Letters to the Editor
- October 18, 2023Thone: 'Paper rules have no relevance...' Letter to the Editor: The paper rules have no relevance for the innocent. The rules of God define the innocent. The rules of man punish the criminals. God’s Rule: Do no harm or damage to person, place, or thing, willfully or with extreme negligence. This government excels at forced choices, forced permissions, financially raping and jailing the…
- September 27, 2023Fick: 'Let the doctors decide if this drug is needed' To the Editor: Glad to see the decisions made by the county commissioners and other people of authority in regard to the marijuana situation.

- September 06, 2023Thone: 'This government is corrupt to the core...' To the Editor: In God’s court he requires us to love him with all of our heart, mind and soul. To love others and ourselves.

- August 15, 2023Fick: 'We're overlooking serious national problems' Letter to the Editor: The big question in Washington now seems to be at what age is an individual disqualified from running for public office.

- August 08, 2023Keitel: 'Our water has become tainted' Letter to the Editor: I grew up in rural Luverne and understood crops, birds, rivers, streams, beaver, muskrat, snapping turtles, river bottoms and sand pits. I utilized the spring water that flowed out of the earth like a gift from God. My first spring water was from the Blue Mounds where a pipe came out of the side of a hill and filled glass…
- July 18, 2023Frakes: 'Two-letter word' To the Editor: We’ve been seeing and hearing a lot about abortion these days. They talk about the fact that a woman should have the right to control her own body, but the real fact is that abortion is a reward to a woman who couldn’t control her body. I know that it hasn’t been that long ago that we thought storks brought the babies, but modern science has…
- July 11, 2023Harrison on this year's legislative session: 'Is this what you voted for?' To the Editor: If you haven’t heard about what has happened in our Minnesota Legislature this year, it is important that you know.

- July 04, 2023Altena: '...you and I are called to expose the deeds of darkness' To the Editor: If you drove past my house and saw me trying to mow my lawn with my snowblower, at best you would assume I was not fulfilling the intended purpose for my snowblower, right? And yet I believe that scenario represents the mindset of Gov. Walz and every Democratic representative and senator in Minnesota. I’m…
- June 27, 2023Schomacker: Thanks, Greg, for all your work Letter to the Editor: I have been wanting to write this letter for some time and then another week is gone and I am reading the new Star Herald. So, this is the week. It has been a great addition to the paper with all the cool pictures, many in color, of the sports of Rock County along with great stories. There is proof of when one door closes, another…
- June 13, 2023Olson: Water on earth is about 4.5 billion years old Letter to the Editor: Re: article in current Star Herald about Rock County Water System receiving a grant to determine nitrates and also the age of water in Rock County. If you google “How old is drinking water,” you find that all water on earth is about 4.5 billion years old. It was formed during the formation of the solar system and just…
- May 30, 2023Dementia awareness event shows that ‘love always remembers' To the Editor: A.C.E. of SW MN and the Southwest Minnesota Dementia Awareness Network (SWDAN) were grateful to be able to bring our spring dementia event to our community in May at the lovely Presbyterian Church in Luverne.

- April 04, 2023Fick: 'Stop and think, what if that would happen around here. Oh that would hurt' To the Editor: Another shooting! Three innocent children and three adults at work in school. Why? Where will the next incident be? Do we think this 28-year-old has been watching television? Seeing how the adults in Washington, D.C., operate? The example they set for our youth. It this normal? Could that…
- March 28, 2023H-BC Teacher: 'I encourage your to vote April 11' To the Editor: I often feel like I’ve hit the jackpot in my job teaching kindergarten at Hills-Beaver Creek Elementary School! We were named a U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon School in 2019. We’ve got a great staff, working together like clockwork to educate our students. We’ve got an acclaimed administrator who leads us to…
- March 21, 2023Brooks: 'What's your better idea?' To the Editor: If you try to make everyone happy, you will lose as a community. You’re a town of 5,000 people, with perhaps 2,000 or so homes. Are a thousand of them, or even a 500, complaining? What happens is CAVE-rs (Citizens Against Virtually Everything) complain and it might be as many as 50 people (typically it’s more like ten) and then you…
- March 14, 2023To the Editor: The members of the Luverne Area Convention & Visitors Bureau enthusiastically support the efforts of the “Just for Nuts” 501C non-profit organization to site and construct the “world’s largest nutcracker” in Luverne.
