Roxby Downs Area School’s e f f o r t s t o p r o m o t e indigenous culture have

seen it represented in four of six categories in this year’s local NAIDOC Week awards.

Aboriginal community education offi cer Sandy Gibb was named Com-munity Person of the Year and was joined by Roxby Downs Area School (RDAS) student Kiaran Dadleh (Stu-dent of the Year) and parent Danielle Way (Apprentice of the Year) and the

Yakarti Room (Artist of the Year). Apart from members of the RDAS

community, local man Stuart Orr was named Indigenous Sportsper-son of the Year and Vimba Warta received the Business of the Year award.

Mrs Gibb said she was surprised to have received an award and it was exciting for the school to be recog-nised in so many categories.

“I am very humbled and stoked to win this award,” she said. “I was expecting someone else to win this award, so I was also very shocked.

“I would like to thank the (NAI-DOC Week) committee for the nomination and (fellow Yakar-

ti Room teacher) Mrs (Nardene) Montgomerie, who has provided me with amazing support.”

Mrs Gibb was nominated for her work in the school’s Yakarti Room – an initiative aimed at encourag-ing students to learn more about indigenous culture – and her other roles with the multicultural coff ee mornings, NAIDOC Week commit-tee and supporting Kerri Orr with the Aboriginal Women’s Network.

She said she felt proud to be a part of the indigenous community and was looking forward to celebrating this at NAIDOC Week.

“I love NAIDOC Week because it is a celebration of Aboriginal cul-

ture, which is amazing,” she said.“I am proud to be indigenous

and be a part of the very spiritual culture. Hopefully we can spread this, and the Yakarti Room helps with this.

“Students come in every day and we share it with them, so it is very exciting.”

Meanwhile Kiaran said he was also excited to hear about his award after spending a lot of time with younger indigenous students at school and in local sporting teams.

“I was pretty excited when I found out I was nominated, and when I found out (last � ursday) it was a great feeling, very cool,” he said.

“My parents are very proud of my eff orts.”

� e Yakarti Room won Artist of the Year in recognition of students’ work in two pictures books they created for Roxby’s 25th anniversary celebrations in 2013.

� e books, � e Dove and the Pi-geon and Papadiditji the Orphan Boy, will be handed out to attendees of upcoming NAIDOC Week events and are also available for reading at the roxbylink visitor information centre.

“They really loved working on those books,” Mrs Gibb said.

“� ey were all very proud of their work, and so they should be.”

The Roxby Downs community has rallied behind the Feltus family since the passing of Craig ‘Boogie’ Feltus last month.

Local sporting clubs and businesses have made donations, created funding accounts and held fund-raisers as a way of providing fi nancial assistance to the family.

“I would like to thank everyone that has support-

ed us through this hard time,” Tammy Feltus told � e Monitor last week. “� anks to Bruce and James from Macmahon — they went above and beyond in supporting the Feltus family.

“Also BHP Billiton, WorkPac, ATIVO, Hornridge Sporting Club, Clint and Jody Gow-Smith and the Mo-tocross club for setting up the GoFundMe account and all the people who have made donations to us.

“I would also like to thank family and friends over on the west coast area, and the Streaky Bay Community Hotel for holding Craig’s wake.

“Our family would also like to thank Renee and Jessie Anderson and Heidi Lynch, without whom I would have been lost. � e Roxby Downs hospital, Royal Fly-ing Doctors Service and Royal Adelaide Hospital were also a big help.”

Mrs Feltus said donations, fl owers and messages from individuals had also been streaming in over the past few weeks, and she was thankful for this support.

The Hornridge Sporting Club held a successful fundraiser at its Spicks ’n’ Specks night recently, while WorkPac has arranged a card and donations among the sentries team, of which Mrs Feltus is a member.

Also local business D & D Supplies donated the pro-ceeds ($350) from its jumping castle at the football on Saturday, June 20.

Before his passing as a result of a bike accident, Mr Feltus worked for Macmahon, hence the company has also come on board to help his family.

“Initially we provided support to the family to assist them getting to Adelaide,” Macmahon mining opera-tions manager James Glover told � e Monitor.

“Following on from that, we threw the hat out on site and got some of the work boys to donate, and we will also be doing some payroll deductions with the money going to the family.”

