At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - ‘knocking off’ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause — raising money and awareness for Alzheimer’s in honor of his late wife Mary.

Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.

The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.

Watch Russell's full story.

When HMS Miranda arrived off the coast of Pūkorokoro on the shores of the Firth of Thames in 1863, she brought the Waikato War with her.

On the 160th anniversary of the invasion on the western side of the Firth, commemorations were held at the site where Ngāti Pāoa members fought to defend their homeland from invading British marines, triggering a crossfire that resulted in violent shelling by the warship, forcing those of the north Waikato kāinga to flee.

Things have changed a lot in my life: I realised I was the problem and I stopped blaming others.
Living in addiction, I used to see things as very black and white. I had set opinions about things and about who was right and who was wrong. Back when I was trying to fix myself and doing a lot of personal growth courses, I spoke with my husband and asked him, what my defects of character were. He said, “You think you are always right.”

EarthDiverse invites you to attend Hamilton’s first ever ethnic folktales puppet show brought to you by Ifat Vayner and the Hands on Heritage project, to be held on Sunday 12 November 2023 at 2:00pm at the Gallagher Performing Arts Centre at Waikato University.

This free event is the culmination of a year long project to capture ethnic heritage knowledge in such a way that the particular community has the resources and techniques to pass along the knowledge to the next generation, as well as the ability to share their cultural knowledge with the wider community.

This project, directed by professional puppeteer Ifat Vayner, is part of the Whiria Te Tangata programme, and is supported by Creative Waikato, EarthDiverse and The Ministry of Culture and Heritage. Please come along and celebrate the stories and artistic achievements of Hamilton’s cultural communities.

The event is free, family friendly, and fun (and there’s food!) and all are invited to attend. Please feel free to pass this information on to others in your networks. To reserve tickets: please go on line at Humanitix (link below) to book free tickets – seats are limited, so don’t miss out!
