RTR 73 HBC 59
The Lady Pates came up just short in their first Section 3A matchup of the year Monday, Nov. 29, in Tyler. The Knights’ physical play led them to a 14-point victory over H-BC. 
The Patriots were led in scoring by senior Kenadie Fick (24 points, eight rebounds and assists) and sophomore Lanae Elbers (14 points).
Elbers was also able to complete a triple double by adding 10 rebounds to go along with 10 blocked shots.
“Lanae did a great job protecting the paint for us, but we got dominated on the boards,” said coach Dylan Gehrke.
“I liked the way we hustled after the ball all game long. We were on the ground going after every loose ball.”
The Patriots were able to cut the Knights’ lead to single digits on a few occasions throughout the game before falling 73-59.
Olivia Bork (8 points) and Larissa Steinhoff (6 points) also helped out the Patriots on the offensive side of the ball.
Hills- Beaver Creek will host Murray County Central for their home opener next Thursday, Dec. 9.

There is no greater supporter of public lands and public lands hunting than me.
You have certainly heard me say this before. With the great gift of public lands comes the responsibility to care for them and manage them to their highest potential. Most citizen-owned lands in my part of the state are managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and they do a fine job with the limited resources they are allotted every year. They take care of the habitat and make all of the wildlife management decisions.
The other side of the equation is the care of the property outside of habitat management. This responsibility falls squarely on the shoulders of every person who steps on the land. It seems that not all of the citizen-owned land utilizers understand or feel this same responsibility.
I have a few citizen-owned land rules that I follow and would expect every other user to follow as well. As you all know, it is a very small 5 percent of any population that makes life for the other 95 percent more difficult. My rules are not written down anywhere, but they should be in the memory of any person who calls themselves a hunter/conservationist.
The first rule is pick up your trash. Leave the area just like you found it. In fact, leave the area better than you found it. This can be as small as getting back out of the truck to pick up a sheet of paper towel that fell out when you got in. Too often I see users just not really give a hoot if they act like slobs.
These citizen-owned lands are often used for dumping sites for furniture and other big stuff like micro-waves and mattresses. They are not lighted so a person can get in and out without being seen. Last year I traveled my entire county and towed an ATV trailer behind my Ranger and in a day I filled it to capacity.
The other thing I have seen this season that is totally unacceptable is folks cleaning birds in the parking lot. This act alone is not an offense if done properly. Many hotels have no cleaning facilities so the hunter makes due with an outside cleaning site. Make sure you bag all of the remains and dispose of it properly. I have seen bird carcasses just tossed in the tall grass next to the parking area and my dogs, or the next hunter’s dogs, will find that right away and start on those remains as an afternoon snack.
Leaving any bird parts is a total breach of public land etiquette. A few little feathers floating around should be the only indication you were even there.
Cigarette butts are another peeve of mine.  I smoke a little here and there, but I never leave a butt behind. It takes 10 years for a cigarette butt to decay. Police those butts and keep the spot looking good for the next user.
The last public lands “shall do” item is to share the space. If there is already someone else that beat you to the spot, move on to the next one. Pulling in 10 minutes before shooting time on a weekend and piling up a group that has been waiting in the spot for two hours is totally uncool. If the hunting spot is a large one that can handle more than one party, I ask the person who was there first which direction they intend to go, and then I go in the opposite direction.
There is nothing that can kill a great day outdoors better than a group showing up really late and walking in on top of your party, causing unsafe hunting conditions. A quarter of a mile separation between hunting groups is an absolute must.
None of these items are very difficult to do and adhere to, but not all users practice them correctly. Be the responsible user and make sure that other users can have the same great experience that you had.
There is about one month left of chasing roosters, and the bird numbers are pretty solid in most areas. Get out there and take advantage of this gift, and make sure when you leave, no one can even tell you were there.

LHS senior Tenley Nelson will continue her cross country running close to home, as she recently accepted an athletic and academic scholarship from Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Nelson joined the Division II college team because the decision felt right to her.
“Augustana felt really similar to Luverne in a sense that it was more of a family than just a team,” she said. “I felt welcomed at Augie right away by the team and the coaches, and they all made me feel like I was already part of their team.”
Augie coach Tracy Hellmen looks forward to Nelson running for Augie.
“Tenley has hit some very strong marks that should put her in a position to make an immediate impact within our program,” Hellmen said. “Team success is the focal point of our program, and Tenley brings a team-first mentality to Augustana.”
Nelson led Luverne to a third-place team finish at this fall’s state cross country meet. Individually Nelson finished second in the Class A race.
Similarly, Augustana’s women’s cross country team placed third at the NCAA championships this fall, the team’s best finish since 2012.
Nelson plans to major in exercise science with plans to study physical therapy.

