🐕Missing elderly dog🐕

Rose from Greenmeadows

***ELDERLY & TIMID***
MISSING - DOG - (PAKOWHAI, HASTINGS) HAWKES BAY
17.11.22- Posting on behalf of owner. Maggie is still missing as of 9.30am Thursday, 17th November. Maggie is 12 years old and is lost. She is a wire haired, white and tan, Jack Russell and was wearing a collar. She was scared off at the Pakowhai Dog Park on Wednesday 16 November at 11:30 am. Maggie took off and there were several possible sightings of her mentioned on fb seen in and around the Whakatu Industrial Park area (especially on Johnson Way) around 1:30 pm (This area is where the old Whakatu Freezing Works once was.) This area is east / Havelock side of the dog park.
Maggies owner Chris, is an older lady and is naturally very worried. Chris has had Maggie for 12 years. She is not on Facebook and doesnt use social media. She really doesnt know what to do. 💕 So if you are able to help please by sharing this post on ANY PAGE that would be appreciated. And post on your fb page as there are many many businesses in the Whakatu Industrial Park with lots of employees who could keep an eye out. Maggie could be in Clive, Hastings or hiding out in the Whakatu area still or even around the dog park. She will be timid and afraid as she has never left her owners side until today. Is anybody is willing to please assist her owner Chris by making up a flyer asap and printing copies that she and others willing could be delivered all around the Whakatu area and dog park? If so please PM me.
Thank you for any help, sharing this post and offering advice.
Please phone Chris
0274389679 if you see her as she is timid and unlikely to come or message www.facebook.com...

POTTING MIX QUALITY

Patricia from Taradale

If, like me, you are an experienced and avid gardener you know how frustrating it is when those beautiful seedlings recently purchased fail to thrive. Have you ever considered it may not be your fault, you've done all the right things but it may be the new bag of potting mix you bought to plant them in . Have you ever complained to the garden centre? My recent experience showed the blatantly obvious difference between brands. The recently purchased product was nothing more than raw compost, whereas the previous product was a good mix and made the plants thrive. I was the only one to complain, there could not possibly be a problem with the product as they sell pallet loads of it........ Your comments would be appreciated.

Secure your homes over summer

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are reminding people to keep their homes secure during the summer months.

Inspector Glenda Barnaby, Christchurch Area Prevention manager, says daytime burglaries are just as common as nightime burglaries.
“Burglaries can be committed at any time of the day, and coming into warmer months there is more opportunity for thieves."
"Although a majority of burglaries involve forced entry through windows and doors, we are starting to see more incidents at insecure premises. Police deal with cases where burglaries are committed in broad daylight, sometimes even while the victim is at home. Good weather means open doors and windows, which makes homes more vulnerable to burglars.”

Inspector Barnaby says there’s a few things people can do to reduce their changes of a burglary being committed.
⚠️ If you’re going outside for gardening, relaxing in the sun, or working in the garage, take a moment to lock your doors and secure your windows first.
⚠️ Do the same at night when you go to bed - keep your doors and windows secure and close your curtains. Fitting window stays means you can get a breeze coming through, while keeping your windows secure.
⚠️ Get to know your neighbours - let them know if you’re going away and look out for one another.”

If you see any suspicious activity, people or vehicles in your neighbourhood, don't hesitate to contact Police.
If you witness or suspect any illegal activity, please call 111 if it is happening now, or make a report through 105 either online or over the phone, if it is after the fact.
