Sunday service for 800 bus

?Cardinia Shire Council is seeking expressions of interest from enthusiastic local residents to join the Mt Shamrock Environment Review Committee for the Holcim Mt Shamrock Quarry in Pakenham. The Mt Shamrock Environment Review Committee was established as part of the quarry's approval process in 2006 by the Minister for Planning.

The committee provides a platform for information sharing and discussion on environmental issues and environment management arising from the operation of the quarry.

The Council is seeking to appoint three passionate community representatives to the Environment Review Committee eager to contribute to discussions about important environmental issues related to the quarry's operations. Applicants wishing to join the committee should have: ■ A genuine interest in activities at the quarry site.

■ A willingness to gain an understanding of quarry operations and processes.

■ The ability to contribute constructively to committee meetings.

■ A commitment to represent community interests and to provide feedback to the community.

■ An openness to consider the broader community's needs and look beyond personal interests.

■ A collaborative spirit.

Expressions of interest will close on Friday, November 22.

● Melbourne City Fan Festival returns to Casey Fields.

After a two-year break, the Melbourne City FC Fan Festival is back. An afternoon of action-packed fun and exclusive access to City stars will take place from 1.30pm-3.30pm on Saturday (Nov. 16) at Casey Fields. This is a chance to meet City’s A-League Men’s team, grab autographs, snap photos, and share a memory or two with the players. There will be a City Football Schools taster session, friends can be challenged in giant games of Jenga and Connect Four, and attendees can test their aim with inflatable soccer darts, or show their colours at the face painting and kids’ colouring station. A DJ will keep the energy up with everyone’s favourite tracks.

There will be free giveaways and the opportunity to snag the latest City 2024/25 memberships and merchandise. There will be an on-site canteen and food trucks, and free parking. The Melbourne City A-League Women’s team will face off against the Central Coast Mariners from 4pm. Tickets for the match are available from Ticketbooth.

■ A Dandenong-based community group has welcomed the upgraded timetable for the bus route between Dandenong and Chadstone.

The revised timetable for Route 800 will see Sunday service on Princes Hwy reinstated after a 33-year break. The number of Saturday trips will triple and buses will run later at night.

FixDandyBuses Convenor Peter Parker said the extended seven-day timetable would better meet modern travel and working patterns, particularly on weekends.

He said that long operating hours and frequent service were key to making buses a useable alternative to driving.

Major job and shopping destinations to gain include Dandenong Plaza, Chadstone Shopping Centre, IKEA, M-City and other Princes Hwy retail. Monash University students travelling to Noble Park North would also benefit.

Funded in the May Victorian state budget after a two-year community campaign, the new Route 800 times will commence on Sunday November 24.

Mr Parker praised Public Transport Minister Gabrielle Williams and the Department of Transport and Planning for starting the upgrade in time for the busy Christmas shopping season.

● Gabrielle Williams and Eden Foster join in the 800 bus celebrations.

The Walk Against Family Violence ✔ will start from Dandenong Market at 11.15am on Tuesday (Nov. 19). Attendees can walk to Harmony Square in solidarity against family violence, and hear from Simone O’Brien, victim survivor of domestic violence. Simone will talk about her experience, and how she now travels the country encouraging others to report all incidents of violence.

Nominations for the Casey Com✔ munity Awards 2025 are now open to all Casey residents. There are multiple awards for individuals and groups.

■ The City of Greater Dandenong is recognised as Australia’s most culturally diverse community, with residents coming from at least 154 different nations, according to a Council representative.

“With that diversity comes an eclectic mix of businesses (almost 20,000 at last count) – making our city a thriving economic hub with opportunities for all.

“Last year Greater Dandenong’s economic output was $58.23 billion and regional exports were valued at $29.72 billion. These figures show why investment in this region is strong. Other factors, such as our location just 35km south east of Melbourne’s CBD and the fact our city is well connected to railway, key arterial roads and motorways, easily linking businesses to ports, airports and the city, are attractive to investors,” the representative said.

Many happy returns

● Tom McIntosh (centre) at Return-It, Mornington.

■ Eastern Victoria MLC Tom McIntosh says that the Mornington Peninsula Shire is among the highest local government areas statewide for total numbers of containers recycled, with 27,117,810 containers returned in the past 12 months.

This has put $2,711,781 back in the pockets of local residents and community groups.

Mr McIntosh visited the CDS Vic Depot in Mornington, run by Return-It, to see how the depot works to recycle containers and save them from landfill.

Victorians are recycling an average of 145 containers per return, with more than 26 million containers deposited the week following the AFL Grand Final – the biggest week of returns on record. Before CDS Vic was launched, drink containers were one of the most littered items in Victoria.

Pride in local students

■ Cranbourne MLA Pauline Richards has told State Parliament about “extraordinary, fresh perspectives and enthusiasm” that has inspired her when she have taken on work experience students.

“Not only have I had topnotch work experience students, who of course are typical of the topnotch students of Cranbourne, but two of them have been school captains,” Ms Richards said.

“I think it is no coincidence that they might have done work experience with me when they were in Year 10 and they have gone on to be school captains at their respective and different schools, but they are also just completing VCE. “I am going to start by saying how terrific Vasu Kaushal and Iman Hadari were – both are school captains of their respective schools and both right now are deeply conscious of the exam tasks ahead of them.

“It was always wonderful to have these clever, sparkling and thoughtful students in the office.

“But with those two I have really enjoyed watching their growth.

“Sarah Maur, Olivia Prasad, Asha Chu, Lucksy Lorinston, Sarah Brown and Ozlem Coruk have all come from a rich tapestry of backgrounds that has really reflected the culture of Cranbourne, and they have brought their unique perspectives to our team.

