Loop vital to Monash ■ The Suburban Rail Loop is important to the City of Monash’s future, said a Council representative. “The Suburban Rail Loop will be a gamechanger for Monash’s connection to the rest of Melbourne, and this transformational project has the support of Council. “Planning Overlays like SCO14 and SCO15 are typical controls for a major infrastructure project,” said the Council in a response to The Australian Financial Review. “SCO14 directly facilitates construction of the loop infrastructure and rightly makes the Minister for Planning the Responsible Authority for administration and enforcement of the project. “SCO15 makes the SRLA a determining referral authority for land along the loop corridor but leaves the planning process with Council.

“Based on the information available, we anticipate that approximately 1000 (SCO14) and 2000 (SCO15) properties are covered by each overlay. “Of more concern is the likely transfer of planning authority powers from Council to the Suburban Rail Loop Authority for precinct planning within a 1.6km radius around SRL stations. “We’re seeking clarity on the likely extent of these precincts in Monash and how Council will be able to provide input. “Given the size of those proposed station precinct areas and the absence of clarity, we have serious concerns about the potential for negative impacts on our local neighbourhoods. “Local input on these decisions is crucial,” said the statement attributed to Cr Stuart James.

His government also promises to invest $960,000 to continue the Wildlife Emergency Support Network.

Whitehorse to axe home support

● Heidi Victoria at Flemington Former Bayswater MLA Heidi Victoria is raising funds for the Stroke Foundation’s Stride4Stroke. “I had a stroke 2½ years ago, and I'm on a mission to help prevent others from going through the same. You're never too young or old to have a stroke. Sadly, one-in-six people will have a stroke in their lifetime.”

● Neil Angus, Forest Hill MLA The State Coalition will commit $400,000 to construct an onsite carpark for Livingstone Primary School in Vermont South. Long-standing carparking issues and concerns for pedestrian and staff safety around the school precinct have been ignored by the Andrews Labor Government, despite pleas from the school community and local Liberal Member, Neil Angus. With 735 students and more than 70 staff, LPS and its bustling school community deserve carparking infrastructure that accommodates its needs and provides safe access for its students, staff and parents.fare of students, teachers and families in mind, but it has fallen on deaf ears.”

■ Whitehorse City Council has decided to not renew its contract to provide services under the Commonwealth Home Support Program and Home Care Program. This funds Council’s delivery of services which includes domestic assistance, personal care, flexible respite, home maintenanceand modifications, allied health, social support, delivered meals and transport. The Council will also not renew its contract to provide services under the Regional Assessment Service, Home and Community Care Program for Young People programs, or home care packages. The Council says it will establish a new role delivering positive ageing services for all older people in Whitehorse. Whiotehorse Council says the decision took into account that it currently subsidises these services by $5 million per year, and that the risk and costs for Whitehorse is likely to increase significantly under a new Federal Government model. The Council says that it noted that there are other reputable providers serving the community, who are better positioned to operate sustainably in a competitive market.

5000 caught in Cup blitz ■ More than 5000 offences were detected by Victoria Police during Operation Furlong over the Melbourne Cup long weekend, despite widespread wet weather. The five-day, statewide road policing operation saw Police targeting high-risk driving behaviour, with a particular focus on speeding, impaired driving, and distraction. Concerningly, one in every 295 motorists tested were detected for drink driving offences, which is a significant increase on last month’s strike rate over the AFL Grand Final long weekend where one in every 536 motorists were detected for drink driving. There were also a further 187 motorists who were caught drug driving. A total of 5433 traffic offences were detected during the operation, with almost 40 per cent of those for speeding. There were also 232 mobile phone offences detected, and automatic number plate recognition technology caught 433 motorists for driving whilst disqualified, suspended or unlicensed. Three lives were lost on Victorian roads during the long weekend operation, including two motorcyclist fatalities in Wandong, and a 24-year-old male driver in Bundoora on Monday, bringing the total number of lives lost to 210 – 26 higher than last year and well above the five-year average of 192.

Phantom sparkles

● Maree Barnett in Curtain Up! ■ Peridot Theatre presents the comedy Curtain Up! from November 10 - 20 at the Clayton Theatrette, Cooke St , Clayton. Written by Peter Quilter and directed by Tony Bird, Curtain Up! tells of five women who inherit equal shares in a dilapidated theatre and plan to bring it back to life again. They try various fund-raising schemes but their most ambitious is to hold a concert featuring local talent and a world-famous star who agrees to appear for no fee!

Melbournewide

● The Melbourne Observer is contained in all 40 areas covered by The Local Paper network.

■ It was opening night last week of the new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera. The Arts Centre Melbourne foyer sparkled as celebrities and everyday theatregoers chatted in excited pre-show anticipation. Presented by Opera Australia in association with The Really Useful Group, The Phantom of the Opera has arrived from Sydney to wow Melbourne audiences until February 5. A brilliantly staged, spectacular show unfolded in this new 'fresh look' version, overseen by Matthew Bourne and Cameron Mackintosh, and directed by Seth Sklar-Heyn. The show's stars, Josh Piterman (The Phantom), Amy Manford (Christine Daaé) and Blake Bowden (Raoul) are exquisite in their roles. Triple threat Manford's glorious bell-like singing voice blends beautifully with the rich vocal tones of Piterman and Bowden. Terrific performances are also enjoyed from Giuseppina Grech as fading opera singer Carlotta Giudicelli, commanding the stage with her powerful voice; Jayde Westaby (the knowing Madame Giry), delightful Mietta White (young ballerina Meg Giry), David Whitney (Monsieur Firman) and Andy Morton (Monsieur André) as the hapless new opera house managers, and Paul Tabone (Ubaldo Piangi). The talented ensemble includes a ballet chorus which executes Scott Ambler's pacey choreography with razor-sharp precision. Special mention should be made of Troy Sussman's (Auctioneer) performance. A roller coaster of moods ensues as settings move seamlessly from sumptuous colour with superb, lavish costumes, to the foreboding, grey desolation of the underground labyrinth and graveyard settings. The acutely timed, unexpected pyrotechnic effects combine with the fabulous lighting to enhance the visual spectacle. Also imperative to this show's success is the magnificent orchestra, and of course ... the 'new look' incredibly awesome chandelier. Each audience member will have their own interpretation of this 'new look' Phantom of the Opera. For me, the original version drew sympathy for the Phantom's character, but in this version, he seemed a persistent menace. But one thing is for sure, for the ultimate, magical theatre experience, don't miss this show over summer. Performance Season: Until February 5 Venue: Arts Centre Melbourne, 100 St Kilda Road. Duration: Approx. 2 hrs. 30 mins. including one interval. Recommended for ages 10+: Includes themes of violence and horror. Parental guidance suggested. - Review by Cheryl Threadgold

Cenarth’s new book

■ Congratulations to Melbourne author/playwright Cenarth Fox who has just published his latest book titled The Miracle Railway. The first in Cenarth's Stationmaster Miracle series, The Miracle Railway tells of Englishman George Miracle, and a railway man's life in 1910. Born in London, England, 1898, George starts work in 1910 as a station lad (the lowest of the low) at what was then one of the biggest and busiest railway stations in the world - Liverpool Street in London. Readers follow George for over 50 years, as he rises to lad porter, then porter, before he is conscripted. He survives the Great War, although a German soldier gave him a permanent reminder of his time in a French trench. Back on the rail he meets passengers, including a West End producer, and is arrested for murder when a Lord is killed in a Hampstead mansion. (He gets about a bit, does George!) He moves to a small station where the even smaller branch line is due for the chop. As the youngest station master in England, he faces the sack for fraud, falls madly in love, and deals

● Josh Piterman (The Phantom) in Cameron Mackintosh's new production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera. Photo: Daniel Boud with a crazy murder plot and an armed robbery. George loves his job and deals with interesting characters. Cenarth says he has thoroughly researched the times, places and nature of the railways, and also combined with the history, is a tale of family resilience and love.

