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.
If you don’t want to be an
hour early to work Monday,
October 30, you had better not
forget to turn your clocks back
on Sunday -the 29th. We go off
Daylight Savings Time Sunday
at midnight on the 29th, and gain
back that hour we lost this
summer.
If your clock says 2 a .m., just
turn it back to 1 a.m. and enjoy
the extra hour of sleep you’re
going to get.
Halloween Time Again
Halloween will be observed
Tuesday, October 31 in Warm
Springs. Trick or Treating will
be from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Other evening activities will
be held at the Community Center
which include a carnival, haun-
ted house, movies and contests.
Any fund-raising groups are
welcome to set up booths and
should contact the Community
Center for more information. All
of the activities at the Commu
nity Center will be from 6:30 to
8:00 p.m.
Three Awarded Far Performance At I.H.S.
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.
