By John RittenhouseHistory was made during Thursday’s boys’ basketball game between Lincoln HI and Ellsworth in Ellsworth.Cody Schilling, an EHS sophomore, became the school’s youngest athlete to reach the 1,000-point club during the course of a 91-59 victory over the Rebels.Schilling, who started playing varsity ball as an eighth-grader, needed 23 points to reach the milestone heading into Thursday’s game.After a 16-point effort in the first half, Schilling converted a field goal and three-point play in the first three minutes of the second half to move within two points of 1,000.When he was fouled during a shot at the 13:46 mark of the second half, Schilling calmly sank two free throws to join five former EHS boys and one girl as a 1,000-plus-point scorer.Cody’s older brother, Curt Schilling, netted his 1,000th-point in December of 2002. He later became the first EHS player to score more than 2,000 points as a senior in 2004.Brant Deutsch and Dylan Kvaale joined the 1,000-point club in 2003, three months after Jenna Groen became the first EHS girl to reach the milestone. Scott Heidebrink (Class of 1994) and Chad Boom (Class of 1987) are the other members of the fraternity.Along with making EHS history, Schilling helped a talented EHS team register its 12th straight win, a 31-point thumping of the Rebels.LH played with the Panthers for 10 minutes, but EHS turned the contest into a rout after that.Ellsworth never trailed in the game and led by as many as seven points early before LH trimmed the difference to three points (22-19). The Panthers countered with a 26-7 run that ended with Bryan Kramer sinking a free throw with less than two minutes remaining in the first half to give EHS a 48-26 advantage.LH trimmed the difference to 20 points (50-30) by halftime, but the Rebels were unable to challenge the Panthers in the second half as EHS outscored the visitors 41-29 to win handily.Along with scoring 27 points, Schilling led the Panthers with nine assists. Aaron Van Der Stoep, Kramer, Ben Herman and Wayne Jansma chipped in 20, 12, 11 and 10 points respectively to the winning effort. Weston DeBerg pulled down seven rebounds and Van Der Stoep notched four steals.Box scoreNolte 0 0 0-0 0, DeBerg 3 0 0-0 6, Deutsch 0 0 1-2 1, Kramer 5 0 2-3 12, Schilling 11 0 5-5 27, Matejske 0 0 0-0 0, Van Der Stoep 3 4 2-2 20, Herman 4 0 3-4 11, Klaassen 1 0 0-0 2, Chapa 2 0 0-0 4, Lindemann 0 0 0-0 0, Kix 0 0 0-0 0, Golombiecki 0 0 0-0 0, Jansma 5 0 0-0 10.Team statisticsEllsworth: 38 of 69 field goals (55 percent), 13 of 16 free throws (81 percent), 36 rebounds, 12 turnovers.LH: 20 of 48 field goals (42 percent), 12 of 18 free throws (67 percent), 13 rebounds, 14 turnovers.

Pheasant Oct. 14
Spring Wild Turkey April 12
Fall Wild Turkey Oct. 18-22
Fall Wild Turkey Oct. 25-29Big Game:
Bear Sept. 1
Deer archery Sept. 16
Deer firearms Nov. 4
Deer Muzzleloader Nov. 25Furbearers:
Fox, raccoon,badger, opossum Oct. 21
Mink, muskrat,beaver, otter Oct. 28
Fisher, marten, bobcat Nov. 25The waterfowl season opener will not be finalized until this summer.If you have comments about wildlife hunting and trapping seasons, the DNR will be holding meetings around the state during February and March. Dates will be set in late January.It’s not just about first classAs most of you have heard, the new rates for a first-class stamp went from 37 cents to 39 cents for a one-ounce first-class letter on Monday.In case you’re interested, here are the new and improved prices for other commonly mailed items:First class 2 oz. (old) – 60¢ (new) – 63¢Postcards (old) – 23¢ (new) – 24¢Priority Mail (old) - $3.85 (new) - $4.05Express Mail (old) - $13.65 (1/2 lb.) (new) - $14.40Express Mail (old) $17.85 (2 lb.) (new) $18.80This is the first time the U.S. Postal Service has raised its prices since 2001.According to the Postal Service, Congress passed a law in 2003 requiring the Postal Service to establish a 3.1 billion escrow account, with the use of the funds to be determined by Congress at a later date.Without the federal mandate for the escrow account, the 2006 increase in postal rates would not have been necessary.After adjusted for inflation, the cost of a first-class stamp is the same as it was in 1971, the year the Postal Service was created.Publisher Roger Tollefson can be reached by e-mail at tolly@star-herald.com

