WHITBY FlEE PRESS.WILDNESDAY NO.MEMBE 2.7, 1985;PAGE 13 Pot Bowman from page 10 Bowman za her recognizable as hard-working and determined) and in the east ward where she lives. She also had signs on which she did her own art work. "The colour (red and white) really zapp>ed them," said Bowman. And she solicited sup- port with 225 personal phone calls in which she said, "Do you have 30 seconds to spare me? This is why I'm run- ning" and then concen- trated on the need for better communication. Third in a family of four children, Bowman was born in Edmonton but has lived in Durham Region since she was three months old. Her father, a roll designer at LASCO, has done consulting work in the steel industry all over the world. Her mother, a nurse, had a , bookshop in Oshawa until a car ac- cident in Britain caused her to give it up. Now she looks after the family hobby farm in Bowmanville. In spite of a rather af- fluent background Bowman said she was expected to earn ipped 'em everything she got. At eight she was selling regal cards and she remembers later having three paper routes while other kids were on vacation. She said her father was generous in the area of travel. "He took us at least twice to every province. in Canada." Working for the prin- ting company three days a week, freelan- cing for two days, plus private tutoring for one day doesn't give Bowman a lot of spare time but she has hob- bies. She is a singer and songwriter, writing folk songs "relating to the good of mankind" - a natural outgrowth of her involvement with the New Testament Fellowship inOshawa. "My number one priority will be with the board of education." Her social life she said is a little bleak, because of her commitment to her work, but she said she has a number of good friends. "Wben I need their support I can give them a call, and they can do the same with me. ______ s Hospital needs presents Christmas is fast ap- proaching and we at Whitby Psychiatric Hospital are getting in full swing to make it a special holiday season. We would like to ask that in your Christmas preparations you keep in mind the people who will spend the festive season in a psychiatric hospital or rehabilitative centre. A gift from a caring in- dividual in the com- munity brings with it not only the joy of Christmas but a sense of promise for the New Year. New items or cash donations are always appreciated. Please do not wrap the gifts as each patient receives several packages carefully selected by nursing staff familiar with the patient's preferences. When you select a gift just choose a small item a man or woman would enjoy. Here are some suggestions. Take a broad view The planner should talk to you about the amount of investment risk you are willing to take in achieving your goals and he should make specific suggestions for im- proving your cash management habits. You should also be given information on a wide range of invest- ment possibilities with the pros and cons set out for each plan. Advice from other professionals such as lawyers, accountants and stockbrokers should be made available. Finally, the planner should set up a schedule for monitoring the progress of your plan. The sale of securities and insurance plans is regulated in Ontario. If you feel a planner is in- volved in questionable activities, contact the OSC at (416) 963-0242 or call a local Consumer Services Bureau of the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations.

S.,AA, NAI M __ PROPERTY ASSESSMENT and your 1986 Municipal and School Taxes Regional Offices located throughout Ontario are responsible for assessing all real property for the purposes of municipal and school taxation. The resulting Assessment Rolls are delivered to municipalities which use them to set their mill rates and compute municipal property tax bills. The amount of property tax you pay on your home or business depends on the assessed value and the mill rate set by your municipality. The assessed value multiplied by the mill rate will determine your 1986 property taxes. Open House Sessions Open Houses are your opportunity to fully understand your assessment and to evaluate its equity. Open Houses are held in every munici- pality at convenient times and locations, to provide you with the opportunity to discuss your assessment with staff of the Regional Assessment Office. An assessor will be pleased to explain the basis of your property assessment and is authorized to amend any information as may be necessary prior to the delivery of the Assessment Roll to your municipality. If you have any questions but are unable to attend the Open House, please contact your Regibnal Assessment Office at the address or telephone number shown below. Assessment Notice Property owners and tenants will receive an .Assessment Notice only if information regarding their property or assessment was changed during the past year, if the assessment was appealed last year, or if the property has been reassessed under section 63 of the Assessment Act. If you receive an Assessment Notice, it may reflect changes you have requested in your school support designation, in the amount of your assessed value, or other recorded information on last year's Notice. Appeal Procedure If, after attending your local Open House, you are still dissatisfied with your assess- ment, you have a right to appeal it to the Assessment Review Board.
