By John RittenhouseLuverne and Hills-Beaver Creek-Ellsworth-Edgerton track athletes tested their skills at the Howard Wood Dakota Relays in Sioux Falls Friday and Saturday.The annual event attracted more than 3,000 athletes from a three-state area.LHS and H-BC-E-E represented Southwest Minnesota well by producing a combined 10 top 10 performances during the two-day meet.While H-BC-E-E athletes locked up eight Top 10 efforts, a pair of Luverne boys turned in the best performances.Junior Tyler Elbers led the way by clearing 6-3 and finishing second in the high jump.Senior Marcus Walgrave also had a strong showing in the 110-meter hurdles.

By Sara StrongAttorney Doug Eisma attended the Tuesday Luverne Economic Development Authority meeting on behalf of his clients, who thought they were buying cheaper property than they were.Greg and Trisha Hoogeveen turned in a $2,000 check for a lot in Evergreen II Addition. The price was incorrectly advertised at the recently reduced Sybesma Addition price.The city returned the money to the Hoogeveens, but Eisma said his clients should be able to get the lot at a reduced price. To be fair, he said the city should reduce all Evergreen II lot prices, even if it’s for a short time to spur development.Eisma said, "It’s difficult to get people to build a home in Luverne."He pointed out that one home in Evergreen II would generate about $4,000 in real estate taxes and utilities for the city. That’s not considering the cost savings the city would receive from not holding the vacant lots, including paying debt service."I think it’s worth negotiating a lower price," Eisma said. "It wouldn’t take a long time to recoup the discount given to new builders."One option Eisma said could work for the city and interested builders, was to give a rebate of $2,500 to property owners once the home was constructed. That way, people wouldn’t be buying lots as a long-term investment or to create green space around their own properties.LEDA member Mike Engesser said it would be difficult to justify a discount or rebate since the Authority just reduced the Sybesma lots in an effort to push those sales. Also, with the new hospital and clinic plans on the north edge of town, Evergreen will likely sell itself in coming years.Eisma said the unsold lots available in Evergreen have been there since 1996. "I think if the lots aren’t moving, we need another strategy."Engesser said the city will have to make sure it is financially justified in changing any lot prices, because if the numbers don’t crunch right, it could end up subsidizing new home owners.The LEDA has set a priority of getting more businesses to town higher than selling its residential lots. With that thought, Engesser said, the lots will sell in time if there are businesses to draw more people.LEDA Director Dan Statema said, "I think it’s a positive attitude communitywide that fosters growth."LEDA member Nate Golla said the board should take some time to review options. He said it may be true that filling the vacated Tri-State building may be a better goal of the LEDA. "However," Golla said, "growth also looks good to potential businesses."Identity SportsThe LEDA also decided to guarantee a $25,000 note and 15 percent of a $75,000 Small Business Administration loan to get Identity Sports up and running in Luverne.Identity Sports has the potential of employing four or five people, including manager Jeff Ernst, Luverne.The business will relocate from Sioux Falls to the vacant building next to Main Street Financial.Identity Sports has either developed or manages online sports properties for more than 20 clients nationwide.It helps them update Web sites with news, photos and other multimedia, including newsletters and promotions that keep fans informed.The Web site is www.identitysports.com.

