The continued development of the park's new Midway, which featured the Gemini double-racing roller coaster last year, will include the addition of foods and games buildings, according to William E. Near, vice-president of operations. He said total capital expenditures are expected to reach $4 million, the second largest capital Improvements program in the company's history. One of the rides to be added is the Wildcat, which will replace an older model Wildcat. It is an all-steel roller coaster with individual cars that travel through a series of overlapping and interlocking hills in a figure-eight design.

It will be located near the Space Spiral, the park's 285-foot observation ride at the front of the park. It is 50 feet high and the four-passenger cars travel the track length in under two minutes. A "kiddie coaster" will also be new at Cedar Point next year. It will be located across from Gemini on the park's new Midway, Near said. Cedar Point now has six roller coasters, the most of any amusement or theme park in the country, Near said.

Four have been added since 1976. A new rides area in Frontiertown will also be opened at Cedar Point in 1979, Near said. The Wave Swinger, a single-seat swinging ride will be the highlight along with the relocation of several children's rides from the front of the park. The Wave Swinger is a circular ride with passengers seated in swings. It will be situated in Frontiertown near the entrance to the Frontier Trail theme area.

Three children's rides will be taken from Kiddieland to the new area. A redesigned loading station to allow a greater ride for the Gemini and the renovation of the Centennial Theater are also planned for 1979, Near said.

here. PERRYSBURG The adult education division at Penta County Vocational School here is conducting a small business management program. It is believed to be the first in the area, according to school officials. The main purpose of the program is to assist small business operators in achieving their business and family goals through the improved management, organization and operation of their business. The program is funded by the State Department of Education, Division of Vocational Education, and aims to bring the benefits of instruction in business management to small business operators and their families.

School officials said the need for this type of program is evidenced by recent figures from the United States Small Business Administration (SBA), which show that small business constitutes 95 percent of all operating businesses in the country and employs 40 percent of the total work force. According to the SBA, about 440,000 small businesses open up each year and 400,000 fail. Business record analysis will be a featured part of the program. Up-to-date records are kept of all business transactions and important- family expenditures. At the close of each business year, the record is analyzed to determine the strengths and weaknesses.

Richard M. Everhardt, will be coordinating the program. Included will be monthly class sessions at the Ocnool, small group instruction by tan and monthly individualized instruction by him in the business of each participant. During these visits, subjects from the class are applied to the individual business. Those who would like more information on the program should contact Everhardt at the school at 666-1120.
