The line is expected to enter service on July 15 — a couple of weeks after Mr Milner’s retire- ment on Friday, July 1. “There will be no obvious signs of the line being switched on and it should be treated as live from Monday, June 27,” says Mr Milner. The line will bring substantial benefits to the whole of Te Awa- mutu and surrounding areas. It means that this year’s planned outage by Transpower which normally means a total power black-out for eight or nine hours on a Sunday can be avoided. “Transpower will take their line out of service as planned, but the new line will mean electricity will continue to be supplied with- out any interruption.” Taking over from Mr Milner is Adam Fletcher. Mr Kadziolka says Mr Fletcher was an outstanding candidate for CEO — chosen from a large num- ber of highly suitable candidates. “Mr Fletcher has a New Zea- land Certificate of Engineering and a Master’s degree in Business Administration,” he says. “He has worked in the electric- ity industry for more than 20 years as an engineer, manager and con- sultant.” Mr Fletcher joins Waipa Net- works from Te Kuiti based The Lines Company where he was chief asset officer. “We look forward to the next phase in the development of the company as we face the technologi- cal challenges of solar power, battery technology and electric vehicles,” says Mr Kadziolka. “We have every confidence that under Mr Fletcher’s leadership the company will continue to prosper and grow to meet these changes head on.” Mr Fletcher takes up his new role on Monday, August 1. He is married with two sons.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Adjusting fluoride levels in waterKane Titchener wrote that
Waikato communities are quitehappy living without fluoride.
This is not true, because allNew Zealand water has some init. All that is done is adjust thenatural level to reach 7ppm tohelp protect against tooth decay.
He goes on to suggest thatthere will cost involved inmaintaining the equipment usedin the fluoride process becauseof corrosion.
The Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention (CDC) says“the fluoride ion has little influ-ence on either corrosion or onthe amounts of corroded metalsreleased into the water.
“More than 40 chemicaladditives can be used to treatdrinking water. Many of thesecommonly used additives are
acidic. The amounts of each ofthese other additives used inwater treatment typically arefive to 10 times the amount of thefluoride additive for fluoridationof drinking water, therefore,their potential effect on thefactors affecting watercorrosivity is proportionatelygreater.”
Mr Titchener goes on tosuggest the Scottish Child Smilewould be a better option. This isnot backed by the facts. Theprogramme only reaches chil-dren up to age 11 — if they opt in.
Community water fluori-dation reaches everybody.
There are 90,000 children onthe Scotland Childsmile pro-gramme, but the cost is annually$NZ3.5 million, approximately$38 per child, and the pro-
gramme still uses fluoride intheir treatment.
New Zealand treatment costs50c per year per person.
What would you ratherspend money on — child’s toothrepair or elective surgery?
If kids are losing their teethat a young age they’re going tobe in pain and they will besuffering for weeks and weeksbefore they even get to thedoctor.
Every treatment under gen-eral anaesthetic cost about$4000.
Nationally each year justover 5000 children aged eightand under received treatmentfor severe tooth decay using ageneral anaesthetic according tothe New Zealand DentalAssociation.
CHRIS PRICEWaipa District Council
agrees there are traces ofnatural fluoride in all of NewZealand waters, some areashigher than others. Waikatowater is generally low innatural fluoride as most wateris from a surface supply.
Bore or aquifer water tendsto have slightly higher naturallevels and areas around vol-canic plateaus are higher still.
The levels of natural fluor-ide are not high enough toassist in dental health which iswhy chemically produced fluor-ide is added to those areas thatfluoridate their supplies.
Waipa District Council doesnot adjust the levels of fluoridein our water, nor does it addfluoride.
Experts neededI quote from Stay Healthy by supplying
what’s lacking in your diet (NZ PublishingHouse).
With regard to tooth decay: “Nowadays,survey after survey both worldwide andhere in New Zealand, clearly show nosignificant differences between non-fluoridated and fluoridated communities”
Other facts:25 per cent of Auckland children influoridated areas have mild mottling of theteeth which is linked to higher rates of bonefractures in all ages.Fluoride is never found in breast milk.Fluoride can be supplied in ways other thanwater supply — e.g. toothpaste and tablets.
Personally I believe that we should notaccept fluoride in our water supply, howeverlet’s have some expert opinion on this.

