BHP nukes dump idea

WRITTEN BY PATRICK GLOVER

HP Billiton Olympic Dam has indicated that it is uninterested in any offer to construct a high-level nuclear waste dump near its mine site.

Premier Jay Weatherill last week released the findings of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission, which strongly recommended that a waste repository be constructed somewhere in South Australia. InDaily last week revealed that Olympic Dam had been mentioned in informal talks within the State Government as a potential location. However, a BHP Billiton spokesperson told The Monitor the company was yet to receive any official requests. “BHP Billiton has a long history in South Australia and is proud of its contribution to the local, regional and state economy,” the spokesperson said. “The Olympic Dam copper mine produces uranium, gold and silver as by-products and is

a core part of BHP Billiton’s portfolio. “While we have a strong track record in managing health, safety and environment risks – including in relation to uranium extraction, transport, and waste management – our focus is firmly on ensuring we are a globally competitive mining operation. “Olympic Dam is not on the shortlist of identified sites for a national waste repository for low and intermediate level waste, and we expect this process to run its course. “To date, we are yet to receive any requests from the State Government.” BHP Billiton gave its strongest hint that it was against the possibility of the construction in its submission document to the Royal Commission. “Irrespective of whether storage or disposal is preferred, BHP Billiton considers that either option would be inconsistent with our core business of mining and the production of highquality copper and associated by-products at Olympic Dam,” the document stated. The mining giant has been actively involved in the Royal Commission process by making submissions, taking delegates on tours of site

and having asset president Jacqui McGill appear at a Royal Commission public hearing. “The Commission provided an opportunity to present the facts, as well as the economic and social opportunities, of the nuclear fuel cycle,” the BHP Billiton Olympic Dam spokesperson said. “It also enabled the South Australian community to make informed decisions about the role of the nuclear industry in the state’s economic future. “BHP Billiton was pleased to make a submission, which included recommendations on reforms we believe will reduce barriers to entry to extraction and exploration of nuclear materials. “These include reduction of regulatory complexity and duplication, as well as better platforms for information sharing.” The spokesperson said the company welcomed the Royal Commission’s findings as it was an important process for the State Government to undertake. They said BHP Billiton looked forward to participating in any further discussions about issues raised in the future.

Premier Jay Weatherill was unavailable for comment before The Monitor went to print on Monday, but was quoted as telling InDaily that a nuclear dump site would be more likely to be built in more remote areas in the north of the state. Meanwhile The Monitor’s Facebook poll regarding the idea of Olympic Dam hosting a nuclear dump site attracted 14 votes last week. Opinions were split down the middle, with seven votes each given for and against the proposal. Among those voting in favour of the concept, one said: “Why not make some (money) from something we’re good at?” “Better than Flinders Ranges, and there should be some people left that know about radiation,” said another.

Council administrator ‘on leave’

WRITTEN BY PATRICK GLOVER

oxby Council administrator Bill Boehm has taken personal leave from his position. When The Monitor went to print

on Monday, it was understood Mr Boehm had sought leave “for the short term” but the exact timeframe was yet to be confirmed. A council spokesperson claimed the decision was made in discussion with the State Government. In the meantime, Geoff Whit-

bread has been appointed as acting administrator and started in his position last week. “Mr Whitbread’s priority is to familiarise himself with the operations of the Council and its ongoing initiatives,” a Department of State Development spokeswoman told The Monitor.

“Initiatives such as the public consultation of the Draft Sport and Recreation Master Plan and the upcoming consultation to develop the council’s draft 2016/17 Business Plan. “As part of that familiarisation process he intends to make arrangements as soon as possible to

meet with community groups and other local stakeholders in Roxby Downs.” Mr Whitbread has been a chief executive officer in both the private and public sectors and has 25 years’ experience in local government – including six months as CEO of the City of Marion.

