The Far North of South Australia will be well represented in the Outback Communities Authority come July

1, with three of the four new appointees all based north of Woomera.

Former Andamooka Progress Opal Min-ers Association Chairperson Peter Allen, Marree Hotel co-lessee Marilyn Turner and co-manager of a pastoral property on the Strzelecki track Joyleen Maud Booth will move into position at the start of the fi nancial year.

Independent chair of the Andamooka Town Management Committee Cecilia Woolford has also been appointed as Chair-person of the OCA.

The OCA manages the provision and improvement of public services and facili-ties for more than 30 outback communities across South Australia, and aims to help communicate the views, interests and as-pirations of those communities.

As from July 1 this year, Ms Woolford will have served 18 months as ATMC’s in-dependent chairperson. She will then move into her role with the OCA – something she would not be able to do, had she retained her role as independent chair of ATMC.

“First of all I’d like to say that I’m really thrilled to have had been off ered the posi-tion of chair at the OCA and I’m following in very big footsteps from Mr Bill McKin-tosh, so I’m very proud to be able to follow him, and I hope that I can continue his good work,” Ms Woolford told Th e Monitor on Monday.

Ms Woolford is pleased with the new

structure of the OCA, which retains three old members, and welcomes the four new.

“I think the changes are really positive… from my point of view we’re retaining his-torical knowledge and the corporate knowl-edge of what the OCA has been doing, but we have room now to be quite innovative on how we move forward,” she said.

From July 1, the ATMC will also see a change in governance structure, as chosen by the community earlier this year. It will change the current committee structure comprised of two members of the OCA, two members of APOMA and an inde-pendent chair, to an independent chair, two APOMA members, one member of the OCA and one member of the community.

Mr Allen, who spent a number of years not only with APOMA, but volunteering his time to facilitate municipal services in Andamooka prior to the instalment of the ATMC, is also excited to join.

“I think my knowledge of the unincorpo-rated areas of the state is quite extensive, having had interaction with most of the towns, certainly all the towns to the north of us over the last three to four years,” Mr Allen told Th e Monitor.

He said his hands on experience with is-sues within isolated communities will help with decision making processes within the OCA.

“I’m looking forward to being of some value to the outback in general and I hope that the decision to appoint me will ulti-mately be justifi ed over time.”

Roxby Downs Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) will soon expand to off er a new room and new services to local families.

A recent national report showed a shortage of out of hours school care services across Australia has left one in fi ve chil-dren home alone.

According to an article in Th e Advertiser last week, one in ten working mothers admitted to leaving their children home until they fi nished work, and one in fi ve children aged 10 – 11 are left to their own devices after school.

Th e information was taken from a recently released study done by the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS).

Roxby Downs OSHC Director Diane Stanton said while there had been times in the past space was limited at the local centre, they were about to embark on a large upscale.

Since moving premises within Roxby Downs Area School, OSHC now has the capacity to cater for 40 children, up from a previous 20. Th e group is currently awaiting fi nal depart-mental approvals.

“I’m just about to have a grand opening in the next couple of months to let people realise we have a new service and a new room,” Mrs Stanton told Th e Monitor last week.

Th e AIFS study, which involved 4000 children between ages 10 and 11 years, also showed children’s preferred after school activity was watching television, and that those left unsuper-vised were less likely to do homework and read.

“Our services are what you call an education and care ser-vice,” Mrs Stanton said. “We focus on life skill education, and assisting children with homework and we have facilities for children with additional needs.”

Roxby Downs OSHC also runs a curriculum called ‘My Time, Our Place’, promoting a sense of community to chil-dren, amicable tendencies, and an understanding of diff erent cultures, religions and point of view.

Th ey also off er training in literacy and numeracy and other basic education, as well as nutritional morning and afternoon

snacks. Th e OSHC service is available for primary school chil-dren up to the age of 13, and an independent assessment is undertaken for additional needs students.

Th e Federal Government off ers a 50 per cent rebate for out of hours care for working parents.

SA does not have a law to specify when children are old enough to be left alone.

Federal Government fi gures show 315,000 children are enow nrolled in outside school hours care - a seven per cent rise on the previous year.

More than 200 people a t t e n d e d S a r a h ‘Fairybelle’ Sanders’ fairy

and superhero themed Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser on Sunday, raising over $2000 for the Cancer Council.

Th e event was a huge success, in what is said to be Fairybelle’s ‘last big hurrah’ before moving to Adelaide in the next year.

Parents and children lined up outside the auditorium before the 11am start time, leaving Sarah simply overwhelmed.

