Roxby Council administrator Bill Boehm has taken personal leave from his
position.When � e Monitor went to print
on Monday, it was understood Mr Boehm had sought leave “for the short term” but the exact timeframe was yet to be confi rmed.
A council spokesperson claimed the decision was made in discus-sion with the State Government.
In the meantime, Geoff Whit-
bread has been appointed as act-ing administrator and started in his position last week.
“Mr Whitbread’s priority is to familiarise himself with the oper-ations of the Council and its on-going initiatives,” a Department of State Development spokeswoman told � e Monitor.
“Initiatives such as the public consultation of the Draft Sport and Recreation Master Plan and the upcoming consultation to de-velop the council’s draft 2016/17 Business Plan.
“As part of that familiarisation process he intends to make ar-rangements as soon as possible to
meet with community groups and other local stakeholders in Roxby Downs.”
Mr Whitbread has been a chief executive offi cer in both the pri-vate and public sectors and has 25 years’ experience in local govern-ment – including six months as CEO of the City of Marion.

BHP Billiton Olympic Dam has indicated that it is uninterested in any off er to construct a high-level nuclear waste
dump near its mine site.Premier Jay Weatherill last week released the
fi ndings of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Com-mission, which strongly recommended that a waste repository be constructed somewhere in South Australia.
InDaily last week revealed that Olympic Dam had been mentioned in informal talks within the State Government as a potential location.
However, a BHP Billiton spokesperson told � e Monitor the company was yet to receive any offi cial requests.
“BHP Billiton has a long history in South Australia and is proud of its contribution to the local, regional and state economy,” the spokesperson said.
“� e Olympic Dam copper mine produces uranium, gold and silver as by-products and is
a core part of BHP Billiton’s portfolio. “While we have a strong track record in
managing health, safety and environment risks – including in relation to uranium extraction, transport, and waste management – our focus is fi rmly on ensuring we are a globally compet-itive mining operation.
“Olympic Dam is not on the shortlist of identifi ed sites for a national waste repository for low and intermediate level waste, and we expect this process to run its course.
“To date, we are yet to receive any requests from the State Government.”
BHP Billiton gave its strongest hint that it was against the possibility of the construc-tion in its submission document to the Royal Commission.
“Irrespective of whether storage or disposal is preferred, BHP Billiton considers that either option would be inconsistent with our core business of mining and the production of high-quality copper and associated by-products at Olympic Dam,” the document stated.
� e mining giant has been actively involved in the Royal Commission process by making submissions, taking delegates on tours of site
and having asset president Jacqui McGill ap-pear at a Royal Commission public hearing.
“� e Commission provided an opportunity to present the facts, as well as the economic and social opportunities, of the nuclear fuel cycle,” the BHP Billiton Olympic Dam spokes-person said.
“It also enabled the South Australian com-munity to make informed decisions about the role of the nuclear industry in the state’s eco-nomic future.
“BHP Billiton was pleased to make a sub-mission, which included recommendations on reforms we believe will reduce barriers to entry to extraction and exploration of nuclear materials.
“� ese include reduction of regulatory com-plexity and duplication, as well as better plat-forms for information sharing.”
� e spokesperson said the company wel-comed the Royal Commission’s fi ndings as it was an important process for the State Gov-ernment to undertake.
� ey said BHP Billiton looked forward to participating in any further discussions about issues raised in the future.
Premier Jay Weatherill was unavailable for comment before � e Monitor went to print on Monday, but was quoted as telling InDaily that a nuclear dump site would be more likely to be built in more remote areas in the north of the state.
Meanwhile � e Monitor’s Facebook poll regarding the idea of Olympic Dam hosting a nuclear dump site attracted 14 votes last week.
Opinions were split down the middle, with seven votes each given for and against the proposal.
Among those voting in favour of the con-cept, one said: “Why not make some (money) from something we’re good at?”
“Better than Flinders Ranges, and there should be some people left that know about radiation,” said another.
MONITOR POLL: Should Olympic Dam host a nuclear dump site?