Held during Oaks Day at Morphettville Racecourse, the event included a fashion parade and luncheon in the Moet and Chandon Pavilion. While Ms Williams missed out on the top prize of a holiday to Asia, she said she had enjoyed being part of the competition. “It was a great day, a nice sit-down luncheon and there were lots of great ladies to meet,” she said. “Ever yone lo oke d amazing – you can just tell there’s so much effort and thought going into everyone’s outfit. “It was definitely a tough competition.” Ms Williams wore a

white dress and cape jacket with a black bag and a deep red fascinator, shoes and gloves. Her outfit was purchased online (mainly ASOS) apart from her shoes, which she bought in Adelaide. “I just kind of pieced it together,” she said. Ms Williams sought out a horse-shaped bag to add a whimsical touch to her entry. “I’d seen people with them on the racing circuit before,” she said. Ms Williams also chose a cape jacket to reflect the popularity of the trend. With this year’s Outback Cup coming up in August, she advised any locals interested in entering the Fashions at the Races competition to dress for the season they will be in. “Even though we’re in a warmer climate, it’s still technically winter, so you have to follow the racing guidelines,” she added.

Community Board restructure sees new members join up WRITTEN BY PATRICK GLOVER

orum members will have a bigger part to play in the Roxby Downs Community Board following a restructure that came into effect last week.

The Community Board is now made up of a representative and proxy from each of its 10 forums. This replaces the previous approach of the board choosing new members from the community at large. “The 10th anniversary of the board last year acted as a catalyst to review the board’s operations and look at ways to make improvements,” said Community Board member Michelle Hales. “This process involved gathering feedback from all the forums. The key message received was that the forums wanted to feel more connected to the Community Board as the governing body. “With this in mind, the board decided to change the way it recruited new members.

“This new system means that their forum will always be represented at the board meeting, and has removed the previous problems the board had in reaching a quorum at some meetings. “The new system also strengthens communication between the board and the forums.” The restructured Community Board of six new and four existing members held its first meeting last week. “This is the beginning of a new era, with many prospects for new ideas to be explored and developed,” Ms Hales said. “The Community Board would like to take this opportunity to thank the board members who have retired for their contributions over many years – George Giakoumis, Gaylene Crane, Mary Lewis and Cherie Gaskin,” Ms Hales said. “They played a key role in planning for these changes. “(Also) the board would not exist without the involvement of over 100 volunteers. “We wish to thank them for their ongoing dedication, enthusiasm and support for our community.”

Planning begins for natural play space WRITTEN BY PATRICK GLOVER

Programmed Property Services’ Martin Crabb (second from left) with students Nathan, Lucy, Alex, Tariro, Jordan and Georgie. PHOTO: Patrick Glover

t Barbara’s Parish School is a step closer to a new natural play space.

Staff, students and board members were presented with concepts for the project by an Adelaide-based company last week. Programmed Property Services’ Martin Crabb visited the school last Wednesday to put forward his ideas for the play space. Some of the proposals included obscure play equipment to enhance students’ problem solving abilities, along with a nature theme using objects that encourage creative thinking. The addition of plants and cultural paths was also discussed to help the children with their learning of particular topics. Mr Crabb spent the afternoon visiting all classes, talking to them about the concepts, environment and getting their ideas on what they wanted the natural play space to look like. “I ran workshops with the kids on how to look after the environment, but I also

brought things they could touch and feel,” Mr Crabb said. “The whole thing about the plants and bringing these items was to stimulate the senses. “The workshops were also interesting to hear the kids’ ideas. “It is important they have a voice because it is their space. “If the kids have a voice and we listen to what they are thinking and implement some of their ideas, they can go ‘that was my idea’ and be proud of what has been created.” Mr Crabb said his plans were all about getting students outside in light of a recent trend of children spending more time indoors on video games and in front of the television. “It is all about getting the kids outdoors and making sure it is fun and interactive,” he said. Mr Crabb said he was more than happy to get the process started by presenting these ideas to the school, but would eventually hand over the project to local contractors to complete the implementation of the plans. He said St Barbara’s Parish School teachers had been excited about the prospect of the new natural play space and were thrilled to hear his ideas.

