The chopper was in Warm Springs for about two hours last Tuesday. Blackhawk helicopter visits for EMS Week As pan of Emergency Medi cal Services Week a US. Army Blackhawk helicopter, used at times in emergency situations, flew into Warm Springs. The helicopter crew landed the air craft in the grassy field behind the Tire Department. Other activities during the week were a Jaws of Life ve hicle extraction demonstration by the Warm Springs EMS crew; and an open house at the fire hall. The EMS team also went around the community and provided blood pressure and sugar-level tests to people. And they asked for comments on how the fire and safety depart ment might better serve the community. The Warm Springs Eire and Safety Department employs 18 full-time and 14 part-time staff, stationed at the Agency fire hall and Simnasho. The employees are trained in fire-fighting, emergency medical response, and search and rescue. Dur ing EMS week, the arrival of the helicopter was probably the event that drew the most in terest. The helicopter is used during emergencies only when all other response resources in the region have been ex hausted, or during a particu larly difficult search and res cue, said Fire Chief Dan Martinez. The helicopter is sta tioned in Salem. It took the crew about an hour to fly to Warm Springs. The last time the helicopter was used during an actual medical emergency on the reservation was in 2001 , when a plane went down in the Simnasho area. Twenty -five years ago this week From the May 25, 1979, edition of the Spijay Tymoo. Voters okay Pelton project Tribal members voted to ap prove the funding for construc tion of a powerhouse at the Pelton Reregulating Dam by a margin of 83 percent at the May 15 referendum. The vote during the exceptionally good turnout was 383 yes, to 73 no. "This is an amazing testimony to the far-sightedness of the tribal members," said adminis trative branch manager Doug McClelland. Project engineer Jerry Dibble said, "This is a re- ally good project. I think the tribal members will be pleased t over the years." Housing woes aired at General Council City-type housing and rents came under fire at last night's General Council meeting, where a handful of people were gath ered to discuss the upcoming June 5 referendum. Most fa vored the Deschutes Domestic Water project, and urged voters to get to the polls on June 5. But there were deep concerns about the direction of housing on the reservation. People expressed a desire for rural housing, "not West Hills type homes with nearby neigh borhoods." "We don't like to live like city people," Millie Colwash told the Tribal Council. Bernice Mitchell warned the group, "We've lost a lot of our culture by living on top of each other. Sometimes people are crawling the walls because we're so close to one another." She feels it is better for fami lies and children in rural areas, and that parents can keep bet ter track of their kids in a rural environment. Kitchen lured Calica from Simnasho farm Joe Calica left the Philippines in 1927 to go to school in the states. "I never did go!" he chuckles. But he has accom plished a few other things in his 50 years away from home. Earn ing Kah-Nee-Ta's employee of the month award was just one of them. As a cook in the lodge's main kitchen, 72-year-old Calica employs a trade learned in Tacoma shortly after his arrival in the Northwest. Working his way up from a dishwasher, Calica discovered a skill he could take anywhere, and Kah-Nee-Ta is now benefiting from his tal ents. Supervisor Norman Yates commended Calica for his "out standing ability in all phases of kitchen preparation" and his "willingness to take any task given to him and perform it without question." His 100 percent attendance and "happy go lucky" attitude are also valued in the Juniper kitchen, said Yates. After marrying tribal mem ber Inez Sumpter in 1943 and finishing a stint in the Navy, Calica came to the Warm Springs Reservation and began farming, as his family had done in the Philippines. Kah-Nee-Ta hosts Rose Festival Court Kah-Nee-Ta "put on the dog," as the saying goes, for the 13 members of the Rose Festi val Royz.1 Court. The court made its annual press and out-of-town visitation, which in cluded a visit to Bonneville Dam, Kah-Nee-Ta and Timber line Lodge.

Resort has new assistant manager The bad news at Kah-Nee-Ta recently was the loss of the assistant manager - who was a tribal member. The good news is that Kah-Nee-Ta has a new assistant manager - who is also a tribal member.

Bagley will oversee the opera tions of the front desk and the related areas of reservations and sales, as well as housekeep ing and eventually grounds and maintenance.
