Local Sport Thornton-Eildon ■ Thornton Eildon District Football and Netball Club’s first home game for the season graced us with a beautiful day.. Pink was the colour of the day with Lisa Stanchinotti and Bailey gave us our purpose as they ran their 'Mother's Day Classic' which say the trio first on the ground at 6am and ending around 3.30pm, raising funds and more importantly awareness for breast cancer. Thornton-Eildon welcomed a large crowd of supporters, and special guests UGFM who broadcasted our Women’s Football match. FOOTBALL: Thornton started strong, playing their best first quarter of the season to date with Somaly Herridge snagging a goal and a few points kicked by others early on. Officer, the opposition, quickly picked up their game is the second quarter, but this didn't stop Thornton from putting in their hard yards. By half-time Thornton was ahead by two points and feeling hopeful. A few minor injuries from our team early on were dissipated by our bench. In the next quarter Officer kept up the pressure and kicked a few goals away as well as several of our own goal attempts from Sarah Simpson, Magenta Connelly, Sophie, Tash Hay and a few others resulting in behinds. The ball was held up in Thornton’s forward line most of the game but just were unable to get the ball through the big posts. Our players ran into the last quarter knowing more hard work was needed and buckled down to hold Officer's advances to a minimum, although the hard work meant some hard hits were taken by a few of our players, with Sophie, Jess and Billie all exiting the field due to injury. The crowd was going wild in the fourth quarter with Officer leading by just nine points. Although not victorious Thornton recognised their solid achievements and efforts in the game and all agreed at how far they had comes as individuals and as a team.

NETBALL Thornton Eildon Shinboners versus Alexandra Rebels at home. On Saturday, our D Grade team had their first home game of the season against the Alexandra Rebels. Thank-you to Debbie Goodman from Goodies Alexandra for donating our amazing pink socks to support our breast cancer Pink Round. We opened the game with all the players and umpires gathering, with welcome to country and highlight Lisa Stanchinotti’s cause, raising awareness of Breast Cancer Awareness. We wore pink socks, ribbons, and tape to support this cause that is so close to many people. One in eight women experience breast cancer in their life. It was a good game against Alex Rebels with both teams putting up a good fight. It was a friendly and fair game from both teams with no injuries, on a wet and dewy morning. Thank-you to our sports trainers for assisting with the strapping and rubs for the girls this week. We saw a great turn out of supporters to cheer on our lovely netball ladies. We played at 9 am instead of 10 am to assist the Alex Rebels logistics to join the rest of their club, competing at Kinglake. Both teams worked hard constantly in their attacking and defending ends with a final score of 21 to 11 with Alex Rebels taking the win. Best Players. Georgie Beggs Charmaine Beggs Sarah Stevenson Thank-you must go to everyone off field who assisted at the club, without your support and contributions in the community the day would not have been such a success. Next round will see the club travel over the hill with football playing Seville/Woori at Woori Yallock and netball play against Warburton. - Sarah Carlton

Local Briefs Landcare grants
■ Jaclyn Symes MLC is encouraging environmental volunteers in Northern Victoria to apply for grants to support their work in protecting and restoring our land and natural environment. Lily D’Ambrosio, Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, opened the latest round of the Victorian Landcare Grants, with $2.55 million in Victorian Government funding available to environmental volunteering groups. Landcare and other environmental volunteering groups can now apply for project grants of up to $30,000 for on-ground works, education and capacity building projects that help to improve the local environment for future generations. Support grants of up to $500 are also available for new and existing groups and networks to assist with operating costs for Landcare and environmental volunteering across the state. This funding will be delivered through Victoria's 10 Catchment Management Authorities.
‘Flabergasted’ ■ In four months Bruce McCormack's property in North East Victoria could be home to hundreds of campers. That is, at least, if things go unchanged between now and September. As of September 1, camping on licensed riverfronts will become a legal right, regardless of who owns the land, after amendments to the Lands Act 1958 were passed in November. Mr McCormack, who is president of the Mountain Cattlemen's Association of Victoria, has the Delatite River running along his boundary on the family farm in Merrijig. The draft regulations have left him flabbergasted - allowing the public to camp within 20 metres of a waterway for up to 28 days. "The amendment has been passed but we have until September to sort out the details," he said. "The regulations weren't released when they were calling for public feedback meaning they wanted us to have an opinion on rules we weren't aware of - how ridiculous is that." Mr McCormack said his concerns were many; from liability insurance to stock management, bio security to personal safety.
Lease at Coldstream ■ Yarra Ranges Shire Council has voted to extend the lease of Lyrebird College at 12 Kelso St, Coldstream by an additional two terms of five years. Lyrebird College operates as an education facility for children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, and is held in high regard by the families involved in the school, as well as the greater Yarra Ranges community.
Crisis strangles ■ Lack of affordable housing in Indi is holding back the region's economic potential, said Helen Haines MHR, as she prepared to meet the Minister for Housing to push for support to address the housing crisis in North East Victoria. In a letter to Michael Sukkar, the Minister for Housing, Dr Haines detailed the alarming impact on the local small business sector of the lack of rental accommodation. "Many small businesses I speak to are under immense pressure because they cannot attract new workers to town, simply because there is nowhere for them to live" she said. "I have consistently heard this message in towns the length of my electorate - Corryong, Tallangatta, Bright, Myrtleford, Beechworth, Mansfield, Eildon, Thornton and Wodonga."
Volunteer website ■ Mitchell Shire Council, with the support of the Victorian Government, will launch a new website to help potential volunteers find local opportunities. he Volunteering Mitchell website is a one-stop-shop for volunteers.

■ At the Whittlesea Council Meeting held on Tuesday last week (May 4), Chair Administrator Lydia Wilson read the following statement in regards to the situation in India: “I feel compelled on behalf of the Council to express our deep concern about the current crisis situation in India in relation to COVID-19 with the highest ever daily count of cases globally and mounting numbers of deaths,” Ms Wilson said. “No one could fail to notice that medical facilities are overwhelmed and that families are desperately competing for scarce medicines and oxygen. “Our thoughts go out to the people of India and, of course to their many relatives and friends in other countries of the world including here in Whittlesea where we have a very significant Indian population. “Please be assured we are liaising with key local agencies such as Whittlesea Community Connections to determine whether we can provide any additional relevant support at this very concerning time.” ■ If you have been directly or indirectly impacted by this situation, Whittlesea Community Connections can provide support - call 9401 6666, Monday to Friday (9am - 5pm).

I look forward to identifying and advancing opportunities to deliver the community vision, including by creating vibrant and beautiful spaces and to enhance prosperity of the Shire. “I have heard good things about the people who work at Murrindindi Shire Council, including that they really care about their community. “I am looking forward to getting to know and work with the team at Council and to building on the work they are already doing to ensure we understand and are meeting the needs of the community,” Ms Bonazzi said. Cr McAulay said it was important for Council to acknowledge the organisation for its work since the departure of former CEO Craig Lloyd in October last year. “My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who works for Council and, in particular, to Mr Michael Chesworth, who so ably stepped into the acting CEO position late last year. “He has been a source of wise and considered counsel for newly-elected Councillors and for the organisation, including through the latter stages of the pandemic. Mr Chesworth is muchrespected and appreciated by Councillors and his community and will be a valuable source of local knowledge and guidance for Ms Bonazzi as she settles into the role of CEO,”Cr McAulay said.
■ For the first time, the prestigious Nillumbik Prize for Contemporary Art has been awarded to a digital artist. James Nguyen, of Murumbeena, was presented the $20,000 prize for his image, The Camelia Economy. The 20-minute, 29-second moving image tells the story of a handful of seeds given to the artist by his late grandmother on his return to Vietnam. In Australia, his family grew the seeds into tea plants which they use to trade and swap with community, symbolising the preservation of their culture of storytelling, care and entrepreneurship that has survived war and political exile. The Nillumbik Prize for Contemporary Art is a contemporary biennial acquisitive art prize open to artists working in any medium in Australia. The winners were announced last week at the official opening of the Finalist Exhibition at Montsalvat’s Barn Gallery. Georgia Cribb, Director of Bunjil Place Gallery and one of the three prize judges, said it had been immensely challenging to determine a winner from a strong field across a range of media. “We are delighted to learn that this is the first time that the prize has been awarded to an artist working in a digital medium,” she said. The $10,000 local prize was won by Eltham artist Nusra Latif Qureshi for Remnant Blessings-1, an acrylic, graphite, gouache and gold on illustration board. Some 40 established and emerging artists from across Australia were selected from 323 entries for the Finalist Exhibition, responding to the theme 'Return'. Nillumbik Mayor Cr Peter Perkins said this year marked the 17th anniversary of the prize, which was highly regarded around Australia. “This is a prestigious exhibition for artists to showcase excellence in contemporary art and is a celebration of Nillumbik’s rich artistic and cultural community,” Cr Perkins said. “Council prides itself on being a strong supporter of the arts on all levels. Sculptor Clive Murray-White, of Dunmoochin in Cottles Bridge, took out the $500 Mayor’s Award for his work, Assisted Suiseki No: 9. The biennial prize was judged by Miriam Kelly, Curator at the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art; Georgia Cribb, Director of Bunjil Place Gallery; and Victoria Lynn, Director of TarraWarra Museum of Art. The finalists were shortlisted by an independent panel of industry experts: Francis E. Parker, Curator of Exhibitions at Monash University Museum of Art; Jade Bitar, Visual Arts Officer at the City of Stonnington; and Helen Walpole, independent art and museum curator.

