RE: Impending Liquor license upgrade request C I T I CLERK
K
The Caniglia family,owners of Park Avenue Grocery/MCMC Inc. We will be requesting and Expanded` °t *
Liquor License. This request will be coming before the council for consideration in the near future.
We would like you to know that we have owned and operated Park Avenue Grocery/gameroom/thrift
store for the past 7 years. The Family members involved in the day to day operation are Michael and Mary
Ann(owners and husband and wife,Daniel and Michael(sons) Michael's mother Minnie Caniglia and
Mary's father and mother George and Jean Strnad.
In the last 7 years in reviewing our records the Council and all concerned parties will find there has never
been a 911 call to the Game Room and the Omaha Police over the past 7 years have when stopping by
complimented our efforts and success of creating a place of gathering for residents of the neighborhood
without concern to the Neighborhood Associations,OPD,or Neighbors.
We are asking the Council to consider allowing Park Avenue Grocery the option of selling Package Liquor
in the Grocery Store and Beer and liquor by the drink in the Game Room. The Game Room is completely
separate while on the same premise as the Grocery Store.
Current store hours are Monday—Thursday 9:AM to 9:PM Friday and Saturday 9AM— 10 PM
And Sunday 11 AM- 8 PM. These hours would change very little if we were approved for the new license.
The new hours for the Tavern would be 12 noon— 10 PM Monday through Thursday Noon—11 PM
.Fxid y Jand Saturday Noon to 8:00 PM on Sunday,
In reviewing Park Avenue Grocery's 7 year history,you will find no citations of selling alcohol to a minor,
acknowledgement letters from the Douglas county Sheriff dept for not selling cigarettes or alcohol to
minors and one ticket for selling cigarettes to a minor which records will show happened during a family
function where a family friend was filling in. Since that date our policy changed to all aspects of our
business closes if no family member is on premise.
We are sending this introduction to all Council Members as well as the Southeast precinct Captain for our
area as well as the Leavenworth Neighborhood Association,
We do not dispute that Park Avenue deals with diverse residents and concerns. The concerns that are
public knowledge have never been based with our presence on Park Avenue but more so with the Land
Lords Supervision or in some cases lack of supervision of their rental properties. The Biggest change is the
sale of Novak&Sons properties to Park Avenue Properties LLC. In recent months many of the units are
now vacant with no clear intent on what the future holds,but Park Avenue Grocery and family are
committed to staying and continuing to bring a positive influence.

Should the Council grant our request it would allow us to sell package liquor in the grocery store noting
that it would be quite some time before the Game room could be converted as equipment would have to be
purchased and renovations would have to be completed.
It's difficult for small business to survive especially in challenged areas of the city. We hope the Council
can appreciate we are struggling to maintain and grow in a controlled way.
Thank you for your time to review this request,If you have any questions that we can answer or resolve
prior to this consideration coming before you please feel free to call or stop by.

Dear Mr. Vokel; STAFF
CITY CLERK J/
LOBBYIST
On behalf of the Ford Birthsite Neighborhood Association, the board of directors would
like to express our deepest concern over the news that Park Avenue Grocery at 830 Park SEP 2 7 '04
Avenue, Omaha,NE, is seeking to expand their current liquor license to include the sale
of hard liquor.
TIME 31A-
We do not need to tell you how hard we have worked to improve this part of the city and
how many hours of diligent and sacrificial labor have gone into making our
neighborhood safer and healthier. Yet in spite of the momentum to better our
community, there are still businesses and individuals that would place their own benefit o 0
above the common good.
Park Avenue Grocery is making the wrong decision and moving in the wrong direction.
While we recognize their right to pursue the economic benefits of expanded services,
their vision is shortsighted and selfish. The long-term impact of adding one more outlet
for alcohol within blocks of drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers and group homes is
unconscionable. Just look at some of the facts listed on the National Center for Chronic
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion General Alcohol Information fact sheet. We
have included the full report with references for your information.
• In 2001, there were approximately 1.4 million arrests for driving under the
influence of alcohol or narcotics. This is an arrest rate of 1 of every 137 licensed
drivers in the
United States. (NHTSA, 2003).
• In 2000,there were approximately 85,000 deaths attributable to either excessive
or risky drinking in the U.S.,making alcohol the third leading actual cause of
death(Mokdad, 2004).
