With us, Sharon Jasmeer fromLincoln City Outlets and Pat
Robertson from Beefy, Businessfor Excellence and Youth.
Welcome aboard.
Well,
Pat Robertson (02:17):
we're happy to be here.
RR (02:19):
Sharon, let's start with you.
Lincoln City Outlets is goingto be hosting again Stuff-A-Bus.
What is Stuff-A-Bus?
Sharon Jasmer (02:27):
You know, Stuffabuzz is a program that was
in effect with my predecessor,Diane Cush.
And she and you came up withthis wonderful idea.
Your wife was involved.
I don't know all the storybecause I've only been doing it
for eight years, but this issomething that has been going on
for almost 30 now, I think.
(02:48):
31.
Pat Robertson (02:48):
Yeah.
Sharon Jasmer (02:49):
Is it 31?
I never know.
I never know anymore.
But we are happy to provide aplace for the bus.
We're happy to provide a leg upfor our students and for
parents as costs continue torise.
Of course, outlet shopping andfinding the school supplies and
the clothes and all of thethings that are necessary.
(03:10):
And we are always thrilled tobe a part of Stuff-A-Bus.
RR (03:15):
Stuff-A-Bus is going to be coming up in September, and
we'll talk about that in just amoment, but first, Pat, Business
for Excellence Youth, you werepart of the original board,
correct?
Pat Robertson (03:26):
Yes.
Back in 98, it started withFrank Harris and a lot of people
from the city.
I'm not sure who was involved.
I just went as a an advocatefor the kids and they were
business for excellence in youthmeant helping kids in a lot of
different ways.
One was providing scholarshipsfor clothes or anything else
(03:50):
that they needed or for programsthat they had to have some
expense for or shoes.
You name it, we gave whateverthe kids needed and also band
instruments as well.
We helped them with theirrenting of them for the use.
RR (04:05):
And again, the bottom line is to get They did what the kids
needed to make them successful.
Pat Robertson (04:10):
Exactly.
And then in 2007, Karen Doomerand I started a backpack food
program, and we added that tothem as well because they were a
501c3, and we wanted to makesure whoever donated to our
cause would have access to that.
And that just zoomed as faras...
(04:33):
unbelievable help for theBackpack Food Program.
RR (04:38):
We'll talk more about the Backpack Food Program in just a
moment.
But first, Sharon, let's goback to you.
Why would a outlet centerbecome involved in an activity
where it's not the traditionalplace to go buy school supplies?
Why the big jump into thathuge, important program?
Sharon Jasmer (04:59):
Well, you know, Lincoln City Outlets was the
very first outlet center in allof oregon and when you look we
have some old aerial photographsin our office of what our
outlet center looked like underconstruction and then we did the
addition and then we did wheremy office is which by the way
let me just say i'm gonna go ona side tangent which i'm known
(05:22):
for i'm really glad we're herein your studio today because we
just kicked off our part of thepromotion for stuff of us for
2025 and we launched it onAugust 15th.
This recording is obviouslyhappening a couple of days
later.
What are we on the 18th, 19th?
And after five days of runningour promotion, which is just a
(05:45):
very simple one this year.
of buy your backpack atparticipating stores, and there
are four of them in the outlets,and then pick out a backpack
and it's on us.
So the outlets are actuallybuying the backpacks this year.
RR (05:59):
That could be dangerous.
Sharon Jasmer (06:00):
It is dangerous.
We have no room in ourconference room right now
already.
We have had donations of 65backpacks in just five days.
And so that's huge.
And when we think about thenumber of kids that are in our
area, and the kids in ourcommunity and how much Lincoln
(06:21):
City Outlets has been a part ofthe community since its
inception back in 19...
RR (06:27):
Way back.
Sharon Jasmer (06:27):
Way back when.
I want to say 92, 93.
Since then, we have been a keyplayer in the development of
Lincoln City.
We have just grown with thecity as the city has grown as
well.
There's a lot of jobs and a lotof economy that comes out of
(06:48):
our our facility and it makessense to support the community
that has supported us and we arehappy to do so
RR (06:57):
back to pat and uh you just recently completed a peanut
butter drive
Pat Robertson (07:03):
we did and it's a competition for the peanut
butter drive between thefinancial institutions the banks
and the credit unions here andthey are so competitive it's
just It's unbelievable.
We've gotten over, what didthey tell me?
Well, TLC is in the running forthe top, and they ended just
(07:25):
this week, and so we haven't gotall the numbers.
But TLC has given us 1,313 jarsof peanut butter.
1,300 jars of peanut butter.
