Property owners get a lesson in assessment-speak BY GAIL SCOTT THE BERLIN DAILY SUN

RANDOLPH—Property owners were attentive and subdued at the Randolph town hall Wednesday as they took part in an hour-long Q and A session on how to read a property card, led by Avitar assessors Connie Jackson, of Colebrook, and Mark Stetson, of Andover. The owners present learned—as a result of a question from Auvie Kenison—that it is possible to generate a town-wide report of individual property values, similar to those formerly distributed to town property owners. Selectmen promised to look into producing such a report for Randolph residents. They also promised to hold further informational sessions on property evaluation questions. Resident Jim Meiklejohn praised the selectmen for their willingness to consider the issues, which, he said, marked a change from the attitude of previous selectmen. He said he hoped the session would be the ﬁ rst of a

series. Selectman chairman Ted Wier said that the board was dedicated to an open administration. The session was sponsored by the Randolph selectmen, all of whom were there, in response to a rising tide of questions about Randolph’s 2009 revaluation. These queries have been prompted by the extensive research into anomalies in Randolph assessments, discovered by summer cottage owner John Mudge, who is protesting his property’s assessment and whose request for an abatement will be heard by the N.H. Board of Tax and Land Appeals on Nov. 6. In preparing his case, Mudge has discovered an astonishing array of inconsistencies in Randolph property assessments since 1994. Among other things, he is requesting a town-wide revaluation. Wier introduced the speakers Wednesday, noting that the session would be “general in nature. We will not go into detail about your individual property. This will be a trial program. If it works we will look at other

HorrorFest to shoot Internet commercial at Heritage Park BERLIN — Fans of Halloween, theatre and the community in general are actively being recruited to lend their talents, or just their persons, to a marketing effort for the RiverFire and HorrorFest. The team that organized last year’s HorrorFest, which featured a haunted attraction at the Northern Forest Heritage Park during the RiverFire, is planning to promote this year’s event with an Internet video. “I’m looking to really do something special,” said Conway Public Library is featuring the Fine Art paintings done by Andre Belanger, for the entire month of August. Belanger was nominated by Cimbria Badenhausen, Berlin Better Buildings Community Manager, to have his work displayed. The theme for the paintings is called “Studies in Color.” Belanger is standing by his two latest paintings that will also be on display. He has over 25 paintings on display and he welcomes the public to his Artist’s Reception at the Conway Public Library on August 13, from 3-5 p.m. Belanger said, “It is an honor to share “Studies of Color, Visions of New Hampshire” with you. Thank you for taking part in this creative work.” Belanger is a sculptor and a painter who has received many recognitions for his pieces and continues to work full time producing paintings and sculptors. The Conway Public Library is located on 15 East Main Street in Conway.

AC crimes strike hard in summer heat HOUSTON (NY Times) — This summer, copper thieves have been keeping law enforcement officials busy throughout Texas and around the country. In Parker County, about an hour outside Dallas, seven churches have had their air-conditioning units damaged or stolen since late May by thievies looking for the the long coils of copper that serve as the arteries of air-conditioning units. Last week in Lexington, Ky., where the police arrested two men for felony theft, the air-conditioners were not at a church, but a-t Mary Todd Elementary School. In recent days and weeks, copper thieves have damaged or stolen heavy-duty air-conditioning units at the nonprofi t Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium in Fort Myers, Fla.; the main post offi ce in the Chicago suburb of Riverside, Ill.; Morningside Elementary School in Mobile, Ala.; and Shackelford Funeral Home in Adamsville, Tenn., forcing the relocation of one cancer victim’s funeral. While thefts of copper, platinum and other metals have long been a problem in many cities and towns, the focus on air-conditioning units during the recordbreaking heat that has gripped much of the country this summer has turned what can seem a minor crime in mild temperatures into a major disruption.

