Backyard chicken salmonella warning Residents keeping chickens in their backyards have been warned to educate themselves about safe fowl handling practices. he Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) issued the warning last week, ater being notiied of nine cases of Salmonella Enteritidis within a two-month period. he DHHS said it was working with Agriculture Victoria to investigate the cases, ive of which occurred in people who had

contact with backyard chickens or who ate eggs from household locks. Most of the people diagnosed live in separate households across Melbourne’s western and northern suburbs, with cases also in Gippsland and western Victoria. Agriculture Victoria has also conirmed that Salmonella Enteritidis has been detected at a commercial egg farm, which is under quarantine.

It is understood end-of-lay chickens from this farm were sold to one of the afected backyard locks. Victoria’s deputy chief health oicer, Dr Angie Bone, said people could be at risk of Salmonella infection if they did not wash their hands thoroughly ater handling chickens or coming into contact with the birds’ environment, or if they ate raw or under-cooked eggs.

Dr Bone said people should discard cracked, damaged or heavily soiled eggs and clean lightly soiled eggs with a dry cloth or a tissue. Do not wash eggs with water, as this makes them porous and can enable bacteria on the surface to penetrate the shell.

Family’s driving desire By Alesha Capone Seven-year-old Point Cook twins Riley and Cooper, along with their two-year-old brother Logan, are the lights of their parents’ lives. he boys have all been diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a rare and progressive muscle-wasting condition which has no cure. Doctors say it is likely that the siblings, who sometimes use mobility scooters to get around, will require wheelchairs before their 12th birthdays. Parents Rebekah (Bekk) and Nick Woronka, have started an online fundraising account to help support their sons. Mrs Woronka said they initially started the GoFundMe account to help raise money for a wheelchair-accessible van. “I’ve been told there are only three types of vans large enough to it three wheelchairs in which is the Toyota HiAce, Ford Transit and a Mercedes Van,” Mrs Woronka said. “his will help the boys to be able to stay in their school and socialise within the community.” Mrs Woronka said the family also hoped to put money raised through the GoFundMe campaign towards a house deposit, so they can purchase a home and adapt it to the needs of their sons. he campaign had last week raised more than $48,000 of the $100,000 target. Mrs Woronka said the family was “so grateful” to the community for the support. She said that having Riley, Cooper and Logan diagnosed with DMD “was extremely diicult for our whole family”. “As a parent you have to make decisions for kids and hope that it’s what they would want you to make,” she said. Mr and Mrs Woronka said they had spent years trying to get a diagnosis for the twins, ater childcare staf raised concerns about them being slower than other children. “he biggest thing I’ve learnt from this whole experience is to trust your instincts,” Mrs Woronka said. “We were turned away by so many doctors saying that there was nothing

wrong with the twins but because I followed my gut and kept searching for answers, we were able to get a diagnosis and get the boys the treatment they need. “I just want other people to not take the irst answer as the only answer if they feel it is not

right. It’s OK to speak up.” Mrs Woronka said that, apart from their DMD diagnosis, Logan, Riley and Cooper were like other youngsters their age. “Logan is so cheeky, he just wants to be like his big brothers so he’s always copying them,”

she said. “Cooper is the sensitive soul, but he also has a cheeky streak. “Riley is the silly one, he will do anything to make people laugh.” Donate at: https://au.gofundme.com/f/ wheelchair-accessible-van-for-woronka-boys

Thousands jobless in the west By Alesha Capone More than 21,500 workers across Melbourne’s west have lost their jobs since March, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. ABS data released last week showed that the unemployment rate in the west is now at 9.3 per cent. In north-western suburbs, unemployment stands at 9.6 per cent, with 22,600 workers losing their job since March. In south-east of Melbourne, 29,700 job losses have resulted in an 8.3 per cent unemployment rate.

he state opposition’s treasurer spokeswoman, Louise Staley, said pandemic lockdown restrictions had contributed to the loss of 162,552 jobs across Melbourne since March. Star Weekly reported last month that businesses located in the 3029 and 3030 postcodes have applied for the most JobKeeper payments in the state, outside of Melbourne. Figures from the Department of Treasury show that 3681 businesses in the 3029 area – which covers Hoppers Crossing, Tarneit and Truganina – have applied for the federal government’s JobKeeper program.

