KINDOS RECONSIDERS TENTATIVE DEAL

It's Not A Done Deal Yet.

The owner of Gator Ted's restaurant in Burlington says he is going to
take the weekend to mull over the contents of an 11-page tentative
settlement in his fight with medical marijuana user Steve Gibson.

Ted Kindos told the Post that he is re-considering what appeared to
be an agreement between he and Gibson.

He refused to comment further.

The owner of Gator Ted's Tap and Grill on Guelph Line had initially
said that he and local resident Steve Gibson had reached a deal over
the latter's smoking outside Kindos' business and other related issues.

Kindos didn't want Gibson - who has a federal government exemption to
smoke medical pot to ease neck pain from a workplace injury - to
smoke his weed too close to the front entrance of Gator Ted's. The
restaurant owner believed the smoke was bothering passing customers.

Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario registrar Patricia Grenier said a
hearing date of May 21 is still set aside to hear the case.

Gibson had told the Post that even though the deal had not been
signed, he thought the ordeal was over.
