Virus numbers rise By Tate Papworth Brimbank recorded nine new cases of COVID-19 over the weekend. A second staf member at the Joan Kirner Women and Children’s Hospital also tested positive for the virus. he Department of Health and Human Services said the worker was a close contact of a known case who was already in quarantine. Last week Star Weekly reported two patients and 16 staf members were forced into home isolation ater the irst positive result. It brings the total number of active cases in Brimbank to 57 with an overall total of 161. In a bid to quell the spread of the virus, Premier Daniel Andrews last week imposed a stay at home lockdown upon a number of Brimbank suburbs. Police looded Brimbank postcodes 3038, 3012, 3042 and 3021 as oicers set up checkpoints at high traic areas to ensure people had a valid reason for leaving closed suburbs. Mounted police and foot patrols were also highly visible. Residents within these postcodes have been ordered to stay at home unless they are shopping for food and supplies, out for medical care and caregiving, exercise and study or work. On-the-spot ines will be issued for anyone outside for any other reason. Cafes and restaurants are only open for take-away and delivery services and a number of council facilities and services have been forced back into closure. Victoria’s chief health oicer Brett Sutton urged all members of the community to adhere to the rules and to get tested. “Victorians in these locked down suburbs are being urged to do their bit in the ight against coronavirus – stick to the rules and get to a testing station,” Professor Sutton said. “his virus is not selective, it will impact anyone it encounters, and personal contact is the clear source of its transmission. “here is no excuse for not getting tested. We have people knocking on your door, coming to your neighbourhood – we are bringing the testing to you. here are also several drive-through and ixed sites where people can go.”

Backyard dig for cold case clues By Tate Papworth Police last week began excavating an Ardeer property in the hope of cracking the decades-old cold case of missing mother Veronica Green. However the dig failed to return the clues police were hoping for. Ms Green was last seen on February 13, 1976 at the family home in Ardeer and was reported missing by her husband two days later. She was 38 at the time of her disappearance and would now be 84. Last week, detectives from the Brimbank
Crime Investigation Unit began searching the yard of the Ardeer property where Ms Green lived with her husband and two daughters. Over the years, detectives have made a number of inquiries and investigated several reported sightings of Ms Green but none have been conirmed. All her possessions were let at her home and she has not contacted any family members in 44 years. Police have not ruled out foul play. Detective Sergeant Allan Wood said the hope was to ind answers for Ms Green’s family. “We are keeping an open mind regarding
the investigation. However, Veronica’s disappearance is considered to be suspicious,” Detective Sergeant Wood said. “We are hoping to ind anything to give us an indication of what might have happened to Veronica. “We can’t rule out the possibility that we might ind human remains as well.” he excavation is expected to take about ive days and is being conducted under the coroner’s authority. Police said the house has changed owners several times and the present residents are not related to or connected to Ms Green.

Salmonella warning
(Damjan Janevski) 210598_01
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.

Support for cancer patients It was supposed to be the happiest of times, but in June last year Alana Romeo’s life changed forever. Just ive weeks ater marrying the love of her life and two days before her honeymoon, Ms Romeo discovered she had breast cancer. She had visited a local doctor in Hillside who examined her lump and told told her it was fat. But the lump began to to grow and Ms Romeo decided to get a second opinion before leaving for her European honeymoon. From there, she was diagnosed with HER2 negative and HR positive cancer, common for women who are in their 40s. Ms Romeo is only
27. It may be a life changing experiece, but Ms Romeo was determined to not let it beat her. “I had two grade three tumours, inding the second one in my irst ultrasound,” she said. “My world was completely turned upside down. I completed four rounds of hardcore chemotherapy however decided that I would return to school in term four. “I did chemotherapy once a week and taught full time at my high school in Hoppers Crossing.” A year on from diagnosis, Ms Romeo is turning her attention to helping other women going through a similar journey.
“Right ater I had my mastectomy I decided I needed to share my story with others,” she said. “I wanted to share the whole experience from the side efects of chemotherapy to what I used during treatment including skin care, diet and how to put on a scarf.” She went on to start an Instagram page Life. of.lana.26 and started blogging on her website Lifeolana.net. “I make an efort to respond to anyone who messages me about their own experiences and have helped a few women who have recently been diagnosed ofering support,” Ms Romeo said.