Within the 3030 postcode – which includes Werribee, Werribee South, Point Cook, Quandong and Derrimut – 3272 businesses have applied for JobKeeper. he 3000 postcode (Melbourne) placed irst on the list with 6693 applications. he JobKeeper scheme is a temporary subsidy for businesses signiicantly afected by the coronavirus. In Wyndham, the council has also put together a $5 million WynLocal Business Recovery and Growth Program in response to coronavirus restrictions. his included $1.5 million in grants for

eligible local businesses, to help them adapt and grow when emerging from the COVID-19 shutdown. Applications for the grants closed on June 9. Wyndham’s future focused economy portfolio holder, Cr Walter Villagonzalo, said supporting the resurgence of the local economy was a strong priority for council. “his strategic approach will ensure successful applicants will be given a great opportunity to implement initiatives that focus on recovery and longer-term growth as we transition to a post COVID-19 economy,” Cr Villagonzalo said.

Moved by music Werribee singer Somer Smith says she loves music because it has the ability to move people in a way that mere words can’t. Smith, who released the single Just Us last month, said performing helped to ground her. “he feeling I get singing alone in my room or on the stage for others is unexplainable and something I never ever want to lose,” she said. Back in April, Smith released another single titled Cruisin. “I wrote it in my bedroom and took it into the studio with two producers Robert Amoruso and Ben Oldland,” she said. “It’s about letting go when we’re faced with a diicult or stressful situation and trusting the process.” Since its release, Cruisin has been streamed more than 84,000 times on platforms such as iTunes and Spotify. “My largest audience for the song has been

in the US and UK so far, with Australia being the third most popular, which I think is cool,” Smith said. “I was overwhelmed and humbled to know that my family and friends were listening to the song, and then to see that people around the world were enjoying it just as much as we were, it felt like a dream come true.” Smith said she wanted to express gratitude to all her fans, including those who live in Wyndham. “I would like to say a massive thank you for all of the local support, love and kindness,” she said. “All I want to do is make myself, my family and community proud.” Details: facebook.com/somersmithmusic/ Alesha Capone Werribee singer Somer Smith.

Backing for multi-storey carpark By Alesha Capone Wyndham councillors have thrown their support behind the idea of constructing multi-storey carparks, which would include supermarkets and day-care centres, to ease parking woes at local train stations. At a council meeting last month, Cr Aaron An put forward a motion asking the council to request a set of guidelines from the state government on how public land around train stations could be better used. Cr An said the motion could lead to public

services and facilities being built near train stations, which would in turn help to resolve issues such as parking. He said it was well-known that inding a carpark at Wyndham’s train stations, including Williams Landing station, was a struggle for commuters. “he community have been asking for multi-storey carparking around that station for many years,” he said. Cr Tony Hooper said public-private partnerships could be created to support the development of multi-storey carparks

at Wyndham stations, with facilities such as supermarkets and day-care centres also incorporated into the design. “Quite frankly, if I was a supermarket or daycare centre, that’s a captive market that I’d love to get involved in,” he said. However, Cr Mia Shaw said that although Cr An’s motion was positive, it was “too open-ended” and would not lead to a tangible end-result for council. Cr Shaw said that existing, undeveloped land around train stations was “minimal” and oten privately-owned.

Cr Henry Barlow said that the council should be asking the state government to fulil its election promise to build 1600 new and upgraded carparks at train stations in Melbourne’s west, including 500 spaces at Tarneit station. “he parking’s been promised, so we should be putting the pressure back on the state government, to put in the promised extra carparking,” he said. “We should be advocating on those election promises and holding the politicians to account.”

