having eaten at one of the
resort restaurants. 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. He holds a bachelor’s
degree and a master’s degree in
environmental and Occupa
tional Health.

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.
At times there have been
incidents where visitors to Kah-
N e e -T a have c a lle d in
complaining of illness after