Darling Boy

■ A sell out season and it deserved it as the standing applause attested to the calibre of Rupert Bevan’s solo performance. As part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival, one of many offerings at the Butterfly Club, this work written by Bevan didn’t disappoint. The loneliness of a young gay 20-year-old is with us continually as he reflects and opens up that he is somewhat a failure with relationships, starting with his first love and experience as a 16-year-old, with someone he meets up with again only to be disappointed on how that person has changed. Leaving home after his formative years of difficulty in relating to and even talking with his father as well as meaningful interaction with his mother, sets 'Darling Boy' into the domains of the queer community and all of that, involving gay bars, clubs, seedy saunas (as he put it) and the possibility of one-night stands and casual sex. It is raw and revealing as to his fantasies of sexual encounters and almost succeeding, but only to find that they aren’t what he expected and he really questions that should he be part of the queer community. His frankness in writing the work is most refreshing, while his delivery is momentous, overpoweringly energetic with all the inflictions, gesticulations, not to mention suppleness of body in demonstrating to us his gay persona. It is thought provoking and those struggling with their sexual identity would find some meaning with this work. Full credit to Producer Matthew Hardy, Director Lucy Rosen and of course Rupert Bevan. - Review by Graeme McCoubrie

● Jessie Inglis sings The Ballad of Jim Darcy in Legends of the Skies Series 10. ■ Moorabbin Air Museum's Casey Hangar transformed into an intimate, atmospheric performance space for Legends of the Skies,Series Ten. Under the artistic direction of Maggie Morrison, the cast and crew of LOTS Theatre triumphed over Melbourne's chilly, windy weather, to erect scaffolding and lights and present fascinating stories about Australian aviation. Patrons were greeted on arrival by a welcoming fire centrestage, and the rich, deep sounds of didgeridoos played by Ray Higgins and Peter Funke, and tapping sticks softly played by Colin Prossor. A wonderful variety of Australian aviators were acknowledged, including Gaby Kenard, the first Australian woman to circumnavigate the globe by airplane, Squadron Leader Douglas Leckie and the first Aboriginal Australian military aviator, Len Waters. The stories of Jim Darcy, the Flying Dressmaker Eileen Steenson, who learnt dressmaking to fund her aviation dreams, then flew commercial flights in and out of dangerous airports, Moorabbin pioneer aviator Harry Hawker, aviator Sidney Cotton who worked for the British Secret Intelligence Service as a civilian, were also brought to life by by the spirited, talented LOTS ensemble. It was great to see young actors Taj Jepson, DanielAdkinsand Jamie McCallister presenting confident, lively performances. Adult actors included Karen Schnider, Kerrie Hollier, Alison Knight, DamienVuleta, David Dodd, Jessie Inglis, Anne Arnold, Annalei Warren, Chris Kirby, Jessie Inglis, Jemma Gay and Abigail Arculus. Some lovely, articulate and expressive performances were enjoyed from this versatile ensemble. Guitar-playing Graeme Hanks and Colin Prossor's ukulele accompaniment topped off a fun, interesting theatre experience. Special congratulations to Graeme Hanks for achieving effective lighting design in a non-theatrical venue, and to 14 year old Sam Withington for first-class work with lighting and sound operation. Bravo to Maggie Morrison and her team for ensuring these precious stories about Australian aviators continue to be told through live performance. LOTS Theatre can be followed on Facebook. - Cheryl Threadgold

Cheryl at Dramus

■ It was a great pleasure to travel to the beautiful town of Hamilton in south-western Victoria, to speak to members of the Hamilton U3A about the history and culture of local theatre in communities. The hall where the talk was presented was decorated by a superb floral arrangement from the garden of Mrs Lesley Hobbs, and it was delightful to meet members of Hamilton U3A and hear their various stories. In the evening, Ewen Cameron, Life Member and President of Hamilton's local theatre company, Dramus Theatre, kindly conducted a tour of the Hadden Theatre, the venue for Dramus productions. A season of Clutching at Straws had just finished, and the bright pink-walled set remained onstage, ready to welcome a community singalong event at the weekend. Dramus Theatre originated in Hamilton in 1972. The name 'Dramus' came about when the town's drama and music groups merged, having earlier formed in the late 1950s. One company was strong in expertise, while the other was financially strong, so it made sense to combine assets and talents into one group. The company's current performance venue, formerly the Railways Institute, is named Hadden Theatre as a tribute to company cofounder Bill Hadden, who organised entertainment for fellow soldier prisoners-of-war in a Changi prison camp during World War II. Ewen Cameron has been President of Dramus Theatre for 18 years, and his dedicated passion and pride for the theatre group shines through. Sadly, Dramus Theatre Life Member Anne Littlechild, who had kindly organised my visit to Hamilton, passed away last year. Anne would be delighted to know her fine work at the theatre is being carried on by company members. Country towns such as Hamilton are fortunate to have active, well-run theatre companies such as Dramus Theatre, to not only provide a creative outlet for performers and behind the scenes workers, but also to offer affordable and accessible theatre for local residents. - Cheryl Threadgold

Rat Pack Reloaded

■ Rat Pack Reloaded comes to Palms at Crown Melbourne on Saturday, November 12.

Rat Pack Reloaded aims to recreate the sound of the Big Band era, with iconic hits included from the 50s through to today such as New York, New York, My Way, Feeling Good, It Had Better Be Tonight, Swan, That's Amore and Fly Me to the Moon. The show stars David Malek, Martin Crewes and Zoy Frangos with their eight-piece live swinging band. Performance Date: Saturday, November 12 Venue: Palms at Crown Melbourne.

