Cost of dental care leaves young Mum considering having her teeth removed.

Editor Reporter from The Post

The 28-year-old mum to a four-month old is so desperate she is seriously considering pulling the rest of her healthy teeth from her upper mouth to be outfitted with dentures. That option is much cheaper than getting root canal surgery.

GRACE LANDS HERETAUNGA & TRENTHAM

Heretaunga where sports stars are renowned
World class institute where talent is found.
From rugby to cricket, the athletes train
Pushing themselves to achieve the highest gain.

Trentham, famous for its racing ground
Where horses gallop with speed unbound.
A movie production complex adds to the fame
Creating masterpieces with talent and game.
Military encampment with soldiers in line
Protecting the country with courage and shine.
Trentham Park is a great green memorial
Activities for people and dogs that is memorable.
Growing commercial importance with businesses around
Making progress with developments profound.

And when the day is done and the sun settles low
Heretaunga and Trentham are both stealing the show.

So instead of using the oustandingTrentham Memorial Park for the Upper Hutt children's cross country champs, Harcourt Park was utilised today(Sunday).

On a wet day after many wet days. Harcourt Park couldn't cope with the challenge and
parts of it became a quagmire through vehicles which were allowed to sink into hitherto lovely grassed areas and the pounding feet of hundreds of competitors and spectators.

Pity the contractors who will have to clean up the mess and somehow eventually get Harcourt Park back to its best.
It may take months.