Students take Identities on display at OD Airport S NAPLAN tests S

t Barbara’s Parish S c h o o l s t u d e nt s participated in National A ss e ssment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPL AN) examinations last week.

They were hoping to repeat their previous success after managing an above-average gain between the 2013 and 2015 tests. In particular students moving from year three to year five showed substantial improvements in the numeracy test. St Barbara’s was recently informed of this development, which will see it included on the Catholic Education Office’s list of schools

to have achieved this. Principal Bernadette Lacey said she was hopeful her students could continue on with this success. “The students have thoroughly enjoyed this year’s NAPLAN testing so far,” she said last Wednesday. “Hopefully they can continue to produce outstanding results as we have consistently seen throughout the years of testing.” Catholic Education South Australia director Helen O’Brien passed on her congratulations to the school for its efforts.

School celebrates Catholic Education Week this month

t Barbara’s Parish S cho ol staff and students are undertaking a number of activities as a way of celebrating Catholic Education Week.

Liturgies, plays, raffles and a ‘switch off ’ – which involves the whole school turning the power off for a number of hours – are just some of the events students will get the chance to take part in this week. This is the third year St Barbara’s has celebrated the week, and they will be joined by the Adelaide Diocese for the first time. The week gives the dioceses a chance to share what happens in Catholic schools with the wider community.

It is also a time to pause and give thanks for the efforts of the numerous helpers who enrich them. “It allows us to get every child together, celebrate their faith and acknowledge what makes them unique,” said St Barbara’s principal Bernadette Lacey. “During the week we celebrate our Catholic heritage and education.” Meanwhile Catholic Education Week officially kicked off last Friday with a dinner in Port Pirie recognising particular people for their services to the diocese. Mrs Lacey was recognised on the night for her 25 years of service. BY PATRICK GLOVER

The self-identity art pieces created by each student currently hang on the dividers around the old scanning area in the departure lounge. The students have worked on their artwork since the beginning of last term, with each looking at an inspirational family member, revolutionary Christians, the Australian federation and world issues as part of the picture. “The kids have all worked really hard on their self-image drawings,” said teacher Sophie Reid. Student Jett Giles said he and his classmates had enjoyed working on their projects, while Lucy Moten said it was exciting to be able to see her work on the walls of the airport. Lucy said the airport was a fitting place to display the class’s artwork, with the topic of identity and selfimage displayed on a regular basis in airports everywhere. “The Olympic Dam Airport was all for it – it is an awesome way to get the artwork out where the community can see it,” Ms Reid added.

Cultures converge for reconciliation WRITTEN BY PATRICK GLOVER

he Roxby Downs community w i l l h av e t h e opportunity to learn about and engage with Australia’s indigenous culture when the town celebrates Reconciliation Week this month.

A number of events will be held next week to get the community involved – including a movie screening, art exhibition and a familyfriendly evening. “It is quite exciting – there is quite a lot on,” said NAIDOC planning committee member Anni Walsh. “The Roxby Downs community is so diverse with its cultures, so it will be a great opportunity for community members to learn and engage with the Aboriginal culture. “They can try different food, learn how to weave or try creating some artwork – it is all about bridging the gap.” The Give up smokes for good portrait exhibition

is already on display in the roxbylink art gallery, while indigenous artwork is set to feature in the library corridor. An official opening for both will be held on Wednesday before a screening of the Bungarra Dance Company’s Spear in the roxbylink cinema at 7pm. The feature film will appear alongside other locally made short films as part of the Black Screen event. ‘Bush tucker’ including kangaroo pies and quandong will also be available to try on the night. Kokatha man Peter Burgoyne will make a Sorry Day presentation at the Roxby Downs Health Service on Thursday, May 26. The event will allow community members to gain a greater understanding of indigenous culture and history. “The message of Reconciliation Week is to build on respectful relationships shared by Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders and other Australians, which works in perfectly with

Sorry Day,” Ms Walsh said. Locals are then encouraged to attend the Reconciliation Roxby Style family-friendly event at the Community Youth Centre on Thursday, June 2. “There will be lots of different activities to do, so I encourage everyone to bring their families down,” Ms Walsh said. The day will include live music, bush tucker and arts and crafts. Meanwhile NAIDOC Week celebrations will also be held again this year from July 3-10 but without the usual main street festival.

