Spirits soar at Relay for Life ABOVE: Local Maddie Pearce sits trackside of the relay for a candle lighting ceremony last Saturday night, to commemorate the loss of loved ones. BELOW: Friends and families lit candles which burned brightly all night, each flame lit in memory of a loved one taken by cancer.

FAREWELL: After a long night of walking, at 8am last Sunday the final lap of Relay for Life 2013 was held. As it ended, hundreds of purple balloons were let loose into the atmosphere. A personal pledge was tied to the end of

each balloon, telling the ways locals would try to keep themselves healthy and cancer-free. More than 340 participants registered to be a part of this year’s Relay For Life, filling up 25 teams and raising in excess of $71,000 to help fund research into curing the terrible disease.

Carers and survivors of cancer walked proud and strong around Hindle Oval over the night of August 17 and 18, side-by-side with townspeople supporting their cause. Photos from the event, Pages 15 and 19. >>

Amended deal on Rio’s table: Giles By MATT GARRICK

RIO Tinto has been given a firm offer for gas, and the Territory now waits their response to see if the pipeline project will go ahead, says Chief Minister Adam Giles. In an interview with the ArafuraTimes last Sunday, Mr Giles said an altered deal was now on Rio Tinto’s table. In the days following news, Pacific Aluminium would no longer be divested and the refinery would go back under

control of Rio, the NT Government sent the renewed gas offer to Rio Chief Executive Officer Sam Walsh. This new offer means the government would no longer provide the diesel needed for a dual-fuel option, and instead put forward more gas, aided with the help of energy company Santos. The NT Government has now committed 175 petajoules gas for the next 20 years, alongside 78 extra petajoules of gas which could be provided by Santos. Negotiations with Santos are con-

tinuing and are said to be close to being finalised. Mr Giles said this offer stipulates that Rio Tinto would have to supply the diesel needed for powering the refinery by dual-fuel, meaning the Territory could raise their gas quota. A number of other gas companies have also indicated they would be interested in coming onboard to supply portions of gas to Gove in coming years. “A whole range of companies has offered to supply gas - it’s extremely exciting,” Mr Giles said.

“If Rio Tinto accepts this deal, gas utilisation would start on January 1, 2016.” This would mean by the beginning of 2016, the pipeline would be built and the gas ready to flow. “As soon as we get the go-ahead from Rio Tinto, it’s all happening.” Mr Giles said the dual-fuel option had originally been an idea of Rio Tinto’s, who had approached the government with the option. “This was put out there by Rio and Pacific Aluminium officials as a new

way forward.” He said he hadn’t expected the offer put out by his government on Picnic Day, August 5, to be met with such anger and criticism by local residents. “I thought it would be better received. “I knew the government hadn’t put out an update in awhile, so we felt it was time.” The original gas deal had never been unconditional, he said.

joined with current and former students and staff to mark the 40th anniversary of bilingual education at the school. About 150 people attended, including many former staff of the school from around the NT and interstate. Proceedings were opened by School Council chairperson and traditional owner from the Rirratjingu clan Bunumbirr Marika and Member for Nhulunbuy Lynne Walker. Director of School Performance for the Arnhem region Bryan Hughes attended as a representative of the NT Department of

Education. The event was held to acknowledge the rich history of the bilingual program at Yirrkala School, which gives Yolngu children the opportunity to learn through their mother language as well as English. It was also an opportunity to honour the legacy of Dr Marika, Dr Yunupingu and the many teachers, linguists, elders and community members who supported and contributed to the program over the years. The use of the students’ first language at school not only allows children to access education through

a language they are most familiar with; it also allows Yolngu adults to play a critical role in the education of their children. The event was in large part a celebration of the success of the Yolngu educators who have played, and continue to play, a central role at Yirrkala School. As part of the celebration, participants broke into groups and mapped out a timeline of the program over the past 40 years. A highlight was hearing the inspiring words of Beth Graham and Dundiwuy Wunungmurra who were the teaching team that taught the very first bilingual class

at Yirrkala School. Their spirit of friendship and mutual respect, teaching through both languages and helping their students to walk in two worlds, Yolngu and ngapaki (nonIndigenous), exemplifies the goals of the bilingual program. In summing up the celebration, Yirrkala School Principal Leonard Freeman likened the bilingual program to a baton relay; where each generation of students and staff pass on the knowledge and responsibility of maintaining and strengthening the program to the next group to carry forward.

