Compromise Envisioned In Workshop Day Care Dispute
In La Crosse County a dispute over who will run the day care program for developmentally disabled adults continues. A Saturday meeting between Riverfront Activity Center and Medary School and Workshop officials is planned at 8 am. Tensions rose with the resignation of Medary board member Sally Levenstein after a closed session. Kerry Nelson was named acting director pending a permanent appointment to replace Dorothy Kuechmann. Riverfront seeks talks with Medary as Jan 1 transfer looms. State officials caution funding may hinge on the outcome and endorsement. Riverfront has since incorporated and elected directors.

Aviation Board Pushes To Put Airport Master Plan On Books
La Crosse aviation board urged adopting the proposed airport master plan to pave the way for state and federal aid, while noting adoption would not commit the city to proposals. The plan envisions a $3.9 million passenger terminal, a parallel taxiway, expanded parking, radar, and related work. Board also moved to lease space to Marilyn Boland for a news stand and gift shop and ordered a contract for nonaviation storage in T-hangars amid concerns over safety and ongoing revenue of about $10,300 over six years.
