Poster child for success The Steve Irwin ship at Williamstown has temporarily closed due to COVID-19, but people are being invited to be part its history. During its closure, the ship’s onboard museum will be expanded to highlight Sea Shepherd’s direct action campaigns. Members of the public are being invited to sign their name to a campaign poster for printing and framing in the ship’s new campaign room, to be unveiled when the vessel reopens. Sea Shepherd’s decommissioned lagship vessel was involved in 17 campaigns, most recently helping stop the last attempt to drill in the Great Australian Bight. Williamstown’s Kerrie Goodall, founder of the Ship 4 Good philanthropic organisation that now owns and manages the ship, spearheaded a campaign to “Save the Steve”. She said a new addition would be curated tours of the campaign room and the much-requested engine room. To ind out more about ordering posters, visit the Ship4Good MV Steve Irwin page on Facebook.

Aged care worker positive By Goya Dmytryshchak and Tate Papworth A growing coronavirus cluster at Brooklyn-based Cedar Meats has been linked to infected workers at a Footscray aged care home and Sunshine Hospital. he meat processing plant located in Brimbank had been linked to 77 new COVID-19 cases as of Monday and also accounted for a rise in active cases in several neighbouring municipalities. Maribyrnong had 15 cases, with four active, and Hobsons Bay 18, with three active. he number of cases within Brimbank has

leapt by about 30 in the past fortnight, with 58 now conirmed. here are currently 16 active cases within the municipality, the highest number in the state. Wyndham had 47 cases, including 11 active. It comes as social restrictions in Victoria were eased as of midnight Tuesday night, with up to 10 people now allowed to gather outdoors and up to ive visitors allowed in people’s homes. Premier Daniel Andrews said on Monday that more than 160,000 Victorians have been tested for coronavirus, helping provide a better understanding of the way the virus is moving through the community.

“We’re asking Victorians to limit their circle to just family and friends. hat means that when we do have outbreaks and positive cases – and we will – we can test and trace and efectively contain the spread.” Mr Andrews said bans have also been lited on outdoor recreational activities including ishing, hiking and golf. he new restrictions and a renewed State of Emergency are in place until May 31. Health Minister Jenny Mikakos earlier conirmed an infected worker at Doutta Galla Aged Care in Footscray was “a close contact of a worker at Cedar Meats”. he aged care employee last worked at the

facility on April 26, Doutta Galla Aged Services said in a statement. “here is not an outbreak nor a COVID-19 cluster, and no resident or staf are showing signs of infection,” Doutta Galla said. Western Health chief executive Russell Harrison conirmed the positive test of a Sunshine Hospital staf member on Wednesday. “Unfortunately one of the Western Health staf members in self-quarantine following exposure to a patient who was later diagnosed with COVID-19, has since tested positive for the virus,” he said. “Western Health is providing all the necessary supports for the staf member.”

Works are expected to take seven weeks and will include repairing and replacing piles under the pier. Williamstown MP Melissa Horne said Gem Pier was one of the most highly used in Port Phillip.

“We’re securing the long-term future of Gem Pier so boaters, commercial ferries and the community can continue to use it for years to come,” she said. “his work is part of our plan to improve port assets and boating facilities across Port Phillip and Western Port.” Contractors are following advice from the

chief health oicer to be able to work during the coronavirus outbreak. Safety measures include increased hygiene requirements, physical distancing protocols and staggered workforce arrangements. he pier will be closed to the public with fencing and signage in place, but the lower landing will continue to be open to service

commercial ferries operating between Williamstown and the city and St Kilda. Divers have completed the irst stage of the project, wrapping several piles in marine-grade material to strengthen and protect them. he second stage will replace piles on the east side. Goya Dmytryshchak

Tunnel noise a ‘health hazard’ By Goya Dmytryshchak Residents along the Westgate Tunnel corridor have been relocated to Quest apartments due to noise from hydroblasting works. Some households have been loaned “white noise machines” in a bid to drown out night works described as sounding like “metal scraping on metal”. Star Weekly has seen correspondence between multiple residents and the West Gate Tunnel Project (WGTP), with some complainants stating they were undergoing counselling due to the noise afecting their mental health. South Kingsville resident Julie Richards has been relocated twice in the past month to Quest apartments at Williamstown North. In correspondence to the WGTP, Ms Richards stated the sleep disturbance could have serious consequences for her partner whose work involved implementing stage three restrictions under the COVID-19 state of emergency. “Lack of sleep can lead to serious consequences and likelihood of accidents given she operates machinery,” Ms Richards stated. “I also work local laws and regulatory/ legislation matters so need to be alert.” In another email to the WGTP on Tuesday last week, Ms Richards stated: “I again report the works last night as loud enough that they are disrupting my sleep and afecting my mental health, in this already stressful time. I’m attending counselling tomorrow to deal with this disruption to my life.” A WGTP representative replied that “my colleague will leave a white noise machine on your door step within the hour”. “You’ve got to be kidding, that I’m going to sleep with that and that’s going to be any better,” Ms Richards said. he WGTP has scaled back works from going overnight to inishing at midnight. However, Ms Richards said they should be inished earlier, particularly as traic was down because of more people staying home. A WGTP spokesperson said a number of households had taken up “respite options”. he spokesperson said works could not be fully completed during the day, as much of the freeway and freight railway lane below needed to be closed.

