Domino effect on $16 billion North-East Link?

EAST: OUT OF CONTROL ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

IMAGE: CITY OF KNOX

■ The first Council to capitulate to the State Government’s North-East Link project has been Manningham.

And local government sources believe that other north-east and eastern municipalities will soon follow.

Manningham Council walked away from the Supreme Court fight against the State Government after being offered ‘sweeteners’.

These involve commitments for more open space, environmental safeguards and cash for local sports clubs.

Observers believe that three other Councils - Boroondara, Whitehorse and Banyule - will also withdraw from the expensive legal action, in return for concessions.

A three-day legal case, which could cost millions of ratepayer dollars, is due in court in September.

Work has already commenced on the North-East Link which will extend from Greensborough, and connect with the Eastern Freeway at Bulleen.

Manningham Council had earlier said it was concerned about community outcomes.

■ CORONAVIRUS cases continue to multiply throughout Melbourne’s East Premier Daniel Andrews and Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton announced a sharp jump in the number of cases.

On Monday (July 20), the number of active cases in each local government area was revealed: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

Banyule, 122, Yarra, 111, Casey, 78, Whitehorse, 48 Boroondara, 38, Manningham, 36, Stonnington, 35, Monash, 33, Cardinia, 17, Knox, 12 Maroonadh, 12, Yarra Ranges, 9 As at Monday (July 22), Victoria had recorded 275 new cases in 24 hours. The total number of cases was 5942.

Within Victoria, 28 of the enw cases were linked to outbreaks or complex cases.

To date, 39 people have died in Victoria.

One new death was reported on Monday, after a woman in her 80s succumbed to the virus.

● Premier Daniel Andrews announces results on Monday.

Mr Dalisay presented the certificates to his employers, was granted sick leave, and derived a financial benefit.

The Tribunal found that Mr Dalisay’s behaviour did not conform to professional standards demanded by the profession.

■ Manningham Council says it has consulted with the community about Harold Link in Bulleen.

Harold Link is a Manningham Council owned drainage and sewerage reserve located between Millicent and Alfreda Avenues in Bulleen.

“After consultation with local residents around the use of Harold Link, key improvement areas were identified in drainage, access, landscaping and safety,” said a Council spokesman.

“With the addition of identified site constraints, these have been factored into the final design and Council would like to thank the residents for their input on this important local project.

“Delivery of the Harold Link Development Plan has now commenced, with construction of an improved shared access path and new landscaping occurring in two phases.

The improved access path will: ■ better connect pedestrians and cyclists to Harold Reserve and the Koonung Trail network, ■ provide new landscaping with native trees, garden beds and grassed areas, and ■ drainage improvements including the modification and installation of new drainage pits.

Pulled out

■ “A Supreme Court bid to put the brakes on the $15.8 billion North East Link project has been dealt a blow after one council involved in the legal battle walked away,” reports the Herald Sun. “Manningham Council, which was one of four local governments objecting to the mega-toll road’s planning approval process, gave up the fight after cutting a deal with the Andrews Government for more open space, environmental safeguards, and sporting club support.”

3 short-listed for tender ■ Three tenderers have been shortlisted, following a competitive process, for the biggest tender for new waste management infrastructure in Victoria.

Monash Council and 15 other councils from Melbourne’s south-east are seeking an advanced waste processing alternative to landfill in a tender process led by Metropolitan Waste and Resource Recovery Group.

The competitive tendering process saw 30 expressions of interest lodged, with three tenderers shortlisted: ■ Veolia Environmental Services Australia Pty Ltd ■ Sacyr Environment Australia ■ Pacific Partnerships and REMONDIS (a consortium comprised of Pacific Partnerships and REMONDISAustralia, together with CIMIC Group Companies CPB Contractors and UGL).

Monash Mayor Stuart James said the tender was the biggest ever undertaken by councils for new waste man-

● Cr Stuart James, Monash Mayor agement. “The advanced waste processing system is an exciting project that will change how we manage rubbish collected across all 15 council areas. It is a truly transformative project,” Cr James said.

“The reality is that landfills in the south-east of Melbourne are filling up and there are no plans to build anymore.

Household rubbish across this

region is projected to increase by 40 per cent over the next 25 years so we need to look at a viable alternative for the longterm.”

This project will deliver an alternative to landfill and transform how household rubbish is managed by putting it to good use instead of burying it.

The best outcomes will be achieved by minimising our waste, reusing or recycling, and then what is left over can go to advanced waste processing, said a Council statement.

“Advanced waste processing technologies have been used successfully and safely overseas for years as an alternative to landfill.

Monash Council, along with the other 15 councils, made the final decision on the shortlist following a review by Council representatives, MWRRG and its technical, legal and financial advisors. benefits to the community.

No decisions have been made yet regarding the type or location of any facilities.

Local Briefs Hi-tech TAFE at Lilydale

■ Students and residents in Lilydale are a step closer to having a world-class construction training centre, with work on the project under way, thanks to the Victorian Government.

Gayle Tierney, Minister for Training and Skills, last week attended a virtual event to celebrate the sod turning that marks the start of construction on the $10.2 million Integrated Centre for Sustainable Construction Technologies at Box Hill Institute’s Lilydale Lakeside Campus.