What is so powerful about a manger located in a barn holding a baby that is sleeping?  Almost all, if not everyone, in the United States has at least a basic understanding of the Christmas account in the Bible.
Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
It is the only birthday that has been celebrated for 2000 years. Holiday retail sales in 2019 generated $789.4 billion dollars. All because of a baby born in a barn. No other person has ever made such an impact on the world.
Today efforts are made to ignore the reason for the season, but the birth of Christ keeps being highlighted no matter how ferociously people try to cover it up. Santa, “xmas”, naughty and nice are common words, but the manger scene is always present.
The child lying in the manger caused angels to announce his birth to the shepherds in the fields saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased.”  Sometime later, wise men came from the east bringing gifts and, most importantly, worshiping this child that was born in a manger. 
This child in the manger caused King Herod such fear that he ordered the death of every child two years and younger, all in an effort to keep control of his kingdom. The child Jesus was not interested in taking King Herod’s place on the throne.  He wants to be king of our lives.
Failing to see Jesus as more than a historical figure is like looking at the sky on a clear day and not seeing the sun that is warming your face. 
The baby Jesus is the all-glorious Son of God. He gives hope to the hopeless. He strengthens the weak of heart. He gives joy to the sorrowful. He gives life to the spiritually dead.
The first advent is about Jesus coming to live a sinless life and going to the old rugged cross, dying for our sins. The second advent brings a new heaven and a new earth. There death will be no more. There sin will face its final death and confinement. 
Jesus came 2000 years ago, born in a manger, but soon and very soon he is coming again with the trumpet announcing his arrival. 
This advent season remember that He came to save you, and He is coming again to give you rest.

With a deadly open-water season nearly in the rearview mirror, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reminds everyone that lakes and ponds throughout the state have started to freeze – and that where ice hasn’t formed, the water is dangerously cold. It’s up to all people to choose to stay safe around the water or ice, according to the DNR.
Where there is ice, its thickness this time of year is highly variable and subject to the whims of Mother Nature. And where ice hasn’t formed – or where it freezes at night and opens during the day – the water temperature is so low that an unexpected fall in can be deadly.
As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, it’s vital that parents talk with their kids about staying safe. With a couple of days off from school, it’s natural for kids to want to be outside, and water and ice tend to be a natural draw.
“There’s nothing worse than when a time of year that should be festive turns tragic,” said Lt. Adam Block, boating law administrator for the DNR Enforcement Division.
“Teaching your kids to be vigilant around the water this time of year – and doing the same yourself – isn’t just a good idea. It’s an absolute necessity.”
Anglers and others who recreate on the ice should stay on shore until there’s at least 4 inches of new, clear ice. Anytime people are on the ice, they should check its thickness every 150 feet. Block urges people to check ice thickness for themselves rather than deciding to walk on the ice based on what they’ve heard or read.
Each year, unexpected falls into cold water lead to serious injury and death. Wearing a life jacket is the best way to avert tragedy, since the initial shock of falling into cold water can incapacitate even strong swimmers.
Carrying a good set of ice picks can help a person get out if they fall through the ice, and a cell phone, whistle or other communications device makes it more likely they will be able to call for help.
 
General ice safety guidelines
No ice can ever be considered “safe ice,” but following these guidelines can help minimize the risk:
•Always wear a life jacket or float coat on the ice (except when in a vehicle).
•Carry ice picks, rope, an ice chisel and tape measure.
•Check ice thickness at regular intervals; conditions can change quickly.
•Bring a cell phone or personal locator beacon.
•Don’t go out alone; let someone know about trip plans and expected return time.
•Before heading out, inquire about conditions and known hazards with local experts.
The minimum ice thickness guidelines for new, clear ice are:
•4 inches for ice fishing or other activities on foot.
•5-7 inches for a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle.
•8-12 inches for a car or small pickup.
•12-15 inches for a medium truck.
•Double these minimums for white or snow-covered ice.
