19:01):
That is a major step forward, correct?
SPEAKER_03 (19:04):
It is.
It is.
It's a major step forward tobecome what our communities need
us to be, right?
Because we need to think aboutthe whole patient, not just,
okay, we've done our acute careservices.
Let somebody else figure out therest.
Well, we don't have enough beds.
We don't have enough services.
(19:24):
This is a way we can betterserve our community and, again,
keep our patients local.
SPEAKER_11 (19:31):
What At what point do you determine that somebody
needs to go into a swing bet?
SPEAKER_03 (19:36):
Well, we have pretty strict criteria about what acute
care is and how that works.
And when someone reaches thatend of their acute care stay, we
know because the criteria hasbeen established by the
government and others, what weneed to determine at that point
is, are they a candidate tocontinue to improve their health
(20:00):
status and get back to home?
And if that is the case, if theyqualify, then we can talk to
them about where do you want togo for your continued care and
if we have a bed available inthe hospital we can talk to them
about would it be an option foryou to stay with us and would
you like to or do you want us totry to find someplace else for
(20:23):
you further out in the county orin many cases outside the
county.
SPEAKER_11 (20:29):
We are recording this special program at Senior
Fair.
Some extraneous noise in thebackground.
That's beside the point.
But I wanted to ask you, are youreceiving any feedback from the
senior community as to this newprogram?
SPEAKER_03 (20:44):
Yes.
In fact, we've had six swing bedpatients at North Lincoln.
I think we're on our seventh.
And we've had two at PCH down inNewport.
And this is just this year.
And so overall, the feedback isamazing.
People want to stay here.
They want to be in theircommunity.
They want to do their recoveryat their home hospital.
(21:07):
And they are delighted that wehave reinvigorated this program
at North Lincoln that we'veadded it at PCH and that we're
able to better take care ofpatients holistically, right?
From their acute care phase allthe way to their post-acute
recovery and take them all theway back home.
SPEAKER_11 (21:25):
It's a marvelous program.
SPEAKER_03 (21:27):
It really is.
And the government allows us todo this because we are critical
access hospitals.
We perform those criticallyneeded services in our small
communities and they want us tohave the flexibility to take
care of patients as needed.
SPEAKER_11 (21:45):
This is something you just don't go off and decide
as Pacific Humanities Hospitalor Samaritan North Lincoln
Hospital.
You have to have approval fromgovernmental agencies to do
this?
SPEAKER_03 (21:57):
Oh, yes.
Oh, very much so.
So our state, the Oregon HealthAuthority, has to license us to
do this.
And the federal government hasthe program through our critical
access hospital stat us in orderto do that as well so yes very
much this is very regulated andit's very different than acute
(22:18):
care for instance like you haveto have the right therapist
involved because this isrecovery back to getting home so
