WRITTEN BY MILLIE THOMAS

The development of the Roxby Cultural and Leisure Precinct has been placed on hold until feedback from commu-

nity consultation is reviewed, it has been revealed.

Amendments of existing plans and the ten-dering process following the consulation must also be completed before a development cost is fi nalised.

Th e community consultation workshops – to be held tomorrow at the Dunes Café from 5.30pm until 8.30pm and in the auditorium on Friday from 12 noon until 3pm - will be conducted by independent facilitators, and will address six main points of interest.

Th ey include the Linking Roxby Project, fa-cilities for children and youth, local business, main street revitalisation, sport and recreation, and infrastructure and assets.

“Roxby Council invites and encourages the community to attend these consultation work-shops, as they will provide the community with

an opportunity to contribute to shaping the future development of Roxby Downs,” Roxby Council Administrator, Bill Boehm, said last week.

A statement released by Roxby Council said recent feedback for the Linking Roxby Project, had indicated the community ‘had a signifi -cant amount of feedback to give on the Linking Roxby Project, as well as a number of other priorities’.

“Many of these items have already been cap-tured in ongoing Council planning, and we look forward to working with the community to get the best outcomes from these ongoing projects,” Mr Boehm said. “Council is seeking a deeper level of understanding and engage-ment with the community on these important issues.”

“Feedback on the proposed Linking Roxby Project has been considered and, in light of community comments, the designs and scope of work for the proposed redevelopment are now being revisited. Whilst a provision for the project has been made in the Draft Annual Budget 2014/15, this project will only proceed if other key projects, for which strategic plan-

ning and stakeholder consultation has already commenced, can still be accommodated,” said Mr Boehm.

Laura Johnson, Roxby Downs Netball Asso-ciation President, said a major consideration for both netball and basketball groups in Roxby was a dire need for more courts.

“We lack courts for training for the amount of teams we have, and also for playing games as well,” Mrs Johnson told Th e Monitor last week.

“I guess if we go through the expansion and decide to put more teams in … it’s defi nitely not enough.”

She also said storage space was also running out.

“We’ve got court bags, and our ‘Net Set Go’ stuff , and junior bags, so in the off season all the junior bags need to be stored somewhere,” she said. “We do have storage space at the mo-ment, but … it’s not enough.”

Roxby Central Traders Chairperson Leigh Malcolm welcomed the possibility of commer-cial trading spaces in the proposed centre.

“I know some people have made the com-ment that more retail shops down the bottom of the leisure centre is a waste of time because

we can’t fi ll up the shops here - but one of the positives for me is if they are released for commercial leasing, it will put pressure on the landlords here,” Mr Malcolm said last week. “Th ere are more choices and retailers can shift within Roxby and not be dictated to by one major stakeholder as in Perks (and Associates – syndicate owners of Roxby Central) here.

“I’m not sure what those shops are ear-marked for, if they’ll be rented, but the fact that there’s more commercial properties available in town is actually a good thing for us, because it gives us a leverage against Savills.

Feedback from this week’s workshops will culminated into an independent report.

The information is expected to assist in council’s future planning, with some strate-gies to be implemented in the 2014/15 Annual Business Plan. Th e draft plan is currently open for consultation until Th ursday, June 5.

Find out more information about the meet-ings on 0 today.

A recent theft from a family home on Hermit Street has left a raft of disappointed resi-dents – and home owner Darren Peters

questioning why incidents such as this are on the rise in Roxby Downs.

It was Wednesday last week when Darren was alert-ed by his four year old daughter Miley that ‘Kangaroo Jack had gone’.

“Miley actually came running in, upset, going, ‘Jack’s gone, Jack’s gone!’” Darren told Th e Monitor last week. “I walked out the front and she pointed over and she’s like, ‘Kangaroo Jack’s gone!’. I thought jeez, and the bird bath as well by the looks of it!”

However, disturbances of this kind are not unu-sual in Hermit Street – and even wider Roxby, with Darren describing an almost weekly knocking over of rubbish bins resulting in a littered street, smashing of windows in Richardson Place and further front yard thefts.

“It’s just seems like the last month has been shock-ing,” Darren said. He said the tomfoolery often coin-cided with mid –week parties – identifi able from loud music in the immediate area.

“I think it’s just people walking down the street, drunk and just think its fun.”

Th e theft of ‘Kangaroo Jack’ and a bird bath from Darren’s front yard – while only equating to ap-proximately $350 – has a huge sentimental value to daughters Miley and Kacie-Lee, as well as a number of passing by community members.

At the request of families walking past his house – Darren would move Kangaroo Jack around his front yard, to stir some magic in little onlookers.

“I’ve got a lot of other sculptures I’ve got in Ade-laide that I want to bring up but there’s no point put-ting them in my front yard,” Darren said. “It’s getting to the point where if I want to do up my front yard with my sculptures I’m going to have to put fencing across the front and close my front yard in to know my belongings are safe.”

Darren has not reported the matter to police, ac-knowledging they have ‘better things to do than look for a $100 statue’, but said should the perpetrators wish to return his belongings, no names will be men-tioned .


A missile launcher has been moved to Missile Park, Woomera for display recently, after being kept in storage since 2008.

Operated by the 16 Air Land Regiment (formerly 16 Air Defence Regiment), the Rapier air-to-surface missile launcher was used between 1979 and 2005, and was part of a system that is still being used in the United Kingdom today.

It was moved to Missile Park as part of a wider community support project conducted by Number. 24 Squadron personnel on Wednesday, May 14 after being made safe for public display.

“Th e Regiment has a long association with the Woomera Test Range, which it has used as its primary live-fi re test site,” a Defence spokesperson explained.

“On its retirement, one of the Rapier systems was off ered by 16AD for display in the Woomera Missile Park.”

Th e spokesperson said it was common for Austral-ian Defence Force units on deployment to partake in community projects.

