Two die
of thirst
in bush
tragedy
Carenda Jenkin
A YOUNG man died of
thirst on a remote track in
Central Australia’s Tanami Desert after the car in
which he was travelling
broke down.
The 34-year-old’s body was
found just 90 metres from a
dried up waterhole. His wife,
31, was found barely alive
just metres from her husband, her footprints leading
back to him. She later died
at a remote clinic.
But another man — aged
in his 70s and who it is
believed is the dead man’s
uncle — survived to tell police what happened.
It is understood the three
had been travelling from
Kintore
to
Yuendumu,
about 300km west of Alice
Springs. But their fourwheel drive broke down just
short of Nyirripi in searing
41C heat, roughly 500km
west of Alice Springs.
The trio had used all their
drinking water to fill a leaking radiator.
The Pajero, believed to
have been borrowed from
family in Kintore to travel to
Yuendumu, stopped 116km
south of Nyirripi.
NT Police officers at
Nyirripi were called at 9pm
on Sunday about the overdue party.
A search was mounted
that night, finding the elderly man walking some
109km from Nyirripi.
The man told officers they
had broken down two days
before.

Golf club’s
cash crisis
Treasurer’s
cry for help
Christopher O’Leary
Alice Springs Golf Club treasurer Tanya Kirker says it is time to solve the club’s financial woes.
Picture: HANNAH MILLERICK
THE Alice Springs Golf Club’s finances have reached crisis point.
High maintenance costs and low
membership had forced the club to
run at a loss for every year since 2001.
In that year it owed $136,131.
That figure grew to more than
double for the 2006 calendar year to
almost $300,000.
Now club officials say they will need
a government bail out to survive.
A financial report for 2007 was not
yet finished last night, but officials
expected the deficit to be roughly the
same as that recorded for the previous
year, an improvement on past years.
Club treasurer and accountant
Tanya Kirker told the Centralian
Advocate there was no immediate
threat of liquidation, and that all jobs
at the club were safe. But she said it
was time a solution to the club’s woes
was found.
Ms Kirker said: ‘‘We will continue to
trade on a day-to-day basis to a better
position. We’re not over-drafted in
trading terms, but just like any business, if we’re unable to pay our debts
we will be liquidated.’’

Flights south for
less than $19.95
Christopher O’Leary
AIRFARES under $19.95 could be
offered by Tiger Airways when it
begins flying from Alice Springs to
Melbourne on March 1.
That was the price of flights from
Melbourne to Adelaide and Can-
berra last week. And the cut-price
airline hinted yesterday that flights
could be even cheaper when its Alice
Springs service finally gets off the
ground.
Tiger spokesman Matt Hobbs said
yesterday: ‘‘We could offer flights at
$19.95 — but that is not the lowest we
could go.
‘‘We could go lower but we are not
saying — that is for our competitors
to guess.’’
Earlier this month Tiger offered
its lowest-priced flights — $9.95 each
way between Melbourne and Hobart.
Mr Hobbs would not be drawn into
how low Tiger flights would go but
said any deals would be advertised
first on its website and would include
an additional 10 per cent GST.
Mr Hobbs said the airline could
consider running Alice SpringsDarwin flights in the near future.
A flight to Darwin would open
Central Australia to tourists flying
into the Top End from the lucrative
South East Asian market.

— for annual funding to

Alice Springs Town
Council will also be
courted for financial

The Golf Club has up
to 500 members of all
categories, but Kirker
argued a membership
base of more than 1000
at current fees would be
needed
to
properly
maintain the greens.
A full membership of
the Alice Springs Golf
Club costs $825 as of
January 1.
Ms Kirker said it was
in the town’s and the
government’s interest
for the club to receive
support to maintain the
quality of its services.
Also, the quality of
the course increased
land value of surrounding properties.
Ms Kirker said the
rates of one property
bordering the course
were raised from $1200
to $1800 last year.
She said: ‘‘The golf
course
has
pushed
property values up considerably.’’
The club could reduce
the level of power and
water used to maintain
the course. Ms Kirker
said all club positions
were secure.

Authorities stymie
Uluru record bid
Christopher O’Leary
PARKS Australia has poured
cold water on a couple’s plan to
break the world wingsuit gliding
record over Uluru.
Thrill seekers Glenn
Singleman, a Sydney doctor, and
his wife Heather Swan planned to
ride a hot-air ballon to an altitude
of 40,000 feet (12,000 metres) over
the Rock then jump out wearing
only bat-like wing suits.
They hoped to fly a distance of
30km over Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park to smash the world
wingsuit flight record.
But the park is a commonwealth reserve and Parks Australia has told the daredevil couple a
Federal Act prohibits such an
exercise.
The Environment Protection
and Biodiversity Conservation Act
1999 prohibits people disembarking above a commonwealth reserve, or landing in the reserve.
Despite the setback Ms Swan
said they will make the record
attempt elsewhere in Central
Australia because there are
strong jet streams.
She said: ‘‘We will apply for
permission as we always do and if
we cannot do it in Central Australia we will do it elsewhere.
‘‘We are very respectful of relevant permissions. Flying over
over Uluru that would be a really
spectacular thing, but it’s not a
critical part of our plan. We’ve
been working on this bid for three
years. It would be a world record
and visually spectacular.’’
Ms Swan said jet streams in
Central Australia could propel
them through the air at 500km/h.
Their wingsuits are speciallydesigned, with webs between the
arms and torso and between the
legs. The suits can withstand
hundreds of pounds of wind pressure without breaking.
Dr Singleman and Nic Feteris
set a world record for altitude
basejumping in 1992 when they
climbed and leapt from Pakistan’s
Great Trango Tower, a sheer rock
wall 6258 metres above sea level.
Funerals begin
THE families of six people who
died in a horror car crash last

