Mask up for community

(Damjan Janevski) 211319_03

Emma Slattery and her dog Lexi look marvellous in their face masks. They’re heeding the advice of Premier Daniel Andrews who on Sunday said it was compulsory for those (humans) living in metropolitan Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire to wear face masks outside of the home. Mr Andrews made the recommendation on advice from the state’s chief health oficer, following new evidence from global medical experts that wearing masks can help reduce the transmission of COVID-19 by about 60 per cent. “Staying at home if you feel unwell is still the best way to slow the spread of coronavirus but wearing a cloth mask provides an additional physical barrier, adding one more layer of protection for you and those around you,” Mr Andrews said. Star Weekly last week asked residents in lockdown to send in photos of themselves and their families wearing face masks, or engaging in lockdown activities. See page 8-9 for more pictures.

“As the number of cases has climbed, we have seen an increase in the demand on our drive-through fever clinic in Melton, demand that we continue to meet. “Since March, our COVID-19 drive-through testing clinic has screened more than 14,285 members of the community. “he number of cases in Moorabool remain low compared to other areas in Victoria, which relects the continued eforts of our community to protect each other.

Moorabool signs off on budget By Ewen McRae Moorabool council has approved its 2020-21 budget, but not before strong debate on the merits of a rate rise. he budget includes a two per cent rate rise, $38.216 million in capital works and a inancial hardship policy for those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. An indoor recreation centre and swimming pool in Bacchus Marsh and upgrades to the Darley Park Recreation Reserve pavilion were among the capital works planned.

‘‘

a rate increase of two per cent is a kick in the guts - Tom Sullivan

’’

Councillors Tom Sullivan and Paul Tatchell voted against the budget, with Cr Sullivan arguing that a rate rise would hurt residents already struggling through the pandemic. “We are basically in a time of unprecedented uncertainty,” Cr Sullivan said. “his COVID-induced recession we are

going through is a private sector recession. People in Moorabool Shire are hurting, and a rate increase of two per cent is a kick in the guts. “I know there will be arguments put forward with respect to the long-term inancial viability of the shire, and the two per cent rate increase is needed for the viability of the shire, the reasoning is sound but the timing is appalling. “Council should have regard and empathy for ratepayers who are doing it tough.” Councillor Lawry Borgelt spoke in favour of the rate rise.

“Nobody likes paying rates, and voting for a rate increase is never popular,” he said. “To do so at this time is a serious decision and one which should not be taken lightly. “But this is a budget for the future, and putting forward this rate increase sets us up to provide infrastructure for our population increase. “his budget also provides actual targeted relief for those individuals and businesses that have been afected by the COVID-19 global pandemic, and not just a token efort that a zero per cent rate rise represents.”

Melton netball rising star Mel Oloamanu may not be hitting the court much lately, but her talents have not gone unrecognised. Oloamanu was recently awarded a School Sports Victoria Blue, the highest award in school sports in the state with just one winner per sport, and she said she was blown away to be recognised. “I was so surprised, I never expected to have something like this,” she said. “My family were so excited. It feels like another accomplishment … playing the sport that I love and good reward for the hard work.”

With movement restrictions once again being enforced, the RSPCA is reminding pet owners not to ignore the needs of their furry friends. he organisation said it had received increased reports of pet owners anxious about providing their pet with the proper care, including vet visits, since stage three restrictions were reintroduced. his included horse owners who had animals outside of the lockdown region. RSPCA Victoria’s head of inspectorate, Terry Ness, said people are required under the law to provide proper care for their animals including feed for horses and livestock and the current COVID-19 situation does not absolve them of these responsibilities. “Our RSPCA inspectors are encountering many people who are unsure about whether they are able to travel to feed their animals or take them to a vet – we want to remind everybody that they are still able to provide proper care for their animals during this time,” Mr Ness said. “Animal owners also need to ensure that they continue to provide all the necessities for their animals including enough food, water, shelter, along with things such as regular hoof care by a farrier, dentistry and appropriate rug wear for horses. “People who agist their horses must also continue to visit and check on them regularly to provide proper care, and people who own or operate agistment facilities must continue to treat and care for the animals … and maintain the facility.”