Many units deploy to the Woomera Test Range each year and the local community has benefi tted from several such support tasks on recent occasions, including ANZAC Day and a repaint of the Woomera RSL fi eld gun gate guardian exhibit.

Th e Rapier unit is positioned next to the IKARA anti-ship missile system, and a Bofors anti-aircraft gun system- a system used by the regiment prior to the introduction of the Rapier.

‘Rapier’ was a British surface-to-air missile system developed for the British Army and Royal Air Force in the early 1970s.

The ailing central shopping district in Roxby Downs has been a point of concern for almost two years

now – with six businesses ‘closing up shop’ to either relocate or disappear into the abyss altogether.

However, one not-for-profi t forum has been slowly working in the background – developing ideas and strategies to help boost business for local traders.

Th e Roxby Downs Business Forum was incepted in its current form in 2012, with the aim to provide an avenue for local businesses to network and support each other to reach potential. It was hoped, that by having successful businesses, Roxby Downs would have a strong and sustainable business community.

Now, over a couple of years on, the forum is stronger than ever – pumping out products, events and tools for local businesses to use.

Th ey have been the brains behind the annual Roxby Downs Business Awards, business breakfasts with notable keynote

speakers such as BHP Billiton Asset Pres-ident Darryl Cuzzubbo and more recently a social media workshop.

“The BFESC works on a variety of projects to both educate local business owners and stimulate business in Roxby Downs,” BFESC Chairperson and home based business owner Laura Trotta said last week.

“Projects may be funded through spon-sorship or BFESC funds, which have been raised from previous events.

“In most cases events, particularly training events, are run at a loss as the committee sees these as an important service to provide to the Business Forum members.”

A ‘shop locally’ campaign – named ‘hop in and shop in Roxby Downs’ has also been widely distributed across commu-nity media for an extended period of time and although drawing to a close in the near future, the committee are reviewing other such campaigns moving forward.

“Anecdotal feedback has been very pos-itive,” Laura said. “Several people have

commented that the logo of the kan-garoo and the photographs of the shop keepers and owners on the front page of Th e Monitor really remind them that it’s important to try to shop locally, especially when other papers advertise large out of town retailers reminding of online trading options.”

Spearheaded by representatives from local and industrial businesses, com-munity media, emergency services and non-voting representatives from BHP Billiton and Council continue to develop platforms for businesses in the future.

Some ideas include inviting communi-ty input, developing a local procurement plan to keep more tenders in the region, introducing online voting for this year’s business awards and collating an electron-ic data base of local businesses and service providers.

Following the recent c lo sure o f the Woomera Hospital,

an alternative, smaller mo del o f me dic a l consultation will take place – with visiting GP Dr Simon Lockwood continuing to provide his services.

Th e Woomera Hospital closed at the end of April this year, following the ex-piration of a 20 year con-tract between the Com-monwealth and Country Health SA.

The facility that used to be a 48 bed hospital, catering for up to 7,000, was now only catering for between 1-200 Woomera residents, and the vast-ness of the building was no longer required. Since the end of the contract, the Australian Defence Force has worked with the South Australian Department of Health and Ageing and Country Health South Australia to explore op-tions for the continued provision of health ser-vices at Woomera.

“Defence has negoti-ated an ongoing Prima-

ry Health Care service arrangement with Dr Simon Lockwood. Dr Lockwood will continue to operate a health clinic service in the short term from offices in the old Woomera Hospital until more suitable accommo-dation arrangements can be identifi ed,” a Defence spokesperson said last week.

Dr Lockwood visits Woomera Wednesdays and Fridays from 9am un-til 12noon, with appoint-ments made through the Roxby Downs Family Practice.

“A nurse will also be in attendance at the clin-ic from 9am to 1pm, Mon-day and Tuesday until a full-time nurse, providing clinic services six hours per day Monday to Friday, commences at the end of May,” the spokesperson said.

Th e clinic does not pro-vide an inpatient or emer-gency service.

Emergency medical ser-vices are provided at Rox-by Downs Hospital and by the SA Ambulance Service based at Woomera.

Defence stated there are no approved plans for the reuse of the Woomera Hospital site

Roxby Downs children joined more than 410,000 children last Wednesday

in being a part of Australia’s biggest storytelling session, the National Simultaneous Storytime.

Children from Roxby Downs Kindergarten and Child Care got the opportunity to listen to the children’s book ‘Too Many Ele-phants in this House’, by Ursula Dubosarsky, read by Community Librarian Kimberley Hargrave in the Outback Cinema

At 11am last Wednesday in over 2,300 locations people were reading the picture book to thou-sands of children in the aim of encouraging a passion for books.

But not only did the children of Roxby Downs get to enjoy this reading, but anyone tuned into 105.5 RoxFM at 11am that day would have also heard the Australian picture book being read aloud.

By broadcasting the story to all its listen-ers Roxby Downs became the fi rst library to broadcast the National Simultaneous Storytime over the radio.

“We were very excited to get permission

to read the book on RoxFM,” Miss Har-grave said. “Th is makes us the fi rst library to do so.

“It’s a good opportunity for anyone to share a great Australian picture book.”

Th is was the 14th year the event, run by the Australian Library and Information Association as part of Library and Infor-mation week, has been held and the Rox-by Downs library has been joining in for a

number of years now too. “It is a lovely book and it is a great con-

cept,” Miss Hargrave said. “We did it with the children last year and

it was really popular.”Th e book was shown via projector in the

cinema in Roxby Downs and Miss Har-grave said the children were excited about viewing the book in a diff erent way.

Th e R o x b y D o w n s Community Club is going against the grain, with the

recent release of a new, healthy eating menu.

Resident chef, Roy Showgun has recently moved to Roxby Downs and has brought culinary infl u-ences from Melbourne as his in-spiration.