RR (07:35):
Phenomenal.
And
Pat Robertson (07:40):
Callie and Jed are very competitive.
I think last year she just beathim barely, but this year he's
gotten at 850, and he said moreare coming.
Sharon Jasmer (07:54):
He told me that last night.
I ran into him at the Slits BayMusic Festival banquet asking
about this because obviously,you know, stuff of us, and I
love the peanut butter drive,and I asked how Oregon Coast
Bank was doing, and he said, Idon't know if we're going to
catch Callie and the team at TLCthis year, but it is fierce.
competitive.
(08:16):
I mean, he's still talkingabout it and I know that the
donation drive ended on Friday.
On Friday, yeah.
Pat Robertson (08:23):
He's still going on.
So far, we've got 2,500 Over2,500 jars of just peanut
butter.
And every child will get peanutbutter every week, believe
RR (08:34):
me.
Taking care of the children inNorth Lincoln County, that's our
theme, that's our goal.
And we'll be back in just amoment.

RR (09:26):
Continuing with our discussions about helping kids
of North Lincoln County, andthis is a phenomenal undertaking
by a lot of people, a lot ofvolunteers are involved in this,
two that are with us, PatRobertson from Business for
Excellence in Youth on the Boardof Directors and Sharon Jasmeer
from Lincoln City Athletes.
Again, Sharon, Stuff-A-Bus isSeptember, and it will be...
(09:50):
Phenomenal.
Sharon Jasmer (09:52):
It will be phenomenal.
We have, every year we've donethis, Roger, I'm just amazed at
how it continues to grow.
And how the donations are neverquite the same.
But they're hugely successfulsometimes they come in with
(10:12):
clothing sometimes it's tons ofbackpacks tons of supplies where
we're dropping off supplies atthe main office at the school
because we've had so manysupplies and we've run out of
kids for backpacks so then wejust hold on to that because you
know you can only use so muchpaper before you need more paper
(10:32):
so we we make sure that thatgets into the school offices and
copy And it's amazing to me,especially as one who didn't
grow up here in Lincoln City orLincoln County, that how truly
this whole community getstogether and just figures out
what our kids need.
And we just somehowmiraculously make it happen
(10:56):
through this.
constant effort andperseverance and figuring out
truly how to get to that yeskind of thing.
Like, yes, we can help you.
I
RR (11:07):
love the fact that we always have Moe's shows up with over
$1,000 worth of school supplies
Sharon Jasmer (11:14):
that
RR (11:14):
they gather throughout the course of the year as well.
Sharon Jasmer (11:17):
Yeah.
RR (11:18):
Shouldn't it go in with another $1,000 in cash?
Sharon Jasmer (11:21):
Yeah.
To here, use it for what'sreally necessary.
And I just, I really adorethat.
Lincoln City Gifts, they're atour Outland Center.
They have been collectingdonations I want to say since
May.
RR (11:36):
And then they will put together the entire bag of
school supplies.
Sharon Jasmer (11:41):
Yes, they will.
They will take the lists thatPat first helped me get together
and now she's just like, canyou just print those?
Can you just alter those?
Anyway, if Pat Robertson asksyou to do something, it just
kind of gets done.
You're like, yes, may And so wegive them the lists as well for
(12:02):
the classrooms.
And they buy the suppliesthrough the donations that
they've received and throughtheir own graciousness.
And they stuff the backpacks.
And those are all done so thatPat's volunteers don't have to
try to figure that out.
And we're ready for the kids tostart picking them up right
away.
It's great.
Pat Robertson (12:22):
But we still could use volunteers to help us
with the mourning of the stuff abus because we come in with
some needing to stuff the bus orthe bags and we sort them by
grade so
RR (12:34):
then when the parents can pick up the bags at
Pat Robertson (12:38):
like 10 o'clock in the morning and all through
the day but we just need help toget it going i guess and
RR (12:45):
we'll be there anybody can volunteer to help out and they
contact you
Pat Robertson (12:49):
yes or sharon
RR (12:50):
yeah yeah and we'll give you a time to come
Pat Robertson (12:54):
yes
RR (12:54):
and you can't give us too much time no
Pat Robertson (12:57):
No,
Sharon Jasmer (12:58):
definitely not.
Pat Robertson (12:59):
We have a few that have their own duties, and
they'll do them because that'swhat they do every year.
But don't bother them, I mean,but come and help us.
Sharon Jasmer (13:08):
There's
Pat Robertson (13:08):
always something to be done.
It's just so fun because wehave such loyal volunteers.
