■ MERALYN KLEIN, Edendale Ward candidate in the Nillumbik Council election, says that an assault complaint that she is due to face next month is politically motivated.

Ms Klein is due to face a charge, issued by summons, at Heidelberg Magistrates’ Court on November 12. The charge was laid by Whittlesea Uniform Police.

Ms Klein, a member of the Liberal Party Women’s Council, says that her legal representatives are requiring Yan Yean MLA Danielle Green (Labor) to appear at the hearing.

Ms Klein issued a statement of reply to The Local Paper (see Page 3, this issue).

The newspaper is unable to publish some of the statement because the matter is before the Court. ● Turn To Page 3

Local Briefs Rezza connection to missing lad

● Al-Harith Azzam ■ Police are appealing for public assistance to help locate missing teenager Al-Harith Azzam. The 16-year-old was last seen in Broad-meadows on June 9.

Police and family have concerns for his welfare due to his age and the length of time he has been missing.

Al-Harith is known to frequent the Broadmeadows and Reservoir areas.

He is described as being about 178cm tall with a slim build and black hair.

Police have released an image of AlHarith in the hope someone recognises him and can provide information regarding his current whereabouts.

Anyone with information about Al-Harith’s whereabouts is asked to contact Broadmeadows Police Station on 9302 8222.

‘We didn’t give out numbers’: VEC

■ Active campaigning by candidates is evident now that postal voting packs for the Victorian local council elections are now being delivered now to voters, .

The Victorian Electoral Commission has moved to reassure voters that mobile phone numbers of voters are not provided with the enrolment information available to candidates and registered political parties under Commonwealth and State legislation.

Warwick Gately, Electoral Commissioner, says some voters in the current local council elections have become concerned upon receiving text messages from local council candidates in their campaigning.

“I understand voters in a small number of wards have received text messages on behalf of candidates for local council elections.

The messages were not sent using enrolment information available to them through the VEC,” Mr Gately said.

Upon being contacted by voters about the origin of the contact details, some Council candidates mistakenly stated that they were provided by the VEC. “I can definitively state that the VEC does not provide voter mobile phone number or email address details to candidates or political parties. If anyone is concerned, they should take it up directly with the candidate or the person who authorised the message,” Mr Gately said.

Driver caution

■ Drivers are urged to take extra care in and around school zones as face-to-face learning returns this week for some year groups.

Extra traffic is expected in school zones, particularly as many schools introduce a staggered pick up and drop off time.

Road Policing Command Assistant Commissioner Libby Murphy said with many children out of their usual school routine, they may have forgotten basic road rules that normally come as second nature

Klein points to opponents OPINION

Vote wisely

■ Meralyn Klein, Nillumbik Council candidate, was angry when she telephoned The Local Paper office on Friday.

She said our front-page report that she was to face Heidelberg Court next month to fight an assault charge was ‘rubbish’.

She wanted right of reply, which the newspaper had already offered her in an email date-stamped 3.23am the previous Sunday. Ms Klein said she had not received the email, then complained about it being sent at 3.23am and on a Sunday.

She suggested that the newspaper had worked in collaboration with Yan Yean MLA Danielle Green to publish the report.

No other person than Ms Klein was consulted prior to the report being published.

(For the record, the most recent occasion that The Local Paper has spoken with Ms Green was in public at the Mernda Fair.

Ms Klein has enever been the subject of conversation with Ms Green.)

Ms Klein has a talent for making the headlines: a run-in with a parking attendant, members of her own family voting against her, use of a Council logo, being part of a controversial video, being disendorsed as the Liberal Yan Yean candidate.

Local companies, Nobody Denim of Thornbury and Australian Defence Apparel in Thomastown, have won contracts with the Victorian State Government. An order of 1.2 million reusable masks has been placed with six Victorian companies accredited by Ethical Clothing Australia to help in the fight against Coronavirus.

● Police want to speak with these two people about a theft.

Police are appealing for public help to identify a man and a woman after a $205 electric toothbrush and razors were stolen from a chemist in Lower Plenty last month. Officers have been told the pair entered the store on Main Rd about 3.15pm on Wednesday, September 20. Once inside the store it is alleged the man selected an electric toothbrush and placed it into a shopping bag while the woman selected razors and did the same. The pair then left the store. Investigators have released images of two people they believe may be able to assist with their enquires. Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

■ Meralyn Klein, candidate for Edendale Ward in the Nillumbik Council, has issued a statement after last week’s Local Paper report detailing that she was due to face Heidelberg Magistrates’ Court to fight a charge of assault.

“I refute entirely the claims made by my opponent MP Danielle Green and her volunteer Deborah Worsley Pine in regard to an alleged assault on the polling booth during the State Election. “[This is] an allegation of an elbow to the stomach of Ms. Pine. At no time did I come in physical contact with anyone on the polling booth,” Ms Klein said.

“Neither Ms Green or Ms Pine raised this alleged incident with the Victorian Electoral Commission at the time, stationed on site [to] deal to complaints.

“Neither one contacted the media, the ALP, or raised it with any of the 15 or so people on the polling booth at the time.

Nor did Ms Pine seek any medical attention.

This woman did not even raise it with Ms Green until two weeks after the election, or report it to Police until many weeks after the election.

“Ms Green did not make a statement until 3 months after the election.

“The allegation is unfounded, untrue, entirely

Lib. candidate fights assault claim fabricated .. and is clearly politically motivated and has been created to damage my reputation in an attempt to stop me from standing for public office.

“The fact that adjournments have been sought in order to drag this matter out until after this Council election, over two years since the alleged incident is testament to this fact.

“I was charged on summons to appear to defend myself from this spurious lie, and defend my self I will!

“In relation to the other matter you raised. I made an anti crime video, in line with Liberal Party policy and in support of Victims of Crime for White Ribbon Day. “I did not make any statement maligning Muslims as the video clearly shows, nor did I sanction the vandalisation of my video.

“This video was doctored and used without my knowledge or permission. My only crime was being too trusting of an ... unscrupulous person. I won’t make that mistake again,” Ms Klein said in an email to The Local Paper.

Anonymous hate campaign ■ An anonymous letter-boxing campaign against Banyule Greens candidates Alida McKern and Peter Castaldo has been conducted in the dead of night in lockdown around Ivanhoe.

Unauthorised, unsigned pamphlets - urging local voters not to support Ms McKern and Mr Castaldo - were distributed in the Chelsworth and Griffin Wards respectively.

It is illegal to circulate election material that does not carry the author’s name and address.

The election campaigns in Banyule wards generally see Liberal-associated candidates placing Greens candidates last on their how-to-vote tickets.

A number of Labor-associated candidates have swapped preferences with the Greens.

The anonymous pamphlet was distributed after The Local Paper appeared with a paid front-page ad for the Greens.

Falcons windfall

■ Darebin Council entered into a two-year partnership agreement with the Darebin Women’s Sport Club known as the Darebin Falcons, with Council contributing $80,000 per calendar year for two years, concluding in December 2020. The resolution had an option of renewing the agreement, with contributions for years three and four being $80,000 and 60,000 respectively. The partnership agreement is therefore for $160,000 for the first two years, ending in December 2020. If extended for years three and four, this could increase the total funding over the four-year period to $300,000.

Preston Post Never asked people ■ Outgoing Darebin Mayor Susan Rennie told last month’s Council meeting that it had “never asked the community if they want the [Preston] market to be demolished”.

Dr Rennie was answering a question put

by Marion Rennie of the Darebin Ratepayers’Association.

"To our knowledge, no-one has expressed that they would like to see the market demolished. Certainly, no Councillor wants the market to be demolished,” Dr Rennie said.

Ms Harper asked if any Councillor or officer provide evidence of a greater number of people who want to see Preston Market demolished and moved elsewhere.

Whittlesea Post New CEO starts

Justin O'Meara returns to Whittlesea as Director Planning and Development.

