Tecoma physiotherapist David Bilston will take part in one of the biggest triathlon’s in the world; Challenge Roth, in Germany.

Running 4ASD

By Derek Schlennstedt Tecoma physiotherapist David Bilston will take part in one of the biggest triathlon’s in the world on 7 July - Challenge Roth, in Germany.

The gruelling ironman triathlon comprises of a 3.8 kilometre swim, an epic 180km cycle, followed by a 42.2km marathon.

“It’s an extremely tough event; you have to cross the finish line in under 15 hours,” Mr Bilston explained.

Not only will he be undertaking the biggest sporting challenge of his life, but he's also been invited to join team Maxing Out.

Rugby legend Mat Rogers and his wife Chloe Maxwell established the team and their charity 4 ASD Kids in 2009 after their son was diagnosed with autism.

The charity raises funds to help families with children affected by autism spectrum disorder, by providing access to early intervention treatment.

To raise awareness, Mr Bilston will join Olympic legend Susie O’Neill, personal trainer Commando Steve and former pro surfer Danny Wills as they all embark on their first ironman distance triathlon.

He told the Mail that the premise of Maxing

Out was that it paralleled the challenges and rewards of training for an epic event with the struggles and joy of raising a child with autism.

Since November, Mr Bilston has been training non-stop and unlike his Queensland team mates has endured the cooler hills conditions.

“I fit in training sessions around the needs of my young family and my business,” he said.

“It has meant early mornings, running at Lysterfield Lake with a head torch and chilly evenings out on the deck cycling on the windtrainer.

"However, the hard work is all part of the journey.”

Proud to be a part of team Maxing Out, Mr Bilston and PureLife Physiotherapy aim to raise $5000 for 4 ASD Kids.

“I think most families can say they’ve been impacted by autism in some way,” he said.

“There is positive assistance out there, and by raising funds hopefully more families can access this early intervention treatment.”

To help him reach his goal, visit 4asdkids. gofundraise.com.au/page/DavidBilston or PureLife Physiotherapy in Tecoma's main street.

By Derek Schlennstedt On 20 June, year nine Sherbrooke Community School students Jem Toland and Barnaby Smith Major made history.

The duo took out the gold medal at the International History Bowl state titles, despite being out numbered, by larger teams.

The competition is open to all secondary students throughout the state of Victoria and the this year’s tournament at Kingswood college, saw 13 school teams battle for a full day on Thursday 20 june.

The small community school of 160 students battled against much larger school the likes of Scotch College, John Monash Science School, Fintona Girls and Malvern Central school.

It is the second year that Jem and Barnaby took out the award and both said they were chuffed with the win.

The two students complement one another as each have their own speciality - Jem is the

military and European history expert and Barnaby’s specialty is ancient history.

“It’s a very broad competition as it covers all history,” said Jem “In the first round we beat everyone apart from one team, who we faced in the finals and won against.”

“Most of the other teams had 6 people - four on a team but could swap two people in and out - so we were outnumbered in every game,” said Barnaby.

Students answered questions from political, diplomatic, social and military history and the boys won the team event in the junior varsity (years 9 and 10) section.

They also competed individually against all secondary students including year 11 and 12 student with Barnaby placing second and and Jem third, despite only being in year 9.

Both boys said they’d be back again next year for the hat-trick win.

“We will definitely be there and going for the hat-trick,” said Barnaby.

Jem Toland and Barnaby Smith Major made history on 20 June when they won the International History Bowl state titles for the second year in a row.

Capturing the wizard can be a work of art

By Mitchell Clarke Gembrook hobby artist Cal Osborne loves the challenge of capturing people in his work.

His latest project, painting the alluring Belgrave wizard, known personally as Baba Desi, is the most challenging piece he’s tackled to date.

“Trying to capture his character but also capturing everything else about him, the jewellery and the jacket and everything else, there are a lot of challenges in the portrait itself,” Cal said.

“But I like that challenge and I wanted to paint someone of significance.

“Everyone knows Desi.

“He’s kind of an icon around the area, I couldn’t think of anyone better.”

Cal tracked Desi down in Belgrave Main Street and asked to sit down for a coffee. It didn’t take long for the project to come to light.

Desi is a 90-year-old artist and activist. He’s a local legend and is used to being approached by members of the public, so there were no hesitations when it came to accepting Cal’s request.

Cal will enter his artwork into the John Dudley Portrait Prize through the Emerald Arts Society.

President Wendy Lindrea said this was the inaugural running of what she hoped would become a regular exhibition on the arts society calendar.

“In its first year the Dudley family are contributing the $1000 prize money,“ she said.

“The exhibition celebrates the life of John Dudley, a staunch supporter of the arts, a valued member and past president of the arts society, and twice winner of the Emerald Citizen of the Year award.”

Cal recently won a prize in the Art Show Pakenham for another portrait, despite being

new to the format.

“This is the second one I’ve ever done and the first I’ve done in paint,” he said.

He always had the touch for art but only recently followed through.

“When I came out of school, my impression was that artists don’t make any money,” he said.

“I became a graphic artist because in my mind they get paid and go to work every day.

“I pushed the art aside and it’s only recently, the last six months or so, that I’ve picked it up again.”

The John Dudley Portrait Prize exhibition opens on Saturday 27 July.

The 10 finalists’ paintings will be on display in the Emerald Library in August and the Cardinia Shire Arts and Cultural Centre in September.

IN BRIEF

Pokies bid opposed

By Casey Neill Extra pokies at the Monbulk Bowling Club would have a negative impact on the community, according to Yarra Ranges Council.

A council-commissioned report from SGS Economics and Planning found the 10 electronic gaming machines (EGMs) would provide a "modest economic benefit" for the town and surrounds.

"The essential tenet of the SGS findings is not that there will be no harms, rather that the economic benefits outweigh the harms," the council report said.

