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-

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.

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.
