know a little bit of aninterview and and uh talk about
what what what's happening inhis life.
Okay, sounds good.
We also have Nikki Price comingon board and Dr.
Leslie Ogden.
It's uh interesting.
(01:09):
Dr.

somebody else that likes to flyaround as well.
That's right.
That's right.
Up, up, up.

Our next guest is Nikki Priest.
Nikki is the past chair, pastpresident uh of the Oregon
Cultural Trust.
Niki Price (01:57):
Yeah, I've been serving on the Oregon Cultural
Trust Board of Directors uh forthe past nine years.
RR (02:02):
And what is that?
Niki Price (02:03):
Well, the Oregon Cultural Trust is a statewide
governor-appointed board ofdirectors that helps oversee the
funds that are raised by theCultural Tax Credit.
And it's a unique way thatOregonians raise money to help
support arts, culture, heritage,and humanities projects across
the state.
An example would be uh Well, wehave a great example.
(02:26):
It's happening right here inLincoln City.
The Cultural Center is going tobe receiving a grant this year
to support our arts explorationprogram, which sends arts
programs, arts lessons rightinto the schools.
So that's just one grant thatis coming back to Lincoln City.
And but there's about fourmillion dollars worth of grants
that are going around the statethis year through the same
(02:48):
program.
RR (02:49):
So this is a annual give out or return to the communities,
or uh uh what happens?
What's the time frame?
Niki Price (02:58):
Well, the whole thing is structured around a tax
credit.
And that's why I'm here todayis to make sure that all the
listeners to the podcast knowabout the tax credit because you
have to take advantage of it togenerate these funds by
December 31st.
So I'm here to try to you knowraise awareness of it and make
sure that all your listenersknow how to use it.
RR (03:18):
So, how do I make a gift that becomes a tax credit?
What do I do?
Niki Price (03:23):
So it's got two parts.
And one our joke this year isuh let's do the two-step.
So let's do do the two-stepwith me.
I argue.
It's got two parts.
First, you make a gift to acultural nonprofit of your
choice.
And there's sixteen hundred ofthese across the state.
RR (03:39):
Oh my.
Niki Price (03:40):
Yeah, yeah.
So we've got, I think, 35 ofthem in Lincoln County alone.
So you know, you can make agift to the cultural center, the
Lincoln City Cultural Center,or you can make a gift to the
Oregon Coast CommunityFoundation or the Lincoln County
Foundation, Theater West,Oregon Coast Council for the
Arts, you know, you name it.
Any arts, the museums, um, theLincoln County, you know,
(04:02):
Historical Society, NorthLincoln County Historical
Society, they're all part ofthis network.
RR (04:06):
So it doesn't have to be an organization that has made an
application for funding.
Okay.
Niki Price (04:12):
They just have to be qualified.
And even if if you give topublic radio, for example, you
know, OPB, KLCC, even the theone in in Toledo, KYAQ, you
know, you can you can give toone of those.
Uh, you can give to the OregonHistorical Society, you know,
you can give to the RailroadMuseum.
You know, anything that isheritage or history related that
(04:33):
has a nonprofit, it's probablyon the list.
RR (04:36):
So you give the gift to that organization, then you file for
it on your taxes?
Niki Price (04:40):
Well, that that's your first gift.
So that's your first step.
RR (04:43):
All right.
Right.
Niki Price (04:43):
And then you match that gift with a gift to the
cultural trust.
So say you give away.
Yeah, so you get say you give$100 to the cultural center,
Lincoln City, and then you maybeyou give another $100 to the
Cultural Trust.
But the cool part is that $100to the Cultural Trust comes off
your taxes next spring.
(05:04):
So it's like a free gift toarts and culture.
RR (05:07):
Very good.
Niki Price (05:08):
Yeah, it's like it's like writing a letter to the
governor and telling her thatshe must spend your $100 on
arts, culture, heritage, andhumanities, and she's got to do
it.
It's like a feeling of power.
RR (05:21):
There is no takeaway to give to a uh something other than
the arts and the the heritage.
Niki Price (05:28):
Yeah, it's gotta go there.
Yeah, and so using that taxcredit, they we take those those
funds that are given byOregonians in this manner using
this tax credit, and we bringall those funds together.
And by in using that taxcredit, we raised five and a
half million dollars last year.
RR (05:44):
Is there a minimum and or a maximum that uh people can
contribute?
That's an excellent question.
Niki Price (05:50):
Five hundred dollars for individuals or a thousand
dollars for couples filingjointly, or up to two thousand
dollars for corporations.
RR (05:57):
Oh, so corporations can be part of it.
Niki Price (05:59):
Corporations can be part of it too, yeah.
