UNIVERSITY MICROFILMS PREFACE Difficulties become apparent in the historical compilation of this single categorical concept of educa­ tion when one considers the multi-faceted educational elements of specialization which are germane to each occupational area. Problems of gathering early voca­ tional trade and industrial research materials have been magnified as a result of incomplete or missing records because of carelessness, deaths and personnel turnover. This writer has been made aware of the fact that authen­ ticated historical documentation is extremely important to all educational areas, if for no other reason than that it creates a solid foundation upon which one may project or build toward the future. Those of us in vocational education submit that this type of education builds a bridge to a more meaning­ ful future heretofore reserved only for those with pro­ fessional aspirations. We, in turn, contend that voca­ tional education is an answer to the complex ramifica­ tions which have evolved from increased patterns of world-wide technological changes and population growth never experienced by any previous culture.

    National Wild Fish Health Survey California-Nevada Fish Health Center Annual Report for fiscal year 2005 National Wild Fish Health Survey Annual Progress Report FY 2005 Prepared by Lyn Rosten and Kimberly True California-Nevada Fish Health Center Center staff conducted the National Wild Fish Health Survey (NWFHS) in the 2004/2005 fiscal year by collecting fish tissue samples and performing laboratory tests for major fish pathogens in accordance with standardized procedures (NWFHS Laboratory Procedures Manual – 2005, ). This data is entered into a national database and is accessible to the public and resource managers, via the web, and can be viewed at: http://wildfishsurvey.fws.gov/ or http://www.esg.montana.edu/nfhdb/ Kimberly True, Assistant Project Leader Lyn Rosten, Biological Science Technician Eric Wiseman, Fishery Biologist Ken Nichols, Fishery Biologist Scott Foott, Project leader Ron Stone, Fishery Biologist Also assisted with field collections and lab work. 2 Abstract The National Wild Fish Survey (NWFHS), conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Fish Health Centers, assesses the prevalence and distribution of major fish pathogens in wild fish populations. In 2004-2005, the California-Nevada Fish Health Center (Ca-Nv FHC) focused on disease monitoring in the upper Klamath River basin. Pathogens associated with diseased fish in the Klamath River include bacteria (Flavobacterium columnare and motile aeromonad bacteria), digenetic trematode (presumptive Nanophyetus salmincola) and myxozoan parasites (Parvicapsula minibicornis and Ceratomyxa shasta). The incidence of two parasites Ceratomyxa shasta and Parvicapsula minibicornis in juvenile chinook salmon is of special concern. Another focus in 2004-2005 was done in collaboration with Nevada Division of Wildlife’s regional biologists.

  • The Achomawi from the North American Indian Volume 13
    From the World Wisdom online library: www.worldwisdom.com/public/library/default.aspx THE ACHOMAWI THE Pit River Indians, classified by Powell as the Palaihnihan lin- guistic family, but shown by Dixon to be a branch of a large family that includes also the Shasta tribes, fall into two sharply differentiated divisions, the Achomawi and the Atsugewi, with languages mutually unintelligible. Powell derived his designation from the Klamath word Palaikni, signifying “mountain-dwellers”; and Achómawi (incorrectly accented on the penult) is their self-name, signifying “river-dwellers.” The present-day Klamath are unacquainted with the appellation Palai- kni, and know the Achomawi as Móatwas, “southerners.” With the exception of Hat Creek and Dixie valleys, the Achoma- wi occupied the drainage area of Pit river from a few miles below Round mountain up into the south end of Goose Lake valley, about twenty miles above Alturas. This territory is about one hundred and twenty-five miles in length, measuring on a straight line, or probably one hundred and seventy-five as the river flows, and lies in the counties of Shasta, Lassen, and Modoc. The Atsugewi, or Hat Creek Indians, held the watershed of Hat creek and Dixie valley in Shasta county.1 The Achomawi bands of Modoc county eked out a precarious exist- ence on the scanty fare obtainable in their semi-arid habitat, and as a consequence were very inferior physically to their more happily situ- ated congeners on the lower stretches of Pit river. The neighbors of the Achomawi were the Modoc and Klamath on the north, the Shasta to the northwest, the Wintun westward, the Yana on the southwest, the Maidu on the south, and the Paiute eastward.
