● Matthew Newton
Woman’s Day magazine claimed Matthew Newton”has cut all ties with Australia’, and only speaks sporadically with his parents and sister. Patti Newton said on Monday night that she had received flowers from her American-based son for Mothers Day, and she had spoken to Matthew by phone as recently as last weekend.
Patti Newton said she had not been contacted by the magazine, which had made no attempt to verify their cover story with her. Her comments were made in the Nightline radio program on 3AW co-hosted on Monday night by Bruce Mansfield and Simon Owens. Patti Newton said she purchased a number of showbiz magazines on Monday, to prepare for her weekly radio spot, and wondered what her family news might be, when she saw an old photo of husband Bert and herself on the magazine cover. “There is still the odd phone call to check in on Matthew but Bert and Patti are always on tenterhooks because of what has happened in the past,” the Woman’s Day article claimed. Patti Newton said there is frequent contact with their son, and Matthew is also in touch with his sister Lauren. Patti Newton said she was bemused about the identity of the “family friend” which the magazine claimed to interview. She challenged the magazine to name such sources.
● This week’s Woman’s Day magazine boasts a story about ‘Bert and Patti’s New Heartache’. The story is absolure rubbish, says Patti Newton.

● Timmy Knowles in AaIst. Photo: Lewis McQueen ■ There was a popular parlour game in the 1980s called How to Host a Murder. Players took on Agatha Christie-type characters and played out melodramatic scenarios that identified a dashing lothario named Moriarty, a spurned lover, or a bastard child of the Lord of the Manor as the culprit. There is no glamour or myth making about murder in Moreland Theatre Company’s production of Aalst. Written originally by Pol Heyvaert and Dimitri Verhulst, Aalst is based on real events that took place in a hotel room in the Belgium city of Aalst in 1999. In the intimate Owl and Cat Theatre, opposite Richmond Station, the audience sits at the edge of the hotel room while a prosecutor takes the accused couple through the evidence against them, examining what pushes people to commit the most taboo of crimes – the murder of their own children. The fact that murders of children by their parents do occur – in Australia and elsewhere – makes this play important to a greater understanding of the forces that are at play. It’s an uncomfortable subject but one handled very competently by director David Collins and performers Hayley D’Ath, Lizzie Gapper and Timmy Knowles. Some 70 per cent of the play’s dialogue is from the transcript of the Belgian couple’s trial. The current production is based on an adaption by Scottish playwright Duncan McLean. The actors show maturity in their roles. The script is confronting but it has authenticity. Collins says: “Killing children is incomprehensible , but getting to investigate these two characters opens a whole discussion about the circumstances in people’s lives that create these anomalies.” Showing at Owl and Cat Theatre, 34 Swan St, Richmond until May 16.

● Olivia Wells Miss Universe Australia 2013 and Tegan Martin Miss Universe Australia 2014
■ Eight stunning beauties will represent Victoria in the Miss Universe Australia national final after winning state selection at Sofitel Melbourne On Collins last week (Tuesday, May 5). The Miss Universe Australia Victorian Final attracted 30 contestants, all vying for the chance to go through to the national final with the ultimate goal being to represent Australia at the Miss Universe International final. The contenders had varying backgrounds and interests – there was an animal-rights activist, several were active in the charity arena, one was a snowboarder, one was a cowgirl, another was an aspiring actor, while several had marketing backgrounds. Sarah McLeod, Jessica Peart, Tarrah Burns, Amelia Dunn, Nasir Wan, Lydia Honan, Stephanie Bogovic and Jayne Duff were selected by a panel of judges that included Miss Universe Australia 2014 Tegan Martin, Nicky Buckley, Miss Universe Australia pageant director Deborah Miller, and fashion designer Dom Bagnato. Contestants were put through their paces with the swimsuit, evening gown and Q&A elements of the beauty quest. As per usual the answers to the judges questions were resolutely positive, with the strong theme being that the ladies wanted to make the world a better place for future generations. The Miss Universe Australia National Final will be held at Sofitel Melbourne On Collins on Friday, June 5. - Fiona Byrne

Sondheim show
● Lucy Maunder ■ Producer Karen Jemison of Manilla Street Productions knows her market well, and is staging the Victorian premiere of Sondheim On Sondheim at Melbourne Recital Centre later this month. Building on Melbourne audiences’ love of Sondheim, as encouraged by Victorian Opera over the past two years with productions of Sunday In The Park With George and Into The Woods, this special show will delight fans and interest general audiences as well. Sondheim On Sondheim is a musical revue of the comer's life and artistic process. Songs are interwoven with video footage of Sondheim, providing audiences with an inside look at Sondheim's life, including his childhood and his relationship with mentor Oscar Hammerstein. Audiences will also get a peek into Sondheim's experiences of personal demons and professional triumphs. This production opened on Broadway in 2010, featuring Barbara Cook and directed by James Lapine. The Melbourne show is directed by Chris Parker, and stars a veritable star studded line up, including Michael Cormick, Martin Crewes (both of who have had successful careers on the West End stages in London), Lisa Marie Parker, and Lucy Maunder, all under Kellie Dickerson's musical direction. Iconic and more obscure Sondheim songs will be included, and this is such a strong cast that Sondheim On Sondheim is a just for all music theatre lovers. It has two shows at 2 pm and 7.30 pm on Saturday May 23 at Melbourne Recital Centre. Bookings through www.melbournerecital.com.au - Julie Houghton
● Bushranger Dan Kelly ■ Old Melbourne Gaol, the night before Ned Kelly’s execution, a priest arrives to keep vigil. Dan Kelly, Ned’s younger brother, thought to have died in the siege of Glenrowan, has disguised himself in order to see his brother one last time. Ned, facing death, ruminates on his last moment only hours away, wanting to impart “clever last words—something for me to be remembered by”. Long-held grudges erupt; Dan accuses his older brother of dragging family and friends to their deaths in pursuit of Ned’s mythic dream of a great republic. Ned accuses Dan of cowardice by running away from the fight. Tautly written, Matthew Ryan’s tense drama, Kelly, builds on the old legend that Dan Kelly managed to escape Glenrowan and disappear into the wilds of Queensland. Ryan explores the sibling rivalry between the Kelly brothers: Ned, the folk hero, larger than life, Dan always in his brother’s shadow. Old wounds are dragged up and picked over without resolution. Kevin Spink is excellent as Dan Kelly. His jealousy and his need for absolution from his brother is palpable. Steven Rooke though is a towering force in this drama, embodying the spirit of Ned Kelly— the hard man, the quintessential wild colonial boy. An evocative spartan set by designer Simone Romaniuk is ably complimented by Guy Webster’s memorable sound design. Directed by Todd MacDonald, this terrific production by the Queensland Theatre Company had a single performance at the Hawthorn Arts Centre. I hope that Melbourne theatregoers get to see a return of this riveting production sometime soon. - Review by Kathryn Keeble
Shakespeare would be delighted ■ Shakespeare would have delighted in Western Edge Ensemble’s production of Iago. Loosely based on the Bard’s Othello, the performance explores not just jealousy and race but gender, social expectations and the generational divide. The early stages of the piece bring a polyglot of ethnic individuals together in a gymnasium which highlights the cultural diversity and origins of the theatre group. Here, alone, is enough fodder for theatre as race, gender and generations collide. Of note was the divide between the liberated Desdemona (Natalie Lucic) attending university and her father, Brabant (Oti Willoughby) whose troubled past as a soldier in Croatia leaves father and daughter unable to truly appreciate the other. The latter stages of the piece identify more with the Bard as the well intentioned, and Samoan, Othello (Rexson Semsi-Pelman) discovers his capacity for jealousy and violence. The manipulation of Iago (Legrand Anderson) and the complicity of Emilia (Piper Huynh)
have brought him to this end. Rounding off the troupe is Bianca (Achai Deng) providing opportunity to explore the pressures being faced by young women trying to reconcile the expectations of vastly different cultures and the perceptions of the opposite gender. The production itself was sparse and taut on a bare stage but the energy and physicality of the cast gave the piece a compelling momentum. For all that, there were moments of humour and reflection that gave theatrical relief and dimension to the work. It is a “round unvarnish’d tale” which cannot help but captivate. This was a collaborative work developed over a period of time by the cast, the director (Dave Kelman), writers (Tariro Mavondo, Georgia Symons) and associate director (Naomi Rukavina) Choreography was by Amy Macpherson. Iago had a brief season at The Malthouse Tower in May. - Review by David McLean

Visit to Melbourne ■ I noticed with delight that best-selling crime author Michael Connelly will be in Melbourne next week. Michael Connelly has sold 58 million copies of his books worldwide and his work has been translated into 39 languages. Connelly started his writing career as a journalist on the crime beat at newspapers in Daytona Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He moved to Los Angeles in the late 1980s upon landing a job as a crime reporter for the Los Angeles Times. After three years on the crime round in Los Angeles, Connelly began writing his first novel The Black Echo featuring the character, LAPD Detective Hieronymus Bosch. In 2005 he published The Lincoln Lawyer, featuring the character Mickey Haller, a Los Angeles defence attorney who worked out of the back seat of his Lincoln town car. The book was made into a hit movie of the same name, starring Matthew McConaughey as Haller, in 2011. Connelly is a prolific writer with 28 published novels. He will be in conversation at the Collins Street Baptist Church on Friday, May 22 at 6.15pm. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased via www.readersfeast.com.au

Check out activities at the Wheeler Centre ■ I am a huge advocate for The Wheeler Centre and am constantly urging my friends and colleagues to check out the interesting interviews on offer at this centre for ideas, books and conversation. British investigative journalist Nick Davies recently spoke at the Wheeler Centre in Melbourne and Ballarat, best-selling author James Patterson was in conversation with Raf Epstein at the Athenaeum Theatre, and Little Britain’s David Walliams appeared at Sky High at Mt Dandenong and the Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne.
That is not a bad line-up of talent in just the past two weeks! The Wheeler Centre is located in Lt Lonsdale St, beside the State Library, and is Melbourne’s home for smart, passionate and entertaining public talks on any and every topic. This unique institution, which is celebrating its fifth birthday this year, provides a hub for the discussion, debate and practice of writing and ideas. And as an added bonus over eighty percent of the events are free. Check out what is coming up at www.wheelercentre.com
● Guy Sebastian ■ The Shane Warne Foundation hosted a black tie Gala Charity Dinner at the new Vibe Hotel in Marysville on Saturday night. The event was attended by Warne and high profile supporters of the Foundation including Ann Peacock, Andy Lee and his girlfriend Rebecca Harding, Brodie Harper and Heath Meldrum, Lydia Schiavello, Gamble Breaux, Pettifleur Berenger, Janet Roach and Joe Hachem. Also attending was Melbourne Lord Mayor Robert Doyle. Guy Sebastian performed, in what will be one of his last performances in Victoria prior to him jetting off to Europe to represent Australia in the annual Eurovision song contest. The Shane Warne Foundation’s mission is to enrich the lives of seriously ill and under privileged children and teenagers in Australia. The Foundation raises money through events, donations and corporate sponsorship which is then distributed to a range of charities.
■ Whitney Houston fans are in for a treat this week with the tribute show, The Greatest Love Of All – The Whitney Houston Show opening at the Athenaeum Theatre on Friday. The show celebrates Houston's most loved songs with the breathtaking voice of South African singer Belinda Davids. The show spans Houston’s 29-year career and includes hits How Will I Know, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Where Do Broken Hearts Go, Didn't We Almost Have It All, I'm Every Woman, Exhale (Shoop Shoop), Step by Step and I Will Always Love You. The production company behind the show, Showtime Management Australia, conducted a world-wide search to find a leading lady who could do justice to Houston’s legacy. After conducting over 15,000 auditions in 12 countries, accomplished Davids was selected. Born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, Davids began performing professionally at the age of 14. Her four octave vocal range allows her to sing any genre but her musical heart has always been R&B. Her musical inspirations as a child were Aretha Franklin,Anita Baker, Chaka Khan, Donny Hathaway, Michael Jackson and Houston. In the wake of Houston's tragic passing in Los Angeles at the age of 48 in 2012, her timeless music and awe-inspiring voice have received renewed appreciation from her legion of long-time fans and garnered a new generation of admirers. The Greatest Love Of All – The Whitney Houston Show opens at the Athenaeum Theatre on Friday. ● Fiona Byrne is a former journalist and is the Public Relations Manager at Sofitel Melbourne On Collins.

