Mission Accomplished Mark and Rachel Young's Wedge-Tailed Eagle sculpture has landed at the Arid Recovery site
Civil charges still may be laid The father of a man killed in an underground explosion at the Olympic Dam mine last year said he would consider seeking civil charges against BHP Billiton. The company had recently been charged with three counts of breaching the Occupational Health and Safety and Welfare Act following the death of Roxby Downs resident Karl Eibl. “We’re thinking about laying civil charges against the company and if we win the case we’ll use the money to go after the people responsible,”
Bob Eibl said. Bob Eibl said the fines which BHP Billiton faces were like ‘a cup of coffee’ to the company and he thought the managers of the mine should be charged with criminal negligence. The company faced fines up to $300,000 if found guilty. “It felt pretty good to see charges filed against the company but the charges look like they will amount to only small fines. “I believe one of the guys involved can’t go back underground. This incident ruined a lot of
lives, not just my son's,” he said. Mr Eibl senior said he was distressed by the lack of information and co-operation from both SafeWorkSA and BHP Billiton following his son’s death. In an attempt to obtain more information Mr Eibl lodged a Freedom of Information request with SafeWork SA to get a copy of the report into the incident. “We feel terrible, absolutely shocking because we’ve been told virtually nothing by BHP Billiton or SafeWorkSA,” he said.
A S a f e Wo r k S A spokeswoman said it was procedure not to issue findings when legal action was pending. “If there is no proposed legal action after an investigation is completed, the family is given the factual report on request,” she said. It has been nearly a year since the accident and Mr Eibl has only just received the coroner’s report, according to an article in The Advertiser on Wednesday, May 31. The Coronial investigation mentioned in The Advertiser ’s article stated Karl Eibl

The Advertiser article stated mine management told the Eibl family there was supposed to be a safe distance of 40metres between Mr Eibl and the men drilling – a miscalculation meant there was only a distance of about two metres. Mr Eibl said his attempts to investigate safety within the mine had been frustrated. “We wanted to put a post-graduate PhD student into the Olympic Dam mine to investigate
Mission accomplished was the resounding message following an Arid Recovery working bee on Sunday, May 28. More than 30 volunteers came along to do maintenance work at the site and complete a number of projects, including mounting a magnificent Wedge Tailed Eagle sculpture at the front entrance. Other works included replacing sand which had shifted at the hide – a shelter used at dusk to observe nocturnal mammals like bettongs and hopping mice eating at dusk. Sand was also replaced over the tunnel entrances to the viewing boxes alongside the hide. A conveyor belt used to stop bilbies digging into control sites was shifted onto a dune bordering the second expansion control site where the previous belt had deteriorated. Arid Recovery media officer Chris Schultz said moving the belts was a difficult task. “It’s important to keep the reintroduced animals out of the second expansion control site.

Ray Goldie presents Vicki Hamblin with her ‘Sands of Gallipoli’ medals outside The Monitor’s offices.
A VERY BIG THANKYOU TO THE MONITOR
I am so grateful to the Monitor Newspaper for giving me the opportunity and good fortune to win the SANDS OF GALLIPOLI LIMITED EDITION MEDALS. I will cherish these medals always. After living in New Zealand and managing a Returned Servicemen’s Association Club, with five members who were prisoners’ of war, it really was an eye opener, this made me appreciate and respect these people who put their lives on the line, risking all to protect us. Some of the stories which we were told, seemed too unbelievable to be true, unfortunately we saw pictures, which supported their tales. Another man told the story of running away from an orphanage in Tasmania at the age of fifteen and lying about
his age so he could join the army. Unfortunately, most of these stories don’t have happy endings – hence, this fine gentleman suffered from war neurosis and passed away at age fifty. These service personnel are a special breed of people and need to be acknowledged for their outstanding dedication to protecting Australia and New Zealand, not just in Gallipoli, but also in all wars. I also think it is wonderful that the Vietnam Veterans are finally getting the recognition they deserve. THANKYOU! You makes us Proud and may God Bless you All Yours sincerely, Vicki L Hamblin A PROUD AUSTRALIAN

Mission Accomplished
Sheer driving pleasure
FROM FRONT PAGE to move the rolls, but with a few strong guys we got there in the end,” he said. Fence checks and maintenance were also completed on the Red Lake Expansion fence. Mr Schultz said the fence was the primary defence against feral animals but was often damaged by kangaroos, however volunteers checked and repaired all damage to it on Sunday. A popular project was the mounting of the Wedge-tailed Eagle sculpture at the entrance to Arid Recovery. The sculpture was built and
donated to Arid Recovery by Mark and Rachel Young and was previously displayed at the Outback Fringe Festival in Roxby Downs. After some careful manoeuvring, the eagle structure and mounting pole were cemented in place looking out over Arid Recovery’s gate onto the Borefield Road. “Arid Recovery are extremely grateful to Mark and Rachel for this sculpture, and it looks really great being there to greet you when you drive into the reserve,” Mr Schultz said. “It was extremely pleasing that we were able to achieve all of the
goals we set for the working bee and the participation by the Friends of Arid Recovery members was greatly appreciated,” he said. To reward their hard work, volunteers were treated to a sausage sizzle for lunch. More information on Arid Recovery and volunteering could be found by contacting 8671 8282, visiting the website at www. aridrecovery.org.au or by emailing arid.recovery@bhpbilliton.com or visiting the Arid Recovery display on market days. New members were always welcome.

Board encourages you to Rattle the Cages We live in a society that values freedom of speech. At many levels individuals and groups are vigorously encouraged to speak up in order to support , endorse or challenge the policies, actions or comments of others. The greatest challenge is to encourage people to actually use the right channels and platforms so that their voices can be heard. This is not restricted to any particular place, or organisation it is universal across the nation. Many of us say we want to be heard but the truth is most of us don’t know, or are not sure, of how to go about it. If you are someone who thinks your opinion is not being listened to or worse still you think you are being locked out of the debate on important community issues The Monitor has investigated all of the options available.

