Online safety alertWRITTEN BYPATRICK GLOVER

P arents concerned about their children’s online safety are being urged to attend a presentation from

the Carly Ryan Foundation at Roxby Downs Area School next week.

Founder Sonya Ryan, whose 15-year-old

daughter Carly was killed after being targeted by a man using a false online identity, will talk about the dangers of internet usage.

Garry Francis Newman, 50, pretended to be an 18-year-old boy and had been in contact with Carly via the internet for several months.

Newman murdered Carly in 2007 after she rejected his advances in person.

Ms Ryan has used this story and created the foundation to try and prevent similar in-

cidents occurring, but told � e Monitor her presentation also highlighted the positive as-pects of online activity.

“We are not trying to frighten people away, we are trying to empower them,” she said.

“It can be very positive, social networking.“� ere is nothing wrong with it if you are

doing it the right way.“Diff erent things can happen, but you can

use technology to your advantage – take steps

to identify and protect yourself. You can make great connections online.”

Ms Ryan said online safety was all about being mindful of what users posted on the internet and how they portrayed themselves.

Her presentation will be held in the Roxby Downs Area School Hall on � ursday, June 4, at 7.30pm.

For further information, contact Beth Elliott on 0407 233 276.

Andamooka woman Mary Ames will make her public debut as an artist with

the opening of her exhibition Namaste: Greetings from Nepal at the roxbylink gallery next week.

Ames has put together a collec-tion of acrylic paintings including portraits and scenes inspired by photographs of her daughter’s trip to Nepal last year.

“It was a lovely experience, and she came back and said ‘I’d love to go back again’,” she told � e Monitor.

“She said people go for the mountains but they return for the people.”

The Namaste exhibition will also feature a small selection of works depicting Aboriginal people in traditional attire.

Ames was born in Athens, Greece, where her father owned an art shop and took her to studios and exhibitions as a child.

“My love for painting started then and never left me,” she said in a biography submitted for the exhibition.

After studying painting and decorating in Milan and London, Ames moved with her young fam-ily to Adelaide in 1999 before end-ing up in Andamooka in 2002.

She said one of her first ex-periences in Australia involved meeting with diff erent groups of Aboriginal people in a Port Ade-laide pub.

“I had always been interested in Aboriginal culture – I read books about it – and I was welcomed by them,” she said.

Ames has been painting for many years, with projects includ-ing posters, murals and decorat-ing the walls and furniture of her home.

Children and staff had to evacuate the Roxby Downs Child Care Centre after smoke could be

smelled from within the building last week.

Country Fire Service and SA Ambu-lance offi cers, along with Senior Sergeant Terry Boylan from the Roxby Downs Po-lice Station, attended the scene at around 9.30am on Tuesday, May 19.

However, a search failed to identify

any hazards and staff members were able to resume normal operations.

Snr Sgt Boylan said while there was no danger this time, the child care cen-tre had demonstrated good evacuation skills.

A production error caused the continuation of last week’s front page story (‘Give it a (fl u) shot’, � e Monitor, 20/5/15) to be omitted.

� e full article, by Moni-tor journalist Patrick Glov-er, was as follows:

“With winter just around the corner, locals have been fl ocking to general practi-tioners to get their annual ‘fl u shot’.

Dr Simon Lockwood from the Roxby Downs Family Practice said March, April and May were always the busiest times of year for administering the infl uen-za vaccine, and 2015 was no diff erent.

“Particularly people with chronic illnesses who are more suscep tible to getting sick with the fl u (come in for a shot),” he said.

“� ey get their fl u shots subsidised by the govern-ment, so they get it for free.

“Aboriginal and Torres

Strait Islanders also get theirs for free because they are more at risk of getting chronic diseases, but any-one can get a fl u shot.”

Dr Lockwood said get-ting vaccinated failed to make patients completely immune to infl uenza, but it could signifi cantly reduce their symptoms.

Apart from vaccination, Dr Lockwood said washing your hands, staying away from sick people and stay-ing home if you are feeling unwell were other ways to stop spreading or getting the illness.

� e Roxby Downs Fam-ily Practice off ers visits to workplaces and schools to distribute fl u vaccinations, and Dr Lockwood said BHP Billiton offered free fl u shots to Olympic Dam employees.

Vaccines are also avail-able at the Roxby Downs Medical Centre and Anda-mooka Health Service.”

H aving serviced W h y a l l a a n d Por t Aug usta

f o r t h e p a s t 1 1 years col lect ively, chiropractor Jonathan Dobson will now be bringing his services to Roxby Downs.

Having been in the chiropractic business for 36 years, Mr Dobson said he had plenty to off er the community and was happy to help locals with any kind of medical problem.

“It is a remote area, so I try for any benefi t I can help patients get,” he said. “I don’t set out to cure everything, but I always work out how good I can get it and set the person up to be the best they can be.”

Mr Dobson will make fortnightly trips to Roxby Downs on a Monday before heading back to Whyalla.

His decision to service Roxby Downs came after his colleague, Nick Hoff man, decided to head overseas with his partner.

“He gave me a call and said he wanted someone to continue to give the same care to his patients as he did,” Mr Dobson said.