Spreading joy of peanut butter
■ In case you didn’t know it, Elvis Presley’s favourite snack was a peanut butter sandwich loaded with fried bacon, bananas and honey, and pan fried. Jerry Seinfeld still loves a bagel today, split, toasted and topped with peanut butter and honey and cinnamon, and for Lee Zalben culinary heaven is a sandwich of peanut butter smothered with bread and butter pickles… OK we’re cool with Elvis and Jerry, but Lee Zalben? Unless you’re a New Yorker, or an American from elsewhere with a passion for peanut butter, you’ve most likely never heard of Mr Zalben. But all that is a-changing, for the fame of America’s revered “Peanut Butter Guy” is now (if you’ll excuse the pun) fast spreading across nextdoor Canada and further afield through the UK, Japan and Hong Kong… Mr Zalben has had a love affair with peanut butter since a toddler, his Mum even resorting to giving him his own container of the stuff after growing tired of finding the family’s jar with a primary schooler’s finger marks gouged across the contents. At school and later college he would captivate classmates with the most outrageous sandwich combinations, winning their admiration with such concoctions as one early effort he made for them with peanut butter, carob chips, dried apricots and orange

Banjo’s Run: Highlands winner ■ We happily admit to a fondness for Merlot, an easy-drinking, foodfriendly drop that today is the secondmost consumed red in the world after Cabernet Sauvignon, with around 260,000ha (640,000 acres) planted to the variety globally. And while it thrives in warmer regions it can do exceptionally well in cooler climates too, and where because it doesn’t ripen too quickly, it develops a beautiful softness along with lovely fruity varietal flavours. One such cool climate label we suggest is worth trying is from the boutique Banjo’s Run at tiny Exeter in the NSW Southern Highlands, around half way between Sydney and Canberra and 1.5hours from each. Their 2013 is medium bodied with nicely recognisable Merlot red berry and blackcurrant fruit flavours, and with its suggestions of spicy tannin makes for a great match with a Italian tomato-based pastas, herbed chicken or osso bucco. Banjo’s Run 2013 Merlot is just $25 a bottle by the 6- or 12-bottle pack: order direct, and check cellar door hours if thinking of visiting the Southern Highlands, with vigneron Bill Hall on bill@banjosrun.com.au, 0408 228 724 or banjosrun.com.au. Freight begins from just $10 per pack depending on distance.
One to note ■ The late (great) Auberon Waugh, writing for The Spectator Magazine’s Wine Club, once described Chateau de Sours Rosé as “probably the greatest Rosé in the world” – somewhat high praise indeed. And be it so or not, this company has been producing exceptional wines (not just Rosés) out of Bordeaux for some 200 years, yet remarkably a 2013 Chateau de Sours Rosé that’s just been released here sells for an extraordinarily modest $23.95. A blend of Merlot and Cabernet, it has a palate akin to strawberries and cream, a wonderfully sparkling freshness, and with 12.5% alcohol it’s a ripper drop for that specialoccasion dinner to go with grilled lobster… or maybe a more everyday Thai or something similarly spicy.

marmalade. Today that seems pretty bland fare as he makes a living creating taste sensations using peanut butter whipped, stirred, blended or spread with anything from jams to chocolates, Nutella to cream cheese, spicy Thai sauces, with bacon, on celery sticks, dipped in honey or on apple slices, topped with coconut, or whipped into chocolate brownies, parfaits, pretzels, ice-creams, sundaes… and smeared with celery salt and paprika over the Christmas turkey. When he left school in Philadelphia, Lee Zalben moved to New York City and got a well-paying job in magazine publishing – but never lost his passion for peanut butter, and all the mouth-watering things he fantasised about creating with it. He also began dreaming of owning a store that would sell those creations, and one day in 1998 in Greenwich Village came upon a boardedup shop with a For Sale sign on it. Next day, still in his mid-20s, he walked into the publishing house where he worked and resigned on the spot, went to the real estate office and put a deposit on the boarded-up shop in Greenwich Village, and then went to the bank and wangled a $150,000 loan. In the days that followed he registered the business name Peanut Butter & Co, turned the forlorn-looking Greenwich Village store into a smartlooking sandwich shop, and set about going into the fast-food business … with, until then, his only experience in the industry being some casual work as a teenager in a frozen yoghurt shop. And when he finally opened the doors of his sandwich shop, he trumpeted loud about his extra-special sandwich, The Elvis with all The King’s favourite ingredients. Intrigued buyers flocked in – numbers helped by the fact the New York University was just down the road. Within days Lee and a couple of staff were making hundreds of Elvises a day. He took on more staff and put his thoughts to other exotic sandwich creations: The Pregnant Lady (peanut butter and pickles,) The Heat is On (peanut butter and spicy Thai sauce,) Black & Tan (peanut butter with chocolate syrup,) a peanut butter topped BLT, Jerry Seinfeld’s bagel with PB, honey and cinnamon, Mighty Maple with crispy bacon and maple sauce, and The Bee’s Knees with honey And for good measure peanut butter with white or dark chocolate, cream cheese and apple slices, even one topped with Marshmallow Fluff, a peanut butter and chocolate dessert pie, peanut butter infused cookies and brownies, waffles and sundaes… specialty peanut butter ’shakes and smoothies, and a baked sweet potato topped with PB and jam. Not content, he bought a factory to make and bottle his own products, and today sells 4,000,000 jars a year of ten different peanut butter blends through 15,000 supermarkets in America and Canada, as well as in the UK, Japan and Hong Kong, and online here through www.iherb.com And he’s found time in-between to write a peanut butter cookbook. Not bad for a bloke still just 42 years of age.

The world continues to keep on movin’, but not for Mike, Carol, Greg, Marcia, Jan, Peter, Bobby and Cindy as they take you on a jukebox journey into the life of a Brady. What family secrets will be exposed in this jam packed hour of frivolity, chaos and amazing 70s fashion? Presented by StageArt, ASuper Brady Cabaret opens June 3 until June 13 at Chapel off Chapel. This cabaret tribute to The Brady Bunch features some of the most well-loved songs – You Can't Hurry Love, Que Sera Sera, Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps, Swing On A Star, Sunshine Day, Happy Together, Walk Right In, Never Been To Me, The Brady Bunch Theme Song, Keep On Moving to name a few.

A live five piece band will also perform. The year is 1992 and the audience is being taken to the final leg of The Brady's world tour in Melbourne, Australia. The performance is being live televised around the world, so the audience is actually sitting in a TV studio for the live filming.

However when the cameras are off, and the show is in commercial, we discover things are not all as they seem with the Bradys. Proving to be as dysfunctional as any normal family, we see their off air troubles and abnormalities, what a struggle it is to be a Brady - having your life created for you and exploited all over the world, and some disturbing secrets as they come to light.

Melbourne company director pleads guilty
■ Anthony Nicholls, 63, of Mitcham has pleaded guilty in the County Court to three charges of dishonestly using his position as a company director to misappropriate more than $750,000. The charges related to Nicholls' position as a director of Zantholls International Pty Ltd and Peton Properties Pty Ltd. These companies raised $2.68 million from around 20 investors to be used for property developments in Ballarat.. Between 004 and 2006,Nicholls authorised the withdrawal of $756,908.31 from those funds for his own personal benefit. Each of the three charges carries a maximum penalty of five years jail or a $220,000 fine. Nicholls was bailed to appear on June 25 for a plea hearing and sentencing. The Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions is prosecuting the matter. Peton was placed into liquidation during October 2007, owing creditors more than $4 million. The liquidator of Peton received

Davies heard that the claim was over works valued at $8690 for a stone kitchen bench. The new bench top did not match other unbroken tops in Felman’s kitchen, despite her specific instructions. Mr Hart said the material requested was no longer available, and the initial installation has taken place some 15 years ago. The Tribunal found that Mr Hart was in breach of the contract because the benchtops were not matched. The Tribunal ruled there had been no dimunition in the value of the Felman family home.