• In 2002, 17,419 people in the United States died in alcohol-related motor vehicle
crashes, accounting for 41% of all traffic-related deaths (NHTSA, 2003).
• From 1997 through 2002,2,355 children died in alcohol-related motor vehicle
crashes; 1,588 (68%) of these children were riding with a drinking driver(CDC,
MMWR, 2004).
• In 1997, about 40%of all crimes (violent and non-violent) were committed under
the influence of alcohol (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1998).
• In 1997, 40%of convicted rape and sexual assault offenders said that they were
drinking at the time of their crime (Greenfield, 2000).
• Approximately 72%of rapes reported on college campuses occur when victims
are so intoxicated they are unable to consent or refuse (Wecshler, 2004).
• Two-thirds of victims of intimate partner violence reported that alcohol was
involved in the incident(Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1998).
• Nearly one-half of the cases of child abuse and neglect are associated with
parental alcohol or drug abuse (Grant, 2000).
The desire to profit from the sale of alcohol in the midst of groups, organizations, and
residents committed to helping people recover from substance abuse is impossible to
justify. We would hope that Park Avenue Grocery would reconsider its request and
commit to being part of the solution, exploring together ways to improve revenues and
market share that do not capitalize upon and exploit the challenges of our community.
At the very least,we would implore the City Council to review and consider some of the
recommendations suggested in the fact sheet as well as mandatory training for sellers and
servers of alcohol, specific taxes on alcohol with revenues benefiting recovery programs,
and stricter limits on the quantity of vendors and their proximity to related group homes
and recovery centers.
If we can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact us through our political
liaison Jan Quinley. We would appreciate you keeping us informed as to the process and
progress of this request.
Thank you for all you and your colleagues are doing to make our city a safe and healthy
community.
Sincerely,
John Cleveland

years and older) reported drinking at
least one drink in the past month. The
prevalence of past-month alcohol consumption was higher
for men (62.4%) than for women (47.9%) (SAMSHA,
NSDUH, 2002).
nine. frinitinn
• Binge drinking is generally defined as having 5 or more
drinks on one occasion, meaning in a row or within a short
period of time (Naimi, 2003). However, among women,
binge drinking is often defined as having 4 or more drinks on
one occasion (NIAAA, 2004) (Wechsler, 1998). This lower
cut-point is used for women because women are generally of
smaller stature than men, and absorb and metabolize alcohol
differently than men.
• About 1 in 3 adult drinkers in the United States report past-
month binge drinking, and this ratio has changed very little
since the mid-1980s (Serdula, 2004).
• In 2001, there were approximately 1.5 billion episodes of
binge drinking in the U.S. Binge drinking rates were highest
among those aged 18 to 25 years; however, 70% of binge
drinking episodes occurred among those aged 26 years and
older (Naimi, 2003).
• Binge drinkers were 14 times more likely to report alcohol-
impaired driving than non-binge drinkers (Naimi, 2003).
• Binge drinking is associated with a number of adverse health
effects, including unintentional injuries (e.g., motor vehicle
http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/factsheets/general_information.htm 9/24/04
Alcohol - ractsheet - General Alcohol tntormation rage 2 oI• 1l
crashes, falls, burns, drownings, and hypothermia); violence
(homicide, suicide, child abuse, domestic violence); sudden
infant death syndrome; alcohol poisoning; hypertension;
myocardial infarction; gastritis; pancreatitis; sexually
transmitted diseases; meningitis; and poor control of
diabetes (Naimi, 2003).
Heavy Drinking
• Heavy drinking is consuming alcohol in excess of 1 drink per
day on average for women and greater than 2 drinks per day
on average for men (NIAAA, 2004).
• In 2002, 5.9% of U.S. adults reported heavy drinking in the
past 30 days; the prevalence of heavy drinking was greater
for men (7.1%) than for women (4.5%) (CDC, BRFSS,
2002).
• Heavy drinking is associated with a number of chronic health
conditions, including chronic liver disease and cirrhosis,
gastrointestinal cancers, heart disease, stroke, pancreatitis,
depression, and a variety of social problems (Naimi, 2003).
Alcohol Dependence
A person is defined as being dependent on alcohol if he or she
reports three or more of the following symptoms in the past year
(DSM-IV, 1994).
• Tolerance (e.g., needing more alcohol to become
intoxicated).
• Withdrawal
• Alcohol use for longer periods than intended.
