"Seventeen Black"
By Tom Camera
Have you ever walked up to a
roulette table and placed a one
hundred dollar bet straight up?
The bet pays thirty five to one.
That's $3.500. For a one
hundred dollar bet. Not many
people do and chances are
neither will you. Gambling in
one form or the other is the
second oldest profession and as
fate would have it, the first and
the second seem explicably tied
together forever.
The Ontario government has
made the casino issue a hot topic
when it announced that it will
approve casinos throughout the
.regions. Recently two casinos
have been approved for the
Durham region. Ajax Mayor.
Steve Parish is making a strong
call for the casino issue to be
decided by a referendum vote.
According to Parish it's too good
an economic opportunity to pestis
up. "The logical location for a
casing in Durham would be
Ajax or Pickering." says Parish,
but the acceptance of casinos
into a community should he
measured against the impact an
aft:rmative vote would have on
the host community. There are a
number of issues Parish would
be advised to consider before
supporting a casino in his
community.
The Church has historically
opposed gambling when perma-
nently staged Las Vegas style
casinos are introduced into the
community even though the
church has supported bingo
games held in schools, commu-
nity halls and parish basements.
The church has always
supported these events under the
appearance that these events are
held for the common good,
bringing communities and
people together. There is a
myriad of charity gambling
venues designed to support wor-
thy community causes, hospi-
tals or welfare agencies who
purport to do this for the same
reason as the church. On the
other hand the church raises a
great deal of their operating rev-
enue and have for years realized.
(what governments have in re-
cent years realized), that these
gambling events are cash cows
not easily given up.
The church believes
that casinos narrow
the freedom and A
pursuit of leisure into
a narrowly focused
pursuit of amassing
money and that the
broader social inter-
est degenerates into
greed. The gambler
feels extra pressure
on the obligation to
provide for the family
as casinos are
introduced into the
community and the
need to win increases.
A Las Vegas style casino repre-
sents an overt symbol or vision
that takes away from individual
freedom and accordingly when
an activity takes away from the
freedom of an individual, that
activity is deemed to be sinful.
Pressure gambling is the
catalyst for illegal social activity.
Where there is money there is
pleasure. The pleasure of spend-
ing it or the pleasure of using it
as a tool for more pleasure. The
high of winning can easily be
matched by the high from illegal
substances that invariably are
found wherever money is. This
is also where the oldest profes-
sion fits seamlessly into the
fabric of gambling and
flourishes in its shadow, where
betting on a woman for a
moment of pleasure or betting
on a number provides the same
chance to win or lose.
Casinos depend on the local
population and the tourist
industry for customers. but more
importantly to escape market sat-
uration they need to expand into
different geographical markets.
last year Oshawa defeated a casi-
no in their community by a
referendum vote on the issue.
Most other Ontario communities
have historically displayed an
aversion
1:
�• /
and even
an indignation for
casinos, but when
neighboring communities accept
one, the rejecting community
wants back in the game. This at-
titude is characterized b} the
statement -1 don't want one, but
if you get one then I want one
too." When all regions have casi-
nos they cannot all gain at the
others' expense, but each will
experience the eternal costs of
gambling without the hope for
economic expansion" says Dr.
Earl Grinols an economist who
specializes in gambling. No one
should be surprised to learn that
locals constitute a majority of
visits and thereby providing the
majority of revenues. This is the
point at which the negative
economic spiral begins.
People only have so much
money to spend and when they
spend their money on gambling
something else goes lacking.
Gamblers by nature gamble,
they don't shop, so the perceived
economic gains that casinos will
bring may be a myth that should
be considered. Donald Trump
admits, "people will spend a
tremendous amount of money
in casinos, money that they
would normally spend on buy-
ing a
refrigerator or a new car." "Tra-
ditional businesses" says Kindt
in a 1994 study, "are at a
difficult disadvantage
when pitted against
legalized gam-
bling interests."
Municipalities
are eagerly con-
vinced that more
jobs will be created
and spin off spending
will make a positive
economic impact on their
community. Of course
casinos will supply jobs, but
will the jobs created simply be a
transfer of the work force from
existing businesses to the casino
business.
Local governments fail to resist
anti-ipated revenue streams gen-
erated by casinos while dream-
ing of untold tax dollars funnel-
ing into their municipal budgets.
The amount of tax
revenue generated by gambling
is only a small part of the total
revenue picture in local govern-
ment and studies have shown
that casino gambling creates
both a negative and positive
ripple effect within the commu-
nity. Jobs may be created or
transferred; new businesses will
be started supporting the casino
business, while others will fail
against the competition. Taxes
will be generated for the munic-
ipality by the casino, while taxes
will be lost through failed
businesses.
Funny thing, but let's not over-
look the intimacy of politics and
gambling. Politics and gambling
are kindred souls tied together
by the thrill of taking chances.
Placing an 'A" beside a name
on an election ballot is like fill-
ing in the circle on a bingo card,
where you accept the fact that
the odds are stacked against you
and always in favor of the house.
The dreams of hitting the jack-
pot disappear with the last dollar
in your pocket and the candi-
date's promises fade away in
office. Soon after electing the
politician or picking a number,
regret sets in. Politics, it seems,
is who gets what, where, when
and how in every area of our
lives. Its how we interact with
each other and how we negotiate
through our social web. Gam-
bling is no different and full of
risk taking. The smart gambler
weighs the odds and then makes
his bet, just what we hope our
smart politicians will do.
In Ajax Steve Parish wants to
put casinos on the ballot and it
appears he believes they're good
for his community. If it really is
the intention of the Ontario
government to locate a casino
within the boundaries of either
Ajax or Pickering, then the peo-
ple should have the right by
referendum to reject or affirm
the acceptance of that casino
into their community. In No-
vember, when we go to the polls
to gamble on our future the peo-
ple of Ajax and Pickering should
know where our candidates
stand on this issue. We will
weigh the odds and we will
make our bet by taking a chance
on politics. Its where we take
our best shot by betting on the
candidate that we believe in.

