The Whip Our Spy in Parliament

Steph Ryan quits

● Steph Ryan, Euroa MLA ■ Deputy Nationals Leader Steph Ryan has quit that post, and will quit Parliament this year. The former Riverine Herald journalist who grew up on a Murchison dairy farm says she will focus on her growing family.

Some Nationals insiders are furious that Ms Ryan has decided to abandon her position, after being groomed over the past halfdozen years to take over the Parliamentary party.

Instead, the Nationals now look as they have to battle with their Liberal coalition partners over who is the next member for the Lower House seat.

Greg Mirabella, who has been a Senator, albeit briefly, was canvassed as a potential member, but he wants to take over the State Presidency of the Liberal Party.

Limbrick move

■ State Upper House member David Limbrick resigned from the Victorian Parliament to unsuccesffully contest the Federal Election.

At the latest sitting of the Legislative Council, the President said: “ I have been informed by a registered officer of the Liberal Democratic Party that they have selected a person to be nominated to fill the seat in the Legislative Council rendered vacant by the resignation of Mr David Limbrick.”

Liberal MLC David Davis said: “I just want to make some very brief comments to say we strongly support this step and the timely way in which it is being implemented and to welcome Mr Limbrick back very shortly.”

AG’s swipe at Davis

■ State Attorney-General, Jaclyn Symes, took a swipe at the Opposition’s David Davis in the latest sitting of the Legislative Council.

Mr Davis said: “I refer to the so-called Red Wedding at the Department of Justice and the massive turnover of staff, including a redundancy spike, as it was politicised by your secretary, Rebecca Falkingham, a matter now under investigation by the Ombudsman, and I ask: in addition to the Ombudsman’s investigation, will you immediately refer this corrupt politicisation of the department to the public service commission?”

My Symes said some of the inferences in the David comments were “outrageous”.

Champion Ian

■ Beverley McArthur, Western Victorian MLC, took time in State Parliament to recognise former MP Ian Cover of the Coodabeen Champions for his Order of Australia announced last month. “[He is] as a member of the very witty and wonderful Coodabeen Champions team on the ABC—it is probably the only good thing that has ever been on the ABC.”

Vape seizure at Eltham ✖

Visibility was limited in the Kinglake v Yea netball match at the Kinglake Memorial Reserve last Saturday, as this Facebook photo shows. Yea Racing Club Denis Smith says he recalls when the Kinglake was so thick during a local footy match that the goal umpires used walkietalkies to communicate scores.

Banyule Mayor Cr Elizabeth Nealy says her Council will continue a strong focus on addressing climate change, "propelling our organisation and the community to carbon neutrality.”

The Victorian Labor Government’s propensity to appoint Monitors and Ad ministrators to misbehaving Council grows, and speculation increases that Administrators will be appointed to the dysfunctional Darebin Council run by pro-Green Councillors. A monitor is in place at Darebin, as is the case at Yarra. Administrators are in power in Whittlesea. Last week, the Government appointed a Monitor for Horsham Rural City Council to help guide good governance and help forge its future. Minister for Local Government Melissa Horne last week announced a monitor will be appointed at Horsham Rural City Council. The monitor, their terms and other details will be named at a later date.

● Nicholson Street Yarra City Council has begun works to improve the look and feel of the Carlton North precinct – Nicholson Village. Works include upgrades to seating, garden beds, signage, footpaths and the planting of trees along Nicholson St between Richardson/Reid Sts and Park St. Installation of new accessible seating and garden bed upgrades have already taken place. These additions aim to improve the aesthetic of the street as well as introduce native fauna and biodiversity to the area.

Bitter cold met the good-hearted volunteers at the St Andrews CFA last Thursday (July 7) qhwn they were paged at 3.30am to a report car over the edge of the Heidelberg-Kinglake Rd. Luckily the driver was okay and managed to escape safely. The CFA volunteers had to deal with criticism for closing the road.

“Unfortunately sometimes we just have to.

When we are able to let you through an incident safely and our lights are on you MUST drive slowly. Regardless of how frustrated you may be the law is 40kmh for our safety as well as yours,” the team said in a social media post.

■ A man has been charged after police seized more than 1000 vapes at a retail business in Eltham.

A warrant was on Wednesday last week (July 6) executed at a Pitt St shop after Police received a number of reports of vapes being sold to underage persons at the premises.

Eltham Police seized 1154 vapes.

The vapes are typically sold for $25 each, putting the combined value of the seizure at almost $30,000.

A 56-year-old man was arrested and charged with the illegal sale of vapes to underage persons, failing to hold an appropriate licence to sell nicotine vapes and unauthorised supply of nicotine vapes.

The man, from Eltham, was released on bail to appear before Heidelberg Magistrates’ Court on October 6.

The Drugs Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981 lists nicotine as a Schedule 4 poison.

This means nicotine vaping products – including nicotine vapes, nicotine pods, nicotine e-liquids/e-juice and liquid nicotine – can only be sold to or possessed by a person aged 18 or older who has a valid prescription.

Selling a nicotine vaping product to some-

one without a valid prescription attracts a $18,492 fine.

The Tobacco Act 1987 regulates vape products and accessories regardless of whether they contain nicotine.

It prohibits sale to people aged under 18 years, bans the use of vapes in areas where smoking is banned and restricts the advertising and display of these products, regardless of whether they contain nicotine.

It’s Emergency planning time ■ Nillumbik Council is partnering with the Country Fire Authority and Red Cross to host a series of informal drop-in sessions for community members to discuss their emergency preparedness plans.

The drop-in sessions offer free one-on-one support to Nillumbik residents to create an emergency plan.

Running at various locations and times across the Shire, the sessions are designed to improve access to resources and advice.

People with disability, older people and paid or unpaid carers are also encouraged to attend one of the sessions to talk to CFA and Red Cross representatives as well as Council’s Emergency Management and Environment Officers about planning for emergencies such as storms, power outages, bushfires and heatwaves.

● Cr Frances Eyre Mayor Cr Frances Eyre said Nillumbik has seen floods, fires and storms and the sessions would make it easier and more convenient for people to discuss their personal emergency plans.

“It is important for everyone in the community.

No booking is required,

just drop in for a free cuppa and chat with experts about your emergency plan.

Contact emergency. management@nillumbik.vic.gov.au or call the Emergency Management team on 9433 3160 to discuss access requirements, or to request resources and information in an alternative format.

Session dates: ■ Thursday, July 21. 10am – 1pm. St Andrews Community Centre, 35 Caledonia Street, St Andrews ■ Tuesday, August 16.

12.15pm – 3.15pm. Eltham Library Community Room Panther Place, Eltham ■ Monday, September 19.

The off-road team located and intercepted two high performance Can Am off road buggies along Spraggs Rd about 1.30pm.

Police spoke to drivers of both buggies, who both had passengers on board.

Police encourage anyone with information or with dashcam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Local Briefs Reservoir warrant

■ Darebin Crime Investigation Unit detectives have charged a man after a warrant relating to stolen women’s clothing was executed earlier this month.

12 horses killed

● These buggies were intercepted at Toolangi on Sunday.

■ Twelve horses have been killed following a stable fire in Forbes, near Kilmore.

Police have been told the resident of the Lancefield-Kilmore Rd property heard what sounded like popping noises around 12.30am before they went outside to investigate.

The resident found the horse stables, adjacent to the family home, engulfed in flames and raised the alarm.

A number of horses were able to be retrieved from the burning stables but sadly it is believed 12 died in the blaze.

Police said there is nothing to suggest the fire is suspicious however they set up a crime scene as a fire investigator was to attend.

Problem at Panton Hill

■ The uncertain future aof Panton Hill Kindergarten has been raised in State Parliament by Northern Victoria MLC Wendy Lovell.

“My question is for the Minister for Early Childhood. Minister: the Panton Hill kindergarten is without a cluster manager for next year and is facing closure unless a management structure can be put in place immediately,” Ms Lovell said.

