■ Narre Warren South MLA Gary Maas has spoken in State Parliament this month about the O’Shea Rd upgrade at Berwick.

“The matter I wish to raise is for the attention of the Minister for Transport Infrastructure and concerns the O’Shea Rd upgrade as part of the Monash Freeway upgrade stage 2 project,” Mr Maas said.

“The action I seek is that the minister provide an update on the progress of the O’Shea Rd upgrade in my electorate of Narre Warren South.

“The Andrews Labor Government has invested record amounts into our transport infrastructure, which continues to create more jobs and deliver upgraded roads for safer and more efficient travel.

“Victoria’s Big Build has delivered massive changes across the state to improve transport connections, user accessibility and safety, with less time needed to travel, meaning more time at home with our loved ones.

“The O’Shea Rd upgrade will reduce congestion and provide easier access to the Beaconsfield interchange leading to the Princes Freeway and Monash Freeway, which will benefit so many in our community.

“I have also previously raised constituents’ concerns for the project on matters around sound barriers, light-

ing, amenity and privacy, and I appreciate the minister’s previous advice, responses and consideration of these issues which I have taken to my community.

“I thank everyone for their patience during the works, and I appreciate all the feedback I have received on the project.

“I hope that even those opposed to the upgrade will soon see the benefits of this major arterial link which will help so many now and into the future.

“The project was funded by State and Federal Governments and supported by our City of Casey.

“I would appreciate if the minister could provide an update on the progress of the O’Shea Rd upgrade, and I look forward to sharing the minister’s response with my community,” Mr Maas said.

Government Minister Anthony Carbines ackowledged the question from Mr Maas.

“I will ensure these matters are passed on to the relevant honourable ministers for their action,” Mr Carbines said.

Masons assist Scouts

■ Members of two local Freemasons lodges meeting in Berwick joined last Wednesday (Aug. 10) for the handover of a $5000 cheque to 1st Casey Scout Group.

The 'Worshipful Masters' of both lodges joined forces to each raise $1000 which was added to by the Freemasons Foundation to make a $5000 donation.

The Scouts will purchase mar-

quees and cooking equipment for use when out camping.

Masonic lodges have met in Berwick since 1924 and continue with their charitable work supporting organisations, particularly young people, across the Berwick and surrounding areas.

Freemasonry is one of the world's oldest fraternities dating back to Medieval constructions.

● Matthew Guy ■ Opposition Leader Matthew Guy lurches from disaster to disaster, just three months out from the State Election on November 26.

Flamboyant Chief-of-Staff Mitch Catlin suddenly left Mr Guy’s office after a Liberal Party supporter received a request to top up Catlin’s salary by $100,000.

The Liberal leader has been unsuccessfully trying to stub out questions, saying the document was never sent by him to Jonathan Munz, who received it from someone else anyway.

Catlin quit. So too did senior Liberal staffer Lee Anderson. And Guy’s Diary Manager. This follows on from the disastrous hiring (and departure after a week) of former Age scribbler Suzanne Carbone, whose previous less-than-complimentary writings about Matthew Guy were revealed.

Now the Victorian Electoral Commission has called on Matthew Guy’s office to furnish allo the documentation relating to Catlin’s top-up plan. The VEC wants to discover if the proposed arrangement complied with its laws.

Pearson follow-up

■ State Housing Minister Danny Pearson wighed in: “Matthew Guy needs to answer this simple question: ‘Since the new electoral laws came into force on November 25, 2018, has anyone employed by the Opposition been paid by an undeclared source?”

Election agenda?

■ Observers are closely watching the proposed launch next month of a new suburban media company, the Chronicle Newspaper Group, which claims to be starting 55 monthly versions, each of 20,000, across Melbourne just prior to the State Election.

The group’s circulation map is based on state electorates in the Melbourne emtropolitan area. Industry sources say the paper costs alone for its claimed 1.2 million copies print run would be more than $500,000 per month. A multi-million dollar start-up in the old media sector would be remarkable.

The company has been advertising on Seek for an Advertising Account Manager (up to $70,000), Sub-Editors, a Political Sub-Editor, and ‘Spokes Models’ (from $35 per hour) to hand out free newspapers at railway stations in the early morning and afternoon.

The ‘Chronicle Newspaper Group’ has a website at chroniclemedia.com.au Phillip Allan Reid is shown as Director of Chronicle Newspaper Group Pty Ltd, which lists a Post Office box in Frankston as contact point, in Australian Securities and Investments Commission returns.

Curiously, the company filed for voluntary deregistration back on April 4, according to ASIC records.

$300,000 for sculpture ■ Installation artist and film-maker Natasha Johns-Messenger has been awarded the $300,000 Southern Way McClelland Commission 2023 for her dynamic sculpture project, Compass 23, to be installed on the Peninsula Link freeway in October next year.

The new sculpture is part of a unique and award-winning public art program along the freeway which is managed by McClelland.

It will replace Lover Flower(byJohn Meade with Emily Karanikolopolous), which will be relocated from the Cranbourne Rd exit ramp to McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery, Langwarrin, as a part of the permanent collection.

Compass 23 involves a line-drawing sculptural proposition comprising 12-metre high simple powder coated and stainless steel geometric structures that evoke volume and dis-orientation.

The forms are based on the navigation pillars of North, South, East and West, and will be placed with these orientations in mind.

topography, light /spatial orientation, materiality and context, within an exploration of the concepts of phenomenology and perception.

“Engaging perceptual shifts inside simple geometric framing, my artworks aim to question our expectations of space and three-dimensional form, utilising spatial and material conundrums to create a chasm between what we think we know and what we perceive, and to heighten awareness,” Ms JohnsMessenger said.

The commission is part of an ongoing program of new sculptures that alternates every two years between sites at Skye Rd and Cranbourne Rd along the Peninsula Link freeway, resulting in 14 commissions over the 25-year period to 2037.

Southern Way donates funding for the sculptures. After four years on public display the commissions are relocated to McClelland as part of its permanent outdoor sculpture collection.

McClelland director, Lisa Byrne, says Compass 23 will be a wonderful visual surprise for commuters to experience.

“Natasha JohnsMessenger’s Compass 2023 is the seventh work as part of this unique sculpture commissioning program.

The selection panel was Lisa Byrne, Director, McClelland; Rory Hyde, McClelland Trustee, John Young, McClelland Trustee and Melissa Keyes, Senior Curator Heide Museum of Modern Art.

Local News Win Canberra trip

■ Year 10 to 12 students across the Mornington Peninsula could win a trip to Canberra and have the opportunity to speak in Parliament House as part of the 2022 My First Speech competition.

Flinders MHR Zoe McKenzie says this competition will provide the opportunity for three students from across Australia to be flown to Canberra with a parent or guardian to present their speeches live and undertake a program at Parliament House.

The competition asks Years 10 to 12 students to consider what they would say if they were a newly elected Member of the House of Representatives and record themselves presenting the speech on video.

Ms McKenzie encouraged all eligible Mornington Peninsula students to enter.

“As a primary school student, I was transformed by a trip to Canberra, learning about the processes of government and the workings of democracy,” Ms McKenzie said.

“This competition is a wonderful way for our next generation of community leaders to, quite literally, have their say in our national Parliament.”

“In addition to them reading their speech in Parliament House, if a Mornington Peninsula winner is selected, I will also welcome them to attend the House of Representatives, where I will also read their words into Hansard, where they will stay for the rest of time.

“While it is most important to make sure that speeches are submitted to www.aph.gov.au/myfirstspeech in order to have a chance to win the prize, I would love to receive copies of speeches and, if I am able, to read others into Hansard during sitting weeks.

“I look forward to seeing many wonderful entries from the Peninsula over the next few weeks. Good luck to all who enter.”

Students looking for more information and to submit their speech can do so at www.aph.gov.au/myfirstspeech Entries for the competition close at 5pm, August 31.

