SALMON from A1

“This project is a way to begin the process of quantifying what was lost and what changes occurred.” Only ive of the eight lineages Johnson found continue in modern Chinook salmon populations of the Columbia River. One of the missing lineages is no longer present within the Columbia but “has been found in Oregon and California,” said Johnson. Two of the ancient lineages appear to be extinct. Further, 87% of the modern salmon belong to a single lineage, whereas in the ancient salmon mtDNA an equal distribution of salmon was seen across each lineage. The modern comparisons were from salmon harvested in the Entiat River, Icicle Creek, Methow River, Wenatchee River and Carson/ Leavenworth Broodstock. Councilmember Andy Joseph, Jr. thanked Johnson for her research and told a story of returning salmon bones to the river; “Those are our elders,” said Joseph. Brooks pointed toward the grant and funding opportunities in which the research may prove beneicial.

On a defensive play, Ena crushed the ball carrier and out came the yellow lag.

WSU Keller youth practice generosity through decorating cookies and making gifts for their families. Keller Community Gets Creaive

(December 2013) The Keller Community came together, to provide fun and festive opportunities for youth to explore creativity and generosity during the Christmas season. Coordinated and organized by Colville Reservation WSU Extension, local volunteer mentors provided guidance and instruction for youth to create ive different gifts for their family members. There was even a gift wrapping station where the youth could wrap the items that they had created. Fourteen youth participated all day, creating all ive gifts, while several other youth stayed for a short time and were able to complete at least one of the gift items. This was a free event for local youth. Through a grant from Ofice of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), Colville Reservation WSU Extension partnered with CCT TANF/Attendance program, Keller Community Center, Keller Community Club and many local volunteers to provide a day of “gift making”. Items made included: tied yarn scarf, bead necklace, decorated travel mug, fabric pillowcase and decorated cookies. Funding for this event came from the OJJDP grant along with many local donations of supplies and materials. The objective of the OJJDP grant is to assist reservation communities in providing adult to youth mentoring programs. The goal is to provide positive youth development through 4-H programs that encourage the Four Essential Elements: Belonging, Independence, Generosity and Mastery. Studies show that all youth need the Four Essential Elements to be successful. If you would like more information on 4-H or the OJJDP grant or how you can start a 4-H club in your area, please contact Linda McLean, Colville Reservation-Ferry County Extension Educator, (509) 634-2305 or [email protected] .

Basketball … is it a sport or is it a life style? For the Jr. High Basketball boys it’s a true life style. I interviewed Ben England, the coach, on Dec. 11, 2013 and these were some of his words. With as many boys as he had all of them worked very hard. All of them worked as hard as they could individually. As a team overall they progressed incredibly. When they played weaker teams they would generally play with one of the starters and the rest non- starters. The starter that they had was very good with the non-starters. They didn’t just take the game over but made sure everybody got a chance to score. The starter would normally rebound the ball and pass it to all the other kids who hadn’t scored yet. I had asked him, “As the coach, what did you think the season was going to be and what was the outcome?” He responded, “I had no idea what the season was going to be like. I thought Nespelem was going to be a challenge because it was another rez school and generally rez Inchelium School schools play harder against each other. The outcome was The 2013 Inchelium Hornet junior high basketball team. very successful; we came out as an undefeated team and a very strong team.” Here is a roster for the 2013 Jr. High basketball team and one or more good things the coach has said about #12 Keith Ford – Can be a great player when he wants #33 Garrett Seyler – Most improved them: to be and one of the best rebounders for his size #11 Malaki Fry – Most improved #10 Stan Sandvig – Physically gifted, hard-worker #3 Jacob Flett – Gifted, talented, hard-worker and a #22 Adam Signor – One of returning players and with and a team player team player experience he will be a good player for next year #1 Kobe Seymour – Most complete skill set in Jr. High #13 Blade LeaderCharge – Would get the coaches #20 Robert McKinney – Mature loor captain next year player award for being best listener and will be a good point guard #34 Skyler Stensgar – Team player and a coach on the #32 Brenton Swan – Role player and team player #5 Mark Mason, Jr. – Most improved and a blast to court #30 Isaiah Seymour ‘Boo’ – Super-duper point guard have on the team.
