Ione drops close game to rival Echo
On Friday, the Ione
Cardinals traveled to Echo
to face their traditional
rivals in a non-league foot-
ball match-up. Ione scored
first on a four-yard touch-
down run by Cord Flynn.
After a failed PAT, the Car-
dinals led 6-0 with 9:34 to
go in the first.
Echo answered mid-
way through the first when
Devan Craig scored on a
five-yard run. A successful
two-point conversion put
the Cougars up 8-6.
Echo’s speedy option
offense frustrated the Cardi-
nals in the first half. Cougar
quarterback Devan Craig
would score on a 40-yard
run to close the first. The
PAT failed. The Cougars
added a 40-yard touchdown
run by Noah Scott to go up
20-6 in the second.

ond quarter. The Cardi-
nals capitalized. Austin
Morter scored on a 16-yard
touchdown reception from
Cord Flynn. At half, the
scoreboard read Echo: 20,
Ione: 14.
The Cardinals’ defense
held the Cougars scoreless
in the third. Ione would
close the quarter out with an
11-yard touchdown by Cord
Flynn. The senior running
back would also punch in
the PAT to put the Cardinals
up 22-20 after three.
The Cougars reclaimed
the lead on a one-yard run
by Echo’s Ethan Hobson.
After a successful PAT,
Echo would lead 28-20.
Ione countered when
Dan Doherty drove the ball
in from six yards out to tie
the game at 28. A blitzing
Klay Jenson broke up the
critical PAT attempt.
On the following drive,
Ione held Echo at midfield
to bring up fourth and eight.
Echo would make a nine-
yard run on fourth down to
seize the momentum. Short-
ly thereafter, Zach Gehrke
broke down the sideline
for a 45-yard touchdown
run. The PAT failed, but the
score sealed the win for the
Cougars 34-28.
“It’s a disappointing
loss,” Ione Coach Todd
Knop said, “But we’re go-
ing to keep our heads up
and look to keep improv-
ing.”
Coach Knop also com-
plimented the Ione crowd.
“It was great to see the posi-
tive support from the fans.”
The Ione Cardinals face
the Sherman Huskies Fri-
day, Sept. 16, at 7 p.m. in
Ione.

Apply by Oct. 14 for chair, hunter
positions on Access and Habitat Board
SALEM, Ore.—
ODFW is currently ac-
cepting applications for
the chair and a hunter rep-
resentative opening on the
statewide Access and Habi-
tat Board. The deadline to
apply for both positions is
Friday, Oct. 14.
People with an interest
and experience in hunt-
ing and wildlife conserva-
tion are encouraged to ap-
ply. Contact Isaac Sanders
at 503-947-6087 or visit
http://www.dfw.state.or.us/
lands/AH/get_involved.asp
for application forms and
more information.
The Access and Habi-
tat Program is funded by
a $4 surcharge on hunting
licenses. Funds are dis-
tributed through grants to
individual and corporate
landowners, conservation
organizations, and others
for wildlife habitat im-
provement and projects
to provide hunter access
throughout the state.
The Board is made up
of seven volunteers—three
landowner representatives,
three hunter representa-
tives, and the chair—who
review and recommend
wildlife habitat improve-
ment and hunting access
projects to the Oregon Fish
and Wildlife Commission.
Board members, who
are appointed to four-year
terms by the Oregon Fish
and Wildlife Commission,
meet four times each year
in various communities
throughout the state to re-
view project funding ap-
plications, hear public tes-
timony and act as liaisons
between the program and
the public.
Windy River celebrates new playground
Boardman—Windy
River Elementary held
a public to a ribbon cut-
ting ceremony for its new
playground on Tuesday
evening, an event that sig-
naled the end of a year-long
process.
The playground project
began at the start of the
2015-16 school year with
the search for donors. Co-
lumbia River Technologies,
an affiliate of Tillamoook
County Creamery Asso-
ciation, agreed to contribute
the cost of the equipment.
Brandon Hammond, prin-
cipal of Windy River, said
that started the process and
made the dream of having
the play structure a reality.
The student council then
began to review options and
budgets.
Once the structure was
in place, options emerged
for the surface cover. With
the help of the Kiwanis Club
of Boardman and a grant
from the Offutt Family
Foundation, a large portion
of the cost of surface tiles
was covered. Hammond
said at this point, he thought
they were close to done, but
there was still work to do.
Through the help of Rock
Enterprises, the structure
was built safely.
School administrators
says they are greatly ap-
preciative of all the donors
who contributed to the new
playground, including Co-
lumbia River Technologies
(an affiliate of Tillamook
County Creamery Associa-
tion), Offutt Family Foun-
dation, Kiwanis Club of
Boardman, Rock Enterpris-
es, Boardman Community
Development Association,
Boardman Development
and the Killion Family.
“The entire process
was a testament of how the
community of Boardman
comes together to create
something better for our
children. This structure is
not only beneficial to our
school, but will enhance
our community as a whole,”
said Hammond.
Red Barn Fun Run

