Costello campaign picks up town crier

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 15, 2002 -- A Winona State University student had his attempt at late night political campaigning cut short by police. Steve Adams, a junior, was walking home after partying at Shyde's when he tripped over a Justin Costello campaign sign in a friend's front yard. Adams, who at that point had removed his shirt, remembers approaching the house of he friend who had called out to him when he tripped over the blue and white sign. According to Adams, he apologized and his friend, who told him it was fine and to keep the damaged sign. Adams took the sign and preceded to run shirtless around the west side of town screaming, "Vote for Justin Costello." Adams was unsure how long his drunken advertising expedition lasted before it was cut short by authorities. "When you're in the state I was in that night, anything can seem like a long time," said a laughing Adams. The officers approached Adams, asked about the sign, and then called a cab to give him a ride home. "I was really surprised they called a cab," Adams said. "They could have very well slapped me with some kind of nuisance fine." Adams, however, did not wait for the cab because he didn't have enough money left over from his night of heavy partying. Adams walked home, still shirtless, but now silent and without the sign.

Roommate: Hunting dogs not bad barkers

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 15, 2002 -- Street construction noise was bad enough during the day for people at Sarnia and Liberty, but the barkings dogs at night became just too much. Nathan Russell, 371 Liberty St., has been fined and jailed for the barking, but whether all the noise was from his two Irish setters is in dispute. Russell may appeal. In an interview, his housemate, Crystal Kutchara, said: "There are too many dogs in the neighborhood to detect whose dog was barking." She noted that Russell's dogs are trained for hunting: "They don't bark for no reason." Russell, in his mid 40s, lives in the upstairs half of a blue duplex with a kennel on the side of the house. Kutchara explained that there is a door for the dogs to go in and out as they please and are always supervised. "Someone is always here to watch them, when Nate isn't here, then I am," said Kutchara. " "This makes him feel like he wants to move because he is not going to get rid of his dogs." Russell was unavailable to comment because he went away to relieve some stress, Kutchera said. She described him as "very upset."

Nurse: Yes, college condom training needed

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 15, 2002 -- Many college students need a course in using condoms, said the student health director at Winona State University in response to a study at one university. Diane Palm said that the study showed that college-age men may not be using condoms correctly. Findings from the study, conducted at Indiana State, rang true to her clinical experience, Palm said. The study found that 30 percent of men who had used a condom in the previous three months put the condom on upside down; 40 percent did not leave space at the tip; 43 percent put condoms on after starting sex; 15 percent took condoms off before finishing; and 42 percent wanted to use a condom but didn't have any available. Palm said, "There is always a lot of smirking when condoms and condom use is discussed, but males and females are really lacking in education about their correct use."

"Dead Man" author speaks against death penalty

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 14, 2002 -- A crusader against capital punishment, Helen Prejean, called for an end to executions in a speech at Winona State University. "We freeze-frame a person in their most terrible act of life and we say this is the essence of who they are," said Prejean. Known mostly for her book "Dead Man Walking," recounting how she accompanied a death-row inmate to the electric chair, Prejean called the death penalty inappropriate. Capital punishment, she said, excludes the idea of redemption: "We forget that people can change." The death penalty is unfair to the poor as well as minority groups, she said, claiming unfair trials can put them on death row whether guilty or not.

Sarnia-Huff stoplight work under way

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 12, 2002 -- More than four years after being proposed, a stoplight is being installed at the dangerous Huff and Sarnia intersection. "Lights will help to move traffic more efficiently through the intersection and provide a safer crossing area for pedestrians," said city Engineer Steve McBurney. If all goes as planned, the $140,000 project will be complete in late October or November, McBurney said. McBurney said he inherited the proposal when he became the city engineer more than four years ago, but the city kept trying to package it with other projects to save costs until finally deciding to go ahead. Bauer Electro-Tech of Winona won the bid. McBurney said his biggest safety concern during construction is pedestrian traffic, especially Winona State University students going back and forth to Lake Winona. Lanes will be closed for a few hours in late September when light detectors are laid in cement, he said.

Muslim leader cautions against paranoia

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 12, 2002 -- A Winona State University prof who is a leader in the Muslim community, Ahmed El-Afandi, said locally there is no dramatic change in day-to-day life since the terrorist attacks a year ago. Life goes on, El-Afandi said: "Everyone's back to where they were before." His life is busier, though. As president of the downtown Islamic Center, El-Afandi is in demand as a speaker. He said the biggest fear is the unknown, which he characterized as a national paranoia keeping people on the edge. "Nothing's going to happen. ItŐs like the boy who cried wolf." All of the scares and red alerts have people waiting for something to happen, he said. He said he doesn't want to minimize what happened in the attacks, but added that they were not the worldŐs first dramatic experience.

