8-The Canadian Champion, Saturday, December 28, 2002 vBar owners finding legal ways to allow smoking By RICHARD VIVIAN Fhe ('Pampionr Smoking outside may flot be as cold at some Milton restaurants thanks to a loophole in the smoking bylaw to allow partially-enclosed patios. The Milîside Restaurant was the first to par- tially enclose ils patio with plastic, somnething the owners did shortly after summfer weather came 10 pass. "This was an attempt to extend our patio life through rainy tIsys, cold days, but flot the winter. Then we figured we'd enclose il for the winter and put in heating," said co-owner Stan Mishaud. "If's an alternative for our clientele that wants i. p kL bt . ,n PyLti age ci 9 Now, tellow downtown businesses The Dickens and lvy Arms arc following suit and there's nothing in the hylaw to stop il from hap- pening. According to the smoking bylaw, an area is considered to he fully enclosed if there are full walls and ceiling and there are one or more openings fitted with self-closing doors that are kept shut. By Ieaving one doorway or wall uncovered the hylaw isn't technically bcing broken, said Troy McHarg, Town clerk, whose deparirnent includes hylaw enforcement. That's exactly what Ivy Arrns manager Bobby *see related story on page 14 Hannigan said ber business iv trying to capitalize on. A partially-enclosed awning iv currently being constructed over the har's patio. "There's nothing else we can do. The Town bas made us spend $10,000, $12,000 do he able to keep our clientele," she said, adding business bas heen signilicantly down since the cooler weather closed the patio. The Dickens bas taken a slightly different approach to its patio than the others. lnstead of enclosing the entire patio, an area was huilt heside the restauirant where srokers cm n I'd 1lor aiquîck butt. The heated enclosure went up a couple weeks ago as a courtesy to smoking patrons who have stood hy the business, said owner Roger Mason. I wouldn't say its really helping (attract busi- ness). lt' s a show on rny behaif that 1 appreciate thse people who have stayed here and don't real- ly want to go anywhere else," he said, adding the enclosure wouldn't have been necessary if the smoking hylaw was being enforced at aIl bars and restaurants. "There are still rnany places in Milton where thcy (smokers) can still walk inside and puf away." BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE Jeremiah 29:11 states: "'I know the plans 1 have for YOD,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper YOD and flot to harm you, plans to give YOD hope and a future."' God bas a wonderful plan for each of our lives. Often, we forget that wben God looks at our lives, He sees flot only our past, but our potential for the future as welI. He knows what He could accomplish through our gifts and talents if we were completely surrendered to His plan. God watches the people who are observing our lives, judg- ing thse merits of Christianity by the consistency of our lifestyle. He sees the individuals we will encouniter and have an opportunity to share our faith with -- if we are spir- itually on track at thse time. He knows which persons could be thse great doctors, lawyers, legisiators, preachers, or teachers. He is aware of what could happen through us if w e were available for His purposes. ]j Milton Bible Meeting @ if î Milton District High School 10:00 AM Bible Discovery Trail 11:00 AM Worship Service A New Church for a New Generation www.miltonbiblechurch.cai (905) 876-3586 Worahip Yosth Mm .

URCICE .LOE As parents, 1 encourage you to be ail that you can be! Your children possess incredible potential. Your love holds the iberating key of releasing them to achieve great things. How you raise them matters. More often than not, the acomn often does not travel far from the oak. Determine today to make a difference in your children's lives. Consider the nostalgic reflections of Diane Loomans: If I had my child to raise ail over again, Id build self-esteem first, and the house later. Id finger-paint more andfinger-point less. Id would do less correcting and more connecting. J, d eye my watch less and watch more with my eyes. I would care to know less and know to care more. Id take more hikes andfly more kites. lid stop playing serjous and seriously play. I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars. 4 MILTON JSEENTH-DAY Àofl"pmmk CHURCH Hugh Feter Hall, 43 BmOW, St. Miton St.t 930 . . t-,Sbbth Schoo FilaE BIBLE 5CHOOL aitescetuahappyhi, For, FRfiEI'BLE 'f f-SONS. orite: P.
