A fter more than 26 years working in the community and in countless roles in volunteer groups, local stalwart Vern

Kruger was awarded the 2015 Roxby Downs Citizen of the Year Award.

To add to the local honours, one of Anda-mooka’s longest standing residents has earned a place on the national Australia Day honours list, as well as being named the Andamooka Citizen of the Year.

Well-known local Stefan Bilka was awarded for his involvement and work in the local SES brigade as well as his eff orts for numerous oth-er causes during his 47 years in Andamooka.

Roxby Downs again recognised some of its outstanding citizens in the annual Australia Day Awards on Monday, with a traditional barbeque breakfast at the local pool.

Mr Kruger has enjoyed many roles within th e local community. He is currently presi-dent of the Roxby Downs Area School (RDAS) Parents and Friends (P&F) committee, and is a member of the RDAS governing council, RFDS Auxiliary, St John’s Ambulance; SES; Roxby Downs Christian Community Church; Senior Basketball Association – just to name a few.

“It’s huge. A massive honour,” Mr Kruger said.

“I had no idea I was nominated.”Mr Kruger is a quiet achiever and like most

volunteers, does not do the roles for the ac-colades.

Having been in Roxby Downs for over 26 years he has seen many changes, but some-thing that hasn’t changed is his passion for volunteer roles.

“People need help, as do a lot of organ-isations. some would not exist without vol-unteers, some I have helped for my family, friends, the community or just my own inter-est,” he said.

“Everyone should get out and have a go it

doesn’t have to be a lifelong commitment. Help out when you can how you can and in some-thing that interests you.

“You meet great people and have fun it’s a very rewarding experience and we have a huge selection of groups in Roxby Downs.”

Mr Bilka said getting on the national Aus-tralia Day Honor list was a true honour.

“It feels good, it is nice,” Mr Bilka said.Mr Bilka stepped into his role at the SES

back in 1997 when, as chairperson of APOMA (Andamooka Progress and Opal Miners Asso-ciation), he put his hand up to help build the relationship between the SES and CFS.

So he became the manager and controller of the SES and has been there ever since, helping people in all ways possible.

Mr Bilka said he hoped this award would attract more people to the SES and Emergency Services in the area.

Gemma Th omas was named Roxby Downs Young Citizen of Th e Year, the Roxby Christ-mas Pageant was named Best Community Event of Th e Year.

Tony McGauchie was awarded the Sport-sperson of Th e Year Award, and 10-year-old motocross champion Taj Gow-Smith was awarded the Young Sportsperson of Th e Year.

Th e Sports Team of the Year went to the Roxby Districts Miners Sports Club and Tami-ka Berryman was Awarded the Young Sport-person’s Encouragement Award.

Roxby Council Administrator Bill Boehm said all award winners were deserving of their awards and events like this were essential in recognising town’s “champions”.

“I think the public have made a good choice with all the award winners,” Mr Boehm said.

“Th ere was an excellent turnout and the weather was good so it was a perfect way to start a school year.”

Mr Boehm said it was up to the public to vote for award recipients, and asked locals to continue to support the valued members of the community by nominating and voting during next year’s round.

L aura Trotta has stepped down as Chairperson

of the Business Forum after three years in the role saying it was time for some new ideas.

It is still unknown who will fi ll her posi-tion, but Mrs Trotta said there were plenty of “talented business people” on the board and in town that were ready to fi ll her shoes.

“Offi cially after three years in the position, it’s time for some new ideas and leadership to fl ow into the group,” she said.

“So by stepping down, it allows others to step up and continue to grow and shape the forum.”

As well as having been the chairperson of the business forum Mrs Trotta has also been running her own business, Sustainababy, and raising a family.

“Running a growing business around two young children is full on and is getting harder as the kids get older, (and) drop naps, (and) be involved in more activities etc.

“I work until midnight most nights, run a house-hold, and look after my children most days of the week.

