What Does Jock Remember?

What Does Jock Remember?
When you've lived in a place most of your life, you get to see a lot of changes, and you get to know a lot of people. Jock Dean is a Mount Barker local, just like his parents and grandparents. Throughout his life he's mixed with locals who have shaped the district. They've had a hand in shaping what Mount Barker is today. Some of Jock's schoolmates include prominent sports and business people, members of local service clubs, and even my mum. I caught up with Jock to reminisce about his early years in the town, his career, and what he thinks of how the future is shaping up. Listen closely, and see how many local names you recognise - I'm sure there will be quite a few. Image from the Mount Barker Local History Centre: Flashback to the 1960’s.

What's the Latest in Cricket?

What's the Latest in Cricket?
While the weather might not always do what we're expecting, it is definitely cricket season, and that's a great time for me to catch up with today's guest. Joe Hill of the Alexandra and Eastern Hills Cricket Association has been involved as a player and administrator of local cricket for most of his life. This week, Joe gives us some insight to what's happening in the game now, and how it's evolved from the association cricket we know of decades gone by. Joe talks to us about the new women's cricket competition, and an award recently won by the association. And I might have a story to tell about how long I've been a fan of the game

What's Next for TiffanyKB?
Have you ever wondered what would have happened if you had followed your childhood dreams? What would your life be like now? Would you be rich and famous? Have an amazing career? Live in another country? It's hard to say how life would have turned out if we made different decisions. And for more than a few of us, the opportunity to follow those childhood dreams is slipping out of our reach. When Tiffany was in primary school she wanted to be a famous musician. She learned to play a few instruments, and she started writing and performing her own songs. First as a busker, and then at organised gigs. Her family helped and encouraged her along the way, and now her musical career looks set to take off. At the grand old age of fourteen, Tiffany has two current releases, and a handful of other songs in production. I caught up with Tiffany when she was in the middle of a whirl of media interviews, and we got the chance to sit down for a long chat. I also got the chance to talk to her biggest fan - her grandfather Gordon. Check out Tiffany KB on Spotify

What's Silvio Dreaming Of?
One of the big parts of our lifestyle here in the Adelaide Hills is our rich arts culture. The hills is a haven for artists of all types, where they can create, learn, share and sell their works. An indelible part of that culture is Silvio Apponyi. He's been creating sculptures for decades in stone, wood, and other materials. Along the way he's helped many other artists get a hand up, and helped them on their way to their own successful careers. Silvio's latest project is something that will never be finished. He's working to create an arts hub at Crystal Lake at Macclesfield. A place where creatives can get together, share ideas, and spread their artistic wings. Silvio joins me this week to talk about his life and his plans to create a new space for creatives.

What's Happening This Weekend?
Paul Farina grew up in the Adelaide Hills. Along with his big brother Anthony he was a mad keen sports nut, involved in every sport he could get his hands on. As an adult, Paul found himself playing cricket in England and then settling in Melbourne to develop his own business. Then, a couple of years ago, Paul got call from his brother that he will never forget. Anthony had been diagnosed with cancer. When your big brother suddenly becomes vulnerable it can knock your world around. Paul spent a lot of time looking at his own health. But he also spent a lot of time with Anthony as they reminisced about growing up in the Hills. They made a plan to catch up with some old mates. Before they knew it, Paul, Anthony and the crew found themselves planning a gala dinner and a huge family fun day. This weekend you can get down to Heathfield oval to join in. Watch the T20 game, and enjoy all the entertainment on offer - it's going to be a great day out for all the family. Today I'm talking to Paul about the event, but also about the very important and often neglected topic of men's health. There's some stuff in today's interview that every man needs to hear, so grab the men in your life and make sure they're listening. Don't leave your health to chance. If you find something not quite right, or if you need help with your mental health, see your GP about it. Family fun day and T20 game on Sunday 7 November Adelaide Hills, Cricket, T20, Mount Lofty Cricket Club, Men's Health, Movember

What's the Butterfly Revolution?
Some interesting topics can come up when you're having a free-ranging conversation. In my chat with Greg Were this week we did talk about his music and his latest album. But we also covered the nature of time and memory, problem solving methods used by Nicola Tesla and changes in the music industry. Greg's new album, The Butterfly Revolution Continues, is available now, and it makes for some thought provoking listening. Greg has generously given me permission to use his music for the podcast.

What About a Band Festival?
Love live music and a family day out? This week What the Hills has something just for you. The Hahndorf Band Festival is due to happen this weekend. It's a full on day of live music brought to you by bands from across the Hills and the metro area. This Saturday head to Hahndorf to enjoy the Festival as the bands compete to give us the most crowd pleasing music they can. My guest this week is Greg Francis, who's a director of the festival, and a lifelong member of the Hahndorf Town Band. He's really excited to bring the event to us, and share it with the community. Greg talks about the event, but also about the band, the brass band tradition, and his family history in Hahndorf. What the Hills is the podcast for the Adelaide Hills.