Chemical storage anger By Goya Dmytryshchak Toxic chemicals are being stored without a permit just 420 metres from Brooklyn homes, causing an outcry from surrounding residents. A retrospective planning permit application has been lodged by FBT Transwest with Brimbank council for storage of dangerous goods at 6/600 Geelong Road, Brooklyn. Brooklyn and surrounding residents, along with Hobsons Bay council, say the operation should be immediately shut down as it placed people “at great risk”. Hobsons Bay deputy mayor Sandra Wilson told last week’s council meeting that a formal objection would be lodged against the application.
‘‘
For this to happen on our watch … is really disappointing - Sandra Wilson
’’
“We’ve had the storage of dangerous and hazardous chemicals within the proximity of a local community that undergoes so much impost from that Brooklyn industrial site,” she said. “For this to happen on our watch and indeed the watch of Brimbank council is really disappointing.” he site is also about 120 metres from the Federation Trail bike and walking path and about 750 metres from Annunciation Primary School. Brooklyn Residents Action Group (BRAG) president Bert Boere said applying for a permit now was like closing the barn door ater the horse had bolted.

“From [the site] to the nearest houses on the other side of Geelong is only a matter of a few hundred metres,” he said “If it is combustible or if there is a situation, it’s just going to bring it over the residential area and it’s too close. It’s just too close.” Altona North’s Geof Mitchelmore, a former industrial chemist and also a member of BRAG, said Brimbank council had known of the operation since at least mid last year when the application was lodged.
Our priority is you
“It is now June and it is still operating and they haven’t got a planning permit,” he said. “We just don’t understand how they can be allowed to operate if they haven’t got a planning permit – it’s as simple as that.” Brimbank’s city development director Kelvin Walsh said it was the council’s understanding that the amount of chemicals being stored on the site at present were “well below the amounts for which the application seeks approval”. he applicant was contacted for comment.

Mayor Georgina Papafotiou I wish to express my extreme disappointment in the article ‘Councillor calls in Inspectorate’, 30 June, 2020. he article publishes a claim by an anonymous source, that I “directed Cr Tachos to get a COVID-19 test ater she was seen out in public, promoting local businesses in St Albans”. While a complaint may have been lodged, I am yet to be notiied of this and the reputation of council and my personal reputation has been smeared by the mere fact the article was published. It is extremely disappointing to have learnt of this complaint being made through the press, as a result of an anonymous source. I appreciate the statement that I made at the Ordinary Council Meeting 23 June was widely quoted, where I called out the behaviour of some who seek to divert council from the more important work of supporting our community through challenging times. However I was not approached by your paper to provide a comment for this story. I wish to assure the community that I as mayor, and this Brimbank council, will not be distracted from the work we need to do for this community. he council is dedicated and committed, and we will continue to work to recover from COVID-19, to advocate to all levels of government for increased investment and infrastructure, and to deliver a record capital works program, including the delivery of an Australian irst health, wellbeing and aquatic centre.

