‘The Maverick’ Russell loves a challenge

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.

Feilding Little Theatre back in show business after three years of uncertainty

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Feilding-Rangitīkei Herald

Hi neighbours,

Hi neighbours,

There is excitement that drama will soon be back on stage at Feilding Little Theatre instead of surrounding the building itself.

The curtain at the historic venue is set to rise for the first time since it was closed in March 2021 due to a structural fault.

With the building now getting a tick from the engineers, audiences will be welcomed back next week for one-man WWI monologue Stretcher Bearer.

Joan Ford, a member of the Little Theatre Players and the theatre’s building committee, spoke to us about the troupe's communal culture, and the involvement of families and school children through the years.

Do you have a treasured memory or favourite production at the little theatre from years gone by?

Hi neighbours,

The unexpected return of a Tui beer billboard on Rangitīkei Street has conjured some youthful memories in our newsroom.

It has also provided the opportunity to reflect on the "Yeah Right" phenomenon, and how much both the Tui brand and advertising have changed over the past decade.

Is there a Tui billboard that stands out in your memory, be it with fondness or disdain?