Young Freemasons: Motorcycle apprentice of year Yarrabah's Garden to Kitchen Program
● Freemasons Victoria representatives Ivan Harris, Andrew Dexter, Barry Lewis and Bill Morecroft at the Yarrabah School assembly. ■ People might take for granted the skills it takes to cut, peel, slice or dice vegetables, but the kids at Yarrabah School in Aspendale certainly don't. Thanks to a Garden to Kitchen Program, students are now learning how to prepare a simple meal. Not only that, they have grown the vegetables themselves, in a garden they have cared for and managed in the grounds of the school. Freemasons Victoria recently visited the school to donate $1500 towards the program, aimed at kids with a mental or physical disability. The funds will enable the school to provide the right materials and tools to build garden beds and composting areas. The school currently provides a small workshop where, under supervision, students can measure and cut wood and build worm farms - but the garden area still needs a lot of work. "Once the kids have planted the seed, they learn how to manage the soil and weather conditions to enable growth, and from there they can pick their very own eggplant, cucumber or radish.” Principal Matthew Harris said. A small garden area has already been established, and at the school assembly, students gave Freemasons Victoria representatives Ivan Harris, Andrew Dexter, Barry Lewis and Bill Morecroft a great presentation of what can be achieved in the garden. "The next step is bringing the produce into the kitchen to learn how it is prepared into a proper meal.” said teacher Nuala Butler. Students were very impressed with the enormous dummy cheque that was presented on the day, one young girl commenting that it means a lot to them, to be able to keep learning about food. "This program isn't just about providing a unique extra-curricular activity, these are life skills that Freemasons Victoria can be proud to have contributed towards,” Andrew said.
■ Aprons were swapped for leathers on Saturday May 2 in Alexandra, for the presentation of the Ulysses Motorcycle Apprentice of the Year Award. Karl Davenport of Euroa-Vega Lodge No. 185, who has been working with his father Stephen Davenport as a motor mechanic since 2010, was one of eight in the country, to be selected as a finalist. From that group, Karl was only one of two young apprentices representing Victoria/Tasmania … and the winner is... Karl was joined by members of the Ulysses Motorcycling Club, members of the Euroa-Vega Lodge and members of the local motorcycling community to officially receive the award, presented to him by the President of the Ulysses Motorcycling Club Yarra Ranges Branch, Kevin White. "The Ulysses Club is proud to host the award for the Motorcycle Apprentice of the Year as a means of promoting and enhancing the motorcycle training environment within Australia. "Karl is a very worthy winner and I am proud to present him this award today along with a $1000 tool voucher from Supercheap Auto," Kevin said. In April 2003, founding Ulysses member Stephen Dearnley saw that there was a need to encourage and promote youth in pursuing a career in the motorcycle industry. As a result, MAOTY now represents excellence in all aspects of being a motorcycle apprentice. Information about candidates is collated and assessed from employers and supervisors, TAFE Colleges and the apprentices themselves. In Karl's case, the Kangan Institute of TAFE in Melbourne vouched
Relief for children with disabled siblings ■ InterChange Outer East provides the care and support that some children may not get at home because they have a sibling with a mental or physical disability. Much of the attention around the home is centred on the needs of the disabled child, and the brother or sister may at times feel left out, unimportant or ignored. But InterChange Outer East offers group activities, camps and opportunities to talk with others of the same age group who may share similar experiences. Freemasons Victoria visited InterChange Outer East in Ferntree Gully to find out how the organisation was progressing and to contribute another $20,000 towards its programs. Co-ordinator Fred Brumhead said that it's so important that children know there is always an outlet. "Some parents have been taking their kids to IOE for years now. There is no other program like it in Victoria," he said. Freemasons Victoria's Keith Thornton, who took time out of his morning Pilates class, to take part in the presentation, said that he was proud to be able to raise the funds for the Program. "When we Freemasons Victoria began assisting IOE about six years ago, we were able to donate $10,000. It is such a pleasure to be able to have doubled that and donate $20,000 this year," he said.
● Myles King and Lionel May present the cheque to Project Co-ordinator Jenna Tatterson. Therapist and Program Co-ordinator Laura West said that the funds will enable the organisation to provide trips for the kids, when 'getting away' otherwise would be near-on impossible. In presenting the cheque, Program Co-ordinator Jenna Tatterson returned the gesture, giving Lionel May a beautiful glass plaque inscribed with InterChange Outer East's thanks for the many years of support that has been shown by Freemasons Victoria.

■ "Ramada Plaza is extremely popular with Aussies. The addition of Virgin Australia flights from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne to Los Angeles has helped ensure that the Australian market has remained strong for us," says Alan Johnson , Managing Director, Ramada Plaza Hotel and Suites. At the Australian-owned Ramada Plaza West Hollywood, guest numbers are climbing as seat numbers across the Pacific continue to increase as a result of Virgin Australia. The Australian market continues to be a strong market for Los Angeles and West Hollywood and in fact it is the largest international market. "We are also noticing a new trend with the increase in the number of younger leisure travellers coming to stay and we look for this trend to continue with Virgin Australia, as they typically attract the younger generation-X travellers," Mr Johnson said. The property, which received the Ramada World-Wide President's Award for being the 'best of the best' in service and quality, at the chain's international conference, recently underwent a full refurbishment. "We've received a huge amount of positive feedback regarding our recently completed hotel renovation - which included new 42-inch HDTV's and complete re-modelling of the existing décor and furniture," Johnson said. "All rooms also offer complimentary wireless high speed internet access, new beds and linen, in-room safes and bathroom amenity packages." Highlighting the hotel are contemporary two-level loft suites, which Johnson said are "particularly popular with the corporate market and leisure travellers who visit for weekend stays". "With the addition of our new meeting space at Ramada Plaza the meeting market has shown positive results for the hotel and we expect this trend to continue throughout the year". Virgin Australia flies direct to Los Angeles from Sydney and Brisbane, and connecting from Melbourne to Sydney to LA. using three-class Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Business class travellers will enjoy flatbed seats, an onboard bar and hundreds of hours of entertainment on demand. I have also experienced that Virgin Australia has the happiest and friendliest crews flying the Pacific. For bookings, visit www.virginaustralia.com.au

Changes for Survivor ■ CBS will unveil results of Survivor: Second Chance cast vote during live finale on May 20. The tribe has yet to speak. A viewer vote will cast the next season of the Survivor franchise, choosing 20 cast members from a pool of 32 former players for the 31st season of the show, CBS announced at the end of last Wednesday night's episode. The upcoming season will film this mid-year and air in September. The 32 candidates span the reality show's history, from the Season 1 runner-up Kelly Wiglesworth (dubbed "the rat" in a famous speech viewed by 50 million) to five contestants from the currently airing Season 30. All of the potential contestants have never won the hit show. "Since their respective seasons ended, these players have been begging for another shot," longtime host and executive producer Jeff Probst said. "This is a fun way to allow our loyal fans to be involved in the creative process." In an era where longtime viewers loathe the "recruitment" of the competitively ambivalent actor/model/bartender/personal trainer trope to the show to cosmetically gloss the cast, this field is a bunch of Survivor diehards. They are all players that played hard until their demise, have for the most part maintained an active engagement with the show, and have earned favorable nods on and off screen from Probst.

■ Steven Tandy was born in 1952 in Sydney and studied acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts in his teenage years. He graduated in 1971 and his first television job was in a series titled The Unisexers in 1975. The following year Steven auditioned for the role of ‘Tom Sullivan’ in The Sullivans along with 200 young actors. He had a call from his agent to fly to Melbourne one Sunday night and audition on the Monday morning. He felt he had done well when they started taking his measurements and loading him up with scripts. Steven scored the role two days later and prepared to move to Melbourne for what was thought to be three months’ work. Steven was soon signed for a year which then turned into six years in The Sullivans. Steven enjoyed working with Lorraine Bayly, Paul Cronin, Reg Gorman, the late Norman Yemm, Andrew McFarlane, Vicki Hammond and many others. He was also delighted to work with so many wonderful Australian actors in guest roles. Steven's character was the second Sullivan child, an engineering student who was keen to sign up and fight for his country during the Second World War. ‘Tom’ served the duration of the series in the military overseas. In 1979 Steven, Norman Yemm and Olivia

I remember when we were doing a Diana Trask concert and Reg Gorman was on the show - a gentleman in the audience was from the UK and was thrilled to see Reg perform. When Steven finished with The Sullivans in 1982 he went to the UK for four weeks. He was told that as Paul Cronin was leaving ● Steven Tandy the series that ‘Tom Sullivan’ would become The Sullivans is now available on DVD from the head of the household. Sadly Steven did not get to return to the show Crawford Productions. In 1987 Steven played the role of ‘John as it was axed the following year.
Sanders’ in Sons and Daughters. He had guest roles in television shows such as Skippy, Sea Patrol, Time Trax and Mortified. For 13 years Steven was ‘Commodore Lassard’ in the outdoor Police Academy Show at Warner Bros. Movie World on the Gold Coast. One of the highlights was riding in the car behind Clint Eastwood in the Grand Parade at the opening of Movie World in 1991. Over the years Steven has worked onstage in productions such as Dad's Army, The Rocky Horror Show, Mack and Mabel, Run for Your Wife and recently starred as ‘The Wizard’ in The Wizard of Oz. Last year he played the role of ‘Kevin Gresham’ in the television series Secrets and Lies. Steven is currently working on a one-man show which will open later this year.

‘Uni named after Monash Freeway’ ■ A couple of years ago I decided to repeat a situation which I had been casually and sporadically organising for a few years - getting together a few old Monash mates at the Kew pub for a nostalgic lunch. One of my fellow conspirators was my mate Mike Headberry. He saw an opportunity to formalise this gathering, and decided to run with
it, and gathered us 20 or so, plus as many others he could find, and formed the Monash Pioneers, which thrives to this day. He went out to the Monash campus last year to pose a question to current students: "Do you know how Monash got its name?" "Yes, it was named after the freeway," was the inevitable reply.

So he blustered, and inspired, a few others, then more, to rectify this situation. He decided it would be a good idea to commission a statue of Sir John, which was unveiled a couple of weeks ago. The somewhat dubious point of the above is that a few of us pioneers, including Mike and myself, often reminisce about forming the Monash Opal Mining Club during those first years. We would often go on trips to Lightning Ridge and Coober Pedy scratching away in search of our fortunes. ■ On our first trip in the 60s three of us, Mike, myself, and Lindsay Clack decided visit to make our fortune digging this colourful gem from the ground. So we caught a train to Kingoonya first, a small railhead in the South Australian Desert, hopped off and stuck our thumb out for the rest of the day for the further 200 miles of dry dusty track up the road. An empty car-transporting semitrailer stopped, and we hopped on to the top story. After hours of freezing cold and dust, we departed at Coober Pedy and found our way to my uncle's tin shed, our home for the next few weeks. Then, the next day, off to a likely spot to try our luck. One of our mates suggested a mine at a field called ‘The Flat’, walking distance from our shed, so off there we trotted with our picks and shovels and candles. We needed to clamber down 80 ft to the bottom of the shaft, a daunting prospect, then wriggle our way along the 3 ft tunnel to the productive area where we all continued tunnelling along in different directions. Lindsay ended up with a colourful seam; Mike and I, no such luck. ■ And then on another occasion a few more of us drove up to Lightning Ridge. This town, whilst producing opal, is totally different to Coober Pedy, in that the opal is different, the method of mining is different, and the outlook of the town is different. There are trees here in abundance, whereas Coober Pedy is just a flat, treeless desert plain. And the people are different. Coober Pedy was peopled in the 50s by £10 migrants from all over the world, mainly from Eastern Europe

It started in the Aussie Outback, with several nearby typical Aussie bush towns, so attracted many a shearer and miner and ringbarker and drover and bushman.

I made a few trips up there with many a Monash mate, and even though we spent quite a bit of time scratching away under the ground, there were plenty of other activities to occupy us. We'd go shooting kangaroos and rabbits and foxes, with the odd duck thrown in, and 30 miles up to the border there were swarms of goats. And, of course it was an Aussie town, so the pub was holy ground. In fact, on one occasion, we were given a ‘Clubs and Societies Grant’ for some picks and shovels. All into the Diggers Rest Hotel.