Macmahon will also be holding a dinner in the com-ing weeks to raise more money, and currently has a raffl e going with a Hawthorn guernsey signed by Grant Birchall as the major prize.

“Craig was a great employee and was very well re-spected in the mine,” Mr Glover said.

“It is a close-knit community and he had a young family, so we are more than happy to help.”

Mrs Feltus said the support her family had received was one of the reasons that she and the children would be staying in Roxby Downs. She will also be continuing her work as a sentry at Olympic Dam.

The Sammy D Foundation visited Roxby Downs to share an important message with both students and

adults last week. Neil Davis created the foundation after

his son Sam was killed in a one-punch at-tack at a party at the age of 17.

Mr Davis has since been on a mission to prevent the same thing from happening to someone else.

“I just want to stop it from happening to another family,” he said during his presenta-tion to parents at the roxbylink cinema on the evening of Monday, June 22.

“It can aff ect so many people. � ere are consequences people don’t think about.

“Don’t be that idiot.”Mr Davis gave his presentation to Roxby

Downs Area School students during the day before the presentation to parents that night.

He was accompanied by Jessie Bennie, another member of the foundation, and to-gether they presented Sam’s story and the message of drinking responsibly, the risks

of taking drugs and how to hold a safe party. � is was the fi rst time the foundation had

visited Roxby Downs after already visiting around 50,000 people in 12,000 diff erent locations.

Mr Davis said he felt that he had gotten the message across to the local communi-ty despite a small turnout to the evening presentation.

“It is hard for some parents to make it to

these later sessions because they get home from work and might have to take the kids to sport or something,” he told � e Monitor.

“But I fi nd those are the people that see the parents that did go in the yard the next day and say ‘I wish I had of gone’.

“Everywhere we go the kids are so qui-et that some of the teachers can’t believe it, but it just shows the message is getting through.”

While Mr Davis’s story is one of tragedy, with a lot of teary eyes at the later session with the parents, he said the session is not aimed at scaring kids.

Ms Bennie said having the two sessions, one with the children and one with the adults, would hopefully get them talking and openly communicating about drinking, drugs and staying safe.

“Having the conversation about alcohol for example with your parents allows the kids to feel more comfortable talking about those kinds of things with them,” she said.

“So they will feel comfortable enough to call them at 3am in the morning if they are in trouble, rather than trying to cover up the situation and getting into more trouble .”

Foundation urges locals to ‘party wise’

An overhaul of Roxby Counci l ’s 2015/16 Draft Annual Business

Plan to refl ect the economic challenges faced by locals was called for at last � ursday’s final consultation on the document.

Local woman Carly Walker was among a handful of com-munity members who stood before council representatives to give formal feedback on the draft plan.

Ms Walker said council should scale back its proposed actions in light of the fi nancial uncertainty faced by BHP Bil-liton Olympic Dam employees.

“I suggest you seriously look at what you’re spending,” she said.

“Why would you throw mon-ey away at the moment when everyone is trying to cut back and save?”

Ms Walker questioned the need for upgrades to roxbylink facilities, with council’s pro-posed actions including im-provements to the Pulse Fit-ness gym and an upgrade of the Dunes Cafe kitchen.

She also called for a more de-tailed breakdown of council’s spending in its public budget documents.

However, Roxby Council administrator Bill Boehm said such a breakdown was diffi cult, as council still had to submit its budget to BHP Billiton for approval before it could be fi nalised.

Mr Boehm also noted that locals had complained that last year’s draft annual business plan was too detailed, hence

the 2015/16 document had been simplifi ed.

Out of about 30 attendees on the night, local man Chris Beattie also took to the podium to submit his verbal feedback.

Mr Beattie noted with con-cern that, according the Draft Annual Business Plan, both BHP Billiton and the State Govern-ment had indicated they would like to remove their $600,000 per annum contribution to council as soon as possible.

He said he doubted council’s ability to stop this from happen-ing, but he believed something needed to be done about it.

“� is town only exists for the mine, and the State Government encouraged everyone to be-come participants of the Roxby Downs development,” he said.

“Now that the town’s built, they want to walk away from their responsibility.”

Mr Beattie also noted that BHP Billiton appeared to have deliberately positioned the Olympic Dam mine outside of the Roxby Council area to avoid paying commercial rates.

“I would throw that in as pret-ty good bargaining chips for this community to talk with them,” said planning officer Stuart Payne, who chaired the meeting.

