Rosa Wallula turn, a thirteen
year-old who clearly cares about
doing her best, sparkles both
academically and athletically.
An honor student, she recently
received awards as an outstand
ing athlete in two sports —
basketball and volleyball.
The Madras Junior High
School eighth grader is describ
ed in glowing terms by her
teachers and coaches. Rosa ex
cels in her studies and is be
lieved to be the first student
from Warm Springs to make the
Grand Honor Roll in the last five
years, according to counselor
Doyle Whipple.
The Grand Honor Roll or
Top Scholars classification is for
those who achieve a 3.61 to 4.0
GPA. Rosa’s grades for the first
quarter of this school year
^qualified her for this academic
monor.
But she doesn’t spend all of
her time with her nose in a book.

and timing with a good deal of
[sports-savvy j Rosa is as talented
Ion the court as she is in the
Eclassroom.
“She’s probably the best
volleyball player I’ve ever
coached,” said Stan Williams.
¿“She has a nice, soft touch, with
the ball, good balance and coor
dination, and she’s a good ser
ver, and she plays with lots of
determination.”
| “She’s a nice gal, too,” he
continued. Williams noted that
several of her teachers have re
marked that Rosa is very help
ful and dependable in class. “If
they give her something to do, it
always gets done.”
Rosa’s dependability criss
-crosses, touching all facets of
her life. From babysitting to
basketball (her favorite sport),
Rosa can be counted upon to do
her best.
“I thought she did a really
nice job for us,” said Rosa’s
basketball coach Dave Jordan.
He described her as a steady
player, both offensively and de
fensively.
“She’s-a good outside shot,
an excellent ball handler, and
she anticipates real well,” he
added. Jordan said Rosa is a
good all-around player and that
she controls the tempo of the
game as unofficial team leader.
“The other girls sort of look to
Rosa for direction,” he com
mented.

BPA Fishery Projects
Approved For 1979
(FROM THE
COLUMBIA
RIVER INTER-TRIBAL FISH
COMMISSION NEWSLETTER
VOL. I NO. 1)
Eight proposals to be finan
ced during fiscal year 1979 by
Bonneville Power Administra
tion (BPA) were approved De
cember 14,1977 by the Columbia
River Fisheries Council.
The projects will be re
viewed by BPA prior to being
included in the agency’s budget.
They are expected to cost about
$1 million.
K. The BPA budget is reviewed
and approved by Congress be
fore the fiscal year begins Octo
ber 1, 1978.
I Included in the proposals is
a joint project of the Columbia
River Inter-Tribal Fish Com
mission and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service for $104,500 to
continue hatchery facilities stu
dies on three Indian reserva
tions. The studies to be started
in the spring using fiscal year
1978 funds, will be conducted on
the Umatilla, Yakima and Nez
Perce reservations.
Other proposals for fiscal
year 1979 include:
— an evaluation of the
contribution of Chinook salmon
reared at Columbia River hat
cheries to the Pacific Ocean
salmon fisheries;
— a study of the effects of
power peaking on fall Chinook
egg incubation and hatching;
— a genetic identification
study using a new technique for
stock identification; and
— a study to determine
upstream migration habits of
transported fish.
Funds for these projects are
the result of the Memorandum
of Understanding signed by the
BPA, the four Columbia River
Treaty Tribes and the states
early in 1977.
The BPA made it clear that
these funds would not be used
for projects that would duplicate
efforts already being made in
fishery enhancement. Their
focus is on short-term projects.
Members of the Warm
Springs, Yakima, Umatilla and
Nez Perce Tribes sit on the
Steering Committee for the Col
umbia River Fisheries Council,
which oversees the spending of
these monies.
