Dusty and Rusty Shows

Details
Thursday, 15 March 2012 06:33


Above: Rusty and Dusty promoting a good message - sharing safe practises around lead with local Port Pirie kindergarten children and Janet McWilliam, Ten for them Manager.

Dusty is a fun, clumsy and carefree clown character who has no idea about being lead smart in Pt Pirie. He plays in the dirt (and gets dusty – hence his name), He feeds his child ‘Rusty’ on the floor and he usually skips breakfast! He is practicing for his new Circus Show when he receives a delivery. It is a magic box that will teach him about being Lead Safe. The box has a flashing light and buzzer that go off every time Dusty is doing something that is NOT Lead Smart

Term 1 shows for the Rusty Dusty Shows were:
- Tuesday 6th March at Learning Together, Airdale and Pirie West Primary School
- Wednesday 7th March at Pirie West Primary School and Hannan Street Kindergarten
- Thursday 8th March at Hannan Street Kindergarten and Bubble and Squeak
- Friday 9th March at Hannan Street Kindergarten

Minimise Dust Movement; PLANT! MULCH! WET-DOWN!
It's advisable to keep the garden free of dust and loose soil that can blow around and into the house.
Things you can do....
  • Mulch down
  • Pine bark can be a good ground cover
  • Lay pavers, concrete or gravel around your home
  • Plant native ground cover, grass, shrubs, trees
  • Hose down paths, roofs, walls and pergolas
  • Water your garden
Householders can use sprinklers after 5pm and before 10am on any day. Driveways, Paths, Verandahs, Entertaining Areas, Childrens Play Equipment etc can be washed down anytime as long as your hose is fitted with a trigger nozzle.
