Disaster Scenario

Disaster scene a block away from the lone City Hall. The group received a perfect rating for
treating six patients in a half hour after the simulated crash of a car and two trucks.
'Accident victim' in lone receives prompt care from
ambulance team in mock disaster rehearsal
Youngsters sifted through straw on the floor of the Livestock barn at the Morrow County
Fairgrounds Sunday searching for money hidden in the Kid's Coin Hunt. The event was one of
many fun events staged this year in the 1979 Morrow County Fair.
School begins day after Labor Day
Ione's Quick Response team
responded to a simulated
mass-injury accident August
15 a block away from lone City
Hall.
The mock drill had injury
victims thrown through a car
windshield, one women lying
next to an open car door.
There was a victim lying
across the hood of a truck, as
if involved in the accident.
Another tanker truck was
leaking water (simulated to be
a gasoline leak) and another
patient simulated a heart
attack watching the accident.
At 7:31 p.m., the siren at
city hall blew and shortly
afterwards, the ambulance
with the quick response team
arrived on the scene followed
by the city fire truck. Team
members, who were undergo
ing the mock drill as a final
test in the Crash Injury
Management Course taught
by Linda Connors, immedi
ately began working on the
simulated disaster victims
splotched with blood.
By 8 p.m., the team had all
the victims treated.
The drill's coordinator, Lin
da Connors, said on a scale of 1
to 10, she would rate the
team's performance at 10
because of the time it took and
the care the group showed in
rescue procedures.
To remove a man sup
posedly injured while standing
in the rear of a truck carrying
equipment, a back board was
gently applied by the team
and lifted to the ground. He
was later put on a stretcher.
The team is awaiting the
outcome of written tests to be
fully certified as the city's
Quick Response Unit.
Firemen at the scene strung
hose around the accident and
helped the ambulance crew in
the emergency.
It drew a large group of
onlookers in cars, on motorcy

The Irrigon Council ap
proved Clark Tavern's appli
cation for renewal of a liquor
license, when they met Aug.
14.
Paul and Barbara Brown,
owners of the B&E Service
Station were present to ques
tion petitions being circulated
in the community protesting
their plan to place mobile
home units in a complex for
use as a motel. The petition
was purported to have been
signed by council members
who supported the proposal
when it was presented.
The 12 units are to be placed
in a commercial zone set back
from the highway east of First
St. Their placement was
approved at the July Council
meeting with the provision
that their use would be
re-evaluated in two years,
since the proposal was for
temporary use. Irrigon has no
overnight facilities and the
move was considered econo
mically good for the city.
A petition by a home owner
for vacation of an alley
between his house and the
courthouse annex was intro
duced. It had been approved
by the planning commission.
ECOAC has informed the
city that the policeman will be
funded through Sept. 5 and it
will be necessary for the city
to pay his wages after that
time.
Several spoke in support of
his being retained. Since only
three of the council members
were present the matter was
tabled.
A contract was signed with
Faunt, Lewis and Bare for an
audit of the city's accounts for
the year ending June 30.
It was moved to call for bids
on construction of a water line
on First Street to serve the
new Junior High School, south
of California Ave. First Street
' is to be improved to serve the
school.
The council felt the work
should all be coordinated.

before the Port to request a
duty-free port for I.M. Dock
ing. I.M. Docking made the
request himself.
Nichols asked the Port for
permission to lease four acres
for a retail building trades
