I’ve seen specials cut up in different locations, but nothing like big/small. “I went through two miscarriages back to back, and I had posted about it a couple months later. Once I said something, I was shocked by all of these DMs from both men and women telling me they went through it,” Baker said. (Christina House / Los Angeles Times) Something else helpful you did, whether you knew it or not, was talk about your miscarriages. Not a funny topic, and this will look awful in print, but somehow you made it funny. That’s how you know you were born to be a comic. Now that motherhood is clicking, the special is coming out, and you still have a killer job, do things feel a bit calmer? I am getting more comfortable now, but I do miss doing nothing while sitting on my couch in a deep intense way. I still do it when she’s napping though, I just sit on my phone and fully dissociate. Actually, I kind of did the same things before I had a baby. I just wasn’t on my feet as much and I never had to get nervous when my house was quiet before. Entertainment & Arts Hollywood Inc.

We hope that this will bring the closure they need and Jake can finally be laid to rest.

Had it not been for the wisdom and courage of Crook’s allies, Americans today might well remember the Battle of the Rosebud as they do the subsequent Battle of the Little Big Horn. As it was, Crook’s team was badly bloodied—28 men were killed and 56 were seriously wounded. Crook had no choice but to withdraw and regroup. Crazy Horse had lost only 13 men and his warriors were emboldened by their successful attack on the American soldiers. Eight days later, they would join with their tribesmen in the Battle of the Little Big Horn, which would wipe out George Custer and his 7th Cavalry. The Battle of the Little Bighorn—also known as Custer’s Last Stand—was the most ferocious battle of the Sioux Wars. Colonel George Custer and his men never stood a fighting chance.

Author: Rosebud; Rose shared how the universe led her to open the bookshop “I kept having vivid dreams about owning a bookstore I could see myself walking through the neighbourhood and opening it “My goal was to keep it just English as I wanted to fulfil the demand for that from my immigrant community and I knew that the Portuguese also read in English I just didn’t realise quite how much until I opened my store About 50% of my customers are Portuguese and they prefer to read in English both from a cost perspective and because they want to read the original translation.” Rose affirmed that she wanted to complement the literary scene in Porto but the response from both immigrants and locals has been overwhelmingly positive I also did not want to compete with Portuguese businesses there are some great independent bookstores like Livraria Aberta which specialises in LGBTQ+ literature and Livraria Trama known for philosophy and artworks Rose shared that she envisioned a sage green colour scheme with wooden accents for the store but “suddenly I had this feeling that I should lean towards terracotta and I did a 180º The terracotta is a homage to Porto and its iconic rooftops bringing a sense of warmth to the space that I wanted.” Rose did end up incorporating earthy tones describing wooden counters and soft lighting “I really wanted it to have a very cosy vibe and I wanted it to feel inviting and warm I wanted there to be an option for seating as that is part of the bookstore experience so that feature was very important to me.” Rosebud Bookshop boasts a diverse range of genres philosophy and general interest – including a popular section on Palestine Children’s books and works by independent publishers and local authors also have a special place on their shelves where customers can bring in books and get store credit in return “Used books are typically priced between 3 and 8 euros” warmly clarifying that she is open to books she does not already have a copy of and is not particular about the condition of pre-loved books Regulars will also be able to take advantage of Rosebud’s loyalty programme you get a 20 euro coupon (which is basically a free book!).” Rose kindly shared what has been flying off the shelves alongside Jacqueline Harpman’s dystopian feminist novel I Who Have Never Known Men I carry a lot of stuff about Palestine which is very popular while psychology and history remain the most popular nonfiction categories.” Before sharing “I am an avid reader but I primarily read fiction and sometimes memoirs which is really good that I am doing a non-fiction book club my partner and I knew we wanted to live in Europe and experience a different culture it has a good climate – we come from New Hampshire which is north of Boston so we come from a winter climate the tropical southern climate is very nice.” yes it is a city but it does not feel like a city it has a small-town feel to it but Porto is very connected and has everything you need It is easy to get around and people are very welcoming It took over a year but now it feels like our home.” it was clear to see that community is at the heart of the bookstore Rose spoke about wanting the store to be a space for the community “I’ve hosted local author events and I am happy to support non-literary events as well more recently someone has done a slow travel talk.” Rose also revealed that she has recently started book clubs, limiting each session to 20 participants, and keeping discussions intimate. “Book club details are shared on Instagram and I invite members of the community to lead discussions and propose titles they’re passionate about.” Further emphasising how it is a low-commitment way to join or even run a book club Rose would like to expand the bookshop online already shipping some books within Portugal and she hopes to continue offering new events and celebrating more authors For now, Rosebud Bookshop will continue to blossom as a beloved literary space in Porto.