“I think others have also acknowledged that although they came in to do work experience in my office, we learned so

Local Theatre Blitz

■ German bombers devastated British cities during the 1940–1941 Blitz, killing over 40,000 people. Bombed heavily every night, Londoners made up half the deaths.

Evacuation transported 600,000 children from London to the countryside in three days.

This is the background to writer-director Steve McQueen’s film Blitz.

Saoirse Ronan plays Rita, a single mother living in London's East End with her multiracial child, George (Elliot Heffernan), and Rita’s father, Gerald (Paul Weller).

George, evacuated to the country, leaps off the train and begins a long journey home.

At first glance, it seems McQueen is channeling British war films such as Mrs Miniver or Hope and Glory, films showing plucky Londoners resisting the German onslaught, coping stoically with sacrifice, danger, and death.

While those films skated over divisions in the class system, gender divide, and racism that characterised London society, McQueen highlights these rifts by presenting a sequence of vignettes.

McQueen constructs a vivid, cosmopolitan London with pubs, jazz, and nightclubs through episodic flash forwards and flashbacks.

McQueen then shows the Blitz's full horrors, brought home by the urgency of the struggle of rescues, firefighting, and desperate scenes of people seeking shelter pushed back by pompous officials as George makes his way home.

He is helped by a Nigerian ARP warden (Benjamin Clémentine), extolling kindness and black pride to George.

George encounters a Dickensian crime gang led menacingly by Stephen Graham and Kathy Burke.

In a flashback, McQueen shows Café de Paris revelers dancing to a big band led by an effervescent Cab Calloway-style band leader (Devon Mackenzie-Smith).

McQueen follows with a macabre scene with the gang prizing valuables from the bodies of the dead revellers before George escapes their clutches.

With visceral scenes and great performances, Blitz is a heartrending portrait of a city under siege.

Blitz is now screening as part of the British Film Festival. For cinemas and times, visit britishfilmfestival.com.au - Review by Kathryn Keeble

Jennifer’s award

■ Congratulations to Girls Act Good founder Jennifer Monk, who was surprised at the Pink Carpet Gala at the Sydney Web Fest when announced as winner of the Michael Ajakwe Award for Innovation in Filmmaking.

Jennifer's award was for her significant contribution to the film scene, including her work on Slightly Cracked and previous entries such as Last Breath.

Melbourne-based Girls Act Good was created in 2013 by Jennifer, and is a collective of creators, writers, writers, actors, directors and producers committed to cutting edge work that packs an emotional punch, for and by women.

Jennifer started GAG to create roles for all the talented women she kept seeing competing for too few roles during her time as Company Director in a production house.

Jennifer is interested in exploring character's personalities, stories and truths instead of focusing on their gender in the creative collective.

GAG facilitates monthly moved readings and speciality workshops for its members, and produces film and theatre for the public. girlsactgood.com - Cheryl Threadgold

SISTER ACT

■ Based on the 1992 film, Sister Act tells the story of lounge singer and gangster moll Deloris van Cartier, played by musical diva Casey Donovan.

Deloris unwittingly witnesses a murder carried out by her gangster boyfriend, Curtis (James Bryers).

Placed in witness protection, Deloris hides out in a convent, Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow.

Urged on by Mother Superior, an acerbic Genevieve Lemon, Deloris, now Sister Mary Clarence, steps in to revive the nun’s flagging choir.

Throw in 70s soul and disco-based musical numbers, slapstick humour, and some crazy antics, including bumbling henchmen and an upcoming visit by the Pope.

The strong cast looks like they are having a blast delivering first-rate performances and lifting the simple plot.

As Mother Superior, Lemon is an able foil, wrangling the nuns and Donovan with exasperation.

Rhonda Burchmore is a blast as Sister Mary Lazarus, brightening her scenes with comic relief, rapping in Latin, and delivering tongue-incheek lines such as “I love the sweet sensation of extreme flagellation!”

Bianca Bruce is terrific as the whacky, chirpy Sister Mary Patrick, and Sophie Montague warms the heartstrings as Sister Mary Robert.

Raphael Wong gives a delightful performance as the likeable Lieutenant Eddie Souther, sweet on Deloris.

Damien Bermingham adds his comic talent as Monsignor O’Hara.

With her mighty vocals and a powerful stage presence, this is Donovan’s show.

It is hard to believe that this is Donovan’s first starring role.

She is a natural, handling the challenge with an upbeat dynamism.

Morgan Large’s set and costumes and Tim Mitchell’s dazzling lighting add pizzazz to the show.

Bathed in a sparkly glitter ball glow, Sister Act is light and bright, feelgood and fun.

It leaves you with a smile and a skip in your step.

The Cripple of Inishmaan

■ The Strathmore Theatrical Arts Group (STAG) presents Martin McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan from November 21 - 30 at the Strathmore Community Theatre, 50 Loeman St, Strathmore.

Directed by Matthew Freeman, The Cripple of Inishmaan is set on the small Aran Islands community of Inishmaan off the Western Coast of Ireland in 1934, where the inhabitants are excited to learn of a Hollywood film crew’s arrival in neighbouring Inishmore to make a documentary about life on the islands.

‘Cripple’ Billy Claven, eager to escape the gossip, poverty and boredom of Inishmaan, vies for a part in the film, and to everyone’s surprise, the orphan and outcast gets his chance ... or so some believe.

This Tony Award nominated show wittily exposes the multiple layers of myth that surround Ireland and examines how fast lies and gossip can travel in even the most remote communities.

Performance Season: November 21 - 30 (Please note: Nov. 23 and 24 are both 2pm shows, with no evening show on Nov. 23).

Venue: Strathmore Community Theatre, 50 Loeman St, Strathmore.

Melb. At The Movies

● Ross Campbell ■ What do you know about Melbourne and its place in the history of movie film over the last century and even further back? Confessed Certified Cinephile Ross Campbell records a mountain of wealth in his 440-page book Melbourne at the Movies, released at a launch at the Astor Theatre St Kilda.

