“Both the paper and metal parts of the daffodil are made from recyclable materials,” McPherson said.The factories that make these daffodils are rated by sustainability programmes Sedex and EcoVadis, McPherson said.

“There will always be a gap between the depreciated value of the asset and what insurance will pay out on that and the cost of the replacement vehicle.”

“We are mindful that an affordable option gives us a better return on investment which is important as all of our funds raised go to providing our free support services for local people with cancer, to fund cancer research, cancer awareness and prevention programmes.”

The St John health shuttle from Ashburton had been travelling north when it apparently collided head-on with a ute and trailer, which may have been on the wrong side of the road between Burnham and Rolleston.

Stockdale was quick to praise the efforts of Ashburton’s health shuttle helpers.

In the interim while they waited on a new vehicle, the Aoraki St John shuttle team from Timaru were transporting Ashburton patients this week. A temporary replacement shuttle from Central Otago was also being sent to Ashburton.Stockdale conﬁrmed that much of the shuttle replacement cost would be covered by insurance, but it was likely some community funding would also be required.

Cancer Society of New Zealand Canterbury-West Coast brand and communications co-ordinator, Deb McPherson, said Daffodil Day is introducing a new lapel daffodil that is made of paper instead of plastic to be more sustainable.

“St John is providing support to the two health shuttle drivers, their families, and the wider Mid Canterbury shuttle team.’’ Stockdale said the drivers have expressed a “strong desire” to continue being St John volunteers.“They are both very eager to get back to serving their community.” He conﬁrmed that many’ of the shuttle clients had undergone surgery.“Our thoughts continue to be with them and their families.”

Mr Riach said resource consent was needed for the relocation as the memorial had heritage status in the District Plan.

The Boer War memorial was unveiled in 1903 to honour soldiers of the district that had died in the conflict. The red granite obelisk also commemorated the coronation of Edward VII.

It should be noted that the memorial has previously been relocated in 1978 within Baring Square from its original site.

Plans for the area were approved by Councillors recently and Chief Executive Hamish Riach said some of the square’s original features, like the whale bones, would stay, while new paths and native plantings would be added.

Of the six soldiers commemorated on the Baring Square East memorial, one was killed in action, one was accidentally killed by a horse, another died of injuries from a rail accident, two died of enteric fever and the last was killed while trying to escape from a prisoner of war camp.

The stable also has Campio nessa engaged in the race, with Courtney Barnes to ride.

Set to pick up where he left off

The build-up to Cup Week begins today with a handful of runners engaged on the syn thetic track at Riccarton, and Laking is in the saddle aboard two of them.

The mare is twice placed in a fresh state, so does race well on the fresh side and has won a trial on the synthetic track. She was good enough to run in the 1000 Guineas last season, finishing seventh behind The Perfect Pink, so her class should take her a long way today.

As well as the Te Akau pair, Laking also has rides today on leading prospect High land Fling in the second race on the programme for trainer Lance Robinson, and then he’s aboard Red Sunday for Paul Harris in the last race of the day.

After a standout time wearing the tangerine army colours last season, Mid Canterbury jockey Jason Laking will be hoping to pick up where he left off today at LakingRiccarton.produced some mag ic moments in the saddle last season, no more so than his Group One victory on Belle En Rouge in the New Zealand Oaks at Trentham earlier this year – and his significant con tribution to the South Island success of the powerhouse Te Akau establishment was ac cordingly acknowledged.

And in so many ways it’s a test for both horse and driver, as they look to demand the right to earn a place in the great race later in the season.

But a good hit-out, that doesn’t nec essarily result in a win, will be all that’s required for the first pass mark as they look to build condition and head down the pathway toward qualifying for the Cup.

