Amendments made to the Outback Communities Authority’s community engagement policy have satisfi ed the requests of the Ombudsman, render-
ing the matter closed.An inquiry was made into the policy earlier this year, after
Andamooka local Brian McFarlane lodged complaints to the Ombudsman in December 2012.
McFarlane questioned whether the OCA had complied with section requirement in the Outback Communities (Administration and Management) Act 2009 in consulting about the Community Aff airs Resourcing and Management Agreement for Andamooka, and whether the OCA had valid authority to implement the Community Contribution Scheme.
After fi nding minor error in the consultation processes in these two issues, the Ombudsman acknowledged the OCA had made the errors unintentionally and ordered a review of the Authority’s policy.
Th e policy has had the fi nal tick of approval recently, with the OCA exceeding the expectations of the Ombudsman.
“Th e revised policy reiterates the Outback Communities Authority’s commitment to open, accountable and respon-sive decision making which is informed by people who live and work in the outback,” said OCA Governance Manager Byron Gough.
“Th e Board is confi dent this policy provides a clear di-rection for the Outback Communities Authority to follow when undertaking consultation.”
Mr Gough explained the Ombudsman had subse-quently stated he is satisfi ed that the amendments had addressed the recommendations made in his fi nal report. “Th e Ombudsman has now closed his fi le on this matter,” he said.
OCA Chairperson Cecilia Woolford said the amend-ments would have no physical eff ect on Andamooka, apart from stipulating how the OCA would consult with the community – and all other communities under its care, in the future.
“It’s been out for consultation, the process has been as far as we’re concerned very positive – we didn’t get any negative out of it,” Ms Woolford said last week.
“I got a letter from the ombudsman congratulating us on the process and the way that we have so professionally dealt with the Ombudsman throughout the entire period, and as far as he’s concerned it’s case closed.”
Th e policy is now posted on the Outback Communities Authority web site, www.oca.sa.gov.au.

Roxby Downs took a minute of silence on Monday in remem-brance of fallen ANZAC soldiers
and the First World War’s armistice in a Remembrance Day ceremony in Richardson Place.
Celebrating the 95th anniversary of the armistice, President of the Roxby Downs and Andamooka RSL Jack McGuire said it was a day Australia could refl ect on sacrifi ces made by those before us.
“Remembrance Day is one of those days where we as a country and as in-
dividuals can refl ect on sacrifi ces that have been made by our forefathers who have fought against those that had tried to take away our lifestyle, our freedom and our democratic right,” Mr McGuire told Th e Monitor.
“We have freedoms that other places in the world just don’t have, because they are under some sort of dictatorship or control.
“We are a lucky country, I always say that, we are lucky because we have the opportunity to invite new people into our country that want to make Australia their home, because it is a safe place to bring your family otherwise they wouldn’t
come here.”Mr McGuire said the sacrifi ces made
from those in the past and those being made overseas today make the ANZAC legend part of who Australian’s are.
However, he did stress the need to keep instilling the importance of the leg-end of the ANZAC into Australian youth.
“It’s important that people do remem-ber, especially our young, and that’s the thing, educating our young so they don’t forget,” Mr McGuire said.
“We may be a small country in popula-tion, but we are big on guts, we’re big on tenacity, we’re big on all those things that make us Australian,” he fi nished.

