The proposed Cultural Precinct Redevelopment will still go ahead, but with a modifi ed plan and at a lower

cost than originally envisaged, according to Roxby Council Administrator Bill Boehm.

Council’s fi nal Annual Business Plan and Budget is expected to be released this week, and will be followed closely by a Budget Snap-shot to be delivered direct to local letterboxes with the upcoming September rate notices.

Mr Boehm said the letterbox drop was just one step in council’s commitment to provide clearer communication to ratepayers.

Rate payers could expect a rise of 7.6 per cent this year, however this was considered normal and not a direct result of expenditure on the proposed redevelopment, which would partly be funded through a low interest loan.

Th e rate rise was also a little less than last

year’s eight percent hike, and lower than in previous years where the rates jumped as much as ten percent.

Mr Boehm said council had reviewed the plans for the Cultural Precinct redevelopment taking into account suggestions made in the recent Future Roxby workshops and conse-quent report.

Th e new plans would include increased par-ent room facilities, a scaled down frontage, and a refurbishment instead of an extension of the of the current gym facilities.

“Th e future Roxby consultations identifi ed some positives about the project, and they were quite clear about change,” Mr Boehm said.

“Essentially there are elements of the project we have shaped a little bit, and other parts of the project that were reinforced – and that’s really positive for the community.

“Most people were worried that the money

spent on this project would prejudice other projects, and it was made quite clear that it wouldn’t – and it doesn’t,” he said.

“We’re confi dent that we have made provi-sions to do the project in a modifi ed form to reduce costs. So, we can do this project, and we can do all the other projects that people have talked about.”

“We expect the costs to be much lower than we originally envisaged, and we will make ap-propriate budget allocations for the work.”

Mr Boehm said the fi nal costings of the pro-ject would remain unknown until tenders were received.

Th e Annual Business Plan and Budget are also expected to reveal further spending on playgrounds and the sport and recreation re-view, which were both ongoing.

Playgrounds are expected to receive im-provement in the budget – with defi nite plans

to build a toilet block at the Curdimurka Re-serve. Further improvements, including plans for a large redevelopment of the Lions Park, would be ongoing.

Mr Boehm said the recent consultation ses-sions identifi ed many things the council was already planning for, and other suggestions would be taken forward by various stakehold-ers and focus groups into the future

“Of all the things identifi ed, the vast majority were already budgeted for.” he said.

Mr Boehm said the Future Roxby consulta-tion have been “very valuable” and would give projects the impetus to move ahead.

“You will see that when we release our fi nal annual business plan and budget that we’ve taken all the comments received into account.”

“We are providing for today and we are pro-viding for the future.”

A year after former kindergarten director Kerryn

Jones won the SA Teacher Leader of The Year Award the Roxby Downs Kindergarten has been recognised again.

Th is time Tanya Parker has been nominated as a fi nalist for the School/Pre-school Support Staff Mem-ber of the Year at the 2014 SA Excellence in Public Education Awards..

“I was extremely sur-prised and overwhelmed when I found out,” Mrs Parker said.

“It was hard enough get-ting through Stage One.”

Mrs Parker took out the regional award in this category only a few weeks ago, and will now travel to Adelaide for a presentation dinner on September 29 at the National Wine Centre.

Mrs Parker has been at the kindergarten since 2008 having been in Roxby Downs for 23 years.

She took up the role after

her youngest child started at the kindergarten doing some relief work, and has been there ever since.

“I really love working here,” Mrs Parker said.

“I have always wanted to do this (work) but I never went to teacher’s college, and was never in the right place at the right time.”

Kindergarten director Adam Christie said this award would be a great way of recognising the hard work Mrs Parker puts in.

“All the people at the kindy are so happy and ex-cited,” Mr Christie said.

“She works so hard and I couldn’t ask for a better educator.

“Everyone is so proud of Tanya.”

Mrs Parker puts her nomination down to work-ing with a good local team – a team eagerly awaiting the outcome after and please to be nominated for awards two years in a row.

“It just highlights the team culture we’ve got here,” Mr Christie said.

“We all love working as a team.”

Sodexo Facilities Maintenance is turning pink and blue this September in order to raise awareness and funds for the fundraising

intiative Blue September. Blue September aims to raise awareness for mens

cancers such as testicular cancer and prostate cancer. With a large number of male trades workers under their employment Sodexo FM project manager Luke Lilburn thought it would be a great idea to get behind the cause.

“Blue September has been around for a number of years and it looks at raising awareness for men’s cancers,” Mr Lilburn said.

“Most of the team are males so what better platform to launch it from.

Th e Sodexo FM team will be very noticeable this month with every employee to be decked out in pink and blue high visibility tops.

“Th e guys will be wearing pink and blue shirts to raise awareness for Blue September,” Mr Lilburn said.

“It is something diff erent, so family and friends will come up to the guys and say “Why are you wearing those” and they’ll say we’re raising money for Blue September (therefore raising awareness).

“We service a lot of houses in town so if you see one of the guys in pink you can go up to them and donate.”

Mr Lilburn said that there is a great team spirit at Sodexo, and everyone wanted to be a part of this excellent initiative in some way, with a number of fundraising activities planned for September.

Mr Lilburn himself will be running the City to Bay in a Cookie Monster outfi t, refrigeration mechanic Luke Gersch will be cutting off his beloved dread-locks, HSEQ advisor Colin Nicholls will be dying his hair blue and apprentice electrician, Th omas Dwyer will be waxing his chest.

Mr Lilburn, as well as supervisors Andrew Bruhn and Michael Arthur will also be doing the worldwide phenomenon ice bucket challenge to raise funds for Blue September as well as the usual Amyotrophic Lat-eral Sclerosis (ALS)/Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Sodexo will also be selling Blue September wrist bands and running a raffl e with the total prize pool value for the raffl e items retailing at over $1,400.