Kate McCaughey will be Director Community Wellbeing.

Amy Montalti is to be Director Corporate Services and Performance.

● An anonymous pamphlet against Alida McKern.

Darebin debacle: DRA ■ The Darebin Ratepayers’Association has complained to Sue Wilkinson, Darebin Council CEO, about behaviour by outgoing Mayor Susan Rennie.

Dr Rennie is fighting seven opponents for the single vacancy for the South Central Ward on Darebin Council.

Marion Harper of the Darebin Progress Association wrote on September 22 to Ms Wilkinson, about a matter raised at the Council meeting when it was suggested by a resident that there was a potential conflict of interest.

“The questions asked concerned conflicts of interest and related to a grant of $350,000 given to Darebin Falcons and of which Cr McCarthy and the Mayor [Dr Rennie] have children members and players for that club and that Cr McCarthy is a junior club coach.

“This resident saw this as a conflict of interest and sought why that was not declared.”

Ms Harper said there was also a possible conflict of interest by Deputy Mayor Cr Susanne Newton, an employee of of Latrobe University, in relation to Strathallan Golf Club. :”There appears to be a conflict of interest at play here that merits an explanation. Could you explain why these legitimate questions were not allowed?” Ms Harper wrote.

■ The five active COVID cases in Banyule municipality were all in postcode 3081, according to the covidlive.com.au website, as at Sunday (Oct. 11).

The 3081 postcode takes in Bellfield, Heidelberg Heights, Heidelberg Repatriation General Hospital and Heidelberg West.

An identical number of COVID active cases in the northern suburbs was reported in 3064, comprising Craigieburn, Donnybrook, Kalkallo, Mickleham and Roxburgh Park..

To the east, there is a fresh outbreak with the Box Hill Hospital.

Diamond Valley News Pool re-opens

● Susan Rennie, Darebin candidate

■ According to the Nillumbik Council website this week, the Diamond Creek Outdoor Pool will be opening two weeks early on Monday (Oct. 19).

“The annual opening date has been brought forward following the Victorian Government’s announcement that outdoor pools could reopen as part of the second step of the easing of restrictions,” says the website.

To ensure the health and safety of visitors, staff and the broader community, the reopening of the pool will comply with the restrictions mandated by Victorian Government. Visitors must live or work within 5km of the Diamond Creek Pool.

Boost for African groups ■ Ivanhoe MLA Anthony Carbines, has announced t he Victorian African Communities Action Plan, which he says is a comprehensive, long-term strategy to address a wide range of issues affecting Victorians of African heritage.

Mr Carbines is Chair of the Plan: “These innovation grants are just one way we’re working with African communities to make Victoria a stronger, safer and fairer place to be.”

Some 22 local projects will be funded under the Community Innovation Grants Program – an initiative of the $8.6 million Plan.

Some of the successful projects include: ■ A vegetable garden in Shepparton, harvesting traditional vegetables such as maize and okra ■ A two-day forum for young African Victorians, applying business strategies to social issues ■ A digital storytelling program recruiting nine emerging African Victorian filmmakers ■ A leadership workshop for African Victorian law students to assist with confidence and job opportunities.

“We have been so impressed by the innovative ways that African communities have sought to boost inclusion and participation – and I am proud that we can support these projects to reach their full potential," said Ros Spence, Minister for Multicultural Affairs.

Cash for cycling routes ■ Inner-suburban areas such as Northcote will benefit from 100 kilometers of new and improved cycling routes.

The plan is aimed at making it easier and safer for people cycling to and from the CBD. Ben Carroll, Minister for Roads and Road Safety, said the $13 million investment will deliver pop-up lanes to help relieve congestion and provide an alternative to public transport Planning for the routes is underway with signage, road markings and barriers used to create the pop-up improvements to cycle lanes, off-road paths and crossing points.

Local councils and community representatives will be consulted as the pop-up cycling routes are developed, ensuring they best fit local needs.

Victoria will also introduce mandatory minimum passing distances next year – improving cyclist safety and ensuring passing distance rules clear and consistent across state lines for all road users.

“The coronavirus pandemic is changing the way we move around Melbourne – that’s why we’re building over 100km of pop-up bike lanes, providing an alternative for shorter trips,” Mr Carroll said.

■ Homicide Squad detectives are continuing their investigation into the suspicious death of a woman in Richmond on Saturday morning.

Police were called to an apartment in Church St following reports a woman was injured about 3.20am.

Shortly after, police were notified that a man’s body had been discovered in Melbourne’s CBD. The man was found at the base of a building at the intersection of Spencer and Little Collins Sts about 4am.

His death was not being treated as suspicious and a report will be prepared for the Coroner Police believe the man and woman were known to each other.

Thornbury crash

Road rage at T’town ■ Police are appealing for public help after a man was assaulted by another man in Thomastown on Thursday.

Investigators have been told the assault took place at the intersection of Edgars Rd and Main St on October 8 about 7.25am.

It is believed the victim, a 42-year-old from Lalor, was driving north along Edgars Rd when he stopped at the intersection traffic lights.

The driver of a greycoloured Toyota or Nissan sedan, possibly a late 90s model, got out of the vehicle and approached the victim’s car.

The unknown offender opened the victim’s driver’s side door and punched him to the left side of his head.

The offender then got back into his vehicle and drove off north along Edgars Rd. The victim sustained minor injuries and was taken to hos-

Local Briefs Inner-city deaths

■ A driver fled the scene of a crash in Thornbury on Thursday morning (Oct. 8) leaving their passenger injured and unconscious at the scene.

Police were called to the crash on Flinders St following reports a vehicle had struck a parked truck causing extensive damage about 1.20am.

Attending Police found the 16-year-old female passenger injured and still in the vehicle before discovering the female driver had fled.

The teenager has been taken to hospital for treatment to what is believed to be nonlife-threatening injuries.

A search of the area failed to find the driver.

Police are also investigating whether the same vehicle drove off from police in Richmond.

It is believed three or four people were in the car, at that time, and were seen looking into parked cars in Crown St with torches; they were also seen to smash a window of a car.

When Police arrived the car sped off at a fast rate of speed down Bridge Rd. Police are appealing for the driver and for anyone with information to come forward.

Cops escape injury ■ A Police officer was lucky to escape injury when a man stabbed at the window of a police car in Eltham last week.

The incident unfolded when officers were called to reports of an armed man who appeared agitated, at the intersection of Reynolds and Main Rds, on Tuesday, October 6, about 10pm.

Responding Police received a number of calls from the public about the shirtless man who was pacing the street and holding two knives.

When Police arrived, the man charged at Police and broke the knife as he stabbed at the officer’s closed window.

In difficult and dynamic circumstances Police were able to establish a roving cordon, while the Eltham man ran and yelled at Police, before they negotiated with him to drop the knives.

The 21-year-old man was taken into custody and transported to hospital with a selfinflicted injury and for assessment.

North West Metro Inspector Zorka Dunstan said the incident overnight highlights the very difficult and challenging scenarios Police can face day in and day out.

“The responding officers are to be commended for their actions in a very dynamic incident,” the Inspector said.

■ Manningham City Council and Warrandyte Historical Society have installed another four historical plaques highlighting the rich history of the township.

Historical Society Secretary Valerie Polley said plaques were installed on the Warrandyte Mechanics Institute on the wall facing Yarra St adjacent to the path leading to the outdoor area, on the front stone wall of the Old Fire Station, on the front wall of the Wine Hall, and on the right hand side of the stone retaining wall behind the War Memorial.

Eyes on the prize

■ Healesville gin distillery Four Pillars is one of four gin producers across the globe shortlisted for the 2020 International Wine and Spirits Competition International Gin Producer of the Year award.

Four Pillars has the rare opportunity to defend their trophy, having claimed the honour last year.

“To win it this year would be pretty incredible, considering we made all these plans to take the 2019 trophy on a global tour and so far, it has made it no further than Sydney, we haven’t even got it to Queensland,” said Four Pillars Distiller and Co-Founder Cameron Mackenzie.

