HIP presently insures over 1,200 fellow hospitality members in Western Canada through a unique protected self-insurance structure. We are excited about the benefits this program can offer to our members, such as immediate premium reduction, enhanced rate stability, potential for annual return of premiums, and a level of ownership and control unavailable through the traditional marketplace. If you wish to explore this opportunity, please contact our office to arrange to speak with a Western Financial Group Insurance Solutions representative or visit either of our exhibits at the BC Hospitality Industry Expo. Welcome to the 2011 BC Hospitality Industry Conference & Expo I wish to extend a warm welcome to all attendees of the BC Hospitality Industry Conference & Expo! I believe we have developed an educational and exciting agenda for this year’s conference and that the wide variety of suppliers the Expo is showcasing will bring many opportunities to compare products and services or to network with other industry professionals. I am personally excited for the opportunity to meet with many of our members for the first time. Enforcement Practices Police presence around Liquor Primary establishments continues to be an issue for many in our industry. While continuing to work toward strategies in order to broadly address these enforcement practices, we are currently using a multi- pronged approach to dealing with member concerns, given the involvement of various enforcement units in different regions across the province. Please contact me directly, by calling 1.800.663.4883, if this continues to be an issue for you and your establishments, so that I may learn of your specific concerns and determine the appropriate avenues of recourse to explore. Tied House and Trade Practices In June 2010 the BC government passed legislation that will amend the Liquor Control and Licensing Act with respect to tied house and trade practice laws. The previous legislation remains in force until consultation with industry has been completed. This information will be used in consideration of subsequent development of policies and potential regulations. ABLE BC was actively engaged in this consultation process, and we will communicate back to our members as we hear of developments with regard to any proposed amended policies. Thank You to Al McCreary On behalf of ABLE staff and our membership, I would like to thank Al McCreary for all he has done for our industry and our association during his term as president of ABLE. Although his contributions will continue as he assumes his new role as past president, we thank Al for his service, his guidance, and his support over the past two years. 6 The Publican The Publican 7 Screw Cap Wine Report The negative impression of screw caps originated from the first generation used by Tomonari Machida and Clinton Lee on bottles of rotgut wine back in the 1970s. With no intention of any length of storage whatsoever, these screw caps were very simple and cheaply constructed. This caused the initial To cork, or not to cork, that is the question… and it’s an ongoing debate in the attempt to convert to the screw cap format to end in wine industry. Producers around the world are struggling to determine which failure. However, with further research into the wine market’s overall needs, a type of closure is the best for their wines. This decision will not only affect the better screw cap was developed. The Stelvin capsule consisting of a screw cap, a aging potential of their wines, but also their sales volume. The majority of long skirt to cover the neck of the bottle below the screw cap, and a liner within consumers still tend to associate cork with more expensive and/or better quality the screw cap that is specifically designed to come in contact with the wine. wines, and screw caps with inexpensive, mass market wines, but a new shift in thinking is on the horizon. Here are the pros and cons of various closures: Screw caps are free of TCA taint and are relatively inexpensive to produce in comparison to a natural cork. Easy to open without any tools and just as easy to close again if you’re unable to finish the wine, screw caps are entirely recyclable Natural Cork like aluminum pop cans.