“The kindergarten is the feeder for students who go on to attend Panton Hill Primary School, and if children are forced to attend kindergarten in Hurstbridge it is likely that student numbers at Panton Hill Primary will decline.

“The Nillumbik Shire has asked the government for assistance, but so far nothing constructive has been forthcoming.

“Minister, what assistance will you commit to providing to the Nillumbik Shire to ensure they can secure a manager for Panton Hill kindergarten so this service can remain operational?”

Harriet Shring replied: “I thank Ms Lovell for her question regarding Panton Hill Preschool and for her interest in Victorian kindergartens.

“I am sure she would join in applauding the unprecedented investment that our government is making in early childhood education, including $9 billion worth of investment, a commitment that will change lives for families and also have a very positive impact on the viability of our kindergartens, particularly our ses-

sional kindergartens.

In terms of Panton Hill Preschool, I am obviously aware of these issues.

“The Department of Education and Training has been working closely with the shire council to identify options for management for the preschool from 2023.

“It is a small kindergarten, as you are aware.

“It has had viability concerns in the past, and the government took steps to make sure that the preschool was supported and was able to continue to operate.

“In terms of last year’s budget, we also included in last year’s budget $31.2 million to support all early years managers to improve viability, access and quality.

“It is not an unusual circumstance, Ms Lovell, for some early years managers or individual kindergarten services or operators to divest or indicate their intention to divest of a particular service.

“I know that it is a much-loved local kindergarten, and I am committed to making sure that the department continues to work closely with the current operator, the local council and the preschool community to make sure that there is a solution found well ahead of next year’s kindergarten year.”

Ms Lovell said: “Nothing constructive has come of talks between the Nillumbik shire and the government. This kindergarten will close unless a manager is appointed immediately,” Ms Lovell warned.

■ Unwanted sexual behaviour on public transport will be easier to report through a new Victoria Police service.

The service, called STOPIT, allows people subjected to such behaviour or who witness it to discreetly text police using their mobile phone.

To initiate the service, commuters can text ‘STOPIT’ to 0499 455 455.

They then receive a link to provide information to a dedicated team of transit police about what's happened.

It's the first time a police force in Australia has deployed such technology.

A similar service has operated in the UK for several years and credited with empowering victims and bystanders to come forward.

Victoria Police has been developing STOPIT since 2019 to help combat sexual offending on public transport and give commuters greater confidence when they travel.

People using the service will be able to notify police about six types of behaviours comprising unwanted sexual behaviour, suspicious behaviour, threatening and offensive behaviour, obscene and racist language, drug and alcohol-related incidents and graffiti and property damage.

They are directed to a digital form and asked to submit details of the incident including the time, date, location and public transport carriage number.

A photo may also be submitted if it is safe to capture one. Information from notifications will be used to help police identify and hold perpetrators to account.

It will also be used to help Victoria Police determine where to deploy members and tackle recidivist offending.

Anyone ● T requiring an immediate police response in an emergency is still advised to phone Triple Zero (000).

STOPIT is not monitored live and should not be used if an urgent response is required.

Research completed for Victoria Police has shown people who are subjected to unwanted sexual behaviour or witness it often don't report it at the time out of safety concerns or because they don’t know how to make a complaint.

Victoria Police has worked with the Department of Transport, public transport operators, the Public Transport Users Association and women's advocacy groups in the development of STOPIT.

Grants for disabled

■ Nillumbik Council invites community groups, schools and not-for-profit organisations throughout the Shire to apply for a grant to celebrate International Day of People with Disability.

Celebrated annually on December 3, the United Nations-observed IDPwD aims to increase public awareness and understanding of people with disability, and celebrate their achievements and contributions.

Each year Nillumbik Council offers grants of up to $1000 to run events or activities to celebrate IDPwD and highlight disability inclusion in Nillumbik.

Mayor Cr Frances Eyre said IDPwD provides an opportunity to recognise and celebrate people with disability – including the 4.4 million Australians with disability.

“IDPwD is a chance for all of us to challenge the way we think about disability and help Australia become more inclusive,” Cr Eyre said.

“Last year, grant-funded inclusive activities included a live music event in Alistair Knox Park, a song and dance party, and a series of barefoot bowls events.

“More like these will be important to help our community reconnect after the isolation of COVID-19,” she said.

Grant applications close on August 15 and events or activities must be held between November and January.

If you’d like more information about the grants or want to discuss an idea for a disability inclusive event or activity, call the Disability Inclusion Team on 0438 277 428 or email inclusion@nillumbik.vic.gov.au nillumbik.smartygrants.com.au/ IDPWD2022

Local Theatre Unsolicited Male

Confidential Melbourne

Talk is cheap, gossip is priceless

Mesmorising MSO

● Gabriella Rose-Carter and Kym Valentine rehearse Unsolicited Male.

Photo: Michael Teo ■ Melbourne-based Q44 Theatre brings Unsolicited Male - a #MeToo inspired play written by award-winning Australian playwright Ron Elisha, directed by Suzanne Heywood and starring Kym Valentine - back to the stage at Chapel Off Chapel in Prahran, for a limited return season from July 26 August 7.

Two main characters; Zeke an accountant in his late forties and his PA Wendy are working late one night and decide to go out for a meal, but things don’t go to plan, in fact things go much too far. Set in a suburban accounting firm, Unsolicited Male is an intimate and confronting exploration of the subtle nuances and complexities of workplace relationships - the inevitable connections that can develop, and the fine line between friendship and flirtation.

“It was remarkable the number of people who divulged that they’d had similar experiences, and we got that feedback all the time – more people need to see this show," says director Suzanne Heywood. "A lot has happened in the world since then and I think there’s a new moment in time, right now, that’s ideal for this particular piece.”

Written by Ron Elisha in response to the #MeToo movement and Harvey Weinstein story, Unsolicited Male aims to turn the spotlight away from Hollywood and onto the everyday lives of ordinary men and women, where many of the same issues are being played out behind closed doors and asks important and difficult questions about power dynamics and gender stereotypes.

Rated MA15+ Unsolicited Male contains confronting sexual scenes and themes, however Kym Valentine, who plays the lead character of Wendy and is an active Domestic and Family Violence Advocate says; “People should come and see this play because it’s a hell of a ride. I think Ron really captures a very difficult balance between humour and drama.”

Known for her roles as Libby Kennedy on Neighbours and Baby in Dirty Dancing The Classic Story Onstage, the Tropfest 2019 Best Actor Nominee actress, will be joined by popular improv-comedian Russell Fletcher as Zeke, alongside seasoned Q44 Theatre actors Gabriella Rose-Carter as Chelsea the sister and Anthony Scundi as Noah - the life coach. Will Atkinson and Andy BarryBrown will alternate in the role of Marshall the waiter.

Independent and not-for-profit; Q44 Theatre is a collective of writers, actors and producers who are passionate about making thought-provoking and accessible theatre.

Q44 believes in the power of theatre and storytelling to spark conversations, to make people think more, feel more and laugh more.

■ Sitting in Hamer Hall at the Arts Centre is an experience in itself. I had not been to a classical music concert in many years- other than the recent Toy Story in which I listened to the music, yet watched the film.

This time eyes were all on the impeccably dressed musicians and vibrant conductor Xiang Zhang.

The first act was Violin Concerto No 1, written by Zhao Jiping of China. Performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with soloist violinist Ning Feng of China. Feng plays beautifully on a 1710 Stradivari violin called the Vieuxtemps Hauser.

Whilst my older companion felt this piece was too modern, this is what I loved about it. It was fresh , soft, lyrical with passion shown not only by the music but with the artist himself whose eyes and facial expressions told a story of a man passionate about his music.

The second act Beethoven Symphony No. 9 was the familiar of the two pieces. Whilst it was long, well over an hour, it was broken into four sections, one of which was the familiar Ode to Joy sung in German with the MSO chorus of 78 with four soloists.