Cameron pledges swift reaction to rioters LONDON (NY Times) — Seeking to reestablish his authority after England’s worst rioting in decades, Prime Minister David Cameron told an emergency session of Parliament on Thursday that the authorities would consider curfews, constraining smartphones and social networking sites, and ﬁ lling some police functions with soldiers to keep more ofﬁcers on the street. He also said that he would consult a former New York City police commissioner, William J. Bratton, who presided over a

record drop in crime there in the 1990’s, on ways to counter criminal gangs. Mr. Cameron said the police were authorized to use plastic-coated bullets against rioters and that plans were in place to deploy water cannons when appropriate. “Nothing should be off the table,” he said. “Every contingency is being looked at.” He promised “swift justice,” even as the authorities turned to a tough reckoning after the days of rioting, looting and arson, with courts in several cities sitting through

U.S. stocks reverse back, up 4 percent, on economic data NEW YORK (NY Times) — Once again, Wall Street went to extremes. Stocks surged on Thursday, with the broader market rising more than 4 percent. It was the fourth day this week of major swings in stocks, following a drop on Monday, a sharp rise on Tuesday and steep declines on Wednesday. Stocks have zigzagged to an extent that has not been seen for years. Thursday’s close was the ﬁrst time that the S.& P. 500 had a change of at least 4 percent for four straight trading sessions since

2008. It closed up 51.88 points, or 4.63 percent, at 1,172.64. It was also the ﬁ rst time that the Dow Jones industrial average closed with a net change of 400 points or more for four straight sessions. It closed 423.37 points higher, or 3.9 percent, at 11,143.31. Apart from calculating the records, analysts sought explanations. Some noted that the declines had reached such a point this week that stocks were buoyed by bargain-hunting investors.

WASHINGTON (NY Times) — On May 6, a Central Intelligence Agency drone fi red a volley of missiles at a pickup truck carrying nine militants and bomb materials through a desolate stretch of Pakistan near the Afghan border. It killed all the militants — a clean strike with no civilian casualties, extending what is now a yearlong perfect record of avoiding collateral deaths. Or so goes the United States government’s version of the attack, from an American offi cial briefed on the classifi ed C.I.A. program. Here is another version, from a new report compiled by British and Pakistani journalists: The missiles hit a religious school, an adjoining restaurant and a house, killing 18 people — 12 militants, but also 6 civilians, known locally as Samad, Jamshed, Daraz, Iqbal, Noor Nawaz and Yousaf. The civilian toll of the C.I.A.’s drone campaign, which is widely credited with disrupting Al Qaeda and its allies in Pakistan’s tribal area, has been in bitter dispute since the strikes were accelerated in 2008.

the night. The police said that over 1,200 people had been arrested, most in London, since the frenzy of violence broke out on Saturday. The situation eased only after thousands of police reinforcements ﬂooded the streets of London and major cities. The convulsions of violence prompted widespread criticism of the police for an ineffective initial response and deeper failures including corruption and collusion exposed by the broadening phone hacking scandal.

Tornado conﬁrmed in New Hampshire COLEBROOK — The National Weather Service has conﬁ rmed a tornado touched down in Colebrook on July 26. The NWS said the EF0 tornado touched down at about 5:15 p.m. with estimated wind speeds between 70 and 75 mph. The tornado traveled for about a mile. Have Photos Of Colebrook Tornado Damage? Upload Them On u local The NWS in Gray, Maine, conducted

a storm survey in the area and ruled it a tornado based on damage and eyewitness accounts. Trees were snapped and uprooted, and there was minor damage to asphalt shingles. The tornado initially touched down on the Vermont side of the Connecticut River and crossed over into New Hampshire. No one was hurt. —Courtesy of WMUR