Yarn Bombers exposed - well almost IN the week of Relay for Life, the Yarn Bombers have come out of hiding and revealed themselves; well, almost. After nearly a month of trying to discover the identities of the elusive street artists who had been busy crocheting sites around town, including the town clock, the Arafura Times met with the two smiley-faced bombers last Thursday. The bombers, known as YB1 and YB2, had been working to raise awareness for Relay for Life - an important event held to provide support for cancer sufferers, and help fund research for a cure. But how did they manage to remain anonymous for so long? “People in our close circle knew that we did it, but then it was interesting to hear other people talking about it, and we’d pretend we had no idea.” YB1 said completely revealing themselves could ruin the mystery, should they consider to do new projects in the future. ABOVE: Gove’s secret agents - the Yarn Bombers - YB1 and YB2. “I think we will strike again. BELOW: Yarn Bombers next to their work on the town clock. “We’re not doing artistic bombing; we’re doing for-a-cause bombing.” YB1 admitted she was responsible for brightening up other sites including at last year’s G-Spot Challenge and at the Surf Club. As for how the bombers managed to hit the newspaper’s company Jeep with colourful doilies a fortnight ago, they said it hadn’t been too difficult. “We just got up early in the morning. “We’d known the Arafura Times house because I used to frequently visit (former editor) Marjo’s garage sales, looking for wool.” So, as promised, the Arafura Times has donated $300 to Relay for Life, to thank the Yarn Bombers for their colourful work around town, and for meeting up for a yarn.

Amended deal on Rio’s table: Giles << From Page 1

There has been widespread community belief that the NT Government’s call to renege on the original Gas2Gove deal smacked of political opportunism, given it occurred with such a close proximity to the Federal

election and the almost immediate arrival in Gove of the Coalition’s Shadow Minister Ian MacFarlane. Former Chief Minister Terry Mills recently slammed the government’s decision to renege on the original deal which offered 300 petajoules of gas. “The original decision gave the se-

curity required for the Commonwealth to approve the financial underwriting of the 600km pipeline linking Gove with ENI gas reserves at Black Tip, off the Territory’s west coast,” Mr Mills has said. With a September 7 Federal election looming, only the Liberal

Traditional farewell for Dr Yunupingu FRIENDS and family from around the country have gathered to farewell Dr Yunupingu at a funeral in Yirrkala. The traditional Yolngu funeral began in the late afternoon on Friday, August 16, and was expected to go for around two weeks. A charter plane carrying Dr Yunupingu landed in Gove earlier that day, where ceremony was undertaken and he was

taken by a troopie covered in flowers to Yirrkala. Dr Yunupingu, who was the lead singer of Yothu Yindi and a prominent educator in bi-lingual education, passed away from complications of kidney disease on June 3. He is survived by wife Yalmay, daughters Yikanatjpi, Gayili, Dhapanbal, Batjula, Gandhurrminy and Bulmirri and six grandsons.

Meth. seized near Wallaby Beach A 28-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested after 10 days on the run from drugtrafficking charges. Police obtained a search warrant for a property on Melville Bay Road, in the vicinity of Wallaby Beach, where they conducted a raid on August 7. In the property, 35g of methamphetamine - known as ice - was discovered and seized, as well as 23g of cannabis. Senior Sergeant Brendan Muldoon said discovering such a large amount of hard drugs was not usual for the region. “It’s very rare for here,” he said. The offender evaded police custody until being arrested last Saturday, August 17. He was charged with possessing a trafficable amount of drugs, and bailed to appear in Nhulunbuy Magistrates Court on Sep- 35g of methamphetimine (ice) seized from a Melville Bay Road property.