“To make that much money, was awesome!” Sarah told The Monitor on Monday. “I was pret-ty overwhelmed by the response actually.

“It almost brought me to tears … to see how many people actual-ly got behind me, it was awesome. And I was proud, just proud for what I had achieved but also, proud of the people of Roxby, that they thought it was a great cause to support.”

Sarah lost her father to cancer as a teen, and stressed the impor-tance of fundraising for cancer research, and raising awareness

for not only adults, but children as well.

“It was just a great day for fam-ilies, to see families come out, see people smiling, and because the town is so… sad, it was great to see everyone come and have so much fun, smile, laugh, families have their photos taken… it was a good environment to be in,” she said.

Sarah thanks her sponsors and all volunteers on the day,

especially Cherie Gaskin, who worked tirelessly to bake dozens of cupcakes which children were able to decorate as part of the fundraising activities .

On Th ursday, June 20, two male youths were reported for causing damage and entering

a vacant house in Roxby Downs.

Th e youths were caught by a member of the public damaging the fl y screen on a window before entering the house.

Police later spoke with the males and their parents. A female youth was re-ported for causing damage at two va-cant houses in Roxby Downs.

Police have urged residents to be vig-ilant of neighbour’s properties, espe-cially vacant houses, and to report any unusual behaviour to the police when it occurs.

On Friday, June 21, a 28-year-old woman from Roxby Downs was report-

ed for driving with a prescribed concen-tration of alcohol. Th e woman recorded a reading of 0.131. She was issued with an instant licence disqualifi cation for six months and had her vehicle clamped for 28 days.

On Saturday, June 22, a 25-year- old man from Roxby Downs was reported for driving with a prescribed concen-tration of alcohol. Th e man recorded a reading of 0.116. He was issued with an instant licence disqualifi cation for six months and had his vehicle impounded for 28 days.

Police would like to remind drivers to make other arrangements if enjoying a night out so they won’t be tempted to drive their car home.

In a bid to boost Pap smear aware-ness, health services within Roxby Downs are off ering incentives for

women in Roxby Downs to book a pap smear in June or July.

Women who book pap smears at ei-ther the Roxby Downs Medical Practice or the Roxby Family Practice during these months will receive a free coff ee voucher at the Dunes Café.

Jazzy Grenville, Community Health Nurse, Roxby Downs Health Service, said all women who are over the age of 18 and sexually active should get reg-ular pap smears, including those who received the cervical cancer vaccine.

“Across Australia, we’ve seen a de-cline of 4.6 per cent in the screening rate for women aged 20-24, many of whom would have had the cervical can-cer vaccine,” Ms Grenville said recently.

“Many people think that if they’ve had the vaccine they don’t need to have a pap smear but while the vaccine pro-tects against the two main types of Hu-

man Papillomavirus’ (HPVs) that cause cervical cancer, there are still 10 other HPVs associated with cervical cancer.

“HPV is very common and in most cases it goes away on its own, but for a small number of women the virus hangs around. If left untreated it can lead to cervical cancer which is why regular pap smears are so important.”

To help women remember to make an appointment, SA Health has devel-oped a promotional video and a series of e-cards which can be shared on Face-book and Twitter.

Pap smears look for changes in the cells of the cervix, typically caused by the HPV.

Regular pap smears help to prevent up to 90 per cent of cervical cancers, by detecting and treating abnormal cells before cancer develops.

If unsure about pap smears, speak to a local GP or contact the SA Cervix Screening program on 13 15 56.

Roxby Business Spotlight

R O X B YC E N T R A L

By Millie Thomas

While ‘Roxby Traders Mitre 10’ may have changed hands earlier this month, their commitment to service and ‘community

mindedness’ remains the same.

Businessman Brian Smith took over Mitre10 on June 7 this year, and brought with him hardware ex-pert of 23 years Craig Dodman to manage the store.

Both Mr Smith and Mr Dodman have fi rm beliefs in the benefi ts of shopping locally, and a reciprocated support system within the community.

Mr Dodman fi rst became immersed in the Roxby Downs community while visiting to watch his son play football.

Irregular visits became steadily more regular, as he got to know Roxby’s unique personality.

“I started to really enjoy the community I suppose so I was coming up once a month. Th en when this opportunity came up I thought, it’s meant to be, so I did it!” he told Th e Monitor last week.

Roxby Traders Mitre10’s store’s versatility and ap-pealing customer service stood out to Mr Dodman, who believes shopping locally is ‘everything’.

“When I used to come into the store prior to man-aging it, the customer service was always good, really bright, friendly faces, that really appealed to me. Th e closeness of the community appealed to me,” he said.

