Working in conjunction with the police as part of a covert operation, the 18-year-old informant was allowed to enter four out of seven establishments and purchase alco­ hol. All four found in violation were also charged in a similar operation in 1990 as well as other separate incidents in recent years. Violators will be charged with the sale of alcohol to a minor and allowing an underage patron into their place of business. At a date to be set Monday, they will enter a plea during an arraingment hearing before Charleston Mayor and Liquor Commissioner Wayne Lanman. Each will face a minimum fine of $250 or a three-day suspension of their licenses, but the penalties may be stiffer with fines up to MIKE ANSCHUETZ/Seniorphotographer $1,000 and a possible 30-day sus­ Mac Magic pension or revocation of the liquor (from left) Ronald McDonald and Christine Kook entertain Jenny and Todd Hurst by pelforming magic during halftime at the Eastern versus license.
