New flag poles for Buxton ■ A joint initiative between the Buxton Progress Association and Buxton Primary School Council is set to transform the entry to the Primary School. Plans are to transform the area from the Buxton Memorial Hall gardens and replace two old individual flag poles (in the school grounds and in front of the hall) with a group of three new modern flag poles. The new flag poles will fly the Australian National Flag, Australian Aboriginal Flag and either the Victorian Flag or a local flag. The Buxton Progress Association and School have established a project team tasked with revamping the entry to the school and installing the three poles. The new work is intended to complement the existing Geoff Olive Garden in front of the hall building. School Principal, Andrew Bagnall, earlier this year asked a local resident “how might we be able to replace the old school flag pole?” It was indicated that a similar question had also been asked at a BPA meeting sometime late last year. The ensuing conversation identified a joint need to upgrade both aged flag poles and find a location that would benefit both the school and the general community. The BPA has for some time been considering how to improve the centre garden and other areas adjacent to the school fence line and gate. In May, both the BPA and School Council endorsed a proposal for three flag poles to be installed in the garden area adjacent to the path leading to the school pedestrian gate. BPA Committee member, Paul Denham, and Mr Bagnall are the joint project managers tasked to deliver the project. A number of concept designs for both the flag pole garden and the central garden areas have been developed by Buxton resident, Jennifer Tonkin. These plans will be on display at the school gate from 3.30pm to 5pm on Thursday, July 25, for public comment. Members of the local community are welcome to view the concept drawings and help finalise the design to be implemented. The intent of the flag pole project is to install three poles (identical to those recently installed at the new Alexandra Police Station) and develop an area that will allow the flags to be viewed from the street. One of the objectives of the project is to provide an area that is safe for the students to raise the flags each school day during school terms. The flag poles will also be illuminated to allow the flags to remain flying after dark outside of the school terms. The anticipated cost to complete the flagpole project is around $5000 nd donations from the community are being sought. Support may be in the form of cash contributions or pro-bono services by suitably qualified

● Plans for the new flagpole at Buxton. Source: Paul Denham tradespeople and service providers. “We have identified the need for electrical works, some bulk excavation works and concrete work as well as new garden areas,” Mr Denham said. “We are hopeful that local tradespeople or contractors might come along for the consultation session and pledge their services”, Mr Bagnall said. The project is being auspiced by the BPA who will manage the fundraising. It is hoped that residents and property owners in and around Buxton will support the project by way of a public subscription. A letterbox drop is planned after the community consultation phase is completed.

Russell sues CEO ‘Worsening mental health’: Court told ■ Yea man Jack Russell has issued fresh Supreme Court action against Murrindindi Shire Council and its Chief Executive Officer Craig Lloyd. Mr Russell has issued proceedings on the Personal Injuries List of the Court. Mr Russell, of Francis St, Yea, seeks to obtain an order of the Court that he should not be restricted from attending at the Yea Library between 9am5pm Fridays, and 10am-12 Noon Saturdays, times at which a particular Council employee does not work. Mr Russell says that Mr Llloyd extended a ban, “without the necesary solution process and therefore the decision is wrong in law and outside Mr Lloyd’s scope of authority, and was the original bans - invalid”. Mr Russell alleges that “Council are implicated and with four known witnesses in an act of perjury and of false witness with sworn statements
● Jack Russell of Yea as known to this Court and as current action brought ... as parallel to this action”. Mr Russell accuses that the Council ‘failed in their obligation to take account of worsen-
ing mental health and well being and that the decision of April-May 2016 and now as extended on November 9, 2019 (sic), and with no end date is far in excess of what benefit could possibly be acheived and was unreasonable, irrational, illogical, ill-founded, wrong in law and therefor unworthy and an abuse of process and as meant (sic) to deceive.” Mr Russell says extensive files have been kept about him by the Council. “Council created the record of ‘Interaction with Jack Russell’ and since 2013 and together with the later record of ‘Contacts made with Mr Jack Russell’ and which is the subject of FOI legislation and investigation by OVIC as a complaint, for failure to release that reciord of my persobnal contact with Council and now brought to the Court for Discovery and Subpoena and production for examination for a contest”.
Deputy cops backlash ■ Murrindindi Shire Deputy Mayor Cr Leigh Dunscombe continues to come undr fierce personal attack, following a unanimous vote of Councillors to reject a planning permit application related to a cemetery at Kinglake. Cr Dunscombe has emphasised that the permit rejection was not to deny a cemetery at Kinglake, but to stop what was regarded as an inappropriate process. Cr Dunscombe said the Kinglake Cemetery Trust had not undertaken sufficient community consultation, there had been no public meetings, and that there had been insufficient public information. “He won’t represent us, he doesn’t get paid enough to do it,” said one member of the public at the Kinglake Ranges, Castella and Toolangi Community Page on Facebook. Another resident said: “I (and others) feel the Council should have done more to assist and support the Trust, who are a group of volunteers, while the Council is a paid body elected by us to lead this community and work with our local groups. "They were trying to get planning zoning changed so they don't have to consult with the community or put plans on display. This is why the council voted against it," they continued. Some locals discussed the possibility of supporting another local candidate for the Kinglake Ward seat at the 2020 election.

Letter to the Editor Molesworth view on Murray-Darling
● Les Ridd On our holiday in January this year my wife and I went to Adelaide and while there we visited Goolwa and Lake Alexandrina to see the barrages that had been installed in the Murray mouth We could not believe what we witnessed, after hearing daily of the fish that were dying in the Darling River and Menindee lakes through lack of water, Lake Alexandrina was brim full and the South Australians were enjoying boating regattas and water sports. Sadly, this water had been taken from the Murray Darling System for supposed environmental reasons to be used to flush the build-up of sand to keep the river mouth open. This is at the detriment environmentally, socially and economically of river communities and farmers who depend on the river water. It was further disturbing to learn that the barrages were installed in the 30s on the lower lakes to keep the precious fresh water in the system separated by the barrages from the estuarine Southern Ocean water. This year alone there has been 1.74 million megalitres taken from the Murray Darling system to fill the Lower Lakes. The evaporation from the shallow 64,900 ha Lake would be considerable. Pre barrage time the tidal influence and rise and fall of the Southern Ocean was significant enough to keep the Murray mouth open instead of now having to use dredging and the flush of fresh valuable water to do so. I have a specific interest in the system, as owning land on the Goulburn River and having been a member of the Upper Goulburn River Catchment Association, where we have been putting a case to stop the Murray Darling Basin Authority from raising the river level from bank height of 9,500ML/day to 15,000 ML/ per day that will see ours and all river frontage farms flooded to have water delivered to the lower lakes in South Australia in the premise that it is environmental water. Water from Eildon to South Australia defies logic. The MDBA plan is built on a premise based on a falsehood, that the Lower Lakes and Coorong have always been "freshwater" for the last 7000 years. This premise was made by South Australian researchers who apparently altered a 2007 report to state their claim. But now that report has been discredited by an eminent scientist Peter Gell who said that Lake Alexandrina "was always an estuary and could not be defined as predominately fresh until construction of the barrages" which were completed in 1940 to stop sea water intruding into the lake. We call to have the plan paused so that further investigation is carried out. The plan in its current form is fighting against nature and must be returned to the natural cycle of sea and fresh flushes. It would be prudent to suggest that the barrages be modernised and automated in order to use the might of the Great Southern Ocean to allow the tides to keep the mouth open and that another lock, Lock Zero be built upstream of Wellington towards Tailem Bend so that Adelaide can be guaranteed fresh water and fresh water can be released on demand into the Lakes when tidal flows are suitable. - Les Ridd, Molesworth

Local Churches Centre for Spirituality ■ The Anglican Parish of Yea and Molesworth is launching the St Luke’s Centre for Spirituality. I believe we are all spiritual people, who choose to live out our spirituality in a range of ways. The writings of the early Desert Mothers and Fathers, the saints and mystics, meditation, silence, journaling and being in nature, all enhance my own spiritual beliefs and practices, as does my daily prayer time and celebrating the Eucharist within the Anglican tradition. We have been looking at and praying about new ways in which St Luke's can reach out and engage with people for whom traditional Anglican worship is not relevant, does not appeal or is unknown, Sunday mornings don't work, Christianity has become a tarnished, etc, etc, etc. We have launched St Luke's Centre for Spirituality and hope that it will offer new and exciting ways of reaching into the wider community, making new connections and building relationships. St Luke's Centre for Spirituality will offer weekly Christian meditation (commencing later this year), workshops and seminars on a range of spiritual areas, film and discussion afternoons/evenings, study groups, quiet days, retreats, morning and evening prayer, special services celebrating the saints, and more as we evolve and move forward. We will liaise with Cassie and Angela of the Taungurung regarding new plantings in the church garden incorporating local indigenous plants, and hopefully they will run some workshops for us so that we can learn from them. The Yea Wetlands, Cheviot Tunnel, Rail Trail, areas along theYea and Goulburn rivers, as well as our church and hall, will be utilised for St Luke's Centre for Spirituality events and services. Our first event will be a Celtic Spirituality Day on Saturday, August 17, where Cath Connelly, professional Celtic harpist, will lead us in exploring Celtic Spirituality and what it offers as a deeply engaging way of relating to God. Details will be advertised in this newspaper shortly, but fliers are up on our Op Shop windows and on our church noticeboards. All are welcome to attend our events.

tal groups based on local evidence identifying litter and illegal dumping priorities for the region. To help develop the plan, the GVWRRG is seeking your input. Completed surveys must be received by Sunday, August 4. - Contributed
‘Shire makes progress’ ■ Murrindindi Shire Council is making strong progress in a number of areas, Cr Margaret Rae told the June 26 meeting. “Matters are proceeding in an orderly fashion with the Aged and Disability Services area and are currently awaiting the formal response from Government in response to the recommendation made,” Cr Rae said. “In the meantime, services are being provided as usual and some forward transitional planning is taking place. “In the Planning Unit things have been a little quieter than usual with some internal changes and adjustments taking place. “So I thought I would take this opportunity as the financial year comes to a close to provide some broad brush information on the year¡¦s activities, albeit not yet quite complete. “However, they provide some interesting information (figures are for July 2018 to May 2019) that is worth reflecting on: ■ planning permits issued under delegation - 228 ■ planning permits issued by Council - 10 ■ VicSmart permits issued 45 (19.7 per cent) “This is the process introduced by the State Government to assist in ‘fast tracking’ more straightforward applications (particularly applicable in the metropolitan area) but it is becoming more frequent here as well, steadily increasing since introduction: ■ 2016/17 - 4 per cent ■ 2017/18 - 14.5 per cent ■ 2018/19 - 19.7 per cent ■ average days to determine permits - 45, with 77 per cent of permits determined within 60 days. “The number of permits issued is comparable to last year, as is the value of the proposed
Local News Film Society night
■ Murrindindi Film Society will screen the 1953 western drama The Naked Spur, set in 1868 in the American Rockies, on Friday (July 19) at Yea Shire Chambers, Doors open at 6.45pm.. This is considered the best of a series of popular western films directed by Anthony Mann which starred James Stewart. Here he plays an unusually unsympathetic role as a bounty hunter forced to accept the help of two strangers who are somewhat less than trustworthy. Treacherous cat and mouse games ensue as they journey through the rugged landscape. Others in the small cast include Robert Ryan, Janet Leigh and Ralph Meeker and the shifting alliances between them make the film an interesting character study. Unusually for a western, the original screenplay was nominated for an Academy Award. The action takes place totally away from civilisation and the film has been described as a "tight, driven story about wounded characters whose psychological problems play out against the dangerous isolation of their surroundings." It has been added to the US National Film Institute's list of significant films. The Society hopes to see as many members as possible attending to enjoy this entertaining and engrossing presentation. Prospective members and first time guests will be made welcome free-of-charge. All enquiries to Jill Dwyer, Secretary, at 5797 2480 or Jill.dwyer@bigpond.com - Jill Dwyer
New lift a win
■ Access to the Diamond Valley Sports and Fitness Centre has been improved following the installation of a lift. The lift is the first of a series of works to ensure the centre becomes a fit-for-purpose and accessible facility. Nillumbik Mayor Karen Egan said it was one of many upgrades needed at the popular facility to ensure all abilities accessibility and the increasing demands on the outdated centre. A new entrance, foyer, new toilets and change rooms, accessibility works, refurbished existing change rooms, the upgrade of a court and additional multi-sport compliant courts will form part of the next stage of works envisaged for the centre. For this next stage Council will put a call out for tenders to commence works in 2020. Council funded $4 million for the Priority Works Package and secured $2.5 million through the State Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund. - Contributed

