Star Herald issues all 'thumbs up'

Star Herald Editorial

Everything’s coming up Thumbs Up this week in the Star Herald’s Thumbs-Up, Thumbs-Down editorial.
Thumbs up — to Fairway Meat Market and their grand opening. This business is clearly a class act, from its bow-tie-sporting manager to its attractive meat cases fully stocked with mouth-watering meats and groceries.
Thumbs up — to PrairiE Loft apartments for their steady construction progress and now a finished parking lot (with some help from the City of Luverne). These buildings represent the latest in energy-efficient construction resident amenities. Tenants will be moving in next month.
Thumbs up — to Rock County and its contractor for the newly paved Main Street (County Road 4) just in time for the Tri-State Band Festival. The Saturday morning parade competition is always a sight (and sound) to behold, but the clean, black asphalt really set off the brightly-colored uniforms and flag corps.
Thumbs up — to final stages of the Luverne Loop trail being completed. The Loop has made our “thumbs up” in the past, but it can’t be overstated the valuable amenity this trail is to our residents and visitors.
Thumbs up — to Michelle DeKam and the 16 coaches and eight referees who volunteered their time and energy to make a soccer season happen for 210 kids in kindergarten through seventh grade.
It has been a sight to behold over the past seven weeks on the west edge of Luverne to watch the kids in jerseys running around chasing soccer balls while parents, grandparents and other fans watch from their chairs and blankets on the grass nearby.
