The Ione Topic Club completed its 91 st year of service to the Ione commu- nity by enjoying the club tradition of a Christmas lunch. The club was found- ed in 1928 by local women living on farms in the area with the goal of furthering education for their mem- bers and the community. The club continues to fulfill the same goals today. Recently they sponsored the Ione school Scholas- tic Book Fair, which not only provides families an opportunity to purchase reasonably priced books but adds hundreds of books to classrooms and the school library each year. Profits from the book fair have been used to support the Creative Care Preschool and assist with bringing speakers and programs to Ione Community School. The group continues to hold a mother-daugh- ter lunch each spring to recognize the educational achievements of graduating seniors. The Topic Club es- tablished the Ione library in 1933 and was the sole support until 2013 when it became a taxing district. They continue to support the library by providing readers for preschool visits and assist by volunteering during the annual summer reading program. The club fulfills their goal of continued education by sponsoring trips to local points of interest. Recently they toured the Port of Mor- row and learned about the great contribution it brings to the county. pounds. Roen advanced to the semifinals on Saturday with byes in the first day of competition. He would end Saturday with a third- place medal after a loss to a wrestler from Culver and a victory, by fall, against Lawson Setzer from San- tiam Christian. Suzanneah ended the tournament going 0 for 2, losing to wrestlers from Elgin and Santiam Christian. Edward’s tournament ended on Friday with two losses and one win by fall over Brant Jones from San- tiam Christian. Conor had a bye in the first round and then won by pin over Trevor Smith from Culver, advanc- ing him to the semifinals on Saturday. Jace would have two wins on Friday. He won by fall over Harley Miller from Joseph and a technical fall over Aidan Henlin from Culver, which advanced Coe to the semifinals on Saturday where he would face his teammate, Conor. Saturday started off with Coe and Brosnan squaring off in the semifinal round of the championship bracket. The match was a hard-fought battle ending with Jace scoring an escape with 15 seconds remaining in the third round to give him the victory with a score of 5 to 4. Brosnan dropped to the consolation semifinals and wrestled Logan Griffin from Adrian. He won the victory with a fall in the second round. He would next wrestle Trevor Oxen- rider of Santiam Christian in the consolation finals for 3 rd place. Conor pinned Trevor in the second round to secure a third-place med- al. Jace, with a victory over Brosnan, advanced to the finals versus the 2A, #1 ranked 160-pound wres- tler, Hunter Augustynovich from Culver. The match was a tough fought contest with the lead changing mul- tiple times over the three rounds. The third round saw Coe take the lead but then Augustynovich reversed Coe and put him on his back to get the fall. Jace ended the tournament with a second-place medal. The Mustang’s will be in major action next in Echo on Saturday when fourteen teams are scheduled to compete.