Police are appealing to witnesses to a trafic incident in the vicinity of Glen Road and O’Neills Road, Melton. Police say a black Ford Territory pulled in front of a Toyota Hilux before braking heavily. The two vehicles pulled along aside one another, before the Ford performed a burnout and drove at the Toyota, causing a collision. The driver of the Ford has then produced a blowtorch and ignited it before the Toyota led down Glen Road toward Oldershaw Road. The Ford followed, ramming the Toyota multiple times. Another ramming has occurred between the vehicles at the intersection of O’Neill’s Road and High Street. Police urge any witnesses or those with dash camera footage to contact Constable Andrew Berry at Melton Police on 9747 7999 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 and quote Incident Number 200252819.

Woodlea project director Matthew Dean said a works-in-kind construction agreement provided greater direct beneits to the Woodlea community. “Due to the speed in which the Woodlea community is growing, a works-in-kind project was a more suitable option as it allowed us to fast-track the construction of the shared path,” he said.

Deception charge pending Melton police arrested a 25-year-old male following an ongoing investigation into the theft of personal papers which were later used in a number of deceptions. Police executed a warrant on a Melton South house on July 14 and located a quantity of methylamphetamine, GHB and an unregistered irearm.

If there’s one bloke ishing alone on a lake in rural Victoria that the police happen to notice, there is no reason to hand out a ine.” She warned that people would quickly tire of being told how to live.

“If public messaging is confusing, the rules are inconsistent and some sections of the community feel as if they are being unfairly targeted, like law-abiding shooters, then some will become increasingly unhappy and less compliant.” “Our state government needs to beware of overreach when it comes to curtailing all individual freedoms and liberties. Locking people up in lats and houses will also have consequences. We need to continue to listen to experts, use common sense, and governments need to stop using the crisis to take more control over individuals’ lives.”

New captain for CFA By Ewen McRae Caroline Springs Fire Brigade has elected Craig Freshwater as its irst captain in 18 years. Following the integration of career and volunteer ireighters at the station in 2002, the position of captain did not form part of the volunteer rank structure. However, as ire services reform came into efect on July 1, the position became necessary to make up the volunteer leadership structure. Mr Freshwater was successfully elected. “I’m privileged and overwhelmed with the title and I hope to be a good custodian of the red helmet,” Mr Freshwater said. “I hope to lead this brigade well and eventually pass it to someone who can take on the brigade in a stronger position.” Mr Freshwater began his time in the CFA at just 16 years of age, where he joined his family in the Bairnsdale Fire Brigade for many years before relocating to Melbourne. He joined Caroline Springs brigade about six years ago. He said he wants to use his new leadership role to continue to pass on the valuable experience he’s gained through the CFA over the past 20 years. “[he] CFA has made me the person I am today; the people who I have met along the journey have shaped me into who I am,” he said. “here’s no point holding on to the experience I’ve gained, it would be wasted if I didn’t pass it on to the younger members of the brigade. “I hope they get the opportunity to pass on their experience in time as well. If I can help other members coming up the ranks then that would be a success for me.” he state government recently established Fire Rescue Victoria, which will replace the

Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) and will operate in urban areas and major regional centres. he CFA is now a community-based, solely volunteer ireighter organisation. Mr Freshwater said he was looking forward to taking on the challenge of leading his brigade through historical changes for the CFA in Victoria. “he people are everything and giving back to the community is so important for me,” he

said. “I’m optimistic about the future of our brigade. We will go through this change equipped with some very strong relationships with our former career CFA members who have gone into key positions within Fire Rescue Victoria. “Our volunteers have been serving the community for around 75 years and we have no intention of stopping at all.”