Cran. GP Run axed

■ The City of Casey has decided to no longer host the annual Cranbourne GP Run event, effective this year.

The event has not been held for the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which had also caused the cancellation of the Moto GP at Phillip Island.

Casey Council has faced escalating traffic management costs to manage the event, with approximately 60 per cent of the $93,000 event budget required to manage the closure of the South Gippsland Hwy during the event.

The population in and around Cranbourne has also grown since the inception of the event, meaning the event has a significant effect not only on traffic travelling through Cranbourne on the South Gippsland Highway, but also the surrounding road network.

Local traders have also raised concerns about the difficulty customers face trying to access businesses in the area.

City of Casey Chief Executive Officer, Glenn Patterson, said the Council was aware that many in the community valued the event, and the decision to cancel it was not made lightly.

“The idea for this event was born 24 years ago in response to road safety concerns about a mass of riders heading to Phillip Island for the Grand Prix,” Mr Patterson said.

“However, Council must take a strategic approach to how we support businesses and support the local cultural and tourism industry in a way that will bring the greatest benefits.

“Council has taken into account the significant costs of running the event, the disruption to local traffic and we are also aware of the frustration experienced by a number of Cranbourne businesses, who face considerable disruption due to the road closure, without seeing an increase in patronage.

“We will be retaining this event budget and are investigating options for another community event in the Cranbourne area that offers greater enjoyment and more benefits to residents and ratepayers, with details to be announced at a future date,” Mr Patterson said.

■ Melbourne Observer arts writer Peter Kemp's interest in theatre started in 1939 when accompanying his mother to the Royal Exhibition Buildings in Carlton to see Hiawatha.

As a toddler, Peter recalls Hiawatha in a canoe standing with arms folded across his chest, sailing offstage.

Peter says: "It must have an impact on me as I have been interested in theatre ever since."

His mother was an avid theatre goer, taking her sons along whenever possible. This resulted in Peter's brother becoming director and conductor of the Whitehorse Brass Band, and his sister became a ballet dancer.

Her daughter now follows in her mother's footsteps running several ballet schools in Ireland.

As a young lad, Peter joined the local Scout troop where the Group Scoutmaster was a member of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, so a theatre production was organised each year as a fundraiser.

"We certainly had a theatrical start to life," says Peter. "As we progressed through scouting and reached Rovers, it was my job to do makeup for the rehearsals. When the professional team came out they were impressed, so I had the job of doing make up for the production."

After hitchhiking with a mate around Europe, USA and Mexico in 1957 and attending the Jubilee of Scouting in England, Peter felt something was missing when arriving back in Australia.

He was working full-time and because of his Scouting experience became a member of the Bushwalkers Association Search and Rescue Team.

"We were involved with assisting the Police when anyone was lost in the bush," explains Peter. ‘ "This kept up until the 1990s and I was appointed 2IC Search and Rescue State HQ Civil Defence. When Civil Defence was changed to State Emergency Service, I was appointed Officer in Charge Search and Rescue Division State HQ State Emergency Service.

As Peter was also seeking to return to theatre, his sister suggested he take up ballet. "Well, this was in the fifties, imagine my feelings," laughs Peter. So instead she suggested he join a Spanish Dance troupe that rehearsed in the ballet studios. Peter had seen Spanish Dancing in Europe so joined the group, performing in stage shows, cabarets, TV and films.

Melbourne says farewell to Lillian Frank

● Peter Kemp By now he was more attuned to dancing, and Peter was granted a scholarship by the Ballet Guild of Victoria where he danced until later in life until injuring his leg and having to retire.

He then became an extra on TV and films, and "Yes, I had plenty of work on Neighbours.

Peter still loved theatre and while a journalist for a local paper on the SES, a friend introduced him to the editor of The Herald and Weekly Times, explaining she was going overseas and Peter was to take over her column until she returned.

Peter has been writing theatre ever since and worked for many papers, including being one of the founders of Stage Whispers.

While working for the Leader Newspaper Group, Peter became an Arts Writer, and is now the Arts Writer for The Local Paper and the Melbourne Observer.

Peter says, "With my other work in Search and Rescue, publicity writer for the Boer War Association, the National Servicemen's Association of Australia and the Waverley RSL, I was knighted by Prince Leonard of the Principality of Hutt River so now I am Sir Peter Kemp KOWL." - Cheryl Threadgold

● Lillian and Richard Frank.

Photo; Ash Long ■ Melbourne mourns socialite Lillian Frank, who has died at the age of 92.

Daughter, Jackie Frank, announced the news on social media, saying her family had lost its "heart and soul".

"She lived life to the max, without any regrets and was forever grateful," Ms Frank said.

"She used her flamboyant personality and social standing for good, raising millions and millions for charity.

"She had a very public life and I was often asked what's it like growing up with Lillian Frank as your mum?

"My answer, to us she was mum, to my kids' nani and the most spectacular selfless human being in the world with the biggest heart."

"She saw the good in everyone and everything".

Lillian Frank was made a Member of the Order of Australia and a Member of the Order of the British Empire for her charity and community work.

The Victoria Racing Club paid tribute to Ms Frank, highlighting her impact on the fashion of the Melbourne Cup, where she served as a longtime judge of Myer Fashions on the Field.

"Lillian left an indelible mark on the Melbourne Cup Carnival, where she attended nearly every year for 50 years," VRC Chairman Neil Wilson said.

"Her impeccable sense of style and vibrant personality helped elevate the VRC's Fashions on the Field competition to one of the most popular and prestigious outdoor fashion events in Australia, if not the world."

Local Theatre She Swallowed That Lie

■ Somebody’s Daughter Theatre Company presents the premiere of She Swallowed That Lie – an Australian theatre production created and performed in collaboration with women who have lived prison experience and marginalised youth from regional Victoria.

Playing at Chapel Off Chapel from August 25-27, it is the story of eight gutsy women and their life inside prison to life outside.

Weaving original music, dance and song into the storyline, She Swallowed That Lie gives insight into the resilience of these brave performers, uniquely capturing the stories and voices of women who have experienced the cycles that lead to incarceration.

She Swallowed That Lie is centred around the characters of Charlie and Baylee, both of whom are 18 years old and have grown up way too fast and seen way too much for ones so young.

They are heading for a fall. A motley bunch of ‘been there, done thats’ rally around them, hoping they hold them long enough to avoid the system.

Including 25-year-old Alek, who is moving to St Kilda from Geelong to be closer to work but is shocked to learn that barely anyone looks like her and Phoenix, who is trying to rise from the ashes having just been unexpectedly refused parole. Rather than wallow, she is determined to be reunited with her children.

Then there’s the elder stateswomen.

Paulie is approaching 60 and has been out of the big house for over a decade yet is still struggling to feel at home, and 64-year-old Therese isn’t chasing rainbows, she just wants to be let back in. The simple things in life – a home, work and friends – elude her.

“You don’t often hear stories like this, they are often thrown to the side, you don’t get to hear them and experience the importance of them,” said performer Hayley, who with her fellow cast members and creatives devised the work.

"I was inferior. I was a thief. I was a junkie.

I was a whore. I was despised. I disappeared.

I offended and re-offended, and learnt the word recidivist. I am a woman.

“When I joined Somebody’s Daughter on the inside I had nothing to lose. Ultimately everything would be gained. I sat in a circle of women, who just like me had some incredibly sad tale.

“It was the same grim episode in this real life ‘Prisoner’. A story of pain, self-harm, addiction, sexual abuse and hopelessness. It was of homelessness and lost children.

“Had I have not gone to prison I would never have been introduced to the arts. For once in my life I had people feeling what I felt, and seeing what I saw. I was able to express my fears, my dreams, my grief and my remorse, yes I had remorse,” said performer, Cath.

Accompanying the theatre work, is a visual art exhibition showcasing extraordinary works from women currently in Victorian prisons and retrospective works dating back to 2000.