■ Kinglake resident, Leigh Wykes has been frustrated by VicForests’ refusal to provide a timber harvest map. “An incomplete and incorrect conservation values map has been provided instead. We still don’t even know what method of logging they are using and they are half way through logging this area.” he says. “If Vicforests had treated our concerns with any respect and consideration, it would not have come to this. “It was community that had to do the surveys for threatened species, and when we provided the evidence of a significant population of Greater Gliders, and raised concern that the logging would cause local extinction, they replied with a one-line answer saying essentially that they can log, so they will log,” said Sue McKinnon of Kinglake Friends of the Forest. Local resident Cam Tozer says he rides his trail bike in this forest with his son. “We don’t come here to ride in a cleared paddock” he says. “We explore by 4WD as well and who wants to explore a barren wasteland?” “We raised our concerns six months ago. It is unfair on the community and on the logging contractor that Vicforests have persisted in ignoring valid reasons to cancel logging plans in this area.” - Contributed

One of the clippings includes details of a carnival held at Alex. to celebrate the Prince of Wales’birthday. Events included a range of races for local sportspeople and school children. Cannot help but wonder if some serious athletic races, with local competitors, would boost attendances at the Yea and Alexandra agricultural shows in late Spring.

What The Papers Say Spur problems
■ One tree cleared at 1am - thanks Healesville SES. Between there (halfway between Fernshaw and Dom Dom) and Narby there's lots of stuff on the road including a big Mountain Ash blocking one lane on the bendy straight. Few smaller trees and debris on the hairpins making life difficult too. - Facebook (Monday)
Bombers on rise
■ All grades of netball playing for Bonnie Doon this year are expected to make finals, including the U17 side who came back from a slow start against Moyhu to take out the game by 12 points. - Mansfield Courier
Hospital bus
■ A community bus, previously managed by Mitchell Shire Council for all community groups to use, has been given to The Kilmore and District Hospital. The Kilmore and Wallan branches of Bendigo Bank donated the bus to the Mitchell Shire Council three years ago, to allow community groups to use the service. - North Central Review
Highlands socials
■ The second half of the year has arrived and with it some snow on the higher peaks...at last. Despite the minus temperatures and the most welcome rain, the depths of winter doesn’t seem to be much of a deterrent to the socialising in our local area. From card nights to the return of swing dancing, film nights and the usual coffee mornings, drinks in various locations and rambling across the hills we haven't slowed down to accommodate winter at all. - Granite News
Flood warning
■ Emergency Victoria issued a flood watch warning for the Yarra and Watts rivers above Coldstream. The warning said minor flooding might develop across the North East and UpperYarra catchments from early morning on Saturday (July 13). This followed a cold front embedded in a strong westerly airflow to pass across Victoria. - Mountain Views Mail
Heaven on a stick
■ In the1960s, Yarra Street, Warrandyte, was a milk bar trail. Amazingly enough, then, there were eight milk bars in Warrandyte, stretching from West End to Pigtail Hill at the east end of town. Sadly, there are no milk bars here today, but plenty of cafes where you can sit down to a café latte and a plate of smashed avocado on sour dough. L overs of Drumsticks, Choc Wedges, bags of chippies, liquorice allsorts, sherbet bombs, root beer and milkshakes were in business. When it came to sugar addiction, we local kids were spoilt for choice. The milk bar trail was blue heaven on a stick. Sugar was not a dirty word in 1963. - Warrandyte Diary
$49m gallery
■ A plan for a $49 million regional art gallery in Nillumbik is being hailed as the municipality’s next big tourism drawcard. But the idea has also come under fire, with ratepayers questioning where the gallery would be built and a councillor calling the project’s high cost into question. - Diamond Valley Leader
Lives at risk: Police
■ Motorists continuing to use rural roads across Whittlesea like “race tracks” are recklessly flouting the law and endangering lives, worried police say. It follows a five-month police operation where 202 drivers were slapped with speeding infringements. - Whittlesea Leader

In replying, the reverend gentleman, who was visibly affected, spoke of his happy associations with the choir, whom he asked to loyally support the new rector, the Rev,Mr Brammall. - Yea Chronicle

Thornton footballers in 1890 carnival ■ In our last issue (July 10), we discovered a ‘friendly’ football match between Darlingford and Alexandra on Saturday, September 20, 1884. The Thornton Football Club had its beginnings on Saturday, August 2, 1890, with a match against Alexandra. A return match soon followed. ‘Follow-Up’, the Alexandra newspaper football correspondent, indicated that the sport was popular amongst students at local schools. “I hear that Messrs James and Raynor, the respective head teachers of Alexiandra and Thornton State schools, are naranging a match between 16 bona fide scholars from each school, to take place at an early date,” the August 29, 1890, issue noted. The October 10 issue told of a match between Alexandra State School and a combined team of the Upper Thornton and Lower Thornton State Schools: “The last match of the season between the above schools took place on the ground at the rear of the Rubicon Hotel, Thornton, on Saturday last. “The day was a direct contrast to the Saturday previous, being, in fact, a little too warm. “'I'here was an excellent attendance, including a good number of visitors from Alexandra. “The Alexandra lads on arriving at Thornton were kiondly and hospitably entertained by Mrs H. Baker, previous to going on to the ground. “Great interest..was taken in fhis game, as on the first occasion the teams met, the game resulted in a draw, the second meet the Alexandra lads scored at win, and last Saturday was the final game, which, after a great struggle, was won again by the Alexandra team. “Mr W. Francis acted as central during the first. quarter, until the arrival of Mr A. Stillman, who then issumed his usual place in the field. “The game was a capital one throughout, and was conducted in a most friendly manner.. “The small marking of some of the Thornton lads,--especiallyJ. Rennie, W. Beever, .J. Gilmore,. W. Robinson, R. Christie; G. Taylor, and R. Elliott, was exceptionally good. “The game started .at 2.35, and was played in four spells of 25 minutes each. “Thornton kicked off, and all through. the first quarter some real good play, for lads, was witnessed “Alexandra was the first to score, a behind being got by young Ainsworth, whlich was supplemented directly after by another from Baker.. “However, the Thornton lads succeeded in working the ball into their opponent’s territory, and very soon equaliseed the scores, and the first quarter ended with 2 behind seach. “Soon after starting the second half young Christie got hold of the ball out of a scrimmage and sent it flying through the psosts, thus putting first goal for Thornton, which was received with great cheering. “Though the Alexandra lads worked hard, especially Kellock, Payne,Waymouth and Hubard, and several tries were made, which only resulted in behinds, it was not until a few minutes to time that young Hubbard got the ball, an d succeeded in placing a goal to the credit

Local footy in the Nineties ■ The association between Thornton and Alexandra Football Clubs continued throughout the 1890s. Language that would be found not to be ‘politically correct’ appeared in the Alexandra and Yea Standard of October 9, 1891: “The members of the Alexandra Foothall Club will learn with regret that one of their most prominent players of a year ago is about to undergo a serious operation in the Melbourne hospital, necoesitated by an injury to his log received in the football field during the season of 1890. “We refer to a Mr George Milroy, and in connection with this case we feel it a duty to speak of the great kindness displayed to the sufferer by Dr Charles Ryan, of 37 Collins street, Melbourne, who is now recognised as the most skilful surgeon in the Southern Hemisphere, and whose great professional attainments are only equalled by his kindliness of disposition and thoughtfulness for a his patients. “Mr Milrov was given a letter of introduction to Dr Ryan by Mr J. A. Gordon, and the doctor, after giving him full advice on his injury, gained his im mediate admittance to the Melbourne hospital, with instructions to have the patient put in his (the dootor's) ward. “The following letter has been received by Mr Gordon in connection with thie case: “Dear Sir, I will admit under my care the patient you sent to me. His only chance will be to have the knee joint excised, or failing that he will have to have the leg amputated. “I will do whatever I can for the poor tellow you may rest assured.Yours faithfully, Charles Ryan." “There are many "white" men in the medical profession, but Dr Charles Ryan is one of the very" whitest". ★ A match was to be played on Saturday, May 13, 1893, between home team Alexandra, and Thornton. A return match was scheduled for May 27, 1893. “To.morrow they will play Thornton, on the Rubicon hotel ground. “The team, which leaves Alexandra at one o'clock sharp, will be chosen from the following :Ainsworth, Asquith, Bailey, Croughey, Giles, Hubbard, Kellam, Kellock, Lee, Lloyd, Long, Lynch, Morris, McNichol, Peck; Rance, Sampson; Waymouth, Knight, Orr, Cookson, and Vining. The following week’s press report said that neither team was “fully represented”. “A close and exciting game resulted in a win for the visitors by one goal to nil. “For the locals, Bob Dobson played splendidly, being ably supported by Robinson, W. Dobson, and Tossol; while Croughey, Kellock Rance and Morris showed up prominently for the visitors. “Croughey and McNicoll were the goal kickers. Mr Stillman made a most impartial umpire.” News of a third match between the three sides was printed in The Standard on August 11, 1893. “To-morrow the Thornton boys visit us and are bringing a strong team to wipe out the last “doing” they received. “The following are requested to be on the ground at 12.15pm sharp:Asquith, Bailey, Bartlett, Croughey,

It was 3.30 before a "line-up" was effected, the locals being seven men short, which was made up by Thornton conceding them four of their men, “A very friendly game ensued, which was too rough though to be considered as football. “The ground was in a very wet state, and the ball was such that it could not be handled. “The result was a win for Thornton by 4 goals to Buxton's nil.

On arriving on the ground, Captain Lipsombe counted his men, and found that only fifteen had turned up, but this did not dishearten the Alexandra boys as Thornton had their'full twenty, and felt pretty sure of gaining a victory. “The play all round was good, and a credit to both teams.