“To win this trophy once was obviously a life highlight, to win it a second time would frankly be beyond belief – I’m pretty sure I’d have to retire.”

Conflicting advice

■ Changing advice has confused some members of the Kilmore community as the Department of Health and Human Services tries to keep the Kilmore COVID-19 outbreak from spreading.

Some people who visited Oddfellows Cafe in the high-risk period between September 30 and October 3 and are considered close contacts were told they do not need to isolate once they get a negative test result.

The standard DHHS advice throughout the pandemic is that people don’t need to isolate after testing negative.

However, advice for those considered close contacts in the Kilmore outbreak changed this week, with the DHHS taking a stricter approach to the Kilmore cluster in a bid to contain the spread.

The pro gramme, which was most ably rendered, consisted of a presentation of a. charming cantata, The Rose of Joy, supplemented by concerted items, amongst which some excellent action songs were provided.

The whole entertainment reflected the. greatest credit upon those responsible for so unique a treat for those present - Mrs and Miss Doney and Mr Jack Herbert.

At the close of the evening, the Vicar (Rev. T. H. Sapsford), who occupied the chair, presented the prizes for the past year, for which object the enter tainment was given.

The evening realised, over £5, and the universal verdict was, how much could be accomplished by the young, people in the little village.

It is a pity that the visiting team, who not intending to. turn up. does notb notify the home team, I. am sure it would sare a lot of trouble..

However, Kinglake played a scratch match, in which the old vetern (Jack Murphy) showed that he had not forgotten the way to use the bat, making 50 runs (notout) in great style. Jim McKimmie again proved himself a tarter with the ball, taking five wickets for as many runs. Bert Pearce found some of his old sting; also did Bob McKimmie and Jack Murphy. Last but not leiast comes Bill O'Brien with a good 27 runs made by solid gricket. Thanking you-, Mr Editor Yours, &e.,.

Follow-up to Lalor murder ■ Homicide Squad detectives have released CCTV of a vehicle they are searching for as part of their investigation into the fatal shooting of Adrian Pacione in Lalor earlier this year.

Adrian was inside at a friend’s house on Ella Court on Saturday, July 18 when a number of men have attended the property around 10.35pm.

Police have been told the men attempted to force their way into the house and when they were unsuccessful, fired a number of shots into the property.

One of these shots struck 20-year-old Adrian in the head. The Lalor man was conveyed to hospital, however died two days later.

Three other men who were inside the property at the time of the incident were uninjured.

The group of men, including the gunman, have subsequently left the scene in a dark coloured vehicle.

The car was last sighted heading south along Mount View Rd in Lalor.

Investigators believe the attendance at the house by the men was targeted and possibly as the result of a dispute. The victim was at the property to support a friend following the death of a family member and police do not believe he was involved in any possible dispute.

Convent Gallery

■ Collette Brennan is providing an update on the impact of the COVID-19 public health restrictions with respect to the Convent c3 Gallery.

Due to the current public health restrictions required to manage COVID-19 the Convent Gallery has had to close the Convent including the c3 Gallery to the general public .

In assessing the situation, following government advise, and managing the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 restrictions on the Convent they came to the inevitable decision to put c3 and its program into hibernation for a period of at least six months from April 2020.

As they consider the increased and ongoing negative impacts of the Stage 4 lockdown on the Gallery's operations ,they regrettably had to extend this hibernation into early 2021.

FUNDING FOR DEAF, DISABLED ■ Arts Centre Melbourne and the Metro Tunnel Creative Program have announced an open Expression of Interest inviting deaf and disabled artists and collaborating allies to create a participatory work incorporating themes of movement, repetition and time.

The selected project will receive funding to the total of $40,000 to create a new-site responsive performance work, activating non-traditional and highly visible spaces in the Arts Centre Melbourne precinct, with the project planned to feature in an event in late 2021.

“The Metro Tunnel Creative Program presents temporary creative works that make a significant contribution to keeping Melbourne a vibrant and attractive destination as the city transforms its commuter routes towards the future,” said Yunuen Perez, Arts Centre Melbourne’s Creative Producer, Public Realm.

“Their collaborative approach to engage the local artistic community to deliver art and performance works of international calibre aligns with Arts Centre Melbourne’s vision for the public realm.”

Arts Centre Melbourne’s partnership with the Metro Tunnel Creative Program was forged due to the fact that both organisations are managing disruption near the theatres buildings. Conversations began about how they could create lively spaces while offering an opportunity to Victoria’s artists.

“We thought it was a good opportunity for both organisations to join together and manage these changes while championing the arts,” said Linda Cantan, Package Director, Tunnels & Stations, Rail Projects Victoria.

The selected work for this project will be adjudicated by a Public Realm Performance Commission selection panel that includes representatives from Arts Centre Melbourne and the Metro Tunnel Creative Program, alongside artists and cultural leaders with lived experience of disability and artists with First Nations representation.

“The collaboration with Metro Tunnel Creative Program is an unprecedented opportunity open to deaf and disabled artists to realise a

The EOI is open to Victoria-based deaf and disabled artists, collaborating allies and collectives welcoming all genres that engage and foster audience participation.

Arts Centre Melbourne has provided an information video for potential applicants with MTCP and ACM representatives featured to answer questions that participants may have regarding the EOI process or broader program.

The Comey Rule ■ The Comey Rule offers a mordant satire of contemporary American politics.

Except that it is not supposed to be a comedy.

This is despite the fact that there are some great comedic performances.

All that's missing is a Malcolm Tucker-like character screaming 'omnishambles' into his phone.

From the start, Comey (Jeff Daniels) seems out of his depth; a Jimmy Stewart character in a heist movie where a powerful mob boss has somehow infiltrated the Oval Office and is setting up a rigged game populated by his cronies.

Comey comes across as a bounty hunter whose loyalty is to his government, but who cannot reconcile that the gang he usually puts away is now the government.

Big Donald (Brendan Gleeson), self-confessed friend of Russian oligarchs and former KGB agents, invites Comey to the White House.

Over dinner, a metaphor-laden affair where the president rejects the high-falutin' seafood starter only to chow down on ice cream, de-

mands loyalty, or else. He offers Comey the role of enforcer, but the boss wants a favour.

Comey's instructions are to take down the boss's arch-nemesis, Big Hillary.

Comey and his team of G-men uncover an array of plots and schemes, including bribery and blackmail.

Corruption and venality lurk behind every closed door. One-by-one gang members are arrested and convicted.

When word gets out that he's looking into the president's shady dealings, Comey's days as the FBI's chief crimefighter are numbered.

This is the strangest show on TV—we've entered the Upside Down world that is the Trump presidency.

This is a high-stakes game and no one, least of all the head of the FBI James Comey, was ready for it.

● Fiona McArthur ■ When you are living in locked down Melbourne, the chance to travel beyond your 5kms radius via a good book seems important.

Australian rural midwife and author, Fiona McArthur, has just released her latest novel, The Bush Telegraph, which transports us to the Australian small country town of Spinifex.

After fleeing Spinifex as a new mum with baby daughter Bridget 10 years ago, Maddy, now a midwife and nurse, returns to Spinifex with Bridget to steer the town medical centre.

As the new broom, Maddy gives senior outback nurse Phyllis a steep learning curve, in a town that is driving farmers to the edge and without a new baby having been born in Spinifex for two years.

Throw in a potential romantic interest in the form of Connor Fairhall, who has returned to his family's station from the city, and you have all the elements needed for the classic bush telegraph.

Fiona traces the story of all these disparate elements that make up a McArthur bush saga and takes the lucky reader along for the ride.

Not surprisingly, Fiona says that she loves books that highlight challenges.

"We're all intrinsically strong and can do anything we believe in. The Bush Telegraph was born from my absolute admiration of remote health workers, young mums striving to be amazing role models for their children, and the stunning scenery around Winton in Queensland," she says.