“My business is just me and I don’t have a heap of staff or a head offi ce supporting me, so I really need to re-focus and not spread myself too thin, as my family can’t aff ord for me to crash and burn.

“I prefer to do less things really well, than commit and do a half-baked job.”

Mrs Trotta has been chairperson since the busi-ness forum re-formed three years ago and said the thing she has enjoyed most about the position is building the forum and helping them to establish a solid business plan.

Th e forum under Mrs Trotta’s guidance also in-troduced the Roxby Down’s Business Awards, and held a number of training and networking events.

“I’d like to thank Lisa (Hewerdine) and Sasha (Yantewo) for their ongoing support, Sandy (Sum-sion) as deputy chair and all members of the BFESC for their commitment, eff ort and support,” she said. BY PATRICK GLOVER

A fter 24 years of calling Roxby Downs home Sally Cormack has swapped the red sand for white

beaches and taken on the principal’s role at Port Neil Primary School.

Moving to Roxby Downs as a single woman she met her husband and raised her children locally.

“I will miss it (Roxby Downs), it has been such a big part of our lives,” Mrs Cormack said.

“But I think there comes a time in every-one’s life where you have to try something diff erent.”

Mrs Cormack said she has seen many changes in Roxby Downs in her 24 years

but nothing as big as the population which has ebbed and fl owed due to the growth and decline of the mine over the years.

She has seen Lake Mary fi ll up twice, every colour of Sturt Dessert Pea blossom, and the road to Andamooka be bitumi-nised.

Her career has also gone through a num-ber of changes, starting as a kindergarten teacher before moving up to take over the director’s role for 12 years.

In 2003 she moved to Roxby Downs Area School where she started in junior primary and soon became junior primary coordi-nator before becoming the acting senior leader of Receptions to Year 6. She fi nished her time with three terms at Andamooka Primary School last year.

“It has been the best place to bring up my children,” she said.

“It is safe and there were plenty of oppor-tunities for them which is why we stayed.”

Sally’s husband will remain in Roxby Downs and will travel to and from Tumby Bay where Mrs Cormack will be living, while her children will be studying at St Joseph’s College in Port Lincoln.

But while she is leaving a place she has become so comfortable in, she is excited about the challenge ahead.

“I was a bit nervous because I didn’t know anyone but every single day you are fi nding someone with connections to you,” she said.

“Roxby Downs is one of those places be-cause everyone is from somewhere else.”

Not only has Mrs Cormack got a new job but has also taken on a Diploma in Strate-gic Leadership through the Department for Education and Child Development to comple ment her new role.

ANZAC Day passion may get local students trip to CanberraLocal students could be given

the chance to visit Canberra for the famous ANZAC Day

parade as part of the 100 year anniversary celebrations in 2015.

With a Federal competition already being run like this nationally, with winners earning a trip to ANZAC cove in Turkey, Roxby Travel and Cruises Mike French wanted to give local children the same opportunity.

“Th e idea is to pump up kids and let them know how important it (the ANZAC history) is,” Mr French told Th e Monitor.

“It is what I grew up with, but now it is a diff erent age and a diff erent era. Th ere are no Galipoli veterans alive today.”

Under the proposed plans Mr French and possibly other members of the community would visit schools in Roxby Downs, Andamooka, Woomera and Maree and then kids would enter a competition by writing a piece on what ANZAC Day means to them.

ANZAC Day is a topic that is close to Mr French’s heart and why he is pressing so hard to get this competi-tion up and running.

His grandfather was part of the fi rst landing and came back from war wounded three times - only to return each time.

“I grew up with ANZAC Day being more important than Christmas Day,” Mr French said.

“I have a lot of books and my grand-father’s medals, which I am having fi xed up at the moment so they can be put on display (in the library).”

Th e library will be doing its usual display for ANZAC Day and the RSL Club is in the process of planning events to mark the special occasion.

With the idea of this competition

still in its early stages, Mr French is

looking for people or businesses to

help support the idea.

Alliance has already jumped on

board and Mr French is hoping more

businesses won’t be far behind.

