Arnhem Land runners lend a hand in New York

THREE athletes from Arnhem Land, who went to New York to compete in the city’s Marathon, turned disappointment into action as they helped the city clean up following the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. They are pictured at left cleaning up with IMP Director Robert De Castella. Justin Gaykamangu, from Ramingining, Grace Eather, from Maningrida, and Marius Clarke, from Gunbalanya, were among the eight athletes in the Indigenous Marathon Project (IMP) who had travelled to New York to compete in the annual event, however it was called off after they arrived. Undaunted, they worked with the Australian consulate to find volunteer opportunities throughout the city with continuing clean-up efforts. Continued Page 3 >>

BRINGING gas to Gove would certainly provide an opportunity to consider an independent power plant that meets the current and future needs of Nhulunbuy, a senior Pacific Alumina executive has said. Pacific Aluminium’s Chief

Operating Officer (Northern Territory) Duncan Hedditch told Arafura Times that this is something Pacific Aluminium would discuss with the Northern Territory Government and the local community. Mr Hedditch said that Gove Operations is 40-years-old and, as their operations and the town have grown,

providing reliable power had been a challenge. “We estimate that is costs Gove Operations around $20 million annually to provide power to Nhulunbuy and the surrounding community. A small amount of this cost is recouped by those paying for electricity. “We haven’t looked at this issue

in detail at this stage and there are potentially a number of different options, so it is difficult to estimate potential cost savings.” Gove Operations would be profitable in the current market following the business improvements being made and if operating on gas. Although the company is unable

to provide commercial information about operating costs, the difference between imported oil and local gas is significant. “Under the present circumstances while operating on oil, Gove Operations has been making significant cash losses,” Mr Hedditch said. Continued Page 3 >>

Yothu Yindu to be inducted into ARIA Hall of Fame SONS of Arnhem Land have seen their cultural impact put them into the ARIA Hall of Fame. Yothu Yindi turned anger over indigenous rights into a Top 40 hit as the collective of Aboriginal and non-indigenous musicians, led by Australian of The Year Mandawuy Yunupingu, stormed the charts worldwide with the unforgettable anthem Treaty. Written by Paul Kelly with the north-east Arnhem Land band and then Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett it swept the ARIA Awards in 1992 and spent almost six months in the Australian charts. It was inspired by Yunupingu’s frustration with the lack of progress on the treaty promised by

Prime Minister Bob Hawke in 1988. “Bob Hawke visited the Territory. He went to the Barunga festival and he made a promise that there shall be a treaty between black and white Australia,’’ he explained. “A couple of years later, Paul Kelly visited me in Arnhem Land and sitting around the camp fire I said ‘Let’s write a song about a treaty’ and that’s where it was born.’’ It is 20 years since Treaty was Song Of The Year and ARIA CEO Dan Rosen said despite suffering serious renal disease, Yunupingu would attend along with the entire band including his nephew Gurrumul. Kelly and Garrett are also believed to be invited to share in a special tribute

to Yothu Yindi. “There was almost a need in Australia at that time for a band like Yothu Yindi and a song like Treaty to express what a lot of people were feeling and push that out not only in this country but around the world,’’ he said. “I hope their induction

can bring some of the issues that haven’t been resolved back to the table.’’ The ARIA Awards will be televised on Go! on November 29 from the Sydney Entertainment Centre where Taylor Swift will share a stage with Jessica Mauboy, 360, Hilltop Hoods, The Temper Trap and more.

Yothu Yindi have released six albums in total; their debut album Homeland Movement in 1989 (featuring the breakthrough single Mainstream), followed by Tribal Voice in 1991, Freedom in 1993, Birrkuta - Wild Honey in 1996, One Blood in 1998 and Garma in 2000.