Coalition government has put out a firm pledge that they will underwrite the construction of the gas pipeline. The Labor Government has made no concrete answer on whether they will or won’t support the new deal put forward to Rio, but say they are working through a due diligence

process as was the case under Terry Mills’s original Gas2Gove proposal tendered to all parties. Rio Tinto is yet to reveal a firm statement on whether they will or won’t accept any deal put forward by the government, saying only that negotiations have been continuing.

Green light for bauxite increase IT’S a new concept for the region, but residents have been urged to get used to it - red means stop, green means go. Police have reminded locals to adhere to the road rules when waiting at the new semi-permanent traffic lights on Melville Bay Road. The new lights began operating on Monday, August 19, to support a new intersection out near the turnoff to Ski Beach, where road-trains cross the road to haul bauxite from the mine to the refinery.

Senior Sergeant Brendan Muldoon asked residents to please be patient at the lights. “The movement of the road-trains has been scheduled by Gove Operations for non-peak traffic periods. “They are huge vehicles, so motorists must stick to the rules of the lights, or else be at risk of an accident.” Rio Tinto/Pacific Aluminium has said the increased bauxite will improve economic viability of Gove Operations before knowing if gas will come to Gove.

Gumatj pave way to own bauxite mine A LOCAL Aboriginal Corporation could soon be granted licensing to operate their own bauxite mine. Gumatj Aboriginal Corporation and Rio Tinto’s Gove Operations have signed a memorandum of understanding to carry out a feasibility study for mining on Gumatj lands in the region. Should the mine prove to be technically and commercially feasible, it would be owned and operated by the Gumatj Aboriginal Corporation. Gumatj clan leader Galarrwuy

Yunupingu welcomed the signing of the agreement at Garma. “This is something that we have been working towards for the past six years and demonstrates our commitment to self-determination.” Gove Operations General Manager Ryan Cavanagh said working collaboratively to foster economic independence for the Yolngu people is a key commitment in the Gove Traditional Owners Agreement signed in 2011. “Gove Operations is pleased to

offer our mining experience and expertise to support the Gumatj in their efforts to create a viable and sustainable bauxite mining operation,” Mr Cavanagh said. “We will work together to develop an exploration program to prove up the quantity and quality of potential bauxite reserves on Gumatj land.” Mr Cavanagh said this was an important step for the Gumatj to own and operate a bauxite mine on their country.

Fixed parts heat things up for refinery RIO Tinto’s Gove refinery is getting ready to ramp back up to full-production, with repairs on broken heat exchangers soon to be completed. The first of the 12 giant heat exchangers which had been down in Coffs Harbour, NSW, for repairs, was returned to Gove by boat last Monday, August 12. Gove Operations temporarily shut down one of three digestion stages at the refinery in March this year, after inspections identified concerns with the weld integrity on 12 heat exchangers. Inspections have not identified any issues with the heat exchangers in the remaining two digestion stages. A team of industry experts had been engaged by Pacific Aluminium to conduct a detailed investigation into the cause of the heater failure. A spokesperson from Gove Operations said that the remaining 11 heater exchangers will progressively return to site for installation and commissioning, enabling the refinery to return to normal production levels by the end of the year.

Repaired heat exchanger returned to Gove.

Three charged with drug trafficking

POLICE arrested three people for drug related offences during a recent six day operation in the region. Detective Acting Sergeant Ken Bradshaw said the operation, targeting drug trafficking in and out of communities, ran from Tuesday, August 6, to Monday, August 12, and involved detectives from the Northern Substance Abuse Intelligence Desk (NSAID) and members from the Dog Operations Unit. “A 23-year-old man was apprehended travelling to Gove, allegedly in possession of 220g of cannabis. “In a separate incident, a 30-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man were arrested with 150g of cannabis, destined for Maningrida. “Police seized 3kg of Kava in Ramingining and issued three Drug Infringement Notices and a Liquor Infringement Notice.” Police said they will continue to target those who take advantage of remote indigenous communities, particularly those selling drugs at extortionate prices with no regard for the health or welfare of the people living in Arnhem Land.