Raffl e prizes have kindly been donated by Mitre 10 Roxby Downs, Reece Whyalla Plumbing, Auslec Roxby Downs, Outback Landscaping, Autopro Roxby Downs, Woolworths, Zealous Hair and Beauty, Th e Roxby Downs Tavern, Bianco Construction Supplies Roxby Downs and the Hurrell family.

Raffl e tickets can be purchased at Mitre 10, Auslec, at the Far North Football League Grand Final this weekend, the next market day or outback landscaping.

BHP Billiton praises Sodexo’s eff orts to support this great casue.

“Th ey think it is a great initiative and are fully sup-portive,” Mr Lilburn said.

Th ese activities will be taking place throughout Sep-tember to raise money for the charity but Mr Lilburn said it wasn’t all about the money.

“Th e more we raise as a company, the more aware-ness we raise,” he said.

“Even if someone goes and gets themselves checked out, we have done our bit.”

“It’s not just raising money, it’s also raising aware-ness.”

More information about the Blue September cause can be found at www.blueseptember.org.au.

Those caught at the Olympic Dam Airport with spare time between fl ight will now be able to relax with a book or magazine, thanks to a new

initiative by the local library. Last Th ursday the Roxby Downs Community Library

set up the Olympic Dam Airport Library, where pas-sengers can pick up books for a casual read, or to take them with no return required..

“Sometimes there are delays and it’s great because now they can fi nd something to read (while they wait),” Roxby Downs Community Librarian Kimberley Har-grave told Th e Monitor last week.

“Th e library team came up with the idea because a lot of people had noticed there wasn’t a lot of reading material at the airport, except for newspapers.”

Ms Hargrave said she and her library staff were very excited about this new project and were looking for-ward to providing people with good reading material while waiting to depart.

“Not many library services off er this kind of thing, it is very unique,” she said.

“We are excited to be able to provide reading material

to make passengers happy.”Th e library stand is set up by the departure gate in the

lounge area at the airport and is stocked with pre-used books and magazines or books donated by people in the community.

Books and magazines from the stand can be taken and don’t have to be returned, with the stock to be topped up by library staff each week.

“People can take the books and it would be good if they shared the books with other people at their desti-nation,” Ms Hargrave said.

“We encourage people to share the love of reading.”Ms Hargrave hoped the airport library would grow

over time, and also encourage jet setters to visit the main library service in Roxby Downs.

Th is project was developed by the library with the help of Roxby Council, BHP Billiton and the airport, and Ms Hargrave said it was a great partnership.

Acting Superintendent Site Facilities & Shutdown Logistics, Glen Crowhurst welcomed the partnership, stating “it’s an excellent initiative”.

“It not only provides a wonderful service to the many airport users, but also extends the reach of the local library to Olympic Dam,” Mr Crow hurst said.

Any feedback is welcomed Ms Hargrave said.

Olympic Dam Airport now has library

T raffic, car parking, play areas, events, street art and ways to boost local retail

opportunities will be just some of the subjects discussed as draft plans are released at ‘Revitalising Richardson Place’ consultation workshops next week.

Draft design proposals and concept plans for Richardson Place will form part of the workshops, designed to en-courage locals to have more of a say, following feedback received at the re-cent Future Roxby meetings

Two workshops, to be held next Th ursday, September 11 at 12pm and 6pm at the Dunes Cafe, would give locals the opportunity to view draft design proposals and concept plans, which were developed as part of a De-partment of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure Places and People grant received by Roxby Council last year.

Adelaide based strategic planning company Intermethod, who facilitated the recent Future Roxby workshops and subsequent report, helped coun-cil prepare their grant application last year, and will now oversee the consul-tation process.

Strategic Consultant / Director Na-talya Boujenko said the recent Future Roxby consultation had revealed that the revitalisation of the local economy in Roxby Downs was one of the prior-ities for the township.

“Among ideas of how this can be progressed, there was a strong com-munity recommendation to improve how Richardson Place operates and what it off ers,” Mrs Boujenko said.

“Major redevelopment of a street is a one in a generation opportunity. We have to get it right,” Ms Boujenko said.

“Richardson Place is the heart of Roxby Downs and all residents of the township use it. Community involve-ment in the draft plan will ensure that the new layout is the best (and) achieves the community and Coun-cil’s aspiration, and that it will have a positive contribution to the local economy and life of the town.”

She said some of the issues raised and summarised in the ‘Future Rox-by! Feedback from the Community Workshops’ report, were: very few attractions in the main street, poor retail and dining options, poor quality of frontages and connection with the street, congestion at school pick up and drop off times, car parking acces-sibility, weak crossing opportunities, poor availability of shade and a dis-connection between the two sides of the street.

Mrs Boujenko said during the recent Future Roxby consultation workshops, a renewed vision for Richardson Place was proposed, which included:

• Strengthening the street as the “place of choice” for the people of Roxby Downs to spend time in.

• Facilitate activities like outdoor dining, picnicking, promenading, play and shopping.

• Transform the street into an ac-tivated and vibrant environment that supports existing businesses and en-courages new ones to establish.

• Support a diverse calendar of events and reinforces the role of the street as the place for celebration.

• Make the street more welcoming to tourists and visitors.

“Some of the design ideas that were suggested by the community includ-ed providing more shade, incorpo-rating alfresco dining opportunities, providing better toilets, seating and picnicking facilities, creating unique leisure opportunities for families, im-proving visitor signage, incorporating (a) stage for events, providing water play opportunities and rationalising car parking,” she said.

“The current Richardson Place design development work has taken these ideas on board.

“Other complementary initiatives that the community recommended for the town centre were to review tour-ism opportunities, business and ad-vertising, accommodation availability, mine rostering, lease conditions for commercial properties, shopping op-portunities and fl exibility for traders to adapt to local needs and require-ments. Th ese ideas will progress with involvement of relevant stakeholders in due course.

“Th e draft concept design for Rich-ardson Place is a close response to community requests. It proposes contemporary solutions to some of the issues experienced in (the) main street.

