Neighbors differ on barking dogsWINONA, Minn., Sept. 30, 2002 -- Neighbors at Sarnia and Liberty streets expressed mixed feelings about the barking dog case that resulted in a five-day jail term and $100 fine for Nathan Russell. One neighbor, Peter Simon III, called the two Irish setters annoying: "Anytime someone walks by, they won't shut up." Two neighbors who complained to police have children who they say have been kept up on school nights. Matt Kinsman, a senior at Winona State University, said he wasn't bothered: "They bark when someone makes a noise close to their kennel, but that's what dogs do, so I don't see a problem as long as Nathan takes care of them and pays more attention to what time his dogs are making noise at night." Simon, although bothered by the noise, said the dogs, Katie and Friday, appear to be in good shape and well cared-for. They smell, though, he said. "They are out in the yard a lot and seem to lay wherever they please, as most dogs do," said Simon, "and so they might lay in something that isn't necessarily clean." Other residents have not had a problem with the noise, saying that the owner is responsible and usually brings the dogs in when they begin to bark. "He seems to take really good care of his dogs," said Jeff Erickson, a Winona State juinior. "He just needs to let them inside more."

New WSU fund-raiser on five-year contractWINONA, Minn., Sept. 30, 2002 -- The new Winona State fund-raising director for ongoing gifts and athletic donations, Dan Schumacher, said the university needs to find new revenue streams. "To make a significant impact, within two years the revenue stream should be doubled," said Schumacher. The need is critical, he said, noting cutbacks in government funding and the sagging economy. Schumacher, who has a five-year contract that starts at $52,500, said the university's upcoming capital campaign should help dramatically. "I want to leave this campsite better than it was when I arrived," he said. The capital campaign, to be launched in November, will seek nearly $35 million. According to Schumacher, who has 12 years experience in financial institutions, said alumni affiliated with major corporations will be targeted. Schumacher, a former Winona State football player, said solicitations will go to season ticket-holders for varsity sports because they have self-identified themselves as loyal Winona State supporters.

Iowa prof offers math teaching tipsWINONA, Minn., Sept. 27, 2002 -- A math prof from the University of Northern Iowa told 75 Winona State University education students that kids develop computational fluency only if they go through distributed problem-solving to develop flexible thinking and a sense of numbers. Edward Rathmell quoted from the Journal of Math and Science Theories that children need an average of 20 hours of studying to grasp new math concepts fully. Specifically, he recommended conceptual previews to make sense of the needed thinking; lessons to learn to record the skill or perform the skill mentally without using a model; and conceptual reviews to practice these symbolic skills. "This just basically means that kids need multiple ways to represent whatever you're studying, whether it's algebra, geometry or calculus," said Rathmell.

Democrat women call on collegians: VoteWINONA, Minn., Sept. 26, 2002 -- One vote can make a difference, the wife of U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., told more than 70 Winona State University students. Said Sheila Wellstone: "Let us not, as Democrats, wake up on the morning after the election and say, 'If I'd only done one more thing.'" She was not speaking strictly to Democrats. Eight members of the campus College Republicans chapter attended the speech with signs for Wellstone challenger Norm Coleman. Sara Babbitt, a College Republican, said: "We are not here to change minds. We are here to let those who are ignorant about politics know that there is more than one side. Hopefully they'll ask questions." Wellstone was among three Democratic women making a Wnona campus stop. With her were Senate candidate Sharon Ropes and lieutenant governor candidate Julie Sabo. The women said that by electing Democrats, students would benefit from increased higher-ed funding. Sabo called for reprioritizing funding and widening the tax base. All three women said that these things would not happen under Coleman. "If you think you can change Norm Coleman's mind after the election, you are wrong," Sabo said. The election is Nov. 5.

Speaker: 9/11 damage lingers psychologicallyWINONA, Minn., Sept. 24, 2002 -- Psychological damage from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks was far worse than the physical losses, an American University economics prof told several hundred people at Winona State University. "When you compare the $30 to 40 billion damage bill as a result of 9/11 to the $1 trillion total economy, the enormity of these attacks doesn't seem as large," said Schiller. Hurricane Andrew in 1992 had more impact on Florida's economy, he said, because the $30 billion damage total was a greater percentage of the state's entire economy. The 9/11 psychological damage can be measured in many ways, Schiller said: "After 9/11 not only did we need economic security but also physical security. Which explains why most of us didn't leave our houses immediately afterwards." Personal savings have been affected, he said. Before 9/11, Americans were spending $1,001 to every $1,000 they were making. However, after 9/11 everyone started to save, worsening the recession.