The chorus, whose director is Michael Fulcher, quietly made their way to the balcony and stage back, followed by four singers looking stunning.

Madeleine Pierard soprano, Ashlyn Tymms mezzo-soprano, Rosario la Spina tenor and Nathan Berg bass. This familiar tune comes at the end of the piece, sung in German with lyrics

by Friedrich Von Schiller.

Whilst unfortunately I do not understand German and would love to hear the English translated version it was a privilege to be listening to these talented artists.

Xiang Zhang, the American-Chinese principal guest conductor of the MSO in conducting both pieces, was memorisingly extraordinary, very demonstrative, smiling, showing a control over and appreciation for the whole orchestra.

It was no wonder the applause from the audience, most standing, seemed to last 10 minutes.

Oracle presents specialty acts and choreography set to a soundtrack of classic anthems, hit songs, ballads, covers and cinematic masterpieces. The handmade costumes pay homage to some of the biggest names of the fashion world.

Oracle creator Bass Fam says, "It is nothing short of a miracle that we have reached this point. This show was set to be performed in July/August 2020 but we had to cancel due to the pandemic. We had to recast and re-audition and find a new venue. And then cancel and postpone auditions due to lockdowns - it has been quite the journey. And now we have a stunning cast of 18 performers from all around Australia, performing tales of zodiac mythology that have inspired me from a young age."

Since the beginning of time, humankind, gods and goddesses alike, have all looked up to the stars in an attempt to draw meaning from the Universe.

In doing so, prophecies, myths and tales have been told; tales of monsters, mermaids and other mythical creatures.

Of powerful goddesses, and vengeful gods, of heroes and beautiful maidens. Tales of a decadent time, of love and lust, of bravery and sacrifice. Tales and legends that birthed the star constellations of the Zodiac signs we know today.

Delivering these prophecies and myths, a maiden - a warrior, a saviour and an empathy, a beauty robbed of sight but blessed with vision.

The voice of the gods, the light in the dark. She is Oracle, performed by The Voice and The X Factor contestant, Jazmin Varlet.

Jayne Tuttle's Paris Or Die is based on Jayne’s 2019 memoir of the same name.

Directed by Tuttle’s fellow Lecoq Theatre School graduate John Bolton, the play follows the story of a young actress drawn to the city of light after her mother’s death.

Jayne transforms as she plays herself, the character of the writer and the person within the story. A combination of physical theatre, improvisation and storytelling.

Jane Clifton's collection of poems A Day at a Time in Rhyme is distilled from 365 poems published in the original book.

Also published on the cusp of the pandemic, Jane's poetry has been transformed into an immersive piece of hybrid theatre directed by Terrence O’Connell.

Comprising spoken word, soundscape, image and music, A Day at a Time in Rhyme is a poetic trip through one year in a well-lived life filled with joy, pathos, strength and humour.

Paris or Die is created by Jayne Tuttle and John Bolton, directed by John Bolton and performed by Jayne Tuttle.

A Day at a Time in Rhyme is written, performed and produced by Jane Clifton and directed by Terrence O'Connell.

What’s On Early Years of Television

■ Dr Gwenda Beed Davey, Chair Melbourne Friends of the National Film and Sound Archive hosted Susan-Gaye Anderson’s talk on early Melbourne television.

Her talk cited the 1950s Royal Commission to establish Australia’s need for television resulting in one national channel and two commercial stations.

Just in time for the Melbourne Olympic Games, Channel 7 undertook the Games coverage with three television cameras on the back of a truck.

Thrown in at the deep end, Susan-Gaye was part of Melbourne TV from the beginning.

Her mother answered an advertisement for Susan-Gaye to audition for a job with the first commercial station, Channel 7.

Sue auditioned, not knowing what television, nor the job, was about until she received a letter two weeks later asking her to go to the television station.

The Frigidaire Show was her first gig.

These were the days of people watching black and white screenings through neighbours’ or shop windows.

Susan-Gaye moved to a long-lasting career with Channel 9. On The Astor Show performers mimed popular songs such as Debbie Reynolds' hits. Her career flowed onto years on The Tarax Show and years as a presenter. These shows were all live.

She illustrated the naivety and courage of a cohesive team of entertainers, producers, writers and technicians learning on the job and adapting to a pioneering medium.

Susan-Gaye modestly apologised for the supporting slide presentation as most pictures captured her own image. It was her mother’s collection which filmed many early, recognisable TV stars.

It represents a valuable, historical record.

Susan-Gaye explained that much priceless footage has been destroyed and funding is needed to restore recoverable, archival material. NFSA’s contribution is immense.

Susan-Gaye presented an incisive but comprehensive homage to early broadcasting technology providing a unique context to the phenomenon of media technology today.

Her talk was presented at the Liardet Community Centre, Port Melbourne.

Josh Staley

■ Conjurer means a person, “who as if by magic brings into existence or causes something to appear with rapid movements of the hands.”

And that is exactly what Josh Staley offered us when appearing at the Melbourne Magic Festival.

In this stage performance Josh had many members of the audience as subjects of his sleight of hand and dexterity in creating situations that seemed impossible.

It is said that magic is about crafting a moment in time, that one should never forget witnessing. Such was the case where a large balloon was burst and a bottle of wine apeared.

A $5 note was taken from an audience member who signed it before Josh cut it up. Only moments later the signed note reappeared fully intact.

With a pack of playing cards strewn across the floor and picked up at random by audience members, resulted in Josh identifying the cards without fault.

So there was a lot more to wonder about, tricks with shoes, correctly identifying people’s birthday, day and months while testing our curiosity with a numbers game that resulted in something that would seem impossible, that is identifying an audience member's pin numbers.

He is truly an international performer, a Guinness world record holder for the " longest magic show”.

Be careful if he asks you for money. Will you see it again?

Comedy of Errors

● Julia Billington (Dromio of Syracuse) and Ella Prince (Dromio of Ephesus) in The Comedy of Errors.

Photo: Brett Boardman ■ Bell Shakespeare’s production of The Comedy of Errors arrives in Melbourne for a season from July 13-23 at Arts Centre Melbourne, then tours regional Victoria before continuing with a national tour.

The Comedy of Errors was due to be presented in 2020 but was disrupted due to COVID. The production will tour across Victoria, starting at Arts Centre Melbourne from July 13-23, then to Horsham Town Hall on July 26, The Lighthouse Theatre, Warrnambool on July 28 and West Gippsland Arts Centre on July 30.

Directed by Bell Shakespeare collaborator Janine Watson, the play is a comedic romp of swapped identities, misguided love, mistaken imprisonment, and chaotic mishap.

Set in the 1970s, a time in history when global tensions were sky high but was juxtaposed with social movements fighting for liberation and change, the production takes place over a 24hour period in a colourful and hedonistic seaside land that feels as if anything can and will happen.

Two sets of twins who have been separated

● Jimeoin for decades strive to be brought back together, and as the dawn arises, all the threads come untangled, and the truth is revealed.

Director Janine Watson says, "Make no mistake - this production will be a fast paced and rollicking comedy, full of verbal wit and physical high jinx. But the characters are desperate for freedom, reunion, love - and that’s what we’ll keep at the heart of our show.”

Gender fluidity has been explored amongst the characters, with the Dromio twins played by Julia Billington and Ella Prince, while the Antipholus twins will be portrayed by Felix Jozeps and Skyler Ellis.

Joining them onstage will be Joseph Althouse, Giema Contini,Alex King, Leilani Loau, Lauren Richardson and Maitland Schnaars. www.bellshakespeare.com.au/ the-comedy-of-errors - Cheryl Threadgold

The Amateurs

■ Founded in theatre’s historical roots, The Amateurs is Jordan Harrison’s epistle to the redemptive value of performance and culture.