“Th e healthy eating market is very big within Australia, so it’s a big money maker, and I know that in Roxby, healthy eating is not really a big thing - it’s mainly unhealthy, hearty and cheap,” Roy told Th e Monitor last week.

“So pretty much, myself and Mel are trying to make a diff erence.”

Hoping to instil change in menus right across Roxby – Roy explained most hospitality establishments in town off ered much of the same – typically ‘pub’ type meals, such as schnitzels and steaks.

“But now, myself and Mel, we are doing more – we’re changing how people eat and live which is healthy eating. So that’s what in-spired us to create this new menu,” Roy explained.

A popular ingredient that has been added to the menu, quinoa, is a ‘super-food’ seed known for

its high complete protein and es-sential amino acids content. It is also a good source of dietary fi bre, magnesium and calcium.

Although Th e Club are focus-sing on introducing high nutrition ingredients and reducing high car-bohydrate options – such as chips and mashed potato, they are still off ering old favourites.

“We can’t just smash healthy eating within the entire menu – people are gonna be like, ‘nah that’s not for us’. (But) Once when they see one person, and the next person, then they’ll all want to change,” Roy said.

“Then they feel a lot better. They’re waking up a lot better, feeling better, and looking better. So why not have one establishment making that change, which is us.”

And it seems the change is being widely welcomed by the people of Roxby – with the opening night featuring the new menu on May 14 exceeding expectations.

“Th e fi rst night was really good. Quinoa is actually the hottest thing at the moment on our menu and social media. Sashimi oysters, that’s another thing as well, that’s another hot thing,” Roy said.

Roy’s recommendation? The Quinoa, Kale and Raw Vegetable Salad. A gluten free and vegetarian option, the salad features quinoa,


The fi rst person to be buried in the Roxby Downs cem-etery will be buried next

week, but it is not who you would expect.

Comedian Mickey D volun-teered to be the fi rst person bur-ied in the cemetery when he and Damian Callinan rolled into town this week for their show Road Trip.

Th e comedy duo arrived in town on Monday afternoon and had 48 hours to put together material for their show tonight.

“We enjoy anything that is asked as a challenge,” Callinan said.

“Also anything that is action based or anything that involves Mickey getting wet.”

Callinan said it was difficult to try and fit everything in to the 48 hours and get around to everything suggested as well as having to make decisions on the fl y on what they think will make for funny material.

“We have limited time to do everything and we would love to meet with everyone that is sug-gested but we just don’t have time,” Callinan said.

“We are pretty much running to the show and getting in not having

seen the slide show yet.“Hamish, our camera man, is

basically editing all night.” But Callinan said it is good fun

and said a lot of his comedy acts are based in rural settings.

“We wouldn’t have conceived the idea if we didn’t like it,” Call-inan said.

“It is nothing like anything either of us have ever done before.

“But it’s diff erent and we enjoy it.”

The concept of using materi-al from the audiences own town came from a conversation Callinan had with Mickey a number of years ago, with both agreeing people liked watching shows when they were able to laugh about things they could relate to.

Th is will be the third time Call-inan has visited Roxby Downs so the duo have a few ideas on some of the material they are going to use.

Th e Roxby Downs leg of the trip will be the pair’s fourth stop and their fi nal before their last show in Port Augusta on Friday.

Th e show begins at 8pm tonight at the Roxby Leisure Centre and tickets can still be purchased from the Information Centre.

Funding for the Roxby Council’s budget shortfalls from the State Government

and BHP Billiton will remain at $600,000 for the next two years – half of what Council submitted for in the previous 2012/13 fi nancial year.

Roxby Council applied for $1.2 million ahead of the 12/13 fi nan-cial year but received only half of that amount because of State Government and BHP Billiton cutbacks, according to the recent-ly released 2014/15 Roxby Council draft business plan.

Previous jointly funded amounts from the two indenture partners h ave included $1,600,000 (2008/09) and $1,450,000 (2007/08).

Th e plan, which was released for public submissions earlier this month, outlined six major considerations, including BHP Billiton Mine and Town Expan-sion, Indenture Considerations, Municipal Defi cit Funding, Roxby Factors, Other Factors and Gen-eral Considerations.

Municipal Defi cit Funding ex-plained the State Government and BHP Billiton’s role in yearly budget approval.

“Th e council’s budget is also re-quired to be submitted to the State Government and BHP Billiton for

approval and any shortfall in the funding of Council’s Municipal Operations,” the document says.

“Historically, the amount fund-ed has also declined in actual and real terms; in part due to fi nan-cial pressures being placed on the State Government. Th e amount is well below the local cost of oper-ating in Roxby Downs.

“Council has been advised that it is unlikely that the underlying fi nancial situation for either in-denture partner (BHP Billiton and the State Government) will dra-matically improve in the near fu-ture and as a result the State Gov-ernment and BHP Billiton have agreed that they would like to see defi cit funding kept at the 2012/13 approved level of $600,000 for at least the next two years, un-less special circumstances arise warranting the consideration of a request for approval of a larger defi cit amount.”

A number of high profi le com-munity projects have been fl agged in the 2014/15 Roxby

Council draft annual business plan – including improvements to playgrounds and ovals.

Under the ‘items under review’ section of the draft plan – released earlier this month – Roxby Council explains a number of community projects were deferred with the can-cellation of the Olympic Dam mine expansion in 2012.

“BHP Billiton’s decision two years ago to defer the Olympic Dam Mine has now meant that various works and actions that had then been de-ferred for future years or reduced in scope would now need to be ad-dressed, as deferral can no longer be justifi ed,” the document states.

“After a signifi cant down-sizing the fortunes of BHP Billiton have consol-idated and are now on the improve. Accordingly various improvements are considered to be required to ad-vance.”

Some notable items under review include bitumen footpath replace-ment, playgrounds and ovals.

