More local jobs could be lost as BHP Billiton Olympic Dam goes

through the process of fur-ther reducing costs.

Responding to questions in writing about the cost cutting last week, BHP Billiton did not offi cially confi rm or deny any job cuts, but Olympic Dam As-set President Darryl Cuzzubbo said the company would fol-low their “normal processes and consult with the people impacted”.

“In our bid to be as cost ef-fi cient as possible, we are also looking at increased labour productivity,” he said.

“Key to this will be how we can rebalance our resources to safely increase our copper output.

“We are considering all op-tions as we want to minimise the impact that this may have on our workforce.”

Th e global mining giant was forced to again reduce costs due to recent signifi cant falls in commodity prices.

“We have a team in place looking at how we can accel-erate the implementation of cost reduction initiatives,” Mr Cuzzubbo said.

“At Olympic Dam, cost re-duction is critical as it allows us to fund the investment needed to incrementally increase the mine footprint which in turn, will increase our production.”

Th e comments follow the an-nouncement that BHP Billiton would be cutting around 90 jobs at their Leinster operation in Western Australia.

A BHP spokesperson also told Th e Western Australian last week that work on one of WA’s most promising Nickel discoveries, Venus, had also been suspended.

Local 10-year-old Tamika Berryman has won six ribbons out of her seven events at the recent Eudunda show

pony competition, including the overall Horse and Handler/Rider award.

Th is was Tamika and pony Felix’s fi rst time competing at an event, but despite the early nerves both settled and enjoyed a successful day of competition.

“Th ey were both a bit nervous at the start, Felix was jumping around and playing with the other pony’s but after that they both set-tled down,” Tamika’s mum Peta Berryman said.

“Once Tamika got the ribbon in the fi rst event, she started to get confi dence and she settled down which settled Felix down.”

Tamika has been riding and training with Felix on and off for six to eight months. What makes these wins even more remarkable is the fact she had a bad fall from Felix only a few months ago which put her in hospital.

Th ere was no serious injury and Tamika continued to prepare herself for the event.

Tamika fi nished third in the Led Handler category, and second in the best Pony Trick – where she performed an around the world fi nished with a backfl ip on Felix.

She also came fi rst in the Cutest Pony cat-egory, second in Fancy Dress, third in the Walk, Trot and Lead race and fourth in the Sack Race.

“One of the judges fell in love with Tamika and Felix,” Mrs Berryman said.

“She said the reason she awarded them the Best Overall Horse and Handler/Rider was because her (Tamika) and her pony tried really hard all day, and they worked the best together.”

Mrs Berryman said the family were all excited about Tamika’s achievement at the show and were constantly sending updates back to the people at the local pony club, especially Tamika’s teacher Lianne Crowther – who couldn’t make it to the event.

Felix has now gone off to a paddock for the summer and will return next year when Mrs Berryman is hoping the Pony Club can get a group of riders to join Tamika and Felix at some events.

Mrs Berryman and Tamika said they would like to thank the pony club who really got behind Tamika as a young junior rider .

WRITTEN BY PATRICK GLOVER

D avid Hallett celebrated his 25th year at the Roxby Council last

Monday – still in the same job he originally moved to Roxby Downs for a quarter of a century ago.

Back then things were a lot diff erent. Only four people worked at Roxby Council.

“I moved here in 1989 from Wudinna for a job with council,” Mr Hallett said.

“I was the electrical man-ager then as well, so I am still in the same post but the po-sition has defi nitely changed.

“Roxby Downs is a good place and my job is good be-cause there is a lot of variety – all sorts of things to do and always something new.”

The 61-year-old recalled fi rst moving to Roxby when

there was just 2500 people and since then the town’s population has almost dou-bled.

Th e number of power me-tres has also tripled in his time starting off at 600. Mr Hallett used to be able to cov-er this himself in three days. Now there are around 2000 meters - a good indication of the town’s growth, Mr Hallett said. While he has seen a lot of people come and go from town he said it is a good place to be and he couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.

“The job’s good pay and we’ve got a good little group of friends. Th ere’s no need to go anywhere,” he said.

Th e job has always given him plenty to do. At one stage, early in his time in Roxby Downs, Mr Hallett was responsible for manag-ing water, power … and dog control.

