BONEFACE FACES THE FUTURE

Michael from Trentham

Flagship craft beer brewers and restaurant in Upper Hutt's Brewtown, Boneface has not gone under and closed "shop". The hospitality enterprise has been taken over by an experienced craft beer brewer ( think Panhead) and Upper Hutt identity.

Flagship craft beer brewers and restaurant in Upper Hutt's Brewtown, Boneface has not gone under and closed "shop". The hospitality enterprise has been taken over by an experienced craft beer brewer ( think Panhead) and Upper Hutt identity.

Hopefully (hopfully) the new management will produce a wider array of beer and cider and something new regularly. This is what has been missing.

If Boneface reverted back to its sumptous food platters that would be good too.

BEWARE: Scammers impersonating Police taking advantage of vulnerable, older people

The Team from New Zealand Police

Police are aware of reports emerging overnight where people have received a phone call from someone claiming to be a Police officer.

The officer will claim to be from a particular department, tell you that you have been a victim of fraud or scam, and begin to try and obtain further financial information from you.

People have been directed to go to the bank and withdraw money for evidence of the scam.
This is a scam – no legitimate Police officer will ever ask you to hand over money for any reason.

Overnight we have had five instances of this being reported, people need to be vigilant.
Enquiries into reports of scams of a similar nature received last week remain ongoing.

We appreciate these scammers are convincing, but New Zealand Police will never contact you and ask you to withdraw money. New Zealand Police will also never contact people seeking their banking details, card numbers, PIN or passwords.

Older members of our community are being targeted and Police urge anyone with elderly or vulnerable relatives to make them aware this activity is a scam.

There are instances where legitimate Police officers will contact you as part of their duties.

Remember:
• Police will never ask for details about your bank cards, PIN or passwords over the phone.
• Trust your instincts.
• If something doesn't feel right, or is too good to be true, it probably is.
• If you are uncertain, ask for the officer’s details.
• Hang up, contact 105 and request the officer to contact you.
• Police aren’t in the business of offering prize money.

If you are in the unfortunate position of being a victim of a scam, please report the matter to Police.

Take the chance to upskill yourself on scam awareness, check for further information on the Netsafe website: netsafe.org.nz...

SKATEBOARDING ERROR RIDDEN

The one sport among all that constitutes the 2024 Paris Olympics that sticks out like a sore thumb, is skateboarding.

The one sport among all that constitutes the 2024 Paris Olympics that sticks out like a sore thumb, is skateboarding.
Not only is it one-off being new to the Olympic Games but it is the only sport that is so error ridden that excellence and exactness is like trying to squeeze juice out of an unripe lemon.
Does skateboarding belong at the Olympics?
Probably not in its current format.

While on the Olympics, the NZ men's rugby sevens were overrated by NZ media associates with predictions of them winning the gold medal.. They were not rated in the top three or four at Paris. The problem lies not only with the head coach but that not one member of the 2024 squad would make the All Blacks 15 a side 23. If the sevens 12 lineup for Paris had what you could term fringe ABs15 a side such as Love, Lakai, Sotutu and Moorby for instance, they would have won gold two days ago.
