Two in a row for Hourglass

By Gail Heritage

O lympic Dam recently achieved one million tonnes in one month and the best

quarterly production record ever.

Th e announcement came from BHP Billiton Olympic Dam Asset Pres-ident Darryl Cuzzubbo as he ad-dressed more than 100 people at Sat-urday night’s business awards.Mr Cuzzubbo reassured the local business community the company continues to make progress and urged locals to work together to improve the site’s “collective competitiveness”

to ensure its long term future. “I know the last 12 months haven’t been easy – for the business here, or for us,” Mr Cuzzubbo said.“I know that some of you were a little disappointed with some of the things that have happened, but I do want to assure you that everything we do is about securing the long term future of Olympic Dam and with that, the long term future of Roxby along with businesses.“We still have a long way to go, but if you look at the changes that we have made, barring any collapse in the commodity prices, we believe that

the hard decisions are well behind us,” he said.Mr Cuzzubbo said the company con-tinued to look at a diff erent approach to the proposed expansion plan, in-cluding developing new technologies to make mineral extraction more vi-able. He said the work the local team was doing now would ensure the mine’s long term viability and security into the future.“We were originally looking at the ex-panded and very diff erent set of mar-ket conditions, which was a very large upfront investment.

“What we will be putting forward is a phased investment,” he said.“Th at doesn’t just lower commercial risk and technical risk … it complete-ly changes the economics by bringing in revenue for pushing costs out,” Mr Cuzzubbo said.He said the recent record production fi gures proved BHP Billiton was mov-ing forward with its commitments to improve the mine’s viability and is provng its worth. “We are not waiting for the expan-sion plans to fi rm up – we are already moving ahead to lift Olympic Dam’s capacity to ten million tonnes, eleven,

maybe even more.

“Th at still requires signifi cant invest-

ment over the next 18 to 24 months,

so we really have got the pressure on

us to improve our current viability.”

He asked the local business sector to

continue to persevere and work with

the mining giant to ensure Olympic

Dam’s “collective competitiveness”

into the future.

“It makes sense that we do that be-

cause this expanded OD will be here

at the end of the century.”

Th e R o x b y D o w n s Env ironment For um, with the support of Arid

Recovery and BHP Billiton has set up a ‘wildlife awareness ini-tiative’ to answer local demand.

Mounting public confusion last summer prompted the Environ-ment Forum to answer a call to provide service in assisting injured native wildlife, and provide assis-tance in relocating snakes from populated areas.

“Native wildlife, including snakes, are a part of living in Aus-tralia, especially in the outback,” explained Environment Forum member and Arid Recovery em-ployee, Anni Walsh.

“Th e Environment Forum real-ised there was a bit of a need for community wildlife carers and people to do callouts.”

In the past, in particular, call outs for local assistance with snakes had been directed to the Arid Recovery offi ce, but unavaila-bility of staff due to their nature of work, and a need to get commu-nity involvement stirred the most recent initiative.

Volunteers for the initiative will be trained in snake and wild-life handling, and will work on a rotating roster, with the plan that once a substantial volunteer base is founded, a mobile hotline will

be manned 24 hours a day.“Hopefully it’s a little more relia-

ble, and it means it can operate on weekends as well, whereas if they contact Arid Recovery there’s no one here on weekends,” Anni said.

“It’s also another way to get members of the community in-volved in wildlife caring, so the onus isn’t just on Arid Recovery.”

Th e idea of the initiative is to engage volunteers from con-tracting companies in town and Olympic Dam and community members, as well as Arid Recovery and BHP Billiton Environmental Department employees and Envi-ronment Forum members.

“Just so we’ve got a bit of a network so if there is a snake in someone’s backyard, and someone is a few streets away, they can pop over and get it,” Anni explained.

The hotline mobile number, 0497 808 315, is currently redi-rected to the Arid Recovery offi ce until the volunteer base is formed.

In the meantime, if residents come across a snake in their back-yard, Anni said the main thing to do is not aggravate it.

“Our theory is if the snake has managed to fi nd its way in, it will eventually fi nd its way out. I un-derstand that a lot of people prob-ably don’t feel very comfortable about that, especially if they have animals or young children wanting to play in the backyard,” she said.

Wildlife awareness initiative launched

Staying inside with other family members and pets is most advisable, until a respond-ent is able to come and relocate the snake.

