Springtime JOYS and YouthApril 20, 2012 Saturday is the Basket weaving conference. The best part is the field trips to find how to locate some of the materials. I chickened out when Verna took us to places with poison oak but many hike far and wide for the materials to make these beautiful baskets that the Karuk people are famous for making. The theme is Vikaraha-Ipit, Itam-Imaan (basketry – yesterday, today, tomorrow) For further information contact Helene Rouvier at 493-1600. A few students at the High school went to training at Yosemite. Then there were more going to visit colleges like Berkeley as well as others where they may be interested in pursuing their education. Several came back from the last trip interested in small Dominion College. Now that the countdown to graduation is only about 36 school days things get pretty serious. Serious preparation is taking place for the Star testing right now.