"This does not ameliorate council's concern for the negative social and health impacts in Monbulk."

So councillors endorsed making a submission to the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) on the proposal at their Tuesday 25 June meeting.

As well as highlighting "the negative social impacts" the extra machines would have, it will ask the VCGLR to "interrogate further aspects of the application".

Councillor Fiona McAllister said the SEIA "didn't come out quite as categorical as we hoped against increased numbers of EGMs at the Monbulk Bowling Club".

"We're tasked as councillors to improve the overall quality of life of the people we repre-

sent," she said.

Cr McAllister said there was huge volume of research talking about the negative impact of gambling.

"Any additional gambling behaviour or opportunities for gambling in our community will contribute to the ongoing normalisation of gambling," she said.

"I think we need to stand very firm on this one."

Cr Mike Clarke said the area was home to "a predominant pensioner/retired population and a substantial number of low income households".

"I don't accept that these people need entertainment in the form of gambling," he said.

"If we can't think of better ways of entertainment then there's something wrong."

Monbulk Bowling Club general manager Denise Rutzou said that as far as spending entertainment dollars was concerned, the focus for the club was to enhance the entertainment it offered the community and support groups who were proactive in that space.

"We plan on having dinner shows and to offer barefoot bowls on a casual basis to anyone who is interested, just to name a couple of initiatives," she said.

"If we get an opportunity to complete our refurbishment we are looking at areas like a

food and wine club or a book club and are certainly looking for other ideas to use our venue to enhance our community offer.

"We are also big supporters of the Monbulk Car Show that has been a huge successful in recent times."

Ms Rutzou cleared up one aspect of the application that the council will ask the VCGLR to "interrogate further" - figures regarding anticipated revenue.

She said expenditure at Monbulk Bowling Club would be about $499,770 in the first 12 months of operation of the additional EGMs. She said 64 per cent of the expenditure would be transferred from other venues within the Yarra Ranges and beyond.

"This results in $183,216 new expenditure for the area, which will have a 0.6 per cent impact upon the total actual gaming expenditure within the Shire of Yarra Ranges as at 2017'18," Ms Rutzou said.

The club formed in 1965 to provide a venue for bowlers - which Ms Rutzou said remained its focus - and has 30 poker machines.

Adding the extra machines would help to fund a $1.7 million venue renovation.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson told the meeting that the VCGLR would accept submissions on the proposal from the public until 16 July.

Charged with 43 offences Police received reports of a suspicious black Mercedes at Woolrich Lookout in Olinda about 2pm on 17 June.

They found the vehicle to be stolen and arrested a 36-year-old man, charging him with theft of and from a car.

Following his arrest, police allegedly located hundreds of stolen items stored in the trunk of the vehicle.

The man is facing 43 offences and was remanded in custody to face court at a later date.

Police told the Mail that various clothing times, sunglasses, backpacks, boxing gloves and a speaker were inside the car.

Olinda Police said anyone who'd had their vehicle broken into and items stolen in the past two months should call the station with details of the stolen property and, if possible, pictures of the items.

Email vp27951@police.vic.gov.au.

Attempted burglary Monbulk Police are investigating an attempted burglary at Monbulk Woolworths on 25 June at 1am.

Sergeant Luke Schroder told the Mail that two would-be thieves tried to force entry to the premises before a street cleaner disturbed them.

He said the incident might be related to a similar one previously.

Anyone with information should call Monbulk Police Station on 9756 6266.

When children warn adults on climate change future

By Derek Schlennstedt It could be argued that such is the current climate and state of world affairs that children have become the adults and the adults are the children.

In Australia - at the moment - a large open cut coal mine in Queensland has been given the green light; a plastic bag ban is being blamed for slowing the economy and hostile architecture erected in our main cities prevent the homeless from seeking shelter.

It seems that now the responsibility has fallen to those so young that they are not given the choice of the time they can go to bed to sound the alarm and point to the issues and crises that matter the most to them.

At this year's inaugural Lantern and Light International Film Festival, it was a young generation so easily caricatured as disconnected and self-absorbed, that took the chance to be heard by creating films about issues that are neither fake nor easily averted.

The festival saw movies tackle genuine problems within today's society, ranging from inequality and homelessness to climate change.

It was a heartening spectacle of the issues that are important to the generation who will eventually inherit the earth, and at the same time a terrible indictment of those of us who have not listened to their concerns.

Of the 57 schools that entered Kallista Primary School won best film in schools with their film, 'The Homeless.'

Kallista Primary School won best film in schools with their film, ''The Homeless.''

The movie follows a homeless man who has his only companion- a cat called gizmo - taken from him. The students befriend the man and raise money to retrieve the cat from the pound and eventually event get it registered.

Speaking to the award winners, actress Ivy Tucker explained that there were many issues that the team wanted to address, though the heart of this film was about compassion.

"Most people don't really care about homeless people, they just walk past them quickly or try to avoid them," the students said.

"One of our school values is compassion

and we wanted to help raise awareness for this issue, so we thought making a movie for it would be a good way to do that."

It took the grade 5-6 student three days to film and edit, with oversight provided from RAPA. In a heartening interview following the awards, the students told the Mail that it was important to show compassion and not to ignore the problems facing society as a whole, even if that problem does not impact you directly.

"We need to pay more attention to home-

less people and their needs, and look after them, and their pets."

"They are still people, and they still need a home and somewhere to feel safe."

The world is an ever-changing place, and this generation is facing new and different challenges, that are radically different to those faced by any other generation.

These young people can expect to live lives that will be quite unlike those of any previous generations. So, when they tell us that climate change, rising inequality, and LGBTIQ rights are important, we have to listen.

Discount desexing offer There is no doubt that kittens and puppies are absolutely adorable.

At Animal Aid, however, we see too many litters of unwanted animals - we know how important desexing is.