To say that he fell in love with movies at the age of 16 is an understatement, as from then and over the decades he became totally immersed in film, from a young novice to professional. Truly professional in so many areas, such as an award-winning documentary director and producer/technical consultant to the Melbourne International Film Festival for three decades. A curator of music for silent film screenings and artistic director for silent film and orchestra for the Melbourne Festival of Arts and much more.

His volume reflects on film in Melbourne as early as 1896 when Lumiere Brothers, a film manufacturing company in Lyon France, had cinematographer M. Marius Sestier photograph the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday, November 3,1896, that was later premiered to a packed house at the Princess Theatre. Some three years later, Campbell writes of pioneering Melbourne film-making by the Salvation Army, reflecting on their brilliant foresight with their multimedia two-hour epic Soldiers of the Cross. “‘Every film is great, be it short story or magnum opus”, Campbell reminds us, as it is “… an astonishing achievement to harness the vast array of disparate talents into a vision splendid.”

It is an astonishing chronological volume, that accurately brings to the fore stories of cinema theatres that we have lost, highlighting those we still have, films glorious and not so glorious, while including many, many luminaries - some well-known, some not so well known - that have been a part of Melbourne’s and indeed the world’s, film culture over the decades.

Delve into history, savour nostalgia.

● Spiderman (Jacob McPherson) in Marvelous the Show.

Photo: Ben Dingley ■ All your Marvel Superheroes as you haven’t seen them before. An adults only performance and we soon learnt why.

Falling short of a traditional circus performance it is a comedic raunchy performance of outrageously hilarious parodies of your Marvel heroes.

The opening night at the National Theatre, St Kilda, saw several hundred look-alike Marvel Heroes appear for the red carpet spectacle before curtain up.

Whether it be a Spider Woman, a Captain America, a Lady Thor or the Black Widow and others, they all set the scene for a memorable night.

We were promised extreme music, high friction vocals, strobe lighting and nudity. We got the lot and more.

The opening scene of showgirls dressed in sexy red, white and blue outfits were all singing, all dancing and high kicking while gambolling provocatively around a muscular Captain America played by Michael Boyle who had the audience of Marvel enthusiasts screeching with excitement.

With a somewhat complex set of welldesigned staging structures that moved constantly, catering for the 20 or so scenes, we had to take a breather following several high dynamisms and fast-moving scenes, particularly the aerial work by several of the cast.

All cast were highly skilled, timing perfect in whatever role they played, whether it was on the stage floor or on the rigging, in the air or even in the magic sword thrusting box.

Too many scenes need highlighting however I must make mention of two scenes that were quite outstanding in production and choreography.

That of the Black Widow played by Megan Wonfor, who excelled in a dramatic choreographed fight scene against two Ninjas in the first act, while in the second act and close to closure, Captain America with Spider Man played by Jacob McPherson both performed naked, Super Secret Boyband, again expertly choreographed and performed using two shields to protect vital parts of their anatomy, while their close sexual bodily encounters ended with a joyous kiss.

Exit stage, hand in hand and hand on each other’s bottom cheek. It is an adult performance.

It is also a production that Samwise Holmes, Creator, Writer, Director and Producer would be well satisfied with the collaboration and support of many, bringing a different aspect to the Heroes in an inclusive way sexually.

Archives on show

■ Focus: Australian government photographers opened at the Victorian Archives Centre last Friday (Nov. 8).

Between 1939 and 1996, dozens of photographers were employed by government agencies to capture Australian culture, people, landscapes and animals.

This touring exhibition from National Archives of Australia offers a close-up look at the lives and work of those tasked with documenting the visual heritage of Australia.

The exhibition showcases images drawn from the collection of almost 11 million images held by National Archives.

National Archives Director-General Simon Froude says the exhibition challenges existing perceptions of government photography.

CENTRESTAGE LIVE IN CONCERT

■ The first time I heard Michael Cormick sing was more than 40 years ago at Carols by Candlelight in Dandenong.

We shared the stage that evening as winners of the Dandenong Eisteddfod. I remember this handsome teenager besotted me with his magnificent voice.

I am ashamed to say I didn’t hear him again until this past Monday at the Frankston Arts Centre in Centrestage with Marina Prior, and I was besotted again.

He had me at Feelin’ Good, a jazz ballad from the musical The Roar of the GreasepaintThe Smell of the Crowd.

I remember Marina as the stunningly beautiful young ingenue plucked from the Vic State Opera to star in Camelot, while I sat in the chorus watching enviously.

Marina Prior deserves every minute of her illustrious career as Australia’s ‘Leading Lady’.

In Centrestage, she blew me away with her command of so many accents executed perfectly, proving she is a consummate actress with an amazing voice that moves easily and with finesse from an operatic bel canto to a strong Broadway belt.

Michael and Marina both have impeccable comic timing and captivating chemistry. Their interacting banter is self-deprecating, funny, candid and honest, proving their humility is most sincere.

My favourite duet from Beauty and the Beast stood out for its sublime simplicity and understated artistry.

They are exquisitely supported by renowned writer and pianist Andrew Ross (Barry Humphries, Dame Edna, Moulin Rouge, Miss Saigon), but with the two powerful, full-bodied voices that Michael and Marina possess, I would have preferred a big band or orchestra.

The sound engineer is to be commended; the balance was perfect, and there were no technical mishaps.

There is no stage decoration except for an elegant grand piano and the lighting is subtle and unobtrusive.

It was unfortunate that the audience was mainly the blue rinse set. I implore young performers to catch a performance.

They would benefit so much from the wisdom Michael and Marina have to impart, acquired over many years in the arts, hearing the vocal technical prowess and seeing the confident stagecraft.