(NC) -When you walk
out the door to visit a
supplier, or travel to a
customer location, the reality
is that back at the office the
phone continues to ring,
e-mail continues to arrive,
and faxes stream in.
The ability to access this
information while away from
the office, is critical to the
success of many small
businesses. While larger
corporations often have an
army of staff both on-site and
in the field, small businesses
are increasingly relying on
technology to enable them to
be responsive while on the
road.
Technology such as
laptop computers allow
mobile workers to store,
update and create
documents, eliminating the
need to lug around
paperwork. And, for the
mobile worker who wants to
connect to the Internet, many
laptops come equipped with
modems. A laptop with a
modem, once hooked up to a
telephone line, can enable
access to the Internet. For
those who purchase a laptop
without a modem, one can
be easily installed. Access to
the Internet enables workers
to keep in touch with
customers and co-workers,
by sending and receiving
messages via e-mail. The
.Internet is also an excellent
research tool, allowing the
mobile worker to investigate
the competition.
A modem also provides
workers with access to the
company server. Company
servers often house databases
that contain information such
as sales documents, customer
profiles and corporate
literature. Mobile workers
can connect to the server and
download the information
they require, to their laptop.
For the small business
that has a mobile sales team,
technology can help to
enhance the sales process.
Workers can utilize their
telephone link to access sales
databases located on the
company server. For
example, this can often mean
the ability to track a
customer order to determine
its status, or to retrieve
information about a specific
customer.
Just how technology can
improve the efficiency of
mobile workers can be seen
by looking at Toronto-based
BakeWorks Hot Bagels and
Basics, which was
founded in 1993 by
Abigail and Lisa
Slater, and has
grown to be a
successful small
business franchise.
The business
consists of four
corporate stores, six
franchises, and a
Salary vs. Dividends for
Small Business Owners
(NC)-lf you own a small business, you may be able to im-
prove your tax situation with the right mix of salary and divi-
dends received as compensation. Although the Canadian tax
system is designed to exact approximately the same total tax
dollars - combined corporate and personal - regardless of the
combination of salary and dividends, such perfect integration
does not always occur.
With careful planning, you can minimize the total
corporate and personal tax you pay, and maximize
available after-tax funds. Consider the following:
You can bonus out active corporate income that would
otherwise attract high corporate rates, such as profits in excess
of $200,000. Accrued bonuses must be paid within 180 days,
but you may lend the after-tax proceeds back to the
corporation.
. Dividends, to the extent that the company has a
balance in the capital dividend account, can be received tax
free.
- Dividends may trigger refundable taxes to the corporation,
resulting in a reduction of taxes payable, in which case divi-
dends may be preferable to salary.
• Salary or bonus in the current year creates earned income
necessary for RRSP contributions in the subsequent year,
whereas dividends do not.
When determining the mix of salary and dividends, ensure
that personal tax credits are fully utilized and maintain the de-
sired levels of salary for purposes of contribution to CPP and
RRSP's. No Two situations are identical, and the only way to
determine the optimum combination is to calculate the alter-
natives on an individual basis.
plant which produces all of
the baked goods that are sold
to the franchises. One of the
challenges the Slaters have
faced with the rapid growth
of their company, is that their
field supervisor Floyd
Calzonetti. who is the main
contact person between head
office and the franchises,
spends four days a week on
the road visiting franchisees.
Maintaining contact with
Calzonetti is critical if the
business is to run smoothly.
Calzonetti helps the
franchisees run their
operation by looking into
operational issues and
ensures that they are
following company specifi-
cations. Part of his job is to
document information
crucial to the business for
both the franchisees and the
head office in a timely
manner. In the past,
Calzonetti would take down
notes and then type them up
four days later when he
returned to the office.
The Slaters looked to
technology to make
September 1997 • The Durham Sun
Calzonetti's job of communi-
cating with both head office
and the franchises easier.
They provided him with an
IBM ThinkPad with remote
access capabilities. Now
Calzonetti can retrieve
important documents located
on the company server,
create and send memos to the
franchisees the same day he
visits them, and send and
receive e-mail.
Once used primarily by
large corporations, mobile
computing technology is
providing small businesses
with a competitive advantage
by enabling them to take
their office on the road and
stay in touch with customers,
suppliers and other
employees.

