Playing in con ditions ranging from down pour to mud puddle, the Cards lost to the Redsides 60-16. The Redsides scored early and often, jumping on the Cards 20-0 in the first quarter and taking a 42-0 lead at the half. A th ir d q u a r te r touchdow n pass from RJ Ramos to Alex Rietmann gave the Cardinal faithful a little something to cheer about. On a 4lh and 13, Riet mann, who is not usually in the receiving corps, got the first down and 47 more yards for the touchdown. Ramos hit Zac Orem with another pass for the point after. Alex Rietmann also pulled oft'the only other Car dinal score midway through the fourth quarter, taking a kickoff return almost coast to coast. Picking up the slip pery pigskin inside the five, he fumbled it a bit before grabbing and going. The blockers gave him some holes and he shot through for the score. Zac Orem and Cory Peterson connected on the point after. “It was one o f those things that started off bad from the start,” said Coach Dennis Stefani, noting that the Cardinals fumbled the opening kickoff and imme diately turned the ball over. “ It didn’t help playing in those conditions but on that night, they were a bigger, faster and stronger team.” South Wasco effec tively shut down the Cardi nal running game, holding Cory Peterson to ju st 23 yards on 13 carries. On the flip side, the Redsides aver aged just under 10 yards per carry en route to 339 yards on the ground. The Cardinals actu ally had the edge in passing y ardage. RJ R am os was 9-15 for 96 yards with two interceptions and one touch down. The Redsides tallied 73 passing yards. “ O ur h ead s w ere hanging a little bit at half time,” said Stefani “but we told the kids to try to look at every bit of the game and try to figure out what is going w rong." He was encouraged that the Cards decided to use the second half as a learning experience. “ We came out o f the locker-room w ith our heads up.” The Cards next op ponent will be Arlington at lone this Thursday night at 7 p.m. 2008-2009 Homecoming Court Lady Cards volleyball takes three league wins The lone Lady Car dinals reversed their volley ball fortunes last week, win ning three league matches.

Tyree Svetich added five. “We started out slow but came out strong in the third game and didn’t look back,” said Coach Dawn Eynetich. T h e L ad y C a rd s were on the road again Fri day, making the road trip to Maupin to take on South Wasco County. The Lady Cards finished off the Lady Redsides in three games, 25-14, 25-14, 25-19.

There are, what we call, do-it-yourself invest ments: Properties that are brought and managed directly by you. Many investors start this way and do very well at it. The simplest do-it-yourself investment is a second home, either for a combination vaca- tion/rental property or exclu sively for rental purposes. This could be a house, or, increas- ingly, a condominium. Tenants will usually cover maintenance expenses, and if you have thought through your purchase with rental in mind, the income you get will be sufficient to cover your debt serve. You should get a reason able tax-deferred cash flow, possibly some extra tax losses, and the potential for significant increase in value. It’s easier to get into the single family investment market because so many more o f these units are available. It's also faster and simpler to get out.
