Crafting for a crisis he Ranges Rescue group is doing its bit to say ‘thank you’ to medical professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier this year, group members knitted up a storm and created pouches for animals injured or orphaned in the horriic bushires. Now, they have turned their attention to designing and sewing scrub hats for medical professionals working on the front line. Group founder Kate Nabarro said more than 60 hats have already been made and will be sent to the Royal Melbourne Hospital for distribution. “I personally know people in this ield and they have put everything on the line to do what they need to do,” she said. “I want to try and turn this into a wartime efort. People used to sew bandages for the army. What we are going to do is become a group that is crating for a crisis, which can help with these kinds of situations, whether they are here or anywhere around the world.” Ms Nabarro will also arrange a small care package to be sent of with the scrub hats as her way of saying ’thank you’. Ms Nabarro is hoping her creations bring a “little bit of joy” in a tough and uncertain situation. Jessica Micallef

Visitors lout group ban By Jessica Micallef Macedon Ranges council has urged visitors to stay away from tourist hotspots across the region ater “hundreds” of people visited the shire’s autumn leaves displays. Last week, police closed the road to the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross at the corner of Cameron Drive and Mount Macedon Road ater visitors ignored government recommendations to stay home, and visited Macedon’s Avenue of Honour and nearby gardens and parks. Large electronic signs have since been
installed on the Calder Freeway and local roads, urging visitors to avoid the area. Traic management staf are in place near the Avenue of Honour and Centennial Park to ensure traic lows eiciently through the area. Free buses, which normally run during the autumn showing, will not be in service. he closures and warnings come ater the council closed popular tourist attraction Hanging Rock, including the site’s cafe, discovery centre and carpark, last month. Victoria Police has informed the council that regular patrols will take place to ensure visitors
and locals are not gathering in groups in public areas around Macedon and Mount Macedon. Police will issue on-the-spot ines to individuals and businesses who do not follow containment measures. he council’s chief executive Margot Stork said she was disappointed visitors locked to the area despite warnings to stay away. “We are all for people getting some fresh air and exercise,” she said. “But there is no need for tourists to travel long distances to the area to do so. “Normally we welcome visitors but with
the current [COVID-19] pandemic, it is not appropriate. “he health and wellbeing of the community is the main priority at this time. We want everyone to be safe. “he Avenue of Honour is a VicRoads -managed road so the council cannot close it to vehicle and foot traic, however we can and will be discouraging visitors during this time. “People should rethink their plans and look to visit when the current pandemic is over.” To stay up to date with service changes and closures, visit mrsc.vic.gov.au/coronavirus

Virus cases continue to rise By Jessica Micallef he number of coronavirus cases across Hume and Macedon has increased to 34 across the two municipalities. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, there were 29 cases in Hume as of hursday. Across the Macedon Ranges, there were ive cases. Across the state, more than 1000 conirmed cases have been recorded. Five people in Victoria have died from the virus, while 57 cases of the virus may have been acquired
through community transmission. More than 49,000 tests have been conducted. he harsh rise in cases prompted the state government to enforce stage three retrictions on March 30. Under the new restrictions, gatherings of more than two people are banned, except for members of your immediate household and for work or education purposes. Premier Daniel Andrews said there are only four valid reasons for Victorians to leave their home: for food and supplies, medical care, exercise and work or education.
People aged over 60, who have existing health conditions, and people aged over 70 are urged to remain home and self-isolate. Indigenous Australians aged over 50 who have existing health conditions are also advised to self-isolate at home. All people arriving from any international destination must also self-isolate for 14 days. All travellers returning from overseas to Victoria are being placed in enforced quarantine in Melbourne hotels for 14 days. Skate parks, playgrounds and outside gyms have also closed. Bootcamps have been reduced
to two people, including the trainer. People who don’t comply with the new restrictions will face an on-the-spot ine of $1652 for individuals and $9913 for businesses. Victoria’s chief health medical oicer, Professor Brett Sutton said the threat of COVID-19 to the public was real and everyone needed to take social distancing seriously. “Our message is clear – if you can stay home, you must stay home,” he said. “Social distancing will save lives. Everyone needs to comply with restrictions in place to keep yourself, your loved ones and the whole community safe.”
Sunshine for dark days “I’d hope to just bring happiness and also just make them feel valued as part of the community.” Ms Vigo has gathered lowers grown in her own garden, sunlowers from Australian growers and loral donations from locals to create the bouquets. “If I have some [bouquets] let over from the generous donations, I was thinking of donating them to the medical centres across the Macedon area,” she said. Ms Vigo has been a lorist since she was 16-years-old. “I’ve been given a git, which I am very lucky,” she said. “I love how it [lowers] makes people feel better or comforts them in times of need. I also love the fact that it brings back really nice memories for people, like a certain perfume.” To donate lowers, contact Ms Vigo on 0421 496 050 or info@scentlorist.com.au Jessica Micallef