“I think the diff erence we can off er is the customer service.”

Mr Dodman emphasised the need to shop locally to help retain Roxby’s plethora of local businesses.

“Roxby is a great little community and it seems really close from what I’ve experienced here and I’d

like to think we support each other,” he said. “It’s really easy to fall into a trap and drive south and

buy something down there, but they’re not going to put anything back into our community.”

Mr Dodman said Roxby Traders is able to off er similar, if not the same discounts as in Adelaide stores.

“We’re part of the leading appliances group, so you’ll see a catalogue come out usually about quar-terly on those. You’ll also see some Adelaide specials.

“Just because we’re in Roxby Downs doesn’t mean we don’t get Adelaide specials. Th e pricing is com-petitive!”

Coming into the new fi nancial year, Mr Dodman said Roxby Traders is looking to restock their instore range to help cater for the community’s needs.

“It’s our responsibility to make sure we run the busi-ness properly as well, that we don’t take for granted the business, we earn it, and I think given the oppor-tunity we should be able to do it,” he said.

Mr Dodman is excited to become entrenched more in the Roxby Downs community, and is interested in showing Roxby Traders’ support for the town’s not-for-profi t organisations.

“I think that’s where our businesses can make a diff erence, and if supported and given the opportunity to supply the customers within the town then we can give back,” he fi nished.

Roxby Traders Mitre10 off ers services from heavy building supplies and greenery, to manchester and electrical and is ready and willing to help you fi nd what you need.

For more information contact the store on (08) 8671 0322 or pop in at the corner of Tutop and Arcoona Streets.

F aux fur and sequins dazzled onlookers at the Roxby Early Learning Community Group’s

‘Great Gatsby’ themed fundraiser on Saturday night.

About 30 people attended the din-ner and movie night at the Roxby Cultural and Leisure Precinct, de-spite Saturday night’s cold weather and showers.

Th e night was held to raise mon-ey for RELCG to buy new outdoor equipment to help develop children’s fi ne motor and social skills, and give them more options while playing out-side. RELCG Vice Chairperson Sally Bryant said while numbers hadn’t been fi nalised, approximately $500 - $600 was raised on the night.

The equipment should be pur-chased and delivered in the next month.

Mrs Bryant said the event’s set up and attendees’ outfi ts were amazing.

“Everyone looked amazing; every-one had put in a great eff ort to get dressed up!

“I think it was a fantastic night. Roxby Leisure and the Dunes Café staff did an amazing job with the food and drinks, and the presentation of the c afé looked amazing,” Mrs Bryant said.

“Everyone commented that the meal was nice and the drinks and the platters after, everyone enjoyed those as well.

Once every two years the Roxby Red eARTh festival takes over Roxby Downs with ART ART ART and more ART.

Local resident Andrew Tolson-Macgowan joined Th e Monitor Newspaper for work experience

recently.

The Saint Peters College student joined the team to explore the fi eld of graphic design.

Led by journalist Millie Th omas, Andrew learnt about the process of putting the paper together using pro-grams such as Photoshop and Inde-sign.

Andrew was also given the reason-ability to explore his own topics for stories for Th e Monitor.

“Th e reason that I came here was for me to enhance my skills in creating art with computers and that is achievable thanks to this world we live in where we use a computer every day,” Andrew

said. Andrew experimented with some

new and old programs.”At school I use most of these pro-

grams but there are some that I have never seen before and I’m glad I have had a chance to used them and under-stand what they are used for.

“Not all the work that goes on in Th e Monitor is for a graphic artist.”

Andrew has taken a big step towards is dream of becoming a graphic de-signer and he has enjoyed his time working with the staff at Th e Monitor.

R egional South Australian credit union Alliance One will offi cially merge

with leading national fi nancial institution Community CPS Australia on July 1, 2013 after Alliance One members voted overwhelmingly in favour of the merger.

Members voted in favour of the merger at a special general meet-ing on June 17, agreeing to it on the strength of the wider branch access, product and services that the merged entity could provide.

Th e merged entity will have in excess of 200,000 members across SA, WA, regional NSW and the ACT, with assets under manage-ment of $4 billion.

Alliance One Chief Executive Officer Phil Lynch said he was extremely pleased with the result of the vote as it enabled the credit union to better compete in a chal-lenging fi nancial services sector.

“While we have branches in

Whyalla, Port Lincoln, Clare and Roxby Downs, our members will now gain access to the Communi-ty CPS branches in Port Augusta, Gawler and in metropolitan Ad-elaide, and across WA, ACT, the Hunter Valley and Wagga,” Mr Lynch said.