Boarding hostel may soon see light of day

AN East Arnhem boarding facility which has been pegged to be opened since 2008 may soon see the light of day. Member for Lingiari Warren Snowdon has announced work is commencing on the Garrthalala boarding hostel for Aboriginal secondary school students from the East Arnhem region. Contracts are now in place to engage Darwin-based company, Best Designs, to finalise the plans. Majority Aboriginal-owned Nhulunbuy firm, DRG Industries, has been engaged to undertake the construction and refurbishment of the boarding facilities. “The boarding facility will enable students to attend school within the Garrthalala Community. The boarding hostel will provide opportunity for students who wouldn’t normally have the chance to undertake secondary education. “It will also benefit the Homeland communities of the North-East Arnhem region.” Mr Snowdon said the boarding facility would be a testament to the commitment of the Yolngu people and their desire for their children to get a good education. The plans and designs will be finalised during the wet season, allowing for construction of the facility to commence early next year. “This project fulfils the commitment to the Garrthalala and East Arnhem Aboriginal communities for a boarding facility on country for secondary school students from the East Arnhem region,” he said. The work will include the construction of new buildings, as well as the refurbishment of the building gifted by the Geelong Central Rotary Club to the Garrthalala community. The new buildings will double the capacity, providing boarding places for up to 40 students. The construction at Garrthalala builds on the boarding facility now operating at Wadeye which is helping 16 students to achieve their educational goals.

East Arnhem Land rocks the NIMAs

ABOVE: The lead singer of Wirrinyga Band accepts their induction into the NIMAs Hall of Fame. BELOW: Winners of NT School Band of the Year, Rulku Band, from Milingimbi.

WHILE rockers Yothu Yindi may have stolen the show at the National Indigenous Music Awards on Saturday, August 10, there were plenty of other awesome East Arnhem acts recognised on the night. Accolades and awards were presented to the Mulka Project, from Yirrkala, and bands and musicians from the remote communities of Milingimbi and Elcho Island. The first band to hit the stage on the night was up-and-comer Rulku Band, from Milingimbi, who won the 2013 Best School Band in the NT Award. Next up, the Traditional Music Award was won by the Mulka Project, for their recording Wandawuy (named after the remote community where it was recorded), from The Mulka Manikay Archives. Program director for Mulka Project and sound recordist for Wandawuy Joseph Brady said the recording was made sitting by the river with a mobile studio run on just four AA batteries. “We went out to Wandawuy with a mobile recording studio and sat by the river with senior songmen and two younger men who were learning the songlines.” Mr Brady said the season was now ideal for making more Manikay (or song) recordings out in the bush. “With the wind died down, now is the time to head out by the river and record. “Some of the younger guys here at Mulka will be taking control of recording upcoming projects.” Crowd favourite Gurrumul Yunupingu, from Elcho Island, was presented with the Special Recognition Award to celebrate his continued high level of achievement and the path it carves out for Indigenous musicians. In 2013, Gurrumul’s stature and achievements have continued to grow, through collaborations with a diverse mix of artists including Flume, Yolanda B Cool and Delta Goodrem. He released his biography and continues to sell-out shows across the country and the world. Also represented at the awards were the legendary Wirrinyga Band, from Milingimbi, who were entered into the NIMAs Hall of Fame along with musicians Archie Roach and Uncle Seaman Dan. But the biggest accolade to an East Arnhem band on the night went to Yothu Yindi, who were celebrated with a huge tribute concert featuring original band members and some of the finest Indigenous performers from across the country.

Probably only at the annual Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair, which took place for the seventh time in Darwin from August 9 to 11. Yirrkala’s Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre, Gapuwiyak’s Culture and Arts centre and Elcho Island Arts were there to raise the flag for the East Arnhem region. Manager for Buku Kade McDonald said everywhere you looked in Darwin that weekend, much of the focus was on Yirrkala and East

Arnhem Land. This included local musicians and artists winning awards at the Telstra Aboriginal Art Awards, the National Indigenous Music Awards, and focus of the fiftieth anniversary of the Yirrkala Bark Petitions. “It was also a great chance to maintain relationships - an opportunity to meet face-to-face with gallerists and curators.” Three Yolngu workers from Buku helped man the stall with Mr McDonald, where by all accounts things went very well and they greeted, explained and sold artworks to many customers over the weekend.