May Constructions has been appointed to build the centre, a modern industrial facility fitted with the latest technology needed to deliver cutting-edge carpentry, electrical and plumbing apprenticeship training.

This includes an emphasis on sustainable construction practices and technologies, providing students with industry-current skills and a clear pathway to the jobs of the future in the construction industry.

The centre will provide the region with a range of training opportunities and address key skills and training gaps in Melbourne’s outer east.

The centre will include ultra-modern workshops, classrooms, material storage facilities, staff workplaces and general amenities. The centre is expected to open in early 2021.

Since 2015, the Victorian Government has committed more than $1.5 billion to rebuild our TAFE system and ensure students can get the skills they need for the jobs they want.

“This centre will help give Victorians – particularly those hit hard by the pandemic – the skills they need to secure high-quality jobs, said Ms Tierney.

“TAFE is a ticket to skills, jobs and a stronger Victoria – that’s why we’re investing heavily in the TAFE sector.”

James Merlino, Member for Monbulk, said: “We’re proud to be delivering our election commitment, investing more than $10 million in Lilydale, to give students a clear path to the sustainable construction jobs of the future.”

Harriet Shing, MLC for Eastern Victoria, said: “This new centre means that students from Lilydale and surrounding areas can access local training for the jobs that will be needed as part of our recovery from the pandemic, and as our population continues to grow.”

Leader letter lost ■ A motion for Monash City to write a letter to Leader Newspapers was lost at the latest Council meeting.

It had been proposed that “Council notes the recent decision by News Corp to close over 100 print papers in suburban and regional Australia”.

The proposed motion noted that the Monash Leader will no longer be printed; It was suggested that the Council “writes to Leader Newspapers to express disappointment at this decision, highlighting concerns about a lack of coverage of local issues and the disproportionate impact this decision will have on vulnerable people including older residents.”

3 Co-Presidents ■ The Rotary Club of Templestowe saw a changing of the guard earlier this month as they welcomed in Co-Presidents Brian Negus, Brian Tyedin and Felix Wong. The ‘Three Musketeers’ will be tasked with leading the club as they adjust to the new normal during the COVID-19 pandemic. The regular Rotary Club meetings have looked a bit different over the last couple of months with members coming together over Zoom instead of the usual meetings at the Manningham Club.

What The Papers Say ‘Halt elections’ call

■ Greater Dandenong mayor Jim Memeti has dismissed calls to postpone October’s council elections due to the COVID19 pandemic.

The Municipal Association of Victoria has called for the State Government to follow the lead of NSW, which postponed elections until September 2021.

The MAV argued the virus’s impact put ‘free and fair’ elections under “significant strain”. It limited candidates’ ability to campaign and consult with communities, it stated.

Cr Memeti, who is on a mayors’ advisory panel for the Local Government Minister, said there were still opportunities to campaign by letter-box drop and social media.

Youths charged

■ Two 17-year-old boys were arrested and charged after they allegedly attacked a man and tried to rob him at a Berwick petrol station complex.

Police were called to a BP service station on Clyde Rd at about 8pm on Wednesday (July 15), following reports of a fight in a nearby carpark.

Victoria Police didn’t shed much light on the actual incident but the Gazette understands the altercation occurred after the victim – who was intending to pick up a phone purchased through Facebook Marketplace – was allegedly attacked.

The town’s Light Up Lockdown campaign has seen households and shops bring their facade to life with fairy lights and tinsel.

He told the Diary he was driving along Brysons Rd, when he saw another truck come towards him in the middle of the road “It was speeding towards me as I came around the bend I had nowhere to go — I hit the wall and wrote off the truck.”

Extend stimulus package: Council ■ Yarra Ranges Council is urging the Federal Government to extend its JobSeeker and JobKeeper programs past September, amidst growing concerns for the longer term social and economic impacts of COVID-19 on local communities.

“Whilst we welcome the Federal Government’s recent $2.5 billion announcement around investment in the JobTrainer stimulus program, and see the benefits for our community, particularly our young people, we still believe a tailored approach to JobKeeper and JobSeeker is required,” said a Council statement.

“Recent predictions of a -14 per cent contraction in the Yarra Ranges economy and concerns about future employment opportunities for young people were painting a grim picture, particularly given the second phase of Stage 3 lockdowns currently being experienced by the Melbourne metropolitan area and Mitchell Shire.”

Yarra Ranges Mayor Cr Richard Higgins said Council feared a devastating financial and social crisis for Yarra Ranges and other municipalities for the foreseeable future if the current economic stimulus measures did not continue.

“There’s no doubt the Federal Government’s stimulus packages including JobKeeper and JobSeeker have helped many businesses stay afloat and keep their staff employed, while also providing a lifeline to many other people who have found themselves unemployed as a result of the pandemic,” Cr Higgins said.

“In the grip of a second wave of the pandemic, and the subsequent six-week lockdown period we are currently experiencing it is going to be very difficult for many businesses and people to recover from this if the current financial stimulus packages do not continue.”