By Thomas L. Friedman The New York Times

The Day Our Leaders Got Unstuck Washington (AP) — It was a news conference the likes of which the White House had never seen. President Obama stood in the East Room, fl anked by the House speaker, John Boehner; the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell; the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid; and the House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi. The president asked Mr. Boehner to speak first: “My fellow Americans,” the Ohio Republican began. “We have just concluded a meeting with the president, prompted by this moment of extraordinary economic peril. Our party, as you know, is convinced that the main reason for our economic decline is that we have too much debt, that government has grown too big and that taxes and regulations are choking our dynamism. But I have to acknowledge that, over the years, our party has contributed to this debt burden and government spending binge. We are not innocent, and, therefore, we owe the country a strategy for governing and for fi xing a problem that we helped to create — instead of just blocking the president. The G.O.P. is better than that and has more to offer the nation. Therefore, we have informed the president that our legislators are ready to reopen negotiations immediately on

a ‘Grand Bargain’ to address all these debt issues once and for all and that everything will be on the table from our side — including tax reform that closes loopholes and eliminates wasteful subsidies, and, if need be, tax increases. To those who voted for us, rest assured that we will bring our conservative values to these negotiations and an emphasis on markets and meritocracies, but also a spirit of compromise and a recognition that both sides will have to bend if we are going to get the kind of comprehensive budget agreement the country needs. To my Tea Party colleagues, I say: thank you. Your passion helped spur the nation to action, but the country cannot be governed, and our future secured, by bowing solely to the passions of any single group — liberal or conservative. I know that the Tea Party activists are true patriots and they will work with us as well. President Obama: Let’s ﬁ x the country together and then compete in 2012 over who can best manage a growing pie rather than a shrinking one.” President Obama warmly embraced Mr. Boehner and then took the podium and said: “Speaker Boehner and Senator McConnell, thank see UNSTUCK page 5

Pogo and Lincoln As America reels from the initial results of the latest actions of the government it has elected to lead it, words of wisdom from the past are more and more insisting on being heard. Never more so than now do we need to pay attention. Words of wisdom may be found in many places, not the least of which is the cartoon strip. A favorite of millions was Walt Kelly’s “Pogo.” Kelly’s lovable critters who inhabited the Okefenokee Swamp often spoke truer than anything that could be heard, read, or seen through the country’s media. A personal favorite - and it turned out that I was far from being alone in this – was – and is - “We have met the enemy and he is us.” According to the website “I Go Pogo,” the quotation had its origins during the Joseph McCarthy witch hunt era. In his efforts to remind his fellow countrymen of their own responsibilities in allowing such character assassinations to take place, Kelly wrote “Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small ﬂ ags waving and tiny blasts of tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us.” Much later, while working on a few strips regarding pollution, he would simplify it to “We have met the enemy and he is us.” He did so, as he also wrote “believing as I do that we are all of us responsible for our myriad pollutions, public, private and political. Walt Kelly was a man I would like to have known and conversed with personally. Every American, I think, would like to have

known Abraham Lincoln. Here was a man who thought deeply and expressed himself in words that ring with a timeless truth. He may well have been speaking to the America of August 2011 when he said, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Or, “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Lincoln was almost always willing to reach out to his enemies and listen to what they had to say. He brought into his cabinet some who had openly opposed him. George McClelland, who commanded the Union Army in the ﬁ rst years of the Civil War, despised him, and yet Lincoln stood by him until he could no longer justify doing so. Lincoln was ever asking his countrymen to listen to the better angels of their nature. As he said, “Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?” Perhaps the various factions of our nation have become so hardened in their social, political, and religious convictions that they would rather see the nation fail rather than compromise their positions. Surely not. The future of the country as a whole is surely more important than the securing of any personal or political agenda. Our nation was founded on compromise. Its most important documents were a result of compromise. Let us not be our own worst enemies. (Ithaca Bound is the pen name of Dick Conway. His e-mail address is: ithacabound35@ gmail.com)

The intent is to support students in Coos County and surrounding areas pursuing an early childhood studies education as a part or full time student. Students must apply to WMCC to qualify for scholarship support. The ﬁ eld of early childhood education is growing and changing rapidly.

specialists, and directors of child care centers, there has never been a greater need for well-qualified early childhood professionals. Interested individuals should apply to WMCC in any of the following levels of Early Childhood Education: Entry Level Certificate, Early Childhood Certificate, or Associate Degree. Scholarship recipients must be enrolled in at least one ECE class. Online applications and course registration are available at the WMCC website: www.wmcc.edu.