A Gisborne lorist is sending her love to aged care residents through bouquets of lowers. Scent Florist owner Brooke Vigo is making beautiful bouquets and sending them to residents at Warrina Aged Care and Gisborne Oaks Residential Aged Care. Ms Vigo is hoping the lowers will bring a smile to residents’ faces during these tough and uncertain times. “I ind that a lot of the older generation really appreciate lowers because they used to grow a lot of their own lowers … they would really value roses and hydrangeas,” she said. Aged care facilities have restricted visitor policies or are in lockdown as the county battles to control the COVID-19 pandemic. “he fact that the families aren’t really allowed to see them [residents] – that was my biggest concern for them as well,” Ms Vigo said. “I just want to let them know that even though they are in there, they are never forgotten.

Teen charged
Cheering from afar A local dance and cheerleading school is calling on its students to tap into their creative sides. Students at Signature Cheer and Dance Macedon Ranges have been provided with challenges and creative themes to draw while at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Principal Amy Citroen said the activities were a great way to entertain children during this challenging time. “Most of our students have no school, no dancing, no cheerleading, no other sports,� she said. “We are going to try and encourage them to do diferent things. We want them to do something and then show it of to the wider community as they explore all the diferent challenges we are getting them to do.� Last week, students drew to the theme of
‘over the rainbow’ and ‘animals’. “hey are putting them [drawings] on their windows,� Ms Citroen said. “When I went walking with my girls around our little neighbourhood here in New Gisborne, there were other people with rainbows and other things up on their windows, which is good to see. I know some of the kids have been doing a bear hunt as well.� While the students are no longer attending dance or cheerleading classes due to the virus, students have created videos of their own dance or cheer routine which will be edited into one video and sent out to students. “We are just trying to keep everyone entertained.�
A 14-year-old boy was charged last month after Gisborne police responded to a triple-0 call regarding an armed robbery at Sankey Reserve, Station Street, Gisborne. The teen was charged with armed robbery and weapons offences. He has been remanded in custody and will appear at the Bendigo Magistrates Court at a later date.

Health facilities in lockdown By Jessica Micallef Patients and residents at Central Highlands Rural Health facilities are no longer allowed visitors in order to combat the spread of COVID-19. Hospitals, including Kyneton District Health, Daylesford Hospital, Creswick Acute Hospital and aged care facilities in Trentham, Daylesford and Creswick were put in lockdown last month in response to coronavirus. Only rostered staf will be permitted to enter a Central Highlands Rural Health facility and
upon entry will be screened for symptoms and any risk of having COVID-19. Visitors or family members will only be permitted to enter a facility under “exceptional” circumstances or where the patient or resident is receiving end of life care. Central Highlands Rural Health chief executive Maree Cuddihy said the decision to lock down their facilities was to protect everyone in their care. “It’s been a tough couple of weeks,” she said. “We know this is hard, particularly in a time when our patients probably need a friendly face
and hug. We also know how important it is for our patients to continue to connect with their family and friends. “We are working hard to set up video calls. his will keep families up to speed with the health and wellbeing of our patients but at a safe distance. “Everyone … is doing an amazing job pulling together and adapting.” She said hospital and aged care staf will continue to communicate with family members about the health and wellbeing of patients and residents.
Patients and residents are free to move anywhere within the perimeter of the facility they are in, including the garden, if well enough to do so. Medical specialists are still able to visit patients, but will follow Central Highlands Rural Health’s screening procedure. For aged care residents, essential medical appointments at external services may continue, however the resident must self-isolate for 14 days upon their return. Ms Cuddihy said all facilities have the technology to facilitate video calls for patients and residents.
Anzac Day vigil at home he traditional Anzac Day dawn service at the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross has been cancelled, but locals are being encouraged not to ignore the day. Public gatherings and events have been banned in an attempt to slow the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing the Mount Macedon Anzac Day Dawn Service committee to cancel the service. Committee chair Bruce Mildenhall said it was a diicult and disappointing decision. “It was with a very heavy heart that we realised we wouldn’t be able to proceed,” he said. “We spend six months organising a script and all the readers and work with the schools. “It’s a fairly disappointing and distressing time for the committee. It’s a group of half a dozen dedicated people who have one aim, to put on a memorable service, and to not be able to do that gives you that empty feeling.” Mr Mildenhall is encouraging Macedon
Ranges residents to tune in to a live broadcast from the Shrine of Remembrance on April 25. “here will be a service but it’ll be closed to the public,” he said. “here is also a call-out to people who would like to commemorate the day by standing in their driveways at 6am on Anzac Day … with a candle for a minute of silence. “It’s growing in popularity as an idea via social media. It would be great to see residents in our area who would like to physically commemorate the day and do something a bit more than watching the TV.” Mr Mildenhall has asked residents to “reconnect with some of the things that make our community special ater this pandemic passes”. “Ceremonies like Anzac Day are just so important to everyday life and you don’t realise that until they are missing,” he said.