Caves winning top spotBY TODD WARDWAITOMO NEWS
TC160616SP05ATHE unique wonders of Waitomo’s popular glowwormcaves are sweeping social media.
In recent weeks, the Wai-tomo Glowworm Caves hasmade the list of the top 10most pinned locations onPinterest for 2016.
The caves feature along-side nine other world famoustourist destinations includ-ing the Grand Canyon (USA),Trolltunga (Norway) andPink Sands Beach in theBahamas.
Pinterest, which now hasmore than 100 million users,is a photo sharing websitewhere users can upload, saveand sort images — known aspins — and other mediacontent through collectionsknown as pin boards.
One Pinterest reviewerdescribes the Waitomo Glow-worm Caves as “incrediblymajestic and unreal”.
“I can honestly say that Ihave never had anotherexperience even come closeto what this tour was like,”they write.
“There are so many ele-ments of this tour that makeit worth seeing, but the factthat they can all be crammedinto one day is truly amaz-ing.
“The Waitomo GlowwormCaves are a must-see on anytrip to New Zealand.
“You have to see for your-self!”BLOGS HELPING
The Legendary BlackWater Rafting Companyoperations team member,Logan Doull credits the spikeon Pinterest to a blog posted
two weeks ago by Auckland-based photographer ShaunJeffers, which featured
breath-taking images ofRuakuri Cave and quicklyspread around the world and
had received more than79,000 views.
“There have been a lot ofblogs posted recently thathave really spread our cover-age quite well,” says MrDoull.
“One in particular wasdone by Shaun Jeffers whodoes most of our promotionalphotos. He put it on onewebsite that got picked up byall sorts of agencies aroundthe world, including some ofthe big players likeHuffington Post and CNN.
“I think our popularity onPinterest and social media ingeneral is probably a directresult of that.
“It’s really quite satisfy-ing knowing that the effort ispaying off and a greatreward for Shaun as well tobe recognised on a globalstage.”ICONIC IMAGES
Mr Doull says thatalthough the photographsare gaining internationalattention on Pinterest, thestar of the show is still theglowworms themselves.
“They are pretty iconicimages which you can’t getanywhere else in the world,”he says.
“That’s the advantage ofthese wonderful creaturescalled glowworms whichmake our caves stand out.
“The images speak forthemselves and many peopletag them with the movieAvatar because they wereone of the inspirations fordirector James Cameron.”

Funding forevents inWaipa area
Event organisers are being urged toapply for funding aimed at supportingevents in the Waipa district.
Waipa District Council sets aside$100,000 annually to support events thatpromote the district as an attractive placeto live, work, invest in or visit. Mayor JimMylchreest said his council is keen tosupport events that provide demonstrablebenefits.
“We look to encourage events that offerlocals something to do and see, that useour facilities and that showcase ourdistrict and attract economic activity,” hesaid. “We can’t always offer financialsupport but there is a range of otherthings we can do to help if we know eventsare planned.”
Events supported previously includefood festivals, arts and cultural events,equine competition, water sports, cyclingevents, concerts, community movienights and more. Usually more than 40applications are received each year butnot all are successful.
Recent independent research fromWellington company Marketview showedthat major events in particular offer ahuge economic boost to the Waipa com-munity.
Last year five key events — Waka AmaSprint Nationals, Maadi Cup Rowing,Kihikihi International Horse Trials,Fieldays and UCI Track Cycling WorldCup — pumped $27.4 million into thedistrict’s economy. Based on that re-search and community feedback, MrMylchreest said Council was likely toreview its events strategy.
“We have already provided support tothe 2017 World Masters Games which isexpected to be of huge benefit to Waipa,”he said.
“We need to make sure we get behindthe kind of events the community wants,as well as supporting those that have theability to do economic and other good.”
The council recently launched a newwebsite — www.whatsonwaipa.co.nz —detailing a range of events planned inWaipa.
The website already has events pro-grammed out until early 2017 and offersorganisers assistance and advice as wellas a free promotional platform.
Communications manager NataliePalmer said early feedback on the site hadbeen “hugely enthusiastic” from bothevent organisers and the wider commun-ity.
Applications to the fund are now openand close at the end of July.
They will be assessed by the Council’sDistrict Promotion Committee, chairedby Mr Mylchreest and including WaipaDistrict councillors John Bishop and SueMilner along with community representa-tives Mervyn Gyde and Kevin Burgess.
■ Application forms are available fromcouncil offices or at waipadc.govt.nz/DistrictPromotionFundFor more information contact Council— 0800924 723 or [email protected]