Giving something back Not-for-profit community organisations in Roxby Downs are set to gain from a recently announced BHP Billiton initiative. The Matched Giving Program rewards organisations where employees volunteer their time; with every employee potentially worth $25,000 a year. Employees must record the number of hours worked for any eligible organisation and report them to BHP Billiton, which then donates money to the organisation equal to $10 per hour. A recent example of the program in action was the Arid Recovery working bee on Sunday, May 28 where nearly one third of the volunteers were BHP Billiton staff. Arid Recovery volunteer Bec Gotch said it was excellent to see BHP Billiton helping the community. “It was wonderful to see so many BHP Billiton staff coming out and volunteering at the
working bee we had. We all thought it was incredible to hear the company would support local groups like this,” she said. “We were all thinking ‘wow, this is fantastic for Arid Recovery’. We think it will be huge for the organisation,” Bec said. BHP Billiton first began the Matched Giving Program in 2002 and is now rolling it out across all of its operations. “The Matched Giving Program is one of the programs that we have, as part of this commitment, and the great thing about it is that it allows our employees to influence how BHP Billiton makes donations,” said Vice President Health, Safety, Environment and Community (HSEC) Olympic Dam, Alison Hartman. “The program is not restricted to charities – almost any not-forprofit community organisation that operates for the benefit of the whole community will be eligible,” she said. Conditions do apply -
organisations must be validated with Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), which administers the ‘matching’ on behalf of BHP Billiton. Organisations need to provide administration details as well as a copy of their constitution to CAF for consideration. There are ineligibilities - donations to political organisations or individuals; groups that discriminate based on race, gender, beliefs, class or cultural considerations; religious organisations; adult sporting clubs (unless it is for junior sporting activities); and recreation and leisure activities are ineligible. To find out more about the program – including how not-forprofit organisations can register with CAF, or how employees can claim a match, or for any other information, contact Amanda Hudson in Public Affairs on-site by calling 8671 8361 or emailing amanda.hudson@bhpbilliton.

A good time was had by all at a recent movie and pizza night at the Youth Centre. More than 20 people arrived, including 11 new faces, at the Youth Centre to watch The Cave, Fun with Dick and Jane and Underworld 2 on Saturday, May 20. Roxby Downs Council youth worker Siona Glasson said she was delighted to have some many young people come along to the event. “I was really happy to have more than 20 people at the event and it was really encouraging to see so many new faces,” she said. Miss Glasson said she wanted to thank Amy and Davin Pedler for kindly donating a futon to the centre, especially considering the heavy use it received on the night.

Childcare fence- A work in progress
Dave Watson, Dave Kovac and a member of the SDS Team Review the work so far. It all started with the need for a higher fence. The Roxby Downs Childcare approached the Roxby Downs Council to increase the height of the fence between the childcare centre and the Leisure Centre. Easy enough you would think, measure up, select some complementary materials and fix the new materials to the existing fence. Fortunately both parties had a greater vision and saw both the potential and importance of the site as a potential show piece in a high traffic area. Local artist Dave Kovac was asked to create a design that
would be both functional and aesthetically pleasing . Dave used his imagination to develop a concept for a 7.4 metre fence using 5 millimetre mild steel plate. The steel has literally become Dave’s canvas on which he will use his artistic skills to develop a three dimensional piece of art which doubles as a very practical and safe fence. Local artist Dave Kovac said “This project really has been very fluid and even now in the construction stage the work is still evolving. For me it’s very exciting to work on this project as I’ve never done anything like it before.
I love all the aspects of the work but the most fun is creative and arty farty stuff.” The project will continue while Dave is in Kangaroo Island further developing his skills in bronze casting. Meanwhile Dave’s been collaborating with Mark Chrystal of SDS who will be constructing the frame work ready for the piece to be installed on his return. “The project has been a team effort with input from both Dave Watson and Peter Keller from Roxby Downs Council and Mark and his team at SDS,” said Kovac.
Salvos Blanket appeal It has been a bit colder earlier in Roxby Downs this year. Those nights it slips into the minus degrees cut deep don’t they? Well give a thought to those who live below the poverty line and are homeless or cannot afford to heat their homes. Elke Hall did. “I started to really feel the cold and then I saw an ad on television of a young child asking his dad ‘where are we going to sleep tonight’? It so touched me I picked up the phone and spoke to the Salvation Army and organised a Blanket Run for Roxby

Downs,” Elke said. The appeal has already received a generous donation from the Roxby Motor Inn and is supported by RoxFM and Danzic Freight. Elke is running the appeal from June 12 - 30 and blankets can be dropped at RoxFM, BP Service Station and Blackwoods at anytime. So far Elke has organised the appeal by herself and would be delighted to hear from anybody or any organisation who could offer a few hours of support. Elke can be contacted on 0409 673 125.

ANDAMOOKA YOUTH GROUP SLEEPOVER A HIT The Andamooka Youth Group held a very successful sleepover attended by 55 young people at the Andamooka Community Hall on Saturday, May 27. The night kicked off with a disco, supplied by Laurence “The Entertainer” Duggan, who also provided movies for the night. Following a dance the youth were given a barbecue dinner, which was followed by more music and a screening of the movie ‘The Grinch’. After the movie a dancing competition was held which Nicole Sunners and Jake Duggan won. A prize was also awarded to Nakita Ducornez and Matthew Wilder who were declared the junior winners. Four lucky door prizes were also drawn on the night and the winners were Renee Rohrlach and Michael Patterson (senior), while Amelia Waters and Jacob Feder won the junior prizes. Congratulations to all winners and I hope you enjoy your prizes. A string of movies were shown one after another until 7 am, when a big breakfast was cooked and served to all those who had stayed overnight.

DJ Lawrence THE ENTERTAINER Duggan
Funding for the sleepover was provided by the Youth Advisory Council and the Outback Areas Trust. Another event – likely to involve a disco with dinner supplied - is already being planned and many young people, including Roxby Downs youth, Jake Duggan, said they would gladly return. “I would definitely come back and could even round up some more kids for it,” he said. Another young person who attended the event was Michael Patterson, an Andamooka local. Michael said he thought a few extra supervisors would have been appreciated because some of the younger participants had made a little too much noise for his liking but he still had a great time. “I am also interested in coming to the Youth Group’s sessions on Sunday afternoons at the community hall,” he said. The Youth Group sessions would take place on Sunday afternoons for about three hours and would provide young people with a place to meet, play music and enjoy group entertainment. Andamooka parent and sleepover supervisor, Toni Carter, said the night was successful.
Sharing the load at Dirt Circuit
Community groups are being invited to lend a hand at canteen duties at local dirt circuit events and earn some extra cash. Members of the Rogues Cricket Club volunteered to run the canteen service during the last race meeting – allowing Dirt Circuit members to concentrate on the racing itself. Canteen Manager Wendy McPhee said the Dirt Circuit Club offered to donate $150 to any other club to run the canteen because it had become too difficult to run the canteen in-house. “It was a joint committee decision which we made because we were having too much trouble filling t h e c a n t e e n . We
have to offer food to our patrons but our members want to be out there watching their family members and friends racing,” Wendy said. Six members of the Rogues Cricket Club donated their time to help out the Dirt Circuit club and received a small donation for their time and effort. Both clubs enjoyed the benefits. Dirt Circuit members could watch family and friends race and enjoy the event without the commitments of canteen duty - the Rogues’ cricketers enjoyed some easy work and earned their club some cash. H o w e v e r, We n d y said more volunteers were still required. “At the moment the Rogues Cricket Club
have been the only club to take up our offer but we would really like to have other teams and clubs offer to do it as well because there are still plenty of races to run,” Wendy said. Wendy said all the clubs had to supply were volunteers to do basic food preparation
and sell food. The volunteers would only be needed for about four hours if the last meeting was anything to go by, the Dirt Circuit Club would supply everything else. “ I t h i n k i t ’s a n excellent idea for everyone concerned.
One club gets to follow their own interest – which for us is car racing – while the other club makes a little money and meet during their offseason,” Wendy said. “It makes a lot of sense to do this for a lot of the town’s events.”
Rogues Cricket Club volunteers were Stuart Deed, Lindy McAskill, Rory McAskill, Randall Wyatt, Will Bodsworth, Nigel Altman and Glenn Bassett
“It was brilliant and my children are now very interested in the group sessions.” I would like to thank the following businesses for the support and donations: Wendy’s, Blockbuster, Mensland, Roxby Downs Newsagents, Andamooka IGA (bottled water), Andamooka Bottle Shop (ice and 10 litres water). I would like to say a very big thank to all my helpers: Dianne Shemmell, Ashleigh Legg (for cleaning of the hall and setting up), Loretta, Sue, Luke and a special thanks to Renee and Louise Rohrlach for cooking the barbecue. Also thanks to the brave overnighters, Dianne, Mike and Karen Freeman, Toni Carter and of course, Laurence Duggan. Lastly, thank you to Robert McCarthy and his mum, Jen, for doing all the shopping for me. Thanks to Rob for helping us clean the hall and to everyone who pitched in to clean-up. Without your support and assistance I could not have done it, thank you so much guys! Anne Legg
Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea Wendy’s in Roxby Downs held Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea on Friday, May 26. Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is the Cancer Council Australia’s best known annual fundraiser and Wendy Kruger and her husband Vern happily support the event. “Everybody knows someone who’s had cancer before so it’s a really good cause, and every little bit helps,” she said. The Kruger’s have tried to support the event as best they can in the last four years. “We’ve done it for the past four years, except for last year which we missed because I was sick at the time,” Mrs Kruger said. About 50 people ar-
rived to show their support and raise money for the Cancer Council. Even though the name says ‘Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea’ the Kruger’s choose to hold their event at a different time every year. “We’ve done different things over the years – the first time around we did a supper; the following year we had an afternoon tea and then this year we’re having a proper morning tea. Basically we do it to fit around Vern’s roster,” Mrs Kruger said. “It went really well this year and each year we manage to get a new batch of people in here because we always hold our event at different times,” she said.

