Events fall victim to virus

(Shawn Smits) 213608_03

The Djerriwarrh Festival and Lakeside Alive have been cancelled for 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Melton council had hoped restrictions would ease in time to continue planning the major events, which were scheduled for November and October respectively, but with uncertainty surrounding the current lockdown, as well as the need to book facilities and equipment well in advance, it became an impossible task. Mayor Lara Carli said while it was disappointing to cancel such popular events, it was the right decision. “We know that Djerriwarrh Festival and Lakeside Alive are much-loved community events, however, we need to prioritise the health and safety of our festival attendees, staff, volunteers, community groups and school groups who help make Djerriwarrh Festival possible. “We are very much looking forward to bringing you … reimagined events in 2021.” Council has also put on hold funding for two community-run Carols by Candlelight, pending future developments in the COVID-19 situation.

Virus cases plummet By Ewen McRae Active cases of COVID-19 have plummeted locally in the past week, with Melton recording its lowest number of cases in almost a month. Melton had 239 active cases as of August 23, the lowest number since July 27 when there were 230 active cases. It is a huge drop from last week’s high point, when there were more than 500 active cases of the virus in Melton for the irst time. Moorabool has 11 active cases, with 34 in total since the pandemic began.

he drop is consistent with a decline in case numbers across the state, and chief health oicer Brett Sutton said he was determined to continue the downward trend. “We’re not going to see, you know, 300s and 400s again in Victoria, not under my watch at least,” Professor Sutton said. “It would be great to see numbers going down even further, but I still do expect that we’re on a trajectory, seven-day moving average that sees it continue to decrease. “Essentially the transmission that’s still occurring is sometimes because people have

forgotten those really basic but very essential elements: not washing your hands that one time, forgetting your mask, not wearing it properly, hugging someone who’s outside your household. “hese are simple but also easy to forget. You know, we [have] got ingrained habits we’re trying to turn around.” Despite the drop in numbers, Premier Daniel Andrews said it was too soon to think about easing restrictions. “If we start opening before we have defeated this second wave … we’ll just be in the

beginnings of a third wave,” he said. “So we’ve just got to stay the course on this – the ultra marathon. hat’s the best analogy I can think of. We’re about halfway.” Djerriwarrh Health Services said it conducted 1138 COVID-19 tests in the week to August 21, and a cumulative total of 21,463 since the beginning of the pandemic. he health services’ Hospital in the Home program, which was set up to allow patients who would otherwise require hospitalisation to recover at home, is currently supporting 82 patients as they recover from COVID-19.

McPherson Park project funded By Ewen McRae MacPherson Park in Toolern Vale will get a facelit as part of a state government stimulus package. A $1.18 million funding boost for the transformation of the park is one of 27 similar projects across the state designed to stimulate the economy as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. he project will include the replacement of the existing soccer pavilion that is no longer it for purpose.

Once complete, the new pavilion will comprise four female-friendly changerooms with player amenities, a kitchen and community social space, umpires rooms, irst aid and public amenities. he facility will provide a perfect base for tenant clubs, including Melton Phoenix Football Club, to develop programs, train, host games and events. Melton MP Steve McGhie said the upgrades would be a boost for local clubs who have had their competition put on hold or cancelled this year.

Western United through to semis Western United’s dream run in its inaugural A-League season has continued, progressing to the semi-inals at the weekend. United conirmed its place in the inals last week, continuing its strong form since the season re-start, and it made the most of opportunities with a 1-0 win over Brisbane in Sunday’s elimination inal. Star Italian import Alessandro Diamanti continued his amazing season by scoring the only goal of the match with a pinpoint free kick in the 20th minute to send United into a clash

with Melbourne City on August 26. he winner will play in the grand inal against either Sydney FC or Perth Glory. Star striker Besart Berisha said it was an amazing achievement for the ledgling club to play in a semi-inal in their irst season. “I’m very, very happy and very proud as a player. What a story it is – irst year as a club. I can’t be more thankful and more proud of the group,” Berisha said. “We are in the semi-inals in the irst year in the league.

“We will keep dreaming and keep following the story and see where it ends. Hopefully [we go] very far. “We have a very, very special group and we ight for every minute.” It continues a strong end of the season for United, which has won four of its six games since the resumption of the season, and also had Diamanti crowned as the player of the season by broadcaster Fox Sports.

