THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2003 > THE NEW TANNER 15 Red Dog owner blames smoking bylaw for closure Tam writing this letter to confirm some misled in- formation gained by a (sic) Acton Tanner editor in re- gards to the Tid Bit (sic) written about me and my business The Red Dog, in the Acton Tanner news paper. First of all, Yes I did close my doors and No it was not without public comment, the people that I felt needed to be notified about my closing were, and joined me for one last night of fun, and one last cocktail, with me. As for the "Promise" I made to A.S.A.P (Acton Sports Action Park), I do recall notifying them of a dona- tion The Red Dog would be making, and I would hand over to them any monies raised. once their project was on the go, which I have every inten- tion of doings so, and as for the amount, it was not $1600.00, it was nowhere near that amount, I only had 40 players in the tour- nament. I just wish that people who write in the papers these days would get there (sic) straight be- fore they print things. And for all of the people of the community who feel they should have been notified about my closing, should maybe have come and pa- tronized my establishment, » and maybe have supported me a little more. I know I am going to repeat myself when I say this but I would like to thank the new Smok- ing Bylaw for helping me lock my doors for the last time. Cheers Lauri (Parker) EDITOR'S NOTE: Inan interview with The New Tanner, Red Dog owner Lauri Parker said, as was reported in the July 17 is- sue, that "We had a great time and really did well, raising approximately $1,600."

Two of the more common factors that -entice people to part with their money appeared to be greed or ignorance. We have all heard the stories of people getting a letter, phone call or fax about the terrific op- portunity, to make some quick cash, the letter usually asks that you: P DOLLIVER SURVEYING INC "ONTARIO LAND SURVEYORS Land Information Services 54 Mill St. E. 853-2502 web: www.dolliver.com _ E-mail: surveys @ dolliver.com ¢ Don't mention the deal to anyone else (so you won't be talked out of it) ¢ You have to act quickly (so you don't have time to think about it or change your mind) © You must send your money, bank or credit card information as a show of good faith (that's what they are really after...your money of your bank information.) 20 Ib.

Others through lack of knowledge or experience, get involved in these type of schemes because they don't know any better.
