Pizazz club charged with more violations Bv Elicia Hill Kansan staff writer Pizzazz was charged in September with four alcohol violations: allowing non-members into the club, failure to display a liquor license, failure to provide sufficient financial records for an ABC auditor and advertising that the club was open to the general public. They have appealed the September charges, and a hearing has been set for Nov. 20. The owners of a Lawrence night-club were charged yesterday with four alcohol violations by the state Alcohol Beverage Control division in addition to violations they were cited for in September. The club has been blamed by neighbors for a series of incidents around the Ninth Street area, including fighting, breaking glass, shouting after closing hours and vomiting on neighbors' lawns. Don and Jon Schmidt, the owners of Pizzaz, 901 Mississippi St., were notified by ABC yesterday afternoon, said Tom Hanna, director of ABC charges were four counts of abuse, a conviction by underaged individuals. The owners said that their club was being accused falsely and that they were being singled out for alcohol violations. "Apparently the four were all employees under the age of 21." Hanna said. "These charges are not great enough to revoke their license, but each time the club is charged in violations the penalties get worse." Hanna said that two weeks ago ABC agents visited the club and discovered the violations. The Schmidt's attorney, Mike Ripley, said that he had not had a chance to review the new charges but that Mr. Schmidt was an employee employees were consuming alcohol. "Anyone over 18 is not a minor," he said. "There is a group of people who can vote but cannot consume alcohol." Hanna denied the Schmidts' charges. He said there were several other clubs in Lawrence that recently had been visited by ABC agents. Hanna declined to say whether the other clubs also would be charged with similar violations. But they are not minors."
