Not Only Are they upset to see higher Bills for licensing their establishments but some Are also offended to discover the City has labelled them High risk. What they ave done is they ave said anybody who Cooks food from scratch is a High risk establishment said Vic Folsom who has owned Juliana pizza & restaurant on Ellice Avenue for 35 years and who received just such a designation. Were a restaurant Folsom added. What do they expect we would do in a restaurant thatus what we do. But what that successfully does is place every restaurant that Cooks food from scratch in a High risk category. Folsom said the Cost of his annual business licence has jumped from $ 346.50 to $ 550. At Blondie is which has served hamburgers on main Street in West Kildonan for 18 years owner Sandy Doyle is equally angry. They re classifying anybody who Sells burgers apparently As High risk a said Doyle adding she was stunned when she saw her licence Bill had increased from $ 330 to $ 550. I said what ism going to kill somebody a thatus Why i have business insurance Doyle said. It makes my head want to explode. The doing business in Winnipeg bylaw passed by City Council last april is meant to regulate businesses on matters of Public health fire safety and even potential criminal activity. It covers businesses that handle food such As restaurants As Well As an array of others where Public safety could be at Issue such As swimming pools and even escort agencies. The bylaw emerged from mayor Sam katzes 2005 red tape commission that took aim at City Hall regulations. It reduces the kinds of businesses the City regulates from about 80 to 27 and focuses on businesses considered in need of regulation said Peter Parys manager of Community bylaw enforcement services for the Community services department. Parys said not All restaurants Are labelled High risk under the system. Those that handle food extensively require More inspection than others he said and inspection costs Are the cause of the hikes in licence fees. The More you handle food theress More to be looked at in terms of the inspection process Parys said. The new bylaw took effect june 1 but the City Only sent licence Bills to food service establishments this month due to administrative delays he added. Joe. Paraskevas free press. My. Ca these three nights were the Best gift in the world for All of us. Tonight i am particularly proud to Call myself a Manitoban. Keely Schellenberg. Dear or. Sinclair i was hoping you could help me to thank a wonderful Man who came to my Aid Friday morning aug. 8th. I had been biking to work my Normal route which i have biked Many times before when i came upon some new construction barriers and was unable to Stop my bicycle due to a thin layer of Sand on the ground. My bikes handle bar clipped the Edge of the Barrier and i guess my Bike stopped but i kept going. I hit a guard rail and crumpled to the ground. Thatus when Larry appeared. He was biking As Well and saw the whole thing. He stopped to help me. He called 911. He tied a shirt around my grossly injured Arm and stayed with me while we waited for the paramedics. He kept me talking and made me feel Safe. He saw me into the ambulance. He even showed up later at the Hospital to see How i was doing. All i know is his name is Larry and i believe he works for the Hydro company. I just wanted to take this Opportunity to express my gratitude to Larry and let him know that i really appreciate everything he did for me that morning. I also wanted to Point out that i was wearing my Bike helmet that morning and even though Ive never cared for what it does to my hair do and Ive always Felt the yellow and Black color made it look like a plastic Bee on my head i am pretty sure it saved my life. So to All of you Bike riders out there please always Wear a helmet. And to Larry thank you so much for being there for me. Sincerely Erin Shattuck Macdonald.