Kernaghan to tour regional SABy Millie Thomas
Australian country music icon Lee Kernaghan announced his South Australian tour
dates last week, including plans to visit Port Pirie and Port Lincoln in May next year.
Th e down to earth internation-al superstar will kick off his South Australian tour in Port Lincoln on Tuesday May 20th, followed by Whyalla on Wednesday the 21st, Port Pirie on Thursday the 22nd, and then visits to Renmark and Ta-nunda.
Supported by ‘Australia’s Got Tal-ent’ country rock stars ‘Th e Wolfe Brothers’, Lee is excited to bring his high energy ‘Beautiful Noise’ tour to SA.
“Th e last 18 months I have been touring the new album Beautiful Noise and it’s been a fantastic tour, but it won’t be complete til we play South Australia!” Lee told Th e Mon-itor last week.
“Most of the songs that are one the record are stories from the pag-es of my life, and the people that I’ve met as I tour around Australia and the places I’ve been inspire much of the music.
“It’s like writing a book, but it keeps going on!”
One of the stories on the album ‘Riding with the King’, recollects time Lee spent with country music legend Slim Dusty.
“I was boarding a plane out of Sydney to Perth for a Western Aus-tralia tour, and when I got on the fl ight, I realised I’d be sitting next to Slim Dusty, the King of Country Music,” Lee remembered.
“So I got the chance to fl y across Australia with Slim, and the mem-ories will live in my heart for all my days – so we turned those memories into a song!”
Relative new kids on the block ‘The Wolfe Brothers’ debuted to the world making the fi nals of real-ity TV show ‘Australia’s Got Talent’, also quickly catching Lee’s atten-tion.
“I was so impressed, I said to my manager –‘have you seen the Wolfe Brothers?’, he said ‘yeah’, I said, ‘mate, you’d wanna manage these guys, they’re incredible!’”
And it was as simple as that. Th e Wolfe Brothers (TWB), who were holding down jobs as a postman, carpenter and dental technician had a jam with Lee in Sydney and found themselves booked in for their fi rst tour.
“Th ey’ve had to give up their day jobs… They’re legendary blokes, and I think South Australia are go-ing to absolutely love them!”
According to Lee, TWB bring a high energy facet to the show, which he can only attribute to their com-bined love of music and the stage.
“We know it’s a great privilege to
LEFT: Lee Kernaghan will soon tour regional SA, including Port Pirie and Port Lincoln.
be able to tour our country and to be able to play to packed out shows around Australia,” he said. “Every show is an adventure!”
While Lee isn’t making his way up to Roxby Downs this time, he remembers fondly writing ‘Th e Way It Is’ from his Electric Rodeo Album at Cooper Creek, and being inspired by the desert to write ‘Th e Odyssey’ on the same album.
“I’m mainly just looking forward to a great tour of South Australia, I’ve been hammered on Facebook, ‘when are you coming to South Australia, when are you coming?’ So it’s great to fi nally be able to have dates locked in and a tour planned now,” he fi nished.

L ast year, 2012 brought us Jimmy the Joey – a delightful rescue joey that caught the heart of a local family
after losing its mother.
Th is year, 2013, meet Ned. Ned, a six month old joey, was found in
Andamooka by local lady Caroline Chris-tianson.
Mrs Christianson found Ned on Roxby’s 25th Birthday - Sunday, October 27. He was found inside his dead mother’s pouch after she was left in the middle of the main road leading into the town. Mrs Christianson moved the body off the road to alleviate the hazard for other drivers, but was surprised by what she found…
“All of a sudden I noticed this little joey!” Mrs Christianson said. “And it looked pretty lifeless you know.”
Mrs Christianson tried to warm up the joey in her car, but she still thought the joey too was dead. She placed its body back next its mothers… but became alarmed once again when she saw the crows setting in on the two roos.
“I went back, and it had found itself a little bit away from the mother towards the highway again,” Mrs Christianson said.
“I said, ‘my goodness me, it must be alive!’”
Th e rest of Ned’s day was quite an adven-ture for the little roo. After being warmed up, he went for a visit to church to hear the Sunday’s sermon, and was taken to the Arid Recovery stall at the Roxby Downs 25 year anniversary celebrations for professional help.
He had sustained only minor injuries to his tail and nose, but Mrs Christianson wanted to give the little fellow the best chance he could get at a full recovery.
That’s where registered Animal Net-work Carer Gaye Darling comes in, who
was promptly called by the Arid Recovery team. Mrs Darling has been caring for in-jured animals in Roxby Downs for 18 of her 25 years here.
Last year Mrs Darling was also involved in helping the Roxby Downs Environment Forum, and along with Arid Recovery and BHP Billiton set up the Wildlife Awareness Initiative – who respond 24 hours a day to injured wildlife and snake sightings.
Before last year, she had cared for local wildlife on her own.
“We were foster parents for 20 years, so I guess I just love helping things out, be-ing it animals, people, kids,” Mrs Darling explained.
Now with Ned and two young kestrels under her wing, it doesn’t look like things will ever change.
Gaye looks after the animals until they can be relocated to properties that are able to harbour them and other rescued animals – as their general re-release into the wild goes against the South Australian Parks and Wildlife Act.
“Because the success rate is not good,” Mrs Darling explained. “Th ey pattern them-selves against humans, so the fi rst thing they do to anybody is bound up to them and say hello, and I’m here to watch TV and all the rest of it… they just become too human-ised.”
Mrs Darling said if anyone comes across injured wildlife and try to help – the main thing is to keep them warm.
“If it’s a kangaroo with a joey, you need to check the pouch – the main thing is, to keep the joey warm,” she said. “Don’t try and feed it, if it’s a hot day, maybe off er it a bit of water but don’t push it down its neck. Keep it quiet, calm and get it to expert help as soon as you can.
“Because while they’re still in the pouch, they’re actually equivalent to a premature baby – very delicate.
“So you just do the best you can.”She also suggested warm blankets and
keeping the animal close to body warmth to help its survival.
For more information about the Wildlife Awareness Initiative or to report an injured animal or snake sighting, call the hotline on 0497 808 315.