Lo c a l w o m a n Jade Wil l i ams represented Roxby
Downs at the Fashions at the Races state final in Adelaide on Saturday, May 7.
Held during Oaks Day at Morphettville Race-course, the event includ-ed a fashion parade and luncheon in the Moet and Chandon Pavilion.
While Ms Williams missed out on the top prize of a holiday to Asia, she said she had enjoyed being part of the competition.
“It was a great day, a nice sit-down luncheon and there were lots of great ladies to meet,” she said.
“Ever yone looked amazing – yo u can just tell there’s so much eff ort and thought going into everyone’s outfi t.
“It was definitely a tough competition.”
Ms Williams wore a
white dress and cape jacket with a black bag and a deep red fascina-tor, shoes and gloves.
Her outfit was pur-chased online (mainly ASOS) apart from her shoes, which she bought in Adelaide.
“I just kind of pieced it together,” she said.
Ms Williams sought out a horse-shaped bag to add a whimsical touch to her entry.
“I’d seen people with them on the racing cir-cuit before,” she said.
Ms Williams also chose a cape jacket to refl ect the popularity of the trend.
With this year’s Out-back Cup coming up in August, she advised any locals interested in entering the Fashions at the Races competition to dress for the season they will be in.
“Even though we’re in a warmer climate, it’s still technically winter, so you have to follow the racing guidelines,” she added.

Community Board restructure sees new members join up
WRITTEN BYPATRICK GLOVER
Forum members will have a bigger part to play in the Roxby
Downs Community Board following a restructure that came into eff ect last week.
� e Community Board is now made up of a represent-ative and proxy from each of its 10 forums.
� is replaces the previ-ous approach of the board choosing new members from the community at large.
“� e 10th anniversary of the board last year acted as a catalyst to review the board’s operations and look at ways to make improve-ments,” said Community Board member Michelle Hales.
“This process involved gathering feedback from all the forums. � e key mes-sage received was that the forums wanted to feel more connected to the Commu-nity Board as the governing body.
“With this in mind, the board decided to change the way it recruited new members.
“� is new system means that their forum will always be represented at the board meeting, and has removed the previous problems the board had in reaching a quorum at some meetings.
“The new system also strengthens communication between the board and the forums.”
The restructured Com-munity Board of six new and four existing members held its first meeting last week.
“� is is the beginning of a new era, with many pros-pects for new ideas to be ex-plored and developed,” Ms Hales said.
“� e Community Board would like to take this op-portunity to thank the board members who have retired for their contributions over many years – George Gi-akoumis, Gaylene Crane, Mary Lewis and Cherie Gaskin,” Ms Hales said.
“� ey played a key role in planning for these changes.
“(Also) the board would not exist without the involvement of over 100 volunteers.
“We wish to thank them for their ongoing dedica-tion, enthusiasm and sup-port for our community.”

S t Barbara’s Parish School is a step closer to a new natural play space.
Staff , students and board members were presented with concepts for the project by an Adelaide-based company last week.
Programmed Property Services’ Mar-tin Crabb visited the school last Wednes-day to put forward his ideas for the play space.
Some of the proposals included ob-scure play equipment to enhance stu-dents’ problem solving abilities, along with a nature theme using objects that encourage creative thinking.
� e addition of plants and cultural paths was also discussed to help the children with their learning of particu-lar topics.
Mr Crabb spent the afternoon visit-ing all classes, talking to them about the concepts, environment and getting their ideas on what they wanted the natural play space to look like.
“I ran workshops with the kids on how to look after the environment, but I also
brought things they could touch and feel,” Mr Crabb said. “� e whole thing about the plants and bringing these items was to stimulate the senses.
“� e workshops were also interesting to hear the kids’ ideas.
“It is important they have a voice be-cause it is their space .
“If the kids have a voice and we listen to what they are thinking and implement some of their ideas, they can go ‘that was my idea’ and be proud of what has been created.”
Mr Crabb said his plans were all about getting students outside in light of a re-cent trend of children spending more time indoors on video games and in front of the television.
“It is all about getting the kids out-doors and making sure it is fun and in-teractive,” he said.
Mr Crabb said he was more than hap-py to get the process started by present-ing these ideas to the school, but would eventually hand over the project to local contractors to complete the implemen-tation of the plans.
He said St Barbara’s Parish School teachers had been excited about the prospect of the new natural play space and were thrilled to hear his ideas.
Planning begins for natural play space
S t Barbara’s Parish S cho ol s tudent s p a r t i c i p a t e d i n
National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) examinations last week.
� ey were hoping to repeat their previous success after managing an above-average gain between the 2013 and 2015 tests.
In particular students moving from year three to year fi ve showed substantial improvements in the numer-acy test.
St Barbara’s was recently informed of this develop-ment, which will see it in-cluded on the Catholic Edu-cation Offi ce’s list of schools
to have achieved this. Principal Bernadette Lacey
said she was hopeful her stu-dents could continue on with this success.
“� e students have thor-oughly enjoyed this year’s NAPLAN testing so far,” she said last Wednesday.
“Hopefully they can con-tinue to produce outstand-ing results as we have con-sistently seen throughout the years of testing.”
Catholic Education South Australia director Helen O’Brien passed on her con-gratulations to the school for its eff orts.