So we, to the undelight of the others who hadn't shared our experiences, decided to "live off the land" for a while.

Then, however, was a different matter - one was constantly taking one's mechanical life into one's own hands A few of us have old Volkswagens, with an old EK ute and panel van thrown in.
■ I recall my mate Joe's VW broke down between Parkes and Forbes on the Newell Highway, and this required a hitchhiking the town to obtain a new part with hours of waiting. Then the trip to Cooper Pedy was then just along the corrugated and sandy track for hundreds of miles from Port Augusta. There was a constant lookout for the tyres, and on the temperature and oil gauges. And we always had a crank handle at the ready for any battery emergency.

Observer Classic Books
‘Such Is Life’ by Joseph Furphy
Chapter 3 - continues The details of a death-penalty, for instance, are revolting enough; and here you must judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. You must perceive that the white hands of the ultra-respectable judge are the hands which reeve the noose; which adjust the same round the neck of the man (or woman); which pull down the night-cap; which manipulate the lever; and which, if necessary, grip the other person’s ankles, and hang on till he is dead-deaddead and the Lord has mercy on his soul. It is as unreasonable to despise M. de Melbourne, or M. de Sydney, for his little share in a scragging operation as it would be to heap contumely on comp. or devil because of this somewhat offensive paragraph. Having, in the present instance, no subordinate to carry out my details, I realised their unpleasantness, even whilst speciously justifying the enterprise as a whole. Further provocation was required to overcome my aversion to the dirty work; and this provocation was forthcoming in ample measure. I had withdrawn from the corner of the stack into my nook, to lay a few plans, and to hastily review the ethics of the matter; now I crept back to feast my eyes once more on the — — before making my coup-de-clothesline. But another object met my sight first; and I nearly fainted. When I recovered myself, a few minutes later, I was in the lagoon. I daren’t swim across, for I would have been in full view from the stack. A cluster of leafy reeds, growing in two feet of water, and the same depth of slimy, bubblecharged mud, was the nearest cover; and in the midst of this I cowered, hardening my heart against society, and watching Jim herself as she tripped blithely past the end of the stack, and looked into my recess. It seemed incredible; and yet, in spite of the cold and misery and difficulty of the situation, I could n’t wake up to find myself in my possum-rug. I always make a point of believing the best where women are concerned, and I had been prepossessed in Jim’s favour; yet it now seemed to me that if she had been worthy of her high calling, she would have brought that pair of white —— off the line, with, perhaps, a supplementary garment or so, and modestly left them in the drain, instead of thus seeking further occasion against me. She looked under the culvert, across the paddock, and toward the lagoon, as Abraham had done, then walked round the stack, and finally returned home by the lower end of the garden, even pausing to look over the picket fence, and scanning right and left as she entered the whipstick scrub. Enough, and to spare, thought I. These barbarians have given me the sign of their Order; now let me respond with the countersign. Not without practical protest shall I die a nude fugitive on their premises; and not if I can help it shall the post-mortem people find the word —— written on my heart. The intervening garden and whipstick scrub effectually concealed my movements from the enemy as I recrossed the lagoon, and made my way with all speed to the unfurnished lodgings I had occupied on the preceding night. There I selected a piece of thick bark, about the size of your open hand, and solid fire for half its length. I swam the lagoon with this in my teeth, and in a few minutes more had buried it in the broken, half-decayed straw at the base of the stack. Then I returned along the drain, but instead of crossing the lagoon, sneaked through the thick fringe of whipstick scrub to the lower end of the garden, and there waited for something to happen. I had to wait a good while. The old straw-stack wasn’t in sight from my post; and I began to think I should have to get another piece of bark, when I heard a youngster’s voice squeak out, “Oo, Mam! th’ ole straw-stack’s a-fier!” Then followed sundry little yelps of surprise from the women; and, after giving them a start of a minute or two, I went loping round the left-hand side of the garden, and into the back yard. Before the enemy’s vanguard reached the stack, I had captured the flag that braved a thousand years, and applied it to its proper use. I also made free with another banner, which I tucked into the former. I was like the man who wrapped
Joseph Furphy (Tom Collins) his colours round his breast, on a blood-red field of Spain. Glancing into the combined kitchen and diningroom, I saw a row of wooden pegs along the wall, with several coats and hats hanging thereon I appropriated only an old wide-awake, shaped like a lamp-shade, even to the aperture at the top; and from three pairs of boots under the sofa, I chose the shabbiest. Astonished, like Clive, at my own moderation, I next rummaged all the most likely places in search of a pipe and tobacco, but without avail. I even extended my researches into the pantry, and thence into the sacred precincts of the front parlour. But the tobacco-famine raged equally everywhere. The place was a residence, but by no stretch of hyperbole could you call it a home. The side window of the parlour looked toward the conflagration; and there I counted four women, one half-grown girl, and a little boy. Three of the women, to judge by their gestures, were laughing and joking, whilst the fourth, and most matronly, was talking to the others over her shoulder as she turned her steps toward the house. Then I bethought myself of Dugald Dalgetty’s excellent rule respecting the provant, and reentered the kitchen. Early though it was, the breakfast-things had been cleared away; so I took the lid off the boiler under the safe, in search of the cake which ought to be kept there. But the house was afflicted with cake-famine too. However, having no time to fool-away, and being constitutionally anything but an epicure, I just helped myself to the major part of a dipper of milk which stood on the dresser, then secured a scone and a generous section of excellent potted head from the safe.
Eating these out of my hand, I departed without ostentation; reflecting that it was better to be at the latter end of a feast than the beginning of a quarrel; and pervaded by a spirit of thankfulness which can be conceived only by those who have undergone similar tribulation, and experienced similar relief. Relief! did I say? The word is much too light for the bore of the matter. There is a story — bearing the unmistakable earmark of a lie, and evidently not a translation from any other language — to the effect that once a British subject, in a foreign land, was taken out to be shot, just for being too good. Pinioned and blindfold, he stood with folded arms, looking with haughty unconcern down twelve rifle-barrels, all in radial alignment on his heart of oak. Twelve foreign eyes were drawing beads on the dauntless captive, and twelve foreign fingers were pressing with increasing force on the triggers, when a majestic form appeared on the scene, and, with the motion of a woman launching a quilt across a wide bed, the British Consul draped the prisoner from head to foot in the Union Jack! That’s all. The purpose of the lie is to convey the impression that it is a grand thing to be covered by the flag of Britain; but give me the forky pennon before referred to, and keep your Union Jack. Cardinal Wolsey, you may remember, as a consequence of putting his trust in princes, found himself at last so badly treed that his robe and his integrity to heaven were all he dared now call his own. The effect was a peace above all earthly dignities. So with me, but in larger beatitude. Having my —— and my integrity to heaven, I found myself overflowing with the sunny self-reliance of the man that struck Buckley.

And before you join the hue-and-cry against the “barbarous incendiary” of the —— Express, just put yourself in my place, and you won’t fail to realise what a profitable transaction it was to get a puris naturalibus lunatic clothed and in his right mind by the sacrifice of a mere eyesore on a farm. The old straw-stack was n’t worth eighteen pence, but I would gladly have purchased its destruction with as many pounds — to be paid, say in nine monthly instalments. To be sure, it did n’t belong to me; but then, neither did the splitters’ bark. So there you are. Crossing the dry place in the lagoon, I dived into the whipstick scrub and turned northward, intending to get across the river as soon as possible, and follow up the New South Wales side to my camp. I should have been — well, not exactly happy; having taken degrees in philosophy which place me above a state fit only for girls — I should have been without a ripple on my mirrored surface, but I was n’t. Serenely sufficient as I felt, and fit for anything, some ingredient seemed lacking in my fennelwreathed goblet. There was a vacant chair somewhere in my microcosm. I knew I was forgetting something — but how could that be, when, in the most restricted sense of the word, I had nothing to forget? Thus musing, I had gone through half my provant; now I turned round to give the rest to — — Ah! where was Pup? I knew he had followed me on my first journey up the drain, but I had n’t seen him since, and had been too busy to notice his absence. He would probably be at the farmhouse. I must get my clothes changed, and look after him. It was about a mile and a half northward to the river. Before reaching it, I saw, crossing the flat in the direction of the Victorian river road, a swagman whom I recognised in the distance as my friend Andy. In casual surprise — for, as you may remember, I had last seen him on the New South Wales side, eight or ten miles away, and going in the opposite direction — I went on without exchange of greeting. Shortly afterwards, I came plump upon Abraham, sitting on his horse, and talking to a young fellow with an axe on his shoulder. I respectfully swerved aside, not wishing, in this particular case, to come under the provisions of that unsound rule which judges a man by the clothes he wears. Presently I became aware of the jingle of a horse-bell, and the smoke of a camp-fire; and, close to the river, I found a tilted spring-cart, near which an elderly man, with tattooed arms, sat on a log, enjoying his after-breakfast smoke. Now, if I had only known this a couple of hours earlier! After the usual civilities, I reinforced my provant by a pannikin of tea, some fried fish, and a slice off the edge of a damper which rivalled the nether millstone in more than one respect; thus assuring myself that I had attained Carlyle’s definition of a man: “An omnivorous biped that wears ——.” Meanwhile, in response to my host’s invitation to tell him what I was lagged for, I explained that I was travelling; my horses were on the other side of the river; I had come across to see a friend, had been bushed all night, and wanted to get back. He could manage the river for me, he said. He followed fishing and duck-shooting for a living; but there was so many informers about these times that a man had to keep his weather-eye open if he wanted to use a net or a punt-gun. People needn’t be so particular, for there was ole Q—— had been warning and threatening him yesterday, and here was the two young Q— —s out this morning at the skreek of daylight, falling red-gum spars to build a big shed, and the ole (man) out on horseback, picking the best saplings on the river. Ole Q—— was a J.P. His place was just across the flat, with a garden reaching down to the lagoon. Q—— himself was the two ends and the bight of a sanguinary dog. After breakfast, the old fellow furnished me with smoking-tackle, and paddled me across the river. During the passage, for want of something else to say, I mentioned to him that I had seen Andy crossing the flat, apparently from his camp. He explained that the swagman had been on his way to a new saw-mill, the day before, but had

