Coe-Brown Northwood Academy proudly announces the local winners of the Voice of Democracy Essay Contest sponsored by the VFW.  Forty-six CBNA sophomores participated in the contest with the assistance of their English teacher Mrs. Kathy Biery.  The winners,  Daphne Jordan, first; Kristina Seavey, second; and Chloe Bettencourt, third were selected by members of the Northwood VFW Post and were presented with certificates and checks by VFW Post 7217 Commander Ms. Shannan Brown and Post Adjutant Mr. Dan Barnhart at a recent school assembly.  Since 1947, the Voice of Democracy Program has been the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) premier scholarship program. The contest is open to students in grades 9-12, who are enrolled in a public, private or parochial high school or home study program in the United States and its territories. . Each year, more than 50,000 high school students compete for more than $2.3 million in scholarships and incentives. This year’s theme is “Why I am Optimistic about Our Nation’s Future?” To enter the contest students were required to record a reading of their essays to a CD. Entries are three to five minutes and are judged according to originality, content and vocal delivery. Paper copies of the essays are also submitted. Entries begin at the post level. Winning students then have the opportunity to compete on the district, state and national levels. Congratulations to these talented students.

 


 

Letter To The Editor

“If you like your tax rate”

 

Although all polls showed that most Americans were satisfied with their health care, the President asked everyone to have sympathy for those who couldn’t afford health insurance. Additionally, he famously and repeatedly promised that if we liked our insurance we could keep it, if we liked our doctor we could keep our doctor, and our insurance costs would go down $2500 as well. Period.

 

What could be better?  We could show compassion for the less fortunate without any change in our own happy situation, and save money to boot. Who could oppose such a plan? Thus was Obamacare passed, though, sadly for millions, these promises turned out to be not quite accurate.

 

Now in New Hampshire it is town meeting season, and we will be asked over and over to authorize expenditures from surpluses. Don’t worry, we are told, in writing, below each such warrant article, “There is no tax impact if this article passes.”  So why shouldn’t we vote to authorize money for all those worthy Capital Reserve Funds?  They’re such good causes, and they won’t cost us anything, right?

 

Well, not exactly. It seems that if we voted no, and all that surplus money were returned to the taxpayers, it would indeed have a tax impact - it would lower our taxes. For example, the “no impact” tax money asked for in the Northwood school warrant alone totals $121,000.  The problem for government is, of course, that if the warrant article said “May cost you more in taxes” we might be less likely to vote for it.

 

So we might want to consider voting against items that promise “no tax impact.” The money we save in taxes could help pay for those health insurance increases.
