Rush for COVID-19 jab By Tara Murray Brimbank residents have turned out in force to COVID-19 testing and vaccination sites as Victorians experience their fourth lockdown. With the number of active coronavirus cases growing and a list of more than 270 exposure sites, Victorians have been encouraged to get tested or if eligible, get the vaccine. As of Sunday, there were no active COVID-19 cases in Brimbank, but there was one in post code 3037, which includes Calder Park, Delahey, Hillside, Sydenham and Taylors Hill and is part of the Melton local government area. There was one tier two exposure site in Brimbank added on Sunday night.

Anyone who was at the German Shepherd Dog Club of Victoria western branch at Green Gully Reserve in Keilor Downs on May 23 between 9.15am and 11.20am must get tested and isolate until they get a negative result. There are a number of exposure sites in neighbouring municipalities including Maribyrnong, Wyndham and Hume. Western Health, which has both testing and vaccination sites at the Sunshine Hospital and the Melbourne showgrounds, has reported high numbers for both services. Both sites recorded multiple days of more than 2000 people receiving the vaccine, with walk-in appointments at times exhausted. Last Thursday, the state government announced that people aged 40-49 would be eligible for vaccinations at state-run clinics Acting Premier James Merlino urged everyone who is eligible to be vaccinated to make an appointment as soon as possible. “The only way through this pandemic is for people to get vaccinated as soon as they are eligible,” he said. Record numbers of people have turned out across the state to get tested, with waiting

No rate relief for Kealba residents By Tara Murray There will be no rate relief for Brimbank residents affected by the long-running underground fires at the Kealba landfill. Many residents living near the fires, which have been burning for more than 18 months, can’t use their backyards or go outside due to the smell, and for some, associated health impacts. At least one resident has written to the council asking for rates to be suspended, while another asked about the possibility of rates being decreased at the most recent council meeting.

But mayor Ranka Rasic said rates legislation did not allow the council to make changes to rates for individual properties. The Barro Group recently admitted the fires could burn for another 12 months, well beyond the Environment Protection Authority’s (EPA) deadline of July 31 this year. In a statement last week, the EPA said it had refused the Barro Group’s application to extend the date for extinguishing the hot spots. Cr Rasic said the council remained concerned for the community, and that a solution needs to be found fast. “To have the hot spot issue continuing for

years on end is unacceptable, and it’s extremely frustrating that the Barro Group that operates the landfill will not commit to resolving these issues by the date set out by the EPA,” she said. “Council has written months ago to the landfill operator, the EPA and the minister for energy, environment and climate change, flagging the need for a resolution to the ongoing landfill hot spots. “Brimbank council has also been calling for action, including an independent investigation into the management of this ongoing issue and a speedy resolution of the issue, and it is frustrating that the matter is still not resolved.

“This wouldn’t happen in the east so why is it allowed to happen here in the west? We look to the EPA to take strong action to force compliance by the landfill operator.” Western Metropolitan MP Catherine Cumming raised the issue of the fires in Parliament last week. On behalf of Kealba resident Maria Marshall, she asked Energy, Environment and Climate Change Minister Lily D’Ambrosio whether the state government would ensure the Barro Group is fined for non-compliance and whether more measures will be taken to extinguish the fires as soon as possible.

Orange Door to open in Sunshine

Help spread warmth this winter Winter has only just begun and Helping Hand Mission op shops are already struggling to keep up with the demand for winter stock. Helping Hand Mission, which has six op shops including in Sunshine and Roxburgh Park, has a lack of winter clothes, shoes and linen and is calling for donations to help those who are less fortunate. Chief executive Melanie Kent said they had never seen demand like this before in the nearly 15 years the mission has been running. “We normally gain our resources in the opposite seasons,” she said.

“We normally get our winter stuff at the start of summer and stock bags and bags. “This is the first time we’ve had to put our hand up and say we want help. “Our issue is, we’re not even in winter and we’re running out of winter stock.” Ms Kent said they had received a large amount of stock after last year’s lockdown, but the demand for items hadn’t dropped over the past seven months. “We’re operating with record sales,” she said. Ms Kent said they had heard other op shops had significant winter stock and couldn’t take

any more. She said she wanted people to know Helping Hand was still taking donations. Items needed include warm clothes, pyjamas, children’s clothes and linen. Helping Hand is also in need of heaters, which will be checked as part of the organisation’s test and tag program. Ms Kent said they would take donations at all their stores and would be happy to pick up donations from people who can’t drop them off. Details: 1300 892 010