“It is a once in a life time opportu-

nity for these students,” he said.

“Th e kids up here don’t get very

many opportunities like this.”

Mr French hopes to help local chil-

dren learn more about ANZAC Day

as part of the initiative.

BHP Billiton Olympic Dam may be forced to cut more jobs as it looks to further

reduce costs as external fac-tors continue to challenge the mining heavyweight.

Th e copper price continues to fall as it reaches the lowest level in almost six years, forcing BHP Billiton to further look at cash fl ow reductions.

“With this fall in price, we have no choice but to further acceler-ate our cash reduction eff orts,”

BHP Olympic Dam Asset Presi-dent Darryl Cuzzubbo said.

“As part of this exercise, we are currently reviewing our head-count to determine how to meet the challenge of rebalancing our workforce to enable us to achieve the increased development and production activities in the mine.”

BHP Billiton Olympic Dam expects to fi nish its review next month with the possibility of job losses.

“If the outcome results in re-ducing some positions in the business we will communicate to those impacted as soon as possi-ble,” Mr Cuzzubbo said.

R ates for water and electricity in Roxby Downs have risen again, with the new charges coming into eff ect on January 1.

Water rates rose by fi ve per cent and sewerage by eight per cent, while electricity rates also rose by eight per cent.

However, Roxby Council said all the rate rises were lower than fi rst budgeted in last year’s annual budget.

“We are trying to run things eff ectively and effi ciently,” Roxby Coun-cil Administrator Bill Boehm said.

“If we don’t have to raise rates we won’t but if we do, we will.”Mr Boehm said while rates have again risen in Roxby Downs they

still remain lower than those in Adelaide.“Despite the elements in Roxby Down being more extreme than in

Adelaide our rates remain less by 10 per cent,” Mr Boehm said.Th e standard water supply charge has jumped from $47.50 to $55

while electricity has jumped from $63 to $66.With electricity and water bills having just been released, the new

rate will not come into eff ect until the next billing period.While utility rates have increased the volume of water sold and rate

of power consumption was at an all-time low last year. Volume of water sold was at a three year low while power consump-

tion was at a seven year low which Mr Boehm said can be the result of two things – population or weather.

Flyers have been sent out with each electricity and water bill to explain these changes and why they have taken place.

Impacts of infl ation and increasing operating costs, the deferral of BHP Billiton’s mine expansion as well as increased price of water purchased from BHP Billiton it said to have aff ected water rates.

Increased costs of works involved with electricity operation, as well as adequate allowances for the decrease of electrical assets were also given as reasons for the change in electricity rates.

Anyone requiring further information should contact Roxby Coun-cil on 8671 0010 or [email protected] or pay the offi ce a visit on Richardson Place. BY PATRICK GLOVER

What started out as just another English assign-ment for local girl Emily

Secker has now turned out to be the winning entrant in the ABC’s Heywire story competition for her region.

Emily currently boards at Port Lincoln’s St Joseph’s College and will now be off to Canberra in two weeks to attend the Heywire summit.

“It was a complete shock,” Emily told Th e Monitor.

“I didn’t expect it at all.”Th e story she wrote talked about

her time at the boarding house in Port Lincoln and how it has become like a family away from home.

Emily is heading into Year 12 this year and said she has enjoyed her time in Port Lincoln and the board-ing house but could not pick which

place she liked better.“Th ey (Port Lincoln and Roxby

Downs) are both better in their own ways,” she said.

Her story, and a voice recording, has also been sent to the ABC, who run the competition.

Although Emily hasn’t heard it yet, her winning entry is doing the rounds on ABC radio.

Following a successful pilot trial in 2014 St Barbara’s Primary School has received more

funding to invest in iPads.

Th e school, through money provid-ed by funds raised during the Post-ie Bash and the school Parent and Friends committee, has brought a substantial amount of iPads that will be ready to use as the 2015 school year begins this week.

“iPads are the way of the future,” St Barbara’s ICT Coordinator Lucy Pick-ering said.