Well, the cool thing is is Iknow a lot of people out there
who are already making this, youknow, the the first step
donation.
And so they're alreadyqualified.
So this this time of year, I'mgoing around to a lot of boards
and and other nonprofits inLincoln County and just talking
to the boards and the people whoare serving on the boards
(06:20):
because I know that they arealready giving.
They're probably alreadyqualified.
Um, you're you're probablyalready investing in some of
these nonprofits in your owncommunities, and so for zero
extra dollars, you can be youknow contributing to the
cultural extra.
RR (06:34):
Again, bottom line is you make a contribution to uh uh X
corporation company, whatever itwould happen to be.
Then you turn around and writeanother check for the same
amount to the cultural trust,and when you file your taxes,
that money comes back to you.
The first or the second hundredcomes back to you then.
Niki Price (06:52):
That's right.
So if you rob file your taxes,you you might notice at the end
of your taxes there's a list oftax credits that you can claim.
There's one for giving topolitical campaigns, and there's
one to give, you know, maybeagricultural, there's a variety
of different tax credits thatyou can claim.
There's one for a cultural taxcredit, and this that's what you
claim.
And you can you can claim abunch together.
(07:17):
It's not you don't have toitemize them.
So if you give some to 300 Westand some to the cultural center
and some to OPB, it's anaggregate.
Okay, so you so if you give atotal of $500 to these cultural
nonprofits, then you can giveyour one check to the cultural
trust.
And you can do it online.
It's super fast and easy,cultural trust.org.
(07:40):
And uh it takes about twominutes.
RR (07:44):
And again, some of the items that has already been supported
in North Lincoln County wouldbe what?
Niki Price (07:50):
Well, uh the Cultural Trust funds a lot of
competitive grants.
And so so some of us, when wewhen we do really well in the
grant writing, we get some ofthe bigger grants, like the one
that's coming to the culturalcenter.
There's a big one coming to theSitka Center this year.
$40,000 is coming to the SitkaCenter for their arts education.
Yeah, there's a big one comingto the Oregon Coast Youth
(08:12):
Symphony out of Newport.
So they're getting a big onethis year.
And so, you know, we get acouple every year in our area of
the coast.
But the cool thing is that thecultural trust also gives out
sort of you know participationawards through the cultural
coalitions.
Every county in the state hastheir own cultural coalition,
(08:33):
and the the cultural trust justsends money just based on per
capita right to Lincoln County.
So every year the CulturalTrust sends $15,000 to Lincoln
County, and the CulturalCoalition gives out grants in
smaller amounts to localorganizations, and those are
much easier access points.
So through those, we fund allsorts of smaller grants, you
(08:56):
know, for for MissoulaChildren's Theater, for new
microphones at on the on thestage, for for um variety.
Yeah, all sorts of smallthings.
And it's and it's a smallgrant, it's much easier to get,
and it really helps support theI mean where else can these
small nonprofits go to get atwelve hundred dollar grant?
The cultural cultural.
RR (09:16):
Final question
Price and find out more aboutthe Oregon Cultural Trust, we do
what and how do we get a holdof you?
Niki Price (09:24):
Well, I'm happy to give you my cell phone number.
It's 541-921-2006.
And you could also reach out tothe Cultural Trust,
culturaltrust.org.
I'm actually at the CulturalCenter part-time right now.
You could drop by and see me.
I would be happy to walk youthrough this.
It sounds complicated, but it'sreally not.
And I encourage everyone togive it a try with a small
(09:46):
amount of money.
If you're not sure how itworks, just try it for, you
know, $100 this year, and thenwalk yourself through the tax
credit, claim it in April, andsee how it works.
And most of the time, when youdo it once, you understand how
easy it is.
You do it every year, and itreally makes a difference.
RR (10:53):
They were training with your staff.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (10:55):
They were.
RR (10:56):
Tell me about that.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (10:58):
Well, it's very exciting because uh we know
how important a partnership iswith the Coast Guard for saving
lives.
And we know now more than ever,because we're we're hearing
about it almost daily, howimportant the Coast Guard is to
the work that we all do, whetherthat be you know, fishermen or
(11:20):
someone hiking or a visitor toour coast.
But when they rescue somebodyand they bring them to our local
hospitals, we need to be readyat that drop of a hat to assume
care of that patient and whiskthem inside for whatever
life-saving type of care thatthey need.
RR (11:41):
Now you found out that there is some interesting protocol
that goes into getting thatperson into the helicopter, off,
out of the helicopter, and intothe hospital.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (11:51):
Correct, correct.
They do things a little bitdifferently than some of our
other helicopter partners.
RR (11:57):
Specifically for reasons.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (11:59):
Specifically for reasons.