EVEN a lurking Darth Vader couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of some lucky children enjoying a special preview of Reading under the Stars at Nhulunbuy Christian College. NCC will be opening up the school to the Nhulunbuy community tonight, Wednesday August 21, from 6pm to 7.30pm, for awesome night-time reading, bonfires and hot milo. ‘Princess Leia’ or as she’s known at NCC - Mrs Kelly Dare, the Teacher Librarian - will be just one of the Readers set to enthral youngsters with stories as the sun sets at Nhulunbuy Christian College’s Library.

FROM time-to-time, Gove gets the tremors of an earthquake in Indonesia - and the next time it happens, the kids from Nhulunbuy High will be the first to know all about it. Last Thursday, August 15, earth science expert from the Australian National University Dr Natalie Balfour visited the school to install a seismometer - a machine which records earthquakes. Nhulunbuy was one of three schools in the NT to receive a seismometer last week. Dr Balfour also installed them in Katherine and Darwin High Schools. NHS is now one of just 42 schools around Australia to have one the schools had to apply, and the ones with the best science programs were selected. Each seismometer is connected to an international earthquake measuring program run out of the US. What this means is that the students will be able to see all earthquake activity throughout the world, compare the readings they get with

There are also teaching programs which come with the seismometer, with students being able to take part in an international science project, as well as connect and liaise with students with similar interests from throughout Australia and the world. Dr Balfour said it was satisfying for her to be able to install the seismographs, because she has seen the difference it makes to the students when they get

first-hand experience of momentous events like earthquakes that might be happening half the world away. “It’s exciting for them and it’s exciting for me because I know how having a spark like this can ignite a whole future for some of these kids. “The great thing about this AuScope program is that it connects the students and the schools into something much bigger, something that has repercussions for geoscience throughout Australia as we try to find out more about what lies beneath us.” AuScope is a Commonwealth-funded program, helping raise awareness in schools about the possibility of following a career in geoscience.

The popular annual event is a community celebration of literacy under the night sky marking Australia’s Book Week. This year’s national theme is Read Across the Universe. Surprise mystery readers will read stories to different age groups from Early Learning through to Upper Primary. Building on the Read Across the Universe theme, there will also be an opportunity to gaze at the night sky with the local Astronomy Club. Everyone is welcome - PJs and loved teddies are the most popular accessories, but this year you can also wear costumes fitting in with this year’s theme. But be warned . . . Darth Vader will be watching!

 letters to the editor/comment 40 years of fighting for Yirrkala kids ON Thursday, August 15, Yirrkala School celebrated its 40th anniversary of Bilingual Education. It was a great opportunity for those who worked, supported and attended the school to come together and hear the stories and lessons of the past. Among these stories there were many happy times, but unfortunately, also many times of struggle. One such period was that brought on by the Henderson Labor government, with their 2008 policy of English Only. This period is quite fresh for

me, as I supported a complaint process to the Australian Human Rights Commission from the Yirrkala community. With the political pressure from this complaint and advocacy from significant Yirrkala residents, the Department of Education was forced to replace the Yirrkala School principal and ultimately the regional director, for personnel better suited to supporting the schools Bilingual approach. The Labor Government’s English Only policy was officially squashed just prior to the 2012 NT

parliamentary elections. So, with the scars of battle still fresh, it was to my surprise that our local parliamentary member, Lynne Walker, a member of the former Henderson Government, was given a platform to address those attending on Thursday. More surprisingly, Lynne used this opportunity to declare that: 1.The Labor party now believes that the English Only policy was a mistake, and 2. they have now returned to being supporters of Bilingual Education. As a supporter of Bilingual

