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.

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. Dick Rasmussen,
the District Governor chaired
the meeting as all the district
Lions Clubs gave their month
activity reports. Representa
tives from most of the clubs
were present and each club has
good projects going in their
communities.
It was announced that the
Club
Meeting
Good Samaritan Hospital has
expanded its sight program. It
has changed from just sight to a
sight and hearing foundation.
Eye-sight and hearing are
among the leading problems
with children as well as adults
W'
;
The mid-year conference
which was aj Seaside was a big
success as the turn out was
good. At that conference it was
decided that the State conven
tion will be in Eugene, May 18,
19 and 20th. There will be im
portant issues introduced to the
Lions club members there. The
Warm Springs Lions Club is
hoping to have good representa
tion this year.
