Croc man hopes census has teeth to deliver

THE census confuses Alice

Springs reptile handler Rex
Neindorf.
The Alice Springs Reptile
Centre director is not sure if
he should include house-
mates Terry and Frank on
the form tonight.
So he’s rightfully going to
leave them off — because the
questions don’t apply to salt-
water crocodiles and goan-
nas. Tonight is when every-
one in Australia has to fill
out the census.
It happens once every five
years and the information is
used by the Government to
allocate spending and learn
about people in Australia
and their needs.
Mr Neindorf’s daughter
Hannah also celebrates her
six-month birthday today
and will be officially counted
COLOR: C M Y K
for the first time.

He hopes that there will be
plenty of questions on the
census about the need for
more childcare facilities in
Alice Springs – which is a
bugbear of his.
The census form can also
be filled in online.
This year is the 16th cen-
sus in Australia and the
100th anniversary since it
was started.
Forms will be collected

Time to learn
road lessons
THE carnage on Northern Territory roads seems
never-ending.
Despite a massive road safety campaign, the
number of people killed on NT roads remains as high
as Third World countries.
Experts argue that the new safety measures —

everything from red-light cameras to highway speed
limits — will have an effect.
Similar initiatives in Victoria took at least two years
to start making a significant difference in the
accident statistics.
The Territory, being the Territory, will no doubt
take longer to learn the lesson. *Wicking is on holiday
The terrible accident in Darwin on Sunday — when a
woman and her relative died, and the woman’s
husband was seriously injured — was not caused by

GIRLS from a remote Top
End community have set
up a website to sell the
artwork of their elders.
The artists produce
high-quality baskets,
dilly bags, mats, neck-

carvings, didgeridoos
and paintings.
Students from Numbul-

Darwin, have put pictures
and descriptions of the
artworks, as well as short
biographies of the artists,
on to the website.
The arts and crafts are a
part of the cultural heri-
tage of the region and now
form the basis for the es-

munity’s first arts centre.
Until the website was
established, there was no
organised sales outlets for
the hand-made pieces,
which are sought after by
tourists and collectors.

quiz
IT IS often said that

English is one of the
hardest languages to
learn, largely because
of its tricky rules and hy-
brid language roots.
English has been a
work-in-progress for hun-
dreds of years and
today bares little or no
resemblance to the Eng-
lish spoken just a few hun-
dred years ago.
All answers to this
week’s quiz can be found
within the project page.
1. In how many countries
is English the main lang-
uage spoken?
2. Roughly how many peo-
ple is English spoken by?
3. Roughly how many
words make up the Eng-
lish language?
4. How often is a new
word created?

Bushratz
fire up in
historic
battle
LAST weekend saw the first
junior rugby union played in
Jabiru for children aged
under-10 years when Casuar-
ina and the local junior Bush-
ratz did battle.
Casuarina Cougars junior
rugby union coach Brian
Anderson took charge of a
team of under-7s and under-
9s that laid on a challenge for
the rugby-starved young-
sters in Jabiru.
‘‘With the exception of
Auskick, this is the only or-
ganised sport that has been
offered to kids in Jabiru for
many, many years,’’ said
Bushratz club coach Drew
Weaver.
‘‘And it was done on the in-
itiative of Cougars because a
few our kids travel to Darwin
every Friday to turn out for
the Casuarina juniors in the
NTRU competition.’’
The Jabiru under-7 team
was made up of five boys and
two girls with the standout
player being Bradman Bat-
kin, while his little sister
Dawn also shone, scoring a
great winger’s try.
The under-9s were fast and
furious with Bushratz

‘‘The under-7 game took a

said. ‘‘Both games were de-

Caddie’s swipe at Tiger
CADDIE Steve Williams didn’t miss with a hefty
verbal swipe at former boss Tiger Woods after
new employer Adam Scott won the WGC-
Bridgestone Invitational.
Now on Scott’s bag after being fired by Woods,
Williams used the Australian’s four-shot victory
against the world’s best in Ohio yesterday to vent
emotion after a parting that cut deep.
‘‘It’s the greatest week of my life caddying and I
sincerely mean that,’’ said New Zealander Williams,
despite having been the closest witness to 13 of
Woods’ 14 major titles amid 72 victories together.
Scott made no bones about Williams’ value to his
win: ‘‘He really guided me around the course nicely.
When he needed to step in and just make a point of
where we need to be, he did that.’’