Th e draft design work is being led by Jensen Planning and Design’s Peter Jensen, Michael McKeown and Lis-el Ashby, in partnership with Inter-method and Tonkin Consulting’s Paul Simons and Tim Ennis.

Th e draft plans will be available to view outside the cinema as part of the workshops and feedback forms would be available. Concept plans would be refi ned as the process moved forward.

Ms Boujenko said it would be up to the council to identify a budget, which could include applications for further grants, and to proceed with a more detailed design and implementation.

“Th ere will be another opportunity for community engagement at the de-tailed design stage,” Ms Boujenko said

She said a staged implementation may be a solution to any limit in budget availability.

Anthony Carberry, the man sentenced for the death of local man Dylon Fraser, was set to face a directional hearing on

Monday to determine the date for a re-trial.Mr Carberry lodged an appeal on July 18 of this

year and it was successful with both of his guilty verdicts being set aside.

According to reports from the Courts Author-ity, it was found the judge had made inadequate reference to the witness’s evidence, with the jury requiring more summarising.

Th e judges summing up was allegedly fl awed, in-creasing the chance of a miscarriage of justice and descriptions of the deceased were not permitted.

As a result both guilty verdicts were set aside and the matter is to be remitted to the District Court for a re-trial before a diff erently constituted court.

R aising more than $10,000 for the Roxby Community Postie Bash is a great achievement, but it is even better when it’s raised in a month and a half.

Th e Andamooka team ‘Team Tuckabox’ have taken out this year’s Postie Bash, raising the most money and collecting the most point from the activities on the day.

Pretty handy for a team that was formed over a few beers a month and a half before the event was due to be held.

“We are proud of ourselves to have achieved what we did,” team member Karen Taubers told Th e Monitor.

“We only had a couple of month’s notice, so by the time we decided to do it we just had to smash it out.

“It just goes to show that Andamooka is a good community and they really rally behind you.”

Th e money raised came from a number of diff erent sources including a water jug that sat on the bar at the Tuckabox, kind donations from the community, donations from sponsors – es-pecially from BOC who helped the team get embroided shirts for the event – and auctioning themselves off .

But their biggest money spinner was their raffl e which raised around $6000.

Th e team was hoping to compete again next year to defend their title but Ms Taubers said they have set the bar pretty high for themselves.

“We’ve now got to top that,” Ms Taubers said.“It’s a bit high, plus we topped the points as well.”Ms Taubers said the team thoroughly enjoyed the day despite

the ride being shortened due to bad weather. “We all had a ball, we entered into every activity on the day,”

she said.“We made sure we were a part of the day and made the most

of what we could.“We were glad we could attend and we had a lot of fun, plus

it was for a good cause.” BY PATRICK GLOVER

L iteracy and Numeracy plays a big part in every child’s school career, and last week’s Literacy

and Numeracy week saw one St Barbara’s class take those skills to the street.

St Barbara’s teacher Chrissie Grocke took her class and their learning to the streets last Friday as they showed off their literacy and numeracy skills.

“We are doing it all the time in class, trying to connect these things to the kids’ worlds.”

Th e students focused on all diff erent areas of maths as they used numbers, angles, measuring and estimating to complete diff erent tasks in the mall.

St Barbara’s principal Tony Hayes said it was great to see his students out and about.

“It is really positive and just show-cases what we do here at St Barbara’s,” Mr Hayes said. BY PATRICK GLOVER


The name Roxby Leisure will soon be a thing of the past with new name RoxbyLink taking its

place. Th e centre is currently re-branding

with the RoxbyLink name introduced to refl ect the recent link built between the cultural and leisure sections at the centre.

Th e name RoxbyLink, and the plans to introduce it, have been in the pipe-line for nearly two years since the planning of the new library in late 2013.

“It all started when the library was built and it created a link between the two buildings,” RoxbyLink Manager Tony Weir said.

“Th e two buildings used to be sep-arate but now the library has created a link between the cultural part and the leisure part.

Mr Weir said the full re-branding would not be complete for some time as the new name took eff ect across its various business sections.

Th e uniforms at the centre have al-ready been marked with the new logo, but things like external paperwork and advertising were examples of some of the things still in need of change.

“It is a monstrous job, but we will

get it all done, we are working our way through it,” he said.

“Most of what the public see is (now) RoxbyLink.”

While the library is council operat-ed, Mr Weir is hoping the library and RoxbyLink can work under the same processes, with Mr Weir hoping to perhaps extend the library’s opening hours to coincide with the rest of the centre.

RoxbyLink is currently training staff members to work in the library once a week or as required.

Mr Weir said the new RoxbyLink theme is “connecting our communi-ty” with a focus on fun, fi tness and functions.

The community helped raised $661 on race day from donations on the

Greyhound buses travelling to and from the race track with the local SES crew being the benefi ciary.

Greyhound Australia matched that fi gure dollar for dollar, increasing the amount donated to $1322.

Olympic Dam Greyhound bus depot Operations Man-

ager Milton Napper said do-nating the funds to the local SES was a “no-brainer”.

“But I never dreamed it would be this successful.”

SES Unit manager Mike Farrall was extremely grateful for the money received and said it would be put to “very good use”.

“Th e fact the community has chipped in that amount is excellent,” Mr Farrall said.

“And then the fact Grey-hound matched that fi gure as well is fantastic.”

Mr Farrall said the money

will be used to build a work-shop where the SES crew can do their own maintenance work on any of their equip-ment as well as some modi-fi cation to their truck.

Due to the success this year, Mr Napper and Grey-hound is already looking at doing the same fundraiser next year.

“I have already talked to the corporate offi ce and event manager and they are already working on it again for next year.”

An exhibition of paintings by Indigenous artists at Coober Pedy is set to open at RoxbyLINK Gallery in

Roxby Downs this Friday.

Co-curator of the exhibition Coby Edgar said the works would bring the desert land-scape to life in a variety of painting styles.

“…What’s really interesting is that you can see the diff erent ways that people view the land,” Mr Edgar told Th e Monitor last week.

Th e exhibition is the culmination of over two years of hard work by Indigenous artists in Coober Pedy.