Everyone benefits from clean fuel supply

<< From Page 1

Mr Hedditch was responding to questions following last week’s announcement that Pacific Aluminium Gove Operations are under review to examine their options in Gove and the possibility of a gas supply coming to Gove and what it would mean to the region. Mr Hedditch said that, apart from the economic benefits, conversion to gas would significantly improve Gove’s environmental performance. This would include: • Sulphur dioxide emissions would be reduced by approximately 40,000 tonnes per annum - more than 99 per cent. • By removing their dependence

on imported heavy fuel oil. they would also eliminate the risks associated with transporting and storing more than 500,000 metric tonnes of heavy oil fuel annually • The use of gas to produce power and steam needed to operate the refinery would also reduce carbon emissions in the Northern Territory by 10 per cent for stationary emissions • A move away from heavy fuel oil would also significantly improve Nhulunbuy’s visual amenity by reducing particulates. “We have commenced engineering design work in relation to converting the refinery to gas. “There is still more work to do, however, at this early stage we would

nance, in areas such as the fuel tank farm. However, there will also be new maintenance requirements with the gas conversion. The review will consider the operating and maintenance requirements if there was a conversion to gas, however no significant difference in manning is likely. When the Arafura Times asked would there be a consideration of selling the mine without the plant, Mr Hedditch says this is a matter for Rio Tinto as part of the divestment process. “However, the mine and refinery have always been operated as a package. “The business improvements

Pacific Aluminium’s COO NT Duncan expect gas conversion of the refinery to take about 12 months,” he said. The conversion from heavy fuel oil to gas would mean less mainte-

being made at site, converting the refinery to gas and increasing bauxite export would all help make the entire operation attractive to a potential new owner,” he said. When asked how much longer would the gas supply extend the life of the plant, he said Gove Operations has a further 40 years to run on its existing leases. “We have good reserves of bauxite and further exploration would likely identify additional reserves. “Therefore, we believe Gove Operations could have a very long life that provides long-term benefits for our business, employees, local businesses, Nhulunbuy and the Northern Territory,” Mr Hedditch said.

Businesses quantify possible outcomes if plant closes BUSINESSES in East Arnhem have been asked to supply details of the effect the possible closure of the Pacific Aluminium plant could have on their operations. The East Arnhem Regional Futures’ Alliance, created last week as a direct result of the announcement by Gove Operations that one of the options they were considering in their review was a possible mothballing of the refinery, invited businesses to a meeting on Friday. Chaired by Klaus Helms, all those present were urged to fill out a survey, prepared by the East Arnhem Chamber of Commerce, indicating what they anticipated if the plant were to close as a result of the review which is due to be finalised in January. Urgency is of the essence as

the figures will be used so that the collective responses can be useful to lobby both the Federal and Northern Territory Governments with actual facts and figures rather than emotional reactions to the concerns faced by the regional business and broader community. Mr Helms said the Alliance was not there for negotiations, however, want to let the Governments know what impact the closure of the plant would mean to the region. He said closure of the plant would create a domino effect throughout the region as not only those supplying directly to the plant but also those providing services to those businesses and contractors would feel the rippling effect of the downturn. The Alliance needs to act swiftly

closure would affect the region. All businesses and organisations are encouraged to complete the survey and return it to Maché Eloff, Executive Officer - East Arnhem Chamber of Commerce NT as a matter of urgency. “This is not just for members of the Chamber but for all those concerned about the future of the Region,” she said. The deadline for the returns is this week so if you haven’t received a copy contact Ms Eloff (8987 1985 or 0427 616 145)’ email: eastarnhem@chambernt.com.au or call into the Chamber office 1st Floor, Endeavour House, Endeavour Square, Nhulunbuy.

and to that end the survey was drafted. The responses are strictly confidential and do not require names or personal details. It asks for details of the type of business, number of employees and whether businesses will be negatively effected should the plant close. It also asks how many employees businesses had 12 months ago, now and how many they would anticipate they would need to let go. It also asks if services, such as freight, airlines, power and water were to be reduced what the impacts would be on businesses. There is also ample space for further comments as the Alliance wants to be able to present a strong , factual account of how the possible

Time out for the whole family. with their babies. Baby’s Day Out is a chance for the whole community to show their support for babies in our communities.” The idea for Baby’s Day Out was born out of a 2009 survey which found one in four Australians find breastfeeding in public unacceptable. “Over 90 per cent of Australian women leave hospital breastfeeding babies, so it’s time the whole community shows its support and makes sure that these mums don’t feel uncomfortable when their baby needs a breastfeed,” Mrs Shore said. The theme for this year’s event, Meet Up! encouraged women, their friends and families to get out and about in their communities by gathering in places like parks, playgrounds,

beaches and cafes to share a meal or a snack thus sending a message to the whole community that babies have a right to be breastfed anywhere, anytime. “By participating in Baby’s Day Out, we can show the wider community that breastfeeding is a normal part of life for a baby. “Just as we socialise when we eat, so babies have the right to be included in their family’s normal activities and not taken away to have their meals or snacks in cars or toilets or under blankets,” said Mrs Shore.