To Gill’s immense credit, he never asks you to laugh at Owen. He plays him dead straight, and that makes Owen all the creepier and appalling. It is Charlie who makes, or lets us, laugh at Owen. He makes fun of him, much to Owen’s chagrin, and to Charlie’s safety. Gill makes certain the danger is real and ever present. There are laughs to be certain. The Foreigner, which is at Rosebud Theatre until May 24,  is a comedy after all, and director Heather Pattengale makes certain the laughs are all in right places, and she has a cast that knows how to play the big laughs and the small ones. Alexander makes Betty a little dotty but in the most adorable way. It is Alexander’s way of letting us know she needs Catherine and Ellard to help her run the lodge. Once again, Morris Ertman knows how to make the little Rosebud stage seeming so suited to this particular play. Amy Castro’s costumes for Ellard are a little too pristine. They look as if they just came off a rack when they should look way more worn and torn. The Foreigner is a fun, and funny, play and Rosebud has given it a some really zany moments, without abandoning the lessons it has to teach us about the way we look at foreigners, and how ingrained racism is in some parts of America. The Foreigner is at Rosebud Theatre until May 24. transmission or republication strictly prohibited This website uses cookies to personalize your content (including ads), and allows us to analyze our traffic.

Rosebud Theatre is unique in that it is a destination with people making a commitment to go to Rosebud for a play to make that destination as appealing as possible to the widest range of Albertans who was the artistic director of Vertigo Theatre for 10 years took over the leadership of Rosebud in February from Morris Ertman who had shepherded Rosebud for 23 years You go there with the intention of seeing a play There are very few theatrical destinations in Alberta and it is up to all of us at Rosebud to make them aware,” says Hall He says that “Rosebud is the closest thing to Broadway, in that everything, and every person, in Rosebud is connected to the theatre, and to the school, that has become an important training ground for theatre professionals in Alberta. The current season is Rosebud’s 52nd season. It has  been here a long time, and it’s time more people knew of its existence.” Hall is hoping that the new season, which was planned by Ertman, will have the drawing power. Hall says “there in a community of actors, writers, and directors who live in Rosebud, and we try to use them first if possible. The Foreigner is a good example of that. Heather Pattengale, who is a graduate of Rosebud, directs, and, except for Brent Gill, who is a guest artist from Calgary, the rest of the cast is made up of graduates, and current students.” “Dream is a gorgeous show, and one that belongs to Rosebud. It is what the people here believe in, and hold dear,” says Hall. “The music is so accessible. We are hoping it has a long life beyond Rosebud. It certainly has that potential.” The second premiere, Calgary playwright Krista Marushy’s The Green House, will run Sept. 19 through Oct. 25, with Hall directing. He says it is “a mystery without being a whodunit. It’s about the effect that secrets from our youth have upon us as adults. It’s about how our past influences our present. It’s about searching for answers. Krista was at Rosebud and has written several plays. but this is the first time Rosebud has done one of hers.” Hall will also direct the final play of the season, the classic Christmas story, Miracle on 34th Street. It is the story of Kris Kringle, a department store Santa Claus who insists he is the genuine article. In the 1947 film version, Natalie Wood played the little girl whose belief in Kris finds them in court. Richard Attenborough played Kris Kringle in the 1994 version. “It is a stage adaptation by Caleb Marshall and Erin Keating that Rosebud has done before. It has 11 people so it is a large cast. Tim Dixon, who played Kris Kringle in 2016, will reprise his role for us.” Rosebud has a second stage that will present Duncan Macmillan’s Every Brilliant Thing, a British play that has become a staple with companies on both sides of the Atlantic. It is the story of a mother’s struggle with chronic depression that inspires her child to create a list of all things that are beautiful in this world. It will play on the Rosebud Studio Stage from July 4 to Aug. 30. Hall says the fact Ertman programmed this current season is a boon. “I am getting to know the audience before I program a season for them. I will see what works. They are a rural audience that is somewhat conservative, but that does not mean they aren’t adventurous. They are seeking out culture, and that is exciting and important for an artistic director.” You can now click/tap WATCH to start the live stream You can now click/tap LISTEN to start the live