Rodgers and Hammerstein’s OKLAHOMA! returns

Jenni Murphy-Scanlon from Riverlea Theatre and Arts Centre

Featuring perennial favourites like ‘Oh what a beautiful morning’, ‘I can’t say no’ and ‘People will say we’re in love’, Oklahoma! is well-loved for good reason. This production at Riverlea Theatre in Hamilton features a vibrant and talented young cast, trained by a stellar and experienced creative team, lead by Director Jane Barnett.

Jane wants to encourage those who know and love the music and story of Oklahoma! to share it with the next generation. “To encourage this, we are offering special family and grandparent packages at our matinee performances,” she said. All of the details are at iticket.co.nz.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: Do you use the district nursing service?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The health system has been accused of breaking the law amid sky-rocketing demand for community-based nurses in Waikato.

This comes as the supply of district nurses lags behind referral increases of more than 100%, leading to staff burn out and an “unprecedented” service failure.

Do you use the district nursing service? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