RETURN TO LOCKDOWN STARWEEKLY.COM.AU
Business calls for support By Tate Papworth Brimbank Business Association president Daniel Dalli has urged the state government to invest in Brimbank long term. On Tuesday Premier Daniel Andrews reimposed lockdown measures across a number of Brimbank suburbs. While not all businesses within Brimbank will be forced to shut, Mr Dalli said all will be impacted. “Lots of businesses which initially shut down, invested costs into reopening, now those costs are wasted,” Mr Dalli said. “It’s the worst thing that could have happened and it has happened … mainly for businesses in those postcodes but it’s damaging for the wider community as well. “Tourists may avoid these areas because of the stigma of being called hotspots.” He welcomed the government’s $5,000 grant announcement, but said it will only go so far. “We need ongoing support for businesses,” he said. “Moving forward this is likely to hamper businesses from what was starting to become a positive environment. “hat momentum will obviously be lost and with that we expect a big problem with unemployment, which is already disproportionate to the Melbourne average, to rise.” Master Cutterz Hair Studio owner Rachel Vella agreed the grants should be extended. “It’s just heartbreaking, especially for small business,” she said. “here seems to be a lack of support though. Keilor is not in lockdown, but a large number of our clients are in lockdown … most of the neighbouring suburbs are. “Business in Keilor is going to sufer just as much, we don’t just service people in Keilor, but we’re not eligible for that support.”
Master Cutterz Hair Studio owner Rachel Vellar with a client. (Damjan Janevski) 210670_02
While concerned about what a second round of lockdown will bring, Ms Vella said her loyal customer base was cause for much optimism. “We’ve been grateful we’ve been able to operate and our number one priority has been
safety, but we really started to bounce back ater the irst round of lockdowns. “I’m sure we’ll get back to where we were, but we’ve got to really reach out for people to shop local and support small business.”
Council facilities close again A number of council facilities andservices have been forced back into closing ater the state government reimposed stay at home restrictions on a number of suburbs. In line with the restrictions, the council is temporarily closing facilities such as libraries, neighbourhood houses, playgrounds, skate parks, outdoor exercise equipment areas and barbecue facilities within the suburbs named by the government. Sporting facilities within the restricted suburbs are also closed and the advice is that people from the restricted suburbs are not able to participate in community sport. he restrictions are in place for Brimbank postcodes 3038, 3012, 3042 and 302. Brimbank Mayor Cr Georgina Papafotiou said the council was aiming to provide some of the online services that had been successful in supporting the community during the previous closures. “We need to support each other during this time. While only some Brimbank suburbs are in the state government restricted list, we’re asking all community members to follow the advice of the health authorities, to use common sense in any decision making about what you’re doing and where you’re going, and to get tested if they have any symptoms,” Cr Papafotious said.

Carers left to go it alone By Tate Papworth For many residents a return to lockdown is tough. For carers and those with a disability it’s tougher still. Keilor Downs resident Despina Havelas is a full-time carer for her 19-year-old son Kon, who is on the autism spectrum. Ms Havelas has long been an advocate for better carer support within Brimbank and said prolonged periods of isolation have exacerbated the issues. “here’s a real struggle with ability to ind workers with the NDIS and have workers [COIVID-19] tested to come in to the house at this time,” she said. “Finding activities within the house to do is hard … someone sufering autism struggles with one-on-one activities. “Kon’s anxiety has increased, he doesn’t have answers and doesn’t know where to get them. “We don’t have someone come in, so all he sees is in media and it being reported how bad this area is.” Ms Havelas said her son has battled high anxiety, an increase in “behaviours”, loss of appetite and disrupted sleeping patterns as a result of the pandemic. It’s also been a battle for Ms Havelas as a carer. “I’m feeling isolated … I’ve lost the ability to catch up and talk with other carers and support services like Carers Victoria haven’t even checked in with a phone call to see how I’m doing.” She called for all levels of government to provide support programs for carers. “From what I’m seeing, my governments aren’t putting support into me,” she said. “I’m let to deal with COVID in isolation … I haven’t seen the extra support.”
RETURN TO LOCKDOWN
Residents react to lockdown Brimbank residents forced back into lockdown by the state government say they understand the reasons, but are angry the situation came to this. Keilor Downs resident Sharon Munro said having a child who is of “high risk” when it comes to COVID-19 made it easier to accept the reimposed restrictions. “I was expecting it to come a week ago, hopefully it’s not too late,” Ms Munro said. “I’m trying to remain positive. I have a child who is high risk … so we’ve really only been going out for the essentials. “We’re in this for the long haul so it’s frustrating when we see people ignoring the rules.” Fellow Keilor Downs resident Prue Brigham agreed with the decision, but feared people from “hot spots” may be discriminated against. “I feel we’re soon coming to a point – even when we can cross borders – we may be subjected to tougher restrictions than people not in these areas,” Ms Brigham said. “I heard over 900 people refused to be tested by door knockers. I’m quite upset and angry when I hear that. “We don’t want … this illusion we’re all doing the wrong thing. I’ve done everything in my power to do the right thing.” Keilor resident Rosa Bruno hasn’t been forced into lockdown, but said the rules would impact her community regardless. “he local economy is going to take a big hit, but the cost of not doing this is people’s lives.” Tate Papworth