ANCIENT astronauts landed at
Uluru and proceeded to create
humankind, according to UFO
enthusiasts in the US.
The UFO Area website says the
astronauts are represented in rock
paintings in Central Australia.
The website ran the story under a
picture of Uluru.
It states: ‘‘Once upon a time, in a
distant past, a huge red ‘egg’ had
difficulties in safely reaching the
ground and crashed.
‘‘Out of the ‘egg’ emerged whiteskinned beings, followed by their
children.
‘‘The adults had problems
adapting to the Earth’s atmosphere and died. The children managed to survive. Later they painted
drawings of the adults in honour
of their parents.
‘‘Uluru is filled with the legends
and
myths
of
Aboriginal
Dreamtime when their ancient
god-like ancestors moved through
the landscape. These gods — who
were ancient astronauts — came
from the sky with a mission. This
mission was to create life on
Earth.’’
Parks Australia spokeswoman
Mali Stanton said there was no
one at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National
Park who could comment on the
bizarre story. The complex Aboriginal system of law and beliefs
known as Tjukurpa is referred to
in the park’s plan of management.
The plan refers in part to the
creation stories represented in
rock art — without astronauts.
It
states:
‘‘According
to
Tjukurpa, there was a time when
ancestral beings in the form of
humans, animals, and plants travelled widely across the land and
performed remarkable feats of
creation and destruction.
‘‘The journeys of these beings
are remembered and celebrated
and the record of their activities
exists today in aspects and features of the land.’’

A FAMOUS Aboriginal
artist
whose
work
adorns a Qantas jetliner is in despair over
the poverty and conditions at her community
in the shadow of Uluru.
Rene Kulitja was inspired by the Uluru landscape, around her her
home of Mutitjulu, when
she painted a Qantas
Boeing 737-800. She is
well known for the work,
titled Yananyi Dreaming.
She says the painting
reflected her love for her
country.
But Mrs Kulitja is now
becoming
more

more concerned about
the
problems
at
Mutitjulu.
She said: ‘‘We contribute so much but we have
so little... no air conditioning, leaking taps and
leaking toilets.
‘‘My son was a petrol
sniffer. He had tried to
kill himself, so we took
him to Darwin to get
treatment.
‘‘When we came back,
we found our house had
been trashed.
‘‘So we just lived outside, under a tree, even in
the summer. Then we
moved into the renal dialysis house, because we
had nowhere else to go.’’
Mrs Kulitja said she

But a former Mutitjulu

to be named, said the
community was lazy.
He said: ‘‘The situation
they are in is their own
fault. They are absolutely hopeless.
‘‘There
are
some

people
at
Mutitjulu but the others
just wreck it for them.
They are not helping
themselves. They have
created their own hell.
‘‘Royalty money is being spent on cars instead
of
being

through the community.
But the cars just get
wrecked within a month.
‘‘Mutitjulu should not

Every person out there

they’re just too bloody
lazy.

Funding
slashes
surgery
Rebecca Lollback
ELECTIVE surgery waiting
lists in the Territory will be
slashed this year, with the Federal Government committing
more than $5 million in funding.
Territory Health Minister Chris
Burns and Treasurer Delia Lawrie
met in Brisbane yesterday with
their federal counterparts.
Ms Lawrie was pleased to get a
‘‘good deal’’.
She said: ‘‘We put our case
forward for funding on a needs
basis rather than population and
we’ve successfully secured $5.3
million for the Territory.
‘‘If the funding had been allocated based on population, we
would have received less than $2
million.’’
Dr Burns said the funding would
allow for an extra 500 surgeries to
be done this year.
He said last year’s elective surgery campaign had already cut the
overall waiting list by 31 per cent.
But Opposition Health spokesman Matt Conlan said the Federal
Government’s funding should be
able to cover more than 500
surgeries.
He said: ‘‘Last year there were
1400 people on the waiting list but
600 of those had moved, passed
away or no longer required the
surgery.
‘‘The government spent $2.3 million and this covered 800 operations.
So why will $5.3 million only allow
for an extra 500 surgeries? This is a
lot of money, especially considering
the size of the Territory.
‘‘We welcome it and it will go a
long to fixing the problem, but the
figures just don’t add up.
‘‘I would also like to know how
much of this money will be allocated to Central Australia. I welcome hearing the break-up from
the minister.
‘‘We are going to need every cent
of this $5.3 million.’’
Alice Springs farmer
was tenacious battler
Obituary
AN Alice Springs farmer who
died in December has been
remembered as a ‘‘tenacious
battler’’.
Gilbert ‘‘Bert’’ Roland Cramer
died in his room at the Old
Timers’ on December 19, 2007.
He was 79.
He is survived by his wife,
Mona, brother Colin and children Rod, Lance and Judy, as
well as five grandchildren and
one great granddaughter.
A memorial service will be held
for Mr Cramer tomorrow at the
Lutheran Church at 9.30am.
Son Rod Cramer said his
father was known to some only
as ‘‘that old bloke who drove
around town in a beat-up ute,
collecting cans, annoying public
servants and talking to anyone
who would listen about impact
craters, religion and anything
else.
‘‘There was much more to
Bert. He was an artist, a poet, an
author and entertainer. But
above all he was a lateral
thinker, long before the term
was common.’’
Bert Cramer was born in
Tanunda in South Australia
and left school at 14 to work for
the SA Brush Company. On
weekends Bert would go into the
bush to hunt and prospect for
gold.
Gilbert ‘‘Bert’’ Cramer
He also learnt saddlery and
boot and whip making during a
stint at RM Williams.
In February 1949, he took a job
on Welbourne Station as a
stockcamp cook, equipped with a
wagon hauled by two camels.
In 1951, after 12 months with
the Bore Gang, Bert started
work at Hermannsburg, breaking in horses and training Aborigines in saddlery and tractor
work.
It was there that Bert met his
future wife, Mona Kennedy.
They announced their engagement in 1952 and married on
January 28, 1954.
After the birth of their two
sons, Rodney and Lance, the
couple left Hermannsburg in
1956 and started life on their
Emily Gap Road (now Ragonesi
Road) property in July 1957. A
daughter, Judy, was born in
1960.
With no electricity, water,
phone, house or security of tenure, times were tough.
Bert had a variety of jobs in
Alice Springs, including kangaroo shooting, gardening and
contracting.
He won the contract to install
strainer posts for the Old Telegraph Station fence and designed and constructed a pumping station.
Bert also installed water
supplies at Standley Chasm and
Simpsons Gap, and the first
toilets at Standley Chasm and
Ormiston Gorge.
But his first love was the farm.
He bought second-hand bee
equipment and started a honey
business. Goats and cows were
initially hand-milked.
Bert rarely bought new equipment. He built his own boring
plant, centre pivot irrigator,
cement mixer, drill press, power
hacksaw and air compressor.
With help from his wife and
children, the farm was very
much a family affair.
In 1987, after 30 years, the
‘‘Milk and Honey Farm’’ was
sold and the Cramers bought
‘‘Temple Bar’’, operating a caravan park and cattle stud.

