City sends Riot Act letter to booze vendorsWINONA, Minn., July 31, 2002 -- As if liquor store owners weren't already aware of new keg registration requirements, the city mailed them letters just to be sure. City Clerk Monica Hennessy said the letter included the new state law and city ordinance as well as a sample log sheet to list kegs by their ID numbers and the purchasers' name, address, party address and driver license number. Stores must keep the logs on file for 90 days to help police trace those contributing to parties that get out of hand.The requirements, aimed at college students, include a one-keg-per-customer limit unless special permission has been granted by the city for more.
Background: Keg registration law effective Aug. 1

Supper club plans bands, shuttlesWINONA, Minn., July. 30, 2002 -- The Black Horse supper club in suburban Homer will have weekend bands when it opens sometime in the fall, the new owners said, Shuttles will be offered, said Brendan Muldoon. There may be a couple of big-name bands a year. Muldoon and partner Shahram Mo Vafaei-Makhsoos characterize their restaurant as "casual fine dining" that fills a niche created with the closing of the Hot Fish Shop at Highway 61 and Mankato Avenue. The pair also own Zaza's pizzeria on Huff Street across from Winona State University. They aren't sure of the Blackhorse opening date because a county permit hasn't yet been granted.

Plan puts rail-bus-bike hub near WSUMotorists, cyclists and pedestrians bemoan rail traffic, but it isn't what it used to be. Winona once was served by five railroads. Now it's two, plus Amtrak's Empire Builder twice a day. Because freights were shorter in the old days and because the city had far more crossings, street delays were more frequent than today. Even so, rail traffic through the city is projected to increase:

| WINONA, Minn., July 28, 2002 -- A traffic plan for Winona's future, the result of a multi-year study by Chicago consultants, recommends a transportation hub at the Amtrak station for people to hop trains, buses and bicycles and make changes. The hub, two blocks from Winona State, could be in the middle of the university if campus expansion continues east in the direction of the Sarnia dorm on Franklin Street. The plan assumes that a proposed Chicago-Minneapolis light-rail system will bring 12 high-speed passenger trains a day through Winona. The current freight rail switching that halts traffic near campus would be eliminated by moving the Soo Line yard out toward Goodview. The consulting firm, Edwards & Kelcey, rejected a proposal to relocate the Soo mainline to the riverfront as too costly. Also, it would disrupt river access and recreation, require trains to slow down, and create environmental issues. What about traffic problems from keeping the tracks where they are now? Edwards & Kelcey recommended closing more crossings and building overpasses and underpasses. Huff Street would dip under the tracks at Winona State. Also, a pedestrian and bicycle underpass would be built at Johnson Street.

Franciscans to shutter Tau CenterWINONA, Minn., July 27, 2002 -- The Rochester Fransicans, once a major influence in Winona when they operated the College of St. Teresa, announced that their last remaining operation in the city, the Tau retreat and conference center, will close Aug. 30. Nine sisters who have operated the Tau Center after it was discontinued as a novitiate will move elsewhere, the order announced from its Rochester, Minn., headquarters. Four sisters will go to the mother house at Assisi Heights in Rochester. The building, a three-story structure of Biesanz stone, has been for sale for months without any takers. The structure was built in 1963, when the College of St. Teresa was in its heyday. Called Assisi Hall, it was home for 120 sisters completing their training and waiting to take their final vows. With a sudden decline in young women choosing the sisterhood, the building was renamed the Tau Center in 1973 and became a transit home for sisters between assignments. The dwindling number of sisters also operated the Tau Center for retreats and conferences but never made ends meet.

Proposal: WSU as center for child protectionWINONA, Minn., July 19, 2002 -- A proposal for the National Center for Prosecution of Child Abuse to locate a training center at Winona State University is being advanced by Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., in Washington. Wellstone and the center's senior attorney, Winona State grad Victor Vieth, who lives in Washington, developed the concept. The center, which would be located in the old Maxwell library, would be funded through federal money and private donations. Darrell Krueger, university president, said the center would give WInona State "a meaningful front-line role in serving our society's children." Krueger described other benefits:"Attorneys and law enforcement and social work professionals would be trained in a variety of related course material including understanding the language of children and applying that language to the law, custody issues, and protecting abused children from further abuse. Our social work, paralegal and criminal justice students can benefit from extended course offerings and nationally known guest speakers. Remodeled Maxwell facilities may be available for other university functions when the center is not using them."

Dues hike coming for St. T's tennis membersWINONA, Minn., July 17, 2002 -- A cost-study shows the money-losing St. T's Tennis & Sports would need to raise dues perhaps almost double, to get in the range of other facilities in the region, the new St. Mary's University manager of the St. Teresa campus said. Dave Ansell said tennis memberships typically are $300 in the Upper Midwest with #14 to $18 an hour for indoor courts. St. T's is $155 and $10.70 an hour. Ansell reported the figures at a meeting at which he assured members that St. T's would remain open but to expect a new rate structure. St. T's has six indoor and 12 outdoor courts plus a workout gym. An sell was less positive about keeping the gym open.

WSU student to seek Legislature seatST.

At Winona State, Costello is president of the Political Science Association, president of the WSU Investment Organization, a member of College Republicans, and a student senator. About being an underdog, Costello said that going into the primary election Sept. 10 and then the general election Nov. 5 at least will be "a great learning experience."