“Kids have used them from when they are two years old and so now they can come to school and learn to use them for things like problem solving, starting to write, design and drawing.

“It opens up a whole new world of learning.”

Th e junior primary (Foundation to

Year 2) classes will benefi t most from this infl ux with a 1:4 ratio of iPads to students.

Primary classes (Years 3-6) will have access to both iPads and laptops and all middle school students (Years 7-9) have a laptop plus have access to a bank of iPads.

Miss Pickering said with touch tech-nology being a current and future form of education the iPads would be an on-going project.

St Barbara’s principal Terry Kluzek said there was now a heavy emphasis on ITC in the Australian curriculum and this technology would allow St Barbara’s to stay with the times.

“Regardless of our location we are fully aligned with city schools,” Miss Pickering said.

“ITC is the way of the future, it can provide learning tools to help educate

in the best possible way,” Mr Kluzek said.

“It can also be socially benefi cial, used to keep up with friends and fam-ily.”

Mr Kluzek said he was also aware of the dangers that working with these kind of social media programs can bring and said the students at St Bar-bara’s would be taught about all the safety aspects as well.

Miss Pickering said one of the other teachers had written her master’s the-sis on touch technology which showed, while laptops are not obsolete, touch technology was more benefi cial.

She said things like being able to use iBooks rather than actual text books or laptops made studying texts easier, be-cause iPads allowed students to high-light and mark important information.

Not only will the c hildren be learn-

ing but Mr Kluzek said it was a fantas-tic opportunity for families to learn to-gether with students then able to head home and teach their parents how to use them.

“It is not just at school (the iPads can be benefi cial) but also in the commu-nity,” he said.

Mr Kluzek said with the signifi cance of technology in today’s schools it was great to have the support of the P&F to supply St Barbara’s with all this new equipment.

“It is great to see they value IT and recognise the way forward for the chil-dren,” Mr Kluzek said.

“It is real life learning at their fi n-gertips, a skill children will be able to use to successfully become a part of the world.”

A ll BHP Billiton worksites became smoke free on

January 1 and three weeks in everything is going well.

BHP Billiton Olympic Dam Head of Health, Safety and Environment Brett McNeil said the smoking ban had been well received by all em-ployees on site.

“Th ree weeks post-im-plementation of this in-itiative, we fi nd this has been well received with 109 employees opting for Nicotine Replacement Th erapy,” he said.

“’Th is is very encourag-ing as this is the most ef-fective method for people to stop smoking while at work, or quit altogether.”

The Site Health Cen-tre has provided a three group Quit session per crew for this month, and one-on-one sessions will continue into the coming months.

“We recognise that this change has been challeng-ing for members of the Olympic Dam family and we will continue to sup-port our colleagues in the same way that we would support members of our family,” Mr McNeil said.

The benefits of a new $476 million Industry Skills Fund will be felt across Grey with

Australian businesses now able to apply for support to boost the skills of their workforce.

Federal Member for Grey Rowan Ramsey is encouraging local busi-nesses to apply for funding and im-prove business opportunities through training places and ongoing support.

“The fund will provide up to 200,000 training places and skills advice for businesses over the next four years, and is a key element of the

Abbott Government Industry Inno-vation and Competitiveness Agenda,” he said.

“Th is is a new way of providing support to businesses that need to upskill or retrain their employees to enable their business to grow, diver-sify, adopt new technologies, or take advantage of new market opportu-nities.

“I especially encourage businesses involved in advanced manufacturing, food and agribusiness, medical tech-nology, mining equipment, and oil, gas and energy resources to apply for

the Industry Skills Fund. “Th is is a real change in emphasis

in the way we deliver skills training, by empowering employers to help shape the training their staff receive and participate in preparing new em-ployees for their particular work task.

“It will help boost productivity and shut down on the ‘training for train-ing sake’ model.