Everest, it’s the big climb
■ Australia's best sprinter, Santa Ana Lane, named after the Hong Kong Spectacular area, has firmed right into favouritism for the world's richest sprint race to be run at Randwick come October 19. Prepared by leading Victorian trainer Anthony Freedman, he has put all before him taking control of Group One sprint races, including the world renowned, T.J.Smith Classic, which he won back in April. The five-year-old son of Lope De Vega, scored brilliantly in the T.J. bolting in, beating the best field that could be put together for the classic. With the win in the big event he made it 10 wins from his 33 starts, with six minor placings, all being in top company. Bookies have opened him up at around $5.50 for the big one, with a top class field paid up for the multi-million event, worth more than $5 million to the winner. This year's field without a doubt is one of the best fields to contest the event. On the second line is the ultra-consistent Osborne Bulls, prepared by James Cummings for the Godolphin team. Back in March he finished second on two occasions behind In Her Time in the Lightning Stakes at Flemington, and then buttered up with a great second in the Newmarket Handicap behind sprint queen Sunlight. In the Newmarket he was well back at the 300-metre mark, and flashed home to go down by just under a length. His run in the T.J.Smith Classic was again a ripper, coming from a long way back to run a good second to Santa Ana Lane. Then in the Doomben 10,000 he got a long way back, but flashed home to run a great second to The Bostonian Osborne Bulls is being quoted early around the $7 mark, and every time he competes, he puts his heart into it. After the Doomben 10,000 his record stood at 16 wins, with seven minor placings, missing a place on only one occasion. An interesting nomination is that of ,Western Australian champion mare Arcadia Queen, prepared by Western Australians Grant and Alana Williams, and won the time honoured Kingston Town Classic in Western Australian in easy style. She is approaching becoming a mare come August 1, and will be a stronger chance to tackle the stallions and geldings, that she will be competing against in the Everest. At the time of going to press, she hadn't missed a place in her six starts, winning five of them with a second. She will be in the firing line for a long way, and a big chance. Another top galloper that will be right in it is the Grant Hickman trained stallion, Pierata, who is a top galloper, having won six of his seventeen starts with seven minors. He ran an encouraging fifth behind Santa Ana Lane in the T.J. Two starts back he was a good third behind Santa Ana Lane in the VRC Classic up the straight six over 1200 metres, a Group One event.
● Santa Ana Lane. Racing Photos Race at Group Two, and is prepared by wily trainer, the legendary Les Bridge, who knows what it is all about. The owners are keen racing people and shrewd where they place him, so it is interesting to see how he goes. On the next line is one of the best racing, Sunlight, who will become a mare come August 1, and is without doubt one of the best sprinters, not only in Australia, but the world. After her third in the T.J.Smith back inApril, she had won 10races from her 16 starts with five minor placings, In the care of astute trainer, Tony McEvoy, she is certain to be among those in the run to the line. She has won Group One races like the Newmarket, and the William Reid Stakes, against the best and doesn't know how to run a

bad race. Proven by her outstanding record; including a placing in the Golden Slipper, as a two-year old. She will be right in it. The w inner of the first two Everests, Redzel, will go around again, but his form of late before a spell was a bit ordinary. He finished out of a place in the T.J.Smith and had every chance, but he is better than that. He is with master trainer, Peter Snowden and his son Paul, at Randwick, and the two feel that they can get him right for another crack at the big money. With the two wins in the Everest it boosted his stakemoney to an incredible nearly $15.5 million. After the T.J. Smith his record stood at 14 wins, with eight minor placings. He is at double figures and the Snowden camp is sure that they can get the star back to his best, but it is a crackerjack field, and he will be seven, when he goes around. But can you leave him out, he knows all about the caper, if he can put his best foot forward on the big day he could add another $5 million plus. Leave him out if you want, but at your own risk. Leading Sydney trainer, Chris Waller, has nominated his good sprinter, Nature Strip, formerly with Victorian trainer Darren Weir. He has a load of talent, but I feel that against top opposition, he lacks a little in the stamina department. Y es he is good on his day, and has a good turn of foot, and at his last start in the Doomben 10,000, he missed the kick, and had to do it hard to get back in the event, despite this, it was a good run when fourth. At that stage he had won 10 of his 15 starts with two minors. However I am not a Nature Strip fan, especially against the heavies. Of the others, Alizee, from the James Cummings camp, is good on her day, but this is going to be tough. In Her Time, with Sydney trainer Kris Lees, a winner of the Lightning Stakes at Flemington, is good, but it appears to be a big task here. I like, Santa Ana Lane, Osborne Bulls and Sunlight. - Ted Ryan

The Arts Arts Festival
■ Truth is found when we question who we are, what we are and where we are. It is this notion that has inspired Jonathan Holloway in his fourth and final year as artistic director of the Melbourne International Arts Festival to source those voices that keep us centred, that keep us questioning and that keep us evaluating the reality of the world around us. It is in the arts that we find the voices that expose the exactness of our lives; the music, the dance, the visual arts and theatre. There are indigenous voices with the Tanderrum ceremony of access linking the agelessness of the land with issues that still resonate today which will be echoed in Blackwrights Showcase where First Nation writers will be heard. Local choreographer, Lucy Guerin, reprises her internationally acclaimed Split, a duet where two performers vie for limited space. Stephanie Lake’s Colossus, by way of contrast, pulsates with 50 bodies. The sonic aural hallucination of The Flaming Lips, the haunting sounds of Indonesia in Ghost Gamelan, jazz, rock, soloists and Baroque chamber music all find a forum. The festival will also be a visual treat. The Melbourne Art Trams will once again travel those iron rails that thread the infrastructure and the people of the city together. The past and the contemporary find expression in local galleries and even in the prehistoric landscape which inspired Castillo Deball to use the very fossils of the continent to allow us to reimage ourselves. The Spiegletent in the Arts Centre Forecourt will confront gender, our very reality and the legacy of the music industry. Works on stage will confront politics, disability, sexuality and the social, personal and physical constraints that we confront when we search for the truth about ourselves, our lives and the place in our world. This review is understandably broad and elliptical. It cannot fully depict how the six world premiere pieces, the 12 Australian premier performances and the three exclusive Australian pieces that have been commissioned and sources will speak to those audiences that attend. But the energy and urgency of such a program will provide the means to question, to evaluate and critique our lives, thoughts and beliefs. The festival spans October 2-20.

Courage to Care: An exhibition and Educational program: A number of public presentations will run throughout the duration of the exhibition. Participants will be guided through the exhibition by member of Courage to Care and will have the opportunity to hear a testimony from a Holocaust survivor. These presentations will be in English and are free to attend. RSVP is essential. Courage to Care is an education program supported by a travelling exhibition that educates Australians about racism, prejudice and discrimination by exploring the actions of the Righteous Among the Nations (those men and women who risked their own lives during the Holocaust to save others) and heroes of other genocide to challenge visitors to consider their open attitudes to prejudice, discrimination, racism and bullying. The program inspires participants to be upstanders, not bystanders when confronted by actions they know are wrong. Exhibition dates: July 22 - August 2.

Kit Goodman, a good man ● Ravenna Bouckaert, Julia Christensen, Vivan Nguyen, Erin Pattison and Susie Sparkes in The Other Place. ■ The Other Place by Christopher Bryant will be presented from August 28 to September 8 at Theatre Works, 14 Acland St, St Kilda. The first setting is Carlton, 1967. Schoolteacher Betty Burstall begins sketching plans for what will eventually become La Mama Theatre, the pre-eminent independent home of new, experimental, and previously unseen Australian work. Next, Stratford-upon-Avon, 1975. Director Buzz Goodbody, founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s The Other Place, a theatre of new, experimental and previously unseen work, is about to begin rehearsing her production of Hamlet. Both women are attempting to drag their surroundings into the future and reshape the world’s artistic landscape. One of them is about to end her life. A new Australian work by writer Christopher Bryant, the premiere season of The Other Place brings together an all femaleidentifying ensemble to explore the historical and dramaturgical repercussions of the erasure of female artistry in theatre. Directly inspired by the real lives of Betty Burstall and Buzz Goodbody, The Other Place is a theatrical and philosophical rumination on two influential women. The ways their lives mirrored in the theatre they produced, the misogyny they experienced, and the lives they changed. “The Other Place was inspired by some pretty uncomfortable parallels I saw in the stories of Betty Burstall and Buzz Goodbody and things that are still going on today; misogyny, gate-keeping, exclusion, and so on,” explains writer Christopher Bryant. “While there’s a lot we know about Burstall, a lot of Goodbody’s story has had to be fictionalized or massaged out of past records, references to her in interviews, and so on. “We’ve created this new Australian work with a diverse group of creatives. “It's important to see diverse and non-normative bodies taking up space and telling a story. “This level of inclusion is something that should be prevalent across most art-forms but is still pretty rare.” Written by Christopher Bryant Directed by Jessica Dick Assistant Direction by James Christensen Performed by Ravenna Bouckaert, Julia Christensen, Vivan Nguyen, Erin Pattison, and Susie Sparkes Lighting Design by John Collopy Set Design by Ella Butler Sound Design by Joshua Bliss Performance Season: August 28 – September 8 Times: Tues. - Sat. 7.30pm, Sun 5pm Tickets: $45 Full, $37 Concession, $30 Preview, Student and Under 30s Bookings: 9534 3388 or online at www.theatreworks.org.au/program/theother-place Venue: Theatre Works - 14 Acland St, St Kilda www.theatreworks.org.au - Cheryl Threadgold

● Lachie Hewson and Callum O'Malley in Open Heart. Photo: Cameron Taylor. ■ Emerging Melbourne writer Dean Robinson’s original play Open Heart is being presented August 12-17 at The Butterfly Club. In a messy Coburg apartment we meet Angus (Lachie Hewson), a semi- accomplished author, and his long time boyfriend Mark (Callum O'Malley), an Executive Assistant. There is a deep love between them, even if they've grown apart. Dean Robinson asks how much can love last when two people are heading in different directions? Shining light on issues between bisexual and gay men and open relationships, Director Stephen Amos explores how two men from different worlds can work together to keep their love as it used to be. Robinson calls this play an amalgamation of (500) Days Of Summer, Call Me By Your Name and Please Like Me. He is interested in what makes a successful relationship function, and how time and change can effect a true love. Can resentment overpower love? Or does love truly trump all? Already at the age of 23, playwright Robinson has worked in various facets of theatre including his other written work The Date (Melbourne Fringe). He has is own independent theatre company EbbFlow Theatre Co, which presented their first first production Blackrock by Nick Enright. Director, Stephen Amos, has directed Next To Normal (MUST) in 2017, and also was assistant director for Awakening, under the direction of green room award winner Daniel Lammin. Callum O’Malley and Lachie Hewson are both music theatre graduates from VCA. Callum’s credits include Vivid White (MTC), AChorus Line and Into The Woods (VCA).

Coming to grips with a new white Italian ■ I wrote last week about the South Australian district of McLaren Vale doing very nicely of late with a couple of southern European red varieties. This week I'm staying in McLaren Vale but focusing on fiano, a new Italian white variety for the district and Australia. "Our fiano journey is around 18 years old, but the variety itself has been around for several thousand years," said Coriole's founder, Mark Lloyd. " Thick-skinned, highly fragrant and refreshing natural acidity make this an extremely welcome addition to Australia's winemaking scene. "We kicked off fiano's journey in Australia and I'm not exaggerating when I say that the 2018 is our finest vintage yet." Well said, Mark, and I agree with you heartily. The variety is more than welcome here and will produce some great Australian dry whites … and be blended, judiciously of course, into some greatAustralian dry reds. WINE REVIEWS Coriole 2018 Fiano ($28): A marvellously fresh, some would say simple, dry white wine, but all the better for its simplicity. If you like young semillon or sauvignon blanc, do yourself a favour and try this. It's a great match for fettuccine carbonara, so try a bottle over the kitchen table or take some to your favourite Italian bistro.