The Orange Door Network’s Brimbank and Melton service is expected to open later this year in Sunshine. The state government announced last week that a lease had been signed in Sunshine for the service’s primary site. The Orange Door Network is an Australian-first initiative that brings together workers from specialist family violence, child and family, Aboriginal and men’s services in one location. The Sunshine site will be supported by access points, outpost services and outreach services to ensure residents across the region have the support they need, close to home. The local expansion of the Orange Door Network follows a $1.2 million state government investment in crisis accommodation and specialist support for people experiencing family violence and sexual assault in Brimbank and Melton. The network is already operating in eight regions across the state. There have been more than 140,000 referrals, including 55,000 for children, since the network was launched in 2018. Prevention of Family Violence Minister Gabrielle Williams said the network ensures people experiencing family violence can get the co-ordinated support they need. St Albans MP Natalie Suleyman said: “This Orange Door will make a real difference for women and families in the region – ensuring they can access the family violence and wellbeing support they need, when they need it – close to home”.

Brimbank council is part of the largest ever emissions reduction project by the local government in Australia. Forty-six Victorian councils are part of the Victorian Energy Collaboration which was announced last month. By pooling their energy contracts, the partnership is hoping to power 45 per cent of all Victorian council electricity with renewables, reducing greenhouse emissions by 260,000 tonnes of C02-e every year. Red Energy will provide the group 240GWh of clean power every year - the equivalent to powering 48,000 homes. The VECO is expected to save councils up to 35 per cent on their electricity bills, based on current costs.

Uncovering a talent Shirley Yeates had never folded a book before lockdown. Now it’s her new special talent. The resident at Arcare in Sydenham was named the Victorian residential winner of Arcare’s inaugural talent quest competition. Ms Yeates said she tried a few different things during lockdown and this was one that she fell in love with. Book folding involves folding the pages of books to create art. “Having just settled into Arcare, the coronavirus came along and turned my life and everybody’s upside down,” she said. “I kept myself occupied and positive by starting all sorts of projects – from card making and knitting through to flower making. “Eventually, I found book folding. I had never attempted book folding before so I searched

the internet, Pinterest and YouTube and found some patterns that I could follow. “Although I found the craft challenging and requiring a lot of precision, it was great fun and a great distraction from what was going on in the world outside.” Ms Yeates said the folded books were a real hit with other residents and at one time she was taking orders. She was encouraged by the staff to enter the competition. A panel picked the three best pieces in each category, before a social media vote decided the winner. “There were so many worthy entries and to be named the winner was very overwhelming and humbling,” Ms Yeates said.

Back to school Twins Colby and Sebastian, and Rania and Dania, were among the excited pupils starting school at Furlong Park School for Deaf Children last week. The school reopened for 2021 on Thursday and there was plenty of fun for the two sets of twins and their school friends. Colby and Sebastian, 8, and Rania and Dania, 6, are two of three sets of twins at the school this year. The school has about 65 students. A third set of twins will start on February 11 and will be part of the school’s early years program. Principal Lee Bullock said it was possibly the first time the school had welcomed three sets of twins.

Confidence that our creeks aren’t going to be polluted.” He suggests forming a steering committee which would include the EPA, WorkSafe, MFB and council representatives to have a co-ordinated approach to industry clean-up. “I don’t think questions are being asked on Spring Street as often as they should.” He also proposed government funding to help bring old industrial estates up to the 21st century and the introduction of better air quality monitoring systems.

There have been at least eight factory, waste management or tip fires across the west and Hume since October, while the Kealba landfill has had underground fires burning continuously for more than a year. Former LeadWest chief executive Craig Rowley and former state MLC member Colleen Hartland say enough is enough. “It’s a long-running issue,” Mr Rowley said. “It doesn’t matter which party has been in power at the time, they haven’t done enough clean-up of the west.

“The urgency to clean it [industry] up has never been greater.” Mr Rowley said during his time with LeadWest, from 2010-18, one of the biggest concerns raised by local councils was the need for a cleaner, greener and more liveable western metropolitan area. “We were constantly talking about it with the other tiers of government, about the investment needed in the west to make it cleaner and greener. “It just seems that it is taking a long time to get there.” Mr Rowley said an Environment Protection Act, which changes how the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) regulates pollution, waste and contamination in Victoria, had been

Call for share in budget cash By Tara Murray A local group which provides scholarships to young people is among those seeking funding in Brimbank council’s budget. A representative from Western Chances was one of nine people to present to councillors at last week’s budget committee meeting. Western Chances chief executive Zac Lewis said the group was hoping the council would contribute $30,000 over three years to help provide scholarships to young people in the municipality.

