COURTESY PHOTO I Siuslaw News + n a brief ceremony, KXCR board member Stuart Henderson presented Siuslaw Public Library Director Meg Spencer with a copy of the documentary film feature “Shadows of Liberty.” The acclaimed film was shown as part of “Free Speech Weekend,” organized by Florence’s only non-commer- cial, educational radio station, Learn ways to prepare fish at STEP meeting An opportunity to learn new ways to prepare the fish that are caught locally will be shared at the Wednesday, Feb. 4 meeting of the Florence Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program (STEP). The group meets at 7 p.m. at the Elks’ Lodge in Florence, and the public is invited to attend. Mark Stephens, a longtime chef currently working as lead cook at Three Rivers Casino, will share some of his tech- niques and recipes with the group. Stephens has worked previ- ously as a saute cook at 13 Coins Restaurant in Seattle and at Planet Hollywood. He plans to bring recipes for dif- ferent species caught on the Oregon coast, including salmon, steelhead, trout, rock fish, ling cod and halibut. Prior to Stephens’ talk, the club will hold a short business meeting. Reports on the activ- ities at the Whittaker Trap will be shared. Since the trap was opened in early January, the group has counted 355 steel- head coming through the trap. Volunteers have live- spawned 19 pair of steelhead, resulting in nearly 60,000 eggs that have been fertilized and in trays at the hatchery in Florence and in Alsea. The 10,000 coho eggs that were collected from four pair of coho in December, have been hatched out and are near- ly ready to be moved from the hatchery trays into the outdoor rearing tanks at the club’s hatchery site. STEP has as its mission to return fish populations to his- toric levels. Volunteers work with steelhead broodstock pro- gram, restoration projects, education work with elemen- tary and seventh grader stu- dents. Anyone interested in learn- ing more about the program is invited to attend the meeting or contact club president Ron Caputo at 541-997-4961. The weekend of events cul- minated with a showing of “Shadows of Liberty,” spon- sored and hosted by KXCR in the library’s Bromley Room. The documentary’s message is about how government and corporate media work hand in hand to shape important nation- al stories, often obscuring uncomfortable truths. The film is now available for library patrons to check out and view. “I am so appreciative when- ever patrons and organizations choose to donate to the library,” said Spencer. “Thanks to dona- tions like this one from KXCR and Stuart Henderson, we are able to offer patrons fascinating documentaries that may not be easily accessible in any other way.” Do your part and volunteer today to help support these local non-proft organizations in our community!
