“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” (Albert Einstein). In recognition of her contribution to Bonner County as a teacher, a principal, and a lifelong educator, the Women Honoring Women Committee honors Joan Francis McCormick with a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award.
What happens without a strong foundation? Our country was built on the strength and blood of many who knew that our Judea-Christian beliefs were based on honor and truth. Our Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence with the words “lives, fortunes and our sacred honor.”
My husband and I went over our 2022 Bonner County Assessor tax document. Our land and home were assessed at a total market value of $343,343. The home exemption was $125,000, (for 2023 is $150,000), making our net market value a total of $218,343. The amount of $218,343 is what our taxes are based on.