K-Box at Malthouse

■ Ra Chapman, Malthouse Theatre’s 201819 Writer in Residence and current Artist in Residence, makes her mainstage theatre debut with K-Box. It is a comical new play about a 30-something year old Korean adoptee who brings guts and hard truths to the suburban family dinner table.

Lucy hasn’t been home in a while. But she’s quit her job, dumped her boyfriend, and turned up on her adoptive parents’ loving doorstep needing somewhere to crash. But nothing seems quite as she left it.

George and Shirley don’t know what to do with their daughter. She is depressed, she’s a mess, and she’s stumbled across an old cardboard box that was once full of childhood memories but is now completely empty.

Lucy and her parents haven’t always seen eye to eye on everything, but when a K-Pop star mysteriously wanders into their lives and starts asking destabilising questions about her Korean roots, new fault lines are exposed in the family unit that become impossible to hide.

Under the direction of Director in Residence Bridget Balodis (Stay Woke, Because The Night and The Lockdown Monologues), K-Box will star Maude Davey (Melancholia, The Lockdown Monologues), along with Syd Brisbane (Because The Night) and newcomers Susanna Qian and Jeffrey Liu.

Shake Rattle n Roll

■ Dion and Randall International announces the return of their rock ‘n’ roll spectacular, touring Australia from July-October.

First debuting in 1993 with humble beginnings at an old Melbourne icon, now Shake Rattle ‘n’ Roll is celebrating 30 years since they first immortalised the 50s and 60s.

The line up of 15 singers and dancers features live entertainers and world champion dancers, including many from Dancing With The Stars.

Featuring hit songs that rocked a generation and are forever loved by rockabilly devotees Australia wide, Shake Rattle ‘n’ Roll playfully recreates Wolfman Jack’s famous radio broadcast with an all-singing, all-dancing, all-out stage extravaganza.

Audiences will be treated to tunes from: Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Johnny O’Keefe, Bobby Darin, Chuck Berry, Doris Day, Ritchie Valens, Jerry Lee Lewis and so many more.

Producer and Director, Adam Dion, along with fellow Producer and Helpmann Award nominated Costume Designer, Nina Randall, have created a spectacle that brings the one-ofa-kind high energy fun of the 50s and 60s roaring into the 21st century with state of the art sound, staging and effects.

“Our fully choreographed stage production revels and delights in the era of poodle skirts, bobby socks, high collars and jive dancing to tunes that get you up and dancing in the aisles,” says Adam.

Aric Yegudkin (Dancing With The Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, Sonia Kruger’s dance fitness platform ’Strictly You’) brings the spectacular to life as Choreographer and Principal Dancer.

“You get a taste of the best of the era in Shake Rattle ‘n’ Roll, not just Elvis, or Johnny O’Keefe.

It’s a euphoric jukebox of the best hits that ensures every audience member is smiling as they leave the show,” says Aric.

The show is led by five singers and entertainers, with Anthony Petrucci (Star Struck, Legends in Concert) who has been with Shake Rattle ‘n’ Roll since its rebirth in 2013, and performs as the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. The Everly Brothers will make an appearance from entertainer greats Rick Charles (A Musical Experience with a King and Queen, Memories of

Selby and Friends

■ How fortunate is Kathryn Selby in her choice of friends. In the Primrose Potter Salon of the Melbourne Recital Centre she was joined

by Julian Smiles on cello and Dimity Hall on violin.

The first piece was Miriam Hyde’s Fantasy Trio in B Minor, Op. 26 (1933). Hyde was a brilliant and prolific Australian pianist and composer who studied in Adelaide and London and left a huge output of work.

The Fantasy commenced dramatically. It became sweet and mellow and throughout the short, romantic work, alternated between passionate urgency and melodiousness.

The piano had a lovely solo moment before the cello and violin resumed. The beautiful piece concluded as dramatically as it had begun.

Next was Ludwig van Beethoven’s Cello Sonata, No. 5, Op. 102, No. 2 (1815). Beethoven wrote this work for cello and piano when very deaf and depressed, and the slow movement is known for its ‘amazing stillness’. ● Continued on next page

■ Following a sell-out season at the 2021 Darwin Festival Ilbijerri Theatre Company’s restaging of Heart is a Wasteland, directed by the company’s multi-awardwinning Artistic Director Rachael Maza (Yidinji/Meriam) brings John Harvey’s (Saibai Island) humorous and deeply heartfelt script to life at Arts Centre Melbourne's Fairfax Studio from August 25-27.

The theatre piece coincides with activities celebrating 30 years of Ilbijerri giving voice to First Nations cultures through the ongoing creation of innovative works by First Nations artists.

Heart is a Wasteland has been reinterpreted by Maza for this upcoming season but still combines storytelling and live music in a cross-country love story that takes us through Australia’s heartland, dealing with love, loss, unspoken truths and history.

“I’m incredibly excited to be working on Heart is a Wasteland because it’s one of those stories we never get to see on our stages. I have the privilege to sit in a room with our writer and creative team to come at it with fresh insight and get the work to where it needs to be,” said Maza.

“I love working with John Harvey too; his rich intelligence for telling a human story really comes lifting out of the script.”

Raye (Monica Jasmine Karo, Gunai/ Gunditjmara), a country-music star in the making, plays pub-to-pub along Australia’s vast desert highways trying to make a living in the hope of returning home to her son, Elvis.

But when she meets Dan (Ari Maza Long, Yidinji/Meriam), another young wanderer at the cross-roads of life, a love affair unfurls over a four-day drive to Alice Springs.

“I wanted to bring this human experience across that we all kind of share but in this uniquely indigenous voice. I wanted it to also explore our relationships with each other and our relationships to country but how our relationships to country affect our relationships with each other,” said Harvey.

With original music by Lydia Fairhall (Worimi), arranged by Gary Watling (Wiradjuri), freshly conceived sets and adventurous audio-visual design, this production brings Australia’s outback right to the front matched by the vitality of its young leads.

Birthday Book

Observations My Giddy Aunt

● Gladys Shaw ■ Whenever he was astounded by something, I recall my grandfather exclaiming “well, my giddy aunt!”

And that’s the title of a new book about the female comedians of an earlier era in Australia, even though most younger Australians are probably unaware they existed.

Many have heard of the great male comics like ‘Mo’ (Roy Rene) and the Dad and Dave films, but were there really female comedians back in the first half of the 20th century? The answer is a resounding yes!

Filmmaker and author Sharon Connolly has found a plethora of funny women and tells their stories in My Giddy Aunt.

And Connolly had her own giddy aunt – as she was discovering old family photos, she started searching for the great aunty she never knew – Gladys Shaw.

Gladys Shaw was a whistling comedian, a singer and saxophonist, an eccentric dancer and a whip-cracker — one of the ‘girls’ who made Australia laugh.

These girls were onstage musical comics, actors and male impersonators braving a new age, of cinema and radio.

They parodied men, servant girls and maiden aunts, but they were modern women — independent, determined and sometimes wild. And they helped change ideas about how women should behave.

In delving through archives, Sharon Connolly discovered a sisterhood of jesters who charmed and surprised the backblocks, towns and big cities of Australia and New Zealand last century.

My Giddy Aunt tells stories of ‘funny girls’ and witty women – joking, singing and whistling in a man’s world – the sisters who refused to be bound to the stove and the kitchen, and who were out to prove that a woman’s place could be on the stage.

The current generation of fine female comedians have so much to thank those brave women of last century, and we can all be grateful to Sharon Connolly who decided to discover who her giddy aunt was, and the world she lived in.

My Giddy Aunt and her sister comedians is published by Upwell and available now.

Freaky Friday at Prahran Ghost Stories

■ Realscape Productions has announced the Australian cast for Ghost Stories, ahead of the twotime OlivierAward nominee’s opening at the Athenaeum Theatre on September 6.