Volunteers interested in joining the initi-ative will be given the chance to be trained in snake and wildlife handling, and the Envi-ronment Forum will also be holding a com-munity snake awareness session towards the end of October.

Locals are encouraged to attend the 90

minute session to gain a better understand-

ing of local snakes and the best way to react.

For more information on snake handling

and becoming involved in the initiative, con-

tact Anni Walsh to register your interest for

training days (October 22 and 23) on (08)

8671 2402. Places are limited.

Under the new wildlife awareness initiative volunteers will be trained in snake handling

Dam NNews wwith Barry Mitchell

While many Roxby residents would have heard of the Dam News before, it hasn’t been seen around these parts for a few years now. To provide our community with updates on what’s happening on-site, the original Dam News newsletter has been reincarnated. Each month I’ll provide a brief update of how OD is tracking and give you a bit more detail about what exactly is going on ‘out here’. It’s a bit of a mixed bag for our first edition with some great achievements but also challenges across the operation. Last month the Mine had an outstanding run, hoisting over one million tonnes to the surface – an amazing achievement. And while I’m sure many have heard the Smelter had a few issues with unplanned downtime on the waste heat boiler, repairs have been carried out safely and successfully and the Smelter team is now working hard to get things back on track. The Processing team is also hard at work as they began a major planned maintenance outage last week with lots of preparation and planning going into getting ready for one of their biggest undertakings for the year.

IIf you have any feedback or ideas for wwhat you would like to see in this column eeach month, please email odcommunityrelations @bhpbilliton.com

A short item in last week’s edition of Th e Monitor was incorrect.

Th e article was incorrect. Th e information quoted related to an out-of-date news report, and the link to the information was incorrectly provided to Th e Monitor. Th ere have been no further job losses or relocations.

Wednesday, September 25, 2013 -- www.themonitor.com.auTHE MONITOR - Your Community Newspaper

The Myall Grove Caravan Park has revealed 30 brand new studio-apart-ment style accommodation units as

part of an ongoing site upgrade.

Th e state-of-the-art apartments are fully self-contained, featuring local art and com-fortable furnishings, and have been installed to replace the 30 single men’s units previously available.

Of the 30 new units, two are wheelchair accessible.

Park Managers Julie and Don Barwick are pleased with the outcome of the new studio apartments, saying it will tailor well to corpo-rate style bookings in particular.

Th e fi ve month long project was approved a couple of years ago, and despite a 70 per cent downturn in trade, the owners took the opportunity to raise the overall standard of the park.

“Basically the single men’s quarters were not up to the standard that Aspen (Parks – corporate body) likes to have in their parks, so we wanted to put in something of a better standard, especially for corporate bookings that come to stay with us,” explained Julie.

“Th e single men’s (quarters) were very old and very tired!”

Th e continual upgrade of the park has also included a refurbishment of the six ‘motel’ style rooms in May earlier this year, and an upgrade of the 15 two-bedroom villas 18 months ago.

“It’s just the way we do things, we need to keep things new and fresh looking,” Julie ex-plained. “You know, the harsh climate here, things get very tired very quickly so, we just keep on top of it and hopefully we can get people in.”

”It’s a bit like the Harbour Bridge,” added Don. “By the time we fi nish up one lot it will be time to do the next lot. It’s never ending!”

Th e downturn in trade has resulted in 43 sites across the park becoming vacant – giv-ing Julie and Don room to move with their upgrade, but also opening opportunity for private investors to ‘set up camp’ with their own form of accommodation at the park – as long as it reaches set standards.

“It’s been a good opportunity to cleanse the park and get rid of the stuff that’s really quite undesirable,” Don said.

“Now that we’ve got all these vacant spots we do need people to come in.” Julie added.

Th e Myall Grove Caravan Park will hold an ‘open house’ inspection of the new studio apartments on Saturday, September 28. All attendees will go in the draw to win two nights of free accommodation – which can be used by the winner, or given away as a gift.

And the best part about the upgrade? Th e price hasn’t changed. Th e Park will be off ering a charge of $165 per night as an opening spe-cial, which will be valid until March next year.

Th e works were undertaken by local con-tractors Outback Landscaping, Beenham’s Electrical and Roxby Plumbing and Gas.

The Roxby Downs pool will open on September 30 with a dramatic change in the

fee structure to slash more than $100 from season memberships.