Resident wants long-term solution A Spotswood mother of two toddlers is among multiple residents along the Westgate Tunnel corridor who have been given hotel accommodation because of noise. Carla Frost was previously relocated by the West Gate Tunnel Project into Quest apartments but is currently at home. “Previously, there was probably about 10 metres between us and the freeway wall,” she said. “Now, because they’ve widened the freeway, they’ve moved the wall within a metre of our boundary. “We’ve experienced, since the project began

really, constant noise and disruption at all hours of the day and night. “I’ve got two young kids – a one year old and a two year old. All of our sleep has been severely afected by it, and my own mental health has been diicult because of it.” Ms Frost said her family could feel the vibrations and the house had “clearly moved”. She said it was a “big disruption” to go into temporary hotel accommodation with two young girls. “We’ve been pushing for relocation and not just this couple of nights here and there,” she

said. “I want long-term relocation while the project is going on and somewhere that’s stable and good for my own mental health, too. “On a bigger scale, we’re pushing for the state government to voluntarily purchase [our] properties. “We’re never going to be able to sell it, we’re never going to able to rent it. “It wouldn’t even feel right to rent it to someone at the moment. It’s a horrible environment to move into.” Goya Dmytryshchak

Illegal rubbish dumping spikes By Goya Dmytryshchak Bin contamination and illegal rubbish dumping have spiked in Maribyrnong following COVID-19 restrictions. Maribyrnong council is advising residents not to leave home to donate goods during the pandemic, “with recycling and charity bins being overwhelmed by dumped waste”. “Leaving your home to recycle and donate items is not deemed ‘essential’, and residents are advised to hold on to these items until restrictions are lited,” the council said in a

written statement. “Please also remember to sort your waste and use your bins correctly. If your bin is found to be contaminated, it will not be collected by the truck until the contaminants are removed.” Infrastructure services director Steve Hamilton said the municipality accepted all plastic codes except No. 6 in kerbside recycling. “Recycling collected in the city of Maribyrnong is processed by VISY, which accepts all rigid plastic containers except expanded polystyrene,” he said. “Hard plastic items which have the codes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7

can be recycled in kerbside recycling bins. “Code 6 plastic items, which oten come in packing boxes like TVs or equipment, cannot be recycled in kerbside bins.” It comes as Hobsons Bay council announced it would accept three out of seven plastic codes in kerbside recycling bins. “I do think it has been an honest and eye-opening process for people to now have full transparency on which plastics can truly be recycled and re-processed locally in Melbourne,” Hobsons Bay mayor Colleen Gates said. “I am not currently aware of any

local manufacturer who is reprocessing plastic codes 3, 6 or 7.” On April 1, Hobsons Bay introduced an interim rubbish drop-of service “to support households that may generate higher volumes of household waste due to working from home or self isolating”. “Hobsons Bay City Council sought advice from the state government, and the Chief Medical Oicer has conirmed, that council waste drop-ofs (including the Hobsons Bay interim drop-of) are deemed an essential service in the current state of emergency,” a council spokesperson said.

More plastics recycled now have full transparency on which plastics can truly be recycled and re-processed locally in Melbourne,” she said. “For years, we’ve all just thrown anything ‘plastic’ into our yellow bins and assumed it was being recycled, with our previous contractor unable to provide clarity on what actually happened to our recycling waste. “When we launched Recycling 2.0 and our partnership with local contractor APR, we committed that we would only take products in the yellow bin that have genuine local recycling outcomes. “We also committed that we were working with APR to continue to identify more local markets to increase the plastics that we can accept over time.” Plastic code 1, such as bottles, will be recycled into new bottles, while code 2 containers will be remade into bollards, pallets, fence or barrier railing and decking board.

