which our tribal governments
work to build a future for our
children.

On Patrol
by Starla Green
Community Policing Officer
When I asked the officers if there
was anything of interest that should
be published in the newspaper, they
commented that it was a "pretty nor
mal" month. "Pretty normal" mean
ing that we have grown so used to
chasing down and arresting the juve
nile offenders of our community be
cause they're out of control and in
toxicated andor high or they're in
volved in something illegal. It was
pretty normal for the police officers
to arrest andor take into protective
custody your family members for
being intoxicated in public or un
wanted at your residence because he
she just assaulted you or your family
members.
Our officers responded to several
hundred calls during the month, deal
ing with anything from civil disputes,
vehicle crashes andor restraining
order violations to reported child
neglect cases. There were over 300
case numbers issued, where an offi
cer had to submit a report for records.
Unfortunately, 45 percent of those
were juvenile related. The patrol of
ficers arrested andor took into pro
tective custody about 1 13 adult indi
viduals for detoxification. Twenty
percent of the juvenile cases were
alcohol related, where the juvenile
was taken into custody for being in
toxicated. In many incidents, the same
juvenile was arrested two or three
times in the same month for being
intoxicated, even after they were re
leased to their parents or guardian.
The Police Department received
21 runaway reports from parents or
guardians. In many instances, when
that juvenile subject was picked up
for protective custody, they were in
toxicated. Of these 21 reports, eight
of the juvenile subjects had been on
runaway status repetitively.
In speaking of our children, our
tribal leaders and several community

Mt. View Hospital hires Johnson
Carol L. Johnson has been se- phase. In addition, I've enjoyed ex-
lected to serve as interim Chief Ex
ecutive Officer for Mountain View
Hospital, effective May 1 ,
Mr. Johnson brings 30 years of
health care mangement experience
to the District, serving 18 of those
years in Hospital Administration. She
comes to Madras from Bottle, Wash
ington which lies just Northeast of
Seattle. Mrs. Johnson is a graduate of
Seattle University with a Bachelor of
Science degree in Medical Records
Science, and received her MBA from
the University of Washington.
Mrs. Johnson has served as in
terim CEO in places such as: New
Hampshire, Texas, California, Mis
souri and now Oregon. She enjoys
interim work and views it as a great
opportunity to serve her profession
without having to relocate.
"I find this type of work very
rewarding, as it allows me to hospi
tals progress during a transition
picked up trash in honor of Earth Day,
members and parents tell us that our
children are our number-one priority
or least should be. Then, why is it our
children are being allowed to run
loose and out of control during all
hours of the night? Why are they
being left alone at home to fend for
themselves? Should a 10-year-old be
left with the responsibilities of feed
ing and caring for a three-year-old
because mom is passed out or hung
over from the prior evening's activi
ties? Our officers and investigators re
ceive several complaints regarding
child neglect cases, or we find them
when we contact a residence. Over
20 new cases were opened in the
month of April for child neglect. This
figure does not include the previous
and on-going cases from prior
months. The major case load of the
investigations division is predomi
nately regarding our Indian children
and their welfare. The detectives have
to do the investigations and follow
up on children and do not have enough
hours to spend on other areas. This is
because our tribal leaders are telling
us that our children are our number
one priority, but I have to ask, "Where
are the parents tothesechildren?Are
they your priority?" If the parents
made their children their number
one priority, then maybe the case
load of investigations would decrease
and they would be able to spend
more time investigating other cases.
Somewhere between the shots
fired, fight-in-progress, warrants,
detox's, runaways, MVA's DUII's
and prank calls, the patrol officers
have to try to find time to do follow
up on your breaking and entering
theft cases. If an officer gets one
large case, he has to dedicate his time
to that, so it won't be lost in court.
A step to take to help prevent your
residence from falling victim to van
dals and thieves, is take the responsi
bility to do the basic home security

son. Some of Mrs. Johnson's hobbies
include alpine skiing and exercise,
as well as golf and fly-fishing, two of
her most recent recreation endeav
ors. Tom Kirsch, Board Chair for
Mountain View Hospital District says
of Johnson: "We are fortunate to
have an opportunity to work with a
professional as qualified as Carol
during this time of change. Carol's
presence here will allow time for the
Board to review all of it's manage

coupled with excellent staff, will pro

provisions. Mark and inventory your
items, take the extra steps to ensure
your home is secure, get involved
and start a community neighborhood
watch program. Each month, our of
ficers take an average of 1 5 reports of
stolen items. Unfortunately, things
go unrecovered because we have no
way of identifying the items.
Near the end of April, two of our
officers responded to a residence on
Tommie Street to remove some in
toxicated individuals. A few days
prior, the minor children of the resi
dence were removed because of the
neglect and use of alcohol and drugs
of the mother. While removing the
subjects from the residence, some
illegal narcotics were located so a
search warrant was sought. During
the execution of the search warrant, a
very large quantity of illegal narcot
ics, and items to sell narcotics, were
located and seized. Six people who
were related to that residence were
charged with NDDHD (Sale, Use,
Possession), child neglect and reck
less endangering with a total bail of
$2,500. One of the subjects found in
the residence was an adult Hispanic
male with a state-wide warrant. Be
cause of this particular incident, that
subject has been returned to a state
correctional facility.
Our officers and Detectives are
putting in several hours on their case
loads. They spend each day dealing
with people that you try to avoid,
because of their actions and choice
of lifestyle. A day does not go by,
that we don't get threatened or spit
on or verbally abused. And, mind
you, these people that give the threats
are sometimes leaders of this com
munity. Isn't it about time to take
back your community and take the
responsibility upon yourself instead
of having someone else take care of
your problems? Isn't it time for a
change?