• Desire and/or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control
alcohol use.
• Considerable time spent obtaining or using alcohol, or
recovering from its effects.
• Important social, work, or recreational activities given up
because of use.
• Continued use of alcohol despite knowledge of problems
caused by or aggravated by use.
In 2002, 3.7% of past-year drinkers were alcohol-dependent
(SAMSHA, NSDUH, 2002).
Underage Drinking
• As of 1988, all states prohibit the purchase of alcohol by
youth under the age of 21 years. Consequently, underage
drinking is defined as consuming alcohol prior to the
minimum legal drinking age of 21 years.
• In 2003, 44.9% of 9th through 12th graders reported
drinking alcohol on one or more of the past 30 days;
prevalence of current drinking was higher for females
(45.8%) than among males (43.8%) (CDC, YRBS, 2003).
http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/factsheets/general_information.htm 9/24/04
Alconol -1'actsneet - General Alconol intormation rage 3 of 12
• In 2003, 28.3% of 9th through 12th graders reported binge
drinking (having five or more drinks of alcohol in a row or
within a couple of hours) at least once during the past 30
days. The prevalence of binge drinking was higher for males
(29%) than among females (27.5%) (CDC, YRBS, 2003).
• Alcohol use is a leading risk factor in the three leading
causes of death among youth: unintentional injuries
(including motor vehicle crashes and drownings); suicides;
and homicides. Other adverse consequences of underage
drinking include risky sexual behavior and poor school
performance (CDC, YRBS, 2001).
• Zero tolerance laws, which make it illegal for youth under
age 21 years to drive with any measurable amount of alcohol
• — in their system (i.e., with a blood alcohol concentration •
(BAC) g/dL), have reduced traffic fatalities among 18
to 20 year olds by 13% and saved an estimated 21,887 lives
from 1975 through 2002 (NHTSA, 1997).
Alcohol Use and Women's Health
• For women of childbearing age, the consequences of
excessive alcohol consumption, particularly binge drinking,
includes unintentional injuries, domestic violence, risky
sexual behavior and sexually transmitted diseases,
unintended pregnancy, and alcohol-exposed pregnancies.
• In 2001, 11.8% of women aged 18 to 44 years reported
consuming alcohol within the past month, and 11% reported
binge drinking (5 or more drinks on any one occasion)
(Naimi, 2003).
• Women with unintended pregnancies were 60% more likely
to binge drink during the three months before conception
than women with intended pregnancies (Naimi, 2003).
Alcohol-Impaired Driving
• In 2002, 2.2% of U.S. adults reported alcohol-impaired
driving in the past 30 days (CDC, BRFSS, 2003).
• In 1993, there were approximately 123 million episodes of
alcohol-impaired driving in the United States. (Liu, 1997).
• In 2001, there were approximately 1.4 million arrests for
driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics. This is an
arrest rate of 1 of every 137 licensed drivers in the United
States. (NHTSA, 2003).

•
Total Deaths due to Alcohol
• In 2000, there were approximately 85,000 deaths
attributable to either excessive or risky drinking in the U.S.,
making alcohol the third leading actual cause of death
(Mokdad, 2004).
• Alcohol-related deaths in the United States vary considerably
by state, and are directly related to the amount of alcohol
consumed and the pattern of alcohol use.
Alcohol Motor Vehicle Crash Deaths
• In 2002, 17,419 people in the United States died in alcohol-
related motor vehicle crashes, accounting for 41% of all
traffic-related deaths (NHTSA, 2003).
• In 1995, 36% of all crash fatalities among youth aged 15 to
20 years were alcohol-related (Samber, 1997; NHTSA,
1997).
• From 1997 through 2002, 2,355 children died in alcohol-
related motor vehicle crashes; 1,588 (68%) of these children
were riding with a drinking driver (CDC, MMWR, 2004).
Alcohol and Unintentional Injuries
• Alcohol-related unintentional injuries and deaths include
motor vehicle crashes, drownings, falls, hypothermia, burns,
suicides, and homicides.
• Approximately 31.1% of those who die from unintentional,
non-traffic injuries in the United States have a blood alcohol
concentration of 0.10 g/dL or greater (Smith, 1999).
• Patients treated in an emergency department (ED) for an
unintentional injury are 13.5 times more likely to have
consumed 5 or more alcohol-containing beverages within 6
hours of their injury compared to age and sex matched
community controls (Vinson, 2003).