Crossing to a new role Wyndham council senior staf have been working as temporary school crossing supervisors during the coronavirus pandemic. he council’s director of city operations, Stephen horpe, has been illing in as a crossing supervisor at Featherbrook P-9 College in Point Cook every Monday and Friday, for the past few weeks. “I realise just how valued the service is to the community, and how the children are so well-mannered and respect the role,” Mr horpe said. “Children look forward to crossing the road and saying ‘hello’.” Long-term school crossing supervisor Leanne Braddock has been helping to show Mr horpe the ropes. “You only see the children for a few seconds a day, but you know you can make an impact,” she said. “Sometimes they come to me with a scraped

knee and I tell them to go straight to the front oice to get a Band-aid. “My fridge is always full of beautiful pictures drawn by the school children.” Ms Braddock said while she enjoyed helping the children, there were also dangers attached to the job, including cars that narrowly miss her, as she manages the school crossing. Mr horpe said it was important for the community to be mindful of their driving around school crossings. He said motorists should slow down to 40km/h and follow the instructions of school crossing supervisors. He also asked parents to maintain social distancing near school crossings.

Ms Shinanduku, who migrated from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to Australia more than 10 years ago, said she could not speak English when she irst arrived. She said that learning a new language could be “a headache” but that she had succeeded in doing so. Ms Shinanduku said listening to music lyrics had also helped her to learn English.

She also worked as a television presenter and producer for the national broadcaster, Radio Télévision

Nationale Congolaise. In Australia, she teaches and performs traditional Congolese dancing, and has also worked at La Mama heatre.

Threat to endangered ecosystem By Alesha Capone he Grassy Plains Network has called on the state government to prioritise public acquisition of land for the Western Grassland Reserve between Little River and Melton. he network (GPN), a subcommittee of the Indigenous Flora & Fauna Association Inc, includes representatives of community and neighbourhood conservation groups in Melbourne’s west; ecology academics and researchers; and professionals working in private and council organisations.

he GPN issued its call to the state government last month, following a Victorian Auditor-General’s report which found the government has fallen about 90 per cent short of a commitment to acquire 15,000 hectares of grassland between Little River and Melton by this year. he government has committed to establishing a Western Grassland Reserve outside the Urban Growth Boundary, to connect the reserves of the You Yangs across the Victorian Volcanic Plains to the Werribee River, but the Auditor-General’s report found

that the state government has only acquired 10 per cent of the land needed. A statement from the GPN said the Western Grassland Reserve and other valuable grassland remnants in Melbourne’s west “are deteriorating due to lack of management of weed invasion, overgrazing and other processes”. GPN’s convenor Ben Courtice said: “his is one of Australia’s most endangered ecosystems, and its future is not looking good right now.” “Without intervention to turn this around, the chance to save and restore precious areas of

this unique ecosystem may be lost.” he GPN said the state government should also honour a promise to remove a Public Acquisition Overlay from the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative’s grassland property Wurdi Youang, near Little River, and support their conservation management activities. It also wants the state government to “urgently acquire conservation areas in the Urban Growth Zone for public management for conservation, as most are still in developers’ hands”. he state government was contacted.

Rafle winner revealed A charity rale has raised more than $4000 for the Werribee Mercy Hospital’s 24-hour mental health crisis line. Earlier this year, the Werribee Hospital Foundation launched an appeal to raise $30,000 to upgrade the ageing crisis line. To help out, Werribee Business & Tourism Association (WBTA) member Kim Carter organised a rale, with the irst prize consisting of $1000 of vouchers and treats donated by local businesses Tonia T Boutique, Quest Werribee, Divine Scents Creations, Fith Element Day Spa, he Park Werribee, Dymocks Werribee, Notorious Espresso, he Garden Feast, Shadowfax Winery, Sesto’s Shoes and Salon Vogue. he WBTA, YPA and Tonia T Boutique sponsored the rale, which was drawn last week. Point Cook resident Dorothy Backman was announced as the winner. Ms Backman is actually an employee of the hospital, and is