The folks at Rembrandt Oral Care
Products researched The Power Puck-

One of the experts' theories is that
because more women are moving into
corporate board rooms, a kiss on the

enforced rigid standards of social be-

1997 Fire Prevention Week
Know When to Go! React Fast to Fire!
At one time or another, it's
happened to all of us: You're in a
public setting - maybe shopping
at the mall or eating at a
restaurant - when suddenly
the fire alarm sounds.
The first thing you do
is look around to
see what everyone
else does (if
anything). According
to Ajax Fire Preven-
tion Officer Thom
Evered, this hesitation
may be a common
response, but it could
prove deadly.
"Too often, people
dont react when a
fire alarm sounds.
Particularly in public
settings, people tend
to wait to see how
and death in a fire."
As Fire Prevention Week
begins across North America
next week, this year's theme,
"Know When to Go! React Fast

Fire Prevention Officer Thom

sive response is often what

to Fire! will work
to change the pub-
lic's attitudes to-
ward fire alarms in
public settings.
Fire Prevention
Officer Thom
Evered also
strongly stresses
the importance of
escape planning in
anv location. "No
matter where you
are, or what type
of building you're
in, if a fire breaks
out, it's tow late to
,,tart
developing a plan.
You've (,ot to know how to
respond immediately in a vari-
ety of situations, and take early
warning signs of fire seriously."
An important component
MapleRun Homes
Dare To Compare
of this year's Fire Prevention
Week campaign, October 5th to
1 1 th, will focus on home escape
plans. In addition, this year's
theme addresses instances where
it may be safer to stay where you
are if a fire occurs, such as in
high-rise buildings.
Thom Evered urges everyone
to develop home escape plans
with all members of the house-
hold, and to practice fire drills
regularly. He says an adequate
escape plan for one -and -two
family dwellings includes every-
one in the household knowing
two ways out of every room,
establishing an outdoor location
in front of the home where
everyone will meet upon exiting,
and knowing the emergency
number of the home where
everyone will meet upon exiting.
and knowing the emergency
number of the fire department
(911), which should be contacted
immediately from a nearby
phone.

Review Featuring Vanishing Point
Vanishing Point: Featuring Barry Newman, Dean Jagger, Cleavon Little, Robert Donner. Paul Koslo.
Severn Darden. Gilda Texter and Victoria Medlin
Nobody won an academy award and no one cares. This movie is just plain fun and has become a cult clas-
sic. The whole story is set around Barry Newman's character who is asked to drive a Dodge Challenger from
Dem er to San Francisco. (Don't we all know someone who thought of driving a car somewhere for someone.
just so we can get a free ride to where we want to go.) Any way, Newman decides he wants to get there in 15
hours and therein lies the storv. You know he's got to outsmart the cops in order to get there in that time and
with that speed. He gets a lot of help from a blind D.J. called super soul in some unknown southem town. Like
1 said No awards were won, but this movie lett an indelible impression of rebellion against authority and the
music was good too!

Expert Advice
(NC) -Every winter millions
of drivers drive blind, spraying
washer Fluid that just freezes,
icing -up the windshield.
Experts warn that poor
duality washer fluid can make
winter driving even more
hazardous. To keep your
'., indshield free of ice, experts
recommend Prestone Products'
,pecial windshield De -Icer
Washer Fluid. Unlike regular
washer fluids, it won't freeze on
the windshield, which is
especially important for cars that
are parked outside. In addition,
special cleaning agents quickly
remove slush and road grime.
"We've all been annoyed by
frozen windshields and
continuing icy build-up while
driving in winter weather," said
Gord Robertson, Vice -President
& General Manager for Prestone
Products (Canada) Limited.
"We've solved this problem
with products that keep on
working -and keep drivers safer -
even in sub -zero temperatures."
For those cold winter
mornings when the car
windshield resembles an Arctic
floe, try these simple steps:
1. Start the car and turn on
the defroster.
2. Spray Prestone De-
Froster on the frosted or icy area.
Combining specially formulated
ice melting and antifreeze

to choose from in stock
ingredients, and a powerful
spray, (and a scraper top with
ice -cutting teeth on the aerosol
version), the product melts
windshield frost and light ice in
a hurry. Wait a few seconds.
Turn on windshield wipers and
use windshield De -Icer Washer
Fluid to clear the windshield.
3. For heavy ice, score
surface (with scraper cap teeth),
spray on De-Froster and clear
with scraper blade.

4. Use Prestone Windshield
De-icer Washer Fluid to keep
windows clear and clean while
driving.
Prestone products are
available at mass merchandisers
and other retail outlets.
Cutline: In winter, make
sure your windshield has
de-icing capabilities. "Blue"
water just makes matters worse.