‘No Gas, No Gove’ petition sends a message to Giles THANK you to the thousand or so people who have signed the ‘No Gas, No Gove’ petition which I have circulated around our community in the last three weeks and will present to the parliament this week. The signatures reflect a cross-section of our community from Rio workers, business owners, mums, dads, school kids, traditional owners and Homelands residents, as well as visitors, also wanting to add their support. All signatories are deeply concerned not only about what the future holds, but about the way they have been treated. The petition sends a

very strong, collective message that people are not happy with new Chief Minister Adam Giles reneging on a deal secured by his predecessor Terry Mills in February. In March, people were asking me “Who’s Adam Giles?” Now people are asking me, “Who does this Adam Giles think he is?” Against this backdrop of uncertainty, however, the people across the Gove Peninsula are getting on with their day to day lives, their jobs and continue to be immersed in community events. Knowing as I do, that ours is a resilient and stoical community, perhaps

there’s just a hint of ‘what doesn’t kills us makes us stronger’. LAST weekend saw Relay For Life raise awareness and hope and the need to continue the fight to find a cure for cancer. The event at Hindle Oval also raised in excess of $70,000 with hundreds of people giving up a weekend to participate. WHILE Seniors’ Month was celebrated around the Territory with government sponsored events in Darwin and Alice Springs, we held our own Seniors’ Luncheon at the Arnhem Club without a cent of government funds thanks to some generous

sponsorship. THE recently and very successful cricket tournament in Nhulunbuy, organised by Rotary, was planned earlier in the year when the gas issue appeared to have been secured. Rotary members had told me that it was all about strengthening the community, holding fun and family events now that the future had been secured. Just a touch of irony that the Gas-to-Gove deal was pulled a week before the tournament. Adam Giles has said he will come to Gove when he’s ready and that

he won’t be coming to a meeting to be screamed at by Labor Party officials. There’s more than a touch of arrogance in his stand and a complete misread of those who speak up for our community. He needs to move beyond political posturing and listen to what people have to say.

Wild About Gove - Beauty in a beach stroll BEAUTY, isolation, the grand expanse of nature in East Arnhem Land; sometimes a photograph can capture it all. Nhulunbuy resident Jossa Keys snapped this masterful photo of her partner walking along the sand during low-tide at East Woody Beach, just before sunset on July 30. Jossa’s photo puts her in the running to win July’s Photo of the Month. At the end of the year, the twelve Photos of the Month from 2013 will be revealed, and displayed at an exhibition in town (location yet to be named). To be in with a grin, get your photos in to editor@ arafuratimes.com.au.

Can club secretaries please send in a list of their events planned for the year to editor@arafuratimes.com.au so they can be included in the What's On section.

Education I must say I am happy to receive this news, however, I must also say that I will take it as a grain of sand on East Woody beach until I hear reports of Lynne saying the same to her federal counterparts, bashing the ears of Darwinites on radio with this story, and advocating for Bilingual in the national curriculum. Finally, sincere congratulations to Yirrkala School for 40 years fighting for the best for Yirrkala kids. Kendall Trudgen, Elcho Island.

WHAT to do when you finish school? It’s a difficult question that all young people have to come to grips with at some stage. Last Friday, August 16, the 2013 Skills, Employment and Careers Expo was held in Nhulunbuy’s Town Hall to try and help locals to answer that tough question. Around 180 school students from Nhulunbuy, Yirrkala and Gapuwiyak attended the expo, which featured exhibitors from a range of different industries, training providers, government agencies, education organisations, employers and employment services from the Territory and interstate. School Captain of Nhulunbuy High School Bintang Daly said the experience enlightened his future. “It has been overwhelming because the people that were there were very helpful, co-operative and fun.” Organiser Cathy Preddy said it had been a pretty interactive and exciting day for everyone. “The exhibitors really shone; they brought the best out for the people of Nhulunbuy and got them to have a go at what they were offering. “Defence was a hit, the firies are always a hit, and Department of Health were up there for wowing the crowds.” The event was not just for school students - around 20 career seekers, career changers and job hunters from the general public also attended. For those who missed out, the annual event will return to Gove next year.

If you know you can’t make it to vote on election day, Saturday 7 September, vote early. All Australians aged 18 or over are required by law to vote. But we know that sometimes you can’t be in two places at once and some things can’t be missed. So if you can’t make it to a polling place in your state or territory on election day, make sure you vote early. You can apply for a postal vote, or vote at any early voting centre.

