Home and school
studies parenting
The Brussels Public Home and
School Association held their third
general meeting on Tuesday,
February 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the
grade eight room at the Brussels
Public School.
Joy Daymond and Linda Hen-
hoffer of the Wingham Psychiatric
Services discussed "Responsible
Parenting". They were quite
interesting. Parenting courses for
parents of young children and
teenagers are offered in Wingham
by Joy and Linda. A course for
parents of young ones starts the
end of March while one for those of
teenagers is offered in the Fall.
After a brief coffee break
business was discussed. The
Home and School region banquet,
set for April, was mentioned. it is to
be held in Underwood.
There is also to be an executive
conference in Teeswater on Satur-
day, May 10. This is planned to
help new executives learn about
their role in Home and School.
Brussels Public Home and
School requires new members in
the executive. The position of vice
president needs to be filled.
Anyone wishing to help should
contact Jane McDonald 887-6773.
Home and School is a very worthy
organization. After all it is the
children of our community who
benefit from our work.
Ken Scott, our principal, presen-
ted us with a list of equipment
suggested for the Kindergarten.
The executive agreed to the
purchase of a puppet theatre, a set
of 12 puppets, a play kitchen
cupboard, two sets of Iinca blocks
and a super aquaplay.
It was also suggested that the
Home and School in partnership
with the school take videos of all the
classes in the fall so that there will
be a record of children should an
emergency arise. Sue Gowing and
Jane McDonald will be drawing up
guidelines for this endeavour. If
you have any suggestions please
notify Sue or Jane.
A fourth and final Home and
School meeting will be held in
April. The group hopes attendance
will be improved. The meeting
topic and date of meeting will be
announced later.
Attention Property Owners and Tenants in the
Village of Blyth
WANT TO APPEAL
YOUR ASSESSMENT?
You still have time to appeal your 1985 assessment if you
feel your home or business property has been improperly
assessed.
Your assessment is important because the amount of
property tax you pay depends on it, in that the assessed
value of your property is multiplied by your municipal and
school mill rate to determine your 1986 property taxes.
Notices of Assessment have been mailed to property
owners and tenants whose assessments have changed
since last year. Open houses have been held in your area
to answer questions and amend assessment information
if necessary. Open house dates and locations were
announced in a previous advertisement.
The Assessment Roll has now been delivered to your
municipality for the purposes of calculating the amount of
taxes you must pay on your property in 1986. For informa-
tion on your assessment, the Assessment Roll is now
available for review at your Municipal Office during regu-
lar business hours. If you feel your property has been
improperly assessed, and you have not yet made your
appeal known, you still have until March 4, 1986 to deliver
or mall an appeal to the Assessment Review Board. And
remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of
Assessment, you still have the right to appeal.
Appeal deadline—March 4, 1986
The Assessment Review Board is an impartial body
reporting to the Attorney General of Ontario, which pro-
vides you with an additional opportunity to have your
assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it is not fair and
equitable with similar properties in your area. The Review
Board is more informal and relaxed than a regular court of
law. You may present your own case, retain a lawyer or
ask a relative or friend to speak as your agent.
To help you in filing your appeal, Notice of Appeal forms
are available from the Assessment Review Board, your
Regional Assessment Office or your Municipal Office. As
well, you can use the reverse side of a Notice of Assess-
ment or write a letter stating the property address and roll
number, together with your reasons for appealing.
Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of
the Assessment Review Board listed below.