Bully busting at Roxby Downs Area School is on the agenda Are bystanders innocent? There has been a shift from seeing bullying as simply the outcome of individual differences such as personality or physical appearance to seeing bullying in relation to the social or group context in which it occurs. There is an increasing emphasis on the ‘social roles’ that bystanders of school bullying commonly adopt. Bullying at school usually takes place in the presence of student bystanders. Although bystanders sometimes speak out to discourage the bully, the most common response is to ignore what is going on – and the bullying simply continues. Teachers are rarely present because the bully is aware of their presence or location
in the classroom or yard and teachers rarely find out exactly what has happened - unless proactive bystanders choose to help make it stop. In Canadian studies when a bystander did object to the bullying, in more than half the cases the bullying stopped. In schools we need to ask how we can reduce bullying by encouraging student bystanders to engage in pro-social behaviour and intervention to assist victims of bullying. Students need to learn to become more active bystanders, standing up for victims of bullying rather than merely s t a n d i n g b y. I n a survey of 400 students conducted in South Australia, more than 50% of students had witnessed physical, verbal and sexual
bullying in the presence of bystanders on a weekly basis. Research has also shown that it is more likely that primary students will intervene in bullying rather than secondary students and girls also show a stronger tendency to intervene than boys – either directly or by seeking help from a teacher. This decrease at secondary school appears to be l a rg e l y d u e t o t h e expectations of friends and the peer group. Students act according to ‘social expectations’ – whether to defend the victim, ignore or the most concerning of all; encouraging the bully! School programs are focusing on the nature and impact of bullying as well as how student bystanders can become more strongly motivated to assist victims of
schoolyard bullying. Reinforcing the actions of students to support victims of bullying must be encouraged. Students who encourage the bully need to face serious consequences as their actions often provide the bully with justification to make the bullying more severe. At times students may believe they themselves are in danger if they intervene in bullying situations but there are many ways the risk of intervening can be minimised such as showing dislike for what is going on, encouraging a group to make a statement etc. Parents and the community can also have an impact on bullying behaviours – it should not be accepted at sports training or events, in social situations or in your
home. The consequence of increasing numbers of students expressing disapproval for bullying when they see it happening can be extremely positive for everybody, including your own children. By working together to intervene in a proactive way in any bullying that we see, any bullying behaviours by children within our school and community can be greatly reduced. L e t ’s a l l w o r k together to minimise bullying within our community as its effects such as depression, selfharm, drug and alcohol addiction and so on are now well documented. We need to all take responsibility for the safety and well-being of our children.
District Conference hosted here Roxby Downs hosted the Northern District Leaders Conference for about 50 Department of Education and Children’s Services (DECS) principals, site leaders and district personnel on Thursday and Friday, May 25 - 26.

Netball SAPSASA On Friday, May 5, seventeen year 6/7 girls travelled to Port Augusta to play in the Northern SAPSASA Netball Carnival. We had two teams representing Roxby Downs Area School (RDAS) who played in Division One and Division Two. The Division One team played well during the day winning three out of their five games and made it to the semi finals but narrowly missed out on getting into the grand final.
The division Two team also played well and won two out of their five games and played in the semi finals. All girls did RDAS proud by demonstrating great sportsmanship and enthusiasm throughout the day. Congratulations to Tahnee Elliot, Jessica Katzorke and Jaimee Langdon Oats who were selected to play in the Northern Areas Netball SAPSASA team, which will be competing in the SAPSASA Carnival
in Adelaide from June 4 - 9. We wish these girls all the best. A special thanks must go out to Vicki McGauchie, Rosalie Dello, Karen Traeger, Michelle Casserly and Verity Casserly, who volunteered to help by umpiring, coaching or transporting the girls. Thanks, the day would not have been possible without your support. Also, thank you to all the other parents and family members who came down and supported the girls on the day.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Greg Berry and I will be the Acting Principal at Roxby Downs Area School for the rest of this year. I am very excited at the challenges this poses for me professionally and look forward to working with the school staff and governing council to meet the educational needs of the Roxby Downs Community. There will possibly be some confusion over my placement, particularly as Greg Barry was a former staff member at the school, so I will outline my educational and personal history to give you the background to my appointment. I am a country educated (Red Cliffs in Northern Victoria) State High School graduate who attended Salisbury Teachers College and graduated with a Diploma in Teaching (Primary), which I later upgraded to a Secondary Bachelor of Education Degree at UniSA. I began teaching at Gilles Plains Primary School (three years), then five years at The Heights R-12 School; 10 years at Adelaide High School; short terms at Plympton High School, Woodville High School, Campbelltown High School, Enfield High School and Banksia Park High School. I also taught in three different schools in London when our family took up an International Teaching Exchange in 1985. At the beginning of my career, I initially taught Years 4-7 composite classes but changed focus at The Heights School by moving into secondary Physical Education (PE) and Health. Later I moved away
Dear Parents and Friends, Firstly, thank you to all the parent helpers and Parent and Friends members who helped on the Market Day Coffee Corner last market day. The day was a great success and in particular the Girls and Boys showbags were a “hit” and we will be selling them again next market day on Saturday, June 17, at a cost of $5 each. Do not forget we will be also selling Girls and Boys Lucky Dips for $1 each.
Our next Parents and Friends Meeting will be on July 5 at 7.30 pm at the school staffroom. You are all welcome to attend we are always looking for more volunteers to join our group. Don’t forget to come and join us at the Coffee Corner next Market Day Saturday, June 17. Annette Jackson (Pand F Committee)

