The Huron Women Teachers’
Association Affirmative Action con
venor, Beth McGee, describes the
purpose for the Annual Affirmative
Action Banquet, to be held on
Monday, February 5 at the White
Carnation, Holmesville: “Affirma
tive action in education helps in
providing leadership for women to
achieve more out of their profes
sional lives. The Affirmative Action
Banquet is one means by which
women who aspire to positions-of-
added-responsibility may interact
with other women of similar inter
ests, and, more particularly, with
the Trustees and the Administra
tion of the Huron Board of Educa
tion.”
Beth hopes that the banquet will
increase awareness on all levels
that there are qualified and “quali
ty” women who wish to be admini
strators in Huron County. “We are
justly proud of our Affirmative
Action program here in Huron
County; I have reason to believe
that our program is on a par with
the programs in the larger urban
areas of Ontario. Huron County has
an ever-expanding wealth of talent
for positions of added responsibil
ity among its female teaching
staff,” concludes Affirmative Ac
tion convenor Beth McGee.
The keynote speaker for the
banquet is Patty Emerson, superin
tendent for the Waterloo County
Board of Education. Patty comes
highly recommended by those who
have heard her speak. Her topic for
the evening is “Women In Leader
ship”. ____

fined $500 for assault
A Wingham man received a fine
of $500 after pleading guilty to
assault in Provincial Court in
Wingham, Wednesday in an inci
dent in Blyth.
David Andrew Battye of 47
Diagonal Rd., Wingham pleaded
guilty to a charge of common
assault involving a disturbance
outside the Blyth and District
Community Centre on June 25,
1989.
The court was told that Richard
Badley was leaving a dance at the
Community Centre that evening.
Mr. Battye was standing by a
pickup truck outside. Words were
exchanged between the two men
and Mr. Battye swung and kicked
at Mr. Badley. Mr. Badley fell and
Mr. Battye kicked him in the face
while he was on, the ground.
Defence attorney Alan Mill poin
ted out the victim was a much
larger man than the accused. He
said there had been bad feelings
between the two men for some
time, a mutual dislike. He suggest
ed under the circumstances a fine
was in order. Crown Attorney

before lecturing Mr. Battye. In
“putting the boots to someone’’,
he told Mr. Battye, “you were
dangerously close to going to jail.’’
He fined him $500 and gave him 90
days to pay.
PROPERTY
ASSESSMENT
and your 1990 Municipal and School Taxes
Regional Assessment Offices located throughout Ontario are responsible
for assessing all real property for the purposes of municipal and school
taxation.
Assessment Rolls are prepared and delivered to municipalities which
use them to set mill rates and calculate property tax bills. The amount
of property tax you will pay on your home or business in 1990 is determined
by multiplying the assessed value of your property by the mill rate.
If you want to learn more about your property assessment, the Regional
Assessment Office invites you to attend its Open House Session.
Appeal procedure
If, after attending your local Open House,
you are still dissatisfied with your assess
ment, you have the right to appeal it to the
Assessment Review Board. This Board is
responsible for determining whether the
assessment under appeal is fair and
equitable with the assessments of similar
properties in the vicinity. The Assessment
Review Board is more informal and relaxed
than a regular court of law.
/
Appeal Deadline /
The final date for appealing'your assessment
is March 20, 1990.
If you wish to appeal your assessment,
you can use the form provided on the back
of your Notice of Property Valuation, write
a letter, or use a Notice of Appeal form.
You need to include your property address,
roll number, and the reason for the appeal.
Your appeal must be filed on or before
March 20, 1990.
To assist you, Notice of Appeal forms
and the address of the Regional Registrar of
the Assessment Review Board are available
at Open Houses, your Regional Assessment
Office, or your municipal office.
Notice.
Schedule of Open Houses
Open House Sessions
Open Houses are held in every municipality
at convenient times and locations to provide
you with the opportunity to discuss your

Office.
An assessor will be pleased to explain the
basis of your property assessment and is
authorized to amend any inaccurate infor
mation prior to the delivery of the Assess
ment Roll to your municipality.
If you have any questions, but are unable
to attend the Open House, please contact
your Regional Assessment Office at the
address or telephone number shown below.
Notice of Property Valuation
Property owners and tenants will receive a
Notice of Property Valuation if information
relating to their property assessment was
changed during the past year, if the assess
ment was appealed last year, or if there has
been a general reassessment in the munici
pality. If you receive a Notice of Property
Valuation, it may reflect changes you have