Beset by the plague, a touring troupe attempts a performance of the medieval mystery play, Noah’s Flood, hoping to secure themselves sanctuary in the Duke’s castle. The rudimentary and makeshift nature of their performance makes this a dubious but comic exercise. Larking (Dion Mills) prays for better actors, Rona (Olga Makeeva) asks to be made a virgin again, and Brom (Darcy Kent) grapples with his homosexuality.

Meanwhile the simple Gregory (Brian Lipson) draws two of each animal for a backdrop, Hollis (Emily Goddard) grieves for her recently departed brother and a stranger (Khisraw Jones-Shukoor) seeks refuge with the group.

The counterpoint of the medieval with contemporary dialogue could well have been sufficient ‘stuff’ for drama. The stylised direction (Susie Dee) of the period and the versatile performance cart (Dann Barber) highlight the ingenuity and period craft of the day. But Harrison shatters not just the fourth wall but the anonymity of the playwright. He intercedes in the drama - acknowledging that there is an actor in his guise (Brian Lipson) - and makes a case for the role of drama as one of the foundations of our identity, life and culture. In an instant, the audience is compelled into the present day and begin to draw parallels between the pandemic ridden past and the present - even though Harrison references AIDS. We even have an art lesson adding to the layering. In the hands of lesser actors, this could well have been confusing or awkward but the Red Stitch ensemble delight in the period grandiosity while simultaneously being able to revert to direct audience engagement.

This is an astounding production in terms of what Harrison attempts by progressing the art form, in the performances given, in the ensemble interaction and direction to allow for the movement between forms, and in the use of the contained space that is the Red Stitch theatre. The ultimate point being hammered home is that theatre is one of the original pieces of ironmongery from Christ’s cross representing the sacrifice that has made a culture.

● Julie Houghton ■ If Australia gave the world its greatest soprano Nellie Melba in the 19th century, England produced the world’s best contralto when Kathleen Ferrier was born on April 22, 1912.

Her extraordinary voice was a one off, and her life was over too soon when she died of cancer in 1953, aged just 41.

Beloved Katie – a celebration of Kathleen Ferrier will have its premiere performance on Saturday July 23 as part of the 2023 Diamond Creek Concert Series.

But behind the superb voice of Kathleen Ferrier was a down to earth Lancashire lass with an impish sense of humour and genuine friendships with the musical greats of her era, from Britten to Barbirolli.

Patrons can meet the character behind the voice, and hear some of her wonderful songs in Beloved Katie, written by Jamie Moffat and performed by narrator Julie Houghton, mezzo-soprano Karen van Spall, soprano Suzanne Shakespeare and piano accompanist Isaac Mouskovias.

The performance concludes with a Devonshire Tea after the show, included in the ticket price.

It is all happening on Saturday July 23 at 2pm, Diamond Creek Uniting Church, Wensley St, Diamond Creek. Tickets are $20 or $15 concession, and can be booked by ringing Graham on 0419 361 487 or emailing gford@bigpond.net.au . Tickets are also available at the door on the day of performance.

This will be a musical exploration of an iconic voice who left the world too soon but lives on through her wonderful recordings.

Her research for the Frank Van Straten Fellowship will result in The GLAD Project, an exploration into the often secreted queer lives of performance artists.

"One of the initial inspirations was a reference to the pink and mauve flower posies that used to be thrown down to the stage at Gladys Moncrieff’s performance by her fans – the ‘gallery girls’," says Bailey.

"There are queer stories and queer icons across the full breadth of the Australian Performing Arts Collection and through the starting point of Gladys Moncrieff, Elsie and her Gallery Girls, this project is an opportunity to further bring out and highlight these queer lives and connections, and to open up the Collection for broader discovery."

The project will result in a multifaceted creative work with an online exhibition, physical installation as well as a performative element. The work is expected to be presented around June 2023 in line with Pride Month and the Stonewall Anniversary.

"A broader outcome of The GLAD Project is a better recognition of the lived experiences of queer lives and queer stories in collections, and to better reference these lives in an historic context," says Bailey.

The fellowship is made possible through the generous contribution of the Frank Van Straten and Adrian Turley Foundation. Frank played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Australian Performing Arts Collection in the late 1970s and was the founding director and first archivist of what was then the Performing Arts Museum.Arts Centre Melbourne has been the proud custodian of the Collection since its creation in the early 1980s.

Today the Australian Performing Arts Collection is the nation’s leading collection of performing arts materials, documenting Australia’s circus, dance, music, opera and theatre heritage. It consists of over 750,000 objects including costumes, designs, programs, photographs, posters, props, personal memorabilia and archival material.

Gertrude St Projection Festival ■ The much-loved Gertrude Street Projection Festival is back for its 14th year presenting thoughtful and considered artworks from selected artists.

Proudly presented by The Centre for Projection Art,the Festival will again illuminate street facing windows and walls of public and private spaces of the inner-north, over four wintery nights from July 28 – 31.

This year’s festival will extend beyond Gertrude Street, into the community that call Fitzroy and Collingwood home.

GSPF 2022 grounds itself in conversations and storytelling from the local community, in unapologetic, intimate and sensitive displays of care, inviting audiences to celebrate and explore relationships with themselves and others.

The theme for 2022 is ‘A Soft Pulse’, which started from and continues to centralise curator Eleanor Scicchitano’s curatorial interest in notions of care.

Eleanor says: “A Soft Pulse will light Gertrude Street with stories of care, vulnerability and tenderness.

I’m excited to be working with the artists to explore care as a form of healing and resistance, creating spaces along the street to reflect on how we support and hold each other.

The community and history of Gertrude Street are so important and it’s wonderful to be working on the festival alongside them.”

Cultivating different points of connection, A Soft Pulse invites the audience into the private artistic worlds of the artists including: Edwina Green, Henry Wolff, Samuel James, Josef Gatti, Anna Schwann, Corrie Wright, Billy Raffin, Anne Wagner and many more.

In 2022 the Festival is inviting attendees into their new home at the Collingwood Yards. Audience members can look forward to contemporary projection artworks along Gertrude Street after sunset and a public program that responds to the Festival theme.

GSPF’s opening night will be held on Thursday July 28 at the Atherton Gardens in partnership with Yalinguth.

Rourke’s Reviews Petite Maman

■ (PG). 74 minutes. Now available on DVD. Using every second of its compact running time to beautiful effect, this gentle but moving drama delicately details the loss of a family member, but seen through the eyes of a young child, who deals with that loss in a particularly unique way.

The movie opens with Nelly (Josephine Sanz) saying goodbye to a number of elderly residents at an aged care centre, whose rooms were located near her late grandmother’s.

Travelling with her mother, Marion (Nina Meurisse), while her father (Stephane Varupenne) drives in a separate vehicle towing a storage trailer, the family make their way to Marion’s childhood home in the country, where she can go through everything and decide what to keep.

As the two adults go through this process, Nelly explores the woods Marion did as a child, and discovers a fort her mother made, but also meets another young girl who must live in the area (Gabrielle Sanz).

The girl introduces herself as Marion, and invites Nelly back to her home, but when that home is the same one she had left earlier, the term ‘time travel’ comes to mind.

Writer/director Celine Sciamma follows up her critically acclaimed Portrait Of A Lady On Fire with a wholly engaging effort, which quietly works its way to a satisfying, heartwarming conclusion, never once wallowing in cheap sentiment or nostalgia.

Sciamma brilliantly looks at how a major family tragedy can open the mind of a child, becoming aware of not only what the loss means, but also the detailed stitching that connects past, present and future.

The time travel scenario is a clever set-up to examine what makes a family history, and how mindsets, ambitions, and personal behaviour is influenced from one generation to the next.

The two girls are exceptional, while the adult performers offer fine support.

Petite Maman is a magnificently sweet film, filled with moments of insight and genuine tenderness, and is definitely must-see viewing.