undertaking a number of activities as a way of celebrating Catholic Education Week.
Liturgies, plays, raffl es and a ‘switch off ’ – which involves the whole school turning the power off for a number of hours – are just some of the events students will get the chance to take part in this week.
This is the third year St Barbara’s has celebrated the week, and they will be joined by the Adelaide Diocese for the fi rst time.
� e week gives the dioceses a chance to share what hap-pens in Catholic schools with the wider community.
It is also a time to pause and give thanks for the eff orts of the numerous helpers who enrich them.
“It allows us to get every child together, celebrate their faith and acknowledge what makes them unique,” said St Barbara’s principal Berna-dette Lacey.
“During the week we cel-ebrate our Catholic heritage and education.”
Meanwhile Catholic Edu-cation Week offi cially kicked off last Friday with a dinner in Port Pirie recognising par-ticular people for their servic-es to the diocese.
Mrs Lacey was recognised on the night for her 25 years of service.

S t B a r b a r a ’s Parish School y e a r s i x
students’ artwork is currently on display at the Olympic Dam Airport with the hope of eventually taking the exhibition to Adelaide.
� e self-identity art pieces created by each student currently hang on the dividers around the old scanning area in the departure lounge.
The students have worked on their art-work since the be-ginning of last term, with each looking at an inspirational family member, revolutionary Christians, the Aus-tralian federation and world issues as part of the picture.
“The kids have all worked really hard on their self-image draw-ings,” said teacher So-phie Reid.
Student Jett Giles said he and his classmates had enjoyed working on their projects, while Lucy Moten said it was exciting to be able to see her work on the walls of the airport.
Lucy said the airport was a fitting place to display the class’s artwork, with the topic of identity and self-image displayed on a regular basis in airports everywhere.
“The Olympic Dam Airport was all for it – it is an awesome way to get the artwork out where the communi-ty can see it,” Ms Reid added.

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

The Roxby Downs c o m m u n i t y w i l l have the
opportunity to learn about and engage with Australia’s indigenous culture when the t o w n c e l e b r a t e s Reconciliation Week this month.
A number of events will be held next week to get the community involved – including a movie screening, art exhibition and a family-friendly evening.
“It is quite exciting – there is quite a lot on,” said NAIDOC planning committee member Anni Walsh.
“The Roxby Downs community is so diverse with its cultures, so it will be a great oppor-tunity for community members to learn and engage with the Aborig-inal culture.
“� ey can try diff er-ent food, learn how to weave or try creating some artwork – it is all about bridging the gap.”
� e Give up smokes for good portrait exhibition
is already on display in the roxbylink art gallery, while indigenous art-work is set to feature in the library corridor.
An official opening for both will be held on Wednesday before a screening of the Bun-garra Dance Company’s Spear in the roxbylink cinema at 7pm.
The feature film will appear alongside other locally made short fi lms as part of the Black Screen event.
‘Bush tucker’ includ-ing kangaroo pies and quandong will also be available to try on the night.
Kokatha man Peter Burgoyne will make a Sorry Day presentation at the Roxby Downs Health Service on � urs-day, May 26.
The event will allow community members to gain a greater under-standing of indigenous culture and history.
“� e message of Rec-onciliation Week is to build on respectful re-lationships shared by Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders and other Australians, which works in perfectly with
Sorry Day,” Ms Walsh said.
Locals are then en-couraged to attend the Reconciliation Roxby Style family-friendly event at the Community Youth Centre on � urs-day, June 2.
“� ere will be lots of diff erent activities to do, so I encourage everyone to bring their families down,” Ms Walsh said.
The day will include live music, bush tucker and arts and crafts.
Meanwhile NAIDOC Week celebrations will also be held again this year from July 3-10 but without the usual main street festival.

