Low income housing push eyed for Sidney
The Department of Housing and Urban Development plans to advertise a rental assistance program here next month to finance up to 8 percent of elderly housing costs. Sidney Housing Authority chair Vince Maliszewski says details should come in February with a likely February advertisement. The plan targets replacing the Sioux Villa low income complex built in the 1950s, funded by FHA loans and HUD subsidies, with 40 new elderly units at about $190 monthly rent, pending approvals and site options near South 11th Avenue, on land owned by First Christian Church.

Leap year economics and odd birthdays spark debate
The 366 day year boosts output and lowers costs for renters and borrowers while encouraging a rare birthday cycle for those born on February 29. It notes National Geographic says the leap year adds a production day to gross national product despite 1976’s Sunday date. It recalls Rossini’s 18th and the miscount of 1800 as a leap year, with Julius Caesar’s decree anchoring the 365 four year cycle.