stream You can now click/tap LATEST NEWS to start the live stream Eyewitness Jack has detailed a frightening service station robbery in Rosebud this morning with two perpetrators stealing cigarettes and cash while threatening staff and customers with a knife The incident occurred on Point Nepean Road at about 7am with Jack telling Jacqui Felgate on 3AW Drive “it was a bit of a bizarre start to the morning” The perpetrators fled in a black Mercedes van owner of multiple service stations targeted in the last three months said he’s seen the same black van involved in over 20 robberies in a single weekend “They’re not scared of anyone,” Vipul told Jacqui Felgate Press PLAY to hear what he’s experienced in recent times Anyone who has any information on the robbery is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 Tradies pin thugs at a service station in Melbourne’s south will undoubtedly gladden the hearts of its core audiences Article contentThe fact that it never apologizes for being an old-fashioned and this is the second time it has been produced at Rosebud after having premiered at Chemainus Theatre in Vancouver It’s set on Christmas Eve 1949 in the Rosebud Opera House has hired to host its annual live Christmas radio broadcast Audiences at Rosebud are time-warped back to the war years and encouraged to applaud on cue It’s practically impossible to avoid becoming swept up in all the fun Much of Christmas on the Air will seem cozy and familiar to older patrons who may have been raised on such vintage holiday fare as Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Fir Tree, O. Henry’s The Gift of the Magi, H.L. Mencken’s Christmas Story, Clement Clarke Moore’s The Night Before Christmas, and Jacob August Riis’ The Kid Hangs Up His Stocking. These old favourites will likely feel nostalgic to younger viewers, and spritely, given the upbeat renderings they receive from director Ian Farthing. Christmas on the Air works so well at Rosebud because of the five talented performers who give it the joyfulness and tunefulness it needs. Nathan Schmidt plays Percival B. Frank, the station owner, manager, and on-air personality. Frank is meant to be a bit of a Scrooge, a role Schmidt played to perfection in Rosebud’s one-man Christmas Carol several seasons ago. He gets to say bah humbug, rail at his son, and threaten to put a damper on everyone’s holiday cheer, but it’s obvious he’s an old softie at heart. Heather Pattengale is Frank’s Dutch wife Yolanda who, it’s easily seen, is the family’s driving force off-air, though she never tries to usurp that role on-air. Pattengale’s thick accent occasionally gets in the way of clarity, but she has great comic timing to offset this blip in her performance. As their son Danny, Mark Kazakov is a whirlwind of enthusiasm. He’s the one who holds up the applause signs, and works the audience. He is also the sound effects man and turns Schmidt’s version of The Night Before Christmas into a rambunctious free-for-all, and a highlight of the evening. He also gets to delight in recalling the time he got his tongue stuck on the metal of his new sled, and when he plays the orphan who believes in Santa Claus in The Kid Hangs Up His Stocking. It’s up to Karyssa Komar to supply a sprinkling of pathos as Kitty, the weather girl, who hid from Mr. Frank that she is an unmarried mother, and to Danny, who is smitten with her, that she has a child. Both men initially behave badly at the news, but are softened by the Christmas spirit, given that Frank recites the gospel of St. Luke about Mary and her child. Seana-Lee Wood rounds out the cast as Sylvia, the pianist and home-cooking show host who tries desperately to hide how lonely she is under all her bubbly enthusiasm. Wood also choreographed the show. All five performers are exceptional singers, and with the help of musical director Bill Hamm, deliver exceptional versions of everything from O Christmas Tree to Amazing Grace. The songs are definitely the highlights of the show, and are what prompts the audience to join along for such favourites as Hark the Harald Angels Sing, O Holy Night and Silent Night. Hanne Loosen’s set design may not remotely conjure up the spirit of a 1949 little opera house but it is a beautiful backdrop for all the play’s vocal and physical shenanigans. Christmas on the Air runs until Dec. 22 and will doubtless help those who see it get into the holiday spirit. Citizen Kane has long been acclaimed as a work of genius and endlessly dissected by critics But a mystery still lies at the heart of this masterpiece Peter Bradshaw comes up with his own theory about the film’s clinching moment the story of the doomed press baron Charlie Kane – played by Welles himself partly based on WR Hearst – and told in a dazzling series of fragments Poor, poor Orson Welles: repeatedly talked about as a tragic disappointment as if he had culpably outlived his own genius he