The Whip Our Spy in Parliament
Southbank man penalised
■ The Andrews Labor Government is sued a media statement late last week, warning businesses against misleading and aggressive sales tactics, after the Federal Court handed down more than $3 million in penalties to Vic Solar Technologies Pty Ltd and its director Sunny Srinivasan for breaching the Australian Consumer Law. The penalties include: ■ a $3 million penalty for Vic Solar ■ Mr Srinivasan being banned from managing corporations for at least five years ■ Mr Srinivasan (as sole director) being required to pay $450,000 in penalties. The court found Vic Solar and its director Mr Srinivasan, 31, of Southbank, contravened the ACL by making misleading representations to consumers, and failing to comply with legal protections for unsolicited consumer agreements, among the multiple findings.
Tribute to Philip
■ Acting Premier James Merlino last week paid a tribute in State Parliament to the late Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip: “Perhaps his greatest contribution, though, was his dedicated service - service to his family, his country, our commonwealth and his Queen. “He did so always in his own trademark fashion with humour, directness and an unwavering sense of duty. “It bears reflection that they were married for 73 years, 68 of which the Queen has been the reigning monarch. “It is a period of time that has fundamentally transformed our world: the rebuild of postwar Europe, the Cold War, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War - from the rise of television to YouTube and now a global pandemic. Queen Elizabeth has been a constant throughout, and if she was our constant, Philip was hers. He was described by the Queen as her ‘strength and stay’, a guide, a soundingboard, a friend,” Mr Merlino said.
O’Brien fails to land a blow
■ State Opposition Leader Michael O’Brien is being increasingly seen as failing to land a blow on the Andrews/Merlino State Government. Mr O’Brien asked in State Parliament last week: “My question is to the Minister for Ambulance Services. Acting Ambulance Victoria CEO Mick Stephenson said in response to questions about Christina Lackmann’s death: “We’re frequently in a position where we’re holding ambulance cases because we don’t have anything immediately available to dispatch. Minister, how many other cases has Ambulance Victoria failed to respond to because of this government’s mismanagement?” Mr Foley, the Minister, said: “Can I take this opportunity to thank all of our hardworking paramedics and our healthcare professionals for the extraordinary services that they have put in over the course of the pandemic, and particularly since the pandemic’s second wave lockdown. “Indeed the other impacts of the pandemic right across the country have seen unprecedented demand across all aspects of our healthcare system, not just in Victoria but right across Australia. “Indeed in response to that unprecedented demand the Victorian government has allocated unprecedented further resources. In regard to the most recent budget, we have now passed over $1 billion worth of increased support to our ambulance services.” Mr O’Brien complained to the Speaker that Mr Foley failed to answer the question.

Welcome to Livia Bonazzi as the new CEO of Murrindindi Shire. She made a smart move immediately after her appointment was announced last Wednesday: she joined the Facebook page of The Local Paper. The Council’s media statement was high on rhetoric, but detailed few specifics of Ms Bonazzi’s career. Has Ms Bonazzi been a CEO before? What work has she done in local government? These are reasonable questions to be asked by the public who will pay her salary. In recent times, the package for the Murrindindi Shire CEO has been north of $250,000 annually.

Writers gather at Warb’ton ● Cr Fiona McAllister Yarra Ranges Mayor Cr Fiona McAllister was positively gushing about the Star News Group’s new Lilydale newspaper last week. The Lilydale Star Mail published its first issue on May 4. It has no connection whatsoever with The Local Paper which publishes its own Lilydale and Yarra Valley Express edition each week.
✖ ?
Cr McAllister thanked and congratulated our contemporaries, and urged the public to support that paper. She said the community was “incredibly lucky” to have that company’s coverage. One local Yarra Ranges political observer labelled Cr McAllister’s comments, favouring one media outlet over another, as politically naive. It will be fascinating to watch how the apparently cosy relationship fans out in the editorial columns. At The Local Paper, we report without fear or favour.

Yea Ladies Golf ■ Congratulations on such a fine day for the Jack Baynes Memorial. On Monday laqst week Yea Golf ladies went to Marysville for the second round of Pennant. “We went with everything packed for all occasions covering all bases. Thankfully we were not in need and actually ended up taking layers off, not needing them again until the end of the day when the clouds came threatening to drown us all,” said Club correspondent Karen Sangster. “Playing Marysville at Marysville is always daunting at the best of times but we all went out to do our best. Although there was a little strange incident for the day one of the local ladies spoilt her day by disappearing into a hole. Hence if her game wasn’t up to par before the tumble it sure shook the socks off her for her after game. Sadly we lost 3/2 but not without a battle. Two certainly got their money’s worth ending on the 18th having the local knowledge eliminating their hopes of a win. “We held the Doris Chambers Cup 18 hole foursomes. The perpetual trophy was donated by Doris Chambers OBE, a former Ladies Golf Union President, first played in 1950. First round to be played at club level, winners then to go onto the final, played at a different venue each year. “Although a small field went to battle, a fun day was had by all. Ones’ game is totally different when playing alternate shots, the ball could end up anywhere, places you just never have played before. “ Lots of laughter on the field and in the club house after while enjoying a lovely lunch then presentations. This year our winners on a roll birthday girl, big week of celebrations, Di Holdsworth (24) and a new player Sharon Grogan (43) took the honours. No NTP and only one gobbler for Penny Britton.”

