HUNDREDS of mourners turned out to farewell icon-ic local, Denise Goddard on Tuesday.While the funeral was held

at St Mary’s Cathedral in Darwin, Tennant Creek was well represented, with cur-rent priest, Father John and former priest, Father Joseph from Christ the King Catholic Parish amongst those offici-ating at the service.Denise, whose Aboriginal

heritage is Kaytetye, was born and raised in Tennant Creek although ongoing health problems took her away from the town she loved for years at a time.Most recently, Denise had

been living in Darwin so she could access medical services but she missed Tennant Creek and always considered herself a local.There was lots that bound

Denise to Tennant Creek and she returned whenever she could to catch up with family and friends.Friends were scattered

throughout the Barkly and beyond because Denise and her husband Steve had worked in the bush for many

years, in grader camps and on cattle stations, and were entrenched in the cattle-men’s community.Denise also served in the

NT Police Force for more than 20 years, mainly in Tennant Creek but also at surrounding communities in-cluding Ali Curung and Avon Downs; and later in Darwin.Despite serious health

problems that began in her twenties with a rare auto immune disease that result-ed in kidney failure, Denise lived life to the fullest. She refused to buckle, no matter how dire predictions from the

medical fraternity were. In fact, she had specialists from Darwin to Sydney shaking their heads in disbelief at the way she pulled through a major organ transplant, sev-eral heart attacks, strokes, cancer, broken bones, artifi-cial valve implants, chronic infections, dozens of oper-ations.Family and friends mused

at Denise’s resilience, she was a complete enigma, which is why no-one really believed it when news of her death began to circulate.Denise put up a good fight,

a long fight. She was an

amazing woman, great com-pany and always up for a party or a bush adventure.Family meant the world

to Denise. She and Steve were soulmates and he was always by her side. Denise doted on her two children, Sarah and Stephen Angus.Denise was incredibly

proud of Sarah, not only because she graduated as a doctor but because she returned to Tennant Creek because she wanted to help the people she grew up with. And there was no greater gift than Stephen Angus’ two children, Iraya and Tracker.Denise became a mother

to her nieces and nephew, Cianne, Tricia-Kara and Donny when her sister, Tri-cia, died and she loved their children too. She was an adored ‘Nonna’ to many, including a swag of god-children.As the turnout at her funeral

and the stories at her wake proved, Denise was a great character who was well loved and respected.Time now to rest in peace

Froggy. We’re already miss-ing you so much.

THE tiny outback community of Marlinja has taken its first steps towards its goal of becoming a leader in remote renew-able energy generation with the launch of a solar-powered community centre this week.The Marlinja Community Centre is a partnership between the

Marlinja community and Original Power’s Clean Energy Com-munities Project which is working to empower Indigenous com-munities to take the lead on the remote renewables revolution through incubation of community-owned solar projects across the Northern Territory.Marlinja is one of many Territory remote communities experencing

extreme energy poverty, with lengthy power outages due to system faults and regular household disconnection due to unaffordable energy costs. With wet season temperatures in the mid-40s and overcrowd-

ed, poorly designed houses, the inability to afford electricity for essential appliances has been an ongoing concern for residents.The solar-powered community centre will be a hub for kids, fam-

ily and cultural activities and a reprieve from frequent blackouts affecting local households. But it’s just the first step in a much larger plan for the community

to go 100 per cent renewable and generate its own electricity from solar power with battery storage. The plan aims to cut power costs for residents and reduce reliance

on polluting diesel and gas-fired electricity generation.“Solar powering the Territory’s remote communities makes so

much sense, and community-ownership models like that being advanced at Marlinja are the best way to ensure that the benefits of cheaper, cleaner energy are delivered directly back to local

families and businesses,” said Original Power Executive Director Karrina Nolan.Leading up to and throughout the week-long build community

members are engaged in project planning, installation of rooftop solar panels, and training in electrical technology and carpentry skills. Marlinja school students will also take part in a Solar Schools Day to learn more about how solar power works for the community and a launch event for the new solar-powered community centre tonight will feature a solar light disco and local bands.Raymond Dixon, a Mudburra community leader who has helped

guide the project to completion said of the community’s ambitions: “For years now our region has featured in the development plans

of big companies, whether it be gas fracking, mining and more recently even big solar farms. But these projects offer next to no local benefit, and plenty of risk to our land, water and cultural heritage,” he said.“We see community-owned solar power as a way to meet the

needs of local families and businesses, keeping power and any profit in local hands so we can reinvest that into our future and start making positive changes in our people’s lives.“We’d like to see more support from the Northern Territory gov-

ernment to help our communities go all the way with solar power. Not only will it help locals but we’re helping the government meet its economic recovery plans, their Renewable Energy Target and Climate Action plans too so its really a win-win for the whole Ter-ritory and our shared future.”The opening of the new solar-powered Marlinja Community Cen-

tre will be undertaken by Mayor Jeffrey McLaughlin at an official opening and welcome ceremony tonight at 6pm.

