The Taranaki women’s open triples bowls final will be an all-Paritutu affair. Experienced, nationally-renown performers Cathy Andrews and Heather Johns both successfully skipped their teams into the final of the Abraham’s-sponsored event at West End on Sunday. The delayed final will occur on March 13 at the same location. Andrews has the same team that won the champion-of-champions title in October – Bridget Fletcher and Barbara Batley. They were 22-15 victors over Lepperton’s Briar Atkinson, Tina Quilter and skip Tina Atkinson-Watt in one semifinal. Johns won the triples two seasons ago. Her team this time comprises Marie Mummery and Marlene Barrowman. They sneaked through a tense semifinal 15-14 over West End’s Colleen Martin, Molly Nagle and Jan Johnson, but only after an extra end. The men’s open triples, sponsored by Clegg’s Funeral Services, will also be finalised on March 13, after the 38 entries were reduced to four at Hawera Park over the weekend.

It Happens Here: Norwell’s Hornstra Farms Gets Big Boost In Milk Delivery To Homes
NORWELL (CBS) – An old-fashioned service in Norwell has exploded in popularity during the pandemic. Hornstra Farms, founded in 1915, is still doing door-to-door milk delivery in glass bottles. “Here’s the thing about glass,” said owner John Hornstra, who took over the longtime family business in 1985. “It has no flavor, it has no odor, and it’s impervious.” READ MORE: 39,725 Minutes!

(WBZ-TV) And Hornstra takes pride in raising the cows themselves, milking them, and then bottling it and delivering it themselves. Every step of the process is controlled by Hornstra. “A lot of companies look at ‘How many can we make?’ and mass production, and that’s not me. I will never sacrifice quality for price,” Hornstra told WBZ-TV. And that quality has become legendary on the South Shore. “We have a really unique way of pasteurizing the milk. We pasteurize … [Read more...] about It Happens Here: Norwell’s Hornstra Farms Gets Big Boost In Milk Delivery To Homes
39,725 Minutes! Painfully Long Waits On Vaccine Website As Thousands Of New Appointments Are Filled
BOSTON (CBS) – Fifty thousand new appointments for the state’s mass COVID-19 vaccination sites went online Thursday morning and were quickly taken as thousands of people faced extremely long waits on the website. Gov. Charlie Baker said tech experts worked all week to make sure the website was ready for the surge of traffic when the appointments went live at 8 a.m. Some reported it crashed for them about an hour later. The governor hoped a new digital waiting room would improve the experience, but it was infuriating for many. Several people were told they will have to wait for days to get out of the waiting room. Denise Witherell emailed WBZ-TV with a screen shot of her waiting time – 39,725 minutes. That’s more than 27 days. (Photo credit: Denise Witherell) But some people were able to make appointments. WBZ-TV’s Liam Martin said it took “a lot of patience” but he was eventually able to get through and book something. “It appears the state is adding slots … [Read more...] about 39,725 Minutes!

Tiger Woods has a long, uncertain road ahead after car crash, emergency doctor says
Los Angeles (CNN) Even after his emergency surgery, the path to recovery is long and uncertain for golf legend Tiger Woods , following his car accident in California. "He is still in that acute phase where they may still have a lot of work to do in the present, in moments, in days to come," Dr. Jeremy Faust, emergency physician Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, told CNN on Wednesday. "It's unclear to me whether he will be going back to the operating room or not." The 45-year-old was driving Tuesday in Rancho Palos Verdes, near Los Angeles, shortly after 7 a.m. PT when his SUV crossed a median and veered across two lanes of road before hitting a curb, hitting a tree and landing on its side in the brush, Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Tuesday. What exactly are Tiger Woods' injuries? And what might they mean for his future? Woods sustained injuries to his leg that required a rod, screws, pins and a surgical release of the … [Read more...] about Tiger Woods has a long, uncertain road ahead after car crash, emergency doctor says
India vs England, 3rd Test: Ashwin, Axar Patel show powers hosts 10-wicket win, 2-1 series lead
In the end, English skipper Joe Root winning the toss and batting first meant nothing as the visitors were completely outplayed in the game. Chasing 49 for a win, India raced home with 10 wickets in the bag as Rohit Sharma (25) and Shubman Gill (15) finished the proceedings quickly. Rohit finished it off in style by sending Root into the mid-wicket stands. The win has taken India one step closer to the final of the World Test Championship. But the star of the show was hometown boy Axar as he finished with 11 wickets in the game (six in the first innings and five in the second). Senior partner Ashwin wasn't to be left too far behind as he picked four wickets to finish with 7 in the game. Interestingly, the off-spinner also became the second-fastest to 400 Test wickets during England's second innings when he trapped Jofra Archer plumb in front. Root and Jack Leach's domination in the opening session on the second day was indication enough that the English batsmen would have their … [Read more...] about India vs England, 3rd Test: Ashwin, Axar Patel show powers hosts 10-wicket win, 2-1 series lead
