Safaris Desiree has partici
pated in caught her interest, she
said. The 18- year-old daughter
of Diane Shirk, Lititz, fell in love
with exotic animals by visiting
zoos all over the area. Desiree
said she has visited the Philadel
phia Zoo and zoos in Hershey,
Washington, D.C., Baltimore,
and many aquariums.
Desiree said that the polar
bear exhibit at the Philadelphia
Zoo appealed to her. “I spent a
lot of time in Philly,” she said.
She watched “Yogi Bear” TV
cartoons a lot. And she pointed
to watching black bears at a
family cabin in Snow Shoe.
Desiree also attributes her de
cision to watching a veterinarian
help Nikki, a Gordon Setter,
who passed away after her last
litter.
Desiree wants to major in
animal science at Delaware
Valley College. Del Val ap
pealed to her because of its
animal science curriculum.
Scholarship recipient Ryan
Wimer looked into several col
leges. The 18-year-old son of
Raymond Wimer, Quarryville,
selected a career path in equine
management and looked at sev
eral colleges.
Ryan believes that Del Val is
too small and Penn State is too
big. He finally chose the Univer
sity of Delaware with the help of
the company he has worked for
several years, Hilltop Farms,
Colora, Md., a “very well-to-do
sport horse and breeding
center,” Ryan said
Ryan will study animal sci
ence at the university with a

Ryan helps on his own small
family farm, which raises dairy
heifers.
Scholarship recipient Lynn
Ressler, 17, son of Leon and Lou
Ann Ressler, Peach Bottom, has
a “passion” for horticulture.
Lynn, senior at Solanco High
School and 10-year Lancaster
County 4-H Strawberry Club
member, said he has “always
been interested in plants.” He
spent some time trying to grow a
Passion flower, but couldn’t get
the seeds to germinate.
Lynn noted the lack of germi
nation could be blamed on im
proper heating. The flowers
have to be kept at a temperature
of 100 degrees for three weeks.
Lynn, who plans to enroll in
Penn State to study horticulture,
kept his focus on ornamental
horticulture in high school and
“took advanced everything,” he
said, with a focus on horticul
ture. He also studied Website
design.
Audrey Nissley, 18, daughter
of Mike and Nancy Nissley,
Washington Boro, plans to
return to the family farm or
enter another ag-related busi
ness after graduation from Dela

Audrey, Manor FFA member,
points to the inspiration pro

August Birchler at Penn Manor.

said Audrey. “He was really an
influence. He told me to be the
best I could be.”
Audrey chose to study dairy
science at Delaware Valley be
cause the school was smaller
and “I felt like more of a
person,” she said. Other schools
were simply too big.
Audrey helps on her family’s
dairy, where they milk 75 cows.
Another scholarship winner,
Russell Howard, chose a study
in food science at Penn State.
Russell, 18, son of James and
Cecilia Howard, Stasburg, re
quested a booklet from Penn
State that peaked his interest.
The booklet explained the