about to retire from her role as receptionist in the Rehabilitation Outpatients department, which is part of the Continuing Care Centre. Ms Backman said she would miss working at the hospital, where she has been employed for almost a decade. “he staf and the people are just so caring and respectful,” she said. “It is such a wonderful place.” Werribee Hospital Foundation community engagement and fundraising manager Lisa Field said: “It is wonderful to meet people like Dorothy, who have such a positive story to share about the hospital.” “And equally wonderfully, is to have supporters like Tonia from Tonia T Boutique and Kim Carter from Werribee Business & Tourism Association.” Ms Field said the Werribee Hospital Foundation would continue fundraising for the 24-hour mental health crisis line.

UPDATE ON THE WEST GATE TUNNEL PROJECT Work is continuing on the West Gate Tunnel Project to widen the West Gate Freeway and build a new elevated road above Footscray Road providing links to the city and CityLink. New bridges to create new connections In May, crews removed two old West Gate Freeway pedestrian and cycling bridges in Yarraville and Brooklyn. The old bridges, which were installed in the 1970s, won’t span the width of the new freeway. Two new and improved bridges are being built and will open later this year. The new bridges will provide better access and a safer crossing over the freeway with new lighting and CCTV footage. While the bridges are being constructed, a free shuttle-bus service is available. Footscray Road connections lift into place Meanwhile in Footscray, construction of a bridge over the Maribyrnong River and the new elevated road are continuing.

Artist impression of the veloway approaching Moonee Ponds Creek crossing

A massive gantry crane that is taking shape in the middle of Footscray Road will lift 1600 concrete segments into place to form the elevated road. It will start at the city end of Footscray Road, and work west to build the outbound lanes before turning around to complete the inbound carriageway.

Revitalising the cycling commute The elevated road also provides the structure for Melbourne’s first cycle superhighway. The veloway will be attached to the underside of the elevated road and once complete, cyclists will benefit from an off road, dedicated path from Footscray to the Docklands.

Once built, the new road will provide a direct route for trucks to the Port of Melbourne, taking 9000 trucks a day off local streets.

Point Cook retains shopping crown By Alesha Capone Point Cook has retained its crown as the nation’s top online shopping location. Australia Post released a report last month, listing the top 10 suburbs and towns across the country for online shopping by volume during last year. Point Cook retained the top spot for the ith year running, with Cranbourne placing second, Toowoomba in Queensland third, Liverpool in New South Wales fourth and Hoppers Crossing placing ith.

he report did not include the actual numbers or total weight of all the online parcels ordered by shoppers in each area, but stated that Point Cook’s year-on-year growth in online shopping volume amounted to 17.9 per cent. Hopper Crossing’s year-on-year increase in online shopping volume was 24 per cent. he Australia Post report stated that more than 67 per cent of Point Cook households engaged in online shopping during 2019. During last year, Australians spent $32 billion online. Fashion and apparel remained

the most popular items purchased, but as people began to spend more time at home as of March this year, purchases of specialty food and liquor, entertainment and items for the home oice began to soar. Australia Post’s general manager of parcel and express services, Ben Franzi, said that since the World Health Organisation oicially declared the coronavirus to be a pandemic, the eCommerce industry had experienced an “unprecedented” rate of growth. “In April alone we saw over 200,000 new online shoppers enter the market, and a

million more people overall shopping online every week when compared to the average in 2019,” he said. “his inlux drove the number of purchases in the 30 days to April 30 up 6.8 per cent when compared to the 30 days to 18 December 2019, a traditional peak period which includes Black Friday and the pre-Christmas rush. “hough we’ve seen early signs of normalisation through May, all areas of the industry are still up signiicantly when compared to 2019, suggesting that this new normal may be here to stay.”