Centrestage should not be missed. It is touring metro and regional cities until December 14

“A Very Naughty Christmas was born when my friends and I all wanted to have a F.R.I.E.N.D.S style Christmas,” commented creator and producer Alex Woodward.

The show is promoted as a night of festive fun packed with stand-up, skits, parodied songs, dancing, singing, burlesque and a whole bunch of silliness, for over 18s only.

This Christmas season will also mark the show's international debut in the UK, playing at London’s Southwark Playhouse Elephant, produced by Woodward Productions in collaboration with London’s Glass Half Full Productions.

Rourke’s Reviews Hellbound

■ (MA). Six episodes. Now streaming on Netflix.

With season 2 now available, it is the perfect time to revisit (or watch for the first time) the excellent first season.

With Korean series such as Strangers From Hell, Taxi Driver, My Name, Dr Brain and Squid Game, to name a few, enthralling viewers, Hellbound is of the best to come from that country.

Based on a successful webtoon, and from director Yeon Sang-ho (The King Of Pigs, Seoul Station, Train To Busan, Psychokinesis), this immensely entertaining series uses a supernatural premise to explore some dark aspects of human nature.

Detective Jin Kyeong-hoon (Yang Ik-june, from Wilderness), along with his fellow colleagues, are baffled when they have to investigate a bizarre incident where it appears three imposing demons have brutally murdered a seemingly innocent man.

The plentiful mobile footage has gone viral, but many refuse to believe what they are watching, as the general public are constantly bombarded with fake, disingenuous posts and videos on social media.

Jeong Jin-soo (Yoo Ah-in, from #Alive, Voice Of Silence and Burning), the leader of a decade-old religious cult called The New Truth, has been warning everyone of these occurrences for years, stating that it is God dispensing justice on those who have sinned.

Following a particularly public killing (or ‘demonstration’, as it will end up being known), the world believes, and Jeong is seen by all as a messiah of sorts, and suddenly has incredible power at his fingertips.

Jin has a troubled relationship with his teenage daughter Heejeong (Lee Re), mainly due to the murder of his wife years earlier.

Also finding it difficult to accept what is happening is lawyer Min Hye-jin (Kim Hyun-joo), who truly wants to represent those who are vilified and persecuted without any reasonable evidence being presented.

More characters will be introduced as the story takes a number of twists and turns.

In a current climate where people are plagued by uncertainty and insecurity, overwhelmed by a non-stop stream of information, trying to discern what is true and what are outright lies, and seeing dangerous fringe groups attain a destructive, growingly louder voice while a once-in-a-century pandemic has battered society, Hellbound couldn’t arrive at a better time.

Yeon could be seen as the Ko-

rean George A. Romero (Dawn Of The Dead), using a genre framework to deliver biting social commentary, and that is again on show here, and could be a companion piece with his savage animated drama, The Fake (2013).

Setting the story over the next five years is a clever move, as Yeon wants to show us a world that could come to fruition, one of our own making.

Elements are reminiscent of the classic Death Note films and anime.

The acting is superb, with everyone making the most of their roles.

Production values are exceptional, on par with what’s seen on the big screen. After Peninsula, the filmmaker’s disappointing follow-up to Train To Busan, Yeon Sang-ho returned to form in a big way with Hellbound, which is wild, riveting, imaginative, and thought-provoking.

RATING - ****½

Midnight Mass

■ (MA). Seven episodes. Now streaming on Netflix.

Though it doesn’t really bring anything new to the genre, and the plot turns are too easy to see coming, this series from film-maker Mike Flanagan (whose latest King adaptation, The Life Of Chuck, will arrive early next year) still manages to engage and absorb, thanks to the director’s genuine love for place, character, and most of all, the genre itself. The story unfolds on the quiet (some might saying decaying) Crockett Island, home to a community which has relied on fishing as its trade for decades.

Many have left the island for the mainland, so the remaining locals are surprised when a new, younger priest, Father Paul (Hamish Linklater) arrives on their doorstep, replacing the dementia-ridden Monsignor Pruitt who had led the townsfolk’s Sunday services for many, many years.

Flanagan shows great confidence in his handling of the material, after he successfully brought Doctor Sleep to the big screen, the follow-up novel to one of Stephen King’s most beloved and popular stories, The Shining, which itself became an iconic film in 1980, directed by the legendary Stanley Kubrick.

Flanagan regulars are again in the cast, including Kate Seigel and Henry Thomas. Midnight Mass is solid entertainment. If you do enjoy this, please watch Tobe Hooper’s excellent 1979 TV mini-series adaptation of King’s Salem’s Lot, as it will make for a compelling companion piece (the new Salem’s Lot is watchable, but a disappointment).

SHEPPARTON

Trio charged

■ Three children have been charged after allegedly lighting fires in the Shepparton area.

Emergency services responded to reports of a fire near Broken River Drive on at about 6pm last Monday (Nov. 4).

The blaze was contained, and no one was injured.

Emergency services again responded to reports of multiple fires along the Broken River in the Shepparton and Kialla areas on about 3.30pm on Tuesday (Nov. 5).

The fire was contained by FRV, and it is alleged that around eight acres of land was burnt.

Three offenders were allegedly observed leaving the scene and police located and arrested them shortly after.

A 14-year-old Mooroopna boy, 13-yearold Shepparton girl and a 12-year-old Shepparton boy were charged with intentionally or recklessly causing a bushfire.

They will all appear at a children’s court at a later date.

Police will investigate and take action to catch those responsible when a fire is deemed suspicious, whether it was a deliberate or reckless action.

Anyone found guilty of recklessly or intentionally causing a bushfire faces a penalty of up to 15 years imprisonment.

Lighting a fire on a total fire ban day can attract a fine of up to $46,000 or up to two years in jail.