Robert Penfold, all class
California v Texas
■ Robert Penfold has won many awards during his career which indicates the depth and talent of this highly respected journalist. He won the Thorn Award for his coverage of a deadly Sydney fire, a PenguinAward for an attack on mourners during an IRA funeral in Belfast, and a Logie Award for Sydney winning the 2000 Summer Olympics, a Walkley Commendation after coming under fire in Iraq and then in 2006. Robert won the prestigious Walkley Award for his amazing coverage of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans. Robert has been reporting on the hot stories all over the world and has brought the world into our living rooms for more than 35 years. He has been the North American Bureau Chief for the Nine Network since 1997. Robert has reported on the Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump presidencies. He was there when Nelson Mandela was freed and when the Berlin Wall came down. What a career and on a personal level Robert is one of the kindest and supportive people you would ever meet. The industry did not change him. He is still that wide eyed reporter from his first job at the Macarthur Advertiser in his home town Campbelltown, NSW. Happy semi-retirement my friend, you have earned it.
Stock market autopilot ■ It's no secret that machines are taking up a bigger and bigger share of investing, but the extent of their influence is approaching shocking proportions. It is as high as 80 per cent, according to one major investing firm. Passive investments such as index funds and exchangetraded funds control about 60 per cent of the equity assets, while quantitative funds, those which rely on trend-following models instead of fundamental research from humans, now account for 20 per cent of the market share, according to estimates from J.P. Morgan. This means so much of stock trading is now in the hands of automated buyers and sellers that the market is increasingly sensitive to headlines and more prone to sharp price swings, many notable investors believe. Omega Advisors founder Leon Cooperman previously said computer trading is creating a ‘Wild West’ with the markets, calling for an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Suburb runs out of cash ■ Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates are the richest people in the world, worth $119 billion and $107 billion respectively. Amazon is headquartered in Seattle and Microsoft is just outside the city, and both billionaires have homes in the nearby small town of Medina, Washington. With a population of just over 3000, Medina is the seventh richest zip code in the US with a median home value of $2.77 million, and the town has a median household income of $186,464 in 2017, the most recent data available. By comparison, the 2017 median household income in the US was $60,336 yet Medina is running out of money and the irony is lost on no one.
■ There is a long-running battle between the Lone Star State and the Golden State. Except it's not really a battle since one side seems determined to lose. For instance, Mark Perry of the American Enterprise Institute often uses extensive tables filled with multiple variables when comparing high-performing states and low-performing states. But when comparing California and Texas, sometimes all you need is one data source because it makes a very powerful point. Which is what he recently did with that data on one-way UHaul rental rates between California cities and Texas cities. There's a very obvious takeaway from this data, as Mark explains there is a huge premium for trucks leaving California for Texas and a huge discount for trucks leaving Texas for California. U-Haul's one-way truck rental rates are market-based to reflect relative demand and relative supply. In California there's a relatively low supply of trucks available and a relatively high demand for trucks destined for Texas; in Texas there's a relatively high supply of trucks and a relatively low demand for trucks going to California. Therefore, U-Haul charges 3-4 times more for one-way truck rentals going from San Francisco or LA to Houston or Dallas than vice-versa based on what must be a huge net outflow of trucks leaving California leading to low inventory and a net inflow of trucks arriving in Texas. In 2016 the ratios for the same matched cities were much smaller, 2.2 to 2.4 to 1, suggesting that the outbound migration from California to Texas as reflected in one-way U-Haul truck rental rates must have accelerated over the last three years.

■ Multiple federal agencies kept up an outdated security system over the past decade that left Americans' personal information vulnerable to theft, according to a damning new Senate report. The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations found the failures came from the Departments of State, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Transportation, Education,Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, and the Social Security Administration. The Hill reports all eight agencies used outdated "legacy systems," with six failing to install system patches when they should have, and seven failing to provide adequate protections. One of the most significant failings came from the Social SecurityAdministration, which risked leaking the personal information of more than 60 million Americans. Subcommittee Chairman Rob Portman (R-OH) said the agencies "failed at implementing basic cybersecurity practices, leaving classified, personal, and sensitive information unsafe and vulnerable to theft."
Increasingly angry ■ Nearly 9 in 10 Americans say people are more likely to express anger on social media than in person. Do you find yourself getting ticked off more often than you used to? If the answer is yes, you're not alone. Some 84 per cent of people surveyed said Americans are angrier today compared with a generation ago, according to the latest NPR-IBM Watson Health poll. When asked about their own feelings, 42 per cent of those polled said they were angrier in the past year than they had been further back in time. Anger can have an effect on health. "I think of anger as a health risk," says Dr. Anil Jain, vicepresident and chief health information officer at IBM Watson Health. "The fact that the survey showed that we have a generation of Americans who believe that they are more angry than they were a generation ago tells me that this is going to lead to some consequences from a health point of view."

■ Ethel Merman made her debut on Broadway in the stage musical Girl Crazy in 1930 at the age of 22. She never had a singing lesson in her life, never had a major hit song and although Ethel made several films, she was not regarded as a major film star – so why was Ethel Merman so popular? I guess it was because she had star quality and was a showbusiness ‘legend’ in every sense of the word. Ethel Agnes Zimmermann was born in Astoria, Queens in New York City in 1908. After graduating from High School, Ethel worked as a stenographer and then started singing in New York nightclubs. In 1924 she changed her name to Ethel Merman. At this time she met Jimmy Durante and they became lifelong friends. During a season at The Palace in 1930 Ethel was invited to audition for the role of Kate Fothergill in the new George and Ira Gershwin musical Girl Crazy. She got the role and this was a turning point in her career. Ethel got standing ovations when she sang the song I Got Rhythm holding a high C note for 16 bars. Ethel Merman was signed to a film contract with Warner Brothers Studios and her first onscreen appearance was in Follow The Leader playing opposite Ed Wynn and Ginger Rogers. Her film roles improved over the years and she made We’re Not Dressing (with Bing

Crosby), Kid Millions (with Eddie Cantor) and Alexander’s Ragtime Band (with Tyrone Power). In 1946 she played Annie Oakley in the stage musical Annie Get Your Gun which ran for 1147 performances at The Imperial Theatre on Broadway. Ethel was not cast in the film version and when Judy Garland dropped out due to illness Betty Hutton was cast in the role of Annie Oakley. In 1950 Ethel played the lead role in Call Me Madamon Broadway and won the Tony award for her performance. This time she was cast in the film version playing opposite Donald O’Connor, VeraAllen and George Sanders. In 1954 she starred in one of my favourite films There’s No Business Like
● Ethel Merman Showbusiness and her co stars included Donald O’Connor, Dan Dailey, Mitzi Gaynor and Marilyn Monroe. Ethel continued to dominate Broadway and created the role of Mama Rose in Gypsy in 1959. A friend of mine slipped into a matinee of Gypsy and sat in the end seat in the back row of the theatre. As the lights dimmed he was vaguely aware of this woman in the darkness standing beside him in the isle.
Then the marvellous Miss Merman let go at the top of her voice with “Sing out Louise!” and my friend nearly went through the roof. I thought Ethel was wonderful in the film It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World as the “mother from hell.” Dorothy Provine, who played her daughter in the film, once told me that she was a “formidable lady.” In the early 1960s Ethel came to Australia to do television work and performed at venues such as Chequers Nightclub in Sydney. Ethel was married four times and had two children. Her marriage to Ernest Borgnine in 1964 lasted for a month and in her autobiography Ethel devoted a chapter to the marriage in the form of a blank page. Her final on-screen performance was in the comedy Flying High in 1980. Ethel Merman passed away on the February 15, 1984. She had the nickname of ‘leather lungs’ but there is no doubt that Ethel Merman was a marvellous singer and a true showbusiness legend – sadly missed.

FILM: FIGHTING WITH MY FAMILY: Genre: Biography/Comedy/Drama. Cast: Florence Pugh, Lena Headey, Nick Frost, Jack Lowden, Vince Vaughn, Dwayne Johnson. Year: 2019. Rating: M. Length: 108 Minutes. Stars ***½ Review: A former wrestler and his family make a living performing at small venues around the UK, while his kids dream of joining the big league of the WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment. Based on a true story, this delightfully engaging old fashioned under-dog crowd-pleaser for wrestling fans and non wrestling fans alike delivers on supremely balanced comedy, drama, quirkiness and pathos due to a stellar cast driven by an intelligent, witty, sentimental and sparkling screenplay and direction by writer-director and co-star Stephen Merchant, who handles the material and the cast with a light touch, genuine firmness, respect and sensitivity. Carried along by a big beating heart, a unique freshness and humble simplicity, it's headed by a sledgehammer performance by Florence Pugh (Lady Macbeth, Little Drummer Girl) as Paige, the girl with big dreams against impossible odds, Lena Headey (Game of Thrones) and Nick Frost as the eccentric off-the-wall parents that make The Addams Family look perfectly normal, Vince Vaughn in a droll, inspired and side-splitting performance a WWE manager-trainer, and Dwayne 'The Rock" Johnson in a riotous turn as himself. Formulaic and familiar through and through, think Billy Elliot meets Rocky, no matter, this is a hugely entertaining, real-life, feel good story that whisks you along on a tried and tested recipe that succeeds in leaps and bounds, a heart-warming, funny, poignant, exciting, uplifting, unapologetic and refreshing slice of a life that, even though we've seen it many times before, this is an irresistible and worthy addition to the many inspirational under-dog tales before it, those we can't seem get enough of and relish time and time again.

FILM: PET SEMATARY: Genre: Horror/Thriller. Cast: Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz, John Lithgow, Jete Laurence. Year: 2019. Rating: MA15+ Lemgth: 105 Minutes. Stars: *** Verdict: A family move into a rural home on a busy back road where they are also welcomed by an eerie 'Pet Sematary' located nearby, and after the tragedy of their cat being killed by a truck, the cat is buried in a mysterious area near pet cemetery, which is definitely not as it seems. Based on the popular novel horror by Stephen King, this remake is for the most part a step-up from its from its 1989 predecessor, due to a number subtle and effective changes, including the removal of an unnecessary sub-plot from the original film and book, and while some loyalists may cringe at the changes made, the creepy tone, dark humour, and macabre and nightmarishly disturbing thread at its original core remains firmly in place. As with Peter Medak's superb and superior 1980 ghostly horror "The Changeling," which also delves deeply into loss and understanding, the happenings here succeed for the most part due to good enough performances from a seemingly always drowsy Jason Clarke as Doctor/Husband, Louis, Amy Seimetz as the wife, Rachel, John Lithgow as the neighbor, Judd, but most notably, Jete Laurence in a career defining, scene stealing turn as the daughter, Ellie. Neither version is without its flaws, and though moments of introduction and setting in the original 1989 version are superior, there are moments here superior to the those in the original version, but in the end, this is a spooky enough addition to the Stephen King horror genre that will surely raise a few eye-brows, a few hairs and trim a few finger nails along the way, a journey of a family's constantly confounding and terrifying inner turmoil with enough depth in its soil to make sure each new inhabitant buried below rises with ease. FILM: THE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: Genre: Drama. Cast: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Parker Sevak, Gael Garcia Bernal. Year: 2018. Rating: M. Length: 96 Minutes. Stars: ***½ Review: A kindergarten teacher and struggling poet in New York becomes obsessed with one of her students whom she believes is a child prodigy. Based on the 2014 Israeli film of the same name, co-writer and director Sara Colangelo has skilfully balanced the delicate lines between character study, nurturing, mentoring, manipulation and psychological complexity, and in doing so, quietly achieving a gripping, poignant, disturbing and heartfelt art-house odyssey without cliché of inner turmoil that is both every parents dream, and before long every parent's worst nightmare.