“We will also have greater ability to invest in developing wider fi -nancial solutions for our members and be able to position ourselves for our next stage of growth, all the while retaining our highly valued staff .”

Community CPS Chief Exec-utive Offi cer Robert Keogh said Alliance One members had rec-ognised their relationship with the credit union could be further enhanced if it were part of a larg-er communitybased and mem-ber-owned fi nancial institution.

“Th e merger brings together two credit unions with very similar val-ues - both are fi rmly focused on creating and returning value to

members and they fi rmly believe in supporting the communities in which their members and staff live and work,” Mr Keogh said.

“Through our foundation, we will be setting up a community support fund containing $200,000 to be used to support community and charitable groups in the north-ern gulf region.

“We believe our new entity shows a clear commitment to re-gional Australia and off ers region-al South Australians a distinctly diff erent banking option that is wholly members and values-based.

“Th e Community CPS Group has been growing steadily through prudent management of its busi-ness and through mergers, most recently in Wagga and the Hunter Valley. We are among the top four credit unions in the nation and we are fi rmly positioning our business for further growth.”

B ig multinational businesses were hit hard in the Federal Government Budget handed down last month as the government plans to clamp down on loopholes

to retrieve $4.2 billion over the next four years.

Key reforms included a crackdown on profi t shifting, ban-ning of dividend washing, reducing thin capitalisation safe-harbour, and new requirements for all big businesses to move from quarterly to monthly PAYG tax instalments.

Th ese changes could represent a big hit for the mining indus-try as there are concerns the changes will discourage foreign investment. Th ere was a direct hit for the mining industry as the budget removed depreciation concessions available to large resource companies that purchase junior miners, and then claim their exploration costs and mining rights for immediate depreciation. It is believed this measure will raise $1.1 billion over four years.

Th ere was, however, very few losses and quite a few wins for small businesses with initiatives including a $378.6 million ven-ture capital assistance program called the ‘Venture Australia’ package, which will provide additional fi nance for SME’s, to be disbursed over a period of 15 years. Th e Budget also provided $29.4 million of funding over fi ve years through the Enterprise Solutions Program to assist SMEs to more successfully bid for Government projects and tenders. Th e Small Business Advi-sory service is being maintained and the Enterprise Connect program will receive a $19.2 million expansion to encompass

the IT, transport, logistics and professional services sectors.An additional $7.2 million over three years has also been

included to assist SMEs to better harness the opportunities provided by the NBN.

Infrastructure is always welcome and provides a great boost in terms of work for the building industry. For South Australia the only infrastructure project to be scheduled in was $448 million for the South Road upgrade in Adelaide, as well as a further 12.9 million for NBN infrastructure nationally.

So what wasn’t in the budget?A key call of the small business is the toobigtoignore.org.au

campaign, asking the Federal Government to reduce business red tape to make it easier to employ people, and to improve the taxation impost – in terms of both regulatory compliance as well as payment schedules faced by SMEs. Th e Federal Budget didn’t address any of these issues, and the toobigtoignore.org.au campaign continues to press these issues in the lead up to the Federal Election.

Following an article in Th e Monitor Newspaper recently, culprits of a

vandalism attack on the Andamooka public toilets have handed themselves in to local Police.

Th e Monitor reported in its June 5 edition the Andamooka public toilets had been closed by local authorities at night for an undisclosed period of time following the vandalism.

Th e vandals had squirted a substance which appeared to

be tomato sauce all over the toilets, and spread toilet paper and tampons around the facili-ty. Brevt Sgt Kelly Chidgey had at the time called the incident ‘an act of mindless vandalism’.

Both Brevt Sgt Kelly Chidgey and Andamooka Town Man-agement Committee Adminis-trator Deb Allen were pleased the youths had handed them-selves in, and as punishment, instructed them to write letters of apology to the persons who had to clean up their mess.

D espite a recent enforcement of dog registrations and implementation of fi nes for

dogs wandering at large, stray dogs are still being spotted in Andamooka.

Th e impound fee for a stray dog starts at $30, plus the $10 charge each day the dog is kept safe. Own-ers have a better chance of retriev-ing their beloved pet if it is suitably registered.

According to Sergeant Brevet Kelly Chidgey, despite dog management by-laws being introduced to An-damooka, some residents are still having trouble keeping their dogs contained.

“Th ere was initially a grace period in place to allow dog owners to learn and start to comply with the proce-dures that have been put in place,” Brevt Sgt Chidgey explained. “Th is grace period has now ended and a number of fi nes have been issued for both wandering dogs and attacking dogs. Th ree fi nes alone have been issued in the last two weeks.”

