To 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....
To 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...
To the Editor:
Packing and moving out can be a monumental task, especially after 23 years of being in one building. This is what the Council for Arts and Humanities in Rock County (CAHRC) faced in February and accomplished when it moved out of the Carnegie Cultural Center. It would not have...

To the Editor:
This is a reply to Rick Peterson’s question as to why the red line in hockey is red.
The line has two purposes: first, to divide the rink in half; second, as a line to help with a game delay called “icing.”
It started as a solid line, but with the invention of black and white TV, the...
In 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...
