FROM THE EDITOR
I hope everyone is enjoying the summer weather, as brief as
it may be! Many farmers are finally seeing the end of plant-
ing, and are now hoping for some good haying weather.
How many remember those scorching summer days when,
years ago, hay was loaded by hand on wagon, lifted up to the
mow with a huge hay fork, and mowed by people sweating
at the top of the barn. I can remember the person on the
wagon putting the huge fork into the hay, and my job was
to drive the horse down the gangway, pulling the fork load
of hay into the mow, where others were waiting to level the
load in the mow. The men would always be ready for a cold
drink of water, brought out by the kids, before the next load.
Then we went and baled hay, with guys in the mow stacking
the bales that were sent up the bale elevator from the wag-
on. And if you did not get the bale straight on the elevator,
the bale would fall to the floor! I can remember the relief
August 12 - 16 From 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. when it was announced “this is the last load!”!

Tax Sale Property Procedures – changes to the Municipal Act
2001 on May 30th 2017 amended references that proper-
ties that are two years in arrears (formerly three years) may
be registered for Tax Sale. This means that if a property has
taxes owing on January 1st of the second year following that
in which the taxes became owing, the Treasurer of the mu- 13
nicipality, unless directed by Council, may prepare and regis- 1
ter a tax arrears certificate against the title of the property.
Should this occur, the owner will be required to pay taxes to
bring the account up to date and if not one year from the
registration date of the tax arrears certificate, the property
may be sold for the taxes owing, plus any legal costs incurred.
To avoid such action, the Township sends out arrears state-
ments regularly to all those with property taxes owing, to the
last known address on file. Please be sure to keep us up to
date on all changes in relation to your property. If you have
taxes owing in the year 2017 and beyond this will affect you!

HOWICK BLOOMERS
To complete their 10th Anniversary celebrations, the Bloomers and their friends chartered a bus on June 5th and spent a magical
day at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton. It was perfect timing to enjoy the lilacs, irises and peonies. The trip was orga-
nized by members Linda Spurgeon and Rhoda Cullen with attention to every part of the day - including a buffet supper and gift
bag! The trip was such a big success they are already making plans for next June's Day Tour.
