Letters to the Editor
- October 20, 2020Harnack shares original poem, 'Blown Away' “Blown Away” How did we get, to where we are? How did it ever get this far? Death threats to scientists for not liking what they say. Believing politicians over doctors just blows me away. We learned stories from the Bible when we were just small. They now seem outdated, do not matter at all. The Good Samaritan taught us what to do, In…
- July 16, 2019To the Editor: My family and I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the genuine kindness and support we received by Herman Motor Company. When our rental RV transmission chose to fail on us, and we tried every Ford dealer from Austin to Luverne, it was Kelly Herman and her team (Amy Kroon, Travis Dunn, and several others) that treated us with compassion and went above and beyond their…
- September 05, 2016To the Editor: My husband and I planted a pear tree four years ago in our backyard. We were told that it would take at least three years to get any pears on it. Last year we got two pears. This year the tree had between two to three dozen pears on it. We went out in the evening on Aug. 15 to look at the pears and decided to pick them the next afternoon.

The University of North Dakota was called “The Fighting Sioux.” To be politically correct, they are now called “The Fighting Hawks…
- June 14, 2016To the Editor: “I am the Flag” I am the flag of the United States of America. I was born on June 14, 1777, in Philadelphia. There the Continental Congress adopted my stars and stripes as the national flag. My thirteen stripes alternating red and white, with a union of thirteen white stars in a field of blue, represented a new constellation, a new nation dedicated to the personal and religious…
- April 19, 2016To the Editor: The other day I happened to be looking through my atlas, and I discovered that the United States has two borders, one longer than the other. Hmm? We have a bunch of trouble with one and very little with the other. Wouldn’t it be neat if everyone could understand the exact reason we have trouble with one border and not the other? Perhaps we could have a congressional hearing. Oops!…
- February 22, 2016To the Editor: I’ve been hearing and reading a lot about this “Black Lives Matter” business. This really pains me because what chance does this group really have? Think about it. The best black president we’ve ever had lives in the White House. Hello! Bill Frakes Luverne