from PE into Geography and Mathematics teaching. While at Banksia Park High School, I took on the administrative position of sub-school head for a third of the school. In these early school placements, I undertook terms as Sports Co-ordinator, Year 8 Co-ordinator, PE Senior and even some time as Acting Deputy Principal. My substantive Executive leadership roles began with a five year Assistant Principal appointment to Salisbury High School, where I also spent time as the acting Deputy Principal. After this, I was appointed Principal of Cambrai Area School in 2001 and since 2002 have held the Principal’s position at Wudinna Area School. In my extended educational roles, I am currently the Secretary of the South Australian Area School Leaders Association (SAASLA) and also hold the Chairperson’s role for Secondary School Sports SA. As an Executive member of SAASLA, I hold the portfolio of ‘Human Resources’ and I represent the association at all Department of Education and Children’s Services (DECS). This role is invaluable to understanding the complexities of staffing and issues related to the Enterprise Bargaining Agreements between the Australian Education Union (AEU) and DECS. As an active community member I have held several positions in the communities I have been involved with. I enjoy most sports and have held management roles with local
Acting Principal, Greg Berry football, basketball and cricket clubs, most recently working in fundraising for the Wudinna Sport and Recreational Facilities Committee. I spent many years as a Drug Testing Officer for the Australian Sports Drug Agency culminating in a position on the Anti–Doping team for the Sydney Olympics. I am currently an active Lion’s Club member and this week I complete two years as the Wudinna Club’s President. I am also a Justice of the Peace for SA. My tenure at Roxby Downs will begin on the long weekend in June and I hope to move my household on the Saturday to take up duties after the holiday Monday. I will hold the position at RDAS until the end of the year, backfilling Jim Michalanney’s position while he is in charge of the Open Access College in Adelaide. Jim and I have already spoken and he assures me Roxby Downs
is a wonderfully enthusiastic and supportive community and the school staff mirror this enthusiasm with their professional and dedicated approach. As a Principal I have an ‘Open Door Policy’ preferring to be directly informed of any concerns that families, staff or students have before they become ‘second’ or ‘third’ hand and subject to gossip or speculation. In saying this I also appreciate that I cannot handle every issue personally and will delegate appropriately to make sure issues are resolved. I am hoping for as smooth a transition as possible for this new challenge and I thank the school staff for their tremendous efforts in managing the school over this transition period. I look forward to working with you all. Greg Berry

If you need staff, take a fresh look at who’s moving into work. Under the new income support rules, more Australians will be asked to look for work. This year, the Australian Government is investing two billion dollars in services to help people currently on benefits move into the workforce. In order to tap into this vast and varied workforce, it pays to have a flexible approach. You’ll discover people with a wealth of experience, skills and fresh attitudes. They may be parents re-entering the workforce, people with disabilities or those who haven’t worked for a while.
You’ll meet people of all ages and backgrounds who want to work and who are keen to contribute to your business.

e-learning technology would allow teachers to direct classes all over the state or country – lessening the need for specialist teachers in country areas and providing options to students in such areas. Potentially country schools would be able to select a staff of general knowledge teachers and apply for special teaching sessions online through DECS when necessary. Schools which purchase the e-learning technology from DECS would also be able to offer potential teaching staff the same professional d e v e l o p m e n t opportunities given to metropolitan teachers. Mrs McCallum said e-learning would allow teachers in rural areas to access education seminars in Adelaide with no lost travel time. “The potential for professional development e-learning offers is excellent – it means teachers won’t be disadvantaged by moving to a country area,” Mrs McCallum said. The district leaders conference – which included DECS executive director Greg Robson and Northern Country district leader, David Craig – was also addressed by guest speaker Glen Capelli. Mr Capelli gave a presentation on inspirational leadership and making learning relevant to day to day activities.

The conference took two days and was held at the Roxby Downs Christian Community Church, and included the e-learning technology demonstration via a three way conference. The conference linked the Technology School of the Future and DECS head office in Adelaide with the assembled leaders at the Roxby Downs Area School. D e p a r t m e n t of Education and Children’s Services (DECS) Improvement Officer, Maria McCallum said DECS had been working with the Technology School of the Future to design new teaching methods with technological assistance. “ We i n v i t e d t h e Te c h n o l o g y S c h o o l of the Future in Adelaide and set up a web link with them to demonstrate a mode of operating between separate schools,” Mrs McCallum said. “The e-learning technology is in place and we just have to work out how to best use it and make it cost effective because it’s not cheap at the moment. T h e s o f t w a r e i s n ’t necessarily expensive but the hardware is,” she said. DECS has sent out a tender to schools to invest in the new technology. Mrs McCallum said
April figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show the number of full-time jobs in South Australia reached a record high in trend terms last month with a total of 514,300 South Australians in full-time work. SA Government Employment Minister Paul Caica says it’s the seventh month in a row that full-time jobs have trended up in this State. “This is very good news for South Australians and is an indication of the strength of labour demand in this State and that the sorts of jobs we are creating are in the high skill, high wage areas.” The statistics show the total trend employment in South Australia in April remained at the record high level achieved the previous month, with a total of
744,200 South Australians in work. In further good news, participation in the labour market rose in South Australia in both trend and seasonally adjusted terms, indicating ongoing confidence in the State Labour market. While this is good news for the state it is not good news for local employers who are attempting to attract quality workers to Roxby Downs. The lack of supply of quality employees in most categories of employment is making it difficult for local businesses to find suitable staff. In many professions the demand is so high the gap between ‘city’ wages and “remote” wages has shrunk to such a degree it is now less of an incentive than in the past.

Roxby Downs adds to Business Confidence Deputy Premier Kevin Foley says the pride that South Australians feel for their state is reflected in the recent release of the BankSA State Monitor. ``It’s a pleasing result and demonstrates once again that as South Australians we are all very proud of our State,’’ Mr Foley says. ``The May Monitor shows 90 per cent of South Australians feel proud of the State, up from 80 per cent in February, while consumer confidence rose to 125.9 from 123.1 and business confidence rose to 123.6 in May from 123.1 in February. ``The consumer confidence figure is the highest in more than 12 months,
and the third highest recorded since BankSA started its survey in 1997. ``It confirms the view that South Australia is a very positive place to be right now. ``The economy is doing well, more South Australians are in jobs now than ever before and the future is bright with projects such as the $6 billion airwarfare destroyer contract and the expansion of Roxby Downs on the horizon. ``South Australia is punching well above its weight in national and international terms and that is something we can all be very proud of.’’