The community also plays an incredibly important role in the prevention of bushfires and remains key in reporting reckless or suspicious behaviour.

Police are keen to speak to anyone who witnesses concerning behaviour in relation to fires, or anyone who has been told about this behaviour taking place.

■ Christian Ludolf Ebsen Jr was born in Belleville, Illinois in 1908. He had four sisters, his father was a choreographer and his mother was an artist.

The family moved to Florida when Christian was 12 and he learned to dance at his father's dance school.

He got the nickname 'Buddy' from his aunt, so Christian changed his name to Buddy Ebsen.

He attended the University of Florida with the intention of pursuing a medical career but had to leave due to family financial problems in 1920.

Buddy left Orlando in 1928 to try his luck as a dancer in New York City. He teamed up with his sister Vilma and they developed a successful dance act.

They got jobs in the chorus of several Broadway musicals including Whoopee, Flying Colors and Ziegfeld Follies of 1934.

Buddy and Vilma were cast in the MGM musical Broadway Melody of 1936. This was the start of Buddy's film career but it was the only film in which Vilma appeared as she retired from show business after the film was made.

In his next film Buddy danced with Shirley Temple in Captain January. MGM cast Buddy in a string of popular musicals over the next years and he appeared in films such as The Girl of the Golden West, The Kid from Texas, Broadway Melody of 1938, My Lucky Star and Four Girls in White.

Whatever Happened To ...

Buddy Ebsen

By Kevin Trask of 3AW and 96.5 Inner FM Buddy was 6'3" and towered over most of his co-stars.

In 1939 he was cast as the "Tin Man" in The Wizard of Oz but after ten days of filming he had an allergy to the aluminum paint and was sent to hospital.

Buddy was replaced by Jack Haley in the film. During the war years Buddy served as a Lieutenant, Junior Grade with the United States Coast Guard.

When the war finished, he gave up singing and dancing until 1949 when he returned to Hollywood as an actor. In 1954 Buddy starred opposite Fess Parker in the highly successful Davy Crockett television series for the Walt Disney Studios.

● Buddy Ebsen Buddy was a guest star in many television shows which included Have Gun Will Travel, Riverboat, 77 Sunset Strip and Bronco.

He also appeared in films such as Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Buddy was 57 in 1962 and about to retire when he was offered the role of Jed Clampett in the television series The Beverly Hillbillies. This was one of the biggest situation comedies of the 1960's and ran for nine years.

The principal cast members included Irene Ryan as Jed's mother-in-law, Max Baer, Jr. as Jed's dimwitted nephew "Jethro Bodine" and Donna Douglas as Jed's only child "Elly May Clampett". Over the years The Beverly Hillbillies attracted as many as 60 million viewers.

Buddy had another two major television series during his lifetime; Barnaby Jones 1973 1980 and Matt Houston 1984 - 1985. Buddy Ebsen was married three times and was father to six children.

Buddy continued to keep active during retirement and two years before his death, his bestselling novel Kelly's Quest was published.

He wrote several other books including Polynesian Concept (about sailing), The Other Side of Oz (autobiography) and Sizzling Cold Case a mystery based on his Barnaby Jones character.[25] Buddy Ebsen died in 2003 at the age of ninety five at the Torrance Memorial Medical Center in California.

He was a longtime friend of Dick Van Dyke, who hosted his memorial service.

A PEOPLE’S PRESS WITH NOEL COLEMAN

■ Melbourne-born artist Noel Coleman (1913-1986) maintained a personal and artistic commitment to political and social justice throughout a lifetime punctuated by some of the most challenging and defining events of the 20th century including the Great Depression, World War II and the Vietnam War. A prolific painter and draughtsman, Coleman also sustained a lifelong printmaking practice, which included works produced for collaborative print portfolios and for political and cultural journals and posters.

He understood the potential of printmaking to take art and ideas to audiences beyond the cultural elite.

This exhibition looks at Coleman’s collective approach to printmaking, an aspect of his practice that was informed by his personal politics and involvement with several cultural cooperatives including the Melbourne Popular Art group, which produced the print portfolio Eureka – 1854 – to commemorate the centenary of the miners’ revolt at the Eureka Stockade.

This left-wing Melbourne collective was sympathetic to the unionist sentiments of the Ballarat miners, whose uprising 170 years ago will be commemorated this year.

Exhibition closes Monday, March 10.

woman misguidedly drawn to the status of dating a high-profile athlete.

Sam’s life gets thrown into disarray when Sophie discovers him in a relationship with the brother of one of the WAGs. Desperate to keep his personal life private, Sam goes to extreme lengths to avoid his increasingly impressive career from being overshadowed by his relationship with a man.

As Sam’s success as a footballer grows and the public attention intensifies, can he hold onto both his public and private lives? Or are they fundamentally incompatible?

The story explores self discovery, sacrifice and asks us whether it is possible to have it all or if some paths inevitably lead to loss.

DATE CHANGE FOR SIR RUPERT CLARKE STAKES

■ The time-honoured Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes has been moved from the Caulfield Cup Carnival for the first time and will be raced on November 16 over 1400 metres.

Having a look at the early betting before nominations, the Ciaron Maher-trained five-year-old gelding Jimmysstar heads the markets.

He recently made it two on end when winning the Weekend Hustler Event at Caulfield on Guineas Day in good fashion.

He defeated the bottom weight, Suparazi, and Who Dares, over the 1400 metre trip.

He wasn’t disgraced when second behind the smart Another Wil on Derby Day. He will be well suited here, the distance is perfect, and he handles the conditions, and in a smart camp.

On the next line is another smart type, Magic Time, prepared by another top trainer, in Graeme Begg.

He ran a good second to a smart New Zealander in Declare, with Makarena i n third spot.

He has put eigfht wins on the board from his 10 starts,with two thirds all in top company. He is by the top sire, Hellbent.

