Cardinals stumble at Wahtonka
Cards up league record, beat Wasco Co
By Anne Morter
Gregg Rietmann says that defense
was the best part of the game.
Wasco was held to just 147 yards
of total offense, 141 on the
ground and a measly six in the
air.
The Cardinals tallied 430 yards
of total offense, 279 on the
ground and 151 in the air. Brian
Holtz led the balanced Cardinal
rushing attack with 95 yards on
The lone Cardinals moved their
league record to 2-0 with a 52-8
win over Wasco County Redsides
last Friday, Sept. 17 in Maupin.
Neither team managed a score in
the first quarter but the Cards

Redsides put their first points on

fourth quarter. Despite putting 52
points on the board, head coach

new fall library hours this week.
They are similar to the hours the
library has been keeping, but total
32 hours per week instead of the

badly, losing 6-15, 6-15. 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.

Never mind that I look like I’ve been on a five-day red-eye special.
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.