THE Arnhem Club’s Bali Pavilion was transformed into a colourful Arabic harem last Saturday night, complete with fortune teller, rocking gypsy band and belly dancers. The Club held their inaugural Gypsy Cabaret Party, and the undercover gypsies of Gove dressed up in bracelets and bandanas for the occasion. Every effort was made by Arnhem Club staff to have guests enjoying their evening in comfort, with mats and pillows laid out on the grass and tasty tapas served throughout the night. All the profits made on the night were donated to Relay For Life. LEFT: Gypsy Queens Trish Sullivan, Paula Thompson and Mandy Sinclair.

at NHULUNBUY August 17-18, 2013 CLASSIFIEDS WHEN dawn hit Hindle Oval last Sunday, August 18, loyal baton holders were still walking the track in the final hours of Relay For Life 2013. The relay began at 2pm the day before, with teams members passing the baton and taking turns at walking the track throughout the night. Although it was a long night, by the time of the Relay’s final lap and closing ceremony at 8am, walkers were still standing strong, and smiling, in their mission to raise awareness of cancer. And it wasn’t just awareness that the community of Gove raised; at the closing ceremony it was announced that in excess of $71,000 had been raised to go towards finding a cure for the disease. Out of 25 teams, the most money raised by an individual team was $8939 by S-Crew Hunting For A Cure. The second-most raised was $8366 by Team Tania, named after their dear friend and family member Tania Peters, who passed away from cancer last year. At the ceremony, Gove’s Relay For Life committee chairperson Fiona Pearce thanked everyone for being involved, and for working so hard in the build-up to the event, and over the night. “With over 340 registered participants - for our little town that is amazing. “Thank you, because without you this just doesn’t happen.” When Gove’s Relay For Life last took place in 2011, there were only 13 teams registered. A few years later, community support for the event has skyrocketed, with individuals and sponsors getting behind it in many different ways.

AN EAST Arnhem teacher has been honoured for excellence in financial literacy education, collecting a $10,000 prize to invest in monetary education programs at her school. Selena Uibo, a teacher at Numbulwar School, was one of 15 winners of the Commonwealth Bank Foundation Teaching Awards for building their students’ economic expertise. Ms Uibo is an Aboriginal teacher who comes from Numbulwar, and has returned to teach Year 10, 11 and 12 students. Senior students at the school are developing money management skills through their own business - Numburindi Arts - which buys products such as woven baskets, necklaces and screenprinted items for sale at local markets.

Classroom lessons further develop the financial skills necessary to support the commercial enterprise. Department of Education and Children’s Services chief executive, Ken Davies, applauded her professionalism and commitment. This year, 240 applications for the awards were received from teachers from kindergarten to Year 12 across the nation.

Ralpa trainees at the Tank Farm. THEY are the potential workforce that are not going to move away, that calls the region, “my country”, and are not interested in flying-in or flying-out. The fifth intake of the Ralpa Work Readiness Program commences on Monday, September 16. A partnership between Miwatj Employment Participation (MEP), Gumatj and Gove Operations has committed itself to recruit, train and employ a group of sixteen candidates. The Ralpa Yolngu trainees embark on a two tier program. The first eight weeks is Ralpa Work Readiness, where the objective is to

create the motivation to want to get up and go to work. It also gives intense workplace and life skills like safety, cooking, hygiene, well-being and fitness, small plant and equipment maintenance as well as how to use basic first aid. The following eight weeks are the Ralpa Community Extension Scheme, which mix the workplace skills learnt within Work Readiness into a work experience opportunity with varied organisations in and around the township. Trainees will have a chance to learn trade skills ranging from building construction, drivers licence training,

hospitality, infrastructure and maintenance. Once Ralpa trainees have completed their program, with their new skills they will be in demand by Gove Operations, as well as local employers like Gumatj and local government organisations. Recruitment for this exciting training and employment opportunity is happening now, come along to the information sessions: Yirrkala - Rika Park Wednesday, August 21 or Ski Beach Gumatj Office (veranda area) Thursday, August 22 at 11.30am. For more info, contact ALERT (8987 5463).