Alcohol and Violence
• In 1997, about 40% of all crimes (violent and non-violent)
were committed under the influence of alcohol (Bureau of
Justice Statistics, 1998).
• In 1997, 40% of convicted rape and sexual assault offenders
said that they were drinking at the time of their crime
(Greenfield, 2000).
• Approximately 72% of rapes reported on college campuses
occur when victims are so intoxicated they are unable to
consent or refuse (Wecshler, 2004).
• Two-thirds of victims of intimate partner violence reported
http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/factsheets/general_information.htm 9/24/04
Alcohol -Factsheet -(ieneral Alcohol lntormation Page 5 of 12
that alcohol was involved in the incident (Bureau of Justice
Statistics, 1998).
• Nearly one-half of the cases of child abuse and neglect are
associated with parental alcohol or drug abuse (Grant,
2000).
• Approximately 23% of suicide deaths are attributable to
alcohol (Smith, 1999).
Alcohol and Pregnancy
• Adverse health effects that are associated with alcohol-
exposed pregnancies include miscarriage, premature
delivery, low birth weight, sudden infant death syndrome,
-
and prenatal alcohol-related conditions (e.g., fetal alcohol
syndrome and alcohol-related neurodevelopmental
disorders).
• In 1999, 12.8% of women aged 18 to 44 years reported any
alcohol use (at least one drink) during pregnancy, and 2.7%
reported binge drinking (5 or more drinks on any one
occasion) (MMWR, 2002).
• Alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder and alcohol-
related birth defects are believed to occur approximately
three times as often as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) (CDC,
NCBDD/FAS, 2004).
• Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is one of the leading causes of
mental retardation, and is directly attributable to drinking
during pregnancy. FAS is characterized by growth
retardation, facial abnormalities, and central nervous system
dysfunction (i.e., learning disabilities and lower IQ), as well
as behavioral problems.
• The incidence of FAS in the United States ranges from 0.2 to
1.5 per 1,000 live births http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/fas
(CDC, NCBDD/FAS, 2004).
• Any maternal alcohol use in the periconceptional period (i.e.,
during the three months before pregnancy or during the first
trimester) is associated with a six-fold increased risk of SIDS
(Iyasu, 2002).
• Binge drinking (five or more drinks at a time) during a
mother's first trimester of pregnancy is associated with an
eight-fold increase in the odds that the infant will die of SIDS
(Iyasu, 2002).
Alcohol and Sexually Transmitted Disease
• Alcohol use by young adults is associated with earlier
initiation of sexual activity, unprotected sexual intercourse,
multiple partners and an increased risk for sexually
transmitted diseases.
http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/factsheets/general_information.htm 9/24/04

• Among teens aged 14 to 18, 20% of those who reported
drinking before age 14 also reported being sexually active
compared to 7% of those who did not report drinking before
this age (The National Center on Addiction and Substance
Abuse, 1999).
• In 1998, an estimated 400,000 college students between the
ages of 18 and 24 had unprotected sex after drinking, and
an estimated 100,000 had sex when they were so
intoxicated they were unable to consent (Hingson, 2002).
• Among adults aged 18 to 30, binge drinkers were twice as
likely as those who did not binge drink to have had two or
more sex partners (Leigh, 1994).
• People who abuse alcohol are more likely to engage in risky
behaviors, such as having unprotected sex, having more sex
partners, and using intravenous drugs. In a single act of
unprotected sex with an infected partner, a teenage woman
has a 1% risk of acquiring HIV, a 30 % risk of getting genital
herpes, and a 50% chance of contracting gonorrhea (Alan
Guttmacher Institute, 1994).
Hepatitis C and Chronic Liver Disease
• Alcohol consumption can exacerbate the HCV infection and
accelerate disease progression to cirrhosis. Alcohol may also
exacerbate the side effects of antiviral treatment for HCV
infection, impairing the body's response to the virus (Larrea,
1998).
• In 2003, there were 12,207 deaths from alcohol-related
chronic liver disease (CLD). Approximately 75% of those
deaths occurred among men (CDC, NCHS, 2003).
• Approximately 40% of the deaths from unspecified liver
disease in the United States are attributable to heavy alcohol
consumption (Parrish, 1993).
