The trouble showed up in the stats where the hitting and passing statistics were “ terrible” accor ding to Likens. In their final match of the day, the Cardinals encountered more turbulence against Wahtonka where they lost 2-15, 7-15. “ We didn’t do much of anything,” said Likens. There were some bright spots on the day. Jamie Lovett scored 12 points on 19 of 20 serving for the tournament. Mary Jane McCarty served 22 of 22 and scored 14 points and hit 13 of 13 with six kills, all coming from off the net.

Moving cattle home from summer pasture on the windiest, coldest September day imaginable not only makes one see red after facing all the flying dirt-but it tends to not leave one with the sunniest of dispositions. That familiar refrain “ we’ll be home by noon” was once again not true. Having heard that statement before, I packed saddle bags with peanut butter sandwiches and a bottle of water. And sporting long johns, a stocking cap, insulated gloves and a winter coat helped make the long day more bearable. It’s too bad there weren’t some conversation specialists on hand to tell us how to keep the wind-swept dirt from blowing away. But I did add to the soil enrichment at our back door when I had to strip and shake my clothing before entering the house. It was definitely one of those times that I was glad that there weren’t any friends along to ‘enjoy’ a pleasant cattle drive. However I can think of some folks who would have learned a good lesson while riding behind some 80 plus critters plowing across a summerfallow field into a strong head wind. Any picturesque thoughts of a leisure ly cattle drive for participating ^nderfoots would have made them glad to head back to the city. That’s probably one reason that there was less cultivation of sod when people were farming with horses before there were air- conditioned tractor cabs. Let’s hope that many fields with steep ground that are now seeded to grasses under the Conservation Reserve Pro gram remain out of production. However if the drawdown of Col umbia River dam pools persists, we’ll probably see a lot more blowing dust from the lower sandy regions that are now under irrigation. It’s quite evident as farmers are seeding their fields, the work that goes into crop production—long before it’s harvest time. And they also face the gamble that their crops will be profitable. But in the cattle industry, motors can’t be shut down during winter months. Feeding livestock, calving and doctoring of animals is a time- consuming chore. And the losses and veterinary expenses can be staggering. Bom into this kind of life helps—one just doesn’t expect many free days. Summer time requires pasture management and health checks to prevent losses and accomplish a marketable weight gain. But I guess that if this occupation wasn’t preferred by hardy souls, they could hang up their boots and join the unemployment lines. And this grandmother could plead aging infirmities and stick to chasing the dust inside the house. But it will probably take a few more knowledge bumps before I learn to stay home and babysit.