Help to stay connected Locals experiencing loneliness and disconnection during the ongoing pandemic will receive extra support with the establishment of a new hotline. he state government and the Red Cross last week launched the Community Activation and Social Isolation initiative with more than $6 million over six months to support people experiencing loneliness or social disconnection as a result of COVID-19. Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers Luke Donnellan said the initiative would be an extra tool to assist with mental health support in the community. “he coronavirus pandemic has bought into even sharper focus the importance of community and social connections… his initiative is about people getting the help they need safely and locally,” Mr Donnellan said. “If you’re feeling lonely, give the coronavirus hotline a call on 1800 675 398 and press three to speak to an Australian Red Cross volunteer who will provide a friendly ear and can connect you to supports in your local community.” Red Cross Victorian director Sue Cunningham said reports of those struggling mentally in the community had risen in recent months. “Some have concerns about job loss and inances. Many people are distressed and are needing someone to turn to. We are helping by providing that friendly listening ear and caring voice.” Ewen McRae

Time called on junior football By Ewen McRae Junior football across the west has been cancelled for 2020, with the latest COVID-19 lockdown restrictions making a season unfeasible. he major metropolitan football leagues – including the Western Region Football League and Essendon and District Football League – made a joint decision to call of all junior football and focus on the 2021 season.

hopeful of playing some form of a netball season in the late-spring/summer period. WRFL chief executive Matthew Duck said a further six weeks of stage three stay-at-home restrictions announced by the state government recently meant the potential window of opportunity for a junior premiership season

was now too small to pursue. “We chased a junior season as far as we could, but ultimately the WRFL determined the challenges of staging a season in the current climate simply too great,” he said. Mr Duck said that club feedback had again been a cornerstone of league decision-making. “Club support for a junior season had until recently remained strong, however recent surveying and considerable club consultation showed that support had understandably waned, with a signiicant majority of junior clubs now desiring a season cancellation and

the certainty that comes with it,” he said. “Whilst clearly a diicult decision to make, we hope this decision allows clubs and volunteers who have done an incredible job to now focus their energies on next season.” he cancellation also includes all under-18.5 and women’s competitions across the two leagues. Many other local sports have also announced season cancellations recently. Hockey Victoria abandoned plans for a three month season starting this week, while Rugby Victoria says it will aim for a community rugby season during spring.

I was very pleased to play a role in the decision to introduce a financial assistance package for ratepayers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I’m proud that we can provide these quality alternatives to our usual programing and we welcome and encourage everyone to take a look at what’s on offer for you and your family – to find our more, visit facebook.com/meltonlearning and facebook.com/ cityofmeltonlibraries

If you have any COVID-19 symptoms or you’ve been in contact with someone who is unwell, you should seek advice and get tested.

Council’s online offering continues to grow and it’s great to see many of you trying our interactive kids’ sessions such as story times; as well as cooking and fitness classes for all ages; and special Facebook groups for seniors, parents, and carers. Joining in local activities online is a positive way to maintain some routine, have fun, and make positive connections with the community.

This important decision resulted in Council assisting residents experiencing financial hardship by offering eligible ratepayers a $200 rate waiver for the fourth quarter 2019/2020 rates cycle, and a zero percent rate rise for all ratepayers for the new financial year. This support demonstrates that we truly are a Council that’s responsive to our community’s needs. Coronavirus will have a lasting effect on our economy, with unemployment set to rise both domestically and internationally. That’s why it’s important that we look to the future, and establish how we can prepare for what will no doubt be hard times ahead.

Now is the time to focus on our young people, encouraging and supporting them to study in industries that will offer employment opportunities beyond COVID-19. We all want jobs generated by new investment to go to locals, and to do that, we need to make sure the next generation of jobseeker has the right skills to take up those positions. Let’s lay a solid foundation upon which the future of our community can be built, and create a local economy that’s strong and sustainable for everyone. Feel free to contact me on 0437 226 887 or email: ken.hardy@melton.vic.gov.au

A reminder that our Civic Centres are closed to the public right now, however you can find the answers to many of your Council questions via our website. Whether you’re wondering about immunisation sessions, hard waste collections, changes related to COVID-19, and more, you can simply use the search function to quickly find what you’re after at melton.vic.gov.au Speaking of all things digital, this month we held our first ever virtual citizenship ceremonies! I’d like to again welcome and congratulate the 20 residents who joined us online to make the pledge to become Australian citizens. Citizenship ceremonies are usually a regular event on the Council calendar, and it’s wonderful that we can now welcome citizens in another way. With every new person who settles in our City also comes new ideas, different experiences, and a richer culture in our community. Feel free to contact me about Council related issues on 0409 951 020 or email at: lara.carli@melton.vic.gov.au or visit my Facebook page at: facebook.com/Cr.LaraCarli