Publications include “In Search of Ancient New Zea land”, and the TV series “Coast New Zea land”, narrating the complex geological history of Zealandia’s land and seabed. The published 2017 ‘discovery’ of Zea landia had huge impact globally. It is now 95 per cent submerged: 5.1mill.sq. km in area, 0.5 billion years old, with New Zealand and New Caledonia the largest land area. It has a 20-35km crust, with diverse features, e.g., troughs (Hi kurangi Trough, Kermadec Trench), plate boundaries, plate collisions, younger grey wacke schist (Canterbury), volca noes, rift valleys. Continental geology is surrounded by oceanic crust. The Pacific Plate is the largest on Earth. The thin, dense Pacific plate moves down beneath the thicker, lighter Australian Plate, a process known as subduction. This happens north of Marlborough, and south of Milford Sound, and in between is the Alpine Fault. Bathymetry and Tec tonic (NIWA) maps show dramatic data of land and sea floor activity.

Jeff Withington spoke about contro versial early 1970s American actress, model, and peace activist, Jane Fonda, in his speech ‘Hanoi Jane.’ This is also the nickname often used to describe the actress after engaging in visits to North Vietnam. Jeff spoke about how she earned her nickname and some of the now historical adverse anti-war pub licity. The speech was very captivating judging by the audience reaction. David evaluated Jeff’s speech.

Inner Wheel was fortunate to have as their speaker recently Jackie Girvan, a very busy lady, who is involved in a rel atively new initiative to supply afforda ble, high-quality rental housing for older people in the Ashburton District. Haven Housing was established in 2018 to address a significant need in the community for high quality, affordable housing for older persons with modest means. Haven Housing currently owns and operates Cameron Villas, a 9-unit retirement complex located at the cor ner of Grigg and Elizabeth Streets in Ashburton. They have a dynamic board of Trustees with diverse backgrounds all of whom have fundamental aspects of the Trust’s mission. This Trust is ably ad ministered by Jackie.

The Culture Share Speech this evening was presented by Adi. His short speech was on the Jewish New Year observance known as Rosh Hashanah. Adi spoke in detail of the Jewish holiday including the significance of foods and what they each symbolise.

With speech contests on the horizon, Vice President Education, Adi organised a mock-up Table Topics session using contest conditions. The aim was to give speakers who had not participated in a table topics contest before, a chance to have a practice run. The five test con tenders were David, Jamie, Robert, Nicole and Mike. The Grammarian’s report on word of the day usage was discussed by Nicole. The challenge here to all, is to use the chosen word in any speech frequently and in context. The grammar ian also notes use of “ums” and “ahs” as well as filler words that may spoil good speaking. This helps everyone improve

The anxiety around public speaking usually brings out natural nervousness and this expresses itself as unconscious body movements or behaviours called mannerisms (the bad). They may spoil a good speech resulting in the audience being distracted by the impaired perfor mance (the ugly). Jamie introduced and evaluated Robert’s speech.

Pennants last Sunday had mixed results. Jeff and the scratch boys had two good wins and now head into the Holmes semi-finals. Robbie and the boys had a loss to a strong Timaru team but will fancy their chances in the Hayes Cup.

United’s win last week against Hampstead was a team effort. But you couldn’t understate Chelsea’s work around the court, in particular the circle. Her long-range shooting when dialled in is almost flawless and the natural understanding she has with her team mates makes her a very dangerous prospect for Celtic to deal with.

Sammy needs no introduction, but she definitely needs a mention. Another standout season on the court for her where she’s caused trouble for oppo sition teams from the first whistle to the last. If she can get the confidence flowing early, she’ll have a

Olivia McLennan (right) will be a vital player for Celtic tonight if they’re to win the Premier 1 Grand Final.

Kelsey Hart has had a huge season for United and will be looking for one more big performance tonight.

They move the ball initially with confidence which allows their free-flowing players Re becca Cochrane, Liv Hutchinson and Shannon Stockdale a bit of freedom to really narrow in on their available players, and quite often that sees space for shooters Liv McLennan and Hayley Mur phy to do their thing.

A key link in the Celtic side this year, Shannon has led the charge when it comes to the midcourt transition, and she’s done it oh so well. That quick ball from one end of the court looks easy for Celtic, and Shannon has been a huge factor in it. She’ll be busy, relentless and clever tonight and

The Premier 1 final is the pin nacle of club netball in this re gion, and after a long season it comes down to one game to crown this year’s champions.