For eight to nine years it was just Mr Hallett and one other person dealing with all the issues council deals with today.

“If one of us went some-where, the other had to stay in the offi ce,” Mr Hallett said.

“One of us always had to be on call as well.

“I started off in mainly wa-ter and sewerage, but have come to know a bit about everything. Th ere has been a lot of diversity in this job.”

Having already been in Roxby Downs for 25 years, Mr Hallett now has his eyes set on his 30 year milestone.

“I hope to make it through the next fi ve years,” he said.

“I’m just going to keep on keeping on and hopefully I’ll be having another presenta-tion for my 30 years.”

After that Mr Hallett said he will look to retire to a place down in Adelaide.

The number and strength of power sockets on the Richardson Place grassed area has nearly tripled to allow fore more events in the main

street.

Th e issue was raised following the World Food and Music Festival recently where it was brought to coun-cil’s attention by some of the participants.

“We want signifi cant cooking things in the main street and it was hard to provide supply to the main street via extensions,” Electrical Services Manager David Hallett said.

“So we have put more solid mains into the road island with decent power, I call them high powered event boxes.”

Th ere are two of these boxes located on Richardson Place: one near the rotunda and the other behind the war memorial.

Two three phase 32 amplifi er sockets have been in-stalled along with six 15 amplifi er single phase sockets in each of the boxes.

Th ere is also the option of attaching a gen set to the boxes which allow for generators to be hooked up.

“Th is will allow us to cater for more events, allow us to have big bands,” Mr Hallett said.

“We will be able to hold bigger, brighter, fl ashier events.”

Th e installation of the boxes has taken a little over a week to complete but Mr Hallet said they have been in the shed at council for a while, being wired and made ready to drop straight into the main street.

Th e project has cost around $9000 with all the work that has had to be done including the wiring and man-ual labour. Mr Hallett as well as Roxby Council Elec-trical Works Offi cer Peter O’Connor have done the bulk of the work with help from Cowell Electric and MPS – who installed the boxes.

Th e boxes were expected to be fi nished in the past week ready in time for Christmas. Th e high powered event boxes will remain locked and will only be avail-able for events through bookings at council.

1. Swapping business cardIn most Asian countries, a business card represents someone’s pride. Therefore to disrespect the card by folding or just shoving it into your pocket without looking at it is disrespectful to the person who gave the card to you.

2. Lose your shoesIn many countries, particularly in Asia, it is essential to remove your shoes when entering someone’s house. It is totally different from Australia where you can wear the shoes inside someone’s house.

3. Calling elders by first namesIn most Asian countries, it is considered rude or impolite to call older people by their first names. You should refer them by Mr or Mrs. It is also appropriate to call them uncle, aunty, brother or sister for older, non-related acquaintences.

4. Watch your feetIn Indonesia it is considered an insult to point with your feet at another person or to display them in any way for example by resting with your fee up.

5. Chewing GumsDon’t ever chew your gum if you are in Singapore as it has been banned since 1992. The reason is because people grew tired of cleaning the sticky gums from their sidewalk.

6. GiftsIn Japan, it is considered impolite to open the present in front of the giver.

7. Don’t touch my head!Do not ever touch Indonesian and Thai people’s head, as it is considered a big insult.

8. Blowing your noseIn Middle Eastern and Asian countries, blowing one’s nose at a table is considered to be a disgusting behavior. People will frown if they see such a behavior. It is best to clear your nose at a toilet as often as necessary. Blowing your nose is regarded as distasteful and is best kept away from social situations.

9. Unlucky Number 4Number four is considered unlucky in Korea so gifts should not be given in multiples of four. Giving seven of an item is considered lucky.

Police reported a 37-year-old Roxby Downs man after he was allegedly caught driving while disqualifi ed.

Th e man was stopped at 5.45pm, Monday, No-vember 10 on Tutop Street. He was reported and will be summonsed to appear in court at a later date.

Up to 10 positions every six months for two years have been made available at Arid Recovery thanks to the Australian

Government funded Green Army Project.

Th e $525 million project works over four years and provides training and experience to over 15,000 young Australians.

