WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO IT THAT WAY.
THIS YEAR WE'LL HAVE A ZOOM MEETING TO SHARE ALL OF THE FOOD, BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE BIG TRADITIONS.

SO ANYWAY, UM, ONE OF THE TRADITIONS, A LOT OF FOLKS HAVE IS THE READING OF THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
AND THE LIBRARY BOARD, ANNA MARIE, THAT DR.
ANNA MARIE TABERNAC IS GOING TO, UM, READ THAT FOR US RIGHT NOW.
THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, A STORY WRITTEN BY CLEMENT C MOORE WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
WHEN ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE, NOT A CREATURE WAS STIRRING, NOT EVEN A MOUSE.
THE STOCKINGS WERE HUNG BY THE CHIMNEY WITH CARE IN THE HOPES THAT ST NICHOLAS SOON WOULD BE HERE.
THE CHILDREN WERE NESTLED ALL SNUG IN THEIR BEDS WHILE VISIONS OF SUGAR, PLUMS DANCED IN THEIR HEADS AND MAMA AND HER COACHEES.
AND I, AND MY CAT HAD JUST SETTLED OUR BRAINS FOR OUR LONG WINTER'S NAP.
WHEN OUT ON THE LAWN, THERE AROSE SUCH A CLATTER.
I SPRANG FROM MY BED TO SEE WHAT WAS THE MATTER AWAY TO THE WINDOW, FLEW LIKE A FLASH TORE, OPEN THE SHUTTERS AND THREW UP THE SASH.
THE MOON ON THE BREAST OF THE NEW FALLEN SNOW GAVE THE LUSTER OF MIDDAY TO OBJECTS BELOW.
WHEN WHAT DO MY WONDERING EYES SHOULD APPEAR, BUT A MINIATURE SLEIGH AND EIGHT TINY REINDEER WITH A LITTLE OLD DRIVER.
SO LIVELY AND QUICK, I KNEW IN A MOMENT, IT MUST BE ST.
THEY CAME AND HE WHISTLED AND SHOUTED AND CALLED THEM BY NAME.
NOW DANCER NOW PRANCER AND VIXEN UNCOMMENT ON CUPID ON DONNER AND BLITZEN TO THE TOP OF THE PORCH, TO THE TOP OF THE WALL.
NOW DASH AWAY, DASCHLE DASH AWAY, ALL AS DRY LEAVES THAT BEFORE THE WILD HURRICANE FLY, WHEN THEY MEET WITH AN OBSTACLE MOUNT TO THE SKY.
SO UP TO THE HOUSE, TOP THE COURSES, THEY FLEW WITH A SLAVE FULL OF TOYS AND ST.
AND THEN IN A TWINKLING, I HEARD ON THE ROOF, THE PRANCING AND PINT OF EACH
[00:10:01]
LITTLE HOOK AS I DREW IN MY HEAD AND WAS TURNING AROUND DOWN THE CHIMNEY ST.HE WAS DRESSED ALL IN FUR FROM HIS HEAD TO HIS FOOT.
AND HIS CLOTHES WERE ALL TARNISHED WITH ASHES AND SET A BUNDLE OF TOYS.
HE HAD FLUNG ON HIS BACK AND HE LOOKED LIKE A PEDDLER, JUST OPENING A PACK, HIS EYES.
OH, HOW THEY TWINKLED HIS DIMPLES, HOW MERRY HIS CHEEKS WERE LIKE ROSES AND HIS NOSE LIKE A CHERRY, HIS DROLL LITTLE MOUTH WAS DRAWN UP LIKE A BOW.
AND THE BEARD ON HIS CHIN WAS AS WHITE AS THE SNOW, THE STUMP OF A PIPE.
HE HELD TIGHT IN HIS TEETH AND THE SMOKE.
IT ENCIRCLED HIS HEAD, JUST LIKE A WREATH.
HE HAD A BROAD FACE AND A LITTLE ROUND BELLY THAT SHOOK WHEN HE LEFT LIKE A BOWL FULL OF JELLY.
HE WAS CHUBBY AND PLUMP, A RIGHT, JOLLY OLD ELF.
AND I LAUGHED WHEN I SAW HIM IN SPITE OF MYSELF, A WINK OF HIS EYE AND A TWIST OF HIS HEAD SOON GAVE ME TO KNOW I HAD NOTHING TO DREAD.