Apollo 11 ■ (G). 93 minutes. Opens in selected cinemas July 18. Now showing at IMAX. If you think you've experienced the Apollo 11 mission in every possible way, then think again, as this exceptional documentary, released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, brings the landmark event to life in a manner no other previous production has. Chronicling what was a massive and dangerous undertaking, editor/ director Todd Douglas Millerbeautifully presents every aspect with expert clarity, using recently unearthed footage (shot in breathtaking 65mm, which has been stunningly restored) to fully demonstrate what an incredible accomplishment this truly was, and amplifies the impact by unveiling the whole thing as if we were watching it for the very first time. Backed by a highly effective, almost Euro-thriller type score, Miller meticulously constructs the journey from start to finish, whether it be vision of the launchpad, the large crowd of onlookers, or the numerous people working tirelessly behind the scenes. I'm normally not a fan of documentaries taking up space in cinemas, as they are just not made to be seen on the big screen (and depriving highly cinematic films from receiving a deserved theatrical run), but Apollo 11 is most definitely an exception to the rule, and must be the first feature length documentary that has to be experienced at IMAX. The use of widescreen and splitscreen imagery is highly reminiscent of Michael Wadleigh's iconic Woodstock (1970), but this similar visual artistry is more than mere imitation, with Miller perfectly entwining every important component into a gripping, epic whole. This would make a great double bill with Damien Chazelle's uneven but fitfully compelling First Man (or if you want to indulge in conspiracy theories, you could double it up with Peter Hyams' excellent 1978 thriller Capricorn One). RATING - ****½
■ (PG). 98 minutes.Available now on Blu-ray and DVD. Animation director Mamoru Hosoda, who has built up an outstanding body of work since his breakthrough film The Girl Who Leapt Through Time in 2006 (after working on the excellent anime series Samurai Champloo), delivers the goods again, blending delicate family drama with the fantastic and magical. Kun (voiced by 18-year-old Moka Kamishiraishi), is an only child who has enjoyed the devoted attention of his parents (Gen Hoshino and Kumiko Aso) for all of his four years. This all changes when newborn sister Mirai arrives on the scene. With mum and dad having to concentrate a lot of their time on the baby, with the former going back to work being an added shock to his daily routine, Kun begins to act up, showing growing disrespect towards both his parents and Mirai. Just when Kun thinks things can't get any more chaotic, he is suddenly visited by the future teenage version of his baby sister (Haru Kuroki), who sets the young boy on a journey to discover just how important family is, and how lost he would be without their love and support. Hosoda regularly explores the themes of family, responsibility and identity, and he does so again with his usual skill, ensuring his characters remain real even when elements around them cross over into the surreal (the film is reminiscent of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time). With so many Hollywood efforts relying heavily on frenetic energy and generic one-liners, it's great to see an animated film that trusts its audience, daring to put character development and interplay frontand-centre. Like the best Japan has to offer, the hand-drawn animation is superb, as is the sound design, and Hosoda triumphs once more as he shows genuine care and affection for the people that fill his gorgeous landscapes. RATING - ****

Bleak House - by Charles Dickens
We have here among us, my friends,” and Mr. Chadband, untwisting the point with his dirty thumb-nail, bestows an oily smile on Mr. Snagsby, signifying that he will throw him an argumentative back-fall presently if he be not already down, “a brother and a boy. Devoid of parents, devoid of relations, devoid of flocks and herds, devoid of gold and silver and of precious stones. Now, my friends, why do I say he is devoid of these possessions? Why? Why is he?” Mr. Chadband states the question as if he were propoundlng an entirely new riddle of much ingenuity and merit to Mr. Snagsby and entreating him not to give it up. Mr. Snagsby, greatly perplexed by the mysterious look he received just now from his little woman — at about the period when Mr. Chadband mentioned the word parents — is tempted into modestly remarking, “I don’t know, I’m sure, sir.” On which interruption Mrs. Chadband glares and Mrs. Snagsby says, “For shame!” “I hear a voice,” says Chadband; “is it a still small voice, my friends? I fear not, though I fain would hope so — ” “Ah — h!” from Mrs. Snagsby. “Which says, ‘I don’t know.’Then I will tell you why. I say this brother present here among us is devoid of parents, devoid of relations, devoid of flocks and herds, devoid of gold, of silver, and of precious stones because he is devoid of the light that shines in upon some of us. What is that light? What is it? I ask you, what is that light?” Mr. Chadband draws back his head and pauses, but Mr. Snagsby is not to be lured on to his destruction again. Mr. Chadband, leaning forward over the table, pierces what he has got to follow directly into Mr. Snagsby with the thumb-nail already mentioned. “It is,” says Chadband, “the ray of rays, the sun of suns, the moon of moons, the star of stars. It is the light of Terewth.” Mr. Chadband draws himself up again and looks triumphantly at Mr. Snagsby as if he would be glad to know how he feels after that. “Of Terewth,” says Mr. Chadband, hitting him again. “Say not to me that it is NOT the lamp of lamps. I say to you it is. I say to you, a million of times over, it is. It is! I say to you that I will proclaim it to you, whether you like it or not; nay, that the less you like it, the more I will proclaim it to you. With a speaking-trumpet! I say to you that if you rear yourself against it, you shall fall, you shall be bruised, you shall be battered, you shall be flawed, you shall be smashed.” The present effect of this flight of oratory — much admired for its general power by Mr. Chadband’s followers — being not only to make Mr. Chadband unpleasantly warm, but to represent the innocent Mr. Snagsby in the light of a determined enemy to virtue, with a forehead of brass and a heart of adamant, that unfortunate tradesman becomes yet more disconcerted and is in a very advanced state of low spirits and false position when Mr. Chadband accidentally finishes him. “My friends,” he resumes after dabbing his fat head for some time — and it smokes to such an extent that he seems to light his pocket-handkerchief at it, which smokes, too, after every dab — “to pursue the subject we are endeavouring with our lowly gifts to improve, let us in a spirit of love inquire what is that Terewth to which I have alluded. For, my young friends,” suddenly addressing the ‘prentices and Guster, to their consternation, “if I am told by the doctor that calomel or castor-oil is good for me, I may naturally ask what is calomel, and what is castor-oil. I may wish to be informed of that before I dose myself with either or with both. Now, my young friends, what is this Terewth then? Firstly (in a spirit of love), what is the common sort of Terewth — the working clothes — the everyday wear, my young friends? Is it deception?” “Ah — h!” from Mrs. Snagsby. “Is it suppression?” A shiver in the negative from Mrs. Snagsby. “Is it reservation?” A shake of the head from Mrs. Snagsby — very long and very tight.
Charles Dickens “No, my friends, it is neither of these. Neither of these names belongs to it. When this young heathen now among us — who is now, my friends, asleep, the seal of indifference and perdition being set upon his eyelids; but do not wake him, for it is right that I should have to wrestle, and to combat and to struggle, and to conquer, for his sake — when this young hardened heathen told us a story of a cock, and of a bull, and of a lady, and of a sovereign, was THAT the Terewth? No. Or if it was partly, was it wholly and entirely? No, my friends, no!” If Mr. Snagsby could withstand his little woman’s look as it enters at his eyes, the windows of his soul, and searches the whole tenement, he were other than the man he is. He cowers and droops. “Or, my juvenile friends,” says Chadband, descending to the level of their comprehension with a very obtrusive demonstration in his greasily meek smile of coming a long way downstairs for the purpose, “if the master of this house was to go forth into the city and there see an eel, and was to come back, and was to call unto him the mistress of this house, and was to say, ‘Sarah, rejoice with me, for I have seen an elephant!’ would THAT be Terewth?” Mrs. Snagsby in tears. “Or put it, my juvenile friends, that he saw an elephant, and returning said ‘Lo, the city is barren, I have seen but an eel,’ would THAT be Terewth?” Mrs. Snagsby sobbing loudly. “Or put it, my juvenile friends,” said Chadband, stimulated by the sound, “that the unnatural parents of this slumbering heathen — for parents he had, my juvenile friends, beyond a doubt — after casting him forth to the wolves and the vultures, and the wild dogs and the young ga-
zelles, and the serpents, went back to their dwellings and had their pipes, and their pots, and their flutings and their dancings, and their malt liquors, and their butcher’s meat and poultry, would THAT be Terewth?” Mrs. Snagsby replies by delivering herself a prey to spasms, not an unresisting prey, but a crying and a tearing one, so that Cook’s Court re-echoes with her shrieks. Finally, becoming cataleptic, she has to be carried up the narrow staircase like a grand piano. After unspeakable suffering, productive of the utmost consternation, she is pronounced, by expresses from the bedroom, free from pain, though much exhausted, in which state of affairs Mr. Snagsby, trampled and crushed in the piano-forte removal, and extremely timid and feeble, ventures to come out from behind the door in the drawing-room. All this time Jo has been standing on the spot where he woke up, ever picking his cap and putting bits of fur in his mouth. He spits them out with a remorseful air, for he feels that it is in his nature to be an unimprovable reprobate and that it’s no good HIS trying to keep awake, for HE won’t never know nothink. Though it may be, Jo, that there is a history so interesting and affecting even to minds as near the brutes as thine, recording deeds done on this earth for common men, that if the Chadbands, removing their own persons from the light, would but show it thee in simple reverence, would but leave it unimproved, would but regard it as being eloquent enough without their modest aid — it might hold thee awake, and thou might learn from it yet! Jo never heard of any such book. Its compilers and the Reverend Chadband are all one to him, except that he knows the Reverend Chadband and would rather run away from him for an hour
than hear him talk for five minutes. “It an’t no good my waiting here no longer,” thinks Jo. “Mr. Snagsby an’t a-going to say nothink to me tonight.” And downstairs he shuffles. But downstairs is the charitable Guster, holding by the handrail of the kitchen stairs and warding off a fit, as yet doubtfully, the same having been induced by Mrs. Snagsby’s screaming. She has her own supper of bread and cheese to hand to Jo, with whom she ventures to interchange a word or so for the first time. “Here’s something to eat, poor boy,” says Guster. “Thank’ee, mum,” says Jo. “Are you hungry?” “Jist!” says Jo. “What’s gone of your father and your mother, eh?” Jo stops in the middle of a bite and looks petrified. For this orphan charge of the Christian saint whose shrine was at Tooting has patted him on the shoulder, and it is the first time in his life that any decent hand has been so laid upon him. “I never know’d nothink about ’em,” says Jo. “No more didn’t I of mine,” cries Guster. She is repressing symptoms favourable to the fit when she seems to take alarm at something and vanishes down the stairs. “Jo,” whispers the law-stationer softly as the boy lingers on the step. “Here I am, Mr. Snagsby!” “I didn’t know you were gone — there’s another half-crown, Jo. It was quite right of you to say nothing about the lady the other night when we were out together. It would breed trouble. You can’t be too quiet, Jo.” “I am fly, master!” And so, good night. A ghostly shade, frilled and night-capped, follows the law-stationer to the room he came from and glides higher up.And henceforth he begins, go where he will, to be attended by another shadow than his own, hardly less constant than his own, hardly less quiet than his own.And into whatsoever atmosphere of secrecy his own shadow may pass, let all concerned in the secrecy beware! For the watchful Mrs. Snagsby is there too — bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh, shadow of his shadow. Chapter XXVI— Sharpshooters Wintry morning, looking with dull eyes and sallow face upon the neighbourhood of Leicester Square, finds its inhabitants unwilling to get out of bed. Many of them are not early risers at the brightest of times, being birds of night who roost when the sun is high and are wide awake and keen for prey when the stars shine out. Behind dingy blind and curtain, in upper story and garret, skulking more or less under false names, false hair, false titles, false jewellery, and false histories, a colony of brigands lie in their first sleep. Gentlemen of the green-baize road who could discourse from personal experience of foreign galleys and home treadmills; spies of strong governments that eternally quake with weakness and miserable fear, broken traitors, cowards, bullies, gamesters, shufflers, swindlers, and false witnesses; some not unmarked by the branding-iron beneath their dirty braid; all with more cruelty in them than was in Nero, and more crime than is in Newgate. For howsoever bad the devil can be in fustian or smock-frock (and he can be very bad in both), he is a more designing, callous, and intolerable devil when he sticks a pin in his shirt-front, calls himself a gentleman, backs a card or colour, plays a game or so of billiards, and knows a little about bills and promissory notes than in any other form he wears. And in such form Mr. Bucket shall find him, when he will, still pervading the tributary channels of Leicester Square. But the wintry morning wants him not and wakes him not. It wakes Mr. George of the shooting gallery and his familiar. They arise, roll up and stow away their mattresses. Mr. George, having shaved himself before a looking-glass of minute proportions, then marches out, bare-headed and bare-chested, to the pump in the little yard and anon comes back shining with yellow soap, friction, drifting rain, and exceedingly cold water. As he rubs himself upon a large jack-towel

