How are cities around the world leading the way in becoming more sustainable, and what lessons are there for Hamilton? What are the key actions Hamilton can take right now to respond to the challenge of climate change and become a more resilient city?

What’s always driven him is a thirst for discovery – of new music, but more eagerly of obscure music of the past. His love for one era in particular underpins the success of a unique locally made podcast with followers around the world.

Meliors Simms - The Holistic Tooth Fairy

Christina Campbell – Midwife adventurer
Hamiltonian of 23 years, a community midwife who has delivered over 1000 babies, was motivated to embark on this journey to ‘give back to the community’ when Community Midwifery is struggling to gain adequate support from Government resources. In my previous Tron-life I enjoyed extensive travelling, hiking, & participating in international expeditions such as the British ‘Operation Raleigh’, and ‘The Great Jukung Race’(2500km seafearing adventure in a primitive boat). This expedition was an opportunity to mix adventure with a purpose within an international community of Pilgrims.

The opposing team used disgusting tactics of shoulder barging, fist fighting and head butting. The game was stopped seconds from the end of the third quarter, a meeting on the court of all players and coaches and one of the offenders sent to the side-line…………………..but he was on the court again in the final quarter. The Ref refused to be part of the game in the fourth quarter due to being sworn at , lack of respect and questioning by the opposing team as to decisions made and the general unsportsmanlike behaviour. One of the side line spectators refereed the last quarter. The boys in the opposing team were big solid guys who used this advantage in an extremely questionable way. What does this unchallenged despicable behaviour display to younger ones coming on? Its acceptable to be a bully and a thug with no consequences? Why is this behaviour allowed/tolerated and not stamped out, by the coach? The offences were red cardable and very disturbing to watch. In my opinion the team should be stood down for a couple of games and the coach held accountable.
