This (below) is written with a BARKS newsletter slant. Nonetheless I thought I
would share it with the D8 list and my friend Mike in Chicago. We (BARKS) thank
you all for your time and support. I still can't believe you all came to Boise.
Thank you so much. Mike Riggs<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:black'>The
“Treasure Valley Pattern Contest” quietly began with NSRCA District
VIII members arriving Friday to coach new pattern fliers in the art of flying
the AMA Sportsman pattern sequence. It was great to see so many people using
the BARKS facilities on a beautiful Friday afternoon. As day wore into evening
other District VIII members arrived from far away northwest places.</span><span

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:black'>Saturday
morning contestants where greeted with moderately strong cool winds from the
north and a very bright sun in the right – eastern – corner of
“The Box”. Everybody mulled around munching “Finney”
donuts as the temperature rose and the sun rotated out of “The
Box”. Visiting Contest Director (CD) Rex Lesher called a pilots meeting
explaining the task at hand. Shortly afterward, the wheels of Mike Riggs Sword
left the ground marking the beginning of round one.</span><span

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:black'>Nathan
Wingert, Robert Sox, Jerry Kent and Mike Riggs battled the sportsman pattern
more than each other for five rounds Saturday. Shaking their heads the entire
time about the difficulty of performing seemingly easy maneuvers on a straight
line, parallel to the runway, under the watchful eye of D8 judges. Jerry flew
his retract equipped Sky Tiger to a speedy fourth place. Robert Sox epitomized
the pattern fledgling, flying his Avistar to third place. Mike bounced his
electrified Sword around the box to second place. Topping everybody, Nathan
sucked up the gear on his Killer Chaos and flew to a lean mean first place
finish.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:black'>All total

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:black'>Gordon
Anderson (Shinden) topped Rex Lesher (Twister) flying FAI(P9, I think). Jim
Hiller (Option 120) flew Masters. Steve Sterling (Focus) flew Advanced and
Craig Christensen (Integral) flew Intermediate.</span><span style='font-size:

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:black'>Linda
Sterling not only called for her husband Steve; but, spent a fair amount of the
day in the judges chair. Meri Anderson spent the afternoon keeping score,
instructing BARKS rookies on logistics and answering questions from an endless
stream of spectators. In addition to their hard work, both Linda and Meri
insisted on buying their own Lynn Street – World Famous – BARKS
lunch.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
