Book store off to a good start The WSE student book store has been a big draw so far. Book store hours have been expanded to accom modate students who do not have time to' go to the book store before school starts. The new hours for the book store are: Monday & Thursday 8 to 8:30 a.m.; 10 to 10:30 a.m. (during recess). Please remind your children not to bring the following items to school: remote control cars; pogo sticks; skates; skateboards; make-up, nail polish andor hair dyes. So many times students want to bring in items to show to their friends or teachers and these items may be damaged. Please remind them that this may happen and that is why we discourage bringing them to school. Help your child have a positive school experience. , It is not uncommon for a student to tell a teacher, educational assis tant, secretary etc. that they have been instructed not to play with a child that has headlice. Parents who are on top of this problem do not want their child continually exposed to children with chronic infestation of headlice. In some cases the stu dent shares these instructions with Answer to "Where do pets come from?" It is reported that the following version of the Book of Genesis was discovered with the Dead Sea Scrolls. If authentic, this would shed light on the question, "Where do pets come from?" And Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here, and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me." And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for your, so that you will know that I love you even when you cannot see me. Re gardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do-in spite of yourself." And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "But Lord, I 1 they read all the clues to find .5 Jw ww wn p ' t ' ; 'i 'I twice a week. 'k ' v - V " . ' Elementary news- the other child and friends. Like they ' say "children can sometimes say the crudest things". Please check your child's head at least weekly to help prevent headlice infestation and more importantly to save your child the embarrassment of being shunned by classmates and friends.

Parent Corner: Questions about Year-Round School? Parents, any time during the year that you have a question or concern about something that is happening with WSE, we'd like to know. Do you have any questions or concerns about the year-round school plan? If so, please take the time to fill out your question or concern on the form and return it to school. Don't forget to include a phone number andor address that Dawn Smith can reply to with the information you already named all the animals in the kingdom and all the good names are taken. I cannot think of a name for this new animal." And God said, "No problem! Be cause I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG." And Dog lived with Adam and was a good companion to him and loved him. And Adam was com forted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail. After a while it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has be come filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock, and he be lieves his is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no one taught him humil ity." And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The com panion will remind him of his limita tions, so he will know that he is not enjoyment in reading to kids For the Month of March, Spilyay features SMART readers Charlotte Shike and the Salmon Corps group for their dedication to the program. Charlotte Shike has been a reader for two years and enjoys getting out of her house and getting involved with the children. "It's fun reading to the smaller, first and second grade kids," says Shike. She looks forward to reading every Thursday afternoon and Tuesday if she is needed. She could see the students lacking in their reading skills when she attended a youth conference with the Education Committee. Students from the Middle School were having difficulty reading directions about what they were to do. She shared with the Education Committee the lack of reading skills of these children. In the Education Committee the issue of reading always comes up, The children often get pushed through without their reading skills and it hurts them. "My grandchildren are all grown and read on their own. Reading is something I enjoy sharing with the kids letting them know we care too." have requested. Spell it for me! Does , your child1 have trouble learning 'td spell? Next time heshfe" brings home a spelling list to study, try this: 1. Write each word on a separate piece of paper. 2. Let you child look at one work for only 15 seconds and spell it out loud. 3. Remove the paper and ask your child to close their eyes and try to "see" the word. 4. Have your child write the word from memory. 5. Let your child check the word with the one you've written. Tip: Ask your child to make a spelling list to keep on the fridge. Each day, have your child pick a troublesome word and work through the steps listed. Check off each work as it is learned. WSE School Mail Parents and community members are invited and encouraged to par ticipate in the WSE school mailpost office project. There is a mail drop box in the school office with a direc tory. This project is intended to give students a real-life experience writ ing letters, addressing envelopes and distributing mail throughout the school. Each classroom voted on a street and city name. This information was compiled into a school mail direc tory. The first mail delivery was Feb ruary 25th. Please stop by the office with let ters or cards that you would like delivered to students or staff. always worthy of adoration." And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility. And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved. And Cat did not care one way or the other. Happy Belated Birthday Marie Kalama Good Luck at State, congratulations on Honor Roll.