Eynesbury could soon be fully part of the Melton municipality, under a plan to re-draw the local government boundaries. Most of the burgeoning suburb already falls under Melton council’s jurisdiction, with a portion of it under Wyndham. But a push from the estate planners to consolidate under the Melton banner has won approval from Melton council. Councillors last week voted to write to Wyndham council to seek approval for the move, which would then go before the local government minister to facilitate the minor boundary change. Developers said the change would avert impending issues relating to service delivery to the entire township at later stages in the suburb’s development. Melton chief executive Kel Tori said it was a smart move to change the boundaries to avoid more problems in future years. “hat historic anomaly with the boundaries has caused some issues with the developer in terms of having to deal with two councils,” Mr Tori said. “he complexities involved will only increase as the community of Eynesbury grows. “It would be far simpler, I believe, for all concerned if the whole of the Eynesbury township was to be contained within a single municipality, and given that almost all of the development to date has been on the Melton side of the border, it is appropriate that we seek to have the boundary realigned.”

Landill breach alarms councils By Ewen McRae Melton and Brimbank councils have raised concerns a landill operator that has applied to process contaminated soil has been ined for breaching its license conditions. Cleanaway is currently bidding to accept contaminated soil from the West Gate Tunnel Project at its Ravenhall site. he councils have united in opposition to the plans and said recent breaches show the site is not suited for the soil. “When it comes to contaminated soil, we shouldn’t have to wonder whether it will be

’’

handled safely and appropriately,” Melton mayor Lara Carli said. “It’s not a risk we’re willing to accept in an area where families live and work. “his uncertainty is among the many reasons we launched our Stop the Soil campaign, asking the state government and Transurban to reject Cleanaway’s proposal.

“We are deeply concerned to learn that Cleanaway subsidiary Landill Operations has been ined by the Environmental Protection Authority for two breaches at its Ravenhall site.” he Environment Protection Authority recently ined Cleanaway for having too much exposed waste on the operating tip face, and for leaving too much waste exposed on the surface of the tip. It follows a breach in November last year, when the EPA found that the surface area of exposed waste on the active tipping area was about two-and-a-half times the licensed limit. EPA Western Metropolitan regional

manager Stephen Lansdell said the recent ine was warranted. “Promptly covering waste with a layer of soil and minimising the amount exposed during daily operations are among the basics of operating a landill,” Mr Lansdell said. “It is one of the simplest ways to control odour and the escape of litter from an operating landill and is clearly listed as one of the requirements of their EPA licence,” he said. “All landill operators must know they have a responsibility to the environment and the community to undertake this kind of daily maintenance.”

Snake season nears Snake season is just around the corner and this year’s will be a little diferent due to COVID-19. Stewart Gatt aka Stewy the Snake Catcher expects more snake reports with more people staying at home. “In previous years, most people are at work or at school during the day, which means most snakes go about their business undetected around the homes, but this year we are expecting a lot more calls during the day,” he says. “In the last two weeks, we have already attended to more than 15 call-outs, with catches including eastern brown snakes, copperheads, tiger snakes and blue tongue lizards.” Snakes don’t hibernate but do something called brumation, Stewy says. “his is a type of hibernation but the diference is that snakes will emerge from their slumber on certain days to sit in the sun.” Snakes are ectothermic.

Support Local

“his means they can’t regulate their body temperature,” Stewy says. “So, when you see a snake or lizard laying in the sun, they are merely absorbing energy.” Stewy says harming a snake is illegal, adding there is no need to kill a snake. “If you have time to go and get a shovel, you have time to call a snake catcher to come and remove it safely. Snakes are nature’s pest control. One adult snake could potentially control around 10,000 rats or mice a year.” If you see a snake in your yard, Stewy’s advice is to slowly move away, remove any children or pets and call a snake catcher. If you are bitten, make yourself safe, move as little as possible and call triple-0. Details, visit www.stewythesnakecatcher. com.au or call 1300REPTILE (1300 737 845). Goya Dmytryshchak

Council elections to go ahead By Ewen McRae Local council elections will go ahead in October, despite uncertainty over the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While there have been calls for the elections to be delayed until 2021, as happened in New South Wales, the Victorian government said it would be safe for the elections to proceed with postal voting. Local Government Minister Shaun Leane said the advice from Victoria’s chief health oicer, Professor Brett Sutton, was that the elections could go ahead. “he chief health oicer has advised that October represents a period when risk is likely

that election preparations are already well underway and that there are no administrative or procedural barriers to the election being held on October 24.” he department of health has developed a set of guidelines for safe campaigning for candidates, including permitted campaign activities, safety for campaign teams, hygiene and physical distancing. he government has also launched its candidate training course online, which all prospective candidates will need to complete. However the Municipal Association of Victoria said it was disappointed its concerns about the elections had fallen on deaf ears. MAV president Coral Ross said delaying the

election would have been a common sense move. “We have been calling for a deferral of local government elections for months now due to the signiicant impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on free and fair elections,” Cr Ross said. “Minister Leane’s announcement today means that the elections will not have the quality and diversity of candidates that Victoria deserves. “We know that not all councils were in favour of postponing council elections until 2021, but in the current environment and State of Disaster, it would have been a sensible and practical decision, for communities, candidates and councils.”