N.T. news in brief New Ombudsman CHIEF Minister Terry Mills last week announced the appointment of Peter Shoyer as the new Ombudsman to replace Carolyn Richards in the important public watchdog role. “Mr Shoyer is well qualified, holding a Bachelor of Laws, a Bachelor of Economics and a Master of Laws qualification,” Mr Mills said. “He is a former Information Commissioner for the Northern Territory and has experience as an Acting Deputy Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Department of Justice.” Tourism Commission Legislation was steered through Parliament last week that will see a Tourism Commission established in the Territory. Minister for Tourism and Major Events Matt Conlan said: “The legislation will revitalise the industry for the Territory’s 700 tourism related businesses.” “The move will see Tourism NT reconstituted as a Commission,” he said. “Air North CEO Michael Bridge has been appointed Commission chair, and long-time Territory tourism administrator Tony Mayell will come on board in December as CEO. “This is the first step in returning tourism to the powerhouse industry in the Territory that it once was.” Comprehensive education Delegates attended the 66th Australian Council of State School Organisations national conference in Darwin last week. The peak parents’ organisation plays a key role in promoting schooling and highlighting the importance of a comprehensive education. Education Minister Robyn Lambley said: “A significant number of studies have shown that students who succeed in school are almost always supported by their families. “There has been a global shift towards parent-school or school-community partnerships to improve educational outcomes, particularly those from disadvantaged or marginalised backgrounds.” Addressing the ACCSO conference, Mrs Lambley emphasised the importance of students learning an Asian language and immersing in Asian cultures. Dire financial trouble Treasurer Robyn Lambley last week said the Renewal Management Board Progress Report shows the Government-owned Power Water Corporation is in dire financial trouble. Ms Lambley said remedial action was urgently

needed to save the Corporation. “The Progress Report has found that it is the single, largest contributor to the Territory’s fiscal imbalance problem and growing mountain of debt. “The Report says a review of PWC has revealed a significant shortfall in its ability to meet operating expenses and fund asset replacement.” NT Net debt to increase The Northern Territory’s Net Debt will increase from $2.7billion to $6.2billion over the forward estimates period unless there is a significant change in the Government’s financial direction. Releasing the Renewal Management Board’s progress report last week, Chief Minister Terry Mills and Treasurer Robyn Lambley said the Renewal Management Board’s progress report identifies the extent of the Northern Territory’s debt position and the capacity of that debt to drain revenue from future capital and service delivery programs. The report shows that interest payments, which totalled $239million last financial year, will blow-out to $460million at current interest rates by the end of Forward Estimates in 2015-16.

Council rejects roads

WEST Arnhem Shire Council has refused to take on responsibility for roads built under the country’s largest Indigenous housing program because they are likely to need expensive maintenance. Streets built in two communities under the Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program (SIHIP) were due to be handed over to the West Arnhem Shire last week. The shire’s chief executive Brian Hylands said staff had assessed the roads and declared them not up to scratch because they only have a single coating of bitumen and are likely to flood and fail. He said the Shire could not take on poorly built assets and the roads were likely to develop potholes within a couple of years. “I think that the SIHIP program should bring those roads up to the standard that we would expect,” her said. The Department Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs said roads built under the SIHIP program meet the Australian standard. It said the West Arnhem Shire is getting $400,000 in funding to maintain remote roads this year. Coalition Senator Nigel Scullion said councils should not have to bear the cost. “I’ve actually been out to Maningrida and the roads certainly in the new suburb that I’ve seen are appearing to have potholes that have started in them already.”