A man has been arrested for the murder of Coober Pedy school girl Karen Williams,
16, in 1990.
Police last week arrested a 42-year-old Mount Gambier man in relation to the case after a new focus on the investigation shed new light earlier this last year.
Ms Williams remains were not found, however police will return to the opal town in following weeks to resume the search.
Th e investigation is continuing and police are looking for a Datsun 180B, registrations (SA) SLG-539 which they believe may be connect-ed to the case. Th e number plate may also have changed since 1990.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
A team of knowledgeable staff from the SA Museum will visit Roxby Downs on Friday the November 22, 2013.
Th e Museum will be delivering educational sessions with students of Roxby Downs Area School during the day as well as free Community Twilight Event at the school library from 6pm – 8pm at the RDAS library.
Th e visit is an initiative of the Out of the Glass Case program, which brings the museum to re-gional, rural and remote areas of South Aus-tralia.
Th e programs are specifi cally tailored to each community, allowing them to access the Muse-um’s stories, collections, research and science.
Roxby Downs is the last stop for the Out of the Glass Case Roadshow for 2013. Th e muse-um sessions are tailored for students from early primary through to Year 12.
Th e sessions explore the wonders of nature, and include topics covering palaeontology, arachnids, birds and the diverse country that is Australia.
Designed to engage students with museum
stories, collections and research, the fi ve sessions provide up-to-date scientifi c research, and cre-ate an opportunity for discussions on learning pathways in science, natural history and culture.
Arid Recovery is honoured to be joining the SA Museum for the Community Twilight Event.
“Th e community is really fortunate that the SA Museum is visiting, bringing with them a range of expertise to cover a variety of really interesting topics that I’m sure everyone will really enjoy,” Arid Recovery Education and Com-munity Offi cer Anni Walsh explains.
“For Arid Recovery to be invited to work with the team from the SA Museum in Roxby Downs is fantastic.
We are really excited about the Community Twilight Event and showcasing the work that we do at Arid Recovery amongst the various collections from the SA Museum. Expect to see plenty of interesting displays that you can touch and feel, whilst discovering the wonders of na-ture and why it’s important.”
Th e Out of the Glass Case Roadshow is proud-ly supported by BHP Billiton.

Andamooka P Plater Roxanne Smirnios was awarded with the second ‘Positive P’ award
recently, an initiative run by the Roxby Roadsafe Committee and Roxby Downs Police.
Th e initiative, started in July this year, aims to recognise and reward P Plate drivers who show responsibility and positive actions in their driving. One P Plater a month is recognised and re-warded, from nominations from the police and public.
Eighteen-year-old Roxanne is on her P2s and has been driving for approxi-mately three years and said the key is simple: follow the road rules!
“Being cautious of everyone else as well as yourself,” she added.
As winner of the monthly Positive P Award, Roxanne has been presented with two movie tickets to the Outback Cinema, and a personal letter from Far North LSA Super Intendant Peter An-derson, congratulating her on her safe practices.
Roxanne’s advice to fellow P Platers and P Platers to be is, “Be safe on the roads, because just one mistake, and you don’t really know what can hap-pen!”
To nominate a Positive P driver, grab a nomination form from the Rox-by Downs Police Station, or BP Roxby Downs. Nomination validity will be checked.

Y ear 11 students at Roxby Downs Area School have undertaken a semester of electro tech-nology and Computer and Design (CAD)
giving them a taste of what they could expect in a Year 12 course.
Using three dimensional building modelling pro-gram ‘Auto Desk Revit’, Mr Hudson’s CAD class used a step by step process to not only design a house, but take into consideration the energy eff ectiveness of the building, appropriate materials to use, and appropri-
ate residents and location.Following the design process, students built a scaled
pilot model, and moved onto the electro technology phase with Mr Hassan Bhatti, to rig up the buildings with battery powered electricity.
Th e students had been learning about electrical circuits and applying the correct charge to the circuit, to light up their pilot models.
Th e semester of work will not only pave the way for students to carry on learning about CAD and electro technology in Year 12, but certifi cates I, II and III in electro technology as part of tertiary education.