only created arguably the greatest Hollywood movie in history only produced some of the most groundbreaking theatre on Broadway only energised the progressive and anti-racist movement in postwar America As the room service waiter in the five-star hotel said to George Best: “Where did it all go wrong?” Perhaps it is the fault of Citizen Kane itself, that mysterious, almost Elizabethan fable of kingship, which so seductively posits the coexistence of greatness and failure. Martin Scorsese said that cinema normally generates empathy for its heroes but the enigma of Kane frustrates this process but can’t – so this need to love was displaced on to Welles himself and accounted for his immense popularity and celebrity in the 1940s It is the same with cinema: however immersive however stunningly effective at igniting almost childlike sympathy and love cinema withholds the inner life of its human characters The story of Charles Foster Kane is a troubled one: the headstrong newspaper proprietor who makes a brilliant marriage to the niece of the US president and takes a principled democratic stand for the little guy against monopoly capitalism but only to reinforce his own prerogatives and only in an attempt to pre-empt the growth of trade unionism like those of Charles Stewart Parnell in Ireland are destroyed by sexual transgression: an affair with a singer who is to become his second wife Kane’s indiscretion generates precisely the kind of salacious destructive news story that he had pioneered in his own newspapers Diminished by the Wall Street crash and personal catastrophe Kane becomes a pro-appeasement isolationist complacently unconcerned about European fascism though in his youth cheerfully willing to indulge the idea of a short circulation-boosting war with Spain in 1941 – Citizen Kane was released seven months before Pearl Harbor enervated and paralysed by his mythic wealth somewhere between Scott Fitzgerald’s Jay Gatsby and Adam Verver the unimaginably rich art collector in Henry James’s The Golden Bowl Charlie Kane’s last moments of childhood innocence and happiness Photograph: Collection/REX Shutterstock.But how about that tiny detail that Kane’s would-be biographers believe is the key to everything The murmured word on his deathbed: “Rosebud” but we do not – it relates to Kane’s last moments of childhood innocence and happiness playing in the snow before his bank-trustee appointed guardian comes to take him away to prepare for him his lonely new life as a 20th-century American oligarch tells us never to underestimate the importance of tiny moments and famously remarks that never a month goes by without him thinking of a fleeting glimpse he had once of a beautiful girl in a white dress and parasol Never a week goes by without me thinking of that scene without me trying to imagine that woman’s beauty and who might play her in a flashback scene (I suggest Mary Astor) and of the awful fact that Everett Sloane was to become obsessed with his own ugliness and addicted to cosmetic surgery We all know what newspaper journalists are supposed to be like in the movies: funny And Welles’s Charlie Kane is not even a self-made man charming and charismatic: the 25-year‑old Welles is so handsome Citizen Kane ‘Rosebud’ sceneI’ve lost count of the times I’ve watched the scene in which he first shows up with what we would now call his entourage at the offices of the New York Inquirer, the little underperforming paper he seizes on as the cornerstone of his future career – rather in the way Rupert Murdoch started with the Adelaide News He blows through that dusty office like a whirlwind Kane derides the idea of his paper remaining closed 12 hours a day: later he will buy an opera house for his wife to sing in and for his newspapers to promote and a vertically integrated infotainment empire Welles himself had a newspaper column for many years after Kane and I suspect he thought of himself as in some ways a newspaper proprietor with other people’s money He told Peter Bogdanovich in their celebrated interview series in 1969 that he never saw Citizen Kane again after watching a finished print in an empty Los Angeles cinema six months before it opened in 1941 – and never stayed to watch the film at the premiere Perhaps the image of Kane’s failure became increasingly painful One of the main characters is Jedediah Leland he has been kept around as a corporate courtier and is He has given Kane an intense loyalty which never quite becomes friendship and gets the job as the drama critic who must review the woeful professional debut of Kane’s second wife with neither the cunning to suppress his opinion He slumps drunk over his typewriter and in an ecstasy of self-hate and masochistic defiance and despair Critics are always implicated in the system and the system’s owners are exposed by their attempts to show themselves independent Kane has his parallels with British newspaper