Fiona says she knows that the world is real, and human beings aren't perfect, but there is always an upbeat mood to her books.

"Social issues and flawed characters finding redemption are always themes in my books. I do love when kindness flips the switch and helps people find their path," she explains.

The Bush Telegraph sounds like the kind of feel-good novel we all need at the moment. More details at www.penguinrandom house.com.au - Julie Houghton

■ Hi everyone, from my suite at the Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites comes this week's news.

Out and About

Max Merritt dead at 79

■ My good mate Max Merritt succumbed to his long term ailment on September 24 in Woodland Hills, California. He was 79.

Born in Christchurch, New Zealand ,onApril 30, 1941, Merritt made his mark when he formed The Meteors in the 1950s and reeled off a string of catchy rock 'n' roll numbers, including Get a Haircut, Kiss Curl and C'mon Let's Go. Soon, Merritt and his band outgrew Christchurch and by 1962 they had relocated to Auckland, and later, Australia, where he earned the moniker ‘King of Soul’.

With the Meteors, Merritt had a No. 2 hit in Australia in 1975 with the soaring ballad Slippin' Away and were signed to Arista Records in the UK. Hey, Western Union Man reached No. 13.

Max was always the hard worker. His last album with new single and video called I Can Dream in the next few months. I will certainly miss him.

Social media puppy love ■ It's puppy love at first swipe. A new relationship website has hit the dating market, but there's a catch: All users must have four legs.

The site, called Pinder, is a play on the widely popular dating app Tinder, but instead of swiping right or left on a potential human hookup, all of the eligible singles are pets.

"We're just taking the effective format of Tinder and applying it to the pet community," said Pinder founder Kevin Botero.

The site is new, but a quick scan of users shows a pooch named Max from Seattle dressed as a postman, a Brooklyn based terrier named Charlie rocking a "Where's Waldo" suit, a pig named Lucy who's based in Austin and loves to snack on cabbage and more.

While Pinder was created primarily for pet parents to hook up pals for their pooches, finding a human mate is also part of the fun.

Military suicides are up ■ Military suicides have increased by as much as 20 per cent in 2020 over the same period in 2019.

Senior military leaders say there has also been an increase in violent behaviour due to the stress caused by the coronavirus pandemic, war-zone deployments, natural disasters, and civil unrest.

Some army officials say they have seen a 30 per cent increase in active duty suicides and are considering shortening combat deployments to try to ease stressful situations.

The Pentagon did not share official data, but military officials interviewed say the timing of the increase and the pandemic and other disasters leaves little doubt that they are related.

"I can't say scientifically, but what I can say is I can read a chart and a graph, and the numbers have gone up in behavioural health related issues," Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy said.

"We cannot say definitively it is because of COVID. But there is a direct correlation from when COVID started, the numbers actually went up."

■ Netflix, the mega-streaming company has seen a slew of subscription cancellations after the release of Cuties, amid charges that the film is tantamount to child pornography.

Netflix released the movie on Sept. 9, followed quickly by a campaign by critics urging subscribers to #CancelNetflix.

Three days later, cancellations increased to eight times the daily averages recorded in August.

“With the #CancelNetflix hashtag continuing to trend on social media, it is possible elevated churn could continue in the coming days, according to the firm," Variety wrote, citing data from research company Yipit Data.

Things might get worse for Netflix. U.S. Senator Ted Cruz is urging the Department of Justice to launch an investigation into Netflix's involvement with the movie.

"The film routinely fetishizes and sexualizes these preadolescent girls as they perform dances simulating sexual conduct in revealing clothing, including at least one scene with partial child nudity.

“These scenes in and of themselves are harmful. And it is likely that the filming of this movie created even more explicit and abusive scenes, and that pedophiles across the world in the future will manipulate and imitate this film in abusive ways," Cruz wrote to Attorney General William Barr.

Ronnie starts knitting

GavinWood

From my Suite at the Ramada Plaza Complex on Santa Monica Blvd

■ Speaking on the Tea with Twiggy podcast, Rolling Stones Ronnie Wood said: "I do knit. I used to hold the spool of wool for my mum. She taught me the plain stitch and I still do it today. I knit endless scarves now."

Ronnie who has four adult children from previous relationships and four-year-old twins Alice and Gracie with third wife Sally has long swapped drugs for coffee to get a high.

He added: "I'm an espresso man. But that is an old leftover habit from rehab. "I couldn't do anything else so coffee was the thing."

Wood revealing his knitting hobby comes after he recently admitted he thinks a valve in his brain stopped him from overdosing.

Wood thinks he's only alive today because the valve prevented him from going too far amid his notorious drink and drugs binges.

He said: "Luckily I had a valve that cut off, if it was going to be too much in my body, that said 'no, don't go over, don't cross this line, otherwise you will not make it'.

"It was always ever present that it could be a stopping point or too much. If I do not control this then I would shoot off the edge of the precipice."

Ronnie previously admitted his life is "better" now he's sober.

Magazine ■ Ethel Merman made her debut on Broadway in the stage musical Girl Crazy in 1930 at the age of 22.

She never had a singing lesson in her life, never had a major hit song and although Ethel made several films, she was not regarded as a major film star – so why was Ethel Merman so popular?

I guess it was because she had star quality and was a showbusiness ‘legend’ in every sense of the word.

Ethel Agnes Zimmermann was born in Astoria, Queens in New York City in 1908. After graduating from High School, Ethel worked as a stenographer and then started singing in New York nightclubs. In 1924 she changed her name to Ethel Merman.

At this time she met Jimmy Durante and they became lifelong friends. During a season at The Palace in 1930 Ethel was invited to audition for the role of Kate Fothergill in the new George and Ira Gershwin musical Girl Crazy.

She got the role and this was a turning point in her career. Ethel got standing ovations when she sang the song I Got Rhythm holding a high C note for 16 bars.

Ethel Merman was signed to a film contract with Warner Brothers Studios and her first onscreen appearance was in Follow The Leader playing opposite Ed Wynn and Ginger Rogers.

Her film roles improved over the years and she made We’re Not Dressing (with Bing

Whatever Happened To ...

Ethel Merman

By Kevin Trask of 3AW and 96.5 Inner FM Crosby), Kid Millions (with Eddie Cantor) and Alexander’s Ragtime Band (with Tyrone Power).

In 1946 she played Annie Oakley in the stage musical Annie Get Your Gun which ran for 1147 performances at The Imperial Theatre on Broadway.

Ethel was not cast in the film version and when Judy Garland dropped out due to illness Betty Hutton was cast in the role of Annie Oakley. In 1950 Ethel played the lead role in Call Me Madam on Broadway and won the Tony award for her performance.

This time she was cast in the film version playing opposite Donald O’Connor, Vera Allen and George Sanders. In 1954 she starred in one of my favourite films There’s No Business Like

● Ethel Merman Showbusiness and her co stars included Donald O’Connor, Dan Dailey, Mitzi Gaynor and Marilyn Monroe. Ethel continued to dominate Broadway and created the role of Mama Rose in Gypsy in 1959.

A friend of mine slipped into a matinee of Gypsy and sat in the end seat in the back row of the theatre. As the lights dimmed he was vaguely aware of this woman in the darkness standing beside him in the isle.

Then the marvellous Miss Merman let go at the top of her voice with “Sing out Louise!” and my friend nearly went through the roof.

I thought Ethel was wonderful in the film It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World as the “mother from hell.”

Dorothy Provine, who played her daughter in the film, once told me that she was a “formidable lady.”

In the early 1960s Ethel came to Australia to do television work and performed at venues such as Chequers Nightclub in Sydney.

Ethel was married four times and had two children. Her marriage to Ernest Borgnine in 1964 lasted for a month and in her autobiography Ethel devoted a chapter to the marriage in the form of a blank page.