Observer Classic Books From Page 23 met one of the owners, who told him the mill would n’t start till after harvest, and promised him work on the farm in the meantime. So Andy, on his return journey, had seen the outlaw’s fire in the dusk; and, after some one-sided conversation across the river, the latter had ferried him over, and entertained him for the night. I mention this merely to show with what waste of energy the so-called sundowner often hunts for work, particularly if he happens to be the victim of any physical infirmity. On reaching the north bank, I reminded the old fellow that I wanted to return by-and-by to look after a dog I had lost when I was bushed; and he promised to bring his skiff for me when I would sing-out. In a couple of hours I was at my camp. In another fifteen minutes I was arrayed in my best and only. Shortly afterward, my horses were equipped, and Cleopatra being in fine trim, was bucking furiously in the sand-bed where I had mounted. In an hour and a half more, I had unsaddled and hobbled both horses on a patch of good grass, nearly opposite where the springcart stood. My persecuted acquaintance, in response to my coo-ee, appeared with his skiff, and ferried me over. Then I hurried across the flat, to the residence of Mr. Q——. A man loses no time when such a dog as Pup is at stake. It could n’t have been later than half-past-one when I walked up along the garden fence, and approached the door of the kitchen. A modestlooking and singularly handsome girl had just filled a bucket of water at the water-slide, and was hammering the peg into the barrel with an old pole-pin. I recognised her as Jim, and forgave her on sight. “Good day to you, ma’am,” said I affably. “Sultry weather is n’t it? I’m looking for a big blue kangaroo dog, with a red leather collar. Answers to the name of ‘Pup’.” She hesitated a moment. “You better see my father. He’s at dinner. Will you come this way, please.” I followed her into the parlour. In passing through the kitchen, I noticed that dinner was over, and a second young woman — apparently the original owner of my boots — was disposing the crockery on the dresser. In the parlour, Mr. Q— — a man of overpowering dignity, redolent of the Bench, and, as I think, his age some fifty, or
by’r lady inclining to threescore, was dining in solitary grandeur, waited on by young woman number three. Lucullus was dining with Lucullus. “Good day, sir,” said I, with a respectful salaam. “Have I the honour of addressing Mr. Q— —?” “Your business, sir?” he replied, surveying me from head to foot. “I’m looking for a dog I lost last night, or this morning; a big blue kangaroo dog, with a”— “Are you sure he’s your dog?” “Perfectly sure, Mr. Q——.” “How did you come in possession of him?” “I bought him eight months ago. Am I right in assuming that he’s on your prem”—— “Steady, my good man. Who are you? What’s your name?” “I must apologise for not having given my name at first. My name is Collins — of the New South Wales Civil Service. I’m Deputy–Assistant-Sub– Inspec”—— “And what leads you to imply that I’ve got your dog?” “Information received.” “Leave the apartment, Naomi,” said the magistrate loftily. “Now, Mr. Collins,” he continued, pouring out a glass of wine, and holding it between his eye and the light; “I want to ask you”— he drank half the wine, set the glass on the table, and leisurely wiped his mouth with his serviette —“I want to ask you”— he paused again, pursed his lips, and placed his forefinger against his temple —“I want to ask you how you come to imply that the dog is here? ‘Information received’ was your statement. Be precise this time, Mr. Collins. I’m waiting for your answer.” “I had my information from a man who saw the dog on your premises, Mr. Q——.” “Very good, indeed! At what time did he see the dog? Be punctual, Mr. Collins. Punctuality implies truth.” “About sunrise, I think.” “You think! Are you sure?” “Well, yes; I’m sure.” “Describe your informer, please.” “Describe him! If I described him ever so accurately, you would n’t know him from Adam,” I replied sharply, and withal truthfully. “Is my dog here, Mr. Q——? If he is, I’ll take him, and go. I don’t want to be trying your patience after this

fashion.” “Steady, Mr. Connell. Was your informer a man about my height?” “I have no idea of your height, Mr. Q——.” “Was he a man about your own height? We’ll get at it presently.” “You’ve got at it first try. I should say you’ve struck his height to about a sixteenth of an inch.” “Sunburnt face? Skulking, fugitive appearance generally?” “Your description’s wonderfully correct, Mr. Q— —. You might, without libel, call him a sansculotte.” “I’m seldom far out in these matters. How was he dressed?” “In a little brief authority, so far as I remember But is my dog ——” “Do you imply a sarcasm?” inquired the J,P. darkly. “I would n’t do so if I was you. I’m not thinking about your dog. You and your dog! I’m thinking about a valuable stack of hay I had burnt this morning; and you’ve give me a clue to the incendiary.” He paused, to let his words filter in. “You done it without your knowledge, Mr. O’Connell,” he continued pompously, again holding up his glass to the light. In the silence that ensued, I could hear the murmur of the girls’ voices about the house, and the irregular ticking of two clocks; while there dawned on my mind an impression that somebody had fallen in the fat. “I’m sorry to hear of your loss, Mr. Q— — ” I remarked, at length. “So far as the loss goes, that gives me no inconvenience, though it might break a poorer man. I been burnt out, r —— p and stump, by an incendiary, when I was at Ballarat”—— “Ah!” said I sympathetically, but my sympathy was with the other party —— “And then I could afford to offer a hundred notes for the apprehension of the offender, before the ashes was cold.” “But mightn’t this last affair be an accident, Mr. Q——? A horse treading on a match for instance? I think you ought to make strict inquiries as to whether any horse, or cow, or anything, passed by the stack shortly before the fire was noticed.” “I know my own business, Mr. O’Connor,” he replied severely. “I been the instigation of bringing more offenders, and vagabonds, and that class of people, to justice than anybody else in this district. If I’d my way, I’d stamp out the lawless elements of society.” “I admire your principles, Mr. Q——; and you may count upon my assistance in this matter. By-the-way, there are two illicit red-gummers down here”—— “I was talking to you about this stack-burning affair,” interposed the beak. “I’m annoyed over it. I been on the wrong lay, so to speak, all this morning; but that never lasts long with me. I got the perpetrator in my eye now, in his naked guilt; and, take my word for it, Mr. Connor, I’ll bring him to book. I’ll make an example of him. I’ll make him smoke for it. It was an open question this forenoon; but to show how circumstantial evidence sort of hems in a suspected party — why, here I can lay my hand on the very man; and, what’s more, he can’t get out of it. I can point out the very mark of his body, where he slep’ at a fire among the whipstick scrub, just across that lagoon. And a party I’m acquainted with seen him yesterday afternoon, some distance up the river, on the other side; and I seen him this morning, crossing the flat here, more or less about the time the fire was noticed. What do you think of that for circumstantial evidence, Mr. Connelly? And in addition to this, I can point out his incentive — which I prefer to hold in reserve for the present. He might think his incentive justifiable; but the Bench might differ with him.” And El Corregidor held me with his glittering eye while he sipped his wine. “I beg your pardon, Mr. Q— — ” said I, clearing my throat. “I can’t help taking a certain interest in this matter. Would it be impertinent in me to ask who the person was that saw the suspected incendiary up the river on yesterday afternoon?” “I’ve no objection to answer your question, Mr. Conway. I quite expect you to take a strong interest in the matter. In fact, I’ll require to know something of your whereabouts after you leave my premises. I think you’ll be wanted over this affair. The party that seen the incendiary yesterday was Mr. H— — of H—— Brothers.” “Mr. Charles H——?” I inquired casually. “No; Mr. Arthur H——. Very respectable man, having personal knowledge of the incendiary.” Again the J.P. sipped his wine; and the girls’
voices murmured, and the clocks ticked, and the hens clucked in the yard; also, the magpies tootled beyond the lagoon, and a couple of axes sounded faintly across the flat; and I even heard, through the open window, the noise of some old back-delivery chattering through a crop of hay on an adjacent farm. “Give me your address,” continued Mephistopheles, replenishing his glass. “Writing-material on the side table.” I wrote my name and official title, giving our departmental office in Sydney as a fine loose postal address, and laid the paper on the table beside the magnate. It reminded me of old times, when my Dad used to send me to bring him the strap. It was time to shake my faculties together, for ne’er had Alpine’s son such need. “I’ve made a study of law, myself, Mr. Q— — ” I remarked thoughtfully. (This was perfectly true, though, in the urgency of the moment, I omitted to add that my researches had been confined to those interesting laws which govern the manifold operations of Nature). “I’ve made a special study of law; and I think you will agree with me that a successful criminal prosecution is a Pyrrhic victory at best. At worst — that is, if you fail to prove your case; and, mind you, it’s no easy matter to prove a case against a well-informed man by circumstantial evidence alone — if you fail to prove your case; then it’s his turn, for malicious prosecution; and you can’t expect any mercy from him. When you think your case is complete, you find the little hitch, the little legal point, that your opponent has been holding in reserve. Now, you ‘re a gentleman of substance, Mr. Q——.You’re a perfect target for a man that has studied law.” I paused, for I noticed the Moor already changing with my poison. “By heaven! I’d like to have a shot at you for a thousand!” I continued, eyeing him greedily. “One of the obstacles in a position like mine is the thing you just implied, Mr. Connellan,” responded the waywode, almost deferentially. “Same time, this case ought to be followed up, for the sake of the public weal. As valuable as the stack was, I don’t give that for it.” And he snapped his finger and thumb. “You may be morally certain of the identity of the scoundrel, but your proofs require to be legally impregnable,” I continued, pressing home where he had disclosed weakness of guard. “I know a very respectable man — a Mr. Johnson — who dropped something over a thousand in a case similar to this. The scoundrel was a deep subject; and he got at Johnson for false imprisonment. These roving characters can always get up an alibi, if they’re clever. Excuse my meddling in this case, Mr. Q— — but you’ve interested me strongly. You have evidence that this suspected incendiary was seen somewhere down the river yesterday — or up the river was it? — and you saw him somewhere here, this morning. Very well. Would the two descriptions of dress and deportment tally exactly with each other, and with the appearance of the person whom, independently of that evidence, you know to be the perpetrator — I mean the scoundrel of the camp-fire? Consider the opening for an alibi there! You hold the incentive in reserve, I think you said? Pardon me — is it a sufficient one?” “It don’t take much incentive to be sufficient for a vagabone without a shirt to his back” replied the ratepayer, suddenly boiling-over. “True,” I conceded; “but, ‘Seek whom the crime profits,’ says Machiavelli. What profit would it be to such a scoundrel to do you an injury, Mr. Q——?” “The propertied classes is at the mercy of the thriftless classes,” he remarked, with martyrpride. “But incendiarism! Mr. Q— — ” I urged in modest protest. “Why, the whole country lives by the farmer: and I’m sure”—— “We won’t argy the matter, Mr. Collingwood,” replied my antagonist, lowering his point. “Possibly I won’t trouble you any further over this affair. Your business keeps you on the move,” he continued,\ looking at the paper beside him; “and it might be difficult to effect service. You want your dog. Go into the kitchen; inquire for Miss Jemima, and tell her I authorise her to give you the dog. And a very fine dog he is.” “Thank you, Mr. Q——. Good day.” “Good day,” replied the boyard, acknowledging my obeisance by a wave of his hand. It was a near thing, but I had scored, after all. You can’t beat the pocket-stroke. Passing through the kitchen, I met the graceful Jim. “Are you Miss Jemima?” I asked, in the tone

