Reminder for Life

Jeff from Saint Andrews

With the sun now showing more it might be time to think about where your life and desires are at. With more and more challenges in life have you considered what tomorrow brings? None of us know exactly what it will bring as the only guarantee in life is that eventually death will catch us up so are you prepared for that if it catches you out or will common law apply instead of a long delay into dividing evenly into all family associated with you. Today this probably won't be the desired intention as I know of lots of families that don't like each other or a change of partners where you don't want your ex-partner having a share or anything else which might be undesired happening on your passing. Everyday we get out in our cars, trucks, buses etc we all run the risk it may be our last or anything else that nature and the rest may throw our way it pays to be prepared so this makes your plans easy and what you would have desired.
Make sure you have a Will set up as this is the only way to make your desire sorted upon you passing as even young children unfortunately die by nature or accident and it can hit at any time thus be prepared regardless of how much or little you have acquired.

Hamilton's overburdened justice ecosystem

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It desperately needs to be bigger, but they are going to make it stronger instead.

There are not enough courtrooms to cater for the glut of cases at the Hamilton District Court, and according to the Ministry of Justice there won’t be any additional space in the foreseeable future.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

Wander more, worry less

The Team from Patrick Hogan Village

Few things in life are as enriching as the thrill of travel or the camaraderie among friends. At Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village in Auckland, a group of intrepid travellers have combined the two.

It all began when Bert Sutcliffe Village resident Marie began arranging evenings at the theatre for her neighbours. The theatre enthusiasts soon became close friends and as their friendships developed so did their adventures, expanding their horizons to include long lunches, winery tours, group dinners and adventurous holidays in New Zealand and overseas.