The car pictured above broke a steering rod early last week just up the road from possibly the worst residential road in North East Arnhem Land. Residents have taken to driving bush to get around the severely corrugated stretch of road that provides access to the new suburb of Buthan. Buthan residential area, also known locally as Humpty Doo, was built through the Federal and Territory Government’s SIHIP program. Throughout the community 90 public houses were built or rebuilt, providing Galiwin’ku with a reprieve from severely over-crowded housing. The lingering oversight in planning now seems to be this barbaric stretch of road, that hundreds of cars, including the school bus, are forced to traverse every week.

Laynhapuy Corp. back in business THE special administation at Laynhapuy Homelands Aboriginal Corporation has come to an end. The Registrar of Indigenous Corporations, Anthony Beven, made the announcement last week. The directors approached the Registrar for help shortly after transferring the registration of Laynhapuy to the Corporations (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) Act 2006 on January 12. Laynhapuy is based in Yirrkala,and delivers essential services to almost 1500 Yolngu people in 25 Homelands and outstations across north-east Arnhem Land. The special administration commenced on January 23. Some of the key achievements during the special administration include: • All outstanding trade creditors and suppliers have been paid in full • A full suite of organisational and operational reforms were undertaken • A new board of directors, including two independent specialist directors, was appointed and a new rule book was approved, and • A improved financial management and governance processes were put in place. “Laynhapuy is a very large and iconic corporation and this was a very complex special administration with many issues to resolve,” Mr Beven said. “Nevertheless the Corporation has undergone a complete turnaround and restructure in just over nine months. “This would not have been possible without the support of Laynhapuy’s members, staff and funders throughout the reform process. “Laynhapuy is a new organisation but it still maintains its original core values of Yolgnu people delivering essential services to their people in the Laynhapuy Homelands.” The directors who have been appointed to take Laynhapuy forward are: Barayuwa Mununggurr as chairman and member directors: Waka Mununggurr, Mayila Wunungmurra, Yananymul Mununggurr, Yangipuy Wanambi, Waturr Gumana and Djipu Burarrwanga. Leah Fricke and Bill Gray are independent directors. The Registrar thanked the special administrator, Gerry Mier from KPMG in Cairns, transition manager, Chris Marshall, and incoming chairman Barayuwa Mununggurr for leading the reforms at Laynhapuy.

Bawinanga asks for help

A MANINGRIDA-based corporation has been placed under special administration. Registrar of Indigenous Corporations Anthony Beven placed the Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation under special administration last week following a recent request for assistance by the directors. The corporation was registered in 1979 and is based in Maningrida, and delivers services under the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) program to about 500 participants.

Eclipse set to leave Gove in the dark Mossie season has blown in

GOVE Astronomers do not have anything planned for viewing the eclipse on November 14. Club presndent Ian Maclean (pictured right) said: “ A number of our members will be in Cairns for the event though.” “I have a detailed page on the eclipse and I am running a tour in Cairns www. everythingastronomy.com/totalsolar-eclipse-14thnov2012/ “The deep partial eclipse will be visible and very noticeable from Nhulunbuy and is still worth looking at. “The same safety precations apply as for the Transit of Venus with safe solar-viewing methods.” Mr Maclean said he had eclipse viewing glasses available on his website for just $4 and he posts them out free and offers discounts for bulk purchases With this link you can calculate just how much of the sun will be obscured: www.eclipsechasers.com/tseCalculator.php “By my calculations Nhulunbuy will have a 99 per cent obscured sun, good but not the same,” Mr Maclean said. “If I was in town, I would be heading out on the track that morning before first light. Permits of course being a

consideration.” Mr Maclean said details as to where to best see the eclipse can be seen on www.askthescienceguru.com/ the-total-solar-eclipsearnhem-land-nt From the eclipse chasers site details for Nhulunbuy are: Partial eclipse Magnitude (along diameter): 98 per cent Obscuration (surface area): 99 per cent Calculated results at this point: Calculated point at 12.183S, 136.7782E Mr Maclean said this is calculated for up on Mt Saunders in Nhulunbuy. “However anywhere you have a clear view of the sunrise at the horizon will be good. “Note that the sun is only three degree’s about the horizon at maximum, i.e. soon after sunrise. “You will have to venture south to see a total eclipse . “There is a link on my 2012 Total Eclipse page for performing calculations for the eclipse at a given point. “For a look at totality you would have to be at least at this point on the track out:

cCalculated point at 12.5941S, 136.5738E.” This is what you would see, if you have a clear view of the eastern horizon. 1st contact: 5:14:35.5 AM 2nd contact: 6:05:28.4 AM 3.5 Mid eclipse: 6:05:54 AM 3.6 3rd contact: 6:06:19.5 AM 3.7 4th contact: 7:02:01.9 AM 16.6 Calculated Limb corrections applied. C2=1.5, C3=2.9 seconds. Totality duration at this location was calculated as 49.7 seconds. The Sun will be about 3.6 degrees above the astronomical horizon for totality.