What's the Future of the Mylor Hall?
10/03/2021
What's the Future of the Mylor Hall?
In the Adelaide Hills our community halls often sit in the background of our lives. They're the place we go for yoga classes, for school holiday activities, emergency meetings when a disaster strikes our town, community fundraisers and markets. We don't often think about the importance of our halls, but imagine what would happen if they were taken away. They're so integral to our communities that it's possible we'd completely lose that community feeling without the focus point they provide. This week on What The Hills I'm talking to Clare Bradley about the Mylor Hall, which is ready for some changes so that it can keep serving the community it's part of. The Mylor hall has a fantastic kitchen, great stage and lighting, modern air conditioning, and a great location. What it needs is fresh volunteers and some new ideas, or it may be lost to us forever. Clare tells us a little about the hall and what it means, and shares some of the ways it's become part of Mylor life, from her kids birthday parties to her favourite shirt. Oh, and there might be a ghost and an explanation about why Mylor has no pub thrown in. For more information about the Mylor hall, you can check out the Mylor Citizens Friendship Club, Mylor Hall, Mylor Music Night and Mylor History group, all on Facebook. Don't forget the famous Mylor Pop Up Pub night on November 13 - it's rare indeed to have a night out at the pub in Mylor, so not to be missed.

What are Residents' Associations For? Part Two
This week we continue with part two of our two part look into local residents associations and the work they do for the community. Di van Eck is back to tell us all about what's happening in the Mount Barker & Districts Residents Association. As always, the budget is a big issue, and moves are underway to help the community better understand and even influence how rates are set and what they're spent on. And why are the rates in our local councils so much higher than in the old established council areas down town? What happens when a council election candidate goes back on their promises? Next up I have a friendly chat with Leif Brown, who is the new president of the Nairne and Districts Residents Association. As that's a role I myself held until just recently it was an opportunity for Leif and I to touch base and find out where we agree on the NDRA and its role in the community. Again the conversation goes far and wide, covering everything from movie nights to politics, with a bit of family history in between.

What are Residents' Associations for? Part One
Residents' Associations. They're everywhere across the Adelaide Hills, and they're there for you. They bring new ideas, advocate for change - or sometimes for good things to be retained. They can be your voice at local and state government levels. With so much to talk about, it's no wonder that my chat with Di van Eck from the Mt Barker & District Residents' Association Inc went for quite a while. This week What the Hills presents the first of a two part episode, focusing on our local residents associations. We start by meeting Di and finding out about her childhood in Littlehampton. Soon we're talking about how times have changed, and the lifestyles of today's kids are very different from what Di and I both experienced as kids growing up in the Adelaide Hills. How much of that change can be attributed to technology, and how much is the result of the lifestyle big developers create for us? We move on to the story of how Di became a member of the Mount Barker Residents' association, and instantly became an activist. Things have changed a little since those times, but she's still working to bring about a place where the needs of the community are met. Finally, Di talks about the proposed new Town square for Mount Barker, and how the idea for the project sprang from a discarded music video. Di is a very interesting speaker, and it was great to catch up with her about the importance of residents associations and the town square project.

What's the BEST thing you've ever done?
Sometimes it's nice to just sit down and have a chat with someone and find out a little bit about them and the life they've led. This week, that's exactly what I'm doing as I catch up with local Bruce Tonkin. After and interesting youth, Bruce found himself part of the Adelaide Hills community, and was soon helping to coach his son's primary school soccer team. From there, things escalated just a little bit, and he was soon traveling to overseas football tournaments, starting his own league, and getting involved in junior soccer at a region and state level. Join me as Bruce covers topics from the value of international student exchanges, to the lights of our new sports hub, and the best thing he's ever done in his life.

What Are They Up to Now?

What Are They Up to Now?
Just over twelve months ago, the world was a different place for a lot of us. Australia had just experienced a nationwide shutdown. We were grappling with the idea of Covid, and wondering what it meant for us. And What The Hills had just become the newest locally produced podcast in the Adelaide Hills. I wanted to explore what effect the shutdown was having on local businesses, so I caught up with four small business owners to find out how they were doing. At the time they were overwhelmingly grateful to be still in operation. They had relied heavily on payments like Job Keeper to stay afloat, and they had changed the way they were doing things. Shail who runs a restaurant in Hahndorf had moved to a mostly take-away business model temporarily, and was taking the opportunity to do some renovations to his building. Lyn at the Hahndorf knife shop had enforced very strict rules about how many people could enter her tiny shop. She was worried about family members who were at risk, but was bravely battling on. Steve had taken his sweets shop online, and was quietly hopeful that interstate sales would keep them afloat for a few months longer. Kerri had gone out on a limb and extended her yoga practice from a private one woman show to a whole new studio in Mount Barker. A year on, I caught up with Steve and Kerri to see how they're travelling now. I can tell you that Shail's restaurant and Lyn's knife shop are still going strong, but they weren't available for a chat this time around.

