A Brilliant Message
I saw this billboard photo today and it seemed timely as it reminds me of a wonderful doctor who served the community of Hastings in so many ways. Dr John Kerr passed away today, 11 September 2015, three years ago. He always made time for people and contributed with kindness on so many levels in our town. He along with his wife Alison and family were marvellous hosts to all who visted their property. They served as volunteers overseas. He and Dr. Peter Stormer were awesome doctors at Stortford before they both went on to study and use their skills in other areas of medicine. Along with his lovely kind eyes and his sincere care, I loved the way he would listen to people. Missing my friend and role model.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
