other cars were moving back

the company’s oil tank. This
one team was delivering gaso-

An August snow storm over
the weekend helped to put the
damper on several forest fi res
which broke out last week.
Two of Wallowa County’s
families were honored by the
county Stockgrowers associ-
ation during its dinner Satur-
day evening. Mack and Marian
Birkmaier won the Cattleman
of the Year award, and the Yost
Ranch, represented by Paul,
James and Vicky Yost, was
winner of the Grassman of the
Year award.
Three Wallowa County
high school students, Car-
rie Phillips, Jenni Blanchet
and Jeremy Ornelas, recently
spent two weeks at the Mis-
soula Children’s Theatre per-
forming arts camp in Montana.
Out of 128 young performers
accepted for the camp from
all over the country, only fi ve
were from Oregon.
The CJD court may include just two young
women in 2018, but they are the cream of the
crop.
Diedre Schreiber, daughter of Debi and
Charlie Warnock, and Rylee Goller, daughter of
Curtis Goller and Joe and Linda Estes, tried out
for the honor last week.
Schreiber is a member of this year’s Stock-
growers Cattlemen of the Year family — the
Warnocks. Her hobbies include showing cattle
and horses.
She is a member of FFA and 4-H and qual-
ifi ed and showed her horse at the Oregon State
Fair, received the Jidge Tippett Memorial Beef
Award, the Wallowa County Stockgrowers
Heifer Award.
Additionally, Schreiber represented Wallowa
County at the National Horse Classics Team in
Kentucky.
Rylee Goller is also a top horsewoman and
excels in academic studies as well.
She has always been involved in horse rid-
ing, hiking and running with her extended fam-
ily and enjoys weight-lifting, swimming and
volleyball.
Goller maintained a 4.0 GPA all the way
through high school and was inducted into the
National Honor Society as a freshman. She’s
won scholastic awards in physical science, biol-
ogy, English, and fi tness and conditioning.
Additional accomplishments include cham-
pion walk trot at Wallowa County Fair, cham-
pion dressage Level A, reserve champion trail
and champion barrel racing.
FFA accomplishments include third in begin-
ning advertisement, and fi rst and second as a
member of the meat evaluation team.
She hopes to become the valedictorian of
her class in 2019 and plans to attend a four-year
university focusing on pre-med, attending med-
ical school and becoming a family practitioner
thereafter.