St Barbara’s Parish SchoolROXBY DOWNS
During Week Ten of Term Three the Year Eights from St Barbara’s Parish
School, accompanied by their teacher, Miss Toole, Principal, Mr Hayes and parent helper, Matt Holder, set off on the much anticipated adventure to Canberra.
We departed Roxby Downs on Sunday night and flew to Adelaide where we stayed at Adelaide Shores Caravan Park, before waking up at 4.30am to leave for Canberra on Monday morning.
Once we had arrived in Can-berra we participated in our fi rst day of activities, including Parlia-ment House, Parliamentary Ed-ucation Offi ce Role Play, Mount Ainslie Lookout and the Austral-ian Electoral Commission. After a busy day of travelling and vis-iting many attractions we were happy to check into our accom-modation at the Capital Country Holiday Village for some down time.
On Tuesday, we visited the Na-tional Zoo where students were able to feed lions and giraffes and hold a snake-much to Miss
Toole’s horror! We also visited the Royal Australian Mint and the Australian War Memorial. After dinner, the Year Eights participated in rock climbing, where many students were able to challenge themselves with the support of their classmates.
Wednesday’s activities includ-ed visiting the Australian Insti-tute of Sport, CSIRO Discovery Lab and the National Museum of Australia. After tea we visited the Telstra Tower, where we had an amazing view over Canberra.
Th ursday was our fi nal day of activities, which included Cock-ington Green Miniature Village and Questacon. At Questacon, many of the Year Eights went on a vertical slide, falling from a great height onto a giant slip-pery slide!
Our fi nal day, Friday, involved travelling from Canberra back to Roxby Downs.
Th ank you to the community of St Barbara’s for all your sup-port with our fundraising eff orts. We raised over $4000 in total. Also a big thank you to Mr Hayes and Matt Holder for joining us and all your help throughout the week.

S tudents of St Barbara’s Parish School took to the runway last Friday, at their fi rst ever ‘St Vinnies Project Runway’.
Students jived onstage (some more than others) to their favour-ite tunes while proudly showing off their St Vincent De Paul clothing donations.
Th ey were asked to bring in clothing, bed linen and shoes in good condition to donate, and spared no expense in doing so.
St Barb’s student Lucy addressed the sch ool community at the event on Friday and explained the idea behind the show.
“Today we willingly share gifts of clothing, linen and shoes we no longer require to give to others in our community who are in need,” Lucy said.
“Today, we honour the work of the St Vincent De Paul Society,” she added.
“Th e St Vincent de Paul Society in Australia has more than 40,000 mem-bers and volunteers who work hard to assist the community and combat social injustice across Australia.
“Internationally, the Society supports 149 countries, and has over 950,000 members.”

Works are well underway in preparation for the St Barb’s end of year perfor-mance – Wonder in Aliceland.
Th e show will be held at the school gymnasium on Th ursday, November 21 at 7pm.
Wonder in Aliceland is a playful adaption of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, which critics have labelled ‘thoroughly entertaining’.
Adapted by Jo Denver and music by Don Wood-ward, the themed songs are fun, tuneful and mem-orable and are teamed with a fast paced script.
St Barbs Principal Tony Hayes said the school musical has been progressing well.
“Th ere is great excitement amongst the staff and students,” Mr Hayes said. “Some of the costumes are brilliant—wait till you see the hats some of our students will be wearing!
“Rehearsals for the musical continue, and our students continue to share their talents in such a positive way through medium.”
Mr Hayes thanked parents and staff that had contributed to the show, and said the project had been another example of community collaboration enabling students the opportunity to shine.
Tickets are limited to 300, and are priced at $10 each.

The Roxby Downs CFS Brigade will form now on don pink high visibility shirts while on a job, in aid of cancer
awareness and research.
Th e ‘Fight Cancer with Fire’ campaign was originally started by Woomera Emergency Serviceman Ted Tinker earlier this year.
“Th is started out as my little project to donate $10 per fi re call that I attend in 2013, and support the Cancer Council by wear-ing as much pink stuff as I can while doing fi re service type stuff ,” Ted explained on his ‘Fight Cancer with Fire’ Facebook page.
“With a bit of guidance from the Cancer Council it has grown somewhat into what you see now seeking sponsorship from in-dividuals and businesses to raise money and awareness for the Cancer Council,” he said.
Roxby Downs CFS volunteer Anthony Alcock cottoned on to Ted’s idea, and was prompted to get in contact with him fol-lowing his mother’s diagnosis with breast cancer.

One lucky local, Roxby Downs Area School Assistant Principal Miriam Alford attended an intimate acoustic session with interna-
tional superstar Jessica Mauboy last week, and came away with way more than expected.
After being given the tickets by a friend and fel-low Roxby Downs local Annie Potts, Mrs Alford had planned on attending the 80 person concert with her daughter.
However, once being informed of a strict over 18 policy, Mrs Alford went to see Mauboy with a friend.
With both women aboriginal educators, and Mau-boy an indigenous education advocate, Mrs Alford found she had a lot in common with Mauboy when she unexpectedly came up to say ‘hi’ during her show.
“She was so beautiful at the concert and she came up to my friend and I afterwards because we’re both aboriginal education teachers, gave us a hug and a kiss… and she wanted to fi nd out more about our aboriginal education program,” Mrs Alford told Th e Monitor last week.
RDAS have just opened a new Yakarta education room, designed specifi cally for indigenous students.
Mauboy’s message to indigenous youth is to go to school, be healthy, be who you are and be proud of it.
“She was just really lovely. She was really inspiring about making sure the kids come to school, because they’ve got to get an education and make the most of their lives.”
And as for the music?“She’s unbelievable as a singer… it was an acoustic
concert so there’s no whizzy bang fancy stuff going on – oh my goodness her voice was amazing! ”
BY MILLIE THOMAS
Miriam hangs with Mauboy!
“Basically it’s just to raise awareness of the cancer risks we face as fi re fi ghters, as well as for family members and friends that are aff ected by it, and us ourselves,” Anthony told Th e Monitor last week.
31 shirts for 28 local CFS volunteers was
purchased and delivered to the station last week, with $5 from each shirt going straight to the Cancer Council.
Volunteers will also be asked to make a donation each time the shirt is worn for CFS purposes.