RR (13:14):
Now, who can get one of the bags or the food?
Pat Robertson (13:18):
Everybody can get a bag of school supplies.
There's no requirements like...
No means testing whatsoever.
Not whatsoever.
Everybody...
should have school supplies.
As far as the backpack foodprogram, we usually try to get
those who really, really needthe food.
Right now we're feeding over300 kids a month, and that's on
(13:41):
a steady, steady time.
I mean, it's not fluctuating atall, and we do it all year
long.
In the summer, we also do it.
Since COVID, we've been nowdoing the backpack distributions
at our pantry, which is underCity Hall.
And the reason for that is...
It was difficult getting backinto the school because of
(14:04):
COVID.
And we've got into Ocean Lakeand the preschools.
But for Taft Elementary and thehigh school, any other children
that need food, we have themcome to our backpack pantry.
And it's once a month.
And we give them enough foodthat would be like we gave them
(14:26):
like every week, like we did inthe backpack food program.
But this way, we can give themperishable food too, because the
parents are picking up theboxes.
So it's a little differentvenue than we did.
RR (14:40):
That's for the summertime.
Pat Robertson (14:41):
No, it's all
RR (14:42):
year.
It's going to be year round.
Yeah, it
Pat Robertson (14:44):
is all year round.
Although we do, if they want itto go pick it up every week at
the school, we have some schoolsthat will let that happen.
RR (14:52):
All right.
So stuff of us, again, weshould probably tell people that
it is September 5th.
Sharon Jasmer (14:58):
It is.
We've been spreading the word.
We have been answering quite afew phone calls at the outlets.
People are calling in asking,when's the stuff a bus and when
can we be there?
So it's important to know thatdue to circumstances this year,
we will be doing it after LaborDay.
(15:22):
they still need for theirclassrooms, just know that they
can start picking them up onFriday, September 5th, beginning
at 10 o'clock in the morning.
And it's going to go until sixo'clock at night.
Drop-offs can begin as early aseight o'clock in the morning
(15:44):
and you'll find the bus and itwill be behind the venue where
we normally have it.
It'll be right next door toRack Room Shoes and where we had
it last year.
Jana (15:55):
And
Sharon Jasmer (15:56):
it will be in suite one 112 this year not 111
but sweet 112 but you can't missthat bus and then again it'll
stay open until 6 o'clock atnight so that parents who do
work during the day can stillstop by swing into the outlets
grab their backpack maybe do alittle extra shopping as well
(16:17):
and head on out for school
RR (16:19):
help us stuff a bus
Sharon Jasmer (16:21):
absolutely
RR (16:22):
feed kids
Sharon Jasmer (16:23):
that's right
RR (16:24):
it's all what it's all about and I'm proud to be part of it
with us Sharon Jasmer fromLincoln City Adelets and Pat
Robertson from Business forExcellence and Youth.

RR (17:11):
On the Double R Show, we have the opportunity now to talk
to Dr.
Kathleen Cathy Chambliss.
And Cathy, Dr.
Cathy is director of...
Education for the BiosphericCollaborative.
That's rather a big mouthful.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (17:25):
It certainly is.
RR (17:27):
And that really means what?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (17:29):
So it's something I'm learning.
It is a work in progress.
I just started at thecollaborative in February and we
are growing programs forenvironmental education programs
for kids from first gradethrough eighth grade and
(17:49):
hopefully beyond.
RR (17:50):
So your background for this type of work is what?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (17:53):
I have a background in science and
education and sustainability andI work I've worked in the
classroom and I've also workedin the field with K through 80.
That's
RR (18:08):
quite a distance.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (18:11):
Yeah.
RR (18:12):
What brings you to the Oregon coast?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (18:14):
Oh, gosh.
Well, I was a student at OregonState University a few decades
ago, and I always loved theOregon coast and visited many
times.
I came here from Maryland, andCOVID caused a lot of
disruption, and I decided tocontinue the disruption and head
out here to a place I alwayswanted to live.
(18:35):
So here I am.
RR (18:36):
Kind of nice to find a place that you always wanted to live
and then a position at the sametime.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (18:41):
Yeah.
Exactly.
And those didn't come in thesame order.
RR (18:46):
But they're together now.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (18:47):
They are together now.
RR (18:49):
So tell me about the program, work program that you
anticipated, that you've had andwill have.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (18:56):
So the Biosphere Collaborative, one of
the reasons why I was attractedto them and reached out to them
was because I really appreciatetheir holistic approach to
education.
It's whole child, whole adult.