Cafe’s Jolly good news he Jolly Miller Cafe will open two new venues in Wyndham as part of its statewide expansion. he cafe business has just opened its 13th location in Croydon, with another three locations – Manor Lakes, Tarneit and Melton – in the works. Across the four new locations, about 80 new jobs will be created. he Manor Lakes cafe will open in about two months time, with Tarneit set to open in four months, and Melton later this year. he brand is also looking to move into Geelong and the wider Surf Coast region over the next 12 months, with sights set on Waurn Ponds, Armstrong Creek, Ocean Grove and Torquay under a joint-venture model. Jolly Miller Group co-founder Rimon Barber said he Jolly Miller’s goal was to become everyone’s favourite local cafe and patisserie. “We are all about the local community and that is what has led to our success; we create

an ambience and a place where people want to meet and connect with one another, we like to see ourselves as makers of memorable moments,” he said. he Jolly Miller Croydon cafe was launched earlier this year, at the height of the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. “Even though we opened our doors in the middle of a pandemic and with no dine-in option throughout April and May, we kept our doors open to serve the community and they supported us from the outset,” Mr Barber said. “We believe the current climate will make our cafes stronger. As a suburban-based model, we’re inding more people are staying in their local areas and spending on items at cafes, ater all – everyone still needs to eat and drink.” Details: thejollymiller.com.au/ The Jolly Miller Cafe in Croydon.

Coastal plan outlined By Alesha Capone Protecting the coastline and farmland are two of the key aims in a coastal and marine management plan adopted by Wyndham council. he council endorsed the plan – which concerns the management of marine areas across Werribee South and Point Cook within the next ive years – at a meeting last month. A council report stated that it would cost about $14 million to implement the plan, with funding likely to come from sources including council budgets, grants and the state and federal governments.

he plan, which was developed with community consultation, said that the council intends to complete pedestrian and cycling links within the Wyndham Bay Trail. he council also wants to protect the coastline through revegetation, erosion prevention, cleaning and other conservation works. Another section of the plan said that some respondents to the council’s community consultation process had “indicated that many of the locations on the Wyndham Coast were isolated and felt unsafe, especially Campbell’s Cove and the Point Cook Homestead site”. he plan said public safety could be boosted

in coastal parks and reserves, by installing measures which would see more people using these areas. he plan said possible improvements to be considered for Campbell’s Cove and Bailey’s Beach included sealed paths or boardwalks, accessible public toilets, disabled parking and picnic facilities. As well, the plan said some farmers in Werribee South had expressed concerns about agricultural areas being able to co-exist alongside increased public access to Wyndham’s coastline. he plan will be forwarded to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning for state government approval.

Helping youth achieve By Alesha Capone he Rotary Club of Wyndham Harbour has launched a youth mentoring program for people aged between 18 and 25 years old. he WYN Mentoring initiative, which has been funded through a Wyndham council Community Strengthening grant, aims to promote emotional wellbeing, improve social skills and increase self-esteem in young people, plus support them in education, training and employment. Rotary member Mohammed Isah, who is head of the mentoring program, said he suggested the idea to other club members who have helped to champion it, including former Wyndham mayor Adele Hegedich. Mr Isah, a social worker, migrated from Nigeria to Australia about 20 years ago, with his family. In 2008, he received Wyndham council’s Young Achiever of the Year award, for his work in helping disadvantaged youth. Mr Isah said he was passionate about social justice and playing a role in delivering programs that make an impact upon community needs. He said that people who had made a signiicant impression on him when he was younger had inspired him to come up with the idea for the WYN Mentoring program. “Wyndham is very diverse and many young people have the experience of migrating to Australia,” he said. Mr Isah said that in planning the mentoring program, he had spoken to youths in Wyndham, such as refugees, asylum seekers and irst-generation migrants, to ind out what things they would like assistance with. “he thing I have enjoyed is that I have found young people oten know the answer to some of the challenges they are experiencing, and oten

they can form part of the solution,” he said. “With the proper support mechanisms in place, young people can achieve their passion.” Mr Isah said the Rotary Club had recruited mentors for the program and would put out an expression of interest for young people interested in becoming mentees. He said the club hoped some of the young