By Lori EhdeThe Rock County Sheriff’s Department is gearing up to handle permit requests resulting from the "Citizens Personal Protection Act" becoming a law. The new law, which goes into effect May 29, creates a uniform statewide standard for issuing concealed handgun permits.According to Sheriff Mike Winkels, about 200 handgun permits are issued in Rock County each year. He’s expecting about that many to request permits to carry those weapons.He approached Rock County Commissioners at their Tuesday meeting to report hardware needs resulting from the fact that photo identification will be issued from the law enforcement center.Winkels estimates it will cost about $650 to upgrade to a better digital camera and to purchase lamination equipment.The law requires those with concealed weapons to carry with them their permits and state photo identification. They will also need to attend and pass state certified handgun training classes.The application fee to request a permit is $75.People were able to apply for concealed weapons permits in Rock County before the bill was passed into law, but the most notable change is that now permits will be honored statewide, not just in certain areas.Winkels said another notable difference is that the new law takes away a significant amount of discretion from sheriffs in determining who should get a permit."I wished they’d left the discretion for sheriffs in there," Winkels said. "You can have a resident who’s a little unstable, and we used to deny them permits. Now we don’t have that discretion any more."The law still prohibits convicted felons, for example, from carrying a concealed weapon, but he said local law enforcement could deny a request for someone, simply on the grounds that he or she seemed unstable.Now, those same people would have to have records of commitment to mental institutions or current enrollment in chemical dependency programs to be denied. And, once those programs are successfully completed, they can be eligible for concealed weapons permits.For the most part, Winkels said he’s comfortable with the new law. "Most people in Rock County are good people," he said.He asked that interested Rock County residents wait until after June 1 to apply, since it will take that long for the Law Enforcement Center to be ready to handle applications.Sheriffs are given up to 30 days to check an applicant’s background and another five days to actually issue a permit.The bill prohibits carrying a weapon on school grounds and expands the definition of school property to include child-care facilities and other buildings used for school functions.Applicants must be United States citizens and they must receive firearms training every five years.Bill Burzlaff, Adrian, is offering a handgun safety class early in June. He’s a former police firearms instructor and former NRA police instructor. He currently works as the firearms safety instructor for the Department of Natural Resources.To register, Burzlaff can be reached at 360-9104 during the day, and 827-2154, other times. Cost is $125.The Rock County Sheriff’s Department has recognized his course as recommended training to meet criteria for the law.Rep. Doug Magnus (R-Slayton) co-authored the Personal Protection Act, "(It) reflects the feelings of society, which approves of the right to bear arms," he said. "Allowing law-abiding citizens to carry firearms for protection respects their fundamental right of self defense."

By Jolene FarleyEricka Erickson returned abruptly to the United States last month after studying at Beijing University, Beijing, China. Erickson, 21, a junior media studies major, arrived in China on Wednesday, Feb. 12, with a group of eight other exchange students from Pitzer College, Claremont, Calif. She is the granddaughter of Wendell and Kathryn Erickson, Hills.Studying both Chinese and traditional medicine at the Medical School of Beijing University, Erickson was called home after school officials at Pitzer College determined the severity of the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Erickson, a Sioux Falls, S.D., native, arrived back in the United States on Wednesday, April 23. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the State Department issued a travel warning in the first part of April suggesting that U.S. citizens defer non-essential travel to China because of SARS concerns.While concerns about SARS were mounting in China, the students in Beijing couldn’t get a straight answer on the severity of the virus, according to Erickson.Erickson said when she arrived in China, the SARS virus was in Hong Kong but hadn’t spread to Beijing."They (government officials) weren’t talking about how many people had it," she said. "You couldn’t assess how big of a threat it was." After reading about the SARS scare in U.S. newspapers, three of the students in Erickson’s group decided to go home."The rest of us had made the decision to stay and almost as soon as that happened, we were told to go home," she said. The day after Erickson left for the United States, Chinese officials quarantined the hospital where she attended classes on the Beijing campus. Students were confined to campus unless granted permission to leave. If allowed to leave, it was for only an hour. "It was probably one of the more dangerous places to be on that campus," she said.Residents in the hospital worked in other facilities and could have easily spread the virus. During the last week of her stay, whenever she left her residence she wore a mask. Many residents in Beijing already owned masks because of summer dust storms and severe air pollution.Erickson said she isn’t critical of the way the Chinese government handled informing the public of the outbreak. She thinks maybe officials thought it would cause a panic or more people to come into the city for medical treatment. Erickson said she didn’t have any problems entering the United States.She was given a card saying, "Please monitor your health" with a list of SARS symptoms."They were pretty nonchalant about it," she said. Thankfully, after two weeks in the United States, Erickson has shown no symptoms of SARS.Erickson was more concerned about public sentiment in China against the war in Iraq.The students were warned not to visit places where Americans usually gathered because of the threat of bombing.Erickson said she would love to go back to China and will continue to study the Chinese language in college. She doubts she will have the same experiences she would have had if she could have stayed in Beijing. Plans to stay with a rural Chinese family and to take a train ride across Asia to Russia were cancelled when she was forced to return to the United States.