More general concerns raised on the night included newspa-per litter, solar power restric-tions, businesses operating out of homes and the extent to which council consults with the Roxby Downs Community Board.

Along with one formal writ-ten submission, council will consider the verbal feedback it received and is set to provide a written report and comment by M onday, July 13.

Calls for spending cuts

The salon is well appointed with 5 chairs, two wash basins, a manicure table and a massage table.

More reductions in BHP Billiton employee numbers could be on their way following reports of about 140 jobs being cut from its

Olympic Dam operation last week.� e Advertiser reported last � ursday that most

of the positions aff ected were in service of the mine but based at the company’s Adelaide headquarters.

However, a BHP Billiton spokesperson told � e Monitor a review was being undertaken to investigate further reductions, with aff ected employees to be notifi ed “quickly and respectfully”.

“All areas of the operation, including labour pro-ductivity, are being examined, and we expect there will be some workforce reductions,” the spokesperson said.

“At Olympic Dam, we continue to simplify our business to ensure we are operating as effi ciently as possible. � is is consistent with the work being done in other BHP Billiton operations and across the re-sources sector, and refl ects the challenging external environment.”

On behalf of � e Salvation Army, I wish to sincerely thank your readers for supporting this year’s Red Shield Appeal.

People have been extremely generous to � e Salvation Army. Across the nation, thousands of volunteers mobilised to collect for the appeal.

We are also all too aware that right now huge numbers of Australians are struggling to make ends meet.

Our own research shows that 91 per cent of people surveyed in our Economic Social Impact Survey do not have $500 in savings and 25 per cent are unable to aff ord a decent meal at least once a day. Many have cut back on basic neces-sities to support themselves and their families.

It is unquestionably diffi cult for many people, and those we assist who are doing it tough.

� ere is still time to donate to the appeal. If

you would like to help, please call 13 SALVOS (13 72 58) or visit: salvationarmy.org.au

We are truly humbled by the incredible support we receive from so many individuals and businesses.

� e Salvation Army is there to help others and we are focused on assisting those who have hit hard times and wish to turn their lives around.

We thank everyone in your community who got behind the Appeal and recognise this im-mense kindness.

It is this support that is critical to � e Salva-tion Army’s ongoing work.

E ldo Hotel head chef Aiden Sczesny was named one of Australia’s best during the Unilever Food

Solutions Chef of the Year competition in Melbourne recently.

In his fi rst-ever cooking competition, the Woomera-based chef fi nished in the top eight after competing against some of the best chefs in the country.

“It was a brilliant experience, and to fi nish in the top eight from my fi rst competition was great,” he told � e Monitor.

“I was just happy to be there, and to make the fi nals must have meant I was doing something right.

“I just wanted to do it to challenge myself, which is why I happily accepted when I was asked if I wanted to enter.”

Head chef at the Eldo Hotel is not Mr Sczesny’s only role – he also holds the same title at some of the biggest sporting events on the Australian calendar.

Each year he caters for corporate boxes at Melbourne’s Spring Racing Carnival and Formula One Grand Prix events, along with the Moto GP on Phillip Island.

However, Mr Sczesny said working at these large events was very diff erent to the pressure he experienced at the recent competition.

“It was full on, cooking in front of some of the best and most high-profi le judges in the food industry,” he said.

“It was one thing to get my food critiqued by some of the biggest names in the food industry, but to cook in front of 300 to 400 people as well (was another thing).”

� e competition was held in the Mel-bourne Exhibition Centre from Sunday, May 31, to Tuesday, June 2, with four small

kitchen areas set up in the middle of the centre.

Mr Sczesny said he had never seen anything like it.

He said the competition was similar to a mystery box challenge on MasterChef Aus-tralia, with the fi rst round of contestants only fi nding out what ingredients they were using two days before the competition.

“In the semi-fi nal we had to use lamb fl aps, and in my 15 years of cooking I have never used them,” he said.

“So we had to create an entree and a main using the lamb fl aps, lamb rump, lime pow-der and paprika paste.

“We had to make four of each and they had to look exactly the same.”

His opponent in the semi-fi nal went on to win the competition, but Mr Sczesny said only three or four points separated him from making the top fi ve.

Having made the fi nals at this year’s com-petition, he automatically qualifi es for next year’s event in Sydney.

