Kwik Shops’ liquor licenses denied By Todd Neeley Staff Reporter _ The Lincoln City Council turned down an application for an off-sale liquor license at six out of seven Lincoln Kwik Shops during Monday’s coun cil meeting. Jo Gutgsell, a council member, said the decision was made on the basis of how well certain areas of Lincoln were served by off-sale liq uor stores. The need was determined by the amount of off-sale liquor stores within a seven block radius of each Kwik Shop. Gutgsell said the six Kwik Shop stores don’t need liquor licenses be cause there are enough liquor stores in surrounding areas to meet demand. Donald Dunn, an attorney repre senting Kwik Shop Inc., said the Kwik Shop has “demonstrated it is quali fied for a license.” Dunn said Lincoln has the lowest amount of off-sale liquor stores per capita of anywhere in Nebraska. He said the “problems” related to alcohol occur mostly in places such as bars. John Gast, the division manager of the Kwik Shop stores in Nebraska, said there are several Kwik Shops throughout the slate that have liquor licenses. He said employees arc trained to handle situations involving alcohol and the store has had success selling liquor. Gutgscll said the Kwik Shop at 4400 Comhuskcr H igh way has about four liquor stores in its area. At its next meeting, the council will discuss whether that store should receive a license. police Beginning midnight Sunday, March 18. 12:50 a.m. — Person taken to detox for drunkenness and creat ing a disturbance, 18th and R streets. 1:41 a.m. -- Reckless driving citation, 33rd and W streets. 4:01 a.m. — Fire in trash chute, Lincoln Fire Department cal led, basement, Gather Residence Hall. 3:05 p.m. - Billfold and jew elry reported stolen, Burr Resi ! dence Hall, East Campus, $208. 6:09 p.m. — Car stereo cassette ’ player reported stolen, Area 20 parking lot, 22nd and U streets, S210. 8 p.m. - Leather jacket reported stolen.

Forest Continued from Page 1 spends on logging roads and re ceives from timber sales has a “multiplier effect” on the econo mics of small towns. Last year, S339 million from timber sales went directly to local govern ments for roads and schools, he said. But too much logging and con troversial harvesting techniques have drawn criticism. Rictveld said clcarcutting, a technique in which every tree is indiscriminately cut down, is the only technique that can be used to harvest Douglas fir. Because young Douglas fir seed lings must have unobstructed sun light to grow, replanting in cleared areas is the only option, he said. The Forest Service also recog nizes that slashburning, burning discarded branches and growth to clear an area for replanting, is dangerous to the ozone layer, he said. The service is searching for alternatives, Rictveld said. “The Forest Service is anxious to do the right thing,” he said. “ . . . We’re responding to create a kinder, gentler Forest Service through New Perspectives.” SENHQR SEND-OFF LAST BASH BARBECUE 6:00 P.M.-8:00 P.M.
