- August 02, 2022Luverne — 'You make great memories for all eight teams and fans' To the Editor: I had the privilege this past weekend to be the Minnesota Division IIAmerican Legion baseball tournament director in Luverne. The community ofLuverne opened their arms to seven different communities and my staff for awonderful weekend of baseball. To say this was a great weekend would be an understatement…
- July 27, 2021Albert Einstein stated, “Once you stop learning, you start dying.” Having a thirst for knowledge keeps your mind sharp. Age is only a number. When you’re over the hill, you pick up speed. Here are three things I’ve learned this week. If you haven’t got your three for the week, borrow one of these: •When birds are migrating, they don’t eat, and they sleep while flying. Source: my grandson. •When…
- April 06, 2021Frakes: One party rule here To the Editor: I can’t understand why everyone is running down China. Aren’t their politics the same as we have here? Don’t we also have one party rule? What the top dog says is law? Doesn’t our government want to control all our energy sources, churches, businesses and the citizens up to and including when and where we can work and where we can’t, and even how to…
- October 06, 2020To the Editor: Mr. Radisewitz in his letter said that the county in which he lives is not the same, and he asks the citizens to be more respectful. I see us being that in where we shop, work, play and worship. We are not judged by our political views, religion, ethnicity or economic status. We are, however, in politics. The blame for this lies in the mouths of our politicians and media. If you…
- October 06, 2020To the Editor: While my dog Charley and I were out walking last Thursday evening, we noticed that yard signs had sprung up like mushrooms. One sign caught my eye — “Push Back,” it read. As I considered the message, I was struck by the following thoughts: This is a time of unprecedented change, loss and uncertainty, and we feel the effects. We can feel overwhelmed and power-less. But no, we need…
- September 19, 2017To the Editor: Luverne has made many positive changes in the past few years as we envision our future. I’d like to share my own thoughts on the subject, specifically regarding food and agriculture. I grew up on a Rock County farm and have lived here all but about three years of my life. I’m delighted that our farmers and gardeners are producing more fruits, vegetables, and other local products,…
- July 11, 2016Letter to Kenneth: A note from Kerry Boese to those who once made up Kenneth Lutheran Church: On July 13, 1986, I was ordained as a pastor in what was then the American Lutheran Church. On this, the 30th anniversary of my ordination, I find myself reflecting on my faith walk and remember those who have been a significant part of that walk. I want you to know how thankful I am for the years your…
- June 27, 2016To the Editor: Do we want a politician or a senator that will represent us and get things done? As she stated, he lectured the governor on how to do his job. Are we to just figure the governor does everything correct and accept it? Respect for the governor is one thing, BUT that should be for all senators and representatives then. If they were all equal, maybe something would get done. As for the…
- June 14, 2016To the Editor: I would like to write a short note about the Luverne High School boys’ tennis team. We had the opportunity to play the Cardinals of Luverne in the Minnesota High School state boys consolation finals. Our tennis team had played an extremely tough schedule during the spring of 2016. We have played several state-ranked teams, and half of our schedule was against AA opponents. Even…
- May 31, 2016To the Editor: I am amazed at how far we’ve come in the last 50 years. Our biggest accomplishment has probably been getting our women out of the house and into the workforce. There has been another more recent milestone you may have overlooked. Our school-aged children are now mature enough to choose their own gender! Great accomplishment! Every economist out there will tell you we need more…
- April 25, 2016To the Editor: Each year, usually in May, you see citizens wearing little red crepe paper poppies. These flowers, the memorial flowers of the American Legion Auxiliary, are offered to you by volunteers of the American Legion Post #123. This year in Luverne Poppy Day will be Thursday, May 26. This is not just a local program; it is a nationwide program. Thousands of America’s fighting men and…

April 11, 2016To the Editor: Early on the morning of April 4th, members of an organization called Operation: 23 to Zero travelled to the lower mall of the Minnesota State Capitol for an annual event. That Monday morning they arranged 23 pair of military boots in a long arc, with all pointing the same direction. Each day during the week they would add another 23 pairs to the formation. By the end of the week…- March 28, 2016To the Editor: Minnesota has endorsed Rubio and the “Bern.” We’ve seen how Rubio will probably end up, but doesn’t the “Bern” make your heart glow? The media says the “Bern” wants to be the first democratic socialist president of the United States. I suppose that means that he likes to socialize and party, but don't they all. Hillary and Bill get paid millions to do it. But wouldn’t it be…
- January 18, 2016In response to the Jan. 7th editorial titled, “Wipe your feet please!” Get over it. As an employee of two retail businesses here in Luverne, I can confirm that this isn’t the most pleasant part of the job; however I am actively aware I work in customer service. We service the customers, which, yes, means we clean up after them. Not to mention, you can often hear these customers taking the time to…
- January 18, 2016To the Editor: I am glad that someone printed an article (Star Herald editorial Jan. 7) regarding the manure tracked through town recently. Shortly after I read the editorial, I had the displeasure of a sighting, smelling at the post office and it was horrible. I wish the offender was still there while my thoughts were still fresh in my mind so I could share them personally. I never have that…