A ustralian Bureau of Statistics housing fi nance fi gures released last week show that lending to
owner/occupiers buying new homes is well up on last year in South Australia.
“Lending for new home building is up 12.7 per cent in the March quarter 2016 com-pared with last year, according to (the) ABS fi gures,” said Housing Industry Association executive director for SA Brenton Gardner.
“Lending for established homes was also up by fi ve per cent over the same period.
“This is great news for the residential building industry in South Australia as the industry has been languishing in recent times.
“� e lift in lending for new housing au-gurs well for growth in work on the ground later in the year and for employment.
“� e growth in lending for established homes also heralds a return to confi dence among the home-buying public.”
South Australia led the pack in growth in lending for new homes, being ahead of every other state.
� e number of loans to owner/occupiers constructing or purchasing new homes in the March 2016 quarter was higher than in the March 2015 quarter in fi ve of the eight states and territories: New South Wales (+7.6 per cent), Victoria (+3.7 per cent) and South Australia (+12.7 per cent).
Elsewhere, there were declines over this period: Queensland (-0.9 per cent), West-ern Australia (-23.5 per cent) and Tasmania (-31.3 per cent).
This is a large brick veneer home located in the Copper Sands
development. The property features four
bedrooms, the master with
walk-in robe and ensuite.The other three bedrooms
have built-in robes and ceiling fans.
A modern kitchen overlooks the spacious open plan family
and dining room, plus there is a formal lounge room at the front of the house.
Outside you will fi nd a paved verandah entertainment area, double carport under the main
roof and a large shed plus two garden sheds.
For the warmer months there is a fenced in-ground spa.
If you are looking for a home in Roxby, this could be the one.

SERVICE SAWASTE MANAGEMENTCOUNCIL OFFICE LIBRARY
A s part of an annual program, Roxby Council has donated library bags
to Roxby Downs Kindergarten. � e bags are decorated and per-
sonalised by the children for use during their weekly visits to the Community Library.
� e library visits focus on in-
troducing the library setting and giving children an opportunity to become comfortable with staff .
The visits promote literacy skills, language development and a love of books.
“It’s always nice to see the chil-dren so eager to come and see us,” said Sarah Powell, Team Leader –
Library Services. “We hope the children bring
their families back to the library to show them what they have learnt.”
� e Kindergarten children have been visiting the library since the beginning of the year and now in Term 2 have progressed to bor-rowing books.
Th a n k s t o t h e S t a t e Government’s Regional Youth Traineeship Program, Roxby
Council is hosting local Chelsea James while she completes a train-eeship in Business Administration.
Chelsea, 22, has lived in Rox-by Downs for 13 years and is four months into the program.
“Everyone has been really nice and it’s good to put myself out there as I’m normally very shy,” said Chelsea.
“I’ve been involved in many areas of Council so far including Finance, Works, Customer Service and I get to be a part of the Splash Pad project, which is exciting”.
Chelsea is the first trainee to be hosted at Roxby Council and financed through the State Government’s Jobs Accelerator Fund, which is offering young people in regional areas entry-level employment and training.
The program encourages young people to stay in their hometowns and set up a career path for the future.
Once the program is complete, trainees will receive formal accredi-tation for their eff orts.
Roxby Council would like to wel-come Chelsea to the team and we hope she gains valuable experience here.

The Roxby Health Forum is promoting the nationwide Food Allergy Awareness
Week this month.The event aims to shine a
spotlight on the seriousness of food allergies and to improve public understanding of this potentially life-threatening medical condition.
By increasing awareness, we can encourage respect, promote safety, and improve the quality of life of the people aff ected by food allergies and anaphylaxis.
Food allergy now aff ects one in 10 infants and about two in 100 adults in Australia.
Some children may outgrow their allergy, however some adults develop their food allergy later in life after eating the food without a problem for many years.
The severity of an allergic reaction can be unpredictable, although someone who has pre-viously had a severe reaction to a particular food is more likely to have another severe reaction to that food.
Someone who has a previous mild reaction to a food is less likely to have a severe reaction but the possibility is still there.
Someone who is allergic to a food but has not been prescribed an adrenaline (epinephrine) au-
toinjector still needs to do their best to avoid the food as reac-tions do sometimes become more severe.
� ere are more than 170 foods known to have triggered severe allergic reactions.
The most common triggers causing 90 per cent of allergic reactions in Australians are egg, cow’s milk, peanuts, tree nuts (such as cashews and almonds), sesame, soy, wheat, fish and shellfi sh.
Some lesser known triggers also include kiwi fruit, banana, chicken, mustard and celery.
Children often outgrow cow’s milk, egg, soy and wheat aller-gies during childhood. Common lifelong allergies include peanuts, tree nuts, sesame and seafood.
It is important to understand that in some people even very small amounts of food can cause a life-threatening allergic reaction/anaphylaxis.
Some extremely sensitive in-dividuals can react to just the smell of particular foods being cooked (e.g. fi sh) or even kissing someone who has eaten the food they’re allergic to.
Currently, there is no cure for food allergy. Avoidance of the food is the only way to prevent a reaction.
When a severe reaction does occur, adrenaline (epinephrine) is the fi rst line treatment for se-vere allergic reactions and can be administered via an adrenaline (epinephrine) autoinjector called the EpiPen.