He will be right in this as the distance is ideal and he handles Caulfield well.

The trainer on fire at the moment, Chris Waller, who is on a roll, has the good mare Olentia, a five-year old mare by top sire, Zoustar, having won seven of her 15 starts, and a second, and goes well in top company.

Next is the young Victorian sprinter, Arkansaw Kid, who turned four in August has battled hard against the best as was the case at his last outing.

He wasn’t far behind them in the Sydney Stakes over 1200 metres on October 19, Caulfield Cup day.

He clashed with the likes of one of the best in Australia, Overpass, who won the event, and Think About It, who has contested some hard races.

Then there is Mazu, Climbing Star and Lady Laguna.

This field is one of the best ever in a Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes.

Skybird prepared by Mitchell Freedman at Ballarat, is consistent, but dropped out of the Tristarc Stakes at Caulfield on October 19, Cup day.

She finished just behind the placegetters in seventh spot.

She appeared to be way out of her class when finishing well back in the Golden Eagle on November 2.

The John O’Shea-trained Schwarz had won four of eight and goes alright, impressive in a trial recently.

However, was disappointing when he finished off the pace at Flemington on Derby Day. Can improve, not out of it.

The money has come for Here To Shock, with the Hayes team, Ben, Will and J.D.Hayes; it looks like they have a consistent one here, the way she races.

But the weight of 62 kilos in the Big Dance Race got the better of it and finished out of a place.

Graduate program

● Jimmysstar. Racing Photos. could surprise. Another that impressed in winning back in June, was the five-year-old gelding, Vilana, prepared by James Cummings having won eight of 23 now with 10 placings, very consistent. One to watch, if they come for it.

One that could be right in this is the Mike Moroney-trained four-year-old, by Harry Angel, is War Machine, who is showing talent and was a good third behind another smart one in Ostraka, who put up three a row.

Ostraka is in the strong camp of Annabel Neasham and Ray Archibald.

Of the others, Amenable is all right on his day, for trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Junior, but of late hasn’t fired.

Attrition hit top form in win the Hill Stakes for the stable of Mitchell Freedman, beating Kovalica and Royal Patronage.

Could run a place if right.

Ted Ryan

■ A new pathway for young people to enter the thoroughbred industry has been established with Thoroughbred Breeders Australia launching a Graduate Program.

The scheme will give university leavers the opportunity to learn for some of the biggest names associated with racing, breeding, and wagering.

Those accepted on to the course will undertake a two-week learning block based at Flemington Racecourse, before starting an internship, with a major employer.

Among the companies supporting the program are Entain, Godolphin, Waterhouse and Bott, Racing Magic Millions, Melbourne Racing Club, Inglis, Yulong and the Victoria Racing Club.

The learning block will feature lectures and workshops, on everything from creating a wagering market, selecting a yearling, through to marketing a racing carnival and learning how the handicapping system works.

In the UK, the British Horseracing Authority has run a highly successful graduate program for 30 years, with many executives across the industry having completed the course.

TBA aims to attract 10-12graduates in the first year, with the learning block starting in late January.

After this fortnight, graduates will join an employer for a paid internship of at least six weeks.

Another supporting the initiative is Australasia’s living legend, Gai Waterhouse, who is well known for mentoring young people.

She said: “We have to keep looking at how we can bring young, talented people into the industry, and I think this is a wonderful way to do it. We are very much looking forward to having somebody join our team on their internship”.

AUSTRALIA TO PLAY BIG ROLE IN NZ

■ The biggest race of any code in New Zealand – the $1,000,000 New Zealand Trotting Cup over 3200 metres will be held at Christchurch’s Addington Raceway on Tuesday November 12 and the largest ever number of Australian contenders in the race will be there to try and bring the major prize back home.

Those contesting the race will be Australia’s best pacer Leap To Fame (Grant Dixon) and defending NZ Cup winner Swayzee (Jason Grimson) along with Better Eclipse (Greg Sugars) and Aroda another of the Dixon team who is gradually making his way through the grades.

Although Leap To Fame has been under a cloud with a blood irregularity, he has been passed fit to take his place in the field and will be mighty hard to hold out.

Last year’s outstanding victor Swayzee who connections paid a late big priced late nomination will also be difficult to beat following a brilliant victory in the Victoria Cup and if trainer/ driver Jason Grimson adopts his usual ‘catch me if you can’ tactics, he will be right there at the finish.

Better Eclipse who never runs a bad race coming off a great third in last Monday’s Kaikoura Cup after a bad beginning if given the opportunity, will finish hard off a cold sit and it would be no surprise should he win.

Aroda (1st Emergency) is probably outclassed, but reported to be a great stayer suited by the journey.

Add talented Kiwi’s Merlin (Barry Purdon & Scott Phelan) and Don’t Stop Dreaming (Mark & Nathan Purdon) into the mix, plus a number of handy open class performers making the race one of the best ever.

The $400,000 Dominion Handicap for trotters again over 3200 metres sees champion Australian and multiple Inter Dominion winner Just Believe (Greg Sugars) against fellow Victorians Arcee Phoenix (Chris Svanosio), One Over All (Gavin Smith) and Kyvalley Hotspur plus the in-form Bet N Win (Bob Butt), Oscar Bonevena (Mark Purdon) and up and comer Mighty Logan (John Dunn), it should be a great spectacle.

It doesn’t stop there however as Andy Gath’s Catch A Wave (Kate Gath) will do battle in the Junior Free For All over 2600 metres and to top the week off, Marg Lee’s champion filly Keayang Zahara will go around on Friday in the $500,000 ‘The Ascent’ Slot Race for 3Y0 Trotters over 1980 metres.

Note that the NZ Cup starting time is 3.46pm our time and the Dominion Handicap at 1.14pm.