Generally, those dogs spotted wan-dering at large around Andamooka seem to be the same ones, time and time again.

“Despite the dog and cat manage-ment procedures being put in place at Andamooka there are still a num-ber of dogs wandering the streets, these tend to be the same dogs and the owners need to take control of their dogs and put a stop to it,” Brevt Sgt Chidgey said.

Website www.gooddogssa.com outlines important and interesting facts associated with buying and keeping a dog. Some guidelines are as follows;

- Never buy a dog on a whim.- Always socialise your dog with other dogs and people.- Always supervise children with dogs.- Always teach your dog how to behave with visitors.- Always ask permission before you stroke a dog you do not know.- Always be consistent and constructive in your training and reward the desired behaviour.- Never let your dog demand attention by jumping, barking and pawing.- Always dedicate some time each day to training and exercising your dog. Brevt Sgt Chidgey reinforces these

guidelines for dog owners, stressing the importance of socialising, re-straining and registering dogs.

“It is very important to socialise your dogs, dogs need to be trained and without socialisation they can react aggressively when faced with new people or situations they are not comfortable with,” Brevt Sgt Chidgey said. “If your dog attacks a person or another animal even if it is in their own yard then the owner will be lia-ble and can face prosecution.”

Issues associated with letting a pet dog wander at large are wide and var-ied, and can include public defeca-tion, fi ghts with other animals and causing traffi c disturbances.

Pets are YOUR responsibility

Youths hand themselves in

Andamooka Mums and BubsAndamooka Mums and BubsRuby Turner reports:

This week Andamooka local Ruby Turner took to “the beat” as an Andamooka correspondent for

Th e Monitor. Below are her words.

I walked through the child care fi lled with playing children running around with their toys. I then walked in to a room fi lled with parents playing with their own toys and in their own way.

Th ursday is parents group at Anda-mooka Primary School (APS) and this particular Th ursday they looked over a collection of body shop products smell-ing them, rubbing them on their hand, laughing and having a great time.

Th ey sit around drinking tea and cof-fee and sharing stories and it doesn’t

take long for the conversation to turn back to their kids. Th ey share funny stories about their children as they learn and discover new things.

But it’s not all funny stories and beauty products.

On the other side of the room they are joined by Robyn, a children’s health nurse who has come up from Port Au-gusta.

She weighs and measures the babies and makes sure parenst have the infor-mation and care they need. In a con-versation with her she said she loved visiting Roxby and Andamooka and she had met many great people.

Donna Daniels, after getting baby Patrick measured and weighed told me that she has recently moved to Anda-

mooka and heard about parents group thorough a friend. During our con-versation she shares a moment with a new friend laughing that Patrick is only three months and around seven pound.

She said it was great to have a nurse come up so she doesn’t have to travel in to Roxby. She also loved that she can chose to have her child with her and shared that she has an older child play-ing next door in the child care.

Parent’s group meet every Th ursday at the Andamooka Primary school from 9.00am to 11.30am. A free crèche is provided but bookings are essential for care. Th e Child Health Nurse attends every second week. A free morning tea is provided (real Coff ee) and APS welcomes all parents.

S ticks and stones will no longer break bones at Andamooka School. Andamooka is rich in sticks and stones, and they are natural play things that the children

of Andamooka School love.

Th e playground is naturally fi lled with stones, dirt and bits of trees and plants. However it has recently become a problem with children using them unsafely and away from teacher’s supervision. So the school had to ban playing with them for a time. Th is was a disappointment to the children who these things could be heaps of fun and used safely so through the creative thinking of students, staff and parents they have come up with a plan.

Today Jay, Year 4, was out of class and in the yard helping local handyman Paul Uhlik to build a space where children could use sticks and stones to build castles and towers, or to go on amazing adventures. Paul laughed saying “Jay started off as my TA (trades assistant) but now he’s in charge”

Principal Angela Th ompson said, “We are making this into a creative area and have lengths of bamboo and rope and will introduce tools, wood and nails.

“We have an area to noodle for opal and a table and hammers to break up stones. Th e students are writing a list of rules to keep in mind when using the space to make it a safe place for all.”

S t Barbara’s Parish School has been chosen to participate in professional development

initiative ‘The IDEAS Project’, to help the school embrace educational change and remain sustainable into the future.

Th e IDEAS Project is a joint in-itiative of Th e Catholic Education Offi ce of South Australia and Th e Southern University of Queensland, as part of a small selective group chosen to work with Professor Joan Conway, an expert in school ped-agogy.

