Shirley had been one of the ladies ten years ago, who had been in the class of silk arrangements at the Centre by Gail Cameron but unlike the most of us, she continued to do flowers. She had several different sizes of hats, as well as wreaths, wicker baskets of flowers, a duck planter, a hurricane lamp that was very showy, a broom and her daughter's wedding bouquet, as well as those for the bridesmaids and some lovely corsages. Then she snowed us how she decorates a hat and it didn't take very long. As we all know Shirley, we asked questions and some even gave suggestions.

Commissioner of Planning Local Resident Tired of Answering Tax Queries A Bowmanville resident is getting tired of playing taxman. For the past 10 years the resident (who doesn't want his name to be used) has been fielding calls for Revenue Revenue Canada's tax guide department department in Thunder Bay. It seems the resident's phone number in Bowman- ville is identical to a number in Thunder Bay. (Thunder Bay has the same 623 number number in exchange as Bowmanville.). Bowmanville.). In the 1989 Tax Guide, numbers are listed that residents residents of Ontario can call for information. . Under local calls in Thunder Thunder Bay, "623-2751" is listed listed for people to call requesting requesting tax forms. A separate number is listed for long distance distance calls. Therefore, the Bowmanville Bowmanville man can't understand why he keeps receiving these calls. From February to April, usually once a day, he takes a phone call from someone looking for Revenue Canada. He has talked to Bell Canada about his problem and they have offered to give him a new number but he has friends overseas who know his current number. He says he realizes that people can make mistakes but he is getting tired of the mistakes happening every day. He spoke with The Statesman to let people in this area know that if they . dial the number in Thunder Bay they won't be reaching an official with Revenue Canada, they'll be reaching him instead. • WINDOWS DOORS • SKYLIGHTS SOLARIUMS • SOFFIT • ADDITIONS HEAT MIRROR® Custom Installations 5 Points Mall j a ✓ Taunton Rd.
