‘Jono’ has his day at Broadway
The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — For the second year in a row,
it was another good alumni turnout and more
money raised for scholarships at Seaside High
School, following the second annual Jon Giz-
davich Alumni Weekend tournament.
Former Gull players and Seaside graduates
met Saturday afternoon at Broadway Field,
where it was “Throwback Day,” to honor a for-
mer Gull.
A statement on the group’s Facebook page
(Jon Gizdavich Alumni Weekend) read, “So
incredibly proud of our community. It was an
amazing day of baseball, friends, and fun and
we raised over 2K towards Jon’s scholarship
fund! He would be so humbled and proud!”
Donations are still accepted from fans
unable to attend the tournament, which honors
Gizdavich, who died in a car accident in Jan-
uary 2013.
“Jon and I were in the same class, and we
grew up together,” said Ross Knutsen, a cur-
rent assistant coach in the Seaside baseball
program. He also helps in the organizing and

spreading the word to former Gulls.
“I knew Jon since we were4. This was just
something that I wanted to help make happen.
It’s a great community event and a great way
to honor him.”
Knutsen said players from the Class of 2000
to 2014 took part in two games, one seven-in-
ning game and a ive-inning contest.
“Jon’s uncle and little cousin were there,
and his mom and sister came in,” he said.
Bri Hostetler, who was Gizdavich’s girl-
friend, posted, “Another amazing turnout,
totaled out enough to award another two
$1,000 scholarships next spring. Biggest thank
you to everyone who makes this possible,
means the world.”
Cannon: It’s believed to be from the decking of the USS Shark

“I’ve been working on this proj-
ect for so long,” she said. “When we
got all the cases here, we cried a lit-
tle bit.”
Trucke and museum archivist Liz
Johnson, Clatsop County Historical
Society board member Matt Powers,
and Clatsop County Historical Soci-
ety board Vice President Amber Glen
were at the museum for the moving,
unpacking and unveiling of the can-
non and capstan.
The task proved more difi-
cult than expected, and they called
Coaster Construction for assistance.
USS Shark
The iron cannon, technically
called a carronade, and the capstan
used to lift the ship’s anchor are
thought to be from the decking of
the USS Shark, a U.S. naval schoo-
ner that went down in the Colum-
bia River in 1846. The cannon was
found, lost, then discovered again in
1989, when it came ashore in Arch
Cape.
It has had a long journey since,
sitting outside in Arch Cape for years
until it was vandalized in the 1980s,
Trucke said. The Clatsop County
Historical Society moved the can-
non to the Clatsop County Heritage
Museum, before it found a home at
the Cannon Beach history museum
in 2005.
Researchers at Texas A&M Uni-
versity wanted to do a comparative
study of the cannon with the other
two cannons thought to be from the
same ship that were found in 2008,
but it was too oxidized.
In 2012, the museum shipped the
cannon and capstan to the university
for extensive restoration. The cannon
was rusting, with pieces falling off,
when they shipped it to Texas.
When it returned in 2014, the
museum did not have the proper
space or environment for the pre-
served artifacts, and they were stored
at the Maritime Museum.
The museum worked with engi-
neers, contractors, architects and oth-
ers to plan the exhibit, Trucke said.
Although she faced challenges, like
the dificulties in transporting the
cannon, she remained determined to
get the cannon back in the museum.
“I went to school speciically to
work in a museum, so to me this was
a really important thing. It became
my baby project,” Trucke said. “I
just kept banging my head against
a lot of walls. But we inally got it
in here, and we’ve got a great board
right now.”
On display
The exhibit will include a car-
riage, a model of the USS Shark, a
diagram used to build model ships,
a sketch of the USS Shark, photos
displayed on a TV screen, and infor-
mation that connects the carronade
to the other two cannons found in
2008 , which are now at the Colum-
bia River Maritime Museum.
Trucke raised more than $30,000
to send the cannon to Texas. She
also raised funds for the exhibit,
which will cost about $45,000.
The project’s largest donors,
donating $10,000 each, included
Clark Foundation, Kinsman Foun-
dation and Braemar Charitable
Trust.
“This cannon is actually what the
area was named for,” Trucke said.
Cannon Beach was named Ecola
before 1922, when the town adopted
the name Cannon Beach after a vote.
“I remember this when I was a
kid, people come in who remem-
ber it when they were a kid,” Trucke
said, recalling when she would see
it at the Heritage Museum. “I’d like
the future generations to enjoy it.”