Our vision is to be leaders in animal welfare: proactively addressing animal homelessness and minimising the number of unwanted animals in our community.

Desexing is central to this.

During July, we have significantly reduced the cost of desexing your pet - we want to break down the barriers that have prevented people desexing their pets, price being just one of them.

Did you know that cats can fall pregnant as early as five months of age and may have sev-

This quickly adds up.

Hundreds are born and, unfortunately, many will have difficulty finding loving homes.

Dogs are less productive, yet the amount of

surrendered, unwanted and abandoned dogs that come to us makes it clear that there are a surplus of dogs that need adopting - when you don't get your pet desexed, you contribute to the problem.

We know there are a number of misconceptions about desexing.

Some believe pets will put on fat and become overweight if desexed.

This is untrue - your pet's metabolism may change slightly, yet it is over feeding and lack of exercise that contribute to weight gain, not desexing.

It is commonly thought that females should have one litter before desexing.

Contrary to belief, this will only increase the risk of mammary cancer and does not serve

any useful purpose for the female.

Desexing will not adversely affect a dog or cat's character.

They do not have any concept of sexual identity or ego, so desexing will not change their basic personality.

Male dogs will not feel less 'manly' because of the operation.

There are, in fact, so many health, behavioural and community benefits to getting your pets desexed.

LETTERS Scam call frustration Recently my mobile phone has been the subject of several unknown and intrusive incoming calls.

Among these are included: three from Burundi (Africa), two from Yemen (Middle East), one from Tunisia (North Africa) and one from India.

My wife and I have been awakened by these intrusions in the small hours of the morning.

Yesterday morning (26 June) my mobile received 11 separate incoming calls from unknown callers in 160 minutes, some repeatedly from the same Sydney number.

Concerned that I should respond, I attempted to reply only to learn that no such Sydney number existed.

Further enquiries reveal that these calls are part of elaborate scams whereby your phone account (which is your responsibility) is plundered financially in these scams.

I visited Telstra yesterday afternoon seeking a permanent block on all incoming overseas calls to my mobile only to be told that, for legal reasons, that was not possible.

As a 78-year-old retiree I have no overseas contacts who could know me.

I have raised this issue with my Federal Member, Tony Smith, as Telstra only advised that I change my phone number.

Two long-standing friends are suffering identical intrusions on their mobile phones.

Surely the Federal Government can amend current telecommunications laws to protect Australian citizens from these scammers?

Generous donation lets DRERS help

By Derek Schlennstedt The Dandenong Ranges Emergency Relief Service are the proud owners of a 2004 Mercedes Benz, that was donated to the charity from their Patron, Philip Wollen OAM. Located in Belgrave, the car will assist DRERS in their service that entails supporting people who are homeless and disadvantaged.

That support comes in the form of delivering food, food vouchers, payment of prescriptions, clothing vouchers, assistance with paying bills, advocacy, referrals and even crisis counselling.

Philip Wollen OAM and his wife Trix have decided to donate one of their Mercedes Benz cars to a suitable charity by advertising it on Facebook.

Charities were encouraged to apply.

DRERS CEO, Tania Bevan said the car, which aptly has the number plates 'Humane,' is a great boon for the charity and enables them to make discreet deliveries.

"It's unmarked so we don't have our name on it, which is quite important for families who don't want their children or neighbours to see."

"People can get embarrassed and we're here to help people so we don't want them to feel like they can't reach out for that help."

The car will also be used to drive clients to appointments, which the charity was unable to do beforehand as their other vehicle is used to pick up food donations 4-5 days per week.

"By having that vehicle if we need to drive a client to an appointment it's not taking away our ability to use our other vehicle to pick up

"It's not going to hinder any part of our service.

"We would never have gone out and got a second vehicle, but the fact it was given to us

means can deliver our service even better."

Currently the charity is asking for donations of warm blankets, pet food and warm sleeping bags rated to colder climates.

DRERS is at 1616/1624 Burwood Highway, Belgrave, and can be contacted on 9754 7777.

Warm hearts help in winter

By Derek Schlennstedt As winter's chill begins to bite, spare a thought for those who are doing it tough.

Cold days and freezing nights make life difficult for those who can't afford to turn on their heaters - or who don't have a heater or as much as a roof over their heads.

With vulnerable people in mind, Soupee man Gavin Smith is again running his annual blanket appeal.

"Anything basically that will keep you warm; jackets, coats, beanies, gloves, socks, blankets and sleeping bags and even baby clothing," Gavin said.

"In Upwey there's a shop called Mr Fixit and I use him as a depot, so people can bring stuff and drop it off.

"I throw it all in my van, sort it and then I get to disperse it to different places ... to homeless people in the Dandenong's right through to the city and St Kilda.

That appeal has kept Gavin very busy and each week his van is filled to the brim with all sorts of warm items.

"I receive items from places like holy fools and just people calling in to soupees on a Friday afternoon. About 3pm onwards until 5pm is really busy and I'm trying to serve soup and people are bringing bags and bags of stuff which is really marvellous."

In late 2018, the Upwey community launched a GoFundMe project to raise funds for a new van for Gavin - a well needed upgrade on his old hatchback.

"The van has been a real boon and helped me so much," he said.

"Before I had a Peugeot hatchback and I would fill it up to the roof, I couldn't see out of it, but that's no longer an issue."

"Now I've got the van I'm able to do some major deliveries."

Speaking about Homelessness Gavin said the rate has risen disproportionately in areas

Gavin Smith is helping the homeless stay warm, and you can help too. with a shortage of affordable private rental housing and emergency housing.

"In the city, suburbs and out into the Yarra Valley there are homeless people everywhere."

"It is so serious and it is getting worse."

Donations of new and gently used coats and blankets can be dropped off at Mr Fixit in Upwey or to Soupees on a Friday from 3pm onwards. For more information go to the Facebook page Soupees.