Cr Higgins said Yarra Ranges Council had recently undertaken a number of studies and outreach activities to gain a better understanding of the short and long-term impacts of both COVID19 and the associated lockdown restrictions.

“Some of the key findings of this work are startling, particularly the expected -14 per cent contraction in Yarra Ranges’ economy, and a forecast 20.5 per cent decrease in Yarra Ranges’ Gross Regional product, which equates to a loss of around $1.35 billion,” he said.

“COVID-19 is having a crippling effect on many industries especially those in tourism.

While typically we would welcome around 6.6 million visitors each year to the Yarra Ranges, we are not likely to see those numbers again for some time to come.”

Cr Higgins said Council also had significant concerns around future employment opportunities for the 17.6 per cent of young adults aged 15-24 currently engaged in the Yarra Ranges workforce.

“We recently undertook a survey of young adults that identified 49 per cent of respondents had lost their jobs as a result of COVID-19.”

Footpath obstruction

■ In reply to complaints by the Blackburn Progress Association, a letter was received from the Blackburn and Mitcham Shire Council stating that the matter of encroachment of shrubs and branches of trees on footpaths was in the hands of the inspector.

Stevens Road

● Cr Richard Higgins, Mayor, Yarra Ranges Council second phase of Stage 3 lockdown restrictions.

Those results are likely to be much worse when we run that survey again later this year.

“Council has been contacted by many people in our community needing support, ranging from business owners struggling to stay afloat, to people who, although once thriving, have suddenly found themselves in a vulnerable position.

“Increases in mental health issues, homelessness, family violence incidents, substance abuse and social isolation are a very sad but real predicament for our region.

“We urge the Federal Government to extend its JobSeeker and JobKeeper programs,” he said.

“To end those programs in September would be putting off the inevitable – to extend them would provide millions of people with greater certainty, hope and optimism during what has become an extraordinarily challenging time.

The president (Cr. N. Armstrong) pointed ou£ that a similar situation had arisen in McClare.road, but they had found it necessary to delete it from the estimates; in such circumstances the people of Stevens road could not be given preferential treatment.

Cr. Halliday accepted the president's suggestion, and altered his motion to the effect that the. engineer prepare an estimate. The altered motion was carried.

Shire of Doncaster and Templestowe ■ Subsequent to the meeting of the Revision Court, councillors held an electric lighting committee meeting.

A representative of the State. Electricity commission was present, and conferred with members on the praposals for the supply of bulk energy for cool stores.

It was decided to hold a further committee meeting, and a report on its deliberations will be submitted to the next meeting of the full council.

Official newspaper

■ At the Blackburn and Mitcham Council on Tuesday evening, Cr Halliday moved that the motion appointing a Blackburn paper as official organ of the shire be rescinded.

Cr. Halliday said that since they had been a shire, and for years previously when they were part of Nunawading, the "Reporter" had been the official organ.

It had rendered very valuable service to the community and the district.

Observations Open House goes online

■ Melbourne’s doors may currently be closed, but Open House Melbourne’s doors are open now more than ever before – in a virtual sense.

The annual initiative that encourages appreciation for architecture, design and history has taken its traditional weekend of open days online in 2020, with six weeks of virtual tours through some of the city’s most wellknown buildings, including some of Hobsons Bay’s interesting spaces.

From now until August 31 there will be events and talks, including a Q&A with local Modscape founder Jan Gyrn at 11am on Saturday (July 25), as well as tours of some of the west’s best architecture, including: the Victorian era Williamstown Town Hall; Federation style The Substation gallery; and contemporary gems like Williamstown Library and the Australian Islamic Centre designed

by Pritzker Architecture Prize–winning architect Glenn Murcutt and Islamic architect Hakan Elevli.

Open House Melbourne is an independent organisation that has been operating an annual program since 2008.

It aims to foster public appreciation for architecture and public engagement in conversations about the future of our cities.

Following the successful program last year, Hobsons Bay Council says it is again a proud collaborator in Open House Melbourne.

The full list of buildings, access to virtual tours and additional content is available at www.openhousemelb.org Cr Colleen Gates, joint Arts Culture and Tourism portfolio holder and Mayor of Hobsons Bay Council, said: “What a fantastic way to showcase some of the best architectural design and history we have here in Hobsons Bay. “I’m proud to see Hobsons Bay’s presence grow at this year’s Open House Melbourne and I’m very much looking forward to participating in the digital offerings that have been developed during these unprecedented times.”

Cr Angela Altair, joint Arts Culture and Tourism portfolio holder at hobsons bay Council, said: “ It will be great to take a rare peek inside our many magnificent buildings and discover the story behind their design.

You can get to appreciate the creativity that has gone into buildings that are not only practical but also very beautiful. Jump on to the Open House Melbourne website and go for a wander from the comfort of your own home.”

● Cliff Peel ■ Now that all Melbourne and some of regional Victoria is in lockdown with nowhere to go, the thought of travelling somewhere, anywhere, is more than usually enticing.

Perhaps you are dreaming of travelling by watching endless train discovery programs on television, keeping company with Michael Portillo or Tony Robinson.

