In light of the Sept.11 terrorist attacks, cities, counties and states all across the U.S.are re-evaluating their emergency plans. Kosciusko County is no different.

"That was mandated by the government, to do a SARA Title 3 program," said county administrator Ron Robinson."That was to cover emergency management responsibilities for the county.It was an emergency operation plan for the county.I was sheriff at the time and I can tell you that took a lot of hard work to put that together.Ellsworth Everest was the man in charge at that time of what we called civil defense back then.It's been changed since then to cover emergency management." Quite a few people from around the county helped put the plan into place back then.It was adopted by the county commissioners in 1988 and has been in place since then.

Biofuels Fuel Economic Development
Right now, Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels' approval rating is in the dumper. That's because lots of people disagree with things he's done. The daylight-saving time issue was highly derisive.Basically, he angered just about half of Indiana with that one. On top of that, he got blamed for the division created by the Central/Eastern time zone debate. That angered more people, regardless of their take on DST. Then there was the closing of a dozen or so bureau of motor vehicles branches. That didn't make anybody real happy. More recently, Daniels raised the ire of 60 percent of Indiana residents - according to a recent Indianapolis Star poll - with his plan to lease the Indiana Toll Road. Lots of people are against that, even though the infusion of $3.8 billion in cash would be a big boost economically because of all the resultant road construction. As for his approval, it's sitting at 37 percent, not too much different than W's.
Leesburg Sewer Hearing Draws A Crowd
LEESBURG - Nearly 100 people filled the Leesburg Lions Building Wednesday night for a public hearing on the sewer project facilities plan. Town council president Bob Cleveland said that sewers have been something Leesburg has talked about as far back as the 1970s, so the council decided to find out the cost, feasibility and other factors concerning such a project."But this study does not mean that tomorrow we're going to put in sewers," he said. Joe Tierney, an engineer from Bonar Group of Indianapolis, said the town must have a facilities plan to qualify for a low-interest loan to help with the cost of the sewer project. Tierney said a sewer system would have a positive environmental impact because it would eliminate failing septic systems.The project would also enable businesses to open in town, something that can't happen now because of Indiana Department of Environmental Management requirements for septic systems.
