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.

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.
