MCLEAN Prosecutor BROTHERS License in peril?

County Prosecutor Chuck McLean declined to comment on whether a Jan. 3 fight between two women at Brothers would affect the bar's liquor license renewal before the City Council on March 4. McLean did say, however, that Brothers Bar may become involved in the Juaire hearing because of "witnesses to the incident like bouncers and bartenders."

WINONA, Minn., Feb. 21, 2002 -- The court date for Anne Shelgren Juaire, a Florida college student charged with third-degree assault in a fight at Brothers Bar, has been set for March 8. In the fight, Jessica Kalmes was cut badly in the face. County Attorney Chuck McLean decided on the level of crime to prosecute. "The third-degree assault charge was based off of the amount of injuries Kalmes sustained," said McLean. Juaire was 20 at the time, too young to be in a bar legally. McLean said the judge, Jeff Thomson, may take that into consideration. "To what degree is uncertain," he said. At the hearing, McLean said, he will describe the events leading up to the incident, and the severity of the injury. Juaire will have an opportunity to officially hear what she is being charged with and asked if she understands the charge. Also she will be asked whether she needs an attorney supplied to represent her. She could enter a plea at the hearing but doesn't have to."Sentencing is up to the judge, but she is innocent until proven guilty," said McLean.

AL-AHMED 1998 WSU j-grad To avoid another Sept. 11, it will take a reformation of the government- sponsored school curriculum in Saudi Arabia, said Ali Al-Ahmed: "If bin Laden dies, and this policy or curriculum stays, we will have other bin Ladens."

Critic: Saudis must change hateful component in curriculum BOSTON, Feb. 22, 2002 -- Fifteen of the hijackers from Sept. 11 were taught "destructive thinking" in Saudi Arabian schools, the director of the Saudi Institute, an independent human rights group, said. These men came out of a system that teaches intolerance against anyone who is not a Salafi Muslim, said Ali Al-Ahmed, a Winona State University grad, in an interview for the Public Broadcasting System program "Frontline." With no separation of church and state in Saudi Arabia, the Salafis have complete control over all religious education, he said. Children are taught anyone who is not Salafi is inferior, he said. This includes the Shiite and Sunni Muslims along with Jews and Christians. "The religious curriculum in Saudi Arabia teaches you that people are basically two sides," Al-Ahmed said. "Salafis, who are the winners, the chosen ones, who will go to heaven. The rest are other Muslims and Christians and Jews and others." Textbooks contain passages like: "Oh, Muslim, oh, servant of God, this is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him." Al-Ahmed explained this is the type of lesson taught to 14-year-old boys, whether they attend private or public schools. These lessons of hate, Al-Ahmed said, contributed to what happened on Sept. 11. "Fifteen hijackers who are Saudis, they studied this thinking -- destructive thinking -- in Saudi Arabia," he said. "Government curriculum inspired what happened in New York." Reporter: Stacy Booth Background: Bin Laden named names

Aide: Ventura playing games? Don't be silly

VENTURA He who laughs last, laughs best

ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 22, 2002 -- An aide to Gov. Jesse Ventura denied that the governor was playing games with the Legislature by going home early on Thursday, which precluded the Legislature from delivering its budget. John Wodele said it's not unusual for the governor to leave at 4:30 p.m., coincidentally moments before a courier with the budget arrived. Legislative leaders scrambled to find Ventura and three of his staff people who could legally accept the budget document. They weren't to be found either in the Capitol or at home. By delaying acceptance of the budget, Ventura can put off his budget actions until emergency powers are available to him as governor when new tax projections are announced next week. Wodele denied anything other than business as usual in the governor's office -- no shenanigans. He added, however, that Ventura would value the extra time he now has to review the Legislature's fiscal plan. On higher-ed funding that affects Winona State and Southeast Tech, here is where the Legislature and Ventura stand: Governor: Cut MnSCU 5 percent ($32 million). Legislature: Cut MnSCU 3.8 percent ($22.6 million). Background: Ventura goes home early
