A MONTH comes around quickly when there is a lot happening.
The Tennant Creek Go-Kart Grand Prix has become a major drawcard for Tennant
and we held the magazine back a few days so we could bring you the results
in words and pictures.
Sales have been good here in town, Katherine and Alice Springs. As we
forge better contacts with other places along the Track we'll be on the
way to getting the Barkly covered.
There are good stories ahead in the coming months. The changes to the
provision of unemployment benefits is going to have quite an impact on
towns like ours. CDEP and 'Work for the Dole' schemes are going to be
much more common and for some people they may even become mandatory.
Still, it's the enterprise schemes that have the best chance of long-term
success, so we'll wait and see.