Mr Sczesny is now back at the Eldo for the next few months before attending the Melbourne Cup in November.

“It is defi nitely going from one extreme to the other,” he said. “It is really good because it gives me a change, but I really do like the remote lifestyle.”

More than 80 women working in land management enjoyed an opportunity to network, relax

and celebrate their infl uence in regional natural resources management when they attended a two-day retreat at Marree recently.

� e Women’s Retreat, held on June 18-20, attracted more than 80 participants and was sponsored by the SA Arid Lands (SAAL) Natural Resources Management (NRM) Board, the Australian Government’s Na-tional Landcare Program and BHP Billiton.

SAAL NRM Board presiding member Janet Brook said the initiative was a collab-oration between the sponsors and a highly motivated organising crew of regional wom-en from pastoral properties.

“Women are not only contributors to small township communities and pastoral enterprises,” she said.

“� ey are often highly skilled profession-als who are passionate about the environ-

ment and who are leaders and infl uencers in their own right…

“Women connected to each other, their communities and the world are essential to healthy regional populations so that they can continue to thrive and care for the re-gion’s precious natural resources.”

The retreat’s four main themes were women in rural business, health and well-being, personal development and exploring artistic expression.

� e packed program off ered attendees a chance to explore business diversifi cation opportunities, hear about the latest inno-vations and technologies in pastoral man-agement and animal health and discover how to awaken entrepreneurial confi dence.

It also included jewellery making and can-dle wicking, and concluded with a market in the Maree Progress Hall on the Saturday morning.

SAAL NRM Board regional landcare fa-cilitator Lisa Stevens was among the event’s organising committee members.

Ms Stevens said the retreat had been open to all women living in the Arid Lands NRM region, particularly those living in the Marree area.

“As we were hosting it in their town, we wanted them involved,” she said.

Ms Stevens said women had come from all over the region and even interstate to attend, with many submitting positive feedback about the event.

She said highlights included a ‘Paddock to Plate’ workshop on native plants, along with a presentation about regional commu-nities by anthropologist Deane Fergie at the formal dinner.

“� ere’s always stuff to improve on, but people thought it was great to meet so many talented and interesting women from around the country,” Ms Stevens said.

“One woman said that ‘we as outback women like to consider ourselves resilient and of course we have to be, but there’s nothing like an inspiration to recharge’.”

Coober Pedy celebrated 50 years of permanent policing in the town recently when

a wide range of past and present offi cers attended the event.

Among the attendees were Far North operations inspector Ian Humby and Superintendent Peter Anderson, along with regional Chief Superintendent Scott Duval.

Also in attendance was the Coo-ber Pedy Police Station’s current offi cer in charge, Senior Sergeant Allan Dawson, its inaugural offi cer in charge, Eric ‘Dusty’ Rhodes (who

joined in June 1965), and its fi rst female police offi cer, Peta-Alison Giles.

� e 50th anniversary celebrations included an open day at the police station on Saturday, June 6, followed by a ceremony.

Ninety guests attended a dinner that same night, while on the Sun-day the Coober Pedy RSL held a bar-becue to mark the occasion.

Displays including photographs and exhibits on loan from the his-torical society were also a highlight of the weekend’s celebrations.

A love of children and a “bottomless pit o f patience” are what help

drive local photographer Hayley Scrivens to achieve the best outcome for her clients.

H e r b u s i n e s s , M o o k Photography, offers high quality studio and outdoor portraits of families, children and newborns.

Ms Scrivens also provides a photo booth service for birthday parties and other special occasions.

She boasts nine years’ experi-ence in the industry, including year-long stints as a wedding photographer and as a chil-dren’s photographer for Baby Target.

“Photography has always been my favourite visual art medium,” Ms Scrivens said.

“I just fell in love with it, and I love children.

“If you like children they relax around you and they like you.”

Ms Scrivens said she had received a lot of positive feedback since starting up Mook Photography last year.

She said she enjoyed the abili-ty to be creative as an artist and celebrate new life when taking photographs of infants, while older children provided a range of facial expressions to explore.

“Capturing their expressions is really rewarding,” she said.

‘Cake smash’ photography is another specialty of Ms Scriv-ens, who is usually asked to take these kinds of photos to cele-brate fi rst birthdays.

“It’s great to watch little one year-olds discover cake for the fi rst time,” she said.

