Northwood Lake Water Quality Testing

Andrea Tomlinson, Water Quality Director for Northwood Lake, reports she has sampled sites around the entire lake on 6/20/08 and 7/22/08 and unlike the past, was sampling for pollution source indicators like E.coli ( a warm blooded intestinal bacteria directly related to the feces of mammals and birds) and Total Phosphorus, which is an indicator of pollution caused by extensive stormwater and runoff, erosion from lawns and lakeside lots and road salt. In the past two months she found both high E.coli counts in the Narrow Brook and in July, in the Flat Meadows Brook. The Town Beach has been very high in E.coli counts all summer and CLOSED most of July. This could explain that the high E.coli counts are due to the large flocks of ducks that live in the area of the beach.


The Northwood Lake Association is on a mission to educate and inform the residents of the lake in order to get them to reduce their negative impact on water quality. Extensive sampling is planned for September and October and hopefully November as well.


If anyone has a water quality concern or complaint, please contact Andrea at [email protected]. Also visit us at www.northwoodlake.com.

The Trials of Life!

By Pastor Ted White

Life is full of wonderful times, but then there are the trials of life. They come in many forms and various levels. Why do they happen? More to the point, why do they happen to me? We don’t have all the answers, but there are a few that we do know of. The answers do not take away the pain of a trial. They do help us to sort things out some and to try to make sense out of things that sometimes seem senseless to us. How does the loss of loved ones or personal property put things into perspective? There is only one way.


Many ask the question, “If God is a God of love, why does He allow evil to happen in the world?” First, maybe we should ask a different question. If God is a God of love, why does He let an evil human race to even exit?” See it is perspective. We think we are good people and good people should only have good things happen to them. Yet, we have missed the basic problem of the human race. It is a simple word. A word that people don’t much like to utter. The word is SIN. We are all sinners we are told in Romans chapter 3 and verse 23. This is the problem that most people do not want to acknowledge.


Not only has sin affected the human race, but also creation. In Romans 8:19-21 we are told that the creation actually groans while it waits to be liberated at the coming of our Lord Jesus. All this started in the Garden of Eden when the first man and woman decided they wouldn’t follow God’s Word. Only God’s Word makes sense out of what seems senseless. We are told in James 1:5 to ask God for wisdom when we are experiencing trials. Usually when trials come most people just blame God instead of seeking Him. But, He loves this sinful human race and wants people to trust Him and live for Him. It is your choice, but He does love you!


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

Letter

We have all read about the “do-nothing” Congress. We thought we voted in 2006 for CHANGE, but we can’t see it. Many of us wanted out of Iraq and we are still there. But under the surface of the polls there has been a lot going on. A look at the legislative record for  Carol Shea Porter will show you a whole different picture.


I will highlight just one issue, her work for veterans, including those who are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Carol is working  to make the Manchester VA a full-service hospital and has introduced and co-sponsored numerous other initiatives to improve health-care for vets. She introduced a bill for debt elimination for families of veterans killed in combat, so that the government does not try to collect debts from the families of those who lost their lives serving their country. She was an original co-sponsor of the new GI bill and supports legislation requiring sufficient home time between deployments, and this is only a small part of her efforts. Carol serves on the House Armed Services committee, on the front lines of working for our troops and our veterans to make sure their  sacrifices are rewarded with the care and respect they deserve.


While Jeb Bradley claims to have supported veterans, he consistently  voted with the administration against measures to fund improvements to veterans’ benefits.


Why can’t we make all the changes the new House of Representatives wanted? There is another part of Congress - the Senate. Here the Democrats have a very slim majority and the Republicans have been insisting on 60 votes for much legislation. Before media spin, this used to be called a filibuster.


What can we do? Let’s keep Carol working for us, and change our Senator!