So we're not teaching studentsjust subjects, but we're
(19:17):
teaching them about how to be inthe world and how they're part
of ecosystems.
And you asked me another partto that question.
Yeah, so the program, so theBiosphere Collaborative has
three programs that they'veestablished, first and second
grade, third and fourth grade,fifth and sixth grade, and they
(19:38):
want to continue.
And basically they'redeveloping programs that are
outdoor school for all kids inthis amazing place.
Like this place is reallyextraordinary and kids and
adults are part of it.
And I guess you could say theBiosphere Collaborative is
(19:59):
helping kids figure out theirplace in this place.
RR (20:04):
So will the program also be...
channel to the adults as well,or are you staying just with the
children?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (20:13):
So there are already adult programs.
The Biosphere Collaborativeoffers lectures for adults down
at Pelican Brewery.
There are days out likeWelcoming the Salmon Home, which
are very family oriented.
And so really they're reachingout to all community members.
(20:34):
And I just want to say thatearlier I said K through 80 or
90, but actually I've workedwith preschool here as well.
So lower, yeah.
RR (20:45):
Goodness gracious.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (20:46):
Yeah.
RR (20:47):
That's quite a span.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (20:49):
It is.
RR (20:50):
I mean, it's a lifespan.
Yeah,
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (20:52):
exactly.
RR (20:53):
But then again, the biosphere is a lifespan, is it
not?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (20:57):
It sure is.
We wouldn't be here without it.
RR (21:00):
The biosphere covers a certain segment of this region,
and it is established and willcontinue to be, or is there
anything down the road that thepeople that are involved in the
biosphere are going to have todo to perpetuate it?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (21:21):
So I think there's a review process, and I
think the group that has us havethis UNESCO Man in Biosphere
region designation recently wentthrough an evaluation and I'm
not sure how long it's good for.
But anyway, there is a renewalprocess and there's a variety of
(21:42):
criteria that the people whoare living and working here in
the biosphere region need to beable to meet in order to
maintain the designation.
And one of the things I reallylove about the designation, it
is land, waters, air, and andpeople, and it includes what we
(22:04):
do here in this place.
RR (22:05):
I like that.
It is not locking up theproperty.
No,
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (22:10):
we all are part of it.
RR (22:12):
We're all part of it and continue to be.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (22:14):
Yes, and hopefully we can be good
stewards of it, even betterstewards of it.
And
RR (22:20):
that's really the lesson to be learned, right?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (22:23):
Yeah.
For sure.
I mean, that's something that'sreally important for Cascade
Head Biosphere Collaborative isthat all of us are taking care
of this place because this placeis taking care of us.
And that's something that'skind of easy to not think about.
But really, it is taking careof us with the clean air and
(22:43):
plentiful seafood and beautifullandscapes.
And I could go on and on.
RR (22:49):
It is critically important that that education process
begins with the children though,right?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (22:53):
Yeah.
And goes all the way up inhelping kids build a
relationship with this amazingplace that they live in.
Yeah.
RR (23:02):
I think starting with the children and working forward,
hopefully we will learnsomething from that process as
well as adults.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (23:11):
Yeah, and the great thing about working
with kids is they go home andtalk to their families and tell
their families what they've doneand hopefully bring their
families out to some of theplaces we've taught them.
And so then kids become theexperts.
RR (23:25):
Dr.
Kathy Chambliss, Director ofEducation for the Biosphere
Collaborative, thanks for beinghere, and thank you for the work
that you're doing.

RR (24:24):
Well, we certainly hope that we've enlightened you a little
bit about education and what youcan do to help the children of
all ages in North Ligon County.
Son Paul (24:32):
Right, yeah, so hopefully everybody really fills
that bus.
You're coming after Labor Day,though, right, this year?
RR (24:39):
Yes, absolutely.
We're moving it after Labor Daythis year only.
We've had it after Labor Day inyears gone by, but this year

Great.
Okay.
RR (26:27):
Thank you.
That's fun stuff.
Let's see.
For the third quarter, therewere 55 awards totaling
$648,196.88.
What we're talking about is themoney given by the Confederated
Tribes of Salud Indians to avariety of non-profits in a
(26:49):
seven-county region.
$648,000 given in one night.
Son Paul (26:55):
Yeah, that's just a 90-day supply, too, right?
That's just a quarterlydistribution that they're making
in this year.
So, wow, that's justincredible.
I know we talked with Mike lastweek, and it was like over $19
million or something to date.
RR (27:10):
Yep,
Son Paul (27:10):
actually,
RR (27:11):
I got a note from Mike Holden, and it's getting close
to $20 million.