Virus won’t disrupt water supply By Jessica Micallef Coliban Water is reassuring customers its water quality and supply will not be disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Managing director Damian Wells said there was no evidence that coronavirus is spread by drinking water. “he current evidence is that the coronavirus is transmitted from person-to-person contact, with droplets from an infected person’s cough or sneeze, or touching objects or surfaces and then touching your mouth or face,” he said.
“Existing water treatment and disinfection processes, including use of chlorine, are efective in removing viruses from water supplies.” he company’s customer service centre and reception at 37 Bridge Street, Bendigo is closed until further notice. Mr Wells said Coliban Water’s Pandemic and Emergency Response Plans have been enacted and an incident team is working to ensure the maintenance of supply, service and quality is of a high standard. “Our team is still able to support and assist customers by our … phone line, email or our
website,” he said. “here will be changes to how our business operates internally, with many staf working from home and rostering in place to support key network operations. “But we are still well equipped to continue running business as usual. “We want to reassure our customers that we are prepared to face the challenges of the coronavirus and will continue to supply safe drinking water, sewer services and customer services throughout this time.” Coliban Water will continue to work with the information provided by the Water
Services Association of Australia, Victoria’s Department of Health and Human Services, the federal government’s Department of Health, the World Health Organisation and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. “We are prepared for this outbreak, including having arrangements in place for potential supply-chain impacts such as the supply of chemicals, parts and equipment,” Mr Wells said.

Challenges of distancing By Tate Papworth Prolonged periods of isolation may curb the spread of COVID-19, but it could also cause numerous mental health issues, according to an experienced psychologist. Sam Weily, a psychologist with TeleHAP, says there’s many layers to the current crisis, which could lead to numerous mental health issues. “It’s a real concern. he main thing being at this stage there’s so much uncertainty about how long it will continue for, so it’s hard to make short-term adjustment,” Mr Weily said. “here’s also so many layers to this – people start worrying about their health, their job, whether their home is secure … it’s all downward pressure which creates a ‘what if’ mentality which is a major component of anxiety.” He said when coupled with prolonged isolation, the problems can exacerbate. “Isolation makes it harder to contact people socially. If you’re going through something like losing your job, or someone you love gets sick, but you’re unable to contact people in the manner you usually would, it creates a greater feeling of anxiety and a sense hopelessness. “his reduction in coping strategies can lead to depression, eating disorders and instances of domestic violence.” While there’s plenty of grim news around, Mr Weily said there are ways to cope. “One way is to reduce your exposure to anxiety triggers, which could be anything from how much news you’re watching, your