Mayor’s message Cr Lara Carli
STAY INFORMED Melton City Council: melton.vic.gov.au/COVID19 facebook.com/cityofmelton Customer Service: 9747 7200
We’ve introduced our Food Organics. Garden Organics service (FOGO) which means you can now put all food waste into your green bin.
Department of Health and Human Services: dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus COVID-19 Hotline: 1800 675 398 (24 hours)
It’s great to see so much interest in the service already, with many of you eager to find out more and start a new green waste habit. By simply throwing your food scraps and garden clippings in the green bin, you’ll help halve the amount of waste we send to landfill.
A better place for food waste
Get tested
Last week, we began a new service that allows residents to put all food scraps into their kerbside green bins. It’s part of Council’s Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO) plan to help halve the amount of waste households send to landfill.
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.
You can now put all loose (not bagged) food scraps into the green bin. This includes: • fruit and vegetable scraps • egg shells • meat and bones
• • • •
bread, rice, pasta dairy products biscuits leftovers
The FOGO service was introduced by Council after an audit revealed that about half of the waste thrown into the red bin by a typical City of Melton household was food and garden material.
Together, we can easily reduce pressure on landfill space by simply using our household green bins for food scraps. It’s important to note that bags, including compostable bags, will not be accepted in the green bin as they cannot be processed by the composting facility, so please only put loose food scraps into the bin.
Drive-through testing is available locally at: • Bunnings Caroline Springs – carpark, 1067 Western Highway, Caroline Springs 3023. Enter the site via Delma Road. Open 9am-5pm daily
If you don’t have a green bin, you can contact Council to order one (service charge applies).
• Djerriwarrh Health Service, 195 Barries Road, Melton West 3337. Open Mon–Fri 10.30am-6pm No appointments are being taken at either site, simply arrive and wait in your car at the marked point.
To learn more about FOGO, visit melton.vic.gov.au/FOGO
Cambridge Ward with Cr Steve Abboushi The COVID-19 crisis has had a profound impact on everyone, and Council has been working hard to help stem the spread of the virus locally, and support our community during this challenging time. We were well into our budget planning process when coronavirus struck, and as a compassionate community leader, Council wanted to take into account the many residents experiencing financial hardship as a result of the economic and social restrictions implemented across Victoria. As a result, Council framed its
2020/2021 budget around a zero per cent rate increase and a $105.6 million capital projects budget, demonstrating that we are not only responsive to community needs, but will also continue to deliver services, programs and facilities by developing local infrastructure. Planned expenditure includes significant capital and roads investment in local projects including the purchase of land for the Plumpton Aquatic and Leisure Centre; extending both the Caroline Springs Community Facility and Brookside Community pavilions; designing and constructing
Mt Atkinson Children’s and Community Centre in Truganina; signalising Taylors Road at Sinclairs Road, Gourlay Road and Westwood Drive; and signalising Caroline Springs Boulevard at Rockbank Middle Road and The Crossing. These are some truly outstanding projects that I’m sure will greatly benefit residents living in our City’s eastern corridor, and make our community an even better place to live and raise a family. Please feel free to contact me for Cambridge Ward or Council related issues on 0437 231 680 or steve. abboushi@melton.vic.gov.au, or like my Facebook page @CrAbboushi
This service is something Council introduced to create a greener future for our City. We’ll not only be reducing greenhouse gas emissions and relieving pressure on landfill space, we’ll also be helping to create compost that gives back to the earth. You can find out more at melton.vic.gov. au/FOGO Right now, we’re also looking for nominations for our Community Achievement Awards, so if you know someone who makes a special contribution to our City, then please tell us about them. We’re looking for our next Citizen of the Year and Young Citizen of the Year, as well as leaders in intercultural engagement, access and inclusion, and gender equity. Whether it’s someone who encourages community participation, breaks down barriers or readily helps others, nominating them is a really special way to say thank you. It could be a volunteer at your local club, or someone who goes above and beyond in their daily work. Nominations close Friday 31 July. Visit melton.vic.gov.au/ CommunityAchievementAwards 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

