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.”