Couple that with a determined midcourt and a strong defensive end spearheaded by the incom parable Sammy Holden, with the talented Kelsey Hart and it’s the makings of a title-winning side if they can stem the Celtic charge.

“You can’t afford to get too far ahead of yourself. But the girls are ready for this week, as ready as we can Hampsteadbe.” are a very good side, but Celtic are a level above again, and Newton said just be ing able to match it with them

How it’s all set to unfold tonight at the EA Networks Centre.

Allenton will look to cap a re markable year in their return to Premier netball when they tackle Ashburton College A in the Pre mier 2 final, while Hampstead B and Ashburton College 10A will kick the night off in the final of the Premier 3 division.

What’s happened up until now on the netball court means very little because tonight, it’s all about the big moments.

United haven’t won the Pre mier 1 title since 2007, so it’s been a long time in between drinks, but irrelevant of what happens tonight there’s plenty to be proud of from the campaign. They’ll be without Charlotte Samson this week, but welcome Hayley Tallentire back into the side as cover, but other than that it’s a full-strength line-up.

The players who can make all the difference

Catherine Kuyf and Chel sea Corbett have formed a very strong combination in the shoot ing circle, and that trust they’ve built is what Newton is hoping to see more of tonight.

Shannon Stockdale

“I thought Catherine had her best game for us of the season last week; her shooting was very good and her and Chelsea have just grown as a combination.”

all but useless on more than one occasion. Unit ed will need to pull something out of the hat to get the better of her tonight.

“We had a good training on Monday night and the girls walked away very happy with where we are at.

Sammy Holden

To say they haven’t been chal lenged might be a little tough on their rival teams, but it’s actual ly all been relatively easy in the end.But for coach Angela Leadley, tonight is about respect.

“It’s the midcourt where they are most damaging, their abili ty to move the ball so quickly is their strongest asset and we’ve got to try and shut that down somehow this week.”

MarkhamMatt

Putting it all on the line, one last time

While the Premier 1 final will take a lot of the attention tonight, it’s just a small part of what is a huge night for Mid Canterbury Netball.

United will have to stand tall to stem the flow if she gets her groove on.

“I think we saw it last week in their semi-final; Methven were with them for the first half but then they just accelerated away from them in the second.

Her delivery into the circle and spatial awareness alongside sup port from Maddie Walker and Samantha Collins has at times made it look easy.

Two very good sides, set to bat tle it out in the hunt for glory.

“They’ve come a long way together,” Newton said of the shooting combo.

“It’s now just about getting out there and doing the job. This week you don’t get to the end of 40 minutes and say well we can improve on that next week.”

So much has been said and written about their midcourt prowess, but the platform being set down by Gina Woodhouse and Anna Holland in the defen sive circle has been a huge cata lyst for that.

But getting back to ground zero this week has been the main focus.“We got together on Monday night, but it was straight back into work and starting afresh.

Celtic, the only unbeaten side across all competitions this sea son, are the deserved favourites.

“It’s nil-all as far as we’re con cerned.“I’vetold the girls they’ve got to treat this week different and give it the respect it deserves. I’ve seen many good sides dominate throughout a season and then fall over at the final hurdle.”

Finals in both the Premier 2 and Premier 3 competitions will be contested with the chance, early next season, for winners to advance up a grade in 2023, and third and fourth matches will also be held on a bumper evening at the EA Networks Centre.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): You’ll attract people to your cause. Once they get involved, it becomes their own. The fact that this purpose means something different to each person who gets involved is further proof this is worthwhile.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): There will always be people who have what you want. Use them as inspiration, not discouragement. Their attainment in the one area has nothing to do with your ability to reach your goals.

White�

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): Even as you try new styles, add skills and work to accommodate the fresh demands of the time, there’s a strong core at your centre that remains unchanged.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): Avoidance would be an effective coping technique except for the lingering fear that the thing you’re avoiding will eventually catch up to you. Spin around quick, and face it head-on.