Red Stitch launch

■ As a launch, Red Stitch’s introduction to its 2023 was also a celebration of its 21 years providing performances, and an insight into the artistic culture it has promoted and delivered in that time. Guest speaker and playwright, Joanna Murray-Smith, provided an insight into the role Red Stitch plays in Australian performance with comparisons to the world stage where she has had her plays performed. Red Stitch matches and even surpasses many of them with its emphasis on performers and challenging drama. The troupe’s emphasis on actors and stage craft belie the humbleness of the performance space and minimalist trappings. Rather, it emphasises the skill of the artists. The first three plays of the ’23 season exemplify the representative nature of this company,

● Cheryl Threadgold admires the Hadden Theatre's spacious stage. Photo: Malcolm Threadgold where contemporary works are promoted that touch on salient themes and new voices. Wittenoom by MaryAnne Butler tackles the legacy of a blue asbestos mining town. The name of the town can no longer be identified on the Western Australian highway where it is located. Selling Kabul by Sylvia Khoury was nominated for a Pulitzer. This will be the Australian premier touching on the tragic consequences of the American withdrawal from Afghanistan. The third is Emily Sheehan’s play, Monument, which is a new play exploring perceptions of women in the political arena. How much will a newly elected woman tell her makeup artist before she appears in public as the countries youngest elected leader? Taking out a subscription will entitle one preferential access to performances and first hand information about the coming season. Wittenoom (Jan 25 – Feb 19), Selling Kabul (April 22 – May 21) and Monument (Aug 9 – Sept 3) will be complemented by further offerings to be announced in the coming year. A season's ticket is more than just access to the plays, it is a declaration in support of a theatre company committed to finding new voices, discovering and nurturing performers and presenting challenging ideas for consideration. - David McLean

Secret Expedition

■ Cracked Actors Theatre have brought to the stage the winner of the Cracked Actors Theatre in Education Award from its Summer Reading of 2021. Secret Expedition is a venture into absurd comedy, written and directed by Eddy Burger. The play is set in a private club where five spies meet incognito. All are armed and potentially dangerous, but surreal comedy takes over and unpredictability prevails. The actors bringing this script to life are to be congratulated for their energetic and entertaining portrayal of their varied characters. Nicola De Rosbo-Davies (Spy 3) set the tone of the show in a ‘Pink Panther’ sleuth style introduction. Joanna Bakker (Spy 1) showed great comedic timing combined with wonderful facial expressions and a strong stage presence. The mock fight between Conagh Punch (Spy 2) and Richard Mealey (Spy 4) was a highlight. This was a cross between the Three Stooges and the classic slow-motion action hero fight. Conagh and Richard performed well, displaying their acting and comic experience. Bethany Simmons (Spy 5) had a curiously interesting character who sang some of her dialogue to add to the absurdity of her delivery. She seemed far too comfortable trying to torture one of her fellow cast members, with hilarious effect. The actors managed to allow the comedy of the dialogue work for them, by portraying a fairly realistic perspective of their characters. The music choices suited the action throughout and lighting was well structured by Lighting Designer, Liam Jones. Production Designer, Sarah Yeung and her production team created a simple set, with a line of five chairs interspersed with two old fashioned telephones and other props effortlessly manoeuvred by the cast.

Observations James Norbury

● James Norbury ■ Fans of James Norbury’s Big Panda and Little Dragon will be delighted that their latest adventures have been chronicled in Norbury’s latest book entitled The Journey. Norbury, a cat lover and volunteer for the UK crisis line Samaritans, combines his skills as an artist with his Buddhist philosophy to create a deceptively simple book that reflects our human existence and the challenges we face and the joy that is in the world, if only we look for it. In The Journey, friends Big Panda and Tiny Dragon are on another discovery mission to find out where they should be at this time of their lives. There are many setbacks but Big Panda’s quiet wisdom and reassurance to his little friend ensure their survival and greater understanding of who they are and where their lives are meant to be. The journey has simple text and beautiful illustrations on each page by artist Norbury. But don’t make the mistake of thinking this is a book for children. While it would be enjoyed by the ankle biters, the deeper messages and guidance in the book are squarely aimed at an adult audience. There is a particular quote that will resonate with many readers, when Big Panda says to Little Dragon, “It’s natural to be scared … fear will not stop you from dying but it may stop you from living.” And Norbury himself has some wisdom to impart in his after word, where he writes “It is my sincere hope that this story speaks to your heart, and if you find some of Tiny Dragon’s story relatable, you might find some solace in the idea that change, albeit a little scary, is possible, and with patience, can lead to better things.” That sounds like a good message for everyone. The Journey by James Norbury is published by Penguin Random House and is out now. Julie Houghton

Mousetrap cast named ■ The cast for the 70th Anniversary Australian production of Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap has been announced before the production commences its season at the Comedy Theatre, Melbourne from February 17. International theatre star Anna O’Byrne (My Fair Lady, Love Never Dies) will play Mollie Ralston, the young owner of Monkswell Manor, a Victorian era estate that has recently been converted into a guest house. Helpmann Award winner Alex Rathgeber (Anything Goes, The Phantom of the Opera) will play Giles Ralston, Mollie’s husband of one year. Laurence Boxhall (As You Like It, Jumpy) will be Christopher Wren, a flighty and neurotic young guest at Monkswell Manor. As the seriously unpleasant retired magistrate Mrs Boyle, Geraldine Turner (Present Laughter, Don's Party) returns to the stage, alongside Adam Murphy (Shakespeare in Love, Aladdin) as retired British military officer Major Metcalf. In her professional stage debut, Charlotte Friels will play Miss Casewell, who remains mysteriously aloof from the other guests. As Mr Paravicini, an unexpected guest at Monkswell Manor, will be the legendary Gerry Connolly (Cyrano de Bergerac, The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui) while Belvoir favourite Tom Conroy (Jasper Jones, My Brilliant Career) will play Detective Sergeant Trotter. Jack Bannister (Romeo and Juliet, Lysa and The Freeborn Dames), Elisa Colla (My Fair Lady, Wicked) and Chris Parker (Daylight Savings, The Club) complete the cast as standbys. The Mousetrap will be directed by Australian theatre icon Robyn Nevin. Costume design and associate set design is by Isabel Hudson, and lighting design by Trudy Dalgleish. “I’m thrilled with the stellar cast that director Robyn Nevin has assembled for this new production of an enduring and much-loved murder mystery,” said John Frost. “I’m also delighted with the overwhelmingly positive response to the news that The Mousetrap will be playing in Sydney, so I’m extremely glad to bring the show to Brisbane and Melbourne as well, celebrating its 70th anniversary. Will you solve the mystery and pick the murderer?” The Mousetrap had its world premiere on October 6, 1952, at the Theatre Royal, Nottingham. After a brief tour, it opened in London’s West End on November 25, 1952 at the Ambassadors Theatre, where it ran until March 23, 1974. It immediately transferred to the larger St Martin's Theatre next door, where it continues to this day. The longest-running West End show, it has by far the longest run of

any play anywhere in the world, with over 28,500 performances so far. The play has a twist ending, which the audience are traditionally asked not to reveal after leaving the theatre. Agatha Christie originally wrote the story as a short radio play entitled Three Blind Mice, which was broadcast in 1947 as a birthday present for Queen Mary. She eventually adapted the work into a short story before again rewriting it for the stage as The Mousetrap. Ironically, Christie did not expect the play to run for more than a few months and stipulated that no film of The Mousetrap be made until at least six months after the West End Production closed. Seventy years on, as the show continues its historic London run, a film adaptation looks unlikely at this stage. Venue: Comedy Theatre, Melbourne Season: From February 17. themousetrap.com.au - Cheryl Threadgold

Music For Souls

■ Music to Gladden the Soul is an excellent title for a concert of calming classical music. But in the case of the aptly named concert coming up at the end of November, there is a serious message behind the title. Music to Gladden the Soul is the brainchild of Melbourne musician David Ross-Smith, who has been staging yearly concerts to raise funds for Uniting Agewell’s important program. This program, named as a tribute to David Ross-Smith’s late partner, aims to use music to help and calm people suffering from dementia.

