New bridge will add
By Dave McMechan
Spilyay Tymoo
Construction of a $1.2 mil
lion bridge will be the final phase
of the Webster Flat Road
project.
If all goes as planned, the
new bridge will be open to traf
fic by late this summer or early
fall.
Funding for the bridge
project comes from the BIA.
The bridge will be located a bit
upstream from the Culpus
Bridge.
Culpus Bridge will not be re
moved, and instead will be de
signed for use by pedestrians
and bicyclists, said Travis Wells,
tribal engineer.
Tribal Construction and
Project Engineering teams last
year built Webster Flat Road.
This $3.5 million roadway runs
approximately 4.4 miles from
Highway 3 in the Wolf Point
area to the Warm Springs River,
in the immediate area of the
Culpus Bridge.

Warm Springs youth travel to Tacoma for boxing
By Austin Smith
Boxing coach
At Tacoma, Washington two
Warm Springs Nation Boxing
Club boxers, Leander Smith and
Jasper Smith, got on the scales
early Saturday morning and
again early Sunday morning.
Both athletes not only made
their weight classes, but they also
did good when the boxing com
petition started.
Not both winners but both
were very good competitors.
Being competitive and being
able to display that is always
most entertaining. People enjoy
1 the action of someone they
''know personally and it's always ,
the same feeling when its all over
and you're walking away. Some
times you do good and some
times you do better. It's how the
sport is played that makes the
better difference.
Leander lost two hard fought
matches. He was entered up as
an 80 lb novice boxer, but he
was the only contestant in that
competitive division. He became

Tribal engineer Travis Wells stands by the Culpus Bridge, which
vide important new access to new bridge is needed, said Wells.
Kah-Nee-Ta High Desert Re- The Culpus Bridge, built in
sort and Casino. However, for 1957, is very narrow, and can
the project to be complete, a accommodate only a single lane
pion and received his prize to
that title.
The same thing happened
with Jasper and he brought
home that place at the 106 lb
division. Next year he might
have to defend that title if he
enters the tournament and is still
at 106 lbs.
Since we drove so far and
wanted nothing more than to
compete at the sport of boxing
we decided to jump into another
match-bout division. This is
where two boxers can be within
two years of age of one another,
yet must be within 5 and 7
pounds of each other. The ex
' perience between the boxers is
put into the hands of the boxer's
manager.
I witnessed a boxer who had
only 9 previous matches go up
against another who had 175
previous matches. The boxer
with 9 matches beat the boxer
with 175 matches. Doesn't seem
right and yet that's how odds
work sometimes.
I like boxing because it's a
matter of how you are and not
so much who you might be.

with the nature of the athlete
and destroy the sport or try to
control the nature of it all and
destroy everything.
On Saturday February 1
Tacoma had a 110 lb., Ricardo,
who earlier in the season was
defeated by our 106 lb., Jasper.
So, a match was egg'ed on by a
Tacoma coach. It was a good
second try by the Tacoma club
boxer, but Jasper already had his
rounds figured. But he stated
that Ricardo had a hard right
hand and fought even harder
this time.
Leander moved to the open
&vtionwd;ljrid;two g6cd Wuts,1
one on Saturday, and one on Sun
day. With two Tacoma boxers, one
was Jerell at 75 lbs., and the other
was Taylor at 80 lbs. Both were
champions in their weight class
divisions and more than likely team
sparring partners.
Leander didn't win either
match but he did leave both
boxers waiting. Leander said he
needs to spar more, and he's
right. Sparring is a problem out
here in the not so populated ar
eas of the boxing world.

The new bridge support
would consist of eight precast
concrete girders.
Past the river Webster Flat
Road will intersect with Route
8, the road that runs past the
Kah-Nee-Ta Golf Course.
The design plans call for a re
alignment of Route 8 in the area
where the 8 will intersect with
the new road. Webster Flat Road
is expected to carry the heavier
traffic load, and for this reason
Webster Flat Road should not
come to a "T" at the less busy
Route 8. Instead, Route 8 will
be aligned so that it comes to a
"T" at Webster Flat Road.