“It is the ideal fi rst step into employment, doing an environment project,” Member for Grey Rowan Ramsey told Th e Monitor.

“Six months of full time, full paid work – it’s some-thing that will look good on your CV.”

Th e project is aimed at people aged 18-25 and Arid Recovery General Manager Kylie Piper said with school and university fi nishing for the year it would be ideal for people straight out of study

“We have done a project like this in the past and that is how we got our fence, so by doing something like this you can be part of something signifi cant,” Ms Piper said.

Successful candidates will be given the opportunity to work with bettongs and bilbies as well as doing maintenance, fencing and monitoring of animals.

Each project will run for six months, approximately 20-24 weeks, requiring 30 hours of work a week.

“Th e arid nature corridor will be an excellent project to continue the work being done by the Arid Recovery Trust in protecting valued and endangered species of native animals and their habitat,” Mr Ramsey said.

With only fi ve and a half paid staff currently working at Arid Recovery, Ms Piper said the extra help will be worth its weight in gold.

“In terms of the amount we can get done it will be huge,” Ms Piper said.

“We could upgrade a whole other reserve and there are so many bettongs, with more people on board, we could move them around a little more and see how they go.”

Not only will the successful candidates get hands on experience, they will also learn about the environment which Mr Ramsey said was vital with all this talk of climate change creeping in.

Th e Arid Recovery project is one of the only ones in the Green Army project and will be open to not just locals but to people all over Australia.

Application forms have been sent out to universi-ties, schools and Complete Personnel and applications will be ongoing with Arid Recovery also looking to start a recruitment drive over the holiday period.

Kindy kids begin transition


I t is the end of the school year and as teachers and students get ready for 2015, local kindergarten children are

enjoying their fi rst taste of school life with reception transition days.

Roxby Downs Area School Junior Prima-ry Teacher Ally Christall said these transi-tion days were important and it was great to see so many excited new faces.

“Th e numbers transitioning this year (63) is by far the largest group within the last fi ve years,” Ms Christall said.

“Th is has been brought about largely due to the ‘One Intake Policy’ which means all children transitioning to school start on

the same fi rst day at the beginning of the school year instead of termly, as previously occurred.”

The transition periods began a few weeks ago and run for fi ve weeks with the last two sessions being all day classes.

Ms Christall said so far there have been a few tears at the fi rst session but both the children and the parents are settling into the routine well.

“Th e process is going smoothly and has been overall well received.

“Naturally for young children with a big step like this there were a few tears - some from the parents and some from children because they didn’t want to leave!

“Morning tea was available for parents while they waited for their children where they could meet other parents and talk

with and ask questions of the Transition team (assistant principal, co-ordinator and counsellor).”

Th e aim of these mornings is to sup-port children and families in their change over from kindergarten to school, making a positive fi rst experience at school and providing a gradual familiarisation with the school, learning, routines, activities and the teacher they will be working with.

Reception teachers for next year include Cathy Grillo, Bev Zeptner and Annette Ohrnberg-Wilson who Ms Christall said were all very skilled reception teachers.

“Transition programs from kindy to school have always been an important feature of junior primary education,” she said.

Ms Grillo reads a book to a group of kindergarten children at transition day recently.

T racey Warneke has been awarded the second ever RoxFM Volunteer of the Year award after 11 years of service to the station.

Former RoxFM Chairperson, now secretary, Jane Gloster said the decision took about a “nano sec-ond” to make due to Tracey’s many years of service, but Mrs Warneke said she was still shocked by the decision.

“I was speechless,” she said.“It was a bit of a shock. I didn’t think I did anything

out of the ordinary, but obviously I made a diff erence.”

Mrs Warneke has been with the station nearly as long as it has been in existence, and has been through many roles at the station, even fi lling in as station manager for a while.

But from what started as simply lending CD’s to the station has blossomed into a much loved hobby.

While the station has been through some change in the past year with a new manager and a new com-puter system, Mrs Warneke has been the stabilising force in the station in a time of change.

But the humble Mrs Warneke said it was not just her work that had helped the station, it was a team eff ort.

Th e award was named the Doran Family Trophy after they won the fi rst award last year, before leaving town, due to all the work they did for the station.