Remote community leading the way on renewables revolution A 19-year-old teenager has been ordered

to leave the Territory after pleading guilty to a swag of drug charges including possessing and selling commercial quantities of LSD.Logan Puller appeared in the Alice Springs

Supreme Court last week and was sen-tenced to 20 months jail, suspended on the condition he go back to Queensland and not enter the Northern Territory for 16 months.On 7 August 2020, Puller obtained 20 tab-

lets of the LSD and supplied 13 to unknown persons in Tennant Creek.Police searched the residence and found

cannabis plant material, an ice pipe and bong, plus knuckle dusters and handcuffs laying on the offender’s bed. Ammunition was found in a drawer of the home.Puller was 18 at the time of offending.Born in Maryborough, Queensland, he

moved to Tennant Creek where he had uncles and cousins living.Justice Stephen Southwood said the of-

fender started using drugs recreationally two years ago because he was bored and lonely in Tennant Creek.“The community has an interest in his re-

habilitation and if he can continue to remain as a law-abiding citizen, which he has done since he was granted bail, that serves the interest of the community in the greatest way,” he said.

Community BBQ for Epenarra students

If you need help to get your children to school please ring the office on (08) 8962 3270 for assistance or drop in and see the team.

Epenarra was the place to be last week for the Language Centre crew with the CEO and RSAS Manager attending community meeting at the request of community on Tuesday and the RSAS team travelling out on Thursday to participate in a community Bar-B-Que and to take part in an action activity full event.

Our team had a great time and cooked up a fantastic feed for all.

The community meeting was called to dis-cuss several issues regarding the community and school attendance was a major concern. Not that children in community are not at-tending school as all that are in community are attending.

The issue was the fact that so many families are not in community and are elsewhere in the Northern Territory with their children and not attending school. This is a big concern across the Northern Territory with many chil-dren travelling and missing school for long periods of time.

We need to remember that if children are to be missing school for any period of time the schools must be notified, or parents’ risk be-ing fined, and their children are at risk of not being able to obtain an education and unable to read and write in the future.

Education is important and it is everyone’s business. Children need to go to school – it is the law. See the number below if you need help getting your kids to school!

A 37-year-old Tennant Creek man has been sentenced to prison after he hit a man while driving drunk in 2018.Tristian Long appeared in the the Alice Springs Supreme Court in

April and pleaded guilty to driving a motor vehicle dangerously and breaching bail.The court heard Long had drank two six packs of VB before driving

his unregistered vehicle to Ti Tree around 9pm.With a blood alcohol concentration of 0.102, Long failed to see the

victim on the left hand side of the road.His car struck the victim, who bounced off the bonnet, onto the wind-

screen and travelled through the air before landing on the ground.Long stopped to help the victim and console and help him before

walking along the road to find help.An unknown person reported the accident to emergency services.The vicim suffered a fracture to the upper arm and fractures to the ribs.The court was also told Long had a long history of driving offences

with 20 convictions, four involving driving while affected by alcohol.Justice Stephen Southwood said Long had a blood alcohol contest

twice the legal limit and was driving at speed on an access road at night.“The offender The offender failed to pay sufficient attention to the

road to see his victim. The offender caused the victim serious harm, most notably a broken shoulder,” he said.“… I take into account the offender’s plea of guilty and the assistance

he provided both to the victim and to the police. “It would be an extremely difficult matter to have investigated if the

offender had not been frank and forthright about what had occurred. “I therefore accept that he has accepted full responsibility for his

conduct and that he is genuinely remorseful for what occurred.”Long was jailed for two years and three months, to be suspended

after serving eight months.His licence was also suspended for nine months.

Drunk driver jailed after hitting man near Ti Tree

A TENNANT man who beat his partner to death with a Besser Block has been found guilty of murder and sebtenced to life imprisonment in the Alice Springs Supreme Court last Thursday.On 20 January 2017, Baden Flash (38) struck the

victim with the brick at least 30 times, the court was told.Justice Stephen Southwood said of great signif-

icance, he struck her to the left side of the head at least four times in a “particularly ferocious and savage way.”Having knocked her unconscious, Flash stayed in

the bedroom, refusing to let anyone in and failed to get help until later that afternoon.“This in many respects, was a horrendous crime

because of the savage beating the offender gave the victim with a very dangerous instrument, being a piece of Besser Block,” said Justice Southwood.Flash was born in Alice Springs and grew up in the

Lake Nash community and Camooweal.He went to Tennant Creek High School and Yirara