Th e Roxby Council and centre management last week announced a number of new initiatives for the upcoming swimming season – the most radical being a slash in pool entry fees and the extension of opening hours until 9pm.

Roxby Downs Town Admin-istrator Bill Boehm said the new plans aimed to encourage maxi-mum use of the facilities and cre-ate more opportunity to develop Roxby’s healthy town focus.

“Th e recent completion of the Library Link project has connected our Cultural and Leisure facilities and we aim to encourage greater use of them by our community,” Mr Boehm said.

“(Roxby) Council appreciates the importance of the pool facility to residents and to this end have made radical changes to entry fees for the local outdoor swimming pool,” he said.

Leisure Business Manager Sue Edwards said the admission price cuts would save locals big dollars at the pool gate.

“Season Ticket prices have been slashed from $180 per adult and $135 child to a fl at $40 upfront or $50 pay as you go membership! Th at’s over $100 saving; even more so for families,” Ms Edwards said.

Th e new pool fee structure has also been simplified. Children under 2 remain free but all others regardless of age are as follows:

Pool entry per day - $5.00Season Ticket Upfront - $40.00Season Ticket Pay As You Go

(Max 10 visit Card) - $5.00 per visit (Max $50.00)

Family (2 adults and 3 or more children) - $200.00

Pool Lane and Facility Hire - Additional charges apply. Apply at the centre for details.

Leisure Operations Manager Tony Weir said management were always looking at ways to improve customer services and access.

Ms Edwards said opening times could also change to suit demand.

"Th e hours of the pool opening times will be monitored and are flexible depending on demand, so we encourage everyone to take advantage of this season changes,” she said.

Th e Roxby Downs’ pool season will commence Monday, Septem-ber 30 and end March 30, 2014.

"Th e fl exibility of membership relies on the public doing the right thing by scanning their member-ship card as they enter the centre,” Mr Weir said.

“While this is not a manned ser-vice it will make up much of our statistical information, therefore we are encouraging the public to do the right thing for their own benefi t," he said.

"We will also rely on our man-agers to monitor memberships by approaching patrons as well as making sure our patron’s experi-ence in the facility is enjoyable. Hands on customers service is our aim,” Mr Weir said.

Management and council hope the slight change in opening hours to a 9pm close would encourage families to utilise the facilities, in-cluding BBQs.

Increased hours would also be in place on weekends.

Th e increase in opening hours on a weekend would bring lap swimming in line with Pulse Fit-ness opening hours at 8am.

"Anyone wishing to organise memberships pre season are wel-come to come to the centre any-time for their membership sign up," Ms Edwards said.

Local 15 year old CFS Cadet Kody McCarthy has been selected to compete at the 2013 Australian Fire Cadets Championships at the

end of the month.

Th e four day competition will be held in Myuna Bay, NSW from Monday, September 30 until Th urs-day, October 3, with cadets from all over the nation travelling to attend.

Kody, who has been a cadet with the Roxby Downs Fire Station for three years, will join other cadets from Region Four stations, as well as cadets from Regions Two and Six to make a combined team. Th ere is one other team going from South Australia – made up of cadets from Regions One, Th ree and Five.

Kody had to write a half page submission to apply for the competition, outlining what he would get out of the experience and why he was a cadet.

“I did it to make friends, meet new people and go away!” he told Th e Monitor last week. Th is will be Kody’s fi rst ever trip out of South Australia.

Volunteering is commonplace in Kody’s family. “In my family I have had heaps of family members vol-unteer. My grandma has been in the SES for about 35 years!”

Kody said he is looking forward to the new expe-rience, and learning to understand more CFS termi-nology.

He is the fi rst cadet from Roxby Downs to be select-ed for the competition.

Lee Iles, Roxby Downs CFS Cadet coordinator was very pleased with Kody’s selection.

“Kody is very into cadets, he knows his stuff , he just sucks up all the information and is a good leader. He’s also very driven,” she said.

In November, Kody is eligible to move up to a sen-ior grade with the Roxby Downs CFS, dependent on approval from his leader.

He thanked everyone involved for the experience.

Roxby Business Spotlight

By Millie Thomas

A fter being in business in Roxby Downs for 15 years, Dr Andrew Melville-Smith at Roxby Vet Clinic said business can be

challenging in town, but he and his staff strive to provide a reliable service.