“Th e people, the land and the stories of Coober Pedy are represented here,” Ms Ed-gar said,

“Sometimes in traditional styles, sometimes contemporary and sometimes abstract, but the overriding feeling that comes from these paintings is a sense of place.”

Th e paintings were all produced as part of a professional development program run by Ananguku Arts. Over 50 artists have been attending regular workshops in Coober Pedy since 2012.

Local artist Darlene Lennon ran a week-long workshop in July where most of the paintings were produced. She is being men-tored by Coby Edgar to learn how to curate and hang an exhibition.

Project Manager Tony Collins said some of Coober Pedy’s best Indigenous artists are represented in the exhibition.

“Aboriginal artists have been painting for the tourist market at Coober Pedy for dec-ades,” he said,

“But this project is seeing the emergence of new styles of work that are attracting the interest of the fi ne art market.

“George Cooley’s magnifi cent watercolours

of the desert country surrounding the town combine the harshness and the beauty of the place to create stunning representations in soft tones,” Mr Collins said.

“Equally impressive are the abstract works of Lilly Ulah who paints her country in the far west of the APY Lands. Painting with acrylics on canvas, Lilly brings a rich texture to her paintings that crossover from the traditional styles of the Western Desert art movement into new contemporary forms,” he said.

“Since she began painting with the Coober Pedy Art Project in 2010, Lily has exhibited her work in Coober Pedy, Alice Springs, Dar-win and Adelaide.

“Th e Williams family has been the hallmark of Aboriginal art in Coober Pedy for many years with three generations producing well crafted and fi nely detailed fi gurative works that depict the abundance of bush foods avail-able in the countryside, if you know where to look.”

Everything from bush tomatoes, bush plums and witchetty grubs to the famous honey ant are featured in their paintings.

Th e Coober Pedy Art Project has held sev-eral successful exhibitions and art sales in the town and at the nearby Prominent Hill mining camp.

“Th ere is a growing demand for this work and this exhibition is a great opportunity for people at Roxby Downs to see how artists are depicting the natural environment of an area not dissimilar to their own,” Mr Collins said.

“It’s an exciting mix of tradition and exper-imentation with new forms that is producing some excellent paintings.”

Th e exhibition will open this Friday with a launch at the local art gallery from 6pm.

Roxby Downs Health Services has recently released a survey to the community to receive feedback to continue to improve

their services. Th e survey, which is open until Friday, Septem-

ber 12, is aimed at both existing clients and the wider community.

“We currently run a range of diff erent com-munity health programs, which have been pop-

ular for many years, but we are always looking at ways to serve our community better,” Roxby Downs Health Service Executive Offi cer/Director of Nursing Janine Connell said.

“We want to hear from people about what works for them, what isn’t working and what suggestions they have for change.”

Mrs Connell said so far they had received 30 surveys but were hoping for more in the coming weeks.

The short 10 minute survey can be ac-cessed at http://tellus .sa .gov.au/index.php?sid=14646&lang=en.

What a great weekend in sport and there is still more to come with the local Far North Football Leage A- Grade Grand Finals next weekend.

Th e Monitor staff put in an enormous eff ort this week covering junior sport grand fi nals in junior football and netball, the senior netball grand fi nals and presentations, as well as pulling together a four page Grand Final Football Feature to promote the game this Saturday.

It’s what we do … and what a great job. Sport is such an integral part of any country commu-

nity and it’s one of the many things about growing up in a country town that I miss. Both my husband and I grew up in a mix of Port Augusta, Peterborough and Port Lin-coln and were mad young athletes – playing everything from tennis, basketball, netball, football, volleyball, touch football, softball, golf, and table tennis. You name it – we were in it. We both later coached and umpired or helped at the various clubs our children are now involved with in Adelaide.

We are community-minded, can-do types of people, and have to fi t it all around busy careers and work-life challenges – just like many of you.

So it has been frustrating to not be able to move my family to Rox-Vegas – my inland home – and to miss out on being even more involved in your amazing town. For those of you who don’t know, through my many years of involvement with Th e Monitor (eight out of the past 11 in fact) I have been based in Adelaide.

During the past three years I have done around 30 road trips to my little hiatus in the bush. It’s been busy. But it’s been fun.

It’s also been hard to be in two places at once – as I’m sure many parents understand – so this week I hang up the editor’s hat and hand over the reigns to someone new.

Th is is not a full goodbye - I’ll be ducking and weaving behind the scenes in a more Adelaide based role with Th e Monitor for now – so stay tuned.

Th anks to all of the people who have been involved with my little Roxby Downs adventure. I look forward to seeing where the next chapter will take us.

Raine & Horne wish everyone associated with the Grand Final

2014 all the very best!


W ith a good four quarter effort on the weekend

against Olympic Dam, Hornridge coach Shane Mitchell believes his side is hitting form at the right time.

Despite some inaccu-

rate kicking the Magpies still put together a four quarter eff ort to defeat the Devils by 84 points.

“It was a good four quarter eff ort, probably our only one for the year,” Mitchell said.

“If we had of kicked straight we could have won by even more – we kicked 17 goals 18 so we had 35 scoring shots.

“But I think the guys are running into some form.”

Mitchell said it is a “big weekend for the club” this weekend and the club has done well to make it through.

The Magpies have struggled some weeks to get a full side togeth-er due shift working and people’ s rosters.

“It’s been hard getting a full side,” Mitchell said.

“People have night shift or people that have days off leave town so it’s been hard.”

Some of their stand out players have only played a handful of games like Joel Harman who came run up in the leading goal kicking award but only played five games and Ashley Baxter who also only played fi ve games.

18-year-old Lachy Forward has also been a stand out for Hornridge this year with Mitchell comparing his game to that of a 24/25 year old.

Mitchell believes they can knock off the Min-ers this weekend in the Grand Final with fi nals being completely diff er-ent to the minor round.

“You don’t win prem-ierships in June, July, August, you win them in September,” he said.