Roxby Downs Junior Netball
WRITTEN BYRYNEISHA BOLLARD
S trong defence around the goal circles made all the difference during round
three of the Roxby Downs Netball Association’s A grade competition on Friday night.
The first game saw East Roxby take on Olympic Dam in what start-ed off as a close contest but ended with the Devils defeating the Roos by 15 goals, 40-25.
Both sides exhibited short, fast and strategic passing to bring the score to six-all at the fi rst break.
In the second quarter, Nicole Montgomerie (OD goal attack) se-cured the fi rst goal and was the main contributor to her side’s tally before half-time.
East Roxby defended its oppo-nent’s goal third well but needed to slow things down when passing into its own goal circle.
The pressure was getting to both teams as passing became less accurate, with centres Beth Elliott (OD) and Kelly Harris (East Roxby) capitalising well on conversion opportunities.
Jess Hassett (East Roxby goal at-tack) was managing goals despite signifi cant clearances and pressure from OD goal keeper Ali Knights.
However, the Roos were unable to get the ball into their goal circle often enough for this to prevent OD taking the lead at half-time, 17-12.
With both sides still settling their teams, a number of position changes were made during the break.
� e third quarter saw the passing tighten up, with the Devils using their bodies more in the centre third.
OD also paced itself around its goal circle to allow time for the right passing opportunity to present itself.
� e Devils improved their defen-sive pressure around East Roxby’s goal circle, but the Roos were getting around it to reduce OD’s lead to sev-en goals, 32-25, at the fi nal break.
OD goal shooter Tahlia Glover helped bring things home for the Devils in the fourth quarter, with the ball coming her way thanks to her teammates taking advantage of the poor passing decisions being made by the Roos.
� e second A grade match of the night saw the Miners defeat Horn-ridge, 69-28, in what was an enter-taining contest despite being a fairly one-sided aff air.
Hornridge applied strong defen-sive pressure in their opponent’s goal circle but the Miners were unfazed, with goal attack Cassie Weir shoot-ing well to see her side to a four-point lead, 11-7.
Goal shooter Joice Takaidza (Min-
ers) was a late but welcome arriv-al in the second quarter, when she made her role look easy despite the eff orts of goal keeper Bonnie Har-man (Hornridge).
Hornridge failed to feed the ball into its goal circle as well as it could have, with a number of diffi cult pass-es made to goal attack Millie Clarke.
However, Clarke did well to re-ceive the ball from whatever angle it came at her before getting it into the ring most of the time.
Goal shooter Ruby Haeta (Horn-ridge) started to fi nd her feet in the second quarter but was struggling to get close enough to the ring to be eff ective.
� e Miners had reached an 18-goal lead at half-time, 32-14.
Hornridge’s Christina Gutteridge was put on as goal keeper so that Harman could back up Haeta – who continued to improve in goals – while Clarke took a quarter off .
Gutteridge stretched and jumped as much as she could around Takaidza, and even managed a couple of intercepts in front of her, but the goals kept rolling on for the Miners.
Hannah Wurfel (Miners centre) excelled with providing defensive pressure in the centre third, along with delivering long passes accurate-ly and receiving the ball around the goal circle.
Her teammate Kelsey Hampel (wing attack) helped the ball down the court by being available for pass-es and getting them to the next play-er quickly and eff ectively.
Going into the final break, the Miners had powered ahead to gain a 27-point lead, 48-21.
Harman maintained her focus as goal shooter despite pressure from Miners goal keeper Sally Fuller, while Haeta also continued to shoot well for Hornridge.
The Miners proved too strong, though, with quick and effective passing decisions ensuring that the ball stayed with them.
� is week will see OD play against Hornridge before East Roxby takes on the Miners.
In the B grade competition, the Miners had a similar impact to their A grade counterparts with their de-feat of Hornridge, 40-18.
Hornridge goal shooter Alicia Lee and goal attack Ellie Siegert man-aged only fi ve goals between them in the fi rst quarter.
Miners goal shooter Ashlie Ali and goal attack Hayley Wurfel tacked on 12 for their side to bring the score to 12-5 in the fi rst break.
The lead grew to nine goals by half-time, 21-12, before reaching 14 in the third quarter, 29-15, and ultimately 22 by the end of the game.
In the later B grade match, East
Roxby went down to Olympic Dam by 30 goals, 26-56.
Karen Wegner (goal shooter) and Mel Emery (goal attack) did their best for the Roos, while on the other side of the court was OD goal shoot-er Sam Corneliusen and goal attack Madison Evans helping their side win the fi rst quarter, 13-7.
Anna Gubbin stepped into goal at-tack for OD for the rest of the game, with the change seeing the Devils reach a 12-goal lead at half-time, 25-13.
� is increased to 21 goals by the fi nal break, 40-19, and continued to grow in the fourth quarter.
East Roxby will take on Miners this Friday before OD plays against Hornridge in round four of the B grade competition.
One of the fi rst C grade games set for Friday night had to be cancelled after Miners White was forced to forfeit in light of a lack of numbers.
� e other 6.30pm match saw OD Green defeat East Roxby, 70-19.
In the 8pm game, Hornridge Pink defeated East Roxby, 48-25, in a game that was always going Horn-ridge’s way.
� is week’s matches will see the fi rst interclub clashes of the season when OD Yellow faces off against OD Green, Hornridge Pink takes on Hornridge Black and Miners White plays against Miners Red.