The man was about to drive
off from the Alice Plaza parking
lot at 9.30pm on Friday when the

The stranded driver took a
taxi home to get his spare keys
but by the time he got back his
car was gone.
The man did not want to be
named. The stolen car is a 1996
purple Holden Commodore, NT
registration 621 325.
The man described the girl
who stole his keys as being of
Aboriginal appearance, aged
about 15 or 16. She was wearing
trousers and a light coloured
T-shirt.

alcohol level of .181.
When asked by police why he was driving,
Augey had said he was ‘‘drunk, stupid and sorry’’,
the Alice Springs Magistrates Court heard.
The court was told the young man had a medical
problem and was taken to hospital after he was
arrested on December 7.
LIQUOR, cash, iPods and shoes were among the
items stolen from three Gillen homes in the same
block at the weekend.
Thieves stole a lap-top computer, an iPod, money,
DVDs, shoes and liquor from a house in Plew Street
on Friday while the householder was working a
night shift. Some of the goods were found extensively damaged in a local park.
In nearby Underdown Street, two bikes, beer and

Sir, Dry town my foot. I am responding to the
countless number of letters regarding our so
called ‘‘dry town’’.
It is not a dry town in any shape or form.
Yes, it was brilliant for the first month or so
while we had the extra police to enforce it.
I admit I walked down the river for the first time
with my son in the whole 14 years I have been here
and actually enjoyed the experience.
We have a beautiful town. (We didn’t have to
watch out for the broken glass, rubbish, defecation or people lying on the path passed out and
we didn’t feel threatened in any way).
It is not the fault of the police as they don’t have
the manpower to enforce this legislation.
The Alice Springs Town Council needs to open
a hot line, separate to the police line, so that
concerned townspeople can ring and report violations.
And there has to be two to four extra officers in
place to be able to act on these calls.
The fines incurred by these people breaking the
laws would well and truly pay for their wages and
any costs incurred.
Wake up council and see the people blatantly
walking around drinking, defying the laws you
made and laughing in your face about it.
We should not be jamming the police lines with
these calls. They have enough to do.
Make it separate and you will have the support
of the community as we are sick of what is going
on.

I draw your attention to that article.
To use a good old Territory term. last year’s
predictions were ‘‘a pinch of piss’’.
Not much, if anything, she said
would occur, did in fact occur.
For example — April . . . ‘‘big rains’’.
My town (Gap area) rain gauge . . . nil.
June . . . ‘‘floods’’. My rain gauge . . .
7mm.
I rest my case. Check if you like.
I will keep this year’s predictions too
and hope to see a more reliable
soothsayer being quoted next year.
I am a resident of Alice Springs for
more than 50 years.

Interesting times as
they are a changing
Sir, It will be interesting following the
permit issue for the next few months.
The ALP has promised to restore the
system, but they will need to convince the
Senate first.
As I understand it, the permit system
has been revoked over less than one per
cent of Aboriginal land. This represents
the townships where new local government shires will soon be operating and
where schools, clinics, workshops and
stores are found. It also includes the
main access roads and landing strips.
It can be argued that a public infrastructure wholly dependant on the public
purse could be open to the public, providing opportunities for cultural exchange
and much-needed enterprise.
I think these opportunities are also
desired by many of the gatekeepers (the
permit issuers), with the stipulation that
they keep control over who gets a permit.
I wonder if we will come to think of
Closure is
shame job
Sir, Since the Alice Springs Town
Council’s shafting of the Bowerbird
Tip Shop during the Christmas
period, there have been numerous
letters of support published.
The only letter to the editor supporting the council, titled ‘‘New tilt on
tip shop closure’’, was published on
4/1/2008.
To this person I say how low can you
go? Attack Bowerbird if you will but at
least have the guts to forego your
cloak of anonymity in this case.
The real culprit is the town council.
In my experience, this would be the
Alice Springs Town Council’s greatest and longest running shame job.
Our council decided it was time for
a clean broom to sweep the original
Bowerbird team out.
Maybe it is time for new leadership
in both elected and other positions in
the town council chambers.
With the elections looming, it is
noteworthy that some staff have
already considered their futures.
On the word of one alderman, for
example, we now have a more action
orientated technical services department. May this trend continue.

permit-restricted communities like gated
suburbs, and if further incorporation is
on the horizon?
There will be a council election in
March.
At a time of increasing corporate
power, and with calls for greater corporate investment in Alice Springs, we will
all benefit if the candidates, and especially the mayoral candidates, consider
just what a successful local player
Centrecorp seems to be.
When dealing with them, consider that
no corporation ever acquired assets like
Peter Kittle and Yeperenye while covering the shortfall on government funding.