“The structure of this funding follows a series of skills forums I or-ganised in Grey, in which local busi-ness and training providers took the opportunity to identify issues they

faced.” The fund will primarily target

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to better position themselves for growth opportunities. A business will be considered as ‘positioning for growth’ if the business falls into one or more of the following categories:

Diversifying into new or emerging markets and/or;

Adopting new or emerging tech-nologies and/or;

Entering export markets for the fi rst time and/or

Responding to signifi cation new

domestic market opportunities and/or;

Repositioning because of market driven structural adjustment.

Businesses wanting support to train workers will be required to make a contribution to the cost of training. Th e co-contribution rate depends on the number of employ-ees, with smaller businesses receiving higher levels of support.

Guidelines and more information are available at www.business.gov.au

Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, throughout the year.

Former locals Shaun and Christine Doran have won $10,000 after answer-ing a simple question in a Smartline

competition. Th e national competition open to all home

loan clients ran in October last year and asked the question: ‘what is your best tip for paying off your Mortgage sooner?’

Out of 7361 responses Shaun and Christine were picked as the winners.

“I was dancing around my friend’s kitchen in Adelaide when (our Smarline Broker) Jo

(Dillon) rang,” Mrs Doran said.“It didn’t feel real, it was so exciting.“It was a brilliant present for us all lead-

ing up to Christmas in addition to it being a double celebration that weekend in Adelaide where we were visiting for our friends’ wed-ding.”

Th e couple was one of Joanne Dillion’s fi rst clients when she became a Smartline Personal Mortgage Advisor in Roxby Downs two years ago and she said it couldn’t have happened to two better people.

“Th ey were previous clients of mine at NAB so they were very loyal and followed me and have done well,” Mrs Dillon said.

“Having my fi rst clients win the prize is very

sweet.”Th e Doran’s must now decide what to spend

the money on but Mrs Doran said with a house still in Roxby Downs and a mortgage to pay off it would go towards those two things.

“We will defi nitely spend it wisely, we plan to put in towards our mortgage initially and we will probably get some more amazing ad-vice from our brilliant fi nancial advisor, but we might treat ourselves to a little holiday at some stage, as we do love a holiday,” she said.

“Maybe even a trip for the Roxby Races might be on the cards for 2015.”

Th e $10,000 tip the couple gave was simple: “Seek expert advice, become accountable, keep a focus upon achieving specifi c goals and cel-

ebrate every achievement.”Mrs Dillon said reading the Doran’s sub-

mission was like reading something she had written herself.

“It just shows they have embraced what I’ve told them and changed the way they run their fi nances,” she said.

“It has been ingrained in them and they are sticking to it and hitting those fi nancial mile-stones.”

Th e couple moved from Roxby Downs to Queensland last May but Mr Doran still fl ies in and out to work on site.

A rid Recovery will hold its annual trapping event next month in the aim to count the number of small

mammals and reptiles inside its fences.Th e event is one of the longest running pro-

grams of its kind in Australia, having begun in 1998, and this year will run from February 8 to 14.

“We get week long volunteers from out of town, we usually get eight or nine from ex-ternally,” Arid Recovery General Manager Kylie Piper said.

“Th en we get a couple of local volunteers every day. We even have St Barbs Years 3, 5 and 7 coming in for a day.”

Th ere are currently six to seven times more small mammals caught inside the fence then outside the fence.

But Ms Piper said it depends on the season from the previous year.

“After heavy rain there is a huge number of them,” she said.

“But it probably wasn’t big enough last year. Next year will be big because of the rain we just had, but it all depends on the season.

“Th is year will probably be around average.”A combination of pitfall and Elliot traps

are set up over 12,300 hectares of reserve in order to catch these mammals and reptiles.

Th ey are then weighed, measured and con-ditioned and returned to their location.

People can sign up at the Arid Recovery Facebook Page to volunteer and also keep up to date with how the trapping is going.

Updates will also be displayed on their web-site and at the Visitor Information Centre.

Unplanned power outages can occasionally occur in Roxby Downs, as we experienced a few weeks ago when the power unexpectedly cut out on a Monday afternoon.