Th e project is part of a multitude of processes being implemented at St Barbara’s to help with the school’s development.

A focus group, made up of the school’s principal Tony Hayes, and teachers Kristina O’Toole and Kylie Johnson are facilitating the project.

Of the fi ve stages; initiating, dis-covering, envisioning, actioning and sustaining, St Barbs is currently working through envisioning and actioning. Th e process so far has in-volved extensive research into the successful practices and challenges of the school, and a preferred future.

“In particular, the team and staff of the school are constantly evaluat-ing the changing educational land-scape in the 21st century, to ensure

we adopt a culture of strong school wide pedagogy, and a school vision statement that accurately states our vision for the future,” explained Mrs Johnson.

Their work is based on their knowledge of the community, com-munity expectation, innovation for improvement and pedagogy, which must be aligned with the school’s catholic identity.

Th e school is also using Stephen Covey’s seven habits for successful schools as a guideline.

“We are in the process of negoti-ating a Professional Learning Day with the team from Covey, to take place around the Seven Habits,” ex-plained Mrs Johnson. “Th e training will be open to parents, staff and the community to learn more about the language and habits of the Seven Habits and of the students and how this connects with the important acquisition of life-long skills for the 21st Century.

“We hope to further improve upon the communication and rela-tionship of our students with their parents and the wider community within the context of a Catholic School.”

Communication is a key focus for St Barbara’s, which also hopes to establish a Parent Focus Group, to help facilitate and grow school and parent relationships, and relation-

ships with the wider community.“Th is group of parents will form

an important part of the school community in which they will be-come partners in shared school de-

cision making and also be actively involved in their child’s classroom as a both a support to the classroom teacher and other parents within the school community,” Mrs Johnson

said.“We are very much looking for-

ward to the opportunity to further improve upon parent-school rela-tionships”.

S t Barbara’s teachers Georgia Pavey and Heather Cargill recently attended an informative session in Port Augusta,

aimed at changing approaches to teaching children with dyslexia.

Th e session, held by SPELD (Specifi c Learn-ing Diffi culties Association) spoke with teach-ers and parents about practical teaching ap-plications.

“Dyslexia on the spectrum, there are dif-ferent forms of it,” Ms Pavey said. “So it can be no reading, no writing, but then some can learn to cope with it. Th ey are learning a lot more about it now, that really it’s a diff erent learning style.”

Computer access in school has also helped

address the issue in a more practical manner.“Luckily now we have access to computers in

schools, because now we can accommodate a lot of those things into the classroom, whereas before we just sort of had to write everything, which was a massive block for those kids,” Ms Pavey said.

“It was really enlightening. So things like spelling – children with dyslexia can’t spell to save themselves, so we’re not focussing on those things they can’t do, but fi nding other avenues to work on.”

According to Ms Pavey, teachers from Port Augusta also attended the seminar.

“Th ere was lots of stuff we can bring back and incorporate here,” Ms Pavey fi nished.

A s t h m a F i r s t Aid Tra in ing was delivered

to teachers from St Barbara’s Parish School and Roxby Downs Area School in a free course recently.

St Barbs Work Health and Safety Coordinator Shelly Wilson organised the course for teachers.

Mrs Wilson explained teachers were taught ba-sic emergency life sup-port for children with asthma and the ‘four steps’ to be taken should a student undergo an asthma attack.

Th e four steps involve giving a student four puff s of Ventolin, waiting four minutes and looking for improvement. Fol-lowing that the process can either be repeated, or the teacher will call an ambulance for further medical support.

Students at St Barbs that suff er from asthma are identifi ed to staff .

Teachers at St Bar-bara’s carry a ‘bumbag’ on them at all times, which include basic med-ical supplies in the case of an emergency.

Community volunteer Neisha Ferrao said she was shocked when fi rst told she had been

awarded Volunteer of the Month for May.

However, when looking at her rap sheet – its clear to see why she has been successful. According to Mrs Ferrao’s nominator, she is a proactive volunteer for local program Strengthening Our Families and is involved in preparing Toddler Story Time crafts for every Tuesday and Th ursday Session.

“She also assists at the sessions, help-ing parents with babies and allowing them to participate in the activities with their toddlers,” Mrs Ferrao’s nominator said.

“She is always present with a smile on her face, ready to welcome new mem-bers to the group, and ever willing to share experiences and vital information about the town.”

According to her nominator, Neisha also assisted with workshops during the World Food and Music Festival last year, is an active volunteer in the Multicultural group and is a dedicated volunteer at Roxby Downs Area School.

Mrs Ferrao said in volunteering she was simply carrying on a habit from previous communities she had lived in.