Community
needs pride
Sir, I write in response to ‘‘Community caught in
the crossfire’’ Centralian Advocate 11/1/2008.
The tradition owners of Mutitjulu should think
outside the square they live in.
My children don’t have a swimming pool to cool
down in on hot days, so they play under the
sprinkler. I missed the rubbish collection at Christmas but instead of making a pile of unsightly
rubbish, I put it all in bags.
Come on people, you live in third world conditions
because you choose to. Letting your children swim
in the sewerage ponds everyday is disgusting.
Use some of your pension money and buy a hose
and a sprinkler, a couple of plastic buckets and a
cheap inflatable pool.
And while you are at the shop why not buy some
rubbish bags to at least clean up and hide the
rubbish you have piling up.
This is not about money, this all boils down to
pride, hygiene and respect for our homes.
You either have it or you don’t.

Sir, There is obviously
a lot of misinformation
about the financial position
of
Aboriginal
people at Mutitjulu.
Your article in Friday’s Centralian Advocate (11/1/2008) would
have us believe the
people at this community are totally dependent
on the government to
live (apart from contributions from Frontier
Services and Ingerreke).
What is happening to
the gate fees revenue to
the
Uluru
National
Park?
On a per capita basis,
the people of this community would have to be
among the richest disadvantaged people on
the planet.
Surely it is beyond
time for somebody or
some group to be held
responsible
for
this
shameful waste of opportunity to assist an
indigenous group.

Property sales
hit $30m in Dec
PUB: CADV DATE: 15-JAN-2008 PAGE: 10 COLOR: C M Y K
202902/08
Rebecca Lollback
REAL estate sales in Alice Springs reached the
$30 million mark last month.
Figures from the NT Department of Lands and
Planning show there were 107 property transfers
in December 2007, $30.1 million all up.
David Forrest from Frampton First National
Real Estate was surprised by the figures.
He said: ‘‘That is fairly high. I would think that
in a good month, the settlements would total
about $20 million.
‘‘So to reach $30 million is pretty good, especially
in December, which is a short month because of
Christmas and the other public holidays. It
indicates that property is still turning over in
Alice Springs and it shows there is a lot of
confidence in the market.’’
Mr Forrest said the sales were a ‘‘good mix’’ of
residential, commercial and industrial properties.
He said: ‘‘There were some reasonably high
Golf Course sales in there as well, up above the
$700,000 mark.’’
Mr Forrest said he expected figures from this
month to be ‘‘significantly lower’’ than those from
December.
Territory-wide real estate sales were almost
$229 million in December.
These figures show the real estate industry is
still a profitable investment in the Territory.
In 2007, property transfers totalled $3.849 billion
— an increase of $1.405 billion from 2006.
BUSINESS
IN THE CENTRE
RapidClean going strong
BEING flexible with customers and aware of their
needs is the secret to success
for Alice Springs chemicals
and cleaning supply business
RapidClean Principal Products.
With a clientele that has
been built up in the past 16
years, these values have created great loyalty and repeat
business from its customers.
Located in Stokes Street,
RapidClean Principal Products employs five people and
supplies chemicals and cleaning materials to the hospitality
industry and others who require them.
Owner Steve O’Burtill said
the most rewarding part of the
business was the fact it has
been built up from nothing to
where it is today.
The recent completion of the
first stage of the Business
Growth Program run by the
Department of Business, Economic and Regional Development (DBERD), has helped
the business consolidate and
refocus.
Mr O’Burtill said: ‘‘The program is excellent and although
it is a bit early to see the
outcomes, we have implemented changes already,
which is giving us a much
better idea of where we are
heading.
‘‘I would recommend the
program to other businesses
but to get the full benefit you
have to be open and honest.
‘‘And to get the most out of it
you have to prepared to put
the most into it.’’

of the new strategies implemented by Mr O’Burtill since
completing the program.