Addressing a group of UK and Australian business leaders in London recently, Premier Mike Rann said South Australia’s economic future would be dominated by a mining boom in the second, third and fourth decades of this century. “Mining in South Australia will become as important an industry as it has been in Western Australia. “Currently we are experiencing record levels of mining exploration in our State’s history. Our State has seen a dramatic increase in the number of exploration licences. “The value of South Australia’s mineral exports has jumped by a
massive 50 per cent to $1.4 billion in the last year alone. “Within the next two years, billions of dollars of new mines will get the go-ahead in South Australia. “Most attention is focused on the proposed $7 billion expansion of the Olympic Dam. Even before the $7 billion expansion of the Olympic Dam gold/copper/ uranium/silver mine that is poised to become the largest open cut mine in the world. “However I am expecting a positive decision by the end of this year by Oxiana for a go-ahead for a new copper and gold mine to the south of Coober Pedy. “This project alone will generate up to 700 jobs during the construction phase, and about 400 permanent jobs once the mine reaches full production in 2008. “That’s a giant leap of faith in

our mining prospectivity, owed in large part to the boom in exploration work being undertaken by mining companies in the past few years. “Our State has seen a dramatic increase in the number of exploration licences. As of late last year, 522 mineral exploration licences covered more than 270,000 square kilometres of the State. “Today, South Australia enjoys the third-highest level of exploration spending behind only the giant mining states of Queensland and Western Australia. “In 2004-05, mineral production hit an all-time high of $1.6 billion. I believe that means we are well on our way to achieving our target of boosting the value of minerals production and processing to $4 billion by 2020."

Testing for basic rescues This included checking cadets’ ability to properly prepare a litter to extract a person from a difficult location – like a mine shaft; casualty handling; rope tying including preparation of abseiling gear. Mr Wilton said the basic rescue assessment was the only compulsory training SES officers had to complete and could then choose to specialise in other areas if desired. Future training options include instruction on the correct use of the ‘jaws of life’ hydraulic separator device and the hydraulic cutters – which are used to extract people trapped in cars.

Woomera hosts tourism conference Woomera played the role of host to key tourism industry personnel recently, creating an important opportunity for local tourist operators and businesses. Tourism officers, operators and key industry figures gathered in Woomera for the annual South Australian Visitors Information Centre (VIC) Conference. The delegates from across the state represented staff from other VIC’s, tour operators and key industry figures. During the conference delegates toured a number of regional destinations including the Arid Lands Centre in Port Augusta, Roxby Downs, the Olympic Dam Mine and Andamooka. The delegates also had the opportunity to look over Woomera with a lunch at Memorial Park, a browse through the Social History Museum, Missile Park, Marine Centre and
Rocket Range Museum before attending a conference dinner at the Eldo Hotel. Woomera Board Member Trish Hepburn said the conference was important for Woomera because VICs provide information to visitors across the state. “The delegates were treated to an overview of what Woomera and the surrounding areas have to offer. This experience will be passed onto visitors within their own areas and we all know that one of the best marketing tools is word of mouth advertising,” she said The success of the conference is credited to the efforts of Mei Nee Cheong from the South Australian Tourism Commission, Angela Nicholls from BAE Systems, and the contributions of many locals and organisations. Special thanks from across the region go to Woomera and its hard working team for staging such an outstanding event.
23 call outs for Roxby CFS “The Roxby Downs CFS has been called 23times in the last 19 weeks” said Captain
Brett Atkins at a recent recruitment drive. It would seem the load operate this key
emergency service is spread pretty thin with only 13 members. The local service is well
equipped and provides nationally accredited training for recruits who can attain a Level 1 Fire
Fighters Certificate. The majority of call outs this year have been to motor vehicle fires, with others for alarm malfunctions, domestic fires or those started by vandals. What will be next, a fire at one of the major businesses, the club, a bush fire OR YOUR HOME. I hope there is enough people available that day? Ta l k t o B r e t t o n 0419803054 about how you can help save someone’s property of home. Lets spread the load.

Discover the Wilderness wonderland
FISHING: Near Godfrey’s Landing, Coorong National Park, Limestone Coast www.southaustralia.com.au
The Coorong in South Australia’s Limestone Coast casts a spell over many who wander its shores. The Coorong is one of Australia’s most fragile ecosystems, featuring a spectacular tapestry of coastline, scrubland, lakes and lagoons located 150km south-east of Adelaide. It may only be three kilometres wide, but the depth of attractions on offer throughout the Coorong National Park is far greater, with almost 47,000 hectares of enormous diversity and stunning scenery. This pristine wilderness is not only a photographer’s wonderland, but a fisherman’s delight, with the picturesque inland sea proving a haven for the famous mullet, flounder, and bream. Canoeing and yachting are also popular, and the secluded beaches with their rocky limestone outcrops provide plenty of opportunities for camping, picnics and four-wheel drive adventures. While rich in natural beauty this national park is also steeped in history, with 6,000 years of habitation by the Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal people. The Ngarrindjeri people have left a precious legacy which descendents are happy to share via a series of captivating walking trails and nature tours which unlock tales of flora, fauna and archaeological treasures.
Coonawarra
With a reputation for producing consistent quality and value-for-money wines, the Limestone Coast’s wine industry is as diverse as it is large. Small, family-run boutique wineries sit alongside major national companies… and every one of them takes their wine very seriously. With 13,000 hectares of land under vine, the Limestone Coast is responsible for 20 per cent of Australia’s premium wine production, and 10 per cent of the national grape crush. Essentially, it can be divided into four different wine regions, including Padthaway, Wrattonbully, Mount Benson and Coonawarra, which is arguably the
jewel in the crown. This reputation was initially founded on shiraz-based wines, however since the 1950’s, cabernet sauvignon has become the region’s flagship drop, delighting the most discerning palates with its powerful fruit, elegance and structure. Today, almost 60 per cent of all vines in the area are cabernet sauvignon, and 20 per cent are shiraz, with Riesling accounting for 4 per cent, chardonnay 7 per cent, merlot 8 per cent and sauvignon blanc 1 per cent. Small quantities of other varieties including pinot noir, petit verdot, Semillon, cabernet franc and malbec are also being explored.