Ghost Stories will be led by playwright and actor Steve Rodgers (Savage River, Kenny) in the role of Professor Phillip Goodman.

Joining him is screen and stage entertainer Jay Laga’aia (Star Wars, Play School, Once), actor-magician Darcy Brown (Peddling, Animal Farm) and Green Room Awardwinning Nick Simpson-Deeks (Winners and Losers, The Circuit, Falsettos).

Speaking about the casting, producer Amy Johnson says: “Ghost Stories is thrilling and spine-tingling, and to immerse audiences in an emotional rollercoaster live on stage, you need an exceptionally talented cast. Steve, Jay, Darcy and Nick each bring an exciting depth to their roles that we cannot wait to see live on stage.”

Richard Carroll (Godspell, Once, Calamity Jane) will also join the Ghost Stories team as Associate Director for the Australian production.

Ghost Stories co-writer and director, Andy Nyman, said, “We couldn’t be more thrilled with the Australian cast and creative team for ‘Ghost Stories’. We can’t wait to see the dark fruits that they harvest.”

A fully sensory and electrifying encounter, Ghost Stories is promoted as "the ultimate twisted loveletter to horror, a supernatural edgeof-your-seat theatrical experience like no other. Enter a nightmarish world, full of thrilling twists and turns, live on stage."

Little can be revealed about the production’s plot in order to keep the audience on edge, but the show's organisers promise ticket holders they will be both roaring with laughter and jumping out of their seats.

Melbourne Performance Season: September 16 - October 22 Venue: Athenaeum Theatre, 188 Collins St., Melbourne Tickets now on sale from $44.95 + booking fee.

Solitary Man

■ Hugh Sheridan will perform the songs of Neil Diamond, with the Solitary Man show at Hamer Hall on Friday, October 28.

Pre-sale tickets went on the market this week.

■ New Melbourne musical theatre company Theatrical presents the Victorian premiere of Freaky Friday, based on the 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers and the Disney films, including the 2003 film starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis.

The Chapel Off Chapel production features music and lyrics by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, the Pulitzer Prizewinning composers of If/THEN and Next to Normal.

Freaky Friday is a modern spin on the 70s novel, where a mother and daughter swap bodies and experience each other’s lives firsthand, for a day.

Director Bronte Regos Thiele is staging the production in the present day, splitting the stage between an ordered household, a homely suburban Chicago and the chaos of adolescent relationships at school.

“We explore the microcosm of high school and the social dynamics that go with it, such as friendships, enemies, and crushes,” says Bronte.

“For me, the true heart of the story is in mum and daughter learning to open up to each other, and develop an understanding for the other’s perspective that is often rare for a teen and her mother.”

Freaky Friday is a fun comedy about swapping lives, but also explores themes of loss, grief and family dynamics, with the death of the father explored through the split perspective of the lead characters Ellie and Katherine.

Musical Director is Peter Pham Nguyen, and Choreographer is Broadway dancer and choreographer Bridie Clark (Jazz on the Westside, Colors of Columbia), who will include some TikTok inspired dance numbers, colourful sets and costumes, catchy tunes and an energetic cast.

Theatrical is a not for profit and registered charity from Executive Producer Andrew Gyopar (If/THEN, Little Women), an independent musical theatre company with a mission to provide opportunities for disadvantaged and underrepresented groups who might not otherwise have access to participate in musical theatre.

MSO

■ The variety and balance in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s program – its mid-season gala - meant there was innovation, challenges and delight.

The evening began with a personalised ‘welcome to country’ with a musical underlay and references to music on the continent in our ancestral past.

Anne Boyd’s composition, At the

Rourke’s Reviews Nope

■ (M). 130 minutes. Now showing in cinemas.

While not quite on the same level as Get Out or Us, Jordon Peele’s latest is intriguing viewing, and one that will get better with multiple viewings.

Peele uses a variety of thematic devices (including the film-making process itself) to explore topics such as identity, self-worth, and living within a rigid, belittling social framework that works by a narrow set of beliefs and rules.

Peele takes Spielberg’s beloved Close Encounters Of The Third Kind and puts a potent cultural twist on it.

RATING - ***½ ● British Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason Rising of the Sun, was a new work, with the composer there to introduce her piece. The brass section’s vibrant opening to the work typified the Australian sun’s dawning presence and there were suggestions of the elements of faith, both Christian and oriental, that she alluded to.

The contemporary nature of Shostakovich’s, Cello Concerto No. 2, enabled guest artist Sheku KannehMason to demonstrate his virtuosic skill on the cello.

The marshall overtones of the work, composed as it was under Stalin’s dictatorship, juxtaposed, amongst other things, the cello and percussion and the work was interspersed with traditional lyric lines giving way to more regimented stridency conveying the conflict in Soviet society as it industrialised.

Kanneh-Mason was equal to the demands of the work – a feat of astonishing musicianship given the complexity of the work. Curiously, his encore with four other cellos was more sedate and graceful.

Dvorak's, Symphony No. 9 From The New World, was a celebration of sound and form to conclude the evening.

The familiarity with the piece showed the MSO’s ability to work with unanimity under the baton of the Chief Conductor, Jaime Martin, whose deft touch with the baton and complementary gestures were an intimation of his total involvement in the music.

The orchestra reciprocated in kind, each section in touch with the other.

The collective resonance in the Hamer Hall could be attributed to each player’s joy and musicianship, but also to an audience that filled the space with appreciation.

Sheku Kanneh-Mason and The Kanneh-Mason Family will perform at Arts Centre Melbourne, Hamer Hall on Saturday, August 20 at 2.00pm.

Good Luck To You, Leo Grande

■ (M). 97 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas August 18.

While obviously based on a play (by Katy Brand), this is a wellcrafted comedy/drama, and both Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack are excellent.

Explores its topics carefully, and director Sophie Hyde cleverly frames the characters gradually entering each other’s worlds.

RATING - ***½

Broker

■ (M). 129 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas August 18.

Though not on the same level as his best work, Hirokazu Koreeda’s new drama makes for solid viewing.

An investigative subplot involving a murder feels conventional, and somewhat undermines the convincingly natural atmosphere the director usually creates.

Performances are very good, including Song Kang-ho, Bae Doona and veteran K-Pop superstar IU. RATING - ***½

The Outfit

■ (M). 105 minutes. Opens at Cinema Nova August 18.

Superbly structured and directed, this gangster drama deliberately uses cinematic mobster tropes to tell a compelling story.

Prefers to be quietly intelligent instead of showy, and most of the nicely nuanced performances are strong.

RATING - ****

Crimes of The Future

■ (R). 106 minutes. Opens at Cinema Nova August 25.

● Aaron Rourke After a nearly 10-year hiatus, David Cronenberg returns with a film that both fuses themes that pertain to how society is continually changing, and concepts that the director has explored in previous outings.

Cronenberg deliberately looks back at his body of work, and how the melding of flesh and technology has evolved over the decades, and comes up with a darkly playful rumination that, in many ways, reminded me of Clint Eastwood’s equally retrospective drama, Gran Torino.

RATING - ****

Prey

■ (MA). 100 minutes. Now streaming on Disney+.

A fascinating setting is frustratingly not explored to its full potential in this entertaining prequel, but is easily the best of the post-Predator 2 follow-ups.

Harks back to the 1987 original’s pacing, basically starting as one kind of film, before turning into another when the deadly alien arrives.

The director makes good use of the different location, but the story does eventually settle into formula.

RATING - ***

Bullet Train

■ (MA). 126 minutes. Now showing in cinemas.

Bloated, hollow action/comedy, starring Brad Pitt, suffers from a poor script, excessive running time, and characters that never go beyond their video game type set-up.

Based on a best-selling Japanese novel, but has been considerably changed in both tone and content.

Magazine ■ Rich Little was nicknamed "the man of a thousand voices" by Mel Blanc.