If clients are dissatisfi ed with the fi nal product, Ms Scrivens is happy to off er a second sitting free of charge.

“For me I want all my clients to be really happy and in love with their work,” she said.

“I want to be proud of the work that’s on people’s walls, and I want them to be proud as well.”

Producing a quality photo-graph of an excited child can have its challenges, Ms Scrivens said, with sessions not always going to plan.

“It can all just go out the win-dow,” she said.

“Sometimes they get really emotional.

“I think it’s just about having this kind of bottomless pit of patience.

“You just have to be calm and be peaceful and be able to take anything as it comes.”

Ms Scrivens said having a young child herself helped pro-vide perspective, and it always paid to be well prepared with toys, food and drink.

She said taking breaks, re-

sponding to the child’s needs and “not having unrealistic ex-pectations” was also important.

“I’ve got to create the atmos-phere and the opportunity for the right moments, and I have to be ready to capture them and make sure I’m doing everything I can to make the children feel safe and happy,” she said.

“You have to really be able to read children very well.”

Ms Scrivens said she had a range of backgrounds at her home studio for clients to choose from.

“I usually have an idea of what’s going to work best and I do give them options,” she said.

Ms Scrivens said she would only be providing the studio service until the end of the year, but after that she would still be available for home vis-its, outdoor shoots and photo booths.

For more information, visit the Facebook page or contact Hayley Scrivens via phone (0459 824 026) or email ([email protected]).

Lo c a l b u s i n e s s Charms Fotos is this month

off ering locals a chance to book an aff ordable photography session for their child while also donating to a worthy cause.

Owner Charmayne Cronje is providing her professional services at a heavily discounted rate – just $20 for a photography session and an A4 enlargement – for appointments booked during a one-week

period at the end of July (dates to be confi rmed).

Ms Cronje said she would donate the net proceeds to the Cancer Council.

“It is a cause that is very close to my heart, and I try to do some-thing for them every year, so I’m hoping to get as many people as pos-sible involved,” she said.

Ms Cronje said she aimed to raise at least $300 via the photogra-phy sessions, which would take place in her home studio.

“I have a whole range of backdrops, including cartoon characters,” she said. “� ese will be avail-able during the fundrais-ing week.

“It’s easier to get chil-dren warmed up and get natural smiles that way.”

Ms Cronje encouraged local parents to book in a portrait session for their children to avoid missing out on capturing these important times in their lives.

“People don’t always update their photos as often as they should do,” she said. “� ey forget to take pictures, and chil-dren grow up so quickly.”

With nearly 4000 ‘likes’ on her Facebook page (www.facebook.com/CharmsFotos), Ms Cronje said she felt bless-ed to have such support and she received a lot of positive feedback from customers.

&Kids Babies

Local children and their parents can warm up this winter at a series of health and well-being

sessions being held over the July school holidays.

Facilitated by the Roxby Downs Health Service’s Strengthening our Families program, along with local al-lied health experts, the Winter Warm-Up program will provide health and social support for families in the area.

Strengthening our Families co-ordinator Samantha Muller said the program was designed for babies and children aged up to 12 years.

Ms Muller said it provided families with fun and free activities during what could otherwise be a quiet and isolat-ing time in town.

“Activities will range from obstacle courses, throwing and catching, movement and music, water play, sun safety and craft activities,” she said.

“While the activities are aimed at children, the program also provides parents with an important opportuni-ty to catch up and socialise with other Roxby Downs families.”

Ms Muller said Country Health SA staff and Strengthening our Families

volunteers would be present to set up and facilitate the activities, but all children should be accompanied by a responsible caregiver to support their child through the activities.

Children are required to wear broad-brimmed hats and bring a water-fi lled drink bottle, and parents are encour-aged to pack a healthy fruit or vegeta-ble snack for children to eat at the end of each session.

� e Winter Warm-Up sessions will be held at Lions Park from 10.30am to 12 noon on Monday, July 6, and Mon-day, July 13, along with another two at the roxbylink stadium on Wednesday, July 8, and Wednesday, July 15, from 10.30am to 12 noon.

Ms Muller said the Winter Warm-Up program was made possible by the Roxby Downs Health Service Auxiliary in its funding of new equipment and access provided by roxbylink to its in-door stadium, along with support from the Roxby Downs Health Service and Strengthening our Families program.