Alcohol and Cancer
• Alcohol-related cancers include oral-pharyngeal, esophagus
(squamous cell type), prostate, liver, and breast. In general,
the risk of cancer increases with increasing amounts of •
alcohol.
• Excessive drinkers are 3 times more likely to develop liver
cancer than non-drinkers (English & Holman, 1995).
• Excessive drinkers are 4 times more likely to develop
esophageal cancer than non-drinkers (English & Holman,
1995).
• Oral cancers are six times more common in heavy alcohol
users than in non-alcohol users (American Cancer Society,
2002).

• Compared to non-drinkers, women who consume an average
of 1 alcoholic drink per day increase their risk of breast
cancer by approximately 7%. Women who consume an
average of 2 to 5 drinks per day increase their risk of
developing breast cancer by approximately 50% compared
to that of non-drinkers (American Cancer Society, 2002).

Effective Prevention Strategies for Alcohol-
Related Health Problems
Alcohol Taxes
• A 10% increase on the tax for alcohol containing beverages
could reduce the number of binge drinking episodes per
month by 8% (Sloan, 1995).
• For every 1% increase in the price of beer, the traffic fatality
rate declines by 0.9% (Ruhm, 1996).
• A 25% increase in the 1992 federal beer tax would have
reduced work-loss days from non-fatal workplace accidents
by 4.6 million and lost productivity by $491 million
(Oshfeldt, 1997).
• Raising state beer tax from 104 per case to $1 per case
would increase the probability of graduating from college by
6.3% (Cook, 1993).
Minimum Legal Drinking Age Laws
• All states and the District of Columbia have enforced 21-
year-old minimum drinking age laws. In 2002, an estimated
917 lives saved in traffic crashes as a result of the age 21
minimum drinking age laws (NHTSA, 2002).
• Increasing the minimum drinking age from 18 to 21 has
reduced both drinking and traffic crashes among youth by 10
to 15% (O'Malley & Wagenaar, 1991).
Comprehensive Community Programs
• Comprehensive community-based programs have reduced
past month alcohol consumption among underage youth by
7% (Wagenaar, 2000).
Intervention Training Programs for Servers
• Server training programs have reduced alcohol sales by
11.5% and sales to pseudo-intoxicated buyers by 46%
(Toomey, 2001).
• Server training programs have reduced single vehicle
nighttime injury crashes by 23% (Holder, 1994).
http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/factsheets/general_information.htm 9/24/04
Aiconol -ractsneet - e.ienerai Aiconol information Page 8 of 12
• Screening and Brief Intervention
. Brief physician advice to reduce alcohol consumption has
reduced the number of binge drinking episodes in the past
30 days more than 40% (Fleming, 1997).
• The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)
recommends regular screening in primary care practices for
alcohol misuse among adults and pregnant women (AHRQ,
2003).

CITY CLERK
Mr. Jim Vokal, City Council President 0 MA HA,, N E B RA S ,A .
1819 Farnam St
Suite LC-1
Omaha NE 68183
Dear Mr. Vokal:
It has recently come to my attention that the Council will be reviewing proposed liquor
licenses for Park Avenue Grocery, 830 Park Avenue(beer and package liquor); Bucky's, 101
North 30th Street (package liquor); and the Kwik Shop at 36th and Leavenworth(package liquor)
at tomorrow's council meeting.
I am strongly opposed to issuance of liquor licenses to any of these three
businesses. These establishments are within a half mile of each other and all within areas known
for high levels of criminal activity including drugs and prostitution. I believe approval of these
licenses will encourage the consumption of alcohol and may create additional law enforcement
problems or, at a minimum, aggravate existing problems. Additionally, each is within a few
blocks of the neighborhood grade school and many school children walk to and from school
regularly. Living next to an alley, I pick up beer cans and liquor bottles from the alley and my
yard regularly.
Currently, there are at least seven locations within a half mile radius of my home, at
which liquor and beer can be purchased. In many areas near my home, I am uncomfortable
walking alone and the availability of additional locations for alcohol will only heighten this
discomfort. With regard to Park Avenue Grocery's Game Room, there is limited parking on
Park Avenue now and parking problems are likely to increase with the opening of the game
room. In my opinion, efforts to encourage people to live, work, and raise their families in the
mid-town area will only be discouraged by the approval of more liquor licenses.
Please vote no on the applications of Park Avenue Grocery, Bucky's, and Kwik Shop.
Your consideration of this request is appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Carol Haas