PREDICTED surges in salt-marsh mosquito numbers during this build-up period have prompted the Department of Health to ramp up aerial spraying. Nhulunbuy Corporation Limited Town Administrator Ross Theedom said the Corporation’s contractor sprays for mosquitoes roughly three times per week. Ross Theedom said : “I say roughly as spraying/ fogging depends heavily on weather conditions.” “If there is too much wind or rain, we do not spray. We spray both morning and evenings,” he said. “I have spoken to our contractor who advises that they have been spraying weekly over recent months. Director of Medical Entomology Peter Whelan said salt-marsh mosquitoes can carry the Barmah Forest and Ross River viruses and extreme high tides have created the perfect breeding conditions for these mosquitoes. “Salt-marsh mosquitoes lay eggs in the moist mud left when high tides have receded. After the eggs hatch the larvae take six days to reach adulthood and another three days to fly away from the breeding site,” he said. “This means we saw a substantial pest problem starting on October 25 and lasting till November 5, with areas close to large tidal reed swamps the worst affected.” Mr Whelan said October marked the start of the risk period for Ross River and Barmah Forest virus infection. “The next big tide of 7.87 metres in mid-November will cause another influx of salt-marsh mosquitoes starting in the last week of November.” Buffalo Creek, Nhulunbuy and Jabiru were areas affected. A list of areas where mosquitoes are expected to be most prevalent and times this will occur can be found on the Department of Health website: www.health.nt.gov.au The rest of the coastal Northern Territory can expect elevated numbers of salt-marsh mosquitoes near coastal areas and within 10km of large brackish swamps and larger tidal creeks and rivers. Mr Whelan says people infected with Ross River or Barmah Forest virus may develop a wide range of

Airport kiosk re-opens THE kiosk at the airport has stood silent for over six months and last Monday saw it reopen under the ownership of Blue and Evelyn Douglas. EverlyBlue Airport Kiosk opened its doors and visitors welcomed the expertly made coffees and snacks they could once again purchase. Blue and Evelyn are already well known to those who frequent the airport as they provide airport security. To help out for the opening, Blue’s mum Bonnie Wells, who now lives on the Sunshine Coast, has come back for a few weeks until staffing can be sorted out. Bonnie is no stranger to Gove or to the retail industry as she was the cashier who served the

Blue has worked at the airport for 20 years - first as the Ansett representative and then in security - and was interested in the kiosk as an avenue in promoting his interest in photography.

People in the Nhulunbuy and across the Top End experiencing mosquito pest problems are advised to: • avoid locations near coastal swamps and mangrove areas • avoid outdoor exposure around dusk and at night near areas of dense vegetation and other areas of high mosquito activity • reduce outdoor activity in the evening and at night if mosquitoes are present • use mosquito-proof accommodation and camping facilities at night • wear light coloured clothing with long sleeves, long trousers and socks between dusk and dawn in areas where mosquito bites are likely • use a protective repellent containing 20 per cent DEET or Picaridin as a supplement to protective clothing when outdoors at night in areas of mosquito activity • use mosquito coils, mosquito lanterns, and barrier sprays containing bifenthrin in patio and outdoor areas near houses • ensure children and animals are adequately protected against mosquito bites.

Remember the fallen on Sunday SUNDAY is a time to remember our fallen soldiers. November 11 at 11 am is the time the Armistice was signed after World War I in a railway carriage. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month was originally known as Armistice day and after WWII the name was changed to Remembrance Day to remember fallen comrades of both wars. Now it is a time to remember all fallen soldiers from all wars. Red poppies - signifying the poppies growing in the Flanders fields where so many had lost their lives is a symbol of remembrance on this day. The Gove Peninsula RSL will host a Remembrance Day Service at Memorial Park on Sunday at 11am and people will have the opportunity to lay wreaths and remember. Lest we forget.