Rebels visit Kinglake ■ The AFL Outer East League Round 4 of the 2021 season saw Alexandra travel to Kinglake for three games of football and three games of netball with the D-Grade netball match played at Thornton. UNDER 17s The Club's Under 17s were assisted by four Under 15 players and two Yea players on permits but were facing the undefeated Lakers who kicked four goals to one in the first quarter before adding another three to one in the second quarter. The Rebels had some good passages of play in the second half and matched the home team across the ground in a positive display, the Lakers kicking seven goals to five for the half to take the win, Alexandra 7.3 (45) to Kinglake 16.14 (110). Awards: ITEC Earthworks - Jesse King, Bundalaguah Engineering - Brad Irvine, Alexandra Tyrepower - Beau Scott, Alexandra Apparel - Banjo Fitzpatrick, Alan and Betty Parsons - Bowen McCarthy, Coaches - Liam Sproles. RESERVES The Reserves also faced the top side and were quickly under pressure, the Lakers kicking two unanswered goals in the first quarter and then kicking six goals to two in the second quarter. The Rebels battled hard in the second half but the home side was well served by their experienced full forward who marked everything that came his way, Alexandra 2.2 (14) to Kinglake 8.13 (121). Awards: Shepparton Volkswagen award Jonathan Noy, Caltex fuel card - Michael Coombs, Alex Sportspower - Justin Leary, Buxton Hotel - Chris Friswell, Shamrock Hotel - Jack Hehir. SENIORS The Seniors made a couple of changes for a much-anticipated clash between the two undefeated top teams but Kinglake jumped the Rebels from the start and had three goals on the board within the first 10 minutes before the Rebels were able to steady with Galea and Cooper prominent. However, they could only result in two behinds before a great solo effort by young wingman Laurie-Rhodes got the ball to Brayden Norris who marked strongly and kicked a badly needed goal. A goal to Kinglake from a questionable free kick before the quarter time siren had Kinglake at 4.2 to Alexandra 2.2. The second quarter opened with a behind to the Rebels'Watkin before an errant Rebels handball resulted in Pywell of Kinglake kicking his fourth goal and Kinglake's fifth. The Rebels were off line again before James Box took a strong mark and kicked a lovely long
goal but the experienced Kinglake side displayed fast, slick football for their sixth goal. Full forward Watkin strong marking was creating problems for the Kinglake defence, a downfield free to Kinglake resulted in their seventh goal, Kinglake 7.5 toAlexandra 3.6 at half time. The Rebels opened up the scoring with a goal to Watkin followed by 10 minutes of end to end football with both defences on top with Kelly leading the Rebels' defence. Kinglake then registered two goals by midterm as the Rebels were left with only two on the bench when two of their talented young players suffered serious injuries in quick succession, James Box stretchered off with a serious leg injury and Gus Smith with a dislocated shoulder. The depleted Rebels refused to surrender, with Kelly, who was dominant in defence, going forward and kicking truly for the Rebels sixth goal. Kinglake responded with two quick goals, Kinglake 11.6 toAlexandra 6.7 at the last change. With two players down and trailing by five goals the Rebels could have conceded defeat, however, to their credit they continued to contest every issue resulting in a goal to full forward Watkin, followed up by the Rebels' eighth goal kicked by Brayden Norris. With Ragg winning in the ruck and led by Kelly, Riley Norris, Collard and Cooper, Kinglake was held scoreless until 15 minutes in the quarter when they scored two quick goals. Brayden Norris's fourth goal was matched by Kinglake as the final siren sounded as darkness began to close in, Alexandra 9.7 (61) to Kinglake 14.9 (93). A positive team discussion after the game had the Rebels keen to return to the winners list next week, when they play Yea at Yea. Awards: BMH Roofworx award - Lee Ragg, Healesville Toyota award - Josef Builder, ITEC Earthworks award - Ryley Norris, Buxton Hotel - Jason Degabriele, Shamrock Hotel - Tom McKinlay.

Boost for Yarra Valley schools ■ Lilydale students are learning in world-class facilities as part of a $56.3 million investment in local secondary students through the Lilydale District and Yarra Valley Education Plan, thanks to the State Government. James Merlino, Minister for Education, and Harriet Shing, Eastern Victoria MLC, this month visited Lilydale Heights College to tour the school’s new sustainable learning hub, town square, gym, canteen and staff room completed as part of an $8 million Stage 1 upgrade. Mr Merlino officially launched a four-year Collaborative Indigenous Strategy, which aims to ensure a culturally inclusive environment for Koorie students across the six schools involved in the Education Plan. The strategy was developed collaboratively by principals at Healesville High School, Lilydale Heights College, Lilydale High School, Mooroolbark College, Upper Yarra Secondary College and Yarra Hills Secondary College and will be implemented across the six schools. “The students, staff and teachers at Lilydale Heights College have a well-deserved reputation for being diverse, inclusive, innovative and high-achieving,” said Ms Shing, who expressed pleasure to see this project come to fruition.

The aim is to be better citizens as well as better husbands and better fathers. There are a number of ‘degrees’ which some liken to Night School for life lessons. Some of the talks are humour-based.

What is Freemasonry?
■ Freemasons are men who work to improve themselves, so they can help the community to become a better place. Freemasons usually meet monthly, and their activities include lessons (called degrees), social functions and charity work.

Sharper than a serpent’s tooth ■ Evelyn Krape (Ginger, A Toast to Melba) is King Lear in Melbourne Shakespeare Company’s new production directed by Ayesha Gibson (Romeo and Juliet) from May 26 - June 6 at fortyfivedownstairs. King Lear is a tender, violent, and intimate exploration of old age portrayed in all its vulnerability, pride, folly and wisdom. The multiple Green Room award winning actor will take on one of the greatest roles in literature for a limited run of just 10 performances. Krape will be supported by an ensemble including Kevin Hopkins (Twelfth Night) as Kent, Don Bridges (As You Like It) as Fool, Augustin Tchantcho (Book of Morman, Othello) as Albany, and Anthea Davies (A Room of One’s Own) as Gloucester.

● Claudia Karvan, Noni Hazlehurst and Stephen Curry ■ Dementia seems to be the flavour of the month for new films hitting the big screen. Thus far we have had The Father and Supernova, dealing with senile dementia and early onset dementia. Now we have June Again, featuring a towering performance from Noni Hazlehurst as June, a dementia sufferer who suddenly enjoys a brief period of respite from the condition. Having lived in a very comfortable aged care facility for five years, and not always recognizing her family or being able to name inanimate objects, June wakes one morning with all her previous mental powers. Seizing the opportunity, she escapes from the care home with the help of a sympathetic taxi driver, and sets about visiting her old home, which of course now belongs to somebody else. Her next aim is to connect with her scattered family and check out how the family wallpaper business is faring. Both the business and her children try to hide their respective skeletons in the closet, but June is a feisty and determined with a good command of fruity language she isn't afraid to use. Gradually, June unearths the family secrets, sometimes puts her foot in situations, and reveals a secret from her own past. Through her journey, we see a family that is instantly recognisable as fractured but loving, and with June's forceful guidance, her children find new strength and start to fix their lives. June knows this state of lucidity won't last, but she manages to achieve her aims before she starts slipping back into dementia and returns to her aged care facility. There is a sweet twist in the film at the end, but to say more would be to spoil it. It's marvellous to see an excellent film built around a mature female character and Hazlehurst is simply magnificent, with great support from Claudia Karvan and Stephen Curry as her adult children. This is a fine film with a lot of humour, as it deals with a sensitive subject. If you are struggling to cope with a loved one who has dementia, it may be too close to the bone for you, but for the rest of us, it's a must-see film that sends you out satisfied. - Julie Houghton

The Very Hungry Caterpillar ■ Engagement of the audience is the vital ingredient in a successful children’s theatre performance, and much of this Jonathan Rockefeller created production of four of Eric Carle’s stories succeeded well. Well, why not? - Carle’s animal stories are celebrated world wide For over 70 puppets to “play” on we had a white set with doors out of which animals - think bears, horses or cats - would appear. The skills of the three actors – Tina Jackson, Eleanor Stankiewicz, Christopher Vernon – in manipulating this fantastic menagerie with alacrity in “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see” was delightful to watch. I could see the value of Nate Edmondson’s sound score to help frame fast exits and entrances, and also to allow choreographed set movement, particularly for the wonderful undulating caterpillar to preen on. But at times the youngest sections in the audience seemed intent on their own sound scapes, and the two things became a fraction intrusive to the limited verbal storytelling. I felt that immediacy began to be a little lost, particularly in a larger theatre situation. But that said, the puppets really did carry the day, in particular that legend the Very Hungry Caterpillar. How my young guest adored the fat fellow who emerged after all that eating. And other stars holding their own supremely were the duck, the sheep, the gymnastic goat and the tantalizing spider. A congratulatory shout out to Builders and Fabricators Arlee Chadwick, Jessica Lorence and Acheson Walsh and Associate Director Liesel Badorrek. Long live authors or great children’s books and theatre companies eager to entice our young people to enter the world of live theatre. This show had a short run at the Athenaeum, but I believe may return, so keep a watch out. - Review by Maggie Morrison
A German Life ■ Christopher Hampton's play, A German Life, being presented from July 21 at The Playhouse, Arts Centre Melbourne. Directed by Neil Armfield, A German Life is a theatrical tour-de-force about one ordinary woman’s extraordinary experiences during the Second World War. In this Australian premiere, Robyn Nevin plays Brunhilde Pomsel, an unassuming woman with good shorthand skills who, almost by chance, came to work in Joseph Goebbels’ Propaganda Ministry. One of the last actively involved witnesses to the rise, fall and aftermath of the Third Reich, Brunhilde doesn't hide her youthful ignorance of the regime's atrocities, her awe at finding herself at the heart of power, nor does she show any false remorse. Melbourne Performance Season: July 21 August 15 Times: Wed - Sat. 7.30pm, Wed - Sat 7:30pm, Wed1pm, Sat 2pm, Sun 1pm and 6pm Venue: Playhouse, Arts Centre Melbourne Duration: 90 mins (no interval) Tickets: From $79 (Transaction fees apply) Bookings: rtscentremelbourne.com.au or 1300 182 183 Innocent or culpable?

