Santa Rosa, CA. ~ Broadcast- ing live from Coos Bay, Oregon on KWRO is another world in itself. A few days earlier I had just fi nished the February is- sue of this paper and my good friend, Cam Parry of Coos Bay invites me to co-host his show again. T is was my fourth time and it’s a whole lot of fun and feels natural. T e whole other world part is all the people I met who came to the studio. Pretty much the entire group of individuals were involved with something that had to do with the great outdoors. It was great! A few days later, I found


myself sitting on an executive board meeting


located two


hours north-east of Coos Bay at the Oregon Hatchery Research Center.


It is a state of the art


research facility that provides a place for scientists to study na- tive fi sh recovery and hatchery programs. Present at the four


hour meeting were executives, government offi cials and vol- unteers that were there to dis- cuss STEP Education Strategy, a kind Common Core Standards of education program, but de- signed for Oregon schools. But this had a outdoors twist.


Pretty much all schools in Or- egon have integrated fi sh edu- cation requirement that spans from grades k-12. Its pretty cool actually. From Eggs to Fry they call it,(life cycle) of wild and hatchery born fi sh. Classrooms


across Oregon


get aquariums and with about a hundred fi sh eggs from the Hatchery. T ey raise them until they are Fry, basically, a min- now. And, the funny part was in my naïvety, I though ‘From Fish to Fry ‘ meant they teach them to grow them and then they fry them up! I guess in re- ality that eventually happens of course.


www.hookedonoregon.net T e incredible part is that it


gives the kids a fantastic educa- tion about the great outdoors and how a fi sh lives, grows and travels through its entire life cy- cle. For Oregonians, it is ‘A Way of Life’. Fishing, hunting and re- spect for nature. Of course it’s a lot more than that, but it would take me a whole book to ex- plain it all. I’m starting a Pacifi c Northwest outdoors section of this paper. I was inspired and honored to be a part of a very important meeting and to be able to be a ‘radio guy’. It is an- other career I aspire to be a part of in the near future!


May this issue fi nd you well!

Santa Rosa, CA. ~ Wednesday, March 23, 2016 at 4:47 AM. During this penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth’s main shad- ow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth’s shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a pen- umbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears par- tially or totally eclipsed during this event. A penumbral lunar eclipse can be a bit hard to see, as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.