After surviving the global fi nancial crisis, the fall of the Clarke Shaft and the change of major mining company from WMC to BHPB, Dr Melville Smith described business in Roxby Downs ‘up and down like a cork in a rough sea’.

“We’ve had quite a few lows, so it’s not a consist-ent place to work in,” Dr Melville Smith told Th e Monitor last week. “Of course when you get the downturn, you get a huge amount of people leaving, so that makes it quite challenging.

“But the other thing of course is the remoteness.”Dr Melville-Smith works mostly from Roxby

Vet’s parent company Whyalla Vet Clinic, making regular weekly trips to Roxby Downs to attend to patient needs. In times of emergency, an out of hours mobile is monitored by nursing staff 24 hours a day. Video link-up is available should the situation require Dr Melville-Smith’s examination.

Roxby Vet has also experienced staffi ng issues as families leave town during downturns, losing all but one trained nurse when the Olympic Dam mine expansion was cancelled in August last year.

“Th at creates an interesting dimension to work-ing up here,” Dr Melville-Smith said.

However, in true tradition of taking ‘the good with the bad’, the good times are booked out with consultations and interesting patient cases, with some being referred back to the Whyalla Clinic for further examination.

“It’s an essential service for people up here,” Dr Melville-Smith said. “We’ve been here for a long time.

“We try to run a very reliable service up here so people know they can count on us, particularly when we do surgery, or when a patient is back you can get local follow up when that happens, and that’s pretty important.

“It’s like everything up here if you want the ser-vice; you’ve got to support it.”

Th e Whyalla and Roxby Vet Clinic also provide opportunity for veterinary science students to get some hands on experience, as visiting sixth year Melbourne University student Jessica Wallis ex-plained.

“I’ve done quite a few (placements), but none quite like this,” she laughed. “It’s just really hands on, and you get to see a lot of real cases.

“It’s learning how to be a vet; it’s not just learning the theory behind what you should do in certain situations.”

Jessica is more familiar with outback South Aus-tralia than many may think, having grown up in Leigh Creek.

The Roxby Downs RFDS Auxiliary handed over $100,000 to the Royal

Flying Docs at their annual golf and auction day on Saturday, for the seventh consecutive year.

Th e outstanding amount, cou-pled with other fundraising ef-forts since the auxiliary’s incep-tion in 1987 has brought the total fundraising amount to a whop-ping $1.7 million.

With this year’s event marking the Royal Flying Doctor’s 85th an-niversary

RFDS dignitaries attended the landmark event, including RFDS Central Operations CEO John Lynch, RFDS Board Chairman David Hills, board members Paul Prestwich and Brendan Eblen, Volunteer Coordinator Debbie Adams (with her husband Sam Adams), Malcolm Taylor RFDS Volunteer and Gary Williams Pi-

lot for Pilatus.Th eir visit included the pres-

entation of Meritous Service Awards given to long time RFDS Auxiliary contributors, includ-ing well-known locals Marie and Leo McCormack and Ken and Val Lamb for their outstanding voluntary services. The recip-ients are founding members of the auxiliary, and have been on the committee for over 20 years.

Long-time locals and contrib-utors Merv and Erilee Rogers were also recognised for 17 years’ service to the auxiliary, Michelle Gillings for 15 years and Kelli-Jo and Dave Kovac for 13.

RFDS Roxby Downs Auxilia-ry Secretary, Cherie Gaskin said the RFDS Roxby Downs Auxilia-ry was thrilled with the way local and surrounding communities got behind the Giant Auction and Golf Day each and every year.

“We wouldn’t be able to do this without the continued support and generosity of the community,

and for that we thank each and every one of you.”

Two truckloads of donated goods were up for auction on the day, provided by both local and general suppliers.

According to Mrs Gaskin, items varied from vouchers to clothing, furniture to fi re buckets.

“Our auction items come from near and far, from local business and residents, large and small companies and everywhere in-between,” she said.

“It is only through the generos-ity of others that we have so many auction items each and every year, and for that we thank you.”

Th e day was fi nished as always, with an impressive fi reworks dis-play.

“What a better way to wrap up a very busy, but family orientated fun day. Th ank you to everyone who was involved in any way, you helped make the day a great success. ”

Local postal delivery contractors Cherie and Matt Holder have

reminded locals to get in early this year if they hope to receive their goodies before Christmas.

Postal deliveries increase exponentially from the end of October right up until Christ-mas according to the Holders, with deliveries going from as little as 900 to 1500 per week.