Mrs Gloster said Tracey was a fi tting recipient to receive the award this year.

“It was an honour and I am humbled by this award,” Mrs Warneke said.

“I was more than a little surprised because I was made a life member last year and I didn’t think life members could win these awards.”

Mrs Warneke said being involved with the station has been a great way to make new friends with every-one at the radio station having at least one thing in common: a love for music. She encouraged more volunteers to sign up and become involved.

Th e award was presented last Monday at the Rox-FM AGM which also saw some changes come about at board level.

Senior Sergeant Terry Boylan has taken over as chairperson of the board, Kaye Doyle retained her position as deputy chairperson, Kylie Piper stepped up to the treasurer’s position and Mrs Gloster stepped down to the secretary role.

Kirsten Falt, Deb Price and Kath Messner took out the other positions on the board.

M embers of the public are being asked to con-

sider children before

damaging property after the recently installed soccer goals were vandalised last weekend.

The soccer goals were installed only two

weeks ago and are used by junior soccer players on Tuesday nights for training and Sunday afternoon for games, as well as seniors eight-a-side soccer.

“It stuff s things up for

the kids,” Soccer Co-or-dinator Tony D’Arrigo said.

“It is annoying more than anything. You see soccer goals everywhere you go in Adelaide and they’re not vandalised. Is it just Roxby Downs?

“People need to start taking respect of what they are given, because they aren’t going to re-alise how lucky they are until it is taken away, and by then it’s too late.”

The soccer goals , which are located at on the Roxby Downs School Oval, were bent

from the top and as a re-sult have snapped at the bottom where the posts were held in place.

Mr D’Arrigo said this was not the first time council property had been vandalised, with sprinkler heads being constantly replaced.

“We are very lucky to have a good council, where if we need some-thing we can go to them and if we need it they will give it to us,” he said.

“People need to stop being idiots and not damage the things we have.”

The Tuesday night training session was forced to be an indoor session to protect the post from more damage.

Mr D’Arrigo is hoping the goals will be ready in time for their big parents versus children soccer game in a few weeks, which is usually attended by around 60 people.

The Roxby Downs soccer program has al-ready been successful, with a number of players who started playing here re-locating to Adelaide and being picked up by

a metropolitan club.But the soccer club

cannot continue to do that if there are no soc-cer goals to play with.

“It is all about giving the kids the opportuni-ty,” Mr D’Arrigo said.

“They go here, then they go to Adelaide and from there they hopeful-ly go to a club, which is what we try and do.”

Roxby Council are currently in the process of checking CCTV cam-eras to see if the people responsible for this damage can be identi-fi ed.

TUESDAY 2ND DECEMBER AT 10.00AM


Despite some unpredictable weather a large crowd attended the St Barbara’s

Parish School Country Fair last Friday.

Around 26 stalls were set up throughout the school and the event has already raised more than the Parents and Friends (P&F) committee had expected, with silent auction items still to be counted.

“It was awesome,” P&F commit-tee president Jacqueline Quilliam told Th e Monitor following the event.

“It was huge, we raised more than we thought. It exceeded all expectations.

“We received great support from the public and we’re chuff ed with the way things went.”

Stalls consisted of small busi-

nesses from locally and Adelaide, as well as stalls made by each class.

With rain lingering in Roxby Downs on Friday night, no stalls were affected with most being undercover.

Mrs Quilliam said all the com-ments they had received so far were positive and with a combi-nation of rain and warm condi-tions the humid conditions meant the sponge toss was one of the more popular stalls on the night.

“Th e wrap up we got was really positive – everyone said the food was great and there were plenty of cold drink to compensate for the humid weather,” she said.

“Th e kids had the best time at sponge throwing. Th ey thought it was the most awesome thing.”

The clothing swap also took place at the Country Fair last Fri-day night and was a great success.

More than 60 items of cloth-ing were exchanged with approx-

imately 30 ladies taking part in the swap.

“The feedback throughout the night was very positive, with many people keen for a similar event to happen again next year,” Environment Forum Community Projects Offi cer Anni Walsh said.

“A total of $36 was raised, and this money will be passed on to St. Barbara’s school.”

