Contributing finan cially were Moapa Paiute Tribe of Nevada, Power En terprises, Kah-Nee-Ta Re sort and Casino, Karnopp and Peterson Attorneys, Myrna Courtney, Theron "Bones" Johnson, Uncle Wilson Wewajr., and Ha zel Gibson. ' Friends Shannon Will iams-Thorn, Kim Just and Kendra Williams, she said, also helped, particularly Williams, who provided "vast knowledge in the area of preparing for this con test" and to Preston Will iams "for letting me ride all of his horses both in practice and at the NFR." Kids First: door to door, one house at a time (Continued from page 6) At the next house, the only resident around to greet the group was a rottweiler dog chained to a pole stationed next to the front door. "Good boy. He needs to be neutered," Collins said. "As time goes on, you kind of get a sense for that sort of thing. Neutered or not neutered." Medina distracted the watch dog while Collins hung the bag of information on the knob on the front door. The group concluded it needed to bring dog treats for the next round of canvassing, including the six-week-old blue heeler puppy at one of the houses. In all, residents answered the door at nine of the 14 houses the group visited that morning. Five pickups, some of them apparently running, some per haps not, were in the yard at one house. Collins said her depart ment is able to pick up disabled vehicles and take it to the land fill where they can be crushed. A total of 1,100 cars were crushed recently. Children lived at five of the houses, while the resident at another house said she babysat her nieces and nephews. Kuntz, carrying a clipboard, accounted for each of the children by their ages. Miller said the Kids 1" pro gram reminds him of a time on the reservation when officers traveled on horseback and vis ited every home. "They'd spend time with them, they'd work with them, help them do stuff, work stock, cut wood," he said. "That way, they knew who was out there. "Most police officers, the only people they get in contact with are the ones they have calls on." "I like to know who lives where. I like to know who stays there, if there's any elder people in there, if they have any chil dren in there, and it gives me an idea of the address," Medina said. He said it also gives him an opportunity to follow up vic tims of crimes. "For me, I could see a way of getting out there and mak ing personal contact with more people than I would normally do on patrol," Miller said. "These people will start to , know who they are, that we're not just sitting by our cars wait ing for our calls, we're not just sitting by the phone waiting for a call," Medina said. Collins, who came to Warm Springs from Eugene 13 years ago, said the personal contact is what drives her, too. "We're out in the community and we're not just sitting by the desk," she said. "If they don't happen to come in to the clinic or if they don't happen to see us, they don't know who we are, and so if you go out and you knock on a door, they see you out doing something, and they can recognize you, and they aren't afraid to talk to you about different issues, so you find out a lot more information if you're out there talking to them first." Medina said residents of the reservation still don't know what sen-ices tribal government pro vides, and won't if no one goes out and tells them, "We've had the dog program since '94," Collins said. "People still don't know about it, so when we go we tell them about it, that you can get a certificate to get your dog vaccinated." Kuntz moved to Warm Springs in September, so it's not surprising that many on Upper Dry Creek had never seen her before. "I think it's great that they go door-to-door because it is hard, especially when you're new here because people don't know who you are here," she said. "A lot of people I've come across don't even know there is a so cial worker at the clinic, or they ask me, "Are you with (Child Protective Services)," and I'm like, 'No, I'm not CPS. I am a social worker and licensed, but I'm not CPS.' "I'm here to help you access resources that you need, so it's been good to just get out and meet people, so I can stay busy at work." Medina said Kids T's goal is to visit every home on the res ervation, even the ones far from the main roads. "We went to the one house over here in Charley Canyon, below Kah-Nee-Ta. Little old lady, almost totally deaf. She got so excited about having us come and visit her that day," Miller said. "That bag of stuff we gave her, she looked she had a Christ mas present to go through. I felt good watching that." "You have to understand that people live out in the boonies, and nobody comes to visit, and when they do get somebody at the door, boy, they get exited," Medina said. Unfortunately, Miller said, there isn't nun It funding lor Kids 1" at Warm Spiins. "We've been digging up what ever the depait incuts can scrounge up," lie s.nd. "Like the smoke dilators and stuff, we got through the detectors and battel ies through the Sleep Sale grant," Collins said. "The mange ntediiine has come in through my program, and the other stuff is literature that we hand out." The hand-out materials come from the Department of the Interior and the Red Cioss, but usually, at most, Kids 1" has about $800 at its disposal. "When you order stuff, it doesn't take much to cat that up." Miller said Kids Fiist is just finishing up areas it has not yet visited and will go back to wheie it started in Warm Springs. He said they would return to Up per Dry Creek "sometime next fall." And just as it did on this Thursday, go door to-door, one house at a time.
