DAYVILLE – These
scarecrows don’t need brains;
the people who crafted them
are obviously pretty smart –
and creative.
This year’s scarecrow
contest in Dayville drew 12
entries from throughout the
county. Top winners were
Blue Mountain Care Center
in 3rairie City, ¿ rst place;
Prairie Springs Fish Farm in
Dayville, second; and Linda
Hand of Twisted Treasures
and Gnarly Goods of Day-
ville, third.
Others submitting scare-
crows were Tiffnie Schmade-
ka and Michael Ashley,
Grayson Schmadeka, Duke
Warner Realty, Niki Fisher,
Emma and Jody Winkelman,
Dayville Mercantile, Dayville
School’s K-third grade class;
and Ruthie Moore.
The winners were an-
nounced at the town’s third
annual Community Fall Pot-
luck held Oct. 9 in the Com-
munity Hall.
There were also winners at
the potluck, as cooks vied for
People’s Choice honors. Car-
ol McCartney took ¿ rst place,
and Dea Driscoll and Nancy
Moore tied for second.
Other activities included a
reverse rafÀ e, a cake walk and
a Right/Left/Fall game.
About 100 people attended
the event, which raised over
$400 toward renovations of
the Dayville Community Hall.
The scarecrows are dis-
played along Franklin Street
in Dayville and will remain
up until Monday, Nov. 9.

included a zombie elephant,
several clowns, “freak show”
marionettes with a marionette
master, a hula hoop performer
and a bearded lady – with a
monkey.
A considerable amount
of preparation goes into the
event, including planning out
the course, the obstacles and
the zombies.
And of course, lots of cos-
tumes and make up – heavy on
the latter.
Zombies gathered in the
Sale Barn about an hour prior to
the run to get gussied up under
wigs, layers of colorful and bi-
zarre clothing, and makeup that
was frighteningly realistic.
All the participants enjoyed
an after-party in the Sale Barn.

It’s make up time for zombies in the Sale Barn,
prior to “Zombie Circus,” the third annual Zombie
Fun Run Saturday, Oct. 24.
According to Lisa Weigum
with Safe Communities, there
were 56 runners and 30 zom-
bies this year.
The event was organized by
Grant County Safe Commu-
nities Coalition and the John
Day-Canyon City Parks and
Rec. The event raised about
$600 to be split, Weigum said,
between the Coalition and
Parks and Rec.
She said the event is never
very pro¿ table, but it’s a good
time for all involved.
“We got a lot of great re-
views from the participants,
both the zombies and runners,”
Weigum said.
Participants came from as
SHERIFF
and I get the door shut in my
face.”
Labhart hoped the work ses-
sion would open dialog between
the two parties and asked each to
submit questions. No questions
were submitted by the sheriff.
Steve Beverlin, forest super-
visor on the Malheur National
Forest, had four questions:
Did the county court au-
thorize the sheriff to send a let-

Commissioner Chris Labhart
said he called for the work ses-
sion after reading Palmer’s com-
ments in a Blue Mountain Eagle
article earlier this month where
he said, “I ask for things from
the Forest Service to do my job,

far away as Bend and Burns.
“We are pretty happy that
the word is getting out about
the run,” she said, adding they
are already gearing up for next
year’s run.
“We’ve got some great ideas,
and it’s only going to get bigger
and better,” Weigum said.
ter Oct. 9 to Beverlin and other
forest of¿ cials stating the county
is asserting the coordination pro-
cess with the Forest Service?
Does the sheriff have the
statutory authority to represent
or commit the county in such
matters without the county court
approval?
Did county counsel review
and approve the Oct. 9 letter?
Was the sheriff’s plan ap-
proved per public noti¿ cation
and other requirements set forth
in state or federal statute?
The answer to each question
by the county court was, “No.”
At the work session, Bever-
lin expressed how he has tried to
contact Palmer through email,
phone calls and letters encour-
aging to him to meet and discuss
coordination. Beverlin claims
Palmer has declined to do so.
“I don’t know how to coor-
dinate with somebody if they
are not going to talk with me,”
Beverlin said.
Palmer said he is willing to
talk with Beverlin anytime, and
insists the two have no personal
disputes.
“My door is open to the
man,” Palmer said.
Without the sheriff in atten-
dance at Wednesday’s work ses-
sion, the county court decided to
end it early because any further
discussion would be unfair to
Palmer. Before adjuring, the
county court said it hoped the
work session and legal opinion
would give the sheriff incentive
to reach out to Beverlin.
“I just want them to talk,”
Labhart said.