Tribute to our animal volunteers Edgar’s Mission has come a long way since its establishment in 2003. he Lanceield animal sanctuary is now home to more than 400 farm animals including Crocodile Rock the lamb and Sunny the pig. But it was one pig, Edgar Alan Pig, that changed the lives of farm founder Pam Ahern and countless animals. Ater Edgar trotted into Pam’s world, she knew he needed a place to grow and thrive. hat’s when the idea of building an animal sanctuary came about. Pam gave up her full-time job and decided to dedicate her life to protecting farm animals and provide shelter at Edgar’s Mission for homeless, abused, injured and abandoned animals. Seventeen years on and the farm has rescued more than 5000 animals in need, and has turned into a much-loved tourist attraction. In recent times, the COVID-19 pandemic has put a stop to events and visitor tours at the farm. But the staf, volunteers and animals haven’t let the virus dampen their spirits. Star Weekly photographer Damjan Janevski captured the smiles of the feathered, furry and cuddly residents of Edgar’s Mission. Jessica Micallef

And if that still sounds daunting, we offer older-school phone consultations as well. “This all means that tax returns can be completed in the comfort of our clients’ own homes, with any paperwork that might be needed at their ingertips. “Our ofice, by the way, will be open to receive any hand-dropped paperwork.” Tax Concepts has also introduced digital signing of documents. “We can enable this via a client’s email, with paperwork sent able to be signed in seconds and returned at any time, from any device. This really enhances the smoothness and ease of the paperwork process.” Perhaps best known for its focus on PAYG and small business tax services, Tax Concepts is also widely acknowledged for its signiicant expertise in property

Comfort food to combat covid blues It’s little wonder Seb from Frilled Fresh has seen a rising demand for his quality, Aussie-caught ish and tasty chips when a steaming pack of fried or grilled comfort food is surely the answer to coronavirus blues – let alone a nippy winter. From $5.50, burgers include the likes of smoky barbecue chicken, classic Aussie, vegie, and the Flamin’ with a hint of jalapeno and hot chilli sauce. Garlic and herb grilled whole squid, and prawns done the same, are two of ive specialties that Seb reckons are worth dropping in for. Steak sandwiches, and all the usual faves and more are here, as well – think potato cakes, dim sims (including homemade), and battered prawns, mussels and onion rings, along with pumpkin cakes for the vegos, plus fresh-made salads. Are there any desserts? Yes … a line-up of 10, for which the word “indulgence” was surely invented. It’s not just banana and pineapple fritters and jam doughnuts that are here. Among others, there’s mixed berry cheesecake, mars mud cake, cookies ‘n’ cream cheesecake, homemade chocolate mousse, cinnamon-sugared churros, lemon meringue pie, and the delightfully over the top battered Mars Bars and Oreos. COVID-19 protocols are followed in-store, and there’s a home delivery service via Menulog or Door Dash. Frilled Fresh, Shop 5, 11 Station Road, Melton South. Opens 11am-late Tuesday-Sunday.

iven brothers Seb, Bill and Rob all worked together at a ish and chip shop in Melton in the four years before Frilled Fresh opened, it’s itting the business has operated with each of the brothers at the helm since. Bill opened the doors in 2014, Rob took over in 2015, and having been there since the start of it all, October last year marked Seb’s time to be kingish. “We all work together and help each other out when we can – it’s a family business,” Seb says. “We believe it’s important to support our community and we’re proud to employ seven locals at Frilled – hopefully we can increase that number in the future as the business grows. “We’re in a handy spot, only ive shops away from Coles Station Square, so come in and place your order and when you’re done with your shopping, we’ll have your food ready, waiting and piping hot.” Seb and his crew offer a long list of ish varieties, from barramundi and lathead to salmon and couta ($6), served fresh from the grill or fryer. And the chips (small $3) come with gravy or garlic dip, and sweet potato chips (small $5.50) are also on board. Frilled Fresh is also known for no less than a dozen delicious varieties of burgers, and an impressive selection of souvlaki which cover chicken, ish, lamb and falafel.

Setting the course for perfection Anyone who watches home reno shows will know all about the perils of poorly applied waterprooing in bathrooms – and the lawless precision demanded to achieve success.