Observer Classic Books From Page 37 you should always use towards women. A dimple stole into each beautiful cheek as she nodded assent. “Well, Mr. Q—— authorises Miss Jemima to give me the kangaroo-dog.” “Come this way, then, please.” There was a slight flush of vexation on the girl’s face now. And, indeed, it was scarcely fair of Dogberry, when his own soft thing had fallen through, to make Jim cover his dignified retreat. With deepening colour, she led the way to the stable, and opened a loose-box, disclosing Pup, crouched, sphynx-like, with a large bone between his paws. The red collar was gone; and he was chained to the manger by a hame-strap. Of course, I did n’t blame the franklin, nor do I blame him now; rather the reverse. There seems something touching and beautiful in the thought that respectability, at best, is merely poised — never hard home; and that our clay will assert itself when a dog like Pup throws himself into the other scale. But I could feel the vicarious crimson spreading over Jim’s forehead and ears as I unbuckled the hame-strap, whilst vainly ransacking my mind for some expression of thanks that would n’t sound ironical. A terrible tie of sympathetic estrangement bound this sweet scapegoat and me asunder, or divided us together; and each felt that salvation awaited the one who spoke first, and to the point — or rather, from the point. All honour to Jim; she paced —— “You call him ‘Pup’,” observed the girl girlishly. “He’s a big pup.” “His proper name is ‘The Eton Boy’,” replied the wretch wretchedly. And neither of us could see anything in the other’s remark. But the tension was relaxed; and, leaving the stable together, we gravely agreed that a thunderstorm seemed to be hanging about. Still a new embarrassment was growing in the girl’s face and voice, even in the uneasy movement of her hands. At last it broke out — “I s’pose you haven’t had any dinner?” “Don’t let that trouble you, Miss Q——.” “Father’s not himself today,” she continued hastily. “He blames us for burning an old strawstack; and I’m sure we never done it. Mother’s been at him to burn it out of the way this years back, for it was right between the house and the road; and it was ‘78 straw, rotten with rust. But

I’m glad we did n’t take on us to burn it, for father’s vowing vengeance on whoever done it; and he’s awful at finding out things.” “Mr. Q—— mentioned it to me,” I replied, with polite interest. “But don’t you think it seems a most unlikely thing for a stranger to do? Perhaps some of your own horses or cattle trod on a match that Mr. Q—— had accidentally dropped there himself?” “That couldn’t be; for father never allows any matches about the place, only them safety ones that strikes on the box. And he hates smoking. My brothers has to smoke on the sly.” “Have you many Irish people about here, Miss Q——?” “None only the Fogartys; and they’re the best neighbours we got.” “And was nobody seen near the stack before the fire broke out?” “Not a soul. I was past there myself, not twenty minutes before we seen the fire; but I was going middling smart, and I did n’t see anybody — nothing only Morgan’s big white pig, curled under the edge of the stack, that always jumps out of the sty, and comes over here, and breaks into our garden. Well, father’s always threatening to shoot that pig; and me, never thinking, I told him it was there; and he got his gun and went after it; and us in a fright for fear he would find it, but he did n’t. Then when we seen him well out of sight, I went over to the stack quietly, to shoo the pig home, but it was gone; and there was no sign of fire then, and nobody in sight. Then my sisters and me was just starting out to the milkingyard, and mother had begun to take the things off the line, when little Enoch seen the fire. We couldn’t make it out at all; and I examined up and down the drain for boot-marks, but there was none. And just before you come, I picked up the track of the horse I was riding, to see if his feet had struck fire on anything; but I was as wise as ever.” “Ah! the horse was shod, Miss Q——?” “No; he’s barefooted all round. Well, he trod on a piece of a brick, near the corner of the garden; but the fire never travelled from there. It’s very unaccountable.” “Very. I wonder would there have been such a thing as a broken bottle anywhere about the stack, Miss Q——? The sun came out unusually strong this morning, I noticed; and it’s a well-known

scientific fact that the action of the solar rays, focussed by such a medium as I have suggested, will produce ignition — provided, of course, that the inflammable material is in the angle of refraction.” “I don’t know, sir,” she replied reverently. “Why, gold has been melted in four seconds, silver in three, and steel in ten, under the mere influence of the sun’s heat-rays, concentrated by a lens”— she shivered, and I magnanimously withheld my hand. “If this hypothesis should prove untenable,” I continued gently, “we may assume spontaneous ignition, produced by chemical combination. Nor are we confined to this supposition. Silex is an element which enters largely into the composition of wheaten straw; and it is worthy of remark that, in most cases where fire is purposely generated by the agency of thermo-dynamics, some form of silex is enlisted — flint, for instance, or the silicious covering of endogenous plants, such as bamboo, and so forth. A theory might be built on this.” “It seems very reasonable, sir,” she murmured. “Anyway, I’m glad the old stack’s out of the road. The place looks a lot cleaner.” “Well, I won’t keep you out in the sun,” said I reluctantly. “Good bye, Miss Q——. And I’m very much obliged to you.” “Oh, don’t mention it! I’m sure we’re very happy to”—— she hesitated, blushing desperately. “Well, good-bye, Miss Jemima.” “Good-bye,” she murmured, half-extending her hand. “I might see you again, some time,” I remarked, almost unconsciously, as our fingers met. “I hope so,” she faltered. “Good-bye, Jim,” said I, slowly releasing her hand. “Good-bye.” The word sounded like a breath of evening air, kissing the she-oak foliage. Then the maiden with the meek brown eyes, and the pathetic evidence of Australian nationality on her upper lip, returned to her simple
duties. And the remembrance of Mrs Beaudesart came down on me like a thousand of bricks. Such is life. But my difficulties were over for the time being My loco. had jolted its way over the rough section, carrying away an obstruction labelled V.R. and had reached the next points. I was still two or three days ahead of my official work; and there had happened to be a stray half-crown in the pocket of the spare oriflamme I had unfurled at my camp. Should I push on to Hay on the strength of that half-crown, draw my £8 6s. 8d. and send my clothier a guileful letter, containing a money-order for, say, thirty shillings? Thi would test his awfulness at finding out things besides giving myself, morally, a clean bill of health. Or should I first walk across to B——‘s and get Dick L—— to shift some of my inborn ignorance re Palestine? I decided on the latter line of action, and followed it with — Well, at all events, I have the compensating consciousness of a dignity uncompromised, and a nonchalance unruffled in the face of Dick’s really interesting descriptions of South-eastern Tasmania. Concerning my lapse of engagement on the previous evening, I merely remarked that the default was caused my circumstances over which &c. I spent a couple of days, besides Sunday, at B— —‘s place; while the fisherman kept an eye on my horses. I helped B—— to work out a new and rotten idea of a wind-mill pump; Dick handing me things, and holding the other end. On the first afternoon, a couple of hours after my arrival, I drove into for some blacksmith work and, whilst it was being done, I looked in at the Express office, and had a gossip with Archimedes on the topics of the day. And now, whilst duly appreciating the rectitude of soul which has carried me through this trying disclosure, you will surely condone the obscurity in which I have been compelled to envelop all names used herein.

● Ilan Abrahams ■ After a sold-out 2014 season at La Mama, Drago is back for four nights at the Brunswick Mechanics Institute between May 20-23. In 2003 dancer, writer, musician and actor Ilan Abrahams walked the full length of the Yarra River in a continuous journey over the course of three weeks. The pilgrimage was intended to explore the land, the river and his own thoughts... Over the past decade these thoughts have developed into Drago’s Amazing Bona Fide Freak Show - a performance promoted as ‘a revelation and a dark questioning dusted in gold and folly.’ Drago is a sideshow performer in 19th century Melbourne. His act centres around unveiling the ‘freak’ to audiences across the land. Through storytelling, bouffon (theatre of parody and dark humour), and music, this performance playfully explores the joys and dark corners of Drago’s world. Performance Season: May 20-23 Venue: Brunswick Mechanics Institute, 270 Sydney Rd., Brunswick Bookings: www.ilanabrahams.com

One Slight Hitch
● Bride Courtney (Kate Halliday) has problems. Past boyfriend Ryan (Andrew Georgesz), left, has turned up on the day of her wedding to Harper (James Wilson) in One Slight Hitch. Photo: Trish Carr ■ Have You Seen It? Productions present the two-hour romantic comedy One Slight Hitch by Lewis Black until May 23 at Stageworx in Bayswater. Stageworx is a comfortable, delightfully intimate theatre, and guests attending this fun wedding-themed show are treated to pre-show sherries, nibbles, and post-show wedding cake. Under the fine direction of Trish Carr, One Slight Hitch takes place in America in 1981 in the Coleman family home on Courtney’s wedding day. All is going to plan - until Courtney’s ex-boyfriend, free spirited Ryan arrives. Perhaps Courtney really loves Ryan and should not marry conservative, financially secure Harper? The interesting structure of Black’s play features teenage daughter P.B. as occasional narrator, breaking the fourth wall to engage with the audience. Billed as a comedy, the play’s swing between humour and drama, risks melodramatic treatment at times. Director Carr says in the theatre program: “Portraying these characters has not been an easy task for our talented actors … there is a fine line between comedy and drama in situations such as these.” The entertaining cast includes Nicholas Ryan (Doc Coleman), Karen Shnider (Delia Coleman), Kate Halliday (Courtney Coleman), Melissa Nolan (Melanie Coleman), Rhiannan Jones (P.B. Coleman), Andrew Georgesz (Ryan) and James Wilson (Harper). Karen Shnider poignantly delivers Delia’s monologue, and naturalistic dynamics between Courtney (Kate Halliday) and sisters Melanie (Melissa Nolan) and P.B. (Melanie Coleman) add credibility. Nicholas Ryan presents a believable characterisation of Doc, as does Andrew Georgesz as Ryan. On opening night, James Wilson delivered an outstandingly smooth and sincere performance as groom-to-be Harper. Set design by Les Marton and his team of the 1980s Coleman family living room works well, with five entrances ensuring audience visual interest, with era-authentic costumes coordinated by Trish Carr. The good news is amid the chaos there is a surprise twist and happy ending. Congratulations to Trish Carr and her team at Stageworx for exploring new works and presenting this show’s Victorian non-professional premiere season.

