Want to recognise your favourite local business?

Prospa

We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’.

I am sweet when it suits, I look adorable and my caregivers tell me I am, but if I have had enough fuss, or I see another cat, I have another side. I am looking for someone who can speak cat, who can read cat, and loves me for who I am. I hate other cats, and would probably make a dog's life unpleasant. I am looking for a home with older children, or just adults, who will love me for who I am.

Lola finds our rainbow lorikeet very interesting and has tried many times to make friends with him. She’s growing way too fast for my liking in the three weeks we’ve had her."

Comparing The Incomparable

Michael from Trentham

TVOne News tonight did itself a disservice by comparing Denmark favourably with NZ in relationship to the Covid response.

Denmark has six million people whilst NZ has five million and both countries are among the highest ranked in the OECD.

TVOne News tonight did itself a disservice by comparing Denmark favourably with NZ in relationship to the Covid response.

Denmark has six million people whilst NZ has five million and both countries are among the highest ranked in the OECD.

Demmark has just now cut the cord of restrictions that NZ holds onto.

But TVOne News failed to state that Denmark has lost almost 4000 people to Covid while NZ sits just above 50.
Only a few days ago, Denmark still recorded 18 deaths to Omicron in a single day. NZ's worse day for Omicron deaths so far is one or two.

Estate Party To Fake News

Stuff and no doubt the DomPost and Hutt News/Upper Leader to follow have or will publish a story on people hooning around in vehicles and the lack of police or council action to stop the commotion usually late at night.

Trouble is the implication of the story is that the Wallaceville Estate as one of the venues for the hooning and this developing residential housing area is at the centre of high ended noise levels and general mayhem which has residents of the estate too scared to confront the villians or take videos or photos to present to authorities.

In other word the Estate is getting bad raps.

But the truth of the matter is the spasmodic burn-outs etc are occurring on the non-residential streets on the East side of Alexander Road with Alexander Road itself open to speeding.

I spoke to Jamie Gillies on the matter and he said the reporter refused to listen to him when told that the Wallaceville Estate inner roads and streets were not the subject of these issues.
You cannot let the truth hinder a "good" story.

I emailed the UHCC about the burn-outs many months ago but am still waiting for a reply.