10 — Centralian Advocate, Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Paying a mortgage, renovating . . . and worried about rising rates.
Why the home
loan rate is rising
FIVE of Australia’s biggest banks
have raised their variable home
loan rates in the past fortnight
without being prompted by the
central bank.
Usually if the Reserve Bank of
Australia lifts interest rates — the cost
of borrowing money — the banks will
pass that on to customers.
But now they are doing so before
the RBA and they have all pointed
the finger at the global credit crisis.
Because so many US homeowners
are failing to repay their mortgages,
your home loan here in Australia is
about to become more expensive. It
costs our banks more to borrow
money so they are passing the cost to
you, the customer.
What is sub-prime?
This is the root of the problem. The
US sub-prime mortgage disaster has
only just started to rear its ugly head
and we will still be calculating the
costs in three or four years.
In the US people with little or no
income have, for many years, been
able to lock themselves into cheap
home loans, known as sub-prime
mortgages. For example, the loan
would be fixed for two to five years
after which the loan shoots up dramatically to a variable rate.
Of course, the homeowners suddenly find themselves in serious financial strife. This is what has happened on a breathtaking scale.
How many people have been caught
out by sub-prime?
It is hard to calculate exactly, as
analysts believe not all of the dodgy
US banks or lenders are revealing
how many of their customers have
gone bust.
What we do know is the proportion
of these loans 90 or more days in
arrears or in foreclosure has increased from about 6 per cent in mid2005 to more than 15 per cent.
It has not been uncommon for some
sub-prime borrowers repayments to
rise by 50 per cent or more at the end
of the introductory rate period.
What is being done about it?
The US Government last month
agreed with the mortgage industry to
freeze rates on certain sub-prime
mortgages for five years.
This will go a small way towards
helping homeowners in danger of
losing their homes when their rates
reset to sharply higher levels.
The US Government has said there
are 1.8 million sub-prime mortgages
scheduled to reset to higher rates this
year and in 2009. In other words, you
ain’t seen nothing yet.
What is the global credit crisis?
The rise in delinquencies on subprime loans is causing havoc for subprime lenders and banks.
According to some sources, more
than 200 sub-prime lenders have gone
bust since the end of 2006.
Their main problem is renewing
their own ability to borrow funds
from the bigger banks.
The global credit crisis has since
arisen because some of the world’s
biggest investment banks have been
hit through the lines of credit they
have extended to sub-prime lenders
or other indirect exposure to them.
Also, it is now much more expensive
for everyone to borrow money because of the mystery surrounding the
extent of this sub-prime mess.
It has became evident that
although Australia’s banks have long
been saying they are not directly
exposed to the sub-prime fallout,
things are not what they seem.
The four big banks invested a total
of $850 million in troubled US mortgage group Countrywide Financial,
which is on the verge of collapse.
The Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ and National Australia
Bank were part of a syndicate of 40
global banks that handed Countrywide a $13 billion financial lifeline last
year. The CBA and the NAB invested
$300 million each, while the ANZ
pumped $150 million into the deal and
Westpac $100 million.
Australia’s biggest home-mortgage
lender, the Commonwealth Bank, has
now hiked its variable home loan rate
by 10 basis points to 8.67 per cent,
blaming the credit crunch. The National Australia Bank lifted its rates by
0.12 of a percentage point, and the
ANZ made a rise of 0.2 per cent.
The Commonwealth Bank said its
profit would be hurt if it did not take
action, with the credit crisis already
costing the bank $100 million.
Treasurer Wayne Swan has said
market forces should be left to work,
with customers having the power to
pick and choose as they please. He
says he is confident Australia can ride
out the global turmoil.
Australia is well placed to ride out
the turbulence that flows from the
events in the US, but we are not
immune from it and that is what we
are talking about now.
SINCE the mid-19th century, the
Mormons have had a fascinating
and extraordinary hold on the
US imagination as polygamists
and pioneers, subversives and
patriots, hard workers and possessors of dark and baffling
secrets.
In the States, Mormons have
been persecuted more than any
other religious group.
Globally, it is also one of the
fastest growing religions.
On Friday at 7.30pm, SBS will
begin screening the four-part
documentary series The Mormons
which delves into the history of
the religion.
Mormon, or the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints had its
beginnings in 1830, when Joseph
Smith established the church.
Since its inception the church
has been the object of fear, ridicule, misinformation and persecution.
The Mormons covers many of
the defining events and central
ideas behind this faith beginning
with Joseph Smith’s first revelation and follows its transforming
impact on America’s religious
landscape.
The series looks at the role
persecution played in defining
this religious group, and follows
the Mormons’ transformation
from a polygamist theocracy to a
flourishing mainstream religion.
The worldwide growth of
Mormon has prompted some experts to predict that it will become
the most important world religion
since the rise of Islam in the
seventh century.
Today, the Mormon congregation is faced with a situation
common in other faiths and it is
confronting its past.
With unprecedented access to
Mormon archives and modernday church leaders, including interviews with church president
Gordon Hinckley, apostles, leading writers and historians, The
Mormons gives viewers a unique
perspective on the Mormon faith.

Off to see the Wizard of Oz
Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale.
THE classic family
favourite The Wizard
of Oz will light up
screens on Imparja at
7.30am on Satuday.
The film features
Judy
Garland
as
Dorothy Gale, Ray
Bolger as the Scarecrow, Jack Haley as the
Tin Woodman, Bert
Lahr as the Cowardly
Lion, Billie Burke as
Glinda the Good Witch
of the North, Margaret
Hamilton
as
the
Wicked Witch of the
West
and
Frank
Morgan as the Wizard.
The
film
follows
Kansas girl Dorothy
who lives on her aunt
and uncle’s depressionera farm while dreaming of a better place.
After a destructive
tornado hits the farm,
Dorothy and her dog
Toto
are
magically
transported to Oz.
Dorothy is instructed
by the Good Witch of
the North to follow the
Yellow Brick Road to
the Emerald City, to
meet the Wizard of Oz
who may know how to
return her to Kansas.
During her journey
she meets a Scarecrow,
Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion who aid her
in her journey to the
Emerald City each hoping to receive what they
lack themselves.
Initially, The Wizard
of Oz was considered a
commercial flop compared to its budget.
However, the film received much attention
after frequent television screenings and
has since become one of
the most beloved films
of all time.
It is often ranked
among the top 10 best
movies of all time in
various critics’ and popular polls, and has pro-
vided as many quotes to
popular culture as any
other film in history.
Its signature song,
Over the Rainbow, sung
by the young Judy Garland, has been voted
the greatest movie song
of all time.