Still ■ Heartstring Theatre presents Still by Jen Silverman from June 30 - July 11 at fortyfivedownstairs, Flinders Lane, Melbourne. Still is described as a darkly comic exploration of loss, intimacy, and motherhood, telling the story of three women connected by a baby who never lived. Morgan (Joanne Booth), 41, is grieving the loss of her stillborn child. Elena (Elisa Armstrong), the failed midwife, is burdened by guilt and teenager Dolores (Sarah Bolch) is
pregnant with a baby she does not want. Meanwhile, Constantinople (Joseph Lai), the child who wasn’t meant to be, wanders in search of his mother and makes an unlikely appearance in each woman’s personal drama. Written by New York City's Jen Silverman’s (The Moors, Tales of the City) Still is said to be a brave and remarkable exploration of grief and family. “Still deals with issues that we rarely see depicted on stage, or even talk about in life,” explains Heartstring Co-AD and actor Elisa Armstrong. Formed in 2016, Heartstring Theatre is a Melbourne-based theatre company that launched with a Green Room Award nominated all female season of Shakespeare's Coriolanus. Followed by David Adjmi’s Marie Antoinette in 2018, they strive to create dynamic, thoughtprovoking theatre, interpreting both classical and new work. The company also aims to address the shortage of great and interesting roles for women by always producing plays where at least half of the roles are female. With the season thwarted in 2020 due to COVID-19, Heartstring Theatre now returns to the stage, partnering with the Stillbirth Foundation, to present Still to Melbourne audiences. Directed by Sarah Vickery and performed by Elisa Armstrong, Sara Bolch, Joanne Booth and Joseph Lai, lighting design is by Gabriel Bethune and set and costume design by Bethany J Fellows Performance Season: June 30 - July 11 Wed – Sat 7:30pm, Sun 5pm Tickets: $45 Full, $35 Concession, $30 Previews (30th June, 1st July) Venue: fortyfivedownstairs - 45 Flinders Lane, Melbourne CBD Duration: 90 minutes, no interval.

12 Angry Men ■ Have You Seen It Productions and Avid Theatre present the drama 12 Angry Men from May 28-June 26 at Stageworx Theatre in Bayswater. Directed by Trish Carr, 12 Angry Men is a gripping examination of twelve jurors as they deliberate the conviction or acquittal of a 16year-old defendant on the basis of reasonable doubt, in a seemingly open-and-shut case. Led by one man’s courage to stand up for his beliefs and search for the truth, the other jurors, intent on playing the hangman, are forced to confront their own moral code and personal motivations whilst deciding on the fate of the boy. Based on the classic 1957 American courtroom drama directed by Sidney Lumet and adapted from a 1954 teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose; the play forces the characters and audience to evaluate their own selfimage through observing the personality, experiences, and actions of the jurors during the deliberation process within the claustrophobic confines of the Jury room. Performance Season: May 28 - June 26 at 8pm Venue: Stageworx Theatre, 3/21 Stud Road, Bayswater (near Mountain Highway) Tickets: $27 Full, $24 Concession Duration: 2hrs. 10 mins. including interval Booking: https://www.trybooking.com/ BPTSV or 9729 8368 - Cheryl Threadgold

Bat sells for $715,120 ■ A baseball bat used by Lou Gehrig during his final full season with the New York Yankees sold for $715,120 at an auction over the weekend. The 34-inch, 36-ounce Bill Dickey model Louisville Slugger model was used by the baseball legend in 1938, according to SCP Auctions, which received 26 bids in the online sale. "It's one of the best Lou Gehrig bats ever discovered and, obviously, the provenance is impeccable," David Kohler, the auction house's owner, told The New York Times. Gehrig quit using the heavier bat at the end of the 1938 season, his penultimate. In 1939, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a fatal neurological disorder that later became known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

Homicides up 33% ■ Major American cities saw a 33 per cent increase in homicides last year as a pandemic swept across the country, millions of people joined protests against racial injustice and police brutality, and the economy collapsed under the weight of the pandemic - a crime surge that has continued into the first quarter of this year. Sixty-three of the 66 largest police jurisdictions saw increases in at least one category of violent crimes in 2020, which include homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, according to a report produced by the Major Cities Chiefs Association. Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Raleigh, North Carolina, did not report increases in any of the violent crime categories.
Ketchup shortage ■ The Coronavirus pandemic has sparked a nationwide ketchup shortage that has restaurants scrambling to get ahold of America's most popular condiment, a new report says. In especially short supply are ketchup packets, a hot commodity for eateries that have relied on takeout orders over the past year as COVID-19 crimped their dining room capacity. Health officials have also helped drive up demand by pushing restaurants to ditch shared ketchup bottles for packets or other single-use containers, the paper reported. Prices for ketchup packets have spiked 13 per cent since January 2020 amid that increased demand and Heinz, the largest producer in the market, hasn't been able to keep up, the story says. The iconic ketchup brand is urging restaurants to be patient while it works to increase its manufacturing capacity by 25 percent so it can churn out more than 12 billion "sachets" a year.
Finding about screams ■ Is your friend in a state of sheer delight, or intense fright? The ear-ringing sounds some people make apparently make it hard to tell. A new study finds most people can't tell the difference between screams of joy and screams of terror. Researchers from Emory University say screams of happiness are often interpreted as screams of fear because both have similar acoustic features. People use screams to express a range of emotions, from happiness, to excitement and surprise, to anger, frustration, and fear. Most of the time, it's pretty clear which one of these feelings a person is trying to communicate. However, it appears screams of joy are much harder to decode if you don't have any additional context. Study authors suggest the confusion may stem from ancient times, when making the right call was the difference between life and death. "To a large extent, the study participants were quite good at judging the original context of a scream, simply by listening to it through headphones without any visual cues," says Professor Harold Gouzoules in a university release. "But when participants listened to screams of excited happiness they tended to judge the emotion as fear. That's an interesting, surprising finding."
■ NBA legend Charles Barkley shared some refreshing and blunt thoughts about the divisions in America, and everyone needs to hear his words. It's known that the retired NBA legend never holds back when he has something to say, and this time he touched on the chaos and carnage in America. Trust me, it's been a minute or two since we've heard something this wide. "Man, I think most white people and black people are great people. “I really believe that in my heart, but I think our system is set up where our politicians, whether they're Republicans or Democrats, are designed to make us not like each other so they can keep their grasp of money and power. “They divide and conquer. I truly believe in my heart most white people and black people are awesome people, but we're so stupid following our politicians, whether they're Republicans or Democrats, and their only job is, 'Hey, let's make these people not like each other. “We don't live in their neighbourhoods, we all got money, let's make the whites and blacks not like each other, let's make rich people and poor people not like each other, let's scramble the middle class. I truly believe that in my heart," Barkley said.

■ For giant cities like New York, cars and traffic are just part of the urban landscape. New York is also one of the growing list of places across North America legalising marijuana. Unfortunately for drivers (and even pedestrians) a new study finds those are two things that simply don't mix. Canadian researchers find legalizing cannabis leads to an increase in fatal auto accidents; potentially putting hundreds of drivers in danger each year. A team from McGill University analysed legal recreational cannabis use and deadly motor vehicle collisions across the United States. They then applied the data to Canadian roads to find out how legalising the drug may impact local roads. "Analyses of data suggest that legalisation of recreational cannabis in United States jurisdictions may be associated with a small but significant increase in fatal motor vehicle collisions and fatalities, which, if extrapolated to the Canadian context, could result in as many as 308 additional driving fatalities annually," writes researcher Sarah Windle and her co-authors in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. In Canada, researchers find cannabis consumption increased by three percent between 2018 and 2019, when the country legalised its use. According to Canadians reporting their own usage, that raised the number of people using marijuana to 17 per cent. Among cannabis users with a driver's licence, the study finds 13 per cent admit driving within two hours of using marijuana. The total number of people admitting to getting on the road after recent cannabis use jumped from 573,000 to 622,000. A 2012 analysis estimates cannabis-related auto collisions in Canada result in $1.1 billion worth of societal and economic damages annually. Drivers under the age of 34 are responsible for the majority of that damage.

