Spíiygy Tymoo, W^rrn Springs, Oregon P^ge 5 A p ril 20, 2011 SMILE Club focuses on fisheries T h e SM ILE Club at Warm Springs Elementary School last week hosted a visit from the W arm Springs N atural R e sources Branch. Natural Resources fisheries biologist Lisa Dubisar brought a steelhead to the class, and the students made pressings of the fish. Later, they dissected it. The steelhead came from the Warm Springs N ational Fish Hatchery, but was not native to the river, so the hatchery work ers removed the fish. To m ake the p ressin gs, Dubisar painted the steelhead with tempera paint and the stu dents then pressed paper against the fish, taking the impression. This was a way to learn fish anatomy, such as the names of the different fins and what each fin is used for. The fish uses its nose for smelling, and its gills for breath ing, Dubisar explained. Salmon and steelhead are able to find their native river by sense of smell, she said. In some cases, such as with the steelhead she used for the demonstration, a fish accidentally ends up in a dif ferent river. Taking impressions of a fish on paper is originally a Japanese technique, Dubisar said. Before there were cameras, the fisher men would take impressions to record the size of their fish. The SMILE Club students also u sed an in te ra c tiv e internet program that simulates the dissection o f a fish. For this, they use the classroom Smart Board, which reacts to directions given by the students on the board. SMILE stands for Science, Math Interactive Learning Ex perience. Teachers for the class at last w eek’s dem onstration were Sarah Bennett and Cora Flores. — ilïî i . ? Wasco Chief meeting postponed The Wasco Chief proto col m eeting scheduled for this week has been postponed until Tuesday, April 26. “Historically, this position was passed on through fami lies,” Mike Clements, who is serving as the moderator of the meetings, said. “But even today, that’s difficult to do because so many of us are related.” A list of requirements in the next Wasco chief has been posted at several loca tions around the community. No felonies are allowed, as required by the tribal con stitution. The next Wasco Chief must have a thorough knowledge of the Wasco cul ture and traditions. Nominees must speak or be willing to learn the Wasco language. They m ust be knowledgeable in regards to the Treaty of 1855 and other major documents. Candidates m ust be in good health and have the energy to carry out the re sponsibilities of a chief. They must have the abil ity to express themselves well in public. Candidates must also have the ability to rep resent the Wasco people. Business knowledge is a re quirement. And those nomi nated must be Wasco, and an enrolled member of the Con federated Tribes of Warm Springs. “We hope that the out come of the meeting will be a slate of names that we can bring to tribal council to be gin the election process.” Dave McMechan/Spilyay Lisa Dubisar from Warm Springs Natural Resources and student Meleah Clements make a fish pressing.
