23 23 23 23 23 23 Weather Today should be a good day should be a pretty fine day today but. There's always that chance of suspense, says the weatherman, and he won't change his mind for today. The basic forecast is great partly sunny skies and warmer temperatures, readings as high as the mid-80s. That's just right for any kind of outdoor activity. But there is a chance of showers and thunderstorms, slight though it is.

The weatherman rates the chance of rain at 20 percent, but that could increase as the week wears on. The extended forecast calls for a chance of showers Monday and Tuesday and an even better chance Wednesday. Along with the chance of rain will come a midweek cooling trend. That will be another hint of the arrival of autumn, a followup to the strong hint we received late last week. After a high temperature of 60 Friday afternoon, the mercury sagged to 45 overnight before rebounding' to 60 Saturday afternoon.

And with sometimes heavy clouds scudding across the area Friday afternoon, it even looked like fall. While it was dry here, it rained elsewhere. Local observations Official Winona Weather Observations for the 24 hours ending at 6 p.m. Saturday. Maximum temperature 69, minimum 45, 6 p.m.

The one-vehicle accident took place at 1:55 a.m. in front of 713 Riverside Drive as Brodziski was heading north, coming into town. Mondovi Chief of Police Mike Birtzer said the driver told him he remembers his 1979 two door coupe "going end over end." After the sedan left the roadway, Birtzer said it traveled between two oak trees, peeling the bark off one of them, then bounced down an embankment, coming to rest on its top in the front yard of the George Thompson residence, about two feet from the house. Brodziski, who got out of the car under his own power, was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Peerless (Continued from page 3a) director of industrial relations, for the company.

In all, there were about 20 negotiating sessions, about five with a federal mediator whose assistance was requested after the two sides reached an parent impasse earlier this summer. Following an Aug. 30 session with the mediator, the company made what it described as a final offer. This would have provided wage increases of 11 percent in the first year, percent in the second and the third-year wage reopener. Together with fringe benefits, company officials estimated the total package represented an approximately 23 percent improvement in contract benefits for the first two years.

The following day the offer was put to a vote of the union membership with no -recommendation by the local's bargaining committee. The proposal at that time was rejected by 287-70 vote. Immediately after, a strike authorization vote, in the event contract settlement could not be reached, drew 350-10 sup port. Following notification of the union action, company executives met with Stockman and his committee to identify major issues to dispute. The union and company bargaining teams then resumed negotiations Wednesday morning.
