Charity race at Sunset Speedway
Sunset Speedway race driv

tribution to charity in an event
christened the KUPL “Race For
Kids.” Drivers from the 360
Sprint, Street Stock and
Bomber divisions will donate
the lion’s share of their July 7
winnings to the Children’s Can

bout with cancer at the tender
age of four, were on hand at
Sunset to help promote the up
coming event.
Jim Beardsley, a regular
competitor in the Cascade

beating the drum for the
Thompson’s cause for several
years. This year, Beardsley,

from this event will benefit the
Children’s Cancer Association.

The Yard of the Month for June graces the Cherry Street home of Loren and Robin Den
nis. Though a velvety lawn is the first element seen, the most outstanding feature is the
use of foliage color and texture, mixed with creatively designed retaining walls. Loren
Dennis also constructed a waterfall (yes, it uses a recycling pump) as part of the retain
ing wall. Vernonia Cares started the Yard of the Month program this year, with nomina
tions accepted from throughout the community.
Salmon watching site developed
A rustic picnic table and benches are now nestled by the water just south of the Rock Creek
Bridge, behind Shay Park. Though this spot is enticing on a warm summer day, it was de
veloped so people could comfortably watch salmon on their upstream journey during
spawning season. Construction was done by volunteers with the Upper Nehalem Watershed
Council.