bosses – in fact, I’m always surprised that the comparison isn’t made more often. He is very like Lord Copper, owner of The Beast in Evelyn Waugh’s novel Scoop “The Beast stands for strong mutually antagonistic governments everywhere,” said Copper and to a reporter who has just cabled that there is no war in Cuba Kane replies: “You provide the prose-poems I’ll provide the war.” Waugh also said that Lord Copper loved to give banquets and “it would be an understatement to say that no one enjoyed them more than the host for no one else enjoyed them at all.” I think of that line every time I watch the magnificent scene in Kane showing the banquet given to celebrate the Inquirer’s success – with dancing girls brought in shouldering sparkly cardboard-cutout rifles in honour of America’s forthcoming war with Spain tired face and sad smile hints at an awful truth: despite Kane’s boyish glee and the apparent general raucous excitement it might be a terrible strain and unspoken humiliation for these salaried employees to pretend to be enjoying themselves worshipping their boss I wonder how many newspaper bosses have watched that scene and taken it as a how-to guide for triumphalism at work The scenes of Kane and Susan together in Xanadu are eerie: an Expressionist bad dream, all darkness and weird perspectives, the couple marooned in the gigantic, sinister house, Kane prowling up to Susan while she morosely fits together a jigsaw. Kane wanders to a bizarrely huge fireplace and for a second he looks tiny, and Xanadu looks like the giant’s lair from Jack and the Beanstalk. And yet Welles’s scenes with Ruth Warrick, playing his first wife, Emily, are no less vibrant, no less meaningful, especially on their arrival home for breakfast as young marrieds, having partied all night – and contemplating going to bed, but not to sleep. It is subtle but still a sexy scene. It circles back to Rosebud: the anti-riddle of the anti-Sphinx. Welles himself playfully claimed that the word was Hearst’s own term for his wife’s genitalia, and so naturally the mogul was annoyed. Another false trail. The murmuring of “Rosebud” is in one way the film’s teasing offer of synecdoche: the part for the whole, the one jigsaw piece that is in fact the whole puzzle. But it isn’t.

Records, is opening in the Hannaford plaza on April 1, in time for Record Store Day 2025 on April 12 has steadily compiled an extensive record collection This goes back to his days shopping at the former Rock Bottom Records in downtown Portsmouth “There were two independent record stores in downtown Portsmouth before Bull Moose was in town,” McElroy said Tuesday “One was called Sessions and one was called Rock Bottom Records you could buy any record for like a dollar or two because everyone's just getting rid of records That’s when I just started collecting them up for myself and falling in love with the actual record rather than with the CD.” The musician and recording engineer always dreamed of dabbling in the record store industry As his own album inventory grew over the years popped up and he contacted the landlord with his pitch More: Portsmouth Pro Musica to conclude 40th anniversary season with April concert McElroy’s longtime goal is becoming reality “It was always my dream to have a record store We’re going to hope this turns out better than the white whale,” he quipped An employee of McElroy’s at Gary’s Guitars led to his friendship with Serina Hughes musician and seventh-grade science teacher at Pentucket Regional Middle School in Massachusetts Hughes will help manage Rosebud Records and lend her expertise to all shoppers “Going to a record store is a very spiritual time,” said Hughes a vocalist and guitarist in The Moon Snails band “Part of the idea of the store is that I'm Gen X “We’ve got another guy who’s just on the edge of (being a) baby boomer Hopefully someone else will be around who (will help make the store) multi-generational (with) just a love of music McElroy and Hughes have started posting videos to a Rosebud Records YouTube channel

The organization had previous funding to plant gardens in 60 backyards a year. That work will continue, but the low-maintenance, perennial promise of food from fruit trees in those garden installations for the next three years is gone for now, as is the immediate placement of an orchard for the larger community garden. The Sicangu loss was tied to the cancellation of a larger, $8 million grant to the Arbor Day Foundation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service to promote healthy eating in tribal areas.  