Mr Lewis said their aim was to try and provide pathways for students through their secondary years and then either into a tertiary study or skills based, TAFE-based pathways. “At our heart is about empowering young people,” he said. “Brimbank is our largest catchment of students. Forty-nine per cent of our scholarship students reside in Brimbank, each year we fund students for small items that will have a big impact. “Last year we funded about 770 students and 367 were from Brimbank, we have seen a really big need in Brimbank.”

Mr Lewis said they had already seen a 10 per cent increase this year in young people seeking scholarships following the COVID-19 pandemic. “Melbourne’s west was the epicentre of COVID throughout last year,” he said. “It has had such a large flow-on effect on employment, especially youth employment. We know skills are more important than ever.” Mr Lewis said they had approached all six western suburbs councils to provide funding. He said any money contributed by a council would go to students who live in that municipality.

“Over the last three years, we’ve invested over a $1 million in the city of Brimbank, to fund scholarships of students in secondary and tertiary. “There’s the belief and confidence they gain from having an organisation support them and we would love to partner with the council to help continue to do that..” Other groups seeking money in the budget include U3A Brimbank, Friends of the McKay Gardens, Kororoit Creek Neighbourhood House, Friends of Sydenham Park and the Brimbank Bicycle Centre.

Target on rogue dumpers “Unfortunately, when this waste is dumped on private property it becomes a burden on landowners to clear,” she said. “Likewise, if it’s dumped at parks or road reserves, council is left to deal with it.” While welcoming changes to the Environmental Protection Act that will help regulate waste disposal, Cr Vandenberg would like to see increased monitoring from the EPA and firmer action against operators found to be illegally dumping rubbish. “I’ve proposed that council investigate the introduction of a licensing and monitoring system that would include requiring operators to be licensed and to provide evidence of how the waste was disposed of,” she said. Residents who see dumping occur are urged to record any details including licence plate numbers and report it to the EPA if it’s on private land and council if it’s on parks and road reserves.

Rogue operators illegally dropping waste are exploiting legal loopholes, according to a frustrated councillor. Melton councillor Ashleigh Vandenberg is campaigning for more powers to tackle waste removal cowboys flouting what she sees as a lax monitoring system. Cr Vandenberg warned that rubbish dumping is a serious environmental concern that can pose health risks to the community. “A growing amount of construction waste is being dumped on public and private properties which could potentially lead to contamination issues,” she said. Under current state legislation, waste removal operators are not required to be licensed and don’t have to provide any evidence of proper waste disposal. Cr Vandenberg said some rogue operators appear to be exploiting this by dumping rubbish that they should be taking to a recycling facility.

Record sale in Albanvale By Tara Murray A six-bedroom ‘mansion’ in Albanvale has sold for $1 million, the largest residential property sale in the suburb, stunning a local real estate agent. The property on Opie Road sold last month, the first residential property in the suburb to sell for seven figures. Only a double property in Wintersun Drive, which had a three bedroom house and a shop, has sold for more. It sold for $1,050,000 in 2018. Stockdale and Leggo St Albans-Sunshine’s

Bill Damianos said he was pleasantly surprised by the sale last month. The average median house price in Albanvale is currently $547,000. “I had seen one sell for about $845,000 in the same street a couple of months ago that was fully renovated,” he said. “This one needs a lot more work. To get about $155,000 on top of that is quite an achievement. “It was well above the reserves and the vendor was extremely excited and so was I.” The house includes a grand foyer entrance with cathedral ceilings and spiral staircase, six bedrooms with built-in robes, a master

bedroom with en suite and private balcony, a spa bath, two enormous lounge areas, separate meals room adjoining the kitchen and room for 10 vehicles. There is also the potential to build units behind the house. Mr Damianos said generally Albanvale was a hidden gem that many people didn’t know about. He said the one downside of the area was a lack of public transport. “It’s a secluded pocket and affordable on most levels,” he said. “It’s the same postcode as St Albans. “A lot of people don’t know about it and it’s a

