Letters to the Editor
- July 24, 2024Kracht: 'What a crazy few weeks this has been with the political scene' To the Editor: Wow! What a crazy few weeks this has been with the political scene in Washington, D.C. I have written two letters, but when the time came to submit them, everything had changed. Unless you have been living under a rock, you know about most of this. I’ll give you a quick review of what has happened. There…
- July 17, 2024Lehman: Do the research Letter to the Editor: Mr. Hudson (in a July 11 Star Herald letter to the editor) emphasized the importance of asking questions, with which I agree, but I also believe in research. I haven’t the temerity to speak for the mayor or City Council, but I can share my own experiences. My wife and I moved here from Brandon in 2022. Full disclosure, I lived in Luverne…
- July 10, 2024Hudson: People need to ask questions Letter to the Editor: I went to the valuation meeting May 14 which was open from 4:00 to 4:30 for the public which I feel is a way to keep the people from attending as most people cannot get off work at this time and the mayor and council know this, so what are they hiding? There were only a half dozen of us there and they all said they have been fixing up…
- June 05, 2024Bremer: Artificial Intelligence is real Letter to the Editor: I am known by many to be a technology geek of the highest order. Artificial Intelligence is forging its way into our existence in so many ways. I, for one, detest that fact that AI takes over the jobs of real people (like our local DJs at the once local radio stations). In order to get any type of real assistance on the Internet,…
- April 03, 2024Hohn and collectors: 'We give Luverne a five-star rating' To the Editor: The Siouxland Collectors of Sioux Falls hosted the Minneapolis Moline Collectors Inc. Winter Show in Luverne March 21, 22 and 23 at the Big Top events center. We chose Luverne for its location and facilities that help make this event a success. We would like to thank the residents and businesses of Luverne for…
- March 27, 2024Harnack: 'Am I here all alone?' Am I here all alone?! From the moment I could listen, My parents said to me, “Always treat people with respect, The way you want to be.” They also told me not to boast, Don’t brag, don’t bully, or lie, ’cause you will have to answer to these, The moment that you die. I learned the “Sermon on the Mount,” Memorized the “Beatitudes.” But, it seems…
- February 28, 2024A way to fight inflation Letter to the Editor: Rejoice in fake news (and what we can do to fix it). To everyone who thinks our boy Trump is a true Christian, I got news for you. The “insurrection” of 1/6/2021 was nothing but a “show” for whose syllable antecedent isn’t worthy of human waste. Re-elect “Damien” and we destroy all that America stands for. MAGA rioters are declaring war against…
- February 21, 2024Third-grader in Virginia needs local assistance with project Letter to the Editor: Dear People of the Great State of Minnesota, Hello! I am a third-grade student in Northern Virginia. Our class is learning about the United States, and I will be teaching our school about the state of Minnesota. In May, I will create a display for our State Fair that I hope will make you proud. Although I have…
- December 20, 2023Thone amazed at musical talent in Luverne community Letter to the Editor: I want to express how amazing the musical talent is in this community. The past couple of weeks my family and I have been privileged to be able to listen to three incredible musical events in our community: the Holiday Choir Concert at the school, the ‘Hear the Sounds of Christmas’ Luverne Street Music recital event at…
- August 15, 2023Fick: 'We're overlooking serious national problems' Letter to the Editor: The big question in Washington now seems to be at what age is an individual disqualified from running for public office. Mental and physical status could be determined by medical doctor exams if an individual is qualified to start running for public office. Age brings experience and can bring knowledge and…
- July 18, 2023Frakes: 'Two-letter word' To the Editor: We’ve been seeing and hearing a lot about abortion these days. They talk about the fact that a woman should have the right to control her own body, but the real fact is that abortion is a reward to a woman who couldn’t control her body. I know that it hasn’t been that long ago that we thought storks brought the babies, but modern science has…
- July 11, 2023Harrison on this year's legislative session: 'Is this what you voted for?' To the Editor: If you haven’t heard about what has happened in our Minnesota Legislature this year, it is important that you know. We are now a sanctuary for abortions that can occur up to the moment of birth, a “privilege” allowed only in six other nations (China and North Korea included). If a baby is born…
- May 30, 2023Dementia awareness event shows that ‘love always remembers' To the Editor: A.C.E. of SW MN and the Southwest Minnesota Dementia Awareness Network (SWDAN) were grateful to be able to bring our spring dementia event to our community in May at the lovely Presbyterian Church in Luverne. Caregivers shared their personal stories which helped us understand how every person’s dementia journey is…
- May 16, 2023Protecting the elderly: Minnesota’s battle against the landline shutdown 'People with mental health feel isolated' Letter to the Editor: In Minnesota, I recently discovered that telecom companies were granted FCCapproval last August to deregulate the shutdown of copper wire landline phoneservice. Instead, they are allowed to substitute it with internet-based phone service. This…
- March 07, 2023Forrest: Nutcracker's multiplier effect leads to thriving community To the Editor: Studies show that if someone visits your community and stays for two or more hours, the average amount spent in the community is $200 including visiting an attraction, filling their vehicle with fuel, eating and shopping. Presently, the Jolly Green Giant in Blue Earth brings in around 50,000 people per year.…
- February 28, 2023Thone: 'God-given inalienable right to travel shall not be infringed' To the editor: This Constitutional Republic of 50 states agree that every American individual has the God-given inalienable right to freely travel without paying, licensing, permitting, registering, insuring, or having that right granted by any entity other than God. Ex Parte Dickey, (Dickey vs. Davis), 85 SE 781…