That was a great compliment from Mel who voiced many cartoon characters including Bugs Bunny. Rich has been working as a comedy impressionist for more than sixty years and is still performing in Las Vegas.

Richard Caruthers "Rich" Little was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 1938. His father was a doctor and his mother was a housewife.

Nobody in the family was in show business but Rich loved the films and started doing impressions of the Hollywood stars at an early age.

He formed a partnership with a friend and they impersonated politicians at the local nightclubs.

Rich got a job at a radio station and used his vocal impressions during his show. Mel Torme was very impressed with Rich after he saw him on a program on Canadian television and Mel organized a guest spot for Rich on The Judy Garland Show. Judy was not happy about having a comedy impressionist on her television show but changed her mind when she heard Rich do James Mason.

Rich made appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and the Jackie Gleason Show. His most popular television show was The KopyKats which was a part of the ABC Comedy Hour.

He was the resident comic on The Julie Andrews Show and had his own television series in 1976.

‘Nobody in the family was in show business but Rich loved the films and started doing impressions of the Hollywood stars at an early age.’

Whatever Happened To ...

Rich Little

By Kevin Trask of 3AW and 96.5 Inner FM During his appearance on The Muppet Show Rich impersonated most of the characters including Miss Piggy.

Rich Little was a regular on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roast television series for many years and worked with people such as Jack Benny, George Burns, James Stewart, Johnny Carson and Frank Sinatra. Rich Little was last in Melbourne in 1984 for the Logie presentation.

Rich has published a book titled; Little by Little: The People I Have Met and Been.

● Rich Little

It is available via Amazon on the internet. In the book Rich Little recalls things that have happened, mistakes that were made, goofs like Ed Sullivan introducing him as Little Richard on the show and Ronald Reagan doing impressions of him.

At Newport

■ Sophisticated Boom Boom produced by Terre Thaemlitz shortly after September 11, 2001, attacks on the UAb Al-Quaeda.

The piece centres around a strategically folksy quote by then President

G. W. Bush. “I remember an old poster out west, Wanted Dead or Alive”. It includes various types of media images used at the time.

Thaemlitz was a young child during the Vietnam War and was deeply affected by watching gruesome ground-zero journalist footage on the nightly TV news – footage which proved vital to fuelling anti-war sentiments and protests among the US public.

As a result, the US Government and military industrial contractors took note of a free press, giving rise to today’s corporate journalism.

By 1990s press images of US military attacks were restricted to the iconic grainy video footage from fighter planes d dropping bombs on anonymous architecture, :shock and awe” footage that resembled fireworks in the distance, and humanitarian portraiture/ the propaganda leading up to the illegal invasion of Iraq is summarised by the sleazy sales pitch.

Temple of Boom

■ An evocative reimagining of The Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens, Adam Newman and Kelvin Tsang’s Temple of Boom is the NGVArchitecture Commission for 2022, an annual series that invites Australian architects to create a work of site-specific, ephemeral architecture for the NGV Garden.

A global architectural icon, The Parthenon, an Ancient Greek temple, is an apex symbol of Western civilisation, democracy and perfection.

Temple of Boom celebrates these interpretations, while simultaneously expanding our understanding of the iconic Parthenon building and the enduring beauty it emanates.

The NGV Architecture Commission 2022: Temple of Boom will be on display from November 16.

OK. With John O’Keefe All About Hot Air

● Richard Branson.

■ A six-part series is in production about the much-hyped Richard Branson.

The script is based on the top selling book, 'Dirty Tricks' and chronicles how bully boys British Airways, in 1984, attempted to sabotage the launch of Branson's Virgin Airlines.

The series, most likely for TV, is to be known as 'Hot Air ', with Andrew Garfield playing Branson.

Sounds like a goer, I'll be watching.

Only a rumour

■ Looks like it must be true that the rejuvenated Brittany Spear swill team with Elton John to record one of Elton's iconic numbers, Tiny Dancer.

Truth behind TV show

■ 'American Pickers' is one of my fave shows seen on digital 74. Cocomperes Mike and Frank are poles apart in personalities as they criss cross America searching to buy and resell antique bargains.

Off screen their different personalities have seen the hosts split, neither speaks to other, and Frank is in hospital with a back injury. Looks like Series 21 will be their last. Great shame.

Toadie job opportunities

■ After 27 years as one of the main characters on Neighbours, Ryan Maloney, is unhappy the soapie has ended, he does have options up his sleeve, far afield from the small screen.

Toadie is a qualified commercial pilot, so there's option No.1. Another op is to return to the building industry, so little chance of seeing Toadie the Tradie in the line-up outside Centrelink.

World’s musical stars mourned

■ Hi everyone, remotely from my suite at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites in West Hollywood comes this week’s news.

Out and About

Vale Olivia and Judith

Know Your Body

■ Shock news about two of our beloved music stars dying within a day of each other. Both received worldwide coverage of their passing.

Judith Durham AO was the first shock. You think that these stars will shine forever and it becomes a huge news story when they do pass away.

Judith spent her lifetime as a member of The Seekers and also had a very successful solo career. The Seekers were the first to gain success worldwide with hits like ‘Georgie Girl’ and ‘The Carnival is Over’.

Their reunion tours of Australia and England were always sold out and their popularity increased with every tour. ★ Dame Olivia Newton-John AC DBE had an even bigger impact on the world stage. Four-time Grammy Award winner and with over 100 million records sold and with movies Xanadu and Grease, Olivia was truly our best, biggest and brightest star.

On You Tube I saw Judith Durham’s ‘This Is Your Life’ and during the show Olivia sent a message to her. It’s unbelievable that these two amazing entertainers died within a day of each other. They both leave a huge legacy of music, memories and movies.

■ When we exercise, far-flung parts of our bodies apparently communicate with one another, thanks to tiny, particlefilled balloons that move purposefully through the bloodstream from one cell to another, carrying pressing biochemical messages, according to an important new study of the biology of exercise.

The study helps to clarify some of the body-wide health effects of working out and also underscores just how physiologically complex exercise is.

For some time, scientists have suspected that the body’s internal organs are as gossipy and socially entangled as any 8th-grade classroom.

It is thought that, under the right conditions, fat cells chat with muscle cells, and muscle cells whisper to brain cells and everybody seems to want to be buddies with the liver.

Tough politics in the US

Army recruiting slow

■ The local Army recruiting station was empty. The normally reliable recruiting grounds at the nearby Walmart were a bust.

With the Army still thousands of soldiers short of its recruiting goal, the station commander, Sgt First Class James Pulliam, dressed head to toe in camouflage, scanned a stripmall parking lot for targets.

He spotted a young woman getting out of a car, and put on his best salesman smile. “Hey, how’d you know I was going to be here today!” the sergeant said with an affable Carolina drawl, as if greeting an old friend. “I’m going to help put you in the Army!”

These are tough times for military recruiting. Almost across the board, the armed forces are experiencing large shortfalls in enlistments this year, a deficit of thousands of entry-level troops that is on pace to be worse than any since just after the Vietnam War. It threatens to throw a wrench into the military’s machinery, leaving critical jobs unfilled and some platoons with too few people to function.

● Pictured at one of the G’Day USA functions in Los Angeles is Olivia with Alan Johnson, Managing Director, Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites West Hollywood.

Nicotine banned

■ Vapes are banned now, soon almost all nicotine too: Smoking fentanyl on the streets is fine, and you’ll even get a nice clean pipe by gentle city workers, but if you try to inhale a puff of that Juul e-cigarette you can soon expect the mighty hand of the federal government to swat it out of your mouth.

Biden’s FDA has blocked the popular electronic cigarette company Juul from selling products in the US. The FDA also this week is rolling out a planned new rule: nicotine must be almost entirely removed from cigarettes.

Profits per second

■ The world’s biggest companies generate an incredible amount of money each year, with tech giants such as Apple posting annual profits of as much as $55 billion.

