SHS Athlete Heading To Down Under Bowl In Australia
By Phyllis A. Muzeroll
e-Ticker News
CLAREMONT, NH--The height she has
marked in her bedroom is 5ʼ2”. Now, that may
not be a remarkable height for most people to
ponder on,
but in high
jumping for
a Stevens
High School
Senior,
thatʼs a goal
that Marion
Lovett has
set her
sights on.
And itʼs
likely one
she will
reach one
day.
In the
meantime,
Lovett is
training for
Marion Lovett
an adventure of a
lifetime: attending the 2016 Down Under Bowl
event in Australia in July. International Sports
Specialists, Inc. (ISSI) was founded in February, 1989, based on the dream of a New Zealander by the name of George O'Scanlon who
fell in love with athletics, especially American
football (gridiron) as a young man growing up
in his native country of New Zealand. His desire over the years has
been to promote gridiron, not only to the people of New Zealand, but
also to Australia where
he lived for many years.
For over 20 years, ISSI
has had the opportunity
to share the land Down
Under with tens of thousands of individuals
from across the United
States.
Scouted for her abilities in
track and field, and in particular, the high jump, Lovett was
invited to be one of several
hundred athletes from the
United States to participate in
the upcoming games. At the
Bowl, Lovett is planning to
concentrate on one event, the
high jump. When it comes to
sports, though, the high jump
and field hockey are her two
favorite events. Not only will
Lovett be representing Claremont and Stevens High
School, she will be one 300
athletes representing the United
States this summer.
Lovett said participating in the games will
give her the chance “to do something I love.
Itʼs going to be fun.” The event runs from July
4 through the 14, but she will be leaving on the
2nd, traveling with other athletes with whom
she will meet up at the airport. Her parents,
Robert and Charlene, will be traveling to Australia to see their daughter in action; Charlene
is the Mayor of Claremont. On the way back,
the team will be stopping for a visit in Hawaii,
something that Lovett is very excited about.
Lovett, who is 5ʼ10”, trains faithfully at her
sport and has “almost jumped five feet, which
is a record for the school. Iʼm aiming for 5ʼ2”,
which would be a new record.”
The cost of the trip for Lovett is around
(Continued on page B2)

Lovett, from B1
$5,000; thus far, she has raised $1,100 and is working
on fundraisers to help her raise the rest of the money.
Her parents have loaned her the money for the trip with
the understanding that she pays it back. She hopes to
have a table at the Farmers Market--from the ages of
10 to 14, she had a booth at the market, selling a variety of goods. She is also doing a “Youʼve Been
Flagged” fundraiser; with a $15 dollar donation, you can
choose someoneʼs house in the community to “flag”.
For 24 hours, their house will be decorated with American flags and pinwheels, in honor of Independence Day
(July 4th). After the 24 hours, the decorations will be
moved to another person's house. And on June 21st
and the 22nd, New Socials in downtown Claremont will
donate 10% of the profits made over these two days to
her fundraising goal.
When asked why she loves doing the high jump,
Lovett said, “I love the feeling of flying. I know that
sounds funny, but I love roller coasters and helicopters.
When I jump, itʼs been to see how high I can get. I
used to be a fan of running, but now I have a passion
for the high jump.” Lovettʼs athletic abilities have not
gone unnoticed; a scout one time noted that it was impressive that a sophomore had made State. She skips,
jogs and does back bends as part of her training for the
high jump and watches tapes of the Olympics to get
pointers on how to improve her technique in her favorite
sport.
“If I can do five feet at the competition, I will be very
happy,” she said with a big smile.