They do what's called hotloads, meaning that they are not
going to shut down theirhelicopter when they land.
And we are going to be able totake that patient from them when
it's the right time.
But there's very specificprotocols to make sure that
we're all safe in doing that.
(12:20):
So the reasons why they preferthat hot load is for number one,
they have limited fuel.
Number two, they don't want tobreak down on our helipad and
turn the thing off and it notturned back on.
And number three, they could becalled at a moment's notice to
go back out and do uh otherrescues.
(12:41):
So they want to come to us,unload that patient as fast or
hot load that patient had it,had it, you know, if you want to
use that terminology, uh, asfast as possible, get that
patient into our care and beright back at it so that they
can save more lives.
RR (12:59):
Now, this training that you just went through with both
hospitals, is that somethingthat you do annually,
semi-annually, or monthly, orhow often does this happen?
Dr. Lesley Ogden (13:10):
Well, we'd like for it to be annually, and
I think we're gonna really pushfor that.
Years and years ago, I wentthrough the training when I was
uh an ER doc, and uh we justhaven't done it as frequently as
we should.
And so at a recent tabletopexercise where we had all of our
emergency preparedness folksand the Coast Guard and all of
(13:31):
our other partners, we said,boy, this is really something
that we need to focus on.
And so we're so pleased thatthe the Coast Guard devoted an
hour at each of our hospitalsfor all of our emergency
department staff, uh housesupervisors, anyone else that
will be involved in this to getout there and to get this
(13:53):
training.
RR (13:54):
Before we went on the air, you were talking about some of
the things that uh the personnelhave to do, even to the height
of the people going out to getthat person off the helicopter.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (14:04):
Correct, correct.
We need to be aware that ifyou're one of those people
that's very tall in stature, youyou might be very aware that
there's some uh circling bladesand want to, of course, duck
down you know how you approachthe aircraft.
We're taught how to do that.
We have to have hearingprotection, so many different
(14:26):
things, um, down to the signalsthat the pilots and others will
give us when it's time toapproach the aircraft.
So um it is it is verydefinitely uh training with
safety in mind for everyone onboard the helicopter as well as
all of our ground personnel whoare running up to the helicopter
(14:48):
and extracting the patient.
RR (14:49):
We know that most people come in or a lot of the people
come into the hospital becauseof those Coast Guard
helicopters.
Do they take them out of theSamaritan or Pacific Communities
Hospital to the valley?
Dr. Lesley Ogden (15:02):
No, no, that then is our our other partner,
which is Lifelight.
Because once the Coast Guarddrops them with us, then we do
whatever care is appropriate.
And oftentimes if they'recoming to us, they need a lot of
care.
If they're they could behypothermic, they could, you
(15:24):
know, have um respiratorydistress, they can, you know,
just have a number of issuesassociated with exposure uh to
the outdoors, whether that bewater, whether that be forest
for too long.
So oftentimes they need uh ahigher level of care.
We'll stabilize them, but thenwe'll want to get them somewhere
(15:45):
else.
And of course, our partners,LifeFlight, they have flight
nurses that are trained inadvance life uh saving
capabilities, and we'll wantthem to go with the folks uh for
the remainder of theirtreatment, you know, time in
route.
RR (16:01):
From the time that the Coast Guard gets the person uh picked
up, beat it out of the water,the woods, whatever it would
happen to be, it is just amatter of minutes before they're
on your doorstep, right?
Dr. Lesley Ogden (16:14):
Correct, correct.
And that's their goal, andthat's our goal as well, to
minimize the time that theyspend with the Coast Guard
simply because the Coast Guarddoesn't have as many medical
personnel on board.
In fact, the majority arenon-medical, and so what we need
is we need to get our medicalpersonnel, you know, uh really
(16:36):
interacting with the patient andtreating them as quickly as
possible.
RR (16:39):
All the more reason for that helicopter to be positioned in
Newport.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (16:44):
Correct.
Absolutely.
You said it, Roger.
RR (16:47):
Absolutely.
I mean, it is criticallyimportant.
It's not a nicety, it's acritical item.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (16:55):
It is a matter of life and death.
RR (16:57):
Dr.
Leslie Ogden, SamaritanNorthleague Hospital, Pacific
Communities Hospital.
And again, the having thathelicopter in Newport is
critical.
The training that goes in withyour staff and the staff on
board that flight, again,critically important as well.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (17:15):
Critically important, and we hope to do it
again and again and again.

that.
We have Santa Claus on the roofand on the air.
Santa, how are ya?
Santa Claus (18:30):
Oh, Merry Christmas! I'm doing great.
It's been a busy, busy nightfor sure.