Magazine ■ The television series Daniel Boone starred the late Fess Parker in the title role but I guess the younger generations watching the show in re-runs would not realise that the Indian Mingo was played by one of America's popular singers, Ed Ames. Edmund Dantes Urick was born in Malden, Massachusetts in 1927. He was the youngest of a poor family of nine children and quickly learned to reach across the dinner table to ensure that he managed to get something to eat. Edmund grew to be the tallest in the family and is 6' 3''. In his teenage years he became part of a singing group with his brothers Joe, Gene and Vic. In 1947 they sang in hospitals and night clubs around Boston before moving to New York to try their luck. They were signed by Decca Records and then recorded for their subsidiary label, Corral Records, under the name of The Ames Brothers. The story goes that a man who owned a record shop approached Coral Records with two songs that he was sure would become hits. He offered to put up the money to have the records recorded and manufactured. One of the songs was Rag Mop which the boys recorded with a small band. Weeks later they were performing in a nightclub in Florida and they turned on the car radio whilst driving home after the show to hear Rag Mop being played. The announcer said, "This is the hottest record in the USA." Ed was only 18 at the time and suddenly The Ames Brothers were in demand and recording
Whatever Happened To ... Ed Ames By Kevin Trask of 3AW and 96.5 Inner FM hit songs such as Sentimental Me, The Naughty Lady Of Shady Lane and Melodie D'Amour.

In 1956 they starred in their own television series The Ames Brothers Show. They signed with RCA Records and Ed remained with RCA for the rest of his career. After 21 US chart entries the group broke up in 1960 and Ed pursued a solo career on Broadway. He appeared in shows such as the original stage production of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (where he played the Indian) and the musical Carnival. Ed performed for many years in The

His solo recordings were successful with hits songs such as Try To Remember and My Cup Runneth Over. After appearing in several television guest roles, Ed was signed to play Mingo the Indian opposite Fess Parker in the Daniel Boone series. The show was tremendously successful and was in production for four years. Fess and Ed became firm friends. Ed went back to UCLA in 1975 and studied film, television, stage directing and writing. He was involved in one of the longest laughs in television history when he appeared as Mingo on The Johnny Carson Show. Ed threw a tomahawk at a cowboy cardboard cut-out and when the tomahawk landed between the cowboy's legs Carson quipped, "I didn't know you were Jewish." Ed has performed in Australia on several occasions. These days his brothers have passed on but Ed lives happily in Santa Barbara with his second wife and he has three children.

to survive. The sustained attention embodied in this exhibition of drawings by seven contemporary artists is at odds with the fracturing of everyday lives. A quiet urgency awaits you in these works. Janus faces, they claim depiction of the objective world but deliver something far deeper and more interior. Sitting with them is like listening to the building momentum of Ravel's Bolero. The refrain begins with the simplicity of a mark, a rhythm, a line. The subject swells into amplified presence containing not just the object, but an encounter with time, space and sensibility. Common to these 24 drawings is a time of movement or stillness, but not of the momentary. All drawing has space. It is not simultaneous like a photo must be. A line has to begin and end somewhere, either slowly or rapidly. Tone must be built up, delicately, heavily or anywhere in-between on that vast plateau of possibility. We look into the picture of objects, but the experience of them is remade in a way that makes us aware of the depth of our connection to our particular place, and our own perception of time.

Aida - Opera Australia ■ Thursday May 6 saw Melbourne's State Theatre re-open after after a year's closure thanks to COVID-19. The opening production was Opera Australia's production of Aida. A magnificent production to welcome Melbourne theatre and opera lovers back to the State Theatre. This is the first of Opera Australia's critically acclaimed digital productions. The story briefly, is that Egypt needs a hero to lead their army against Ethiopia and the chosen Radamés hopes to win not just the battle but the hand of the beautiful slave girl Aida. There were a couple of hiccups with the surtitles, and one did feel that the scene changes could have been a little quicker. A great spectacle and Opera Australia is to be commended on such a production.

