Elian’s father seeks visa amid Miami protests
Elian Gonzalez’s father asked Thursday for a U.S. visa to bring the boy to Cuba as dozens of anti-Castro activists demonstrated outside the Miami home. Immigration talks with the boy’s relatives ended without a resolution and were to resume Monday. INS officials warned of losing Elian’s right to stay if relatives did not sign written custody terms, while a third clause could suspend temporary custody of the boy if a major development arose.

North Lawrence growth eyed as planners seek input
Lawrence city planners will hold a 6:30 p.m. public meeting at the Union Pacific Depot to gauge development potential north of North Street, with water and sewer lines to the airport seen as a factor. Long range planner Brian Dyer says the area could become residential with some commercial use at the US 2440 and East 1500 Road intersection, contingent on landowner involvement.
