Heidi and Fred McClure were greeters at Duff's United Church on Feb. 1. by PattyWalton Banks 887-6156 Rev Murray welcomed everyone and the Call to Worship was given. The choir sang, "When We Are Living" and then the children were called forward where Rev. asked how many of them had their Valentine card ready? Valentines are nice he told them, they let people know how special they are. They all use the one word - Love, and love can mean so many different things. He told them that there is love for parents, friends, pets, love between parents etc. He asked what the Greek gods were like on Zena and Hercules? "Mean, vindictive, rude and hurtful" were some of the answers. In contrast we worship a God of Love. Rev. Murray's sermon was called "What Kind Of Love Is This?"

Michael O'Shea Sharon Doxtator President Secretary -Manager What are the three most important things about property assessment? Fairness, fairness and fairness. During February, property owners will receive a Notice of Property Assessment and an information package in the mail. Your Notice shows the Current Value Assessment of your property. From now on, property assessments will be kept fair, consistent and up-to-date for everyone. Your municipality will continue to be responsible for setting municipal property tax rates. • Your Notice package will tell you more about the Ontario Fair Assessment System. For example, it will tell you: • how municipalities must assist low-income'senior and disabled homeowners and how they can phase in any tax changes over a period of up to eight years; • where and when information sessions on the new system will be held in your community. For more information, call the Assessment Information Line at: 1-800-827-1857 or call your Regional Assessment Office.