NUMBERS UPCoinciding with the interest on
Pinterest, Mr Doull says visitornumbers to Waitomo are showinggreat results.
Black Water Rafting had a 20per cent increase in patronage infrom last summer to that of2015-2016. Bookings are alsosteady this winter requiring 40full-time guides.
That number is expected torise to more than 70 during sum-mer.
ENJOYING SHAREAnd with positive exposure on
global social media websites — wordspreads quickly.
“People come to New Zealand forall sorts of reasons and most of thetime they already know what they’regoing to do before the come,” saysMr Doull. “But when they hear aboutsomething cool which fits with theiritinerary, then they will often makethe effort to go out of their way to seewhy something is so popular.
“With tourism doing wellthroughout New Zealand, we hope tocontinue enjoying our share of that.”

Wendy’s hours oflabour rewarded
TC160616SP09ATE AWAMUTU Rowing Club stalwart Wendy Reynolds was on hand to congratulateher son Cameron (left) and clubmate Edward Baddeley on their medals at the NorthIsland Club Championship earlier this year.

BY CATHY ASPLIN
Thousands of hours ofvoluntary work for the TeAwamutu Rowing Club hasresulted in a Rowing NZVolunteer Award for clubstalwart Wendy Reynolds.
Mrs Reynolds becameinvolved with the club whenher eldest daughter Brookebegan rowing and has con-tinued to be heavilyinvolved in club events eversince.
In particular her role asregatta secretary for TeAwamutu regattas at Kara-piro and Masters events atNgaroto has required manyhours work.
She has also helpedarrange rowing camps andtrips to regional, NorthIsland and national events.
Mrs Reynolds managedall of the travelarrangements for the lasttwo trips south for the teamattending the Maadi Cupregatta.
This can be quite a chal-lenge, as the club also needsto liaise with the school andparents.
All of her children haverowed — Kelsi, Josh andnow youngest son Cam —have all followed in theirelder sister’s footsteps.
Mrs Reynolds has alwaysmade sure she is on the bankcheering them on and sup-porting them at theirregattas.
Te Awamutu RowingClub Secretary CatherineStapleton says Mrs Reynoldshas been a crucial part of theTe Awamutu Rowing Clubfor almost 15 years.
“Wendy is a committedand generous committeemember. More often that notshe will go the extra mile toensure that the big things, aswell as the little things getdone.
“This is especially truewith respect to the club
regatta and masters regattawe run annually. These areour main fundraising activi-ties and attendance num-bers have been steadilyincreasing in recent years.
“We receive a lot of posi-tive feedback about theyway we run our events andthis largely due to Wendy’sorganisation and leadership.
“What makes hercontributions all the morecommendable is that she isfitting all of voluntary workaround running the familybusiness with her husband,Dave.

serving on a local board,there’s an opportunityright now to apply fortrustee positions on theCambridge ResthavenTrust Board Incorporated.
In the past, positionshave been filled fromwithin the six foundingorganisations of Cam-bridge Resthaven. But,looking to the future, thecurrent trust board hasmade changes to the ap-pointment process, openingup the seven trustee posi-tions to the wider commun-ity.

resources in the future,”Current Chairperson SarahBarns Graham said.“Having an appointmentspanel is quite unique for acommunity trust, and it’sexciting to be leading theway in governance of com-munity trusts.”
There has been quite alead-up to the changes, MrsBarns Graham said. Be-cause of the change to theappointments process, it’sbeen important to consultwith the community. Theresponse and support havebeen positive, and now theboard is looking forward tothe appointment of the newboard at the end of Febru-ary.