The next quarterly handout, ifyou will, not a handout, it'd be
more a hand up, will be onNovember 7th at the Chinookoans
Casino Resort Hotel.
I'd like to go to that event,even though I know I'm not
(27:33):
getting any money for any of thenonprofits that I'm involved
in, but I'd like to sit thereand listen to all of the stories
of organizations and what theydo for the benefit of other
people.
It just is heartwarming.
It's just a wonderful,wonderful thing to do And Dee
(27:54):
Pigsley is always there.
The people that do all of thehard work of deciding how much
money goes where are there tohand them out.
And, of course, then the peoplethat are going to receive the
gifts.
It's just fun.
Yeah, it's a nice ceremony.
Anything else you decided atthe table we need to know about
today?
Son Paul (28:14):
Well, just on Saturday, I think there might be
a couple spots left for peoplethat want to get their feet wet
with kayaking in the daylight.
I think there's a couple spotsleft.
Go to caskethead.org And if youdon't have your own boat, you
can rent one through SafariTown.

our children become successful.
With us, Sharon Jasmeer fromLincoln City Outlets and Pat
Robertson from Beefy, Businessfor Excellence and Youth.
Welcome aboard.
Well,
Pat Robertson (02:17):
we're happy to be here.
RR (02:19):
Sharon, let's start with you.
Lincoln City Outlets is goingto be hosting again Stuff-A-Bus.
What is Stuff-A-Bus?
Sharon Jasmer (02:27):
You know, Stuffabuzz is a program that was
in effect with my predecessor,Diane Cush.
And she and you came up withthis wonderful idea.
Your wife was involved.
I don't know all the storybecause I've only been doing it
for eight years, but this issomething that has been going on
for almost 30 now, I think.
(02:48):
31.
Pat Robertson (02:48):
Yeah.
Sharon Jasmer (02:49):
Is it 31?
I never know.
I never know anymore.
But we are happy to provide aplace for the bus.
We're happy to provide a leg upfor our students and for
parents as costs continue torise.
Of course, outlet shopping andfinding the school supplies and
the clothes and all of thethings that are necessary.
(03:10):
And we are always thrilled tobe a part of Stuff-A-Bus.
RR (03:15):
Stuff-A-Bus is going to be coming up in September, and
we'll talk about that in just amoment, but first, Pat, Business
for Excellence Youth, you werepart of the original board,
correct?
Pat Robertson (03:26):
Yes.
Back in 98, it started withFrank Harris and a lot of people
from the city.
I'm not sure who was involved.
I just went as a an advocatefor the kids and they were
business for excellence in youthmeant helping kids in a lot of
different ways.
One was providing scholarshipsfor clothes or anything else
(03:50):
that they needed or for programsthat they had to have some
expense for or shoes.
You name it, we gave whateverthe kids needed and also band
instruments as well.
We helped them with theirrenting of them for the use.
RR (04:05):
And again, the bottom line is to get They did what the kids
needed to make them successful.
Pat Robertson (04:10):
Exactly.
And then in 2007, Karen Doomerand I started a backpack food
program, and we added that tothem as well because they were a
501c3, and we wanted to makesure whoever donated to our
cause would have access to that.
And that just zoomed as faras...
(04:33):
unbelievable help for theBackpack Food Program.
RR (04:38):
We'll talk more about the Backpack Food Program in just a
moment.
But first, Sharon, let's goback to you.
Why would a outlet centerbecome involved in an activity
where it's not the traditionalplace to go buy school supplies?
Why the big jump into thathuge, important program?
Sharon Jasmer (04:59):
Well, you know, Lincoln City Outlets was the
very first outlet center in allof oregon and when you look we
have some old aerial photographsin our office of what our
outlet center looked like underconstruction and then we did the
addition and then we did wheremy office is which by the way
let me just say i'm gonna go ona side tangent which i'm known
(05:22):
for i'm really glad we're herein your studio today because we
just kicked off our part of thepromotion for stuff of us for
2025 and we launched it onAugust 15th.
This recording is obviouslyhappening a couple of days
later.
What are we on the 18th, 19th?
And after five days of runningour promotion, which is just a
(05:45):
very simple one this year.
of buy your backpack atparticipating stores, and there
are four of them in the outlets,and then pick out a backpack
and it's on us.
So the outlets are actuallybuying the backpacks this year.
RR (05:59):
That could be dangerous.
Sharon Jasmer (06:00):
It is dangerous.
We have no room in ourconference room right now
already.
We have had donations of 65backpacks in just five days.
And so that's huge.