If you can't understand, raise your hand and ask for help." Shike says she asks the children if their mom or siblings read to them at home. The children usually say no. "Something I think about is, why our community service people don't come to the SMART Program to read the program could always use more readers." At the end of the year the children write comments thanking the readers. "That's a pay off for us. We did something for them," Shike concludes. Salmon Corps members began reading in November as a community service to the children. They decided to try it, they enjoyed it and look forward to reading twice a week. The Salmon Corps is a group of twelve employees and they take turns by groups to read. Their employment consists of mostly fencing and they do other jobs for the community. This week they will be at Rock Creek to help with the Elder Gathering. Salmon Corps members interviewed were Charlie Chce, Phillip Johns, Wayne Eagle Speaker and Phil George. They offered these comments: "Kids are getting better, I noticed a change." "We read to the same kids most of the time." "My little guy is doing pretty good, be reading to us pretty soon." "I read the same book about ten times." They hope that the program continues and more people join and read, like the parents should start getting involved. Sometimes they are scheduled to be somewhere else and don't always make it to the SMART Program. 1998 Lincoln Little Girl's Fancy & Tin?Ie (? 12 years 1st place-Js'hone Reid White Swan, WA; 2nd place-Rochelle Begay Celilo, OR; 3rd Place-Mariah Slickpoo Goldendale, WA Little Girl's Traditional 6-12 yean Shayla Frank Special 1st place-Sky Song Alexis, Calgary, Alberta Canada; 2nd place Farrelly n Bellanger, WSO; 3rd place-: Brandy Tobey, McDermitt, NV f Little Boy's Fancy & Grass 6-12 years 1st place-Atcitty Begay, WSO; 2nd place-Dakota Medera, Tacoma, WA; 3rd place-William Totos, Pilot Rock, OR ; Little Boy's Traditional 6-12 years 1 st place Marquis Leighton, Spo kane, WA; 2nd place-Buchanan Wallahee, Harrah, WA; 3rd place Owen Danzuka, Jr. WSO Teen Girl's Fancy & Jingle 13 16 years 1st place-Amelia Davis, WSO; 2nd place-Bridgette Eaglespeaker, Olympia, WA; 3rd place-Sarah Wallahee, Toppenish, WA Teen Girl's Traditional 13-16 years 1st place-Vickie Teeias Wesley; 2nd place Krista Rhoan, WSO; 3rd place-Liberty Cree, Wapato, WA Teen Bov's Fancy & Grass 13- 16 years 1 st place-Joe Foltz, Wapato, WA; 2nd place-John Moosomin, Maple Creek, Sask.

That decision will cut in half the Columbia River Inter Tribal Fisheries Enforcement pro gram. "We know that we have been very effective in deterring illegal fishing. In fact, all of our efforts are aimed at deterrence. A scientific evaluation of th's program shows that we have been very successful," said CRTTFE Captain John Johnson. Since BPA initiated partial sup port for the tribal program, Johnson noted that tribal fishing arrest have dropped over 60 percent, net sei zures by almost 60 percent and fish seizures by 50 percent This is an incorrect decision for several reasons," he said. He pointed out that the NPPC action in effect was an improper amendment of its Meeting schedule announced for Comp.

The law sets out a process that NPPC must follow before it can change its fish and wildlife program, and "the council simply ignored that process," Johnson pointed out. "BPA funded tribal law enforce ment as direct mitigation for the im- pact ofthehydrosystem upon salmon. The CRITFE enforcement is a mainstem program. Under the Bio logical Opinion, the enforcement is one of the many BPA funded mea sures recognized for saving fish. Right now the ball is in BPA's court, and it must decide whether to accept the Council's recommendation to ter minate a program it strongly sup ported," he said. Through some mysterious pro cess, the Council has determined that funding enforcement is inappropri ate. It has never explained to us why or how it arrived at such a conclu sion."

This isn't really about making hard decisions, as Mr. Etchart says. It's about the Council avoiding the truly hard decisions it must make by law. It's about creating a smokescreen to divert attention away from the Council's failure to con sider adopting its own scientific re port, Return to the River, as a frame work for its fish and wildlife plan." Lothrop added that NPPC's deci sion ripens an opportunity to exer cise a dispute resolution option con tained in the Memorandum of Agree ment on BPA's budget The council has made an ill-conceived decision. But at least they have made one. It looks as though this issue likely will be elevated to the Council on Envi ronmental quality and office of man agement and budget, the agencies charged with dispute resolution un der the BPA Budget Memorandum of Agreement" i