B

ut if homeowners undertaking a bathroom revamp aren’t familiar with the complexities of waterprooing, they needn’t worry because the crew at Specialized Waterprooing in Melton knows plenty. As Eddie Butterworth, owner of the well-regarded business for the past 20 years, puts it: “Waterprooing jobs deinitely need proven experts.” Two years ago, the business added a well-matched string to its bow by establishing Western Bathroom, a wholesale tile and bathroom accessory outlet under the same roof as Specialized Waterprooing. Eddie says the arrangement works well, especially in terms of convenience for their customers, whether a home renovator or commercial outit, big and small. “On the waterprooing side of the ledger, we’re specialists in the domestic and commercial building sectors,” says Eddie. “We waterproof bathrooms, balconies, retaining walls and basements, as well as carry out sheet membrane applications.” “We also do full builds of tiled and sand cement-tiled shower bases, and the products we use, such as Ardex waterprooing membranes and caulking compounds, are top shelf.” The business, fully licensed and registered with Master Builders Association and the Victorian Building Authority, also has a full domestic builders licence (for waterprooing only).

Something to watch out for are Eddie’s waterprooing courses for the public, held every three months. Give Eddie a call for details. Eddie says Western Bathroom offers timber looring/vinyl planks and a wide range of quality tiles at very competitive prices. “Our product range includes high quality tapware, baths, basins, shower sets, shower mixers, toilets and kitchen and laundry sinks,” he says. “Anything to do with bathrooms, we have, and we have it at wholesale prices.” Items such as silicons, tile glues, grouts, trims and wedges are also in stock. If a product or item can’t be found in-store, Eddie will source it. An ideas man, Eddie is happy to help home renovators with his expert advice. And as a wholesaler, his prices are always surprising. Eddie notes: “We stand by our workmanship, and we’re proud to be recognised in the building industry and community for our quality and professionalism.” Specialized Waterprooing and Western Bathrooms/Tile Wholesalers, Factory 2, 142-144 High Street, Melton. Opens 9am-4pm Monday-Friday; weekends by appointment. Inquiries: 9743 2764 or 0414 656 615 or visit www.specializedwaterprooing.com

Beat the ‘iso’ blues in ways old and new Grandparents all over the country must be mighty happy that they live in the era of Facetime and Zoom, what with the pandemic lockdowns and ‘iso’. Although not able to wrap their grandkids in big hugs, they can at least see and talk to their favourite small people, writes Carole Levy. It seems, now, a bit scary to think that people going through the same quarantine restrictions during the 1918 Spanish lu had no technology to maintain contact, with even (rare) phones oten restricted to emergency calls. But they did write letters. It turns out that this disappearing art of “talking on paper” is a terriic partner for our tech contact with the grandies. In fact, there’s more than one way to keep in dynamic, loving contact with them – and they’re ways that are guaranteed to bring lots of smiles, with neither much talent nor efort required. Here are a couple to think about:

1. Write a letter Post your letter in a large envelope, addressed to your grandchild’s name, and enclose a bundle of smaller unsealed envelopes with an A4 sheet of paper inside each, stamped and addressed to you. Kids love getting letters. And if you make it easy on them (and their parents), you’ll receive back letters – or pictures – from them. hey’re great grandma-type keepsakes, and whacked in a scrapbook, could mark the ‘season of COVID-19’ in years to come. And kids say the funniest things so imagine the laughs come their 21st birthdays.

2. Direct a movie

he point is to give the grandkids a glimpse into your life during enforced separation, by simply ilming yourself or another as you/they go about the day. It might be grandpa in his garden, or tinkering in his shed, or grandma doing

her morning crossword or picking herbs for the night’s dinner. Choose small vignettes, stopping and starting wherever, but keep up a running conversation about what’s happening in front of you. Kids will ind it a) hilarious; b) heartwarming;

or c) be inspired to return the favour. And, again, a wonderful chronicle of family life. Old-fashioned and new-fangled: both great, like anything done with love. Coronavirus will pass, but the need for meaningful communication is forever. 12446850-CG24-20

Nothing fancier than a smartphone or iPad is required, and directorial talent is optional.

Post a proper letter to the grandkids for a coronavirus lift. (iStock)