And when we think about thenumber of kids that are in our
area, and the kids in ourcommunity and how much Lincoln
(06:21):
City Outlets has been a part ofthe community since its
inception back in 19...
RR (06:27):
Way back.
Sharon Jasmer (06:27):
Way back when.
I want to say 92, 93.
Since then, we have been a keyplayer in the development of
Lincoln City.
We have just grown with thecity as the city has grown as
well.
There's a lot of jobs and a lotof economy that comes out of
(06:48):
our our facility and it makessense to support the community
that has supported us and we arehappy to do so
RR (06:57):
back to pat and uh you just recently completed a peanut
butter drive
Pat Robertson (07:03):
we did and it's a competition for the peanut
butter drive between thefinancial institutions the banks
and the credit unions here andthey are so competitive it's
just It's unbelievable.
We've gotten over, what didthey tell me?
Well, TLC is in the running forthe top, and they ended just
(07:25):
this week, and so we haven't gotall the numbers.
But TLC has given us 1,313 jarsof peanut butter.
1,300 jars of peanut butter.
RR (07:35):
Phenomenal.
And
Pat Robertson (07:40):
Callie and Jed are very competitive.
I think last year she just beathim barely, but this year he's
gotten at 850, and he said moreare coming.
Sharon Jasmer (07:54):
He told me that last night.
I ran into him at the Slits BayMusic Festival banquet asking
about this because obviously,you know, stuff of us, and I
love the peanut butter drive,and I asked how Oregon Coast
Bank was doing, and he said, Idon't know if we're going to
catch Callie and the team at TLCthis year, but it is fierce.
competitive.
(08:16):
I mean, he's still talkingabout it and I know that the
donation drive ended on Friday.
On Friday, yeah.
Pat Robertson (08:23):
He's still going on.
So far, we've got 2,500 Over2,500 jars of just peanut
butter.
And every child will get peanutbutter every week, believe
RR (08:34):
me.
Taking care of the children inNorth Lincoln County, that's our
theme, that's our goal.
And we'll be back in just amoment.

RR (09:26):
Continuing with our discussions about helping kids
of North Lincoln County, andthis is a phenomenal undertaking
by a lot of people, a lot ofvolunteers are involved in this,
two that are with us, PatRobertson from Business for
Excellence in Youth on the Boardof Directors and Sharon Jasmeer
from Lincoln City Athletes.
Again, Sharon, Stuff-A-Bus isSeptember, and it will be...
(09:50):
Phenomenal.
Sharon Jasmer (09:52):
It will be phenomenal.
We have, every year we've donethis, Roger, I'm just amazed at
how it continues to grow.
And how the donations are neverquite the same.
But they're hugely successfulsometimes they come in with
(10:12):
clothing sometimes it's tons ofbackpacks tons of supplies where
we're dropping off supplies atthe main office at the school
because we've had so manysupplies and we've run out of
kids for backpacks so then wejust hold on to that because you
know you can only use so muchpaper before you need more paper
(10:32):
so we we make sure that thatgets into the school offices and
copy And it's amazing to me,especially as one who didn't
grow up here in Lincoln City orLincoln County, that how truly
this whole community getstogether and just figures out
what our kids need.
And we just somehowmiraculously make it happen
(10:56):
through this.
constant effort andperseverance and figuring out
truly how to get to that yeskind of thing.
Like, yes, we can help you.
I
RR (11:07):
love the fact that we always have Moe's shows up with over
$1,000 worth of school supplies
Sharon Jasmer (11:14):
that
RR (11:14):
they gather throughout the course of the year as well.
Sharon Jasmer (11:17):
Yeah.
RR (11:18):
Shouldn't it go in with another $1,000 in cash?
Sharon Jasmer (11:21):
Yeah.
To here, use it for what'sreally necessary.
And I just, I really adorethat.
Lincoln City Gifts, they're atour Outland Center.
They have been collectingdonations I want to say since
May.
RR (11:36):
And then they will put together the entire bag of
school supplies.
Sharon Jasmer (11:41):
Yes, they will.
They will take the lists thatPat first helped me get together
and now she's just like, canyou just print those?
Can you just alter those?
Anyway, if Pat Robertson asksyou to do something, it just
kind of gets done.
You're like, yes, may And so wegive them the lists as well for
(12:02):
the classrooms.
And they buy the suppliesthrough the donations that
they've received and throughtheir own graciousness.
And they stuff the backpacks.
And those are all done so thatPat's volunteers don't have to
try to figure that out.
And we're ready for the kids tostart picking them up right
away.
It's great.