He has only been servicing Roxby Downs for the last two weeks, but has already become a part of the community.

Mr Dobson has joined the Roxby Downs choir, which rehearses on Sunday nights and is eagerly awaiting this weekend’s Co-Opera performance.

“It is good to be a part of the community,” he said.“I love singing, and they were gracious enough to

give me a shot.”

Driver acquitted of Dylon’s deathA drunk driver who allowed

local man Dylon Fraser to ride in the tray of his

utility vehicle has been acquitted of causing his death.

In September 2013 Anthony Phil-lip Carberry, 40, was found guilty of one aggravated count of causing death by dangerous driving and one count of leaving the scene after caus-ing death by dangerous driving at Roxby Downs in 2012.

However, a retrial was ordered in July 2014 and Carberry was acquit-

ted of causing Mr Fraser’s death, in-stead being convicted of the lesser charge of driving without due care.

In sentencing last Wednesday, � e Advertiser reports that District Court Judge Gordon Barrett said he understood the ruling may be diffi -cult to accept.

“I could understand that Mr Fraser’s family and friends, particu-larly his parents... could find that consequence diffi cult to understand today, but it is clear I must sentence you (Carberry) in accordance with

the jury’s verdict,” Judge Gordon said.� e Advertiser claims the court

had earlier heard that Mr Fraser, 25, was in the tray of Carberry’s ute with the cover closed over him, but had opened the tailgate before falling out and hitting his head on the bitumen.

It was reported that Judge Barrett told Carberry there was “no doubt that you never intended and never foresaw the possibility of serious in-jury to Mr Fraser, nevertheless his death” despite acknowledging that Carberry had stopped and started

as he drove away from the Roxby Downs Tavern with a blood alcohol concentration of about 0.1 per cent.

“I think it is inevitable that stop-ping and starting must have caused Mr Fraser some discomfort or fear, but the jury’s verdict must mean that your driving was not the cause, or even a signifi cant cause of his death,” he said.

According to � e Advertiser, Judge Gordon said because Carberry had already served fi ve months in jail and had his licence disqualifi ed since

2012, it would be “inappropriate to impose any further penalty”.

“� e jury found as a reasonable possibility that you were not driving dangerously but only driving care-lessly,” he said.

“� e jury also found, that at least as a reasonable possibility, that there was no causal link between your driving and Mr Fraser’s death.

“Accordingly, I must sentence you for careless driving alone.”

Carberry was released without any further penalty.


Just months af ter Roxby Downs Tyre and Alignment’s controversial closure, the local

Dunlop dealership has had new life breathed into it.

Now trading as the Roxby Downs Tyre Service under new owners Chris and Shona Evans from Outlaw Coating and Conveyancers, the business offi -cially opened its doors last week.

Previous owner Kurt Richardson closed the dealership in March.

He is currently facing one count of selling a controlled drug (basic of-fence) and will have to appear in the Roxby Downs Magistrates Court next month.

However, new manager Steve Jarrad said Roxby Downs Tyre Service had no association with Mr Richardson.

Mr Jarrad has joined the dealership after previously working at MPS Build-ing Services and has lived in Roxby Downs for the past six years.

“I needed a change,” he said.Mr Jarrad said the Gosse Street

premises had undergone repainting and an offi ce renovation among other

improvements in the past fi ve or six weeks.

He said the business would offer wheel alignment once a new machine arrived in the coming weeks, with other services to include tyre replacements and repairs, minor underbody vehicle inspections and minor servicing.

“It’s something Roxby needed, I think,” he said.

“I know things are a little bit quiet at the moment, so if we can do well now we’ll be fi ne.

“Hopefully we can do a friendly cus-tomer service for Roxby.

“Every customer I’ve spoken to has said they like to shop locally and they’re pretty happy there’s a place here now to do things.”

Mr Jarrad is joined by mechanic Brandon Granger, who has just moved here from Wollongong, New South Wales.

� e business is set to host an offi -cial opening in the coming weeks and has had an electronic sign up at the BP petrol station.

The Gosse Street premises is under a new name, new owners and new staff.

Offi ce renovations have included new cupboards and fl ooring.

F amily members of the late Brian ‘Parto’ Partington (30/12/1967

to 10/2/2015) have released a ‘thank you’ statement for the support they received from the Roxby Downs community following his death earlier this year.

� e Roxby Downs Commu-nity Board recently closed the tribute fund created for dona-

tions to the family and present-ed an undisclosed amount of money to them.

“Amanda, Luke, Mitchell, Shae and the Partington family would like to thank family and friends for their unbelievable care and support following the devastating loss of our wonder-ful husband, father, son and brother Brian,” reads a state-ment from the family.

“� ank you for the expres-sions of sympathy, phone calls, fl owers, cards, messages, food, gifts and company.

“Your kind thoughts have been truly appreciated.

“We are blessed to have so many people sharing our pain and grief.

“Thank you also to the Tumby Bay and Roxby Downs communities for the efforts

with Brian’s funeral and me-morial service and continued support.

“Brian touched many lives and we are so very proud to say he was our husband, father, son and brother.

“He will forever be in our hearts as we go forward in our lives.