Session times and dates will continue to be promoted on the Strengthening our Families Facebook page, or for more information phone the Roxby Downs Health Service on 8671 9020.

Roxby children to keep warm over holidays

Ewan, Isabelle, Gabriella, Strengthening our Families co-ordinator Samantha Muller, Audrey and Hamish are excited about the upcoming Winter Warm-Up program.

Ticket sales bloom for fashion fundraiserThe Roxby Downs

A r e a S c h o o l (RDAS) Parents

and Friends group had its most successful fashion show fundraiser ever at the RDAS Hall on Saturday night.

In true Roxby style, most of the 130 tickets – the most purchased to date – were sold in the fi-nal days before the event, for which this year’s theme was ‘In Bloom’.

�e three visiting busi-nesses – Postie Fashions, of Port Pirie, Studio Fif-teen, of Adelaide, and Uptown Girl, of Port Au-gusta – all enjoyed strong sales on the night and had plenty of positive feed-back for the organisers.

Event emcee Jack

MacGuire explained each of the outfits modelled by local women on the night, with the crowd providing applause and cheers of support for the ladies as they took to the catwalk.

�e show raised more than $7000, including more than $2000 from the silent and live auctions.

�e funds will be put towards the Parents and Friends group’s goals for improving the school in the coming months.

�ese include barista training along with a new kitchen garden, secure bike enclosure and mar-ket day coffee machine.

“A huge thank you to all involved,” said an event spokesperson.

“It was a great result for the students of RDAS.”

Record entries for talent compWRITTEN BYPATRICK GLOVER

A record number of entrants competed in Roxby’s Got Talent at the roxbylink auditorium on Saturday night.

� e Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) this year opened the competition to two new age groups, fi ve to nine year-olds and 10 to 14 year-olds, resulting in 32 entrants across 21 acts performing in the show.

“It was a great night and this year there was a fantastic variety of acts from vocals, to solo dancing and even Ainsley (Steer) did an acro-batic routine,” said Roxby Council community

projects offi cer Kirsten Falt.� e crowd on the night was also one of the

biggest in the three years the show has been running, with 195 people taking a seat in the audience.”

Ms Falt told � e Monitor she was thrilled with the turnout and how supportive the crowd was of each act.

“It was good to see such a big crowd and all the encouragement,” she said.

“� ey got right behind those on stage, even if when they fi rst got up there they were a little stage shy.”

Ainsley Steer won in the fi ve to nine years age group, while dance group Zero Gravity – comprised of Kate and Amy Dospisil and

Georgia and Mikayla Freemantle – was the winner among entrants aged 10 to 14 years.

For the 15 to 19 year-olds, Bonnie Quatermass took out first place with her rendition of Adele’s hit song Rolling in the Deep.

Meanwhile Matthew Green won in the open section with his instrumental solo.

The winners will get another chance to show off their talents when they perform at the Red eAR� Festival’s variety concert later this year.

Ms Falt said the YAC did a wonderful job organising the event, with tasks including helping with ticket sales and backstage man-agement.

“� e YAC really pulled together,” she said.TALENT COMPETITION RESULTS

Thank you – Draft Annual Business Plan feedback

Council thanks everyone who took the time to read, find out more and attend the

public meetings regarding the Draft Annual Business Plan released last month.

Approximately 25 community members attended the community information session on � ursday, June 18, with another 30 community members attending the formal meet-ing of Council on � ursday, June 25.

While the community information session was run quite informally, with attendees able to mingle and ask questions of senior Roxby Coun-cil staff in attendance, the council meeting on � ursday, June 25, was a more formal aff air and was chaired by Council’s Planning Offi cer, Stuart Payne.

Seven people took the opportunity to address the meeting, commenting and asking questions on a range of issues included in the Draft Annual Business Plan and other council mat-ters more generally.

One formal written submission on the Draft Annual Business Plan was received and will also be taken into consideration as Council fi nalises its 2015/15 Annual Business Plan and Budget.

In response, Council will provide a written report and comment on the feedback received by Monday, July 13.

Roxby Roadsafe would like to advise parents that there have been changes to the Road Traffi c

Act 1961 that now require all children riding bicycles, scooters, skateboards, rollerblades and other wheeled devices to wear a safety helmet.

� is is outlined in full in the Road Traf-fi c Act 1961, Section 162 (safety helmets and riders of wheeled recreational devices and wheeled toys).