Truganina duo to face judge, not jury A man and woman who were arrested ater police allegedly discovered more than 1000 cannabis plants in a Truganina factory will have their trial heard by a judge, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At a hearing on June 15, the pair asked the County Court to decide whether their future trial could be presided over by a judge, rather than a jury. County Court chief judge Peter Kidd said that while the case had been listed for trial on June 1, the pandemic had forced jury trials to be suspended since March this year, causing a delay of up to nine months or more for cases to be heard. Judge Kidd said that according to the Department of Public Prosecutions, the man and woman were both “principal ofenders” whose alleged involvement in the cannabis cultivation included growing, tending or nurturing the plants. Judge Kidd said it was in the public interest for people charged with serious ofences to access “expeditious justice”. He ordered that the case be heard and determined by a judge alone. he man and woman face one charge each of the cultivation of cannabis, in a quantity not less than a large commercial quantity. he man has been on remand since being arrested in 2018, while the woman was granted bail in March last year.

MY WYNDHAM Dr Bindi Venugopalan recently started working at the InnerCare Family Health Clinic in Point Cook, the suburb in which she also lives. She chats with Alesha Capone.

I’m a mum with two little girls and I am a doctor. I’ve been a doctor since 2005, and I came to Australia (from Malaysia) in 2008. I’ve worked across many hospitals around Australia. In 2012, we settled in Point Cook. In 2017, I started specialising in what I like to call “GP land” or “GP world”. I took a posting in a little town in Mount Gambier in South Australia. I loved the country life, we met amazing people and they were so friendly. Ater three years, I became pregnant again and we decided that we would like to be closer to family. I have two sisters in Melbourne, so we moved back to Point Cook. Why did you decide upon medicine as a career? I have always wanted to be a doctor. It’s just about being there, helping people to understand their health. Also, I am all about prevention, I like to talk about preventing something happening, rather than have it happen to someone. I’m looking forward to talking to patients about their concerns.

screen patients before they come into the clinic, for the health and safety of our staf. I still follow up with all my clients though, nothing has changed in that regard. What do you like about Point Cook? I love that it’s a suburb illed with your families, lots of little children, but also older retired people as well. It’s a cultural melting pot. Between 2012 and when you moved to Mount Gambier for three years, and then came back, has the area changed much? here are a lot more cars on the road, which means there are a lot more people moving in. here are lots more cafes and more houses. Do you have a favourite place to eat or get cofee in Wyndham? I like Mun Korean Kitchen in Williams Landing. I love Korean and Japanese food, there are a few restaurants we usually get food from.

Scenes of beauty As the colder weather hits, exploring the great outdoors becomes something which many people become a little more reluctant to do. However, Melbourne was blessed with some lovely days of sunshine last week, during which Star Weekly photographer Damjan Janevski captured these images showcasing the beauty of Werribee South. Even during a pandemic, Campbell’s Cove remains a site of splendid scenery. Some of the beach shacks date back to the 1940s and 1950s. According to the Wyndham Heritage Study 1997, a report prepared by Werribee council in July 1963 showed that many of the shacks were – at that time – owned by people from as far away as Brunswick, Coburg, hornbury, Essendon, Pascoe Vale, Yarraville and Sunshine.

