2C Daily Times. St. Cloud, Minn. Nov. 16, 1987 Changing courts inira po)ins Stearns County Amdahl said he has not decided if he will serve until he is 70.

Three associate justices are 63, Lawrence Yetka, Rosalie Wahl and John Simonett. Associate Justice Glenn Kelleyis66. Amdahl said all the justices appear to be in relatively good health and he knows of no plans for early retirement. "Everything seems to be going pretty well," he said. "The standard colds are running around but that's about all." He noted that a few years ago three justices were troubled by respiratory ailments, which were blamed on the air circulation in the Capitol, but the exact cause was never established.

Popovich succeeds Associate Justice George M. Scott, 65, who took early retirement because of heart problems. He underwent quintuple bypass surgery in 1984. Popovich has been chief judge of the Minnesota Court of Appeals since its inception in 1983. Coyne, who was appointed in September 1982, is the newest member of the court.

The reason there hasn't been an appointment to the Supreme Court in more than five years is that the court was reduced from nine to seven members in 1982, when voters approved a constitutional amendment creating the Appeals Wozniak to rule appeals court with softer touch ST. PAUL (AP) D.D. Wozniak hardly pleased everyone he passed on his way to the head of the Minnesota Court of Appeals. But those who know him say Wozniak, who was to be sworn in as chief state appeals judge today, has accomplished something more important. With his low-key style, the one-time lawyer, legislator and DFL party maverick has managed to avoid making many enemies.

Court observers say it's a skill hell need as he tries accommodating the often-conflicting wishes of 12 fellow judges, law clerks and other staff members as well as the thousands of litigants and lawyers who come before the court each year. Wozniak is sure to lead the panel with a different style, friends and colleagues predict, than his predecessor, Judge Peter Popovich. "I think Wozniak will be just as tough, but with a velvet glove," said Supreme Court Associate Justice Lawrence Yetka, who went to law school with Wozniak and served with him in the state House of Representatives. Compared to the iron-handed Popovich, "Wozniak will have a lot more input from his fellow judges. It will be more of a collegial type of court," said Chief Justice Douglas Amdahl of the Minnesota Supreme Court.

Wozniak describes himself in a like manner. "I suspect I will have a tendency to delegate more than Pete does," Wozniak said. "Pete likes to have his hand in administrative details." Whatever his method, his family and friends say Wozniak is a man who gets his way with people. They say he has persuasion powers that get people to take on tasks they would never think of and, moreover, even enjoy them. "Don gets people to do things for him that they would never dream of doing," said James M.

Campbell, a St. Paul lawyer who once practiced with Wozniak. "He is a consummate politician. The reverse is true, too. I've never seen a person who has a softer touch." The skill was sharpened by the 16 years Wozniak spent in the Legislature.

Gov. Rudy Perpich appointed him to the appeals panel in 1983 along with Popovich, who was recently named to the state Supreme Court. St. Joseph: Banquet displays imbalance ST. JOSEPH A Hunger Banquet highlighting the imbalance of world food distribution will be held at the College of St.

Benedict at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in Mary Commons. Fifty participants, including faculty members, staff members and students, will draw tickets to discover the type of meal they will be served.

today to a seat on the Minnesota Supreme Court, which is facing a complete turnover in the next decade. That's because there is a mandatory retirement age of 70 forjudges and all the court members are in their 60s. The youngest, Associate Justice M. Jeanne Coyne, will turn 61 in three weeks. Popovich, who turns 67 later this month, will be the second oldest judge on the high court and will have to retire in three years.

The average age of the new seven-member court is nearly 65. "I didn't know we were averaging that young," quipped Chief Justice Douglas K. Amdahl, the oldest member of the court. Amdahl, who has been on the high court since December 1981, will be 69 in January, which means he must step down in a little more than one year. Jackson uses visit to woo state Democrats RICHFIELD (AP) The Rev.

Jesse Jackson, making his first visit to Minnesota as a 1988 Democratic presidential candidate, called for a health care system that serves all people, not just those with the ability to pay. "If we must fight, fight at a hospital admitting office where people are dying because they don't have a green or yellow (insurance) card. The means test for health care must be sickness, not wealth," Jackson told an estimated 1,600 people at Central High School in St. Paul on Sunday. Jackson also called for an "ernnnmir bill of rights that will secure the jobs of American workers, that will stop 'sca-bism' from inside the country from taking our jobs and slave labor from outside the country from takine our jobs." Jackson arrived in Minnesota Saturday to speak at the Hubert H.