Th ere are multiple factors that might contribute to an unplanned power outage, including faults in the local distribution network, severe weather conditions and birds balancing on the power lines causing a short circuit.

Unplanned power outages occur unexpectedly, and depending on the cir-cumstances, it can take anywhere from half an hour to a full day to have the power restored.

During the summer months the weather in Roxby can become extremely hot, with the occasional thunder and lightning storm.

We rely heavily on cooling for our house, food and pets, and many of us would be unsure how to stay cool in the event of an unplanned power outage.

If the power goes out during hot weather, it is important to ensure you and your family stay safe and healthy.

Th e best place to take refuge is within your own home, taking care to keep up fl uids to prevent the body from becoming dehydrated or overheated.

Th ere are many simple solutions to keep cool and stay safe whilst the power is out, including;

• Fill a bath or bowls with cold water• Use a wet face washer or wet towel• Fill a spray bottle with water and spray on the body• Keep curtains and blinds drawn• Stay out of the sun and limit exercise• Wear cool, light coloured, loose fi tting clothing• Fill bottles or jugs with drinking water and keep them in a cool, dark place• If available, use a battery operated personal fan• Do not open refrigerators or freezers any more than necessary• At night, if it is cooler outside, open windows or doors to let the cool air through. If the weather is still hot DO NOT open windows and doors as this will let hot air into the house.• If you feel dizzy, weak, or overheated, go to a cool place. Sit or lie down, drink water, and wash your face with cool water. If you don’t feel better soon, get medical help quickly.• Small generators are available to purchase from hardware stores. Th ese generators will power small portable air conditioners, and help keep one room in the house cool for refuge.Roxby Council has recently purchased a power generator to service roxbylink

in the event of a power outage. Th ere is still some construction work to do before the generator will be func-

tioning, but this will mean that the roxbylink complex will be able to operate as normal with the pool, leisure centre and library providing welcome relief from the hot weather in the event of a power outage.

Power outages can be diffi cult and frustrating, but unfortunately they are beyond control. Th ese tips may not be as eff ective or convenient as an icy cold air conditioner, but they will provide cool relief and ensure that you and your family are safe in the event of a summer power outage.

Staying cool when the power’s out

This means when your school student gets stuck on a study question, a real-life tutor is ready

online to help them get back on track and feel more confi dent.

Th is is also great for parents and fam-ilies (because sometimes, study can be stressful for the whole household).

Students can get essay writing feed-back, can ask for help with a question or two in maths, physics, biology, chemis-try, business studies and more.

Real –life help on line, on demand – sounds great right?

The Rox by D ow ns Bus ine ss Community comprises over 250 local Roxby Downs and Olympic Dam

based businesses.

All local businesses are members of the Roxby Downs Business Forum and the Busi-ness Forum Executive Steering Committee (BFESC) is the peak representative body for the forum.

Th e role of the BFESC is to represent the interests of all local Roxby and Olympic Dam businesses, to promote a sustainable business environment and economic growth in Roxby Downs. Th e BFESC is an interde-pendent forum of the Community Board.

During 2014, the BFESC came together to start to formulate the forum’s strategic and business plans. Th e plan is in the early stages and will continue to be built upon in 2015.

You can still be a part of the Business Fo-rum Executive Steering Committee to help shape the future direction of this powerful and resourceful forum for the best interests

of our business community. Th e vision for the Business Forum is, ‘We are the voice of the Roxby Downs business community and we support every local business to reach their potential’.

Over the last three years the Business Fo-rum has introduced many successful events including the Roxby Business Awards Gala Dinner, workshops for business related top-ics, business networking breakfasts and oth-er initiatives including a tourism brochure, Buy Local campaign, bi-monthly e-newslet-ter and other training opportunities.

At the helm of the BFESC has been Laura Trotta since 2011. Laura is the founder and director of the successful online business, Sustainababy, and has won many highly es-teemed awards for her business.