Despite the success of the swap there were still a few items left which were given to numerous charities.

Mrs Quillmam said the event would not have been possible without all the people that had volunteered their time to get the event ready, especially the parents and families in the P&F commit-tee.

“Thanks also to the Roxby Downs businesses and commu-nity who without this event could not have run,” she said.

Grace Morokai (pictured left) at her fi nal story time, has announced she will be stepping down from her role at the library in the coming weeks after three and a

half years. Elisabeth Gill (pictured right) will also be stepping down from her role at the

library after nearly fi ve years.

The Monitor journalist Patrick Glover is going slightly nuts with his new facial fur.

Th is week Patrick and Th e Monitor team decided to dress Patrick up as a doctor to bring attention to the fact men should get themselves checked regularly for any irregularities.

Patrick is one of hundreds of Australian men who are growing a moustache or beard as part of Movember to help raise awareness of testicular and prostate cancers.

Unpack for a night of laughs

The final Country Arts SA show for 2014 came through

town last week with former Neighbours actor Geoff Paine bring-ing his comedy s how, Unpack This! to the roxbylink auditorium.

A strong crowd attend-ed the show with this be-ing one of the fi nal stops

on the group’s tour.“It was a great show,

lots of fun,” Mr Paine told Th e Monitor follow-ing the show.

“Th e audience seemed to get it (the play), they laughed at the right mo-ments.”

Th e group of perform-ers also got the chance to spend some free time in the town and had en-

joyed their stay.“Everyone is very wel-

coming,” Mr Paine said.“It (the tour) has been

a great vision of South Australia, we have seen so much of it on our travels.”

The show was based on a true story from Mr Paine’s life and is based on an anger management class.

L end Lease has been helping Australians enjoy a better way of life for more than 50 years, building

beautiful masterplanned communities. Th rough careful planning, Lend Lease give

their communities the kind of friendly feeling that neighbourhoods used to have.

Springwood, one of Lend Lease’s newest communities in South Australia, is the per-fect blend of town and country.

Located just 1.2km from the main street of Gawler, Springwood combines the conveni-ences of a modern urban lifestyle with the green space and sense of community typical of a country town.

Just 44km north of the Adelaide CBD at the gateway to the Barossa Valley wine re-gion, Springwood enjoys breathtaking views of the surrounding region.

Th e team at Lend Lease has worked to de-velop an address where diversity in housing design helps to create unique streetscapes and neighbourhoods of style and character in Springwood.

Lend Lease’s aim is to make Springwood a safe, self-sustaining community where neigh-bours meet and become friends. Upon com-pletion, the 219 hectare site will be home to around 6,000 residents and 2,500 homes.

An extensive network of hiking and bike trails will also follow the natural creek lines within the site and connect Springwood to the heart of Gawler via the South Para River and Dead Man’s Pass.

Already connected to a pre-existing net-work of schools, shops and community fa-

cilities in Gawler, all you need to do is decide which new home you’d like, then start your dream life at Springwood.

Springwood features 20 display homes by some of Adelaide’s top builders including Adelaide Designer Homes, Aspire Homes, Distinctive Homes, Frank Nesci Homes, Hickinbotham, Homestead Homes, Metri-con, Oakford Homes, Rossdale Homes and Regent Homes.

Designs range from aff ordable and com-pact through to large and luxurious; you are sure to fi nd something to suit your new Springwood block. And if you have some-thing unique in mind, the team at Lend Lease will work with you to design a block that suits your specifi c needs and build it in the next release to order.

Lend Lease are also off ering to level and retain blocks at Springwood at no extra cost, providing more certainty around site costs which gives customers peace of mind. Plus, if you’re ready to build and can settle in December, there are some incredible dis-counts available on selected titled lots during Springwood’s Half Year Clearance.

Roxby Downs celebrated the 100th year of Remembrance Day last Tuesday with a ceremony by the war memorial

in Richardson Place.

A large crowd attended the event, including students from St Barbara’s and Roxby Downs Area School and the Roxby Downs Scouts, to remember those lost through war.

“It was fantastic. It is great to see the com-munity coming together for such an important event,” RSL President Jack McGuire said.

