In an announcement made on Saturday morning, Thomson said collaboration with other councils to deliver rubbish and recycling services might work for Hamilton - and it would at least be worth investigating to see if it would be cheaper than the current model.

At a time when we so often hear about species disappearing, the return of this little shark is a reminder that nature can surprise us ... and that there’s always reason to hope.

We hope this brings a smile!

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.
