Dancers will soon have to carry receipt books and operators are being required to post a menu of services at Clarington's two establishments featuring featuring female entertainment. The businesses businesses affected by the bylaw are Ye Olde Tanglewood Restaurant on Highway Two in Courtice and The Castle Hotel on King Street in Bowmanville. With no debate and little public input, Clarington council has passed a new bylaw governing how the businesses businesses are licensed, how they charge customers, the hours they may operate and how many such business can operate operate in Clarington at one time. "It seems to me that they're using an atomic bomb when they should be using a pea shooter," said John Pajak of the Tanglewood Restaurant. "I agree that there should be some controls. If owners and operators have to be licensed, fine. But that's where it should end." What this bylaw will do, says Issack Ziniuk, of The Castle, is to make the current businesses close their doors. "We will be seeking legal advice," he said. "But. we're going to have to close if they are going to be like that. It's already hard enough to run a successful successful business here without this." Ziniuk says the licensing fees imposed on the owners and operators will affect business. He adds that the fees imposed on tire attendants will deter dancers from coming to Clarington. "A licence to dance in Toronto is under $100," said Ziniuk. "Who's going to pay $250 to come to Clarington? The girls will go where the money is." Under the new bylaw, the licence Continued on page 2 Under the New Byl aw, ••• Owners, operators and attendants must have photo identification and be licensed. • A list of services provided by the establishment, including prices for services, must be filed with the Municipality of Clarington. • A similar list must be posted in a conspicuous place in the establishment. establishment. • Attendants are responsible for keeping records of the services provided provided and the amount paid by customers. • Customers must be provided with a receipt.

Jim Grimley, police were called to the tavern in Newcastle at 2:45 a.m. Sunday, to deal with a man who was said to be causing a disturbance. Grimley says a man was taken into custody and placed in the back of a police cruiser, when a group of patrons exited the bar and "became unruly." The man in the back of the cruiser, "egged on by the crowd," is believed to have kicked out the rear window of the car, says Grimley. In the brawl which ensued, one police officer was kicked in the face. He was taken to Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, where he was treated for a concussion and a swollen mouth. At least six men were arrested as a result of the incident, says Grimley. Derek Honeyman, 24, of Resnik Drive in Newcastle has been charged with causing a disturbance and mischief.
