Newspaper Page TextSpilyayTymoo Warm Springs, Oregon February 3, 1995 7 Spring Chinook forcast dismal; tribal fishery threatened ECE activities scheduled P:rlv PhihlhnnH Pfliimlmn uill timt twill holn tull Qnrvivc viuill by Carol Craig Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission A record low number of spring Chinook salmon will be entering the Columbia River, according to Co lumbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Com mission and tribal biologists. The project 1995 run is expected to be about 70,000 at the river mouth. Of those, only 1 2,000 are expected to pass Bonneville Dam. From that number, 3,480 are calculated to be from the Snake River and 1,278 of those are wild. There is no formula in the Colum bia River Fish Management Plan (CRFMP) to allocate such low num bers of fish. The plan calls for a tribal harvest rate of five percent on runs between 25,000 and 50,000. That would mean the four tribes would have a mere 600 fish to allo cate for ceremonial and subsistence fishing. That allocation would then be divided between platform fishing and ceremonial and subsistence gillnet fishing. In recent years the platform fish ing averaged 1 .86 percent of the run. With a 12,000 run size, that would mean 233 fish for platforms and 377 left for the gillnet ceremonial and subsistence fishing. Tribal fishers are allowed to use gillnets during ceremonial and sub sistence fishing through authoriza tion by their fish and wildlife com mittees and by the Longhouse they are providing fish for. "In such cases like US v Oregon, the tribes separated the status of fish ing commercial from ceremonial from subsistence. More and more as we influence ourselves with the commercial justification for the treaty right to fish, we're going against what we stood for all these years and that is the reserved right to take that fish," said Jerry Meninick, Chair man of the Yakama Nation. the dwindling numbers offish will be the justification for tribes to con tinue fishing, according to Meninick. "In a way, it's a blessing that we still have that reserved right. We know we can fish for ceremonial and sub sistence purposes and that's what is important to us," he said. Under the CRFMP, the four tribes are entitled to 10,000 spring and summer chinook for ceremonial and subsistence purposes. The majority of the 9,400 remaining spring Chi nook will have to come from hatch eries on the Willamette and Cowlitz rivers. Other salmon species within the Columbia River basin may also be used. "The prediction for this year's return of upriver 12,000 spring Chi nook will have a devastating impact on tribal culture," said Nathan Jim from the Warm Springs on-reserva-tion Fish and Wildlife committee. "The tribes see further delay, de bate and indecision. The end result is that the fish are still not rebuilding. ...Our tribal history has shown that treaty Indian harvest re strictions alone will not rebuild natu ral runs. Yet fisheries have been targeted for restrictions while in all other areas there has been very little change to benefit salmon. These outrageous conditions continue while salmon runs decline," he said. "Where's the management leader ship?" he asked. Last year, the states had a difficult time reaching the 10,000 fish quota to the tribes. With this year's run even smaller, the tribes could expect a similar situation. Treaty commercial season adopted On Friday, January 27, the Compact state of Oregon and Washington adopted the following Zone 6 treaty Indian commercial fishing periods for the winter season: Noon Wednesday, February 1 to noon Saturday, February 4 Noon Monday, February 6 to noon Saturday, February ll Noon Monday, February 13 to noon Saturday, February 18 Noon Monday, February 20 to noon Saturday, February 25 Noon Monday, February 27 to noon Saturday, March 4 Noon Monday, March 6 to noon Saturday, March 11 Noon Monday, March 13 to noon Saturday, March 18 Area: Zone 6 (Bonneville, The Dalles and, John Day pools.)

All other regulations remain un changed for 1995 (sanctuaries, delivery in-the-round,) etc. Sturgeon Setline Fishery: The January treaty Indian commercial setline fishery was set to close as scheduled at noon January 31. If the sturgeon commercial catch guideline of 1,650 fish is not exceeded in the winter season fishery, the sturgeon setline fishery may be re-opened at a later date.

Simnasho School-continued from page 3 then goes to the Warm Springs Elementary to pick up lunch and the next morning breakfast, and fuels up the bus. He prepares lunch which he and Nancy Tailfeathers serves to the children. Many have probably wondered how the classroom is taught, children being grades kindergarten through fourth grade. Well, the classroom is taught all together and they study subjects in units. For instance they are currently studying the solar system and space, they do their math, science, writing all in one theme, which is space. The children benefit from it by learning at all levels. If they don't remember something at their grade level they can pick it up quickly by listening to what's being taught to the lower grades. If they are advanced enough to move a step ahead, they can. Learning is more relaxed and flexible for the children. They have completed units on Bears, and Johnny Appleseed since last year. Simnasho students go on field trips and have guest speakers at their school, just like Warm Springs Elementary School. Smokey Bear comes out to visit, and so does Fireman Bob. They come to Warm Springs Elementary once a month for the awards assembly. Their field trips for the last year were to the Fish Hatchery, where they saw the growth cycle of the wild salmon. They've gone to Kah-Nee-Ta and learned water safety, how to save somebody and to save themselves. They have gone to HeHe Butte, and Stevenson's Pond for their science field trips. Other projects they have worked on and completed are: stockings, potpourri, pilgrim hats and vests, lots of art and cooking special recipes. They intend to do projects in Indian history, legends and things, during the month of February. They also have one computer, that gets much use. Students "fight" over it, who gets more computer time. They would like more computer programs, as mentioned in their list of what they would like. The school does all that Warm Springs Elementary School does in their activities, all as one little happy family. They encourage anyone to go out to the school and visit, and maybe have lunch with them.

Leathernecks play in Springs On Saturday, January 28, young U.S. Marine recruits from Bend and Gresham I Commit to be the Best Parent I Can Be I will use one of the following communications tips every day for the next ten (10) days. Signature Communication Tips for Parents and Kids "You never listen to me" is a complaint heard as often from children as parents. Good communication helps children and parents to develop confidence, feelings of self-worth, and good relationships with others. Try these tips. Teach children to listen...gently touch a child before you talk...say their name. Speak n a quiet oicc.whisper sometimes so children have to listen. They like this. Look a child in the eyes so you can tell when they understand. Bend or sit down. Become the child's size. Practice listening and talking. Talk with your family about what you see on TV, hear on the radio or see at the park or store. (Talk with your children about school and their friends). Respect children and use a courteous tone of voice. If we talk to our children as we would our friends, our youngsters may be more likely to seek us out as confidants. Catch children and teens being good. Praise them for cooperating with you or their siblings, for doing those little things that are so easy to take for granted. Use door openers that invite children to say more about an incident or their feelings. "I see" "Oh" "Tell me more" "No kidding" "Mmm Hmm" "Really" "Say that again. I want to be sure I understand you." Praise builds a child's confidence and reinforces communication. Unkind words tear children down and teach them that they just aren't good enough. Children are never too old to be told they are loved. Saying "I love you" is important. Writing it in a note provides the child with a reminder that he can hold on to. , Give your undivided attention when yourchildren talk to you. Don't read, watch TV, fall asleep or make yourself busy with other tasks. Set aside special times for each of yourchildren. Move closer physically to your children, hold them. Share your positive feelings, often. , Don't say "You shouldn't feel, that way." It makes your children, believe their feelings are not important. Through your daily words and, actions, let them know each is very-special. enrichment activities such as tours to sites that many visitors to Washington do not see.
