The lady Cards took the court
at Culver Thursday, Oct. 7 and
appeared to be ready to dominate
the match but came up on the
short end losing in three games
15-7, 12-15, 6-15.
In the first game, they played
“ great ball,” according to coach
Greg Likens, to easily win the
personal matter
Lending money to a relative or
close friend is not only a business
transaction, but also a personal
matter that affects an important
relationship, points out Carol
Michael Bennett, OSU extension
agent in Morrow County.
Before making the loan, “ con
sider the entire situation,”
Michael Bennett suggests, “ in
cluding your own situation as
well as the situation of the per
son asking for help.”

Cardinals beat Pilot Rock
in non-league game
By Anne Morter
The lone lady Cardinals won
two matches and lost one last
week but the one they lost was
against a key conference oppo
nent Culver. Their league record
now stands at 6-3.
On Tuesday, Oct. 5, the Cards
visited Pilot Rock, a 2A school
and just like in their effort against
Heppner, rose to the level of
competition. They won the match
15-8, 7-15, 15-9 with a let-down
in the second game.
The stats looked good for the
lady Cardinals. At the service
line, they were 92 percent, just
above their team season goal of
90 percent. They hit 80 percent
and had an “ awesome” kill ratio
of 44 percent.
Mary Jane McCarty scored 11
points with two aces on 15 of 16
serving. April Taylor was 10 of
11 serving with seven points and
one ace. Melissa McElligott had
perfect 11 of 11 serving with
eight points and three aces.
McElligott also dominated at
the net with 18 of 19 hitting and
13 kills. She also had four stuff-
blocks. Jamie Lovett was another
force at the net with 10 of 13 hit
ting and seven kills.
Coach Greg Likens liked the
looks of that win with the excep
tion of the let-down in the second
game. “ That’s been a problem
for us all year long,” he said.
game 15-7.
Jessica Stefani started off the
second game with five straight
points to put them up 5-0 before
they fell apart. “ It looked like
they were wondering where we
were going to eat,” said Likens.
He noted that the team missed
four first serves in the game as
Paper, plastic, cash, check or
credit card? popular question
“ When Friends or Family Ask
For Money,” a new fact sheet by
Alice Mills Morrow, OSLI Exten
sion family economics specialist,
can help a person with this
decision.
The publciation suggests fac
tors to consider when evaluating
the request, urges evaulating your
own financial situation before
saying “ yes” and explains your
responsibility if you co-sign a
loan from a bank or other finan

formation about taxes on gifts and
interest rates.
“ When a friend or relative asks
you for financial assistance, it’s
your choice,” reminds Morrow.
“ Think through the situation.”

Paper or plastic? That question
at the grocery store used to be
about the kind of grocery bag you
wanted. Now it may be asked to
find out how are you going to pay
for the groceries-cash, check or
credit card, points out Alice Mills
Morrow, OSU Extension family
economics specialist.
Many grocery stores now per
mit the use of credit cards. While
supermarkets may allow the use
of credit cards, it may not be a
good idea, cautions Morrow.
Shoppers using credit cards are

more likely to overspend and less
likely to be aware of the cost of
their purchases. And if the entire
credit card balance is not paid
when due, the intrest paid on the
credit account will increase the
cost of groceries substantially.
Some supermarket ads say that
using your credit card gives you
a record of expenditures. Morrow
suggests that saving the tape from
the supermarket register provides
a far better record of purchases
than does a credit card statement.

our enthusiasm and intensity,” he
added. Culver picked up the
pieces and went on for the win,
15-12. The Cards never got back
into their game, losing the third
game and the match 6-15.
As a team the lady Cardinals
served 85 percent. Mary Jane
McCarty was the leader on
perfect 11 of 11 serving with
seven points and three aces. Kim
Bedortha added five points on
nine of 10 serving.
At the net the Cards hit just 73
percent. Melissa McElligott was
20 of 22 hitting with nine kills
While at Culver the lady Car
dinals also played Central Chris

ching them 15-1, 15-10. “ If we
served the ball, they couldn't get
it back,” said Likens. He was en
couraged by some of the players
coming off the bench.
Freshman Suzy Heideman
served three for four with three
aces and hit five of seven at the
net with three kills and one stuff-
block. Becky Wagenblast was
five of six serving with five points
and two aces.