RR (18:38):
You you've already gone from New York to Chicago to North
Dakota, and now all the way outhere to uh Lincoln City, Oregon.
That's a lot of country tocover.
Santa Claus (18:47):
It is, and it's a long way to travel, but it's
worth it every year.
I love to do it, I tell you.
I've had some trouble with someof the chimneys though.
Mrs.
Collins is gonna have to dosome repair work when I get home
because uh I think maybe I'vehad too much milk and cookies if
that happens with the gym, youknow.
RR (19:08):
Is there too much milk and cookies?
Is that possible?
And does it uh keep you uh fituh to uh get going for the
following year?
Santa Claus (19:26):
Oh yes, we stay busy and preparation all the
rest of the time.
You get the reindeer to takecare of and gifts to be made and
presents to be prepared.
So it makes me before we canget the treatment before we get
back to the milking cookies.
RR (19:45):
I have no idea how you can possibly read all of those
letters, uh
Santa Claus (20:00):
Thousands of years ago.
And uh so I read every singleone of them, and I love all the
letters I get from all thechildren all over the world.
And I've also got some handlesthat help with translation work
as well.
RR (20:13):
I perhaps think because you go all the way around the world.
Santa Claus (20:17):
Absolutely.
Everyone gets a present fromSanta.
RR (20:21):
Is there a letter that stands out in Santa's mind uh
that you receive from littleJohnny or or sister Sue that uh
really beats at your heart?
Santa Claus (20:35):
Well, I like it when when I get a letter from
someone who's asking forsomething for someone else.
Oh I mean, of course, everylittle boy or girl wants their
present, wants their toy,whatever it is, or or they want
some kind of special music thingor some sort of device that
they can use on their computersnowadays.
(20:57):
But especially when someonesays, Santa, will you please
help my next door neighbor or mygrandma or my friend or my
teacher?
That always tugs at myheartstrings.
RR (21:09):
That's gotta be just something that that you can take
home to the North Pole for anduntil you're ready to come again
next year.
Santa Claus (21:19):
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
People, this is a time of yearwhen people are looking at their
neighbors and wondering ifeverybody's okay, and they're
always trying to find a way tohelp other people out.
And that warms Santa's heart.
RR (21:34):
Has there been any favorite toys uh that uh you've had a lot
of requests for this year,Santa?
Is it uh dolls or trucks orwhat what's happening?
Santa Claus (21:46):
Well, most kids want some kind of a gift card.
RR (21:50):
Oh because then they can get whatever they want.
Huh.
Had not thought of that.
That's that's a little easierfor you to make.
Santa Claus (21:58):
You can fit a lot of gift cards into that bag of
mine.
RR (22:02):
It it saves a lot of wear and tear on Santa's arm.
Santa Claus (22:05):
That's right.
That's right.
All the up and down.
It uh saves a lot.
RR (22:10):
I know as you sit around uh the the area and in uh little
boys and girls come and get onyour knee, uh, they're always
wondering about Rudolph.
Santa Claus (22:21):
Yes, Rudolph has been hard at work.
I don't know how I would gethere.
You know, coming into towntonight, it was pretty cloudy up
there.
Uh and uh it's always foggyalong the coast here, I found
over the years.
So Santa really relies onRudolph to help us get through
that thick weather that youcan't see in.
RR (22:42):
Do you sing any special song when you're uh sailing across
the country at a gazillion milesan hour?
Santa Claus (22:52):
Oh, I love jingle bells.
Jingle bells, jingle.
Because you know, I have somejingle bells on my reindeer.
They have jingle bells, and andon the top of my hat,
oftentimes this is called shesews one of those little bells,
and so I love jingle bells.
It just makes my it makes mybelly bounce up and down like a
(23:12):
bowl full of jelly.
I laugh so hard whenever I singit.
RR (23:15):
Would you like to sing a couple of bars of jingle bells
for Santa?
Jingle bells, jingle bells,jingle all the way.
Santa Claus (23:24):
Oh, what fun it is to ride in Santa Claus and say,
hey, jingle bells, jingle bells.
I can't stop laughing when Ising it.
RR (23:38):
I uh I'm having a tough time, Santa, looking across the
table at Son Paul and producingthis show because he's really
enjoying hearing from Santa.
Santa Claus (23:48):
Well, Paul has grown up to be a fine man.
I remember when he was just alittle shaver asking for a
football for Christmas.
RR (23:58):
Yeah.
That was a number of years ago,Santa.
Santa Claus (24:02):
That's been a while.
RR (24:05):
Well, anything else that uh you want to impart to all the
boys and girls, and moms anddads and grandmas and grandpas
that are listening to us all theway around the world?