While a major redevelopment of the town oval is on the cards, un-known movements from BHP Billiton means to an extent, major works will still be deferred. Future design, loca-tion and active partnership with users and projected demand are also con-tributing factors.

“Recent eff orts to improve the con-dition of both ovals - including instal-lation of new lighting and provision of upgraded cricket facilities have been well received,” the document states.

It also stated a review of sport and recreation has commenced, with a report expected early 2015.

More recently highlighted issues with footpaths have also been on Rox-by Council’s radar, according to the plan. “Sections of bitumen footpath in the older area of town identifi ed as desirable to upgrade to concrete a number of years ago. Actions taken to date will see these works completed during the year,” the document states.

A shade sale for the Lions Park Skate Park, wider Lions Park rede-velopment and improvements to play-grounds, including Curdimurka are also included – dependent on funding allocations, grants and review with stakeholders.

Sport and recreation and community services are set to be the big winners

in the 2014/15 fi nancial year, with large percentages of the budget allocated to the popular demographics.

A proposed 14.6 per cent has been allocated to Sport and Rec-reation in the draft plan – out-lining the key tasks as including the operation and maintenance of the Leisure Centre, tennis and netball courts, swimming pool, community ovals and associated buildings, support to the Sport and Recreation Forum plus broad-er recreation assistance to local sporting organisations.

Developing sports programs and seeking funding assistance from the Department of Recrea-tion and Sport to assist local clubs with increased participation, im-proved governance and adminis-tration are among key objectives.

Community services – which include the operation of the youth centre, community library, audito-

rium, cinema/theatrette and art gallery, community development support to Community Board and Forums - received a proposed 15.8 percent.

Key objectives within the com-munity service banner include continuing to develop a local an-nual program of events, employ an Arts and Cultural Develop-ment Offi cer in conjunction with Country Arts SA and support youth development, participation and wellbeing.

Other proposed budget allo-cations include 26.5 per cent to electricity supply, 11.8 per cent to water supply and seven per cent to infrastructure.

‘CSI’ road safety education approach WRITTEN BY MILLIE THOMAS

Y ear 10 students in Roxby Downs will be able to apply lessons learnt in school to real

life situations, with the roll out of a new road safety education package in June.

Developed by the South Australian Police’s Sergeant John Illingworth, the program is aimed at teens that are yet

to begin driving – and hopes to help the young adults apply lessons learnt in school to real situations.

“Th e package, called ‘Crash Scene In-vestigation’ or CSI, uses practical road safety examples to explain Newton’s Laws of Motion and other scientifi c for-mulae included in the current Year 10 curriculum,” Sgt Illingworth explained last week.

Structured in two components, the package, which will be delivered on


Joining Th e Monitor Newspaper’s editorial team may tick one box for Patrick Glover, but that’s not

all the new journalist has to off er.

Adelaide born and bred Pat, Paddy, G-love or Glover took a position at Th e Monitor to further his journalism career, but it is not his fi rst country posting.

He recently spent six months work-ing for the Port Lincoln Times on the State’s West Coast.

His four years of Bachelor of Arts (Communication and Media Manage-ment) and Graduate Diploma (Jour-nalism) make for an impressive start to his career accomplishments – but its sports journalism that Pat really wants to work on.

“My love of sport is what drew me to journalism,” he explained last week. “I have always enjoyed looking at sports more than just the result, looking at stats and analysing games or races.

“Growing up watching a lot of sport, listening to the commentators I thought that would be a great job and my pas-sion for journalism developed from there.”

Pat’s ultimate career aspiration is to become purely a sports journalist, following his sport of choice – cricket.

“I would love to become a sports journalist and follow the Australian cricket team around on their tours or report on AFL during winter and crick-et during summer here in Australia, or just covering any major international/

national sport,” he said.In the meantime, Pat is expanding

his knowledge in the industry – after learning about farming and fi shing in Port Lincoln, and now broaching min-ing in Roxby.

“I have only been here since last weekend but from what I have seen of it and the people I have met, it is a very compact town with a relaxed feel to it, with some very friendly and inviting people,” Pat said.

“I am keen to broaden my knowledge base and am intrigued to learn more about mining and with mining so big here in Roxby, what better place to learn about it.”

Pat also plans to bring his love for cricket to the fore at the start of the 2014/2015 season.

“As well as helping to contribute to Th e Monitor, I am looking forward to getting stuck into the cricket season. Being a keen cricketer I am keen to bring my cricketing ability and knowl-edge to one of the local clubs.

“I am also a bit of a fi tness freak and gym junkie: hitting up the gym as much as I can during the week or going for runs.”

Overall, Pat is just looking forward to getting to know his new community, and growing his passion and knowl-edge in his chosen career. “My passion for journalism continues to grow with every day I work in the fi eld and I am looking forward to getting to know the Roxby community and settle into my roll at Th e Monitor as quickly as pos-sible,” he said.

Patrick puts runs on the board in Roxby

Th ursday, June 19 and Friday, June 20, includes an address to parents and three lessons to students the following day.

“Students will be involved in a science lesson which deals with principles of momentum, inertia and the coeffi cient of friction – all of which are used in the recreation of a crash scene,” Sgt Illingworth explained. “Th e second lesson will review ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program) crash-test footage which will demonstrate the forces at work during a vehicle collision.”

Students will also be given the opportunity to re-construct crash scenes in the second lesson, and in the third will test their driving ability in a driving simulator.

“Students can test their driving skills at the wheel of a virtual reality simulator, attached to a real vehicle, which demonstrates to students how easily driver distraction can contribute to road crashes,” Sgt Il-lingworth said.

Sgt Illingworth fi rst thought of the idea when the introduction of road safety into the curriculum was brought up at his daughter’s parent/teacher interview at school in 2012.

“I later approached the science teacher with a view to putting together a package to help teachers discuss road crashes from a science perspective. From there the package has evolved to what we are now off ering in 2014,” he said.