“Please accept this as our personal thanks.”

‘Miss Lana’ and her students have spent the past few weeks hard at work

preparing for the CanDance for a Cure concert, which takes place this Saturday in Adelaide.

The dancers had their last rehearsal on Sunday, and Miss Lana said she believed the 48 dancers representing the Roxby Academy of Dance on the night were ready to go.

Miss Lana said the fi ve cho-

sen to appear in the opening act had also been making trips to Adelaide to rehearse with the 70 other dancers from across the state set to perform in the same number.

“It has been daunting for them, performing with a whole lot of people they don’t know,” she said.

Miss Lana said it was great to see so much community support for the CanDance for a Cure concert, with a number

of locals having already ordered tickets online.

“CanDance must love us be-cause we always bring lots of kids with lots of supporters,” she said. “And the more people, the more money they raise.”

� e Roxby Academy of Dance has been fundraising in the lead-up to the event and has collected enough money for a fi eld trip to the Bounce amuse-ment centre on Sunday.

W ith NAIDOC Week just around the corner, the Roxby Downs community is

being encouraged to design posters demonstrating the spirit of the annual event.

NAIDOC Week (July 5-12) celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

� e local NAIDOC committee will again be running a poster competition inviting participants to illustrate what the week means to them.

“It means so many diff erent things to diff erent people,” said Roxby Council community projects offi cer Anni Walsh.

“People have had diff erent experienc-es, and by creating a poster they are able to express these.”

Ms Walsh said the poster competi-tion – for which entries close at 5pm on Friday, June 12 – would give entrants the chance to be a part of the local cele-

brations even if they were away during the offi cial NAIDOC Week dates.

� e competition is broken into two categories – youth (17 years and under) and open (18 years and over).

Prizes will be awarded for each, with entries to be displayed in the windows of empty shops in Roxby Central.

Ms Walsh said the display would be a good way of advertising NAIDOC Week, which would also include other local festivities.

“We will have an opening ceremony on the Sunday which will be similar to previous years,” she said.

“� ere will be traditional food and ways to celebrate indigenous culture.

“On July 11 there will be an indige-nous round in the Far North Football League, with Coober Pedy to come down, so that will be a bit of a cele-bration.”

� e East Roxby Football Club has also organised a DJ to come and play at the dirt circuit track – where members hold their presentation nights – as part of NAIDOC Week celebrations.

Mary to make her artistic debutCONTINUED

FROM PAGE 1“I love to not just

beautify but to give an-other life to something,” she said.

However, Ames said the roxbylink gallery event would be her fi rst public art exhibition af-ter her daughter, Rosa-lyna, encouraged her to

share her paintings with the general public.

“It’s really exciting,” she said. “Rosalyna was my inspiration.”

Ames’s style is slight-ly impressionist – the paintings appear realis-tic but the colours are more vibrant and the edges are rougher, simi-lar to the approach taken

by French painter Henri Matisse.

Works featured in the exhibition – to be offi -cially opened at the rox-bylink gallery on Tues-day, June 4, at 6pm – will be available for sale, with Ames hoping to donate some of the proceeds to the Nepal Earthquake Appeal.

Andamooka residents questioned the eff ectiveness of the Outback Community Authority (OCA) and whether the

Andamooka Progress and Opal Miners Assocation (APOMA) should be their represent-ative body during a public meeting last week.

� e OCA arranged the meeting – held on Tuesday, May 19, in the Andamooka Community Hall – as part of consultation on its draft annual business plan and budget for the town.

OCA governance manager Byron Gough wel-comed the gathering of about 100 locals by explain-ing that the 2015/16 budget was similar to the pre-vious year.

“What we’re presenting tonight is very much like what was presented last year, hopefully with the dif-ference that we’ve made it more transparent,” he said.

After Mr Gough opened the meeting up to ques-tions, one of the fi rst inquiries was about the reason-ing behind the OCA’s relationship with APOMA, and the extent to which the local body represented locals’ concerns.

Mr Gough said the OCA was constitutionally re-quired to enter into a community agreement with one of Andamooka’s incorporated not-for-profi t organisations.

“We have no reason to believe that they don’t rep-resent the community,” he said.

“� ey don’t have to represent 100 per cent of the community.

“� e feedback that we get from the majority of the community is that they’re comfortable with that relationship.

“(However) I respect people’s opinion may diff er on that background.”

Mr Gough said other local groups would need to “lift their game” if they wanted to replace APOMA as a party to the community agreement.

He added that if most locals objected to APOMA’s involvement with the OCA it “wouldn’t be discount-ed”, but he was yet to be presented with concrete evidence of this being the situation.

Mr Gough also noted, given that Andamooka con-

sisted of more than 400 landholders, the gathering of locals on the night failed to make up even half of the town’s population.

It was also evident on the night that a number of attendees had diff erent opinions to the questioners.

During discussions about the Community Contri-bution Scheme – which will again see a $400 charge apply across 500 property units, as per the previous amount required since the 2012/13 fi nancial year – concerns raised included the potential for the annual fee to increase and the OCA’s spending of $35,000 towards collecting CCS debts in 2015/16.

Another questioner suggested that locals put in a vote of no confi dence in the OCA.