good location other than no public transport. “It’s an area that is between a couple of suburbs that haven’t taken off, “Kings Park is gradually improving with Burnside and the suburbs nearby growing. Deer Park is on the other side.” Mr Damianos said he was expecting house prices in suburbs along Ballarat Road to start to increase, with the corridor one of the biggest growing in Australia. He said that real estate agents have seen an unexpected rise in house prices across Victoria following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ditched trolley crackdown Melton council is cracking down on abandoned trolleys, forcing owners to pay for their return or sending them to be destroyed. Responding to a recent notion of motion by Cr Bob Turner, councillors have voted to support a “hardline” approach in a bid to stop trolleys being ditched in local parks and streets. This would include conducting daily patrols of all commercial activity centres between 7am and 9am. Council officers would impound any trolleys they located and charge their owners a $95 release fee. Any trolleys not collected within a week would attract an additional $100 fine and the trolley – each valued about $400 – would be sent to the crusher for recycling. A patrol in February of streets within one to two kilometres of the area’s shopping centres and along the length of main roads such as Caroline Springs Boulevard and High Street

on Melton located 60 abandoned trolleys. Of these, 24 were recovered by their owners and the remaining 36 were impounded by council. A council report found the current “self-management approach” has not been effective in reducing the number of trolleys left on council-owned land. “Considering this, it is recommended that council increase enforcement activities,” the report stated. The enforcement and administration of shopping trolley impoundments would cost the council about $40,000 in extra patrols and would require about $7500 to purchase a purpose-built trailer to collect and dispose of the abandoned trolleys. “The above expenditure would be offset from income derived by infringement notices issued for unclaimed trolleys and/or release fees for impounded trolleys,” the report stated.

Youth Junction, said that in his time in the role, he found there was clearly a substance issue in Brimbank. Youth Junction chief executive Jo Malcolm-Black said she was surprised by Cr Clarke’s comments and the drawing on his time at Youth Junction as evidence of a need for a safe injecting room in Brimbank. “Youth Junction clients are drawn from around the western part of Melbourne,” she said. “The Youth Junction data cohort is small from a population health perspective and certainly shouldn’t be drawn upon to be

making policy decisions about Brimbank. “Young people in Brimbank do have drug dependencies, but so do young people in Braybrook, Footscray and Keilor. “Drug dependencies are a significant social problem that traverses local government areas. I wish anecdotally to reassure the community that Brimbank is not significantly different than its neighbours.” Ms Malcolm-Black said the state government had only confirmed a new injecting facility in Melbourne. She said these facilities will meet a currently

unmet need, and the organisation supports policies which focus on harm minimisation around drug use. “The Youth Junction supports young people across Melbourne around creating and enabling paths and choices which engage and connect them with the community. “I understand that a significant amount of preparation and due diligence is completed before the government makes recommendations as to the locations of these facilities, including the data required to support recommendations.”

Sports academy grows For many students at Lakeview Senior College, football and soccer run hand-in-hand with their studies. The college runs AFL and Soccer academy programs at the Caroline Springs school, offering students an opportunity to develop their skills in years 10, 11 and 12 within both VCE and VCAL education programs. Football co-ordinator Michael Pisani said the program continues to develop each year. The school has recently expanded its strength and conditioning area, which includes commercial grade equipment, available for use in classes and before and after school. “We want to get the best out of athletes,” Mr Pisani said. “We develop the students to help them achieve what they want to. Some have gone on to play AFL and A-League and done really well. Some just want to be the best local footballer.” Collingwood’s Will Hoskin-Elliott,

Hawthorn’s James Sicily and North Melbourne’s Tristan Xerri, along with Melbourne Victory’s Maja Markovski and Western United’s Dalibor Markovic have all attended the school. The school also has a partnership with NAB League club the Western Jets, with students in both the club’s girls and boys teams. Students apply for the program which is open to children who live in and outside their catchment area. As well as having state-of-the-art equipment, the program also has a big focus on personal development offering sessions with a sports psychologist and a strength and conditioning coach. Mr Pisani said the school was hoping to expand the program further and would love to get more girls involved. Details: Michael.Pisani@education.vic.gov.au Tara Murray

Call to heritage-list Albion By Tara Murray A community group wants Brimbank council’s heritage advisory committee to consider submitting a proposal for Albion and a group of similar cities to be World Heritage listed. The Albion and Ardeer Community Club has submitted questions to the past two council meetings about the matter. Council has previously considered having Albion heritage listed, but the club believes the history of Albion and other cities with similar history to be significant enough to be looked at collectively. Just 20 sites in Australia are listed on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and

Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) World Heritage List including the Sydney Opera House, the Great Barrier Reef and Uluru. The community club’s Neil Head said Albion is one of just a few original garden cities in existence in Australia. Mr Head said garden cities were popular in England before making their way to Australia. The garden city movement was a method of urban planning in which self-contained communities were built surrounded by “greenbelts”, containing proportionate areas of residences, industry, and agriculture. HV McKay set up the garden city of Albion to give local workers somewhere to live. “Albion is a classic example,” Mr Head said.