great and guarantee that another generation will enjoy the American dream. Any fair-minded person who looks at all the stimulus investments I’ve made in education, clean energy, research and infrastructure can see that this has been my goal from the start. But I know those investments can’t be sustained without a new long-term budget deal. And I, too, have a confession: I’ve done a poor job integrating my nation-building ideas, including health care, into a single vision so people understood where I was going. I also let tactical political considerations — like abandoning the Bowles-Simpson commission — intervene, so Americans lost sight of my priorities. That will not happen again. No one loves this country more than I and my Democratic colleagues. While we will bring our traditional concerns for social justice and equality to these negotiations, we will not quit until a Grand Bargain to ensure American greatness is enacted into law.” At that point, all ﬁve leaders shook hands and retreated into the Oval Ofﬁ ce. It was exactly 9:29 a.m. One minute later, the New York Stock Exchange opened. The Dow was up 1,223 points at the open — an alltime record. What’s sad is how much this is a fantasy and how easily — with just a little political will — it could be a reality.

you for your commitment to act in our nation’s highest interests. Let me say publicly what I committed to you privately: I have asked Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson to revive their defi cit commission and to use their recommendations for how to cut spending and raise revenues as the starting point for our negotiations. But it will now be called ‘The National Commission for American Renewal.’ Because in addition to the original Bowles-Simpson members, it will include Senator McConnell, Speaker Boehner, Senator Reid and Congresswoman Pelosi, and its goal will indeed be a comprehensive plan for American renewal. Everything will be on the table — spending cuts, tax reform and increases, a framework for restructuring the debts of Americans whose homes are under water and the investments we need to renew the primary sources of our strength — infrastructure, education and scientific research. Each component will be integrated and timed to minimize pain and maximize job creation — and the entire package will be presented to Congress for an up-or-down vote. I am confident that real tax and entitlement reform will unleash billions of dollars in investments. “But the most important thing that will be on the table will not just be a plan to make our country solvent. It will be a plan to make America

town had employed Avitar Associates of New England to do the work. Jackson opened her address by recommending that everyone get a copy of their own assessment card. “It is the property owners’ obligation to make sure they are correct,” she said. “Mistakes may have been made on the card.” She also noted that the Avitar assessments are made on “the mass appraisal system.” This is a system “to look at the sales in a town, trying to extract numbers that make sense for land and buildings and use those numbers for base rates and to make adjustments.” “Mass appraisal is different than bank appraisal,” she continued. “They would compare your house with the three most similar sales. We distill everything to numbers and apply those to the town in an effort to divvy up the tax burden so it is equitable among the taxpayers. Most of the time, it is equitable. We have guidelines from the State.” As she continued, describing the notations on the front of a model property assessment card relating to the land value, some questions asked related to how current use is calculated (A—complex and relating

to the value of the land as potential for either forest or agricultural, plus recreational use allowed) and how view value is calculated (A—complex, relating to accessibility and other values). Jackson said there is a large notebook manual available in the town ofﬁce which describes in detail how such determinations are made, including calculations for “ad valorem,” which, Jackson said, relates to “the estimated market value of the land based on sales that have taken place in the town, exclusive of land that is in current use.” The back of the card relates to the building value, she said. As many of the houses in Randolph are summer use only, questions related to whether or not this is a factor. Jackson said that “if the house has no heating system, that would be noted in the listing and would be a component in the adjustment of square foot costs—no insulation, no basement, no water, that would be reﬂected in the quality.” Asked by Bill Demers if there is a rate for a camp or a cottage, Stetson replied that there is such a rate. “There are base rates for mobile homes, base rates for camps. The use of the property (seasonal, for instance) is less of a concern. It is what is the physisee LESSON page 7

cal property. There are elaborate residences that are only used one week of the year, but that doesn’t reduce the rate,” he said. “The use does not have an effect on the market value,” Jackson said. Asked by Andrew Wiley to describe the distinction between a “camp and the next thing up,” Stetson said the distinction is the general type of construction, such as “two by four roof rafters on 24 inches on center.” “That obviously camp type would be substandard for residential (classiﬁ cation). It would be construction to be a camp. That is obvious. It requires inspection and that is just one example,” he said. “There are other factors on ﬁeld review that could be determined.” Depreciation for age is another concern for Randolph valuation as some buildings were built many years ago. “The condition and age of the building determines age related depreciation,” said Jackson. Pointing to the model card, she noted that “this building is in excellent condition for a house that is 11 years old. It is nearly like brand new so the depreciation is only

