Party-house landlord may be in big troubleWINONA, Minn., April 16, 2002 -- Two parties that drew the cops to 67 W. Broadway on Saturday night could have severe consequences for the landlord and the six tenants, said a city building inspector. According to Steve Carson, who he keeps records on noise complaints, the weekend marked the third infraction within a year at the address. In the past the City Council has used a three-strikes-and-you're-out ordinance to suspend rental liceenses for 60 days. Revocation also is a possibility, he said. Too, the landlord could be hit with a $1,000 fine. "Should the landlords license be revoked or suspended, the innocent parties will have to find another place to live," Carson said. "Not all the tenants caused trouble." Carson said he would send a complete report of the three noise infractions to the city attorney, who would decided whether to refer the landlord to the Council. It might be a month before an official ruling is given, he said.

Sugar Ray setup expected to go well

| WINONA, Minn., April 16, 2002 -- The amount of equipment and time to set it up for the Sugar Ray concert at Winona State University is less than typical for a touring rock show, said student activities Director Joe Reed. The group is expected to bring only three or four trucks of equipment, he said. Some groups travel with 10 to 12 trucks for lighting, sound and electrical equipment. Reed expects that setting up equipment, along with the construction of the stage, should go smoothly. The process will cost about $5,000, about $3,000 less than for most touring groups, because Sugar Ray is bringing much of its own equipment, Reed said. He has employed professionals from the La Crosse Center, and Clearwing Production Co., out of Milwaukee, to set up for the concert. Students from Reed's University Programming Activities Committee will help too.