Parliamentary sitting ‘a little feisty’ LAST fortnight’s sittings of the Territory Parliament, the first following the August election and change of government were, not surprisingly, a little feisty. What’s most clear after this fortnight is that the CLP are more concerned about profits than people and service delivery. The Territory’s economy is actually the envy of the nation, second-fastest growing after Western Australia. The former Labor Government had deliberately moved into deficit following eight surplus budgets in a row in a bid to stimulate jobs through infra-structure projects in the midst of the GFC. However, the CLP government are hell bent on returning the budget to surplus at any cost by cutting public sector jobs and programs and announcing over the weekend that power and water prices will rise - though no indication as to what the rise will be. Not everyone in Nhulunbuy pays for

power, but, for those of us who do, it’s cause for enormous concern. Of most offense is the fact that a review into the state of the NT’s finances has been conducted by a group of former hand-picked CLP cronies who form the Renewal Management Board (RMB), each of them earning around $200,000 on a six-month contract. The first report of the RMB is preceded by an odd disclaimer, “The views of the RMB are not necessarily those of the government.” CLOSER to home, our own equivalent of ‘local government’ elections will be held this Saturday, November 10, with a by-election for a position on Nhulunbuy Town Board following a resignation. Nhulunbuy Corporation Limited, the provider of municipal services for Nhulunbuy, is effectively a contractor to Pacific Aluminium under the terms of the Special Purpose Lease and therefore not a recognised local government authority.

Over 50s skip drug medication due to cost THE cost of medicines may become an election issue after a National Seniors survey found 21% of Australians aged 50 to 64 skip prescribed doses to save money. The result is in sharp contrast to the 12% of people over 65 who deliberately “ration” their drugs or fail to have their prescriptions filled. National Seniors chief executive Michael O’Neill said previous research showed that rising living costs have impacted mostly on over 70s on small, fixed incomes and

without superannuation but now Baby Boomers appeared to be struggling. “The findings confirm the vital role social security cards - such as the Commonwealth Seniors Health Card and the Pensioner Concession Card - play in ensuring affordable medicines for the over 65s,” he said. “With over half those surveyed saying higher drug costs would influence their vote, moves to curtail the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme could become an election issue.”

Cane toads may be their own worst enemy 60 million of these

Keep in touch…

stopped in Nhulunbuy alone

RESEARCH over two years may have found a way to combat the invasive cane toads as they found that cane toad tadpoles were attracted to the eggs of their own kind. Local organiser of PENO (Public Enemy Number One) erradication Cassandra Duykers said: “Professor Shine (University of Sydney) said the tadpoles probably sought out the eggs to kill off newly hatched tadpoles, which would otherwise compete for food. “It was eventually realised that the way the tadpoles found the eggs was via the toad’s venom. “Once that breakthrough was made, scientists quickly realised they could use the venom as a bait, which attracts cane toad tadpoles but repels native frogs. “Using funnels to trap cane toad tadpoles attracted to the bait, the scientists captured tens of thousands of young cane toads within a few days, and completely eradicated the toads from billabongs about 50 metres in diameter. “Trials have not been carried out locally but any break in the breeding cycle will have an effect,” she said. Frog Watch is conducting field studies in waterways across Darwin on ways to cut down numbers of the troublesome toad. Group coordinator Graeme Sawyer said a variety of tadpole traps are being used. “We may be able to eradicate tadpoles completely out of places. We couldn’t do that before.” he said. Ms Dukers said PENO breaks the cycle by removing adult breeders. As each female can lay up to 30,000 eggs twice a year, that is a huge impact. “PENO has been running for two years now and the total caught so far is in excess of 4000 toads,” she said. “If only half were female that’s 60 million toads that have been stopped in Nhulunbuy alone.” Cane toads were introduced into Australia to kill cane beatles but have now become a huge pest killing off local frogs, birds and native animals with their toxins.