The second biannual Roxby Downs Enterprise evening is being held this Friday night from 6pm on school grounds, with a huge line up
of goods and services on off er.
Th e Enterprise Evening was fi rst held in 2011 for students from Reception to Year Six, as a way to showcase students’ work in a more productive manner than the traditional end of year concert evenings.
However this year, the whole school is involved, along with an extended invitation to local commu-nity businesses and Market Day stall holders.
“It’s an opportunity for teachers and students to showcase their talents,” RDAS R - 2 Coordinator Mrs Sally Cormack said recently. “And the event is a great way for students to focus on something within the curriculum.”
All money made from the event will be used to purchase essential resources for the school, with 2011’s event raising approximately $5000.
Th e money was in part used to purchase and install outdoor seating for students during lunch and recess time, after brainstorming and discussion between student and school leaders.
Th e end of night art auction attracted high bid-ders in 2011, with one piece of work selling for $250.
The whole community is welcome
RDAS kindly reminds … it’s an alcohol free event!

This year for enterprise evening our class has been busy planting,
making sauces and chutneys and drawing up a grid for the 20 cent slide game.
We have made a variety of delicious citrus sauces that in-clude lime, lemon and orange. We have also made tomato chutney.
Before making these sauc-es and chutney we planted a variety of herbs which include chives, peppermint, thyme, basil, parsley (curly or flat leaf ), fl owers, succulents, cac-tus’s and more. We learnt a lot about plants and their life cy-cle during Science last term. Did you know that the fl ower is the reproductive organ of a plant?
For the 20 cent slide game we bought two planks of wood,
both for a girl slide or a boy slide. We grabbed a few black permanent markers for the lines and had heaps of fun
making the boards. You play by fl icking a 20 cent coin on the board and getting a price you win. Th ere’s a lot of proba-bility involved in this game, we looked at this in maths, along with income, expenditure and
profit! We hope our profit margin is huge!
We’ve been busy!

Mining
O lympic Dam will be expanded, according to South Australian Mines
and Energy Chief Executive Offi cer Jason Kuchel.
“Th e question is what is the timing and what that might look like,” Mr Kuchel told Th e Moni-tor last week
He said he was ‘very confi -dent’ the project would go ahead and commended BHP Billiton for taking a sensible approach moving forward.
“Th at’s why they are working pretty hard at the moment, and I
know some of the hard decisions they are making are eff ecting residents at Roxby Downs.
“But ultimately, those deci-sions that are being made are in the interest of getting the best possible chance of getting an ex-pansion up and running, as soon as is possible,” Mr Kuchel said.
“Although they are making some hard decisions now, that will actually, ultimately, stand that project in very good stead.”
He said a more viable long term approach to expansion would ensure that a decision by the BHP Billiton Board would
be an easy one.“I think they are taking an ap-
proach which will ensure that the decision making of the BHP Billiton board will actually be an easier one than what it was last time,” he said.
“One of the important things is that the more profit that the mine can make ,the more quickly you can pay off any new investments, and that in turn, makes it easier for a board to make a decision about expan-sion.”
Mr Kuchel said he expected BHP Billiton to make a decision
on expansion within the current timeframe of their indenture agreement, approximately two years from now.
“It’s our expectation … that they would be trying to do something within the timeframe of their current indenture agree-ment.”
Mr Kuchel said the Olympic Dam deposit remained one of the richest on earth.
“To the owner of course it is what would be considered to be one of the best, world class copper gold assets that there are known on the planet today.”
L ast week The Monitor spoke with South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy CEO Jason Kuchel about the future of the South Australian mining industry.
Although spending on mineral exploration in South Australia has declined, oil and gas exploration is on the rise. That topped with huge demand from China for uranium will drive South Australia forward.
And Olympic Dam will be expanded, Mr Kuchel said. It’s just a matter of how and when. By Gail Heritage
What will the future bring?
The new Federal Government will intro-duce an exploration development tax incentive to encourage junior minors to
continue exploration.
Th e new system, expected to start from Tues-day, July 1 2014, would enable explorers to pass on tax credits to shareholders before any earn-ings were received.
“Th e bottom line is that this system would enable explorers to pass through their tax credits that they are eligible for, but can’t claim because they don’t have any income yet on what they have found, but pass that through to sharehold-ers,” SACOME’s Jason Kuchel said.
“Th at in eff ect gives them a dividend.”He said a similar scheme in Canada had in-
creased junior exploration in the country. “Since the mid-nineties, Australia’s share
of global exploration spend has dropped from around 20 per cent to around 12 per cent. Over the same period Canada spend has gone from around 13 to 18 per cent for the same period,” he said.
”Th at’s because they have what they call a fl ow through share scheme – it’s the same concept.”
He said the new scheme would make a very big diff erence to SA.
“Every state will benefi t of course but SA probably, more so than others, because we ha-ven’t had as many mines, and therefore we have more ‘greenfi eld explorers’,” he said.
“It’s the greenfi eld explorers - the junior ex-plorers … they are the ones that are set to benefi t most.”
Mr Kuchel said the Government has promised to start the scheme from Tuesday, July 1, 2014.