“I have found in the four years I have been president the community has embraced it (Re-membrance Day) more and more.

“It is great to have the support of council, the scouts – who did a great job as fl ag bearers - and the kids from the school.”

Mr McGuire said this year’s ceremony didn’t just focus on the lives that had been lost on the

battlefi elds but also the lives of those who had returned from war and suff ered.

Remembrance Day also gave students a chance to become educated on not just the ANZAC legacy but the legacies from all the wars.

“It is very important to educate the kids so they don’t forget what happened and why they can do what they can do,” Mr McGuire said.

“It is a great time to refl ect as well (not just for the children), to think about what people’s

grandparents, uncle’s, auntie’s, etc have done for this country.”

Mr McGuire, who was a part of the Army for nine years, said the location of the ceremo-ny was also great.

“It is a great place, a central place where everyone can pay their respects,” he said.

“It has been done before and I believe it is a brilliant place and a great location for the community to get together to experience this event.”

BRIEFBRIEF

Snakes are a common and natural part of living in Roxby Downs, If you have any issues or queries regarding snakes or any other wildlife

in or around your home please contact the Wildlife Response Number on 0497 808 315.

Anyone aged 12 – 18 years living, working or studying in Roxby Downs is invited to take part in the annual Roxby Downs Youth Survey and have

There will now be improved access to power for events in Richardson Place.

In early November MPS were contracted to install two new power boxes in the lawn area of Richardson Place.

Richardson Place is an award winning main street. Its success is demonstrated by the amount it is utilised for local events and ceremonies.

“Th e two new power boxes have improved the access to power, in turn making our events even more successful” Electrical Services Manager Da-vid Hallett said.

Excitingly, the new power boxes will be ready for use at this year’s Roxby Downs Christmas Pag-eant on Saturday, November 29, 2014.

Richardson Place gets lit up for Christmas!For the past decade Roxby Council, along with

Roxby Power have installed street lighting in Rich-ardson Place at Christmas time.

During November you will notice local contrac-tors installing the lighting, which David Hallett (Electrical Services Manager) explained “is an annual tradition. It’s a way for Council to spread joy during the festive season”.

The 2014 Festival of Trees is fast approaching us, with just ten days left to

consider your entry.

Th e theme this year is Your Festive Season and this can involve anything about this time of year that is meaning-ful to you.

It may be festive memories from your childhood, how you spend the season with your own children, a wonderful holiday memory, something in your everyday life that is important to you or a facet of your work life that will lend itself to a tree design.

Remember, trees can be two or three dimensional and can’t be larger than 1.5 x 1 x 1 me-tre; nor can they need elec-tricity to operate.

Apart from that, the sky is the limit, so get some family, friends or group members to-

gether and have a go at mak-ing the 2014 Festival of Trees an exhibition to remember.

Entries should be delivered to the Visitor Information Centre between 10am-12pm on Friday, November 28. If this will be an issue for you, please contact Jane Gloster on 0429 160 658 or at [email protected].

The exhibition will be launched and prize winners announced on Saturday, No-vember 29, in the roxbylink art gallery, in conjunction with the 2014 volunteer cel-ebration.

Th e organisers of the 2014 Festival of Trees would espe-cially like to thank the very generous local businesses who have supported the Festival of Trees by donating prizes for the winners.

Community Librarian Kimberley

Hargrave is excited to announce the upgraded wireless connection availa-ble at the roxbylink Library.

She explained “the new service pro-vides patrons with a quicker service and greater capacity to download”.

Patrons only re-quire their Library Card Number and a Library PIN to access the public wireless network at the rox-bylink Library.

Public-Library-RF is the new network

you'll see on your device. Th e fi rst time you connect to this network, you will need to enter Publi-cLibrary (this is case sensitive) as the se-curity key.

Patrons are re-minded to keep their details secure; you can change your PIN at any time by logging in to your account via our cat-alogue, or simply contact staff at the library on 8671 0500, or in person. They will be more than happy to assist you.

Note: The old wireless network Public-Library-RF-WPA2 will no longer

work at the roxbylink Library although will still be active at other SA Public Libraries until they upgrade their networks dur-ing the remainder of 2014.