Strasso is back

■ International comedy star David Strassman is returning to Melbourne with his show, The Chocolate Diet, performing at the Athenaeum Theatre from November 15-20. The Chocolate Diet is a hilarious look at our obsession with sweets and lollies, a send up of our failed diets, and Ted E. Bare's drama with his selfimage and addiction to chocolate. The problem is getting worse, especially with the sneaky and evil Chuck Wood leaving tempting donuts around. Meanwhile, Chuck has his own amusing personal drama, a sneaking suspicion that he was carved out of the wrong piece of wood. Strassman is a tour de force in the world of ventriloquism. From London to New York, Strassman’s comic genius has shocked, surprised and made audiences laugh the world over. Just Google and YouTube his name and you will see his immense body of comedy shows and twisted videos. Strassman said: “I love making audiences laugh and this new show, The Chocolate Diet, is probably my funniest to date. It’s also quite delicious, and watch out, it’s fattening too!” David Strassman will also be partnering with the HeartKids to hold a fundraiser and live auction after his hilarious new show, The Chocolate Diet, on Tuesday November 15, with 50 per centof all proceeds going to the organisation. David is a proud ambassador for HeartKids, the only national not-forprofit solely focused on supporting and advocating for all people impacted by childhood heart disease. - Contributed

Storytelling winners

■ The ABC and VicHealth have announced the 28 winners of this year’s Takeover Melbourne storytelling competition. The competition, now in its third year, will showcase the brightest young storytellers from across the city. Hundreds of young Melburnians, from the Mornington Peninsula to Wyndham, took up the challenge of sharing their stories, which this year include connecting to culture through traditional death rites; discussing the experience of being a first-generation migrant; coming out as asexual; and coming to terms with the loss of a loved one. Their stories feature crochet kings and keen cooks, ice skaters, pianists and Kuchipudi dancers.

Rourke’s Reviews Cabinet of Curiosities

■ (MA). Eight episodes. Now streaming on Netflix. This lavishly produced series created, co-produced and presented by Oscar winning director Guillermo del Toro (The Devil’s Backbone, Pan’s Labyrinth, Pacific Rim, The Shape Of Water), is a watchable but ultimately disappointing concoction that surprisingly lacks genuine innovation and imagination. Episode 1, titled Lot 36 (**½), and directed by Guillermo Navarro (del Toro’s regular cinematographer) sees a bitter ex-vet (wellplayed by Tim Blake Nelson) purchase the storage locker of a strange old man who has recently died, and is in for a surprise of what it contains. There is a rich premise here to explore the human horrors of the past, and how in the world of Trump, these horrors are on the brink of being unleashed again, but it unfortunately pushes this to the side for more formulaic scares, not to mention a very abrupt ending. Also features Elpidia Carrillo (Under Fire, Predator, Nine Lives). Episode 2, The Graveyard Rats (*½), from Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Splice), is probably the worst of the bunch. The set-up promises a clever parallel between grave robbing of the past with the growing desperation of what low income people, being increasingly left behind by corporate and political greed, are forced to do to survive today. Natali however seems unaware of the metaphor, creating a completely empty viewing experience (much like his feature film work), and amazingly makes the shortest episode feel like the longest. Has a few similarities to the segment They’re Creeping Up On You from George A. Romero’s excellent 1982 film, Creepshow. Episode 3, The Autopsy (***), from David Prior (The Empty Man), about a smaUS town that seems to be slowly affected by an alien presence, is entertaining, measured, and features a very good performance from F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus, Scarface), but one wishes it hit the bullseye a little more. Episode 4, The Outside (***), by Ana Lily Amirpour (A Girl Walks HomeAloneAt Night, Mona Lisa And The Blood Moon) is an over-the-top look at image and identity, especially the way women are pressured to look and act in society. Amusingly executed, and Amirpour again shows visually and tonally what a fan she is of Terry Gilliam, but like The Autopsy,

doesn’t quite hit a home run. Episode 5, Pickman’s Model (**), by Keith Thomas (The Vigil), is an initially interesting but ultimately dull adaptation of a H.P. Lovecraft story about a successful artist whose chance meeting with the mysterious Pickman (a brilliantly cast Crispin Glover) leads to confusion and madness. Flat and lifeless, and Thomas again lets the material get away from him (his recent remake of Firestarter was truly terrible). Episode 6, Dreams In The Witch House (*½), by Catherine Hardwicke (Twilight, Thirteen) takes another Lovecraft tale and incredibly makes it even less interesting than the previous entry, not helped by an awful, one-note performance from Rupert Grint (Harry Potter). Story was previously made in 2005 for the Masters Of Horror TV series, directed by Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond), and was a far better (and more faithful) adaptation. Episode 7, The Viewing (***), helmed by Panos Cosmatos (Mandy, Beyond The Black Rainbow) is definitely one of the better episodes, and Cosmatos enthusiastically continues with his retrostyled, surrealistic and psychedelic approach to his material. Though not as good as the director’s feature films, this is still good fun, with Cosmatos embracing his love for 70’s genre cinema. Episode 8, The Murmuring (****), directed by Jennifer Kent (The Babadook, The Nightingale), is easily the best of the bunch, an intensely haunting examination of loss, guilt and trauma. Features strong performances from Essie Davis (The Babadook, Nitram) and Andrew Lincoln (The Walking Dead, Love Actually), plus some nice references to Alfred Hitchcock’s classic, The Birds. What is so unexpected of this highly anticipated series, given del Toro’s major involvement in the project (he even co-wrote the first episode) is how most of the writing is just too conventional, making many of the episodes feel like standard anthology fare. A number of the episodes too, with their short story origins, don’t quite deserve such extended running times. Guillermo del Toro also hand-picked the eight directors, making some of the choices odd indeed, and contributes to the show’s wildly uneven nature. Del Toro himself introduces each episode in Rod Serling/Alfred Hitchcock fashion, but strangely lacks a distinctive presence like the former, and the wonderful black humour of the latter. One can see that lots of money has gone into this series, but despite a couple of enjoyable episodes, and one genuinely good one, the results regrettably don’t altogether equal the huge investment made.

■ I was watching an old MGM musical on cable television and I became fascinated with a little character actor named Charles Winninger. He is the type you see in the old films but never really know his name. The film was Ziegfeld Girl and he played the father of Judy Garland’s character. I thought it might be nice to write a piece about him - so here we go. Charles J. Winninger was born in Athens, Wisconsin, in 1884. He left school at the age of eight to tour with his parent's vaudeville family act which was called Winninger Family Concert Co. Upon his parents' retirement, he and his five brothers went off to play in various stock and repertory companies. Charles Winninger honed his skills in vaudeville. At the age of 28 he appeared in his first Broadway show The Yankee Girl at the Harald Street Theatre. His specialty was musicals and he directed two during his career. His Broadway productions included The Cohan Revue of 1916, The Cohan Revue of 1918, The Passing Show of 1919, Ziegfeld Follies of 1920, No, No, Nanette, Oh, Please and Yes, Yes, Yvette. He created the role of ‘Captain Andy Hawks’ in the original stage production of Show Boat in 1927. Whilst performing on Broadway he also starred in silent films.