“They built the factories and then laid out a suburb around them with large areas of open space such as Selwyn Park and the HV McKay Gardens.” Mr Head said these areas are very rare in Australia and that grouping these cities together and heritage listing them would ensure their historical features were preserved into the future. “Collectively these areas are very rare,” Mr Head said. “We want to look at this in partnership with the other garden cities. There were only a few built in Australia in the 1900s. “There are only a few laid out, there’s one in Sydney and one in Adelaide.” In response to the club’s questions, Brimbank

mayor Ranka Rasic said the council’s heritage advisor would speak about the issue at the next heritage advisory committee meeting. “The process to prepare a proposal for UNESCO World Heritage is substantial and the council can confirm that a submission for Albion is not part of the council’s current work program or budget,” she said. Mr Head said the club was yet to approach the other garden cities about the proposal. He said the decision to instigate the heritage listing was related to the recently released proposed plans for the Melbourne Airport rail link. “We want the airport [rail] folks to be careful with what they are going to install in the middle of a heritage suburb.”

VU students put their hacking skills to the test Victoria University cyber security students pitted their skills against students from across the country in a virtual scavenger hunt. Students from 10 TAFEs did battle in the competition, in which participants worked in teams and individually to collect points by capturing hidden flags, which could be disguised as an unusual snippet of code, a piece of hardware or a suspicious network. The VU Polytechnic team, which was based at VU’s state-of-the-art Cisco Cyber Security Centre at the St Albans campus, finished first in Victoria and second in Australia. VU Polytechnic head of cyber and digital transformation Jo Cave said the challenge gave students a taste of a real working environment where they’ll need to defend systems from attacks. “It was not only educational but also fun.” A new national body, TAFE Cyber, organised the contest to promote the booming cyber security profession, which has a critical shortage of trained cyber security professionals at all levels. VU Polytechnic contestants are studying a certificate IV in cyber security, one of the Victorian government’s free TAFE programs. Ms Cave said about 35 per cent of graduates from VU Polytechnic’s course are women – well above industry standard. Challenge participant Ximena Riveros, 42, worked in the software industry before joining the course. “I saw this as a way to expand my skills in an area that is growing every day. Anyone interested in the course doesn’t need a technical background because you learn as you go.” Tara Murray

A ‘razor gang’ decision to make the state government entirely responsible for health and welfare allocations was strongly condemned this week by the President of the Deer Park Community Health Services committee, Mr Domenic Andreacchio.

“It is a day of sorrow for soccer in the western suburbs,” said Sunshine George Cross secretary Alf Zahara just after he heard that his club had been excluded from the 1991-92 National Soccer League.

The first wave of the 130 jobs losses took effect at Sunshine printer Diamond Press last Friday, with more to come in the next two weeks.

Western Suburbs patients could face longer waiting times for important surgery, wait longer in overcrowded emergency departments and be forced to get treatment at hospitals further away as demand for services threaten to overwhelm supply.

Deer Park IGA store steps up

As the new owner of Deer Park IGA, Hitesh Palta has woven his magic to completely revamp the formerly rundown store to a level guaranteed to impress customers. An old hand at revitalising businesses in poor shape, Hitesh has transformed all aspects of the IGA supermarket with the aim of elevating the shopping experience, giving customers old and new a genuine reason to support their local community-oriented shop. “We’ve changed everything,” Hitesh says. “We’ve added a whole new aisle, with shelves brimming with products, more than 2000 of which are new lines. “Customers will find items from India, Korea, Brazil and Britain in the new international section, and our fresh produce section is bright and fresh with a range to rival the bigger supermarkets. “As well, our liquor department has been stepped up with the addition of 150 new lines, including a specialty high-end range of whiskeys – perfect for the aficionado or gift giver.

sleep conditions. Unlike the other common impairments – primary insomnia and Restless Legs Syndrome – in OSA, sufferers may not have difficulty falling asleep, however, explains Sleep Disorders Australia, the brain which also usually rests during normal sleep, has to wake up constantly to manage air intake. Reducing weight and increasing exercise; limiting alcohol and other stimulants; and keeping the bedroom quiet and free of electronic devices, may in some cases, help arrest sleep afflictions. For sufferers of insomnia in particular, experts recommend Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, the “gold standard treatment,” says Sleep Health Foundation chairperson, Dorothy Bruck. Further treatments for OSA include mouth guards, adjusting sleep positions, surgery or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy – wearing a mask with a tube that keeps the airways open during sleep.

