The Hills Community Club is planning a weekend of festivities in June for all ages to enjoy.The group has combined the annual Friendship Days with H-BC’s all-school reunion. As in the past, the Community Club events remain open to all residents interested in participating.To make planning easier and help the weekend run more smoothly, the group is asking individuals to pre-register for many of the events. In addition, the group needs help from volunteers. The school has offered the assistance of many students, but there are still plenty of adult volunteer positions that need to be filled.The group has coordinated with the school to offer free shuttle service throughout town on Saturday. Visitor parking will be on the football field at the south end of town. School buses will stop at the parking area on a regular basis, as well as the city park, the school and the Rez. Volunteers are needed to monitor the parking area throughout the day. Groups or couples interested in volunteering for one-hour shifts can contact members of the Community Club.The group is also looking for volunteers to help clean up after the street dance on Saturday night.In addition to events that require pre-registration, the group plans to have other options for folks that show up for the day.Schedules with times and locations will be posted throughout the area in the upcoming weeks. The Crescent will continue to update residents on the latest news for both Friendship Days and the all-school reunion.

By Sara QuamBeaver Creek Township may play a part in getting a new cell phone tower in the "dead zone" along Interstate 90 by the city of Beaver Creek.The city previously denied a request from Midwest Wireless to construct a new tower on city property. In order to get the phone service, Rock County Commissioners stepped in with the idea to use county property that’s within the city of Beaver Creek to allow Midwest Wireless to put up a tower.The city would still have to grant a permit, but wouldn’t be involved in lease or purchasing negotiations.Real estate specialist for Midwest Wireless, Andy Bobrytzke, said Wednesday, "We definitely want to do this. If we can work it out with the land transfer and with the city — we will get this done."Assistant County Attorney Mike Schnider said there is an exception to the law requiring counties to bid projects like this. The county has the right to convey the property (less than two acres) to Beaver Creek Township, which then can lease the land, if putting it to public use.Cell phones may be considered public use because they can dial 911 without being under a phone contract.Schnider said a Minnesota Supreme Court case in 2006 upheld a case in which an electric co-op erected a tower under eminent domain and that was considered public use.Rock County will further solidify the claim that the cell phone tower is for public use by reserving space for a repeater that is used for emergency services.

By John RittenhouseRiding the arms of pitchers Alison Brands and Kelsey Theesfeld, the Luverne softball team swept a double-header from Adrian Area Thursday in Luverne.In what has to be one of the most impressive days in LHS softball history, both Brands and Theesfled twirled no-hitters against an AA squad that was outscored 21-0 during the set.Brands overpowered the Dragons during a 6-0 win in the opener.The LHS senior fanned 13 batters over seven innings. She issued two walks in the game."It was pretty impressive," said Cardinal coach Steve Semmens about Brands’ performance."She was in control of her pitches and she pretty much overpowered their hitters. It was the best game I’ve ever seen her throw."The Cardinals supported Brands by scoring single runs in the second and fourth innings and two runs in the third and fifth frames.Hannah Kooiker and Raganee Phommaracksa led the Cardinals’ offense by slapping two hits, scoring one run and driving in one run each.Amy Tiesler pitched six innings for AA and took the loss.Theesfeld shut down the Dragons during a 15-0 win in Game 2.The eighth-grader fanned six batters and walked two during a five-inning game that ended by the 10-run rule."Kelsey threw really well.

Kerri Fransman added two hits, three runs and one RBI. Brands, who charted one hit, scored four runs.Tiesler worked the first three innings on the mound for AA and was saddled with the loss. Samantha Lynn tossed the final two frames.

By John RittenhouseLuverne’s bid to win an outright Southwest Conference tennis championship was spoiled by Worthington Tuesday.The Cardinals and the Trojans, the league’s two undefeated teams with 3-0 and 2-0 marks entering Tuesday’s match, were playing for the title in Luverne.After the Trojans topped the Cards by three points, the best LHS can hope for is a share of the league crown.Luverne rolled to a five-run home win over Redwood Valley Thursday after losing a one-point match to Sioux Falls O’Gorman’s junior varsity team in Luverne Wednesday, April 26.The 4-5 Cards play in Pipestone tonight before playing matches in Granite Falls Saturday and Tuesday.Worthington 5,Luverne 2The Trojans saddled the Cards with their first SWC loss of the season Tuesday in Luverne.The teams split matches in singles, but Worthington swept LHS in doubles to win the contest."The teams were evenly matched," said Cardinal coach Greg Antoine."There were a lot of great points and some very tough matches. Worthington really moved the ball around on us. We seemed to be the ones that were always running and chasing it."Luverne’s wins came at first and second doubles, where David Nelson topped Jason Johnson (3-6, 6-2, 6-3) and Derek Boeve bested Quentin Dudley (2-6, 6-3, 6-4).Worthington’s Tim Miller bested Zach Sanderson in a three-set match (2-6, 6-3, 6-4) at third singles.

Everyone was fairly patient in setting up the next shot and making it count. We hit angles for points rather than trying to pound the ball into the court."LHS won all three doubles matches in straight sets.Heronimus and Sawtelle saddled Shane Gewerth and Kurt Larson with a pair of 6-0 setbacks at No. 1. Stegemann and Hoff notched 6-1 and 6-4 victories over Trevor Palusky and Taylor Maguire at No. 2.

They have a good idea what to do with the shot and they execute very well," said LHS coach Antoine.
