- 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…
- March 20, 2024State Representative Joe Schomacker (R-Luverne) said good and bad can be found in Minnesota's latest economic update. Our state’s fiscal experts are projecting that Minnesota will see a $3.7 billion budget surplus for the remainder of the current budget term.

- By Minnesota Sen. Amy KlobucharMarch 20, 2024Minnesotans seek assistance from U.S. government agencies for a variety of reasons — whether it’s to get an answer about Social Security, access to veterans benefits, or assistance with renewing a passport. But, too often bureaucratic red tape gets in the way. That’s why our state office makes it a priority to cut through this red tape to get action and answers. Last year alone, our office…

- 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 07, 2024Sandbulte: Post office is struggling Letter to the Editor: As a retired rural carrier with the post office, I think I can respond to some of the complaints against the local service. For the last three years I have come out of retirement to help deliver packages during the holiday season. This past session was by far the worst. It appeared to me, that Amazon was short of help too, so the…
- January 31, 2024Murphy: Mail delivery issue To the Editor: We have an apparent issue with mail delivery in Rock County. The USPS is very short-staffed at our Luverne office; however, they do not advertise locally for help.

- October 18, 2023Thone: 'Paper rules have no relevance...' Letter to the Editor: The paper rules have no relevance for the innocent. The rules of God define the innocent. The rules of man punish the criminals. God’s Rule: Do no harm or damage to person, place, or thing, willfully or with extreme negligence.
