- May 21, 2019To the Editor: Our governor has proclaimed May as Poppy Month. What exactly does that mean? It means that many Minnesotans have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom and it is only fitting we recognize those courageous veterans. The American Legion Auxiliary, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the VFW Auxiliary have adopted the poppy as their commemorative symbol. These poppies create a…
- April 30, 2019To the Editor: We have always taken pride in the many positive features of living in Luverne. We are grateful for the snow removal that is done so soon after a snowfall. In most instances the downtown businesses and homes are well maintained. Our parks are always neat and inviting for picnics, walking or just sitting for a while to relax. Residents are pleasant and friendly. “Minnesota nice”…
- July 31, 2018To the Editor: There are a few general thoughts I wanted to share as the circus — ahem, election — season is really getting underway. First, regardless of your affiliation — and regardless of what the national news media and political parties that thrive off of our division would have you believe — we’re all people. We all deserve basic respect even if we vehemently disagree with each other on…
- July 17, 2018To the Editor: The progressives would like to open our borders to everyone who would like to come on board. Some would even get rid of immigration agents themselves. Part of the reason they say we need to do this is the fact that we need more workers. I find this more than curious. This is the same outfit that literally throws hundreds of thousands of little new baby Americans out with the…
- October 09, 2017To the Editor: When I read Superintendent Oftedahl’s editorial in the Sept. 21 issue of the Star Herald (Nov. 7 referendum asks district residents to make a difference), I couldn’t help but smile and nod to myself in agreement. Supt. Oftedahl said, “The idea of making a difference is essential to education.” I’m raising my children to make a difference — and Luverne Public Schools teachers and…
- September 26, 2017To the Editor: We want to let everyone know how proud we are of our beautiful and clean city. Hats off to the city of Luverne, Chamber of Commerce, business owners and to all others who do their part to make this possible. We hear many compliments from visitors to our city. Yes, we “Love Luverne” and are proud and blessed to be residents here. Connie Wieneke The Pool and Coffee Pals Luverne P.S.…
- September 05, 2017To the Editor: Once again we have to increase the debt ceiling. What is that? That’s when you spend more than you take in. Families go without — government just borrows more — they sell bonds. We borrow from Japan and China and must pay interest yearly. The rest we borrow from ourselves. Case in point. The Social Security Administration, which has accumulated a surplus since it was first set up…
- September 05, 2017To the Editor: We all here at the Tri-State Addition received our letters from the city of Luverne in regard to the storm water drainage study. Well, we all know how that’s going to turn out. I have received countless thanks sticking up for my neighborhood and the citizens of Luverne who enjoy the Roundwind Road neighborhood in which the city of Luverne has plans to destroy. I think it is time…
- August 22, 2017To the Editor: As the Third District V.F.W. Commander and Luverne Post 2757 Quartermaster, I would like to thank our V.F.W. baseball team and coaches for a great season. I was really impressed by your quality of ball playing. Keep up your great work, and I will be at Marshall in 2018 to cheer you on. Our team is championship quality. Buck Underwood Luverne
- October 31, 2016To the Editor: A good premise and instruction for any government and people in general is to take care of those less fortunate than themselves. Now our government is turning the tables and with the Affordable Care Act, our government is creating a new problem and portion of the population that no longer can afford the imposed upon regulations. The Affordable Care Act is due to implode on itself…
- October 17, 2016To the Editor: In this most unusual of political seasons, it continues to be a wonder to me that so many people who purport to be good Christians will, in fact, actually hate one or the other of our presidential candidates. Is there room for “hate” in politics, or otherwise, in the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Emphatically, there is not. Strong feelings? Yes, of course! But not hate. There is, I…
- September 26, 2016To the Editor: Politically correct. Seems like we hear that a lot, but when have our politicians actually been correct? Social security? Korea? Vietnam? Medicare? War on poverty? Energy policy? Taxes?? Spending?? National debt??? Middle East???? I thought it hit a new low when college students were criticized for handing out sombreros at a margarita party, but I may have been wrong. The…
By Betty Mann, President, Rock County Historical SocietySeptember 12, 2016The following appeared in the Rock County Herald on January 9, 1925. HAWES & SON WILL CONDUCT BIG REORGANIZATION SALE Ten-Day Bargain Sale to Start Next Wednesday. Preparatory to Re-arrangement of Departments. In preparation for the reorganization of Hawes & Son’s department store, necessitated by the closing out of the shoe and clothing departments and the death of Chas. O. Hawes,…- September 05, 2016To the Editor: My husband and I planted a pear tree four years ago in our backyard. We were told that it would take at least three years to get any pears on it. Last year we got two pears. This year the tree had between two to three dozen pears on it. We went out in the evening on Aug. 15 to look at the pears and decided to pick them the next afternoon. On the 16th we went out to pick them and…
- August 23, 2016To the Editor: The Luverne Area Chamber and CVB has successfully completed the 2016 Rock River Beerfest on Saturday, Aug. 20. With over 120 profiles of craft beer and wines, there were abundant flavors and tastes for everyone to enjoy. The day might have seemed flawless to the people who attended the event at the Blue Mound Ice Arena, but that wouldn’t have happened without a lot of hard work by…
- August 23, 2016To the Editor: I spent last week working in downtown Luverne and was amazed to see all the walking traffic. Whether it was the dad pushing a baby stroller, the postal worker, a day care provider taking her children on an adventure, customers heading to downtown stores or businesses , others heading to an appointment, a master walking his dog or people heading to a restaurant for lunch, I was…