STARDUST: The Bette Davis
Story is a documentary about the
extraordinary film career of
Bette Davis, one of the most
gifted and versatile actresses to
emerge from the Hollywood studio system.
Among her best known films are
Of Human Bondage, Jezebel, Dark
Victory, Now, Voyager, All About
Eve and The Letter.
Even though in real life her offscreen persona may have presented a modern female who
blazed trails in a man’s world,
Ruth Elizabeth Davis possessed a
temperament driven by compulsions instilled in childhood that
left her in the end, by her own
admission, one lonely, distinctly
un-modern woman.
Stardust: The Bette Davis Story
takes viewers on a psychological
treasure hunt for the soul of a
person so buried in contradiction
and her self-styled legend that
fact and fiction became indistinguishable.
Narrated by Academy Awardwinning actress Susan Sarandon,
the documentary features original interviews with Jane Fonda,
Ellen Burstyn, Gena Rowlands
and James Woods who discuss
scenes from Davis’s greatest
films.
Bette’s son, Michael Merrill,
speaks for the first time about his
parents’ violent marriage and his
sister’s blistering memoir, My
Mother’s Keeper, as well as revealing shocking details surrounding
the mysterious death of Bette’s
second husband.
Along with these revelations,
the filmmakers were given unrestricted access to Davis’s vast
personal archives for the first
time, which makes this documentary a complete and entertaining
biography.
The documentary can be seen
on ABC at 8.30pm on Thursday.

The comeback
of nuclear fuel
ANOTHER hilarious rerun of Friends
can be found on Imparja at 7pm.
After Mr Heckles dies and leaves all his
belongings to Monica and Rachel, Chandler discovers eerie similarities between the
late eccentric man and his own life.
Ross and Phoebe have a dispute over the
progression of evolution.
Stars: David Schwimmer, Jennifer
Aniston, Matthew Perry, Courteney Cox,
Matt Le Blanc and Lisa Kudrow.
NUCLEAR power currently
supplies 16 per cent of the
world’s energy.
For the remainder, we rely
heavily on the burning of fossil
fuels.
In Australia, 80 per cent of its
electricity comes from the
burning of coal alone.
From 8.30pm today on SBS,
in the Cutting Edge timeslot is
The Nuclear Comeback, a film
that goes on a worldwide tour
of the nuclear industry in
search of answers.
Dr Ian Smith, Australian Nuclear Science and Technology
Organisation (ANSTO) said:
‘‘Australia has a particular
problem, 90 per cent of our
electricity comes from fossil
fuels — and that makes Australia one of the largest emitters of
carbon per head of population
in the world.’’
Nuclear power, however, has
significant environmental
benefits. It produces radically
low levels of carbon emissions
and suddenly, in the face of
climate change, the view on
nuclear power is being explored
and welcomed more and more.
Currently 27 nuclear plants
are operating around the world
and 136 are due to commence
within the next decade.
Dr Smith tells The Nuclear
Comeback that it would take 14
or more nuclear power stations
in Australia to produce just 20
per cent of our energy supply.
It would also change Australia’s political positioning glo-

THE quirky Brittish sitcom Jam and
Jerusalem is screening on ABC at 8pm.
Jam and Jerusalem is set in the small
West Country village of Clatterford St
Mary and is based around Sal, a local
practice nurse.
The surgery’s indiscreet receptionist, Tip,
is also her best friend, and both are at the
centre of community life.
While Sal (Sue Johnston) is getting used
to having Tash living at home again, at
times it drives her crazy and she finds
herself popping into the surgery for some

THE last episode of the final series of
Parkinson will feature on ABC this evening.

Connolly, Dame Judi Dench, Sir David
Attenborough, Sir Michael Caine, Peter
Kay and Dame Edna Everage with music
by Jamie Cullum.
Viewers can expect a final show befitting
a true TV legend.
Despite nuclear power’s environmental merits, critics
claim that it produces waste
that needs to be stored for
100,000 years, and the industry
has a reputation for accidents
and cover-ups.

Your Daily Stars...with Margie Thillart
ARIES: (March 21 to April 20) * * * *
Mercury improves interaction and augments platonic relationships.
Not only does stimulating conversation add purpose to your day
but you also are made to feel part of select group when mixing with
like-minded people.
TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21) * * *
Nostalgic thoughts strike an emotional chord. Reminders of the
past come in unusual ways and you remember a person or set
of circumstances fondly. Once the mood passes you move onto
more practical matters.
GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21) * * * *
Your ruler Mercury delivers abstract ideas and a busier social
life. You might burn the candle at both ends occasionally but are
hyper-aware of capitalising on the energy while it lasts. Recovery
can come later.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23) * * *
An unpopular decision needs to be made. Rather than shirking
from the issue, you find creative ways to get your message across
without offending anyone. Your ideas might be cutting edge but
they deserve a hearing.
LEO: (July 24 to August 23) * * * *
Look at big picture issues and let others take care of the details. Mercury
the messenger transits your artistic area, making you a mover-andshaker rather than assistant to others. Get on the front foot today.
VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23) * * *
Having to strut your stuff on the big stage can be both daunting and
exhilarating. Set aside fears and fake your intentions, bearing in mind
that other people are not privy to your feelings.
LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23) * * * *
Surprisingly one of your madcap ideas is considered feasible. The
pendulum of life is swinging your way and others are sold on a leftfield suggestion you bravely make. Your greatest strength today is
leadership.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22) * *
To avoid any fuss leave nothing to chance. Forces could conspire
against you and despite the best possible effort details might be
overlooked. Check your ego at the door but keep your mind firmly
focussed.
SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22) * * *
Chaotic energy strikes a chord and you are reminded that anything
goes. Rather than hanging with the usual crowd, you are drawn
towards offbeat people with different social or moral values and
subversive views.
CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20) * * *
A stickler for detail, you are in danger of becoming obsessive about
a particular issue. Monitor thoughts carefully and stop yourself from
crossing that fine line. A sense of humour could be your saving
grace today.
AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19) * * * *
A plan needs tweaking before being implemented. Allow some
breathing space so that you can run a fresh eye over progress
made thus far. You have the answers and skills but must slow
down the pace.

