Columnist: Bars should sue underage drinkers
| WINONA, Minn., Jan. 10, 2001 -- Bar owners are too easy to target for underage drinking problems, Daily News columnist Jim Galewski wrote: "It's time we look harder at the people who are really breaking the law: college students and our children." Galewski said bar owners are victims when under-21 people lie twice to get in. First, he said, the young people lie about their age. Then they back up the lie with a counterfeit ID. Scorning bar owners is misdirecting the blame, Galewski said. He pointed bar-owners' attention to an Iowa bar-owner who sued the under-age boozer who lied to get. The bar-owner had been ticketed for serving the young person, but then won its civil action against the kid.Background: Speer: Nothing spared in ID checking

Fire blamed on repairman's blow-torchMY CATS!
MY CATS!When Kristin Garrett came home and saw the Beno's fire next door to her apartment above Bitter Sweet & Co., a candy store at Third and Center, her first thought was of her two cats. She raced up and rescued the cats. Actually, damage was minimal on the Bitter Sweet side of a firewall. |
| WINONA, Minn., Jan. 9, 2001 -- The fire that destroyed two historic downtown buildings and several student apartments began when a worker dropped a blow torch while repairing an attic heating line. Mark Lorisch, a Winona State University tenant in one of the buildings, said he had been assured that the insurance carrier for the contractor, Bob's Home Heat8ing & Cooling, would cover losses. Lorisch was among several upstairs renters who lost everything. Jim Multhauf, assistant fire chief, categorized the fire as accidental. The fire began about 9:30 a.m. and destroyed the building housing Betty Jo Byoloski's restaurant, built in 1904, and the building housing Beno's Deli, built in 1888. Both structures were on the National Register of Historic Places. Background: J-student pursues fire story -- at his own place |
Black readings to mark WSU King birthdayWINONA, Minn., Jan. 9, 2001 -- Readings from great works by black Americans will mark the Winona State University celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. Besides readings from poems, speeches, articles and sermons, the video "I Have a Dream" is scheduled hourly. Vivian Blount, a junior in art, is presenting an exhibit entitled "African American Spiritual Expression." Blount says her story typifies the struggle of many black Americans. With a high-school equivalency certificate, she enrolled at Winona State in 1998 and embarked with her four children on a period of change and great challenge. Her faith and family helped adress obstalces including dyslexia. She eventually discovered a passion for artistic expression through paintings and ceramics. Said Blount: "Because of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s determination, I too have a dream."

House Republicans: No to gay partner benniesST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 8, 2001 -- The Republican majority caucus in the Minnesota House plans to ask Gov. Jesse Ventura not to extend state health employee benefits to sex-same partners. Jesse Ventura has endorsed extending the benefit, and Attorney General Mike Hatch says it could be done under existing law. Majority leader Tim Pawlenty, R-Eagan, said Republican legislators are of a different mind and will propose a House resolution to discourage the governor from negotiating the extension of domestic partner benefits into employee contracts.

J-student pursues fire story -- at his own placeWINONA, Minn., Jan. 8, 2001 -- A Winona State University student, Mark Lorisch, was leaving his first journalism class of the new semester with an assignment to find a spot news story to report. He saw smoke. Testing whether he had a nose for news, he headed off for the story -- to the Betty Jo Byoloski restaurant at 66 Center St. It was more than Lorisch bargained for. He and girlfriend Liza Walczak, a Winona State masscom alum, lived upstairs. "Everything's gone," Lorisch said. Two of four second-floor apartments were destroyed, and Betty Jo's and also Beno's Deli next dor will be closed for a while. Nobody was hurt.

East Broadway has crop of beer cansWINONA, Minn., Jan. 8, 2001 -- As the weather thaws the snow, empty beer cans are sprouting around the converted apartment house on Broadway whose landlord got in trouble for partying tenants. Bud Light appears to have been the beer of choice. Last week landlord Wayne Krage lost his license to rent out one of his units because of four police calls from June to December. Neighbors said that noisy partying was hardly limited to the nights the police issued tickets. Krage, who lives out of town, said he did what he could. He asked the cops for drive-by checks. Also, he evicted three tenants.Background: City reviewing anti-party law details

| City reviewing anti-party law detailsWINONA, Minn., Jan. 6, 2001 -- The new anti-noise ordinance aimed at landlords may need to be thought through again, City Council member Gerry Krage said. Krage said a potential flaw showed itself in the first rental license suspension case. The partying tenants, he noted, had already been evicted by the time that the Council suspended the landlord Wayne Krage's license. If the unit had been re-rented in the meantime, the new and innocent tenants could have been forced out when the landlord lost his license for partying by the previous tenants, Krage said. City Attorney Richard Blahnik said he would look into the penalty provisions. Background: City to landlord: Not until February |

Winona record shops: Napster who?WINONA, Minn., Jan. 6, 2001 -- The two major record stores in Winona have weathered the Napster craze very well, thank you, the Daily News reported. At On Cue, manager Chad Woyczik said there was some impact last year, not this. Woyczik said most people go to the web only if they don't find what they want in the store. Dave Williams, manager at Face the Music, said holidays sales were brisk. Nationally the SoundScan service reported album sales grew 13.6 percent in 2000 -- despite Napster.
COMMENT: UNDER-AGE BOOZING
"THE JUDGE, HE DON'T CARE"
The judge doesn't care about your spring break. If you're caught for under-age boozing, you better show up on your court date -- even it falls during the trip you've laid out $700 for.
That's a reason enough to respect the law until age 21.
Need another reason? Remember the five Saint Mary's University young people who drove off Huff Street and crashed through the Mississippi ice. Divers found their truck a week later. The bodies too. |
Congress boosts work-study funds one-thirdWASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 2001 -- The federal government will pour 31.2 percent more money into college work-study programs.

Colleges must match one-third of the federal dollars.
Speer: Nothing spared in ID checking
|  | WINONA, Minn., Jan. 6, 2001 -- Although out of town the night that cops made 48 arrests in a raid on Chuckers, the bar's owner, Steve Speer, said he is confident his staff was doing everything reasonable to stop underage people a the door. Speer said he had conducted staff meetings every four to six weeks to brief bouncers on spotting fake IDs. Speer said he took no shortcuts in trying to screen underage drinkers. The cost of four checkers, two each at the bar's two doors, ran about $200 a night, he said.Background: Questions? Page Steve

She compiled a 21-2 record with a stress fracture on a vertebrae the entire season. Smith's 0.67 earned-run average was the best in Cardinal history, Kohner noted. In the end, though, Kohner chose Smith's coach, John Tschida, for the annual sportsperson title.Background: Newspaper puts Tschida at top spot
COMMENT: STUDENT ELECTIONS
"MAY I HAVE YOUR VOTE?"
A couple years back a prominent Winona State University student senator refused to let her phone number out. Why? "I don't want anybody interrupting my homework. I'm a student first, a senator second."
How noble for a student to make academics a priority. How lame for a student leader to sequester herself from constituents.
Student politicians soon will seeking your vote. Look for those who can handle both school and office. Ask if their phone number will be available from the Senate receptionist. Ask if they will be available to you day and night. We need representatives who take their responsibilities to us seriously.
Don't forget to ask their GPA too. |