RATING - ****½

Escape From Mogadishu

■ (MA). 121 minutes. Now available on DVD. Though artistic licence has been taken with some of the story’s finer details, and the film-makers not

being allowed to film in the title city prevents the film from utilising Somali locations and actors, Escape From Mogadishu still makes for involving and exciting viewing.

After some explanatory crawl detailing why they are there, the film opens in 1990, where South Korean ambassador Han Shinsung (Kim Yoon-seok) and his diplomatic colleagues, including Jeong Man-sik (Gong Soo-cheol), are trying to persuade African members to vote in favour of South Korea joining the UN. Newly arriving on the scene is agent-turned-councillor Kang Daejin (Zo In-sung), unimpressed of being demoted to such a position.

Also in Mogadishu is the North Korean delegation, lead by Rim Yong-soo (Heo Jun-ho), who will stop at nothing to try and prevent their southern enemies from successfully joining the UN. Matters suddenly take a turn for the worse when civil war breaks out, as rebels try to oust the country’s corrupt dictator, President Barre.

With the situation becoming more and more dangerous and violent, the South and North Koreans will have to team up if they want to have any chance of escaping the growing conflict.

Despite the story changes (the way the two sides end up sheltering together has been considerably altered, to name one example), and the inability to shoot in the country of origin (the production was completed in Morocco, just in time before worldwide restrictions were put in place due to the pandemic), writer/director Ryoo Seung-wan (City Of Violence, The Berlin File, Veteran) manages to tell a riveting tale, combining drama, thrills, action, even humour, to masterful effect.

Ryoo cleverly uses the civil unrest in Mogadishu to criticise the long-running hostilities between North and South Korea, and some of the best moments come from when people who have been taught to hate each other all their lives, suddenly feeling awkward when confronted by the real human faces behind the propaganda.

Ryoo again is blessed with a great cast, and everyone delivers very strong work.

The director is renowned for his well-staged action sequences, and this is no exception, with a number of brutal street scenes involving government forces and the enraged rebels.

The highlight however is an incredible car chase late in proceedings, which is brilliantly executed and absolutely heart pounding.

■ Jack Benny was one of the world's most loved comedians during the 20th Century. Jack developed a wonderful character on radio, television and also in films.

He used running gags throughout his showbusiness career with superb comic timing - the "penny pinching" miser, the vain playboy and the "would be" violinist.

Benjamin Kubelsky was born in 1894 in Chicago, Illinois, to Jewish parents who had emigrated from Europe.

By the time he was 17 he was playing his violin in local vaudeville shows.

He joined the Navy during World War I and returned to showbusiness after the war ended.

In 1921 he was working as a comedian and began to use the stage name of ‘Jack Benny’.

Around this time, he met Sadie Marks who became a part of his stage act and they married in 1927.

The couple adopted a daughter. Sadie Marks later used the stage name of ‘Mary Livingston’.

Jack was cast in one of the early talking films, The Hollywood Revue of 1929, which featured many of the popular film stars including Laurel and Hardy.

His next film was a flop and Jack was released from his film contract.

In 1932 Jack Benny began his radio show which was to become one of the most popular programs in America.

There were a group of regular performers

Jack Benny

including his wife Mary Livingston, Eddie Rochester Anderson, Phil Harris and Dennis Day. Jack used the popular song Love in Bloom as his theme music for the radio show.

Another running gag was his age - he celebrated his 39th birthday 41 times.

His television series began in 1950 and ran for 15 years. He got one of the longest laughs in history in the sketch where he is confronted by a robber with a pistol who says, "Your Money or your life?" - the laughs went on and on until the robber asked, "Well?"- another period of laughter till Jack replied, "I'm thinking it over!"

His films included Buck Benny Rides Again, Charlie's Aunt, Love Thy Neighbour, George

● Jack Benny Washington Slept Here and the film that he always "sent up" in comedy sketches - The Horn Blows at Midnight.

When he began to do his Las Vegas stage shows my cousin Diana Trask worked with him.

Diana recalls in her autobiography that Jack loved the comedian George Burns and he would fall down on the ground laughing at his jokes.

George suggested to Jack that they go to Jeanette Mc Donald's opening night and said, "Wouldn't it be funny if, when Miss McDonald began to sing we both burst out laughing." Jack agreed to go along with the joke.

They were seated in the front row on opening

night and when Jeanette McDonald began to sing Jack broke into hysterical laughter whilst the deadpanned George Burns sat there smoking his cigar, shrugging his shoulders and telling nearby audience members, "I don't know what's wrong with him."

Jack Benny toured Australia in 1964 with Johnny O'Keefe and appeared at the Comedy Theatre.

Diana Trask was there when Jack blew out the candles on his 70th birthday cake.

At the time of his death in 1974 he was going to make the film The Sunshine Boys and the role was taken over by his longtime friend George Burns.

At his funeral service George Burns was too upset to make it through the eulogy. Bob Hope took over and said, "For a man who was the undisputed master of comedy timing, you would have to say this is the only time when Jack Benny's timing was all wrong. He left us much too soon."

The mean character was not true, this wonderful comedian was very generous and he is sadly missed.

Exhibition at the Arts House Bruce Munro at Heide

■ Heide Museum of Modern Art presents Bruce Munro: From Sunrise Road, the first museum exhibition in Australia of the work of internationally celebrated English/Australian artist Bruce Munro, best known for his interactive, large-scale light installations inspired largely by his interest in shared human experience.

Presented unmtil October 16, the exhibition combines spectacular indoor and outdoor experiential artworks with intimate storypieces, revealing the depth of the artist’s practice and the breadth of his sources, from the personal and philosophical to the literary and spiritual.

Situated across Heide’s main galleries and sculpture park, the exhibition will present more than 20 key indoor works and an immersive outdoor light installation designed specifically for the site that will activate Heide’s iconic parklands at night.

For the first time the museum will extend its opening hours until 8pm from Thursday to Saturday throughout the exhibition for visitors to experience Munro’s outdoor artwork after dark.

Munro’s outdoor installation in the Heide gardens, titled Candent Spring, stems from his celebrated Field of Light at Uluru in Central Australia.

At its heart is the stunning work Time and Again, a convex arrangement of abstracted clock faces, or stainless-steel waterlilies scored with codes and patterns symbolising past, present, future, infinity, and the speed of light: in essence a translation of time into a visual diagram.

Evoking a time machine, the gleaming dome marks time during the day through the passing of clouds and sky, while at night the lilies shimmer like radial starbursts. The work is surrounded by large clusters of ‘fireflies’, cascading optical fibre forms that visitors can walk through.

■ And she was wearing trousers: a call to our heroines is s a new exhibition exploring the hope, loss, love and determination of African heroines through a series of new commissions by artists from the African continent and African diaspora in Australia.

The exhibition features works of collage, installations, video, art, music and typography. It is based on archives sourced from independent publishers, oral histories, government held archives and the internet.

The new works reflect on the often-forgotten heroines of Southern Africa, including Brenda Fasse, Dorothy Masuka, Krotoa, Thenjiwe Lesabe and Queen Lozikeyi.

Exhibition closes August 6.

Stateside with Gavin Wood in West Hollywood

Film industry alive in Hollywood

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

Out and About

Aussie directors on the spot

■ It’s a meeting of the film directors from Australia who have taken up residence at 940 Westmount which is part of the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites complex.

Managing Director of the Ramada, Alan Johnson, said, “I am so happy to support these creative souls in the effort to get a movie project up and running. The suites at the Ramada are the perfect location for this creative adventure.”

Film Director Fred Schepisi has taken up residence along with Antony J. Bowman who is married to Muriel’s Wedding star Jeanie Drynan and completing the trio is Director Rod Hardy who has moved back into West Hollywood.

Pictured at Modeo Italian Restaurant in West Hollywood, are Ramada M.D. Alan Johnson with Aussie film director Rod Hardy.

Top job available

■ If you can’t make it as an actor in Hollywood you might consider being a life guard. Who knew that LA lifeguards who work in the sun, ocean surf, and golden sands of California could reap such unbelievable financial reward?