Exciting Opportunity in ALICE SPRINGS
At the cutting edge of Remote Indigenous
TELEVISION & RADIO
MANAGER
$55,000 - $65,000
IRCA FUNCTIONS as a peak body and
resource agency to 8 Remote Indigenous
Media Organizations (RIMOs), that in turn
represent over one hundred and fifty remote
and very remote communities that broadcast
TELEVISION and RADIO Australia-wide.
IRCA works with Indigenous media makers in
remote communities to employ television and
radio communications for better outcomes in
health and social well-being, and to boost selfesteem, identity, and community pride. To this
purpose, Indigenous Media has an essential
role in celebrating culture and history, affirming
the contemporary lives of community members,
re-producing and maintaining language, aiding
broader community development aims, promoting economic self-sufficiency, and, crucially,
giving communities a means of expression.
THE ROLE OF THE MANAGER will be to bring
together members in meetings; provide secretariat and coordination services to the
Governing Committee; research and formulate
policy on media training, production and
distribution; actively coordinate and promote
the goals of IRCA to Government and NGOs;
assist with organization of the National Remote
Indigenous Media Festival.
IRCA currently is the auspicing agency for the
Indigenous Community Television Service
(ICTV), and so, for an interim period, the IRCA
MANAGER will also be required to assist with
the ongoing promotion and management of the
ICTV Service. Importantly, over the next 6
months IRCA will play a central role in
negotiating changes to broadcasting arrangements for ICTV as remote Indigenous programming is incorporated into the new National
Indigenous Television Service (NITV).

Big haul
for Wests

Schoeman

Max Bennett
FANIE Schoeman took five wickets as Wests
dismissed Federal for 40 runs to claim a comfortable 64 run win under lights at Traeger
Park.
Schoeman was deadly finishing with 5/20 and
was well supported by Mark Hooper (2/8) and
Craig James (2/6).
The South African paceman said it was a great
win for the side and a good personal achievement.

He said: ‘‘It was the first time I have taken five
wickets in Alice Springs since I came over.
‘‘105 was not a big total to defend but we got a
few quick breakthroughs early on and put the
pressure back on them.’’
Alice trio wows crowd
Cricket
Max Bennett
Jayden Dick and Ned Gaynor
THE Territory almost pulled
off the upset of the tournament when Alice Springs trio
Ned Gaynor, Jayden Dick
and Harry Weeks put on a
batting exhibition during the
national primary schools
cricket championships.
The boys accumulated
nearly half their side’s score
as the Territory fell only 29
runs short of the Victorian
score of 9/128.
The Territory looked in the
box seat at 6/96 thanks to the
red centre connection, led by
an outstanding 20 from Ned
Gaynor, but in the end fell in a
heap finishing all out for 99.
Alice Springs-based NT
Cricket development officer
Mark Smith said the boys
settled into some great form.
He said: ‘‘The Alice Springs
boys they played some great
cricket in particular against
Victoria.’’
The performance drew
special praise from winning
Victorian coach Kelly Masters, who said it was the best
Territory team in many years.
The boys finished the championships against South Australia.
The Territory batted manfully making 97 and had their
southern opponents at 3/18,
but could not hold on as the
Redbacks reached 5/105.
The highlight for the team
was the Territory’s first win
since 2004 against the ACT.
Sulzberger heroics
fail to help Works
Cricket
Max Bennett
Schoeman has been a revelation for Wests since
he came over from the picturesque coastal city of
Port Elizabeth only three months ago but said it
has taken him a while to get used to the heat.
A Matt Sulzberger
cricket master class
was not enough for
RSL as they went
down to Memo Rovers
by three wickets at
Albrecht Oval.
The Works skipper
was in classic touch,
making an unbeaten 95
including 64 off three
Rory Hood overs.
‘‘After the first few games I was exhausted.
‘‘In Port Elizabeth we play cricket when it is 25
degrees, then I come here and it is 40 degrees but
I am used to it now.’’
Wests struggled with the bat again, with their
top order failing to support the lone hand Jamie
Coutts, who made a well-earned 50 as his side was
bowled for 104 in the 41st over.
The Rovers skipper
had bowled tidily with
figures of 1/14 off six
overs before Sulzberger
dismantled Hood with
21, 29 and 15 off his final
three overs.
Leading the line for Feds was David Hair, who
finished with the figures of 3/14 and was complemented by the spinners of Jarrod Wapper (2/21)
and the pace of Gavin McGargill (2/21).
A shell-shocked Hood
finished with figures of
1/79 off nine overs.
It was a dismal batting display by Feds lasting
just 20 overs to reach 40 runs.
The innings started badly for the Demons as
they fell to 3/7 after only three overs and it did not
stop there, as Wests continued the rampage to
finish off their badly out-of-form opponents.
The RSL skipper
played a lone hand with
the top again failing to
make a significant contribution as Works
reached 9/198 after
they were struggling at
5/76.
The Feds’ innings total was the lowest by any
team in this season’s competition, 35 runs below
the Wests round five total of 75.
It does not get any easier for Feds as they come
up against Rovers, while Wests will look to
continue their winning ways as they face off with
RSL at Albrecht Oval.
Sulzberger said it was
just one of those days
on the field.
He said: ‘‘I was seeing
them as big as beach
balls.