One of the things my readers know me for is supporting any
cause or group that helps children. Sam's Ride is one of those
groups. They describe themselves as "…a group of motorcycle
riders who raise funds for the Sam Biggs Memorial Foundation.
It's all about childhood cancer awareness." This group is a fantastic group that I'm excited to promote. They hold bike ride
events to raise money for research, awareness, and families of
children who suffer various forms of childhood cancer.
I am especially proud of this organization because it was
started by some dear friends of mine when their cousin, Sam
Biggs, was diagnosed with cancer around March of 2014. Sam
passed away at the age of 7 in January of 2015 from hepatoblastoma, but before his death, his cousin Mackenzie Miller and her best friend Alexis Scroggins (then only 12-years-old themselves) asked their parents if they could create a fundraising bike ride to help Sam's parents with the costs of his treatment.
This came about because Mackenzie and Alexis' parents rode regularly, and the girls saw this as a great opportunity to put
those rides to good use. The first ride was in Bunker Hill, IL and raised around $300-$400 with only 2 riders and the girls spreading the word. The girls
then asked to do the same thing with another ride after a company picnic where their fathers worked a short time later, where they raised $800
through 10 riders. They were only asking for $20 donations, and no one there knew Sam. The second annual ride for 2015 raised $1000 for the Bunker Hill ride, and $1400 for a ride in Missouri. This year will mark the 3rd annual ride, and all of the proceeds will go to help children in Sam's memory.
One group that will benefit is Friends of Kids with Cancer.
The most amazing thing about this foundation is that it is completely operated by these two
incredible young ladies, now age 14. They make nothing from this other than the joy of knowing they are making a difference. This year, one biker
group is likely to bring in 20-30 riders, with another bringing in another 75. That is over 100 riders. Great work for a fund raising group that was created and is currently being run by two 14-year-old girls. Plus, riders from other states are asking about how they can get involved as well.
I asked Mackenzie, "How does it feel to have created such a great organization to help kids like Sam?" Her answer was simple, "It feels absolutely
great, because it shows the families of these children that they're not alone and we care about them. It feels amazing knowing that I'm helping out
families who go through this." Having grown up with this amazing young lady's mother, I'm not at all surprised that she and her friend have hearts that
are so full of love. What is amazing to me, however, is seeing how they have built this fund raising group from the ground up by convincing a group of
bikers to ride for childhood cancer, and showing the world at the same time the big hearts that make up today's biker groups. The adults are simply,
as Mackenzie's father, Thomas, told me, "babysitting it until they are old enough to do it on their own." The girls call all the shots. As Thomas said,
"This is their baby." Brings tears to my eyes to imagine how sweet Sam is smiling down on these girls and their hard work right now.
This year's annual event is the 3rd Annual Benefit for the Sam Biggs Memorial Foundation. All proceeds will go directly to the foundation for childhood cancer awareness, research, and helping families deal with the effects and costs of childhood cancer. According to a statement from the foundation, they "…plan on being able to raise funds for all types of cancer, specifically stage 4 hepatoblastoma [a form of liver cancer]." There will be
food and drink venders as well as door prizes for raffles. The event will be held Saturday, August 6th, from 9:30 - 6:00. For more details on this event,
please visit their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/events/1729597927279521/.
The foundation is still early in its creation and still trying to obtain their tax id number. They do have their bylaws and are licensed as a non-profit by
the government. However, it takes thousands of dollars to do all of this, and the families who work with this foundation do everything out of pocket.
They could use all the help they can get. Both truck drivers and bikers are coming together for this foundation's success, so please spread the word
and do what you can to help.

Moody Park Marks
100th Anniversary With
Special Events
CLAREMONT, NH--June 2016 marks an important anniversary for the City of Claremont
and the Parks and Recreation Department. It
was 100 years ago that William Moody donated a portion of his property to the residents
of Claremont to be used as a free public park.
Since then, Claremont residents and others
from surrounding communities have enjoyed
many hikes, picnics, bike rides, and times
spent relaxing in the park. In 2013-2014, the
selective timber harvest, as part of the Cityʼs
forest management plan changed the landscape of Moody Park.
“We are going into the 3rd year after the timber harvest and new growth in the park has
been prevalent,” explained Mark Brislin, Director of Parks and Recreation. “Upgrades to existing trails and the addition of new trails have
sparked a new excitement within the park and
the view of Mount Ascutney from the top of
Moody Park has been reclaimed,” he added.
Throughout the month of June, the Parks and
Recreation Department and other various
groups within the community will be offering
programs to help celebrate the 100-year anniversary and showcase the many uses of
Moody Park.
Below is a list of programs that will be offered throughout the month of June. Please
be sure to visit the departmentʼs website at
www.claremontparks.com for up to date information or call the Parks and Recreation Department for more information at 542-7019.
Events through June 30. From dawn to dusk
there will be a story walk. Meet at Shady
Pines Loop (1/4 of a mile, on the right from
main gate). This is a fun, self-guided, educational activity that places a children's story

