AND IN THE MATTER OF the lands and premises known as the "Head Church and Cemetery" located in Part of Lot 22, Conces- sion 6, Scugog Island, in the Township of Scugog in the Province of Ontario. TAKE NOTICE THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Scugog on the 12th day of March, 1990, established its intention to designate the lands and buildings known as the "Head Church and Cemetery" as a property of historical and /or architechural value or interest under the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.0. 1980, c. 337. STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED DESIGNATION: Pioneers of the "Head" Community (the southern third of Scugog Island) received ministerial services from the Methodist Episcopal Minister who held meetings on the Island during the 1840's and 1850's. Following a meeting in the 1850's, there was a decision to form a Church and Sunday School. In 1860, sufficient funds ($677.00) had been collected to build a church proper and a shed for horses ang carriages. In 1905, the congregation built a porch and cement walk and the tea room was added in 1914. Regular services ceased in 1959 and the "Head Church" came under the care of the Scugog Shores Historical Museum in 1969. The Head United Church Women's Group and the Museum now preserve the Church. The main features of the Church remain the same today. The church proper, the enclosed porch and the tea room together with the win- dows, casements, floor and pews are original. Other rural churches which have experienced closings have donated their historically significant treasures for interior use. The location and appearance are the same. The ground level building with simple lines and white clapboard remains a sanctified church. ANY PERSON MAY within thirty (30) days of the 12th day of June, 1990, serve by registered mail or personally deliver to the Clerk of the Corporation of the Township of Scugog, notice of objection to the proposed designation, together with a statement of the reasons for the objection and all relevant fact. Dated at the Township of Scugog this 11th day of June, 1990. Earl S.

The farming communi- ty and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture protested the changes, calling on the Premier for discussion and consultation with those directly affected. As a result, the government establish- ed a committee in June 1989 to review the program. On April 11, 1990 the Committee submitted its report to the Minister of Agriculture. By the end of May the Minister had not yet released the report. However, it has been learned that the committee recommended a return to the program"s original mandate--to relieve farmers of an unfair property tax burden. Many farm families were seriously af- fected by last year's changes. As an example, the interim rebate payment traditionally made in the spring was cancelled without warning. Money which farmers counted on to meet springtime ex- penses was suddenly not available. Farmers had to wait until September to receive the ap- plication form for the revised Rebate Program before they could figure out whether or not The Scugog Chamber of Commerce give you a WORLD of ENTERTAINMENT they were eligible. Some were surprised to learn that the govern- ment did not consider them full time farmers. The new rules tied the amount of tax rebate to off-farm income, penalizing families for earning money from farm related work. Activities such as planting and harvesting for payment are now considered off-farm income, even though many full time farmers rely on this type of custom work to make ends meet. The Farm Tax Rebate Pro- gram was instituted in 1970 because farmers were paying a disproportionate amount of pro- perty taxes, compared to non farmers. The program was designed to reflect the true value of farm land for assessment pur- poses. It was not a farm support program, and was not a welfare program. Agricultural experts and On- tario farmers have concluded that the government was wrong to change the eligibility rules last year. The committee's report clearly supports the position of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture that the program should be based on "the agricultural use of the property-- not on ownership status, occupa- tion of the owner, or income level of the owner."

The decision should be reversed to bring back the original principle of the Farm Pax Rebate Program-to help off- set unequal minicipal assessments of farm lands. My caucus colleagues have been urging the government to act immediately and adopt its own committee's recommenda- tions and demonstrate to the agricultural community that it really does care about this vital industry.
