Patrick McAuley from Bowes and Cocks
For many people, after marriage and having children the most stressful life changing moments are the buying and selling of properties. At no other point will someone have more invested both financially and emotionally in one single transaction. Part of the decision in the buying and selling of properties is in the selection of a well suited real estate agent to make the unpaved road of that sale a little less bumpy.
For Patrick McAuley of Bowes and Cocks, the relationship he creates between himself and his clients is priority Number One. Knowing that the decision he is assisting someone make can be life altering, Patrick takes every measure to ensure that he provides a professional, stress free, friendly, and honest approach in helping his clients buy or sell a property. When the dust finally settles and the deal is complete, the relationship he hopes to have created is one that without hesitation can be considered real.
Born and raised in Peterborough, and formerly a corporate sales representative in the area, Patrick knows the advantage of creating relationships in a city where word of mouth goes a long way. Previously trained in the corporate world in value selling, he understands that the client/sales rep relationship is one of the most important aspects in the buying and selling of all types of property. The training he received engraved a work ethic and attention to detail that he has used to give his clients the highest standard of service. His goal is to make sure his clients get exactly what they’re paying for.
As one of Bowes and Cocks newest agents, Patrick is happy to be a part of a team that promotes the exact same values that he lives by. The family values that surround this family run business which has been a part of our community since its first office opened in 1956 are what he believes separates it from the rest.
Bowes and Cocks is entering an exciting new phase with a remodeled building coming soon, including state of the art technology to assist its clients in the buying and selling of property. Knowing that technology is something you don’t want to fall behind in, Bowes and Cocks is excited to unveil what they will soon have to offer and know their clients will be excited too.
If you are thinking about entering the home owner market or are considering selling, Patrick invites you to contact him and ask all the questions you need. He knows that the first step is usually the biggest and he would be more than happy to assist you in making it!

Look At This Beautiful Snow Wave Picture Captured In Keene
/Polar vortexes and frost quakes and snow squalls we can do without. But at times, winter is stunningly beautiful with what it forms. Take, for example, this picture Joelle Weil captured from her bedroom door in Keene as the sun was rising of what Mother Nature created. We could ride this snow wave forever.

Peterborough Police Haved Launched An Online Reporting System
/
The Peterborough Lakefield Community Police Service has launched an online reporting system for the convenience of communty members. The online reporting system is accessible on their website homepage and is available 24/7, 365 days a year.
The system was developed to assist citizens in reporting minor occurrences where there are no identifiable suspect(s) and the damage or theft value is below $5,000. Completing the online report meets the same reporting requirements as speaking directly to a Police Officer.
An incident number will be generated and provided to the complainant, and the system also provides an opportunity for the individual reporting to later provide a supplemental report should further information come to light. If a suspect is later identified, a Police Officer will investigate as usual. This system is not to be used in emergency situations or when a crime is in progress.

Alex Brunton Is A Free Man: Is The System Broken?

Child pornographer Alex Brunton is a free man.
The 66-year-old former Peterborough hockey volunteer has been given a suspended sentence with time already served for a slew of child porn charges—including videos police found that Brunton had secretly filmed of naked teenage hockey boys in a Peterborough arena dressing room and shower.
Brunton, who had been in custody since last May for making, possessing and distributing child pornography, was released upon sentencing Tuesday (March 11th)—leaving court in Toronto a smiling man, and returning to his Peterborough home with his wife, who has chosen to stick by his side. He received three years probation.
"Hopefully Mr. Brunton can gradually start regaining the trust of his family—they're going to support him—and hopefully the trust of his community," defence lawyer Alison Mackay said outside the Old City Hall courthouse. (The trust of his community, huh?)
In addition to his three years probation, Brunton is ordered to stay away from places where children under 16 can reasonably be expected to be, unless accompanied by his wife or another adult designated by his wife. He is also prohibited from "knowingly placing himself in a position of trust" with children under 16 and prohibited from using the internet to contact or communicate with children.
Also, Brunton's name will be added to the Sex Offender Registry for life.
But the punishment doesn't seem to fit the crime here. What are your thoughts? Is the system broken? Is this enough? Weigh in below, on our Facebook page or tweet us.