O il and gas exploration in South Australia is enjoying growth while mineral exploration
declines.“We are certainly still seeing explo-
ration activity … (but) exploration has dropped off somewhat, particularly for iron ore and copper,” SACOME CEO Jason Kuchel said.
“In terms of our overall exploration across all commodities, the oil and gas has done a fantastic job in actually keeping up the overall expenditure,” he said.
“Minerals has gone backwards, but oil and gas has more than made up for that.”
He said $350 million was recently committed around joint ventures in the Cooper Basin, and various companies had also been signifi cant investments
into the future of the industry in SA.“Th ere has also been signifi cant an-
nouncements around joint ventures in the Cooper Basin, and obviously over the last 12 months we’ve seen the likes of Chevron committing around $350 million into exploration up there.”
“And of course, although not quite up in your neck of the woods, we also have the likes of Santos and a couple of other companies as well, who have just been granted exploration licenses in the Great Australian Bight,” he said
“Th ere’s going to be many hundreds of millions of dollars more spent down in that area.
“In fact, oil and gas as a percentage of exploration now makes up 65 per cent of our total exploration expense by commodity.”
“Th at continues to be very positive.”
Oil and gas the next big thing
By Gail Heritage.
A recent rally on the steps of Parliament House protesting the
porposed Rex Minerals copper mine near Ardrossan could take away a huge eco-nomic boom for the region.
Residents gathered on the steps of Parliament House on North Terrace in Adelaide last Th ursday, saying the pro-posed copper mine would ruin tourism, lower land prices and degrade prime farming land.
SACOME’s Jason Kuchel said the perception that the area would be overrun by several mines was a ‘furphy”’
“There’s often this view in the community that they are going to be overrun by mining, and the reality is it couldn’t be further from that perception,” Mr Kuchel said.
“We don’t dismiss anyone’s concerns, everybody’s con-cerns should be taken seri-ously,” he said.
He said the reality was, tak-ing a proposed mine through to production was ‘really hard’.
“The reality is that many projects don’t end up getting up … the reality is (that point) it is really hard to get to, to fi rst fi nd an economical de-posit that can be mined, and secondly go through all the
processes to mine that.”“If only it was that easy.”He said objections from a
‘vocal minority’ could destroy what could be an economic boom for the ‘silent majority”’
“It’s really important that the silent majority don’t just assume that these projects will get up, because without the support, many of these projects won’t get up,” he said.
“If 95 per cent of the people are in favour but they don’t’ say anything – they may well miss out on the job opportu-nities and the economic bene-fi ts that could otherwise come from the potential mine.”

China’s demand for uranium could help secure the future of Olympic Dam as
the country’s thirst for power continues to climb.
South Australian Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Offi ce Jason Kuchel said the potential for growth in the nuclear power sector was simply staggering.
He said the Chinese leadership was serious about tackling the country’s renowned air pollution problems, which one of the key concerns for their residents.
Mr Kuchel said the country had already committed to building up to 120 nuclear power plants and
this was only a ‘drop in the ocean’.“Over the period of time they
will be introduced that will in-crease their reliance on nuclear power from around 2.5 per cent to three per cent, at best.
“I think they will have to seri-ously consider increasing that at least tenfold.”
“Those nuclear power plants alone will drive up demand for uranium.
“That’s why I say in next 18 months two years there will be a turnaround for uranium,” he said.
“If they want to get serious there really is no other way or alternative to deal with their growing air pol-lution problem.”
“Those 80 or even 120 don’t event make a dent - it’s a drop in the ocean.”
“Certainly when they had their peak through 10-11-12 per cent growth they were commissioning one coal fi red power station every day.
“Th ey were installing more coal-fi red power capacity in one year than what we have in Australia, full stop.
“Th ere really is no other solution for them than to actually build nu-clear power plants at a much faster rate.
“Th at is already a fantastic thing for our industry.”

