Two new galleries will allow the centre to host international exhibitions and will provide more opportunities for out of classroom learning experiences for school pupils.
Trump wants to buy Greenland the largest island in the world but a much smaller trio of islands could be up for grabs in an equally remote part of the world.

NZ is not only mineral rich, but it is oil and coal rich just what Trump is all about. And land is cheap here especially in and around Auckland.
As well we have in Trump's mind similar looking population stats: 50,000 (Gld) and 5,000,000 (NZ).
The Greenlanders are not much at enthusiastically greeting their owners or potential owner/s but a full Maori group of hundreds with waka and haka would look and sound a lot more impressive than cold handshakes from a huddled group lasting all of 35 seconds.
There could be a Trump Tower in every city in NZ. I'd pitch for one in Silverstream overlooking the Hutt River.
NZ would be a bargain for Trump and the USA as NZ seems to be folding into a recession not only because of the Ardern Government economic and social bunglings but because Trump has been the major architect of a world wide economic and power playing disorder.
Gee, taking over NZ, Trump could look at building the greatest wall in the history of mankind and dinosaurs right in the middle of the Tasman Sea and stop Australia from sending Kiwi crims back to NZ.

Gibbons Street has some rough areas after the wastewater renewal project. We've scheduled road surfacing repairs for this summer because the warmer, drier conditions are better for asphalt performance.
More than two years after it was supposed to open, a dispute over rising costs means Lower Hutt's n…

Unable to find any reference via the 'UH Library Recollections' site I sought the help from other 'history buffs'.
Thanks to Brian Pearce and Paul Lloyd-Jones, I am now able to share this photo.
Once on the corner of Fergusson Drive and Mangaroa Hill Road, it was demolished; (maybe) in the early 1970's, to link the motorway with Fergusson Drive.
Thanks to all those who commented to my earlier post to ease my search. The topic has been of much interest to many, so I attach a photo we think may have been taken around the 1950's.
Any other knowledge will be gratefully accepted.

TRACY: I have a favour to ask of you. Unable to PM you here.
Election time has arrived, and campaigning is getting started.
With your 'foot in the door' ... are you able to suggest to all prospective Councillors that they include Neighbourly members for their 'promos'?
Many of us are NOT members of 'Facebook', but we like to be included in matters of importance.
UHCC itself is a Neighbourly member, but will only use the site "in case of emergency".
Failing that ... are you able to tell us how we can preview why those standing want our vote?
Just maybe there will soon be a written 'handout' we can view and compare.
Much appreciated if you can help.