Local rider Taj Gow-Smith has started the South Australian Motocross Championship in
fi ne form by claiming victories in both of his junior classes in round one on Saturday.
Taj scored wins in each of the three rounds to take the 65cc 10 to under 12 years title, while his two fi rsts and a second secured him a victory in the 85cc small wheel class for nine to under 12 years.
His Yamaha Junior Racing team coach Shane Metcalfe said he was impressed with Taj’s eff orts on the weekend and was looking for more
of the same in the coming rounds.“Taj rode awesome this week-
end,” he said.“He has moved to a new level,
which is very exciting for his sea-son ahead.
“I was very happy with his riding and we look forward to the rest of the series.”
Taj said he came into the race feeling well prepared after a hard pre-season, but added that the nerves leading up to the heats were still there to be overcome.
“I rode smooth and consistent on the day and I am very happy with my results,” he told The Monitor.
“I would like to thank my local sponsors Roxby Fabrication &
Engineering, Australian Supply Group, � e Monitor Newspaper and MAITS for all their support.
“I would also like to thank Yama-ha Junior Racing, FOX, Yamalube, GYTR, Y-Aim, Dragon, SPMX, Rapid MX, Dunlop, EMAR, Ener-gy Logistics, Adelaide Motorcycle Recovery and Coast Yamaha.
“I wouldn’t be able to get this far without all their help.”
Taj heads into round two of the state titles with a 13-point lead in the overall standings of his 65cc category while also holding a fi ve-point lead over his nearest com-petitor in his 85cc category.
Taj was joined by four other local junior riders – Bailey An-derson, Ben Dixon and Aiden
and Jackson Way – on Saturday to give the Roxby Desert Moto-cross Club one of its strongest representations at a state cham-pionship meet.
Bailey competed against Taj in the 85cc small wheel nine to under 12 years class, for which he placed 23rd.
Ben came 14th in the 65cc sev-en to under nine years category, while Aiden Way finished 16th and Jackson 19th in the 50cc auto division two seven to under nine years competition.
Roxby Downs senior riders were also out in force at the SA Moto-cross Championship, with three riders representing the local club on Sunday.
Zac Bradbery and Trent Smits put in solid rides to be sitting sec-ond in the Motocross 2 Interme-diate and Motocross 1 Clubman classes respectively.
Both riders sit less than 10 points adrift of the leader in the overall standings in their classes.
After taking out last year’s Vet-erans B category, Andrew Swan-son made the step up to Veterans A thi sseason.
He fi nished 12th overall on the weekend, leaving him 32 points off the leader in the overall standings.
� e second round of the SA Mo-tocross Championship will take place at Renmark on June 4- 5.
