Risks to your investment and the roof over your and your family’s head are something that you can manage. With estimates of up to an 8 percent increase in damages from extreme rainfall alone between now and 2040 and up to 25 percent by 2100 we need to act now.

These people are new to Northland and their "much loved" dog has disappeared. Please keep an eye out and if you know anything, please give them a call.

The day started early at 6.00am with a drive around the area in the hope that the quiet morning might entice him to walk a bit more alongside the roads. Dropped a few leaflets at the local supermarket, the weekend market as well. Thank you all for the kindness of your messages and sharing the posts. If we have forgotten to acknowledge you it is a mistake and we are sorry about it. Again we ask people, whanau in Kerikeri , Waipapa and the rest of the Far North district to SHARE , SHARE and hope that if he has travel a lot more afar than we thought and he has been picked up the kind driver will drop him at a vet's , the SPCA...
Skoota is a 10 YO Foxy X Jack Russell , mainly white with a brown spot on his back, has a red collar with names tag and telephone numbers, and a council tag from the South Island as we only recently moved up to Waipapa.
The first and only sighting was 72 hours ago on Kapiro Road Waipapa. Nothing since. He can be timid, certainly not aggressive, not interested in killing and eating sheep.
Also recently had a medical condition making him at times disoriented and unbalanced and for this needs care and regular visit to the vet's .
Again we ask people to share the info if possible as only with a wider community will we be able to locate him.
The country out there is huge and being so small it makes our task almost impossible on our own. Any sighting will help .
Please call 0212113462 if you can help.Thank you
To those who are interested and concerned over The three Waters issue, there is a petition running which you can sign, should you wish to do so. https:/www.taxpayers.org.nz>three_waters
Obviously the more the merrier if this is a concern for you.
A little while ago, a member of this group was expressing frustration with their experience in ED. I thought this new article about the state of things in the Hospital might be of interest to people: www.rnz.co.nz...

I naively thought we, like many other districts, would have a sinking lid policy, rather than allowing movements like this. Do we want this?

Meet Parminder Singh (Punjabi) who shares his journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi:
“Studying in the Pōkaitahi Reo programme has allowed me to develop a totally beautiful and unique relationship with Māori communities. The learning has helped my work to bridge gaps between Māori and others in our multicultural communities. When I look back, I feel really proud. It’s a great feeling when I speak te reo Māori. It’s a privilege.”

The purpose of the Animals Bylaw is to provide for the ownership of animals (excluding dogs) in a way that protects the public from nuisance and maintains and promotes public health and safety. Dogs are controlled under a separate Dog Management Bylaw, which will be reviewed in 2023.
A range options for the management of cats have been considered as part of this bylaw being reviewed. However, there is no national legislation that would give Council powers to regulate cats the way we regulate dogs. Non-bylaw approaches to cat management, such as funding and education, are discussed as part of the review.
You can find the full statement of proposal (20 pages) and a summary of the changes (6 pages), along with the tools to send your feedback, at this link:

Consultation on the Animals Bylaw runs from 3 November – 3 December 2021.

Are you ready for fireworks night?
Next week is the 5th of November and many animals around NZ will be struggling with the noise of fireworks 💥
If you know your cat or dog struggles with loud noises, we can set up a few things to help them!
💥 Set up an area they can retreat to that is (ideally) sound proof and comfortable ahead of time
💥 Ensure they are inside and safe. Many dogs and cats go missing this time of the year after running away from the noise….
💥 Close the curtains and play calming music to drown out the booms
💥 Try diverting their attention with food toys, play or positive reinforcement training
💥 Use pheromones (adaptil for dogs, feliway for cats) to help them feel calm and at home
💥Some animals will be helped by anxiety wraps (I’ll be sharing a DIY wrap later in the week).
If your animal really struggles though, now is the time to reach out to your veterinary team for some help, then get in contact with me to make a plan before the next big fireworks event!

During the 2020 lockdown, she gave away over 140kg in fruit from her home orchard. This year, she didn’t have fruit to swap but her vegetable garden was packed with winter crops. “I had masses of broccoli, cauliflower, kale, silverbeet and French sorrel. So I gave out a lot of parcels of those to anyone I knew who needed it.”
Dear neighbours,
Alexandria Te Ripeka "Pearl" Lindsay (Te Āti Awa o Taranaki) started gardening to grow her own food -- and now she's growing food for her community too.
There, they’re and their are the big trio of commonly confused words with all three of them pronounced the same.
- There means the opposite of here; “at that place.”
- They’re is a contraction of “they are” or “they were.”
- Their means “belongs to them.”
