ET RTT eT =] Tm I "ARAN -BA=-BR=_ It was a rare and happy moment for Leona Stanton of Poyt Perry when, for the first time, her family celebrated Christmas as four generations. Mrs. Stanton, who has lived in the Port Perry area all of her life, spent Christmas day at her daughter Phyllis Rout's home in Oshawa, along with her granddaughter Con- nie Stewart of Whitby, and her great-grandson David Adam Stewart. One of the highlights of the day was posing for a four generation photo including Mrs. Stanton, 74, Mrs. Rout, 49, Mrs. Stewart, 28, and little David Stewart, who is only 10 months old, and probably didn't understand all the fuss! Our thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Rout for sharing the photo with Star readers. : Utica news by Vera Brown Church and Sunday School this week will be held here in Utica at 11:15 a.m. U.C.W. members are reminded of the "Day Apart" Presbyterial meeting on Monday, January 11th at 9:30 a.m. at Brown's Corners United Church.

Being a person who likes to take a walk from time to time, I have noticed, (and it has been pointed out to me by several people) the number of dogs running loose in the neighbourhood. Maybe it's time that these people realize that their dogs should be contained and not allow- ed to pester their neighbours. The dog catcher could sure have fun in Utica.

You still have time to appeal your 1987 assessment if you feel your home or business property has been improperly assessed. Your assessment is important because the amount of property tax you will pay in 1988 depends on it. The assessed value of your property is multiplied by the municipal and school mill rates to determine your prop- erty taxes. Notices of Property Valuation were mailed to property owners and tenants whose assessments have changed since last year. Open house information sessions were held in your area to give you the opportunity to ask ques- tions and correct any errors. The Assessment Roll was delivered to your municipality on December 22, 1987 and will be used to calculate the taxes you will pay in 1988. You can review the Roll at your municipal office during regular business hours. If you believe your property has been improperly assessed and you have not yet registered an appeal, you still have until January 12, 1988 to mail or deliver your appeal to the Assessment Review Board. And remember, even if you did not receive a Notice of Property Valuation, you still have the right to appeal. : Appeal deadline -- January 12, 1988 The Assessment Review Board is an independent tri- bunal under the jurisdiction of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General. It is intended to provide you with an additional opportunity to have your assessment reviewed if, in your opinion, it is not fair and equitable with the assessment of 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. You can also use the reverse side of a Notice of Property Valuation, or write a letter giving the property address and roll number along with your reasons for appealing. Appeals should be forwarded to the Regional Registrar of the Assessment Review Board at the address shown below. In those parts of Ontario designated for French Lan- guage Services, you can appear before a bilingual (Eng- lish/French) Appeal Board. Please check the space provided on your appeal form if you wish to use this service.
