Ellen Bishop/Special to the Chieftain One of the highlights of the 2017 Chief Joseph Days Rodeo came Thursday evening when Wallowa County native Derek Kolbaba rode Oma- ha for 88 points. The bull had never been ridden before. Ellen Bishop/Special to the Chieftain Ellen Bishop/Special to the Chieftain Lane Santos, of Creston, Calif., takes aim on a steer in Saturday’s Team Roping event. Tan- ner and Quade Patzke, of Klamath Falls, Ore., walked away with the top Team Roping prize. Kirk St. Clair, of Blodgett, Ore., rides Mom- ma’s Boy for a score of 68 in the Wednes- day night go-round. Shrine Club tournament draws a crowd On the Friday of the Chief Joseph Days celebration, while the boot and bling crowd jin- gled through Joseph, the golf shoe crowd hit the fairways at Alpine Meadows in Enterprise. You remember Enterprise — the town you have to drive through to get to the little town of heaven. In support of the Wallowa County Shrine Club, 74 golfers turned out to play in the annual Shriner’s tournament. “It’s the biggest turnout we’ve had,” said Sam Wade, tourney chair. “Too, I think it’s the biggest turnout for Alpine Meadows this year. It makes us all happy.” Wade explained that pro- ceeds from the golf tournament go directly for local use helping Rochelle Danielson families with travel and housing expenses to and from the Shrine Hospital in Portland. “We also have a Rainbow Girl’s fund,” he said. “We haven’t any Rainbow girls at this time, but we are there for the girls when they reorganize.” The four top teams: First –– Levi Taylor, Mike Bis- bee Jr, Gordon Higheagle Jr. and Easton Powaukee, 58. Second –– Lance Homan, Michele Homan, Tyler Homan and Faith Homan, 59. 800 S. River, Enterprise • 541.426.9228 • carpetonenterprise.com Third –– Stan Getz, Harry Grosh- ens, Rick Hill and Eric Snively, 60. Fourth –– Marcus Bridges, Ashley Bridges, Michael McMurray and Kyle Crawford, 62. Ladies Longest Drive: Julie Hickerson. Men’s Longest Drive: Mike Bisbee Jr. Ladies KP: Michele Homan. Men’s KP: Rob Hays. “The teams moved along at a good pace. We fi nished up about 3 p.m.,” said Gerald Crawford. “That’s fast when you think of the many mulligan tickets sold. There was a time when the tourna- ment was an all-day, all-evening’ event.” Crawford and his wife, Lor- raine, help with the tournament every year as does Sam’s wife, Margaret, and daughter, Christi. You’ve got to love the Shri- ners. Their support for one another is obvious at the golf course and even more so at the Saturday morn- ing breakfast at the rodeo grounds where their organization acts as one happy family fl ipping hotcakes for the crowd. They’ve got the serving down pat too, even the tots pitch in. Pro- ceeds from the breakfast go directly to the Shrine Hospital for Children in Portland. Next year, let’s hope to see a comeback of the Shriner Fez and their little red cars to the Chief Joseph Days parade. Rochelle Danielson writes about golf for Chieftain during the summer months. Bales selected for all-star football team Trent Bales, a 2017 Enterprise High School graduate, was recently selected to play in the East-West Shrine All-Star foot- ball game in Baker City, slated for Aug. 5. The 18-year-old played running back and middle linebacker. He expects to play at one or both of those positions at the All-Star Bales game. Bales plans to attend Blue Mountain Community Col- lege in Pendleton this fall. “Being chosen is defi nitely an honor,” he said. “It’s really exciting, and it’s going to be an awesome game.” For a Summer “Stay”cation e in Com y To d a t Ge and ired! p s n I