Her final on-screen performance was in the comedy Flying High in 1980. Ethel Merman passed away on the February 15, 1984.

She had the nickname of ‘leather lungs’ but there is no doubt that Ethel Merman was a marvellous singer and a true showbusiness legend – sadly missed.

Not only does it boast the highest tides in the world and is the summer feeding area for half the population of the North Atlantic Right whales, it is also the site of one of the greatest extinction events the world has ever known - the Triassic/Jurassic extinction.

Up there in biodiversity with the Amazon Rainforest, the Bay of Fundy is recognised with two designations

by UNESCO: A Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site (Joggins Fossil Cliffs).

When the Bay of Fundy's massive tides recede at the Hopewell Rocks, they leave behind a field of mud, sand and seaweed teeming with fascinating sea creatures.

Visitors can pull on gum boots and pick their way through rock crabs, sea snails, periwinkles and limpets.

The Hopewell Rocks is a place to pause and appreciate a remarkable story interwoven through time, tide, and the intricacies of nature - a place where you can actually walk on the ocean floor, and then kayak six hours later at high tide, 12 metres above sea level at the very same spot!

Lake Superior, Ontario There's a reason Lake Superior is referred to as an inland ocean.

It is as vast as it is gorgeous. Called Gitchi Gummi, or 'The Big Lake', by the Anishinaabe people of the region, the Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area will soon be recognised as one of the largest pro-

Travel

with John Rozentals tected areas of freshwater in the world.

Guided tours are recommended as Lake Superior has erratic weather patterns, similar to the ocean, and is large enough to create its own weather.

But the views and geology are worth a potentially tempestuous experience and storm chasers won't be disappointed.

The region features unique geological formations such as columnar basalt outcroppings, geodes and stromatolites (fossilised blue-green algae from the earliest periods of life on Earth).

At 2.7 billion years old, some of the world's oldest-known rocks can be found on the Ontario shore, wearing the scars of many winter storms.

Kluane National Park, Yukon Territory Kluane National Park, in Canada's north-west Yukon Territory, is a land of extremes.

The park is home to Canada's highest peak, the 5959-metre-high Mount Logan, along with 17 out of Canada's 20 tallest mountains.

The largest internationally protected area on the planet, the 21,980 square-kilometre Kluane is nearly four times larger than Banff National Park in Alberta.

Between the massive mountains lie the largest non-polar glacial icefields in the world, while the valleys below provide an abundant home for thriving wildlife, including grizzly bears,

Dall sheep, mountain goats, caribou, black bears and wolves.

Travellers from around the ‘world flock to Kluane National Park to hike its alpine passes, raft alongside glittering glaciers and mountain bike along old mining roads and trails.

Wood Buffalo National Park, Northwest Territories and Alberta Canada's largest park and the world's second largest protected area, the stars shine brightest at Wood Buffalo National Park.

In 2013, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada designated Wood Buffalo National Park the world's largest Dark-Sky Preserve, safeguarding this habitat for many owl species, bats and other nocturnal animals.

Restricted artificial light means visitors to the park see the constellations come to life and the dancing green and reds of the northern lights ripple across the night sky from late August to February.

Gazing upon this astronomical masterpiece while owls and loons serenade you in the distance is nothing short of life changing.

OK. With John O’Keefe Hugh Jackman in the buff ■ What do actors do when film work dries up ? In the case of Hugh Jackman he got his gear off, except for his R.M Williams boots, and has appeared in a new telly spot soon to be seen on our small screens.

As to be expected it’s a simple message brilliantly delivered by Jackman.

Footwear of a different brand is linked to another mega star in Justin Bieber. Crocs footwear is said to have signed the Bieb and their shares have shot through the stock market roof.

Radio stalwarts

■ October is the birthday for two Golden Oldies of the Australian Radio industry.

First is Gippsland radio station 3TR which iscelebrating its 90th birthday. Owned by ACE Radio Network 3TR broadcasts to 79,400 people per week, aged 10 years of age plus. Fantastic effort.

In the city of the giant Coat Hanger, Bob Rogers is Mr Radio and ruling the airwaves has been his job for eight decades, Bob is finally hanging up his microphone at 2CH. Bob is a legendary man of radio having interviewed everyone from The Beatles to Elton John. Bob is a sprightly 93 years old. Brilliant effort in a often cut throat business.

Tonsorial Trump

Watch out for Eric Bana

■ Eric Bana is scheduled to appear in a detective film due to appear on the big screens in April, 2021.

The film called The Dry is an adaption of Jane Harper’s book and was shot in Victoria. Jane’s book has already sold one million copies worldwide, a credit to her way with words, it seems only months ago Jane was a feature writer with rhe Herald Sun.

Birthday boy Cliff

Cliff has sold in excess of 250 million records worldwide increasing his bank balance by $90 million UK. Have a good one, Harry.

95 years in the making

■ In 1925 in downtown Nashville a local radio station programmed a square dance program that eventually became The Grand Old Opry.

Earlier this month the Grand Old Opry celebrated its 95th anniversary.

Over the years the likes of Hank Williams, Dolly Parton, Keith Urban, Garth Brookes, Johnny Cash, to just a few have performed before a live audience that still goes to air around America every Saturday night. It is a worldwide musical institution.

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not in Blu-Rays and DVDs THE BOYS IN THE BAND (2020/MA15+/NETFLIX): Set in New York in 1968 at a birthday party, tempers fray and true selves are revealed when a heterosexual is accidentally invited to a gay party, and as a game gets out of control, the evening is thrown into turmoil revealing unspoken feelings and buried truths.

Based on the play by Mart Crowley and the subsequent 1970 motion picture directed by Oscar winner William Friedkin, what was once a controversial and savage depiction into this world of this gay group of friends in an era of forbidden gay love, now 50 years later seems tame and formulaic, however, its biting impact for the most part remains intact thanks to strong performances from the award winning Broadway ensemble cast that includes "Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons and "Star Trek" star Zachary Quinto, along with Matt Bomer, Charlie Carver, Andrew Rannells, Robin de Jesus and Brian Hutchison.

Well made and competently directed, and primarily set within the confines of a New York terrace apartment, despite any flaws, it still brims with a vibrant, raw and blistering life, and even though the 1970 film directed by William Friedkin with Kenneth Nelson, Frederick Combs, Cliff Gorman and Leonard Frey offers a much more tightly gripping, darkly decadent and scathingly gutsy depiction, this alternate gay take on "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" is still nonetheless a fierce and intensely vitriolic experience, and a party you won't want to miss. Stars: ***1/2 BLACK WATER: ABYSS (2020/M/DVD, Blu-Ray, Google Play & AppleTV): Horror-drama starring Luke Mitchell, Jessica McNamee, Amali Golden and Anthony J. Sharpe of a group of friends who go exploring in a remote cave system in Northern Australia and find themselves trapped and threatened by a hungry crocodile.

Tiresome retread of an overused premise and numerous crocodile creature features before it, but have been done far better, most notably 1987s "Dark Age" with John Jarratt, 1999s "Lake Placid" with Bridget Fonda, 2007s "Rogue" with Radha Mitchell, 2018s "The Pool," and an alligator in 2019s "Crawl" with Kaya Scodelario, to name a few, this latest edition to the creature feature genre is driven by unimaginative and uninspired direction by Andrew Traucki, whose previous credits include the superior "Black Water" (2007), from a deplorably formulaic screenplay (by John Ridley and Sarah Smith).

Primarily set in a studio tank, for the most part this delivers lacklustre unbelievably dumb characters (including a pregnant woman), bland and ineffective performances and without much, if any, worthwhile energy or tension throughout, and as for the "blink or you'll miss it" crocodile itself, he's about as scary as a daddy-long-legs spider in a bathtub, and you could be easily forgiven for cheering him on to make it all the more interesting, and the end result is a soggy, waterlogged subterranean pot-boiler with about as much bite as a toothless tiger.