The Nebraska foundation awarded subgrants to groups with plans to address food insecurity in those areas, which are often “food deserts” where the nearest fresh fruits and vegetables are far away. The USDA estimates that 2.3 million people in the U.S. live more than a mile from the nearest grocery store and don’t have a car. Food deserts are associated with worse health and educational outcomes for residents. Other projects funded through the $8 million USDA grant included funding for similar projects in Wisconsin for the Bad River and Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, in South Carolina for the Catawba Nation and in Alaska for the Native Village of Tyonek. Sicangu Co. posted a redacted version of the termination notice email to its LinkedIn page. The last line says the Forest Service had determined the grant award “no longer effectuates agency priorities regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and activities.” “My hunch for the reason it was cancelled was that this award was aimed at tribal communities,” Epps said. “Obviously, I don’t have proof for that.” Elise Peterson of the Arbor Day Foundation said in a statement that the organization couldn’t speculate on the reason for the grant’s cancellation. “Right now, we’re focused on helping our sub-awardees find other opportunities to fund their impactful work expected to be supported by the federal grant,” Peterson wrote. “We are already in dialogue with our network of supporters, both individuals and corporate partners, to hopefully help some of these projects still come to fruition.” A USDA spokesperson didn’t mention diversity, equity and inclusion in a response to South Dakota Searchlight on the reasons for canceling the grants. Instead, its statement said the Trump administration “rightfully has asked for a comprehensive review of all contracts, work, and personnel across all federal agencies.” “Anything that violates the President’s Executive Orders will be subject for review,” the statement read. “The Department of Agriculture will be happy to provide a response to interested parties once Secretary Brooke Rollins has the opportunity to analyze these reviews.” Epps hopes the grant cancellation isn’t a sign of more cuts to come for the families of Rosebud. The Lakota immersion program is funded in part by federal grants. So far, he said, no funding cancellation notes have appeared that could affect that program. Even so, he said, “our feeling is that every single federal dollar we’ve had awarded to us is in jeopardy.” CNN and the BBC World Service which is copyright and cannot be reproduced AEST = Australian Eastern Standard Time which is 10 hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) A PUBLIC rally will be held in Rosebud next week to renew calls for the “urgent” redevelopment of the aging Rosebud Hospital long time hospital advocate since retiring at Rye said the redevelopment had become a “critical” issue for the southern peninsula and there were fears the hospital could be forced to close if it deteriorated further all the people and tourists that use the hospital will put extra pressure on Frankston which just won’t be able to cope,” she said “With the population increase on the peninsula and the summer crowds the Rosebud Hospital is an essential service.” Gilbert said hospital staff worked under increasingly difficult conditions former Liberal candidate Matthew Guy promised $340 million for the hospital upgrades if the Coalition won government The hospital’s main buildings have not been redeveloped or expanded in nearly three decades and not all facilities meet current Australian standards Committee for Frankston and Mornington Peninsula CEO Josh Sinclair said it was clear the hospital desperately needed upgrades He said Peninsula Health was likely to join the committee this year and he would start discussions with its CEO “It’s a priority for us and them,” he said Mornington Peninsula Shire Council has also been pushing for the upgrades The mayor Cr Simon Brooks said the peninsula’s population had grown significantly and now had one of the largest populations of older residents in Victoria He said the minimum 45 minutes to travel to Frankston Hospital for acute and emergency care put people’s lives at risk “Our community often has to travel all the way to Melbourne for specialist care,” he said “Rosebud Hospital is highly valued by our community It was the community that originally funded the hospital’s maternity ward which was closed due to lack of anaesthetists available for surgery when needed Nepean MP Sam Groth said he had tabled a 2500 signature petition in state parliament and was “100 per cent” behind the redevelopment “I have asked the Labor Health Minister to commit funding and am pushing it in parliament,” he said A Victorian Government spokesperson said the government was working with all hospitals including Peninsula Health’s Rosebud Hospital to ensure they have the facilities required to continue providing lifesaving care to their communities we’ve funded Peninsula Health more than $4 million for a range of refurbishment works and upgrades since 2015,” 0he said “We are also ensuring people in Melbourne’s south

