I received a call this morning from someone sounded Asian who claims that our family won $5000.00 from John Keys awards
This guy said that this fund is for the chosen few, and I started questioning him on how he got our phone number, he kept telling me only a few people are getting this money because John Key has resigned. He wanted some details off me but I refused. When I asked to leave the number so I can call to verify this he paused and cut our conversation. He called on my land line and I can't get his number.
Please inform our families and especially the vulnerable ones not to get into this. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and may the Lord of All, bless you and your families.

Trump, World War 3 and Upper Hutt

Nostradamus, the fantastic 15th century prophet, seemingly predicted that Obama would be the last (bone fide)) President of the USA and that Trump will be the cause for World War 3.

Nostradamus, the fantastic 15th century prophet, seemingly predicted that Obama would be the last (bone fide)) President of the USA and that Trump will be the cause for World War 3.

It is unfolding day by day. as Trump, though still the President-elect, selects his horror cabinet and top advisers and makes his crass utterances and alliances.

A World War would impact heavily on Upper Hutt with the NZ defence force and army headquarters being sited in Trentham and Heretaunga. Nuclear overtones would also be a major threat.

We need to ensure that the NZ Government faces up to a Trump-led USA fairly and squarely. Bill English will be up to many hard decisions.

The new children's ( and others) playground at Trentham Memorial Park has now opened and surprise, surprise: it is more adventurous than most other playgrounds constructed in NZ over the past 30 years.

It is bigger, brighter, with much more activity items catering for the very young to teenagers and swingling adults The "play" area even extends into the bush with an obstacle course.

Thankyou UHCC.

Does it rival the new playground at Avalon Park in nearby Lower Hutt.?

All we need now is a playground constructed for dogs.
