I think writing for the Winonan is a great job, and it lets me see a lot of movies that I wouldn't otherwise go see. However, some weeks I'm forced to choose between a rotten banana and a rotten apple. This was one of those weeks. Friday night spent contemplating between a Samuel L.

Volunteers help with animal care during one of two shifts. Morning shift runs from 7 to 9 a.m.; evening shifts from 4 to 7 p.m. Herndon says there are always lots of students from Winona State, St. Mary's Universi Cotter High School and other local schools who volunteer. Faculty and staff from these schools volunteer as well. "The volunteers from Winona State are a wonderful group; the students work so hard," Olson says. After filling out an application from the Humane Society, volunteers attend a dog and cat care training session. Training covers information such as where cleaning supplies are kept and what tasks a volunteer can expect while volunteering. The Winona Humane Society offers training sessions twice a month, usually on Saturdays. The next training sessions are scheduled from 2 to 3 p.m. on Oct. 12 and 26. There are other volunteer opportunities with the humane society that don't involve working with the animals; Volunteers work the office at the Humane Society, answering phone calls, greeting people who come in to see the animals and explaining the adoption process. Students help with fundraisers by stuffing envelopes requesting donations or setting up for the annual wine-tasting and bake sale.