Roxby residents had the opportunity to express their creativity and

learn a new skill during the Outback Smart ‘Up-cycled Jewellery Workshop’.

Run by jewellery artist Kim-berley Hargrave, a small group of women were fortunate to learn the art of jewellery mak-ing while utilising recycled bits and bobs, including buttons, beads, belt buckles, copper wiring, gum nuts and even old house keys!

“Participants were able to create amazing pieces of jew-ellery using items that could easily be overlooked around the home,” Community Projects Of-fi cer Anni Walsh said.

“Buttons that collect at the bottom of a sewing kit, or buck-les from a broken belt can be used as a feature to create a gor-

geous item of jewellery.”With participants expressing

their creativity and experiment-ing with a variety of recycled materials, the opportunities to create a jewellery masterpiece were endless.

“Th ere are many advantag-es of using recycled materials when creating jewellery,” Anni says. “It is an opportunity to give new life to a statement piece that may be broken or damaged, it is better for the environment as it diverts these materials from ending up in landfill, and of course it doesn’t cost the earth to create a piece of jewellery that you can be proud of!”

If you have some recycled materials available for use and are inspired to create some jewellery of your own, the rox-bylink library has a variety of jewellery making books availa-ble for loan.

The truth about plastics

Almost every plastic item has a small recycling triangle with a number in it. This is not a recycling symbol as such, but a plastic identifi cation code used to tell manufactures what type of plastic the item is made from.

A lmost every plastic item has a small recycling triangle with a number

in it. Th is is not a recycling symbol as such, but a plastic identifi cation code used to tell manufactures what type of plastic the item is made from.

Many of us have been tricked into using this symbol as a guide of what can and cannot be recycled. Unfortunately, it’s not as straightforward as fol-lowing a simple numbering system to correctly kerbside recycle.

Many types of plastics are used to manufacture items that are not suitable to go in kerb-side recycling.

For example, a common plastic accepted in kerbside recycling is ‘number 2’ HDPE plastic. HDPE is usually used to manufacture milk and cream bottles, shampoo bottles and cleaning product bottles, but it is also used to manufacture

green plastic Woolworths bags – something that is not recycla-ble in kerbside recycling!

Th is can get rather confus-ing, as a many plastic types are used to manufacture both ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ plastic.

So what is an easy way to ensure that you are recycling right?

Remember that any plastic container that is rigid, or holds its shape when crumpled or crushed, is easily recycled in Roxby Downs.

Th ese rigid or ‘hard ’plastics include plastic soft drink bot-tles, orange juice bottles, cor-dial bottles, squeeze bottles, ice cream containers, yoghurt containers and margarine con-tainers.

Anything that is easily squashed or crumpled is a soft plastic, and doesn’t belong in the recycling bin. Th is can include plastic bags, plastic packaging, post mail bags, pol-ystyrene meat trays and biscuit trays.

For more information on plastics and recycling right in Roxby Downs contact Roxby Council on (08) 8671 0010 or BSH Waste Solutions on (08) 8671 1154.

Olympic Dam 8/125 defeated Andamooka

10/101

F riday’s match saw top of the table Olympic Dam play off against bottom of the table Andamooka with

the Roos still searching for their fi rst win of the season.

Olympic Dam won the toss under light rain and elected to bat fi rst.

Th e Roos were right on top early having the Devils 5/47 at drinks but Craig Nicholls (22) combined with Patrick Glover (37) to guide the devils to 73 before Nicholls fell.

Glover continued through the innings to guide Olympic Dam to 125 and a compet-itive total.

In response Andamooka battled hard and made a game of it but with some tight bowl-ing from Olympic Dam attack they were eventually all out for 101 in the fi nal oval.

Ryan Bennett and captain Rein Geraghty

took three wickets each while Dan Wes-combe top scored for Andamooka.

Hornridge 9/165 defeated Roxby Rogues 10/125

A fter heavy rain overnight and Saturday morning up until 12 o’clock, the game was almost called off .

Once the sky cleared up, a few of the play-ers in Peter Colman and Jamie Way went about restoring the pitch to a suitable con-dition.

Th e pitch came up well after a few hours’ work, and the top dressing of the outfi eld thrived with the rain.

