Letters to the Editor

Baustian: Hagedorn not a 'leader for our communities' To the Editor: As a 38-year veteran of the United States Air Force and Air National Guard and the father of three children who are currently serving our country in the military, I'm disappointed but not surprised by Congressman Hagedorn's...
To the Editor:        The Minnesota Department of Education will announce on July 27 whether or not to open Minnesota schools this fall.        I advocate for Luverne and other Minnesota schools to fully reopen on schedule.        The Luverne Public School District is one of the best around. We...
To the Editor: I greet you with lament from the nation’s capital. Many of you have read in my favorite weekly paper, or heard my messages in church, about our need as a country to treat each other with greater compassionate listening and love during these challenging times. COVID-19 and the events...
To the Editor: These are unusual times. We are learning new ways to deal with lifewhen it throws a curve ball. I remember listening to my grandparents tell of the Dirty Thirties, the polio epidemic, the difficulties of too wet, too dry, or storms that damage homes and fields. Those were just...

To the Editor:      We want to send a huge “Thank You” to all our Rock County residents. Our American Red Cross blood drive on April 7 was an example of how our community pulls together in time of need.      A special thank you to Mike and Wanda Jarchow and their family for opening up their event...
To the Editor:        Holy buckets of septic tank covers! People hoarding T.P.! Did I miss something? Did Bernie win the election?        Actually, T.P. is soft and cuddly and can be comforting to us in this time of near apocalypse. Better than an old newspaper or a corncob anyway.        And...
To the Editor:      Thank you, Kat Dahl, for your thoughtful, intelligent editorial.      Tragically, our dangerously inept commander in chief ignored experts on the science of contagion and didn’t take the steps necessary to attack its spread. Now his missteps are affecting us here in Rock County...