Chiefs whip WalesThe Gallagher Chiefs produced a stun-
ning performance to record a memorable40-7 win over Wales at FMG Stadium.
From the outset the Chiefs looked fired upfor the unique one-off midweek fixture, withtheir first ever pre-game haka setting thescene for their six tries to one victory in frontof a huge, vocal home crowd.
Each and every one of the Chiefs’ matchday 22 covered themselves in glory, but nonemore so than their inspirational captainStephen Donald.
The ex All Black first five created histeam’s first try, had a try of his owndisallowed, and kicked four conversions in anhistoric victory.
Bloodied and limping after a mammothperformance, Donald was replaced after 70minutes and received a standing ovation fromChiefs’ fans.
It was Wales worst defeat since 2010when they lost to the All Blacks 42-9 inDunedin.
The Chiefs were also without as many as10 players sidelined by injury, and others whoare with the New Zealand Under-20s at theirworld championship in England.
Because of those absences the Chiefswere given little chance of upsetting a strongWelsh midweek team.
Wales were made stronger when an injuryto back-rower Ellis Jenkins saw test captain
Sam Warburton start, while stars TaulupeFauletau and Jamie Roberts also got somegame time.
The Welsh had plentiful possession butwere continuously smashed backwards bywonderfully committed defence.
The speed of Wales' breakdown pos-session was slow, while the Chiefs recycledthe ball with lightning speed, placing constantpressure on a stretched defence.
The Chiefs were far more creative -quickly moving the ball from set piece withlong passes to the outside backs, who oftenfound the Welsh flank defence wanting. Theyalso profited from chip kicks into spacebehind the flat Welsh defence.
Due to the break in Super Rugby for theinternational window, tipsters in the Courier‘Our Panel’s Picks’ competition were taskedwith selecting the winners of six ‘test’matches and the Chiefs v Wales interna-tional.
Robin McGregor (Power Chill) fared bestwith 5/7 winners, while the majority struggledas Samoa and Georgia drew 19-all, Irelandregistered their first win in South Africa,26-20, Japan beat Canada 26-22, Argentinadowned Italy 30-24, New Zealand beat Wales39-21 and the Chiefs thrashed Wales 40-7.
Competition leader Andrea Miller (PGGWrightson) only managed 3/7 winners. Shenow has a group of five in close contention.

Having enough nitrogen in farmingsystems is essential. But havingtoo much of it or not managing it
wisely can have significant environmen-tal consequences.Nitrogen plays an important role in
increasing pasture and crop yieldsbecause it boosts the development ofproteins in both plants and animals.Nitrogen is also a key component ofgreen pigment (chlorophyll) in plantleaves, which is vital for photosynthesis.But nitrogen in the form of nitrate
moves readily out of the root zoneduring wet weather.Now, with the coldest and wettest
months of the year just around thecorner, it’s important to bear inmind theneed to be particularly cautious over therisks involved with applying nitrogenfertilisers to pasture or crops duringwinter.Winter applications of nitrogen fer-
tilisers are generally least effective forpromoting grass growth. That’s becauseslow growth of pasture in winter andgreater drainage can result in nitrateleaching before plants can take it up.The nitrogen can make its way towaterways where it can stimulatenuisance algal growth.Also, lactating cows will excrete in
urine about 70 per cent of the nitrogenthey consume. Again, the risk of this
nitrogen leaching from urine patches ismuch higher in winter.Such nitrogen leaching from
pastures in winter, along with phos-phorus runoff, not only contaminateswater bodies but mean a loss ofeconomically valuable nutrients fromthe farming system.Some of the research to mitigate
nitrogen losses generally has focussedon:• growing pasture with more rootingdepth for interception of nitrate• reducing the amount of time animalsspend on pasture• feeding high sugar grasses to reducethe amount of nitrogen lost in urine.Nutrient budgeting using computer
models such as Overseer, combinedwith feed budgeting, enables farmers tounderstand how they can adjust theirfarm system to minimise nitrogenlosses. By doing this farmers canoptimise the use of nutrients and reducethe impact on the environment byworking out a pragmatic nutrient man-agement plan.Understanding the term “response
rate” helps farmers when it comes toimplementing these plans.The response rate is the amount of
pasture grown in terms of kilograms ofdry matter (DM) per hectare perkilogram of nitrogen (N) applied. Forexample, when 20 kgN/ha is applied andan additional 200 kg DM/ha of pasture isgrown the response rate is 10 kg DM/kgN applied. The response is dependent onseveral factors such as soil temperature,plant growth, soil moisture, the de-ficiency of available nitrogen in the soiland the rate of nitrogen applied perapplication.The best response to N fertiliser
occurs on fast growing pasture, whenother factors such as moisture and soiltemperature are not limiting growth. Inwinter, at the same application rate,responses are lower and slower thanother times of the year.It is better to apply nitrogenous
fertiliser when the pasture cover isbetween 1,500 to 1,800 kg DM/ha. Thisensures that there is sufficient leaf areafor photosynthesis leading to goodpasture growth.Also, nitrogen fertiliser reduces ni-
trogen fixation by clover by about onekg N/ha/year for every three kg nitro-gen fertiliser applied. In addition, clovercontent will be further reduced ifnitrogen boosted pastures shade theclover. This effect is seen during spring.Remember that the profitability of
applying nitrogen is dependent on theutilisation of the extra feed. Therefore,nitrogen needs to be strategically ap-plied to fill genuine feed deficits.Nitrogen conversion efficiency for
any farm is another key point to beremembered. This is measured bycalculating total nitrogen in productdivided by the total nitrogen inputs intoa farm and is expressed as a percentage.A dairy farm, for example, is probablydoing fine with about 40 per cent.Getting clear advice from farm
consultants about the risks involvedwith winter nitrogen applications onindividual properties is a good idea as itwill help determine how they can bestbe managed bearing in mind eachfarm’s circumstances.

