When is enough enough?
I heard over the weekend the Cardinal Club is not selling their coupon cards this year.
Someone called and didn't like the local smoke shop being included on the card.

To the Editor:
How do you thank a town? How does a family express gratitude to a community? In 1999 our parents retired from their beloved farm life near Adrian and moved to town. They moved to Luverne. On July 31, after several weeks of failing health, our mother died in the loving embrace of...

To the Editor:
I’m happy the city took out the three condemned homes and the fourth will soon follow, I hope.