Sleep is regarded as vital to good health, yet many Australians forgo proper rest for a variety of reasons. According to the Sleep Health Foundation, one in four people are sleep impaired which can lead to, among other things, car and workplace accidents, dementia, irritability and problems with relationships. Indeed, the nation’s sleep problem is so large, it is costing Australia more than $60 billion, economists report. Disability care worker, Jenni A*, found she was tired all the time, despite having a regular sleep routine, but didn’t realise its significance. “I was yawning at work, forgetting things and not functioning well, even falling asleep at traffic lights,” she says. Eventually on-going breathlessness, soaring blood pressure, lack of energy, weight gain and swelling limbs took Jenni to her doctor, who found her symptoms were related to oxygen deprivation from Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Caused by breathing blockages during sleep, it’s one of Australia’s most prevalent

Don’t be blind to glaucoma Glaucoma is a common eye problem that causes vision loss and, if untreated, can cause blindness. Usually the deterioration is very gradual and not noticeable, so regular eye examinations are recommended for people from middle age. Once detected, glaucoma can be treated to prevent or delay further vision damage. Unfortunately, while it can be managed, glaucoma can’t be prevented.

Glaucoma symptoms Most people with glaucoma have few to no symptoms until their eyesight is damaged. People with angle closure glaucoma can get blurred vision, pain and a red eye, and might see haloes around bright lights. They can also feel nauseous, with headaches and vomiting. This is an emergency and you should seek treatment straight away so you don’t lose vision. You are at higher risk of developing glaucoma if you: • have a close relative with glaucoma • have high eye pressure • are over 50 • are short-sighted or long-sighted • use cortisone (steroid) medications for long periods • have diabetes • have high or low blood pressure • have migraine headaches • have had an eye operation or eye injury

How is glaucoma diagnosed? An optometrist or ophthalmologist (specialist eye doctor) can detect it early on if you have regular eye examinations every two to three years. They will look at the nerve fibres and the structure of the eye drainage network, test the

Who is at risk?

field of vision and measure the eye pressure. This examination will take 20 to 45 minutes. If you are of African or Asian descent, these regular examinations should start at age 40. Otherwise, you should start them at age 50.

How is it treated? If you have angle-closure glaucoma, treatment will need to be provided quickly to reduce the

pressure. This may be done with eye drops or intravenous medication. Nerve cells damaged by glaucoma can’t be repaired. Treatment is designed to prevent or slow further damage, mainly by reducing the pressure in the eye. This involves: • eye drops or medicine • laser surgery or other surgery to open or create a new drainage channel

Glaucoma surgery is usually a day or outpatient procedure. You might have a local anaesthetic (such as eye drops) or a general anaesthetic. Your surgeon will explain to you the preferred type of surgery and anaesthetic for your condition. Source: www.healthdirect.gov.au

21 BRIMBANK & NORTHWEST STAR WEEKLY Tuesday, 1 June, 2021

SPORT COVID wreaks havoc on sport By Tara Murray Local sporting clubs found themselves on the sidelines once again at weekend after the Victorian government’s snap covid lockdown put games and training on hold for at least seven days. As well as scheduled weekend games, many clubs had functions that have now been cancelled or postponed. The Essendon District Football League suffered a scare last week, when a Moonee Valley thirds player tested positive to COVID-19. The player played in the Fog’s match against Hillside last Saturday. There were also two women’s matches and a club function at the ground on that day. The Department of Health has listed Ormond Park as an exposure site, with three different classifications.