What the Hills meets Sleat
The city of Glasgow, where today's guest grew up, is known worldwide for its music scene, and the huge number of acts it's nurtured over many decades. It's a hotspot for pretty much any style of music you can imagine, and a mecca for live performances. It was in this environment where David Grant first experienced music. With two musical parents and the obligatory music and piano lessons as a kid, it's no surprise that he was performing in a band by the time he was fifteen. Decades later, and on the other side of the world, David is still making music, this time with his new project, Sleat. This week we have a special treat. David has given permission for his two new tracks to be played not just on the radio, but also on the podcast, so sit back and listen to my chat with David and some great music. And a little note from David... Hey Kimberley, Important that we play Sugarcoated given that it's the reason for the interview :) I currently am not signed to a record company and I own the copyright to both "Sugarcoated" and "Ships". Should these circumstances change, I will advise. I am principal writer of the music. Libby Wells is the lyricist and vocalist. The performers are myself, Libby Wells and Justin Shepherd. I have CC'd them here for their info and your peace of mind Regards, David

What a LOUD Fundraiser!

What a LOUD Fundraiser!
I keep an eye out on social media to stay up to date with what's happening in the local area. Last week I saw a post saying that a high school band was going to be playing a fundraiser at the local hardware store. They were after people to turn up and take some pics for them. So on Saturday I grabbed my camera and headed over, not knowing what to expect. What I found was two young guys playing their hearts out. They had a small collection of friends in the audience, listening and looking after their video recording, and a whole lot of people dropping donations in their bucket as they went in and out of the store. It didn't seem to matter whether people liked the music or not. They were happy to support a good cause, and encourage these young guys doing something they were obviously enjoying. After the gig I caught up with Hayden and Jackson to talk about their music and their inspiration for running a fundraiser for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. They had a lot to say about their dedication to music, the rock star lifestyle, and their plans for the future.

What Just Happened?

What Just Happened?
This week on what the Hills, we're asking the question What Just Happened???? we're doing things a little bit differently. After the recent SA Community Broadcasters Association awards night, I thought it would be a good idea to catch up with the guys from the Huddle, Lofty Radio's Wednesday night sports program. They won the award for best sports program, and I won the award for best interview. In addition Lofty Radio had two runners up - Harry in the youth volunteer section, and Jimmy the K for best program. Despite my best intentions, any time spent with Jeff, Ben & Rob from the Huddle could go wildly off plan in seconds, and it did, right from the start. Throw in Lisa singing in the next studio and Rob's very noisy tummy rumbles, and you have a recipe for mayhem. This week's episode is presented With apologies to Jodie, fairies, Lisa, smallgoods manufacturers, tennis players, Andrew, Betty the Australian Lions Hearing Dog, my mum, Ben's mum, the entire town of Nairne, Julie, blind kids everywhere, deaf tenpin bowlers, and my microphones, whose lives were not actually threatened at any time, no matter what you hear during the interview.

What a Testing time!

What a Testing time!
No matter how hard I try to keep it out, Covid has managed to make its way into every single episode of What The Hills. It's cancelled events, interrupted business, stopped sport, and changed the way we do things every day. It's also helped authors, artists and musicians to lock themselves away and be creative. We've learned to pivot, and in most cases that's not such a bad thing. But I have to admit, I'm kind of tired of Covid popping up in every conversation I have. So it's time I give Covid its very own episode. For the past 18 months or so, Covid testing has been an essential tool for us to monitor and manage this pandemic. Keeping up with the ongoing and sometimes enormous demand for testing is a huge task, which has seen an amazing response by our pathologists and the people who support them. Charlie Robertson is the Engagement Lead at Clinpath - a South Australian business which has been an integral part of our state's Covid response. She has a unique insight to the pandemic and how we're coping with it. Along the way we'll find out why a Sunday roast can be an essential part of family life, and we delve into Charlie's husband's sock drawer, because that's a thing now too.

