- April 27, 2021Sasker: 'Glad to call Luverne home' To the Editor: I wrote a letter to the editor years ago and never sent it. This is that letter in part: It happened again like so many times before. I am in a store in Luverne and I hear a clerk refer a customer to another store because they didn’t have the item asked for. I thought, “Wow! This is commendable, no competition for business; just people…
By George Bonnema, Luverne HorticulturalistApril 27, 2021Our spring weather certainly has been unstable this year. I don’t understand how a tulip flower stem can survive 16 degrees and still stand firm and continue on to a beautiful flower. My blooming daffodils didn’t come through the cold as well. The leaves are still green so they can feed the bulb to develop the flower for next year. That is why we stress the importance of leaving the leaves of…- April 20, 2021National Volunteer Week 2021 is this week, April 19-24, and it is an opportunity for volunteers and organizations to raise awareness of the contribution volunteers make in their communities.

- April 13, 2021Meinerts: 'This is why I love America' To the Editor: Thanks for the response, Rae, I was beginning to think that the sea of red was much wider and deeper than I had imagined. My response has been overwhelmingly positive. This is why I love America and freedom. Everyone is supposed to have a voice, but with big tech censorship and biased media it’s really difficult to find the ever…
- April 06, 2021Frakes: One party rule here To the Editor: I can’t understand why everyone is running down China. Aren’t their politics the same as we have here? Don’t we also have one party rule? What the top dog says is law? Doesn’t our government want to control all our energy sources, churches, businesses and the citizens up to and including when and where we can work and where we can’t, and even how to…
By Brenda Winter, columnistMarch 30, 2021One of my grandmas could make a jumping mouse out of a handkerchief. The other grandma let us have a sip of her beer and eat supper without washing our hands. One grandma took us to the store to buy pop and candy, the other entertained us for hours by telling stories from her childhood in Germany. I loved both of my grandmas. I didn’t love them for what they could do. I loved them because they…- 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!
