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.  Inside This Issue: Page 2: Representative Update.

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.

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.

Country Road Chronicles of West Segment April 2017 For Your Information 2017 Horseshoe League “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 So after childhood I began to hear fear of the Lord or fear of 3’s only. God. I came to believe it meant fear of punishment. I also For 1 point, horse shoe must be within one shoe length with learned as a young man that having fear or showing fear was measuring shoe wrapped around stake. 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. his loving presence in my life!