He hoped students, who are yet to experience driv-ing and road conditions, would retain some of the information in the education package when going through the various stages of driving.

Issues discussed involve occupant safety, vehicle choice, hazard perception and the use of science to explain the impact.

“As a result of attending this presentation it is hoped that the Year 10 students will have a much better ap-preciation of the risks involved in driving and that the choice of vehicle is also important,” Sgt Illingworth said. “Th e students will also realise that science has far reaching implications in their lives and is not a ‘waste of time’ studied in high school.

“It is important that as many parents, teachers, care givers and emergency service workers attend the evening lecture as possible. Th e information given on this night is invaluable in ensuring that our young drivers stay safe on our roads,” he fi nished.

A driving simulator will be part of the road safety

education package that will visit Roxby in June.

Patrick Glover is keen to settle into Roxby life.

The bin at Woolworths in Roxby Downs collected a van load of food for the RSPCA

shelter in Whyalla.

Shelter manager Andre Sliedrecht said “Th e support of business and the community is vital for the RSPCA to continue its work.”

“Th ese donations help the RSPCA to give animals the best chance they have to fi nd forever homes.

“Th e food donated from Roxby

Downs residents will be used to sup-port our rescue dogs, our animals in rehabilitation and stray animals who are looking for new homes.

“Th e Whyalla shelter receives an-imals from right across the region and the support of the Roxby Downs community is greatly appreciated.”

Th e food was transported to the RSPCA shelter by the Roxby Downs Veterinary Clinic, who works close-ly with the RSPCA to ensure that animals can be rescued and where

possible, found new homes.

Donations make a vital part of the

funding to allow the RSPCA to carry

on their work in providing protec-

S tudents from the Roxby Academy of Dance wowed audiences with their hip

hop performance at the annual Candance for a Cure fundraising event on the weekend.

The event invites prominent dance schools to perform at the En-tertainment Centre in Adelaide as part of a fundraiser for the Cancer Council Australia.

RAD’s were commended for their spirit and choreography on the night. Owner and instructor Lana Chamberlain said she was very proud of her students.

“It was a real fun routine that showcased everybody. Everybody got a chance to shine. It had some humour in it because my boys did their ‘Call Me Maybe’ bit,” Miss Lana explained earlier this week.

“It was just really fun, had lots of tricks in it. It was bright and ener-getic and entertaining, and perfect

for the event because it’s a charity fundraiser for cancer.

“A lot of the comments were that it was nice to see something so re-freshing, light and funny. So I’m really proud.”

Th is year, the students incorpo-rated acrobatics into their routines – including backfl ips, forward hand springs and round off s.

“Having tricks in it adds a bit more pizzazz to it… Th e whole day was amazing,” Miss Lana said.

Th e RAD students returned to their dressing room to a standing ovation from other schools – a move that was a highlight of the night.

“It was such a good atmosphere – everybody just supported each oth-er and all the other dance schools.

“I’m so happy that we do it every year because it’s nice to do some-thing fun,” she fi nished.

Jane Grech, from the Jane Grech Dance Centre posted a public com-mendation on the Roxby Academy of Dance’s Facebook page following

“The w hole day was amazing” – Miss Lana

their performance, highlighting their use of costume, choreography and humour.

“I just wanted to let you know how much I loved your piece last night,” the post reads. “I really enjoyed it… the costumes were eff ective, there was obvious joy and good

humour, the choreography was great and inclusive, giving

everybody a chance to shine.

“(It was) A really great piece that stood out in my mind

for all the right reasons.”

S aint Barbara participated in the Port Pirie Diocese Catholic Education week

for the fi rst time last week with the school th rilled with the success of the week.

Th e event which ran from Friday May 16 to Th ursday May 22 was aimed at celebrating the schools catholic education and gave the school the chance to show what they have been working on within the school, parish and the com-munity.

“It was a really positive week for all involved,” St Barbara’s principal Tony Hayes said.

“It (Catholic Education Week) is a good initiative where we high-light the importance of catholic education and the relationships that come from it.

“Th ere was a positive example of this (forming relationships) from a community perspective with all

the help they provided.St. Barabara’s kicked off Catho-

lic Education Week on Friday May 16 with an assembly run by the schools foundation and the schools Year 1/2 classes.

Saturday May 17 saw the school take part in Market Day promot-ing social justice and other positive aspects of the school.

Th e choir took part in those fes-tivities singing a number of songs for the public while the schools mini missionaries demonstrated social justice in action.

Th e children got into the week even further on Monday when the student voice organised a whole school liturgy.

But Mr Hayes was particular-ly happy with Wednesday’s open night with a number of new par-ents visiting the school to have a look around and join in some of the activities the teachers had put on.

“This was the first time we had run anything like this (open

night),” Mr Hayes said. “It was good the number of par-

ents that came through the school on the open night and there were a lot of new parents that came to check it out as well.

“To have so many new parents come and visit was a positive for the school.”

Th e week was concluded with an action packed Th ursday where the children wore casual clothes with a gold coin donation to raise money for Caritas; participated in the World’s Largest Morning Tea, which was run by the Student voice; and joined in with ‘Port Pi-rie Switches Off ’ which involved the school switching off as much power as possible to help make a diff erence to the environment.

Mr Hayes said the schools cele-brations of the week will only get bigger as the school participates in more Catholic Education Weeks and gets the hang of what to do during the week.

Four students from Saint Barbara’s have been selected in the state SAPSASA Football

Carnival that will take place in Adelaide from May 26 to May 30.

Bailey Chamberlain (Year 6), Riley Holder (Ywear 6), Coby Seery (Year 7) and Lachlan Geraghty are the boys that have been chosen to represent the Northern team as part of the SAPSASA carnival.

“We congratulate the boys that have been selected from SAPSASA to represent their zone as part of the Northern team,” St Barbara’s princi-pal Tony Hayes said.

