Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon July 5, 2017 Page 7 From Warm Springs Nation Boxing Pi-Ume-Sha Treaty Days Boxing: What a fight! Which one? They were all good, close, hard fought matches in their first rounds, but many went the distance. Our curtain raiser came right after the introductions: Thank you for standing up for us and singing the USA National Anthem. Destiny Wewa has a beautiful voice. I also want to thank the ringside officials for their per- fect work: Time keeper Alvis W. Smith III, the bell ringer Aaron Winishut; and the three judges Bobby Eagleheart, Bob Rabbi and Bill Cochran. And thank you Deanie Johnson for the PA system. Can’t ring the bell without the first responders present: Thank you Fire and Safety for making sure. The curtain raiser was a draw: No one won the match between two 48-pound box- ers, the 5- and 6-year-olds. So they both got their ar ms raised to victory. Thank you Tim Wainanwit and David Combs for being in there as the third man. For the 2017 Treaty Days Boxing t-shirt artwork, do- nated by Foster Kalama: Thank you Foster for such a great creation. Also, I know the fans will remember the music that came from your flute, the people love you. Warm Springs Power and Water Enterprises and the Family Resource Center: We thank you again for the finan- cial donations. Until 2018 we pray to our Creator through our Washut as we are heard in hope, faith and love. We are blessed to be human.