Push is on for climate

By Jed Lanyon Environmental groups in the Yarra Ranges are pushing for council to declare a climate emergency.

The Hills and the Yarra Valley Community for Climate Action are new groups concerned with the impacts of climate change and are aiming to make a positive contribution starting at a local level.

Member of the Hills Community for Climate Action Ciaran McCormack said that he wants to see Yarra Ranges Council and Melbourne City Council follow the lead of City of Sydney, who recently declared a climate emergency on 24 June.

"The explosion in community activity is because since the federal election, communities are concerned that the federal government is going to sit on its hands for another three years, in terms of energy and climate," McCormack said.

"It's a powerful piece of symbolism acknowledging that climate change is urgent and needs to be addressed immediately.

"It would commit council to things like setting an ambitious net zero emissions target, ideally by 2030 for its own operations.

"It would send an emphatic message to our community and local businesses that climate change is a top priority and it (council) wants to work with the community to address it."

McCormack said that since the City of Darebin declared a climate emergency in 2016, the movement has gone global with 594 jurisdictions in 13 countries following suit.

Last week Yarra Ranges Council passed a motion to create a report to evaluate their Adapting to a Changing Climate and Energy Future plan.

"We acknowledge that council has had this and other useful initiatives over the last few years but this motion didn't go nearly far enough," McCormack said "Last week's council motion stated it wants 'a range of actions council could take ... in partnership with the community', Hills Community for Climate Action would be happy to partner with council on this as would similar groups like Yarra Valley Community for Climate Action."

Speaking at the 25 June council meeting, Mayor Tony Stevenson said that council was on track to meet emissions targets for 2020.

"We've been so busy saving energy and reducing emission levels that we haven't actually got back to reporting," Mr Stevenson said.

"We're almost there, so it is time to think about recapping what we've achieved and to have council staff be briefing us on what more can be achieved."

"I look forward to seeing what comes from that report."

Yarra Valley Community for Climate Action created a survey to hear community ideas on the issue.

The sweet sounds of ukuleles descended on Emerald for this year’s Hills Ukulele Festival.

The event ran at Emerald Primary School on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May and featured a diverse range of world-class ukulele performers, ukulele groups and workshops.

Festival organiser and the school’s music teacher, Dan MacEoin, said all Saturday workshop participants were welcomed to the main stage during the gala concert on Sunday.

“How many music festivals have that level of inclusivity?” he said.

Photographer Greg Carrick was on-hand to capture some of the fun for the Mail. Visit mailcommunity.com.au for more.

Rylee’s a little hero

By Casey Neill A Montrose boy was lauded a little hero for keeping calm when his mum needed emergency medical help.

Eight-year-old Rylee Thomson was among 27 young Victorian to receive a Junior Triple Zero Hero Award at Parliament House on Thursday 27 June.

He called triple-zero when his mum, Tanya Russell, suddenly had difficulty breathing.

"Rylee showed maturity beyond his years and answered the call-taker's questions to get his mum the right help," his award citation said.

Ms Russell said she was very proud of her son, who's on the autism spectrum.

"Educate them from a young age is really the key," she said.

"You don't think you're ever going to use it on yourself, but from a young age I taught him and his sister our address and what to do in emergencies.

"Being a nurse as well, you never know if they're going to need it.

"He got lost when he was four and he went and told security my phone number."

Ms Russell said Rylee was playing outside his home with his sister on the day of the triple-zero call.

"I had just hopped out of the shower and was getting ready for work," she said.

"I have asthma and had a cold.

"I just started really struggling.

"I sat down for a bit and took my Ventolin and it wasn't doing anything.

"I probably started to stress myself out as well."

She was later diagnosed with pneumonia.

"One of my lungs was not working properly," she said.

"Rylee came running inside and saw me sit-

ESTA operations executive director Patrick Berry, Police and Emergency Services Minister Lisa Neville, Rylee Thomson and ESTA CEO Marty Smyth. ting on the couch and called triple-zero.

"I tried to help him with what to say on the phone, but I couldn't get anything out."

Rylee provided the call taker with the address.

"The triple-zero call-taker told me that was the most important part, just getting the help there," Ms Russell said.

She said Rylee's principal and teacher were very proud of his efforts and he spoke to his classmates about the honour.

"It's a good thing for educating others," she said.

She works with doctors and several told her

Rylee's story had inspired them to teach their own kids what to do in an emergency.

Call takers at the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA) nominated the little heroes.

Police and Emergency Services Minister Lisa Neville attended the 15th annual Junior Triple Zero Hero Awards and congratulated the youngsters.

"The bravery and courage these young Victorians show during emergencies, often involving their loved ones, is truly inspirational and I congratulate them on their outstanding efforts," she said.

Budget tick

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Ranges councillors unanimously approved the proposed 2019-’20 budget at their Tuesday 25 June meeting.

The State Government capped the shire’s average rate rise at 2.5 per cent.

But rates are based on property valuations, so some ratepayers will see higher increases while others will see a drop.

The average valuation in Ryrie increased 4.77 per cent, so rates in the likes of Healesville and Yarra Glen will increase an average 6.61 per cent.

Melba Ward valuations went backwards 3.66 per cent, so rates there will drop 1.64 per cent on average.

On farming properties, the average rate rise will be 4.61 per cent.

Commercial property rates will increase by 3.79 per cent across the shire and industrial property rates are to rise 5.36 per cent.

The council approved spending $2.26 million on drainage and $3.69m on footpaths and cycle ways.

There’s $16.64m allocated for parks and open space and $6.79m for recreational, leisure and community facilities.

Roads are set for a $10.89m boost and buildings $27.97m.

The budget will allow the council to deliver more than 120 services.

It includes $3.9m for libraries, $1.6m for maternal and child health and immunisation services, $1.8m for maintaining aquatic facilities and more.