Whatever Happened To ... Charles Winninger

By Kevin Trask of 3AW and 96.5 Inner FM

One of his early sound films in 1930 was Soup to Nuts where he co-starred with The Three Stooges. In 1936, he played Captain Andy in the film version of Showboat and starred opposite Irene Dunne, Allan Jones, Helen Morgan, Hattie McDaniel and Paul Robeson. I think this is the best film version of the Broadway show. This film established Charles as a character actor and he appeared in some outstanding films such as Three Smart Girls, Nothing Sacred and Destry Rides Again. ● Charles Winninger Charles teamed with Judy Garland for three in that film Charles does a comedy song and films: Babes in Arms, Little Nellie Kelly and dance act with Al Shean and they sing the old Ziegfeld Girl. vaudeville song Mr Gallagher and Mr Shean. As I mentioned, I watched Ziegfeld Girl and Charles was married twice during his life

time and although he never had children himself Charles was generally cast as a grumpy father in films. He played ‘Abel Frake’ who was the father of Jeanne Crain and Dick Haymes in the Rogers and Hammerstein musical film State Fair. This was the only Rogers and Hammerstein musical written specifically for a film. Charles played his only leading role in the film The Sun Shines Bright in 1953. He was a guest in an episode of the television series I Love Lucy in which he played an old vaudevillian partner of Fred Mertz(William Frawley). In the show the two, who once billed themselves as ‘Mertz and Kurtz’ sing: Oh By Jingo and IWant a Girl Just Like the Girl Who Married Dear Old Dad. He also joins the entire cast for a musical revue at Ricky's Tropicana Club, where the songs included On the Boardwalk to Atlantic City, By the Beautiful Sea and I Found a Peach on the Beach. His final film was Raymie in 1960. Charles Winninger passed away in 1969 at the age of 84 after a long illness.

Tony stages solo debut after 20 years

Remark – Tony Albert In a career spanning almost 20 years, Tony has won numerous awards and garnered critical acclaim, both nationally and on the world stage. For his Melbourne solo debut Tony presents Remark – an expansion on his acclaimed Conversations with Margaret Preston series, part of an ongoing investigation into the appropriation of indigenous Australian iconography in domestic design and decoration. In this latest collection of paintings, works on paper, and text-based works, Tony draws on vintage fabrics from his extensive collection of ‘Aboriginalia’ to critically engage with this iconography in his own right, recasting the people and cultural materials depicted in his finished works, and releasing them from their racist caricatures. Comprising ventage fabrics and a vast assortment of kitsch objects and images featuring racist portrayals of Aboriginal people and cultural materials, Albert’s ‘Aboriginalia’ collection was started in his childhood and is the foundation that he has returned to again and again, in artistically interrogating the contemporary legacies of colonialism. Exhibition closes Saturday, December 10. Sullivan + Strumpf 107 Rupert St, Collingwood

London’s music halls at the zoo, on the city streets and in formal life in his drawing classes. Presenting a surprising counterpoint to the artist’s celebrated abstracted landscape painting, these drawings reveal Williams’s early aspirations to be a figure painter. This early commitment to drawing and painting the human figure is less known to the public and reveals Williams’s extraordinary observational skills and ability to capture the world around him. Williams left Melbourne for London in December 1951 and there he turned to observing people in particular performers at music halls, workers going about their business, passerby in the streets, models in life classes at the Chelsea Polytechnic and artist friends and fellow students. The most important group of works is the large sequence of London’s music halls, which were areas of popular entertainment frequented by the workers and middle classes. Williams sketched the performers on stage: jugglers, acrobats, vaudeville performers, singer, dancers. A further highlight is a group of drawings completed at the London Zoo. These large sequences of drawings show Williams’s skill in dealing with he forms of exotic creatures – big cats, elephants and giraffes – and in drawing moving subjects. The exhibition will close on January 29.

Legend dies in accident

Providence payments

■ Leslie Jordan, the actor, comedian and musician known for his roles in Will & Grace and American Horror Story and for his uplifting pandemic Instagram videos, died after a car crash last week in Hollywood. Jordan, 67, won an Emmy in 2006 for his performance as the snide Beverley Leslie in the hit TV show Will & Grace. His co-stars were among the many who paid tribute on social media. Jordan was behind the wheel of a BMW when he crashed into the side of a building at Cahuenga Boulevard and Romaine Street at 9.30 a.m, Los Angeles Police Department advised. The longtime actor and writer was declared dead at the scene. Leslie had just brought his first apartment in West Hollywood and was happy and excited to own property at 67 years old. A good heart and soul, he will be missed. Pictured in happier times earlier this year at his favourite Kitchen 24 out front of the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites on Santa Monica Boulevard. West Hollywood is Ramada Managing Director Alan Johnson with the now departed Leslie Jordan.

Mid-life crisis

● Alan Johnson with Leslie Jordan

■ In popular culture the midlife crisis is fodder for comedy, personified by the 40-something guy who suddenly hankers to sky dive or buy a convertible. In scientific circles the midlife crisis is sometimes said not to exist at all: “Epidemiological study of psychological distress in adulthood does not suggest that midlife is a time of out-of-the-ordinary distress,” said an article in 2000 in the journal Motivation and Emotion. But new research says that midlife crises are very real and nothing to be laughed at. “Something elemental appears to be going wrong in the middle of many of our citizens’ lives,” says a working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Tough teacher

■ New York University organic chemistry professor Maitland Jones was fired after students petitioned the school with claims that his class was too difficult. According to a report from The New York Times, Jones – who taught at Princeton University for decades and wrote a bestselling textbook on his subject – maintained a rigorous course that his students, many of whom are pursuing medical careers, considered a weed-out class. After 82 of his 350 pupils signed a petition against him earlier this spring, university deans cancelled his teaching contract, which he had previously renewed on a yearly basis. Marc Walters, who directs New York University’s undergraduate chemistry department, explained in an email to Jones that the school would let students retroactively withdraw from his class as a “gentle but firm hand to the students and those who pay the tuition bills” an apparent reference to parents.

Robberies up 20%

■ Thefts and robberies in major cities increased by around 20 per cent in the first half of 2022, after falling or plateauing the previous two years, the Council on Criminal Justice found. Several factors explain the increases, experts said. A big one is inflation. America’s last major crime wave, from the 1960s through the early 90s, happened alongside a rise in inflation for much of the same time period. That likely was not a coincidence, said Richard Rosenfeld, whose research has linked crime and inflation. How can inflation lead to more crime? For one, there is a direct link: People might try to get around higher prices by stealing. But a bigger dynamic is also at play, Rosenfeld said: Higher prices can push people to seek cheaper and potentially stolen goods at markets, such as pawn shops. These purchases effectively boost demand for stolen goods, enticing more thieves and robbers. In 2022, inflation does not seem to be leading to more shootings and murders a sign that the other forces, like the receding of COVID, may be even stronger. Inflation is obviously not the only cause of the increase in property crimes. As COVID has eased, people are spending more time outside their homes and in more situations where they can be stolen from or robbed, said Anna Harvey, a public safety researcher at New York University. And in response to the spikes in murders and shootings, the Police may have shifted resources away from nonviolent crimes, allowing more of those offences to happen unchecked.