Stars: ** DES (2020/M/ 3 Episodes/STAN): Compelling three part mini-series set in 1983 based on the true story of Scottish serial killer Dennis Nilsen, who is arrested after the discovery of human remains which have blocked a drain near his London home.

Beginning with his arrest, David Tennant is beyond eerily chilling as one of the most notorious series killers in British criminal history, delivering a finely tuned razor sharp but darkly unnerving and calculated award worthy performance of cold calm and frighteningly undisturbed menace as killer Dennis Nilsen, as the police slowly unravel the brutal proceedings and the body count rises, and is aided with a tremendously solid performance by Daniel Mays as Detective Chief Inspector Peter Jays who leads the case and is ultimately caught between political bureaucracy and his loyalty to the families of the victims, along with Jason Watkins as Nilsen biographer, Brian Masters.

Superbly co-written and directed by Lewis Arnold, and incorporating real news footage of the period on the case, David Tennant's resemblance to the actual serial killer is startlingly uncanny, and as the rising tensions and confrontations between Tennant and Mays play out from the arrest to the courtroom, you are constantly reminded how well written, highly intelligent, thought provoking, terrifying and non-sensationalist this subtly exceptional mini-series, and as for David Tennant, just like Richard Attenborough's performance as British serial killer John Reginald Christie in 1971s searing "10 Rillington Place," it is a story and performance once experienced, never forgotten.

Stars: ***½ - James Sherlock

Rourke’s Reviews

● A terrified resident tries to make contact with other survivors in the zombie thriller #Alive, now streaming on Netflix.

The Devil All The Time ■ (MA). 138 minutes. Now streaming on Netflix.

Four years after his intense, brilliantly compelling true-life drama Christine was criminally overlooked by the Academy (in particularly Rebecca Hall's stunning lead performance), writer/director Antonio Campos returns with The Devil All The Time, a grim viewing experience that fits in perfectly with the film-maker's body of work.

There are many plots running through its narrative (set between 1945 and 1965), but the main one centres on Arvin Russell (Tom Holland), a young man from a small Ohio town who has seen a lot of pain and death in his life, where fervent religious faith seems to entwine with the darkest aspects of human nature, leading to numerous moments of mental disintegration and distress for many of the characters involved.

Campos has been a fascinating director since turning heads with the disturbing and prophetic Afterschool in 2008, then continuing to examine people's psychological fragility, and how society can shape or destroy an individual's viewpoint or sense of self-worth, in Simon Killer (2012) and the aforementioned Christine. A fantastic cast (alongside Holland) includes Haley Bennett, Jason Clarke, Robert Pattinson, Bill Skarsgard, and Riley Keough, while special mention must also go to cinematographer Lol Crawley (45 Years, Vox Lux) for the potent, atmospheric imagery. While probably Campos' most accessible project to date, this will still not be a film for everyone, but this is a dark journey very much worth taking.

RATING - ****

#Alive

■ (MA). 98 minutes. Now streaming on Netflix.

With a US. remake already completed and waiting for release, #Alive arrives with expectations, and while the film does offer solid (and unintentionally relevant) entertainment, it doesn't quite reach the heights it could have.

Yoo Ah-in (who headlined the Award-winning Burning) stars as Oh Joon-woo, a spoiled young man who lives with his mother and is obsessed with online video games.

One morning his gaming is interrupted by noises outside his apartment building, and to Oh's horror he sees crazed, infected people running around attacking innocent civilians, incidents that are also being covered by the news on TV. Bunkering in to avoid infection, Oh realises after several days that he is going to run out of supplies, but hope arrives in the form of Kim Yoo-bin (Park Shin-hye), a young woman who lives in the building across the street.

What hurts #Alive the most is the complete lack of character foundation afforded to Oh early on, who is barely onscreen before the mayhem ensues, so it takes time to care about his plight, and for Yoo's performance to fully take hold.

Faring better is Park, who is given more to work with, so delivers a more well-rounded turn.

Co-writer/director Jo Il-hyeong handles the zombie action well, and gives viewers a twist or two, ones that should be spotted pretty easily.

While it is no Train To Busan, #Alive is compact, lively fun, but one hopes the first-act flaws are rectified in the remake.

No St Kilda Fest ■ The February 2021 St Kilda Festival has been cancelled by the organisers with a statement that reads: “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we bring you the news that the Festival will not go ahead due to risks and uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We can't wait to see you when we return in February 2022.”

New for Destiny ■ Husband and wife duo Destiny Band Oz have released a new single Ray of Hope that's taken from their award-winning album called Changes.

It is a simple yet inspirational song of keeping hope in dark times and how your friends can help you through, say Thomas and Tessa Libreri.

AC/DC now in coin ■ Legenderay Aussie rockers AC/DC have partnered with the Royal Australian Mint for a collection of coins that commemorate milestone anniversaries of six of the band's album releases.

It's 45 years since the iconic rock band put out their debut album High Voltage and the coin release is sure to be another hit for collectors and fans alike - Rob Foenander ● Tom Lewis will continue to co-host the K Rock 95.5 breakfast show as well as taking on the Assistant Content Director for the Geelong station.

Innovative growing partnership ■ I'm old enough to remember days when admitting to having read Mary McCarthy's then-banned book The Group would raise an audible titter.

But these days the term also refers to an innovative grape-growing partnership and wine brand that harnesses the collective skills, quality and expertise of around 100 grape growers and their families.

This allows The Group to showcase some of high quality wines from some of Australia's leading wine regions, including McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills.

The Group helps to maintain the initial goal of supporting the livelihood of the growers, and ensuring their vineyards thrive and grow.

As the daughter of a grape grower, The Group winemaker, Marnie Roberts, spent her early years amongst her family's vines.

"The collective knowledge, passion and experience that's passed down through generations of growers is really special," she said.

"These growers are experts on the fruit they grow, and what grapes make the finest wines possible."

English Derby winner on top

■ Last year's English Derby winner, Anthony Van Dyck, is being quoted on early TAB markets as equal favourite for the Stella Artois Caulfield Cup to be run this Saturday.

He has been set a task in both the Caulfield Cup and Melbourne Cups with the impost of 58.5 kilos for victory.

He is all class, but with being born in Northern Hemisphere time, he is younger than most, but he is in the right team, and hard to beat.

He is in the care of the doyen of Group One winners, Aidan O'Brien, the champion Irish trainer, who certainly knows what is required to win a big race.

He has won more Group One races than any other trainer in the world today.

I admit it is a big task for Anthony Van Dyck, especially if he is drawn wide out in the Caulfield Cup with his big weight with only 400 metres to the first turn, and not long after up the hill towards the 1400 metres.

He is so good you can't leave him out, despite the weight of around nine stone three pounds in the old.

Australia's top mare, and possibly the best horse in the nation, Verry Elleegant, is the one that I have been waiting for, hoping that her trainer, Chris Waller, would run her in the Caulfield Cup. I have always felt that she was the ideal horse and can handle all conditions and will be suited by the distance of the Caulfield Cup over 2400 metres.

A lot of racegoers, including a few racing journalists knocked her run in the George Main Stakes at Randwick, but I felt that they must have watched the race with their eyes shut.

She missed the start slightly, then hampered at the 1200 metres, and her rider and one of the best in the business, James McDonald, got lost, and she couldn't get a crack at them, and became unbalanced in the last 300 metres.

Since joining the Chris Waller stables when she transferred from Darren Weir, she has mended her ways a bit, under the guidance of the top trainer.

I will say however that Darren did a great job when he had her, and Waller to acknowledge that.

She is a versatile mare, that can sit on the pace, which I feel is a great advantage in a pressure race like the Caulfield Cup, as the pace is generally on all the way over the 2400 metre trip.

She is all class, and is my pick to win the big one, the Cup, coming up this Saturday, stick with her.

On the next line is one that will be there when the whips are cracking, and that is the Danny O'Brien trained, Order of the Garter, an Irish bred horse that has joined the strong O'Brien team.