Hobsons Bay council will now accept three out of seven plastic codes in kerbside recycling bins, under what it says is an honest and transparent system on what can truly be recycled. Plastics with the number 5 inside the triangular recycling symbol are now being collected, in addition to codes 1 and 2. It has been made possible ater the council partnered with Australian Paper Recovery to secure an end market for plastic code 5, which may include ice cream, margarine and yoghurt containers. he plastic will be remade into food-grade containers and casing around electric cabling.

We need to do the testing. Australia must not fall asleep at the wheel

’’

- Mukesh Haikerwal

Victoria’s state of emergency has been extended to May 11 to help continue to contain the spread of COVID-19. At Altona North, Dr Mukesh Haikerwal and partners run the Blackshaws Road pop-up clinic which was assembled from portables and tents over 10 days. Dr Haikerwal said the respiratory clinic enabled treatment of multiple patients with breathing conditions, including COVID-19, who were unable to be seen in a normal GP practice. Tests can be conducted without a change of personal protective gowns and masks, or shutting down and deep cleaning rooms between patients. he clinic had been the irst in Victoria to start swabbing people for coronavirus in the carpark until it ran out of gear. “here were no masks and then there were no gowns and then there were no swabs, so we had to do something diferent,” Dr Haikerwal said. “What we are doing now is … 50 or 60 tests

with only one or two sets of gowns, one set of masks, and all you’re changing is your gloves.” Dr Haikerwal said more coronavirus cases were expected to be detected as testing restrictions were relaxed. “here’s more people now who are eligible for the test so there’s more coming forward to be

tested,” he said. “When this whole thing started, the joke was Indonesia is the safest place in the world to be because they weren’t reporting any cases, but they weren’t testing anybody. “And of course, Bali was one of the earliest places that shut down ater China.

“hat’s why we need to do the testing. “Australia must not fall asleep at the wheel or rest on its dubious laurels but look to the disaster in Europe and the USA and invest in the health of the nation and our people. “Dropping the ball on health will be catastrophic.”

Clinic gives parents hope

NEWS

5G comes to the west

By Goya Dmytryshchak West Footscray’s Sharon and Chris Reay have shared their experience of heartbreak and hope in a bid to help others at high risk of losing their baby. he pair share a healthy 18-month-old daughter Ellie, who was delivered at 37 weeks at a clinic at Frances Perry House. Hailed as the irst of its kind in Melbourne’s private sector, the clinic helps women who have experienced a stillbirth or loss of an unborn child or who are at high risk of having a preterm delivery. Ms Reay credits the clinic’s Preterm Birth and Pregnancy Loss Group, run by obstetricians Scott Shemer and Mark Umstad, for giving her the “greatest git” – the birth of her daughter. Ms Reay had her irst pregnancy soon ater getting married. When due for her 20-week scan, some bleeding occurred. She said she rang and subsequently visited her GP, and was told to proceed with the scan. “We came back home and I just told my husband that I’m not feeling right about this, so called the hospital,” Ms Reay said. “Within probably 10 minutes of us being there [at the hospital], my waters broke.” Ms Reay sufered a condition known as cervical insuiciency, or short cervix. “To this day, I kind of have blanked out that hour of my life,” she said. “hey moved us … to, they call it the Butterly Room, which is where all the babies that they know are not going to survive … all the mums get sent there to have their babies. “My husband and I, we had our baby boy. His name was Oscar.” he couple decided to go through Frances Perry House with their second pregnancy. At her 21-week appointment, Ms Reay was

advised by Dr Shemer to get a cervical stitch. “To this day, I always tell him that he’s given me my greatest git and he’s literally saved Ellie’s life,” she said.

“What Scott and Mark Umstad … are trying to do by promoting this service is actually going to change so many people’s lives and will save so many babies.”

Eligible residents and businesses in Wyndham Vale, Hoppers Crossing, Laverton, Footscray and Maidstone can now access 5G technology through Optus. Head of Optus 5G, Harvey Wright, said that it was important for the company to “provide access to our 5G network in areas where people need it most”. “We … felt that consumers in this area would beneit from the high bandwidth and fast speeds that Optus 5G is able to deliver,” he said. Mr Wright said demand for 5G has increased during the coronavirus pandemic. “We are unable to break down sales igures by region but have seen strong growth in our 5G Home product over the last couple of months, with consumers looking for a fast and reliable internet solution that meets the changing needs of their home internet usage,” he said. To be eligible to connect to 5G, you will need to have a phone capable of connecting to 5G; be connected to a mobile network that ofers 5G; and be in an area where 5G has been rolled out. In January, Australia’s chief medical oicer Professor Brendan Murphy issued a statement which said that 5G technology is safe. “here is no evidence telecommunication technologies, such as 5G, cause adverse health impacts,” he said.