two percent. Typically you would have more depreciation with the older buildings.” But, in response to Meiklejohn’s remark that on that basis some of the oldest buildings would have 100 percent depreciation, she said, “(the depreciation calculation) doesn’t work in a straight line. It goes downhill but not two percent a year. We still have houses built in the 1800s that are worth nothing, but if they have maintained, (they have value).” As for the square footage rating, Roberta Arbree noted that on the model card there was a fractional value but on her property assessment, there is no decimal value. Jackson said that the Avitar rule is that if the measurement is .7 inches or more, it is rounded up, so, in effect, 10.7 feet would be rounded up to 11 feet and 10.6 would be rounded down to 10 feet. If property owners are still unhappy with the result of the 2009 revaluation, they can submit a request for change to the selectmen and the selectmen will refer it to Avitar if there is sound reason for the request, said Weir in the wind up to the session. He and Selectperson Michele Cormier afﬁ rmed that they would try to get the town-wide report and make such a report available to town land owners.

DILBERT

by Darby Conley

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An unobtainable person has a magnetic appeal to you. Perhaps this is someone who is in no position to return your affection. The situation allows you to explore the complexities of emotion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Family will hold a mirror up to you whether or not you are in the mood to look at yourself. Their way of refl ecting you is a gift, though it may not feel that way just now. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ). People enjoy exchanging stories about misfortune. Stay out of the conversation. It’s a kind of competition, though there is no real benefit to winning. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It is easy to get caught up in your own thinking. Thoughts can double back on themselves and drag you inside them like a powerful riptide. To avoid getting carried away, stop the thought process early on. PISCES (Feb. 19 -March 20). There’s a hero in your midst -- someone who will gallantly slay the dragon for you. It may not be the one you think it is. Note that some of the best knights don’t wear armor. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (August 12). Make it a point to be around people who are as goal-oriented as you are. A change to your domestic life will be introduced in September. November brings fi nancial improvement. You’ll be helped by family members who want you to succeed. Your personal life sparkles with new friendships in February. Aquarius and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 47, 3, 22, 15 and 4.

Get Fuzzy

HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19 ). There will be an adjustment to your domestic life. It will happen slowly over the next seven days. You’ll be more comfortable at the end of it, but it will be a process. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will fi nd yourself in a position to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. You’ll do an excellent job at this, especially if you don’t give it too much thought. Shoot from the hip, and do what’s right. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When is there going to be a time to explore the interest that captured your imagination so thoroughly when you were a child? You may just find the time today. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know better than to be annoyed by the skeptics. Indeed, you are grateful for them because they spur you on to do and become more. You will be highly motivated now, eager to prove the skeptics wrong. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be in a wild and exploratory mood. Ask questions, and you’ll find good answers. Are they the right answers? Probably not. But they are good enough to keep you interested and asking more. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Make it easy for people to find you, and prepare to be surprised. Though you don’t necessarily want to talk to everyone from your past, there are a few people you will happily get to know all over again. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will be in a position to either hear or give a confession. The admission could lead to redemption or condemnation. Much hangs in the balance here. Be compassionate with yourself and others.