WENT STRAIGHT TO HIS WORK AND FILLED ALL THE STOCKINGS AND TURNED WITH A JERK AND LAYING HIS FINGER, HIS SIDE OF HIS NOSE AND GIVING A NOD UP THE CHIMNEY.
HE ROSE, HE SPRANG TO HIS SLEIGH TO HIS TEAM, GAVE A WHISTLE AND A WAY THEY ALL FLEW LIKE THE DOWN OF A THISTLE, BUT I HEARD HIM EXCLAIM ERE.
HE DROVE OUT OF SIGHT, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT, HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE IN THE COUNTY AND A PEACEFUL NEW.
AND OF COURSE WE WANT TO THANK DR.
ANNA MARIE TABERNAC FOR READING THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS FOR US NOW, PUBLIC WORKS HAS BEEN WORKING QUITE HARD OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, JUST KEEPING THESE BUILDINGS SAFE FOR US.
BUT IN THAT TIME, THEY ALSO HAD TIME TO PUT UP OUR CHRISTMAS TREE AS WELL.
AND WE'VE GOT A QUICK TIME-LAPSE OF HOW THAT WAS DONE OVER A TWO DAY PERIOD.
THEY WENT OUT AND GOT THE TREE, PUT IT UP AND AGAIN, IT'S RIGHT IN OUR COURTYARD.
SO EVERYBODY CAN RIDE BY AND SEE IT.
BUT RIGHT NOW TELL YOU WHAT, LET'S LIGHT IT.
AND WE'VE GOT THE BUTTON RIGHT HERE.
SO LET'S SAY LET'S COUNT THAT DOWN AND WE'LL DO IT AND I'LL LET YOU COUNT IT DOWN.
AND THAT'S OUR CHRISTMAS TREE.
IF EVERYBODY DO COME BY AND SEE IT, IT'S GOING TO BE LIT UP EVERY, EVERY NIGHT FROM THIS POINT ON.
AND, UM, SO WE'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME WITH THAT.
WE'LL HAVE TIME FOR SOME MORE MUSIC AND LET'S GO BACK AND LET'S GET CHRISTY OWENS AGAIN WITH, UM, HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS.
HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS.
WE ALL WILL BE TOGETHER IF THE FATES UP.
AND THAT WAS CHRISTIE OWENS WITH HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS.
WELL, THAT ABOUT WRAPS IT UP FOR THE CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS TO THE PUBLIC? YES.
SO, UH, EVERYONE, THIS HAS BEEN A TOUGH YEAR, AS WE ALL KNOW.
UM, WE'RE ENDING IT, HOPEFULLY ON A HIGH NOTE, THERE IS A VACCINE COMING.
IT'S A CHANCE FOR OUR FAMILIES TO GET TOGETHER.
HOWEVER WE POSSIBLY CAN, WHETHER IT IS PHYSICALLY, SOME OF OUR FAMILIES WILL BE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER OR LONG DISTANCE BY ZOOM.
HOWEVER YOU CELEBRATE THIS SEASON.
WE HOPE THAT YOU HAVE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO TO KATIE.

HELLO, MY NAME IS MILTON BOSWELL.
I AM THE DEPUTY ASSESSOR OF BEAVER COUNTY.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO USE THE REAL PROPERTY FUNCTIONS IN PROPERTY.
MAX REAL PROPERTY REFERS TO ANYTHING THAT THE ASSESSOR VALUE SUCH AS LAND BUILDINGS, MOBILE HOMES, OR CONDOMINIUMS.
[00:25:01]
WE HAVE A LINK TO PROPERTY MAX LOCATED ON THE HOME PAGE OF THE ASSESSOR'S WEBSITE, AS WELL AS ON THE MAIN COUNTY WEB PAGE, UNDER ONLINE SERVICES.SO WITH THAT LET'S GET STARTED.
AFTER YOU COLLECT ON PROPERTY, MAX, YOU WILL SEE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE, CLICK REAL PROPERTY, SEARCHING BY OWNER NAME AS THE DEFAULT SEARCH METHOD.
YOU ENTER THE LAST NAME FIRST FOLLOWED BY A SPACE, AND THEN THE, UH, FIRST INITIAL.
SO IN THIS EXAMPLE, SO YOU WOULD ENTER IT LIKE THAT.