But in Melbourne is another inveterate traveller, retired journalist Cliff Peel, who has been an adventurer all his life and he has taken to print to share his travel adventures with us.

So while we can't go anywhere at the moment, we can take a journey with Cliff by reading his new book, Yarns of a Traveller.

As Cliff relates, a yarn is a colloquial Australian word for a story or a chat, and these travel yarns have been collected over the past 70 years.

Cliff visits places near and far, and regales us with his experiences while he grappled with local customs, foreign languages and the vagaries of public transport around the world.

He says you won't find stories like these in travel brochures, as they cover unusual adventures, quirky incidents and strange characters.

So what inspired this young octogenarian to take to print?

"During the years I've often talked to people in an informal manner about the various adventures that happened in my travels and someone said 'why don't you put it in a book?' so I did," Cliff said.

"Once I saw all the photos and notes I have, my memory was stirred into action. I'm just sitting down, chatting, as though I'm sitting at a table with a glass of wine or beer and telling you little things that happened to me over my travels.

“Sometimes they are amusing, sometimes they are testing or a bit personal, but they are just little stories that people can relate to if they have been travelling.

“And if they haven't been travelling, they can imagine what might happen to them, and discover what fun it is to travel!" Cliff said.

On a personal note, Cliff was a kind and avuncular afternoon chief of staff on this naïve cadet journalist's first day in the ABC newsroom, 40 years ago.

Cliff taught me so many fundamentals of journalism that have stayed with me, so it's rather fun to now write about my former boss, knowing that he can't change my copy.

Yarns of a Traveller is a terrific read, so why not give yourselves a treat during the lockdown - buy the book, then put your feet up, and have a glass of wine with Cliff as you join him on his adventures.

Yarns of a Traveller by Cliff Peel is available as a paperback form www.book depository.com by searching for Cliff Peel, or as an e-book from www.booktopia.com.au - Julie Houghton

Melb. Jazz Festival ■ Jazz and contemporary music enthusiasts can enjoy the final installment of These Digital Times – an online music festival series featuring local and international artists presented by the Melbourne International Jazz Festival.

Following the success of the May and June series, the next These Digital Times program on Saturday, July 25, will be live-streamed via the MIJF website direct to YouTube from 11.30am to 10.30pm.

Hadley Agrez, MIJF CEO said, “Live music remains impacted by COVID-19 restrictions, especially in Melbourne and also across the globe. Our adapted program continues to support artists to perform via a virtual broadcast to audiences around the world.”

An international duo headlining the July series features long-time collaborators at the cutting edge of the next generation of jazz – Taylor McFerrin (keyboards and beatboxer) and Marcus Gilmore (drums), who will present a split-screen set recorded in lockdown separately from their respective homes.

From Italy, the genre-crossing music created

by Vince Abbracciante and his accordion is moody, ethereal and gripping as he dives deep into psychedelic jazz music.

These Digital Times continues to create opportunities for Melbourne-based musicians, including Paul Grabowsky, who will perform a rare solo piano set revisiting his 2014 released album, Solo.

Award-winning drummer, David Jones will be joined by his friends Stephen Magnusson (guitar) and Evri Evripidou (six-string bass and effects) in an exploration of new musical territory; while improvising flutist, Erica Tucceri, will perform her latest project Vacilando with a stunning cinematic backdrop created by a live video artist.

As part of this year’s MIJF Take Note program, saxophonist Holly Moore will debut a new commission with her sextet. Initiated in 2019, the MIJF Take Note program celebrates emerging female and gender diverse leaders in jazz.

For children and families, the Junkadelic Brass Band will lead a workshop in DIY musicmaking; and for those working in the music and creative industries, there will be a panel conversation about the funding landscape and a roundtable discussion focused on career pathways for emerging artists.

These Digital Times will culminate in the premiere of new material from Barney McAll’s forthcoming album, Precious Energy. It will be a wild ride of psychedelic jazz, electronica and improvisation featuring McAll on piano, Rita Satch and Belle Bangard on vocals, Julien Wilson on tenor saxophone and a rhythm section that includes Hiatus Kaiyote’s Paul Bender alongside Leigh Fisher on drums.

Following each monthly These Digital Times editions, concerts are available on the MIJF website. The program has included music and workshops for kids and families; career development panels for artists and industry; as well as performances from emerging artists and some of the big names in Australian and international jazz and contemporary music.

The first two series in May and June have been viewed over 22,500 times across Australia, North America, Asia, the United Kingdom, Europe and South America.

Presented by MIJF, These Digital Times has been conceived and developed in conjunction with The Vizard Foundation and is also supported by the Victorian government through Creative Victoria (as principal government partner) and the City of Melbourne (as major government partner). ★ Program 11.30am.

Take Over

■ Arts Centre Melbourne in partnership with Melbourne Fringe returns to present the fourth year of the Take Over! commission with a new approach.

The Take Over! program has commissioned 10 artists/companies to make unique works which will be developed online and presented during Melbourne Fringe 2020.

The Take Over! program supports independent, visionary artists to push their creative boundaries. This year, they have been asked to develop a work that will include a two-week at-home residency culminating in a final event during Melbourne Fringe in November, which could be performed live or online.

