Letters to the Editor
- 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…
- 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. On the 16th we went out to pick them and…
- June 20, 2016To the Editor: Trouble is here. I’ve been thinking again. Here are some of my meaningless thoughts. I was having lunch with a friend (yes, I have friends), when he excused himself to go to “the little boys’ room.” I thought, why does the sign on the door read “Men”? 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