Anyone who was in the change rooms between noon-4pm or was at the club’s ladies day function between 4-6pm on Saturday, May 22 must get tested and isolate for 14 days. Anyone who was at the ground between noon and 5.30pm on the same day must get tested and isolate until they return a negative result. All Sharks players involved in that game were sent for tests on Tuesday afternoon. “Moonee Valley and Hillside have been one step ahead of the contact tracers,” Hillside president Sebastian Buccheri said. The EDFL is yet to officially release details about what will happen with the postponed round, with some players possibly still in isolation. The Western Region and Northern football leagues issued releases saying that all clubs had been told pre-season that if a round was to be

cancelled, it wouldn’t be played at a later date. The Riddell District Football League told clubs that a decision on whether matches were cancelled or postponed would be made over the coming days. Football Victoria, on its website, said it expected that all currently scheduled fixtures and competitions will be completed in full, with matches impacted by lockdown to be rearranged as quickly as possible. Both the National Premier League and state league competitions have catch-up rounds scheduled. Basketball Victoria said the Big V matches from this weekend would be rescheduled, while the Victorian Junior Basketball League would be cancelled, with no catch-up dates. Netball Victoria’s online statement didn’t make mention of catch-up matches.

Falcons win mental battle The City West Falcons overcame several days of uncertainty to claim an important win against the Casey Demons in the Victorian Netball League championship division. With talk of the state being plunged into a lockdown, the Falcons at one stage thought round six of the competition wouldn’t go ahead last Wednesday. The game did eventually go ahead, albeit at a different stadium, with the Falcons winning 64-62. Falcons coach Marg Lind said the biggest battle had been keeping the playing group mentally switched on. “We didn’t expect to play,” she said. “We were a bit frazzled and it was hard to keep everyone on track as we expected to be in lockdown. “We did really well and stayed on track.” Lind said they were happy with the win, but said it could have been a bigger against a side that always performs strongly. She said any opposition team that has Emma Ryde is always a chance. Lind said while there weren’t any standouts for the Falcons on court, she was pleased with the leadership of shooter Jane Cook. “She showed some really good leadership,” Lind said. “At times when we were looking a bit frazzled, she continued to be really engaged and telling the girls to be patient. “She was really vocal saying one more pass and not to force it. It was a big step forward in her on court development.” Lind said she was really pleased with the side’s form - they are sitting second with five wins and a draw. She said they used the rolling sub better in the match against the Demons and Sarah Szczykulski returned from injury in a big boost for the side. It was a big night for the Falcons, with all three of its teams winning on the same night for the first time this season. The under-19s won 47-32 and the division 1 team won 48-46. “We’ve put a lot of faith in both of these teams,” Lind said. “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy, especially early. Those wins put us back in the mix.” The Falcons were due to play Aerials on Sunday, but that match was postponed due to a snap COVID-19 lockdown. As was a match against ladder leaders Melbourne University on Wednesday. Lind said they would look to have some online training sessions during lockdown. “We were meant to have three games in seven days to try and get the schedule in,” she said. “It’s really going to affect things and we’ll be expecting to prepare for weeks later in the season with two games a week. 22 BRIMBANK & NORTHWEST STAR WEEKLY Tuesday, 1 June, 2021

Keilor is more than happy with its 6-1 record after a less than ideal start to the Essendon District Football League premier division season. The Blues, who sit second and only percentage behind Strathmore, have had their fair share of injuries and availability issues. Blues coach Mick McGuane said they had already used more players in seven rounds than they had for all of the 2019 season. “A lot of key personnel haven’t been available. We seem to get one back and then lose two during a game,” he said. “Our forward line is yet to play together. “We’ve played Strathmore, Greenvale, Aberfeldie, Maribyrnong Park and Pascoe Vale, which are teams that we think are going to be around the mark. “In the loss we had, as good as Avondale Heights was, there was a reason for the hiccup.” Just eight players have played every game for the Blues. Dean Galea, Todd Stevenson, Nick O’Kearney, Andrew Browne, Patrick Veszpremi and Jesse Wallin are among those who have missed games. McGuane said the week off due to a snap COVID lockdown would give the players another week to recover. “It bodes well for when we get everyone back,” he said. “The challenge when we do get them back, is how many do we bring back in one game?” The run of injuries and unavailabilities means that not for the first time, McGuane has had to go into his bag of tricks. A number of players have been thrown around in different positions, while some younger players get their opportunities. “Brad Xavier has been quite important after a slow start and Riley Ham is the same,” McGuane said. “Issy [David Isbister] had an injury that held him back, but the last six quarters of footy he has found some form. “Mitch Ellis is a good example of someone taking his opportunity. He missed out the first few weeks and hasn’t missed a beat since.”