diet and implementing a routine. “Anxiety is a future oriented condition, so it’s important to try reign that in. Instead of thinking too long-term, focus on what you can manage and control. “For example exercise, implementing a routine, gardening, short walk or utilising whatever socials are available … call people for a chat. “It’s also important to be aware of professional services available. “If things get to a stage where they are impacting your day-to-day … a real lack of sleep, no appetite, low frustration, tolerance, it may be worth reaching out for help. “here’s many great support services like Beyond Blue who have set up a virus support line.”
Home work on the rise With most of the state now working from home, demand for home improvement and DIY materials has never been higher. Bunnings stores across the west have found more people looking to take on a new task around the home or learn a new skill. Bunnings managing director Mike Schneider said the tasks were not only a good practical measure, but also helped people with their mental wellbeing during times of social isolation. “We’ve seen increased demand for necessary products that customers need to maintain their homes and we are focused on making sure we can make these items available,” Mr Schneider said. “We understand the importance that a
reliable supply of key products is to both DIY and trade customers.” Bunnings horticulturist Katy Schreuder also said more people had taken to growing their own food. “We’ve seen an increase in popularity of seedlings and we are working with our suppliers to increase supply and replenish our seedling stocks,” Ms Schreuder said. Bunnings is giving tradies, health and emergency services workers exclusive access to its stores before 9am on weekdays. Stores are also closing earlier to allow staf to re-stock shelves and conduct thorough cleaning.

Help us do our part in keeping our community informed and closer together during these difficult times.
Coronavirus care within community is circular The team at Terry White Chemmart in Sunbury has joined with other local businesses in stepping up to the challenge of ‘beating the virus’. The pharmacy has introduced new measures to counteract the anxiety and possible isolation of people affected by COVID-19. Pharmacists are also administering lu vaccinations to people aged 10 years and up, a measure to be taken right now – as recommended by Australia’s health department – in order to reduce the risk of co-infection. No appointment is required, but you can book one online if that better suits. Head pharmacist Chris te Wierik, says they are doing everything possible to look after and protect Tish Gort, Chris te Wierik, Mary Pernes and Grant their staff, as well as look after their patients’ health during the coronavirus pandemic. Terry White’s app is a great one to download “I’m sure our customers will understand that any time, but especially in these times of we ask they not come into the store if they’re uncertainty.

and book a delivery if that’s the need.” GUILD Australia has advised that pharmacists can now sign scripts on their patients’ behalf. “This is to limit contact, so customers can let us know if they’re happy for this to happen.” Terry White Chemmart has been a source of care in the community for more than 30 years, and now it’s looking to customers to reciprocate with kindness and patience during a really busy time. “We are doing our best to serve everyone, but we may have longer-than-normal wait times
throughout the day and night. That’s why we particularly ask that scripts are iled – it cuts down waiting queues by making everything quicker. “And respect for each other is essential when waiting times seem long; none of us wants to be at the receiving end of any type of abuse.

Prefab homes go upmarket It’s not that there’s anything terribly novel about prefabricated houses. A yurt is a prefab, or transposable dwelling, that can be quickly reassembled. And during the gold rush, Melbourne was the prefab capital of the world, with thousands of lat-packed, fast-build cottages imported in the early 1850s. More contemporary prefab variations have been available for a couple of decades, which now has many savvy Australian companies operating in a market niche estimated to make up 2 to 4 per cent of new home constructions. The factory-built components that can be delivered to site where they can be completed to lock-up sometimes in a matter of days, come in two forms: as fully itted modular units that can be bolted together into variable loor plans; or as lat-pack panels with all the requisite plumbing, wiring and insulation already integrated. No longer do prefabs look like conjoined containers that quite literally came off the back of a truck. As Craig Chatman, registered architect, builder and founder of the Melbourne outit ARKit agrees, modular and panel-building systems are becoming so sophisticated, responsive to client needs, and
Romsey
lexible in the way they can be shaped up that “from the street you won’t know that it’s a building that’s been manufactured off site”. “Embellished prefabs” is what Chatman calls the new generation modular housing ARKit, established eight years ago, now employs 40 people – including eight full-time architects – in its Sunshine factory. It has seen an annual doubling of business, with much of the demand coming from Melbourne’s inner north and the west. “Footscray, Newport and Williamstown have become hot spots for us,” Chatman says. A University of Melbourne study predicts that within a decade, Australia’s modular-building sector could command a 15 per cent slice of the construction industry. Chatman believes the reason for this will come down to one word: certainty. “For between $400,000 and $1.2 million, we can deliver on a tight schedule, which means that clients aren’t put through the wringer in terms of conventional building costs, nor be sloshing around a muddy paddock for 12 months”. This is an edited version of a story by Jenny Brown on domain.com.au