Old gemes released

■ Some of this year’s big video game releases are years, if not more than a decade, old. Blizzard recently rereleased World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, which first came out in 2008. The game’s servers are so packed that some players have had to wait hours to sign on. Sometimes the games are identical to their past versions; others get graphical and gameplay updates. More are on the way, including Resident Evil 4 and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The rereleases are part of a broader entertainment industry trend banking on nostalgia. As Imad Khan wrote in The Times: “Nostalgia has always been a powerful source of revenue for Hollywood. Turns out, it’s equally lucrative for video games.”

Don’t worry, be happy

■ Being unhappy or experiencing loneliness accelerates the aging process more than smoking, according to new research. An international team says unhappiness damages the body’s biological clock, increasing the risk for Alzheimer’s, diabetes, heart disease, and other illnesses. The team reports that they detected aging acceleration among people with a history of stroke, liver and lung diseases, smoking, and in people with a vulnerable mental state. Interestingly, feeling hopeless, unhappy, and lonely displayed a connection to increasing a patient’s biological age more than the harmful impact of smoking.

■ With the help of a consulting firm, the Providence hospital system trained staff to wring money out of patients, even those eligible for free care. In 2018, senior executives at one of the country’s largest nonprofit hospital chains, Providence, were frustrated. They were spending hundreds of millions of dollars providing free health care to patients. It was eating into their bottom line. The executives, led by Providence’s chief financial officer at the time, devised a solution: a program called Rev-Up. Rev-Up provided Providence’s employees with a detailed playbook for wringing money out of patients – even those who were supposed to receive free care because of their low incomes, a New York Times investigation found. In training materials, members of the hospital staff were instructed how to approach patients and pressure them to pay. “Ask every patient, every time,” the materials said. Instead of using “weak” phrases like “Would you mind paying?” –employees were told to ask how patients wanted to pay. Soliciting money “is part of your role. It’s not an option.” I

■ New York, California and Illinois lost thousands of “rich young professionals” who fled the Democrat-run states for low-tax havens like Texas and Florida, according to a study. The study conducted by Smart Asset of workers under the age of 35 who earn $100,000 per year cited inflow and outflow of young professionals by gleaning information from Internal Revenue Service data, including tax returns from 2019 and 2020. New York had the largest net outflow of young professionals 15,788, the study found. A whopping 28,741 moved out, while 12,953 moved to the state. California saw the second-highest net outflow of young professionals. In 2019 and 2020, 20,568 young professionals moved to the state, but 28,528 left, according to the Smart Asset study, making for a net outflow of 7960. Illinois has also been haemorrhaging under-35 workers, the study found. The Prairie State lost 9386 young professionals while gaining just 6527 a net outflow of 2859. Several large companies have recently announced they were moving their headquarters out of Chicago, citing soaring levels of crime. Massachusetts also experienced a significant net outflow. The Bay State lost 8160 young professionals while just 6290 moved in, resulting in a net outflow of 1870.

Shortlist for Les Carlyon Award

■ The Australian War Memorial has announced shortlisted finalists for the Les Carlyon Literary Prize. “The impacts of war have been a strong theme this year, particularly in works dealing with recent conflicts in the Middle East,” Australian War Memorial Head of Military History, Dr Karl James, said. “The subject matter ranges from frontier violence to recent conflicts.

Track beat the internationals

■ The internationals failed to flatter in the Melbourne Cup with the damp track putting paid to their chances. The favourite Deauville Legend ,according to his rider, Kerryn Mc Evoy, had every chance, but the 3200 metres and maybe the track a little soft, didn’t help. He is a Northern Hemisphere bred horse, and actually just over three, and was asked to carry the steadier of 55 kilos, but the last 1000 metres got him. Craig Williams on the Gai WaterhouseAdrian Bott trained international, Hoo Ya Mal, said that he tried too hard and wanted to go hard all the way. He was far too aggressive, and pulled like a steam train. Without A Fight, according to his rider, England’s number one rider, William Buick, said he didn’t get through the ground and was gone a long way from home. “I went for him at the 800 metre mark, but there was nothing there.” Cammora, with the Hayes team, put in a shocker. His rider, Ben Melham, said he was under pressure with a 1000 metres to run, and just ran out of puff to finish second last. You can’t go past the winner, Gold Trip, going back to his time last year, he was one of the favourites to win the Cox Plate, but was taken out with an injury. Going into the Cup on Tuesday, he had run a big race to just get nutted on the line in the Caulfield Cup, then he couldn’t get a run in the Cox Plate. Then he added another 3200 metres to his legs in the Melbourne Cup and was just too good. It was a magnificent rid by Mark Zahra, who settled him well in the run after drawing barrier 14. Overall, with the Caulfield Cup, the Cox Plate and the Cup, he covered 7640 metres in under a month, to win the prestigious trophy. Now that is a good effort, and a great training feat by the young trainers, Ciaron Maher and David Eustace. You have to give the second and third horses a big wrap. Emissary, a recent winner of the Geelong Cup, after a number of ordinary runs was a good effort, and a pat on the back for leading Flemington trainer Mike Moroney, who won the Melbourne Cup back in 2000 with Brew. However, it was costly for his rider, Patrick Moloney, who got hit with a $20,000 fine and a 15-meeting suspension. Moloney was found to have caused serious interference to Duais at the 600 metre mark. He was charged with moving out sharply on Emissary, causing interference to Duais. Stewards sanctioned Damien Thornton, rider of the fifth-placed horse, Realm of Flowers, and fined him $4000 for excessive whipping. Daniel Moor, who rode Daqiansweet Junior who ran sixth, was fined $2000, for also exceeding the use of the whip limit. Blake Shinn received 11 meetings and Damian Lane seven, were suspended for careless riding and a whip breach respectively in other races. Punters had a bit of a bad day not only some

stallion, Mastercraftsman, and is out of the mare, Playwithmyheart, from Great Britian. He has only had the five starts, three of those have been in Australia. Winning at Rosehill, and Caulfield before, he won easily at Flemington. He absolutely blitzed them in the run home winning easily, to remain undefeated from his five starts.