Locals to become ‘digital citizens’

oxby Downs is set to be the first town to have the entire community signed up to a ‘digital citizenship’ agreement.

The agreement will outline how people should behave while on online and encourages people to use the internet safely and in the correct manner. While the official launch will take place in October, a group of community members have already set about signing up fellow locals to the initiative. The digital citizenship agreement is an idea to come out of the Mining Minds program in conjunction with local schools. Co-ordinator Angela Thompson said she was hoping to get a wide range of the community on board. The schools in the area, including Woomera and Andamooka along with local businesses, sporting clubs, community groups and individuals, would all be encouraged to come on board. “I have done some research and as far as I can see there is no other town that has taken up the agreement as a whole town,” Ms Thompson said. “There are some big sporting clubs, schools and councils that have done it individually but not collectively as a town.” Ms Thompson said the digital citizenship agreement would be particularly important in this area with the community’s high reliance on the internet to keep up to date with the outside world. It would also be beneficial to help users on groups like ‘Roxby Rave AND Rant’ and ‘Roxby IDLE CHIT CHAT’. A number of guest speakers have visited Roxby Downs in the past 12 months, including Cyber Safety Solutions’ Susan McLean, who said 70 per cent of local children were using inappropriate websites. Ms Thompson said the parents as well as the children needed to come on board with the agreement to prevent statistics like this. She said a number of community members and groups had signed on already, with the Roxby Downs Community Board’s forums leading the way by signalling their early interest in the agreement. Once the group has a majority of the community signed on, it will launch the initiative in October. Ms McLean is currently working on getting the Cyber Safety Commissioner to attend the launch. Local children will also be involved in the lead-up to the launch, with the design of the logo set to be decided with a competition. Once the logo has been agreed upon, stickers, bands and other material will be designed as a way of promoting the message the agreement aims to get across.

New house purchases up

ustralian Bureau of Statistics housing finance figures released last week show that lending to owner/occupiers buying new homes is well up on last year in South Australia.

“This is great news for the residential building industry in South Australia as the industry has been languishing in recent times. “The lift in lending for new housing augurs well for growth in work on the ground later in the year and for employment. “The growth in lending for established homes also heralds a return to confidence among the home-buying public.” South Australia led the pack in growth in lending for new homes, being ahead of every other state.

“Lending for new home building is up 12.7 per cent in the March quarter 2016 compared with last year, according to (the) ABS figures,” said Housing Industry Association executive director for SA Brenton Gardner. “Lending for established homes was also up by five per cent over the same period.

The number of loans to owner/occupiers constructing or purchasing new homes in the March 2016 quarter was higher than in the March 2015 quarter in five of the eight states and territories: New South Wales (+7.6 per cent), Victoria (+3.7 per cent) and South Australia (+12.7 per cent). Elsewhere, there were declines over this period: Queensland (-0.9 per cent), Western Australia (-23.5 per cent) and Tasmania (-31.3Roxby per cent). Downs Office ! Coober Pedy Office !

Kindy literacy in the bag

s part of an annual program, Roxby Council has donated library bags to Roxby Downs Kindergarten.

The bags are decorated and personalised by the children for use during their weekly visits to the Community Library. The library visits focus on in-

troducing the library setting and giving children an opportunity to become comfortable with staff. The visits promote literacy skills, language development and a love of books. “It’s always nice to see the children so eager to come and see us,” said Sarah Powell, Team Leader –

• Chelsea James

Library Services. “We hope the children bring their families back to the library to show them what they have learnt.” The Kindergarten children have been visiting the library since the beginning of the year and now in Term 2 have progressed to borrowing books.

Chelsea’s undertaking a traineeship at Council

hanks to the State Government’s Regional Youth Traineeship Program, Roxby Council is hosting local Chelsea James while she completes a traineeship in Business Administration.