’Switching thevaluation methodisn’t a decisionlightly made, as ithas furtherimplications’
TonyMarshall
With this year’s continuedconvergence of valuesbetween the Herd Scheme
Value and National Standard Costfor dairy cattle, professionalservices firm Crowe Horwath saysfarmers are presented with anopportunity to review their live-stock valuation methods andoptimise their operations for taxefficiency.That’s according to Tony
Marshall, agri tax specialist whopoints out that the IRD’s 2016 HerdScheme (HS) values have drawn totheir closest with the NationalStandard Cost (NSC) in some time.“Valuation choice is important
due to the tax treatment of livestockunder each scheme,” he says.“Once livestock are valued
under HS, movements in value arenon-taxable, whereasmovements in
value under the NSC method arealways taxable, either as income ora deduction.”The HS value of a Mixed Aged
Dairy Cow has fallen to $1356, whilethe NSC for a home bred cowcurrently stands at around $900. At$456, the difference is the smallestfor many years.By contrast, when the HS value
for Mixed Aged Cows peaked in 2012at $2155 the corresponding NSCvalue was around $488 — a differ-ence of $1667.In general, most farmers use HS,
NSC, or a combination of the twomethods to value their livestock fortax purposes.However, switching the valua-
tion method isn’t a decision lightlymade, as it has further implicationsaccording to MrMarshall.“Generally, changing from NSC
to HS will incur a tax cost, as thedifference between the values undereach method would be taxable in-come. However, with the closing ofthe gap between the methods, thereis now a window of opportunity tomake the change with the smallestamount of taxable income arising.”He adds that as most dairy
farmers are likely to be in a lossmaking situation for the 2016 year,there is unlikely to be any cash costassociated with the change inmethod.Furthermore, Mr Marshall
explains, whether or not it is appro-priate to change methods comesdown to a number of factors whichshould be assessed on an individualbasis.There are some rules of thumb,
though.“Generally, if HS values are
expected to increase, that signals agood time to enter this scheme. Oncein the HS, any increases in valueeach income year are tax free to thefarmer.“Secondly, if the farmer is
expecting to sell their herd in thenear future, switching to HS couldprotect part of the purchase price
from tax.“Finally, if the farmer is under-
taking succession planning in thefuture, election into the HS methodcould be beneficial.”Specialist advice should be taken
before any decision is made asmoving to the HS method is irrevo-cable.
Undue pressure from banks rising: Federated FarmersFarmers overall remain satisfied with
their banks, but pressure is building andsharemilkers are feeling it most the
quarterly a Federated Farmers BankingSurvey has revealed.The survey gauges the relationship
farmers holdwith their banks. It has indicatedthat perceptions about ‘undue pressure’ havegradually built.
Federated Farmers dairy chairmanAndrew Hoggard says that it comes at nosurprise considering the current environ-ment.“Despite sharemilkers being particularly
exposed at present bank satisfaction remainsstrong overall.”The survey shows 81 per cent of all
farmers and 79 per cent of dairy farmers were
‘very satisfied’ or ‘satisfied’ with their banks.However, 9.7 per cent of all farmers felt
they were coming under ‘undue pressure’regarding their mortgage, up from lastquarter’s 8.5 per cent. For dairy farmers thiswas up to 12.9 per cent from 10.9 per cent lastquarter.Mr Hoggard says it is important to
recognise that other farming types are not
reporting the extent of bank pressure andnumbers have hardly shifted since the surveystarted.New Zealand Bankers’ Association chief
executive Karen Scott-Howman says thatbanks are still working closely with farmers tohelp them plan andmanage through the toughtimes and the survey results are positive giventhe current environment for farmers.