“I suggest that we go back to managing our af-fairs with the APOMA without costing us as much money,” he said.

“I believe that all this management’s superfl uous to what we really need.

“I just don’t think we need expensive management in light of our situation.”

Mr Gough said the OCA’s presence could be re-moved from Andamooka if APOMA refused to enter into a community agreement.

“If you can convince enough people to ask APOMA of that, then APOMA won’t ask us back,” he said.

However, Mr Gough said such a situation could be detrimental to the town’s level of service because modern volunteers faced new challenges including the need for public liability insurance.

“� ose services were being provided by a group of volunteers, and in the time that they were doing it that was probably appropriate,” he said.

“What’s started to happen is that the volunteers now in running the municipal services of the town are at much greater risk than what they have been.”

One meeting attendee said he had withdrawn from many community groups because of the new constraints.

“We are expected now to sign so many documents just as a volunteer,” he said.

“� e legal risks of even a person in a volunteer position are huge nowadays.

“� e complaints should be… much higher up in the chain to the governments that are pushing these down on us.”

Andamooka Town Management Committee

(ATMC) chair Lyn Breuer said residents should consider what has been achieved since the OCA began local operations.

“Just have a look at what’s happened in the last three years,” she said.

“Have a look at the improvements that have been made in the town.

“We’ve probably forgotten a lot of things that have happened.

“It is 2015, not 1965 – the world has changed. Volunteers can’t do it anymore.

“A town cannot run itself on volunteers… (and) you don’t get anything for nothing nowadays.”

Meanwhile a letter from “Darrell Gillings and other signatories” has been circulating around An-damooka since last week’s public meeting.

� e document – dated � ursday, May 21 – claims there appear to be misconceptions about “just what we are attempting to do within this community”.

“Firstly, it is neither our desire nor attempt to make our once great towns reliant or dependent upon voluntary labour alone,” the letter reads.

“Our main aim is to stop the wilful wastage of monies as has happened to date by (the) OCA and to restore the control of the township business by paid local nominated persons under the umbrella of the old constitution.

“� is can be easily accomplished by us taking control of OCA business and the cancellation of the ATMC, which is obviously superfl uous to the committee’s needs.”

� e letter’s authors claim the aforementioned actions would result in savings of about $250,000.

However, in the OCA’s 2015/16 draft budget, An-damooka’s operation costs amount to $155,000 – including $70,000 from CCS funding and $85,000 covered by the OCA, which is funded by the federal and state governments and other mechanisms.

� e town’s infrastructure – including roads, waste management and the community hub project – is set to cost $200,000 ($115,000 of which is from CCS funding).

Community development will cost $15,000 and will be wholly funded by the CCS.

A total of $370,000 is budgeted for 2015/16, with the CCS contributing $200,000 and the OCA making up the remaining $170,000.

Meeting turns into protest

F ronti er Services will not be withdrawing

from Andamooka Community Health Services unti l October despite the original date being set for June.

The not-for-profi t organisati on has de-layed its withdrawal to give itself more ti me to fi nd a replacement provider and for a transiti on period to take place.

“It would be re-ally good to see the service conti nue,” Member for Giles Eddie Hughes told The Monitor.

“We want to see those relati onships with the people con-ti nue and see the em-ployment conti nue.”

Mr Hughes said if Fronti er Services was unable to fi nd anyone by October, Country Health SA would put the service out to tender. BY PATRICK GLOVER

R edstack Thinking Design representatives visited Roxby Downs last week to hold a

demonstration of their Pegasus drone to SA Power Networks.

SA Power Networks is looking to purchase one of the drones to use for inspection work as a way of reducing the dangers of employees having to go up there themselves.

“We can use the drone to look and identify the issue,” said SA Power Networks operations manager Rod Mitchell.

“If there is something there, our guys can just go straight up and fi x the problem.”

Mr Mitchell said the company was hoping to have one of the drones in action by the end of the year.

� e drone is made of carbon fi bre and aluminium and includes infra-red, still and three-dimensional im-agery and audio capability.

NO Regrets SeminarDear Reader,We hope this letter and invitation finds you well and life is being kind to you and your family.

Every day in my role as a Financial Planner, I come across something completely

different for each client that I see, which is why I love my work and find it so challenging at the same time.

This is the main reason we have created the “No Regrets” campaign (this

campaign is about the sharing of people’s situations where there were clearly regrets that had not been addressed) which is gathering great momentum now.

Life can be so cruel for many: a husband who says he loves his wife and then just leaves, a business partner who doesn’t want to put the effort in, a child who becomes sick, a wife who gets cancer, a young father who has lost his job, and a partner who gets Alzheimers and has to be placed in a nursing home...

Many of these clients had regrets.

Some should have saved more, some should have said what they wanted to say to those they loved, some wished they had had more time, more holidays and more fun.

This all happened in one week.

My role in all of these people’s lives is to ensure that they have their financial house in order and they don’t end up with any regrets, for nothing prepares you for that loss which you have no control over.

Financial Planning is all about organising and working on the things that you do have control over.

This is why it is so important to make sure those around you get organised and become educated, so at least during times of change, loss and stress, financial worries are minimised and taken care of in the best possible way.