College in Alice Springs and left school in Year 9.After finishing school he lived in Ali Curung where

he met the victim and was “squared” with her.Justice Southwood said “squared” is a term when

families encourage people to get together when

there are already family links between the families.The couple had a son and two daughters.They moved to Darwin with the deceased’s family

for medical reasons, where Flash played rhythm guitar in a community band, but started to heavily drink and use cannabis while staying at the 15 Mile Camp near Palmerston.After years of travelling between Darwin and Ten-

nant, the couple moved to Tennant in an attempt to get away from the lifestyle of drinking and drug-tak-ing.At the time of the offence he was not working.It was revealed Flash has a criminal record extend-

ing three pages, including two aggravated assaults on the deceased and seven breaches of domestic violence orders.“Having started out as an amicable and meaning-

ful relationship, sadly, over a number of years, the relationship between the offender and the deceased deteriorated to an extent where it had become a dysfunctional, bitter and violent relationship,” said Justice Southwood.“I fix a non-parole period of 20 years. The non-pa-

role period is also backdated to 20 January 2017,” he said.

IF your backside wasn’t trackside on the weekend, you missed out on an action-packed weekend of racing. Two Northern Territory Titles were contested over the

course of two nights. The NT Junior Sedan 2021 Title and the NT Wingless 2021

Title was up for grabs.Seventeen competitors travelled from across Australia to

battle it out for the Jetcor Yamaha Honda 2021 Northern Territory Wingless Sprint Championship. Current NT Wingless champion of two years, Nathan

Dicker, travelled up to try and retain the title. Over the first night the heats were not for the faint hearted. With the rivalry showing in the heats it was going to be a

hell of a ride in the final the next night. The Goldoni team showed their dominance early, taking

out four of the six heats on the first night. The other two heats going to Greg Wells and Troy Carey. In the feature, Jarrod Goldoni started out first on the grid,

while second and third was determined by the quickest lap time as both Jamie McInnes and Nathan Dicker ended up on equal points. Jamie achieved the quickest lap.As the flag dropped, McInness was straight on the gas

and took the lead, with Goldoni and Dicker closely behind. This race was going to be about who could keep the pace

and have the skill to keep their race line consistent. With a couple of kisses of the wall, some spinners and a

spectacular flip by Bailey Jones, the crowd was on their feet with excitement. No matter though what Dicker tried, racing around that

track with his wheels lifting at every corner, it was McInness who showed he not only had the pace but the skill to bring it home and claim NT number one. Dicker took out second place with Carey bringing it across

the line for third.The Junior Sedans put on a spectacular show throughout

the practices and heats. Alira Allen, alas, didn’t make it past practice as her car

decided to challenge the wall. Happy to report though she is okay. That left 19 Juniors to contend the title. By the end of the heats it was equal points between WA

Riley Hanson and the local Jones boys, all winning their respective heats. Riley and Michael Jones were both competing in their last

Junior title, Jamie was competing in his first title. Pole position went to Riley as he had the quickest lap time,

followed by Michael and then Jamie. On the first lap Michael managed to come under Riley on

the fourth corner and this had the local crowd screaming. Lap after Lap Michael held Riley out and it was going to

be a two car race to the finish. Lapping traffic as they went around it was the front wheel

that found it easier and ended up making his move in the 12th lap to take the lead. Michael tried to come back but Riley wasn’t giving in and

took the win, claiming NT number one. Michael Jones came in second and one of our youngest drivers, in his first season, River Spitzbarth took out third place. In our support classes final placings were:Street Stocks: 1st Jack Yates, 2nd Jamie Yates and 3rd

Jake Koivumaki. NT Sedans: 1st Kade Roberston, 2nd Brodie Reid and 3rd Tarmo Koivumaki.We cannot thank everyone enough for the support they

gave Tennant Creek Speedway over the weekend. The new competitors that built cars just for the weekend,

the competitors that travelled huge distances to be here, the volunteers that helped on the night, all the officials that travelled to assist, our sponsors that support us year in and year out, NT Wingless, Speedway Sedans Australia, NT Motorsport and lastly Tennant Creek for coming out and cheering on the racers. See you all racing in a few weeks.

FRIENDLY competition was the overwhelming theme as students from three remote Barkly schools converged on the tiny Territory town of Ti Tree for the annual ath-letics carnival.Students from Ti Tree, Mungkarta, Alekarenge and Neutral

Junction schools competed across a range of track and field events.Mungkarta and Alekarenge schools overnighted in at Ti

Tree School and took part in basketball matches into the late evening.Four senior students from Alekarenge got a taste what it

takes to be an athletics official, recording times, measuring distances and even taking on the roll of starter for running races.Students enjoyed officialdom so much they are keen to fine

tune their skills at the Barkly Region Inter-School Athletics Carnival to be held in Tennant Creek next month.