Legislative hopeful quits WSU student post

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 12, 2002 -- The chair of the Student Senate Public Relations Committee at Winona State University, Justin Costello, has resigned to pursue his candidacy for the state Legislature. Costello told senators that he had hoped to create a student-employer network as public relations chair, but his campaign for the Legislature won't leave him the time. "I will not be around much during the campaign season, and even less if I win," he said. Costello, a political science senior, said he was asked over the summer to challenge State Rep. Gene Pelowski, D-Winona, and had only two days to decide. He won the Republican primary Tuesday. The Student Senate accepted the resignation and named Kristin Calliguri to the post.

Favoritism in going light in booze cases?

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 12, 2002 -- Another voice of incredulity has been added against the City Council decision not to punish two locally owned establishments for selling liquor to minors. In a letter to the Daily News opinion section, Brian Mulvey suggested "preferential treatment" had been afforded Charlie's D&D and Third Street Liquor. For years, he noted, other booze vendors have been fined and their liquor licenses suspended. "Apparently the Winona City Council does its social imbibing at Charlie's D&D and stocks their home liquor shelves from Third Street Liquors," Mulvey said.

Heidel accepts jail without comment

For sentencing, Heidel wore a button-down, short-sleeve plaid shirt including pen in pocket; khaki pants; and brown leather shoes. He was clean-shaven and wore what appeared to be a wedding ring. He was somber, in a high-pitch answering "no" when the judge asked if he had anything to say. After the hearing Heidel sat alone outside the courtroom, his arms folded across his chest, like a hug. Asked to comment, Heidel shook his head no. Heidel pleaded guilty in early August to fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct. In exchange for the plea, the original third-degree charges was dropped.


WINONA, Minn., Sept. 10, 2002 -- The St. Mary's University student whose sexual assault complaint sent his former high school teacher to jail was aware of a prosecution and defense attorneys' agreement for a 48-hour weekend jail sentence, said prosecutor Lisa Swenson. The victim, whose name has been shielded in court documents, was not opposed to the short sentence -- which the judge overruled anyway and sent Christopher James Heidel, 36, to jail for 30 days. Swenson said the victim was less concerned about Heidel going to jail than being required to register as a sex offender and "get help." The victim did not appear in court. Judge Margaret Shaw Johnson required that Heidel register as a sex offender. About the 30-day sentence, Johnson said a psychological evaluation showed Heidel still in denial and blaming the victim. The sentence includes probation for up to 10 years, a $1,000 fine, polygraph testing and group sex-disorder treatment, a psychosexual evaluation, and submission of a DNA sample. Heidel was barred from employment or volunteer work that would put him in contact with children. Also, he must refrain from all pornography and have no contact with the victim.

Costello candidacy stirs WSU students

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 10, 2002 -- Many college students are cleaning up empty beer cans from their front yards to make room for political endorsements. Heightened political awareness among students may be attributed to Winona State University senior Justin Costello as the Republican candidate for the state House of Representatives. Seniors Jacob Schneider and Justin Roesner have a Costello sign at their 576 W. King St. residence. Schneider, wearing an Elect Justin Costello T-shirt, said he had viewed politics as something for old people until Costello jumped onto the scene. "Justin is young and ambitious," said Schneider. "A victory for him would say a lot about the students at our school." Said Roesner: "People in the community have a negative perception of students here thinking we're nothing but drunken hoodlums, but a student in the election mix will force them to look at us all differently." Down the street, junior Brad Agnew staked a Costello sign too, but his landlord took it down. The landlord didn't want people expressing their political interests on his property, said Agnew, who relocated the sign inside of the house. Besides signs, Costello has passed out T-shirts and stickers in downtown bars. After receiving a Costello sticker at Schyde's Bar, senior Nathan Greenberg said it's smart for Costello to fraternize with bar people: "People down heres votes count too."

WSU study: Half students study 10 hours max

Dorms Director Mike Porritt, who released the data, said the survey had an 88 percent response rate. He did not explain the disconnect between the data and the usual college standard that a student with typical aptitudes needs to average two hours of work outside of class for every in-class hour to earn a C, which would mean 32 hours of studying for a typical 16-credit load. Porritt said a majority of dorm students, 55 percent, reported holding down jobs while going to school.

Editorialist: City has some explaining to do

WINONA, Minn., Sept. 8, 2002 -- The chief editorialist at the Daily News, Jim Galewski, is dumbfounded by the City Council decision to waive fines and license suspensions for two booze vendors caught selling to minors. Galewski noted that for more than 10 years the Council has been firm -- but now has let two violators, Charlie's and Third Street Liquor, off scot-free. Last year a fine and suspension figured into putting Chucker's out of business, he noted: "I'm not sure what has changed the Council's attitude on bars, but the action -- or inaction -- from the Council Monday night was far from consistent."