50 years in the sky By Tate Papworth It may be experiencing unprecedented quiet times, but that didn’t stop Melbourne Airport from celebrating a major milestone. he airport marked 50 years of operation last week. On July 1, 1970, then Prime Minister Sir John Gorton oicially declared the airport open, with the inaugural Qantas (QF530) international light taking of to San Francisco. he airport was initially built for aviation and leisure purposes and included a 300-seat cinema, an Astrojet Space and Science Centre, an observation deck, shops, cafes and bars. Since then the airport’s footprint has expanded, growing from three terminals to four, facilitating holidaymakers, business travellers and the movements of freight and goods. Since that day 50 years ago, Melbourne Airport has seen more than three quarters of a billion travellers ly in and out, with the domestic market accounting for 600 million passengers and international 169 million people. Melbourne Airport chief executive Lyell Strambi said he was proud of how the airport had developed over the decades. “When the airport irst opened it was iconic for the whole state,” Mr Strambi said. “It created opportunity for people to reach destinations that they could previously only dream of. “Our continued focus on the traveller experience is what has enabled Melbourne Airport to endure the test of time.” While the airport is in the midst of challenging times bought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr Strambi said he looked forward to the day the community was able to once again take to the sky. “We have a strong team, dedicated to the growth of the business and to the continuous planning for the future,” Mr Strambi said. “he airport continues to grow and evolve with Melbourne. It’s ironic that we are celebrating 50 years since the birth of Melbourne Airport, as we get ready for a rebirth of lying activity to begin, post COVID-19. “his will go down in history as another seminal moment in the history of Melbourne and its airport.” As part of the milestone, the airport is launching a program for junior travellers. he irst learning module is based around the airport’s 50th milestone and includes informative videos featuring air traic controllers, pilots, and airport staf. It also includes puzzles, games and challenges. 12 BRIMBANK & NORTHWEST STAR WEEKLY Tuesday, 7 July, 2020

Nurse unit manager Lena Pejcinovski. (Damjan Janevski) 210496_01
Nurse urges testing hree weeks ago Lena Pejcinovski was the nurse unit manager of Sunshine Hospital’s respiratory assessment clinic. Now she’s overseeing the management of Western Health’s drive-through COVID19 testing site at the Melbourne Showgrounds. he site is testing about 1000 people a day, sometimes more, with wait times averaging just shy of 30 minutes. A proud resident of Melbourne’s west, Ms Pejcinovski has a clear message for her community: if you have even the slightest symptom, get tested. “If you have any symptoms, any symptom at all, then get tested,” she said. “Even the mildest of symptoms should be tested … you may think you usually get a sore throat, or sneeze a bit that this time of the year, but it’s so important you get it tested.” here’s also been reports that the testing
process itself is invasive and uncomfortable, but Ms Pejcinovski said the testing process at the showgrounds is far from that. “Testing at the clinic involves a cotton bud which goes about 1cm into the nose for about 15 seconds … we don’t put it the whole way up. “hen there’s a swab for the back of mouth … the whole process is one of the more tolerable tests.” Ms Pejcinovski’s days are long – about 12 hours usually, but she says she’s proud to be playing her part. he Melbourne Showgrounds testing site is open seven days a week from 9am-5pm. Site entry is via Gate 4 of Langs Road. For more information and other testing site locations visit: www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/gettingtested-coronavirus-covid-19. Tate Papworth

Plans by the Aluminium Company of America (ALCOA) to erect an aluminium smelter at Portland will result in nuclear power stations being built in the western suburbs, a group of local anti-uranium activists claimed this week.
A new political group set up to contest this year’s council elections in Keilor and Sunshine wants the two cities united with the new combined city’s municipal centre established in St Albans.
Road improvements will take the largest slice of the Brimbank council’s proposed $11.7 million capital works program for the next inancial year. he council has recommended that $3.8 million be allocated in its 2000-2001 program to improve roads in the municipality; an increase from last year’s $3.1 million.
Commuters fear the Sydenham railway line will become more crowded when the extensions to Diggers Rest and Sunbury is completed. Watergardens commuter Xina Xia said the line was already struggling to cope with demand from existing passengers.