The last time the two sides met, the Magicalso won by one — and began their winningstreak of five games in a row.
It’s a fairy-tale turnaround for a team wholost their first five games and have nowcemented their place in the New ZealandConference top three.
The Magic were up 43-37 at three-quartertime but appeared to let their guard down inthe final 15 minutes, and the Tactix graduallyclosed to within two goals with two minutesremaining. But time was not on their side.
The battle of the night was between Magicshooter Jo Harten, who constantly createdplay and shot 40 from 43, and Tactix goalkeep Jess Moulds, who was tireless indefence, with 10 intercepts and deflections toher name.

Cycling TipsWith all the new Cycle ways now available in
the Waipa and surrounding districts and increasedparticipation in cycling, we would like to offer somepractical cycling tips over the next few weeks.
Be predictable. Make eye contact with otherroad users.
Maintain a straight line and don’t pass on theleft hand side.
When riding on the flat, ride in comfortable gearand at a medium pace.
When cornering keep your inside pedal up andkeep both hands on the handle bars.
Wear an approved helmet and check yourbrakes, lights, tyres, chain and reflectors on yourbike regularly.
When riding uphill pick your gear at the bottomof the climb. This reduces the risk of dropping yourchain or getting it jammed. Try to ‘spin’ a low gear.
Ride with your hands on top of your handlebars.
When riding downhill brake before the corner.Use both brakes at once for even pressure.
Ride with your hands closer to your brakes toallow for easier braking.
Te Awamutu LoopFor the more experienced cyclists, try this
30km loop.Start at the Velodrome, Armstrong Avenue,
turn right into Bank Street, right into Puniu Road/Pokuru Road, left into Te Mawhai Road, right ontoKakepuku Road, right into Pokuru Road, left ontoPokuru Factory Road.
Continue onto Budden Road, left onto PokuruRoad and then back to the Velodrome where youcan finish off with a few laps of the track.
Evans wins World silverBY COLIN THORSEN
TC160616CT02ROSETOWN’S Delwyn Evans back at Zero Limits Gym withher World Champs medals and Waikato champion trophy.
Delwyn Evans went onebetter than last year winningsilver at the World RawPower Lifting Champion-ships in Potchefstroom,South Africa.
The Te Awamutu benchpress competitor also becameWorld fifth ranked femaleacross all weight divisionson body to weight ratio at thechampionships.
“It’s all a little bitsurreal... I felt on ‘top of theworld’ after winning bronzelast year in Helsinki... to winsilver 12 months later and beranked so highly on body toweight has far exceeded myexpectations,” says Evans.
Standing between the52-year-old and a full set ofbronze/silver/gold medals isWorld Masters Under 72kgchampion, Regina Haas ofGermany.
Haas opened in extra-ordinary fashion, equallingthe World record of 95kg withher first lift. She then brokethe record twice with sub-sequent lifts of 100kg and105kg.
Evans went into theWorlds on a high after win-ning gold at the Common-wealth Championships inVancouver in December2015.
Her first lift of 70kgsecured her the silver medal.She was then unsuccessfulwith attempts at 75kg and77.5kg.
“I’m reasonably happywith my overall result but alittle disappointed that I
didn’t lift to my true ability,”says Evans.
“Regina is in a class of herown right now but a lot canhappen in a year.
“I’m determined to give it
another crack and shoot forgold at the 2017 Worlds inTexas. If I can keep improv-ing and produce my best onthe day and Regina has an offday, who knows what could
happen.”As Evans’ sports psycho-
logist, David Galbraith tellsher: “Failure equals success,the more failures you have,the more successful youbecome.”
She would like nothingmore than to go head to headwith Haas once again.
“Regina is a such a lovelyperson. I’ve never experi-enced such wonderful sports-manship as she displayed inPotchefstroom.
“She’s been competing onthe world stage for 15 yearsand I’m a relative ‘greenhorn’ with four years experi-ence. Nonetheless, she sawme as a true competitor andoffered me encouragement,in defeat, to pursue my questto become World champion.Sometimes you need to tapinto that experience.”
On her return home fromSouth Africa, the Rosetownlifter had instant successtaking out the Waikatofemale bench press title at TeAroha.
She had little time to getover any jet lag from alengthy direct flight fromDubai, arriving home onWednesday morning beforecompeting on Saturday.
Her attention is nowfocussing on the NationalBench Press Championshipsin Rotorua in October andthe Asia Oceania Champion-ships in Christchurch inDecember.
Evans trains under TonyThomson at Zero Limits andis sponsored by TXG Com-pression Wear.