“We received a staggering 94 applications for this project from Victorian independent artists – bold, courageous and inspiring ideas from many of our leading performance makers,” says Arts Centre Melbourne Creative Producer, Theatre and Contemporary Performance, Daniel Clarke.

“Reflecting on the artists that have been selected I am excited by the breadth of life experience that the 2020 Take Over! artists bring to the program,” From July to September, the two-week online residencies will be a chance for the artists to explore and connect with their audiences during their creative developments.

Practising within a Coronavirus landscape – this new-found way of working – will be a crucial part to their artistic process and realising the outcomes of the work.

“Spanning dance, theatre, spoken word, music, live art and installation we asked artists to consider their relationship with their audience, both online and in real life.

“I’m confident that this year’s Take Over! will result in many new works being created, works that capture a moment in time and ignite the imaginations of both our artists and audiences,” says Clarke.

At the beginning of each residency, the artists will introduce themselves and give a short introduction to the work they will be developing. By the end of the fortnight, the artists will engage with their audiences online; opening their creative process through streaming their content – all of which will be live captioned. Then, come November, all commissioned works will be presented together as part of a one-off durational event during Melbourne Fringe. Details for this to be announced in due course.

Indian Film Festival

■ The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne has announced that four of India’s most popular and prolific filmmakers will work with selected Victorian filmmaking teams to mentor and then shoot short films on the themes of Race, Disability, Sexuality and Gender.

The shorts will be compiled into one film entitled My Melbourne which will premiere at IFFM 2021 before travelling on the international film circuit.

The four film makers are Kabir Khan (Kabul Express, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Tiger Zinda Hai, 83), Rima Das (Bulbul Can Sing, Village Rockstars), Onir (My Brother Nikhil, I am) and Imtiaz Ali (Jab We Met, Rockstar, Jab Harry Met Sejal).

IFFM Festival Director Mitu Bhowmick Lange said: “This exciting initiative gives Victorian screen practitioners a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with some of the world’s best film makers and also develop relationships with them.

“I am delighted and thrilled that IFFM has secured four of India’s most diverse voices of independent cinema for these workshops and the creation of four short films on the core values of IFFM – diversity and inclusivity.”

The Festival is now calling for authentic migrant experience story ideas. Each of the four selected teams will be assigned a budget to create an original script, striving for creativity, originality and pure storytelling.

Kabir Khan, Imtiaz Ali, Rima Das and Onir will workshop and develop the selected stories and oversee pre-production with the teams via zoom.

Should travel restrictions be lifted, the four filmmakers will travel to Melbourne to shoot the films. For this short film initiative, IFFM has partnered with Blackmagic Design.

Rima Das said, “It’s an honour to receive this invitation. It’s essential for filmmakers to examine the world around them from the prism of its socio-political context. The short film will allow us to bring in authentic livedin stories that often get lost in popular culture.”

Kabir Khan says, “Celebration of our diversity is a dialogue that should be fostered in current times. In the post-pandemic world, being one with each other in a community should be the single most important takeaway.

The virus has shown us the futility of everything else. I am excited at the opportunity presented by IFFM and looking forward to the experience.”

Imtiaz Ali adds, “The last few months have been full of life lessons for all of us. Viewing stories of identity in the context of the diverse society that we are all a part of is quintessential for us to chart our path ahead. I am looking forward to meeting a new set of people and understanding their life stories for the screen.”

■ Phyllis Diller is unstoppable. This clever American comedienne is still active at the age of 95.

Phyllis started out as a pianist, got married, raised a family and re-invented herself as a comic, bringing joy and laughter to millions of fans for more than 50 fifty years.

Phyllis Ada Driver was born in Lima, Ohio in 1917 and was an only child. At primary school and college Phyllis practised her comedy on her fellow students.

After graduating from college in 1935 she attended Chicago's Sherwood Music Conservatory hoping to become a concert pianist. She went to University where she met Sherwood Diller and they married in 1939.

Their first child was born in 1940. Whilst raising an increasing family (Phyllis had six children) she worked as an advertising copywriter and continuity writer at a radio station.

During the evenings Phyllis appeared at amateur engagements as a ‘stand up’ comedienne.

She was a contestant on the television quiz show You Bet Your Life, hosted by Groucho Marx. Phyllis said in later life that she was petrified.

When Groucho asked her if she was married Phyllis replied "Yes, I've worn a wedding ring for 18 years now."

To which Groucho snapped, "Really, oh well, two more payments and it'll be all yours."

Her big break came when Phyllis got an en-

gagement at the famous Purple Onion nightclub in San Francisco. She was so popular that her season was extended to eighty seven weeks.

This led to appearances on many of the popular television shows and her fame spread internationally.

She became a good friend of Bob Hope and appeared on his television shows.

Her film credits included Splendor In The Grass, The Fat Spy, Boy Did I Get The Wrong Number, Eight On The Lam and The Sunshine Boys.

Here are some examples of some of her great one-liners I never made Who's Who but I'm featured in What's That.