June Programs At The Fiske
Finding Butterflies! With Jerry Schneider
Tuesday, June 28, 10:00 a.m.
Jerry Schneider will present a slide presentation of Eastern Butterflies. Audiences will learn
the importance of leaving the screen and electronics behind, getting out in the fields, back
roads and waterways, and investigating places
where butterflies find food and lay their eggs.
In addition, we will discuss differences between butterflies and moths, where to find butterflies and how to attract butterflies to our
gardens. We will learn interesting butterfly
facts and behaviors-did you know that butterflies taste with their feet? Or that the Viceroy
butterfly, looks like the Monarch and is protected because birds tend to avoid the poisonous and distasteful Monarch?
After the slide show, children will create their
own butterfly tee shirts (heavy 100% cotton)
using a combination of Rit fabric dye sprays,
plants, and butterfly cut outs. Children may
purchase heavy cotton shirts for $4.00, or
bring their own. Sponsored by: the Friends of
the Fiske Free Library; 542-7017.

Free Screening Of Raising New

NEWPORT, NH--The public is invited to a
free screening of the Granite State documentary, “Raising New Hampshire: The Early
Years”. The screening will be held at the Sugar
River Bank Community Room, 10 North Main
St, Newport, on June 23 at noon. The film was
produced by New Hampshire Public TV and
the Endowment for Health.
Early learning doesn't just begin at kindergarten. It starts at birth. The film explores the
science behind early childhood development in
the Granite State. It also shows the challenges rural and urban communities are facing
when it comes to educating families on the importance of early learning. And it highlights
the programs across the state helping New
Hampshire's children be healthy, smart and
successful in all stages of their lives. One of
the programs that the film highlights is the
home visiting work of TLC Family Resource
Center. The 30-minute video will be followed
by a 30-minute community discussion.
This event is sponsored through a partnership with TLC Family Resource Center, Sugar
River Bank and Sullivan County. There is no

AKRON, OH--The New Hampshire Fisher
Cats couldn't avoid the sweep Sunday afternoon, falling 2-1 in 10 innings on Father's Day
to the Akron RubberDucks at Canal Park in Akron.
The Fisher Cats (29-39) dropped to a
season-worst 10 games below .500 with the
loss, their seventh walk-off loss of the season.
The RubberDucks (41-29) completed their first
sweep of New Hampshire since June 4-6 of
2013 in Akron. Dwight Smith, Jr. extended his
hitting streak to 16 games with a first-inning
single, matching a career-long stretch and
moving into a tie for third place all-time for a
Fisher Cat.
Akron took the early lead in the bottom of the
first inning against Fisher Cats starter Casey
Lawrence, who issued a one-out walk to Bradley Zimmer. The speedy Zimmer then stole
second and third, coming in on a two-out single by Nellie Rodriguez to give Akron the 1-0
lead.
New Hampshire evened it up in the top of
the third against Akron starting pitcher Rob
Kaminsky. Wilkin Castillo led off the frame with
a double to deep left and moved to third on a
sacrifice bunt. Roemon Fields then punched a
single to left, scoring Castillo and tying the
game 1-1.
The score stayed knotted up until the bottom
of the tenth inning, as reliever Jason Berken
(L, 2-7) surrendered a leadoff single to Jeremy
Lucas. With new reliever Matt Dermody in the
game, Jordan Smith socked a triple to right,
plating Lucas for the winning run.
Lawrence earned a no-decision, allowing a
run on four hits and two walks over six innings.
His nine strikeouts matched a career high.
Berken took the loss despite three innings of
good relief, giving up a run on three hits and
fanning one. Dermody failed to retire the only
batter he faced.
The Fisher Cats will try to right the ship
Monday night against the Erie SeaWolves,
with righty Casey Lawrence starting for New
Hampshire against Akron lefty Rob Kaminsky.
First pitch from Canal Park is at 2:05 p.m., and
Ben Gellman has the call starting at 1:45 p.m.
on the Fisher Cats Radio Network.