“Roxby have been the stand out this year but you never know what might happen in a Grand Final.”

The Roxby Districts Sporting Club thanks their loyal

sponsors for their continued support this season.



S ixteen players who played in last year’s Roxby Districts Grand Final winning side will take the fi eld again

this weekend, giving the Miners one of the most consistent lists in the league.

Miners’ coach Ricky Prosser said this con-sistency was one of the reasons his team has made it through to another Grand Final and has only dropped one game for the season.

“To have three quarters of the team the same as last years is defi nitely a big factor,” Prosser said.

“We are lucky. Even the few guys we have had come into the side this year have gelled in well.”

Th e Miners side consists of three 100 game players, nine 50 game players and around fi ve to six that have been with the club since they won their drought breaking fl ag in 2010.

After injuries threatened to sabotage their season mid-way through the year, Prosser believes the club is peaking at the right time with some of their big name players returning in time for the fi nals.

“We started a bit better than I thought we would,” he said.

“Th en in the middle patch of the year, not trying to make excuses, we had eight to nine of our best players injured, so that challenged our depth.

“Th at was when we slipped to OD, we had a few out and they put together a pretty good side that day.

“But we have come back again.”With these injuries throughout the year a

number of other players have had the oppor-tunity to step up and Prosser said there were a few that had done just that.

Luke Ryan, who has played all of his foot-ball in Roxby Downs coming up through the junior, is one of those players according to Prosser, having played three or four games for the Miners last year before missing out on selection for last year’s Grand Final.

New recruit Haris Vrbovac has been the fi nd of the season having converted him over to the sport from soccer, Prosser said.

Th ese players along with the likes of cap-tain Craig Hall and Blackwoods medallist Justin Watson has made for a good team balance.

Prosser said the team picked up its train-ing load three quarters of the way through the season adding some extra running to the sessions with the results evident in their football.

Th e team has continued this training re-gime right through into the fi nals with the team using the week off to train as normal as well as throwing in an extra training session in over the weekend.

Th e Miners take a four win to nil record against fellow Grand Finalist Hornridge into the decider which Prosser said will give his side confi dence.

“You have to be a bit careful with confi -dence, you never want to go into a game with too much confi dence,” he said.

“I have told the players to take some confi -dence into the game because it can make you play better football.

“But they (Hornridge) will defi nitely be a challenge.

“Hopefully we can do what we did last time (in the fi rst fi nal) stay with them until half time and then use our fi tness to over run them in the second half.”

Prosser said there may be one change to the team that defeated Hornridge in the Qualifying Semi-Final.

Consistency and fi tness keys to Roxby’s success

FOOTBALL CLUB

2014 has been a big season of footy for the Far North Football league.

On the field the reigning premiers Roxby have continued their dominance and are undis-puted favourites for the fl ag.

Hornridge have been growing stronger each week and I feel that their best is yet to come, and I see them as the dark horse for the premiership.

Olympic Dam have had their ups and downs with injuries but the team has a big heart and you should never write them off .

Coober Pedy has had a great

season with fi ve wins and were very competitive going down val-iantly to Olympic Dam in a cliff hanger fi rst semi fi nal. And Anda-mooka, whilst having a tough year, played each game with courage and determination and the score-board didn’t really refl ect accu-rately what happened on the fi eld.

We played our fi rst Miners’ Cup at the Adelaide Oval this year and were victorious over Broken Hill. Skilfully coached by Mark Telfer and his staff , the players were all outstanding and brought pride and honour to themselves and the league.

Off the field it was a year of change with a number of new things happening such as:

- Th e junior rule, which allows a 5th player on the bench as long as it’s a junior to give the youngsters a taste of senior footy.

- Th e mercy rule, which short-ens a quarter and is designed to prevent the kinds of blowouts in games that are caused by travel and shiftwork.

- Six games for the fi rst time in Coober Pedy to better promote the game in the Far North.

- New coaches’ boxes at the oval which were gratefully received and

- Th e successful trialling of a family fun day at the footy to en-hance the family atmosphere.

The league was also one of a number of groups which liaised with the SANFL regarding pro-

posed rezoning changes, and we were delighted to be retained in the West Adelaide Football club’s zone. Th e West Adelaide Football Club has been extremely support-ive of the league and the junior competition over the years, and the league looks forward to that ongoing support.

I am looking forward to the Grand Final this year, as regard-less of who is playing I know that the teams will lift for the occasion. Th ere will also be a fundraising drive at the Grand Final for the Zeptner family (Team Zep). Th e Zeptner family, who are sadly go-ing through a very diffi cult time, have been in Roxby Downs for over 25 years and are an integral part of the community and much loved members of the football family. I encourage everyone to attend the Grand Final and to dig deep for this most worthy cause.

Finally, I would like to thank all the volunteers for the clubs and for the league, from the presidents to the water boys and water girls.

Th ey are the unsung heroes of our community, as volunteering takes up a lot of hours and is a thankless task. Without them, we wouldn’t have a game of footy. Th anks again.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Grand Final and I would like wish both grand fi nal-ists the very best of luck!

RoxFM Station Manager Ross Wilson will bring the game to life this weekend when he calls his fi rst local

Grand Final.

Th e station has been creating a buzz across local airwaves by broadcasting live from the oval during this year’s fi nal season. Mr Wil-son kicked off the initiative with live broad-casts of the recent elimination and semi-fi nal rounds .

Mr Wilson has called more than 1000 AFL games throughout an extensive broadcasting career, and said he was looking forward to this weekend’s game.

“Local sport is the centre of any country town,” Mr Wilson told Th e Monitor last week.

“Th e nucleus of any town is the football club. Th at’s where the focus is. Th at’s where

the interest is. Th at’s where most people go socializing as well,” he said.

“Football, traditionally is what brings peo-ple together.”

Mr Wilson will again call the match from the elevated position in the front cabin of a truck, and is expected to be joined by local football personalities throughout the special broadcast.

He said he looked forward to developing more opportunities to broadcast more sport-ing events in the future.