Riot at Richmond
● Johnathan Peck and Caitlin Berwick in Riot. Photo: Giovanni Lovisetto ■ The Owl and Cat Theatre in Richmond premieres Riot, a heart wrenching new work by Australian playwright Thomas Ian Doyle, from June 1-14. Directed by Gabrielle Savrone, Riot explores the depths of what we are capable of when in great pain, and whether our cruelty can be redeemed. Janette wants Jim out of her life, Gavin wants Jim in, and Jim wants a Riot. Savrone’s great cast is led by Johnathan Peck (Jumpers for Goalposts, Red Stitch), with Gareth Trew (Holding The Man, Goalpost Pictures), Jennifer Ashley (La Peste, Bonemarrow Theatre) and recent National Theatre graduates Stephanie Valenzuela and Caitlin Berwick. Exciting news for Owl and Cat Theatre and Melbourne-based playwright Thomas Ian Doyle, is that Riot has been accepted into a playwriting conference in Alaska, where Broadway playwrights, directors and actors will give feedback Warning: Riot contains adult content, nudity, sex scenes and drug references. Performance Season: June 1-14 Times: Mon-Sat at 7pm, Sat at 2pm Venue: Owl and Cat Theatre, 34 Swan St., Richmond Tickets: $25/$20/$15 Bookings: www.owlandcat.com.au - Cheryl Threadgold
Environment change ■ As part of the Art+Climate=Change initiative, the Linden Projects: Atmosphere exhibition is in total a powerful artistic evocation of the warnings of the science community about the looming changes to our environment. Each contributing artist has assembled works which illustrate the losses we face should the predictions come about, and should there be no action to prevent catastrophic climate change. Tomorrow Never Dies is the beginning of the blurb about the artists’ work, expressing the hope that their “ideas can demonstrate the urgent need for initiative, forethought, response”. They do this in spades, from the haunting images of Alice Wormald, with oils on front and back of acrylic sheet, to Jack Rowlands’s arresting landscapes in confronting colours, reminding us of drastic changes which may assault the senses in the future, so that we are challenged to think again about the world around us, and its future. Rebecca Mayo’s Challenging Pockets are interesting ponderings on a re-enactment of an historical journey of discovery by Von Hugal. Borrowing from the Aborigines’ use of natural materials, Rebecca has constructed carrying vessels, or pockets, presumably for the collection of specimens. The most confronting images are presented by Debbie Symons in a continual loop of film which shows the warming patterns from 1971 to 2100 on a revolving globe of the earth . In a very clever, graphic underscore, the percentages of species ‘committed’ to extinction are shown across the screen. It is a devastating visual which is clear and unambiguous, and without artifice. It should be shown universally. The exhibition is on at Linden New Art, 26 Acland St, St Kilda, until July 12, Tuesday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm, Wednesday 11am to 8pm. www.lindenarts.org - Review by Geraldine Colson

Frame of Mind
■ Sydney Dance Company has a history of exploring and presenting creative and unique contemporary dance performance and this latest presentation of Frame of Mind at Southbank Theatre Arts Centre Melbourne is no exception. Frame of Mind is the first piece in a busy year for Sydney Dance Company with national and international touring planned. This double bill features Quintett by William Forsythe and Frame of Mind by Rafael Bonachela. “Both come from a place of contemplation of changing circumstances and heartfelt emotion and are reflective of moments in time that shift everything,” says Anne Dunn , Executive Director. Quintett glows with the emotion of the sheer enjoyment of dance, spectacularly presented by five beautiful, engaging, impressive and energetic dancers. It is thought that William Forsythe created this in memory of his wife, the dancer Tracy-Kai Maier who died at the age of 32. The accompanying music is wistful and simple and we respond to the reflective spirit as it gently envelops us. ● From P47

Photo: Lyz Turner-Clark ■ The glorious young voices of the Victorian Gertrude Opera filled fortyfivedownstairs, 45 Flinders Lane, Melbourne with music on a wintry Tuesday morning last week. It was a taste of things to come – the inaugural world class Nagambie Lakes Opera Festival – which will be held in regional Victoria from October 9 -11. Supported by three well-known wineries from the Strathbogie region - Tahbilk, Micheltonand Fowles Wines - the Festival promises to deliver an outstanding and eclectic program, to cater for all the senses, in idyllic settings in the grounds of each of the wineries, with food and wines intrinsically part of the event. Founder of the Festival is Linda Thompson, who is also founder of Gertrude Opera, formerly known as the Opera Studio, Melbourne. Special guest artists are internationally renowned soprano Cheryl Barker, and Maestro Brian CastlesOnion, who is conductor of Opera Australia, as well as Max Gillies, US Director, Luke Leonard, composer Andree Greenwell , satirist Bryan Dawe, and other professional and young artists from Australia and overseas. The organisers have focused on a Festival atmosphere and a three-day, broad-based program, in order to entice new audiences as well as the traditional opera buffs, many of whom travel the world to find opera experiences. Bill Gillies, Chair of Strathbogie Shire, presided at the Official Opening followed by representatives from the wineries. Maestro Brian Castles-Onion spoke at length about the importance of the Festival for Victoria and Australian Opera in general, and additional performances by the Young Artists of Gertrude Opera preceded a formal cutting of the specially-created Strathbogie Mist Celebration Cake. The Festival has been embraced by the local community, with many local singers and high school choirs already practising to ensure their participation will bring credit on them all. It is hoped that a ‘satiated audience’ will return to the next Nagambie Lakes Opera Festival, and to many more following, because it is sure to become a ‘must’ for anyone with a love for music, and a permanent fixture on the Australian cultural calendar.

● Benedict Cumberbatch gives an unforgettable tour-de-force performance in the gripping and outstanding Oscar winning The Imitation Game. FILM: THE IMITATION GAME: Genre: Biography/War/Drama/Thriller. Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Mark Strong. Year: 2014. Rating: M . Length: 114 Minutes. Stars: ****½ Verdict: Compelling real life WWII story of brilliant and troubled British mathematician and cryptanalyst Alan Turing and his nail-biting race against time with his team of code-breakers at Britain's top-secret Government Code and Cypher School at Bletchley Park in cracking Nazi Germany's Enigma code that helped the Allies win the Second World War. From the opening frame you are firmly gripped by this powerful story by a skilful and emotionally charged Oscar winning screenplay driven with great respect, intelligence and deep dark wounds. Exemplary 1940's period detail, it was actually filmed at the real Bletchley Park, the Oscar nominated performance by Benedict Cumberbatch as the tormented Alan Turing is a masterful and breathtaking tour de force! - confirming his status as one of the most gifted actors on the screen today. Brimming with humour, heart, soul, frightening reality and heartbreaking tragedy, this is a not only the extraordinary story of a brilliant man who changed the world, but how that same world so brutally and shamelessly destroyed him. FILM: ST. VINCENT: Genre: Comedy/Drama. Cast: Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy, Naomi Watts. Year: 2014. Rating: PG. Length: 102Minutes. Stars: ***½ Verdict: Quirky and engaging story of a young boy whose parents have just divorced finds an unlikely friend and mentor in the misanthropic (grumpy) and bawdy war veteran who lives next door. Bill Murray shines in the role of the aging war veteran with a heartfelt secret, and the usually outrageous Melissa McCarthy gives a superbly restrained performance as the mother, but it is Naomi Watts who gives a scene stealing performance as the Russian night club dancer and "Lady of the Night." Funny, touching, poignant and ultimately rewarding, this is a small, simple film with a big heart. FILM: THE GREAT GATSBY: Genre: Drama/Film-Noir. Cast: Alan Ladd, Betty Field, MacDonald Carey, Shelley Winters. Year: 1949. Rating: PG. Length: 91 Minutes. Stars: ***½ Verdict: First filmed in 1926 with Warner Baxter, this second film-noir screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel of Jazz Age bootlegger Jay Gatsby who learns the hard way about the wages of sin is considered by many as the quintessential version. Screen great Alan Ladd is right at the top of his game with a flawless performance as the legendary Jay Gatsby. The stellar cast also includes Betty Field as Daisy Buchanan, Macdonald Carey as Nick Carraway and two time Academy award winner Shelley Winters as Myrtle Wilson. Directed with a firm grip by Elliott Nugent (The Cat and the Canary) and respectfully and intelligently co-written with great depth and produced by future James Bond 007 screenwriter Richard Maibaum, this haunting classic of romance and tragedy, sitting in a vault for over six decades, is a real treat to experience and cherish!

Reserve and control samples are yet to be tested, and, in the meantime, both greyhounds are ineligible to compete in races. Hunt is currently serving an 18month disqualification from the Jubilea Bale drug charge.
Charged ■ Nine Victorian greyhound trainers have now been charged with offcences relating to live baiting, after a further two names were added to the list last week.

with Kyle Galley erts and Eric Sykes as persons charged with offences contrary to both the GRV Local Racing Rules and Greyhounds Australasia Rules. Further, Douglas Wheeler and Kyle Smale have also had their registrations suspended while a Stewards' enquiry progresses. "GRV has categorically stated that there is no place in this sport for this activity and we are determined to ensure those found to be responsible are held to account for their deplorable actions,” GRV Chairman Ray Gunston said. Stewards have laid more than thirty charges with the majority of those relating to "serious offences". The independent Greyhound Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board will hear and determine the charges the outcome of which is eagerly awaited by the industry, and community in general. The sport of greyhound racing has been tarnished no end through the live baiting saga in Victoria and interstate.
Signature card ■ Despite cold and wet weather, a big crowd packed the Wannon Raceway in Warrnambool for the cities signature greyhound racing card last Wednesday night. Aided by the annual May gallops carnival, and the appearance of the Australian INXS show, the night was one of the most successful staged on a Victorian country track for some years. The $75,000 first prize for the feature Warrnambool Classic stays in local hands after a boilover result when Elphingstone trained Nunya Tron upset its more fancied rivals. At odds of 55/1 on the TAB, Nunya Tron provided trainer Simon Barker with one of his biggest thrills in greyhound racing. “I won a Sandown Cup 15 years ago (with Osti’s Joker), and winning this race is a very, very close second to that," Barker said after the event. Also on the night, Ronray Spirit claimed his second country cup race when winning the Warrnambool Cup. trainer Terry Reid was naturally delighted with the $45,000 winners purse earned by Ronray Spirit, on the back of his success in the Warragul Cup in January.

That’s my boy! ■ The Team Hawkes trained brilliant sprinter, Our Boy Malachi, looks the one to beat in theDoomben 10,000 coming up on May 23. He is going to be a busy boy if he races in all the races for which he has been nominated. He raced in the Doomben Cup last week, and has also been nominated for the Stradbroke Handicap on June 6. The son of Top Echelon is now a six year-old, and has the ultra- impressive record of 19 starts for an incredible 17 wins and a placing, admittedly not all in top company, prior to his run at Doomben. However in his four stakes races he was won three of them, for total stake earnings of $500,000. He will come up against some talented Victorians, who will stretch him right out. Top Victorian trainer, Darren Weir, has two of his top sprinters entered, and both will throw down the gauntlet to the favorite. Lucky Hussler, who is firing on all cylinders at the moment, and his Group One winner, Trust in a Gust, will be hard to beat. Another top Victorian trainer, Ciaron Maher, has his very smart mare, Srikandi, a winner of the new Stradbroke Handicap last year engaged in both the 10,000 and the Stradbroke. In the all- important Stradbroke Handicap, to be run on June 6, the same team in the order of favourtism with Our Boy Malachi, heading the markets like in the Doomben 10,000.

