First Native American Professional Female Boxer Brings Title

Quotes For The Heart & Mind:





:Hatred paralyzes life; love

releases it. Hatred confuses

life; love harmonizes it.

Hatred darkens life; love

illuminates it.”~Martin

Luther King Jr.

Fox resides in West Segment on the Fort

Berthold Reservation, when she isn’t training.

She is a mother of two children, JorMar (6) and

Peyton (5). Who were in attendance of the

overwhelming crowd gathered in support of Fox.

“I’m ready. This opportunity will be a stepping

stone and open so many doors for my

professional career,” Fox stated before her

match against Ramsey. (10-7) Miami, FL.

“Joy does not simply

happen to us. We have to

choose joy and keep

c h o o s i n g

i t

everyday.”~Henri Nouwen~

Fox anxiously waited for her Quicksilver Hill

Promotions Main Event to approach as she

asked Coach Hill several times, “when can I

tape up, Coach?” It would be three more

matches before she could be released to the

ring. She took the taping of her hands from

Coach Hill in stride as she remained calm,

collected, and focused. Fox shared a locker

room with several other Quicksilver Hill

Promotions professional boxers each one

coming back with the win. Still, she remained

steady on her warm up.

April 3rd to April 6th, 2017. We would like to say Thank you to our West

Segment Council Representative Mr. Randy Phelan for supporting this

social activity for our elders. Also the elders staff who were graciously

helpful in assisting the elders. We were especially thankful for the Mystic

Lake staff Melanie Bench and the banquet staff who provided wonderful

rooms/guest services for our elders. Everyone enjoyed the trip and had a

good time.

We currently have a new cook who comes to us with much experience as

she has her catering business in the community and is married to a

community member. She is Pam Fox and is married to Mr. Chris Fox. We

look forward to many wonderful meals in service to our elders.

We have identified a new garden spot with a suggestion from the Chief Of

Staff, Mr. Delvin Reeves, who recommended a spot just southeast of the

Mandaree pow wow grounds. We have a lot of work to do such as fencing/

tilling and set up to get ready to plant. We look forward to creating a new

spot that hopefully will produce some fresh garden produce for this coming

summer.

Mission Statement:

“Providing quality services for

healthy aging, personal

independence, and social

connectedness through the Hiraaca

Elders Program with cultural

respect and dignity”.

For Your Information

Female Native American Female Boxer Continue

professional matches while going head to head with Ramsey. Fox was

determined to win or learn from this title shot. Ramsey is a seasoned

professional boxer which Fox said, “I feel like I can learn a lot from her in

this fight. She’s been boxing awhile now...I want to learn from this

[match].

Finishing her warm up, she doubled checked her pre-recorded walk out

music. Fox honors her Tribe by wearing a custom made cape with the

MHA Nation emblem on her back. Emerging from the locker room Fox

was greeted with a loud roar from her supporters, most drove from

across the state to be there.

Fox remained focused as she squared up with Lady Ram. Finally, after

several long months of training thousands of miles away from her

children, family and supporters. Fox finished each of the six rounds

strong with the sixth round being the detrimental nail in the coffin for

Ramsey. During the third round, Ramsey handed Fox a few tough shots

that would start her nose to bleed. The final round was quickly retaliated

by Fox serving Ramsey her seventh loss.

Cries of enthusiasm for Fox could be heard continuously in the Purpur

Arena. The boxers stood in the middle of the ring waiting for the judges

to announce the decision. They would choose unanimously in favor of

Fox. Again, she wore her tribal emblem on her back as the referee held

her arm up signifying her victory in becoming the first Native American

female to hold an ABO title.

The Quicksilver team erupted with emotion as they witnessed the only

female on their team win her first title. Fox gave the boxing ring a victory

lap, where supporters threw multicolored roses in the ring.

Fox stated, “I knew this fight wasn’t going to be easy. It was a hard fight.

This is my dream, to get a title fight.” Although she won, she was still

thinking of different moves she could have used during her match. She is

determined to continue making her dreams come true.

When asked how she felt about her win, she smiled and quietly said, “it

feels good.”

Quicksilver Hill Promotions will be holding boxing events within the next

couple of months in Bismarck.

“Fear of The Lord”

To Fear God is to seek to his

wisdom! Wisdom looks for God first

in all things. When I first heard the

word “fear”, I didn’t know what it

meant so I asked my parents. They

told me it meant your “scared” or

“afraid”. Processing this as a young

person I associated it with being

scared. I thought what would cause

fear? Fear of punishment, fear of

being hurt, and fear of failure.

Must be registered by 2:30 pm on May 16, 2017.

2 players plus an alternate per team. (3players).

No team swapping once you are registered with a team you can

only play with that team.

16 team spots are available.

League season will be 6 weeks long with a tournament on the

6th week.

League start date is May 2017.

Games will be played in front of tribal building.

End league date is June 2017.

Standard tournament scoring will be used. No leaners, 1’s and

a sign of weakness.

So there is Good fear and bad fear. Bad fear comes from a

misunderstanding of God’s love for us. The unbeliever thinks

fear of the Lord is fear of judgement from God and eternal

death which is eternal separation from God. The believer’s

fear of God is something much different. The believer’s fear is

reverence for God. Good fear means to love God and to seek

to live our lives in such a way that pleases God.

For 3 points, or ‘ringer’ both hooks must be across stake to

count.

If uncertain at any time of shoe scoring, do not touch shoe, call

for a judge and someone will assist you.

Judges’ ruling is final!

1 set will be played, a set is 3 games.

Scoring will be recorded after each game.

To fear God is to Love God, in Psalm 115 it states; “Those

who fear the Lord trust in the Lord, who is there help and

shield”. In the Catholic Catechism 1831 it states; “Therefore

we who are receiving the unshakable kingdom should

have gratitude, with which we should offer worship

pleasing to God in reverence and awe”.

Win 2 of the 3 games to receive the win for the week.

In hope of receiving the gift of eternal life with our maker and

creator, who is Jesus Christ. Eternal life with our family and

friends in Christ. Those who believe in the resurrection of

Jesus Christ that is what he wants for you and me. To fear the

Lord is to have reverence and awe for him in every moment of

our lives.

You are responsible for keeping your own score till the set is

over.

All 3 games must be played.

Games will be played with 10 rounds of throws, highest score

wins.

1 round of throwing is when you, your opponent, your team

mate, and your opponents team mate has all thrown.

If a team does not show they will receive a loss and no score for

the week, while the team they were to play against will still have

to throw their 3 games and keep a running score.

If any ties at the end of the season the highest points obtained

throughout the season will be the determining factor upon

Today, I believe in a loving God, my fear is that I would forget tournament placement.

God Bless,
