A������ D����� [email protected]

If things go according to plan, the Blaine Spring Creek Bridge reconstruc- tion will be completed before the end of October, according to Madison County commissioner Jim Hart. “We’ll keep our fingers crossed,” Hart said. “The steel truss is going up and they should be pouring the deck itself in a couple weeks.” All that will be left is finishing work – the contractor will clean up the ap- proaches, put the rail on and pave a portion of the road around the intersec- tion of Gravelly Range Road and Varney Road. The county received $700,000 in 2010 from a TSEP grant to replace the bridge, which is located just west of Varney Bridge near the Madison River south of Ennis. Though the project is estimated to cost more than $2 million when finished, the county is only responsible for around $250,000, per an agreement with the Montana Department of Transportation. The MDT will cover all expenses except for the $700,000 from the TSEP and the county’s contribution, Hart said. “We set aside $200,000 over the years, and we got $65,000 from private do- nations, to ensure the new bridge will look like the old one,” Hart said. In 2018, the county is going to progress with replacing Varney Bridge, Hart explained. “We already have a TSEP for $750,000 (for Varney Bridge),” he said. “MDT, as I understand, is applying for a (Federal Lands Access Program) grant.” That means recreationists can access the Varney fishing access site from either the highway or Varney Road next summer. “The county will likely have to do a bit of work on the planking to tide us over for a year and a half,” Hart said. “Then 2018 will be a challenge – we have not figured out how people will actually get into the fishing access site (while work is done on Varney Bridge) because the equipment and the construction site will most likely spill into the current access site.”

Knack rushed three times for 145 yards and three touchdowns to lead Ennis oŒ ensively. As a team, the Mustangs amassed 509 yards on oŒ ense, 387 rushing and 122 passing. Next week, Ennis has its second home game of the season against DGS (Denton/Geyser/Stan- ford). “(DGS was) last year’s six man champs,” said Mustang head coach Chris Hess. “ is is a must win for the divisional championship and they are a solid and disciplined football team.”

TWIN BRIDGES  e Falcons hit the road for the Bitterroot Valley on Sept. 9, where they defeated Darby, 22 – 0. “Our kids competed well against a solid team,” said head coach Brett Nordhal. “Our oŒ ensive and defensive lines faced much larger opponents but they kept battling every play and helped us get the win.” Falcon Trystan Harmon got things started on oŒ ense with a 53-yard touchdown run on Twin Bridges’ second oŒ ensive play. Next week, the Falcons welcome Clark Fork to Twin Bridges. “ ey use a wide range of oŒ ensive sets and motion so it is important that our guys know who they have on every play,” Nordhal said. “Our goal is to keep the ball in front of us and not get caught on any trick plays.”