NHS students get a treat at Banubanu

A NUMBER of the Nhulunbuy High School hospitality students fundraised to go to Banubanu on an excursion. VET manager at Nhulunbuy High Marlene Organ said the aim of the trip was for the students to see a different type of hospitality operation. “It was really nice for the students to have a relaxing day and have someone make their lunch after working so hard in their café at the school each week. “We are hoping to make this an annual event as a treat for all their hard work.” The hospitality students run a cafe for teachers and senior students every Friday. They also host a number of special lunches and dinners throughout the year and have also been seen at a number of private functions throughout town assisting with catering.

The online edition reads just like the print edition, plus the ability to zoom in on stories, photos and adverts of interest.

CHAMPAGNE SHIMMY IT WAS time for a girl’s night out last week as a champagne shimmy was organised to raise fund for the maternity ward at the hospital. The Arabian themed night was a great success and was organised by Jacque Knyvett, Megan Kennedy and Pauline Cassar.

More than 30 women enjoyed the evening at the Lions Club which was decorated in Arabian style with lots of colourful draping fabrics, candles and palms. The atmosphere was relaxed and intimate as the women enjoyed sipping champagne and nibbling lamb kebabs

One of the organisers, Pauline Cassar, said it was fantastic to see so many people getting into the spirit of the evening and getting up and having a go at some belly dancing moves which was lots of fun.

“Prizes were awarded for the best shimmy and the best dressed as well as a lucky door prize,” she said. “The evening was topped off the delicious orange cake and coffee. The evening was not only lots of fun, but also raised $700 for the maternity unit at GDH.

“Some of the funds have already been used to purchase 10 bedspreads to brighten up the rooms, and the rest will be used to purchase items that will help make staying on the ward more enjoyable, particularly for those women who need to be in hospital for an extended period.”

HALLOWEEN in NHULUNBUY

KIDS of all ages were roaming the streets last Wednesday night but all in the name of fun. Keeping up an ancient Celtic tradition youngsters, teenagers and adults visited houses looking for treats. The residents of Gove are never short of an excuse to dress up in fancy dress and Halloween was just another reason to shake the cobwebs off- or rather leave them on- their Halloween costumes. Definitely a must see in Gove is the Garland home in Banyan Street. Karen Garland and her family are probably already thinking of what they can do ready for next year. For the last 13 years the Garland’s have been creating their own house of horrors. They have two levels of fright. An early session for youngsters and some more-serious scaring for older kids later in the night. Many homes had signs up letting mums and dads accompanying youngsters know that they might find treats at that location.

Make sure that you think things through. You may be a little rash at the moment and poorly made decisions are not easy to correct. Romance. A romantic dinner will go well, so long as you allow yourself to relax a little. Choose a restaurant or recipe you are familiar with too ease the situation.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Children are our most valuable resource.

– Herbert Hoover

SOLUTIONS No. 123

VIRGO (August 24th - September 23rd)

You will be the centre of attention at the moment. Don’t forget that other people deserve special praise as well. Romance. A few words from your partner could have a powerful effect on your feelings. You should see the same in yourself.

LIBRA (September 24th - October 23rd)

An unexpected jealousy may disturb the peace. You will be the one who has to sort out the warring parties. Don’t choose sides. Romance. Your partner will be carried along by your enthusiasm and will want to spend as much time as possible with you. Remind them that you need space as well.

The winning Ramingining team who took out the Arnhem Cup touch competition on the weekend.

Tigers who lost to Ramingining in the final.

Ramingining takes out title for second year By BEC THOMSON RAMINGINING is still the only team to have won Arnhem Cup Touch Football tournament, after taking out this year’s event in Gove last Saturday. The win backs up last year’s victory in the inaugural tournament at Jabiru. N T To u c h , a l ong with Touch Australia and

