NewsletterThe Retiree Center

May - S ummer 2018

Hello Retirees, Well, it took a while, but spring has finally sprung! I have the screen door open to the patio in the back of the Alumni House as I type this report, and the fresh air feels so good. The Retiree Spring Luncheon was held earlier today and it was fantastic. We had a great crowd and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was a fun and festive opportunity for people to reconnect after the long winter. We had several of our new 2017-2018 retirees in attendance, and I hope they were able to see that the Retiree Center has a lot to offer. Speaking of what we have to offer, this newsletter is filled with information about our upcoming events. Please check out the information about Grandparents University on page 7, and check out the sneak peek of our fall Senior University line-up of courses on page 4. I think this may be one of the best course rosters I’ve seen since I began work-ing at the Retiree Center. There is something for everyone on that list. Our summer Senior U course (Lake Winona: Natural History and Modern Ecology) has filled, but I am going to work with professors Jennifer Biederman and Dylan Blumentritt to add up to five spots to the enrollment. I will keep you posted by email. The following “Save the Dates” are not listed elsewhere in the newsletter, but I wanted to be sure to get this infor-mation out to you. I’ve secured tickets for some upcoming Orpheum Theater productions. I will put together day trips for each of these. First, at the request of several retirees, I have reserved main floor tickets to see Beautiful: The Carol King Musical on Monday, October 22nd for the 7:30 p.m. performance. I am also getting main floor tickets to see a matinee performance of Dear Evan Hansen on Sunday, June 9, 2019! I’ve heard so many great things about each of these plays, and I’m really excited to be offering these day trip opportunities to you. I’m also going to set up a short evening trip for dinner and a play in La Crosse. The La Crosse Community Theater has a fun roster of productions for 2018-2019, so I will be putting a trip together soon. Please let me know if you have any ideas for future day trips. In addition to our day trips, I’d like you to mark the following dates on your calendars. We will hold our annual Fall Social on Thursday, October 4th from 2:00-4:00 p.m. and our Winter Social will be held on Monday, December 10th from 2:00-4:00 p.m. We have reserved the American Legion for both events. It’s a great place for a party! As we get closer to summer, I want to remind you that my hours will become more limited. I have hired a new work-study student, Shaily Hoppe, to help us over the summer months, so we should be able to keep the Retiree Center open Monday-Friday from 8:00am-4:00pm for the entire summer. However, If you are planning to stop in at the Retiree Center and need to see Nancy or me, it makes sense to give us a call ahead of time to make sure one of us is in the office. Nancy and I want to wish each of you a very happy spring and summer!

The WSU Retiree Center Scholarship Committee has chosen the Retiree Center Scholarship recipients for academic year 2018-2019. The Retiree Center Scholarship is awarded to an un-dergraduate non-traditional student each year. The challenges that some of these students face are tremendous. The Scholarship Committee was incredibly impressed with the group of eight applicants this year. We had two applicants who bubbled to the top of our lists, and we simply couldn’t choose between them. So, we decided to give them both a $1,000 award for the upcoming academic year! Ourfirst recipient isCoryBennett.Cory lives inAustin,MNand is enrolled inourAustinElementaryEducation/K-6program.HegrewupinLosAngeles,CA,andwasabletoovercomemanyobstaclestomovetoMinnesotaandpursuehiseducationalandcareergoals.Hechosetheed-ucationfieldbecausehewantstobeapositiverolemodelforyouth,somethinghewisheshewouldhavehadasayoungperson.Asidefromtakingeighteencreditspersemester,healsohomeschoolshis two children and runs a seasonal business. Our committee was so inspired by Cory’s story and we are pleased to offer him scholarship funds for next year. Our second recipient is Waheed Khan. Waheed is a senior majoring in Comuper Science with a minor in Data Science. He hopes to one day open his own software consulting firm to offer personalized service to companies looking for strong and reliable technologywithin theirorganizations. In addition to attending school full-time, Waheed is a student leader on campus.

In the past, under-graduates have not only attended the discussion group, but have occasionally led the discussions as well. “This is such a valuable experience for our undergrad students and commu-nity members,” Kauphusman said. “Having this intergenera-tional discussion fosters meaningful discussions that need to be had. Each person is equal to another in this group, and so everyone has the opportunity to learn from each other and findcommonalities.” When askedwhy theydowhat theydo,KauphusmanandAmannbrought it back toWinonaState andkeepingpeopleconnected.“Alotof thepeoplewhohaveworkedatthisplacehaveworkedherefor10,20,30yearsor longer.Youdon’tseethatkindof loyaltytoaworkplacemuchany-more,” Kauphusman said. “Retiring can be a big life change, andwewanttomakeitsothatwhenyouwalkoutthedoor,youknowyou’realwaysapartof theWarriorfamily.” While Senior University is a great program offered by the Retiree Center, there are also many more social events tokeepretireesclosetoWinonaState.“Idon’tthinkmanyschools are aware of the value of having their retirees active in their school after they retire,” Kauphusman said. “We are uniqueinthatway,andthere’sabigbenefittoit,especiallytoour students.”