Santa Claus (24:17):
Well, I want them to remember, no matter what
gifts you give or what gifts youreceive this year, that you
should always enjoy the gifts oflove.
This is a season when peoplelove each other, when we're
reminded how important that isto give to each other and

Up on the rooftop, clip clip, clip clip, clip.
How does that go, Santa?
Up on a rooftop.
Clip clop clip.
Clip clop clip.
I knew it was something likethat.
Santa Claus (24:58):

Our next guest is Nikki Priest.
Nikki is the past chair, pastpresident uh of the Oregon
Cultural Trust.
Niki Price (01:57):
Yeah, I've been serving on the Oregon Cultural
Trust Board of Directors uh forthe past nine years.
RR (02:02):
And what is that?
Niki Price (02:03):
Well, the Oregon Cultural Trust is a statewide
governor-appointed board ofdirectors that helps oversee the
funds that are raised by theCultural Tax Credit.
And it's a unique way thatOregonians raise money to help
support arts, culture, heritage,and humanities projects across
the state.
An example would be uh Well, wehave a great example.
(02:26):
It's happening right here inLincoln City.
The Cultural Center is going tobe receiving a grant this year
to support our arts explorationprogram, which sends arts
programs, arts lessons rightinto the schools.
So that's just one grant thatis coming back to Lincoln City.
And but there's about fourmillion dollars worth of grants
that are going around the statethis year through the same
(02:48):
program.
RR (02:49):
So this is a annual give out or return to the communities,
or uh uh what happens?
What's the time frame?
Niki Price (02:58):
Well, the whole thing is structured around a tax
credit.
And that's why I'm here todayis to make sure that all the
listeners to the podcast knowabout the tax credit because you
have to take advantage of it togenerate these funds by
December 31st.
So I'm here to try to you knowraise awareness of it and make
sure that all your listenersknow how to use it.
RR (03:18):
So, how do I make a gift that becomes a tax credit?
What do I do?
Niki Price (03:23):
So it's got two parts.
And one our joke this year isuh let's do the two-step.
So let's do do the two-stepwith me.
I argue.
It's got two parts.
First, you make a gift to acultural nonprofit of your
choice.
And there's sixteen hundred ofthese across the state.
RR (03:39):
Oh my.
Niki Price (03:40):
Yeah, yeah.
So we've got, I think, 35 ofthem in Lincoln County alone.
So you know, you can make agift to the cultural center, the
Lincoln City Cultural Center,or you can make a gift to the
Oregon Coast CommunityFoundation or the Lincoln County
Foundation, Theater West,Oregon Coast Council for the
Arts, you know, you name it.
Any arts, the museums, um, theLincoln County, you know,
(04:02):
Historical Society, NorthLincoln County Historical
Society, they're all part ofthis network.
RR (04:06):
So it doesn't have to be an organization that has made an
application for funding.
Okay.
Niki Price (04:12):
They just have to be qualified.
And even if if you give topublic radio, for example, you
know, OPB, KLCC, even the theone in in Toledo, KYAQ, you
know, you can you can give toone of those.
Uh, you can give to the OregonHistorical Society, you know,
you can give to the RailroadMuseum.
You know, anything that isheritage or history related that
(04:33):
has a nonprofit, it's probablyon the list.
RR (04:36):
So you give the gift to that organization, then you file for
it on your taxes?
Niki Price (04:40):
Well, that that's your first gift.
So that's your first step.
RR (04:43):
All right.
Right.
Niki Price (04:43):
And then you match that gift with a gift to the
cultural trust.
So say you give away.
Yeah, so you get say you give$100 to the cultural center,
Lincoln City, and then you maybeyou give another $100 to the
Cultural Trust.
But the cool part is that $100to the Cultural Trust comes off
your taxes next spring.
(05:04):
So it's like a free gift toarts and culture.
RR (05:07):
Very good.
Niki Price (05:08):
Yeah, it's like it's like writing a letter to the
governor and telling her thatshe must spend your $100 on
arts, culture, heritage, andhumanities, and she's got to do
it.
It's like a feeling of power.
RR (05:21):
There is no takeaway to give to a uh something other than
the arts and the the heritage.
Niki Price (05:28):
Yeah, it's gotta go there.
Yeah, and so using that taxcredit, they we take those those
funds that are given byOregonians in this manner using
this tax credit, and we bringall those funds together.
And by in using that taxcredit, we raised five and a
half million dollars last year.
RR (05:44):
Is there a minimum and or a maximum that uh people can
contribute?
That's an excellent question.
Niki Price (05:50):
Five hundred dollars for individuals or a thousand
dollars for couples filingjointly, or up to two thousand
dollars for corporations.
RR (05:57):
Oh, so corporations can be part of it.