Beals has been charged in Rosebud County District Court with felony theft of property by embezzlement The offense carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $50,000 fine Rosebud County Treasurer Kathy Fahrenbruck first noticed discrepancies in an oil and gas royalties account handled by Beals in September 2024 A similar discrepancy was discovered in another county account and Beals' explanation "did not make sense," court records state When asked by another county official about the discrepancies "I did it," and confessed to taking money but said she intended to pay it back Beals said she did not know how much money she had taken but in a later interview with the county sheriff said she had taken the money to help her adult children Beals estimated she had taken about $27,000 The county hired an accounting firm which determined from the result of two audits that Beals had embezzled nearly $309,000 over a nine-year period Course Reviews · Victoria says it’s time for this unsung hero on the Mornington Peninsula to take its place back in the top handful of courses in the country The 36-hole parklands layout has always been very good But McGrath has well and truly raised the stakes since he took over six short years ago One of the first things he did was to lure renowned course superintendent Todd has really put his stamp on the golf course.  It is now genuinely not drawing too long a bow to say that the back nine of the North Course at Rosebud Country Club (RCC) has shades of Augusta National about it although many believe this was always the case And if you think we are gilding the lily here take the hour or so drive from Melbourne to experience RCC firsthand “It is one of the best nines on the Mornington Peninsula because it just highlights the beautiful undulations of the property,” McGrath says The club is thrilled with the work of Todd and his assistant Todd moved to Rosebud Country Club in August 2017 “It was the best thing that ever happened to the club getting him on board,” McGrath says of Todd’s appointment “He’s had a blank canvas to work with and the results have been outstanding.”   And rest assured both 18-hole courses at Rosebud CC will be even better once the top golf course design firm – Ogilvy Cocking and Mead – finish the planned renovations The club is hastening slowly with the architectural work It first engaged OCM in October last year and will get them back each year around the same time “We would love to do it all at once but it’s important to keep an eye on the cost and that the course remains open to members,” McGrath says Hosting two recent tour events for men and women and the accompanying international television coverage they received has further enhanced the reputation of Rosebud Country Club (RCC) McGrath believes RCC lost its way a little during its 60-year journey when so many new courses were built on the Mornington Peninsula in the 1970s and 80s.  They included big links-style ‘beasts’ like The National the main courses on the radar were Rosebud Country Club “So many great golf courses had been built over the years that the focus went off us,” McGrath said “But now we’re starting to get back in the conversation “Our aim is to become the leading golf and entertainment destination on the Peninsula.”  Rosebud Country Club was running four or five major functions a year which were sold out on Friday and Saturday nights Next month it will host the first big social event at the golf club since the pandemic struck “You can’t buy the atmosphere this club has through its membership You know when you walk into a clubhouse whether the membership is stale or not But this place really has a vibrant atmosphere to it,” McGrath says.  It is something of which the CEO is rightfully proud You cannot do it without first and foremost offering a good golf course But the pre-golf and post golf experience are an important part of the package And we reckon RCC has got it right.  Green fee players often remark how well they are treated when they play RCC – especially in the clubhouse But plenty of higher profile neighbours with similar facilities lack the soul evident here the pro shop run by the club and the separate on-site club fitting and coaching business offered by PGA professional there are also three bowling greens and on-site accommodation – the 39-room Fairways Resort The food and drink offering at RCC is better than pub food but not Michelin Hat in quality or price – perfect to be honest The blue collar heritage of Rosebud has spawned a generous membership of both men and women when it comes to charity days The women’s charity Golden Putter Day is legendary and recently featured players from 32 different clubs.  RCC also runs a Cancer Charity Day and supports the Fight MND Campaign It has also raised funds for many local hospitals It says a lot about the generous spirit of the membership.  