“We wish them all the best in the carnival and hope they are able to display their opportunity to shine in their talents.” BY PATRICK GLOVER

S aint Barbara’s became a dance fl oor on Wednesday, May 7, as the school held a school

disco during lunch time.

Th e event was organised by the stu-dent body and was aimed at develop-ing friendships in the hope of making the school a better place.

“All who attended had a great time,” St Barbara’s principal Tony Hayes said.

“Th is is another example of com-munity in action as our student voice empowers our students to make our school a better place through devel-oping relationships and positive ac-tivities.

“Th anks to our student leaders and teachers for continuing to provide opportunities for our community to prosper.” BY PATRICK GLOVER

L adies of Roxby Downs – brace yourselves.

Following persistent local request, the Rox-by Downs Community Club has brought back the ultimate ‘ladies’ night’ to the Far North region.

Women of all ages flocked to the Roxby Downs Community Club last year to see ‘Aussie Hunks’ from Ad-elaide take to the stage, with this year’s event is expected to be a sell-out.

Th ere will be drinks specials; there will be table service… and there will be night long en-tertainment from boys from Bodyheat Australia – starting from 9pm this Friday night.

“(It’s) a fun night out, with a couple of games, routines and heaps of smiles with a fun night out! We base our show on fun,” said Bodyheat Australia Manager Jason Bruce.

Mr Bruce explained Bodyheat liked to ‘spice it up’, this year planning to bring men of many talents to the fore.

“These guys here,

they’re buff young guys,” Mr Bruce told Th e Mon-itor. “Two of the guys are personal trainers; one’s an actor as well. He fl ies from Sydney to Melbourne doing extra work – movies and stuff like that.”

A strict five-day-a-week training regime and low carb/high pro-tein diet keeps the Body-heat boys in optimal condition.

A Community Club representative said the night is ideal for a fun girls’ night out.

“The room will be strictly girls only – with tables set up for meals, and some great shots and champagne on the menu,” he told Th e Mon-itor last week.

“It’s a chance for all the girls to get together, have a few drinks and enjoy each other’s com-pany!”

Th e room will be open from 7pm for meals and drinks, with the Body-heat show starting at 9pm. Tickets are $30 if purchased before the event, or $40 on the night.

For more information contact the Community Club on 8671 0053.

in the workshops that will help shape the future of Roxby Downs. Community Consultation Workshops are taking place on Thursday, May 29, 5.30-8.30pm or Friday, May 30, 12noon – 3pm. Please register your attendance by emailing [email protected] or call 8671 0010. We look forward to working with you!

Do not reverse into car parks

Roxby community members are invited to attend community consultation sessions on

Thursday, 29 and Friday, 30 May, which will provide an opportunity to discuss ideas and suggestions in support of the development of the Roxby Downs town centre.

Th e proposed Linking Roxby Project - redeveloping the cultural and leisure precinct - will be placed on hold until after a review of feedback received in the community consultation sessions, amendments of existing plans and the tendering process completed to establish the real costs of the proposed develop-ments.

“Roxby Council invites and encourag-es the community to attend these con-sultation workshops, as they will provide the community with an opportunity to contribute to shaping the future devel-opment of Roxby Downs,” Roxby Coun-cil Administrator, Bill Boehm, said.

Th e consultation process will be led

by a team of independent facilitators, who will guide the participants through open conversations that will capture the community’s views on the topics which include:

Linking Roxby ProjectFacilities for children and youthLocal businessMain street revitalisationSport and recreationInfrastructure and assets

ASSESSING PROJECT PRIORITIESRecent feedback received through the

public meeting and consultation period for the proposed ‘Linking Roxby Pro-ject’ indicated the community had a sig-nifi cant amount of feedback to give on the Linking Roxby Project, as well as a number of other priorities, such as major projects, processes and infrastructure that Council had in part already identi-fi ed within Roxby Downs.

“Many of these items have already been captured in ongoing Council plan-

ning, and we look forward to working with the community to get the best outcomes from these ongoing projects,” Mr Boehm

said. “Council is seeking a deeper level of understanding and engagement with the community on these important issues.”

“Feedback on the proposed Linking Roxby Project has been considered and, in light of community comments, the de-signs and scope of work for the proposed redevelopment are now being revisited. Whilst a provision for the project has been made in the Draft Annual Budget 2014/15, this project will only proceed if other key projects, for which strategic planning and stakeholder consultation has already commenced, can still be ac-commodated,” said Mr Boehm.

CONSULTATION OUTCOMESAll feedback captured within the com-

munity consultation sessions will be col-lated and produced into an independent report, which will assist and inform the Draft 2014/15 Annual Business Plan, which is currently out for community consultation until 5pm, Th ursday 5th June 2014.

Email: [email protected] close 5pm on 27 June 2014.L ast Sunday volunteers met at the

community garden on Pioneer Drive to plant a variety of arid

smart trees and shrubs and to learn about various forms of composting.

Last year the Community Garden Forum received a grant from the Foun-dation for Rural Regional Renewal to implement composting at the commu-nity garden and to provide information and a series of workshops to Roxby res-idents of all ages about this important method of recycling.

Composting has many benefi ts both for the environment and for gardens. Up to 60 per cent of general waste can be composted at home which signifi -cantly reduces the amount of waste that goes to landfi ll. If this material goes to landfi ll it ferments releasing methane gas, a signifi cant contributor to climate change.

On the other hand in a compost sys-tem, microorganisms can eff ectively

work to break down the organic mate-rial into a rich soil product that locks in the carbon gases.

If you are wondering what you can do personally to reduce carbon emissions contributing to climate change, then think about composting! Compost is also a fantastic fertiliser for plants and helps retain moisture which can save you signifi cantly on your water bill from garden watering.

In addition to this community com-post workshop, members of the group are conducting workshops for a range of school classes, to the kindy and cub scouts.