● Phyllis Diller If I were a building - I'd be condemned.

At night everything either comes off or out.

In the early 1960s she toured in stage productions such as Dark At The Top of the Stairs, Wonderful Town and Happy Birthday.

In 1965 Phyllis divorced her husband and a month later married Warde Donovan, the marriage lasted for 10 years.

In 1970 she played Dolly Levi in Hello Dolly on Broadway and surprised the critics with her fine singing voice.

Phyllis toured Australia many times and appeared on television shows. She was a regular on The Don Lane Show and was a special guest on the very last show in 1983.

Phyllis underwent plastic surgery for the first time at the age of 55 and used it in her comedy routines along with references to her husband ‘Fang’.

In 1999 Phyllis suffered a heart attack and had a pacemaker fitted.

She announced her official retirement in 2002.

Several months ago Phyllis attended a Blue Ribbon Holiday Party at the famous Bel Air Hotel and is in good health.

Phyllis Diller did not get into showbusiness till her mid thirties and made the world laugh with her zany comedy.

You just had to look at her in her wigs and outlandish costumes and she would make you laugh - one of the great ‘stand up’ comics of our time.

Gems on Queensland’s Capricorn Coast

■ John Rozentals unearths some virtual gems on Queensland's Capricorn Coast.

Potential travellers should check the status of individual events and establishments with regard to the coronavirus outbreak.

As governments across the world implement social distancing in the efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19, operators on the Capricorn Coast, near Rockhampton, are offering some of their signature experiences virtually.

While regular travel may be off the cards for the foreseeable future, virtual escapism is open to everyone with an internet connection.

Here are some places to take a tour - without leaving the couch.

Pumpkin Island Catering to only 34 guess, social distancing is not a new concept to Pumpkin Island. Guests can even rent the whole island to themselves.

Pumpkin Island is fortunate to be close to the mainland to offer a quick getaway, yet ultimate seclusion with very few guests.

This allows safe social distancing whilst enjoying fresh air, beautiful nature and an own self-contained cottage with minimal interaction with other guests or staff, if that is the desire.

Keppel Bay Marina Located at the gateway to the Keppel Group of Islands, Keppel Bay Marina claims to be the friendliest and largest marina in Northern Australia.

Keppel Kraken This is a water-play feature quite unlike any other.

With a mythical sea creature centrepiece and set against the spectacular backdrop of Keppel Bay, it's the perfect place to soak up some sunshine on the beautiful Capricorn Coast.

Singing Ship Set against a coastal vista of blue seas and with Great Keppel Island in the distance, the Singing Ship at Emu Park is a majestic monument that commemorates the area's legacy of the historical explorations of Captain James Cook, who discovered this bay in May 1770.

The Centenary of Anzac Memorial Walk The reflective memorial boardwalk and its gateway gallery entry are the focal point to this thought-provoking

● Leo Sayer.

■ Leo Sayer became a naturalised Australian in January, 2009. Leo is one of the hardest working entertainers –even in isolation. His new version of the Beatles Eleanor Rigby is great and is well worth listening to on You Tube. Leo is a self-described Beatles tragic and has some 30 other Beatles numbers in the offing.

Another outstanding Oz entertainer Ian Moss has a huge agenda of live performances lined up for 2001 once COVID-19 is under control. His version of Tucker’s Daughter is my fave..

Pop phenomenom returns

■ In the 1990s the animated satirical sitcom cartoon Beavis and ButtHead was a huge rating success. Now the boys, Beavis and Butt-Head are coming back, they’re all grown up and their quirky irreverent lewd humour is still there, as raw as ever. Spokesperson for the series said: “It’s time to get stupid again.” Check TV guides for start date on Comedy Central .

Ace takes plunge

■ The Ace Radio Network has taken the plunge and purchased the licence to re-introduce 3MP Easy Music. Using the original call sign the new 3MP had a soft launch and is already on air targeting Melbourne and Mornington Peninsula on 1377 AM frequency. Original 3MP was launched in 1976 and financed by a quorum of cashed up radio-TV personalities. Breakfast will be hosted by Jon Vertigan and Julie Strini.

Vale Ken Shadie

■ Sydney script writer Ken Shadie died last week. The boy from Bondi rose from panel operator at a radio station to being nominated for an Oscar in 1983 for his work on the iconic Crocodile Dundee. Shadie also wrote for a string of Oz TV comedies including The Mavis Bramston Show, Number 96 , Paul Hogan Show and heaps more rib tickling sitcoms. Crocodile Dundee grossed $ 47,707.045 at the box office. The writing team was Paul Hogan, John ’Strop’ Cornell and Shadie .

Odd move by Seven

■ Over the years Seven has travelled a rocky road when it comes to current affairs. Their latest venture is weird. It’s called Seven News Spotlight and it commences late July.

Why I consider it weird is that Spotlight has no regular night to appear it will bob up in prime time any night between Sunday to Wednesday. That’s the sort of programming they do with ’fillers’ . Viewers want continuity.

