Letter


Recently, Rep. Maureen Mann explained to the Budget Committee that the legislature voted last year to make raises of steps permanent for teachers, but does that law also make all public employees on a step and track contract have permanent raises? This means without a vote to give a contract the property taxpayers will pay the raises no matter if they vote No on a contract for teachers.


If so, I believe this is a violation of Article 28-a in the NH Constitution which states no new mandates without furnishing the money.


This will cost thousands to the towns and millions to a city like Manchester, Dover, Laconia, Portsmouth, Nashua and maybe even the State and county.


What other hidden costs have this Democratic Governor and legislature passed to the property taxpayer in New Hampshire???

Coe-Brown Announces The Winners Of The School Wide Contest For Poetry
Out Loud: National Recitation Contest.


For Poetry Out Loud Coe-Brown student winners are senior Christian Leavitt, School Champion, and junior Jessica Goudreault, runner-up.  Finalists also competing included senior Michael Dodge, sophomore Samantha Lepicier and freshman Henry Warburton. The school-wide finals were held on January 20, 2010, at 7 p.m.  in an evening framed by two student-directed one act plays.


The competition, presented in partnership with the N.H. State Council for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Poetry Foundation, is part of a national program that encourages high school students to learn about great poetry through memorization, performance, and competition. These finalists in the school competition were chosen from among classroom champions during late December and early January, in participating English classes and the Public Speaking class.


Poetry Out Loud is a national arts education program that encourages the study of great poetry by offering educational materials and a dynamic recitation competition to high schools across the country. Poetry Out Loud uses a pyramid structure. Beginning at the classroom level, winners advance to a school-wide competition, then to regional and state competition, and ultimately to the National Finals in Washington, DC. Nearly 300,000 students across the country took part in Poetry Out Loud in 2008-2009.


At Coe-Brown, students recited works they selected from an anthology of more than 600 classic and contemporary poems. Judges evaluated student performances on criteria including articulation, evidence of understanding, level of difficulty, and accuracy. Teachers introduced poetry recitation in the classroom using materials created by the NEA and the Poetry Foundation, including a standards-based teacher’s guide, a website, a ‘best performances’ DVD, and a CD featuring poetry recitations by well-known actors and writers such as Anthony Hopkins and Rita Dove.


Christian Leavitt will advance to the western N.H. regional contest on March 12, 2010, at New England College, Great Room, Simon Center, at 7 p.m. 


The winner of the regional finals advances to the state final at Keene State College, Alumni Recital Hall, Redfern Art Center, March 20, 2010, at 1 p.m. Each champion at the state level will receive $200 and an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, DC, to compete for the national championship, April 26-27, 2010. The school of the state champion will receive $500 for the purchase of poetry books.

Jesus Isn’t Coming!
By Pastor Ted White


Okay, okay, so where is the sign of His coming? Everything is continuing on as it always has. Those who truly believe in Jesus’ coming back to this planet are really out to lunch! This is just a fairy tale. What intelligent person would really believe this?


But, in II Peter 3:3 we read that “…scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.” Make no bones about it; those who mock are doing so in order to follow their own desires which are evil. They “deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the Day of Judgment and destruction of ungodly men” (II Peter 3:5-7). People can believe that Jesus isn’t coming, but by doing so they prove that their own actions are evil. Truth is truth regardless if people want to believe it or not.


So why hasn’t Jesus come back yet? It is clear in this passage that He is being patient because He doesn’t want people to perish in Hell, but to trust Him for eternal life (II Peter 3:8-9). But, there is coming a time when the globe will really heat up. It won’t be man made, it will be God made (II Peter 3:10)! But, scoffers will continue to scoff. This is really no surprise. But better to yield to what God says than to the mocking of men.


God’s word is very clear, wickedness by design seeks to suppress the truth (Romans 1:18). Of course, when people do not want the truth to be heard they seek to put it down by their ungodly arguments. People can mock the truth all they want. That is their choice. Fortunately, so far, people with differences, even those not popular with society as a whole, can express them in this country. I am grateful for that. There are many people I disagree with. I have the opportunity to express that in this country…so far. But there are those who seek to suppress those who don’t think like they do. When that happens in a country a brainwashing takes place. People turn into drones spouting the required belief system. Well, I will trust the Word of God over every opinion of man. Jesus is coming back one day and it will catch the majority of people off-guard (II Peter 3:1). Don’t be one of those people caught off-guard when He comes or if you die before He comes. You will appear before Him one day whether you believe it or not.


Want to trust Jesus? He loves you more than any other possibly could. Go to www.newhopenorthwood.com or call 942-7729 to find peace with God http://www.billygraham.org/SH_StepsToPeace.asp or http://www.simplysharejesus.com/

 


 

Lion Dana Quinn Honored

Left to right: Chris Quinn and Bill Lounsbury.

 

On January 12, 2010, Saddleback Mountain Lions Club proudly honored the memory of Dana Quinn with a Melvin Jones Fellowship.


Lion President, Bill Lounsbury who presented the award remarked that Dana was a hard working, dedicated Lion always ready to help with any project and have fun doing it. When Dana died, the family requested that memorial donations be sent to Saddleback Mountain Lions Club to be utilized in some way that would benefit the community. At that time, the club had submitted a grant application to the State of New Hampshire to construct a “handicapped accessible trail” in Northwood Meadows State Park. The memorial donations that we received totaled $1,000 which gave us the “seed money,” so to speak, to start the project. These monies were eventually returned to us through the grant process and sent to Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) in Dana Quinn’s memory to be utilized for humanitarian purposes worldwide. Most recently, LCIF sent $350,000 to Lions in Haiti to provide emergency relief.


Thank you Dana Quinn for your humanitarian efforts as a Lion. Accepting the fellowship for his father was Christopher Quinn.