Interest in the new Community Learning Places Program has been high with two sessions on
Exploring Goals and Aspirations, and Career Pathways and Resume Development already held. The next session, which will take place on Monday, November 18, will focus on Learning About Cars.
The Community Learning Places Program is aimed at parents looking to return to the workforce after a period of absence, new migrants looking to enter the workforce and women who have been unemployed for some time.
"Learning about cars is an important life skill and gives people confi dence.
We felt that this would complement the program and give participants ex-tra skills. Participants have already ex-pressed an interest in a Truck Driving Simulator Session and this is one area we may include in the second half of the program which will take place ear-ly next year", Michelle Hales, Manager Corporate Strategy and Governance said.
Th ere are three sessions left for this year. Places are limited and bookings are essential.
For more information, or to register, please contact Sasha Yantewo on 8671 0010 or via email to: [email protected].

A rcoona Street is a main thor-oughfare for Roxby traffic; frequented by vehicles and
pedestrians alike.
Th e six nature strips in the centre of the road will be upgraded in the next few weeks. Th ese works will include the construction of a post and wire fence through the centre of each nature strip.
Native trees and shrubs will be plant-ed either side of the fencing, acting as a barrier and beautifying the area.
Due to community members using the nature strips as a walkway, commu-nity safety is a leading reason for these
works taking place. “We want to encourage people to
cross the road at designated crossing points, instead of via the Arcoona Street nature strips. It is hoped residents ap-preciate the importance of directing pe-destrian traffi c appropriately to these crossings,” Peter Keller, Manager Mu-nicipal Works said.
Th ere will be no traffi c restrictions on Arcoona Street whilst the construction and planting works take place. It is ex-pected the works will be completed by mid December.
For further information please direct enquiries to Peter Keller 8671 0010.

E arlier this year the Roxby Library conducted a survey, asking patrons to give feedback about the types of magazines they’d like to
see available in the library for loan.
Comm Library introduces new magazine titles
A s the temperature soars with the onslaught of summer and the use of air conditioners and evaporative coolers
becomes more frequent, many residents may be struggling with large utility bills.
While air conditioner use is necessary in our desert environment, a review of your house-hold’s energy and water use may fi nd areas of waste which if remedied may add up to big sav-ings on bills.
It could be as simple as turning off appliances at the wall when not in use to save on ‘phantom power usage’ or installing more effi cient water-ing systems in the garden.
Th e Roxby Downs Community Library has a Home Energy Toolkit for loan to residents which has instructions and temperature and power metres which can be used to conduct a home audit.
Doing an audit takes under an hour and can be a fun and informative activity to do with your entire family. Th e toolkit lets you calculate in dollar terms how much individual appliances cost per hour of use which is a very powerful way of understanding how bills can add up.
While money may be the biggest incentive to look at energy and water use, reduced energy and water use is also better for the environment.
For more information about the energy tool kits or to reserve one for loan visit the Com-munity Library which is open from 9am to 5pm on weekdays and from 9.30am till noon on Saturday.
Tired of big energy and water bills?
This survey has given library staff a chance to review the current magazine col-lection and establish what their members and visitors are interested in reading.
Th e survey was well supported by the public, which asked people to give ideas on other titles they would like to see available for library loan.
Th e results found that library members wanted a variety of non-fi ction magazine such as Smart Investment, Australian Pho-tography, Australasian Dirt Bike, as well as a variety of health and children’s magazines.
Kimberley Hargrave, Community Librar-ian explained, “Th e survey has given library
staff a chance to promote to the public that
libraries aren’t just about books; they also
provide communities with access to valu-
able information from regular non-fi ction
publications, such as magazines.”
Th e diverse new range of magazines will
be on shelves and available for library loan
in coming weeks.
If you haven’t already visited the new li-
brary, now is a good time. Come in and look
at some of the new magazines, and provide
staff with suggestions and feedback.