That’s more money than most of us will ever see in our lifetimes, so it can be difficult to get your head around the numbers and really visualize just how much the world’s biggest corporations are making.

Where it really hits home is when you see just how much money the world’s richest companies are making, not every year, but every day, hour and even second.

Apple is one of the world’s most profitable businesses, generating over $151 billion a day, which equates to $1752 every single second.

To put that into context, the average weekly wage in the US is $1237, meaning that the average American doesn’t even earn the same amount that Apple earns in a second after a full week at work.

Fellow tech giants Microsoft and Alphabet (the parent company of Google) also draw in more than a thousand dollars each second, which works out at around $100 million a day.

At the other end of the scale, Uber Technologies (who trust Tipalti with their account payable software) made a huge loss of $8.5 billion, equating to $270 every second.

Despite being the world’s largest ride-hailing app, Uber has famously never turned a profit. ● If you are considering coming over for a holiday in 2022, then I have got a special deal for you.

■ DeSantis overtakes Trump in New Hampshire straw poll: There will come a day when Democrats realise that Trump, despite being an agent of chaos, was somewhat of a moderate Republican (think: Trump being booed by a conservative crowd for promoting the COVID booster).

Rising now is the polished, focused, more old-school family values style of Republican candidate, one who also has huge credibility with the new right: Ron DeSantis.

In a new straw poll of likely New Hampshire voters, DeSantis fared better against Biden than Trump did.

If Dems had any visions of swapping out Biden for Harris, that same poll found that New Hampshire voters expressed extremely unfavourable feelings toward Kamala Harris (with only 23 per cent having a favourable opinion). Meanwhile the DNC has slashed prices for a photo with the Veep from $15,000 to $5000. Our money is on DeSantis v. Biden.

World population to hit 8 billion

■ The world’s population is expected to reach eight billion on November 15, the UN forecast in a report that said India will surpass China as the most populous country on earth in 2023.

That overall population milestone “is a reminder of our shared responsibility to care for our planet and a moment to reflect on where we still fall short of our commitments to one another,” Secretary General Antonio Guterres said, without citing specifics.

“This is an occasion to celebrate our diversity, recognize our common humanity, and marvel at advancements in health that have extended lifespans and dramatically reduced maternal and child mortality rates,” he added.

■ Laura Wasser is 54 and is one of the highest-profile divorce lawyers in the country.

She has represented some of the biggest celebrities of the past generation: Britney Spears during her split with Kevin Federline, Angelina Jolie during her divorce from Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp during his divorce from Amber Heard, and Kim Kardashian during her divorce from Kanye West, among them.

The gossip web site TMZ has dubbed her “the disso queen” for her facility in dissolving the unions of the rich and famous, and she is often featured on that site and on others like it, in conjunction with the relationship travails of her clients.

More book stores open

■ More than 300 independent bookstores opened in the US over the past couple of years, a “welcome revival after an early pandemic slump,” Alexandra Alter and Elizabeth Harris write.

And people of colour started many of them, diversifying the book business.

“People are really looking for a community where they get real recommendations from real people,” said Nyshell Lawrence, a bookseller in Lansing, Mich., who decided to open a bookshop after she visited a local store and found few titles by Black women.

“We’re not just basing things off of algorithms.”

Julia, Julie in Parliament

■ Produced and performed inhouse by Gasworks Arts Park, Gone Girls is a dragged-up, camped-up take on treatment of women in the Australian Parliament, written and performed by Patrick Livesey who plays Julia Gillard and Annabelle Larcombe (Julie Bishop) with co-direction by Wil King.

Elected to Parliament on the same day after the 1998 Federal election, politically opposed Julia and Julie are both on fire with ambition.

This is a cheeky, behind the scenes look at these strong-willed women in conversations in the bar, in the women’s toilet and anytime the meet up, exposing their shared experience of misogyny dealt out by the Boy’s Club.

The play teases out strings of incidences of gender deafness with references to a succession of other female politicians such as Joan Child and Penny Wong. Along the way, Julia and Julie form a humorous, unexpected bipartisan personal alliance.

Patrick’s looks, dress and gestures are spookily recognisable as Julia Gillard while an edge of rivalry is always present in Annabelle’s depiction of Julie as sharp, quick-witted match in the relationship. We’re caught up in the momentum of this ping pong game as Julia’s gibes meet her opponents’.

the show enables the writers to entertainingly explore moments of intimacy and the bonds formed through working together in this unreal environment of the halls of Parliament.

Many sides of these complex characters are called into question through this comic portrayal of the experience of political careers and personal lives and culminating in a slightly insane robotic stoush in the bowels of Parliament House.

Six-event card at Yarra Valley

■ Yarra Valley held a small six event card on Monday, August 1, and by far the most impressive winner on the day was Melton trainer Joe Pace’s Kiwi bred 3Y0 Franco Ledger-Justasip gelding Justalittlesip in the De Bortoli Pace over 2150 metres.

Driven by James Herbertson, Justalittlesip was quickly eased away from inside the second line to settle at the tail of the field as Just As Well led from gate four.

Commencing a forward move three wide racing for the bell to park outside the leader for the final circuit, Justalittlesip when given a little extra rein on the final bend raced clear shortly after with Rock Phone which had trailed the pacemaker angled away from the inside to give chase, but was no match for the winner which scored by 4.7 metres. Just As Well held down third 1.9 metres back. The mile rate 1-59.9.

■ Ex NSW reinswoman Ellen Rixon now attached to the Jess and Greg Sugars Myrniong stable was successful aboard 4Y0 Blissful HallViva Safari gelding Kurun Express in the 2150 metre United Petroleum Pace.

Starting from gate five, Kurun Express trailed See You There inside him forward three wide as the gate pulled away before moving around him to park outside the pacemaker Machavelli (gate two) which had crossed stablemate Covevve Hustler which led out from the pole.

Surging to the front approaching the final bend, Kurun Express scored by a half neck from the fast finishing Spencer (one/three) which was held up at a vital stage before finishing fast when switched to the sprint lane. See You There was third 2.3 metres back after following the winner.

The mile rate 1-58.3.

■ In-form reinsman Brad Chisholm was victorious aboard Cobblebank part-owner/trainer Alex Freeman’s 6Y0 Western Terror-Hanover Whiz mare Jay Bee who chalked up her 6th success by taking the Yarra Valley Toyota Pace over 2150 metres in 1-59.8.

Flying out to cross Island Rocknroll (gate two), Jay Bee rated well just lasted by a half head over Island Rocknroll along the sprint lane, with Madame West third 1.9 metres away third after following the pair.

10 races at M’boro.

■ Maryborough was Wednesday’s venue with a strong 10-race program.

■ Gordon part-owner/trainer Larry Lynch would have been thrilled to snare the quinella in the Newsxpress Maryborough Vicbred Pace over 1690 metres when 8Y0 Village Jasper-Private Affair mare Village Voice bloused stablemate Breathe Easy in a mile rate of 156.7.

Driven by Jackie Barker, Village Voice after starting from the extreme draw enjoyed a cosy trip three back in the moving line as Ace Duigan (gate four) was driven with aggression to cross Onwatch (gate three).

With Breathe Easy first to make a move prior to the home turn three wide as Onwatch came away from the inside to take over with Village Voice poised to pounce, Breathe Easy was being hailed the winner when Village Voice after being eased three wide sprouted wings to nab him in the shadows of the pose and score by 1.4 metres. Onwatch was a nose away third in an exciting finish.

■ Heathcote owner/trainer Terry French was successful with honest 7Y0 Well Said-Without Guile gelding Joeys Hangover in the 1690 metre Bent Stems Florist Maryborough Pace.

Driven with aggression by daughter Tayla, Joeys Hangover vacated a mid-field passage from gate six to go forward with a lightning burst of speed to cross the pacemaker Metro Man (gate five) at the bell.