Niki Price (05:59):
Corporations can be part of it too, yeah.
Well, the cool thing is is Iknow a lot of people out there
who are already making this, youknow, the the first step
donation.
And so they're alreadyqualified.
So this this time of year, I'mgoing around to a lot of boards
and and other nonprofits inLincoln County and just talking
to the boards and the people whoare serving on the boards
(06:20):
because I know that they arealready giving.
They're probably alreadyqualified.
Um, you're you're probablyalready investing in some of
these nonprofits in your owncommunities, and so for zero
extra dollars, you can be youknow contributing to the
cultural extra.
RR (06:34):
Again, bottom line is you make a contribution to uh uh X
corporation company, whatever itwould happen to be.
Then you turn around and writeanother check for the same
amount to the cultural trust,and when you file your taxes,
that money comes back to you.
The first or the second hundredcomes back to you then.
Niki Price (06:52):
That's right.
So if you rob file your taxes,you you might notice at the end
of your taxes there's a list oftax credits that you can claim.
There's one for giving topolitical campaigns, and there's
one to give, you know, maybeagricultural, there's a variety
of different tax credits thatyou can claim.
There's one for a cultural taxcredit, and this that's what you
claim.
And you can you can claim abunch together.
(07:17):
It's not you don't have toitemize them.
So if you give some to 300 Westand some to the cultural center
and some to OPB, it's anaggregate.
Okay, so you so if you give atotal of $500 to these cultural
nonprofits, then you can giveyour one check to the cultural
trust.
And you can do it online.
It's super fast and easy,cultural trust.org.
(07:40):
And uh it takes about twominutes.
RR (07:44):
And again, some of the items that has already been supported
in North Lincoln County wouldbe what?
Niki Price (07:50):
Well, uh the Cultural Trust funds a lot of
competitive grants.
And so so some of us, when wewhen we do really well in the
grant writing, we get some ofthe bigger grants, like the one
that's coming to the culturalcenter.
There's a big one coming to theSitka Center this year.
$40,000 is coming to the SitkaCenter for their arts education.
Yeah, there's a big one comingto the Oregon Coast Youth
(08:12):
Symphony out of Newport.
So they're getting a big onethis year.
And so, you know, we get acouple every year in our area of
the coast.
But the cool thing is that thecultural trust also gives out
sort of you know participationawards through the cultural
coalitions.
Every county in the state hastheir own cultural coalition,
(08:33):
and the the cultural trust justsends money just based on per
capita right to Lincoln County.
So every year the CulturalTrust sends $15,000 to Lincoln
County, and the CulturalCoalition gives out grants in
smaller amounts to localorganizations, and those are
much easier access points.
So through those, we fund allsorts of smaller grants, you
(08:56):
know, for for MissoulaChildren's Theater, for new
microphones at on the on thestage, for for um variety.
Yeah, all sorts of smallthings.
And it's and it's a smallgrant, it's much easier to get,
and it really helps support theI mean where else can these
small nonprofits go to get atwelve hundred dollar grant?
The cultural cultural.
RR (09:16):
Final question
Price and find out more aboutthe Oregon Cultural Trust, we do
what and how do we get a holdof you?
Niki Price (09:24):
Well, I'm happy to give you my cell phone number.
It's 541-921-2006.
And you could also reach out tothe Cultural Trust,
culturaltrust.org.
I'm actually at the CulturalCenter part-time right now.
You could drop by and see me.
I would be happy to walk youthrough this.
It sounds complicated, but it'sreally not.
And I encourage everyone togive it a try with a small
(09:46):
amount of money.
If you're not sure how itworks, just try it for, you
know, $100 this year, and thenwalk yourself through the tax
credit, claim it in April, andsee how it works.
And most of the time, when youdo it once, you understand how
easy it is.
You do it every year, and itreally makes a difference.
RR (10:53):
They were training with your staff.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (10:55):
They were.
RR (10:56):
Tell me about that.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (10:58):
Well, it's very exciting because uh we know
how important a partnership iswith the Coast Guard for saving
lives.
And we know now more than ever,because we're we're hearing
about it almost daily, howimportant the Coast Guard is to
the work that we all do, whetherthat be you know, fishermen or
(11:20):
someone hiking or a visitor toour coast.
But when they rescue somebodyand they bring them to our local
hospitals, we need to be readyat that drop of a hat to assume
care of that patient and whiskthem inside for whatever
life-saving type of care thatthey need.
RR (11:41):
Now you found out that there is some interesting protocol
that goes into getting thatperson into the helicopter, off,
out of the helicopter, and intothe hospital.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (11:51):
Correct, correct.
They do things a little bitdifferently than some of our
other helicopter partners.