Pictures of an earlier pandemic By Alesha Capone

As the world continues to battle Covid-19, the pandemic has been compared to the Spanish lu outbreak of more than 100 years ago. hat pandemic, which emerged at the end of the First World War in 1918, killed more than 50 million people worldwide. he virus spread around the world as WWI soldiers returned home. In Australia, despite quarantine measures, around 40 per cent of the population fell ill and around 15,000 people died. he irst case of the Spanish lu in Melbourne appeared in January 1919. In the western suburbs, the local newspapers of the time were illed with articles about community eforts to ight the illness and – sadly - many obituaries, as people died. On February 8, 1919, he Independent newspaper reported the Footscray Technical School in Nicholson Street would be used as a hospital. More than 150 beds were purchased and Red Cross workers supplied bedding and other requisites. he city’s health oicer, Dr J. Ramsay Webb, paid a “warm tribute” to Footscray residents for helping to set up the hospital. Another news story said entire families in the Footscray area had come down with the Spanish lu, and “without assistance from their friends and neighbours there is but little hope for them”.

he “ladies of Yarraville” were praised for helping stricken households. In nearby Williamstown, according to an article by he Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, “hotels were closed, trains were deserted and public entertainment cancelled”. On February 16, 1919, the Werribee Shire Banner reported that three cases of the Spanish lu had been recorded by the local health oicer. he Werribee Mechanics Institute was used as an isolation hospital and 400 residents were vaccinated within a week. he article said several events had been cancelled, such as the Werribee Farmers Picnic. he Banner said that church services were to be held outside, and if mass was held indoors due to inclement weather, parishioners were advised to wear facemasks. he Melton Express ran a story about the Shire of Bacchus Marsh’s medical health oicer, John Pollock, who warned that any household which did not report a case of inluenza to the council would face a ine of 20 pounds (£20). A well-known resident of the west who died of the Spanish lu was Lieutenant Louis Edwin Trawin, who lived in Footscray. At the age of 19, he enlisted for WWI and was allocated to the 7th Battalion. He served in Gallipoli and France, and was shot three times. Sadly, Lou died in the Spanish Flu epidemic in April 1919.

When home is no longer home Star Weekly reporter Esther Lauaki had to return to New Zealand for a family emergency. She is now in strict quarantine. his is her story.

Home doesn’t feel like home anywhere any more. I’ve travelled to New Zealand so many times in the past eight years that I could walk the length of Auckland Airport with my eyes closed. But COVID-19 has turned our world upside down and governments implore everyone to “embrace a new normal”. Stay home, save lives. It’s a simple message – but what happens when your dad is in the inal stages of leukaemia and you live overseas? My family in New Zealand was told by doctors on New Year’s day that dad had months to live.

Any plans to make the Trans-Tasman trip home as oten as possible were shut down in March when COVID-19 sent the nation into lockdown and, for the most part, closed Australia’s borders to the world. Travel is reserved for healthcare aid workers, diplomats, “urgent personal business” and compassionate reasons. Living, working and building a future in Australia, like my parents did when they migrated from Samoa to New Zealand, is no easy feat. Doing that while my dad ights a rare and brutal blood cancer is a burden too heavy for me. Leaving Australia last week in the thick of a pandemic required a few calls to the Health and Human Services Department, the New Zealand consulate and the airline, as well as a letter from the hospital stating my dad’s critical condition. Melbourne airport is an empty, dark and cold place now. About 10 border force oicers crowd the check-in desk ensuring everyone has illed out a form agreeing to self-isolate in a government managed hotel for 14 days in New Zealand. Customs oicers are relaxed, discussing their favourite pork recipes while processing just 40 passengers for the day. Duty Free and the retail stores are all closed and only the sound of suitcase wheels on linoleum and murmurs in the distance echo

are hidden behind surgical masks, there are no handshakes or hugs – just a health check and a sterile, “Welcome home Ma’am”.

We are ushered onto a tour bus bound for a hotel that nobody will tell us the name of. he New Zealand Army, Police, Navy, border patrol and health department are on site at the

hotel to help enforce strict isolation, social distance and hygiene measures. Home for the next two weeks is a compact hotel room with an en suite and a queen-sized bed. hree meals a day are delivered to your door with one hour of supervised exercise allowed each day.