At Shepparton

■ Local racing at Shepparton commenced the week on Tuesday November 5 with an even eight race card and Menangle trainer Alex Alchin combined with Shepparton reinsman Zac Phillips to land the Neatline Homes 0-2 LTW Pace over 1690 metres with two year filly Pops Joy defeating her older rivals.

Not rushed from gate five, Pops Joya daughter of Soho Tribeca and Joyces Desire settled three back in the moving line from gate five as Alamo led from gate four.

Once formation was made, Pops Joy was off and running to race exposed approaching the bell before surging clear on the final bend to easily account from Streets Of Madrid which trailed the front runner from the pole, with Major Bert (three wide last lap) from mid-field third.

The margins 8.9 by 3 metres in a mile rate of 157.4.

■ Torrumbarry part-owner/trainer Faye McEwan has 4Y0 Trixton-Casa Fundada mare racing in peak form and brought up three wins in a row by taking the 1690 metre Alabar Trotters Mobile in a rate of 1-59.1 with James Herbertson in the sulky, Jansu was fast away from outside the front line to cross polemarker Christmas Babe polemarker to lead and rated a treat, held too many guns for Magic Law (three pegs from gate six) by 7.2 metres with Christmas Babe holding third 5.7 metres away.

■ Ardmona’s Donna Castles trained and reined 4Y0 Skyvalley-Annies Life mare Night Sky to an easy all the way victory in the Your Sold Real Estate 4Y0 & Older Maiden Trotters Mobile over 2190 metres, accounting for Southwind Chloe (three pegs) by 17.2 metres. A death-seat-

Harness Racing

Poetic mare Al Sedhai. Enjoying a cosy passage from the pole on the back of the leader You Got Me Good (gate two), Al Sedhai came away from the inside on turning and finished best to prevail by 2.1 metres from You Got Me Good, with Solotrekk third 1.2 metres away third after trailing the pair. Fremarkstilly using the sprint lane from four pegs looked likely to win only to go off stride when taking the lead halfway up the running. The mile rate 2-02.1.

with Len Baker ing Midnite Muscle from outside the front line was third 2.9 metres back. The mile rate 2-06.7.

Home of trotter

■ Maryborough generally regarded as the ‘home of the trotter’ was certainly that on Wednesday November 6 with no less than five races dedicated to that gait.

Junortoun part-owner/trainer Gary Donaldson opened the program with smart 4Y0 What The Hill-Donski mare Salski owned by a plethora of stable supporters winning the 2190 metre Bartletts Manufacturing Trotters Handicap with James Herbertson in the sulky.

Beginning safely from barrier three, Salski crossed polemarker Alfie Always shortly after the start and defied all challengers to register a 2.8 metre margin over 20 metre equal backmarker Mitchell Wrap which galloped away giving away a tidy start to his rivals before moving to be one/one in the final circuit and three wide on the home turn. Dels Destiny (three pegs) ran his usual honest race for third after using the sprint lane. The margins 2.9 by 4.9 metres in a mile rate of 2-05.3.

■ Most consistent Volstead-Fiery Annie filly Caithness Lady at start thirteen broke through in the Maryborough IGA 3Y0 & Older Maiden Trotters Mobile over 2190 metres.

Trained at Hamilton by veteran Jim Barker and driven by granddaughter Jackie, Caithness Lady (gate three) began fast to cross Tara Tuff (gate four) which led momentarily and was never headed, scoring by 2.1 metres from Kvintet Hill (three wide last lap) from a long way back. Tara Tuff was third along the sprint lane a neck away.

The mile rate 2-05.2.

■ Locally trained (Bet Bet) part-owner/trainer Ray Cross was victorious with very honest Imperial Count-Im Rite Or Wrong 7Y0 mare Jessicas Story in the Peter Egan Bi-Rite Electrical Trotters Mobile over 1690 metres in a rate of 2-00.3.

With regular reinsman Liam Older in the sulky, Jessicas Story began fast to lead from gate six before allowing Chris Alford and Against The Bridle after being restrained from outside the front line to go forward and assume control.

Enjoying the run of the race, Jessicas Story not waiting for the sprint lane to come into play angled outside the leader on the home turn and was far too strong at the finish for him, recording an easy 15.4 metre margin. Gunsen Rosie (one/one) dropped down to the sprint lane on turning for third 1.7 metres back.

■ Nanneella part-owner/trainer Col Godden who is ‘on fire’ at present was successful with former Queenslander Dhoni Trouble in the 2190 metre Haras Des Trotteurs Trotters Mobile.

Driven by Josh Duggan, Dhoni Trouble first up in Victoria and first up since August quickly moved away from inside the second line to possie mid-field before going forward in the last lap to join the pacemaker surging clear shortly after.

Mont Sally after a sweet one/one – one two spot from the extreme draw quickly joined the leader to issue a challenge but was no match going down by 13.5 metres in a rate of 2-02.1. Ivar (three pegs from the pole) held that spot to be third a further 13.5 metres back.

■ The Aldebaran Park 0-2 LTW Trotters Mobile over 2190 metres went the way of Kerryn Manning’s lightly raced 4Y0 Andover Hall-Vari

■ The lower grade Yarra Valley Pacing and Trotting Cups each for a stake of $10,000 were held on Thursday The United Petroleum Yarra Valley Cup over 2150 metres going to Melton owner/trainer Craig Hoban’s 4Y0 entire Give Dad A Wave. Trapped three wide from gate six before easing to be three back in the moving line as Jay Bee took up her usual leading roll from gate two with the favourite Dressed In Gold off and running from the extreme draw to park outside the pacemaker.

With the pressure being applied approaching the final bend, Dressed In Gold led on the home turn, with Give Dave A Wave easing three wide on the bend. In a punishing finish, Give Dave Ave did best to gain the day in the shadows of the post by 1.9 metres in a mile rate of 1-58.5.