Humphrey Day dinner at the St. Paul Civic Center. Earlier Sunday, the black nreachar was greeted with a standing ovation irom ine largely wmte congregation at House of Prayer Lutheran Church in Richfield. There wasn't enough room in the pews for all the 2,300 who attended the service, so many viewed it on closed-circuit television in adjacent church halls. The churchgoers then crowded shoulder-to-shoulder into the vestibule to catch a glimpse of or shake hands with Jackson as he left for a rally and speech at a farm near Castle Rock.

That event drew nearly 1,000 people. Jackson's sermon on the theme of 'love thy neighbor" took on the tone of a foreign policy statement as he urged the Richfield congregation to include all people in their definition of neighbor. From page 1C Chicks He met his wife in Ohio, where he sexed for 17 years. He taught her the ropes, er bumps, too. "It took a while, but she's pretty doggone good now," he said.

The couple employs six full-time and two part-time sexers besides themselves. Each sexer can do between 1 ,000 and 1 ,300 birds an hour and one million and 1.5 million birds a year. The company makes $2.30 for every 100 birds. Not bad, Sam said, but in the good old days, he made $3 a 100. "In those days, I was by myself.

I had three cars, a Sunday car, a business car Sunday car," he said. But then somebody came up with a different kind of sexing. That was done by wing instead of rump. Goto says wing sexing isn't quite as hard to do, and, as a result, doesn't require as much training. But it only works on certain chickens and those chickens don't produce very good eggs.

So Goto sees a bright future for rump sexing, or vent sexing, the industry's words for it. The couple sexes chickens and turkeys, mostly. But Sam also does pheasants, ducks, geese, swans and even ostriches. And that's tricky. Every bird's rump is a little different, Goto said.

"I work 30 years. I should know better." work, according to estimates. Also, Minnesota is the home to three of the nation's largest wildlife print publishers, who combine for $25 million in business annually, and two nationally circulated wildlife art magazines. "This is an industry that's really come to the forefront, probably in the last five years, here in Minnesota," said Jim Knuckey, executive vice president of Voyageur Art, a wildlife publisher in St. Anthony, As Minnesota's businesses grow from St.

In July, she sent invitation to Moscow to a director of the Soviet Peace Committee. Typical of her shoestring-budget approach, she borrowed a telex belonging to the state carry on her correspondence with the Russians.

The acceptance was almost immediate. She said the contact person, Vyat-cheslav Slouzhivov, did not act the least surprised. 'They like the concept of our college providing education for the community," Casserly said. Slouzhivov will be accompanied by a retired Russian Army officer, the vice president of the Ukrainian Peace Committee and a Russian radio journalist. "I invited four young, articulate English-speaking Soviets, and I got four middle-aged men," Casserly said with a laugh.

Bosses have told employees and reminded themselves not to bother the cast members when they pop into Duluth restaurants and businesses. Since early September, the town has been the temporary home of actress Jessica Lange, playwright and actor Sam Shepard and others in the cast and crew of "Far North." Castle Rock, and a St.

Paul credit system. "If we can bail out Chrysler, Continental Bank, Europe and Japan, we can bail out the family farmer," he said. At Castle Rock and the St. Paul high school, campaign workers sought to sign people up to attend Minnesota's Feb. 23 precinct caucuses as Jackson supporters.

"All the statistics we have at this point indicate it's the best year ever," said Hank Todd, state director of tourism. Hewes credited an aggressive promotion campaign operated by the Minnesota Office of Tourism with leading the tourism boom. An estimated 60 percent of this summer's Minnesota visitors came from outside the state, an increase over recent years.

The campaign, which aims much of its effort at audiences in Chicago; Des Moines, Iowa; Omaha, Kansas City, Mo. and St. Louis, grew from $1.2 million in 1983 to $5.2 million this fiscal year. Large resorts are attracting many of the new customers. Madden's on Gull Lake which has 270 rooms, 45 holes of golf, tennis and marinas reported a 15 percent increase in business from 1986.

WHITE BEAR LAKE (AP) With a budget of less than $1,000, a Lakewood Community College student has organized a weeklong peace conference on campus and even arranged for the in-person participation of four Soviets. "Peace, The Preferred Answer" was to begin today at the White Bear Lake campus with the aim of fostering better understanding of U.S.-Soviet relations. Mary Casserly, 22, a marketing major who pieced the conference together, says she was only being realistic when she decided to contact the Soviets.

The student board that appointed her conference organizer, after all, said the Soviet viewpoint ought to be represented. "How can we realistically look at U.S.-Soviet relationships unless there is a Soviet present?" she said. Duluth tries to stay DULUTH (AP) Surprised by the extraordinary ordinariness of the stars in town, Duluth is remaining calm in its role as host to Hollywood during the filming of the movie "Far North."