Simply the best

● Top racecaller Matt Hill. Racing Photos. Francesca Cumani, Glenn Boss and Michelle Payne. Bossy was the real winner, a must for future racing telecasts, at least he knows what he is talking about. One thing I felt that stood out was the super imposing of the jockey’s colours on the screen to show their positions in the run. As usual, race commentator Matty Hill was spot on with spectacular calls of each and every event, especially in tricky conditions. Away from the Cup, one of the highlights of the day was in an earlier race, the Macca’s Run, over 2800 metres. A stunning grey horse by the name of White Marlin was sent out a short- priced favourite on the back of his outstanding form especially on wet tracks. The Irish import, a five-year-old, by the Irish

Ted Ryan

■ Australia’s leading race commentator, Matty Hill, was at his best again with his Melbourne Cup Call, excelling himself higher each time. Since the Carnivals started with Caulfield in late September, we have had to put up with pretty fickle weather, wind, rain, and storms, but Matty, has done a great job in the circumstances. But as Matty said, it is one of the occupational hazards that one who wants to commentate you have to grin and bear it. Not only does he excel, in horse race calling, but he has been to the top at the Olympic Games and AFL football calling. It hasn’t been easy as his mother, a lovely person, hasn’t been well, and he been busy looking after her. He is right up there with the best of our callers, Bert Bryant, Bill Collins, John Russell, Ray Benson, Joe Brown, Ken Howard and Darren Flindell. He was recently voted in to be President of the Victorian Racing MediaAssociation But he takes it all in his stride, and a terrific young bloke. Keep the great calling going Matty, all the best in your career, I am proud to be a friend. - Ted Ryan

9-card event at Horsham

■ Wimmera racing commenced the week on Monday October 24 when the progressive Horsham Harness Racing Club staged a nine event card. ■ Hamilton reinswoman Jackie Barker took the honours for the day after driving a double with five year old Roll With Joe-Mama Tambu mare She Will Wantano victorious in the TAB / VHRC Pace over 2200 metres. Trained at Heywood by Bec East, She Will Wantano from gate four settled outside the well supported Jilliby Roy inside her. Racing past the pacemaker in the last lap, She Will Wantano gave plenty in the straight to defy her stablemate Eastbro Adele (one/one) who tried valiantly by a metre, with Lavra Jenny third 9.1 metres back after trailing the weakening leader. The rate 200.6. ■ The VHRC / Aldebaran Park Benefiting Our Members Trotters Mobile over 2200 metres saw Wishing Stone-Canadian Dream filly Wish Upona Dream prove too good for her older rivals in a 2-04.7 mile rate. Given a sweet passage one/one from gate four as local Allawart Bob (gate three) led with Onestep Ahead in the breeze. When Onestep Ahead took care of the leader in the last lap, Wish UponA Dream coasted up to her and given full rein in the straight, scored comfortably by 3.7 metres over Onestep Ahead, with roughie Shezagem (three pegs) third 8.2 metres away. ■ Smythes Creek owner/trainer Nathan Cahir’s honest 4Y0 Somebeachsomewhere-Our Narissa Franco gelding Telemachus chalked up his seventh success in 37 race appearances when taking the 1700 metre The Weekly Advertiser / APG Pace. Showing his usual speed from gate three to cross polemarker Merolamagic shortly after the start, Telemachus was rated to perfection, but considering the mile rate of 1-55.5, only just lasted by a half head margin from Sea Lover which raced outside him from the bell after easing away from inside the second row to be three back in the running line. Hes A Cool Mach was third along the sprint lane from three pegs 5.9 metres away. It was a great pay day for Nathan as Telemachus collected VHRC both bonuses. ■ Dunnstown trainer/driver David Murphy’s cleverly named 4Y0 Barna Straide-Seven Nations gelding Welease Woger broke his maiden status at start number 27 when successful in the Alabar / VHRC Vicbred Platinum Maiden Pace over 1700 metres. Raced by wife Erin, Welease Woger usually a fast beginner did exactly that from the pole to lead throughout, accounting for first starter Pixiu (gate six) three wide to outside him, then one/ one and three wide home turn. Alook To Like was third along the sprint lane after following the winner. The margins 1.4 by 1.1 metres in a mile rate of 2-00,5.

Transfer to Mildura

■ At the Swan Hill meeting transferred from Mildura on Monday, Charlton based Shane Sanderson and son Ryan were in the winners list. ■ Shane prepared 6Y0 Art Major-Sahara Miss gelding Sahara Tiger driven by Ryan to land the Tankard Dental Pace over 1750 metres. Raced by a big syndicate of owners including HRV Chairman Dale Monteith and Board member Peter Watkinson, Sahara Tiger starting inside the second row spent most of the race bottled up three pegs as Shannonstheman flew away to lead from outside the front line. Angling away from the inside to follow Yorkshire (one/one) on the final bend, Sahara Tiger was held in a tight pocket for most of the home running before gaining a late split between horses and dashed through the gap to record a 1.6 metre victory over Yorkshire which led on turning. Overpowering was a game third 2.3 metres back after racing exposed for the trip. The mile rate 1-56.9. ■ Ryan joined forces with Mildura’s Andrew Vozlic to land the Good Deal Tyres Pace over 2240 metres aboard 9Y0 Sportswriter-Cunning Kate mare Valbarann. Although it was only a small field of four reduced to three when Cocorocks galloped at

Harness Racing

with Len Baker the start taking no part, it was an entertaining affair when Valbarann came off the back of the leader Mustang Max at the bell to issue a challenge, eventually taking over in the last lap. Pushed out to the wire, Valbarann only just lasted to score by a nose from Gotonebetter along the sprint lane. Mustang Max was third 33.1 metres back. The mile rate 2-01.7.

11 events at B’go

■ Bendigo raced on Tuesday with an eleven event program and Ararat based trainer Danny O’Brien snared a stable double - Sunshine Beach-Satimer Sunset gelding Blake Bolac taking the Bendigo Locksmiths 2Y0 Vicbred Pace over 1650 metres and 5Y0 Somebeach-somewhere-Soho Artemis mare Evie Beautiful the Bendigo Ski Boat Centre Pace over the same trip, both driven by Chris Alford. Blake Bolac after following through from gate two on the second line was quickly outside the poleline pacemaker Misslola and assumed control shortly after. Tackled on turning by Miss Bay King Cole (one/one – three wide last lap), Blake Bolac held on to score by a neck, with Delight To Watch (one/two) third 23.7 metres away. The mile rate 1-56.5. In a great training achievement, Evie Beautiful first up since September 2029 was sent forward from gate four to park outside the leader Blood Moon inside her and with Alford applying extreme pressure in the back straight, outstayed her rivals to register a half neck margin from Double The Hunter (one/one) and Roberts Delight (three pegs at bell) who was 5.2 metres away third. The mile rate 156.2. ■ Long time harness enthusiasts Garry and Brenda Jackson were winners when their home bred Four Starzzz Shark-Lavender Bullant filly Lavender Dolly trained at Longlea by Clinton McSwain and driven by Greg Sugars saluted the judge in the TAB Long May We Play 3Y0 Pace over 2150 metres. Trailing the polemarker Lollipop from inside the second line, Lavender Dolly moved around her approaching the bell and led for the rest of the journey, scoring by 1.3 metres in a rate of 202.3 from Modern Jive which raced exposed. Our True Colours (three pegs) was third 3.3 metres away. ■ Popular Lockwood trainer/driver Ron Wicks led throughout from the pole aboard 5Y0 Changeover-Fancy Falcon gelding Yankee Boot Flat in the 2150 metre Smartline Mortgage Advisers Pace. Raced by a large syndication, Yankee Boot Flat couldn’t be caught, reaching the wire 1.3 metres in advance of That Lovin Feelin which raced exposed, with Zwick third a half head away after trailing the winner and using the sprint lane. The mile rate 2-01.7.