Based on the book "The Surgeon of Crowthorne: A Tale of Murder, Madness and the Love of Words" by Simon Winchester, this is fascinating true-fife story on the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary is a solid effort, a beautifully filmed journey that holds interest throughout due to the performances of the two leads, most notably Mel Gibson as Professor James Murray, but only just. as it lacks a more coherent narrative and emotional depth and drive.

Co-written by acclaimed Oscar nominated writer-director John Boorman (Deliverance, Excalibur, Hope & Glory), and beginning as a personal project for Mel Gibson, who worked on adapting the book for over 20 years before production began, and who originally intended to direct, here he shines throughout with bursts of momentary spark as he attacks the monumental task ahead, however, as compelling and foreboding as he can be, it is Sean Penn as the doctor undergoing treatment at the Lunatic Asylum who all too continuously gives the film an overwhelmingly unevenness and heavyhandedness.

19th Century period detail, costume design and production design all excel, along with a stellar supporting cast that includes Jennifer Ehle, Natalie Dormer, Jeremy Irvine, Eddie Marsan and Steve Coogan, all at the top of their game, but sadly, following constant legal battles from beginning production in 2016 and now disavowed by Mel Gibson, first time feature director Farhad Safinia (credited here as P.B. Sherman), has created a n bitterly empty and ultimately unfulfilling experience in what should have been the cinematic equivalent of a real page turner, but ultimately remains a closed book.

FILM: FIELD OF DREAMS: 30th Anniversary 4K-ULTRA HD + Blu-ray . Special Edition: Genre: Fantasy/Drama.

Cast: Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta, Burt Lancaster, James Earl Jones.

Year: 1989.

Rating: PG. Length: 106 Minutes.

Stars: **** Verdict: The charming and haunting fantasy of a farmer who hears a voice that commands him to build a baseball field, so he does, and the results are startling.

Smart and intelligent script, controlled and sensitive direction and excellent performances from a top notch cast, most notably screen legend Burt Lancaster in his final big screen role, Ray Liotta as Baseball legend "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and James Earl Jones.

Writer/Director Phil Alden Robinson has created a funny, moving and unforgettable heart-rending journey of redemption, a poignant journey of pure joy every step of the way ... and you don't have to have any interest in baseball what so ever to be captured by its magic.

The new 30th Anniversary release features a breathtaking 4K Ultra High Definition transfer plus standard Blu-ray, and comes with a host of special features including Feature Commentary, Interviews and Featurettes. A Must See! FILM: THE KILLERS - Blu-Ray Special Edition: Genre: Crime/Drama/Mystery/Thriller.

Cast: Lee Marvin, Angie Dickinson, John Cassavetes, Clu Gulager.

Year: 1964.

Rating: M. Length: 93 Minutes Stars: ***½ Verdict: Not the 1946 classic but "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "Dirty Harry" director Don Siegel's stylish and thrilling adaptation of the classic story of two professional hit men who try to find out who hired them for a job and why.

Lee Marvin gives a shattering, standout performance in his first big screen starring role as the volatile no-nonsense hit man, and is matched scene for scene by Clu Gulager as his menacing partner, along with the beautiful Angie Dickinson as the femme-fatale, John Cassavetes as the intended victim and future President Ronald Reagan in his final big screen role as the ruthless crime boss.

Rourke’s Reviews Relic ■ (M). 89 minutes. Now streaming on Stan.

Again showing that genre filmmaking can provide the ideal framework to explore real-world social and personal issues, Relic is an immensely focused, smartly executed piece whose topic will resonate with many viewers who have had to deal with its overwhelming ramifications.

Kay (Emily Mortimer) and her grown daughter Sam (Bella Heathcote) arrive at the former's country family home when she receives a call saying that her mother, Edna (Robyn Nevin), has gone missing.

A police search ensues, and while all Kay and Sam can do is wait and hope, they see that Edna's house is falling into disrepair, but also notice that the doors have newly added locks on them.

When Edna suddenly reappears, Kay dismisses her behaviour as the onset of dementia, but as their stay lengthens, it appears there is something else in the house.

Co-writer/director Natalie Erika James makes an extraordinary feature film debut, intelligently mixing horror and drama (filled with symbolism) to often riveting effect.

James creates an oppressive atmosphere (at times reminiscent of films such as Hideo Nakata's Dark Water and Tony Scott's The Hunger), but never forgets the human anguish behind it, and has been blessed with three perfectly cast actors, all of whom deliver firstclass work.

Technically the film is also impressive. Relic is a real shot-in-thearm for the Australian film industry (and is a more sustained effort than Jennifer Kent's acclaimed The Babadook), and I can't wait to see what James does next.

RATING - ****

Greyhound ■ (M). 91 minutes. Now streaming on Apple TV+.

Despite an abundance of authentic technical detail, this adaptation of C.S. Forester's 1955 novel is ultimately underwhelming, almost solely due to a Tom Hanks screenplay that is sorely lacking in character depth and at least a modicum of back story.

The story, set in 1942, centres on Captain Krause (Tom Hanks), a veteran officer who is given command of a destroyer for the first time, where his mission will be to escort 37 convoy ships across the North Atlantic.

The most dangerous part of Krause's assignment will be to protect the supply ships for around the fifty hours where they won't have air support.

