Northwood Budget


The town of Northwood is proposing a budget which is 2.4%+ over last year’s! What does that mean to the taxpayers of our town? In real dollars we are looking at about 10% when you take into account the rising fuel and food costs as well as the average property depreciation of 25%+ without any reevaluation to reflect current property values. Why are many of our communities cutting budgets and Northwood isn’t? What are we missing or what are they missing? No growth, no property resale value, no additional services! What then? I’d like to know why my taxes went up last year and why they are going up for the next 2 years! I encourage everyone to attend the Annual School Meeting on March 7th (9am) and the Annual Town Meeting on March 14th (9am) and VOTE NO ON THE PROPOSED BUDGETS! Let’s cut them by 10% or roll back to the 2007 budgets! Town elections are on the 10th of March and would encourage all to VOTE! It’s your money!

Letter to the Editor
Northwood Budgets


The School Board, the Board of Selectman and the Budget Committee have completed their work on the school and town budgets. It is now your turn, to have your say. Regardless of where you sit on the fence, your participation is very important. Please plan on attending the March 7th school meeting and the March 14th town meeting.


The proposed school budget, recommended by the budget committee, is $11,819,962. This amount represents a 2.4% increase over last year and a $16.10 estimated tax rate. The warrant articles total $166,072. The proposed 2009-2010 budget is expected to be approximately 4.1 % over this year’s anticipated expended amount.


The proposed town budget, recommended by the budget committee, is  $3,061,516. This amount represents a 2.3% increase over last year. The warrant articles total $738,597. It is important to note this is the total amount of all warrants articles. Some of the funds to support these articles will come from funding sources other than taxation. The proposed 2009 budget represents a 11.3% increase over the 2008 expended amount, not including warrant articles. Thank-you.

Pastor's Corner: The Joy of Knowing Jesus

By Pastor Ted White
There is joy in knowing Jesus! To know Him is to understand, according to the Word of God, who God is. He has revealed Himself in His Word, in His Creation, in our conscience and in His Son. It is so wonderful to know Him and to know that He loves me. That is what I put my trust in. If people disagree with me, that is their choice and it does not affect who I am in the Lord Jesus. I do not put my trust in any man who would go contrary to the Word of God. God’s Word, the Bible, is His Authority.


Originally, man was made in the image of God. Yet today, man would make gods in their own image. Some would like a “Domesticated Genie” god—if a person behaves a certain way and rubs the lamp, then the genie god is obligated to answer. You know what? He is not obligated to answer to the whims of man, but man is to obey Him out of love because of an understanding of what He has done for us through His Son, Jesus.


Others think of a “Distant Ogre” god - just waiting to squash a person who gets out of line or of bringing hardship into a person’s life just for the fun of it. This is a misunderstanding of God who is love, God who expects obedience and God who we will answer to. He is always looking out for our best interest, but will judge all that do not want Him as King over their lives.


Then there is the “Spiritual Psychotherapist” god of people’s making - just wanting people to feel better about themselves. This god is only an encourager and would never say or do anything that would hurt one’s feelings. But the God who is revealed in the Bible rebukes people, shows them where they are in error. Then He shows how to correct the error.


There is also the “Kindly Old Grandpa Santa Claus” god - he doesn’t hold us responsible for our actions and tends to overlook our sins. He gives us what we think we need and cannot deny us. First of all, this is a very low view of who God is and what His Son, Jesus, did at the cross. Jesus came and suffered for our sins and we will be judged by God depending on whether or not we trust the finished work of Jesus on that cross, living according to His Word. Now, no person is perfect in this, but there is a desire to live for Him and a seeking to do so.


Matthew chapter 7 is a challenging chapter to read. It speaks about those who claim to be following Jesus and yet Jesus said that He never knew them - even though these professors were involved in many things that man would think of as great. There is only one way to be joyful in Jesus. As the song says “Trust and obey for there’s no other way. To be happy in Jesus is to trust and obey.” May you know that joy of knowing the true God through Jesus Christ the Lord!


God wants you to enjoy the life He has given you and to escape the consequence of death, which is separation from Him forever, under His wrath in Hell. To do so go to www.newhopenorthwood.com or call 942-7729. 

 

Thank You

 



The Northwood Food Pantry volunteers would like to thank recent donors including the Northwood Crank Pullers Snowmobile Club for their generous contribution and the children of the Northwood Center School for their delivery of food collected by the students. The Food Pantry was also the recipient of a donation in memory of Edith Tasker. 


Formed in the early 1980’s the pantry has been able to provide emergency food supplies to people in need for over 25 years due to the generous support of many individuals and organizations throughout Northwood. It has been the hope of NEFP volunteers that no child or adult in the community would be without needed food or basic health supplies.  To request help from the pantry, please contact Food Pantry Coordinator Pat Jacobsmeyer at 942-8912.  There are no set hours that the pantry is open; food is supplied on an as needed basis.  If you would like to support the efforts of the Northwood Food Pantry in any way, please call Mrs. Jacobsmeyer for more information.

Cast members rehearse a scene from the CBNA production of Once on This Island.