Double day

■ Wednesday was double day with Melton racing in the afternoon and Shepparton at night. At Melton, Nineteen year old Warragul partowner/trainer Nathan Rodwell would have received a tremendous thrill when his 4Y0 A Rocknroll Dance-Perfect Paradise mare A Perfect Dance greeted the judge in the Beraldo Coffee Pace over 2240 metres. Lobbing beautifully one/one from gate two

on the second line trailing Citysiren in the open as Onehandonthebounce began at 100 miles an hour from outside the front line to lead, A Perfect Dance after angling three wide on the home turn, dashed away in the straight to record a 4.6 metre margin over Onehandonthebounce, returning a mile rate of two minutes even. Well Said Harps (one/three) ran home strongly for third a head away. ■ Kilmore’s Rita Burnett combined with Heathcote concessional reinsman George Chamouras to land the 1720 metre Hip Pocket Workwear & Safety Pace with 5Y0 Western Terror-Cracker Three gelding Im The Mighty Gramps in a mile rate of 1-56.5. Restrained from gate six to be five pegs with Masake leading from gate three before handing over to Good Feelings (gate five), Im The Mighty Gramps had moved to be two back in the moving line for the last lap with Trembita (three pegs) leading up the outside division. Angling three wide in the last lap after Mach Charm ahead of him couldn’t go, Im The Mighty Gramps driven vigorously sustained a long run to blouse Trembita which looked all over a winner on turning by a half head. Good Feelings held down third 5.6 metres away. ■ Another excitable winner on the day was Ross Creek part-owner/trainer Katrina (Smiley) Fitzpatrick following the victory of her recently purchased 5Y0 Love You-Focus On Me gelding Kyvalley Surfrider in the Hygain Trotters Mobile over 2240 metres. With Chris Alford in the sulky, Kyvalley Surfrider enjoyed a cosy trip three back in the running line after beginning fast from gate five as polemarker Aldebaran Stevie led. When the tough Ero Carpe Diem took over on the final bend, Kyvalley Surfrider was in hot pursuit and ran on best to prevail by 2.7 metres returning a mile rate of 2-01.1. Majestic Speed (one/one – behind leader home turn) was third 15.9 metres back. ■ Bolinda’s Lisa Miles trained and reined 7Y0 Betterthancheddar-Magic Music mare Magic Craft to land in the Book Interdom Tickets Pace over 2190 metres at Shepparton. Settling four back in the moving line from gate five after Shezabluechip (gate six) has crossed Island Rocknroll (gate two), Magic Craft went forward swiftly three wide in the last lap to join the leader on the final bend before racing right away in the straight to score by 5.6 metres over What A Pleasure which had followed her throughout, with polemarker Smash It (three pegs) third 1.4 metres back. The mile rate 159.7. ■ Tallygaroopna dup Mark Lee (trainer) and Stacey Towers (driver) were successful with handy Creatine/Chevaux Rainbow filly Itzfergietime in the 2190 metre Trent Cole Trotters Mobile. Travelling sweetly all of the way three pegs from gate two, Itzfergietime angled away from the markers in the last lap to join the pacemaker Theyallendiny (gate four) and finished off her race nicely to score by 1.4 metres in 2-00.9 from another three year old Sebastians Boy which followed her home after a slow beginning. Theallendiny held down third 7.8 metres away. ■ Doreen owner/breeders John and Christine Yeomans landed the Neatline Homes Vicbred Pace over 2190 metres with 4Y0 Grinfromeartoear-Artistic Wings filly Rainbowsend. Trained by John assisted by stable foreman Shane Gallagher, Lifeinthebalance driven by ‘Herbie’ Herbertson led from gate four but when challenged by Mister Jimaringle outside her on the first turn, relented to the pressure allowing him to assume control. Angling away from the inside on the home turn to follow Lifeinthebalance which has raced exposed, Rainbowsend was held in a tight pocket needing luck to go her way and it did on straightening when obtaining a run inside Lifeinthebalance. Racing clear over the concluding stages, Rainbowsend scored by 1.9 metres from Lifeinthebalance and Wonga Lake (one/three) who was 1.6 metres back third. The mile rate 158.2.

Honour for identity

■ Kilmore was Thursday’s venue and The

Sulky Snippets This Week

■ Wednesday – Ballarat, Thursday – Yarra Valley (?), Friday – Bendigo, Saturday – Melton, Sunday – Maryborough, Monday – Cobram, Tuesday – Mildura. Terry Wait Memorial Pace over 2180 metres honouring the Lancefield identity who passed away suddenly not so long back, was taken out by locally trained 9Y0 American Ideal-Lombo Glad Rags gelding Ideal Investment for Ben Yole and stable reinsman Corey Bell. Given a sweet trip one/one from gate four, Ideal Investment after moving three wide on the home turn swept to the front shortly after to register a 3.5 metre margin over Pete Mitchell (gate four) along the sprint lane off the back of the leader Pinnacle Hope (gate three) which held down third a neck away. The mile rate 2-03.7. ■ The 2180 metre Beraldo Coffee Pace was an entertaining race with victory going to the short priced favourite Our Money Rocks but not before giving his backers a gigantic scare. Trained by Adam Kelly at Toolern Vale and driven by James Herbertson, Our Money Rocks (gate two) was held in a firm pocket three pegs for most of the race after American Legacy which has crossed Arden Roanoke at the bell. Looking set for victory on turning, American Legacy trod on a shoe and galloped badly checking The Rocknroll King outside him which allowed both Arden Roanoke and Our Money Rocks to gain a clear passage. Finishing best, Our Money Rocks defeated Arden Roanoke by 1.3 metres returning a mile rate of 2-02.2.American Legacy got going again for third 5.5 metres back. ■ Heathcote father and daughter Terry and Tayla French provided a blow out winner in 7Y0 Somebeachsomwhere-Golden Slippa gelding Beach Wreck who led throughout at odds of $61.00 in the 1690 metre Jet Roofing Pace. Beginning fast from gate five to lead, Beach Wreck bowled along at his leisure without a worry in the world and never looked like being caught, reaching the wire 1.9 metres in advance of Bettor Sport (three pegs) in a rate of 1-58.6. Polemarker Speedie Eadie three back the markers) 3.1 metres back.

Pacing Cup victor

■ Multiple Cups winner Our Millionaire added another cup to his collection when a brilliant victor of the $35,000 (Group 3) 3SH Swan Hill Pacing Cup over 2790 metres last Friday. Trained at Cardigan by Emma Stewart and driven by the stable’s number one reinsman Mark Pitt, Our Millionaire a 6Y0 Million Dollar Cam-Rarified Air stallion raced by a large syndicate of friends began with a wing on every foot from gate five to lead by a big margin as the mobile pulled away. Vanquish Stride (gate two) did all the chasing with Kosimo three pegs from the pole and locally owned Torrid Saint four back along the markers from a solo second line draw. Blitzern (gate three) a semi-stablemate of the winner led up the outside division with outsider Velox Equus one/one and Like A Wildfire another stablemate of the winner at the tail. ■ Allowed to bowl all through the race, Our Millionaire ran his rivals ragged in quarters of 30.7, 29,4, 26.4 and 27.8 after a lead time of 87.3 to register a 9.2 metre margin in advance of a game Blitzern, with Torrid Saint third a nose away after using the sprint lane from three pegs on the home turn after Kosimo ahead of him had eased away from the inside in the last lap.
