BY BILL BRAGG
The administrator at the Huron-
view home for the aged thinks
women employees at the institu-
ion are more prone to sickness
because they have a heavier
burden to carry in private life.
Wayne Lister, who said he
hoped his remarks would not be
misconstrued as male chauvinism,
was replying to a question from
Bayfield Reeve David Johnston.
Johnston wondered after look
ing at the 1986 absenteeism report
for employees at the home if it was
not a healthy place to work.
The report showed that only 14
out of 145 employees had perfect
attendance. Atotalof 1,797.5 days
were lost because of absenteeism.
* ‘ I would also like you to notice if
you read that absenteeism report
over very carefully-- and please
don’t construe this that I’m a male
chauvinist pig -- look at how
healthy the males are,” Lister
said.
‘‘In all fairness to the women,
the majority of the ladies working
here at Huronview have a very
difficult role to fulfill.
“First of all, they’re a mother.
Secondly, they’re a wife. Lots of
times they’re the main home
support. They bring in the money
to support the family.
“And then their husbands and
family expect them to be involved
in social life as well and a lot of
ladies can’t handle all of that load.
“I think you’ll find that in lots of
cases the ladies are just plain worn
out and tired and they pick up
sickness very readily. That’s basi
cally the bottom line.
He noted that males don’t have
to do those things.
‘ The females not only get up in
the morning and make their
husbands’ breakfast but they also
go home at night, make supper and
clean the house and then are
expected to be a glamorous wife
and entertainer.
“I think that’s part of the cause
why ladies are sick.”
as acting principal. He lives in
Wingham with his wife and two
children.
When asked what he would like
to do in the future, Mr. Whiteley
said, “Stay at Grey Central! It’s a
terrific school with great kids and a
great staff.”

WANT TO APPEAL
YOUR ASSESSMENT?
You still have time to appeal your 1986 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 1987 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
tax you must pay on your property in 1987. 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 February 26, 1987 to
deliver or mail 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.

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.
