PAGE 2 MARCH 24, 1978 * j W.S. Lions Hileman Finds Firefighting Challenging Hosted District “It’s a challenge to use the training I’ve picked up through the years. You must be able to use it effectively, handle a dif ficult situation and put out a fire,’’ stated Frank Hileman, Fireman of the year Frank Hileman spends much of his free time polishing, cleaning and maintaining the fire trucks belonging to the Warm Springs Fire Department. Hileman has not missed many fires in his four years of being a volunteer fireman and is usually first to the fire hall when the alarm sounds off. CDS Photo recently elected Warm Springs Fireman of the Year. He joined the fire department May 1974. Hileman will be presented a trophy at the next meeting of the Central Oregon Firefighters As sociation at Camp Sherman. “I learned a lot about fight ing fire in the Umatilla National Forest,” said Hileman. He ex plained that one must not allow himself to get excited during a fire. “You have to remain calm in the face of an emergency,” he said. “Also, the difference in forest and house fires is great. When fighting a forest fire you know what you’ve got. But with a house fire, there are gasses, bodies and who knows what else, to contend with. You don’t know what you’ve got until you get there.” During the Spring months, the fire trucks, hydrants and pressure hoses are checked on regular Monday night meetings of the Warm Springs volunteer fire department. Training is a valuable asset to Hileman. He has attended numerous training courses offer ed to firemen, the last being an extracation course. So far he hasn’t had to put this knowledge to use. During the summer, Hile man is a Timber Sales Admini strative Assistant, for the BIA, following through with sales of ficers duties. During the winter, he marks trees and cruises some allotments. Hileman and his family have been in Warm Springs since May of 1974. His wife, Shirley, works as a Librarian Aide at Warm Springs Grade School. He has three children, Tim, Steve and Carla. Needs Identified At Second Simnasho Meeting An addition to the Simnasho Longhouse was identified asthe number one priority at the second in a series of Simnasho community planning meetings held on Monday, March 13. The need for more room in the longhouse is becoming in creasingly apparent and area residents feel that as the com munity grows, the need will undoubtedly become greater. Cited was the over-crowded situ ation at the Lincoln’s Birthday Powwow, recently. Also expressed was the de sire for a door on the east end of the longhouse for use during funeral cerenionies. Another concern which came out at the meeting was that the people have seen maps and drawings of the overall com munity plan, but would now like to be looking at the land so areas being discussed can be pointed out and examined in a more personal and direct manner. So the next step will be a physical tour sometime shortly after Root Feast. Those on the tour will look at possible sites for rodeo grounds, a fire and ambulance station, post office, health care office, and con venience market and service station. No date has yet been set for the tour. Following the physical tour, the community people, commit tee and planning staff will get down to zoning discussions, as well as continuing to work on the question of getting water and roads to private homes at a reasonable cost. The Lions Club International convention will be in Tokyo, Japan, this year and the Warm Springs Lions Club have a poten tial representative for this years event. Meanwhile at the home front the Warm Springs Lions were host for the District 36-G meet ing held March 19th, at the Kah- Nee-Ta Lodge.
