Thanks to all of you who have supported the idea of the Pittsfield Vermont Community web site. For a variety of reasons the site is not being used. I think it would be best to take the site down rather than leave it on line with possible obsolete or incorrect information.

I have added a "community" page to the Pittsfield Library web site and welcome people to send information of community interest for inclusion there. The library web site is www.pittsfieldlibrary.com

I will wait a week or two before taking this site down and would like to hear any opinions on the subject. Thanks again for supporting this community effort.

Rochester, VT – The town of Rochester will celebrate the Year of the Ox, 4707 in a library program designed to encourage community diversity, cultural understanding, and tolerance. The two hour event will be held on Saturday, 24 January 2009 at the Rochester Public Library on Main Street. The festivities will begin at 10 am and last till 12 noon. The actual date of the Lunar New Year falls on Monday, 26 January 2008.
In the Chinese Zodiac, the Ox is the second of twelve animals believed to represent the Chinese astrological signs. The representative animal this year is the Ox or Water Buffalo endowing those born in this year as persons who will gain prosperity through fortitude and hard work. As the Ox is large and strong in stature, so those who are born in a year of the Ox, stable, persevering, tolerant, and worthy to be called persons of strong character.
In support of this event, several Rochester businesses, Seasoned Books and The Rochester Café on Main Street, and Huntington House Inn on the Park, will be introducing Asian food fare in their menus!
Notably, President Barack Obama was born in the year of the Ox as was another world leader, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. Come find out who else was born an “Ox”!
Activities planned for the event are storytelling, an opportunity to read books about Chinese culture, games, fortune telling, children’s crafts, and a discussion of traditional foods and family celebration.

Join us for a new Christmas ritual.

Tuesday December 23rd at 6pm come Pittsfield's Roger Clark Memorial Library.

We will read a few Christmas stories, enjoy coco and snacks and watch the movie Polar Express. Wear your PJs and bring pillows and blankets to sit on the floor for the movie.

The Polar Express:
This magical holiday tale tells of a young boy who still wants to believe in Santa even though his friends have “grown out of it.” His faith is rewarded when a steam train pulls up to his house and escorts him to the North Pole to meet Santa. The cutting-edge “motion capture process” used to film this story allows the real life actors to drive the emotions and movements of the animated characters.

This is my first use of this site so I hope this is the appropriate forum to use for my question.
Does NEMC just show up, possibly twice, for property inspection? It seems to be an inefficient method for scheduling an appointment.
Another thought: in a declining real estate market, will the fair market value be depreciated on April 1, 2009 to reflect a loss of value, or, appreciation of value should that be the case?
