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.

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. He travels to Chemawa
Indian School to meet with the
safety committee and makes recom
mendations where needed.
His position is under the Envir
onmental Health Division, which
is working to make the environ
ment safer and easier to live in.
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".

Gilbert enjoys life each day by being busy at her job and outside
activities.
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.

Affairs in Boise, Idaho, displays a Warm Springs Interagency Hotshot
emblem to be mounted at the Boise Interagency Fire Center. This Center
is responsible for supplying and directing major wildfire operations
throughout the United States. The Warm Springs emblem will be dis