Since joining the O'Brien team, the son of the immortal Gailileo, an English Derby winner, he has been a model of consistency, having run three seconds at his last three runs, before his big win at Caulfield.

Ridden by top rider Damien Oliver, he then came out and won in good style in the MRC Foundation Cup over 2000 metres at Caulfield.

● Verry Elleegant.Racing Photos.

He is yet another hard to beat, and the way the O'Brien team, with the likes of Russian Camelot and Vow and Declare right there, he is in for a big season.

An interesting runner will be Finche, yet again preparing to have another go down the track in the Melbourne Cup, come the first Tuesday in November. He ran fourth a couple of years ago, and about sixth the year after.

Finche is starting to hit form at the right time, with a good third in the Chelmsford Stakes in Sydney over 1600m metres behind Mister Sea Wolf and Yulong Prince.

I think the Melbourne Cup is his main mission, but he getting on in years, now seven yearsold, and many that age will find hard in a race like the Caulfield Cup, and will be suited better in the one come early November.

Another good galloper who will be right in

Ted Ryan

the firing line with a bit of luck, is the Hawkes Team trained galloper, Master of Wine, the early Caulfield Cup favourite.

At his third run up after a spell, he finished fifth in the Turnbull Stakes behind Verry Elleegant, finishing only a length off the first four placegetters.

Going back to April, he finished a good fourth behind Addeybb.

Since returning he has had no luck in his races, and the stable have a high opinion of him. He is being quoted at the moment around the $20 mark, which is good value. With an ounce of luck in running, he can win, or be placed.

On the same line of betting is the imported galloper, Mugatoo, with leading Sydney trainer, Kris Lees, who went down narrowly to Mirage Dancer in the Metropolitan.

He is smart, and the distance of the Metropolitan was the same as the Caulfield Cup distance of 2400 metres.

Prior to being runner-up in the big one, he had strung together three wins on end including the Newcastle Cup at his latest outing in good style. One to keep your eye on is the international horse, Buckhurst, in the care of the young Irish trainer, Joseph O'Brien, son of the Aidan O'Brien, who holds the record of the most Group One wins in the world.

Joseph won the Melbourne Cup, back in 2017, with Rekindling. Buckhurst has won four of his nine starts with four wins and three seconds, being by the sire, Australia from Artful.

The South Australian galloper, Dalasan, ran an impressive fourth in the Turnbull Stakes, and is smart, but I feel that the 2400 metres of the Cup, under pressure might see him out.

Others with chances include, last year's Melbourne Cup winner and placed in last year's Caulfield Cup in, Vow and Declare, to be ridden

by Damien Oliver, the international galloper, Dashing Willoughby, to be ridden by Michael Walker.

Looking for a Professional to run the show?

The distance of the Cup is right up his alley, and one that will be in the firing line for some time.

He, like Verry Elleegant, will stay as long as your mother-in-law.

Lochinvar Art: Victoria Cup triumph ■ Trained to the minute, driven to perfection and a deserving winner of the $300,000 (Group 1) Prydes Easifeed Victoria Cup at Tabcorp Park Melton on Saturday – that’s Shepparton trainer/ driver David Moran’s 4Y0 Art Major-Ponder In Paris entire Lochinvar Art. Raced by Kevin Gordon, Lochinvar Art (gate four) wasn’t pushed at the start as polemarker Balraj lead easily for John Caldow from Alta Orlando (gate 5), Cash N Flow (6) three wide and King Of Swing trailing him from outside the front line before easing four wide with a rush to take over in the back straight on the first occasion after a lead time 42.5 seconds.

Lochinvar Art slotted in nicely three back in the running line being trailed by Rishi, Hurricane Harley and Cruz Bromac, while Bling It On slotted in three back the markers ahead of Code Black and Code Bailey, with Tam Major at the tail.

Set alight approaching the bell, Lochinvar Art moved outside the leader and was gifted his back when Balraj dropped back sharply supposedly not handling the Tabcorp Park track.

This caused those on the inside to be checked allowing those in the moving line to move a spot closer.

With the speed a cracker in the final circuit, Lochinvar Art eased off the back of King Of Swing on the final bend to issue a challenge with the pair drawing clear to fight out the finish.

Gaining the upper hand as the winning post came into view, Lochinvar Art in quarters of 29.5, 27.6, 28,6 and 26.9 for the final mile scored by 7.1 metres, with Bling It On using the sprint lane to finish third 12.3 metres away. Rishi followed up last week’s sprint victory with a commendable fourth .6 metres back. The mile rate a new track record of 1-51.4.

■ Terang trainer/driver Mattie Craven was overcome with emotion following the superb victory of 3Y0 Skyvalley-Sweetasay filly Pink Galahs against her older and more seasoned rivals in the $50,000 1700 metre Aldebaran Park (Group 1) Bill Collins Trotters Sprint.

Raced by Caleb and Laura Lewis and Laura’s dad Bryan Healy of Maoris Idol fame, Pink Galahs possied one/one from gate two as the hot favourite Dance Craze retained the front running from the pole, with Red Hot Tooth (gate three) moving outside the leader.

Angling three wide on the home turn, Pink Galahs ran home brilliantly to prevail by a head in a thrilling finish, returning a mile rate of 154.3 (last half mile 56.7 – quarter 28.5). Tough Monarch (one/three) off a three wide trail on the back of McLovin (one/two) which moved forward passing the judge at the bell was third 1.9 metres away a nose in advance of Wobelee which used the sprint lane off the back of the leader.

Pink Galahs has a strain of the Great Maoris Idol in her.

Blousing last lap ■ Popular Maryborough enhanced its reputation as "home of the trotter" when six of the nine events on Monday October 5 were for the squaregaiters, five of which were heats of the Aldebaran Park Platinum Home Grown Classic.

Heat one for 2Y0 Fillies commenced the program, with victory going to Brent Lilley's Kyvalleyhoneybunny, a daughter of Skyvalley and Kyvalley Café bred and raced by Jim Connelly. Driven by Chris Alford, Kyvalley Honeybunny after being slowly away from a solo second line draw settled six back the markers. Moving to be one/two in the last lap, Alford eased her three wide on the final bend and she ran home best to blouse a death-seating last lap Imasocialbutterfly by a head, with Mustang Kelly (three back the markers) 44.8 metres away in third place. The mile rate 2-02.1.

■ Heat two saw the nominal Redwood favourite Evas Image (Father Patrick-Shes An Image) lead throughout for Chris Lang to register an untouched 2.5 metre margin in 2-03.4 over Sheza Pleasure which moved to race exposed at the bell after breaking shortly after the start.

Senitas Strength (one/one at bell) was third a half head back.

Heat three went the way of Marg Lee's Keayang Xena (Father Patrick-Keayang Yan-

with Len Baker kee) with son Jason in the sulky, leading all of the way from gate five to easily account for Anton Golino's Amour Maternal which faced the open on debut, with Ima Destroyer (four back the markers) third. The margins 4.1 X 1.2 metres in a rate of 2-04.9.

Heat one for the Colts & Geldings was taken out by the Emma Stewart (trained) and Jodi Quinlan (driven) Utopia, a Trixton-Gluteus Maximus colt. Despite racing uncovered from gate six outside semi-stablemate Illawong Barma, Utopia scored by 6 metres in 2-01.9 from the leader, with Kyvalley Hacienda 10.6 metres back in third place after following the pacemaker.

■ It was another Keayang victory in Heat two, when Keayang Ninja (Jason Lee for brother Paddy) landed the prize. Easily crossed from the pole by both Aldebaran Zeus (gate seven) and Sweet On You which went into a wild gallop shortly after, Keayang Ninja a Wishing Stone-Another Clare gelding received the run of the race trailing and when Aldebaran Zeus shifted ground on the home turn, dashed through along the sprint lane to register a 6.2 metre margin in 2-01.2. Dont Care was third 9.7 metres back.