RR (11:57):
Specifically for reasons.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (11:59):
Specifically for reasons.
They do what's called hotloads, meaning that they are not
going to shut down theirhelicopter when they land.
And we are going to be able totake that patient from them when
it's the right time.
But there's very specificprotocols to make sure that
we're all safe in doing that.
(12:20):
So the reasons why they preferthat hot load is for number one,
they have limited fuel.
Number two, they don't want tobreak down on our helipad and
turn the thing off and it notturned back on.
And number three, they could becalled at a moment's notice to
go back out and do uh otherrescues.
(12:41):
So they want to come to us,unload that patient as fast or
hot load that patient had it,had it, you know, if you want to
use that terminology, uh, asfast as possible, get that
patient into our care and beright back at it so that they
can save more lives.
RR (12:59):
Now, this training that you just went through with both
hospitals, is that somethingthat you do annually,
semi-annually, or monthly, orhow often does this happen?
Dr. Lesley Ogden (13:10):
Well, we'd like for it to be annually, and
I think we're gonna really pushfor that.
Years and years ago, I wentthrough the training when I was
uh an ER doc, and uh we justhaven't done it as frequently as
we should.
And so at a recent tabletopexercise where we had all of our
emergency preparedness folksand the Coast Guard and all of
(13:31):
our other partners, we said,boy, this is really something
that we need to focus on.
And so we're so pleased thatthe the Coast Guard devoted an
hour at each of our hospitalsfor all of our emergency
department staff, uh housesupervisors, anyone else that
will be involved in this to getout there and to get this
(13:53):
training.
RR (13:54):
Before we went on the air, you were talking about some of
the things that uh the personnelhave to do, even to the height
of the people going out to getthat person off the helicopter.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (14:04):
Correct, correct.
We need to be aware that ifyou're one of those people
that's very tall in stature, youyou might be very aware that
there's some uh circling bladesand want to, of course, duck
down you know how you approachthe aircraft.
We're taught how to do that.
We have to have hearingprotection, so many different
(14:26):
things, um, down to the signalsthat the pilots and others will
give us when it's time toapproach the aircraft.
So um it is it is verydefinitely uh training with
safety in mind for everyone onboard the helicopter as well as
all of our ground personnel whoare running up to the helicopter
(14:48):
and extracting the patient.
RR (14:49):
We know that most people come in or a lot of the people
come into the hospital becauseof those Coast Guard
helicopters.
Do they take them out of theSamaritan or Pacific Communities
Hospital to the valley?
Dr. Lesley Ogden (15:02):
No, no, that then is our our other partner,
which is Lifelight.
Because once the Coast Guarddrops them with us, then we do
whatever care is appropriate.
And oftentimes if they'recoming to us, they need a lot of
care.
If they're they could behypothermic, they could, you
(15:24):
know, have um respiratorydistress, they can, you know,
just have a number of issuesassociated with exposure uh to
the outdoors, whether that bewater, whether that be forest
for too long.
So oftentimes they need uh ahigher level of care.
We'll stabilize them, but thenwe'll want to get them somewhere
(15:45):
else.
And of course, our partners,LifeFlight, they have flight
nurses that are trained inadvance life uh saving
capabilities, and we'll wantthem to go with the folks uh for
the remainder of theirtreatment, you know, time in
route.
RR (16:01):
From the time that the Coast Guard gets the person uh picked
up, beat it out of the water,the woods, whatever it would
happen to be, it is just amatter of minutes before they're
on your doorstep, right?
Dr. Lesley Ogden (16:14):
Correct, correct.
And that's their goal, andthat's our goal as well, to
minimize the time that theyspend with the Coast Guard
simply because the Coast Guarddoesn't have as many medical
personnel on board.
In fact, the majority arenon-medical, and so what we need
is we need to get our medicalpersonnel, you know, uh really
(16:36):
interacting with the patient andtreating them as quickly as
possible.
RR (16:39):
All the more reason for that helicopter to be positioned in
Newport.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (16:44):
Correct.
Absolutely.
You said it, Roger.
RR (16:47):
Absolutely.
I mean, it is criticallyimportant.
It's not a nicety, it's acritical item.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (16:55):
It is a matter of life and death.
RR (16:57):
Dr.
Leslie Ogden, SamaritanNorthleague Hospital, Pacific
Communities Hospital.
And again, the having thathelicopter in Newport is
critical.
The training that goes in withyour staff and the staff on
board that flight, again,critically important as well.
Dr. Lesley Ogden (17:15):
Critically important, and we hope to do it
again and again and again.

Up on the rooftop, click, click, clop, or something like
that.
We have Santa Claus on the roofand on the air.
Santa, how are ya?
