PROPERTY ASSESSMENT and your 1986 Municipal and School Taxes Regional Offices located throughout Ontario are responsible for assessing all real property for the purposes of municipal and school taxation. - - 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. —A -you -have -any -questions -bat 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 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 yoLr 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.

This meeting was one of the group's "Year of the Youth"' projects. The Keils were introduced by Darlene Harding. Mrs. Keil pointed out that the aim of streetproofing our children is to educate them — not to frighten them. Through streetproofing Mrs. Keil said- children will become more confident and this will give them more freedom. The talk covered the following areas: the myths we have about sexual assault; how to go about streetproofing children; what to do if an attack occurs and the feelings following an attack. Everyone found the presentation to be very in- teresting and informative and it was an honor to have the Keils at the meeting. Judy Barrie thanked they Keils for their presentation. Another "Year of the Youth" project was the presentation of Christmas stockings to the Salvation Army in Wingham. Each Junior WI member had filled a stocking for. a teenaged boy or girl. The stockings were presented to Mrs. Borden Linkletter and Bill• Hen- derson Sr. from the Wingham Salvation Army. A short business meeting followed. The roll call was answered by the number of children each member has and reports were given by the babysitting course, Hallowe'en dance, fall conference and Christmas party committees. The Christmas party is planned for Dec. 19. The meeting closed with the Mary Stewart Collect. Stroke deaths declining, says noted researcher By Alan Rivett CLINTON—While there is more to be learned in the field of stroke and heart disease, the incidence off stroke related death has declined by, five per cent each year since 1950, said a recognized leader in the field. Dr. Henry J. M. Barnett, chairman of the Department of Neurological Sciences at the University of Western Ontario at London, was the guest speaker at the Huron County Heart and Stroke Foundation's annual meet- ing at Huronview earlier this month. "Like an iceberg, stroke research is becoming more clear now, but there is more to be 'uncovered under the Surface," said Dr. Barnett to a packed house at ,the Huronview auditorium. In an upbeat and sometimes humorous ad- dress to foundation mem- bers, Dr. Barnett traced the history of the advancements in stroke research and where it is headed. He credited the reduction in deaths and disability due' to stroke to technological .advances which have aided in early stroke detection. "We can visualize the heart and brian now more than we'ever could before," he added, referring to space- age technology and echo- cardiogram which shows stroke -causing blood clots restricting blood flow to the brain. ,Over an eight-year period,. esearchers have identified a number of symtoms which ould read to stroke — moking, high blood pressure, - high fat diet and uncontrolled diabetes. Dr. arnett said these stroke-.. hreatening symtoms in - Jude sudden weakness in an rm or leg, sudden aralysis, dizziness and temporary loss of speech or ision for 15 minutes and up 0 24 hours. Half of those who have had trokes have experienced ese symptoms and should be regarded as stroke threatening symptoms unit shown otherwise. With regard to reducin the risks of high bloo pressure and blood clots, number of drugs now ar used. Also the use o Aspirin is prescribed t prevent blood from clotting. In studies conducted between 1972 and 1977, a 30 per cent reduction in stroke or stroke death was ex- perienced by those patients who used Aspirin as com- pared to those who did not use it. Dr. Barnett warned ' that Aspirin is effective for some' people, but not for ,others. However it can be used to a greater degree' than other anti -coagulants, which are difficult to use and the doses must. be closely - supervised, he said. it Dr. Barnett said the medical community is g poised for a breakthrough in d the treatment of stroke with a ah experimental product re called Fluosol. He described f it as a petroleum substance o with oxygen -carrying pro- perties, much like the body's red blood cells, but smaller. Bowling COFFEE KLATCH Jean King, 217, 218; Muriel Irvine, 226; • Doris Reming- ton, 208; Susan Pegg, 204. There will beno bowling Dec. 2. WED. NIGHT LADIES To start off the second series, Michelle's Monks and Nancy's"Nuns are tied with seven points and Faye's Friars have 5 points. Lila's Laymen and Juanita's Rabbis didn't get any points, but they will do better next week. Bonnie Cleghorn had the high single of 297 and Shirley Storey had the high triple of 762. Other top bowlers were Jean King 289; Nancy O'Neil 260; Sheila Walker 230; Ernie Kenyon 229 and Mary Lee 225. BLUEVALE MIXED Kevin Hickey had the men's high single of 738 and Winnie Boyd had the ladies' high triple of 622. Milt Boyd had the men's high single of 268 and the high triple for the ladies was rolled by Winnie Boyd with 240. Other high games were rolled by Milt Boyd 251; Kevin Hickey 251, 251, 236 and Herb Kenyon 242: According to Dr. Barnett, F1'uosol, as a treatment for stroke, may be effective in bringing oxygen to a damaged blood vessel where a red blood cell would be unable to penetrate a blockage in the artery. "This kind of treatment could be the difference between a major and a minor stroke; it could mean the difference of going back to work or going to a nursing home," he said: The substance, however, is toxic to the body in its ,present form. Through research a safe variation could •be developed inthe immediate future. Belgrave Marjorie Procter of Lon- , .don spent' last Wednesday with her mother, Mrs, Eliza- beth Procter.
