Luverne City Council members approved a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district for the proposed multi-family housing project at their regular meeting June 27. 
The project in the Sybesma Addition would have 30 mixed income, two-story townhomes built along Highway 4 west of the current Rock Creek Townhomes on Oak Drive. 
The four-structure development would provide
two-, three- and four-bedroom townhomes, each with an attached garage and an in-unit laundry. 
The Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership (SMHP) is proposing to develop, own and asset manage the development, just as it does the existing Rock Creek Townhomes.
The SMHP is applying for funding through the multi-family consolidated request for proposal and for housing tax credit programs. 
According to Luverne City Administrator Jill Wolf, in order to apply for the funding mechanisms, the project is required to adhere to income limits of 50 to 60 percent of area median income. 
In addition to the funding options, the housing partnership asked the city to sell the land for $1 and to create a TIF district in order to make the project financially feasible. 
The way tax increment financing works, the new owners of the bare lot will pay full taxes on the improved property, but the difference between the current tax amount and the new tax amount will pay down the TIF debt.
After the TIF expires, in this case 25 years, local governments will benefit from taxes paid on the full value of the developed property.
Wolf said the TIF housing district would help pay for the infrastructure and is expected to generate around $99,000 in tax increment financing over 26 years. 
“What a great project for the city of Luverne,” said Luverne Mayor Pat Baustian. “There's always a waitlist out at the Rock Creek Townhomes, so this is needed.”
Wolf told the council the city’s recent housing study identifies a need for the proposed housing project. 
“The housing study did show a need for 33 units at that 50 to 60 percent of area median income level,” Wolf said. “This (project) would be 30 units so it would just about meet that need.”
The SMHP has indicated it plans to apply for the funding in July and will find out this fall if the Luverne project is accepted. 
If the application is denied this year, the partnership intends to apply again for funding next year.
If approved this year, construction on the housing project could begin in 2024.

We often don’t know what we need until we need it, and that’s likely the case for most people finding themselves in need of emergency assistance.
Until we need help, we don’t know what kind of help is available, and many who have needed help for fires, crashes or medical emergencies will attest to the quality firefighters and first responders we have in Rock County.
On Wednesday, June 28, Luverne and Hills firefighters were called to a grain bin accident at the Fick farm where two were trapped in avalanched corn and a third was trying to help them. (See the related story.)
In the moments that elapsed before the Luverne Fire Department arrived, they were focused on survival. What they didn’t know was that a trained force of emergency responders would swoop onto the scene knowing exactly what to do with exactly the right tools.
The Ficks are seasoned farmers accustomed to all sorts of hazardous farming situations. They knew the dangers of working in grain bins and thought they were acting responsibly.
But the corn didn’t care as it crashed in from the sides of the bin. That’s the thing about farming. It’s as unpredictable as the markets and the weather that dictates who succeeds and who fails.
What is predicable, though, is the life-saving skill of our local firefighters who train for disasters that can — and have— taken lives in the past. They’ve learned from close calls and tragic endings.
And they’ve rehearsed on countless Monday nights for untold hours for worst-case scenarios like the one on June 28.
They’ve thrown their Rescue Randy dummy into flowing grain and rescued him. Over and over.
So when they showed up at 1159 101st St. at 2:34 p.m. on June 28, things got heated but their heads were cool.
And the outcome was positive. Three men were in the bin. Three came out. No one was hurt.
Many of us will never need emergency responders to come to our rescue, a blessing for which we should be thankful.
But those of us who have needed local help — in a fire, crash or medical emergency — can attest to the fact that we are blessed with the best.
Kudos to the Luverne Fire Department and the Hills firefighters who assisted for the successful grain bin rescue last week. Thank you for your hours of training and for being ready when you were needed.