The council has worked to secure a lower energy rate and is switching to energy-efficient lamps in public lighting, to drive down energy costs and reduce environmental footprint.

Cr Stevenson said the council also negotiated a cheaper price for processing recyclables from kerbside collection so its waste charge would stay the same.

LOOK GOOD, FEEL GREAT

Natural healing for life

By Danielle Kutchel The Natural Healing Centre aims to help its patients achieve good health and wellbeing - a goal that can be achieved and is well-worth having.

The Centre has long been located in and around the Hills, having opened in Gembrook originally before moving to Emerald and then settling in Ferny Creek where it has been for 14 years.

Dr Nerida James, owner of the Centre, says she and her team are able to provide a range of services for patients.

“We have a multi-modality practice, offering a huge range of care to personalise a program for you that achieves results,” Dr James says.

Services include herbal, homeopathic and nutritional medicine, therapeutic, deep tissue and relaxation massages, lymphatic drainage, Bowen Therapy, osteopathic treatments, spinal manipulation, naturopathic care which includes iris diagnosis, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, cupping, cold laser therapy for joint and back injury, and NAET, an energy balancing technique based on Chinese Meridian principals for assisting a person with food and environmental intolerances.

The clinic has seen thousands of patients over its 40 years, handling conditions such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autism, arthritis, food intolerances, digestive issues, childhood illnesses, infertility, pain, migraines, back and neck trouble. Its staff can also help with complimentary medicine for cancer patients going through medical treatment.

“We are results-driven and our motto is health and wellbeing,” Dr James says.

The Natural Healing Centre is open six days a week, including Saturdays, from 9am til late.

It is located at 8 Mt Erin Road, Ferny Creek.

AHWAHNEE - THE EPITOME OF HILLS CHARACTER, CIRCA 1910 ORIGINAL in every sense of the word, this cottage set on more than an acre (4522 square metres) is the quintessential hills home, the agent says.

Privately positioned and elevated at the rear of the generous parcel, the property, formerly operated as a B and B, is calling out for its new caretaker.

The classic 100-year-old weatherboard cottage has wide verandas on three sides, original sash windows, high ceilings and is privately positioned on the land with generous amounts of space right around the home allowing for future expansion.

Recent upgrades include gas log fire, ducted gas heating and gas hot water service.

The home has been re-wired, re-plumbed and so is ready to move into.

This property over the past 30 years has been used for short term rental accommodation (B and B) and has two large bedrooms, a large lounge/sitting room which

incorporates a dining area, separate country style kitchen and spa bathroom.

The agent says this is a traditional hills

cottage with an abundance of character and charm on a classic old garden block with north-facing aspect. â—?

A WIN FOR BOTH THE Dandenong Ranges Community Bank Group board has supported two local clubs with a much-needed contribution to purchase a new scoreboard.

"Following on from our major commitment to Upwey Tecoma Community Recreation and Sporting Hub facility in 2011, which came to fruition last year and benefits over 20 user groups in the Upwey area, our board has enthusiastically supported the project put forward by the football and cricket clubs that use this facility to purchase a new stateof-the-art scoreboard and has committed $55,000," senior group manager Mike Fleming said.

"Our existing scoreboard has been looking the worse for wear for many years now and we can't wait to see the new Upwey Community Bank scoreboard installed.

Queen of the camels brings the cup home from Uluru

By Jessica Anstice Gembrook’s Rachael Woodham won this year's Uluru Camel Cup. She has been a familiar face among the ‘camel people’ for about 20 years, since her camel racing days started when she was just 16 years old.

“I was actually trying to get out of school and join the transport unit at the army,” she said.

“The transport unit’s mascot is camels and they had camels at the army base - they asked if I could race those.

“I fell off three times in my first race meet, but I kept getting back on and everyone would joke and tell me to get some velcro to keep me on my seat.”

From there, Ms Woodham learnt how to hang on better and has raced professionally since.

“You don’t race with reins so you really have no control of the direction," she said.

"There’s a little handle you hold on to.

“If the camel hates the race, there’s nothing you can do - it’s just going to walk off the track.

“I yell, scream and whip but some camels are good at running and some are not.

"If they don’t want to run they’ll just walk or they’ll turn around and go the other way.”

Ms Woodham described camel racing as “crazy” and said she did it because she loved adrenaline, the people and the competiveness.

She said the racing was as much about the fun of attending the outback camel riding festivals as it was the thrill of riding a camel, which can run almost as fast as a racehorse.

“The speed is quite similar," she said.

"A camel can go as fast as a racehorse, or very close to but not for a long distance.

“The camel races are usually 400 to 600 metres.

"The maximum that they would race them is 1500 metres."

Gembrook jockey Rachael Woodham with her daughter Charlee.

Rachael Woodham crosses the line to win the Uluru Camel Cup. Alice Springs, Uluru - held on 24 and 25 May this year - and Boulia host the three biggest camel races of the year.

“I’ve travelled around Australia for camel racing," Ms Woodham said.

Picture: ASH ATTRILL

"The races are mostly at little outback towns that no one has ever heard of and it’s the biggest event that that town has that year.

“I’ve got to race at the major racetracks like Randwick in Sydney at massive events.

"The festivals usually get a huge crowd.”

It seems camel racing will run in the family after her 15-year-old daughter, Charlee, competed in her first race at Forbes in New South Wales this year.

“It was an eight to 10-hour drive up there so the whole way we lectured her to just hang on,” Ms Woodham said.

“It was extremely stressful from my end because I don’t even know if she can hang onto a horse well.

“I told her ‘don’t whip, don’t try to win, just be on your camel when you go over the finish line, please’.”

Camels aren’t the only animals that Ms Woodham has a soft spot for. She also has a horse and a donkey - which the real estate business owner received as a sales commission.

“The donkey was the best commission ever," she said.