Young RoxFM volunteer Colin Williamson has been nom-inated for the Community
Person of the Month award for September.
The Community Person of the Month Award is supported by Big Sky Credit Union and the Roxby Downs Community Board, and recognises locals that go above and beyond the call of service to support their com-munity.
Colin moved to Roxby Downs in April last year, and wasted no time getting involved.
“Well that started off with my ‘Rox in the Box’ radio show, and that’s how everybody got to know me in town,” Colin explained.
Colin, who also works at Wool-worths, said he thought he may one day be nominated for CPOM, but didn’t think it would be so soon.
“I just enjoy being there for the public, entertaining them through my music and being there in Roxby Downs,” he said.
Colin Rox!Colin Rox!
Music featured on Rox in the Box on 105.5 RoxFM can vary – dependent on what the lis-tener’s, and Colin’s mood is!
As part of his acknowledgement, Colin has been awarded with a $100 Big Sky voucher, to be donated to a charity or organisation of his choice.
“I want to give it to Arid Recovery because
they look after the animals and it would be nice to see the animals survive,” he said.
If you would like to nominate a Community Person of the Month, grab a nomination form online at www.roxbydowns.com or email Sasha Yantewo at Roxby Council at [email protected].

With 35 young people in attendance and fea-turing swimming, giant beach balls, delicious Mexican food, cricket, X-box, Wii and the young DJ genius that is Alex Tregeagle, the event was deemed a success by all.
Other great events hosted by the YAC in 2013 were the Gaming Night in May, and Roxby’s Got Talent which attracted an audience of 130 people plus ten young and talented acts. Th e group has also been involved in fundraising schemes and have contributed to the development of the Roxby Downs Public Health Plan. Watch out for their radio show coming out in February 2014 which will be all about the youth – YAC it Up!

PRESENTATION NIGHT &
AGM
16th November 2013Roxby Golf Club
Dinner: $40.00 per head6pm for 6.30pm start.
RSVP Ann Shieldsby 12th November [email protected]
On Saturday, November 9 the Roxby Districts Cricket Association representative
team travelled to Port Augusta to play the fi rst of our three season 2013/14 Intercity games against an almost full strength Port Augusta line-up.
On a cool day, with a strong wind blowing from the south, Port Augusta won the toss and elected to bat fi rst.
Roxby made a strong start with Boulton and S. Holbrook removing both openers in their fi rst overs to have Port Augusta at 2/0.
Th ings continued to improve for Roxby with a further two wickets reducing Port Augusta to 4/17 after six overs. However T. George and R. Leith then went about stabilising the innings, putting on 134 before L. Holbrook got the much needed break-through.
At 5/151 Roxby were still in a good position however with 113 from T. George, 70 from L. Bury and 51 from M. Dyson Port Augusta ended with 7/299 from their 50 overs. Best with the ball from Roxby were A. Boulton 4/54, L. Holbrook 2/47 and S. Hol-brook 1/50.
Roxby’s innings got off to a reason-able start against some quality fast bowling from young gun L. Bury and the ever green R Coulthard.
Even after the loss of a couple of
quick wickets, at three for 41 Roxby were still in the hunt but the wicket of D. Fisher for 25 made things more diffi cult.
A 63 run partnership between S. Holbrook (31) and P. Ross (39) re-turned some respectability to the score with Roxby bowled out for 147 in the 43rd over. Best with the ball for Port Augusta were R. Coulthard 3/15, C. Edson 2/27 and C. Shirley 2/9.
Th is weekend sees Roxby take on Whyalla under lights at home on Sat-urday night with the game starting at 3.30pm.
Please come down and support the team as they look to bounce back. With the return to playing under lights using a white ball hopefully the teams catching improves as 11 dropped catches against Port Augus-ta doesn’t help anyone win a game of cricket.
Th e only local A Grade game on this weekend other than the association game is OD versus Rogues in a T20 Friday night from 7pm.
Olympic Dam will be keen to bounce back after their loss in the previous game played between the two teams. If both teams are near full strength it should be a great game of cricket.

Volunteers make night meetBy Millie Thomas
The annual Roxby Downs Desert Motocross Club night meet went off with a bang on the weekend, with over 1000 people attending the renowned event.
However, club President Clint Gow-Smith said the event’s success is due largely to the additional volunteer help in the lead up to and on the night.
“Th is year it’s just been about all the extra help we’ve been getting around the club, it’s just awesome,” he said. “All the dads getting involved, it’s just made it so much easier. We had a lot of work to do.”
Mr Gow-Smith said feedback received so far had indicated the event was an improvement on previous years, which had been the club’s main goal.
Th e night also attracted some of the State’s best motocross riders, with Gawler’s Luke Arbon taking out both the Senior Open and the Senior Light divisions.
Roxby Downs riders dominated the younger classes, with Taj Gow-Smith taking out the 65cc class, and Ben Dixon the 50cc class.
“What I thought was good was giving all the kids a trophy for their eff ort, that was pretty cool,” Mr Gow-Smith said. “Made them all pretty happy!”
He said the crowd was well behaved, and thanked Roxby for once again supporting the community event.
He also thanked all volunteers and sponsors of the RDMXC and the Night Meet.
