Karen Buus, age 87, of Luverne, Minn., died on Monday, Sept. 7, 2026, at the Luverne Hospice Cottage. 

The Luverne Convention & Visitors Bureau has announced the May-June winners of the 2026 Red, White and Blue photography contest. 

The theme is a nod to this year’s observance of America’s 250th birthday. 

This past Monday was Labor Day. Hopefully it was a good day of rest from your regular daily labor. 

Sometimes we get so busy and have so many responsibilities, we struggle to rest. 

We convince ourselves that we have way too much to do and don’t have time to rest.