Cameron Adams, decided to host the event in Gove this year. Te a m s f r o m R a m ingining, Elcho Island and Yirrikala travelled to town to play it out against two Gove teams for the Arnhem Cup title. Games started at 8:30am and ran through until lunch on a usual hot November’s day. After lunch the final round was played before

the Grand Final match between two undefeated teams all day - Ramingining and Tigers (Gove) after these two teams played a 10-all draw during their round clash earlier on in the day. With Ramingining running in a few tries in the first-half it was hard for the Tigers to play catch-up in the second-half. Ramingining came away with a win, titling

them the Arnhem Cup Champions for two years in a row - the only team to win the tournament. Congratulations to all teams that took part in the tournament and also to the amazing referees who refereed all day - Scott Morris, Rach Blundell, Stanford Forbes and Danny Dong (from Darwin) you’re commitment to Touch Football is very much appreciated, as you

know the games could not have been played without you so thank you! To everyone involved it was a fabulous day, thank you for making it happen. Hope to see you all playing it out for the 2013 Arnhem Cup title. For more information and pictures head to the Gove Touch Football Association Facebook page or our web page at www. gove.mytouchfooty.com

‘Awesome year’ for Surf Club By GREG WHELAN

ABOVE: Bernie Whelan life member, Chris Putland club vice-president and Sheena Rudolph life member from 2008.

ABOUT 80 people gathered at the Gove Peninsula Surf Life Saving Club on Saturday night to celebrate what has been an awesome year for the club. We have certainly recovered well from the fire in February, and our new clubhouse will be opened before the end of the year. We were delighted to welcome the visiting Yamba surf club for a visit this year and hope to reciprocate in 2013. The Gove team won the patrol

and pool comps at the Territory level and we came second overall at the NT titles and had seven age category winners. Our training team delivered over 70 awards during the year which is an outstanding effort from such a small club. At the recent beach volleyball day our lifesaver of the year, Denise Marrable, saved a young child from drowning. We also inducted four new life members into the very exclusive club, so congratulations to Stephen and Deanne

Castelli, Debbie Webb and Bernie Whelan and, as an extra bonus, our vice-president and present Gove Senior Citizen of the Year, Chris Putland, will be inducted as an NT surf life member at their awards on November 24 Next year the NT surf titles will be in Gove so we look forward to another big year in 2013 A big thank you to our awesome sponsors and the people of Gove who have been an incredible support throughout the year.

Australian Open tennis cups tour includes Gove LAST year the Melbourne Cup visited Gove and it was the turn of the the Australian Open tennis trophies to make a visit this year. Gove was the second domestic stop on the annual Australian Open Trophy Tour. Residents had the opportunity to get their photos taken with the trophies, perhaps inspiring some up and coming players to focus on the possibility of one day winning the trophy. The trophies arrived on Friday night in time for the black tie event organised by the Gove Tennis Club and then also the presentation night on Saturday night. On Saturday it toured around the town including the mine, Laynhapuy Aviation, the track, Mt Saunders and the Gove Tennis Club. The Australian Open Trophies - Norman Brookes Challenge Cup (men’s singles trophy) and the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup (women’s singles trophy) are touring Australia and Asia/Pacific. Fans had the opportunity to feel like a Grand Slam champion as they enjoyed their own photo opportunities with the Cups before they are presented to the 2013 champions. Tokyo, Japan, was the first stop on the tour on Tuesday, October 2,

the first time the Australian Open Trophies have ventured to Japan and also visited Beijing, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Nanjing and Shanghai in China. Last year the Cups visited more than 25 destinations Australia-wide plus three cities across China, covering over 80,000 km. The Norman Brookes Challenge Cup is named after Australian tennis champion Sir Norman Brookes and was modelled on an eight-tonne marble vase sculpted in the second century AD. It was first awarded to Fred Perry at the Australian Championships in 1934. Also known as ‘The Wizard’, Brookes made history in 1907 when he became the first non-British male to win Wimbledon. Winner of the Australian title in 1911, he also captured the singles and doubles titles at Wimbledon in 1914. The Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup is named after the first woman to dominate the Australian Open. Born in 1903, Daphne Akhurst was a pioneer of the women’s game before her premature death in 1933 at the age of just 29. Akhurst captured five Australian singles (1925/6, 1928 -30) and double titles and the mixed four times.

The Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup was first won by Joan Hartigan in 1934. Following the visit to Gove Peninsula the trophies will visit Launceston and Hobart in Tasmania, Ballarat in Victoria, Sydney, Canberra, Perth and

Adelaide before finishing their journey at Melbourne Park on Monday January 14 for day one of Australian Open 2013. Fans can follow the trophies around Australia online by visiting australianopen.com.au
