The resulting Assessment Rolls are delivered to municipalities which use them to set their mill rates and compute municipal property tax bills. The amount of property tax you pay on your home or business depends on the assessed value and the mill rate set by your municipality. The assessed value multiplied by the mill rate will determine your 1986 property taxes. Open House Sessions Open Houses are your opportunity to fully understand your assessment and to evaluate its equity. Open Houses are held in every munici- pality at convenient times and locations, to provide you with the opportunity to discuss your assessment with staff of the Regional Assessment Office. An assessor will be pleased to explain the basis of your property assessment and is authorized to amend any information as may be necessary prior to the delivery of the Assessment 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. Assessment Notice Property owners and tenants will receive an Assessment Notice only if information regarding their property or assessment was changed during the past year, if the assessment was appealed last year, or if the property has been reassessed under section 63 of the Assessment Act. If you receive an Assessment Notice, it may reflect changes you have requested in your school support designation, in the amount Town of Godench Village of Bayfield Township of Ashfield Township of Colborne Township of East Wawanosh Township of Goderich Township of Hullett Township of West Wawanosh Ontario %inushy of Revenue of your assessed value, or other recorded information on last year's Notice. Appeal Procedure If, after attending your local Open House, you are still dissatisfied with your assess- ment, you have a right to appeal it to the Assessment Review Board. The Assess- ment Review Board conducts informal hearings and is responsible for determining whether the assessment under appeal is fair and equitable with the assessments of similar properties in the vicinity or neighbourhood, and may alter your assess- ment accordingly. Appeal Deadline The final date for appealing your assess- ment is January 7, 1986. Your appeal must be forwarded, either on a Notice of Appeal Form or as a letter, to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board on or before January 7, 1986, noting your property address, Roll Number and the reason for the appeal. To assist you in this regard, 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.

Everyone enjoyed Sunday afternoon at the Mall - I don't know if any other area was open Sunday - but this was a great success. The shopping - and some of the prices - make some people want to get the old saw going and make their own doll houses; horses of all sizes and little furniture that is really a challenge. These are the people who should be working overtime on their hobbies because we are now realizing how precious and expensive these things are nowadays. I wish I had a list of hobby people in this area who can do these things - it is too late, now to start anything, but for another year these precious things could bring them a nice income. Perhaps you don't need extra income - then, why not create these lovely pieces so that some of these children who just wish for them, can have something beautiful to grow up with? I have someone you would enjoy meeting and his ideas will get you going. Everyone should have a hobby. So many men have dreams that have not been realiz- ed - and if they don't get off their butts right now, they will never get started. The ladies, bless them, are more enter- prising. These gals have had to do such a (;cosmetic Brush Grooming Accessories from 44 ONTARIO ST. STRATFORD Open litany 10 to 6 variety of jobs all their lives, that when they begin to slow down they are prepared to. spend more time doing something they real- ly like to do. The men - so many of them after they leave a job they've worked on for 40 years, can't seem to get started on a hobby. "I've �dways wanted to do woodworking" they say or "wanted to make funny windmills" they say, but they can't seem to organize themselves enough to get going. Some of the wives have got them started. Many just want to travel after being tied down all these years. But you do get tired of travelling after a while and that is thetone to get going on those weather vanes or block trains for the grand -kids. Think about it -it will lift the tension, ease the stress, get you thinking in a new direc- tion and take off your wrinkles. You can't get wrinkles if you keep busy. The ones you have you have earned - but a happy hobby keeps you young - it sure can make a big difference to your attitude and your whole life. Try it! What have you to lose but your friends. family and shut-in life? For your good health try this pick-me-up. To change the subject. a very nice couple Marg and Alf Staples. have a 50th this weekend. We congratulate them and wish we might be there at their 75th! Now there's a farmer who has never had a hobby. Be likes to mow the lawn and up to this year - put in .a garden. He threatens there will be no more gardens I but he has Marg to reckon with). Now, Marg has worked darned hard all her life, but she is smart enough to take ad- vantage of her art of sewing, to start a hob- by of making little clows. Hers are the nicest I've ever seen - here or in the States. The sewing is unsurpassed - and they're cute too. She has added no wrinkles! None to her face but some new ones to her hobby. Now, i know quit a few ladies doing beautiful work as a hobby. Some of then have taken their hobbies straight to the business sections and are doing just fine. admire them - envy them too. My hobby - something I never had time for until I became a grandmother. Perhaps too the act that we were miles apart helped get it going. I enjoy my paintings, give a great deal of myself with every one of them. As with other oldsters with their hobbies - i hope you enjoy them. i,ove, Martha.