Movies, DVDs with Jim Sherlock, Aaron Rourke What’s Hot and What’s Not FILM: NOMADLAND (Streaming on Disney+): Genre: Drama. Cast: Frances McDormand, David Strathairn, Patricia Grier, Bob Wells, Charlene Swankie. Year: 2020. Rating: M . Length: 108 Minutes. Stars: **** Review: After losing everything in the Great Recession and the death of her husband, a woman embarks on a journey through the American West, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad. A beautifully touching bittersweet, poignant and intimate portrait of one woman, yet an expansive portrait of contemporary America across the vast landscape of the American west, a delicately raw, lyrical and poetic road-movie of loss, aging, adventure and self discovery that neither romanticizes or falls into cliché, a journey that is as authentically and sublimely grounded and tough as it is profoundly moving and empathetic. Based on the non-fiction book "Nomadland" by Jessica Bruder, Oscar winning star Frances McDormand gives a beautifully touching and heartfelt performance of great compassion and believability with all the emotions of a life displayed with a deep sincerity expressed through her eyes and facial features that require little or no words of explanation, and is aided throughout by a marvellous and delightful cast of real-life nomads as her mentors and comrades along the way, as well as a touching performance by veteran actor David Strathairn (Sneakers, L.A. Confidential). Written and Directed by Chloe Zhao, whose previous films include the indie features "Songs My Brothers Taught Me" (2015) and "The Rider," has created a beautifully evocative celebration of humanity through a life on the road that explores all the towering peaks and deepest valley's along the way through a woman and people that are as resilient as the are deeply vulnerable, a unique journey that will be open for discussion long after the credits have finished. Winner of three 2021 Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actress (Frances McDormand) and Best Director (Chloe Zhao). FILM:
JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH (Streaming on Google Play & AppleTV): G e n r e : Biography/Drama/History. Cast: Daniel Kaluuya, LaKeith Stanfield, Jesse Plemons, Martin Sheen, Dominique Fishback. Year: 2021. Rating: M A 1 5 + Length: 126 Minutes. Stars: * * * ½ Review: A young, charismatic activist, becomes Chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party, putting him directly in the crosshairs of the government, the FBI, and the Chicago Police, but to destroy the revolution, the authorities are going to need a man on the inside. Compelling dramatisation based on true events of late 1960s Chicago Black Panther Party Chairman Fred Hampton, and petty criminal and subsequent informant Bill O'Neal, who is blackmailed by the FBI to infiltrate the party, and as a result quickly rises through the ranks, a gripping slice of toxic political reconstruction that gabs the people and the period with candidly energetic and effective realistic results, a potent and galvanizing experience highly reminiscent of the tightly wound no-nonsense classic cinema of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Star Daniel Kaluuya, whose previous credits include "Sicario" (2015), "Get Out" (2017), "Black Panther" (2018) and "Queen & Slim" (2019), gives an emotionally captivating Oscar worthy career turn performance as the revolutionary Black Panther leader, Fred Hampton, and is aided equally by LaKeith Stanfield (Knives Out, Selma) as the FBI informant Bill O'Neal, along with Jesse Plemons (The Irishman, Bridge of Spies, The Post) as the head FBI Agent, Martin Sheen as FBI Head J. Edgar Hoover, and a stellar ensemble cast that includes Dominique Fishback, Ashton Sanders, Algee Smith and Darrell Brit-Gibson. Driven by superlative late 1960s set, costume and production design, co-writer and director Shaka King has created an intelligent, raw, exciting and thought provoking account of racially charged injustice and hatred that stands as relevant today is it did over five decades ago, another in the seemingly never ending inexplicable and insoluble events during the most politically charged, remorseless and contemptuous post-war decade of the 20th Century. Six Oscar nominations, winning Best Supporting Actor (Daniel Kaluuya) and Best Original Music/Song. - James Sherlock
Rourke’s Reviews Arctic ■ (M). 98 minutes. Now available on DVD. Gripping and gruelling in equal measure, this beautifully crafted movie manages to fully involve even though it tells us very little about its central protagonist. The viewer is bluntly introduced to Overgard (Mads Mikkelsen), who we quickly see has been stranded in the Arctic for some time after his plane has crashed, and while using the battered remains as shelter, has been doing his best to try and signal for help. Overgard feels like his prayers have been answered when a helicopter spots him, but the two pilots suffer the same fate, with only one surviving. Managing to get the injured young pilot back to his shelter, Overgard, seeing that rescue now seems unlikely, decides to pack a sled and drag his new companion across dangerous territory toward a station, as the woman urgently needs medical attention. Co-writer/director Joe Penna keeps proceedings very visceral and real, allowing us to immediately relate to Overgard's predicament and mindset. Shot on incredible, inhospitable locations (Iceland to be precise), and gorgeously lensed by cinematographer Tomas Orn Tomasson, Penna is more concerned about his main character's resilience against the elements than flamboyant or over-the-top set-pieces, and thus may make some viewers impatient and unsatisfied, much like Baltasar Kormakur's under-rated Everest did. Mikkelsen, coming off his starring role in the reprehensibly awful Netflix action/comedy/ thriller Polar, thankfully gets back on track here, and is outstanding as Overgard, and certainly looks like he earned his paycheck with what must have been a very demanding shoot. Arctic would make a great double-bill with J.C. Chandor's exceptional survival drama All Is Lost (2013), starring Robert Redford, and while it doesn't reach those lofty heights, it still makes for mustsee viewing. RATING - ****
Relic ■ (M). 89 minutes. Now streaming on Stan. Again showing that genre filmmaking can provide the ideal framework to explore real-world social and personal issues, Relic is an immensely focused, smartly executed piece whose topic will resonate with many viewers who have had to deal with its overwhelming ramifications. Kay (Emily Mortimer) and her
grown daughter Sam (Bella Heathcote) arrive at the former's country family home when she receives a call saying that her mother, Edna (Robyn Nevin), has gone missing. A police search ensues, and while all Kay and Sam can do is wait and hope, they see that Edna's house is falling into disrepair, but also notice that the doors have newly added locks on them. When Edna suddenly reappears, Kay dismisses her behaviour as the onset of dementia, but as their stay lengthens, it appears there is something else in the house. Co-writer/director Natalie Erika James makes an extraordinary feature film debut, intelligently mixing horror and drama (filled with symbolism) to often riveting effect. James creates an oppressive atmosphere (at times reminiscent of films such as Hideo Nakata's Dark Water and Tony Scott's The Hunger), but never forgets the human anguish behind it, and has been blessed with three perfectly cast actors, all of whom deliver firstclass work. Technically the film is also impressive. Relic is a real shot-in-thearm for the Australian film industry (and is a more sustained effort than Jennifer Kent's acclaimed The Babadook), and I can't wait to see what James does next. RATING - ****
Border ■ (MA). 110 minutes. Now available on DVD. Based on the novel by John Ajvide Lindqvist (Let The Right One In), Border is a strange concoction indeed, again using fantastical elements to deconstruct and subvert social mores and beliefs, while centring on a relationship between two lonely, misunderstood outcasts. Eva Melander is terrific as Tina, a disfigured woman who works as a customs officer, able to detect offenders merely by smell. Feeling ostracised due to society's outlook on what is deemed normal, her life is turned upside when she meets Vore (Eero Milonoff), who appears to have similar abilities, and seems to know more about Tina's origins than he initially lets on. Writer/director Ali Abbasi, whose under-rated 2016 debut film Shelley also dealt with family and loneliness, taps into Lindqvist's surreal but affecting spirit extremely well, and delivers one of the most unique on-screen romances you will ever see. RATING - **** - Aaron Rourke

Goodwood set for sizzler ■ This year's Goodwood Handicap to be run at Morphettville in South Australia this Saturday is once again set for a great race, if some of their early noms run. In early markets, bookies have the top South Australian sprinter, Behemoth, who ran fourth last year, to take out the honours. Back in March, the big sprinter ran a good third in the All-Star Mile at Moonee Valley back on March 13, behind Mugatoo, and Russian Camelot, on a wet day at the Valley. South Australian trainer, David Jolley, has the big fellow working well, and with the race only a couple of weeks away, will have him ready to fire. He is a winner of over $2½-million having won eight of his 21 starts, with five minor placings. Behemoth is a giant of a horse at around 17 hands, is solid, and always gives of his best. Bookies have put another South Australian near the top of the market, in last year's Lightning Stakes winner, Gytrash. Unfortunately, not too long after that run, he sustained a leg injury and hasn't raced since, but evidently has been working well, but this could be his first-up run since then. Despite his great ability, if he is ready, he will run a mighty race on his home turf, like Behemoth, but it is a big ask. The one to watch is the three-year old filly, Instant Celebrity, prepared by another leading South Australian trainer, Phil Stokes, who also has stables at Pakenham. Just recently racing against open company, she beat some of the best sprinters going around in the TAB classic over 1200 metres at Morphettville in good style. She has only had seven starts, for five wins, and a third, blotting her copy book with a good run first up, when fourth to Muntaseera over 1100 metres in the Redelva Stakes at Morphettville, back on April 17. Her run to win the TAB Classic was aided by a brilliant ride by top Victorian jockey, Craig Williams, biding his time in the run after drawing well in barrier six. He got the rails run as they straightened up to win well, beating Subpoenaed, and Rubisaki, who showed a return to form. In my opinion she once again will be hard to beat, if they feel they want to run her. Yet another South Australian in the picture is Beau Rossa, who is another three-year-old, who is in great form, having won four of his eight starts in good company. A second and a third are to be added to his total. He is trained by another top South Australian mentor, Will Clarken. He was unlucky not to have won the Caulfield Sires Guineas, beaten a half head by the good filly, Ripper Rita, who ran third in the South Australian Oaks, when he was held up at the turn searching for a run. He is by former top young sprinter, Unencumbered, from My Choisir, so there is plenty of speed there with his breeding. one to watch, if they accept with him. The Goodwood is naturally dominated by South Australian trainers and yet another one:
● Behemoth. Racing Photos. was all class, and he will be right in this if they have a go. An interesting runner is Laverrod, a last start winner at Caulfield back on April 17, winning the VOBIS Gold Sprint over 1200 metres. He is prepared by, S. and J. Casey, from Bullsbrook, in Western Australia, and has now won seven of his 22 starts, with 12 placings. He recently won the Hareeba Stakes at Mornington on their Cup day on March 20, so he is pretty smart. Laverrod is by leading sire, Toronado, an Irish bred stallion, who is taking Australia by storm. The mare, Savatiano, is all class, and is always there when the whips are cracking. Her run to finish second in the recent AllAged Stakes was a ripper finishing hard to ran second behind Kolding.
Ted Ryan
She is ultra-consistent, and never puts in a bad run for the Godolphin team headed by James Cummings. Prior to her second in the All Aged, she won the Canterbury Stakes, beating Mizzy and Masked Crusader, over 1300 metres. The six-year old mare, is heading up to $3 million in earnings, and well deserved. However, she doesn't race much outside of her comfort zone in Sydney. The Victorian galloper, Zoutori, a recent winner of the Newmarket Handicap up the straight six at Flemington, is smart, and could be right in this, if they decide to start him. In the care of Matt Ellerton and Simon Zahra at Flemington, he is among the best sprinters in Australia, and consistent. His run in the T.J.Smith Classic, was a beauty, finishing fourth behind Nature Strip, Masked Crusader, and Eduardo, no mean effort. He won't be far away, and the return to anticlockwise racing, will benefit him. Don't leave him out, he is in a strong camp, and they know what it is all about.
Death of top sire
The international Darley Group has been saddened by the death of Northwood Park's trailblazer, Reset,at the age of 20. Reset, an undefeated multiple Group One winner, and the headline act on the Darley roster in its formative years, passed away on May 4, at Woodlands, where he was enjoying his retirement. Bred by Phil Esplin and Geoff Hodgkinson, Reset was by thechampion stallion, Zabeel, out of dual Group One winning Zeditave mare, Active Lass. Top trainer, Graeme Rogerson, purchased Reset for $ 190,000 at the 2002 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale. - Ted Ryan
Looking for a Professional to run the show? the accomplished five-year-old, Kemalpasa, has matched it with the best for some time. He has won 12 of his 32 starts, with 11 minor placings, and always gives of his best. His win the Irwin Stakes at Morphettville

