Having been here for just over seven months and feeling more confident about my position, I decided it’s time. The first thing I had to do was to come up with a name for my sports-related column. After a few suggestions that went afoul, such as “Sports Shorts” (a nod to my short stature), I decided to…- By John RittenhouseMarch 18, 2020The Luverne Country Club has a new manager entering the 2020 golf season.

We all hear of the stories where some idiot leaves their children in the back of a car to run on this or that errand…