From Page 63 blow ing like a military sort of diver just come up, his hair curling tighter and tighter on his sunburnt temples the more he rubs it so that it looks as if it never could be loosened by any less coercive instrument than an iron rake or a currycomb — as he rubs, and puffs, and polishes, and blows, turning his head from side to side the more conveniently to excoriate his throat, and standing with his body well bent forward to keep the wet from his martial legs, Phil, on his knees lighting a fire, looks round as if it were enough washing for him to see all that done, and sufficient renovation for one day to take in the superfluous health his master throws off. When Mr. George is dry, he goes to work to brush his head with two hard brushes at once, to that unmerciful degree that Phil, shouldering his way round the gallery in the act of sweeping it, winks with sympathy. This chafing over, the ornamental part of Mr. George’s toilet is soon performed. He fills his pipe, lights it, and marches up and down smoking, as his custom is, while Phil, raising a powerful odour of hot rolls and coffee, prepares breakfast. He smokes gravely and marches in slow time. Perhaps this morning’s pipe is devoted to the memory of Gridley in his grave. “And so, Phil,” says George of the shooting gallery after several turns in silence, “you were dreaming of the country last night?” Phil, by the by, said as much in a tone of surprise as he scrambled out of bed. “Yes, guv’ner.” “What was it like?” “I hardly know what it was like, guv’ner,” said Phil, considering. “How did you know it was the country?” “On account of the grass, I think. And the swans upon it,” says Phil after further consideration. “What were the swans doing on the grass?” “They was a-eating of it, I expect,” says Phil. The master resumes his march, and the man resumes his preparation of breakfast. It is not necessarily a lengthened preparation, being limited to the setting forth of very simple breakfast requisites for two and the broiling of a rasher of bacon at the fire in the rusty grate; but as Phil has to sidle round a considerable part of the gallery for every object he wants, and never brings two objects at once, it takes time under the circumstances. At length the breakfast is ready. Phil announcing it, Mr. George knocks the ashes out of his pipe on the hob, stands his pipe itself in the chimney corner, and sits down to the meal. When he has helped himself, Phil follows suit, sitting at the extreme end of the little oblong table and taking his plate on his knees. Either in humility, or to hide his blackened hands, or because it is his natural manner of eating. “The country,” says Mr. George, plying his knife and fork; “why, I suppose you never clapped your eyes on the country, Phil?” “I see the marshes once,” says Phil, contentedly eating his breakfast. “What marshes?” “THE marshes, commander,” returns Phil. “Where are they?” “I don’t know where they are,” says Phil; “but I see ’em, guv’ner. They was flat. And miste.” Governor and commander are interchangeable terms with Phil, expressive of the same respect and deference and applicable to nobody but Mr. George. “I was born in the country, Phil.” “Was you indeed, commander?” “Yes. And bred there.” Phil elevates his one eyebrow, and after respectfully staring at his master to express interest, swallows a great gulp of coffee, still staring at him. “There’s not a bird’s note that I don’t know,” says Mr. George. “Not many an English leaf or berry that I couldn’t name. Not many a tree that I couldn’t climb yet if I was put to it. I was a real country boy, once. My good mother lived in the country.” “She must have been a fine old lady, guv’ner,” Phil observes. “Aye! And not so old either, five and thirty years ago,” says Mr. George. “But I’ll wager that at ninety she would be near as upright as me, and near as broad across the shoulders.” “Did she die at ninety, guv’ner?” inquires Phil. “No. Bosh! Let her rest in peace, God bless her!” says the trooper. “What set me on about country boys, and runaways, and good-for-nothings? You, to be sure! So you never clapped your eyes upon the country — marshes and
Magazine dreams excepted. Eh?” Phil shakes his head. “Do you want to see it?” “N-no, I don’t know as I do, particular,” says Phil. “The town’s enough for you, eh?” “Why, you see, commander,” says Phil, “I ain’t acquainted with anythink else, and I doubt if I ain’t a-getting too old to take to novelties.” “How old ARE you, Phil?” asks the trooper, pausing as he conveys his smoking saucer to his lips. “I’m something with a eight in it,” says Phil. “It can’t be eighty. Nor yet eighteen. It’s betwixt ’em, somewheres.” Mr. George, slowly putting down his saucer without tasting its contents, is laughingly beginning, “Why, what the deuce, Phil — ” when he stops, seeing that Phil is counting on his dirty fingers. “I was just eight,” says Phil, “agreeable to the parish calculation, when I went with the tinker. I was sent on a errand, and I see him a-sittin under a old buildin with a fire all to himself wery comfortable, and he says, ‘Would you like to come along a me, my man?’ I says ‘Yes,’ and him and me and the fire goes home to Clerkenwell together. That was April Fool Day. I was able to count up to ten; and when April Fool Day come round again, I says to myself, ‘Now, old chap, you’re one and a eight in it.’ April Fool Day after that, I says, ‘Now, old chap, you’re two and a eight in it.’ In course of time, I come to ten and a eight in it; two tens and a eight in it. When it got so high, it got the upper hand of me, but this is how I always know there’s a eight in it.” “Ah!” says Mr. George, resuming his breakfast. “And where’s the tinker?” “Drink put him in the hospital, guv’ner, and the hospital put him — in a glass-case, I HAVE heerd,” Phil replies mysteriously. “By that means you got promotion? Took the business, Phil?” “Yes, commander, I took the business. Such as it was. It wasn’t much of a beat — round Saffron Hill, Hatton Garden, Clerkenwell, Smiffeld, and there — poor neighbourhood, where they uses up the kettles till they’re past mending. Most of the tramping tinkers used to come and lodge at our place; that was the best part of my master’s earnings. But they didn’t come to me. I warn’t like him. He could sing ’em a good song. I couldn’t! He could play ’em a tune on any sort of pot you please, so as it was iron or block tin. I never could do nothing with a pot but mend it or bile it — never had a note of music in me. Besides, I was too ill-looking, and their wives complained of me.” “They were mighty particular. You would pass muster in a crowd, Phil!” says the trooper with a pleasant smile. “No, guv’ner,” returns Phil, shaking his head. “No, I shouldn’t. I was passable enough when I went with the tinker, though nothing to boast of then; but what with blowing the fire with my mouth when I was young, and spileing my complexion, and singeing my hair off, and swallering the smoke, and what with being nat’rally unfort’nate in the way of running against hot metal and marking myself by sich means, and what with having turn-ups with the tinker as I got older, almost whenever he was too far gone in drink — which was almost always — my beauty was queer, wery queer, even at that time. As to since, what with a dozen years in a dark forge where the men was given to larking, and what with being scorched in a accident at a gasworks, and what with being blowed out of winder case-filling at the firework business, I am ugly enough to be made a show on!” Resigning himself to which condition with a perfectly satisfied manner, Phil begs the favour of another cup of coffee. While drinking it, he says, “It was after the case-filling blow-up when I first see you, commander. You remember?” “I remember, Phil. You were walking along in the sun.” “Crawling, guv’ner, again a wall — ” “True, Phil — shouldering your way on — ” “In a night-cap!” exclaims Phil, excited. “In a night-cap — ” “And hobbling with a couple of sticks!” cries Phil, still more excited. “With a couple of sticks. When — ” “When you stops, you know,” cries Phil, putting down his cup and saucer and hastily removing his plate from his knees, “and says to me, ‘What, comrade! You have been in the wars!’ I didn’t
say much to you, commander, then, for I was took by surprise that a person so strong and healthy and bold as you was should stop to speak to such a limping bag of bones as I was. But you says to me, says you, delivering it out of your chest as hearty as possible, so that it was like a glass of something hot, ‘What accident have you met with? You have been badly hurt. What’s amiss, old boy? Cheer up, and tell us about it!’ Cheer up! I was cheered already! I says as much to you, you says more to me, I says more to you, you says more to me, and here I am, commander! Here I am, commander!” cries Phil, who has started from his chair and unaccountably begun to sidle away. “If a mark’s wanted, or if it will improve the business, let the customers take aim at me. They can’t spoil MY beauty. I’M all right. Come on! If they want a man to box at, let ’em box at me. Let ’em knock me well about the head. I don’t mind. If they want a light-weight to be throwed for practice, Cornwall, Devonshire, or Lancashire, let ’em throw me. They won’t hurt ME. I have been throwed, all sorts of styles, all my life!” With this unexpected speech, energetically delivered and accompanied by action illustrative of the various exercises referred to, Phil Squod shoulders his way round three sides of the gallery, and abruptly tacking off at his commander, makes a butt at him with his head, intended to express devotion to his service. He then begins to clear away the breakfast. Mr. George, after laughing cheerfully and clapping him on the shoulder, assists in these arrangements and helps to get the gallery into business order. That done, he takes a turn at the dumb-bells, and afterwards weighing himself and opining that he is getting “too fleshy,” engages with great gravity in solitary broadsword practice. Meanwhile Phil has fallen to work at his usual table, where he screws and unscrews, and cleans, and files, and whistles into small apertures, and blackens himself more and more, and seems to do and undo everything that can be done and undone about a gun. Master and man are at length disturbed by footsteps in the passage, where they make an unusual sound, denoting the arrival of unusual company. These steps, advancing nearer and nearer to the gallery, bring into it a group at first sight scarcely reconcilable with any day in the year but the fifth of November. It consists of a limp and ugly figure carried in a chair by two bearers and attended by a lean female with a face like a pinched mask, who might be expected immediately to recite the popular verses commemorative of the time when they did contrive to blow Old England up alive but for her keeping her lips tightly and defiantly closed as the chair is put down. At which point the figure in it gasping, “O Lord! Oh, dear me! I am shaken!” adds, “How de do, my dear friend, how de do?” Mr. George then descries, in the procession, the venerable Mr. Smallweed out for an airing, attended by his granddaughter Judy as body-guard. “Mr. George, my dear friend,” says Grandfather Smallweed, removing his right arm from the neck of one of his bearers, whom he has nearly throttled coming along, “how de do? You’re surprised to see me, my dear friend.” “I should hardly have been more surprised to have seen your friend in the city,” returns Mr. George. “I am very seldom out,” pants Mr. Smallweed. “I haven’t been out for many months. It’s inconvenient — and it comes expensive. But I longed so much to see you, my dear Mr. George. How de do, sir?” “I am well enough,” says Mr. George. “I hope you are the same.” “You can’t be too well, my dear friend.” Mr. Smallweed takes him by both hands. “I have brought my granddaughter Judy. I couldn’t keep her away. She longed so much to see you.” “Hum! She hears it calmly!” mutters Mr. George. “So we got a hackney-cab, and put a chair in it, and just round the corner they lifted me out of the cab and into the chair, and carried me here that I might see my dear friend in his own establishment! This,” says Grandfather Smallweed, alluding to the bearer, who has been in danger of strangulation and who withdraws adjusting his windpipe, “is the driver of the cab. He has nothing extra. It is by agreement included in his fare. This person,” the other bearer, “we engaged in the street outside for a pint of beer.
www.LocalMedia.com.au
Which is twopence. Judy, give the person twopence. I was not sure you had a workman of your own here, my dear friend, or we needn’t have employed this person.” Grandfather Smallweed refers to Phil with a glance of considerable terror and a half-subdued “O Lord! Oh, dear me!” Nor in his apprehension, on the surface of things, without some reason, for Phil, who has never beheld the apparition in the black-velvet cap before, has stopped short with a gun in his hand with much of the air of a dead shot intent on picking Mr. Smallweed off as an ugly old bird of the crow species. “Judy, my child,” says Grandfather Smallweed, “give the person his twopence. It’s a great deal for what he has done.” The person, who is one of those extraordinary specimens of human fungus that spring up spontaneously in the western streets of London, ready dressed in an old red jacket, with a “mission” for holding horses and calling coaches, received his twopence with anything but transport, tosses the money into the air, catches it over-handed, and retires. “My dear Mr. George,” says Grandfather Smallweed, “would you be so kind as help to carry me to the fire? I am accustomed to a fire, and I am an old man, and I soon chill. Oh, dear me!” His closing exclamation is jerked out of the venerable gentleman by the suddenness with which Mr. Squod, like a genie, catches him up, chair and all, and deposits him on the hearth-stone. “O Lord!” says Mr. Smallweed, panting. “Oh, dear me! Oh, my stars! My dear friend, your workman is very strong — and very prompt. O Lord, he is very prompt! Judy, draw me back a little. I’m being scorched in the legs,” which indeed is testified to the noses of all present by the smell of his worsted stockings. The gentle Judy, having backed her grandfather a little way from the fire, and having shaken him up as usual, and having released his overshadowed eye from its black-velvet extinguisher, Mr. Smallweed again says, “Oh, dear me! O Lord!” and looking about and meeting Mr. George’s glance, again stretches out both hands. “My dear friend! So happy in this meeting! And this is your establishment? It’s a delightful place. It’s a picture! You never find that anything goes off here accidentally, do you, my dear friend?” adds Grandfather Smallweed, very ill at ease. “No, no. No fear of that.” “And your workman. He — Oh, dear me! — he never lets anything off without meaning it, does he, my dear friend?” “He has never hurt anybody but himself,” says Mr. George, smiling. “But he might, you know. He seems to have hurt himself a good deal, and he might hurt somebody else,” the old gentleman returns. “He mightn’t mean it — or he even might. Mr. George, will you order him to leave his infernal firearms alone and go away?” Obedient to a nod from the trooper, Phil retires, empty-handed, to the other end of the gallery. Mr. Smallweed, reassured, falls to rubbing his legs. “And you’re doing well, Mr. George?” he says to the trooper, squarely standing faced about towards him with his broadsword in his hand. “You are prospering, please the Powers?” Mr. George answers with a cool nod, adding, “Go on. You have not come to say that, I know.” “You are so sprightly, Mr. George,” returns the venerable grandfather. “You are such good company.” “Ha ha! Go on!” says Mr. George. “My dear friend! But that sword looks awful gleaming and sharp. It might cut somebody, by accident. It makes me shiver, Mr. George. Curse him!” says the excellent old gentleman apart to Judy as the trooper takes a step or two away to lay it aside. “He owes me money, and might think of paying off old scores in this murdering place. I wish your brimstone grandmother was here, and he’d shave her head off.” Mr. George, returning, folds his arms, and looking down at the old man, sliding every moment lower and lower in his chair, says quietly, “Now for it!” “Ho!” cries Mr. Smallweed, rubbing his hands with an artful chuckle. “Yes. Now for it. Now for what, my dear friend?” “For a pipe,” says Mr. George, who with great composure sets his chair in the chimney-corner, takes his pipe from the grate, fills it and lights it, and falls to smoking peacefully.