Won despite 50-metre handicap ■ It’s no mean feat for a horse to win a 2170 metre race from a daunting 50 metre handicap, but that’s exactly what ultra consistent 8Y0 Yankee Paco-Zhari Belle gelding Daquiri was able to do when saluting the judge in the Anzac Day Trotters Handicap at Cobram on Monday May 3. Trained at Kilmore by youthful Thomas Parnell for Julie and William Mifsud, Daquiri driven by Aussie Mifsud began brilliantly as the tapes released continuing to go forward to settle five back along the markers after Bella Lucy galloped inside him with honest gelding Mystic Chip leading from outside the front line. Coming away from the inside in the final circuit to join the leader running into the final bend, Daquiri in a punishing finish prevailed by 1.2 metres from the fast finishing Kilarney Heidi (three back the markers), with Mystic Chip holding down third a head away. The mile rate 201.5. ■ Kialla trainer Geoff (Marto) Martin was a welcome winner when Driffing, a 6Y0 daughter of Grinfromeartoear and Our Tatiana scored in the Gallopoli 1915 Pace over 1670 metres with Leigh Sutton in the sulky. Trapped in the open from gate six, Driffing gained cover racing for the bell when Heza Braxton went forward from three back to race exposed for the final circuit. Off and running in the back straight, Driffing was too strong at the finish, recording a 3 metre margin over Million Dollar Art which gained inside runs from the rear. Our Eduardo Denario was third a neck back after easing wide off the back of the weakening leader Elsus Babe on turning. The mile rate 158.5. ■ Seven year old Rocknroll Hanover-Bella Sam gelding Rocknroll Rhylee was a big winner of the 2170 metre Cobram Barooga RSL SubBranch Pace in a mile rate of 2-00.4. Trained at Shelbourne by the Kate Hargreaves/Alex Ashwood combination, Rocknroll Rhylee after easing away from midfield on the markers made a lightning move to surge clear in the last lap and register a 4.1 metre victory over Dancing Lilly which dropped to trail the leader Heres Your Bonus at the bell, with Jets Art (three back the markers last lap) after leading in the first circuit. The mile rate 2-00.4. ■ West Wyalong trainer Peter Birks makes a habit of winning races over the border and smart 5Y0 Alta Christiano-Smooth As mare Sarah Anne brought up two wins in succession on the track when taking the Cobram Lions Bray Country Clubs Cup (5th Heat) over 2170 metres. Driven by Greg Sugars, Sarah Anne lked throughout from gate three, scoring comfortably by 1.9 metres in advance of B K Swy along the sprint lane after trailing. Crookwell Jake was third 9.7 metres back after following the pair. The mile rate 1-59.
Terang timing ■ The traditional Terang fixture held to coincide with the opening day of the famous Warrnambool three day racing carnival took place on Tuesday with Terang trainer Paddy Lee’s 5Y0 Ready Cash-Donegal Flat entire Celtic Cash a most impressive winner of the D&M Heffernan Memorial Trotters Handicap over 2180 metres. Second up since November last year, Celtic Cash stepped cleanly from outside the front line only to be caught outside cousin Mattie Craven’s Miss Miaia drawn inside him, however luck was on his side as the leader went off stride approaching the front straight on the first occasion allowing Celtic Cash to stride clear. Allowed to bowl for reinsman Glen Craven (another cousin), Celtic Cash trotted to perfection holding a handy margin approaching the home turn. Running to the wire strongly, Celtic Cash scored by 21.9 metres from Me Pat Malone driven by brother Jason Lee which made up many yards from near last in the final circuit, with old timer Jaden Gil 1.7 metres back in third place after trailing the winner. The mile rate 203.6. ■ Hamilton octogenarian trainer Jim Barker a former Gordon Rothacker Medalist, combined with grand-daughter Jackie to land the 1680 metre TAB Long May We Play Pace with hon-

with Len Baker est 10Y0 Safari-Jewell Of Cobargo gelding Johnny Redcoat in a rate of 1-59.4. Settling at the tail from the extreme draw, Johnny Redcoat at start number 178 circled the entire field in the last lap and must have made the home turn six wide before charging away in the straight to record a 1.3 metre margin over Fuller Cee Ess off a three wide trail last lap ahead of him, with Flaming Lucky (one/three) third a half neck away in a finish which changed complexion over the final 60 metres. ■ Five year old Blissful Hall-Smirking Star gelding Bakers Bandit was an upset victor of the Goodtime Lodge Pace over 1680 metres paying tote odds of $31.60. Driven by Jason Lee for local trainer Stephen Lambert, Bakers Bandit enjoyed a cosy trip from the pole trailing the leader Atego Shades (gate five), before using the sprint lane to gain the day by 2 metres in a rate of 1-58.2 from a game Revitalise which raced exposed. Atego Shades held down third 2.6 metres away. ■ Horsham owner/trainer Aaron Dunn’s quality 3Y0 colt Bondi Lockdown, a son of Somebeachsomewhere and Without Guile coming off a great second in the South Australian Derby on April 17 showed his class by winning the 2180 metre Terang Co-Op Mitre 10 Trade Centre Pace. Eased from gate two on the second line to be five back in the running line mid-race as polemarker Batman Barry led easily, Bondi Lockdown was sent forward racing for the bell to park outside Batman Barry for the final circuit. In a final half of 57.3, Bondi Lockdown after looking vulnerable on the home turn rallied in the straight to record a 3.4 metre victory in 200.1 over the leader who wasn’t disgraced, with rank outsider Our Sir Ivanhoe 6.7 metres away in third place following a brilliant drive by Jason Lee to trail the pacemaker after starting from gate three on the second line.
Triple whammy ■ Melton based concessional reinsman Brad Chisholm enjoyed a “night of nights” at Ballarat on Wednesday, chalking up a treble of winners. Parwan trainer Faye Gillespie’s 5Y0 Fling It-Extroglory gelding Moreflingthanbling was first to arrive in the Eureka Learning Acadamy Trotters Mobile over 2200 metres, easing wide in the home straight from three back the markers to defeat a death-seating last lap Querencia by a half head in 2-013.1, with Wingman Fling (three back the markers) third 1.5 metres away. Next to come along was St Arnaud area trainer Denis McIntyre’s 7Y0 Shadow Play-Jayiki gelding Dot The Eye in the 2200 metre Eureka Learning Network Pace. Extricated wide on turning from four back the markers, Dot The Eye finished brilliantly to account for Messerati (one/one – three wide home turn) by 1.1 metres in 1-57.9. Betternbetter was third 1.6 metres away after leading. The third leg was Coghills Creek trainer Desleigh Parish’s 4Y0 Betterthancheddar-Miss Mach Kana 4Y0 gelding Matts Delight in the Ballarat Isuzu Pace over 2200 metres. First up since October last year, Matts Delight after a sweet one/one trip finished full of running to prevail by 7.8 metres in advance of Grizzly Montana which trailed the weakening
leader Abbey Fields, with Ferocious Son third 2.8 metres away. The mile rate 1-57.8. ■ Youthful Horsham trainer/driver Sam Barker’s Alta Christiano-Bella Enobrac gelding Ultimate Vinnie snared the 1710 metre Signature Clean 4 You 3Y0 Vicbred Pace. Trapped outside the pacemaker Ideal Dan (gate five), for the first lap before dropping down to trail, Ultimate Vinnie when clear in the straight finished fast to blouse Bonne Belle (one/one) by 2.1 metres in a slick mile rate of 1-53.6. Drain The Swamp (one/two – three back the markers last lap) was third 1.4 metres away. ■ Melton part-owner/trainer Mario Magri’s very reliable 5Y0 Bacardi Lindy-Abbeys Idle mare Georgias Pride returned to the winners list for the first time since last October when successful in the Signature Clean 4 You Trotters Mobile over 2200 metres. Driven by John Caldow, Georgias Pride led throughout from gate six to just last by a head from Fun On Rum (three back the markers)( and Amour Fraternelle which raced exposed for the last lap finishing a head back. The mile rate 2-03.4.
Events at Kilmore ■ An even eight event card of harness racing was held at Kilmore on Thursday with the 2180 metre Happy Birthday Tyler Caddie 2Y0 Pace the highlight of the evening taken out by Pearcedale trainer Hughie Cathels’ Betting LineStar Chaser gelding Commander Buzz in a mile rate of 2-01.1. Raced and bred by Hugh and wife Lorraine, Commander Buzz who was responsible for an eye catching second to highly touted Beach Villa at Tabcorp Park Melton when making his race debut on April 25, was restrained from gate three by Glenn Hunter to settle five back the markers as Lightning Dan from outside the front line crossed Double The Hunter (gate four) after travelling a short distance. Going forward exposed racing for the bell, Commander Buzz joined Lightning Dan prior to the home turn with the pair turning together. With neither giving an inch all the way up the running, Commander Buzz gained the judge’s nod by a nose in a tricky finish, with Double The Hunter 10.8 metres away in third place. ■ The Attard family have had a great record over the years and Rockbank based trainer/driver Julian Attard’s Guaranteed-Playboys Dream filly Outside Wire was successful in the Buds & Branches Florist 2Y0 Trotters Handicap over 2150 metres. Leading out from gate three before surrendering to first start roughie Atego Dawn, Outside Wire took a retake to again resume control and was never headed, scoring by 8.9 metres in advance of Atego Dawn who held on well. Atout (three back the markers) used the sprint lane for third a half neck away. The mile rate 2-09.3. ■ Kyabram part-owner/trainer/driver Paul Railton made a long awaited return to the winners list when 4Y0 Down Under MusclesHanabration mare Malhana Muscles at start number two gained the day in the Carlton & United Breweries Maiden Trotters Mobile over 2180 metres. Enjoying a cosy passage from gate three on the back of the leader This Quaker (gate five), Malhana Muscles finished best along the sprint lane to prevail by 4.5 metres from Buslin Brody (one/three) and The Night King which raced uncovered being 7.2 metres away. The mile rate 2-05.1. ■ The Geraldo Coffee Pace over 2180 metres went to Sunbury based trainer Tim Butt’s 3Y0 Rock N Roll Heaven-Lettucereason colt Swayzee. With Ballarat concessional reinsman Connor Clarke in the sulky, Swayzee wasn’t rushed out from gate two being left exposed after Stefsastar crossed to lead but only for a short time before crossing over. Always travelling, Swayzee kicked away on turning to register a 17.8 metre margin in advance of Flying Jo which raced outside him, with Major Watson third 4.4 metres back from four back the markers mid-race. The mile rate 1-57.1.

