Joe Campo uses an Osborne Fire-Finder The historic Ute Mountain fire-lookout tower is still earl its keep every day By Martin Renzhofer THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE MANILA As if on schedule the late afternoon sun was becoming obscured by dark clouds building up over the northeast slope of the Uinta Mountains in northeastern Utah From his perch on top of the Ute Mountain firewatch tower Joe Campo peered through binoculars at the cloud cover beginning to blanket the Ashley National Forest "We won't see anything today" said Campo a US Forest Service seasonal employee for the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area "When lightning does come through it can really be intense It gets a little scary" The day after Campo's uneventful shift was a different story A lightning storm ripped through the area causing at least one fire It was quickly extinguished by firefighters dispatched from their base in Dutch John along the banks of the Green River A week earlier Campo saw a jagged bolt of lightning strike a tree exploding it 1 II See E-2 Column 1 THE tIZZIE BORDEN CASE Photos by Deirdre Erick The Salt Lake Tribune Ute Mountain forest lookout is one of the few remaining

the Navajo reservation when she was 12 returned here last year to her hometown to help her people and get reacquainted with her heritage "This is where I have always wanted to be Near home helping my people with a profession that I've always wanted" says Allen one of three women doctors on the 25000-square-mile reservation She works at the Tsai le Indian Health Center 40 miles north of Window Rock Ariz where she treats a variety of ailments although her specialty is internal medicine After graduating from the University of Florida medical school she worked at the hospital in Fort Defiance also on the reservation but moved to Tsai le so she could build a more personal relationship with her patients and spend more time on preventive medicine especially alcohol abuse "Alcohol abuse is the cause of the top five health problems that we Navajos have" she says Those five problems are accidents violence suicide cirrhosis of the liver and alcohol poisoning The problems particularly affect young Navajo men on the reservation Since her return to the reservation Allen has familiarized herself with traditional Navajo healing methods used in balance with modern medicine "In the Navajo tradition of healing there's a concrete holistic approach The native medicine person takes the patient as a whole and tries to reintegrate the person as a whole to bring him back to balance" she said