for a tee shirt. Proceeds go to the Heppner/Ione cross
country team.
Ione library board

The Ione Library District Board of Directors will hold
its monthly meeting on Thursday, Sept. 22, beginning at
10:30 a.m. at the Ione Public Library, 385 W. 2 nd Street.

Forest prepares to
implement fall
prescribed burn
Pendleton—Fire man-
agement officials on the
Umatilla National Forest
are preparing to implement
the fall prescribed burn
plan, which could impact
camping and hunting op-
portunities in several hunt-
ing units across the forest.
Any road and trail closures
will go into effect prior to
and during burn operations,
which typically take two
to five days to complete.
Hunters are advised to plan
ahead and avoid camping in
the designated prescribed
burn areas during this 2016
hunting season.
Maps of the proposed
prescribed burns are lo-
cated on InciWeb at http://
inciweb.nwcg.gov/inci-
dent/4703/. Additional in-
formation on prescribed
burning is available on the
Umatilla National Forest
website at www.fs.usda.
gov/umatilla/ or at any for-
est office.
Prescribed burning is
highly dependent on weath-
er conditions. Conditions
have to be within a narrow
criteria window in order to
use prescribed fire. Wind
speed and direction, tem-
peratures, relative humidity,
and fuel moistures are all
taken into consideration.
“Fall burning more
closely mimics fires when
they naturally occur and the
fire effects are more in line
with how the native vegeta-
tion has adapted to fire. So,
from a restoration objective
standpoint, late summer and
fall is the best fit for the tim-
ing of prescribed fires,” said
Chris Johnson, Deputy Fire
Staff Officer.
“Unfortunately, hunt-
ing season coincides with
prescribed burning season
and can impact our hunt-
ers, but controlled burns
are necessary to reintroduce
fire to the landscape and en-
courage healthy vegetation
that will ultimately improve
landscapes and forage for
big game,” added Lizzy
Berkley, Forest Wildlife
Biologist.
Hunters should be cau-
tious when entering a re-
cently burned area and be
aware of the increased haz-
ards. Hazard trees or snags
tend to pose the most immi-
nent threat. Dead or dying
trees that remain standing
after a fire are unstable,
especially in high winds.
“Don’t camp or hang
out in the burned area. And,
as always, let someone
know your planned route,
destination and expected
return time,” said Johnson.
Each prescribed burn
represents many years of
planning and preparation
to ensure they meet pre-
scriptive conditions that
allow for successful burns,
which provide for multiple
benefits to resources. The
forest works closely with
the Oregon Department
of Forestry and Washing-
ton Department of Natural
Resources in accordance
with the State’s Smoke
Management Plans to deter-
mine when, where, and how
much is burned on a daily
basis. Potential smoke im-
pacts, looking at volume of
smoke, direction of spread,
and mixing heights, are de-
termined prior to each burn.
All burns will be monitored
until a season-ending rain
or snow occurs.

about the Umatilla National
Forest’s Prescribed Burn
program, please contact
Chris Johnson, Deputy Fire
Staff Officer, at 541-278-
3704.