"I once put a saddle on him and his halter and jumped on - it didn’t end well.”

Ms Woodham has just undergone a knee reconstruction so racing it out of the question for the next three months, but she plans to get back on the hump next year.

ENTERTAINMENT

Killing Heidi set to perform at the York

Gets under the skin

By Derek Schlennstedt

Winner of the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Parasite is a harrowing, darkly hilarious psychological thriller from South Korean auteur Bong Joon-ho.

After gaining a prestigious English tutor job for the wealthy Park family, Kim Ki-woo (Choi Woo-shik) arranges for his entire impoverished family to work for them under fake identities, but their ruse quickly unravels in disturbing ways.

A searing satire of South Korea’s rigid social structure, Parasite starkly juxtaposes the money-grubbing industriousness of Ki-Woo’s family with the complacent vanity and casual thoughtlessness of the Park family.

This sets the stage for the film’s compelling anti-heroes: Ki-Woo’s family are richly-characterised, clever, devoted to one another and stuck in a rut of poverty, but are deceptive and even ruthless in their manipulation of the Park family. The film derives intense suspense and macabre humour from their underhanded schemes and their scramble to keep up appearances. Meanwhile, class-based angst and a dark secret in the basement simmer under the surface, culminating in a gut-wrenching climax.

Parasite is a work of extraordinary atmosphere and tight plotting, with subtle hints and nuances paying off ingeniously later in the narrative.

Challenging our empathy at every turn, Parasite may be the most masterfully-directed film of the year so far, and is certainly the most provocative.

- Seth Lukas Hynes

If 'WEIR' or 'Mascara' are the songs that take you back to 1999, don't miss the chance to get up close and personal with the band behind them at the York on Lilydale on 24 August.

It's been twenty years since Hooper Siblings Killing Heidi released their disarming folk pop song, 'Kettle' on triple j unearthed.

The band soon expanded into colourful teenage power pop and burst onto the national and international stage with their breakthrough debut album Reflector, released in March 2000.

Anthemic singles 'Mascara' and 'Weir' made Reflector a blow-out success and cemented the work as one of Australia's most loved pop albums.

The early naughties belonged to Killing Heidi with Weir placing #2 and Mascara #14 in triple j's Hottest 100.

Reflector went onto to take out four ARIA awards and reach platinum status.

The Hooper siblings also won the criticallyacclaimed APRA songwriters of the year award.

Ella and Jesse Hooper reignited the flame re-banding for the 20th anniversary of Queenscliff Music Festival in November 2016, a perfect fit as it marked 20 years since the siblings first started performing as 'Killing Heidi'.

Inspired by the electric energy and capacity crowd their reunion performance drew, they then went on to wow fans at the Zoo Twilight concert series in February at Taronga and Mel16 MAIL

Ella Hooper from Killing Heidi. 162528 bourne Zoo and now will come to Lilydale.

"What Killing Heidi's music meant and still means to the people that shared that amazing time with us really blows me away," Ella Hooper said.

"I meet so many people, especially young

Picture: DAVID HARRIS women, who tell me how Killing Heidi inspired them to be themselves, back themselves or even start a band, and I'm completely honoured that it had that effect on people."

The Band will play at the York on Lilydale on 24 August, so get in quick.

Hundreds turned out for an emotional tribute to a Mount Evelyn Junior Footballer who lost his life last year.

The under-16s from the Mount Evelyn and Wandin junior football clubs played for the Jai Reed Cup on Sunday 30 June.

Jai died from complications with epilepsy on 28 October last year so the match raised funds for the Epilepsy Foundation.

Mount Evelyn Junior Football Club president Anthony Burns said the club was still counting the proceeds.

"From midday, everyone that came through the gate we donated 100 per cent of the funds to epilepsy," he said.

Burns said the day was very emotional, with lots of hugs.

"I was really impressed with our community, with how many people were there," he said.

"They filled the hill, shoulder to shoulder."

The Rovers had a big win over an undermanned Wandin, 142 to 12.

Burns said coach Daniel Thiele presented Jai's number 11 guernsey to his grandfather, who in turn passed it onto Jai's younger brother Kayden.

"Kayden kicked a goal in one of the quarters, and every player on the ground got around him," Burns said.

Jai made a big impact on the club in two short seasons, described as a larrikin, charismatic and a really likeable kid.

His death rocked and then bonded Jai's teammates.

"I can see them in the change rooms before games, the tight bond that they've got now," Burns said.

"Just all of them are there to help each other."

The club hopes to make the match an annual tradition.

Breakthrough win counts for Bloods

By Nick Creely It’s been a tough start to life in AFL Outer East for Healesville, but there are always glimmers of hope, and Saturday provided its fans and footballers with one of those moments.

The previously winless Bloods - who sit bottom of the Premier Division - ladder, snatched an incredible victory from the jaws of defeat on the road against Upwey Tecoma, 10.11 (71) to 8.14 (62).

While the win will have no bearing on the race for finals, it was a win for all involved in the Bloods community.

The Bloods trailed for most of the day, with the Tigers always seemingly having the upper hand, but crucially the visitors stuck fat and entered the main break with a manageable 13-point deficit.

Fighting hard - and making life difficult for the home side - the Bloods just kept on ticking along, with Rodney Woodford (six goals) completely dominant as the game started to heat up and giving them a fighting chance of stealing the win in the final term after kicking three goals to one in the third.

With conditions less than favorable for free flowing footy, the Bloods - against the odds and with pressure to finally push for its first win of the season - surged home, kicking two unanswered goals in the final term to walk away nine-point winners.

Woodford was clearly best afield, snaring six goals in an indomitable display, while Nick Mende and Ash Hamer were superb.

Berwick, meanwhile, flexed its muscles when it mattered to run away with a dominant win against Wandin at home, 15.22 (122) to 5.6 (36).