‘‘It is always nice to
hit Hoody (Rory Hood)
around.’’
Will Smith led the
attack for the Rovers
claiming 3/23 and he
was ably supported by
the in-form Blayne
Cornford (2/12).
RSL looked to be on
the front foot with
Rovers struggling at
5/97, but Cornford (80),
who was dropped on
first ball, and David
Quan (43 not out),
steadied the ship guiding their side to a comfortable victory reaching 7/202 with nine
overs remaining.
Sulzberger led the attack for Works, claiming three scalps to cap
off a brilliant solo display.
Sulzberger said: ‘‘We
needed a few more
batsmen to get into
double figures and our
bowlers needed to be
tighter.’’
The unstoppable
Rovers are almost certain to consolidate top
spot when they face
Feds under the Traeger
Park lights this weekend, while Works will be
confident of regaining
their winning form
against the rejuvenated Wests outfit at
Albrecht Oval.
Big pace display
Cricket
Max Bennett
ALICE Springs quick Joel Robertson put together a great display of
pace bowling taking 3/23 but it was
not enough to see his side to victory
as the Territory went down by 31
runs to Queensland in the Under
17s National Championships.
Robertson was the stand-out
bowler for Territory under 17s team
claiming his 3/23 off 15 overs, impressing coach David Andrews.
Andrews said: ‘‘Joel has been great
all tournament.
‘‘He has bowled an exceptional line
and length and if you do that more
often than not you will take the
wickets and against Queensland he
did.
‘‘Joel has a great work ethic and is
always wanting to improve and become a better and smarter player.’’
After restricting the Queensland
side to 189 the Territory were unable
to get early runs, falling to 4/42.
The side never recovered and were
bowled out for a disappointing 158,
which Andrews said has typified the
problems for his side during the
tournament.
He said: ‘‘Our batting has never
really clicked and has let us down but
the bowling and fielding has been as
good as any other team at the
championships.’’
The loss compounded the disappointing result against the ACT
where the bowling was again let
down by the failure of the top order
to make the runs.
The Territory will play their last
match of the national championships with a two day game against
Western Australia at the University
of Melbourne’s Harry Trott Oval
starting today. Andrews will be hoping to end the tournament in style
with a win.
‘‘Our bowlers will be able to defend
a total of 200 so it is up to the batting
to hang in there and work hard.’’

A CARNIVAL atmosphere
immersed Anzac Oval on
Saturday evening for the
first Kiwi versus Aussie
game since 2004.
CARU president Stuart
Bright said the turnout on the
night was ‘‘fantastic’’ and created a great atmosphere for
the first running of the game
in four years.
‘‘We did not even think
there would be a game but it
was a great crowd and it was
nice to see people putting in
the effort to come down and
watch the game and have
some fun.’’
In recent years the CARU
has not been able to run the
trans-Tasman clash through
lack of interest and lack of
numbers, but Saturday’s
showing has given hope to
having the match return to
the calendar.
In a real vote of confidence
for the fixture, both nations
had full sides, with 36 players
participating in the game.
Bright said the Kiwis always
have trouble fielding a team
as most of the players spend
the festive season in their
homeland.
He said: ‘‘Most of the Kiwi
boys go home but there are
always a few Aussie blokes
who want to be Kiwi.’’
The match itself was
dominated by the Kiwis
who enjoyed the services of
a few handy Aussie players
on their way to a comfortable five tries to one victory.
The game was the perfect
warm-up as the competition returns to action this
weekend with Cubs up
against Kiwi and Eagles
facing off with the Devils.
Taking one for the team
Cycling
Steve Menzies
Alexis Rhodes
PLAYING her part
for the team meant
Alexis Rhodes sacrificed any chance she
had of winning the
Australian road race
championship near
Ballarat on Saturday.
She said: ‘‘Cycling is a
special sport in that
only one person is recognised as a winner but,
behind the scenes, a
whole team is helping
them get there.’’
The 102km event was
won by her Team High
Road teammate and
pre-race favourite
Oenone Wood in a
sprint to the line in the
final lap.
Rhodes dropped out
of contention after
eight laps of the 10-lap
race when there was a
break of eight riders
including Wood and
‘‘teammate’’ Vicki
Whitelaw.
Whitelaw, like Wood,
comes from ACT and
was not in a team for
the event, so joined
with the Team High
Road duo.
Wood, 27, readily acknowledged
and
thanked Rhodes and
Whitelaw for the role
they played in her win.
Rhodes said: ‘‘It is
nice when that (the
thanks and public acknowledgement) happens.
‘‘It was always the
race plan to keep it (the
peloton) together in the
early stages of the race
to make sure Oenone
was in a position to win.
‘‘There were a couple
of early breaks but we
were not worried with
them and when
Oenone and Vicki went
with them we were confident she could win.
‘‘So I just sat back in
the second bunch and
had a pretty easy day
actually.’’
Kenyan-born Victorian rookie Sharon
Laws, contesting only
her eighth bike race,
was second only two
seconds behind Wood
with Athens Olympic
gold medallist in the
event Sara Carrigan
23 seconds further
back.
After a great start
to the year, beginning with her fourth
Holdfast
Bay
criterium win, Team
High Road expects to
see great things from
Rhodes in 2008.
She finished the
102km road race in
16th position at the
back of a group of
seven other riders,
including defending
champion Katie
Mactier, 3 minutes 11
seconds behind
Wood.
Whitelaw finished
fifth in a group of
five riders, 51 seconds
behind Wood.
Rhodes returned to
Adelaide on Sunday
and is working for
her father until
heading to USA for a
Team High Road
training camp in
about two weeks.