Santa Claus (18:30):
Oh, Merry Christmas! I'm doing great.
It's been a busy, busy nightfor sure.
RR (18:38):
You you've already gone from New York to Chicago to North
Dakota, and now all the way outhere to uh Lincoln City, Oregon.
That's a lot of country tocover.
Santa Claus (18:47):
It is, and it's a long way to travel, but it's
worth it every year.
I love to do it, I tell you.
I've had some trouble with someof the chimneys though.
Mrs.
Collins is gonna have to dosome repair work when I get home
because uh I think maybe I'vehad too much milk and cookies if
that happens with the gym, youknow.
RR (19:08):
Is there too much milk and cookies?
Is that possible?
And does it uh keep you uh fituh to uh get going for the
following year?
Santa Claus (19:26):
Oh yes, we stay busy and preparation all the
rest of the time.
You get the reindeer to takecare of and gifts to be made and
presents to be prepared.
So it makes me before we canget the treatment before we get
back to the milking cookies.
RR (19:45):
I have no idea how you can possibly read all of those
letters, uh
Santa Claus (20:00):
Thousands of years ago.
And uh so I read every singleone of them, and I love all the
letters I get from all thechildren all over the world.
And I've also got some handlesthat help with translation work
as well.
RR (20:13):
I perhaps think because you go all the way around the world.
Santa Claus (20:17):
Absolutely.
Everyone gets a present fromSanta.
RR (20:21):
Is there a letter that stands out in Santa's mind uh
that you receive from littleJohnny or or sister Sue that uh
really beats at your heart?
Santa Claus (20:35):
Well, I like it when when I get a letter from
someone who's asking forsomething for someone else.
Oh I mean, of course, everylittle boy or girl wants their
present, wants their toy,whatever it is, or or they want
some kind of special music thingor some sort of device that
they can use on their computersnowadays.
(20:57):
But especially when someonesays, Santa, will you please
help my next door neighbor or mygrandma or my friend or my
teacher?
That always tugs at myheartstrings.
RR (21:09):
That's gotta be just something that that you can take
home to the North Pole for anduntil you're ready to come again
next year.
Santa Claus (21:19):
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
People, this is a time of yearwhen people are looking at their
neighbors and wondering ifeverybody's okay, and they're
always trying to find a way tohelp other people out.
And that warms Santa's heart.
RR (21:34):
Has there been any favorite toys uh that uh you've had a lot
of requests for this year,Santa?
Is it uh dolls or trucks orwhat what's happening?
Santa Claus (21:46):
Well, most kids want some kind of a gift card.
RR (21:50):
Oh because then they can get whatever they want.
Huh.
Had not thought of that.
That's that's a little easierfor you to make.
Santa Claus (21:58):
You can fit a lot of gift cards into that bag of
mine.
RR (22:02):
It it saves a lot of wear and tear on Santa's arm.
Santa Claus (22:05):
That's right.
That's right.
All the up and down.
It uh saves a lot.
RR (22:10):
I know as you sit around uh the the area and in uh little
boys and girls come and get onyour knee, uh, they're always
wondering about Rudolph.
Santa Claus (22:21):
Yes, Rudolph has been hard at work.
I don't know how I would gethere.
You know, coming into towntonight, it was pretty cloudy up
there.
Uh and uh it's always foggyalong the coast here, I found
over the years.
So Santa really relies onRudolph to help us get through
that thick weather that youcan't see in.
RR (22:42):
Do you sing any special song when you're uh sailing across
the country at a gazillion milesan hour?
Santa Claus (22:52):
Oh, I love jingle bells.
Jingle bells, jingle.
Because you know, I have somejingle bells on my reindeer.
They have jingle bells, and andon the top of my hat,
oftentimes this is called shesews one of those little bells,
and so I love jingle bells.
It just makes my it makes mybelly bounce up and down like a
(23:12):
bowl full of jelly.
I laugh so hard whenever I singit.
RR (23:15):
Would you like to sing a couple of bars of jingle bells
for Santa?
Jingle bells, jingle bells,jingle all the way.
Santa Claus (23:24):
Oh, what fun it is to ride in Santa Claus and say,
hey, jingle bells, jingle bells.
I can't stop laughing when Ising it.
RR (23:38):
I uh I'm having a tough time, Santa, looking across the
table at Son Paul and producingthis show because he's really
enjoying hearing from Santa.
Santa Claus (23:48):
Well, Paul has grown up to be a fine man.
I remember when he was just alittle shaver asking for a
football for Christmas.
RR (23:58):
Yeah.
That was a number of years ago,Santa.
Santa Claus (24:02):
That's been a while.
RR (24:05):
Well, anything else that uh you want to impart to all the

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