  • Everyday Life of Jews in Mariampole, Lithuania (1894–1911)1
    Chapter 1 Everyday Life of Jews in Mariampole, Lithuania 1 (1894–1911) INTRODUCTION The urge to discover one‘s roots is universal. This desire inspired me to reconstruct stories about my ancestors in Mariampole, Lithuania, for my grandchildren and generations to come. These stories tell the daily lives and culture of Jewish families who lived in northeastern Europe within Russian-dominated Lithuania at the turn of the twentieth century. The town name has been spelled in various ways. In YIVO, the formal Yiddish transliteration, the town name would be ―Maryampol.‖ In Lithuanian, the name is Marijampolė (with a dot over the ―e‖). In Polish, the name is written as Marjampol, and in Yiddish with Hebrew characters, the name is written from and pronounced ―Mariampol.‖ In English spelling, the town name ‖מאַריאַמפּאָל― right to left as is ―Marijampol.‖ From 1956 until the end of Soviet control in 1989, the town was called ―Kapsukas,‖ after one of the founders of the Lithuanian Communist party. The former name, Mariampole, was restored shortly before Lithuania regained independence.2 For consistency, I refer to the town in the English-friendly Yiddish, ―Mariampole.‖3 My paternal grandparents, Dvore Shilobolsky/Jacobson4 and Moyshe Zundel Trivasch, moved there around 1886 shortly after their marriage. They had previously lived in Przerośl, a town about 35 miles southwest of Mariampole. Both Przerośl and Mariampole were part of the Pale of Settlement, a place where the Russian empire forced its Jews to live 1791–1917. It is likely that Mariampole promised to offer Jews a better life than the crowded conditions of the section of the Pale where my grandparents had lived.

  • Alcoholic Beverages; Authorizing a Manufacturer Licensee to Hold a Drinking Establishment License
    To: House Federal & State Affairs Committee February 14, 2017 From: R.E. “Tuck” Duncan RE: HB2141 — Alcoholic beverages; authorizing a manufacturer licensee to hold a drinking establishment license. The KWSWA opposes HB2141. This bill creates a “tied house” which is contrary to state and federal public policy. The Federal Alcohol Administration Act provides at 7 United States Code, Chapter 8, Subchapter I, Section 205 establishes "Tied house" violations. As prescribed under the Tied House provisions, it is unlawful for industry members to induce, directly or indirectly, a retailer to purchase alcoholic beverage products from the industry member to the exclusion, in whole or in part, of alcohol beverage products offered for sale by others. This guidance is issued to address recent examples of industry members found to have furnished retailers with unlawful inducements by supplying items of value such as product displays, point of sale advertising materials, equipment and supplies in exchange for favorable product shelf or display space. TTB regulations at 27 CFR 6.21(a) through (g) list seven prohibited means to induce that can lead to a violation under the Tied House provisions Paragraph (c) of this regulation provides that an industry member may not furnish, give, rent, lend, or sell to a retailer any equipment, fixtures, signs, supplies, money, services, or other things of value, subject to the exceptions listed under Subpart D of part 6. Sec. 6.11 defines industry member and retailer as follows: Industry member. Any person engaged in business as a distiller, brewer, rectifier, blender, or other producer, or as an importer or wholesaler, of distilled spirits, wine or malt beverages, or as a bottler, or warehousemen and bottler, of distilled spirits; industry member does not include an agency of a State or political subdivision thereof, or an officer or employee of such agency.

  • California's Tied House Laws
    California’s Tied House Laws Unnecessary Barrier to Business or Reasonable Regulation? Matthew D. Botting General Counsel California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana (1905) Reason in Common Sense, p. 284, volume 1 of The Life of Reason What is “good” regulation of alcohol and who gets to decide? “Public policy” is a balancing of choices, which seems to make it appear to be a constantly moving target. Beyond keeping alcohol out of the hands of minors and keeping communities safe, it is often difficult to articulate a coherent public policy of alcohol regulation. Hard to explain the three-tier system and the purposes behind the tied-house laws. Alcohol seems to be viewed more and more as a commodity rather than a potentially dangerous product deserving of strict regulation. This results in policy decisions often being made based upon economic considerations of the alcoholic beverage industry. Evolution of alcohol regulation in California since the 1950’s has been toward breaking down strict segregation. As influential individuals and companies seek to do business across tiers, there is greater pressure to allow cross-tier ownership and promotional opportunities. Everyone wants a piece of the pie: third party providers, event promoters, brand builders, intellectual property, apps, social media, delivery services, etc., etc. Regulatory challenges of dealing with unlicensed parties – what they tell us they are doing is not always accurate (or can change very quickly). Who is really controlling the transaction and selling the alcohol. Cal. Constitution, Art. XX, Sec.
