"Funnerworks"
Each year thousands of peo
ple are injured by 4th of July
fireworks. Many of them weren't
being careless or horsing a
round. Something just went
wrong.
Now there's a way you can
protect your family from this
type of accident and still enjoy
the color, noise and fun of the
4th of July. Use Funnerworks
instead of fireworks.
Funnerworks are more like
toys than fireworks. They're safe,
there's nothing to light and
nothing explodes. Yet they have
bright glow-in-the-dark colors
and make the loud bangs kids
love.

We w clinic
on referendum
Thirty-five years ago the Warm
Springs clinic was a hospital. Over
the last three decades, use of the
facility has changed. It is no longer
a hospital, but a clinic in which
patients are seen on an out-patient
basis. The building was slightly
renovated, the last time in 1967, to
accomodate the changes and the
increased demand for out-patient
care. In seven years' time, out
patient visits increased 47.6 per
cent. The need for a new modern
clinic is obvious. The waiting room
is crowded to capacity and the
average waiting time is 45 minutes
to an hour.
The clinic has five exam rooms
and are "ill-suited for what they're
used for,"sayd Service Unit Direc
tor Lee Loomis. Some are larger
than necessary, some are too small.
Waiting times are directly related
to the number of exam rooms avail
able. Loomis likened health care at
the clinic to shopping at Safeway
the time it takes to shop depends
on the number of checkout stands
open. "Another physician wouldn't
help because of the building limita
tions." The Warm Springs clinic has
three full-time doctors on staff.
Each works 50 to 60 hours per
week including alternately making
rounds at the hospital twice a day.
Of the 105 IHS facilities in the
I HS system now, the Warm Springs
clinic is about one-third the way
down the priority list, says Loomis.
"Placement on the priority list was
determined by the square footage
of the facility, added Loomis. The
basement, where patients are not
treated, was included in the total as
were the large exam rooms.
"If we were to sit back and wait
for I HS, it would be years, possibly
well into the 21st century, before a
new facility would be built," Loo
mis said. The tribe has proposed to
build the new facility at no cost to
I HS. The I HS commitment includes
adequate staff and equipment.
Staff size will increase from 30 to
54 over the next two years. "The
new facility will provide a lot of
promise for the future and offer
tremendous opportunities for em
ployment" for local pepole, Loo
mis added.
Existing equipment status is
"good," says Loomis. However,
"with the larger building, we will
need new equipment that will add
to our capabilities. Estimated cost
of new equipment is close to $1
million.
I n conclusion, Loomis added that
he hopes the July 10 referendum
"passes because it will mean that
the mechanism that provides health
care will be enhanced.. ..If the ref
erendum fails, we will, continue to
provide the highest quality care
possible.. .We'll do the best we can
with the quantity."