TAKEN BY STEVE PHOTOGRAPHYJOEL ROIL nets hat-trick ofgoals against Whakatane.
Te Awamutu went on ascoring spree for thesecond sweek runningthrashing Whakatane 4-0in Waikato Bay of PlentySoccer Federation’s cham-pionship league.
The win moves theEdmonds Judd sponsoredteam into second place,equal on points with Tau-po, but with a better goaldifference.
Waikato Ball opened thescoring in Whakatane witha lengthy thunderbolt shotthat gave the keeper nochance to save.
Joel Roil then finishedoff a well worked teammovement to give his teama 2-0 lead at halftime.
Roil completed his hat-trick of goals in the secondhalf when his team set himup twice to pounce onthrough balls and beat theWhakatane off-side trap.
The Cooper and Naylorplayer of the day awardwent to centre midfielderBradley Small.

Te Awamutu Sports failed to fire inanother crunch Waikato premier rugbygame, going down 34-17 to Matamata.
The loss at Albert Park on Saturday hasseen Matamata move seven points clear ofTe Awamutu Sports in the battle to avoidcontesting the promotion-relegation playoff.
Looking to avenge a forgettable gameagainst Matamata earlier in the season,Sports dug a hole for themselves with errors,missed tackles and once again gettingthemselves on the wrong side of the penaltycount.
They started well, securing the kickoff,executing a nice kick into the scoreboardcorner and forcing a turnover. But anunfortunate intercept try put them on theback foot early, then some sloppy defenceallowed Matamata in again and within fiveminutes, Sports found themselves down 14-0.
Some quick thinking from a lineout hadskipper Norman Solofa hit back and, at 14-7,the game was evening out with Sportsslowly getting into the contest.
They had chances but turnovers andmistakes bit them hard. To make mattersworse, Matamata scored twice again in thefive minutes before halftime to lead 24-7.
The game had started ‘chippy’ but gotprogressively worse as off the ball play led tofrustrations boiling over.
Sports began the second half down to 14
men, but with more purpose, resulting inprop Etimani Sului crashing over to pull thescore back to 24-14.
When Sports grabbed the kickoff andwent straight back on attack it seemed thetide had turned, only for another mistake inmidfield resulting in Matamata going thelength of the field to score to lead 29-14.
Sports hit back with a try to centre InokeTuibua, however, mistakes and ill-disciplinemeant they never really threatened again,allowing another try in the process tocomplete the 17 point defeat.
Dion Spice performed well behind ascrappy forward battle, under constant siegefrom Matamata, while lock Tuike Mahonilooked elusive with ball in hand in his firststart.
Winger Antonio Takamore made somenice breaks and flankers Cameron Petchand Christian Kelleher matched the bigMatamata forwards.
Winger John Collier celebrated his blazer(30th) game with an appearance in thesecond half, hot off three tries in the earlierPremier B game.
The B side continued from where theyleft off in last week’s stunning comebackwin, scoring early and often, running away59-24 victors over their Matamatacounterparts to record their second win ofthe season.
The job doesn’t get any easier whenSports travel to Cambridge to play tabletopping Hautapu.