Chelsea, 22, has lived in Roxby Downs for 13 years and is four months into the program. “Everyone has been really nice and it’s good to put myself out there as I’m normally very shy,” said Chelsea. “I’ve been involved in many areas of Council so far including Finance, Works, Customer Service and I get to be a part of the Splash Pad project, which is exciting”.

Defence makes all the difference in Rd 3 However, the Roos were unable to get the ball into their goal circle often enough for this to prevent OD taking the lead at half-time, 17-12. With both sides still settling their teams, a number of position changes were made during the break. The third quarter saw the passing tighten up, with the Devils using their bodies more in the centre third. OD also paced itself around its goal circle to allow time for the right passing opportunity to present itself. The Devils improved their defensive pressure around East Roxby’s goal circle, but the Roos were getting around it to reduce OD’s lead to seven goals, 32-25, at the final break. OD goal shooter Tahlia Glover helped bring things home for the Devils in the fourth quarter, with the ball coming her way thanks to her teammates taking advantage of the poor passing decisions being made by the Roos. The second A grade match of the night saw the Miners defeat Hornridge, 69-28, in what was an entertaining contest despite being a fairly one-sided affair. Hornridge applied strong defensive pressure in their opponent’s goal circle but the Miners were unfazed, with goal attack Cassie Weir shooting well to see her side to a fourpoint lead, 11-7.

trong defence around the goal circles made all the difference during round three of the Roxby Downs Netball Association’s A grade competition on Friday night.

The first game saw East Roxby take on Olympic Dam in what started off as a close contest but ended with the Devils defeating the Roos by 15 goals, 40-25. Both sides exhibited short, fast and strategic passing to bring the score to six-all at the first break. In the second quarter, Nicole Montgomerie (OD goal attack) secured the first goal and was the main contributor to her side’s tally before half-time. East Roxby defended its opponent’s goal third well but needed to slow things down when passing into its own goal circle. The pressure was getting to both teams as passing became less accurate, with centres Beth Elliott (OD) and Kelly Harris (East Roxby) capitalising well on conversion opportunities. Jess Hassett (East Roxby goal attack) was managing goals despite significant clearances and pressure from OD goal keeper Ali Knights.

ers) was a late but welcome arrival in the second quarter, when she made her role look easy despite the efforts of goal keeper Bonnie Harman (Hornridge). Hornridge failed to feed the ball into its goal circle as well as it could have, with a number of difficult passes made to goal attack Millie Clarke. However, Clarke did well to receive the ball from whatever angle it came at her before getting it into the ring most of the time. Goal shooter Ruby Haeta (Hornridge) started to find her feet in the second quarter but was struggling to get close enough to the ring to be effective. The Miners had reached an 18goal lead at half-time, 32-14. Hornridge’s Christina Gutteridge was put on as goal keeper so that Harman could back up Haeta – who continued to improve in goals – while Clarke took a quarter off. Gutteridge stretched and jumped as much as she could around Takaidza, and even managed a couple of intercepts in front of her, but the goals kept rolling on for the Miners. Hannah Wurfel (Miners centre) excelled with providing defensive pressure in the centre third, along with delivering long passes accurately and receiving the ball around the goal circle.

Her teammate Kelsey Hampel (wing attack) helped the ball down the court by being available for passes and getting them to the next player quickly and effectively. Going into the final break, the Miners had powered ahead to gain a 27-point lead, 48-21. Harman maintained her focus as goal shooter despite pressure from Miners goal keeper Sally Fuller, while Haeta also continued to shoot well for Hornridge. The Miners proved too strong, though, with quick and effective passing decisions ensuring that the ball stayed with them. This week will see OD play against Hornridge before East Roxby takes on the Miners. In the B grade competition, the Miners had a similar impact to their A grade counterparts with their defeat of Hornridge, 40-18. Hornridge goal shooter Alicia Lee and goal attack Ellie Siegert managed only five goals between them in the first quarter. Miners goal shooter Ashlie Ali and goal attack Hayley Wurfel tacked on 12 for their side to bring the score to 12-5 in the first break. The lead grew to nine goals by half-time, 21-12, before reaching 14 in the third quarter, 29-15, and ultimately 22 by the end of the game. In the later B grade match, East