Learning to Ride
Balance Bikes from Ivanhoe Cycles Balance Bikes (also called training bikes) are pedalless bikes designed to provide fun and exercise and to teach the basic skills of steering, balance and co-ordination. They are suited to a child from 2 to 5 years of age. The child simply sits astride the balance bike and "walks" while steering with the handlebars.
It effectively allows them to learn balance without having to learn to pedal at the same time. It cuts the learning "gradient" down. They are also called pre bikes or first bikes. Balance bikes are becoming increasingly popular, as it is so much easier to learn to ride. Learning to ride can be achieved at their own pace. A less confident child can “walk� it around for as long as they like, then
when ready, they can gradually lift their feet and scoo along until they are ready to simply push off and jus roll along. More confident kids will be flying around with huge smiles in no time at all. Because they have a sturdy aluminium or steel frame and well constructed wheels they are virtually trouble free, and can be passed down from child to child.

Ex-Kiwi wins Maryborough pace
■ Popular Maryborough commenced another week of trotting throughout the state and Bendigo trainer Kent Harpley produced a training coup by producing the much travelled ex-Kiwi 9Y0 Sands A Flying-Zwish gelding Phil Monty (first up for the stable), to win the Maryborough District Advertiser Pace for N67 to N81 class over 2150 metres. Having his first outing since January 4 when trained in partnership by Shane and Lauren Tritton at Menangle (NSW), Phil Monty with Greg Sugars in the sulky began best from gate three to lead and after being allowed to dictate terms, ran out a 2.6 metre victor in a rate of 157.8 over Jayedgar (one/two - three wide last lap) and the well supported Valentina Brave which trailed the winner, finishing 2.5 metres away in third place. It was Phil Monty's 17th victory at start number 124, his previous win being at Tabcorp Park, Melton in August 2017.
Came from behind
■ Local Carisbrook part-owner/trainer/driver Brett Shipway caused an upset in the 2190 metre Bendigo Power Coating Trotters Mobile for N30 to N51 class at Maryborough when "iron" 6Y0 Bacardi Lindy-Earls Gold mare A Nip Will Do greeted the judge. Making her 134th race appearance, A Nip Will Do settled three back along the markers from the pole with Primz Luck (gate 4) leading. Using the sprint lane as Lion Heart came away from the back of the leader on the home turn, A Nip Will Do sailed home along the sprint lane to register a neck margin (her 2nd) in advance of The Debater (three wide last lap from the tail), with Lion Heart 2.2 metres away in third place. The mile rate 2-05.8.
Just returned
■ The VSTA Trotters Mobile for N30 to N51 class over 2190 metres saw Daylesford's AnneMaree Conroy successful with Flyin Around, a 4Y0 daughter of Yield Boko and Aldebaran Queenie which has only just returned to the Conroy stable. Driven by brother Glenn, Flyin Around was eased from inside the second line to possie at the rear. Moving forward stylishly three wide in the final circuit, Flyin Around ran to the wire impressively to score by an easy 6.7 metre margin over the favourite Majestic Pinevale (one/ one - four wide home turn) in a rate of 2-04.9. Bad Boy Leroy was third 4.8 metres back after racing exposed for the last lap.
Led throughout
Harness Racing
Darby McGuigan's 4Y0 Art Major-Blissful Night mare Rebeccas Art notched up her 5th victory when greeting the judge in the Ballarat Tree Works Pace for N56-N66 class over 1710 metres. Given the run of the race from the pole trailing No Alibi which crossed her from gate two, Rebeccas Art after coming away from the inside on turning finished best to score by 1.9 metres over the hot favourite Caitlyn Clarke (one/ one), with No Alibi holding down third a nose way. The mile rate 1-59.

Outside front row
■ Wednesday saw two meetings in the State, with Cobram racing in the afternoon and Ballarat at night. At Cobram, Barmah trainer Trevor Gallaway was successful with home bred Safari-Southern Falcon 6Y0 mare Ona Safari who produced a strong effort to snare the major prize in the Saddleworld Shepparton Pace over 2170 metres. Driven by Damian Wilson, Ona Safari was taken back from outside the front row as the start was effected, with heavily supported border hopper All Good leading from gate four. Setting off three wide solo in the last lap of the spacious circuit, Ona Safari outstayed her rivals to score by 3.7 metres from Bensonfire (one/ two) and All Goof which raced roughly in the straight. The mile rate 2-01.4.
Run of the race
■ High Country (Norong) trainer/driver Mark Buckingham's Roll With Joe-Rutherglen Ruby gelding Axinite was a soft victor of the 1670 metre Cobram Feed & Grain 3Y0 Maiden Pace in a rate of 1-57.3. Given the run of the race one/one from gate six, Axinite peeled wide on turning to score comfortably by 6.8 metres over Illawong Jovial which trailed the pacemaker Roylance, with Chooz Reactor (three back the markers) third a half head away.
Winer trailled
■ Longlea trainer Glenn Sharp landed the CIF Trading Trotters Mobile ss over 2170 metres with Tennotrump-Eagles Image 4Y0 gelding Tennoeagle who races regularly week in-week out. With Josh Duggan in the sulky, Tennoeagle was trapped three wide from outside the front line, going forward to park outside the leader Aztec Inti (gate five), before receiving cover from Bacardi Wood. After a cosy trip, Tennoeagle angled three wide prior to the home turn and put the race beyond doubt in a couple of strides, racing away to prevail by 16.9 metres in 2-03.5 from Kyvalley Frank (three back the markers) and Illawong Sunny who was 6.8 metres back after trailing the winner.
■ Tabcorp Park Melton raced on Tuesday and Delacombe breeder/owner/trainer Stephen Clarke's smart Modern Art-Fleur Delacour filly Miss McGonagall was victorious in taking out the $12,000 Vincent Vicbred Super Sires Series Bronze Pace for Three Year Olds over 2240 metres. Driven by Terang based Jason Lee, Miss McGonagall led throughout from gate five to defy all challengers, defeating Lady Rocknrolla from a mile back on the markers by a half neck in a punishing finish, with Final Chapter third 3.3 metres back after following the winner. The mile rate 2-00.9. ■ The old team of Tony Peacock (trainer) and Brian Gath (driver) renewed acquaintances when Kiwi bred Bettors Delight-Their Excuse 6Y0 gelding Bettor Enforce was most impres■ Snake Valley trainer/driver Damien Burns' sive in taking the 2170 metre Jim Howes MeHurrikane Kingcole-Princess Dilinger colt morial Pace.