Incredibly, the Dogs came out snarling, kicking five first quarter goals, opening up a 16-point lead on the dominant Wickers.

But that’s where its competitiveness ended, with the Wickers holding the visitors goalless over the next three quarters, adding a further 13 themselves in a ruthless display in the rain.

Jordan and Madi Andrews were superb for the Wickers - particularly after the first break - while Travis Tuck and Dog Tom Hinds were influential.

In the round’s remaining matches, a faststarting Beaconsfield were too good for an under-siege Cranbourne at Holm Park, 12.7 (79) to 4.6 (30), while Narre Warren held off a brave Olinda Ferny Creek, 13.20 (98) to 9.4 (58).

Woori Yallock had the bye.

In Division 1, yet another wayward performance from Monbulk was not enough to concede its first loss, with the Hawks holding on against Mount Evelyn to remain undefeated, 6.18 (54) to 6.8 (44).

The Hawks kicked 2.0 in the first term, and despite dominant large chunks of the game,

kicked 4.18 for the remaining of the match and hold on despite the Rovers playing some excellent football.

Pakenham also kept pace with the Hawks with an incredible come-from-behind win against Officer at Starling Road, 9.5 (59) to 6.10 (46).

The Lions - after being held scoreless in the first term - trailed by as much as 18 points early in the final term, but rattled home, with former Melbourne footballer Josh Tynan the man of the moment with two vital last term goals as the visitors surged past the Kangaroos.

In the remaining matches, Doveton was just a class above Warburton Millgrove, 12.18 (90) to 3.7 (25), while Emerald found some momentum with a strong win against Belgrave, 17.10 (112) to 8.9 (57).

Division 2 saw Gembrook-Cockatoo’s finals hopes take another hit, falling narrowly at home to ladder leaders Yarra Junction, 9.11 (65) to 7.11 (53).

The Brookers paid for its slow start, trailing by as much as 32-points at the major break, but fought back and got within two goals by the final siren.

Phillip Cubin was super for the Eagles in a best afield display, while former Kangaroo Michael Firrito had a major impact for the home side in the narrow loss.

Bloods stay on top in the wet and wild Round 10 of Premier Division Outer East Netball was played on Saturday 29 June in very wet and wild conditions.

In 17 and under, the Olinda Ferny Creek girls travelled to Robinson Reserve in Doveton and pulled off a huge upset by defeating the fifth-placed Doveton by three goals.

It was by far the side's best performance of the year and will give the girls renewed confidence for the remainder of the season.

Open age netball was at Kalora Park in Narre Warren North, where Olinda Ferny Creek took on Narre Warren.

D-grade also saw an unexpected win by the Bloods.

When the two sides met in round one, Narre Warren had a comfortable 18-goal victory, but this time around it was Olinda Ferny Creek by two goals to reclaim fifth spot on the ladder.

C-grade was not as fortunate, coming up against a very strong and disciplined Narre

Warren side.

While never giving in, the Olinda Ferny Creek girls were just outclassed by the Magpies, with Narre Warren victorious by 20 goals.

B-grade was played in the worst conditions of the day, with torrential rain falling throughout.

This Olinda Ferny Creek side has risen to a new level this season and deserves to be holding the top spot on the ladder.

With strong performances right across the court the girls ran out 14-goal winners.

Conditions improved slightly for the Agrade match and again it was Olinda Ferny Creek victorious over Narre Warren, this time by 26 goals.

The A-grade girls also hold top spot on the ladder.

Olinda Ferny Creek will host Upwey Tecoma at Olinda Recreation Reserve on Saturday 6 June with the first game at 11.25am.

On Monday 15 July, Olinda Ferny Creek will play in a unique charity match against Victorian Netball League club Ariels at the Maroondah Nets complex at HE Parker Reserve in Heathmont.

This match-up will raise awareness and much needed funds to fight multiple sclerosis, or MS. Club captain Ashlee Hottes, was diagnosed with MS in 2016 but it has never slowed her down as she played pivotal roles in the club's A-grade back-to-back premierships in 2017 and 2018.

The action kicks off at 7pm with Olinda Ferny Creek's B-grade taking on the Ariels' development side followed by the main event, Olinda Ferny Creek's A-grade against the Ariels' championship side.

A $5 donation at the venue will all go to the Kiss Goodbye to MS campaign.

Rovers search for Premiership players Mount Evelyn Football Netball Club is urgently trying to contact past players and officials from its 1969 Premiership side.

The club is holding a reunion on Saturday 6 July and is reaching out to Terry Dunne, Barry Wasley, Bob Wasley, Mick Waghorn, Peter Jackson, Ray Cunningham, Fred Reid, Robin Keatch, Steve Slater and Les Lloyd.

Mount Evelyn had a very successful year in 1968 and improved on that by winning the 1969 Grand Final, too strong through the season for the other teams in third division.

At the time that included Bennettswood, North Ringwood, South Croydon, Wantirna South, South Croydon, The Basin, Yarra Glen, Belgrave South, Wandin, Coldstream, Montrose, Mooroolbark and Rowville.

The side beat North Ringwood at Lilydale by 13 points to win its first ever flag.

Reports from the time said the entire team played extremely well on the day, but the shining light was the centre line of John Eastham, John Neilson and Michael Henderson.

The other team members were playing coach Bob Wasley, Robbie Reed, Steve Slater, mailcommunity.com.au

Jaclyn Healy has played 100 games for the Montrose Demons. 195130 Picture: JED LANYON

One hundred for Healy

By Jed Lanyon Jaclyn Healy celebrated her 100th game for the Montrose Football Club when she lined up against The Basin on Sunday 30 June.

Healy is one of the first among her age group to achieve the milestone in the under 14 premier division of the Eastern Region Girls Football League.

Healy slotted four goals to lead the Demons to a 20 point victory.