“I just migrated to Australia two years ago and when I was a student in India I was a member of some student groups, and I used to visit old age homes and I just continued doing that later on when my husband was working in diff erent parts of India,” she told Th e Monitor.

“Right now in Roxby, I’m not doing any work as such, not in paid employ-ment. My son is in school, so I thought I’d use my time by volunteering in the community.”

Cindy Harrichund, Coordinator, Strengthening Our Families and Wel-come Projects, at Roxby Downs Health Services, said, “Neisha is a dedicated volunteer to the Strengthening Our Families and Big Warm Welcome pro-grams. Her bright smile and ever will-ingness to assist the members of our community have made her a valuable asset to our team, and we would like to congratulate her on being Volunteer of the Month.”

Mrs Ferrao is donating her $100 voucher to the Special Education class at Roxby Downs Area School.

To nominate a volunteer of the month, download a nomination form from www.roxbydowns.com/commu-nity, fi ll it out and send it to Sasha at the Roxby Council at [email protected].

looked ominous in the open-ing quarter, completely dom-inating possession and con-trolling the tempo of the game.“However, West Adelaide seemed a completely diff erent outfi t after quarter time, increasing its pres-sure dramatically and levelling the scores at the main break.”“Th e experience was unbelievable,” Tom told Th e Monitor last week. “Although we only played in front of maybe 100 people - I couldn’t im-

agine what it would be like playing in front 100,000!

“I thought I played not too bad besides kicking two goals. I thought in the fi rst half I struggled to get used to the pace and intensity but worked my way into the game.”

West Adelaide will play th e win-ner of Claremont and Southport in the second semi-fi nal of the Foxtel Cup on Tuesday, July 16.

S even Roxby Downs locals made the trip to Finke this year, to compete in one of the toughest cross country motorbike races in

the world.

Th e 38th annual off road event challenges even the most experienced riders, with an ever-changing terrain and more than 400 competitors.

New South Welshman Todd Smith took out the ‘King of the Desert’ title this year.

Riders from Roxby Downs included Brian Brittain, Robert Sutton, Rob Trice, Zak Houseman, Brendan Dowd, Derek Alves and Philip Weber.

Brian Brittain was the most successful of the Roxby Downs entrants, placing 52nd, with a total time of 5:28:00, in his eight year attending the race.

“Th e competition was tougher this year and the track was the roughest I’ve seen it,” Mr Brittain told Th e Monitor.

“It had a lot of bull dust, making it very diffi cult to pass. Also, the high speed sections were badly rutted out, making for very few places to get a rest or sit down.”

Mr Brittain held consistent times over the two days, clocking in at 2:45:09 on day one, and 2:42:09 on day two in the veterans class (45 years and older). His best placing over the years was in 2006, when he won the veterans class, and placed 32nd outright in all competitors.

Previous Roxby Downs local and professional rider Chad Billett succumbed to injury at the beginning of the fi rst day, just making it to Finke with a time of 2:17:07. He did not compete in the second day of the race.

“I like to say a big thank you to all the Roxby pit crew that fuelled and fed the Roxby riders,” Mr Brit-tain fi nished.

Burn out comp entertains allBy Millie Thomas

A recent burn out competition held at the Roxby Downs Dirt Circuit Club was not only a success for organisers, but a great night out for the family,

according to organiser, Rory Hatch.

“Th e highlight was the amount of kids out there having a wow of a time!” Rory said. “Sarah from ‘A Sprinkle of Magic’ brought out the jumping castle and the kids were just having a bloody ball. Th ey just sort of made the event their own really!”

A lack of prize money also paved the way for higher cama-raderie between competitors.

“Everybody was just out to have fun, everyone was just changing parts, swapping parts to get everybody’s cars going,” Rory explained.

Over 200 spectators and 17 drivers with 13 cars attended the show on the June Long Weekend, braving the night’s cool conditions.

Rory said the feedback from nationwide competitors was a major highlight of the event.

““It was absolutely excellent. Guys that have travelled all over Australia commented that it was one of the best com-petitions they’d been to in years.”

While the Roxby Downs Burn Out Committee were slightly disappointed with the turnout of competitors, Rory explained there may have been a few deterring factors.

“Th e lack of prize money I think that deterred a few, a few people already had plans and a lot of guys are getting their cars ready for bigger competitions at the moment,” he said.

Th e aim of this year’s event was to raise money for a larger scale event next year, off ering $5000 prize money for fi rst place. Th e event raised $5,500, meaning the club will now only have to hold one more small fundraising event this year to help with funding.