Pat Robertson (12:22):
But we still could use volunteers to help us
with the mourning of the stuff abus because we come in with
some needing to stuff the bus orthe bags and we sort them by
grade so
RR (12:34):
then when the parents can pick up the bags at
Pat Robertson (12:38):
like 10 o'clock in the morning and all through
the day but we just need help toget it going i guess and
RR (12:45):
we'll be there anybody can volunteer to help out and they
contact you
Pat Robertson (12:49):
yes or sharon
RR (12:50):
yeah yeah and we'll give you a time to come
Pat Robertson (12:54):
yes
RR (12:54):
and you can't give us too much time no
Pat Robertson (12:57):
No,
Sharon Jasmer (12:58):
definitely not.
Pat Robertson (12:59):
We have a few that have their own duties, and
they'll do them because that'swhat they do every year.
But don't bother them, I mean,but come and help us.
Sharon Jasmer (13:08):
There's
Pat Robertson (13:08):
always something to be done.
It's just so fun because wehave such loyal volunteers.
RR (13:14):
Now, who can get one of the bags or the food?
Pat Robertson (13:18):
Everybody can get a bag of school supplies.
There's no requirements like...
No means testing whatsoever.
Not whatsoever.
Everybody...
should have school supplies.
As far as the backpack foodprogram, we usually try to get
those who really, really needthe food.
Right now we're feeding over300 kids a month, and that's on
(13:41):
a steady, steady time.
I mean, it's not fluctuating atall, and we do it all year
long.
In the summer, we also do it.
Since COVID, we've been nowdoing the backpack distributions
at our pantry, which is underCity Hall.
And the reason for that is...
It was difficult getting backinto the school because of
(14:04):
COVID.
And we've got into Ocean Lakeand the preschools.
But for Taft Elementary and thehigh school, any other children
that need food, we have themcome to our backpack pantry.
And it's once a month.
And we give them enough foodthat would be like we gave them
(14:26):
like every week, like we did inthe backpack food program.
But this way, we can give themperishable food too, because the
parents are picking up theboxes.
So it's a little differentvenue than we did.
RR (14:40):
That's for the summertime.
Pat Robertson (14:41):
No, it's all
RR (14:42):
year.
It's going to be year round.
Yeah, it
Pat Robertson (14:44):
is all year round.
Although we do, if they want itto go pick it up every week at
the school, we have some schoolsthat will let that happen.
RR (14:52):
All right.
So stuff of us, again, weshould probably tell people that
it is September 5th.
Sharon Jasmer (14:58):
It is.
We've been spreading the word.
We have been answering quite afew phone calls at the outlets.
People are calling in asking,when's the stuff a bus and when
can we be there?
So it's important to know thatdue to circumstances this year,
we will be doing it after LaborDay.
(15:22):
they still need for theirclassrooms, just know that they
can start picking them up onFriday, September 5th, beginning
at 10 o'clock in the morning.
And it's going to go until sixo'clock at night.
Drop-offs can begin as early aseight o'clock in the morning
(15:44):
and you'll find the bus and itwill be behind the venue where
we normally have it.
It'll be right next door toRack Room Shoes and where we had
it last year.
Jana (15:55):
And
Sharon Jasmer (15:56):
it will be in suite one 112 this year not 111
but sweet 112 but you can't missthat bus and then again it'll
stay open until 6 o'clock atnight so that parents who do
work during the day can stillstop by swing into the outlets
grab their backpack maybe do alittle extra shopping as well
(16:17):
and head on out for school
RR (16:19):
help us stuff a bus
Sharon Jasmer (16:21):
absolutely
RR (16:22):
feed kids
Sharon Jasmer (16:23):
that's right
RR (16:24):
it's all what it's all about and I'm proud to be part of it
with us Sharon Jasmer fromLincoln City Adelets and Pat
Robertson from Business forExcellence and Youth.
Stuff a bus again.
That is right here in LincolnCity, September 5.

RR (17:11):
On the Double R Show, we have the opportunity now to talk
to Dr.
Kathleen Cathy Chambliss.
And Cathy, Dr.
Cathy is director of...
Education for the BiosphericCollaborative.
That's rather a big mouthful.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (17:25):
It certainly is.
RR (17:27):
And that really means what?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (17:29):
So it's something I'm learning.
It is a work in progress.
I just started at thecollaborative in February and we
are growing programs forenvironmental education programs
for kids from first gradethrough eighth grade and
(17:49):
hopefully beyond.
RR (17:50):
So your background for this type of work is what?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (17:53):
I have a background in science and
education and sustainability andI work I've worked in the
classroom and I've also workedin the field with K through 80.