She said she fell in love with the sport when kicking the footy on the streets with her dad and that she hopes to one day play at the highest level.

"I play a lot a full forward and occasionally in the midfield."

"I enjoy playing with my friends, it's just fun."

Healy has won her league's goal kicking award in back-to-back seasons.

She said the highlight of her early career was winning a premiership in the under 12s.

Jaclyn's father Peter Healy said that many family members came along to watch Healy's big game on Sunday.

Her mother, Lauren Kelly said that Healy kicked her entire team's score except for one point on that day.

"I'm just really proud of Jaclyn, footy is her passion and she's just stuck to it," Kelly said.

"She was the only girl at the club for so many years and they started this girls team so that she had somewhere to go and now it has grown."

MOTORING

Motorbikes safety push A new motorcycle education safety campaign has been launched to help address a tragic spike in motorcycle fatalities in Victoria this year.

On 19 June, 28 motorcyclists and passengers had lost their lives across the state this year - 11 more than for the same time last year.

The 'Every Second - Always On' campaign encourages riders to brush up on their safe riding skills and knowledge.

The campaign highlights the need for motorcyclists to be constantly vigilant and focuses on key contributors to crashes - speed, cornering, road positioning, road hazards, and other road users.

A new online quiz has been developed to

test and refresh motorcyclists' knowledge of safe riding behaviour and road rules.

The quiz engages motorcyclists in a conversation about safety and encourages ongoing education about road rules and rider behaviour.

"Whether an experienced, recreational or learner rider, we want all motorcyclists to brush up on their skills and knowledge each year to ensure they are riding to their ability and adapting to the road conditions," Roads, Road Safety and the TAC Minister Jaala Pulford said.

"Motorcyclists are more vulnerable our roads compared to other road users.

"Riders should test their skills and knowl-

edge and continue to develop and practice safe riding habits."

The safety messages will also be promoted to motorcyclists through traditional and social media, and roadside billboards across Victoria.

Motorcyclists are over-represented in road trauma.

They make up less than four per cent of registered vehicles yet account for about 19 per cent of deaths on our roads this year.

'Every Second - Always On' complements the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) Perfect Ride motorcycle safety campaign, urging Victorian riders to take care on the roads.

The new HiAce is set to help us all to carry the load

The new V6 petrol engine provides a huge increase in power and torque compared to the previous model's four-cylinder unit, with peak power boosted by 89kW while peak torque is increased by 108Nm to 351Nm. Although total capacity for the new turbodiesel engine has been slightly reduced, it too offers more peak power and torque with an increase of up to 30kW and up to 150Nm compared with its 3.0-litre predecessor.

At the same time, official combined cycle fuel consumption for turbodiesel variants has been cut by up to 8.7 per cent - thanks in part to a new stop/start system - with the manual LWB turbodiesel van variant returning a figure of just 7.5l/100km2.

Toyota is also offering a LWB crew van that adds a second row of seats, enabling it to carry up to four passengers and driver, and is available exclusively with the turbodiesel engine driving the rear wheels through the six-speed

automatic transmission.

For carrying passengers rather than cargo, the new HiAce line-up also includes the 12seat Commuter model that is available in two grades, both powered by the turbodiesel/automatic transmission powertrain.

The Commuter GL is a small bus that offers prestige features including power sliding side door, front and rear air conditioning, six rear USB charge outlets, eight reading lights, premium upholstery and 16-inch alloy wheels.

With the new semi-bonneted design, Toyota has been able to move the engine forward ahead of the front axle and seats, providing easier access to the engine bay, improved safety and greater stability and ride comfort.

The LWB variants are 570mm longer and SLWB versions 535mm longer than the previous generation models.

All models feature height-adjustable driv-

er's seat, tilt and telescopic adjustable steering wheel with controls for the audio, infotainment and cruise control systems, manual air conditioning and extensive storage areas with big front door bins and 1.5-litre bottle holders.

The HiAce features the latest generation multimedia system with a large seven-inch touchscreen display.

Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance features include a pre-collision safety system with pedestrian and daytime cyclist detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, road sign assist (certain speed signs only) and auto high beam.

Further standard safety features include cruise control, anti-lock brakes, vehicle stability control, blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors and up to nine airbags depending on the model.

Toyota has launched a new HiAce van range that it says delivers vast improvements in driver comfort, performance, safety and functionality - with the same expansive carrying capacity as its predecessor.

The first new HiAce in 15 years has been completely redesigned with a new semi-bonneted configuration.

It's designed to meet the needs of commercial, private, corporate and fleet buyers.

Sitting on a substantially longer and wider all-new platform, the new HiAce combines efficient new turbodiesel and V6 petrol engines, the latest suite of Toyota Safety Sense features, and a redesigned cabin with improved ergonomics.

There'll be nine variants in the new model, with van versions available in long wheelbase (LWB) and super long wheelbase (SLWB) with a choice of new turbodiesel and petrol engines, manual (LWB-only) or automatic transmissions, and two-seat or five-seat capacity.

Toyota's sales and marketing vice president, Sean Hanley, said every aspect of the new HiAce had been designed to appeal to owners who often spent long days behind the wheel.

"We focused on making the new-generation vehicle an even better tool of trade through an all-new semi-bonneted design, increased performance, a quiet cabin, smooth ride and improved handling and agility," he said.

"Its impressive carrying capacity is even more flexible and user-friendly with increased internal width, and increased height on LWB versions.

He said dual sliding side doors on the SLWB variants could take a standard Australian pallet.

"We are also providing HiAce customers with the same high level of safety as found in our passenger cars and SUVs with a full suite of advanced Toyota Safety Sense technologies," Mr Hanley said.

Priced from $38,6401, the HiAce range kicks off with the LWB van with the option of a 207kW 3.5-litre V6 petrol or 130kW 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine and sixspeed manual or automatic transmission.