We are inviting you and your partners to attend a Seagrims Your Financial Planners “‘NO REGRETS” presentation.

This presentation is based on a collection of stories over a 25 year period of new client interviews and why people had got themselves into a position of so Many Regrets.You will become empowered, enlightened and educated on the steps to take so that you can identify the decisions needed that you have control over.

Kind regards,Anne-Marie Seagrim Dip FP

It costs money to run a town.The Outback Community Authority

(OCA) expects that it will take $370,000 to run Andamooka in 2015/16.

Residents will be asked to pay $400 per property unit so that, as a community, they can contribute $200,000 towards this cost.

In return the OCA, which receives gov-ernment funding, will pay the remaining $170,000.

By contrast, Roxby Council was set to receive more than $5.2 million in rates for 2014/15, with its total expenses projected to be more than $18 million.

Of course, the level of services diff ers

greatly between the two towns, with Roxby Downs having about ten times the popula-tion of Andamooka.

However, the comparison is worth not-ing in light of the extent to which some Andamooka locals seem opposed to spend-ing their $400 a year, and the lengths they are going to oppose the OCA’s presence in their town.

A letter from Darrell Gillings and “other signatories” – a copy of which was provid-ed to � e Monitor last week – to Anda-mooka locals claims the group’s main aim is “to stop the wilful wastage of monies as has happened to date by the OCA”.

To say a government-funded organisa-tion is wilfully wasting community money is a big call.

In its draft 2015/16 budget, the OCA

has broken down expenditure into what is being funded by the OCA and what will be funded by the Community Contribution Scheme (CCS).

Out of the $200,000 raised from the scheme, $115,000 will go towards infra-structure and another $15,000 to commu-nity development.

Out of the $115,000 it costs the OCA to run Andamooka, $40,000 of the CCS will be put towards the $90,000 allocated for staff wages.

Other operations expenditure – includ-ing offi ce supplies, consumables, insurance, utilities and training – at a cost of $$30,000 will also be covered by the CCS.

� e OCA will fund the $35,000 it costs to collect the CCS – often from locals either unwilling or unable to pay.

So, essentially what the community pays towards administrating the town is $70,000.

� e rest goes towards the (arguably un-alterable) cost of maintaining the town’s essential services.

From an outsider’s point of view, I would call this a pretty good deal.

However, I can also understand that the community would like further assurances that the OCA is using government funds correctly – as otherwise the money could be spent on other things.

I also fully respect Andamooka resident’s right to question the powers that be, and – whether they are right or wrong – applaud them for having the courage and commit-ment to do so.

S tudents, teachers and parents recently enjoyed Catholic Education Week (May 15-22)

at St Barbara’s Parish School. �e school last week celebrated the

national event by hosting activities in-cluding a shared lunch with the par-ents, clothes donations, an ‘appreciate your teacher’ day and whole-of-school assemblies and masses.

“It is a week where we celebrate everything unique about Catholic ed-ucation, as well as everything unique about St Barbara’s as a school,” said act-ing principal John Robertson.

Mr Robertson said he was particu-larly impressed with the response the shared lunch had received last Wednesday.

“I was blown away with the food and the support,” he said.

“It was fantastic.”The community donated clothes

throughout the week for the school to send to the St Vincent de Paul Society.

It also held a casual clothes day on �ursday, with students required to bring in a gold-coin donation and funds raised going towards Caritas Australia’s Nepal Earthquake Appeal.

While students had fun during the week, they were also learning important lessons in the process.

�e school held an ‘earth hour’ dur-ing which students turned all the lights off for one hour, in conjunction with the other 13 Catholic schools in the di-ocese, and learned about greenhouse emissions.

Catholic Education Week is just one of the many busy periods in term two, with Wellbeing Week celebrations start-ing on Monday.

“It is a very busy term,” Mr Robertson said.

“�e thing that surprises me is we have so many visitors, but I’m happy they do come to visit.

“It is great for the children, especially being in a remote area.”

Catholic Education Week a hit

N ew acting St Barbara’s Parish School principal

John Robertson said he feels right at home in Roxby Downs, even though he will only be here temporarily.

Having grown up in Broken Hill – anoth-er Australian mining town – and with his first teaching job at Coober Pedy Area School, Mr Robertson said he was familiar with living in a remote area.

“I knew what I was coming to,” he said.

“I love living in small towns where you will walk down the street and parents and kids come up and say ‘hello’.

“I love the friendly community, staff and students.”

Mr Robertson said he had been a teacher and later a principal across the past 40 years.

He said he had been all over the state, in-cluding schools at Mount Barker, Adelaide and the Riverland.

Term one of the

current school year saw him enjoy some long service leave after spending the past 12 years as principal of Mary Mackillop School in Wallaroo.

Former St Barbara’s principal Bernadette Lacey will step back into the role next term, and Mr Robertson said he had been keeping her updated on what has been happening throughout the term.

“I keep in close con-tact with Bernadette – I email her at least once a week,” he said.

“I am keeping her in-formed so that there is a smooth transition.”

Mr Robertson also praised the work of former acting princi-pal Terry Kluzek, who stepped down last term.