That's
RR (18:08):
quite a distance.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (18:11):
Yeah.
RR (18:12):
What brings you to the Oregon coast?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (18:14):
Oh, gosh.
Well, I was a student at OregonState University a few decades
ago, and I always loved theOregon coast and visited many
times.
I came here from Maryland, andCOVID caused a lot of
disruption, and I decided tocontinue the disruption and head
out here to a place I alwayswanted to live.
(18:35):
So here I am.
RR (18:36):
Kind of nice to find a place that you always wanted to live
and then a position at the sametime.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (18:41):
Yeah.
Exactly.
And those didn't come in thesame order.
RR (18:46):
But they're together now.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (18:47):
They are together now.
RR (18:49):
So tell me about the program, work program that you
anticipated, that you've had andwill have.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (18:56):
So the Biosphere Collaborative, one of
the reasons why I was attractedto them and reached out to them
was because I really appreciatetheir holistic approach to
education.
It's whole child, whole adult.
So we're not teaching studentsjust subjects, but we're
(19:17):
teaching them about how to be inthe world and how they're part
of ecosystems.
And you asked me another partto that question.
Yeah, so the program, so theBiosphere Collaborative has
three programs that they'veestablished, first and second
grade, third and fourth grade,fifth and sixth grade, and they
(19:38):
want to continue.
And basically they'redeveloping programs that are
outdoor school for all kids inthis amazing place.
Like this place is reallyextraordinary and kids and
adults are part of it.
And I guess you could say theBiosphere Collaborative is
(19:59):
helping kids figure out theirplace in this place.
RR (20:04):
So will the program also be...
channel to the adults as well,or are you staying just with the
children?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (20:13):
So there are already adult programs.
The Biosphere Collaborativeoffers lectures for adults down
at Pelican Brewery.
There are days out likeWelcoming the Salmon Home, which
are very family oriented.
And so really they're reachingout to all community members.
(20:34):
And I just want to say thatearlier I said K through 80 or
90, but actually I've workedwith preschool here as well.
So lower, yeah.
RR (20:45):
Goodness gracious.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (20:46):
Yeah.
RR (20:47):
That's quite a span.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (20:49):
It is.
RR (20:50):
I mean, it's a lifespan.
Yeah,
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (20:52):
exactly.
RR (20:53):
But then again, the biosphere is a lifespan, is it
not?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (20:57):
It sure is.
We wouldn't be here without it.
RR (21:00):
The biosphere covers a certain segment of this region,
and it is established and willcontinue to be, or is there
anything down the road that thepeople that are involved in the
biosphere are going to have todo to perpetuate it?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (21:21):
So I think there's a review process, and I
think the group that has us havethis UNESCO Man in Biosphere
region designation recently wentthrough an evaluation and I'm
not sure how long it's good for.
But anyway, there is a renewalprocess and there's a variety of
(21:42):
criteria that the people whoare living and working here in
the biosphere region need to beable to meet in order to
maintain the designation.
And one of the things I reallylove about the designation, it
is land, waters, air, and andpeople, and it includes what we
(22:04):
do here in this place.
RR (22:05):
I like that.
It is not locking up theproperty.
No,
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (22:10):
we all are part of it.
RR (22:12):
We're all part of it and continue to be.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (22:14):
Yes, and hopefully we can be good
stewards of it, even betterstewards of it.
And
RR (22:20):
that's really the lesson to be learned, right?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (22:23):
Yeah.
For sure.
I mean, that's something that'sreally important for Cascade
Head Biosphere Collaborative isthat all of us are taking care
of this place because this placeis taking care of us.
And that's something that'skind of easy to not think about.
But really, it is taking careof us with the clean air and
(22:43):
plentiful seafood and beautifullandscapes.
And I could go on and on.
RR (22:49):
It is critically important that that education process
begins with the children though,right?
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (22:53):
Yeah.
And goes all the way up inhelping kids build a
relationship with this amazingplace that they live in.
Yeah.
RR (23:02):
I think starting with the children and working forward,
hopefully we will learnsomething from that process as
well as adults.
Dr. Kathy Chambliss (23:11):
Yeah, and the great thing about working
with kids is they go home andtalk to their families and tell
their families what they've doneand hopefully bring their
families out to some of theplaces we've taught them.
And so then kids become theexperts.
RR (23:25):
Dr.
Kathy Chambliss, Director ofEducation for the Biosphere
Collaborative, thanks for beinghere, and thank you for the work
that you're doing.

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.
