Author telling Albert Lea strike from other sideWINONA, Minn., Nov. 15, 2001 -- The author of a book on working-class Minnesotans caught in mid-20th century labor strife, Cheri Register, said many chroniclers of the period overlook the workers. "Most people who read about the strike hate unions but only because what is often portrayed are the casualties and other bad that happened during the strikes, not why the union went on strike." Rehister told a Winona State University audience. "Supporting a family on $7 an hour is very hard to imagine." Register, 14 at the time of the Albert Lea, Minn., strike against Wilson's, said her book, "Packinghouse Daughter," is drawn from her experience witnessing the effects of the strike firsthand. It was a major influence in her life, she said.

Moralists push county for adult-biz limits
MORSE Profile checks, health checks advertising limits |
|
| WINONA, Minn., Nov. 15, 2001 -- Moralists put up a fight against the Third Street porn shop to Winona County Planning Commission. A leader of the anti-porn STOP organization, Therese Bernadot, said the commission should go beyond limiting where porn shops are located. "Location of the porn shop is not enough." Bernadot said, calling sexually oriented businesses a threat to the community. At issue was a proposed ordinance requiring sexually oriented businesses to be at least 1,000 feet from residential areas and any other adult business and at least 1,500 feet from any church, school or youth facility. STOP member Joe Morse said the ordinance leaves out consideration of playgrounds, parks, schools, and libraries being near an adult business. Morse proposed a background check of adult business owners and a periodical check by the Public Health Department to see how the business is run. Morse also asked for control of offensive signs and billboards advertising the porn shop. Twenty-six poeple attended the hearing. The commission will discuss the proposed ordinance further Dec. 20.

Petition gathers signatures for prof's free speechWINONA, Minn., Nov. 15, 2001 -- A Winona State University senior circulated a petition to support prof Barry Peratt's freedom to post material on his office door and walls. Within three hours Ross Rosemark and four fellow students had obtained 200 signatures. Rosemark said he seeks 1,000. He began the petition after hearing that a complaint had been filed against Peratt by women's studies prof Tamara Berg and several students who found the material offensive. Rosemark said he wasn't offended by the posters and articles, which dealt with homosexuality: "They were there to inform, not to persuade." Rosemark called Berg unfair, noting that she puts up posters that deal with abortion, which offends many people. Rosemark, who is studying computer science, said he didn't necessarily agree with the Peratt's posters. Freedom of expression is the issue, he said. Rosemark said the petition will go to Tess Kruger, a lawyer, who is handling the complaint for the university.

Holstad: Northern Sun can bask in WSU berth
| HOLSTADNow a drawing card |
|
| WINONA, Minn., Nov. 15, 2001 -- Winning an NCAA regionals berth is a signal that the Winona State University football program is attracting student-athletes who are able to compete at a level not seen before, said Athletic Director Larry Holstad. When a team in the Northern Sun conference makes a NCAA post-season tournament it improves the reputation of the entire league, Holstad said. Coach Tom Sawyer agreed: "Getting national recognition like this adds to the entire conference's recruiting efforts." Sawyer expects around 14,000 fans for Round 1 at the University of North Dakota, including 2,000 to 3,000 Winona State fans. The team leaves Friday morning for Grand Forks and will practice at 5 p.m. in the Alerus Center. NCAA rules allow 52 players to dress for the game.

Lawyer: Stop "thought police" bullyingWINONA, Minn., Nov. 14, 2001 -- A free expression advocate, Dean Lanz, called on concerned citizens to attend a County Planning Commission hearing on a pornography limitation proposal and state their constitutional concerns. Lanz was concerned that "a small handful of fanatics" will pack the hearing room "to force their ideas of what the rest of us should be allowed to read or watch." Lanz, a lawyer, is a Winona State University grad. He characterized the STOP moralist group, which favors restrictions, as "self-appointed thought police." He accused the group of scare tactics.

Although in Rome, WSU play "Naked" is usWINONA, Minn., Nov. 14, 2001 -- A play set in Rome in the 1920s, which opens this month at Winona State University, will make sense to a 21st century U.S. audience, said the director, prof Vincent Landro. The play is Luigi Pirandello's adults-only "Naked." "In a culture that detests uncertainty, that tries to tame the future with prophecies by televised experts who pass as soothsayers, Pirandello's play has a startling resonance," said Landro. "As we try to find the 'story behind the story,' Pirandello tells us that we never really know the truth about anyone -- not even ourselves." Set in Rome during the 1920s, the story begins with a newspaper report about a young woman who has attempted suicide after being abandoned by her lover and then fired from her job. The media then make her a celebrity. After recovering, the woman struggles to become a person of value and respect but discovers those around her demand she accept their own version of her identity, Landro said. Date: Nov. 29 to Dec. 2

"Each of us has to take personal responsibility for implementing
this policy," said committee co-chair Cindy Duley. "That won't happen unless everyone knows what our policy is." The e-mail message's goal was awareness, Duley said. The policy provisions are:
> Enforce current smoking perimeter around dorms to 25 feet. > Set no-smoking perimeters of 25 feet for academic buildings. > Begin the process of making a smoke free campus. |

Booze problem laid to dorm overcrowdingWINONA, Minn., Nov. 14, 2001 -- Dorm overcrowding is a factor in alcohol-related neighborhood problems at Winona State University this fall, said campus housing chief Michael Porritt. "Overcrowding may be deterring some students from returning to the dorms," Porritt said, noting that sophomore and juniors are moving off campus sooner. "There is a lot more freedom when you live off campus," Porritt said. "For some students there is just too much temptation to party." Porritt believes that drinking is less a problem in the dorms than off campus. Twenty-four percent of dorm students said in a survey last year that they don't drink at all. Another 22 percent said they have fewer than three drinks a week. Porritt sees dorm punishment as a deterrent. Students caught in the dorms face community service and must enroll in an alcohol education course. Students with two alcohol offenses in the dorms are kicked out.

Porn foe wants turnout at county hearingWINONA, Minn., Nov. 14, 2001 -- Moralist Therese Bernadot called for a show of force at a County Planning Commission meeting at which an anti-porn ordinance is on the agenda. "Even if you choose not to speak at the meeting, your presence would speak to the commission," Bernadot said.Date: Nov. 15 Time: 7 p.m. Place: 177 Main St. | Bernadot's group, STOP, suffered a constitutional blow from a Minneapolis federal judge in its crusade against the Third Street porn shop over the summer, but, she said, the fight must go on. "You may feel you have had enough of the issue of sexually oriented businesses. But as long as these types of businesses exist and as long as they continue to threaten the very fabric of our community, silence regarding this issue is unacceptable." |

BERNADOT Fight on |
COMMENT: STILL WAITING NIL PORN CRIME EFFECT Foes of the Third Street porn shop cite alarming stats from other cities that suggest horrific neighborhood crime increases after somebody sets up a porn business. They're talking murder, rape, robbery.
But the alarmists never offer their sources. Nor do they explain the research methodologies that generated their numbers.
Here is our own empirical record on what's happened to Winona's crime rate since Oct. 17, 1999, when Downtown Book and Video opened. |