Driver jailed over manslaughter By Goya Dmytryshchak A man has been sentenced to jail following the death of a man hit by a car in Braybrook in 2017. Ahmed Sharif, 28, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Paul Duncanson, aged 40. Supreme Court Justice Andrew Tinney sentenced Sharif to ive years and six months, with a minimum of three and a half years. Mr Duncanson had earlier been assaulted

by a group of men associated with Sharif in Ballarat Road, Braybrook, the court heard. His brother, Sean Duncanson, 44, told the court the pair were later walking along Castley Crescent when Sharif’s vehicle drove slowly past and Paul recognised some of the occupants as those with whom he had the earlier run-in. Sean stated that he and his brother caught up with the vehicle and broke a number of car windows.

he court heard that Sharif drove away before turning his vehicle around and running into Paul Duncanson with suicient force to send him lying into the air. Sharif’s accomplices, Salah Abukar, 26, and Dawuud Abdi, 24, then bashed Sean Duncanson. He spent more than a month in hospital recovering from injuries sustained in the attack. In a victim impact statement read to the court, Cheryl Duncanson described being

confronted with the news of the death of one son and the critical injuries sufered by the other as being her “worst nightmare”. She said this was especially so ater the tragic deaths of two of her other children in 1987 and 1999. Abukar and Abdi were found guilty of afray and intentionally causing serious injury to Sean Duncanson and were both jailed for six years and nine months with a minimum of four and a half years.

Celebrating a colourful century Williamstown’s Mealor Higham will be 100 on hursday, May 14. Before coronavirus restrictions, Mrs Higham regularly went out, but will celebrate her centenary at home. Born and raised in Williamstown, Mrs Higham recalls attending school at Williamstown Grammar with her sister, Winsome. “I can remember Miss Molland, the head mistress, very well. She was strict but by the time we inished ith and sixth grade we had learnt French and Algebra and we knew how to knit,” she said. “I completed irst form at Williamstown High School and then inished my schooling at MLC [Methodist Ladies’ College]. “I worked as a typist at the ammunitions factory in Footscray during the war, in charge of the invoice department, until I married a Williamstowm boy, Bob Higham.” he couple were married for 75 years and had three daughters. Mrs Higham has eight grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. “I have always kept busy with painting, pottery, visiting friends and playing cards,” she said. “hese days, I do the word puzzles in the paper every morning. “Adult colouring books take up the rest of the day. Especially now that we can’t get out or have friends drop in, I enjoy the colouring very much. “I’m missing having visitors, going out for morning tea or to the Victoria Inn and other venues for regular lunches and a little play on the pokies. “As soon as the restrictions are lited, I look forward to getting back to doing those things. “Some members of my family live here with me in Williamstown but it’s a shame that others won’t be able to travel from overseas and Queensland and Gippsland to be here for the big 100th. I can’t believe that I will be 100.”

Speed limit cut boosts safety A Yarraville intersection that was the site of 10 casualty crashes in ive years has had no recorded traic incidents since the speed limit was dropped to 40km/h and safety measures installed, Maribyrnong council says. he intersection of Hall and Hyde streets was upgraded in 2017 following numerous complaints from nearby residents. By June, speed limits will be cut to 40km/h on most council-owned local roads in Yarraville, Footscray and Kingsville, with reduced speed limits rolled out across remaining suburbs in the City of Maribyrnong over the next three years. he Hall Street upgrade included reducing the speed limit from 50km/h to 40km/h, painting existing bike lanes green and installing a lat speed hump. In the ive years to 2016, there had been 10 casualty crashes (those resulting in injury or serious injury) recorded at the intersection, including a head-on collision between a vehicle and cyclist. Maribyrnong mayor Sarah Carter said data collected over three years since the upgrade proved that physical safety treatments combined with a 40km/h speed limit had resulted in an overall speed reduction in the area.

Tuning in to lockdown A charity that repairs old guitars is loaning out instruments through Hobsons Bay libraries for residents to learn to play during the COVID-19 pandemic. Guitars Gathering Dust collects unwanted guitars and, with help from Hobsons Bay Men’s Shed, repairs and spruces them up before handing them on to children-based music charities. Founder and Williamstown resident Craig Watt has partnered with Hobsons Bay council to make guitars available on library loan until July 31. “I’ve got probably 30 guitars that were earmarked for the Collingwood English Language School, working with the song room,” he said. “hey were sitting in my shed waiting to be delivered to the Craigieburn campus.

“Rather than having those guitars sitting there, I approached Hobsons Bay council and said, well look, can we try to instigate some sort of loan program. “here’s no better time, I think, for people to take up a musical instrument or try to learn some new skills in isolation.” he council will provide free delivery and manage a 30-day loan service for Hobsons Bay residents who are also library members. Participants will receive an information sheet with learning tutorials and information about strings and minor repairs To book a guitar, email arts@hobsonsbay.vic. gov.au Anyone interested in donating a guitar should visit www.guitarsgatheringdust.com Goya Dmytryshchak