Two years ago this month, I wrote a column about my Top 5 wish list for Luverne. 
I thought it would be fun to look back at my 2021 hopes for my hometown and see if any wishes had been granted. 
The following made my list two years ago:
5. Dar’s Pizza opening a Luverne location.
4. Kwik Trip coming to Luverne.
3. A larger Lewis Drug in town.
2. A permanent Star Herald sports reporter.
1. A normal school year after 1 1/2 years of pandemic impacts.
I'm happy to report that three of my five wishes have been granted — or will be soon.
A Kwik Trip convenience store will soon be under construction in Luverne. I have to admit, this wish is coming true sooner than I expected. 
 Last winter Greg Hoogeveen started as the Star Herald sports reporter. He’s doing a great job and our sports photos have never been better.
We had an almost completely “normal” school year in 2021-22. In fact, it turned out to be the best year of my career so far. 
Not too bad, right? 
But we can’t get too comfortable. I have wishes yet to be granted. 
So here’s my updated 2023 Top 5 Wish List for Luverne (including the remaining ungranted wishes from the 2021 list): 
5. A larger Lewis Drug in Luverne, similar to the newer medium-sized Lewis Drugs in Sioux Falls. It’s unlikely to happen, but one can wish. 
4. A “Dar’s South” in Luverne or a rebirth, in some way, of the old Smooky’s Pizza. If you believe rumors, this one is possible. 
And now the new wishes:
3. Citywide recycling pickup every Friday. 
I can’t be the only one who struggles to keep track of the correct Fridays and misses recycling day. Or pulls the bin to the street on the wrong Fridays. Or, in the summer especially, is out of town on recycling Friday. Let’s just do every Friday like we do when there’s a fifth Friday in the month. 
2. A restaurant that serves breakfast, especially on the weekends. … A new sports bar opening this fall has me optimistic that we will have more sit-down restaurants open on Sundays. And if we’re lucky, that will again include breakfast options.
1. Continuation of our local institutions. I know this one is rather broad, but my wish really is that Luverne continues to remain vibrant so our local institutions can remain strong. 
Our businesses, organizations, churches and schools need Luverne to continue to be progressive and growth-oriented in order to survive and thrive. I wish for this mindset to continue for years to come. 
I’ll check back in two years and see how my wishes are doing. Meanwhile, what’s on your wish list for Luverne? 

Altena: '...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 guessing most of you have heard the story from a few weeks ago of Gov. Walz signing a bill that requires school districts and charter schools in Minnesota to stock “period products” in boys’ bathrooms.
Common sense would say, “How foolish; God did not create males with a need for feminine products.”
However, in her infinite wisdom, the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Sandra Feist, DFL-New Brighton, argued, “Not all students who menstruate are female … We need to make sure all students have access to these products … Non-female menstruators face a greater stigma and barrier to asking these questions.”
 The $2 per pupil in the education finance bill will go toward supplying free menstrual products for both male and female students.
There are 821,000 pupils in Minnesota. (Check out https://alphanews.org/walz-signs-bill-requiring-schools-to-stock-period…)
In addition to the absurdity of this bill, Gov. Walz also signed a bill that makes Minnesota a “trans refuge state” where minor children, regardless of their state of legal residency, can obtain on-demand puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries — with or without the knowledge or consent of their parents.
House File 146 is also a threat to parental rights nationally, since Minnesota courts now have the legal right to unilaterally strip custody from a fit parent who objects to experimental, harmful treatments in response to gender identity confusion that is possibly, or even likely, temporary.
That's right, Minnesota could take away your child if you refuse to subject him or her to harmful, experimental “gender affirming care.”
Friends, regardless of what political party you may identify with, these new laws are the result of those who have been deceived and handed over to a depraved mind.
Regardless of whatever religious beliefs you might hold, putting feminine products in boys’ bathrooms, murdering unborn babies, and potentially removing minor children from parents for protecting their children is evil and is in opposition of God’s intent for his created order.
The Bible, which in part serves as an owner’s manual for God’s created order, includes instruction how God establishes governing authorities to “punish those who do wrong and commend those who do right.” 
Many of our governing authorities have that backward and are commending those who do wrong and punishing those who do good.
Followers of Jesus, you and I are called to expose the deeds of darkness.
In the meantime, with the Apostle Paul, “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people — for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” I Timothy 2:1-2