Under the auspices of the WSU Retiree Center, a discussion group, called the “War, Peace & Terrorism Discussion Group,” grew out of a Senior University course taught by retired Philosophy Professor, Don E. Scheid, in the spring of 2017.

The Group’s discussions include a fair share of friendly banter and are entirely informal and wide-ranging. The broad range of subject-matter can be indicated by a partial listing of topics taken up during the 2017-18 school year. These have included: • Should U.S. military remain in Afghanistan? • The clash of civilizations. • Russia’s threats and contributions to international peace. • Drones and cyber warfare. • North Korea’s nuclear program and nuclear strategy. • The Kurds and Kurdistan. • The “Cuckoo Clock theory” (do wars produce great art, literature and other good things?). Over the preceding months, attendance has varied from a handful to 20 or more. As an outreach to the Winona community, the W, P & T Discussion Group is open to everyone interested in the topics. The group of active members presently includes: people from the Winona community and WSU students, as well as WSU retirees, faculty and staff.

Meetings are held once per month in Maxwell Hall on the WSU campus. Don Scheid

Retirees in the News

Winona’s Gary Evans named partner at New York private equity firm Published in the Winona Daily News

NEW YORK — Gary W. Evans, the former president and CEO of Hiawatha Broadband Communications who held numer-ous positions at the Winona Daily News and Winona State University, has been named operating partner of ZRF Partners, a New York private equity firm.

The announcement was made by Faisal Nisar, ZRF founder and managing director. The two met while working on a business deal that eventually fell through, but not before they became friends.

“We resolved that at the right time, we would look forward to working together,” Nisar said in a press release announcing the hire. “That time, for many reasons, is now.”

In the release, Nisar lauded Evans work at HBC, pointing to acclaim from Obama administration broadband czar Susan Crawford, who called Evans a true visionary.

“Others have referred to his work in the customer service area as extraordinary, exemplary and having established a pattern for other firms seeking success to follow,” Nisar said.

Carol Jefferson is determined to prove Winona was stop on Underground Railroad Written by Kyle Farris/Winona Daily News

Carol Jefferson has spent the past four years trying to prove a point that still eludes her grasp: that runaway slaves once passed through Winona with the help of local abolitionists, making the city part of the Underground Railroad.

“This has the potential to change the way we view early Winona,” she said this week. “I think that’s pretty neat.”

Jefferson, 69, taught ecology at Winona State University for three decades, transitioning to Underground Railroad research when she was laid up with a broken ankle in 2014.

Now, back on her feet, she investigates points of interests in Winona and across the Midwest, snooping around secret base-ments and retracing the paths that runaway slaves followed to freedom more than 150 years ago.

She’s reluctant to go anywhere without a backpack full of literature on the subject, in case a certain passage happens to flit into her mind.

And she spends untold hours leaning over dusty books with faded cursive in the basement of Winona’s First Congregational Church, hoping to find, at last, the missing piece of the puzzle.

Under the guidance of WSU’s Landscape Arboretum director, Lisa Pearson, Arboretum Staff have been busy planting trees over the last two springs. Trees lost to construction, disease and insects, or storm damage have been replaced with trees having better disease and insect resistance and more interest to visitors. A few of the exceptional additions to the WSU Landscape Arboretum will be highlighted in today’s feature. One such replacement tree is the ‘Northern Flare’ Sugar Maple. The Sugar Maple is one of our Minnesota native trees but, surprisingly, very few of these majestic trees can be found on the WSU campus. This strikingly attractive ‘North-ern Flare’ Maple is very hardy and is known for its uniform reddish-orange fall color. The tree was originally found in the Sisseton, SD area. The new tree can soon be found south of Krueger Library taking the spot of a storm damaged Weeping Willow. An interesting introduction to our native tree collection is the Rock Elm, Ulmus thomasii. This tree has taken a most unusual journey to the WSU campus. Several years ago Jim and Nancy Reynolds took a trip up to the Zumbro Bot-toms and met with a retired forester from Lake City in search of Rock Elm seeds. Upon finding the seeds, Jim and Nancy brought them back to Winona where they carefully planted them in small containers in their backyard. Years later the small seedlings were transplanted to the WSU tree nursery where trees too small to survive on the main campus can grow and flourish. This past year, one of the Rock Elms was pronounced ready for the big leagues and was planted in a small garden between Krueger Library and Minne Hall. This year, several new additions to the garden will be made that reflect the natu-ral environment of the Rock Elm, including two Pagoda Dogwood trees. Plans this spring call for a new and improved cultivar of the London Plane Tree to be planted on the east side of Pasteur Hall. Introduced by the Morton Arboretum near Chicago, IL, the London Plane Tree is a rugged, long-lasting tree having exfoliating or peeling bark. It survives under the harshest urban settings. WSU introduced its first London Plane Tree ‘Bloodgood’ nearly 20 years ago close to the northeast corner of Tau Center. As implied in its name, the trees’ origin dates back to London almost 400 years ago. The new London Plane Trees will replace a number of female Ginkgo trees that were removed this past winter due to problems with overabundant fruiting. Acting on recommendations of the WSU Sustainability Committee, one Honeycrisp and one Sweet Sixteen Apple tree will be planted on campus this year. If this doesn’t satisfy your hunger cravings, a Bali Cherry tree with edible fruits is on its way. Finally, if a variety of berries strike your fancy, you may want to sample the new blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries that will soon grace the WSU landscape, adding a new element to the campus plant materials collection. Other interesting new tree plantings coming to the WSU Landscape Arboretum are two new Kentucky ’Decaf ‘ Cof-feetrees to complement our existing ‘Espresso’ Kentucky Coffeetrees. Maybe a new coffee shop in the middle of the campus is next! Finally, a a few notable tree additions from last spring include a ‘Shawnee Brave’ Bald Cypress (my favorite), two new Amur Maackia, ‘New Horizon’ and ‘Patriot’ disease resistant Elms, two ‘Red Rage’ Tupelo, and our Arbor Day planting that consisted of four ‘Regal Prince’ oak trees. Maybe this spring or early summer would be a good time to check out some of the new eye-catching and mouth-watering plantings on campus.