To listen to this weekend’s Far North Foot-ball League’s Grand Final tune into 105.5FM, or listen online at www.roxfm.com.au through the ‘Listen Live’ streaming capability.

Th e broadcast can also be listened to on mobile devices by downloading the ‘Tune In’ radio app. Just click onto the radio tab and fi nd RoxFM on the list of stations available.

NEWS IN BRIEFNEWS IN BRIEF

Mobile Muster is a program which collects old mobile phones and their accessories for recycling.

Mobile phones are particularly important to recycle as they contain many potential harmful metals including lead and cadmium that if placed in landfi ll could leach into the environment.

Th is Australia wide program has now com-mitted to increase its mobile phone recycling targets by an additional 130 tonnes over the next fi ve years.

Th is program has been implemented in Rox-by Downs by Environment Forum in conjunc-tion with the Roxby Council.

Residents can drop off their mobile phones and accessories including rechargers, batteries, headsets and phone covers to the collection box in the Council foyer at the Richardson Place Offi ce.

All phones and accessories will then be sent to Mobile Muster for recycling into a range of new goods such as batteries, plastic fence posts and stainless steel equipment.

Rotary has been doing an amazing job raising funds to help Roxby Council to improve the Curdimurka

playground. Fundraising eff orts include a personalised

paver program with pavers being laid on the path within the play space.

What a wonderful way to leave your mark on Roxby and help to improve the play-ground at the same time.

Your family or business can remain a part of our history. Th e engraved pavers are a

great idea to use as memorials, to celebrate births and marriages or for businesses to show their commitment to the community.

Pavers can accommodate text and a clear jpg of your logo or drawing.

Th ere are pavers for families, individuals, groups and businesses and the cost depends on the size chosen.

For more information or to purchase pav-ers, contact Leigh Malcolm at the Rotary Club of Roxby, on 8671 0662 (work) 0416 147 652 (mobile).

Support the well-used Curdumurka Playground by

purchasing a paver for your family, business or yourself.

Become a part of Roxby’s history by buying pavers.

All funds raised will be put back into the Curdimurka

Reserve and contribute to the Council’s upgrade of the site.

The Rotary Club of Roxby District is working

towards the purchase and installation of a new

fence for the playground.

The Business Forum has its showcase event for 2014 coming up this month.

Th e Roxby Downs Business Awards will be a night not to be missed.

It will be an evening of cele-brations for the local businesses in Roxby Downs and Olympic Dam, and the chance to congrat-ulate and award all the business-es hard work and commitment to our community.

Without local businesses this

town would not exist. Th ey are vital to the local economy.

Roxby has some great busi-nesses and it is so important to recognise this especially at a time where the local econo-my is in a turbulent state. Th e event has been a success due to the Major Sponsor for the 2014 Business Awards - BHP Billiton.

The awards will be held on Friday, September 19 in the Cultural Precinct Auditorium and the Keynote Speaker will be BHP Billiton Asset President. Mr Darryl Cuzzubbo.

Th e Business Forum is very excited to have Mr Cuzzubbo present at the event. Th e fi ne menu and wines selected from Mitolo and Coriole Premium

wines will ensure that you en-joy the night as well as fantastic entertainment by local band, ‘Who’s on First’ and there will also be raffl es held on the night with great prizes.

In 2013 the Business Awards were a sell-out event, and this year ticket numbers have been increased to allow for more guests.

The nominations across all categories have been very strong and the community has been very involved in making their favourite businesses known.

The number of People’s Choice votes for Roxby’s Most Popular Business has been in the hundreds and it has been impressive to see the commu-

nity get involved and make their vote count.

Th e new MEGT Trainee/Ap-prentice of the Year Award has been very well received with many fantastic entrants, we look forward to celebrating our local trainees and apprentices in our community on the evening.

Find your favourite frock, grab your dancing shoes and be sure to get your tickets to the 2014 Roxby Downs Gala Dinner as they will sell fast, you can also purchase a table of 10 for your workplace and friends.

Tickets are now on sale @ $90 each and available from the Vis-itor Information Centre or pay via credit card by calling 8671 2001.

Locals Enjoy a space themed nightMore than 70 Roxby Downs’ residents of all ages

participated in the Roxby Community Board’s fi rst ever National Science Week event last

Saturday night.

National Science Week is a celebration of science and technology and aims to engage everyone in the commu-nity, regardless of age or profession.

Th e night began with a talk by guest speaker Dr Alice Gorman (aka Dr Space Junk) from Flinders University who provided a fascinating archaeological tour of the solar system focusing the human interaction with the universe though various satellites and space ships. Th e possibility of intelligent life on other planets was discussed with a se-ries of questions from some of Roxby’s younger residents.

Th e evening was completed with a session of Astronomy on the golf green lead by four Roxby Down’s volunteers who kindly shared their telescopes and knowledge for everyone to see. Highlights included seeing the rings of Saturn and the redness of Mars.

Th e Community Board would like to thank everyone who made this event possible including Dr Alice Gorman, those who shared their telescopes on the evening, the Roxby Downs Golf Club for donating the venue, the Youth Advisory Committefor providing refreshments and the South Australian Government supporting this National Science Week Event.

Local residents gathered at the golf club for the recent Science

Week event.

Motocross Night Meetcoming soon

The Roxby Desert Motocross Club is revving up for the Motocross Night meet in just a few short weeks.

President Clint Gow-Smith said the event, in its seventh year, is expected to be a huge drawcard for SA’s best riders. “We have gone back to the original time of year when this event started, mid-September to maximise the nice days and also the longer underlights racing before day light saving,” Mr Gow-Smith said.

“Given the last two years we have had over 100 riders, and with the prize pool back up to $10,000 we have had confirmation from SA’s best riders - that they are coming to get the hands on the cash, so it should be an unreal day/night of racing.

“We are expecting a crowd of around 2000 as many locals support the event plus all the people from around the state that come and bring family and friends.