■ At Bray Raceway Ballarat on Wednesday, Childers Cove duo Ange and Clare McDowall brought up two wins in succession with smart Jeremes Jet/ Illbewright colt Hellbewright by taking the Viatek Vicbred Platinum Home Grown Two Year Old Colts & Geldings Classic (Heat 1) over 1710 metres. Beginning brilliantly from gate three, Hellbewright led throughout, running his rivals ragged to score from the meritorious first starter Thats How Weroll which raced without cover - the margin a head only, with Rocknroll Shadow third after following the winner. The mile rate 1-57.4. ■ Terang trainer Matt Craven showed why he is one of the best in the business after snaring a double with two fillies at the Geelong Trots on Thursday - Aldebaran Deebee (Skyvalley/Dirty Harriet) taking the Geelong Advertiser 3-Y-0 Trotters Mobile and Craving A Smile (Grinfromeartoear/Lombo BelIessima) the Vicbred Platinum Classic Home Grown Classic for Three Year Old Fillies (heat 2) over 1609 metres, both driven by stable foreman Chris Svanosio. Aldebaran Deebee owned by Chris' dad Peter, raced in the the open for the final circuit in accounting for Cuban Fizz from a mile back and The Counsellor which led in a mile rate of 2-05.4, while Craving A Smile having her first outing, led from gate three, before surrendering to the long odds-on favourite Stay And Play (also on debut) to receive the run of the race. Easing away from the inside on the final bend, Craving A Smile finished strongly to blouse the hot pot by 1.5 metres in a rate of 1-59.5, with All Eyes And Earl (three back the markers) using the sprint lane for third. ■ In what was a great night for Chris Svanosio, he also piloted the Peter Manning (Great Western) Conch Deville/Pipiriki Lombo gelding Zamba Deville to victory in the Corio Waste Management 2-Y-0 Trotters Handicap over 2100 metres. Trailing the leader Greatsouthernlass (gate two) all of the way from gate four, Zambia Deville ran home along the sprint lane to gain the day by 3 metres in advance of Illawong Bliss which raced parked from the bell, with Princess Venom third.

Cobram meeting runs ■ Thursday's Cobram meeting was good for both Bendigo and the Goulburn Valley, with Longlea's Glenn Sharp taking the Cobram CWATrotters Handicap for T0 or better class over 2170 metres with Tiroroa Tom, Marong trainer Trevor Patching the Rotary Club Of Cobram 2-Y-0 Pace over 1670 metres with Braghetta, Copper Coast the Moira Shire Pace for C3 & C4 class over 2170 metres for Amanda Turnbull and Three Mugs In the Cobram - Barooga Apex Club 3-Y-0 Pace over 1670 metres for Ardmona's Doc Wilson. Tiroroa Tom (Zooma/Rainbows Glory) driven by Josh Duggan was always handy from 20 metres, running home best to defeat the ever reliable Kains Boy and Forestspider in a rate of 2-04.6. Braghetta a Grinfromeartoear/Lady Guest gelding making his race debut, with Trevor in the sulky, led throughout to easily account for Combined Interest which raced outside him and Comicopera (three back the markers) in 1-58.6. Copper Coast (Nathan Jack), a 4-Y-0 gelded son of Modern Art and Katasopos, ran home off a three wide trail to gain the day in advance of stablemate Big Spook which raced in the open, with the pacemaker Forbidden Forest third. The mile rate 1-58.9. Lightly raced Tell All/Taralinger gelding Three Mugs In (Donna Castles) after starting from gate two on the second row settled three back in the moving line, before going forward three wide with a rush in the last lap to lead on turning, scoring by 15.1 metres over Safina which led in a rate of 1-58.1. Hypervigilant after trailing the pacemaker finished third. Donna had earlier in the day snared the Antica Murrina Paul Roberts Jewellers Pace for female reinspersons aboard the Wayne Potter trained Matai Bryan, leading most of the way to register a 4.4 metre victory over Annie Jones (Ellen Bartley) which faced the breeze and Sailors Sweetheart (Laura Crossland) (one/one). The mile rate 1-58.7.
Did everything right
■ Kolora's Barry Beasley brought up victory number two in 31 outings with honest six year old Earl/ Maori Missile gelding Kiwi Cannon in the Dick Benger Memorial Trotters Handicap for T0 or better class over 2180 metres. Coming from 10 metres, Kiwi Cannon on this occasion did everything right, settling with the run of the race one/one, while Peters Passion began speedily from barrier four to lead. Moving three wide in the last lap, Kiwi Cannon finished best to gain the day 1.6 metres in advance of William John off a three wide double trail from last, with The Final Cut third along the sprint lane after trailing the weakening leader. The mile rate 208.4. The long odds-on favourite Jilliby Outlaw backed into a prohibitive $1.40 galloped away from the pole and again shortly after the start when making his first race appearance.
All smiles
■ Warrnambool trainer Justin Heenan would have been all smiles after his lightly raced four year old Art Major/Pacey Miss mare Stranded Saint snared the Terang Home Hardware Pace for C0 class in a race that changed dramatically over the concluding stages. Driven by the state's leading reinsman Greg Sugars, Stranded Saint was given an easy time one/one, looking a place chance only approaching the home turn as the odds-on favourite Samara Joy which had raced in the breeze dashed clear looking all over a winner. However all that was to change as Samara Sky went into a wild break checking several runners allowing Missurquhart which had been in second place all of the way to take over, with Stranded Saint in hot pursuit. In a punishing finish, Stranded Saint prevailed by a neck over Missurquhart and So You Desire in a mile rate of 2-01.2.
‘It Is Billy’ wins Pacing Cup ■ It's always great when a relative unknown trainer wins a feature race, whether it be ion the provincial circuit or in the city and such was the case at Tabcorp Park Melton on Friday, when Daylesford trainer Mick Barby captured the $20,505 Pegasus Club Melbourne Pacing Cup for M0 or better class (Discretionary Handicapped) over the marathon trip of 2760 metres with the very much in-form unfashionably bred It Is I/ Glenlyon Glad six year old gelding It Is Billy. Raced by a large group of fanatical supporters from the Central Highlands District under the banner of Glenlyon Syndicate, It Is Billy driven by Anne-Maree Conroy (Mick's wife), stepped safely from barrier three on the second line, settling a long way off the leader Comply Or Die which pinged away from barrier four. Moving forward midrace to park outside the leader, It Is Billy cruised to the front on straightening to record a most impressive 4.5 metre victory in advance of Bettor Rock On (three wide last lap) from mid-field and the Creswick owned Metro Mike. In quarters of 31, 31.6, 29.3 and 27.4, It Is Billy recorded a mile rate of 201.8.

Duel
■ Brent Lilley's Island Five Star shared victory in the Vicbred Platinum Home Grown Classic (Heat 3) for Two Year Old Fillies over 1609 metres at Geelong on Thursday with Bacchus Marsh trainer Amy Tubbs's Swiftly Tothebeach which dead-heated in a mile rate of 2-01.2. Island Five Star a daughter of Sportswriter and Special Needs on debut, led from gate two with Anthony Butt in the sulky, while Swiftly Tothebeach raced outside her from gate three. In a ding-dong duel all the way up the running, the judge was unable to separate the pair in hitting the post. Courageous Call (one/two - three wide last lap) finished third.
Settled ■ Shepparton duo Amanda Turnbull (trainer) and partner Nathan Jack (driver) landed the Loddon Real Estate Claiming Pace over 2190 metres at the Wedderburn fixture conducted at Maryborough on Wednesday with Ultimate Sheldon, a 6-Y-0 gelded son of Julius Caesar and Red Pepper. Starting inside the second line, Ultimate Sheldon was taken back at the start to settle at the tail of the field, with the speedy Rumsron striding clear from gate five. One the pace slackened, Jack was off and running with Ultimate Sheldon to effortlessly assume control and was untroubled to run out a 2.6 metre winner in 2-01.4 over The Numbers Man along the sprint lane from three back the markers and ChristianTorado (three wide last lap from last), bringing up his 7th victory in 45 outings.

Terang Trots meet ■ The traditional Warrnambool Racing Carnival Terang Tots meeting was held on Tuesday and once again the luck was running hot for the local Marg Lee stable and reinsman Glen Craven, with the Jilliby's and Keayang's well to the fore during the evening, as well as the nearby area providing winners. Glen enjoyed a great night tallying up four winners Fresh from tasting success in the APG Final for Two Year Old Fillies at Tabcorp Park Melton the previous Saturday with Jilliby Jitterbug, Marg's Art Major/Holy Gal filly Keayang Tora saluted the judge in the $7505 Terang Guineas for Three Year Olds 3C0 to 3C2 class over 2180 metres. With nephew Glen Craven in the sulky, Keayang Tora settled three back along the markers from gate three, as Sparkling (gate four) first up since November and Bellas Jet (gate five) vied for the lead, with Bellas Jet winning out. Easing away from the markers to race in the open hitting the back straight, Keayang Tora raced to the front on the home turn, opening up a margin on Sparkling who followed her into the straight. Driven confidently, Keayang Tora registered a most impressive 7.7 metre victory in a rate of 159.6 (last half 61.4) over Sparkling, with Bellas Jet 28.3 metres away in third place. Four year old Courage Under Fire/Diplomatic Lover gelding Jilliby Courage then stepped out in the Matthews Petroleum Pace for C0 class over 1680 metres. Again with Glen holding the reins, Jilliby Courage having his first outing since June last year possied one/one from the extreme draw, with the heavily backed Four Starzzz Fella leading from gate two for Kevin Brough and Matt Craven. Moving forward three wide in the last lap, Jilliby Courage was much too strong on straightening, scoring by 4.7 metres over the pacemaker in 1-59.4, with Jilliby Fireball trained by Bill Drury at Mount Gambier third after following the winner home. Glen then provided quality Art Official/Boorcan Queen gelding Jilliby Royal which he trains himself, to street his rivals in the South West Conveyancing Autumn Pace for C2 & C3 class over 2180 metres. First up since running second to C C Chevron in the South Australian Derby back in January, Jilliby Royal wasn't bustled from gate six, with Marg's Keayang Storm (Jason Lee) outside him beginning like a gazelle to lead easily. Gradually creeping forward to assume control with around a mile to travel, Jilliby Royal made a one act affair of the race, scoring in a breeze by 8.8 metres untouched in advance of Keayang Storm which easily held down second in a mile rate of two minutes even (last half 56.7 - quarter 29). Djibouti (four back the markers) finished third 9.4 metres away giving Terang the trifecta. Finishing the night on a high note, Glen piloted the Ash Herbertson (Bungaree) trained Citysneak, a five year old daughter of Metropolitan and Sneak Peak to land The Standard Pace for C1 class over 2180 metres. Despite racing in the open from gate two outside the leader Lifes Tough drawn inside her, Citysneak dashed to the front on the final bend, registering a 3 metre victory from Monumental along the sprint lane from three back the markers and Sassy Man (one/two), returning a mile rate of 2-00.9.