HEROES BOTH YOUNG AND OLD PERSEVERE OVER ADVERSITY

DEAR READERS: Yesterday I shared some of the emails you sent when “Alison in Ashland, Ore.” asked you to name your heroes. Today I am sharing more. If you have found them to be as uplifting and energizing as I have, at a time when most of the news we read today has been so depressing, read on: DEAR ABBY: Elizabeth Smart is my hero. She went on a forced ride and nine-month stay in hell, came back and has triumphed over that horror with grace, dignity and amazing maturity. -- DR. MARK M. IN UTAH DEAR ABBY: One of our family heroes is Ruby Bridges. Only 6 years old, a black child in the South, Ruby attended an all-white elementary school in New Orleans, enduring isolation, harassment and even death threats. Thanks to Ruby and all Americans who helped to break down racial barriers in education. -- MELINDA IN VIRGINIA DEAR ABBY: My hero happens to be famous, but that’s NOT why she’s my hero. It’s Tina Turner. She started young and became famous because she had an amazing talent. However, when her marriage dissolved, she was reduced to manual labor to support herself and her children. She struggled to get her career back and, after years, regained her place in the entertainment world. She’s my hero because she fell, got back up (no one did it for her) and made her place once again. She’s a great example of human perseverance and I really admire her. -- TAMARA G., ORLANDO, FLA. DEAR ABBY: Regarding real heroes, I nominate the journalists and writers who, at risk to their own lives, report the truth on what’s happening in war-torn countries or in countries ruled by dictators. These brave men and women work under threats of murder, torture and/or imprisonment. -BRENDA IN ATLANTA DEAR ABBY: My hero, Ken, is now 90. He’s one of the few

remaining vets who walked Bataan and survived, after 3 1/2 years as a Japanese POW. He returned beaten and broken to marry and produce 10 children whom he loved intensely. His captivity made him a more loving husband, father and friend, and never did I hear him express hatred for his captors. With so much hatred and violence in this world, Ken had the secret to spiritual and physical inner peace. I’ll not have another hero to match him. -- DICK H., ROSEVILLE, MINN. DEAR ABBY: A real hero is someone who donates an organ so that someone else may live. A real hero is someone who donates time to feed the hungry at a mission or sit with the elderly. There is a difference, to me, between a hero and someone who is brave. -- LARRY S., FLEMINGSBURG, KY. DEAR ABBY: Some time ago, a plane crashed in a river near Washington, D.C. It was winter and a helicopter was plucking survivors out of the freezing water. One woman had a broken arm and was unable to continue holding onto the rope suspended from the helicopter. She fell back into the river, soon to perish. A young bystander jumped, fully clothed, into the freezing water and brought her back to the bank. That, to me, is a real hero. -- RICK G., METAIRIE, LA. DEAR ABBY: I live in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and our town was devastated by a tornado on April 27. I can’t tell you how many people came to help out. People who lost everything were helping others. When it was announced that something was needed, people from many states drove here with trailers full of relief supplies. Don’t tell me we don’t have heroes. Just look around and notice who’s out there helping when the need is there. Better yet, don’t be looking, be doing it yourself and YOU will be the hero. -- BERNICE FROM TUSCALOOSA DEAR READERS: To read a longer version of this column, go to DearAbby.com.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at: Dear Abby, c/o The Conway Daily Sun, PO Box 1940, North Conway, NH 03860

COMMERCIAL from page one

So, what’s the draw? Why would a YouTube clip attract tourism? Dubey said there is a following for Halloween events in New England and a demographic of tourists specifically search out Halloween Festival events. A promo commercial that is “just interesting enough” to get the attention of that group, could bring more people into town and revive the spirit of older city festivals like Super Sunday and Tombola that he remembers from his youth. Dubey said that he believes that HorrorFest could be a very positive thing for the community that has the potential to diversify the tourist base. He explained that the HorrorFest has some talented make up and special effects people involved but could certainly use more. He hopes the commercial will boost the community involvement in the October

haunting as well. The HorrorFest video will be filmed at the NFHP on August 23. All are welcome regardless of interest level, Dubey said. Participants willing to be in makeup as well as those willing to be victims and bystanders are needed. Spectators are welcome. The goal is 110 people, but the number of participants will dictate the scene that organizers decide to go with. Anyone interested in helping plan, organize, construct or act are encouraged to contact HorrorFest through their Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/riverfire. berlinnh, or email kohos@ yahoo. com. Those who would like to be made up or help with make-up are asked to let organizers know in advance and be at the park by 2 p.m. on Aug. 23. Anyone interested in observing or playing the role of a townsperson should report to the park by 5 p.m.