OTHER WAYS TO SEARCH WOULD BE BY PROPERTY ID OR ALTERNATE ID USING THE INFORMATION FOUND ON EITHER A TAX BILL OR AN ASSESSMENT.
NOTICE YOU MAY ALSO SEARCH BY THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION SHOWN HERE.
THE HELPFUL TIP WOULD BE TO USE AN ASTERIX.
THEN PART OF THE LEGAL DESCRIPTION, SUCH AS CEDAR CREST, YOU WOULD CLICK LEGAL DESCRIPTION AND THEN AN ASTERISK AND THEN CEDAR CREST.
AND IT'LL TAKE IT A FEW MOMENTS, BUT THAT'S THE BEST WAY THAT I'VE FOUND IF YOU SEARCH BY LEGAL DESCRIPTION.
NOW, THE MOST COMMON WAY TO SEARCH OTHER THAN OWNER'S NAME IS BY STREET ADDRESS SHOWN HERE.
SO YOU WOULD PUT IN JUST THE FIRST STREET ADDRESS AND THEN NAME AND CLICK GO.
YOU'LL BE TAKEN TO THE OVERVIEW TAB.
ONCE THE PROPERTY INFORMATION HAS BEEN RETRIEVED, WHICH INCLUDES VALUES AND TAX INFORMATION.
PLEASE NOTE THE DATE THAT THE DATA WAS REFRESHED AND MOVING DOWN IS THE PARCEL TAB, WHICH DISPLAYS CURRENT ASSESSMENT INFORMATION, INCLUDING APPRAISED VALUES, TAXABLE VALUES, AND THE ASSESSMENT RATIO.
JOAN HERE NOTE THAT 2020 IS A BLANK BECAUSE WE ARE NOT IN THAT TAX CYCLE YET THE LAND TAB DISPLAYS BASIC LAND ATTRIBUTES, SUCH AS, UH, ACREAGE OR SQUARE FOOTAGE.
IF WE HAVE IT IN THE SYSTEM, THEY IMPROVEMENTS TAB DISPLAYS, BILLING FEATURES SUCH AS SIZE AND YOUR BILL CLICKING ON VIEW DETAILS WILL DISPLAY A SKETCH OF THE IMPROVEMENT.
AND IF YOU CLICK ON THAT, IT WILL ENLARGE THE SALES DISCLOSURE TAB DISPLAYS DETAILS OF OWNERSHIP, TRANSFERS SUCH AS THE SALE DATE, THE SALE AMOUNT AND THE DEED BOOK AND PAGE VALUE HISTORY SHOWS THE LAND AND IMPROVEMENT VALUES FOR YOU, WHICH TAX YOU.
AND THEN GIS MAPPING OPENS A NEW WINDOW SHOWING WHERE THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED.
FINAL FEATURE PROPERTY, MAX, THAT I WILL SHOW YOU IS SEARCH BY SALES.
THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO FIND SALES INFORMATION BASED ON FILTERS THAT YOU CREATE A HELPFUL TIP WOULD BE TO KEEP THE FILTERS AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE SO THAT YOU GET THE MOST RETURNS.
IN THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLE, I WILL SET FILTERS TO FIND THE 2019 SALES FOR CEDAR CREST SUBDIVISION.
THAT'S SOLD BETWEEN $60,000 AND $300,000.
SO FIRST YOU WOULD SET THE LOW SALES PRICE TO HAVE ONE, ONE, 2019.
YOU WOULD SET THE HIGH TWO 1231, 2019, UH, SET THE LOW SALE PRICE TO 60, WHICH IS A DEFAULT AND THEN SET THE HIGH SALES PRICE TO 300,000.
NOW, IF YOU SCROLL DOWN, YOU HAVE OTHER WAYS THAT YOU CAN FILTER THIS, BUT I'M GOING TO DO THIS BY NEIGHBORHOOD.
SO YOU WOULD SCROLL DOWN HERE AND THEN THEY'RE IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER.
SO I'M GOING TO SCROLL DOWN TO CEDAR CREEK AND THEN YOU WOULD CLICK GO.
AND THIS GIVES YOU THE RETURNS OF EVERYTHING THAT'S SOLD IN TAX YEAR, 19 OF THAT PARTICULAR SUBDIVISION, THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS THAT YOU CAN SEARCH FOR SALE.
I HOPE YOU FOUND THIS VIDEO INFORMATIVE AND THANK YOU FOR WATCHING.
