Recapping Feigl story with Clott

Peter Feigl joined to tell us his incredible story of surviving the Holocaust — the many ways his life was saved — losing his parents to the Auschwitz concentration camp and what he did after WWII. 

Feigl will be in La Crosse on Wednesday, telling this story and answering audience questions at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center. People should get there at 6 p.m., because every seat will be filled for the free event. It will also be livestreamed here.

Also joining is Darryle Clott, Holocaust educator at Viterbo, who helped set this conversation up.

After Feigl tells his story, Clott talks about some of the new details he shared, the importance of his telling this story and how Viterbo prioritizes Holocaust education to teachers with workshops throughout the year.

Aron Newberry in the WIZM studio to talk about why he’s running for city council, his experiences and a couple of his top issues including city administrator, housing and past votes on the REACH Center.

Newberry is running in District 9 against incumbent Chris Woodard. Read more here about the candidates, who answered the WIZM questionnaire.

We began the conversation talking about Newberry’s work experiences and what he feels would help in his role on the council.

After that, we got into some of the top issues looking ahead, including the potential creation of a city administrator position, the city’s zoning changes, city taxes and housing.

We ended on a past city council issue that involved the REACH Center, which also had to do with zoning changes but went to vote a few different times.

Women Build Program

First-time homebuyers program

La Crosse Housing Week

Housing Week events

Neighbor's Day

Kahya Fox, executive director of Habitat For Humanity of the Greater La Crosse Region, in the WIZM studio Thursday for La Crosse Talk discussing all things housing, as they get set for the Women Build Program this weekend, plus the first-ever housing week, preceded by Neighbor’s Day next month.

We also discussed Habitat’s first-time homebuyers program, which just led to a discussion about housing in general and the dilemmas that La Crosse — and everywhere — are facing.

In the midst of that conversation we began to highlight the first-ever La Crosse Housing Week that’s happening at the end of next month (April 28-May 3) with Habitat, Coulee Cap, AARP and the city of La Crosse. Fox mentioned some of the events scheduled and that more are to come.

We ended the show talking about Neighbor’s Day, which is April 26. That’s a program where volunteers help spring clean the houses and yards of those in need. Habitat is looking for volunteers, as well as those who would need a hand in getting things cleaned up.
