- August 23, 2022Ehlers: '...liked the glass blowing' To the Editor: I really liked the glass blowing. I hope they come back next year to the Rock County Fair. Anna Ehlers, Luverne Kraayenhof: 'I am running for Hills City Council' Letter to the Editor:I see in the latest Star Herald that the only peoplerunning for the Hills city council positions are the two up for reelection.

There are so many reasons to celebrate with Betty. She has recently been awarded the…
- March 29, 2022Readers take issue with 'thumbs down' editorial item To the Editor: In regard to last week’s thumbs down regarding rising fuel costs, first, we think you can get a point across without name-calling. It is not necessary or helpful. Our country is divided enough. Let’s make efforts to come together. It’s very common for people to blame a president for many things, fuel costs included,…
- March 15, 2022Meinerts informs readers of historic event, 'Peoples Convoy' To the Editor: Since the Star Herald did not deem the People’s Convoy as newsworthy, I will do my best to inform the readers of this potentially historic event. Having participated from Beaver Creek to Albert Lea, I can say that seeing so many people waving flags on every overpass and the hundreds of cars waiting to receive…
- February 15, 2022Hudson: "...if we the people stand up and say 'no more' To the Editor: My wife Robin was recently discharged from Minnesota Bank on 12/30/2021 for refusing to sign a Vaccine Verification form, and on 1/20/22 she was informed that her unemployment was declined for employee misconduct. So she was discharged one day before she would get her 401 and bonuses, and now she has been…
- October 26, 2021Blake: We should require vaccinations To the Editor: To prevent further spread of the coronavirus, we should require everyone to get fully vaccinated (including a possible third dose), unless exempted by a sincerely held religious belief or medical condition. We should write to our legislators and executives at all levels of government. Alvin Blake, Luverne
- October 19, 2021Radisewitz: Retirement is really not that fun To the Editor: Isn’t retirement fun! So many days I feel like it’s summer and I’m a nine-year-old with nothing to do but look for adventure. Maybe go fishing or build a fort. For seniors October is like going back to school. That’s because it’s time to get serious and make the important decision on what health insurance plan to have in 2022. Oct. 15…
- October 12, 2021Brown: '... there must be common ground between each of us ...' To the Editor: Like many, I have observed with sadness the division in our nation. We also observe this division within our community. Much has changed since COVID-19 came into our world, but that’s only part of it. Some of the things that divide us now haven’t changed in the past two years, but have since been used as…
- September 28, 2021Pick: Mob Rule Won — we hope To the Editor: Well, the mob won the battle with the school board. Some of your actions were uncalled for – example, sending not so nice texts to school board members. You seem to know more than the superintendent of schools, board members health officers, doctors, the science people and even the President. Your information must come from Facebook and Fox News. A year…
- May 04, 2021To the Editor: I work at a retail store that requires mask- wearing for anyone within the store. Because of that, we have been called everything from a communist, a loser, stupid, dumb, and other names that I cannot print. Wearing a mask does not take away your freedom. You wear a mask to protect your family, loved ones, and those around you from you, just like they wear a mask to protect you…
- March 30, 2021Frakes: 'We're in teh money, and it's all free, and more is coming To the Editor: Halleluia! We’re in the money! We’re in the money! And it’s all free! And more coming! What do we get with this free money? The warm fuzzies! All of us, especially the upper crust ruling class in D.C., get the warm fuzzies from helping out our fellow Americans who are trapped in incalculable suffering…
- March 23, 2021Meinerts: Stimulus not so stimulating To the Editor: Trillion — a figure we hear a lot from our Washington bureaucrats. Does anyone even understand how big that number is? A million seconds is 11.57 days, a billion seconds is 31 years and a trillion seconds is 31,688 years. The 1.9 trillion dollar stimulus package that those nitwits in Washington passed would give every man, woman and a child in…
- February 09, 2021To the Editor: Our founding fathers came from monarchies in Europe where they foundthat absolute power corrupts absolutely. So they wrote theConstitution so that there would be checks and balances so no onecould rule absolutely. But since Minnesota has a law that we cannot prosecute the police,there is no check and balance. This situation where it is possible forthe police to cover for each other…
- December 21, 2020To the Editor: ‘Onto the new fallen snow’ A story was told to me, one day how some birds in a blizzard, had lost their way. It was very cold, and snowing outside, and the birds wanted in, before they died. A man was home alone, counting his worth. While his family were in church, celebrating Christ’s birth. He didn’t see the need, to join his children and wife, for this was just another,…
- December 08, 2020To the Editor: Places are closed, organizations have drastically shifted their service delivery, and plans have been canceled. This has become the norm during the pandemic of 2020. One thing that is not canceled is the holiday season. Many of us look forward to either going to a loved one’s house, hosting people in your neighborhood/community or celebrating with a new family member. How we…