In 2019, top-paid lifeguards made up to $392,000. Unfortunately, today, the pay and benefits are even more lucrative.

Daniel Douglas was the most highly paid and earned $510,283, an increase from $442,712 in 2020. As the “lifeguard captain”, he out-earned 1,000 of his peers: salary ($150,054), perks ($28,661), benefits ($85,508), and a whopping $246,060 in overtime pay.

The second highest paid, lifeguard chief Fernando Boiteux, pulled down $463,517 – up from $393,137 last year. Auditors at OpenTheBooks.com found 98 LA lifeguards earned at least $200,000 including benefits last year, and 20 made between $300,000 and $510,283. Some 37 lifeguards made between $50,000 and $247,000 in overtime alone.

Pick-up your take-away

■ Ordering takeout tonight? It might be a good idea to go pick it up yourself. A new survey finds eight in 10 food delivery workers admit to eating part of their customer’s order.

According to the poll of more than 500 delivery drivers, commissioned by Circuit Route Planner, stealing a customer’s fries or putting their sticky fingers on someone’s chicken may not even be the most disgusting thing happening on the way to the front door.

One in four drivers confess that they’ve hooked up with someone in their vehicle. One in 10 have urinated on or near a customer’s home. Another 10 per cent say they’ve had to urinate in a bottle while making their deliveries.

More than a quarter (27 per cent) add they’ve had some “lessthan-professional” conversations with the people they deliver goods to. Other actions some drivers admit to that are sure to infuriate consumers include intentionally damaging packages (23 per cent), stealing packages (17 per cent), and opening and then resealing packages (17 per cent).

Largest history still open

■ If octogenarian COVID-19 czar Anthony Fauci ever decides to retire, he should have plenty of income to enjoy what’s left of his golden years.

The doctor will be making at least $350,000 per year after he leaves his job as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health.

Fauci could have retired in 2005 but stayed in his job, which is now paying $434,312 a year, the highest of any federal employee, including President Joe Biden.

■ New York City’s Federal Reserve Bank has the largest gold storage in the world. The vault is 80 feet below street level and contains $90 billion in gold.

■ Following George Floyd’s murder, US police departments are training officers to intervene when they see misconduct by colleagues ■ Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia says he still has symptoms, two years after his COVID infection.

Blueberries vs dementia

■ Researchers from the University of Cincinnati have found that a half-cup of blueberries can keep middle-aged adults from developing dementia as they get older. Moreover, the study finds adding the fruit to your diet lowers insulin levels and improves metabolic function making it easier to burn fat for energy.

It’s worth noting that the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council of Folsom, California, provided the funding for this research. Although blueberries are fairly similar to other berries and plants like red cabbage, study author Robert Krikorian notes this superfood contains high levels of micronutrients and antioxidants called anthocyanins. These give blueberries their classic colour while defending the fruit against excess radiation exposure, plant viruses, and other potential threats.

Pets not kids

■ A new poll reveals seven in 10 young adults in Gen Z would rather adopt a pet than have their own children. Gen Z adults aren’t the only ones choosing pets over people; millennials are as well. In a survey of 1000 pet owners, commissioned by Consumer Affairs, researchers found that 57 per cent of millennials love their pet more than their own sibling. Half of them said the same thing about their mother and 30 per cent chose a pet over their significant other. Overall, 81 per cent of millennial pet owners say they love their pet more than at least one family member more than baby boomers (77 per cent) or Generation X respondents (76 per cent). Interestingly, cat owners (85 per cent) were ■ If you are considering a move to Los Angeles or just coming slightly more likely to choose their pet over a relative than dog over for a holiday then I have got a special deal for you. owners (83 per cent).

■ New York has fully reopened after the strict restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic but migration from the Empire State to Florida has accelerated this year, according to new data.

A total of 21,546 New Yorkers swapped their driver’s licenses for the Sunshine State version during the first four months of this year a 12 per cent increase from the same period in 2021.

The 2022 totals are 55 per cent higher than the first four months of the last pre-pandemic year of 2019.

Mayor Eric Adams has speculated that the Florida exodus would wane and that some evacuees would return once the city reopened. But the end of COVID-19 restrictions and the return of full-time schooling have so far failed to stem the outward tide to cities like Miami, Palm Beach and Jacksonville, according to data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety.

A total of 61,728 New York state residents switched to Florida licensces last year a figure that will be surpassed in 2022 if current trends persist.

Financially embrassed

■ Two-thirds of Americans are trying to keep their financial struggles a secret. A recent survey of 2000 US adults found that 66 per centhave avoided social events because they’ve felt embarrassed or uncomfortable about their financial situation.

Some respondents say they’ve steered clear of birthday parties (33 per cent), weddings (32 per cent), happy hours (31 per cent), and networking events (31 per cent).

Recent increases in gas prices and inflation have left 56 per cent feeling “extremely” or “noticeably” more stressed.

Conducted by One Poll on behalf of Beyond Finance for Mental Health Awareness Month, the survey also found that 67 per cent engage in “stress shopping” when feeling financially overwhelmed and end up buying things they don’t need.

Tax collected

■ The US Federal Government collected a record $2,985,636,000,000 in total taxes in the first seven months of fiscal 2022 (October through April) Statement.

Before this year, the most taxes the federal government had ever collected in the first seven months of a fiscal year was fiscal 2021, when it collected $2,320,127,490,000 in constant April 2022 dollars.

In April alone, the Treasury collected $863,649,000,000 in taxes. That was $388,192,260,000 more than the $475,456,740,000 (in constant April 2022 dollars) that the Treasury collected in taxes last April.

US economy contracts

■ The American economy is contracting: The economy shrank by 1.4 per cent this past quarter. Causes cited: supply chain issues, rampant inflation, China’s zero-COVID policies, Russia’s invasion, you name it.

The Federal Reserve can’t do much since they have to hike interest rates even more to reign in that runaway inflation. At Burbank Airport two eggs and toast cost $20.

Tra Mi Dinh wins Keir Award

■ The Keir Foundation, Australia Council for the Arts and Dancehouse, together with presenting partner Carriageworks, has announced Tra Mi Dinh as the recipient of the $50,000 Keir Choreographic Award for 2022 – Australia’s most prestigious choreographic award.

Jenni Large was selected as the recipient of the $10,000 Peoples Choice Award.

The artist’s work The ___ explores the duality and complexity of endings in a duet caught between harsh and slippery edges.

Two dancers oscillate through shifting scenes that challenge the finality of “endings” and what it means for something to come to a close.

In their attempts to navigate the interchanging framework that shapes each experience against the next, multiple timelines converge to show that while some endings are final, others linger.

Tra Mi Dinh is a dance artist and emerging choreographer interested in movement that is surprising, absurd, rhythmic and presentational.

As a dancer she’s worked with artists and companies including Lucy Guerin Inc., Chunky Move, Victoria Chiu and Michelle Heaven.

Her choreography has been supported through residencies at Tasdance’s On the Island Program, SydneyFringe’sArtinIsolation, Critical Path and March Dance.

Her current choreographic curiosities lie at the “edge” of things – blurring the lines between random and deliberate, significance and insignificance.

Dinh graduated from the Victorian College of theArts in 2014 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Dance).

The recipient of the Peoples Choice Award is Jenni Large, for her work Wet Hard. In Wet Hard two women smear across an otherworldly landscape in nuanced union, balancing atop eight-inch heels.

They slyly navigate the instability and innuendo of the pedestals underfoot, subverting expectation and toying with the viewer in a display of strength and focus.

Their bodies melt and solidify, unaffected by interruptions from sound and light. Wet Hard references the sculptural virtuosity of erotic dance forms and aerobics in an exposed and empowered use of movement, costume, sound and light. An exploration of the effort required to disrupt the limits and expectations placed upon female bodies.