■ The TAB Long May We Play Trotters Mobile over 2190 metres saw the much improved 6Y0 Down Under Muscles-Walara Bow mare Sarahleonie Bow bring up a hat-trick of wins.

Trained and driven by Armstrong based Jason Ainsworth, Sarahleonie Bow from outside the front line received a charmed trip one/one and after easing around the leaders on straightening, scored by a half head from Beefour Bacardi (three wide last lap) and Birthday Suit who was 1.1 metres away after being held up and shifting down to the sprint lane in the straight. The mile rate 2-03.2.

Cranny connection ■ At Cranbourne on Sunday, Parwan trainer/ driver Jodi Quinlan's Muscle Hill-Lunar Landing filly Illawong Stardust was an unbelievable victor of the 2080 metre Aldebaran Park Starlet 3Y0 Trotters Mobile. Breaking gate long before the start was effected, Illawong Stardust must have given the leader Imamaorijet at least 50 metres by the time she regained her composure looking completely out of the race.

Gradually making ground to be three back the markers racing for the bell, Illawong Stardust was eased away from the inside to trail Tailored Elegance (one/two) three wide on the home turn and when taken wide in the straight, Illawong Stardust finished full of running to record a brilliant 7.1 metre margin over Imamaorijet, returning a mile rate of 2-02.7. Former pacer Queen Of Crime (one/one at bell) was third a head away.

Dazzling debut ■ Echuca raced on Tuesday and Lemnos (Goulburn Valley) trainer/driver Danny Ferris produced a 4Y0 Yankee Spider-Lombo Luvbird gelding by the name of Yellow Stone to snare the Alabar Bloodstock Maiden Pace over 2160 metres when making his debut.

Bottled up four back the markers from inside the second line as Justblingit Cresco led from gate two, Yellow Stone was extricated away from the inside in the last lap to make the home

■ Shelbourne training duo Kate Hargreavesand Alex Ashwood also produced a first starter named Tay Tay, a Rock N Roll Heaven-Jets Girl filly to lead throughout from the pole in the Echuca Moama Print & Design 2Y0 Maiden Pace over 1755 metres. Travelling beautifully,Tay Tay driven by Alex scored easily by 11.7 metres in advance of Twisted Bliss which trailed in 2-02.3. Okinawa Beach was third 8.4 metres away from three back the markers at the bell.

■ Elmore trainer Keith Cotchin's honest 5Y0 Western Terror-Bebop gelding Brackenreid returned to the winners list for the first time since April when victorious in the Moama Bowling Club Pace over 1755 metres. Driven by Ryan Duffy, Brackenreid came from last to make the final bend very wide in defeating Ideal Suspect ahead of him by a half neck in a rate of 1-57.9.

Schouten Island (one/one - three wide last lap) was third a half neck back.

■ Ardmona duo Donna Castles (trainer) and Doc Wilson (driver) were successful with 7Y0 Straphanger-Golden Antigone mare Antiope in the 2130 metre Niota Bloodstock Trotters Handicap. Beginning best to lead from outside the front line (there were only three off the front), Wilson adopted "catch me if you can tactics" and never looked like being beaten, greeting the judge 13.6 metres clear of Tibur which trailed. Thirty metre equal backmarker Starlight Storm was third 2.7 metres back after racing exposed for the final circuit.

Double Day ■ Wednesday was once again double day, with Horsham racing in the day and Bendigo at night.

The Horsham meeting belonged to Kate Hargreaves and Alex Ashwood who landed half of the program.

Four year old Skyvalley-Aldebaran Sunset gelding Aldebaran Sundown started proceedings by winning the Speeding Spur @ Woodlands Stud Trotters Handicap over 2200 metres.

Stepping safely from the pole, Aldebaran Sundown was allowed to find his rhythm, easing away from the markers to race exposed outside Eoghan Omalille which had crossed Dream Over.

Joining the leader approaching the final bend, Aldebaran Sundown raced clear in the straight to score by 8.8 metres in advance of Downtown Miss (one/two) in a rate of 2-03.7. The favourite Love The Aces was third 6.3 metres back after using the sprint lane on turning.

■ Next to arrive was in-form Betterthan Cheddar-Feel The Magic filly Roquefort Cheese in the 1700 metre Carbine Chemicals Pace. Going forward from gate five to park in the open momentarily before striding clear at the bell.

Roquefort Cheese cruised to the wire 3.9 metres in advance of Tinge Of Fear (four back the markers) to be outside the winner on the home turn and Irishmurphy which followed the runner up throughout finishing 3.8 metres back. The mile rate 1-56.6.

■ Betterthancheddar-Warp Speed 4Y0 gelding Bottle Rock owned in South Australia, was much to slick for his rivals in the 1700 metre Congratulations Micky B & John C Pace. Beginning swiftly from gate four to cross Kempseys Delight (gate 3) prior to the bell, Bottle Rock was rated to perfection, running out a 3.8 metre winner in 1-59.3 over Kempseys Delight which used the sprint lane to no avail, with Ideal T J third 3 metres back after racing exposed.

■ Leading owners Merv and Meg Butterworth were victorious with their Grant Campbell trained and driven ex-Kiwi 4Y0 Mach ThreeWell Hereshoping gelding Duty Bound who landed the HRV - $11,000 For PCFA Pace over 1700 metres in a rate of 1-57.6. Restrained from gate six to settle three back in the moving line, Duty Bound followed Ghanasuya three wide ahead of him forward approaching the final bend and finished with a wet sail to blouse him by a

■ There's an old adage in racing that when your luck is in, everything turns to gold and at a very wet Bendigo, Ararat's Michael Bellman presently on a roll, was successful with Pegasus SpurFleetwood Blue filly Jazspur in the 2150 metre TAB Long May We Play 3Y0 Trotters Mobile.

Beginning badly from gate three, Jazspur by the time she settled was a conservative 30 metres off the leader Bellmac Bambi facing a daunting task.

Gradually making ground to eventually catch up, Jazspur continued the effort going three wide solo at the bell, circling her rivals with ease to dash clear into the straight and produce an outstanding performance to win by 1.8 metres from Quake Proof which followed her home. Well fancied Itsallandover used the sprint lane off the back of the leader after being held up slightly on turning for third 2 metres away. Raced and bred by the Hulls from Ararat, Jazspur returned a mile rate of 2-04.1.

■ Shepparton's Kima Frenning landed the Race Services Pace over 2150 metres with Bopper Jet, a 8Y0 Kiwo bred Jeremes Jet-Big Bopper gelding who has only been in the stable a short time. Starting from the extreme draw, Bopper Jet driven by Greg Sugars spent the first half of the race at the rear before going forward at the bell to park in the open for the final lap. Surging clear at the straight entrance, Bopper Jet recorded a 2.3 metre margin over Cool Rocking Daddy off the back of the leader Hit The Sky in a slick 1-55.2. Eljays Mystery (one/one last lap) was third 6.3 metres back.

Miles away

■ Thursday's Kilmore meeting was great for Monegeetta father and son Marty and David Miles.

Twoforsixty settled four back in the moving line from gate three on the second line before going forward to race in the open for the last lap. Taking over from leader Adam Crocker on the home turn, Twoforsixty held an advantage to the wire, registering a strong 9.9 metre victory over Soho Whisper (one/one) in a rate of 1-59.8. Azza ran on late from a mile back for third a head away. Art Of Sheng Li first up since February was given every chance from gate three (one/one) and when eased three wide on the home turn, ran home nicely to blouse a death seating Stunning I Am by 4.7 metres in 158.7. Shes A Hovercraft (three back the markers) was third after using the sprint lane. Safe Jewel was taken back to the tail from outside the front line, weaving a passage between runners to ease wide in the straight to score by 4.6 metres from Jets Art (one/one) and After The Chase (one/two) which appeared to cop a buffeting from the winner in the straight finishing a neck away. The mile rate 2-01.6.
