By Angel Carpenter Blue Mountain Eagle DAYVILLE – It’s a birth- day for the books this week- end at the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument Sheep Rock Unit. On Saturday, several events are planned to cele- brate 40 years since the estab- lishment of the Fossil Beds as a national monument. It’s also the sesquicenten- nial anniversary of the dis- FRYHU\ RI WKH ¿UVW IRVVLOV LQ the John Day Basin by Thom- as Condon, and the 10th an- niversary of the paleontology center which bears Condon’s name. Born in Ireland, Condon arrived in the United States as a young boy. He became a missionary and a scientist, learning about the abundance of fossils in the Kimberly area in 1862 from soldiers he met at a church he started in The Dalles. +LV ¿UVW YLVLW WR WKH -RKQ Day Basin was in 1865 when GAME Continued from Page A9 Both teams went scoreless in the eighth and, at the top of the ninth, Grant County Wildfire was unable to score with the bases loaded.

The John Day Fossil Beds gained its National Monument status in 1975, after authorization from congress the previous year. The anniversary will be marked by a series of educa- tional events. A paleontologist will lead a Blue Basin hike from 9-10:30 a.m., meeting at the trailhead a couple miles north of the Thomas Condon Paleontolo- gy Center. Located between the towns of Dayville and Kimberly, the Thomas Condon Paleontolo- gy Center is on Highway 19, two miles north of the junc- tion with Highway 26. Across from the Center is the Cant Ranch where a tour will be held 10-11 a.m. The main birthday par- ty event includes a cake re- ception at 11:30 a.m. at the Center with an unveiling of a new exhibit. The new display includes “three new panels about the history of paleontol- ogy and how it has developed here at the park,” said park su- perintendent Shelley Hall. Other events at the Cen- ter: a presentation by a park and fought back the whole time,” said Coach Zach Williams. “It’s always hard to lose in a big game like this, but the girls played excellent and I couldn’t be more proud of the way they battled under such tough conditions.” Shaine Madden pitched eight full innings and was knocked out of the game on the last out during the eighth inning with a line drive that hit her in the leg. Brianna Zweygardt came in to pitch the ninth inning. Madden had pitched six innings earlier in the day also against Warm Springs in the semi finals, a game in which Grant County won 12 - 5 to advance to the championship game. “Shaine Madden pitched an amazing game,” said Williams. “She was effec- tive because she got ahead of hitters and was able to throw the change up in any count which kept Parkside/ Beaumont hitters off bal- ance all game long.” Throughout the game Madden forced the Port- land hitters to put the ball in play and allow her de- fense to work behind her. Williams said, “We played good defense, got hits when we needed to, we had great pitching and we stayed up in the dugout and supported each other the whole time you can ask for more than that.” During the champion- ship game, Allen was three for five; Kaylee Wright went two for three and McKrola was two for four. During the Warm Springs game Allen and Madden were both two for four; Macy Strong was two for five and Hailie Wright was two for five with four RBIs. Halie Wright hit two home runs for the tourna- ment one inside the park MEETING NOTICE NORTH & MIDDLE FORK JOHN DAY RIVER AGRICULTURAL WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT AREA PLAN The Fourth Meeting for the Biennial Review of the North & Middle Fork John Day River Agricultural Water Quality Management Area Plan will be held on Tuesday, July 28th, 2015 at 5:00pm at the Monument Senior Center at 269 Main Street in Monument.

Parkside/Beaumont ad- vanced to the regional Lit- tle League softball tour- nament in Tucson Arizona that begins this week. “Parkside Beaumont was a tough team from the Northeast part of Portland and have been playing to- gether all year with ASA and Little League tour- naments,” Williams said. “They are a well deserv- ing team and have a good chance to go out and play well at regionals.” Coach Williams had assistance with coaching from Mike Strong, Tammy Clark and Lance Zweygardt all season. Williams said, “I can’t say enough about the help I got from my other coach- es and the support from our community. It was so over- whelming to see how many people came over from John Day to watch the state championship game and were cheering us on from home.” He credited the team’s success partially to adding ASA tournaments to their schedule this year for more games in the season.