Bilby Award Winning Interview

Bilby Award Winning Interview
I was very honoured and excited to be awarded the Bilby for Best Interview at this year's SA Community Broadcasters Association Awards. It's really special when a guest opens up and shares their story, and I was lucky enough to be the one there with the microphone. My guest for this interview was Jodie Turpin, from the Lobethal Bushfire Recovery Centre. Jodie was nominated for, and won the Westfield Local Heroes award in 2020 for her work immediately following the 2019 bushfires, and in the many months after. While the full interview covered a great deal concerning Jodie’s voluntary work, this five minute excerpt concentrates on her experiences at the time of the fire, and the community’s response. The bushfires of December 2019 had an enormous impact on the local community. By the time the interview was conducted in September 2020 recovery was well underway, but there was still a long way to go. At the same time, we were heading into the next fire season with a great deal of trepidation. Jodie’s story is just one of hundreds, about the devastation of the fires and the amazing response from the community. Everyone in the area has lifelong memories of bushfire, whether the 2019 fires or those which have happened in the past. Jodie was able to talk about not only the amazing work she did during the recovery, but her own very close encounter with the fire. She also speaks in a very heartfelt way about her grief and guilt at surviving with her home and family intact. It’s a very emotional point when both Jodie and Kimberley are momentarily unable to continue with the interview as they contemplate the effect that fire has had on both them and their community. Thise episode had a huge amount of feedback from listeners. “Wow that awesome, I had lots of msgs also when I shared the last link. It was a very touching interview, I had emotions come out for the first time since that devastating day. It means a lot that you took the time out to want to hear my story and experiences during the devastating fires.” Jodie Turpin, Lobethal Bushfire Recovery “If you can get me to listen to every word on a chat show..... I don’t normally stay in the zone when it comes to blah blah blah, but you and your guests are so interesting, you have my full attention. Loving it! But you made me cry so much. I just finished putting my eye liner on too and now have to start again!” Lofty Listener

What does it take to create a great picture book?
Today on What The Hills we're asking the question "what does it take to create a great picture book?" Mandy Foot has an amazing artistic talent, so it isn't surprising that she found herself studying design and illustration at university. She eventually found herself illustrating children's picture books, and loving it. Her strong empathy with animals led her to create art starring some of her favourite animals along the way. But then, Mandy wanted more. Today on What The Hills, Mandy shares the story of how she ended up writing her own picture books, via a long and interesting journey which could be a book in its own right, complete with sudden twists, travel, and even real live dragons.

What can we do about Dementia Care?
This week on What The Hills we have a must-listen interview for anyone who needs to know about care for people with dementia. It's often a difficult subject, but today's guest knows her way around it, and is here to share some ideas about how we can personalise dementia care, and improve quality of life for everyone involved. Jenny Slape was comfortable in her career as a chaplain, working in aged care facilities. She loved her work and felt that she was filling an important role for people in care, their families, and staff. But then she wanted to do more, so she headed to university, and before she knew it, she had completed a PhD. With the help of an Adelaide Hills publisher, Jenny turned her PhD into a book which discusses how care for those with dementia can be personalised, and provide for the very best life for some of our most vulnerable people. I sat down to talk with Jenny about her studies, dementia, and how she came to write a book that can help everyone involved in aged and dementia care.

What's Stephen's Story?
Today on What The Hills we're doing something a little different. Usually I talk to the movers and shakers, people who have a message to share about something interesting that's happening around the Adelaide Hills. But this week, I'm having a casual chat with a friend of mine. Stephen Lucas is a school bus driver, photographer, carer, and a man with an interesting life. And We're asking the question: "What's Stephen's Story?" Sometimes we think that we know where life is going to take us, but quite often we're surprised to find that our plans aren't quite panning out how we expected them to. As a child, Stephen's life seemed fairly simple and uneventful. His biggest problem was the fact that he was a kid and both of his parents were school teachers. Then tragedy struck and Stephen's life took a different turn. Later on a lifelong interest got him his dream job in a way that he never thought possible. Through all of his challenges Stephen has persevered, dealing with whatever life throws at him. I boarded is bus for a chat about his life and some of the events which shaped it. If you'd like to be our next special guest on What The Hills, I'd love to hear from you.

I was so excited when Toxic Cherries players Black Belt-her, Whammi and Smash Effect dropped in to talk about their sport, and some come & try sessions coming up soon.

What's National Volunteer Week all about?
National Volunteer Week is a time to celebrate our many volunteers and all the things they do for our communities. If you live in the Adelaide Hills it's likely that you're a volunteer. You may also benefit from the work done by volunteers, without even knowing. Do you sit in with your kid's class and help with reading, or take your turn on the sports club barbecue? Do you get roped in to score your friend's basketball game or help out at the annual Christmas pageant? You, my friend, are a volunteer. Listen in for details of how you can get free movie tickets this week, and a volunteer opportunity for you right now.
