Just a note of caution. If you are approaching the downwind entry point for rwy 9 between the hours of 5 PM and 7 PM, (depending on the time of year), the sun can become a factor for seeing someone who is on the downwind. We're not use to seeing other aircraft on downwind very much, and I fell into the trap of this sunlight affect and being a little complacent. I thought I'd pass it along as a helpful reminder.
