| 'Tis the alternate-side seasonWINONA, Minn., Oct. 31, 2001 -- Police were set to ticket cars parked on the wrong side of the street at midnight, a perennial mark of the coming cold season. From Nov. 1 to April 1, you can park from 1 to 6:30 a.m. only on the odd-numbered side of the street on odd-numbered days. It's the other side the next night. There are no snow plows out yet, of course, but the cops want to get you trained early. Getting ticketed is the least of the hassles if you're towed. Everyone's favorite tow company, Borkowski, charges $80 or so to retrieve your car. |

A WOMAN"

| WINONA, Minn., Oct. 31, 2001 -- The Winona Film Society has drilled a peep hole for Winona to see into different nations with its annual independent film screening. The Winona Art Center's activities director, Mary Kaye Perrin, said this weekend features "The Day I Became A Woman," directed by Marzieh Meshkini. The film tells separate stories of women on the island of Kish at different stages of their life. First, there's the 9-year-old girl who is told she can no longer play with boys because she's a woman, hence the title. The next is about a woman who rides in a bicycle race against her husband's wishes. The last story tells of an elderly woman who is in town on a shopping spree after acquiring wealth. "We really feel it's important to show foreign movies -- movies you wouldn’t be able to see at the Winona 7," Perrin said.