“We’re all sort of just in relax mode for the moment, but we’ll probably do another little fundraiser, not quite to the same scale, but we’ll probably try and organise something later on this year to help fund the event next year,” Rory said.

Th e Roxby Downs Burn Out Club would like to thank all of their sponsors for their support, especially the Roxby Downs Dirt Circuit Club for their help.

THE LION KINGDuration: 1 hour 29 minutes Rating: PG

On a cold day in front of a medium crowd Olympic Dam and Andamooka went into battle in

good conditions for football, with a two to three goal breeze towards the scoreboard end.

Th e Devils kicked into the breeze fi rst up and did not take long to show their as-cendancy, going all out to atone for their lapse the previous week, when they suff ered their fi rst loss this season at the hands of the reigning premiers Hornridge.

Rian Hornhardt was at his magical best, ripping the Roos’ midfi eld apart, ably as-sisted Veale, Shaw, Green and Simmons. Andamooka had no answers and went in six goals down at the fi rst break.

OD started the second quarter as they fi nished the fi rst, fl at out and full of class, and looked determined to smash their op-position.

At the mid-point of the term Andamooka fi nally scored their fi rst goal. Th is proved to be the turning point for the game and the Roos showed they were a far more com-petitive outfi t. With Hand running on the ball, Paull, Mulders and Baker getting plenty around the ground, and big Rainsford the target up forward, they started to test the Devils.

Th e second half was pretty even on the

scoreboard, with the Devils scoring only a point more than the Roos, fi ve goals eight behinds to fi ve goals seven behinds. With-out the fi rst quarter and a half onslaught by Olympic Dam the result could have been very different, with the final margin 64 points and a triumph for the Dam Devils. Both coaches would have taken a bit away from the game, but the key point is that for either side is that to hold up the premiership cup at the end of the season, they need to play four quarters of football.

Miners win on Road TripBilled as a danger game for the Miners

against the much improved Saints, the con-test was close all day.

Th e Saints opened with the benefi t of going to the town end, which was slightly favored by a blustery wind blowing across the ground, and started with Mark Bell at full forward and Kelvin Henry, who kicked seven goals last week, as a fl oating forward.

Th e fi rst quarter was tight as neither side could gain ascendancy and get the ball mov-ing with any system. Roxby worked well in the conditions and were up by seven points at quarter time.

Th e Saints won the second quarter as Martin Grava and Ben Buller worked their way into the game, giving the Saints’ for-wards more opportunities, which they cap-italized on. Cody Kenny, Jarrod Greenbank,

and Craig Hall best served Roxby and were involved every contest in a very physical encounter.

Coober Pedy went in at half time with six point lead and the vocal support of the crowd to encourage them.

In the third quarter Roxby Districts con-ceded the fi rst goal but then worked tire-lessly to take the lead by a point at three quarter time.

As the third quarter went on the mid fi eld of Kenny, who was in and under every pack, Greenbank, who is a game breaking player, and Craig Hall, who continually presents and gets to every contest, started to get on top and bring other players into the game. Th ey received good service from Steve Kan-gars who rucked nearly all game unchanged.

Th e last quarter was largely played in Rox-by’s forward line as their superior fi tness showed, with more numbers to the contests and run into the forward line. Roxby kicked two goals four to one point from the Saints.

Ricky Prosser was possibly the most dangerous forward on the ground and fi n-ished with four goals for the Miners while Greenbank capped off a fine game with three goals. Saints Kelvin Henry got anoth-er three goals to go with his seven from last week, while Mark Bell fi nished with two despite close attention all day from Miner Stuey Johnson.

PREMIERSHIP TABLE

Olympic Dam win a game played in two halves

Coaches comments

ANDAMOOKA: Olympic Dan started strong and caught us napping. Roos turned the corner and came back in

the second half to put some respect into the scoreboard. Some outstanding efforts, but just not enough.

- Woody Turner

ROXBY DISTRICTS: A good effort from our players who persevered against a much improved Saints team.

This was a danger game and it was good to see our players retain their composure. Hopefully this is

something we can build on for the rest of the season.- Ricky Prosser

COOBER PEDY: The Coober Pedy Saints ran down their opponents, RDSC, for the entire fi rst half, yet couldn’t

manage a greater margin than a goal. Roxby returned fi re in the second half, rolling the ball out of defence to an increasingly potent forward line. Coober Pedy’s work on the ball and man lost some of its sting, and in the end a lack of fi tness meant the ball was dominated by Roxby.

- Robbie Scott

OLYMPIC DAM: Continuing to burn the footy inside 50 but pleased overall with the win.

- Dale Summerton