“If anyone hasn’t been before or is not sure, I can tell you this year is the one to come out to, as Luke Arbon is returning to Roxby fresh off his national racing season where he currently is placed second (at time of print) and has had round wins throughout the year .

“This guy is currently the fastest guy in the country on a 250cc machine and is worth the effort to come out and watch him. Luke will be racing two bikes across two classes and speaking to him recently he is pretty pumped to come back to Roxby and put on a show for the locals.

Guru Shane Metcalfe will also return for this year’s event.“Shane will be here for the week doing some coaching

earlier in the week and then assisting with track prep and just hanging out before racing in the expert open class against the state’s best on the Saturday,” Gow-Smith said.

“This year we have opted to change things up a bit and the local dance academy will entertain the crowd at the interval as we go from day into night and allow the light towers to take effect. These dance kids have won awards at various comps around SA and Lana and her team of helpers have these kids doing some pretty cool routines.

“Something else close to everyone hearts in this community was Scotty McKay, and we are honoured and so proud to be presenting a plaque which will stay in the club to the winner of the “Scotty McKay Memorial Dash for Cash” Feature Race, which will be the pinnacle of the night when the fastest guys on both 250cc and 450cc will race two back to back feature races for a prize pool of nearly $3000

“This will be the best racing this state sees this year. It’s rare to have both classes race together anywhere in the state and country, so get behind it Roxby!

“This time of year, I as president, call on so many to help, and there are over 70 people that will actively be involved on the night to make it run smooth so thank you in advance to all those people.

“Sponsors, you guys are just amazing, and to you (outgoing Editor) Gail, The Monitor Board and the staff, our club would not be where it is today without the loyal, genuine support and sponsorship you guys have given us over the past five years.

“It has allowed us to gain critical exposure through ads, posters, editorials and columns just like this one to gain awareness, drive membership and community awareness, so thank you!

Individuals will be able to play lawn bowls this season as the new Barefoot Bowls competition gets underway

locally

“Secretary Tony Weir said new players would be welcome this year as they will not need to fi t into a team as in years gone by, but can play as an individuals this season.

“We are planning a diff erent competition this year calling it Barefoot Bowls,” Mr Weir said.

“Th e change in competition has come about because of dwindling numbers for numerous reasons, mostly revolving around

shift work and teams not being able to get their teams together every week.

“Our plan is to get everyone on the green that turns up on the night with the oppor-tunity to win a bit of money at the end of the game.

“For this reason we are starting the season a lot earlier this year allowing us to trial the new game and understand whether it will work for us going forward.

“So while it may be more an individual event you still get to play with your friends but also against them to make for a more competitive competition but only based weekly rather than over a whole season.

Mr Weir said this would allow people to turn up and play whether their team was there or not, meaning they could still be involved and have fun having fun.

Th e new season will start on Wednesday, September 10 at 7.30pm, but will then re-turn to the regular Friday nights until De-cember 5.

thereafter on our regular Friday nights up until December 5. Th e club will then take a break and return on January 9.

“Having this new game will also allow us to run further into the year enjoying our great weather as no competition points are involved.”


The Roxby Downs Car Club will hold the 2014 State Titles on the October Long Weekend, with more than 60

drivers expected from the seven SA towns to take part in the event.

Twenty drivers from Roxby Downs will also compete at the meet which will be broken down into fi ve categories with four rounds of racing consisting of eleven heats.

Current Club Champion Wayne Dempsey said clubs only got to hold the State Titles once every four years, so a lot of time and eff ort went into making the meet as success-ful as possible.

“It is a huge thing to have, the big annual championships, it is always a huge show,” Demsey said.

“It is very competitive to see who puts on the best shows.

“It is a bit of a competition…between the clubs.”

Th ere are a number of trophies up for grabs with an award for the round winners,

fastest times on track, the overall Champion Trophy, an All Comers trophy, presented to the winner of an All Comers Race consisting of all the cars from the day – and the Dunns Brothers Trophy – which is presented to the club whose Top 10 drivers have the most points.

But it is not all about the competition, according to track manager Geoff Munro.

“You catch up with a lot of people at these events,” Munro said.

“Lots of people expect you to be there, and if you’re not there they will be looking for you.”

Mr Dempsey said these events did not happen without the support and eff orts of people and organisations within the com-munity.

“Some clubs do it tough. We’re lucky to have the support of the local contractors while some others don’t,” he said.

“Th ey are really supportive. We don’t get knocked back too often.

“A big thank you has to go to the local contractors who make all their resources available.”

He explained the support the club re-ceived wasn’t just through monetary dona-tions, but often access to particular equip-ment from these contractors.

Local businesses, the CFS and SA Am-bulance crews were also thanks for their ongoing support.

“All the businesses help out. We can’t (make it) work without them,” Munro said.

Th e club’s volunteers played one of the most signifi cant roles in getting things ready and the track up to standard for a State Title meet.

“It is all volunteers too, so it’s not just businesses, it’s the community,” Munro said.

“A few people do a fair bit of work, but every person puts in what they can.”

Th e State Titles consist of two meets in separate regional town.

Th e fi rst round was held in Ceduna earlier this year.

The October long weekend event will consist with practice and scrutineering on Saturday, October 04 and races will be held on Sunday, October 5 from 9am until 4pm.

W ith conditions near perfect, Hornridge and Olympic Dam took the field to decide who

would be playing next week’s FNFL Grand Final.

Th e Devils were without key big man and Mail Medalist Tim Walsh and Jack Bark-er but included Jonn Veale to boost their midfi eld. Th e Magpies were without Trent Grosser and Lachy Munro who have been pivotal players this season.

Hornridge won the toss and kicked to the camp end with a gusting breeze favouring that end.

Th e Devils came to play and took the ball into their attacking zone pushing hard to nullify the advantage off ered to the Magpies with fi rst use of a 3 to 4 goal breeze.

Hornridge’s defense worked together to withstand numerous attacks and Harman showed why he is one of the premier for-wards in the league by kicking the Magpies fi rst three goals.