Jenni Large is a contemporary dance artist, performer, choreographer, teacher and rehearsal director working across Australia, based on the lands of the palawa people in lutruwita/Tasmania. Large has performed extensively both nationally and internationally across independent and company environments, including as a formative

member of Dancenorth with Kyle Page and Amber Haines, Leigh Warren and Dancers, Legs on the Wall and GUTS Dance.

Currently a creative associate at Tasdance, Large’s practice is grounded in her passion for working in regional settings. She is driven by the personal and political potency of embodiment, locating the body as a site for play and transformation.

Eight artists and collectives were selected to take part in the biennial award, dedicated to the commissioning, presentation, promotion and dissemination of new Australian choreography. The selected artists were: Alan Schacher and WeiZen Ho, Alice Will Caroline, Jenni Large, Joshua Pether, Lucky Lartey, Raghav Handa, Rebecca Jensen and Tra Mi Dinh.

An esteemed jury of international dance leaders were tasked with the responsibility of selecting the recipient of the 2022 Keir Choreographic Award, which included Daniel Riley (Australia), Eko Supriyanto (Indonesia), Laurie Uprichard (Ireland), Lemi Ponifasio (New Zealand), and Nanako Nakajima (Japan). For the first time, Carriageworks and Dancehouse presented all eight works over a two-week season, featuring two presentations of four works each in a rotating program.

Keir Choreographic Award Founder Phillip Keir said: “Congratulations to Tra Mi Dinh for her

work The ___ as the winner of the 2022 Keir Choreographic Award.

In a strong field of other works, this exciting duet explored the idea of endings and aptly displayed Tra Mi's talents as choreographer, performer and director. I'm excited that this years' prize has been awarded to a gifted young artist and we hope the KCA will be transformative for her. We're excited to see more from Tra Mi.” Australia Council CEO Adrian Collette said: “Congratulations to Tra Mi Dinh and all the talented participating artists who showcased their work as part of the fifth edition of the Keir Choreographic Award. The Australia Council is delighted to once again be a part of this important partnership and in supporting the development of diverse choreographic work in Australia.”

Dancehouse CEO and Artistic Director Josh Wright said: "My congratulations to all the artists in this years' Keir Choreographic Award. It's been a delight to see a range of choreographic ideas and investigations from eight unique and talented choreographic voices.

We have seen the largest audience for the KCA in 2022 evidencing interest and passion for Australian independent dance artists. My congratulations to Peoples Choice Award winner Jenni Large for her provocative piece Wet Hard who delighted spectators with a slippery and innervating duet performed on 8-inch platform heels.”

Sport

Winter racing starts at Charlton

■ Winter racing commenced the week at Charlton on Monday July 4 in bright sunshine which continued throughout the afternoon.

It was the annual American Independence Day fixture held in association with The Meadowlands in New Jersey and a most competitive meeting it was.

■ Local Charlton owner/breeder/trainer John Tormey was victorious in taking the ‘Stars and Strips’ 3Y0 & Older Maiden Trotters Mobile over 2100 metres with Brother Joseph, a Father Patrick-Wicked Schemes gelding.

Driven by daughter Ellen, Brother Joseph from the pole was beaten for speed by Lady Be Lucky (gate three) which led.

Enjoying a cosy trip, Brother Joseph was angled into the clear on the final bend and ran home stylishly to register a 7.3 metre margin in advance of Stellar Strut (four back the markers) which flashed late, Daisy Bouchea (three back the markers) was third 1.4 metres away.

The mile rate 2-03.9.

■ The Charlton Training Centre provided the quinella in the Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment Pace over 2100 metres when the Greg Norman trained 4Y0 Bettors Delight-Our Strawberry Miss gelding Strawberry Delight defeated Shane Sanderson’s heavily supported Cutty Sark by 1.9 metres in a 2-00.7 mile rate.

Driven by Kerryn Manning, Strawberry Delight raced exposed from gate three keeping the gate five leader Cutty Sark (Ryan Sanderson) honest for most of the race.

In a two horse war prior to the final bend, Strawberry Delight was relentless going to the wire, proving to be the better stayer. Atego Shades was third 5.5 metres away off a midfield passage.

■ Ellen Tormey snared a double on the day after a classical front of the field drive from the pole aboard Sebastian trainer Kylie Linsell’s 4Y0 Heston Blue Chip-Sunrose Mary gelding Heston Cash in the 2100 metre Tab Long May We Play Pace.

Rated to perfection. Heston Cash scored by 1.4 metres from Carload along the sprint lane from three back the markers. Timely Sovereign (one/one – three wide home turn) was third 1.6 metres away. The rate 1-57.7.

■ Astute Kyabram trainer Mick Blackmore and stable reinsman James Herbertson combined to land the USA and Charlton Partnership Trotters Handicap over 2100 metres with 4Y0 Love You-Yankee Princess gelding Yankee Lover. Stepping safely from 10 metres to settle three pegs as polemarker Christmas Babe defied a challenge from 20 metre backmarker Madeakillin which began at 100 miles an hour, Yankee Lover was eased away from the markers to lead up the outside division in the final circuit and dashed clear on the final bend with the race in his keeping to greet the judge by 3.1 metres over Madeakillin which had every opportunity to run him down. Night Whisperer (five back the markers) ran home late for third albeit 22.4 metres away. The mile rate 2-03.6.

■ Ararat’s Michael Bellman is in full swing after resuming driving and highly promising Love You-Sundons Pride 4Y0 mare Tictok bred and raced by Gary Hull was an impressive victor of the 2100 metre Vale Terry ‘Ripper’ Calnin Trotters Mobile.

Despite racing in the open from gate five, Bellman knew Tictok’s capabilities and applied pressure to the leader Waikare Maxwell a long way from home. Given full rein on turning, Tictok responded in style to register a 3.2 metre margin in 2-01.4 over Waikare Maxwell who wouldn’t give in without a fight. The Girls Gotflair (one/one) was third 9 metres back.

■ Heathcote trainer/driver Glenn Bull’s team have been in devasting form of late and 4Y0 Captain Treacherous-Vansumic gelding Treacheroustimes was outstanding in winning the Thank You Tim Tetrick Pace over 1609 metres.

Settling mid-field in the moving line from the extreme draw as Mark Boyle’s Gotonebettor led from the pole, Treacheroustimes after angling three wide in the last lap produced a dynamic burst of speed to race clear on turning and score by 5.4 metres from White Star Village along the sprint lane from three markers, with Gotonebettor holding down third a nose away. The rate 1-57.8.

Harness Racing

flashing home late from a mile back for third 2.6 metres back. The mile rate 1-59.6.

■ Melton training duo Josh Dickie and Sammy Kilgour’s smart Art Major-Christian Dreamer gelding Power Up led throughout from gate six in the 2190 metre Laurie Comican 3Y0 Pace.

Driven by Josh, Power Up travelled beautifully throughout to score and although getting tired over the closing stages, had a half neck to spare from Aliza Hill which trailed and Le Sparticus (one/one) who was 11 metres back third. The mile rate 2-01.9.

Ararat advantage

len-baker@ bigpond.com

with Len Baker Former ace reinsman Daryl Douglas was victorious aboard Bolinda trainer Vince Vallelonga’s Four Starzzz Shark-Torridon 4Y0 gelding Four Star Saint in the Tim Tetrick Charlton USA Ambassador Pace over 2100 metres.

Bred and raced by Swan Hill’s Noel Watson, Four Star Saint led from the pole with Douglas content to hold the horse back to the field for most of the journey.

When Caesarion after trailing eased off his back on the home turn to challenge, Four Star Saint under vigorous driving rallied to prevail by a head in 1-59.5. Outsider Yoursnmine (three markers) used the sprint lane for third 9.9 metres away.

Driven by son

■ Shepparton raced on Tuesday and Wahring trainer Rosemarie Weidenbach’s team usually race well at their home track and 5Y0 Village Jolt-Romantic Impulse mare Stylish In Black was successful in the Lindsay Hutchins Maiden Pace over 1690 metres.

