It’s Happening at Chinook Winds in April ...
by Teresa Simmons
Battle at the Beach II Packs a Punch
More than 500 people attended
Battle at the Beach II on March 7.
This Olympic-style amateur boxing
event was sanctioned by USA Boxing,
the national governing body for all
amateur boxing in the U.S.
Ten bouts consisting of three or
four rounds of one or two minutes each
were held. Venues such as this help
establish youth boxing records for
consideration as Olympic contenders.
The Siletz Tribal Honor Guard and
the Dancing Again Singers opened the
proceedings, followed by Siletz Tribal
member Apples Lane singing The Star
Spangled Banner. Roger Robertson, local
radio personality, was the ring announcer.
Ring girls for the event were Chinook
Winds employees - Siletz Tribal member
Sasha Shoemake and Angie Ross.
Most of the boxers came from the
Northwest and three had fought
previously at Chinook Winds at the first
Battle at the Beach in November 2002.