After the fi rst break Olympic Dam had the use of the wind in the second quarter but were outscored four goals to three.

Magpie’s full forward, Harman was ben-

efi tting from the hard working midfi eld of Gersch, Grimston and Tutthill while Luke Webb was getting a lot of the ball as a fl oat-ing half forward.

Olympic Dam’s midfi elders worked hard to push forward but without Mail Medal-ist Tim Walsh their forward line lacked the ability to out mark the desperate Hornridge defenders, and Olympic Dam’s crumbers were not given many opportunities, leav-ing them struggling to score despite their best eff orts. At half time Joel Harman had seven of Hornridge’s eight goals in a match winning performance and had they kicked straight the game could have been locked away.

Hornridge broke the game open in the third quarter kicking six goals to none from the Devils.

Th e Hornridge midfi eld continued to push the ball forward and their key forwards fi nished off for them. Th e Devils worked hard but let themselves down by kicking the ball out of bounds on a number of occasions when trying to work into the wing.

Th e last quarter was low key with OD kicking two goals to fi nish with six for the

day and Hornridge kicking four more into the wind. Olympic Dam’s midfi elders, Mi-chael Shaw and Cam Green worked hard all day, and Tyson Hornhardt has played some of his best footy in the last round.

Next week’s Grand Final sees Roxby Dis-tricts and Hornridge clash in what should be a great contest.

Hornridge are playing their best football at the right time and would be hoping to regain Trent Grosser who is a renowned big game player.

It will be interesting to see who Miners’ Coach Prosser will give the job of containing Grosser and Harman to, while still covering Baxter, who kept the goal square free for Harman in the preliminary fi nal.

Magpie Coach Mitchell will have some tough decisions to make this week too, with some solid performances from his charges on the weekend.

Whether you join the Sea of Red and White, or the Magpie Army, head down to the Roxby Downs oval to see your local teams battle it out for the premiership fl ag in what should be perfect conditions for a Grand Final.

A fter a long season Friday night saw the 2014 grand fi nals. Th e strong crowd

built on the excitement of the evening but the large score lines left the fi nal whistles a little fl at.

Th e C grade fi nal saw two lo-cal umpires, Darya White and Teela Komene, take control of the interclub clash between Hornridge Green and Horn-ridge Pink.

The rivalry saw season top dogs Hornridge Green concede defeat to the fast fi nishing Horn-ridge Pink, 42-28. Both teams came out strong in the first quarter scoring an even nine goals each.

Laurel McGauchie (Horn-ridge Pink) worked hard as goal shooter against Hornridge Green’s goal keeper Mel Haynes. By half time Hornridge Pink had taken the lead by fi ve goals, 19-14.

Emma Baker (Hornridge Green) took back control of the ball in the mid court with a spectacular catch after Horn-ridge Pink created a turnover in Hornridge Green’s goal third.

Hornridge Pink managed to maintain their fi ve goal lead in the third quarter, 28-23. Kait-lin James (Hornridge Pink) and Amanda Nelson (Hornridge Green) did not disappoint spec-

tators, providing a superb com-petition for the ball in centre.

In the fi nal quarter Hornridge Pink found their groove taking the game by 14 goals. Dee Ma-son and Renee Johnson worked hard in Hornridge Pink’s de-fence putting a halt to Renee Anderson and Rhij Paulaskas’ (Hornridge Green) bid for the ball.

After a strong team perfor-mance Dee Mason for Horn-ridge Pink took out best on court.

Hornridge B grade fi nished their spectacular season defeat-ing Olympic Dam by 11 goals, 49-38. Hornridge took the lead by fi ve goals in the fi rst quarter and were not going to budge an inch, 12-7. Emy Nicholson and Sam Summerton (OD) once again synced in the goal circle. By the end of the second quarter Hornridge were in the lead by four goals, 21-17.

Rebecca Webster (Hornridge) played a strong and consistent game in wing defence. Th e third quarter saw Hornridge increase their lead to seven goals, 33-26. Bonnie Moroney and Demmy Orr (Hornridge) worked hard throughout the game as they ro-tated between centre and wing attack. The final whistle saw Hornridge take the game by 11 goals, 49-38.

Megan Crawford (OD) worked hard in defence creat-ing turnovers and making taps. After a superb game Bonnie Moroney took out best on court.

Th e long awaited A grade re-match left supporters a little dis-heartened after Miners ran away with the game in the fi nal half.

In the battle of the titans Joice Takaidza (Miners) and Nicole Gregory (OD) in the Miners’ goals and Jess Reid (OD) and Michelle Gifford (Miners) in OD’s, the Miners’ book ends were the eventual victors. Min-ers took the lead by two goals in the fi rst quarter, 10-8.

At the quarter break nei-ther team made any positional changes. A hard working Sharn O’Leary (OD) was unable to put a damper on a breaking Kelsey Weckert (Miners).

Both Weckert and Britt Nor-sorthy (Miners) created plenty of room while moving the ball down the court by staying to the outer edges. Miners increased their lead to nine goals by half time. Returning to the court OD made some positional changes as Nick Backhouse (OD’s coach) attempted to break Miners’ hold on the game, unfortunately Miners’ had found their stride.

Meaghan Kiely (Miners) worked hard to create leads and scor-ing opportunities in goal attack against OD’s Erin Cupper. Min-ers maintained their nine goal lead in the third quarter, 38-29.

Going into the final break Miners’ appeared to have com-mand of the game. Tony Weir (Miners’ coach) breaking his normal routine made some positional changes in the fi nal quarter, bringing in Elyse Weir in wing defence. Danielle Weir (Miners) and Lucy Prior (OD) battled for the ball in the centre court each trying to create a lead for their team.

OD were unable to break Miners’ stride as they ran away with the game in the fi nal quar-ter by 17 goals, 54-37. Britt Nor-sworthy fi nished off a consistent year by winning best on court in the grand fi nal.

With the 2014 season com-plete players, coaches and um-pires will take a short break before gearing up for the 2015 season.
