About two dozen local veterans attended the Veterans Day program Friday at Hills-Beaver Creek Secondary School, where they were treated as “everyday heroes.”
“I wanted the public to notice that veterans are everyday people — high school students, young adults, janitors, volunteers, business people,” said Randi Oftedahl, middle school teacher at H-BC.
The student-led ceremony featured four high school students — Oliva Bork, Malli Ternus, Britton McKenzie and Leif Tollefson — reading “Defining a Hero.”
Standing in front of the crowded secondary gymnasium were five community members — Dean Goettsch, Holly Sammons, Deb Hartz, Carter Abels and Carter Hartz — everyday people who live locally and are veterans, who served or are currently serving their country unselfishly.
Seated in two front rows were many members of the Hills American Legion Post #399 and other veterans. Each received a gift of appreciation from the school.
During the program elementary and secondary students sang and the high school band played patriotic songs in honor of the veterans.
Elementary students displayed patriotic artwork in the school’s entryway.

A third-grade teacher at Luverne Elementary was chosen by her peers as the 2023 Luverne Education Association Teacher of the Year.
Pam Christensen began teaching full time at Luverne Elementary in 2000. She’s spent all but one year teaching third-graders.
The annual announcement took place Monday in the Luverne Middle-High School commons and kicked off American Education Week.
“This week we celebrate everyone who works with our students,” said Amy Sahly, last year’s LEA Teacher of the Year. “Thank you for all the amazing work you do with and for our kids.”
The LEA also awarded the 2023 Friend of Education to the school custodial staff. See related story.
Sahly said the nominations for Christensen singled out her caring nature with both students and staff as to why they selected her as their top teacher.
“She genuinely cares about each student and has an individual approach to teaching.
“She has a way of helping each student feel loved and accepted. She treats each one of her students — even the challenging ones — with compassion, patience and respect while holding them accountable.
“She’s a great listener and take the time to listen to her students fully to understand them. She also displays these qualities with her coworkers.
“She has demonstrated a high level of professionalism and dedication that would be difficult for any to achieve.
“She is amazing.”
Christensen, an LHS Class of ’82 graduate, was influenced to make education her career choice by her teacher parents, the late Konrad and Barb Eidahl. Konrad taught sixth grade and Barb instructed preschoolers. Both inspired their second oldest child to be the best teacher possible.
“I was always drawn to teaching at the elementary level,” Christensen said. “Students at this age are excited about learning, and I am excited about helping them reach their potential.”
She stressed that getting to know her students through listening to them goes a long way in education.
“By getting to know my students, I am better equipped to teach to their strengths, identify and intervene on problems early, and find a balance for the different learning styles in class,” Christensen said.
“Teaching is a great platform to impact young lives with positivity, kindness and compassion. I look forward to meeting my new students every fall.”
Christensen and her late husband, Tim, have three adult children. Cody lives in Luverne, Matt in Chicago and Stephanie (Tim) Connell and daughter, Callie, live in Maui.
“I am proud to be a teacher in my hometown,” Christensen said. “It is my joy to be working with the wonderful staff and students at Luverne schools. All of us working together leads to great results.”

The custodial staff members at Luverne Public Schools say they are only doing their jobs, but the Luverne Education Association said they go above and beyond normal duties in their support of public education.
The 14 full- and part-time custodians were selected as the 2023 LEA Friends of Education Monday afternoon at an ice cream social to kick off American Education Week at Luverne schools.
“Because of these guys’ work and dedication, it makes my job easy,” said Cory Schmuck, buildings and grounds supervisor.
The custodians also make teachers’ jobs easier in the 420,000-square-foot elementary and middle-high school facilities, according to nominations submitted to the LEA selection committee.
“The custodians are wonderful. So much of what they do often goes unnoticed,” wrote one nominator.
“Besides taking care of the classrooms and hallways day-to-day, they are the ones setting up for concerts, games, events and other activities. They are the silent heroes that make our school a wonderful place.”
Other comments echoed these sentiments.
“They take tremendous pride in the school and work hard to keep it clean and safe.”
Some were more specific. For example: “The custodians are very helpful in helping unlock doors in the morning for students as well as cleaning snow off the parking lots.”
And: “(They are) always willing to go out of their way to help students. Example: Looking everywhere (basement) for a certain size lightbulb for a project.”
This year, student comments joined those of the teaching staff.
“Janitors have helped me and countless other students get their lockers open when the code slips our minds. Being a janitor is a thankless job and it takes a very special person to do it.”
At Monday’s plaque presentation in the middle-high school commons, the janitorial staff at the event received a standing ovation and applause.
Custodians and their years of service include Randy DeSplinter (10 years), Jason Brecher (12 years), Barry Shelton (11 years), Dwight Smedsrud (11 years), Ron Stuckenbroker (9 years), Kirk Terrio (3 years), Beryl Moser (1 year), Britton Stratton (1 year), Connor Gumto (6 years), Jonathon Dolo (1 year), David Cutshaw (1 year) and Cory Schmuck (1 1/2 years).
The LEA also honored the 2023 Teacher of the Year at Monday’s event. (see related story).

The Luverne Country Club opened Bogey’s Bar and Grill this fall with a variety of food and drink options, plus bar and patio seating available.
Manager Lisa Remme hosted a Luverne Chamber gathering Thursday morning, when she explained food and entertainment options.
“We just added a kids’ menu, and we keep adding new things to the menu as people suggest things to us,” she told a room full of Chamber members, who ordered lunch from the menu following the meeting.
“There’s always room to keep growing, but the menu has what we currently offer.”
Board president Lee Sells explained that the clubhouse used to have a full kitchen, then went to partial kitchen and now is back to full kitchen capacity again.
“Lisa came on the board this fall and had a bunch of good ideas and asked about being open this winter, so we figured we’d give it a try,” Sells said.
He explained that the party room is available to be leased for events. It has a capacity of roughly 100. If the entire building is reserved, it has a capacity of 200 people.
Bogey’s Bar and Grill can serve food for private events, or people can bring in their own caterers.
The Luverne Country Club website has a price list for event rental options.
Sells said the clubhouse is always open to the public, but there hasn’t always been a full kitchen. Now they’re trying to get the word out that it’s a restaurant for everyone — not just club members.
Daily specials are shared on the restaurant’s Facebook page, which also has the business hours and other information.
The Luverne Country Club phone number is 507-283-4383.