Healthy living — do it for the team or at least for the childrenThis is a big week for the 12 members of the Star Herald’s Big Loser campaign. After 16 weeks, participants lost an average of 31 pounds each and report feeling better than ever.The rest of us, tracking their progress in the weekly Star Herald reports, watched in amazement as the pounds fell off. On the street we congratulated them on their efforts and asked them what was working for them.Most of them simply reported that they’d quit unhealthy habits (such as junk food and inactivity) and picked some healthy ones (such as nutritious food and exercise).It’s been a fun campaign that’s had good support, but let’s face it — did we really learn anything new to apply to our own lives?For the past decade, we’ve been bombarded with the keys to healthy living and a smaller dress size:oa balanced, low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables contributes to a healthier, smaller body.oexercise not only burns calories, but in the long term it speeds metabolism in general and markedly improves vitals such as blood pressure and cholesterol.This is not new information, and anyone who learned that from the Star Herald Big Loser campaign hasn’t been paying attention for the past 10 years.There are a few things worth noting, though, from the program:
Teamwork builds accountability,
Reporting weekly results in the newspaper builds even more accountability. All the participants said this was good incentive each week.Why is the Star Herald doing this and why should our readers care? Actually our general manager, Rick Peterson, started it because he wanted to lose weight himself. But the broader reason for anyone to care is that obesity is truly becoming a national health crisis. Two out of three U.S. adults are overweight, and one in three is obese, costing millions of dollars to treat resulting health problems, such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke.If that still isn’t incentive to try to live healthier, think about the children.As with anything else, children take their cues from adults, and obese adults are — not surprisingly — raising obese children.If they see us frequently eating fast food and munching on high-fat snacks on the couch every night, what do we expect them to do with their lives?Kids aren’t likely to follow the Star Herald’s Big Loser campaign, but they will observe what’s happening in their homes.We can all do them a favor by putting a little green on our plates at the dinner table and by spending a little less time on the couch as a family.

We’re in the middle of winter. For me, one of the highlights of this season will be the Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. I’ve already scratched the dates into my calendar: Feb. 10 to 26. I want to make sure I take some time to watch the events on TV and do some reading about them in the press. Why? I think the Olympics Games are more than a cultural and sporting moment. They are also a spiritual event. I try to picture how God will observe the Winter Olympics. The Lord God will bless the beauty of the setting in his creation — the Italian Alps, very beautiful mountains and valleys. He will delight in so many people of many cultures and places coming together in peace. He will give breath and life and talent to all the athletes. He will lavish energy upon all the fans. He will be present in each of the chapels set up for the athletes and for everyone else. The Lord will scatter joy everywhere, and he will mend any wounds and injuries that are sure to happen. All the throbbing hearts and energetic faces will give God pleasure. I’m going to ask the Lord to feed my soul during the Olympic Games — to strengthen my passion for peace, my zeal to live life fully, my courage to take risks for his sake, to appreciate the gifts and talents in all the world’s peoples. I want to be a better person for having watched and engaged in some way in the Turin Winter Olympics. The heart of winter holds remarkable spiritual opportunities. Imagine God having a great hope for each of us: that this winter be a rich time for us. I hear God saying, "Don’t let this winter go to waste. Open your eyes and look about. I have surprises for you."

Golf Club MeetingThe following appeared in the Rock County Herald on March 7, 1930:MEMBERS OF GOLF CLUB HOLD ANNUAL MEETINGThree Members of Board of Governors Elected — Dues for 1930 to Remain Same as for Last SeasonThe annual meeting of the Luverne Golf club was held Monday evening at the Commercial club rooms, with a far smaller attendance than the interest shown during the playing season would lead one to expect. As one member suggested, there probably will be a larger crowd of members on the golf course next Sunday, if present weather continues, than found at the meeting.Three members of the board of governors were elected at the meeting, two for a term of three years and one for a term of one year. D. W. Danforth and Charles Merrill were chosen for the three-year terms, and F. F. Michael for the one-year term. Other members of the board are Dr. C.O. Wright, J.M. Rustad, Dr. G.V. Butler and J.W. Ulrich. The board is expected to meet in a few days to elect officers and organize for the ensuing year.Membership fees for 1930 were fixed at the same figures as last year, they being $15 for men and $5 for women.Donations to the Rock County Historical Endowment Fund can be sent to the Rock County Historical Society, P.O.