Limestone Coast
Visit the pristine Limestone Coast region this winter and save some valuable holiday dollars through the region’s unique petrol promotion. As petrol prices continue to freeze the cash flow of holiday makers The Limestone Coast region has devised a fantastic fuel discount to entice winter travellers. A combination of businesses in the region have joined forces to offer travellers 60 cents per litre discount off petrol costs if they stay in the region for three nights or more. The campaign brings together fuel stations, tourism operators and the regional tourism marketing board and provides guests with the opportunity to explore this magnificent region whilst saving on their fuel costs. The latest campaign came in response to the changes in the domestic tourism market including the recent city to city airfare price war and the increase in fuel prices. Regional Marketing Manager – Limestone Coast Tourism Peter Abbott said these factors had greatly influenced the local tourism industry. “Since the introduction of Virgin and Jetstar to the domestic travel industry, our Melbourne and Adelaide markets have been under pressure,” Mr Abbott said. “Added to this the street fuel price remaining at over the important $1 mark, we are continuing to see touring style holidays being under pressure. This greatly affects a region such as the Limestone Coast region,” he said. “Travellers wishing to take advantage of the offer should contact 1800 087 087 to gain the Cheap Fuel Voucher that lists the participating accommodation providers and fuel stations who are taking part in the offer. With 43 accommodation providers there is a style of property for all travellers needs.”
The Limestone Coast is a worldrenowned destination for divers and adventurers keen to escape to an ecosystem quite unlike anything else. Formed over millions of years by water seeping through natural weaknesses in the limestone which have expanded over time, the Limestone Coast is home to a labyrinth of more than 600 caves and 30 water-filled sinkholes. The Naracoorte Caves are the most well known and the park was made a World Heritage site in 1994 for its extensive fossil record, unrivalled in any cave system in the world. Other accessible attractions include -Tantanoola Cave, near Millicent.
- Princess Margaret Rose Cave, Glenelg River - Umpherston Sinkhole and Cave Garden, Mt Gambier In addition, almost 30 caves suitable for diving have been documented across the Limestone Coast, from Englebrecht Cave in Mt Gambier, where divers are literally exploring waters beneath the city streets , to Piccaninnie Ponds near the Victorian border, which is one of Australia’s premier cave diving sites. The nearby Ewens Ponds is another of The Limestone Coast’s most popular recreational snorkelling and scuba sites, and water measuring 15-16 degrees Celsius far from deters visitors!

grey to a brilliant turquoise blue. If you travel south for 19kms, you’ll experience a case of de ja vu at the Little Blue Lake, which is similar in appearance to its larger namesake, and serves as a popular swimming spot. Close by, the towering Mount Schank is difficult to miss - it was the last volcano to erupt in the region – and that was about 5,400 years ago. Scientists can’t guarantee that it won’t happen again, but say it is highly unlikely. Mount Muirhead, Mount Burr Range, Mount McIntyre and Lake Leake are all located around the Millicent district, and also boast a number of craters and eruptive points.

Make sure you: • teach what you want ¿rst • have only a few rules - too many can lead to failure • are clear • both understand what you mean • choose your time well • know what your child is able to do - if the task is too hard your child may fail and you may feel disappointed or angry • only offer a choice if you’re prepared to give it eg “Do you want to come with me?” (The “No” response might not be acceptable to you.) • don’t give mixed messages - laughing at mischievous behaviour while you say “No” may leave him wondering if you approve or not. • are prepared to back up what you say with action - if you don’t follow through your child is likely to disobey next time. Give consequences Everyone needs to be clear about what will happen before the rules are broken. Consequences should be short, safe and happen as soon as possible after the misbehaviour, or they lose their meaning. Link them to the original problem where possible, eg when your child makes a mess she should clean it up - this teaches how people can make up for mistakes. Give the smallest consequence - a consequence that does not ¿t the behaviour doesn’t help your child to know how to do it better. ‘Time out’ can be used to give children time to think about their behaviour, what they have done wrong and what they can change. Most children see this as punishment and for some this can be a frightening time and not useful, especially for under three years. For those older, allow one minute for every year of your child’s age. ‘Time in’ means to remove your child from the situation that she cannot manage. Keep her with you while you help to settle her, or just hold her until she is able to get calm again. It says to your child that you will not let her do anything to harm herself or others and that you will not let her feelings drive you away or overwhelm you. You are teaching how to manage feelings and dif¿cult situations. Stay tuned for more strategies for discipline in the next Parenting SA column on July 6.

“What else can I do instead of smacking?” is a common question parents ask. Parenting SA looked at discipline and smacking last week and today looks at other methods. Discipline is an important part of a child’s upbringing. It encourages good behaviour, as well as stopping unwanted behaviour and should decrease as children develop their own selfdiscipline. Discipline is much more than saying “No”, “Don’t”, “You can’t”, “You’re punished”. It’s about you teaching, and your child learning. How parents can discipline What you do needs to ¿t with your child’s age, abilities and needs. Think about what you expect – is it reasonable? Think about what you are about to say - how would you feel if an adult spoke or treated you in this way? Spend energy on the really important things and learn to overlook minor irritations. Plan - a good way to avoid problems that happen often - If your toddler always misbehaves when you are shopping, he might be bored, tired or hungry. Your plan might be to shop in short bursts or, when the shops aren’t busy, to shop when your toddler isn’t hungry or tired, to distract by asking his help. Make family rules - Work out in advance and the sort of responses you’ll give? Older children are more likely to accept rules and consequences if they’re involved with you in making them.

Upgrade for Notice Boards The notice boards located at the Richardson Place entrance, and in the shopping centre mall, have become an eyesore. While they are well used by the community they have become less and less effective for people. There is a growing trend of people placing notices on the outside of the notice boards exposing them to the elements. Out of date messages are being left for extended periods. The Richardson Place noticeboard was recently vandalised rendering it unusable. What message is this sending to the community and to visitors? Appreciating the importance of notice boards the Community Board has made arrangements with the owners of Roxby Central Shopping Centre and the Roxby Downs Council to upgrade and manage them. Michelle Hales executive officer of the Community Board said, “Notice boards provide an important and well used community service but in the past nobody was taking responsibility for them
on a day to day basis. I am personally concerned at their appearance and the image this portrays to people visiting our town”. The extensive damage caused to the Richardson Place notice board was the last straw. A new notice board will take its place. Notices will be cleared regularly so outdated messages will be removed. Ms Hales said, “Having a standard size and time limitations for notices will allow more people to use the notice board more often, more effectively. The service will remain free and users will still be able to design and print their own messages.” The notice board in the mall previously used by the tavern is also being upgraded and will carry the latest information and notices from the Community Board, Forums and Partnerships as well as information from the centre’s traders. The council is currently awaiting quotes from suppliers and contractors to undertake the job before they can announce a date for the completion of the works.