Driven by son Kevin, Stylish In Black from the pole was given the run of the race trailing the leader Nananellie which went forward from gate four to lead.

Easing off the inside to follow Waitingnoruns outside the leader on the final bend which dashed away shortly after, Stylish In Black was able to blouse him by a nose in a tricky finish. Olly Odd Potts used the sprint lane from three back the markers for third 5.4 metres back. The mile rate 1-57.4.

■ Tatura trainer Russ Thomson snared the 1690 metre Ann O’Donoghgue Trotters Mobile with Prettylilangus, a 6Y0 Angus HallPrettylilangeleyes mare who was dropping in grade considerably.

Driven by Josh Aiken, Prettylilangus despite a couple of checks kept on trotting to enjoy a one/one trip as polemarker Cmon Carl Lee led before galloping on the home turn allowing Aristotle to dash clear after racing in the open.

Giving chase on turning, Prettylilangus nabbed Aristotle in the last couple of strides to gain the day by a neck in a rate of 2-02.9. Yoee after trailing the winner and using the sprint lane was third 3.6 metres back.

■ Longlea part-owner/trainer Glenn Sharp’s evergreen 9Y0 Tennotrump-Delta Spark mare Mystic Chip chalked up her 14th victory in 165 outings when saluting the judge in the Eric Wilson Trotters Mobile over 2190 metres.

With regular driver Monique Burnett in the sulky, Mystic Chip (gate five) three back the markers – one/one last lap – three wide home turn ran home like a youngster to register a runaway 20.6 metre margin over the leader Could Dowitharain returning a rate of 2-04.2. Dances after racing uncovered was third 3.4 metres away.

■ What a money making machine Elmore owner/trainer Matthew Higgins’ 7Y0 Mister BigNova Arama mare Lil Nova has been, winning her 9th race (17 placings) in 88 starts by taking the Pam Wilson Pace over 2190 metres at Supertab odds of $26, but fixed odds of $41.

With Chris Alford handling the reins, Lilnova enjoyed a charmed trip from gate two trailing Dallas Nikolay inside her which led. Using the sprint lane, Lilnova nailed Dallas Nikolay by a half head in a tricky finish, with Ashford Secret

■ Another Ararat day meeting was held on Wednesday as the lighting has yet to be installed and Western District runners were prominent during the afternoon.

It was a great day for Colac’s Courtney Slater with a double – Crimes Of A Lady in the Mountain View Stud 2Y0 Pace and Victree Hill the Visit Ararat Trotters Handicap. Crimes Of A Lady, a home bred daughter of Always B Miki and Our Crime Of Passion once again recorded a most impressive victory.

Again driven by Glen Craven, Crimes Of A Lady was taken back to the tail of the field from inside the second line as the well backed Miss Bay King Cole led from gate three.

Moving to be three back in the last lap, Crimes Of A Lady made ground rapidly approaching the home turn and although wide on the final bend, motored to the wire to record an easy 8.4 metre margin over Miss Bay King Cole in a mile rate of 2-00.7. Chynchilla which trailed the pacemaker was third 7.3 metres away.

■ Five year old Trixton-Sweet Pretense gelding Victree Hill was a big winner of his race for the Slater/Craven combination.

Starting from 20 metres, Victree Hill spent most of the race five back in the moving line as Di Li led from barrier two.

Preview of the Golden Rose Stakes

■ It’s time to have a look at the coveted, Golden Rose Stakes for three-year olds, to be run at Rosehill on Saturday September 24.

Running over some of those in early betting before nominations, there are smart ones noted.

The Golden Slipper winner, the smart Fireburn, has been made the early top pick, after her brilliant win in the Golden Slipper back in March.

That victory took her to four wins from her only four outings. Prepared by top Warwick Farm trainer, Gary Portelli, she is by the former top sprinter, Rebel Dane, out of Mull Over, and is smart.

On the second line is another good one in, Best of Bordeaux, who ran a good second behind Fireburn in the Slipper. Going into the Slipper, he too was unbeaten.

Also nicely bred being by leading sire, Snitzel, out of Chateau Cheva, and came after putting two together at Rosehill in February and March.

She is prepared by Kacy Fogden, a young trainer hailing from Canungra, a young lady going places in Queensland.

On the next line is another good filly in Paris Dior, being by the former Golden Slipper winner, in the good Pierro.

Pierro was prepared by Gai Waterhouse throughout his racing career, and was one of the best going around. Plus, he has produced some top young ones at stud.

Paris Dior showed her class with an outstanding win in the Percy Sykes Stakes at Randwick back on April 9 over 1200 metres, making it two wins from her four starts, and two seconds.

Another of the Gary Portelli team in Sejardan, is good on his day having won two of his first three starts.

Another well bred colt by yet another Golden Slipper winner in Sebring.

He was well supported in the Slipper, but got into a bit of trouble in the middle and final stages of the race, to finish just behind the placegetters.

The stable has a high opinion of the colt and would be worthwhile giving him another chance.

One to keep your eye on is the James Cummings horse, She’s Extreme, being by the boom Victorian sire, Extreme Choice, a Blue Diamond Stakes winner.

She won the Magic Night Stakes in Canberra back in February, but like all these will possibly need another run at least.

The Magic Millions two- year-old winner, Coolangatta, who ran a good third in the Golden Slipper, can improve immensely on that run.

She is in the strong camp of Ciaron Maher and David Eustace, and they certainly know what it is all about.

You can’t leave her out, but with the race a couple of months away it is a wait and see situation.

Yet another smart one is the Chris Wallertrained, Political Debate, who ran a good second behind Sheeza Belter in the time honoured J.J.Atkins at Eagle Farm on June 11.

Political Debate is by the former top galloper, So You Think, a Cox Plate winner, with a win two seconds and a third from only his five starts.

As mentioned earlier, another smart one is Sheeza Bolter.

Thanks from Ted

● Jacquinot.Racing Photos.

She is good on her day and you have to give her another chance if she goes around in this.

Magic, prepared by the Hawkes team in Sydney, is good on his day, and although he missed a place in the Sires, he is better than that. A smart stable is a great help.

The Anthony and Sam Freedman galloper, Duamier, a winner of the Blue Diamond at Caulfield ran a good fourth in the Inglis Sires recently behind Fireburn and won’t be far away here.

Of the others the favourite in the Blue Diamond, Jacquinot ran well there, running a good fifth, and could be among the money here.

Prepared by Mick Price and Michael Kent Junior, he is smart on his day by the former flying machine, Robrick. But he is inclined to get back off the pace, but if he could be there at the 200, he will be right in it.

Ted Ryan

■ Over the past few months, I unfortunately have had problems with my back due to sporting injuries.

But the good Lord has come to my aid through a nice young lady named Mikaela Vanderzee, who happens to be the exercise physiologist with the Maroondah Osteopathy company near where I live.

Mikaela took me under her wing for five private lessons, to try and remedy the situation. I can tell you after five weeks, I am a new man, working through a number of exercises from, your balance upwards and all- over, a good solid lesson each time.

I can gladly say that after that period I feel really great, and it was well worth the time, now I am into using the latex strap for my back and legs, and weights for my chest muscles. I thoroughly recommend it.

Thank you sincerely Mikaela for leaving me with all the exercises to continue on.

Bad luck for trainer

■ One of Victoria’s most popular trainers is coming off after a bad fall off, would you believe, his push-bike.

The likwable Troy Corstens took a bad tumble down the banks of the Yarra River.

Only recently he went for a ride along the Yarra with some friends on his health kick, which he started recently.

I contacted his father, Leon, who told me that he locked up on a slippery surface on the river bank, and his wheels locked up.

As Leon said the way bikes are made these days, they are very brittle, and not much protection, built more for speed not so much comfort.

He sustained serious injuries and was in a sorry state when they finally got him to hospital.
