Some rosary beads, an embroidered handkerchief, and a handwritten letter.
For many of us such things are ordinary bric-a-brac - the kind of items that clutter our drawers and fill old shoeboxes with the miscellanea of life. For Hamilton mayoral candidate Rachel Karalus, their value is immense.
Anyone wanting the experience of seeing a show at Hamilton’s new $80 million Waikato Regional Theatre should mark off Saturday, March 28 in their diaries now.
That’s when the Soweto Gospel Choir will perform in the soon-to-open facility.

Developers say the headcount — on site and across suppliers — underlines the project’s role as one of the CBD’s biggest employers right now, and a bellwether for the city’s confidence.

Former sevens flyer Leroy Carter will get his big chance against the Springboks in Wellington.
Carter, the Chiefs and Bay of Plenty left wing, is the notable selection at No 11 for the Rugby Championship test on Saturday which the All Blacks need to win to reclaim the Freedom Cup.
This is very late notice but is anyone going up for the march who live in Hamilton, who could fit in another person in their vehicle, aka, me?
I'd be happy of course to help pay for the petrol..
My ph no is 0275556214 should you want to contact me that way.
Many thanks

Research published this year has demonstrated that playing music helps keep dementia at bay - no matter how late in life the skill is picked up.
The basic idea behind this research is not new - we know that 'cognitive reserve' (learning new things) plays a big role in delaying mental slowdown. But the reminder that "it is never too late" is welcome ...
We hope this news brings a smile!