For more information about the work of the Roxby Community Garden or to learn more about composting contact Patrik Ibele 86710168.

If you would like to book a free com-posting workshop for your organisation contact [email protected].

Despite a quiet crowd on Saturday night - there was action a plenty on the track.


Fourteen year old Jack Dalgleish lived out one of his dreams last weekend when he was given the

opportunity to play alongside some of his role models for Roxby Districts Miners Football Club.

Jack was injected into the game fi ve minutes into the fi nal quarter with im-mediate eff ect kicking two goals to help extend his side’s victory to 134 points.

“It was heaps good,” Jack said.“It was a great experience and was

good to play with some of my role mod-els.”

Jack has been playing junior football for the Bulldogs as well as training with the Miners, where he has not missed a training, in the aim that he would get a game with the senior side after the Far North Football League lifted age restrictions on juniors being able to play in senior sides this season.

“They (the club) have been heaps supportive of me and helped me out a lot,” Jack said.

“Th ey invited me and a couple of oth-er juniors out to train with them and gave us all our training gear.”

Th ere has been debate and concern

about this new rule but father Mark

‘Dags’ Dalgleish said he had a word to

Miners coach Richard Prosser before

the game and planned out the whole

thing.

“I sat down with the coach on Friday

night and we mapped out the game plan

(in regards to Jack playing),” Dalgeish

said.

“And it worked out perfectly.”

Jack admitted to being nervous after

fi nding out he had been named in the

team a few nights before the game but

the excitement of reaching one of his

goals outweighed the nerves, resulting

in his two goals.

An A Grade game adds to the list

of impressive football feats Jack has

achieved having recently attended an

elite under 14 West Adelaide squad

which trained three times during the

school holidays.

He is hoping his performance with

this squad will lead to selection in the

elite under 16 West Adelaide squad

next year and one day lead to being se-

lected into the senior West Adelaide

SANFL side.

In fi ne sunny condi-tions Andamooka Roos, looking for

their first win of the season, took on the Hornridge Magpies in a very important clash for both clubs.

In a high quality fi rst quarter the Magpies started best and looked to be taking control of the game with Schwartz-,Tuthill and Lynch were moving the ball well in the absence of key for-ward Harman.

However, the improved Roos showed a lot of courage with key player Fisher in everything.

They managed to get on top of the Hornridge midfield and in an en-tertaining quarter went to the change with a fi ve point lead.

Some stern words from the Hornridge coach at the change, asking players to be more accountable seemed to do the trick in the second quarter with Hornridge slamming on fi ve goals for the quarter while holding the Roos to a measly two points had the Magpies in a sound position at the half time break.

Grosser was starting to control the middle, giv-ing Millard first use of the ball.

Up forward Schwartz was continuing to play well with Webb taking some good marks and Grosser drifting into the forward lines to create some scoring pressure.

For the Roos, Fisher continued to be con-structive with Munro given the task of trying to curb his infl uence and Schipper was starting to fi nd some good form.

Th e third quarter was similar to the fi rst with both sides scoring easi-ly from some good work around the ground, none better than Fisher burst-ing through the middle from a ruck it out and hitting his forward with a fantastic inspirational play which surely lifted the spirits of the Roos, heading into the last change giving them some belief that they could pull off a come from behind upset.

Players were tiring un-der the warmth of the day and fi tness looked like it would play a key role in the last quarter.

Th e last quarter was a struggle with the Mag-pies having higher quali-ty players controlling the match to run out com-fortable winners.

Th ey had more winners over the ground and look to be improving every week.

The Roos were rely-ing on too few to do too much, but with a few more weeks will be very competitive.

The umpires did a fantastic job under very warm conditions with the new umpire this year in Pike doing a great job under the watchful eye of the more experienced Daddow.

In what turned out to be a stinking hot day up at the ‘Snake Pit’ at Coober Pedy,

Olympic Dam made the jour-ney north with confi dence in the side they had to take away to bring the game home from the Saints side.

Unfortunately at quarter time Olympic Dam were still on the bus! Coober Pedy were winning centre clearances and had two quick goals on the board before the Devils knew where they were!

Lynch and Warren were everywhere in the fi rst getting the ball quickly into Henry who was well held all day by Hoop-er but they had their crumbers snapping at his heels, fi nishing off their good work.

Th e Devils had plenty of shots on goal but couldn’t slot them through the big ones and ended up trailing at quarter time three goals to one, to one goal to six points. Th is was to turn out to be the diff erence at the end of the day.

After a healthy ear bashing at quarter time by coach Sum-merton the Devils came out in the second quarter and started putting majors on the board through harder running from Shaw, Green and Dix in the middle, with Walsh marking everything and Hewett gath-ering plenty of the ball on the wing and sending it deep to Montgomerie who slotted two for the quarter.

Although the Devils put on four goals for the quarter the Saints were still very much in the game kicking two them-selves with Lionel doing plenty up forward. Half time scores saw the Devils up by four points.

Th e third quarter saw anoth-er even contest with neither side really being able to break away. Th e Devils had six more scoring shots for the quarter but couldn’t capitalise with some easy shots on goal gone begging between Summerton,

Montgomerie, Shaw and Green all missing goals you would usu-ally pencil in.

Th e Saints on the other hand made every post a winner hav-ing all their four shots on goal majors with Lionel again dam-aging and Henry getting himself into the game with a couple.

T h r e e q u a r t e r t i m e scores were nine goals to three, to Coober Pedy to eight goals, 13 behinds to Olympic Dam.

Th e stage was set for an epic last quarter.

Summerton urged his boys for a massive last quarter ef-fort as the game was there to be won! Th e Devils responded and came out of the blocks with a bang and put the fi rst major on the board.