Enough money for 15 new seeing eye dogs was raised at Petbarn Caroline Springs. (Supplied)

Generous pet owners help to guide the way Pet owners in Caroline Springs have helped raise a record amount for Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs. Petbarn outlets across the country held their annual appeal across July for Vision Australia’s work with seeing eye dogs, with the Caroline Springs store raising $976 for the month. he total is enough to help 15 seeing eye dogs start their journey to helping the vision impaired, including help with the costs of breeding, training and caring. Petbarn Caroline Springs store manager Melissa Hancock, said she was grateful for the generosity of local shoppers at a time when many people are doing it tough. “We’re extremely grateful to everybody that donated what they could to this great cause,” Ms Hancock said “We know 2020 has been a challenging year for so many people, yet our customers continue to amaze us with their generosity. “he money raised will go towards helping Australians who are blind or have low vision retain their independence and mobility.” he appeal raised a total of $775,000, and Vision Australia Seeing Eye Dogs general manager Graeme Craig said it was great to see such an important cause getting such strong support. “Our partnership with the Petbarn Foundation is integral to raising funds so that even more Seeing Eye Dogs pups can complete the extensive training they require,” Mr Craig said. “We’re overwhelmed with how much has been raised for this year’s appeal. “It takes a lot of expertise, time, love, patience and funding to raise these special dogs that will one day provide the git of independence. “For the right person, these highly trained dogs help them move conidently and navigate obstacles with much more reliability and safety.”

It’s up to all of us to keep each other safe. You must continue to practise good hygiene, physical distancing, and if you’re even slightly unwell, get tested and stay at home. Don’t risk it. The sooner we all do it, the sooner we’ll get through it. Have the App Visit australia.gov.au

Life in lockdown

(Pictures: Damjan Janevski) 213495

Caroline Springs residents have adapted to unprecedented times and are learning to live within the rules as life in lockdown continues. Star Weekly photographer Damjan Janevski recently captured these photographs around the suburb.

Contaminated soil from the Westgate Tunnel Project could be dumped in our area if a proposal by Cleanaway, operators of the Melbourne Regional Landfill, is approved.

This means that 2,900,000 metric tonnes of contaminated soil would be taken to the Ravenhall landfill site, which neighbours Caroline Springs, Burnside, Rockbank, Mount Cottrell, Albanvale, and Deer Park. It would add 460 truck movements to local roads every day, for 16-18 months. Thatâ€™s one every three minutes! STOP THE SOIL is a joint campaign by Melton and Brimbank councils that lets decision-makers know that our communities donâ€™t want contaminated soil stored at Ravenhall.

Cr Lara Carli This month, I took the opportunity to advocate for our city’s urgent funding needs in meetings with representatives from state political parties as part of Interface Week 2020. The discussions were positive, and centred around our unique needs as such a fast growing area. I know that priorities such as constructing the Melton Hospital, upgrading the Western Highway, upgrading Melton Highway, and electrification of the Melton line would not only improve liveability in the City of Melton but would create long-term jobs and investment for the west. At the council meeting last week, sadly, we made the difficult decision to not proceed with Djerriwarrh Festival and Lakeside Alive in 2020 due to the current status of the COVID-19 crisis. We are very disappointed that we’re unable to hold these events this year, however we need to prioritise the health and safety of our festival

attendees, staff, volunteers, community groups and school groups who help make these events possible, and we of course look forward to enjoying these events together in 2021. Thank you again to those supporting our Stop the Soil campaign in which we’re asking the state government and Transurban not to dump contaminated West Gate Tunnel soil at the Melbourne Regional Landfill, which is located in our area. The facility neighbours Caroline Springs, Burnside, Rockbank, and Mount Cottrell where we know many families live and work.

Most of us are re-thinking life and what’s precious, and how to make the best of things. here’s no doubt that coronavirus has necessitated a degree of creativity, and Father’s Day is no diferent. Here are some ideas about how to make dad king for the day – whether you’re physically distanced or not:

A “Dear Dad” hamper Get online and ind out who delivers in your area. Choose stuf you know he loves – many stores ofer personalised curation of items, up to a point. hink about brekkie items that can be turned into dad’s breakfast in bed or brunch with the family – and throw in a cheeky bottle of local gin or crat beer for later. Whether delivery is to the address you share with dad, or farther aield, this is a git designed to please. And it will support a local business.