“If people don’t want to shop locally, they need to be organised early,” Cherie said.

Th e Holders estimated it takes approximately two to three days for deliveries com-ing from Adelaide.

For those residents looking

at mail redirection or mail holding while they are away for the Christmas break, they also reminded forms need to be fi lled out and returned at least a week before departure, to allow for processing.

Matt said 95 per cent of mail is sorted in Rox-by Downs. He recently was awarded a Vocational Ex-cellence Award from Rotary for his services to the Roxby Downs community.

“We have a great team working for us – which makes it a lot easier,” added Cherie. “Th ey are trustworthy, hon-est and reliable team; they are Christine Meyer, Fiona Run-dle and Ally Steer.”

Matt and Cherie have both been in postal services for 26

years, with Matt working for 30-40 post offices, and Cherie working in various departments of the industry. Th is includes merchandising, management and security and investigations.

The couple had one last request before locals start to furiously order Christmas presents …

“It would help if people would put their letterboxes in appropriate positions that have clear access!

“And to make sure the let-terboxes are replaced when they are stolen!”

All these little reminders help local postal services de-liver gifts to the right address just in time for Christmas!

Posties warn: Get in early for Christmas!

Library grand opening19 September 2013

By Millie Thomas

Roxby Downs’ new ‘Library Link’ building has been

offi cially opened with a ceremony conducted only last week.

Th e building housing the town’s contempo-rary community library was officially opened last Th ursday night and heralds a new age in li-brary services for Roxby Downs.

It is now the newest li-brary in South Australia.

Completed with re-sources from contractors from the local area and interstate, the modern new facilities were open-ing in front of a group of State library dignitaries and passionate commu-nity members, including those who helped make the project happen.

Th e building and fur-nishing of the project fi nished up earlier this year, with the major-ity of the work being completed by leading contractor Multispan, along with others such as well-known local busi-ness MPS.

Public access began a few months ago and the local community is already taking advantage of the library’s updated resources.

Th e new Link Library building was designed to fill the vacant area between the sport cen-

tre and cultural precint - “linking” the leisure centre’s arts and sports facilities.

The ceremony was attended by Hon Lyn Breuer and the members and CEO of the Libraries Board of South Austral-ia, who visited Roxby Downs as part of their annual regional tour.

Th e opening brings to an end a journey which included the seperation of the community and school libraries.

James Bruce, Chair of Th e Libraries Board of South Australia, ad-dressed the 40-strong crowd, saying when ar-riving in Roxby Downs he never thought he’d fi nd ‘such a desert gem’, saying the community are ‘the luckiest people to be residents in such a fi ne town’.

He said the opening of the new building was a great success, saying “our interest is to see these resources available to all of South Australia, and tonight I believe we are celebrating a success story.”

A Sprinkle of Magic and Red Desert Cleaning have won in a draw of 302 votes a piece to be

the 2013 Roxby Downs Most Popular Business.

The surprise announcement was accompanied by a back-to-back win by Roxby Hourglass Jewellers in both the Best Small Business category and Most Outstanding Business category for 2013.

More than 100 people gathered at the Roxby Leisure Auditorium on Friday night for the sell-out gala event, hosted by BHP Billiton’s Head of Production Olympic Dam Barry Mitchell.

Th e night included a keynote address by BHP Billiton Olympic Dam Asset President Darryl Cuzzubbo.

Sustainababy took out the award for Best Micro Business, Subway won Best Medium Business and GHD took out the title of Best Large Business for 2013.

Th e second annual awards are organ-ised by the Business Executive Steering Committee and all but the Most Pop-ular Business were judged from nom-inations received by an independent group of judges.

Th e most Popular Business was the only category awarded for the total number of votes received from mem-bers of the community.

Th e three judges for 2013 were Roxby Council Town Administrator Bill Boe-hm, BHP Billiton Olympic Dam Super-

intendent - Community Aff airs Chad Menzies, and Regional Development Far North’s John Rejack.

In her address to the packed room Business Forum Executive Steering Committee (BFESC) Chair Laura Trotta acknowledged the good work of local businesses and the key role of the forum.

“Th ese awards are a showcase event and are so important to recognise and acknowledge the services our local businesses provide to our local commu-nity and who help make it the fantastic place it is to live,” Mrs Trotta said.