NEWS
Body for life challenge begins The Roxby Downs ‘Body For Life Challenge’ is on once again, helping 40 local residents become more trim, taught and terrific. Body for Life is a worldwide 12week program designed to get people more involved in the local gym and recreation facilities, promoting both the health benefits and social interaction it provides. Held by the Roxby Downs Leisure Centre, the challenge began on May 15 and finishes on August 14. The program is co-ordinated by Rachel
Young, Meg Elliot, Jody Marsland and Kristen Humphries. Participants complete upper body, cardio and lower body workouts six days a week and attend group meetings and nutrition seminars; attendance at weekly ‘Boot Camps’ is optional. Ms Elliot said the boot camps were tough but invigorating. “Boot camps are great for motivation and a bit of a challenge, with a focus on competition and having fun,” she said. Entrants received a ‘Body For Life’ journal to guide them through the program,
along with a variety of other goodies. Sponsorship and donations towards the challenge have been outstanding, with a number of local businesses supporting the challenge. The Roxby Club has taken their support one step further, with employees Stev Ellard, Tracey Kynoch, Helen Lepoidevin and Glen Gilby, all being entrants in this year's challenge. “The first week of the challenge I was aching all over and I thought there was no way I could do 12-weeks! But we are now in our third week it’s gotten much easier,”
Tracey Kynoch said. “We didn’t realise how unfit we were until we undertook the challenge. For us it is not about losing weight it’s about fitness level and toning up. I can’t believe how much more energy I have know,” she said Weekly awards are presented to the most positive participant, with a range of prizes being handed out over the 12 weeks to boost morale and maintain enthusiasm. Stay tuned for more updates on the challenge, including prizewinners and an inside look at a participant’s ‘Body For Life’ journal.
Why is coke out of the school canteen? Parents and students have questioned why Coca Cola is no longer available at the Roxby Downs Area School canteen. Coca Cola was taken out of the school midway through last year and has been replaced by the no sugar alternative, Coke Zero. A number of students are not happy with the decision and buy Coke from elsewhere, like Year 10 student Brad Haliman. “I’m not happy at all – it’s a load of crap. I don’t think the canteen gets as much business anymore. I buy Coke from Woolworths instead,” Brad said. Canteen manager Jane Johnston said the decision was made by the school’s Healthy Eating committee. “It was a whole healthy eating committee idea to take it (Coke) out. It was mainly about the sugar and caffeine that was in coke and the kids were drinking too much of it,” she said. But if coke has been taken out because of the sugar, why is Fanta and Sprite still being sold? “The other soft-drinks have a little less sugar and they will gradually be going out of the canteen as well,” Mrs Johnston said. The canteen has traded profit for healthier living. “They (the kids) drink other things, we have lost profit but we are going more towards the
healthy eating”. Mrs Johnston said she did not know how some kids ate the same thing everyday and would like them to have more variety. “It’s tricky, I said to the committee some kids eat the same thing everyday and a variety would be good for them. “There is no sugar in Coke Zero, so it is better for the kids,” Mrs Johnston said. Mrs Johnston told The Monitor she was unaware of recently released research showing the cancer links of certain artificial sweeteners found in drinks such as Coke Zero. Another ‘Healthy Eating Committee’ member, Josh Bishop said he signed up because it was a good opportunity and he thought students were drinking too much coke. “I signed up because it’s a good opportunity, it looks good on my resume and I think the kids drink too much coke and it makes them hyper in class,” Mr Bishop said. He said other school canteens were healthier. “Other canteens in other schools are a lot healthier and we (the Healthy Eating Committee) want to make our school healthier with eating/ drinking choices,” he said. When confronted with some research showing evidence of links to cancer from some
artificial sweeteners such as those used in Coke Zero, Josh said he thought the research was misinterpreted. “I think the research is controversial, the way they studied it was misinterpreted,” Josh said. Shane Hodgson, acting head of the Healthy Eating Committee in Mrs Fox’s absence said her reason for starting the coke ban was because she was worried about the way students had been eating. “I am filling in for Mrs Fox while she is away but her reason for starting this is because she is worried about the way kids are eating,” he said. Mr Hodgson said senior students could purchase Coke but the primary students could not. “The Coke policy at the school is that the senior students can get it but not the primary students,” Mr Hodgson said. When Mr Hodgson was told of the artificial sweeteners cancer risks he said because it had now been bought to his attention he might bring it up in the next ‘Healthy Eating Committee’ meeting. Mr Hodgson told The Monitor while parents had the choice to allow their kids to drink Coke, that was not the case at school. “Parents have a choice at home, but the school chooses to show healthy eating lifestyles and be a role model of healthy eating.”

COMMUNITY PLAN UPDATE
Community board Following a suggestion made by members of the Family and Youth Forum, the Community Board has decided to organise an event that brings people from all the Forums, Partnerships and the Community Board together. This will be an opportunity for members to meet each other, chat about common issues, learn about community projects that are happening, network, and share ideas. The date has been set for Wednesday, June 28. Further details to follow. Stay Tuned for: COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS
Education & workplace training forum At the meeting held on May 23 the Forum identified the next round of priorities to focus on. All Forum members had similar aspirations and agreement was quickly reached on the following top 5: • Develop a perpetual awareness campaign to promote long term career opportunities for apprentices and trainees • Establish greater liaison and communication between education and the business sector to ensure families, students and employers are fully informed of options • Develop more job and life skills opportunities for 14-18 year olds • Attract more students into school based and full time apprenticeships. Promote career opportunities as a viable alternative choice to university • Identify sources of funding to assist in resourcing projects and programs
There are number of current actions that the Forum is working on – the Career Expo, media strategy and training directory – which all support these priorities. Arrangements for the Career and Employment Expo are well underway with a working party established to organise the event. In response to advice received from BHP Billiton it was decided that the date of the Expo will need to be changed to later in the year. The impact on availability of accommodation for the upcoming shutdown could cause problems and all agreed that the success of the Expo hinges on availability of accommodation. The working party is seeking advice from the School, the Cultural Precinct and local accommodation providers before locking in a new date. An important aspect of the Expo will be a guest speaker program where inspiring speakers will talk about their career journeys.
Art and culture forum The Forum held an extra meeting on May 17 to talk specifically about the role, purpose and management of the Forum. This was a chance to provide recently joined members with background and information on the evolution of the Forum and serve as a refresher for long term members. The Forum discussed the vision statement and debated what it means to be a hub for arts and culture in the Far North. Thoughts included: being recognisable; busy; inclusive; diverse; inviting; and radiating. In terms of core business this could mean: sending artists out from the hub; networking amongst artists and the community; a place to come for supplies; a place to come for recognition and support; an enabling centre; a launching pad.
Vision: a place where innovation and creativity is encouraged This might involve: • Evolving towards a culture that respects and enjoys the arts • A learning community that teaches from parent to child, adult to child and peer to peer • A community that owns its arts because it is involved with producing them The Forum decided that establishing working parties to work on specific areas of the arts will allow people to focus on their areas of interest. These groups could focus on themes such as: music; theatre; craft; events; commercial artists; and visual art. An executive group will hold the overall vision, network the groups and develop strategy and policy.
Family and youth forum The first meeting of the Community Garden working party was held on May 17. Interest in the garden is gaining momentum. The working party is keen to gather ideas and support from the wider community. At the last market day people were invited to write down their ideas and to join the mailing list for further information via the Arid Recovery stall. Forms can also be found at Outback Landscaping. The benefits of a Community Garden out numerous and include: social, health, education, and environment. Potential linkages include the schools, kindergartens and childcare centres, the hospital and local artists. Suggestions put forward include being used as an arid gardening demonstration site for residents and horticultural
students, and incorporating a sculpture garden. The working party agreed that the size of the land required and its location are fundamental to the success of the project. A number of other factors need to be considered including funding, site management, and sustainability. The working party is also keen to establish a Friends group to coordinate volunteer involvement. The Family and Youth Forum have identified the need for family oriented meeting places and a Community Garden will help achieve this aim. The working party is currently brainstorming ideas and welcomes further contributions from the community. These can be forwarded via email to: community@ roxbycouncil.com.au
Business “Recruiting new members” was the topic of discussion at the last meeting held on May 22. The Forum reviewed the current meeting days and times. Although day meetings had originally been requested by members it was felt that a night meeting might encourage more participation. A number of suggestions were put forward including: • Running a combination of night and day meetings • Organise guest speakers for evening meetings following by a meal for those who want to stay
and network • Have a noise free environment if possible The Forum is keen to involve representatives from across all sectors including: retail, financial, real estate, home based, recruiting and contractors. Invitations will be sent out to all businesses on the database to attend a gathering of Forum Members at the Roxby Downs Club on July 12 at 7.00pm. Contact Alex Barker on 86710010 for further information.
Sport and recreation forum On June 6 members of the Forum gathered to make comment about and sign off the revised Implementation Plan (refer below). The proposed action plan for the Sporting Walk of Fame and the establishment of a working party to make it happen were also discussed. Another hot topic was the Child

