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.

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
game ended on a fly ball
hit by Portland over Grant
County’s third baseman’s
head with Madi McKrola
running hard towards the
line, laying out and unable
to come up with the ball
allowing Portland to score
and end the game, 6-5.

eastern museums. 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

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.