A safety helmet is required to be worn when a person is riding a wheeled recrea-tional device (includes rollerblades, roller skates, a skateboard or similar) or wheeled toy on roads or road areas.

Wheeled toys include a child’s pedal car, scooter or tricycle or a similar toy, but only when it is being used by a child who is under the age of 12 years.

All safety helmets must be worn when riding on a road or road-related area.

� ere is no law that requires a safety helmet to be worn on private land and it cannot be policed at residential proper-ties. However, it is best practice to encour-age your child to wear a helmet at all times as accidents can also happen at home.

� e safety helmet must comply with regulations and must be properly adjust-ed and securely fastened to fi t the rider correctly. � is will ensure that the head is protected in the event of a fall or collision.

A parent or guardian of a child under the age of 16 years must not allow a child to ride or be carried on a wheeled recre-ational device or wheeled toy unless the child is wearing a safety helmet.

SA Police wishes to advice that failure to comply with these rules can result in fi nes varying from $113 to $156. � is includes the Victims of Crime Levy.

For more information, contact the Roxby Downs Police Station on 8671 4200.

Exhibition Dates: 24th July – 30th August 2015Closing date for entry: Friday, 17th July 2015

Delivery Dates: Works must be delivered to the Roxby Downs roxbylink Art Gallery on Wednesday, 22nd July 2015 – or by prior arrangement.

Entry forms are available fromthe Visitor Information Centre and Roxby Council.

The Roxby Downs Wildlife Hotline is an important component of the Roxby Downs Environment Forum and has been operating

since 2013. Volunteers of the Wildlife Hotline have attended

over 50 callouts since it has been in operation, ensur-ing that our local wildlife and the residents of Roxby Downs remain safe.

The Roxby Downs Wildlife Hotline is looking for more volunteers to assist with attending snake callouts during the upcoming summer season.

Volunteers will be trained in venomous snake han-dling by a qualifi ed wildlife and training consultant when they come to Roxby Downs in August.

� e training will cover the theoretical and practical components of how to handle and remove venomous snakes safely.

Interested volunteers are required to complete an expression of interest form, which can be collected from the Roxby Council offi ce or downloaded online (www.roxbydowns.com/Community/c-home.html).

� e expression of interest form needs to be com-pleted by Friday, July 17, and can be returned to the Roxby Council offi ce or emailed to: [email protected]

� e Roxby Downs Environment Forum would like to thank BHP Billiton for providing funding through its Community Donations program to continue the success of the Roxby Downs Wildlife Hotline.

� e Environment Forum would also like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to all of the volunteers that have been involved in the Wildlife Hotline thus far.

CURRENT LEADER

The fi rst Far North Football League home game on Saturday saw the undefeated reigning premiers Roxby

Districts take on the rapidly improving East Roxby Roos on a cool but sunny day.

Both teams had a few key players out, so it was shaping up to be an intriguing tussle.

� e Roos bullocked their way into the breeze to kick two unanswered goals and take an early lead.

Miners Cup player Ben Hampel led the way for Roxby Districts by taking a strong mark, playing out of position at full forward, and goaling truly to settle the side.

� is was followed quickly by another goal as the Miners started to click into gear, and it was starting to look like the early burst from the Roos had run out of puff .

However, East Roxby was not fi nished by a long shot. � e Roos grimly ramped up their intensity and kicked a goal against the run of play.

It went goal for goal for the rest of the quarter, with the Miners having a one-goal lead at the break.

� e second quarter started off much like the fi rst, with the Roos jumping the Min-ers and kicking the fi rst three goals of the quarter.

East Roxby midfi elders Clayton Millard and Matthew Schipper were starting to cause some real headaches for Roxby Dis-tricts, and the move of Atticus Dekuyer into the engine room was a master stroke from the Roos’ coaching team.

Dekuyer’s physical presence around the ball allowed his smaller teammates to get a clean run at the football.

� e Miners were struggling to get their running game going, and it was only the calm, unhurried work of James Telfer that kept them in the game.

� e Roos, however, dominated the quar-ter to secure a two-goal lead at the long break.

There was an air of anticipation around the ground at the start of the third quar-ter, with the Roos playing great football but all knowing that the Miners are third quarter specialists and were not to be written off.