Those dangers become a reality when the convoy comes under attack by the notorious German UBoat unit known as The Wolf Pack.

The absence of character detail is obvious from the start, (blink and you'll miss Elisabeth Shue; Stephen Graham is criminally wasted), and seriously hampers any opportunity to become emotionally invested in proceedings.

As a lean, adrenaline-pumping thriller, Greyhound also falters, as Hanks' script is repetitive, basically serving up the same attack scenario again and again, with no well-defined characters to thread it together into a compelling whole.

Director Aaron Schneider, who hasn't helmed a film since the underrated Get Low in 2009, tries to keep everything as low-key and realistic as possible, an approach which not only partially suppresses Hanks' tendency to dip into Saving Private Ryan style sentimentalism and old-fashioned patriotism, but allows him to craft some effective sequences.

Greyhound aims to be concise and minimalist, but Hanks hasn't chosen his words carefully, leaving viewers more aware of nautical jargon, rather than creating a fascinating insight into the courageous people who spoke it.

Just watch Dick Powell's 1957 classic The Enemy Below instead.

RATING - **½

Japan Sinks ■ (MA). 10 episodes. Now streaming on Netflix.

World-renowned animator Masaaki Yuasa (Mind Game, Ride Your Wave) teams up with Pyeongang Ho (School-Live!, Sword Art Online) to bring the third adaptation of Sakyo Komatsu's best-selling novel to the screen, and while very different from the 1973 and 2006 live-action feature films, it is both unpredictable and engrossing.

The Japanese public are shocked by a series of horrendous earthquakes, and as we mainly see the events unfold through the eyes of one family, it is discovered that the entire country will end up under water.

The series is dour, grim and sad, but superbly balances the best and worst of human nature, and concludes in genuinely moving fashion.

RATING - ****½ - Aaron Rourke

Continued from left column Screen hit men would never be the same again, and it was these two performances that were the inspiration for the hit men duo of John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, among many others.

Originally made for television as Universal Pictures first TV Movie of the Week it was considered to tense and violent and release in cinemas.

Great cast all shine in this razor sharp, nail-biting thriller that has never looked better and comes highly recommended!

An outstanding Special Feature includes: Reagan Kills: In this new video interview, best-selling writer Mark Eliot (Ronald Reagan: The Hollywood Years) discusses the life, legacy and Hollywood image of Ronald Reagan.

Screen Killer: Writer Dwayne Epstein (Lee Marvin: Point Blank) discusses the life, legacy and character image of Lee Marvin, as well as the production history of The Killers.

Have some Ladera, my dear

■ John Rozentals salutes an inspired piece of Clare Valley vineyard establishment and finds himself saying 'Have some Ladera, my dear'.

These days just about every winemaker seems to be spruiking access to tempranillo and the Spanish red variety is the in-vogue flavour.

Just 15 or so years ago it wasn't like that and the Clare Valley's Tim Adams was an Australian pioneer with the variety.

Adams already thought he was too old to bother with experiments but considered the valley a natural match for the variety's Riojan homeland.

If the variety had done well there it should do okay where he came from, just outside of the town of Clare to the north of Adelaide, so he took the plunge and planted a substantial vineyard of the variety.

So convinced of the success of his move was he that he took an exploratory trip to Spain to meet the winemakers and taste wines in Rioja.

There Tim met Isaac Muga, of the noted winemaking dynasty.

Isaac agreed to work with Tim in Clare for vintage 2004.

That year Tim had planted planted 6.5 hectares of tempranillo on a dry-grown site to the east of his winery.

He named this unique site 'Ladera', Spanish for 'slope' or 'hillside', as it had a very valuable and

beautiful steep easterly aspect.

When Isaac took his first steps in the new vineyard he said "Ah Ladera".

The name stuck and the rest is history.

WINE REVIEWS Lillypilly 2019 Barbera ($19.50): I don't normally review the same wine twice but I've made an exception here because this totally unwooded lightish dry red is so different.

Sure, it has become slightly more bitter since release but that shouldn't matter with food. More importantly, it's as fresh and fragrant as the day it was made, and I see

● Ladera in the Clare Valley. no reason to change my suggestion of pairing with good pizza.

Tim Adams 2014 Schaefer Shiraz ($40): This is a good, grippy full-bodied dry red and I like it. The vineyard was established by the Schaefer family in the 1980s and subsequently purchased by Tim Adams and his wife Pam Goldsack, who obviously know their Clare grapes well.

It's a richly flavoured wine with ample dark-berry flavours and plumminess. Try it with roast beef of just about any persuasion.

WINE OF THE WEEK Tim Adams 2016 Ladera Tempranillo ($40): Like the

Schaefer Shiraz, this dry red is part of theAdams' 'Single-Vineyard' series of wines.

Small berries have led to intense flavous in this savoury number which is remarkably juicy and has a decided streak of cinnamon.

The wine has at least a decade's future in the cellar but, if you must try it now, do it the favour of matching it with high-quality roast lamb, complete with trimmings.

NOTE: Potential travellers should check the status of individual events and establishments with regard to the coronavirus outbreak.