This should have been the spark to keep the Devils fi ring but it wasn’t to be! Th e Saints kept winning clearance after clearance and Churchill, Lynch, Murray and Lionel were inspi-rational for the up and running saints.

They put on the next two goals and there was four points in it. With fi ve minutes to go Summerton marked about 35 out on a slight angle and had a shot to put the Devils in front.

Unfortunately for the Devils the coach couldn’t take care of what he’s been known for in the past and sprayed it much to his disgust! Th is was to be the story of the day for the Devils, poor kicking for goal and around the ground, not taking their chances when it counts and Summerton would be asking his players if they are fair dinkum about their season or are just happy to let it slip by?

Full credit must go to the Coober Pedy Saints who were fantastic and are playing great team football.

When they sealed the deal with two majors in the last two minutes the home crowd told the story. Well done Coober Pedy. Final scores Coober Pedy 13.7.85 Olympic Dam 9.6.70.

Hornridge vs Andamooka Olympic Dam vs Coober Pedy

COOBER PEDY:A very spirited

game, very tense and

tight for three quarters. A player generated last quarter effort sealed the victory in a high pressure match.- Carmelo Crisa

OLYMPIC DAM:Blew our

chances early and it cost us the game.

Poor disposals let us down again. Great effort

by the Coober Pedy team.- Dale Summerton

HORNRIDGE:Good four quarters of

footy. Players backed themselves.

Ran in numbers and did the one percenters.-

Shane Mitchell

ANDAMOOKA:Good start.

Outplayed in the second

half but credit to the players

for not giving in. Fitness and injuries are still a

concern.- Craig Wyatt

Coaches comments

There was action a plenty in both games of senior footy last weekend, with Coober Pedy

M iners A Grade put more than just a spanner in the works when they

defeated Olympic Dam by 22 goals in last week’s netball competition.

After a strong start Miners took control of the game and by the end of the third quarter they were almost double OD’s score, 49 – 29.

OD sorely missed Claire Mun-yard in defence, after she left the court bloody and bruised fol-lowing an epic tumble. A match fi lled with injury times showed the well-oiled machine that is the Miners’ mid-court, even af-ter Kelsey Weckert injured her knee and had to move positions.

The clash of the favourites concluded with Miners 63 to OD 41.

Andamooka A grade come out on top after a close match against Hornridge, 47 – 44.

Jaimee Langdon and Ta-lia Glover from Andamooka worked the goal circle well and fought hard to gain possession of the ball, superbly matched at the other end by Hornridge shooters Amanda Giles and Madison Evans.

Andamooka grabbed the op-portunity to take the lead in the second quarter, 27 – 23, and fought hard to keep it for the

remainder of the game.Hornridge B Grade defeat-

ed Andamooka 64 – 28. The combined eff orts of Hornridge shooters Tammy Feltus and Jes-sica Hassett proved diffi cult for the Andamooka defence.

Tori McGauchie as keeper for Hornridge put pressure on Andamooka goalie Karen Weg-ner, providing spectators with superb contests for the ball throughout the game.

Miners B Grade and OD com-peted in a yo-yo match that re-sulted in a draw at 45 all. Meg-an Crawford, OD, once again showed her consistency on the court with a strong performance in goal defence. Miners’ wing at-tack Renee Wurfel and centre Ashlie Ali played a hard game moving the ball through centre court.

Hornridge Pink C Grade de-feated OD Yellow 55 – 28. Horn-ridge Pink came out strong in the fi rst quarter taking the lead by 11 goals. Although OD Yel-low tried to fi ght back Horn-ridge Pink found their stride with Maddi Rhodes and Kath-erine Folland in the goals.

Hornridge Green C Grade defeated Miners White by 14 goals. Rhij Paulaskas and Renee Anderson played a strong game in the goal circle for Hornridge Green. A notable mention needs to go out for Gemma Th omas from Miners White who not only played a different posi-

Blood, sweat and scoreboard upsets

tion nearly every quarter, but played them well. Even though Miners White fought hard to shorten the score difference Hornridge Green came out on top 39 – 25.

OD Green C Grade over-came Miners Red 58 - 48. Mi-chelle Davis and Sally Gard-ner-Burton worked hard in the

Miners Red defence, though

it was not enough to keep OD

Green from taking the lead

in the second quarter 29 -22.

OD Green’s Joanne Waye-Hill

played a strong goal shooter,

while at the other end Kelly

Reid kept Miners Red out as

goal keeper.

Coaches in the Far North Football League will have a diff erent view of football

games after the June long week-end with the Roxby Town Oval to have coach boxes installed.

Th e idea for two new coaches’ boxes for local football has been in the pipelines since last year and has only just come to fruition.

“It is fantastic for footy,” Far North Football League president Henry Andryszczak said.

“We have been waiting a long time and we are still debating on a location but they will be installed by next week.

“We are very pleased it (install-ing the coach’s boxes) is finally going ahead because it is long overdue.”

Although a final location has

yet to be decided on, Andryszczak said a decision will be made and installation will begin next Mon-day, June 2.

Due to there being no local foot-ball on the Long Weekend on June 7, 8 and 9 the builders will have enough time to complete the job of digging up the areas, pouring the concrete pads, allowing it to harden and then bolting the boxes into place.

The boxes have already been here for two weeks, having been used for the Alive and Kicking Soc-cer match recently.

“We pushed to make sure it would be here in time for the soc-cer,” Roxby Downs Council Works Manager Peter Keller said.

Th e coaches’ boxes will remain in place at the oval all year round and will be unbolted and reposi-tioned when Alive and Kicking returns next year.

New coaches boxes for Far North Football League

MAIN: One of the two new coaches boxes to be installed

at the Roxby Town Oval over the coming week.

RIGHT: The current coaches boxes that are in place

around the Roxby Town Oval and will soon be replaced.

LEFT: Far North Football League President Henry

Andryszczak is happy with the new coaches boxes, which he says are long overdue.
