Several years of hard work has brought recognition to the Warm Springs Interagency Holshot Crew. Along with other nationally recog nized resource crews, the Warm Springs group will have its emblem displayed at (he Boise. Idaho I nter. agency Fire Center. A national resource crew is comprised of professional fire figh ters that arc available for assign ments anywhere in the United States. There are 58 Hot Shot crews, and they are all federally sponsored by cither the U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service., or Bureau of Indian Affairs. Three Hot Shot crews are sponsored by the the BIA: White River Fort Apache, Chief Mountain (Black feel) and Warm Springs. Appropriated federal money to maintain Hot Shot crew availabil ity is rough! ly $ 1 50.000 a year with the exception of Warm Springs. Warm Springs IHC has a unique status as a contract crew. All crew members are not federal employees but employees of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and tribal members. BIA budgets $15,000 annually for crew training. The remainder of the crew's budget is acquired through contracts with the BIA. USFS and Warm Springs Forest Products Industries. During interim periods between fire assignments, IHC contracts services for tree planting, forest hazard reduction work, tree im provement, prescribed burning, and other forestry related projects. These different skills and projects help them adapt to unusaual situa tions that occur on wildfires. Their employment period begins in March and ends the last day of November each year. As a contract crew with diverse job possibilities. Warm Springs IHC can train earlier in the year than other crews. This makes them a vailable for early season fires in the southeast and southwest United States. Already this year they have responded to two fire requests from the Bureau of Land Management near Roseburg, Oregon. During the 1 988 fire season they spent 1 304 days off-reservation on assignments (hut took them to most western slates and the first international dispatch to Cu nada.

"'!UI .fUft I 'J KJ i J n h ) Dauphinais has been employed with the Warm Springs Indian Health Service as the Service Unit Sanitarian since August 1988. Larry Dauphinais (Do-Fa-Nee), came to work at the Indian Health Service in Warm Springs during August, 1988. He is the Service Unit Sanitarian. His wife and two children had resided with him at the Navajo reservation the past three-and-a-half-years. Larry orig inally comes from the Turtle Mountain Indian reservation in North Dakota. His position keeps him busy and on the go. Larry works closely with the different departments throughout the reservation(s). His services are not only limited to the Warm Springs Indian reservation but covers other reservations in Oregon, excluding Umatilla.

Gilbert celebrates first year of "freedom" Janice Gilbert, a member ot the Confederated Tribes celebrated her first birthday being alcohol and drug free April 21, 1989. It has been a long road uphill with a lot of "potholes along the way" but Janice is adapting to the many positive changes in her life. She first came to work for Kah-Nee-Ta as a snack bar attendant in 1971, worked as a PBX operator in 1978 and a groundskeeper in 1986. She applied for Lodge front desk clerk and began work March 9, 1 987. Showing an interest in the hotel business, especially the front desk area, Janice was asked to enter a nine-month pre-entry training program during the winter season. Business is slow at Kah-Nee-Ta during the winter and an ideal time to train. Her training began November II, 1987. Besides working at the front desk: Janice was utilized and trained in other departments as well. The taining she received in these departments helped her to under stand how the front desk is the "heart" of all information for the resort. The training she received proved to be positive for her and a move in the right direction. Janice entered a treatment pro gram at Laurelhurst Manor on April 20, 1988 after she recognized her dependency on alcohol and drugs. Three short months follow ing her treatment, Janice became a supervisor trainee at the Village front desk. She is now a full-time employee and supervises five employees, all but one of whom are tribal members. Her long range goal was becoming the front desk manager but sees the many opportunities in the hotel business besides the front desk. At the present time, her hobby is working on the 25th anniversay of Kah-Nee-Ta Village, seeking his tory of the resort and all informa tion she can get. She likes to spend time with her family, go to AA meetings and Aftercare. She also gets involved in outings with the Active Single Friends from Bend. This position is a learning expe rience, teaching her to deal with people of all walks of life. To be able to deal with each situation one-day-at-a-time, Janice says its worth the sobriety and likes being "clean and serene". ija,iiu.!v. ... j...1-, u W4'.w 'j.iwm!".'.'wp'i111".-.11 '-V 'g' 'J'1"' 11 1 ! f ,- 4ww,jwm,: , " ijs, imi imi 4na mm -',-?''' -' ' - j--- j i ..4i, ; . .-r .

Larry works with hazardous waste, asbestos, radon (gas), water sewer age, rabies referrals and communi cable diseases. His priority is injury prevention and fatalities. He sur veys all food establishments in Warm Springs, water sewers and handles health and safety concerns. After reviewing problem areas, Larry makes recommendations to each department involved. He encourages child restraints and seat belts. Eventually he would like to see the tribe adopt a safety measure that would make wearing them mandatory. Larry likes working here but says it is a little bit isolated. The people are friendly and the tribe is good to work with. He is unde cided about the length of employ ment here in Warm Springs. His future goal is to move up in the Indian Health Service to a district position as the Injury Prevention Coordinator for three states. Governor encourages seat belt use A proclamation issued from the Office of the Governor encourages Oregon residents to use their safety belts. The use of belts saves lives and results "in improved health and well-being to all," the procla mation states. The proclamation reads in total: Whereas: Automobile crashes continue to be the number-one cause of pre ventable death involving Oregon's citizens, killing more than 400 and injuring more than 34,000 drivers and passengers each year; and Whereas: The correct use of safety belts and child safety seats could prevent as many as 50 percent of these deaths and 65 perccent of the injur ies; and Whereas: Unfortunately, only about 49 percent of Oregonians wear safety belts while traveling in a motor vehicle; and Whereas: All states now have occupant protection laws for young children, and Oregon requires that children under age 16 be protected when riding in a motor vehicle by using either a child safety seat or safety belt. Now, therefore, I, Neil Goldschmidt, Governor of the State of Oregon, hereby pro claim the month of May 1989 as Safety Belt Awareness Month in Oregon and encourage all citizens to increase their use of safety belts and child safety seats, which will save lives and result in improved health and well-being to all.
