Shipps takes all the information and tries to track down the problem. Water in Warm Springs is another problem the sanitarian deals with. Before the new water reservoirs and filtration systems were installed pumping water from the Deschutes River domestic water ’ was drawn from the Warm Springs River and Shitike Creek. By researching clinic files Shipps found that intestinal related diseases increased when the water was muddy or ch lo rin e was n ot being dispensed properly. And even when there were no pronoun ced water problems the number of people with gastrointesti nal disease remained higher than norm al; W ith these discoveries the importance of installing the new filtration systems became of primary importance. O ther concerns in the community to Which Shipps is turning his attention are com m unity safety, anim al diseases, insect and rodent control and général sanitation. He will be putting much time in the future with making the community more conscious about safety in both homes and on the road. Shipps has worked as sanitarian for the Tribe since 1978.

July 4th activities being planned Marsha Shewczyk TYPESETTER ...................................Priscilla Squiemphen ' duties are as diversified as the many facets of the community itself. Among the duties of the Warm Springs sanitarian are in sp e c tio n of the m any buildings and facilities on the re se rv a tio n from school kitchens to local restaurants. At a recent visit to Kah- Nee-Ta resort, Shipps spent the morning examining ovens and storage rooms. He inspected refrigeration units for good seals m aking certain the temperature of the units stayed low enough to keen food from spoiling. He also looked at silverware for cleanliness. He inspected the entire facility making sure it was suitable for serving food. In his inspection of all r e s ta u r a n ts a n d k itc h e n facilities Shipps looks, also, at safety factors such as lighting and wiring. Personnel are also scrutinized for appearance. Shipps uses U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture guidelines as the standards to be met in the r e s e r v a t i o n ’s f a c ilitie s . Ordinance 54, the sanitation code, uses these guidelines and Shipps goes by this Tribal Council approved code to make inspections. Any major problem in san itatio n is r e p o r te d to C o m m u n ity Services manager Ed Manion. After the routine inspection at the commuity buildings Shipps fills out a check list. Managers of the facility then try to get the items checked out and corrected. A follow-up occurs for serious matters.
