On Tuesday, April 24th the Edmonton-Metcalfe County Chamber of Com-merce will sponsor a FREE Business Seminar “How to apply for A Small Business Administration (SBA) Loan”.

SBA programs are to stimulate the growth of America’s small busi-nesses by supplementing the long-term debt and private-equity capital to them. There are various low interest loan programs that will add to one’s line of credit, increase work-ing capital, fund one’s in-ventory, and finance capi-tal improvements.
SBA provided $1.59 billion in financing for small businesses in 2010. At a time when capital is scarce for small businesses, SBA loans are highly valuable sources for one’s operation. Do not miss this FREE op-portunity to learn one’s options.

delivered around 2 a.m. That first load was fol-lowed by 31 more. A crew from Broughton Concrete in Indiana drove down Sunday night and spent a good 12 hours leveling
and smoothing the floor.
A series of lawn sprin-klers were used to keep the floor moist so it would dry evenly. By the time you read this work should
have begun on the cement block walls. Tommy Lee Garrett, Venture Con-tracting in Glasgow is in charge of the day to day progress of the project.

selves and their property. A serious limitation is that you must shoot the dog during the attack, not when the dog is walking away.
Magdline Poynter, a Miller Street resident ad-dressed the council next, saying “This has always been a problem. We’ve always had a problem with dogs. I keep a switch on my porch at all times,” she said because of dogs coming into her yard.
“I’ve been chased away from my clothesline….I can’t walk to the store.” She mentioned one child in town had been bitten in the face. “I’m asking you how many more is going to get hurt before you do something. There’s older people who can’t get away from (the dogs). If you don’t do something it causes trouble and hard
feelings between neigh-bors and somebody’s go-ing to get hurt. I’m asking you, what do we have to do tonight to get you to make a response.”
Donnita England, a South Main Street resi-dent, addressed the coun-cil about the dog issue and also about farm ani-mals in residential neigh-borhoods. She would like to see an ordinance ban-ning livestock in residen-tial areas.
Gilley responded that the only animal related ordinance the city has right now is a nuisance ordinance.
Mayor Garrett said he felt the first thing the council needs to address is the dog issue and Gil-ley was asked to look into similar dog ordinances in other cities and report back to the council.
On second reading the council passed an ordi-nance banning the sale and possession of syn-thetic marijuana. As a fifth class city, the city is limited to imposing a $250 fine and 90 day sentence for anyone who breaks the synthetic mari-juana ordinance.
The council also passed an ordinance to adopt the uniform state building code.
In other business, the council voted to par-ticipate in the UK Safety Circuit Rider program, in which a team will identify and attempt to find ways to decrease the number of traffic accidents on ac-cident prone areas within the city. The county is also participating in this program.
