NOW HIRING DRIVERS - FIVE Ione’s struggles continue in loss to Touchet The Ione Cardinals are searching for answers after falling to the Touchet Indi- ans 34-0 Friday afternoon in Touchet. Ione got off to another slow start, finding them- selves down 20-0 after one quarter. Ione’s defense would play better in the following three quarters, but still proved vulnerable to the big play. The Cardinals (0- 4) struggled on offense. Cardinal running backs were often frustrated by three and four defenders in the backfield. Touchet (2-1) dominated the line of scrimmage. Two drives that showed promise for Ione ended on fumbles. Under cloudy skies along the Touchet River, the Car- dinals would never enter the red zone. H e a d C o a c h To d d Knop complimented the play of sophomore defen- sive back Nestor Ramirez. “He gave up a touch- Freshman Matt Orem (82) takes down Touchet running back Jacob Big Sorrel Horse (8). -Contributed photo down early, but after that, he had a really good game.” Outside of that, Knop indicated that the team had a lot of work to do. “They need to apply the things they’ve learned in practice to the game.” This week is homecom- ing for the Cardinals. After a full slate of homecoming activities throughout the Ione Education Foundation holds dinner, auction week, the Cardinal vol- leyball team (3-3 league) hosts Arlington at 5 p.m. The football game versus Arlington/Condon will fol- low at 7 p.m. in Ione.

Emergency services Heppner Cemetery Maintenance District plan disaster drill Morrow County Health District and area emergency services will be conducting a disaster drill in Heppner on Tuesday, Oct. 4, from 6 to 8 p.m. This will include but will not be limited to hospital staff, emergency services, Life Flight and Heppner Fire Department. Morrow County Health District personnel say they want community members to understand that the Oct. 4 event is just a drill, but add that they do take it very seriously as an important component for emergency preparedness. People in the area of Pi- oneer Memorial can expect to see and hear emergency vehicles, and could witness a great deal of traffic around the hospital and clinic. They ask that the public remains out of the area during that time unless there is an ac- tual emergency. Anyone who lives in the in vicinity of the hospi- tal and has questions about how the drill might affect them, please contact Diana Grant at 541-676-9133 ext. 2932. receives grant The Heppner Cemetery Maintenance District re- ceived a $1,000 Historical Records Preservation grant from the Special Districts Association of Oregon. This grant was matched by the cemetery district, and the proceeds were used to translate all burial and plot records into an elec- tronic format. Ryan Cecil, a freshman at Southwestern Community College, spent many hours entering all burial record information into a specialized cemetery software program, and add- ed all of the cemetery plot information into a cemetery mapping program. This program will make it much easier to access plot and burial information as well as provide a hard copy to be accessed at the kiosk at the Heppner Masonic Cemetery. The Heppner Ceme- tery Maintenance District supports four local cem- eteries—Heppner Masonic, Pleasant Point (on Little Butter Creek), Upper Rhea Creek and Tippett cemeter- ies.