■ Cranbourne part-owner/trainer Terry Howard and partners chalked up another victory (number five) with improving 5Y0 Bacardi LindyCruzenthepacific mare Rosanna Lindy who snared the Elements Mind & Body Trotters Handicap for N52 to 120 class over 2200 metres giving Darby McGuigan a double for the night. Coming from 10 metres, Rosanna Lindy settled three back in the moving line as polemarker Beta Hanoverdakash led. Asked for an effort on turning, Rosanna Lindy finished full of running down the centre of the track to register a 1.2 metre margin over the pacemaker in a 2-07.9 mile rate on the rain effected track. Ventimiglia (one/one) was third 2.8 metres away after joining the leader on the home turn.
Trots at Swan Hill
■ Trotting returned to Swan Hill on Thursday and Champion Great Western reinswoman Kerryn Manning enjoyed a great night at the winter fixture, finishing the night with a double. Former New Zealand North Islander Steam Punk, a 3Y0 gelded son of McArdle and Trevi Bromac made a one act affair of the DNR Logistics Pace for NR52 to NR55 class over 1750 metres to open the night's proceedings. Trained by Kerryn, Steam Punk was taken back from outside the front line at the start to settle at the tail of the field as Monash (gate three) led. Moving forward three wide at the bell to race exposed for the final circuit, Steam Punk cruised to the front on the final bend to win in a breeze, 3.8 metres in advance of Mornings which followed her home after racing in the open for the first lap, with Village Art 3.7 metres away in third place after trailing the weakening pacemaker. The mile rate 1-58.2. Semi-stablemate 5Y0 Courage Under FireDundee Hanover gelding Deadly Assassin trained by husband Grant Campbell, was too tough for his rivals in the 1750 metre NR 62NR66 Pace. Again taken back to the rear from gate six, Deadly Assassin commenced a forward move racing for the bell to park outside the leader Fourstarzzzspecial getting there very easily. Gaining the upper hand on straightening, Deadly Assassin scored narrowly but well over the pacemaker by 1-9 metres in a rate of 1-56.2. Manassa Sky (three back the markers) was third 2.4 metres back.
Strong effort
■ Rothacker medallist Jim O'Sullivan was successful aboard Barham owner/breeder John Morriss' Art Colony-Spy Games gelding Sands Of Zanzibar in the Swanhill@elliottprint.com.au Pace over 2240 metres. In what was a strong effort to score, Sands Of Zanzibar was crossed from the pole to settle three back the markers, but was able to ease away from the inside to possie three back in the moving line as Boris Devcic's Hot Blooded Woman led from gate three. With horses all around him in the last lap, Sands Of Zanzibar had no option but to angle five and six wide on the home turn, before finishing strongly to swallow up his rivals and win by neck margin over Clever Cowboy (three back the markers-one/one home turn) and Night Safari (one/three) who was 1.1 metres in arrears of the runner up. The mile rate 2-02.9.

honours at her home track on Friday, chalking up a double during the afternoon. First to arrive was Kiwi bred Sportswriter-Athena Matai colt Jaeden in the Thank You Chrissy Hawker 2Y0 Pace over 2160 metres. Trained at Terang by Jeff McLean, Jaeden starting outside the front line crossed polemarker Queen Of Crime shortly after the start to lead, scoring by a neck from Queern Of Crime in a 201.4 rate. First starter Tuesdays Edition (four back the markers) was third 16.5 metres away. Leg two saw 4Y0 Changeover-Presidential Drive gelding Presidential Change greet the judge for grandfather Jim Barker in the Taylor Motors Maiden Pace over 2160 metres. Settling three back along the markers from gate five, Presidential Change when eased into the one/one approaching the home turn, ran home strongly after making the final bend three wide, to prevail by 3.1 metres from Vuitton from last in a mile rate of 2-03.9. It's a Borg was third 2.4 metres away after racing exposed.
10-event card
■ Once again Kilmore honoured many pas participants last Friday when a mammoth 10 event card of winter racing was held. Area winners were prevalent , especially early in the evening when Bolinda pair Paul Males and Brent Lilley each had a winner, while Kilmore's Robbie Walters was also successful. The Roger Reeves Memorial 2019 Trotters Mobile over 2180 metres opened the evening which saw the Paul Males trained and Zac Phillips driven 6Y0 Great Success-Lady Midnight gelding Hedge Your Bet victorious in a rate of 2-05.8. Settling four back in the running line from outside the front line, Hedge Your Bet moved to be one/one in the last lap and with a well timed finish, scored by 1.1 metres from Black Valley from last, with Revy Jay 4.5 metres away in third place after trailing the weakening leader Runaway Success.
Went into gallop
■ Brent Lilley's smart ex-Kiwi filly Sunnys Little Jestic, a daughter of Majestic Gem and Our Sunny Whiz was impressive in taking the 2180 metre JP McKay Memorial 2Y0 Trotters Mobile. Driven by Gavin Lang, Sunnys Little Jestic was given plenty of time to balance up after starting solo on the second line, settling at the rear. Sent forward mid-race to park out at the bell, Lang pressed on to assume control in the last lap and after holding a handy margin on turning, reached the judge 2.2 metres in advance of Hateitwhenyourrite which trailed the winner in the final circuit after leading. Quick Andover was a game third 17.2 metres back after galloping shortly after the start and moving to race exposed in the final circuit. The mile rate 204.8.
Good account
■ Robbie Walters combined with stable reinsman Jack Laugher to snare the Reg Shinn Memorial 3Y0 Pace over 2180 metres with Sportswriter-Madame Lily filly Madame Annie, Leading throughout from gate five.

Girl power at Thornton-Eildon
■ Thornton Eildon District Football and Netball Club last Saturday (July 13) saw Round 13 which proved a huge weekend out at Thornton Football Oval It was huge in more ways than one, hosting Seville and Belgrave clubs. The weekend was a sentimental and important weekend for our club, as we held our first annual Ladies Day at the club. Thornton women banded behind and embraced the Alice Sloan Trust, and welcomed John and Jeanie (Alice’s parents) plus around 60 supporters, volunteers, netball players, women footballers, families and friends who got right behind this special event. Embracing yellow, all our teams dawned yellow arm bands in honour of Alice. A band of passionate women organised a wonderful afternoon of wonderful food, wine, live music, raffles and actions on what would have easily been one of the uneventful cold rounds of the season. Guest speakers included Sally Brennan, local female politician and supporter of Yarra Junction Football Club; netballer and volunteer Brodie Tyack, who was amongst one of the first years group of Alice Sloan girls; and Tilly Bessant who was a more recent member, and both girls touched on how inspiring yet even life changing. Lisa Stanch, our club trainer, spoke about being a OEG field worker & witnessing the Foundation’s impact on countless girls throughout the years. Thank you to everyone who made this day such a success and seeing a humble small club getting behind such incredible organisation as such as the Alice Sloan Trust, giving women a platform to shine. ★ WOMEN’S FOOTBALL Kicking off the day early, women’s football team versus Belgrave football team in wet cold and muddy conditions. Belgrave sat fourth, and Thornton sat fifth on the ladder, and this match was to determine who takes fourth and be in contention for a finals show. Our Thornton ladies stepped it up right from the start. Thornton dominated and set themselves at end of quarter-time 4.5.29 to 0 and flying into the second quarter the girls didn’t stop piling on the score board ending half-time 7.8 (50) to 0.1 (1). Belgrave did fight back defensively third quarter, allowing Thornton to only score four behinds and Belgrave slotting one behind on the board. In the last quarter the girls fired up and finished the game on a high knowing all the hard work is starting to pay off converting on the score board and the team having faith in their team mates abilities. If you are going to peak in a season, this is when you do it. Thornton 8.14 (62) to Belgrave 1.4 (10) Goals: Y. Vinycomb 4, K. Pearce 2, T. Scotland, C. Brown Best Players: Y. Vinycomb, J. Thomas, K. Pearce, N. Hay, A. Andreou, C. Brown. ★ WOMEN’S NETBALL B -GRADE Thornton 20 to Seville 75 On Saturday, the B Grade girls took the court ready to give their everything for the game against Seville. We had a great defence with Maggie Rigby and Heather Mason, who had an outstanding game getting the rebounds and intercepting Seville-s passes into the ring. With Seville’s amazing defenders, the Thornton girls had to work harder to get the ball down to our goalers, Keely Grant and Rosie Kealy, who didn’t stop trying and were able to sink some goals for the team. Our midcourt, which consisted of Tayla Paige, Jess Gorman, Shantelle Matcham and Tamara Morris-Thomas worked hard through the whole game to get intercepts, turnovers and to work the ball down to our attack end. Great effort ladies ★ C-GRADE Thornton 4 to Seville 64 This week the mighty Roos took on Seville

We need our players to dig deep, finish off the year with their heads held high and not lose sight of our goals. Training is every Tuesday and Thursday for football, Netball every Thursday. Thankyou to all volunteers and supports over the weekend we would be lost without your help. Planning has begun for 2020 and we encourage anyone in the community to think about becoming involved in our club, we are encouraging a shift and full community orientated spirit. We welcome all ideas, members and supporters to shape our club now and into the future.

The home side tightened things up after half time, restricting the previously free-flowing visitors to just one major in the third term and two in the last. Tom O'Dwyer found plenty of the football, Josh Keyte contributed well and Darcy Pell continued his fine season.

Alex. consolidates finals chances
SATURDAY The AFL Outer East League Round 13 of the 2019 season saw the Rebels travel to Yea for two games of football and four games of netball with the Club's Under 18s having a general League bye. ★ RESERVES The Reserves, in sixth place on the ladder, took on the eighth placed Tigers and needed to consolidate their chance of playing finals after a good win last week against a top three team. The Rebels did not disappoint as they kicked seven goals to one in the first quarter and then added another six goals to one in the second quarter in excellent team work with everyone getting involved in the game. The game tightened up in the second half as the Rebels kicked the only goal of the third quarter and then kicking two unanswered goals in the last quarter with credit to both teams on a good contest in wet conditions, 16.16 (112) to 2.3 (15). Awards: Caltex fuel card - Will Ingram, Alex Sportspower - Nathan Dundas, JAMMM Catering - Daniel Rouget, Buxton Hotel - Aaron Westworth, Grant St Grocer - Isaac Hedger. ★ SENIORS The Seniors included Brent McDonald and Tom Rouget to replace Michael Coombs and Joe Daniel with the seventh placed Rebels needing a win to stay in touch with the race to finals. The Rebels started with four goals to two in the first quarter but the Tigers responded with three goals to two in the second quarter to make it a seven-point game at half time. Both teams kicked two goals in the third quarter with no change to the margin at the last break as the weather closed in and then opened up again in true Victorian tradition. The last quarter was a pressure test as the lead changed and a large crowd was appreciative of the contest, the Rebels able to steady with five goals to three in the end to record a hard fought win, 13.9 (87) to 10.9 (69).

Yea Golf Club ■ Second round of the mini gender challenge was played on Wednesday with the Ladies increasing their lead to see scores at 59 – 25. There were 19 players involved. Winner of the par event was our Club Secretary Vicki Clements (20 gender points) with a score of square. Second was Terry Chaplin (10) with -2, third was Ray Partridge (5) with -3 and fourth was Meryl Connell (2) on CB with -4 from 3 others. The Ladies won 5 points for a lower team average. There was no NTP on the 11th and the lucky winner of the Club Award was Ivor Brayley who collected $10! Only 31 players turned up at Avenel on Thursday For Dalhousie Veterans. Wet weather and sand scrapes probably discouraging many from turning up. Terry Chaplin continued his good form to be best of the Yealians with 32 stableford points. Dalhousie events like this help the host club raise additional funds. Even with not many there, Avenel with a raffle, drinks and catering would have received over $400 for the day. Saturday saw only 12 players on a day at Royal Yea that was forecasted to rain. There were some showers but umbrellas were not needed. The event was 3 Person Muitiplied Stableford. Each person plays individual stableford and the team score on each hole is the three individual points multiplied together. Winners with 97 points were Rick Wills (9), Greg Clements(15) and Kevin Coghlan (16). Runners-Up were Alan Pell (13), Martin Lowe (14) and Brian Priestly (28) with 86 points. There was no NTP on the 11th and the Club Award was won by Peter Johnston, Sam Wright and John Tanner. Individual Winner was Michael Spagnolo (7) with 34 points from Rick Wills with 33.