Laura has helped achieve a strong foun-dation for the Executive Committee thanks to her immense passion and sheer determi-nation. Although she has decided to step down, the forum will still have Laura as a valuable member, with many ideas to con-tribute.

Th e time she has dedicated to the Busi-ness Forum is unmeasurable and her drive to see the forum succeed is evident through the successful initiatives undertaken.

Th e Deputy Chair of the forum, Sandy Sumsion will continue as deputy of the committee until the Chair position is fi lled. Th e BFESC is bustling with interested new members for 2015 and is shaping up to be a rich and diverse committee.

Th e executive of the committee will be comprised of 20 members and if you are interested in becoming a member of the BFESC, you can talk to Sasha Yantewo on 86710010 or email [email protected] for more information.

Th e fi rst meeting for 2015 will be a casual meeting over dinner on Monday, February 9 at 6pm at Th e Club in the upstairs board-room.

If you are interested in the BFESC no ex-perience is required - just a lot of passion and commitment about supporting the busi-nesses in Roxby Downs and Olympic Dam to grow and thrive.

S chool is back for another year and Roxby Roadsafe is reminding motorists to

be extra cautious whilst driving around town.

Students will be travelling to and from school on foot and on their bikes, and motorists will need to share the road with attentiveness, particularly just before and after school.

Pedestrian incidents can occur during any time of day; however there are peak times when the num-ber of serious casualties is particu-larly high.

Sixty per cent of crashes that re-sulted in a serious or fatal injury of a pedestrian were during the hours of 7am - 7pm, with a peak occurring between 4 – 5pm when parents and children are most active after school.

Approximately one in every eight road deaths in South Australia is a pedestrian, with an average of 87 pe-destrians seriously injured and 262 who receive minor injuries on South Australian roads each year.

School-aged pedestrians are small-er, harder for drivers to see and less predictable than other pedestrians.

In the event of a collision children are more likely to have serious minor injuries because their whole body is more likely to be hit by the vehicle.

While the statistics do not show child pedestrian casualties to be a major contributor, drivers need to take precautionary actions to ensure that incidents are minimal.

There are multiple pedestrian crossings within Roxby Downs that are frequently used to get to and from school. These are the safest places for students to cross the road, and motorists need to use vigilance when approaching and travelling through these crossings.

Th e two main crossing types are slightly diff erent, and are explained in some detail below;

Wombat crossing:Th e wombat crossing is located in

Richardson Place and is a pedestrian crossing placed on a raised section of road. Motorists are to travel at no more than 40 kilometres per hour when approaching the crossing and must stop for pedestrians at the

crossing at any time of day, as pedes-trians have right of way.

Th e driver must not proceed until there is no pedestrian on or entering the crossing.

School (Emu) Crossing:Both the Roxby Downs Area

School and St. Barbara’s Parish School crossings are Emu Crossings.

They have red and white posts and only operate when the Children Crossing fl ags are displayed.

Th e Emu crossing is placed within a School Zone, and a speed limit of 25 kilometre per hour applies when children are present'.

It is the driver's responsibility to give way at an emu crossing when the flags are being displayed and children are present.

When approaching a crossing it is important to remember that chil-dren do not always have a good sense of road safety and can also be easily distracted.

We all have a duty of care to en-sure that everyone stays safe when travelling to and from school. For more information on South Austral-ian road rules including pedestrian crossings and road safety tips visit www.mylicence.sa.gov.au

W i t h t h e Twenty20 fi nal only two weeks

away, a spot was up for grabs when Olympic Dam took on the Roxby Rogues last Friday night.

Olympic Dam won the toss and elected to bat fi rst and set about putting the Rogues to the sword.

Opener Tom Krieg re-turned after a few rounds off and batted through the innings to fi nish unbeaten on 89.

He was supported well by the rest of the top four batsmen with no one else required, with Olympic Dam finishing their 20 overs 2/200.

