Busy month for seniors BY PAM WILLIAMS Now that the “ides” of March is almost upon us, it’s good to know that spring is just around the corner. The Day Cent re for the Home­ bound is eagerly preparing for the new season. We’re looking ahead for the Belmore Maple Syrup Festival and Blyth Festival plays. We even plan to attend a Stratford Festival play this year. The day trips are quite popular. We also have activities at the centre. (Wingham Armoury). Guest speakers, exercises, sing­ ing, foot clinics, crafts, recreation­ al games, and a full course noon meal are part of the regular day centre program. March is nutrition month so the Centre will try to feature some healthy programs by inviting Cathy Thompson, nutritionist with the Huron County Health Unit tobe their guest speaker on March 19. Sharon Creighton the Lucknow and Area Public Health Nurse will be the guest speaker on Wednesday, March 18. The Centre also plans to have a special entertainment afternoon of Irish frolicking on St. Patrick’s Day. Bowling will be the sport of the week of March 23-27. You can be a part of the audience or be a participant and you’ll probably enjoy both. On Tuesday, March 31, the group will be trekking to the Maple Keys Sugar Bush and participating in a tour to see the various methods of maple syrup production. The Maitland Valley Conservation Au­ thority maintains the bush and the group will have a chance to purchase some maple syrup and sugar. Don’t forget the fundraising dance at the Belmore Community Centre on Saturday, April 4. Music will be provided by “The Enter­ tainers” a popular band from the Fergus area.

Attention Property Owners and Tenants in the Townships of East Wawanosh and McKillop 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 pi rposes 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 March 19,1987 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. Appeal deadline — March 19,1987 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. © Ontario Ministry of Revenue Regional Registrar ASSESSMENT REVIEW BOARD MINISTRY OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 426 Third St., 1st floor London, Ontario N5W 4W6