Hornridge won the toss and batted fi rst up.

Daniel Pegler is proving impossible to dis-lodge so far, and continued on with 82 not out, his season tally up to 286 runs at 143.

A few other Hornridge players chipped in and ended up with 9/165 from the 40 overs.

Adrian Boulton and Danny Black bowled well for Roxby picking up a couple of wick-

ets a piece. In reply Roxby got off to a great start,

passing 50 without loss, until skipper Paul Polujnikoff was run out by Brad Rynne.

Danny Black was still going strong but couldn’t fi nd a partner to see it through with him. Once he fell for 65, the rest fell away.

Th e pick of the bowlers for Hornridge were Nilesh Solanki and Rhett Winter, who bowled well in tandem taking two wickets each and swung the momentum.

Roxby eventually were all out 40 runs short.

Association CricketTh e Roxby Districts Cricket Association

side will head to Port Pirie this weekend to take on association teams from Port Augus-ta, Whyalla and Port Pirie.

Roxby Rogues captain Paul Polujnikoff has been named the skipper of the associa-tion side while Olympic Dam’s Lucas Hol-brook has been named vice captain.

Th e fi nal list of players was still being de-cided on when paper went to print.

Pegler’s good form continues as Hornridge prove too good for Rogues

Hornridge’s Mark Scollin. Olympic Dam’s Patrick Glover top scored for OD on Friday night.

Local young gun Taj Gow-Smith has become one of only three junior South Australian motocross riders to be selected for the SA Yamaha Junior Team (SA-YJR) contract for the

2015 season.

Taj’s good form last year, dominating every attended state round and fi nishing 28th in Australia for his class (7-under 9 65cc) at the National Championships in Appin, NSW just over a month ago, caught SA-YJR Team Manager Shane Metcalfe’s eye.

“I am very excited to get Taj on our SA-YJR Team, he is very de-termined and has some great skills, on top of that he is very socially skilled and that is a very important part of racing, you have to have a great personality as well as being a great rider,” Metcalfe told Th e Monitor following the announcement last week.

“I have been coaching Taj for the past year and his ability to pick things up and take things on board is very unique.”

Taj’s racing contract will last for a year but Metcalfe said generally the SA-YJR team picks their riders carefully and holds onto them until they are 16, before they move onto senior racing.

Taj said he is very excited and is living every child’s dream by securing this opportunity .

“I always hoped one day my hard work would pay off and I would be selected for the SA-YJR team,” he said.

“When Shane told me my eyes lit up and I couldn’t believe it.“Of course it’s every kids dream to be selected for the team, but

I just tried to concentrate on getting my best personal results and hoped the rest would come.

“Shane always said to me ‘let your results speak’.”Metcalfe said he has witnessed fi rst-hand the amount of work Taj

puts into his riding and the sacrifi ces his family makes to get him to events.

“Travelling from Roxby to come down for a training session and back on a weekend is dedication. Th at trait is what makes champions in my opinion, dedication to succeed,” he said.

Taj will be riding a small wheel YZ85cc in the 9-Under 12 years’ class and is already training hard since taking a month off the bike on a family holiday to America.

“My goals for next year are to continue training and getting strong-er on and off the bike,” he said.

“I’d like to focus on the 65cc title and give it my best on my 85cc too.

“I’ll be competing on two bikes next year so that is going to be a challenge for me too.”

Taj is looking forward to joining South Aussies Th omas and Alex Larwood in the team.

Th e two brothers will be looking to help Taj settle into the team by sharing their experiences with him.

“To be team mates with the Larwoods’ is cool and I can’t wait to go racing and training with them,” Taj said.

Th e announcement is a form of reassurance for Taj, who had a rocky season in 2014. As well as sustaining a debilitating injury that threw his season into serious doubt, he was also the victim to the theft of his two race bikes at the national championships.

It seems young gun Taj’s luck is starting to turn around, who said joining the SA-YJR team has made him more determined to succeed and make his sponsors, team mates, coach and himself proud.

Taj has been able to get ‘back on the bike’, fi guratively and literally, after support from the local community and businesses, especially Chris Evens from Outlaws Coating and Conveyors who provided Taj with a new motorbike recently.
