The state has made a major commitment," to expanding Am-trak service to Madison and the Fox River Valley, Black said, but that is merely a first step and must be coupled with funding from the federal government. The state budget passed in July included $50 million in bonding authority to help with the expansion of service to Madison and Green Bay. Railroad passenger service ended in those cities in 1971. With assistance from Congress, passenger trains could be linking Wisconsins three largest Metropolitan centers by 1995, Black said. Currently, service runs from Milwaukee to Chicago and the Twin Cities, but the closest community to Madison with Amtrak service is Columbus.

Expanding Amtrak service to Madison and Green Bay will be an important step toward a more balanced transportation system that offers citizens more options to meet their transportation needs," Black said. In order to get congressional assistance for restoration of passenger read service to Madison and Dane County, we need to demonstrate strong public support, at tonights hearing Black said. The hearing will be held in room 421 South of the state Capitol. By Mike Miller The Capital Times Those who like to ride the rails may want to let the government know tonight that they would like passenger rail service restored to Madison and Green Bay. The Assembly subcommittee on passenger rail transportation will hold a public hearing at 6:30 p.m.

More likely, she said, is that the gradient will push the contaminants up into the lake as the pilings are pounded in. "Id say the probability is low that groundwater will be contaminated during construction, she said. But former well driller and center foe Ron Shutvet produced his own charts and logs with colored cutaway drawings of the site.

His drilling experience, he said, gave him "a 3-D sense of looking at things underground and figuring out whats there." Shutvet called Bahrs analysis shallow and inadequate. I went into far more detail than the previous speaker did, he said. In the end, commissioners believed the professor. Center Continued from Page 3A Opponents who believe the center will adversely affect Lake Monona plan to file suit to block construction. City officials, however, say the project is running on time and have suggested politely that if the County Board deletes funds for the project next year, the county could be violating the terms of a city-county contract.

Madison Mayor Paul Soglin says he is dismayed by Saras attempt to revive a debate that was settled by the County Boards decision last spring to fund the center.

Scott Klugs Madison office was open on Veterans Day, said Chief of Staff Brandon Scholz. A report in The Capital Times Friday said representatives of the Wisconsin Student Public Interest Research Group had attempted to contact Klug to back a WISPIRG rally for a national returnable bottle bill but found his local office closed. George Austin, city plan director, was not sure if Frank Lloyd Wright had fishing in mind when he designed the center, but he said designers would look into it for their final sketches. If its good fishing up there, youll have people fishing regardless of whether we have signs posted, Austin said. The commissions approval of the resolution sends it to the City Council.

The project also awaits approval by the Army Corps of Engineers, which is expected to make a decision in January. The corps has extended its public comment period to Dec. 22. But even ore then, Anne Fleischli, a Madison attorney, said foes will challenge the project in court. Within 30 days, Fleischli said she would file a lawsuit challenging the projects environmental impact statement.

There are more lawsuits to come, she said. We have a number of recourses to pursue, and we will, Fleischli said. From our perspective, this is something that is an abuse of our environmental assets.

Health center The South Madison Health and Family Center will be using a $500,000 federal grant to help in its expansion plans. The money will be used in part to hire coordinators of a larger project, the construction of a new $3 million center. Rough architectural sketches of the new center were tacked to the partitions that separated officials from the noise of young children in an adjacent room as officials announced the grant Monday. Ann Haney, adminstrator with the state Department of Health and Social Services, said the centers one-stop shopping model Teachers Continued from Page 3A do not find a way to resolve the contract dispute, it will tear apart this community and each other, she said. Only those who want that to happen, including some people in state government, will be happy, she said.

We do need to remember that it is ultimately our community and our children that are at stake here, she said. The teachers became more brazen Monday in their push for a new contract as hundreds of them protested outside the windows of the Doyle Administration Building while the board met inside in closed session on an unrelated matter. One teacher rapped a picket sign near the window while others slapped their signs with their hands and chanted Negotiate now. Teachers from Sun Prairie, Evansville and Stoughton attended the rally in support and other union leaders spoke to the teachers gathered outside the windows. Youre fighting for the integrity of collective bargaining and for fair funding of public education, said David Newby, secretary-treasurer of the Wisconsin AFL-CIO.

Lionel Sparks, president of Madison Firefighters Union Local 311, echoed Newbys sentiment, saying, Youre fighting the fight for all of us. host reception MGE is a longtime business member of the foundation, which is a local land trust dedicated to the protection and preservation of natural areas in Dane County.

Just to make sure, 13 measures were added to the resolution in an effort to prevent lake pollution during construction. Among them are plans to manage stormwater runoff. Also, silt curtains will be attached to floats at the surface and anchored at the lake bottom to block contaminants percolating up as the pilings are pounded. Absorptive booms in the silt curtain will help contain oil products released during construction. A UW student asked if the fish might be hurt by even those minuscule amounts of contaminants.

Lathrop said no. Citing a UW-Madison study, he said a few bluegill schools might spawn at the site blue-gill spawn in almost any shallow, warm port but smallmouth and largemouth bass have not been found there. But Lathrop said that the pilings might act as a sort of unnatural reef to which fish might gravitate. monious debate that led to our negotiated agreement, he said. So far, Saras proposal has gained the support of 13 co-sponsors.

All but one voted against county funding for the convention center earlier this year. None of the 23 board members who voted for the project this spring have shown any signs of defecting to Saras side. In fact, Supervisor Tammy Baldwin, who co-sponsored Saras proposal and originally opposed the convention center, now supports a compromise plan to budget the money but not borrow the funds until city officials assure the county the project is under way. Baldwin says her support for the Sara proposal was driven by financial concerns: if the county doesnt need the money, it shouldnt borrow it. But Baldwin added the county must abide by the contract with the city regardless of what one thinks of the project.

Hilldale Fresh BLUE MARLIN MIDVALE BLVD. sent three inmates to respiratory isolation cells at Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage. In response to a positive culture test from one inmate at the Waupun prison, the head of health services ordered TB testing for all of the facilitys 1,150 inmates and 350 to 400 workers. While there have been between eight and 12 inmates put in isolation throughout the year, two have been found to have full-blown tuberculosis. The three cases last week marked the first time so many potential cases had been discovered in such a short period of time.

Corrections officials downplayed concerns that the disease may be spreading. I am concerned about the possibility of inmates having active TB in the corrections system. I am concerned about that every day, said Sharon Zunker, head of the Bureau of Correctional Health. Linda Kleinsteiber, acting manager of the health services unit at Waupun, said the tests during the weekend were unprecedented. We have never done a mass testing before, she said Monday.

Inmates at Waupun were confined to their cells over the weekend, and the prison canceled all non-essential programming, such as recreation activities. She said the skin tests inmates receive when they come in, as well as yearly tests, are ample preventive measures. But state Rep. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, who chairs the Committee on Elections, Constitutional Law and Corrections, said the department must implement more programs systemwide to deal with TB.
