Introducing Super Duper Cooper – Forget the Mini Cooper – This Cooper is the max edition. He comes fully loaded: supersized personality, high-performance energy, and a heart that goes from 0 to 100 beats – just for you. Cooper is an energetic, intelligent Shepherd crossbreed pup who thrives on love, laughter, and a good puzzle toy. Still in his teenage phase (so yes, socks may be stolen), he’s the kind of dog who’ll chase a ball like it owes him money—then lovingly nudge it under the couch so you can fetch it. He’s a bundle of fun for the whole family but would be best suited to a home with teens—tiny humans might find him a bit too “vroom-vroom.” If you're after a four-legged bestie with drive, personality, and undeniable style, Super Duper Cooper—the Max, not Mini, edition—is parked and ready for pickup. Get down to the SPCA on the corner of 1st Ave and First Road, Grassy Park to meet and apply for Cooper. You can also call the adoptions team on 0217004152 or email adoptions@spca-ct.co.za or visit their website capespca.co.za, click on Adoptions, Dogs & Puppies, look for Cooper’s profile and apply online.

Today, we're diving headfirst into the nitty-gritty of estate planning with our special guest, Kristen Luce, Partner at Coughlin and Gerhart, LLP, who knows this stuff like the back of her hand. Our episode kicks off with a casual banter that sets the tone for a relaxed yet informative discussion. Kristen shares her journey and passion for helping clients navigate the often murky waters of estate planning. Together we discuss how many people feel overwhelmed and hesitant to start their estate planning because, let's face it, nobody wants to think about their mortality. But Kristen reassures us that it's all about getting organized and taking proactive steps. We touch on the importance of having a good team in your corner—fee-only financial planners and attorneys who actually communicate and work together.Together, we unravel the mystery of why having a solid estate plan is essential, especially when life throws curveballs your way. We tackle the common misconceptions that make people hesitant to seek professional help and why you should throw your trust into the hands of someone who knows what they're doing (spoiler alert: it's not always the first Google result). Kristen explains how you should navigate the legal labyrinth of financial planning, ensuring you don't end up in a pickle when it counts the most.Takeaways:Ditch the Suits podcast is all about sharing financial insights that the industry prefers to keep hush-hush, helping listeners navigate their money matters like seasoned pros. The transition to Patreon is a game-changer, making past episodes accessible and ensuring you never miss out on new content, so hop on board! Estate planning isn't a one-size-fits-all process; it's crucial to work with an attorney who gets your unique situation and crafts a plan that truly reflects your wishes. Clients often struggle to get organized for estate planning, but with a solid questionnaire and guidance, the process can be smoother and less daunting than you think! Understanding the legal side of financial planning is essential, especially during tough times, as it helps to ensure your family's stability and peace of mind in the future. Communication is key in estate planning; a good attorney listens to what's important to you and explains things in plain English, avoiding the dreaded legalese. ________________________________________Ms. Luce joined Coughlin & Gerhart, LLP in 2007 and is a partner with the firm.

On today's program, The King's College in New York City shut its doors in 2023 under a mountain of debt—now, it's launching a ‘go-forward plan' in an effort to reopen. We'll have details. And, a ministry in the U-K is urging Christians to stop giving to orphanages…and instead give to organizations that focus on family-based care. But when it comes to effective orphan care, is that the best way forward? We reached out to U-S based ministries to get their take. Plus, a NC church is shutting its doors…and is leveraging an IRS mandate to donate its assets to more than 75 charities. But first…a group of pregnancy resource centers in New Jersey is asking the Supreme Court to consider its case in protecting donor information. First Choice Women's Resource Centers, has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider its case about the state asking it to disclose information about its donors. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth.
