- August 06, 2019To the Editor: Oh boy! Here we go again! A few people get murdered over the weekend and I bet they’re going to want to take our guns away. I know everybody here in Rock County is with me when I say I’ll defend myself and my property to the max. If some jerk would break into my house and attempt to pilfer my cold 12-pack from the spare fridge in the basement or steal my pocket change from the…
- July 16, 2019To the Editor: My family and I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the genuine kindness and support we received by Herman Motor Company. When our rental RV transmission chose to fail on us, and we tried every Ford dealer from Austin to Luverne, it was Kelly Herman and her team (Amy Kroon, Travis Dunn, and several others) that treated us with compassion and went above and beyond their…
- July 09, 2019To the Editor: The Luverne and Rock County community is fortunate to have generous organizations like the Luverne United Methodist Church and ATLAS of Rock County. The Methodist Church hosts the Rock County Emergency Food Shelf, every week providing free nutrition to local families and individuals who struggle to put food on the table. The same congregation has generously reached out to help…
- July 09, 2019Submitted by Dale Moerke, Luverne, field staff West Area Labor Council- Red River Valley/AFL-CIO In 2018 CEOs of Standard and Poor’s 500 companies made on average $14.5 million, up from the $500,000 dollar raise from 2017. Compare that to the average rank-and-file worker who received barely more than a $1,000 raise, bringing total take-home pay in 2018 to $39,888. Even with the extra cash, wages…
- July 01, 2019Editor’s note: This editorial by editor Alan C. McIntosh first appeared in the Nov. 9, 1967, edition of the Rock County Star Herald. It was reprinted in the Feb. 27, 1969, edition after it had received the George Washington Honor Medal Award of Freedoms Foundation. ‘Just a Rag’ “I am the American flag. “Most of the time they call me ‘Old Glory.’ Which is ridiculous. I can’t regard myself as…
- May 21, 2019To the Editor: Our governor has proclaimed May as Poppy Month. What exactly does that mean? It means that many Minnesotans have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom and it is only fitting we recognize those courageous veterans. The American Legion Auxiliary, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the VFW Auxiliary have adopted the poppy as their commemorative symbol. These poppies create a…
- April 30, 2019To the Editor: We have always taken pride in the many positive features of living in Luverne. We are grateful for the snow removal that is done so soon after a snowfall. In most instances the downtown businesses and homes are well maintained. Our parks are always neat and inviting for picnics, walking or just sitting for a while to relax. Residents are pleasant and friendly. “Minnesota nice”…
- July 31, 2018To the Editor: There are a few general thoughts I wanted to share as the circus — ahem, election — season is really getting underway. First, regardless of your affiliation — and regardless of what the national news media and political parties that thrive off of our division would have you believe — we’re all people. We all deserve basic respect even if we vehemently disagree with each other on…
- July 17, 2018To the Editor: The progressives would like to open our borders to everyone who would like to come on board. Some would even get rid of immigration agents themselves. Part of the reason they say we need to do this is the fact that we need more workers. I find this more than curious. This is the same outfit that literally throws hundreds of thousands of little new baby Americans out with the…
- October 09, 2017To the Editor: When I read Superintendent Oftedahl’s editorial in the Sept. 21 issue of the Star Herald (Nov. 7 referendum asks district residents to make a difference), I couldn’t help but smile and nod to myself in agreement. Supt. Oftedahl said, “The idea of making a difference is essential to education.” I’m raising my children to make a difference — and Luverne Public Schools teachers and…
- September 26, 2017To the Editor: We want to let everyone know how proud we are of our beautiful and clean city. Hats off to the city of Luverne, Chamber of Commerce, business owners and to all others who do their part to make this possible. We hear many compliments from visitors to our city. Yes, we “Love Luverne” and are proud and blessed to be residents here. Connie Wieneke The Pool and Coffee Pals Luverne P.S.…
- September 05, 2017To the Editor: Once again we have to increase the debt ceiling. What is that? That’s when you spend more than you take in. Families go without — government just borrows more — they sell bonds. We borrow from Japan and China and must pay interest yearly. The rest we borrow from ourselves. Case in point. The Social Security Administration, which has accumulated a surplus since it was first set up…
- September 05, 2017To the Editor: We all here at the Tri-State Addition received our letters from the city of Luverne in regard to the storm water drainage study. Well, we all know how that’s going to turn out. I have received countless thanks sticking up for my neighborhood and the citizens of Luverne who enjoy the Roundwind Road neighborhood in which the city of Luverne has plans to destroy. I think it is time…
- August 22, 2017To the Editor: As the Third District V.F.W. Commander and Luverne Post 2757 Quartermaster, I would like to thank our V.F.W. baseball team and coaches for a great season. I was really impressed by your quality of ball playing. Keep up your great work, and I will be at Marshall in 2018 to cheer you on. Our team is championship quality. Buck Underwood Luverne
- October 31, 2016To the Editor: A good premise and instruction for any government and people in general is to take care of those less fortunate than themselves. Now our government is turning the tables and with the Affordable Care Act, our government is creating a new problem and portion of the population that no longer can afford the imposed upon regulations. The Affordable Care Act is due to implode on itself…
- October 17, 2016To the Editor: In this most unusual of political seasons, it continues to be a wonder to me that so many people who purport to be good Christians will, in fact, actually hate one or the other of our presidential candidates. Is there room for “hate” in politics, or otherwise, in the Gospel of Jesus Christ? Emphatically, there is not. Strong feelings? Yes, of course! But not hate. There is, I…