Showing no signs of stopping, Joeys Hangover recorded his 18th victory in 149 outings, defeating Friends (one/one) by 9.3 metres in 156.7. Open The Valve (three markers last lap) from the pole was third 8.8 metres away.

■ Ararat’s Michael Bellman snared a double on the day with 7Y0 Majestic Son-Fleetwood Blue mare Majestic Pride doing everything right on this occasion to blitz her rivals in the Skyvalley Sprint Lane Trotters Mobile (3rd Heat) over 2190 metres and 4Y0 Devilish SmileWell Rounded mare Sweetsazzymylazzy tak-

Harness Racing

len-baker@ bigpond.com

with Len Baker ing the Benstud Back Straight Pace over 1690 metres. Majestic Pride after lobbing one/one from the extreme draw was off and running midrace to assume control and register a 21.5 metre margin in advance of Yankee Twister (four markers) and Rioterra (one/one). The mile rate 203.4. Sweetsazzymylazzy ran home stylishly from four back in the moving line to record a 2.7 metre victory over Major Banks which trailed the leader Ideal Investment, with Madam Auckland (four pegs) third a neck away. The mile rate 1-59.3.

Melton resumes

■ Tabcorp Park Melton resumed racing after a five week lay-off on Wednesday and Charlton’s Ryan Sanderson enjoyed a happy evening after driving a double – Mister Nien for John Justice in the TAB Play Central Pace over 1720 metres and Dangerous for father Shane in the Dann Event Hire 2Y0 Pace over the same trip.

Mister Nien a 4Y0 SomebeachsomewhereLady Of My Life gelding led throughout from gate six to record a 1.4 metre margin from Border Cross along the sprint lane and Blazin Heaven (three markers) in 1-57.4, while Dangerous, a colt by Sweet Lou from Ark Monroe raced by the Birchip boys and friends raced exposed for most of the way to defeat the leader Joyful by 3.2 metres and in doing so made it two from two, with Itzmineontheline (one/two) third 6.1 metres away. The mile rate 1-55.7.

■ Parwan owner/trainer Jaime Madruga presently holidaying in his home country Portugal repaid some expenses for the trip after 4Y0 A Rocknroll Dance-Onedins Courage mare No Win No Worries returned to the winners list in the Alabar Pace over 2240 metres. Taken to the course by stable assistant Paul Parsons, No Win No Worries driven by Ellen Rixon flew away from gate four before being eased to take a trail on Sweet Creation. Enjoying a cosy passage, No Win No Worries used the sprint lane to register a half head margin over the pacemaker in a tricky finish returning a mile rate of 1-58.2.

Gedelong victory

■ Geelong raced on Thursday and Cobblebank (Melton) trainer/driver Justin Campbell a former Tasmanian, scored a victory with 4Y0 Stonebridge Regal-Odins Cat Woman mare Really Regal in the Dervcon Properties Maiden Pace over 1609 metres.

Making her race debut, Really Regal starting solo on the second line pushed through as the start was effected to follow the pole line leader Ideal Jo receiving a lovely trip. Using the sprint lane, Really Regal bloused a death-seating Why Not Dream by a head in a rate of 1-59.3. Our Arabella (one/two) was third two metres back.

■ The Kiwi connection of Nathan Purdon (trainer) and Josh Dickie (driver) landed the 2100 metre Jims Mowing 3Y0 Pace with Betting LineMoremi Miss gelding Captain Barnato. Trapped wide from gate five Captain Barnato pressed forward to cross polemarker Barra Mac on debut and was untroubled to defy all rivals, accounting for Barra Mac by 6.4 metres in 1-58.8.

Speedy Spida (one/one – three wide home turn) was third 4.4 metres away.

■ Bolinda part-owner/trainer Alexandra Hurley’s 5Y0 Amore Stride-Nitengale Stride

mare Tiara Stride (Greg Sugars) has done it again – leading throughout from gate five to snare the Haras Des Trotteurs Trotters Mobile over 2100 metres.

With Greg Sugars in the sulky, Tiara Stride began swiftly to open up a huge margin on her rivals. Still a “mile” in front in the last lap, Tiara Stride never looked like stopping and coasted to the wire 1.5 metres clear of the hot favourite Evas Image which left her run too late. Shield Maiden was game when third 10.1 metres away after racing exposed. The mile rate 2-01.5. It was Tiara Stride’s third victory in 27 outings.

■ The Aldebaran’s (Huey) and Misty ran the quinella in the Yabby Dam Farms Trotters Mobile over 2100 metres with Aldebaran Huey the victor. Trained at Meredith by Emmett Brosnan and father Richard, Aldebaran Huey driven by Emmett led all of the way from gate five to record a soft 2.8 metre margin over Aldebaran Misty which trailed making no impression over the concluding stages. Our Safari Sun (one/two - three wide home turn) was third 2.6 metres away. The mile rate 2-00.8.

■ Maryborough, home of the trotter, commenced the week on Monday July 26 with a nine race card featuring four events for squaregaiters – the highlight being the $12,000 Aldebaran Park Maryborough Trotters Oaks over 2190 metres with the winner being Cardigan trainer Anton Golino’s Quaker Jet-Miss Manitoba filly Revelstoke.

Driven by Nathan Jack, Revelstoke was restrained from outside the front line to settle at the rear as Bitta Irish Luck began brilliantly for Chris Alford to lead easily.

The race was to change racing for the bell when the pacemaker went off stride allowing Stingofawasp on her back to take over with La Perriere (a stablemate of the winner) in the open and polemarker Aldebaran Demi on the back of the leader with Revelstoke circling the field to lead at the bell.

Holding a margin on turning, Revelstoke scored by 5.9 metres in a rate of 2-02.1 (last half 58.5 – 28.8) from Aldebaran Demi which ran home late after being extricated three wide on turning, with La Perriere third 2.6 metres away..

■ Burrumbeet part-owner/trainer/driver David Barbetti provided the upset of the afternoon when Red Samurai-El Gelato 4Y0 gelding El Resamo scored in the 2190 metre Haras Des Trotteurs Trotters Mobile at odds of $34.

Unplaced in three runs prior after galloping on each occasion, El Resamo trotting to perfection went forward from outside the front line to join the poleline leader Sonnyboy and immediately applied plenty of pressure not relenting until the bell lap arrived when he crossed to assume control.

When expected to give ground after the tough passage, El Resamo defied all challengers to record a strong 1.4 metre margin in advance of Di Li from three back in the moving line. Mielicki ran on late from the tail for third a half head away. The mile rate 2-02.4.

Speedy start

■ Bendigo raced on Tuesday and in still on the trotting gait, Inglewood part-owner/trainer Grant Innes and family landed the Solar1 Electrical Bendigo Trotters Mobile over 1650 metres with Vincent Kai, a 6Y0 gelded son of Bacardi Lindy and Subitize.

Bred by Grant and wife Franceen, Vincent Kye with Ellen Tormey in the sulky began speedily from gate five to lead and rated a treat, defied all challengers to register a half neck margin over Buslin Brody which got very close after trailing and using the sprint lane.

Reigning Lillies after following the pair also used the sprint lane for third a head back in a thrilling finish. The mile rate 2-01.6. It was Vincent Kai’s sixth victory in 62 outings which include 19 placings.

■ Armstrong trainer Danny O’Brien was successful with Sunshine Beach-Satimer Sunset gelding Blake Bolac in the Great Ocean Road Real Estate 2Y0 Maiden Pace over 1650 metres.

Coming off a nice second on debut at Hamilton

Sulky Snippets

two week earlier, Blake Bolac driven by Neil McCallum was given an easy time from inside the second line trailing the leader and runner-up Catalpa Rescue before using the sprint lane to register a 2.8 metre margin in 1-57.2.

Itzmineontheline (gate four) also used the sprint lane from four pegs after being checked at the start for third 1.6 metres back.