“Terry did a fantastic job and he made sure he kept me up to speed,” he said.

“He was one of the most experienced prin-cipals in the Catholic, diocese, so it was won-derful for St Barbara’s.”

T enders have closed for the second stage

of the St Barbara’s Parish School gym expansion, with workers expected on site within the next four weeks.

Acting principal John Robertson said the project should be complet-ed by term four.

The new plans w i l l inc lude a kitchen, a new play-group facility and increased storage, and will be added to the west side of the gym.

Ro x b y D o w n s Kindergarten attendees enjoyed a morning at the

movies last Friday thanks to local sponsors Boom Logistics.

The kindergarten originally had to decline an invitation to the Little Big Shots Internation-al Film Festival at the roxbylink cinema for fi nancial reasons.

“(Roxby Council community projects officer) Anne-Marie (Arthur) talked to people about how the kindy could fi nd some-one to sponsor us,” said Roxby Downs Kindergarten’s Sophie Both.

Boom Logistics provided funding support for the purchase

of 44 tickets for kindergarten students and teachers.

“� e kids loved it,” Ms Both said.

“� ere were so many laughs. � ey had such a good time, and they were well behaved and very respectful to those around them.

“We would like to thank the council for investigating how we could be involved and Boom Logistics for the donation.”

Ms Both said the movies were benefi cial for the children and, with a number of animation techniques used, she hoped the experience had helped enhance their creative thinking.

Lo c a l s t u d e n t s w e r e encouraged to adopt the ‘less to landfi ll’ approach when the

KESAB environmental solutions organisation brought the Wipe out Waste (WOW) program to Roxby Downs last week.

Students from the Roxby Downs Area School (RDAS), St Barbara’s Parish School, Woomera Area School, Roxby Downs Kindergar-ten and Andamooka Primary School attended a WOW performance last � ursday morning to learn about waste management.

“The Wipe out Waste perfor-mance with Wally and the WOW Wizard was fantastic,” said RDAS junior primary teacher Jenna Schipper.

“It was an interactive and exciting performance that the children really enjoyed.

“It had lots of extra touches that allowed the message of reducing, reusing and recycling to be com-municated in a funny and eff ective way.

“Lots of conversations, questions and suggestions have come about from seeing the performance.”

Teachers from the schools – along with staff from the local child care centre and early learning community group – also worked with the WOW program and KESAB by taking part in a personal development course last � ursday afternoon.

The session included a tour of the landfi ll and recycling depot, fol-lowed by a presentation about other schools that had implemented the ‘less to landfi ll’ challenge.

“To some visiting the landfi ll and recycling depot wouldn’t seem ap-pealing, but the information that was received… and the discussions that were had was great, and very helpful in educating the students about the services provided in Rox-by Downs,” Ms Schipper said.

“Jo from Wipe out Waste ran a very informative workshop.

“� e data that she shared with us has just showed how imperative it is to educate the future generation in reducing out carbon footprint.

“� e workshop gave an excellent insight into other sites and what they are doing to reduce their waste.

“Jo was a very passionate present-er who inspired many of us to make changes in our own sites.”

Ro x b y D o w n s hosted a sneak peek of a new

digital theatre project last Friday, when its developers finished a week-long stint in the town.

� e ‘Eyes’ project is the brainchild of multiplat-form company Sandpit in partnership with Country Arts SA.

Its developers took up residence in an empty shop on Tutop Street, where a group of locals participated in a test run of a three-dimensional sound recording and oth-er aspects of the project.

“We’re interested in ex-ploring new technologies and seeing what the story-telling opportunities are,”

said one of the project’s directors, Dan Koerner.

“We’re at the very be-ginnings of this stuff .”

Fellow director Sam Haren said he and Mr Ko-erner had a background in making performance works under an audio tour structure.

“We were interested in sharing this idea that you could do outside perfor-mances with audio as an element,” he said.

“(A three-dimension-al recording) creates a realistic sense of sound around you.”

The project’s theme deals with the concept of the end of the world, with a live performance from actor Matt Crook addressing this topic with the use of a script by Mel-bourne playwright Declan Greene.

Mr Haren said the team

chose Roxby Downs as one of the regional South Australian towns to visit because of its remote de-sert location.

“We wanted all the projects to be developed in various locations, and we are really inspired by coming into an environ-ment surrounded by quite a dramatic landscape,” he said.

Country Arts SA cre-ative producer Steve Mayhew thanked Roxby Council arts and cultural development office Ella McCarthy for showing the visitors around and mak-ing them feel welcome.

Mr Mayhe w a l s o thanked local man Travis Hague for helping to fi lm and photograph the pro-ject’s development, along with Raine & Horne for renting out the shop space at a discounted rate.

The roxbylink library hopes to attract more guest workshop presenters following the success

of illustrator Craig Smith’s visit last Saturday.

A total of 46 children and 30 super-vising adults attended the event, which saw Smith demonstrate how he draws his characters for various children’s books.

When many of the children com-mented on how “messy” his drawings appeared in their early stages, Smith said:

“My imagination is a messy place. The great thing about drawing in a messy way is it gives your imagination time to work, and it’s more fun as well.”

