PAGE 2 OCTOBER 20, 1978 Cards To Depict Old Ways PICTURE PERFECT - Manny Jim, son of Wilfred and Geraldine Jim, will appear on the new postcards recently ordered by the Confederated Tribes. The postcards will be 5”x7” in size and suitable for framing. Charles Jordan, of McGrew Color Graphics spent a week photographing different sights on the reservation. Priscilla Squiemphen Photo Life as it was 100 or more years ago will be depicted on new 5”x7” postcards to be sold by the Tribes in early March. The Confederated Tribes hired McGrew Color Graphics Compa ny of Kansas City, Missouri to make the postcards as well as placemats, slides and accordian postcard folders. Staff photographers have been in Warm Springs for a week, snapping pictures left and right of Tribal members wearing traditional dress. Faye Waheneka, manager of the Infor mation Center, was instrumental in finding different people willing to be photographed for the new promotional materials. Waheneka stated that she listed new postcards and other materials in her 1979 goals and objectives. “When the General Manager saw that I anticipated Completion by July 1979, he urged me to have the project done by March. We chose the historical approach to depict Warm Springs rather than modern-day because that’s what people like to see and buy,” she added. The new postcards and accessories will be for sale exclusively in the Gift Shops at Kah-Nee-Ta and the Information Center. So keep an eye open for those familiar and smiling faces next spring.

Not many Indian Health Service Clinics can boast of three employees winning special serv- • ice awards in one year. But the Warm Springs clinic has just that to its credit, as three women were recently commended for their superior performance. I.H.S. staff members Madeline Mclnturff, Delphine Wood, and Mary Neilson all rec eived $500 awards from the Department of Health and Wel fare for “servicte which merits special honor.” The awards are not regular competitive events, but are spe cial recognition offered on an individual basis at the discretion of the clihic director. Approval comes from the Area Director. Wood, a Licensed Practical Nurse, and Mclnturff, a Nursing Assistant, were cited for their efforts during the three-month absence of the Chief Clinical Nurse earlier this year. Neilson, Administrative Assistant for the clinic, was commended for sus tained job performance. Mclnturff doesn’t like to admit it, but she has been with the clinic for 29 years - longer than any other employee. Both her normal duties and the added nursing services have been carried out in a “superior fashion,” according to the sup porting statement, which went on to say that her “ability and responsible attitude contribute to the overall effectiveness of the Service Unit clinical operation.” This was Mclnturff’s second such award. Wood had practiced nursing at the clinic for only a year when the additional responsibilities were placed on her shoulders. In fulfilling the role of the clinical nurse she “assumed all those activities within her experience and scope of knowledge that she was capable of doing” thus “assuring uninterrupted nursing care for all patients seeking service.” “Delphine and Madeline ex tended themselves and got us over the hump,” said Health Educator Lee Loomis, Efforts to find a back-up clinical nurse had failed except for a two-week period in June when two nurses from Chemawa filled in. Neilson has performed ad ministrative duties at the clinic for eleven years. It is her job to oversee the contract health ser vice program, to fill in as Acting Service Unit Director in Garret Soules’ absence, to maintain accounting records, and to su pervise the six employees in the administrative department. Neilson was cited for making “effective use of third party resources in payment of medical bills” resulting in considerable savings to the Indian Health Service. It was also noted that in her personnel supervisory role Neil son has been a contributing factor in the low turnover rate and the staff’s ability to cope with ever-increasing workloads.