Lewis Heinrich sup-ported fellow opening partner Krieg well with 39, Brendan Hill contin-ued his good form with 34 and Ryan Bennett re-turned to the side to con-tribute a quick fi re 21 not out at the end.

In reply the Rogues were restricted to nine for 80 off their 20 overs with only Michael Nelson providing some resistance with 33.

Wickets were shared around for Olympic Dam – Lucas Holbrook contin-uing his good form with the ball taking three wick-ets and Seb Holbrook and Adam Harris chipping in with two each.

Olympic Dam has now secured a spot in the fi nal and will face the winner of Hornridge and Rogues in this Friday nights fi x-ture.

The Roxby Academy of Dance will start classes a gain next week and Miss Lana Chamberlain is happy

with the numbers representing the academy this year.

Over 200 people have enrolled in var-ying dance classes following the club’s enrolment session last Friday night.

“The enrolment night was really good,” she said.

“Th ere weren’t a lot of people … but a lot of people headed out of town for the weekend on Friday so I have had a lot of messages asking to enrol since then.”

Miss Lana said class sizes continued to grow each year evident by the 120 new students this year.

Class numbers for the adult sessions have especially increased, rising to an all-time high.

“I started workshops for adults when the academy started a few years ago and there was only seven or eight people,” she said.

“Now there are 40. Every year there is just more and more.

“Th e adult classes are a lot of fun be-cause they (dancers) are just doing it for themselves.”

Th e academy also has a new teacher – Tine Noble - who will be taking four ballet classes.

Roxby Academy of Dance will be cel-ebrating its fi fth birthday this year and with 45 classes on off er it’d going to be a big year.

Th ere will be three concerts this year, rather than two, with guest appearances from outside dancers, including past dancers from the academy.

Dancers will again take part in both group and solo competitions and ex-ams throughout the year and perform in Adelaide at the Festival Th eatre.

Miss Lana was excited to announce CanDance for a Cure will be holding auditions in Roxby Downs this year, to give Roxby Downs’ students the opportunity to be a part of that dance alongside some of the best dancers in Adelaide.

“(If they are successful) they will dance with the best students in Ade-laide,” she said.

“Fifty of Adelaide’s best (dancers) in one dance will be great. Th ey will get to meet new people form those bonds with other dancers, see what the stand-ards are like elsewhere.

“Th at’s why competitions are so good because you go out there and see the standards and then have something to strive for.”

BY PATRICK GLOVER


Four local footballers have been selected to train in the West Adelaide Under 16 squad.

John Secker, Jake Male, Rudayne Hadfi eld and Eli Taylor were selected to train with the SANFL junior squad and have so far fi tted in well.

“We have been going since about mid-De-cember and they have all settled in well,” West

Adelaide Under 16 coach Jason Fairall said.“All the boys have fi tted in well and are very

coachable.”John Secker, fresh from being named best

player for the Roxby Downs area by West Ad-elaide last year, has impressed West Adelaide’s coaching staff once again.

Not only has he started training with the West Adelaide Under 16 squad but he has also been nominated by the club to train with the Under 16 state country squad with the poten-tial to be selected in the Under 16 state side.

While the start of the season is still a while

off , intra-club trial matches will begin this week with spots in the round 1 team up for grabs.

“Th ey (four Roxby Downs boys) are all in the mix, we rate them pretty highly,” Fairall said.

“Th ere has only been eight sessions and most of the coaches are new so we are all try-ing to learn about all of the players.”

Fairall came across to the Bloods this season after spending last year with the Port Adelaide Magpies and he has been impressed with what he has seen so far.

In an interview with Th e Monitor he said

he was particular impressed with the junior development from the club’s country zones.

“West Adelaide actually do things diff erently to everyone else (other SANFL clubs),” he said.

“From the ages of 13 to 15 they get all the best players in their zone and bring them to-gether in the aim of getting all the country boys with the metro boys.

“So by the time they get to Under 16 level they all know each other really well.

“I have coached at Port Adelaide and the Eagles (Woodville-West Torrens) and they don’t do that, so it is a big tick.”