Among the attendees was local woman Justine Brouns, who attend-ed with her daughter Amelia, 11, and said Smith’s presentation was “really engaging.”

“He’s very animated and engaging for us and for kids,” she said.

“We’d defi nitely want to do some-thing like this later.”

Amelia said she enjoyed drawing be-cause she liked that “you’re able to put your imagination down onto paper”.

Library assistant team leader Karen Russell said she was pleased to hear

positive feedback and see the turnout she was hoping for.

“I think we’re very lucky with our fi rst our fi rst choice,” she said.

“He’s fantastic with the kids.”Team leader Sarah Powell said she

hoped to host similar events at the li-brary in the future.

“We’ve got other people in line who are interested in travelling rurally to promote their work, and we’re looking at accommodating them,” she said.

After the workshop, Smith told � e Monitor this was his fi rst visit to Roxby Downs despite having travelled along the Oodnadatta Track last year.

“Today was just wonderful,” he said. “Everyone was just really warm and wonderful and the kids were terrifi c.”

Smith said he believed it was im-portant for authors and illustrators to make connections with their reader-ship, which was why he hosted work-shops across Australia.

Apart from the roxbylink library, Smith also visited St Barbara’s Parish School last Friday and Roxby Downs Area School on Monday.

“It’s inspiring what the children can do,” he said.

“� e drawings looked wonderful. � ey’re full of life.”

Smith has illustrated for more than 380 children’s books and is set to make his debut as an author after spending six years writing one of his own.

The roxbylink gallery is set to host Andamooka artist Mary Ames’s exhibition

Namaste: Greetings from Nepal, and everyone is invited to the launch.

� e works are inspired by pho-tographs taken on her daughter’s trip to Nepal last year, when she visited small communities and

volunteered at remote schools and orphanages.

Born in Athens, Greece, Mary’s love of painting began at an early age when she would go with her father to artists’ studios and exhi-bitions.

She studied special techniques in painting and decoration at the City and Guilds of London

Institute, along with the Centro Donnalavorodonna in Milan, Italy.

Namaste: Greetings from Nepal will be launched next � ursday, June 4, at 6pm with drinks and nibbles provided.

All are welcome (RSVP not required).

The exhibition closes on Wednesday, July 1.

W e are pretty lucky that fi nding a car

park in Roxby Downs is general ly not an overly stressful exercise.

However, drivers need to be mindful of parking restrictions in Richardson Place and around both the St Barbara’s Parish and Roxby Downs Area schools.

Parking signs and restrictions such as

drop-off zones, dis-abled parking areas and loading zones and ‘no parking’ zones are specially designed to improve the safety of pedestrians and min-imise traffic conges-tion.

Parking on road verges is illegal. � is practice disturbs land-scaping and irrigation, and damages trees and shrubs that have been planted to improve the amenity of the street-scape.

Parking on the wrong side of the road, facing traffi c, is also il-legal.

Council parking of-fi cers will issue expia-tion notices and fi nes if parking restrictions are not followed.

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

� is is not a recycling symbol as such, but a plastic identifi cation code used to tell manufacturers 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 is not as straightforward as following a sim-ple numbering system for correct kerbside recycling.

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

For example, a common plastic

accepted in kerbside recycling is ‘number two’ HDPE plastic.

HDPE is usually used to man-ufacture milk and cream bottles, shampoo bottles and cleaning product bottles, but it is also used to manufacture green plas-tic Woolworths bags – something that is not recyclable in kerbside recycling!

� is can get rather confusing, 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 con-tainer that is rigid, or holds its shape when crumpled or crushed, is easily recycled in Roxby Downs.

These rigid or ‘hard ’plastics include plastic soft drink bottles, orange juice bottles, cordial bot-tles, squeeze bottles, ice cream containers, yoghurt containers and margarine containers.

Anything that is easily squashed or crumpled is a soft plastic, and does not belong in the recycling bin.

This can include plastic bags, plastic packaging, post mail bags, polystyrene meat trays and biscuit trays.

For more information on plas-tics and recycling right in Roxby Downs, contact Roxby Council on 8671 0010 or BSH Waste Solutions on 8671 1154.

Janie’s volunteering joyWRITTEN BYPATRICK GLOVER

J anie Butterworth’s work with the Roxby Downs Area School Parents and Friends

committee, the Strengthening Our Families program and the kindergarten playgroup was recently recognised by being named February’s Volunteer of the Month.

Mrs Butterworth returned to Rox-

by Downs six years ago, and since then has volunteered in whatever groups her children have been in-volved with.

“As the kids have grown we’ve moved on to diff erent things,” she said. “It kind of just works in with the kids, like at the moment I always go to Toddler Story Time anyway so I just help out while I’m there.

“I go to playgroup as well, so it just all fi ts in.”

Mrs Butterworth said there were a number of other benefits that

stemmed from being a volunteer including making new friends, net-working and simply helping out the community.

She will be donating the $100 she received from Beyond Bank to help the Strengthening our Families Dads ’n’ Kids group buy new equipment.

Mrs Butterworth encouraged lo-cals to become a part of the tight-knit volunteer group in Roxby Downs.