Melbourne Comedy Festival comes to Roxby Downs The eighth Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow is trucking out of Melbourne to tour South Australia, with a side-splitting pit stop in Roxby Downs on Wednesday, June 21, at 8 pm. This year’s lineup features some exciting and talented performers including New Zealand born Cal Wilson, who has made regular television appearances on the Glasshouse, Rove Live, The Panel and Spicks and Specks. Another act is A u s t r a l i a ’s E d d i e
Perfect, who has been described by a Scottish reviewer as having a “sense of humour so caustic it could strip paint”. A composer and m u s i c a l d i r e c t o r, Eddie was recently voted number one in the field of Arts and Entertainment by the Bulletin Magazine for its Smart 100 awards. Meanwhile Damian Callinan, a master of characterisation, is a well-known face on Australian television from his roles on comedy programs Skithouse and Before The Game.
Also featured is the incredibly popular Tommy Dean, who has the unique edge of being an American who understands Australia, its audiences and above all what makes us laugh. He is firmly established as one of Australia's most sought after comic performers and writers. Finally, Christina Adams is a former cast member and director of the Melbourne University Law Revue. A Raw Comedy State Finalist she regularly performs as a standup. In 2005 Christina
received the Best Newcomer Award at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for her debut solo show. The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow is on at the Roxby Downs Cultural Precinct Auditorium on Wednesday, June 21, at 8 pm. Book your tickets on 8671 2001. Don’t miss out - the laughs start here! But be warned – the show may contain coarse language, sexual references and material which can offend and would not be suitable for children.
Back to basics “Photography 101” Do you take happy snaps with your camera? Or do you take photographs? Yes, there is a difference. Maybe not practically, but the mood of a photograph is what will make someone stop and really take notice. So how do you achieve this? The first step is getting the operators’ manual and reading what features your camera has built
into it - changing certain settings can really make a difference. Secondly, you should come along to the “Back to Basics” workshop on Sunday, June 25, being hosted by the local Outback Hotshots Camera Club.

Arts Wrap Rodney Mitchell Renowned South Australian artist Jack Absalom visited Andamooka and Roxby Downs on Friday, May 19. Jack is an early riser - Like many bush men Jack just cannot shake the habit of getting up to work early. On Friday night he went to bed at 8:20pm, which considering he is 80, late. His wife and life long companion Helen testified that Jack always rises from the nuptial bed at 5:30 am. Jack gets up to walk the dogs and to paint; he paints beautiful landscapes of the country around his home at Broken Hill and has written numerous books and sold many paintings. He has made documentaries about the bush life and his excursions overseas with Pro Hart as one of the “Brushmen of the Bush” which are legendary. But at the Tuckabox in Andamooka on Friday night we talked about the early days when Jack was the youngest among the few men scraping out a living on the opal fields. He grew up on the transcontinental
railway line during the Depression. Jack’s father was hurt in an accident while working the line and Jack became the family’s breadwinner as a young man, which meant going for rabbits. In Port Augusta he became a pugnacious nationalist and boxed for The Railways. He was and is proud of this country and the people who live in it. An excellent story teller, Jack leads with a series of shallow hard jabs from his left hand when accounting a tale. Then he coaxes you along with reassurance, laying his right hand open onto your elbow. Jack did an apprenticeship in boilermaking at Port Augusta and turned that to advantage by repairing and sharpening the picks and axes on the Andamooka fields. He worked in Coober Pedy, traveled just about everywhere, and finally settled in Broken Hill. He is well known on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara lands and has learnt much about the bush from the people around Mimilli. However, the first time he drove into Roxby Downs Jack got lost and one of the local policemen had to guide him out under the stars before he got his bearings. Here was a man who knew the sky backwards and could
fix position by looking at just a small piece of it. But he was no match for an over-lit Roxby Downs cul-de-sac. After an excellent meal at The Box, Jack Absalom went to bed and I wandered up to the pub. It was eight-ball night and a young waitress wove in and out of the patrons as young men mingled with their fathers, uncles and cousins. Everyone felt safe and it was a great night in Andamooka. As I write this note we have Dave Kovac studying bronze casting in Kangaroo Island; Alex Menndelssohn in Phoenix, Arizona, selling extreme painting and Peter Taubers and Margot Duke running the Andamooka Post Office and developing a world class underground conference centre. Andamooka also has some young musicians just itching for their chance to demonstrate their abilities. Watch this space! In Andamooka they want to see the Torrens Track looked after properly - you can talk to the town about it. I’m sure most of Andamooka will be there for the Melbourne Comedy Festival for a good laugh on Wednesday, June 21. Lets see the Roxby people too. What about Woomera and Pimba? Are we going to see you too?

Success at Auskick
The recent Auskick football workshops proved to be successful with local children and parents. Auskick organiser,
Tracey Ryan said approximately 200 children arrived to play some Australian Rules football and better their skills.
Tracey urged parents who come along to watch their children to take a hands-on role in the training. “Don’t be shy to get
actively involved in the coaching – parents can either run a group themselves or just watch the children in the line and make sure they be-
have,” she said. “Just get out there and encourage the children,” she said. Participants at the workshops were sent
home with an Auskick bag – which included a small football, a hat and a drink bottle and the youngsters appeared to love them, especially the football! There are four junior teams in the Roxby Downs junior league – two in the under 12’s and two in the under
16’s but judging by the attendances at the Auskick workshops, more teams could soon be on the way. So, if you are a parent watching your child or children from the sideline please do not be afraid – head out onto the field and ask what you can do to help.
