Tjupi Band played their hearts out for the crowd, even being joined on stage by Mayor Jeffrey McLaughlin, who got a reminder of how long it has been since he played hand drums, and what muscles he needs to use to play them. The bacon and egg sandwiches and coffee were popular, but café workers and volunteers kept the lines moving quickly. With the jumping castle, face painting and even a visit from Donald Duck the kids were able to have a barrel of fun while the adults enjoyed the live music. A great finale to a week of activities that the NAIDOC Committee should be proud of. Turn to pages 10-11 for more photo coverage.

news Happy 80th Birthday Beth Staunton! IT’S not often these days that you see birthday shout outs in the Tennant Times, but when it is a milestone birthday and you are a Tennant Creek institution it is something that is not only news- worthy, but just has to be done. That is quite definitely the case in this instance, you only turn 80 once, so you may as well make a big deal of it. Today is Beth Staunton’s 80th birthday, and the Ten- nant Times would like to join in the chorus of Happy Birthday for this wonderful lady and long-time resident of Tennant Creek, who came here as a teenager and stayed to marry and raise a family here, not to mention become involved with many community activities such as the Golf Club and the Show Society Beth originally came to the Territory at age 16 to join her parents, her father being a teacher and Aboriginal Welfare worker, in Ali Curung (then Warrabri). She met Denis Staunton, who was to become her husband, as she got off the plane. She raised five children who are now scattered across the country, but who returned to Tennant Creek for her birthday today. She also now has 10 grandchildren and six great grandchildren, and continues to live in her home in Tennant Creek. Let’s all raise a glass to toast this amazing great grandmother and wish her an absolutely wonderful 80th birthday.

THE RSAS and PaCE teams traveled to Canteen Creek to celebrate NAIDOC Week with the community and have a lot of great fun with the children at the school. The activities undertaken were lots of fun playing target ball and the painting of various artwork and the finished products were admired by all. A wonderful lunch was provided consisting of a nutritious bar-b-que and salad with fresh fruit to end off the meal. All the great attenders that attend school regularly received a great NAIDOC shirt to remember the day. The smiles on everyone’s face were a pleasure to see and the knowledge that all had a great day of activities, and the involvement of all community members is what makes Canteen Creek a great community.