“You only get out what you put in,” she added.

The Roxby Downs Swimming Club celebrated the end of the 2014/15 season with a presenta-tion night last Saturday at the bowling club.

Club representative Tanya Parker said the gathering acknowledged the “fabulous” swimmers and their achievements while also celebrating the involvement of coaches, committee members and parents.

“Without everybody’s commitment, the club would not function,” she said.

“� e coaches give up their time each week to guide our swimmers to achieve the best they can.

“All of our coaches have no children of their own in-volved with the club, so I think this just highlights the dedication they have for our swimmers and our club.

“We have had a new president this season who had big shoes to fi ll from the previous two presidents, and who has been extremely dedicated to making the season a fun and productive one.

“All of our swimmers should be very proud of themselves, with all of them achieving many personal bests throughout the season.

“A massive thank you to everyone who came to our ‘rock star’ night – it was fantastic to see all dressed up and having fun.

“Bring on season 2015/16!”2014/15 AWARD WINNERS

OD makes surprise A grade turnaround

VERITY CASSERLYNETBALL REPORTER


Roxby’s 11 and under netball team for the Spencer Gulf Carnival was the standout

performer at Port Augusta on Sunday, May 17.

After losing its fi rst game to Port Lincoln in a close match, it bounced back to win the next two and earn itself a spot in the fi nals.

� e junior netballers defeated Port Augusta Two in the fi rst fi nal before going down to the Port Augusta One in the fi nal.

“� ey went really well, especially considering it was their fi rst time competing in the carnival,” said Rox-by Downs Netball Association squad co-ordinator � eresa Wurfel.

The 13 and under and 15 and under sides were less successful at the carnival, with both sides going through the competition without wins.

“All teams were in division one, so it would have been a bit of a shock for them,” Wurfel said.

“Up here they just play their friends, whereas at the carnivals there is not just one strong player there is constant pressure over the

whole court, but it is a good learning curve for them and great for player development.”

Players will now turn their atten-tion to the country championships being played in Adelaide on the June long weekend.

� e 13 and under and 15 and un-der championship teams are set to be announced this week in light of the recent open trials.

Meanwhile 10 locals took part in a level one accredited foundation coaching course run by Netball SA’s Roz Fraser at the St Barbara’s Parish School hall last week.

J ayden Brind has been selected in the fi nal cut of 40 for the South Australian under 18 football side.

As reported in � e Monitor earlier this month, Brind was selected in the initial squad of 47 on the back of some solid form in the fi rst three rounds for West Adelaide’s under 18s.

The squad then played two trial games against Norwood and the Port Adelaide academy side, with Brind playing one of these and doing enough to make the fi nal team.

Brind missed out on selection for the fi rst game against Western Australia in which it lost by just one point.

However, another familiar name to the region, Luke Partington, was named best on ground for South Aus-tralia in the game aga inst WA.

B roken Hill footballers levelled the Miners Cup series to four each when they managed to scramble home with

a well-earned three-point victory over Far North at Adelaide Oval on Sunday.

Going into the game as the underdogs, Bro-ken Hill clawed its way to a relatively low score of 4.14 (38) to the Wedgies’ 5.5 (35).

After promising so much, the game failed to rise to any great heights. With both defences on top, it was left to the running players to try and secure victory.

Far North’s Cody Kenny, skipper Craig Hall and late inclusion Kane Zeptner were very active in the fi rst term, with Ashley Baxter kicking two goals in the fi rst to see Far North

lead at quarter time by two points. Broken Hill was likewise winning plenty

of the Sherrin around the halfback line and across the centre, but was unable to penetrate the strong Far North defence and was forced to kick from the 50m arc, leading to a string of behinds.

Broken Hill’s Marc Purcell was playing bril-liant football, along with Jayden Kelly, Jordan Johns and Jordan Tonkin setting up many for-ward thrusts only to see their eff orts thwarted by their Far North counterparts.

Both backlines were on top, with Far North’s Tim Milner and Alex Stopp playing blinders, ably supported by Kenny, Hall, James Telfer and Matthew Schipper.

For Broken Hill, Ben Thompson, Todd Blacksell and Heath Harris were outstanding in defence.

Cody Shorn slotted Broken Hill’s third goal of the afternoon to see his side lead at the major change by three points.

� e third quarter saw another goal to Bro-ken Hill from inspirational skipper Brett Mar-tin, who scored his third for the afternoon but was answered moments later when Baxter scored another class goal to see Far North lead by one point at the fi nal change.

It became a battle of defences, with Broken Hill locking down the defensive 50. Although neither side could buy a goal in the last quar-ter, a goal would have been game changer.

Scores were level with only four and a half minutes left before Broken Hill surged for-ward on three more occasions but only man-aged three behinds.

� e excitement rose to fever pitch when, with 40 seconds remaining, Kenny found some space and passed truly to a running Telfer, who put the ball toward the goal square but was beaten by the bleating siren, leaving the win to Broken Hill by just three points.

Best for the Far North team was Haris Vr-bovac, Jonathan Veale and Cody Kenny.

In a low-scoring game, Ashley Baxter was the standout in front of goals with three out of the fi ve majors.