Shaq (three back the markers from inside the second line) was third after angling wide in the straight.

■ The De Bortoli Yarra Valley Cup saw a rough result when 5Y0 Kvintet Avenger-Madeline 5Y0 mare Designs scored at odds of $21.00. Trained at Navarre by Toby Ainsworth who holds a share with Kaylene and Andrew Henderson, Designs driven by Ada Massa was given a perfect passage one/one from gate five as bolter Chinski led from the pole after The Chook challenging for the lead went off stride as did Sister Evarista when about to take over racing for the bell with the favourite Benne And The Jets also going off stride shortly after.

Bullapark Beno despite racing exposed from gate three surged to the front in the last lap, with Designs issuing a challenge and leading on the final bend, while polemarker Nellie Joy after always being handy switched down to the sprint lane approaching the home turn after receiving a slight check just prior. Giving plenty under hard driving, Designs reached the wire a half neck clear of Nellie Joy, with Bullapark Beno battling on gamely for third a head away. The mile rate 2-00.3.

Return to sport

■ Ballarat also raced on Thursday and Toolern Vale duo Debra and Ray Pace who have just returned to the sport after a long lay off would have been ecstatic when 4Y0 Sweet LouSevenish gelding Ashante Prince making his second race appearance saluted the judge in the Ballarat Mower Centre 4Y0 & Older Maiden Pace over 1710 metres paying odds of $81.00.

Raced by Deb and Ray, plus several friends, Ashante Prince trained by Deb with Ray doing the driving and starting from the extreme draw settled mid-field in the moving line as Goodtime Mae went forward from gate five to lead before being crossed by Cincinatti at the bell. Going forward three wide solo in the final lap, Ashante Prince dashed clear on turning to register a 3.7 metre margin over Im The Wild One (one/one) and Sir Nippa which followed the winner throughout third 4.5 metres back. The mile rate 1-57.8.

■ An impressive winner on the night was Orlando Vici-Schleck mare Fonda Rhonda in the Woodlands Stud 4Y0 & Older Maiden Trotters Mobile over 2200 metres. Trained at Woolsthorpe by Ian Stanley and driven by son Michael, Fonda Rhonda raced by Ballangeich’s (Mortlake District) Ian Wilson was slowly away from the extreme draw to settle at the tail given plenty of time to balance, before commencing a forward move in the last lap to circle her rivals solo. Sustaining a long run to join the leader Castles In The Sky (gate five) on the home turn, Fonda Rhonda raced clear over the concluding stages to record a 2.5 metre victory from Prosperous (gate seven) which trailed the leader easing wide in the straight, with Castles In The Sky third 2.4 metres back. The mile rate 2-02.9.

Local Briefs Keysborough CFA

■ Keysborough CFA has been praised in State Parliament by Mordialloc MLA Tim Rochardson.

“I had the great privilege to join the Keysborough CFA legends for their annual awards night dinner. It has been 80 years of service for the Keysborough CFA since the Brewer family were so instrumental in donating land and establishing this site some eight decades ago,” Mr Richardson said.

“While the paddocks have changed over time – we have a wonderful, thriving Keysborough community with tens of thousands of residents across Keysborough and Keysborough South and a thriving industrial estate just out on the Keysborough side and to Braeside to the west and then into Dandenong South – and the complexity of their service has changed, the volunteer values and support have not.

“They are a wonderful group of people who put themselves in harm’s way to support our community in terms of need.

“I want to give a big shout-out to Stewie Matulis, who is their captain and was recognised for 20 years service; Wayne Aumann, who remarkably had 40 years of service; Ian Robinson and Jamie Atkin, who were recognised for 15 years of service; Emmanuel Vella, for 10 years of service; and Shandelle Ross, who is an extraordinary leader, for five years of service, and she also took out the Brewer Award on the evening.

“We are really excited about a plan to upgrade Keysborough CFA that is getting traction in our local community.

“We want to make sure the first-class facilities meet the first-class volunteerism in our community going forward.

“I want to give a big shout-out to their team and the work that they do on behalf of our community to keep us safe. Going into a heavy fire season, we wish them all the best in serving our community,” Mr Richardson said.

Naranga visit

■ Frankston MLA Paul Edbrooke hasw spoken in State Parliament about his visit to Naranga School in Frankston.

“The builders have even cut little portholes into the boards so that the students can go up and see all the tractors and backhoes doing their jobs,” Mr Edbrooke said.

“It is an exceptional space, and Shaun Bacon is an exceptional principal.

“Speaking of principals, last week I was pleased to host a really informative principals morning tea with special guest Tom Brunzell from Berry Street, who spoke about the Berry Street education model.

“It was a great time just to thank the principals in the Frankston area for all they do for our children and our youth, and that is in an education space but also in a space where sometimes school is the primary place of foundation for some of these children.

“So I thank them for all their hard work, and it was a great time to get together and talk about our plans for the future as well and the Education State.

“As everybody knows, the Year 12 exams started. I have got a Year 12 in my household, Hunter, who has been studying very hard.

“I want just to say to everyone out there, whether your next steps are uni or TAFE or straight into a job, you will always have plenty of opportunities under an Allan Labor Government, and our community is so proud of you for your achievements throughout the schooling year as well. Well done, keep going and celebrate at the end of it,” Mr Edbrooke said.

Call in to CFA

■ Narre Warren North MLA Belinda Wilson says she visited Narre Warren North CFA, led by new captain Robert Appel and his eam. A new fire truck nicknamed The Beast has arrived due to funding of $460,000.

“The Beast features a 400-litre water tank, electric monitors and electric winding hose reels. The Allan Labor Government is ensuring that emergency services have the equipment they need to keep Victorians safe with the upcoming fire season.”