Zoom into concert If Zoom is the only way for kids to connect with dad or grandpa on his day, get them to put on a concert especially for him. He’ll love it, and it keeps conined kids occupied in the lead-up with rehearsals and/or costumes as well. his works for at-home dads as well.

Write an old-school letter Everyone can get on board with this, whether dad lives at home or far away. It takes time and thought to express feelings in writing, then to buy a stamp and post it, a fact that won’t be

Have some fun with dad this Father’s Day. (iStock)

lost on the recipient. Littlies could contribute drawings. A letter can become not only a treasured keepsake, but a future reminder of when COVID-19 ruled our lives and we all had to become more resourceful.

A Feast the Family will Love

Like everyone, dads need a good dose of fun to counteract the pandemic’s serious tone, so why not make his day a bit crazy? Crack out the streamers, balloons, funny

hats, poppers, whistles and sparklers (if letover Christmas bonbons with their dad-jokes are lurking somewhere, get them out too) and get dad’s fave tunes pumping. Diferent? Silly? Yes, but oh the memories…

Volkswagen crosses it’s Ts By Ewan Kennedy, Motoring

AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE

Volkswagen’s T-Cross is a small vehicle that’s the German company’s irst entrant in the compact SUV segment. It follows the “T” naming of other VWs – Tiguan, Tiguan Allspace and Touareg. he “Cross” on the name indicates that it’s a crossover rather than a SUV, being aimed at tough urban running rather than bush bashing. Volkswagen T-Cross is sold in two versions, 85TSI Life ($27,990) and 85TSI Style ($30,990). he Life rides on16-inch Rochester alloys, the Style gets 17-inch Bangalore alloys.

T-Cross Life 1.0-litre turbo-petrol: $27,900 T-Cross Style 1.0-litre turbo-petrol: $30,990

Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges. Contact your local Volkswagen dealer for drive-away prices.

Driving

We ind the styling very simple and unfussed in the German fashion, with few frills and no unnecessary curves.

Interior Sharpish edges that aren’t overdone are also a neat feature. he materials are to a high standard, as they should be because this little German is priced quite high when compared with its Asian and Japanese competitors. Seating is good for four adults (ive is a real squeeze. he seats in the T-Cross Life are comfortable for long trips, we haven’t had a chance to get my backside into a Style which is said to have sportier seats. Boot space is larger than you would expect and the rear backrest 60:40 backrests fold almost fully lat to give extra versatility. Interestingly you can slide the back seats forward to increase luggage capacity.

Infotainment Standard in the Life are an eight-inch Composition Media setup with six speakers,

Sharp lines of the new Volkswagen T-Cross work well and distinguish it from others in this increasingly crowded class. (Supplied)

App-Connect, wireless charging and four USB ports. he screen is large and easy to see with a minimum of distraction and has extra large dials when you set it to the driving eiciency mode. Sound quality is very good without being in any way outstanding.

Engines / transmissions he T-Cross is powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that puts out 85kW and 200Nm through a seven-speed DSG transmission to the front wheels. he Style model has steering wheel gearshit paddles.

Safety Both models are bang up to date with numerous safety features: he Life has a rear view camera, automatically dimming rear-view mirror, front assist with city emergency braking, pedestrian and cyclist monitoring, lane assist, driver fatigue detection, parking sensors with manoeuvre braking, front foglights with static cornering lights, automatic headlight on, rain sensing windscreen wiper, and low pressure tyre indicator. To this, the T-Cross Style variant adds light assist, automatic high beam, adaptive cruise control and blind sport monitor.

12439677-FA05-20

Styling

Engine response is a letdown when you move of the line. he stop/start isn’t as fast to kick in as we like and then there’s some turbo lag. We did ind ourselves adapting to this as our test week went on, so its likely owners will learn to get the best from it. Once you’re up and running its ine, with only a hint of turbo lag. he engine is quiet and has a nice purr when you’re cruising, with a purposeful note when you want to get serious. It handles nicely without being in any way sporting. Steering is irm and the feedback is just about right. Fuel consumption was in the ive to six litres per hundred in easy paced country driving, rising to eight to nine litres per hundred kilometres in city and suburban running. A further Volkswagen “T” model, the T-Roc, is scheduled to arrive Downunder later in 2020 to complete the line-up.