Upset victory
■ Local Merbein owner/breeders Peter & Avis Argiro’s Courage Under Fire-Caulonia Babe gelding Caulonia Courage was an upset victor of The Gateway 3Y0 Pace over 2190 metres at Mildura on Friday, returning a mile rate of 200.6. Trained and driven by Luke Watson, Caulonia Babe led throughout from the pole at odds of $30.70 to register a metre margin over the hot favourite Starvin Marvin (1.30) which raced outside him, with Adelaide visitor Major Reason third 1.4 metres back after racing wide for the final circuit.

Led all the way
■ At Bendigo on Friday, Woodvale trainer Heather Morrissey would have been thrilled when home bred 7Y0 Village Jolt-Retlaw gelding Get Smart Max returned to the winners list for the first time since January last year when successful in the Smartline Personal Mortgage Advertiser Trotters Mobile over 1650 metres. Raced by Heather and husband Bill, Get Smart Max driven by Kerryn Manning led all of the way from gate three and after being rated a treat, defied all challengers to score from Bad As Now (three back the markers – four wide home straight) in a rate of 2-00.6. Bacardi Bindi (one/ one home turn) was third 4.6 metres away. - Len Baker
What’s On Sisters in Crime ■ Sisters in CrimeAustralia 15th Law Week event is Witness for the Prosecution: Supporting survivors of sexual assault. It will be a YouTube event from 6pm, Friday, May 21. Sisters in Crime Australia is joining forces with the Sir Zelman Cowen Centre, Victoria University, to present its 15th Law Week event. An expert panel – Louise Milligan, Jane Patrick, Michele Williams QC and Rachel Spencer – will discuss the experience of survivors of sexual assault and their journey through the Australian legal system. Too often survivors are re-traumatised by their court trial, equating it to reliving the rape or sexual assault because of the questions they are asked, and the details they are required to give about their appearance, behaviour and past experiences. Justice is often elusive in these cases. Almost 90 per cent of sexual assault victims in Australia say they are not willing to go through our justice system. Of the cases that do go to court, approximately 10 per cent end in a conviction, allowing most perpetrators to continue in society unhindered and undeterred. Even when survivors do get justice, the process is so bruising that many wish they had never tried. Join as the panel discusses how the justice system could be improved in order to minimise the trauma for survivors, ensure perpetrators are brought to justice, and society made safer. You can also help support the work to promote women’s crime writing by donating $10 and go in the draw to win one of three $150 book packs - Carmel Shute

The Local Paper - Wednesday, May 12, 2021 - Page 45
My name is David Waugh. I am a Freemason. We believe Mankind should be exactly that. Hello, my name is David Waugh. I live in the Macedon Ranges. I would like to tell you about a men’s fraternity to which I belong. The group is called the Freemasons.
As a hobby, I enjoy old cars, and I am currently President of the Daimler and Lanchester Car Club.
David Waugh, 69. Macedon Ranges. Retired School Teacher. As I say, there are about 7600 Freemasons in Victoria. We support each other, our families and the community.
My husband Paul and I operate a horse rescue farm, buying horses from the racing and show worlds, and giving them new lives such as riding for the disabled, and personal rehabilitation work.
Across the world, there are about six million Freemasons. We actively seek to promote international understanding. We believe mankind should be exactly that.
I have has a life-long association with Freemasonry. I joined Wesley Collegians Lodge when I was in my 20s. You don’t have to been to any particular school to become a Freemason. There are no academic courses to pass.
Our members meet each month. We learn life lessons (degrees), share a meal and a drink with each other, we have social functions that include our family members, and we enjoy doing charity work. We can also visit our mates at other Lodges. It’s fun.
The Australian Army Cadets is the youth military program and organisation of the Australian Army, tasked with supporting participants to contribute to society, fostering interest in Defence Force careers, and developing support for the Force.
The membership of a local Freemasons’ Lodge is likely to include a wide variety of members such as mechanics, engineers, office staff, outdoor workers, as well as doctors, lawyers and professional people. Every occupation under the sun.
Together in Victoria, we donate about $2 million-$3 million to worthy causes through our Freemasons Foundation. And we roll up our sleeves to volunteer for practical hands-on work such as Bushfire and Disaster relief.
My community life has included membership of Rotary, active participation as a Church Warden at St Paul’s in Kyneton, and as a volunteer at the monthly Farmers’ Market in the Macedon Ranges region.
Freemasonry is not a religion. In fact, we don’t talk about religion or politics at our meetings. Across Victoria, there are many Masonic Centres where Lodges meet. We have 240 Lodges.
Our members are keen on making the world a better place. Each Freemason has their own belief in a Supreme Being, but that is their own personal business. We work towards self-improvement.
There are about six million Freemasons worldwide. There are 7600 active members in Victoria. These are good men who want to become better men. In my professional life, I was a school teacher at Ivanhoe. I also worked with young men and women as a Lieutenant-Colonel with the Australian Army Cadets.
We look out for opportunities to support each other. We go out of our way to avoid internal club quarrels. At a time when the conduct of some males is justifiably under question in society, I thought you might like to know there is a fraternity of men who prize best behaviours, good manners and kindness. This means becoming better citizens, better husbands and better fathers. For older men, that means being better grandfathers. Often it is the grandparents who play a chief role in bringing tolerance and understanding in families, especially when diversity and inclusion can be challenges.