Women have always been a strong part of Rosebud Country Club It’s nothing to have 70 of them stay for a ‘cuppa’ and a chin wag after the weekly comp It helps create a real buzz on a daily basis in the clubhouse McGrath is quick to point out none of this would be possible without the support of the board and his team But he’s not getting carried away with the success “The most important thing is that we do not lose momentum Golf everywhere received a huge surge in participation during Covid We have to make sure we continue the upward journey we’re on.” RCC appears to be in the hands of a very capable team.  Russell Wilson: No story about the Rosebud Country Club celebrating its 60th birthday is complete without veteran former club professional He took the job as club pro on December 20 More recently he has been made Patron of the club the driveway was just a corrugated dirt road The car park was just gravel with pine trees in it and the pro shop was just a little shed It was pretty hard going there in the early days “And of course we only had 18 holes at that point but slowly and surely the business built up into what it is today “The membership started to grow and green fee numbers were strong Our members’ fees were kept down because of the number of green fees we used to take,” Wilson recalls Then came two pretty impressive golf tournaments staged by the club The first was the 1976 Australian PGA Championship.  “It was a huge occasion which was televised on the ABC and marked the beginning of colour television We played four rounds of golf and because it was a tie they came back on the Monday and played an 18-hole playoff.The televised event really put the club on the map.”  The following year the club hosted a 36-hole Open event which the great Rodger Davis won the Victorian PGA was won by Billy Britten “We had a lot of big events and that’s when things really started to move,” Wilson says The South Course was built which in the early days meant there would be an interchange of golf courses using East The first and 10th tees were all around the clubhouse and that made it practical to interchange the courses “It’s only in recent times the club has stuck to the North and South situation it has now “This is why the North Course has its credentials back as one of the best if not the best golf course on the Mornington Peninsula,” Wilson says with pride “We’re on the map again now which is fantastic.” is the longest serving member of the Rosebud Country Club She joined in September 1964 and is now a life member of the club.”  But Wilson says the greatest thing about Rosebud Country Club is that for many years men and women can get a game seven days a week “That’s quite unique and it’s been that way for many years,” he says “You can always get a game of golf at Rosebud and that’s why our membership keeps growing.” Female membership has always been one of the biggest of any club on the Peninsula And the social side of the membership has always equated to great times with RCC hosting many international stars.  “They were always terrific functions at Rosebud Country Club including big international stars like The Drifters and (Welsh comedian) Harry Secombe Wilson says CEO Danny McGrath along with superintendent have “really turned the place on its head”.  “From the day he arrived you could tell Danny was invested in the Country Club Winsor and Todd) have really transformed the golf course and the running of the place Matt Bolton: Rosebud Country Club’s PGA teaching professional has been around the club since he was a teenager “I grew up down there and know a lot of the members personally,” he says It all helps to add to the marvellous ‘family feel’ at RCC Bolton has run the hugely popular state-of-the-art teaching with one satisfied customer making a 10-hour round trip to be fitted for new clubs “It just feels like home to me because I’ve spent so many years here,” Bolton says “I was working there as a junior doing the handicapping and I was a kitchen hand right up until I was 21 I turned pro and worked at Sorrento Golf Club for three years and then went back to Rosebud as a teaching professional the quality of people around the place and the outstanding facility make it just feel like home.” The people are very personable and I’ve built a lot of personal relationships with members You feel like you’ve got a lot of mates around the place Bolton’s golf academy operates on the driving range and independently (yet seamlessly) alongside the pro shop.  “Although people at first tend to be overwhelmed by the technology we make sure we keep it simple and we don’t overcomplicate it “We want people to go out and enjoy their golf on what is a very different course for the Mornington Peninsula Rosebud Country Club gives you a bit more of a parklands feel I think the back nine on the North Course is one of the best layouts in the country.” Bolton is on site Monday to Saturday and accepts non-members as clients Rosebud Country