guest columnist: David Robinson

Two apparently random autobiographical facts that underpin this review; 1) The first time I can recall reading about Josef Stalin was in 1953 when I saw news of his death on the front page of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, while I was on my paper route. He was 74 at the time, the same age as I am now. 2) The first time I (literally) laughed myself out of a chair was in my sophomore year in col-lege when my mom gave me Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 for Christmas. The moment com-menced a lifelong affection, nay fascination, for what has been called “black humor,” the fictional melding of the comedic and the gruesome. So when I read about a new satirical movie called The Death of Stalin, I was drawn to it. Director Armando Iannucci—perhaps best-known for his tv political satire Veep—bases the film on a French graphic novel by Fabian Nury and Thierry Robin. He achieves a mixture of horror and laughter which is, sadly, befitting for the times we live in and the “leader(s)” we have, though he resists the urge to draw the parallels too explicitly. Though it was shot in 2016, the movie’s relevance has increased exponentially since November of that year. Stalin’s lingering death from a cerebral hemorrhage and the reaction of his political cronies, the ministers of the Central Committee, establish the tone of the story about the subsequent struggle to replace him or, in some cases, just to remain alive. The apparent winner, initially, is Lavrentiy Beria (played scarily by Simon Russell Beale), the ruthless head of the NKVD, the Russian secret police. He discovers the unconscious Stalin (Adrian McLoughlin), lying in a pool of his own urine, which quickly becomes the subject of a running joke amongst the survivors. Then he sets about trying to construct a set of, um, “alternate facts” and consolidate power in various nefarious ways. Beria’s first call is to Nikita Khrushchev (Steve Buscemi), then the Moscow Party Head, but a guy with his eyes on the main prize. He seems feckless, almost servile at first. (For instance, he and his wife keep a list of the jokes Stalin laughs at in an attempt to please the Great Man.) Not yet the Khrushchev who banged his shoe on his desk at the United Nations and threatened the USA, “we will bury you,” he is still a man of boundless nervous energy and bursts of profanity. Gradu-ally, the film’s focus shifts to him, as he proves the superior conniver. The apparent heir to the throne, Deputy General Secretary Georgy Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor), is quickly revealed as a poseur, a dupe who is in way over his head but tries to bluff his way through. A similarly comic buffoon, though a more lethal one, is Stalin’s drunkard son, Vasily (played over the top by Rupert Friend). He stands in sharp contrast to his griev-ing sister, Svetlana (Andrea Riseborough), who sniffs out the plots afoot and must, therefore be sidelined without actually being disposed of. She delivers one of the film’s most telling (and resonating) lines when, watching the adoring workers and peasants stream past Stalin’s bier, she marvels that nobody even ordered them to do so. If this summary sounds a bit like farce, that’s not a bad label for this movie. As usual in that ancient genre, some of it works and some of it doesn’t. Kruschev’s witty one-liners can shock and amuse; however, the descents into shtick and slapstick lose the comic momentum. And if you’re looking for psychologically complex, rounded characters, you’re in the wrong place. Iannucci consciously and consistently distances us from the action, rather than trying to suspend our disbe-lief. As our own political situation all too richly illustrates, the line between farce and terrifying realism can be dangerously thin. The Death of Stalin will not be everybody’s cuppa vodka: it will likely not enjoy much box office success, despite a solid cast and a pleasingly original script. It’s rated “R” for frequent profanity and some intermittent violence: as you may have gleaned, it’s not for kids. Adults may need to search for it a bit, as it will not likely be filling up the local multiplex, or wait for it to come out on dvd or Netflix. I can’t call it uplifting, but it’s worth a look.
