IÏe worries that customers will stop coming in if they can't smoke, and 'if my cientole areu'lt coming in, my taxes sure areu't coming im. Frederick Wood, a solicitor representing Lion and the reucnake our landfill sites lasi longer. Unicoru pub, had similar con- cerus. Ho says complying with the bylaw as written would reduce seating in the aiready smal establishmnent by 20 Wo 25 per cent, «completely destroying» the ambiance, "and would be impos- sible for us Wo police.» Wood says somne 75 Wo 80 per cent of t he pub's customers smoke, and "ini a confined area, I cant see any practicai way in which we can accommodate a smoking group and a non-smok- ing group.» Tat means Lion and the Work is scheduled te, com- mence next mouth on instaliing oruameutai street lights in downtown Whitby.

Goodwill Industries recently honoured the Durham Region works department with its 1993 Cominunity Partnership Award. Durham Region needed to promote reuse and calledl Goodwill Industries, who needed Wo increase donations, W sS if they could work Wogether Wo achieve these goals. Within a short period of time, a plan was established W cq-sponsor two new dnation centres in Durhamn Region. The first ADC opened in November 1992 in Oshawa. In May the two partners opened an Attended Donation Centre (ADC> at the BrockingWon Mal in Pickering. By the end of June, the two partnership ADO sites diverted more than 75 Wonnes of material and acoepted donations from more than 6,200 visiWors.

Unicoru would have Wo bau smoking entirely, says Wood, «which would ,prebably put us eut of business. Chris Panos of Brother's Res- taurant says 75 per cent of custÀo- mers in lis 60-seat dining room smoke, as do 85 per cent of patrons in the 25-seat bar area. Ho says complying with the bylaw would mean renovations which ho could ilI afford, and which weuid reduce seatiug by 10 per cent. «That could reaily hurt our business on a Friday or Saturday night.» The owuer of the Hide-Away Bingo Hall Wold committee that, at least in his establishment, thore's ne a big demand for a non-smoking area. David Wood says ho and his wife spent a lot of time, energy and money te provide the cleanest air quality possible when thoy built their new loca- tien three years ago. That inciuded installing a spe- cial ventilation systemi which ho says costs almost $4,000 a mouth te run, and a separate, press- urzed room, complte with its Voters' list FROM PAGE 2 vote, Sutten's office will use thre mobile' polis on election, da&icials will visit hospitals, nursing homes and similar facili- ties, se that thoso who, weuid have difficuity getting Wo the polling station on their ewn, can vote whore they live. Measures were aise taken te ousure that every poiling station is «barrier free» and accessible te the physicaliy disabied, Meska- iuk said "We have had te stop using some particular polis such as church basements because this weuld mean going down or up stairs,» she said. While the main outrances te some facilities will still have stairs, there will be elevaters located elsewhere in the build- ing, Moskaluk stressed. An new innovation that wili be used in this election is permit- ting persons who wili be outside the riding ou Oct. 25 te vote by mail. This wili allow people such as studenta away at university te vote in their home riding, said seilballet co-ordinator Cory A voting kit consisting of a ballot, au muner envelope, an outer envelope and a mailing envelope, is available at the returning office, she said. Proof ef identification with the person's address is required. ÂLhe last day te register votera by mail-in registration carda is Oct. 20 and the deadline for receipt of the ballots in Ottawa is 4 p.m. local time on Oct. 22. nu addition, advance polis will be heid for people who cannot vote ou Oct. 25.

Wood says that room has 84 seats, but is used b y only about 25 customers each bingo, about il per cent of the average 229 people attending. "As you can see, ovon given the opportunity Wo sit in a smoke-free area, 89 per cent of patrons chose not Wo." That proves that «regardiesa of how much non-smoking area. you provide, the seatmng preferences will net change,» sayasWood. Ho says adc pting the bylaw in Whitby will only chase bingo players, and the thousands of dollars they raise for charitable organizations, te other aroas, such as Oshawa who have net adopted smokingbyiaws.otr That hasn't happoned in te areas, says Sandi Schmidt, a Durham public health nurse. Sh ay xperince in Califor- smoking legislation shows it doesu't affect the economic viabi- lity "of any business other than those directly iuvolved in the production or sales of tobacco." In Peterborough, for example, she says Iess than 10 per cent of restaurant owners foît their busi- ness was adversely affected,» and not one complaint was received from restaurant owners in Toronto when a bylaw requiring a 50 per cent non-smoking area was adopted there. She says there's aise ne evi- douce Wo show a reduction in economic activity in an area which adopts a smoking bylaw. The Town of Pickering adopted a bylaw similar Wo the one Whitby isconidering at its cuclmeeting Monday niglit. Schmidt says ohor Durham towus are aise considering ado pt- ing. bylaws patterned aftr the region modeV-byiaw.