Trailed leader

■ At Echuca on Wednesday, Nagambie based trainer Danny Ferris was successful with 4Y0 Rock N Roll Heaven-Oversway gelding Heavensway in the Alabar Vicbred Platinum Maiden Pace over 2160 metres.

With Jordan Chipnall in the sulky, Heavensway (gate four) after trailing the leader Devil Of A Smile inside him, used the sprint lane to gain the day by 1.8 metres from a deathseating Waitingnoruns, with Meggs Is Me (three markers) third a half head third after using the sprint lane. The mile rate 2-02.8.

■ Junortoun’s Kent Harpley combined with Leigh Sutton to land the 1755 metre Rich River Auto Body 3Y0 Pace with Bulldog Khan, a gelded son of Restrepo and Rosie Khan in 158.2.

Settling four back in the moving line from the extreme draw, Bulldog Khan after going forward three wide uncovered in the last lap outgunned his rivals to score by 3.1 metres in 158.2 over Symphony Stride (one/one) and the disappointing leader Sunstar who was 2.4 metres away in third place.

Memorial Night

■ Kilmore Racing Club celebrated the second 2022 Memorial Night on Thursday July 28 remembering many local trainers and drivers who had enjoyed success on the track over the years.

■ The Allan Knight Memorial Pace over 1690 metres was a semi-local victory with Wallan trainer Ruth Shinn’s 7Y0 Rock N Roll HeavenAwesomely mare Righteously registering her 9th success in 134 outings (28 placings).

Driven as usual by son Chris, Righteously bred and raced by long time clients Justin and Stephanie O’Brien was eased at the start to settle four back in the moving line as polemarker Border Cross led.

Following Officially Shady forward three wide in the last lap, Righteously swooped on the leaders at the straight entrance before shifting right to the outside fence in the straight to score easily by 9 metres in advance of Ringer Russ from last, with Tipofthetongue 3.2 metres away third after trailing the pacemaker. The mile rate two minutes even.

■ The 2180 metre Barry Alford Memorial Pace was taken out by 10Y0 Stonebridge Regal-Lotasilkari gelding Lotakevi who has become somewhat of a Kilmore specialist, winning three of his last four starts on the track.

Trained at Croydon by part-owner John McGillivray and once again driven by Ross Payne, Lotakevi from the extreme draw followed the heavily backed odds-on favourite Fly By Eden (one/two) throughout as Bettathanapokeindeye led from gate two.

When Fly Bye Eden took a narrow lead on the home turn, Lotakevi was poised to pounce and did so, blousing the favourite by 1.6 metres at TAB odds of $61 after 100’s had been bet on fixed odds. Regality rushed home late from the rear for third a head away. The mile rate 2-03.3.

Deafening cheers

■ The cheers were deafening following the victory of Creatine-Annika gelding Ess Kay Hollywood in the 70’s & 80’s 10 December 2022 2Y0 Trotters Maiden Trotters Mobile over 1710 metres at Ballarat on Friday.

Scene set for Epsom Handicap ■ The scene is set for a great Epsom Handicap to be run on October 1 at Randwick over 1600 metres.

Nominations haven’t been called for as yet, but Neds the Bookmakers, have framed an early market.

The Epsom Handicap is renowned for attracting the ‘best-milers’ in the land and has shown it for many years.

This year is right up there with some of the best at this stage, headed by the outstanding young middle-distance horse Anamoe, prepared by the whiz, Chris Waller, in Sydney.

A winner of nearly five million dollars, Anamoe is one of the best racing here in Australia.

At his last outing he was all at sea on a heavy track, rated a 10, the highest you can get, any worse they call the meeting off.

Anamoe has opened a $3.25 favourite before nominations, just over two months away.

On the second line is another good galloper who puts in by the name of Converge.

Converge is by the great English stallion, Frankel, and is a winner of just over 1.5 million, and has won four of his 11 starts with six minor placings.

He is out of the good Irish mare, Conversely, in the care of one of the best, Gai Waterhouse, and her training partner, Adrian Bott, at Randwick.

Back on March 19, he ran a good second to Anamoe in the Rosehill Guineas.

One that is worthy keeping your eye on is Top Ranked, a six-year-old, who ran fifth behind Verry Elleegant in the Chipping Norton Stakes.

He handles the wet well, and has won six of his 14 starts, with four placings.

Top Ranked is in the same stable of top middle-distance class performer Zaaki, prepared by the young English woman, Annabel Neasham, who has called Australia home, and is a top trainer.

Then we have another of Chris Waller’s team in the highly promising Fan Girl, by the Golden Slipper winner, Sebring, a winner of five of her first 10 starts.

She appeared to be outclassed in the Queen of the Turf at her run on April 9, but is smart on her day.

The flying machine Espiona, a winner at Flemington by six lengths over 1200 metres, has stepped up in distance, and after a couple of ordinary runs, she won the Carr Stakes at Randwick on April 16 over 1400 metres.

Prepared by Chris Waller, I feel that the biggest worry about her, is stepping up another 200 metres in a class field, if she goes around.

Next to have a look at, is the good ‘miler’, Cascadian, prepared by James Cummings and his Godolphin team in the navy blue colours.

He has been all over the place, having run consistently between Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne.

In a good field of 1600 metre horses in the All- Star- Mile at Flemington back on March 19, he failed to get into it and missed the place.

He has also won the All Aged Stakes on 1400 metres at Randwick.

It wouldn’t surprise me if ran a great race here. Brad Widdup has another consistent type in Icebath, who does most of his racing in Sydney.

Back on April 16, he ran a good third in the JRA Plate, over 2000 metres behind Polly Grey and Numerian.

Another of Anna Neasham trained horses is the talented, Mo’unga, who ran in the All Aged Stakes in Sydney on April 16 over 1400 metres missing place after a second up run after a spell.

Last but not least, is the smart galloper, Mugatoo, who won the All Star Mile at Moonee Valley last year.

He hasn’t raced for some time due to a tendon injury he suffered in the Doomben Cup. He’s been entered a couple more times for features, but didn’t run meaning he wasn’t quite right. It is certainly bad luck for his connections and trainer, Kris Lees.

Good old times

● Mugatoo wins the All Star Mile..Racing Photos.

Queensland and Victoria. Another that contests most of the major races, is the Sydney fouryear-old, Count De Rupee, prepared by the Price team, he is a good type, but like a lot of reasonable horses they find out what it is all about when they go up in class.

He finished in sixth spot in the Doomben 10,000, back on May 14, which wasn’t a bad run.

He is consistent having won seven of 20, starts, up until then with eight placings.

The Joseph trained horse, Private Eye, is smart on his day, and has got back a bit of form, when a very good second in the Stradbroke Handicap behind Alligator Blood back on June 11.

Prior to that he had three unplaced runs, but on his day, he is good and after all he carried the top weight of 57 kilos in the Stradbroke.

Ted Ryan

■ I recently had the pleasure of catching up with my old mate, Ray Benson, the former race caller on 3UZ, in the days of him, Bert Bryant and John Russell ruling the racing airwaves.

We journeyed to a nice little place called Café Macchiato, in Macedon Square, a haunt of Ray’s.

Ray for the first time that I can remember, “hit his kick”, took out his gold money Ccip, where he extracted two $50 notes. (Joking.)

Ray and I met many moons ago, when I went to Lee Murray’s Voice Production School in Collins Place.

Ray then invited me, through his parents, Tom and Edie, and siblings Gary and Marlene, to their home in Kensington It was on a regular Wednesday night, and I was invited for dinner and later with my trusty AWA recorder, which helped me greatly, and with Ray’s and Lee’s teaching, shaped my career.

Looking for a Professional to run the show?

Now seven he has been a consistent performer for the All Blue Team, including winning seven in top class company and 11 placings.

Also, connections have banked nearly four million dollars, having run and won in Sydney,