Calling out abuse By Alesha Capone People who call triple-0 to request police help are routinely heaping abuse, threats and inappropriate sexual remarks on employees of the Emergency Services Telecommunications Authority (ESTA). About 70 per cent of calls seeking police assistance involve the operators being abused, according to the ‘I am 000’ podcast. Two call-takers who work at the ESTA centre in Williams Landing, Erin and Kate, were recently interviewed for the podcast, discussing the abuse they receive on a daily basis. Snippets of ofensive and foul-mouthed calls to triple-0 are included in the podcast, and are sometimes harrowing listening. Podcast host Tania Willett said she hoped this particular episode of the ‘I am 000’ series would raise awareness of the abuse ESTA police call-takers receive. “It is diicult to hear that police call-takers, who are there to help in an emergency, are being sworn at and verbally abused by callers,” Ms Willett said. “Hearing those triple-0 calls can be quite confronting but it does show the reality of what these calls can be like.” Amy Kimber has worked at ESTA for more than 13 years. She began as a police call-taker and is now executive manager operations at Williams Landing. Mrs Kimber said that when people called triple-0 they were oten experiencing a traumatic situation, and abuse could come about because they were scared, angry or panicked. But she said the abuse ESTA call-takers received did not always come from callers in risky or emotional situations, and that harassment was “quite common across all calls”. “hreats to call-takers themselves are quite common,” she said. “Oten call-takers might 16 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY Wednesday, 8 July, 2020

get asked if they have children and a family and the caller might make threats towards them. “We can also get calls from people making sexually inappropriate comments, which can be quite traumatic for our call-takers.” Mrs Kimber said that ESTA call-takers were provided with customer service and call control training, which she said was important for all employees, both new and experienced. “We do have support services available and we reinforce that if call-takers need, they can use our peer support program and our employee assistance program, which provides access to clinical counsellors,” she said. “We encourage call-takers to take a deep breath, take a few minutes to compose themselves ater a challenging call, and when they’re ready to face another call, then they can

do so.” Mrs Kimber said that for new ESTA call-takers, oten their irst six to 12 months in the job established whether it was the type of work for them or not. “Call-takers get into the role because they want to help the community and work for a purpose,” she said. “In the irst few months they will establish whether they can cope with the role, which does include the constant verbal abuse from callers.” Mrs Kimber said she believed the general public would be surprised to learn of the amount of harassment ESTA call-takers received. “People wouldn’t normally treat others so poorly face-to-face, so our call-takers can be seen as easy targets being only a voice on the phone,” Mrs Kimber said.

“Our call-takers are actual people behind the phone, they are not just a voice. hey all have families and friends, just as all of our callers do, and the abuse doesn’t help the situation at all.” Mrs Kimber said that ESTA received more than 7000 calls per day. “he call-taking process is designed to be streamlined so our call-takers can quickly work through the questions in order to get the right help to the caller, as quickly as possible.” he ‘I am 000’ podcast series is a mix of ambulance, police and ire-related stories highlighting the brave actions of callers in challenging situations, as well as ESTA operators. he podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and SoundCloud, or subscribe at www. esta.vic.gov.au/i-am-000-podcast

JD 12436763-JV03-20

Passed away peacefully on 28th June, 2020 at Grant Lodge, Bacchus Marsh. Dearly loved and loving husband of Mary (dec.). Much loved father and father-in-law of Garry and Jan Pengelly and Gayle and Tony Stevens. Loved and treasured ‘Frankie Boy’ of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Lee and Jen, Jason and Sam, Luke and Jodie, Jessie, Soraya, Rossi, Cobie, Mahli, Abbi, Teddy, Jordan and Ethan. Loved Frankie of Rhiannon. Frankie, in this world you were our father. As a father you were our world. You were a gentleman in every sense of the word. Your passing has left us all with heavy hearts but wonderful lifelong memories. Reunited with Mare, the love of your life. R.I.P. - Garry, Jan and family. Memories are like keepsakes, we treasure all life through, but ours are very special, because they are of you. “See you when you’ve got nothing on” - Love Gayle, Tony and family. Special thanks to Grant Lodge for caring for Frankie in his time of need.

DEAR heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours. This time I ask you, this very special one (mentioned favour). Take it, the dear heart of Jesus, and place it with your own broken heart, where your father sees it. Then in his merciful eyes, it will become your favour, not mine. Amen. Say for three days, promise publication, and your favour will be granted.