Pleb’s lead sliced to two

THE Panthers’ victory against the Warriors on Sunday, knocked out all tipsters except waggy after the weekend’s games in round 23 of the Arafura Times/Arnhem Club NRL footy tipping competition. Despite most games going to form, only five managed to select six winners from the seven games played - Shaun Dennis, Morgstar, Putty, KaDavo82 and Graham Hughes. Monday night’s game between the Tigers and the Roosters was not completed by the time the Arafura Times went to press. And only a further eight managed five from seven - hayden4x, Wayno, Killer, Tracey xxxx, Malkzok1, Jez, grimmus8u and Tanya Hoffman. Although those on the top positions didn’t have a good weekend, there was no changes.

Kaffir (4 wins) stands on 122 to hold on to the top position on the leaderboard. Andres Hoffman (4) remains in outright second place and is one further back on 121. Marlinman (4) is on 120. Wayno (5) is on 119, where he is joined by Graham Hughes (6). 117: Malkzok1 (5), Putty (6), 115: doodlesuckernobagchc (3), Tanya Hoffman (5), Killer (5) 114: Jez (5) 113: Travis Dehnert (4),, Luke Cole (4), Halwes (4), 112: grimmus8u (5). 111: Jeremy 4X (2). 109: Broccoli (4). 107: Shaun Dennis (6), 106: hayden4x (5). 105: Tracey xxxx (5), KaDavo82 (6). 104: aaron tilley (3), waggy (3), The winner of the Arafura Times/Arnhem Club NRL tipping competition wins $500.

Tipsters out early MOST tipsters were out of business by as early as game two in round 21 of the Arafura Times/Arnhem Club AFL footy tipping competition on the weekend. Only five – marlinaman, KaRon1, 43, Damo and Duggie – were on the mark, tipping the Blues to down the Tigers, while many were also off the pace with the Kangaroos’ victory against the controversy-plagued Bombers. And tipsters got mauled again by the last game when the Bulldogs upset the Crows. No one got all nine correct, with only crackers getting eight, missing out with the Blues’ win. A total of 21 got seven correct, while a further six got six.

Pleb (7) has had his lead trimmed back to two with 138, ahead of crackers (8) on 136. Two further back are hayden4x (7) and David Gibson (7) on 134. Duggie (5) is on 133, with Waggy (7) 132: Darren Nunn (5). 131: Travis Dehnert (7), Kaffir (7), Forbesy (7) 130: Wayno (7), Aussie Joe (6), Woodsgal (6), Tanya Hoffman (7), WestAussieGirl136 (7). 128: Spudly (6), Marlinman (7), Jendj (7). 127: Andres Hoffman (7), Jeremy 4X (7), Maggie May (7). 125: 43 (7). 124: Dobbo (6), KaRon1 (6), Graham Hughes (7), Agron (5). 121: Tracey xxxx (7). The winner of the Arafura Times/Arnhem Club AFL tipping competition wins $750.

sharing the knowledge for science week AS part of National Science Week 2013, the Town Hall was buzzing with the region’s young Einsteins at the Arnhem Land Science Fair last Wednesday. The theme of the Science Fair was Sharing the Knowledge, which was exactly what students, teachers, visiting organisations and science gurus did on the day. Year 10 students presented hands-on activities to the younger grades who walked around and

learned how science can be used in everyday life. Experts from Canberra’s National Science and Technology Centre - better known as Questacon - captivated students with shows about sound, liquid and gross stuff which kids can’t help but love. Dhimurru, Biosecurity Gove, Pacific Aluminium, Nhulunbuy Police, BoM Gove and many more joined in on the day, teaching youngsters about some of the

ways science is used around our community. Coordinator of the event and Nhulunbuy High Science Teacher Miss Cassie said it was great to see so many students engaging with science. “For such a remote community, it was great to see such interest. Without science, there is no future.” The Nhulunbuy event was funded by government agency, Inspiring Australia.
