Businesses Must Identify Trends To Ensure Success

Small business owners and farmers who want to ensure their success should prepare for certain upcoming trends and challenges, a Virginia Tech professor advised Tuesday. At a seminar sponsored by Lake City Bank, David M.Kohl, Ph.D., told small business owners that the aging of Americans, the boom in biotechnology and information sciences, and the movement of much of America's middle class back to rural areas will have a huge impact on small business into the next millenium. Each trend, in turn, has an effect on another area, Kohl said.For example, the growth in available information has made people into processors instead of thinkers. "Small businesses that are successful get employees to think instead of processing," he said. Good, qualified employees are becoming harder to find, Kohl said, creating a major challenge for employers.

Winona Residents Seeks Pier Ordinance Clarification

WINONA LAKE - Dan Lesley received a copy of an updated ordinance regarding piers in the channel and wanted a few things explained at Tuesday's Winona Lake Town Council meeting. The correspondence Lesley, and others who rent channel piers, received from the town outlined the new fee structure, construction of piers in the channel and other regulations, some dating back to 1978. Councilman Craig Snow explained that the length of the piers came about because there wasn't enough room for two boats to pass one another in the channel. The plan commission had worked on the ordinance for about six months.The fee structure was approved by resolution in October. Lesley asked if the town owned the channel.

Lawmakers Seek Federal Funds To Remove Snow

Indiana is trying very hard to dig out from the worst winter storm in 20 years, and will need help to complete the job. That's what Gov.Frank O'Bannon told President Bill Clinton in declaring a snow emergency for 56 counties and asking for federal assistance in removing the snow. Kosciusko County is one of those counties. "Through the present time, additional snowfall, freezing precipitation and sub-zero temperatures have crossed the state, creating a significant threat to the public's health, safety and well-being," O'Bannon said in requesting the aid. According to the State Emergency Management Agency, the central and northern Indiana counties meet the federal criteria for snow removal assistance.The money would be used to offset unusually high costs for local governments' emergency efforts to protect human life - efforts described by the governor as nothing short of heroic.