� at is how it started, with Roxby stars Josh Sheppard and Jordan Christall both goaling to regain the lead for the Miners.

� e Roos again responded to this chal-lenge through their midfi eld, running hard and kicking the next four goals to almost set up a match-winning lead late in the quarter.

� ey eased off a little, and the Miners banged on two goals to narrow the Roos’

lead at three quarter time to 10 points and set up a titanic fi nal quarter.

� e reigning premiers came out full of fi re as they were seriously being challenged for the fi rst time this year, and the Roos were equally fi red up and hungry for a win.

� e quarter was a dour aff air, with Roxby throwing everything they could at the Roos, who were defending desperately but start-ing to fl ag at the same time.

� e pressure was intense, and both teams were starting to make mistakes as they grew tired.

� e Miners took two goals to even the score, and with what seemed like a minute or two to go, Jordan Mandemaker marked at centre half forward and kicked a bril-liant long goal to put Roxby in the lead and seemingly break the Roos’ hearts.

However, East Roxby showed their cour-age to lift for one last time. Big centre half back Bradley Dodman ran into the forward lines in a last ditch eff ort and took a mark at centre half forward.

As he went to play on, a Miners football-er ran across the mark before the umpire called play on.

� is gave Dodman a 50m penalty and a shot for goal from 20m out. He kicked tru-ly to even up the scores with only seconds remaining.

� e centre bounce was a nervous aff air, with a lot of players around the ball.

However, Schipper somehow managed to get free from the congestion and slammed the ball on his boot to kick a point.

� e siren went a few seconds later to give last year’s wooden spooners an epic one-point win over the reigning premiers and a signal to the rest of the competition that the Roos are real contenders.

Best for the Roos included Dekuyer with his lion-hearted eff ort in the middle. He was ably supported by Millard, Dale King, Bowde Kelly and Schipper. Todd Paull and Troy Moulders both scored four goals for the Roos.

Best for the Miners was the ever-reliable Cody Kenny, followed by Telfer, Craig Hall, Sheppard and Christopher Barry. A number of Miners got a couple of goals each, these being Dylan Reese, Sheppard, Victor Buza and Christall.

Olympic Dam d Coober Pedy

In the second match of the day, second-placed Olympic Dam Devils took on an undermanned Coober Pedy Saints.

While Coober Pedy was unable to fi eld its best side, players came out full of en-thusiasm and included a number of juniors

who kept up their energy all game.� e game started in a lively fashion, with

OD looking more composed and having more of the ball but being unable to do much because the Saints were chasing hard, defending well and pressuring the Devils into making errors.

When they managed to get free, the Saints looked dangerous and moved the ball quickly but were unable to deliver the ball cleanly to their forwards.

� e Devils took a few marks inside 50, but then missed set shots that they should have made easily, given that it was such a good day for football.

About halfway through the fi rst quar-ter a very strong tackle by OD on Kingsley Brown resulted in him sustaining a concus-sion when his head hit the ground.

� e game was held up while he was treat-ed and taken off by an ambulance.

Full marks are owed to the trainers from OD and Roxby Districts for helping Brown until the ambulance arrived.

The girls did a great job and showed strong community spirit in helping out a fallen footballer.

The game resumed soon after and it looked like the injury broke Coober Pedy’s concentration, because the Devils banged on two goals before the end of the quarter to take a lead by the same amount.

� e game was shortened because of the injury, and the Devils took control of the game from that point.

While they were more polished and had a lot of the ball, they had to work hard for every goal because Coober Pedy, in spite of being rattled and suff ering a few more injuries, never stopped trying and pressured the Devils at every opportunity.

� e Devils were never really challenged after the fi rst quarter and ran out comfort-able winners by 15 goals to cement their position at second on the ladder.

Best for OD was Ryan Konopka with his four goals, along with Jack Barker and Jon-athon Veale with their three-goal hauls and Nicholas Howard and Tyson Hornhardht.

Best for Coober Pedy was Michael Bee-litz, who never stopped trying all day, and Dylan Warren, Kerry Roderick, Wayne Chamberlain and Michael Brown.

Special mention must also go to Coober Pedy junior footballer Steven Murray, w ho showed some fl ashes of brilliance and is shaping up for a great future with the club.

It was also good to see that Kingsley Brown was discharged from the Roxby Medical Centre the following day without any serious injury.