Roxby went down to Olympic Dam by 30 goals, 26-56. Karen Wegner (goal shooter) and Mel Emery (goal attack) did their best for the Roos, while on the other side of the court was OD goal shooter Sam Corneliusen and goal attack Madison Evans helping their side win the first quarter, 13-7. Anna Gubbin stepped into goal attack for OD for the rest of the game, with the change seeing the Devils reach a 12-goal lead at half-time, 25-13. This increased to 21 goals by the final break, 40-19, and continued to grow in the fourth quarter. East Roxby will take on Miners this Friday before OD plays against Hornridge in round four of the B grade competition. One of the first C grade games set for Friday night had to be cancelled after Miners White was forced to forfeit in light of a lack of numbers. The other 6.30pm match saw OD Green defeat East Roxby, 70-19. In the 8pm game, Hornridge Pink defeated East Roxby, 48-25, in a game that was always going Hornridge’s way. This week’s matches will see the first interclub clashes of the season when OD Yellow faces off against OD Green, Hornridge Pink takes on Hornridge Black and Miners White plays against Miners Red.

Taj takes out ﬁrst round

WRITTEN BY PATRICK GLOVER

ocal rider Taj Gow-Smith has started the South Australian Motocross Championship in fine form by claiming victories in both of his junior classes in round one on Saturday.

Taj scored wins in each of the three rounds to take the 65cc 10 to under 12 years title, while his two firsts and a second secured him a victory in the 85cc small wheel class for nine to under 12 years. His Yamaha Junior Racing team coach Shane Metcalfe said he was impressed with Taj’s efforts on the weekend and was looking for more

of the same in the coming rounds. “Taj rode awesome this weekend,” he said. “He has moved to a new level, which is very exciting for his season ahead. “I was very happy with his riding and we look forward to the rest of the series.” Taj said he came into the race feeling well prepared after a hard pre-season, but added that the nerves leading up to the heats were still there to be overcome. “I rode smooth and consistent on the day and I am very happy with my results,” he told The Monitor. “I would like to thank my local sponsors Roxby Fabrication &

Engineering, Australian Supply Group, The Monitor Newspaper and MAITS for all their support. “I would also like to thank Yamaha Junior Racing, FOX, Yamalube, GYTR, Y-Aim, Dragon, SPMX, Rapid MX, Dunlop, EMAR, Energy Logistics, Adelaide Motorcycle Recovery and Coast Yamaha. “I wouldn’t be able to get this far without all their help.” Taj heads into round two of the state titles with a 13-point lead in the overall standings of his 65cc category while also holding a fivepoint lead over his nearest competitor in his 85cc category. Taj was joined by four other local junior riders – Bailey Anderson, Ben Dixon and Aiden

and Jackson Way – on Saturday to give the Roxby Desert Motocross Club one of its strongest representations at a state championship meet. Bailey competed against Taj in the 85cc small wheel nine to under 12 years class, for which he placed 23rd. Ben came 14th in the 65cc seven to under nine years category, while Aiden Way finished 16th and Jackson 19th in the 50cc auto division two seven to under nine years competition. Roxby Downs senior riders were also out in force at the SA Motocross Championship, with three riders representing the local club on Sunday.

Zac Bradbery and Trent Smits put in solid rides to be sitting second in the Motocross 2 Intermediate and Motocross 1 Clubman classes respectively. Both riders sit less than 10 points adrift of the leader in the overall standings in their classes. After taking out last year’s Veterans B category, Andrew Swanson made the step up to Veterans A thi sseason. He finished 12th overall on the weekend, leaving him 32 points off the leader in the overall standings. The second round of the SA Motocross Championship will take place at Renmark on June 4-5.