Th e evening also included a speech from visiting business guru Brenton Leitch, who hosted workshops in Roxby Downs last week.

Mr Leitch said the business ethos and friendliness of Roxby Downs made him proud to be an Australian.

He said energy, passion, enthusiasm, discipline and respect for employees were all evident in the success of the local businesses acknowledged by the awards this year.

Mr Mitchell said the title of Most Outstanding Business had been hotly contested this year.

“Th e Most Outstanding Award was, as expected, a hotly contested field comprising of Roxby’s premier busi-nesses,” Mr Mitchell said.

“Th is has been an extremely diffi cult decision.”

Holiday Program

W ith it reaching some hot tempera-tures already, we know it is going to be a hot summer in Roxby Downs

this year.

Looking after yourself and your pets in the coming months will be important to keep the whole family healthy.

Here are some tips for the warmer months:• Exercise with your dog should be done early in the morning or later at night once the sun has gone down.• If you do have to walk your dog during the day, use doggie boots! Heat radiates from the ground in warmer temperatures, especially off cement and ashphalt.• Beware of the signs of dehydration. Dogs cannot perspire and cool off by panting, so an overheated dog will drool excessively. Other signs include lethargy, blood shot eyes, dark or bright red tongue and gums, looking pale, and if you lift its skin it will take longer than usual to fall back into place. Make sure to carry a water bottle with you when going on walks, and keeping the water bowl at home topped up at all times.• Th ere are heaps of ways to cool your dog. Find a spot in the shade and set up a kiddie pool, lay down a wet towel for your animals to lie on, or spray them with a gently mist of water (make sure to spray their paws and stomach too!).

Committee (YAC) is kicking goals this year when it comes to youth

development and participation.

With close to full attendance at each fort-nightly meeting, the YAC are making the voice of young people in our community be heard.

Th ey have brought us successful events such as Gaming Night and Roxby’s Got Tal-ent, and actively advocate for issues impact-ing on young people with their connection

to the Roxby Downs Community Board.With recent consultation as part of the

Roxby Council’s development of a public health plan, the private consultants and Roxby Council members involved were ex-tremely impressed with their vibrant and insightful views of youth health. A number of issues were highlighted as important from increasing opportunity for exercise and nu-tritional education for young people to safe tattooing practices.

Roxby Council Administrator Bill Boehm said “It’s great to see the energetic partici-

pation by our local youth as part of Roxby’s YAC Committee for it is with this leadership that great outcomes can follow. Th ey are vi-tal to knowing what young people need and want, and our planning for improvements in the future. More positive youth led out-comes will no doubt follow”.

Th e YAC’s next event will be a youth pool party held on Friday, November 8 with a DJ, pizza and massive amounts of fun; make sure you get along to that end of year event to celebrate the year that was!

A recent MLC Tennis Hotshots registration session was considered a success, attracting 58 children for the forthcoming season.

Th e enthusiasm of the children has however been marred by less enthusiasm

in attracting committee members, with a recent attempt at holding a club AGM unsuc-

cessful, with few people present.

It has now been rescheduled to be held on Wednesday, October 16 at 730pm in the

Community Library, with all positions open.

If the required numbers are not in attendance at this second AGM date, the associ-

ation may have to fold.

There was action aplenty in Saturday’s dirt circuit racing in Roxby Downs.

By Millie Thomas

The Olympic Dam Cricket Club is looking forward to the upcoming 2013/2014 cricket season, following

successes in the last three Roxby Downs Cricket Association premierships.

Th e 25 year old team have actually been the victors in 15 premierships, and two of the three t20 premierships, making it easily the league’s most successful team.

Olympic Dam Cricket Club President Rein Geraghty said the club will be building it’s off fi eld, as well as it’s on fi eld presence.

“We want to ensure we get more of the family feel back into the club and have regular social events,” he told Th e Monitor recently.

“As a club we are looking forward to another

fun and successful year ahead. Our number one goal is to enjoy the game and each other’s company.”

With the return of former player Joel Ni-cholson and majority of ODCC’s 2012/2013 team, Rein said the club should present a well balanced team.

He picked the Roxby Rogues as ODCC’s main competition this year, stating they have a ‘strong club on and off the fi eld and should perform well again.’

He enticed all to come along to Wednesday night trainings.

“We also have a number of young kids who join us as well and benefi t from the advice and guidance from the older players,” he said.

For more information, call Rein on 0437 422 919.
