COVID business pain By Alesha Capone Wyndham businesses and organisations are bracing for the fallout of Victoria’s latest snap lockdown. Hoppers Club chief executive Michael Lewis said the organisation’s two venues, at Hoppers Crossing and the Bacchus Marsh Golf Clubhouse, stood to lose about $100,000 in revenue during the seven-day ‘circuit-breaker’ lockdown. Of the 60 employees who worked across the two sites, most have been stood down or are using annual leave for the duration of the lockdown. “We’re extremely concerned about the impact the lockdown is having on the health and wellbeing of staff and we have offered them counselling,” Mr Lewis said.

‘‘

I don’t know if I want to keep trying

’’

- Carolyn Coffey

Carolyn Coffey, who runs Coffey on Watton in Werribee, said it was “heartbreaking” to see the impact multiple lockdowns have had on the cafe she had dreamed of opening for 40 years. Ms Coffey said it had been a struggle since she opened the business on March 16 last year. At the time, her staff did not qualify for JobKeeper payments and instead had to go on JobSeeker, which was “very hard” for them. She said that after lockdowns, customers tended to be cautious about returning to cafes and eateries. “I don’t know if I want to keep trying, part of me just doesn’t know,” she said. The Park Werribee hotel owner Nick Christou said the uncertainty of lockdown, plus the state government’s “multiple failures” on quarantine, was “hard and frustrating”. “I’m trying to reboot my team of 30 staff,” he said. “Now we’re going into a period where they’re not earning any income and if they can’t work, they can’t pay their mortgage or rent.” Mr Christou said he was grateful for his “strong loyal team” of employees who understood the situation caused by COVID. He said that the state government announcing the lockdown on a Thursday

meant most hospitality businesses had to throw away the food purchased for weekend trade. “You spend thousands and thousands on food that gets discarded because you go into lockdown,” he said. Werribee Business and Tourism Association (WBTA) chair Hadi Chami, who is also owner of Notorious Espresso in Werribee, said the lockdown had put many businesses “back at square one”.

“Everyone was ready for winter and putting on extra staff, but now we are back to how we were,” he said. “If it [lockdown] goes longer than a week it might be a struggle for some businesses.” Committee for Wyndham chief executive Barbara McLure said that the organisation would be encouraging its members to apply for the state government’s $250 million support package for businesses affected by the

lockdown. Yesterday question marks loomed over whether the state would exit lockdown on Friday. Victoria recorded three new cases of COVID-19 overnight on Monday, bringing the number of cases in this outbreak to 54. There are more than 300 exposure sites. ■ Exposure

Maynard to remain deputy mayor By Alesha Capone Three Wyndham councillors have been unsuccessful in their bid to have Cr Peter Maynard temporarily step down from his role as deputy mayor, after an incident of “alleged misconduct”. Councillors Josh Gilligan, Mia Shaw and Heather Marcus penned a letter to the council’s acting chief executive, which was made public during a meeting last week, calling for Cr Maynard to step down after he allegedly “verbally abused” a community member.

The letter requested that Wyndham’s other councillors endorse the call for Cr Maynard to step down as deputy mayor until an investigation into the alleged incident presented its findings. Prior to the meeting, mayor Adele Hegedich lodged an application of alleged misconduct, through the council’s internal arbitration process, after receiving material in relation to Cr Maynard’s conduct. Although the exact nature of the alleged misconduct was not detailed at the council meeting, Cr Gilligan said the allegations have

‘‘ ’’

there is a process in place because I requested it - Cr Peter Maynard

been “supported by one of Australia’s most reputable public health organisations”. A majority of councillors did not support the call for Cr Maynard to step down. During an at times fiery debate on the topic, Cr Hegdich interjected to say that she was “in charge of this meeting tonight” and “you all

need to stop”. Cr Robert Szatkowski said he believed an apology from Cr Maynard to his alleged victim would be “sufficient resolution” for the matter, if the arbitration process found this was needed. When contacted for comment, Cr Maynard said he would be willing to speak more about the matter, if he was permitted to, following the council’s investigation. “There’s a process in place and I have to respect that process, and there is a process in place because I requested it,” Cr Maynard said.

Petition to address road safety

Buy local goes digital The Werribee Business and Tourism Association (WBTA) has launched a digital campaign encouraging residents to support local businesses. The WBTA was established in 2015 to provide events and services for businesses and those that would like to do business in Wyndham. The association’s membership represents business owners and their employees, students and education facilities, plus corporate, medium, small and micro-businesses.

A grant from the state government has funded the WBTA “buy local” campaign, which took about six months to develop. The campaign aims to raise awareness of the various services available in Werribee, encourage locals to visit the WBTA categories landing page to find out more about these services and promote individual Werribee businesses and their strengths. The campaign features businesses in the categories of Your Town Centre, Your Business,

Your Property, Your Health and Wellbeing, Your Local Sights & Community and Your Sports and Recreational. Videos to promote each category will be used to reach residents through Facebook advertising. There will also be social media posts for businesses within each of the categories and photography showcasing local business owner. Local businesses that would like to get involved can contact: werribeebta@gmail.com

A petition requesting road safety measures be implemented in a Tarneit neighbourhood has been lodged with Wyndham council. The petition has been signed by 39 residents who live in the vicinity of Tarneit Road and Leakes Road. The petition states that traffic along both of these roads “is increasing day by day as more homes are built and now areas are being subdivided”. “Most of us have young kids who go to Saint John the Apostle Primary School or Tarneit Rise Primary School. “Kids have to cross these two dangerous roads when the traffic is at its peak. “Hence, we request the council to provide crossing supervisor and cross walks (zebra crossing) across this road.” The petition has also requested the installation of speed humps in Homewood Entrance and Family Street in Tarneit. “Cars are not following the speed limit and over speeding in these roads,” the petition read. In addition, the petition has asked for a toilet facility to be constructed at the Little Green park in Style Way. “Kids are urinating near the bushes which creates an unhygienic spot at the park,” the petition stated. “A provision of toilets with both male and female will go a long way in make the place beautiful.” The council will prepare a report to respond to the petition at the next council Meeting on June 29.

Point Cook added to exposure list By Alesha Capone The Stockland Point Cook shopping centre and Sanctuary Lakes shopping centre have undergone a deep clean after being named as COVID-19 exposure sites. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has listed several venues across the shopping centres as tier one exposure sites. Anyone who was present at the dates and times specified must get tested immediately and quarantine for 14 days from the exposure date. Coles and Target at Stockland Point Cook was an exposure site on May 26, from 3.30pm-5.30pm. Point Cook Quality Meats (Halal) & Grocery Supermarket, 5 Main Street and Murnong Street, May 26, from 3.30pm-5.30pm. Marketplace Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Market, May 26 from 3.30pm-5.30pm. Aldi at Sanctuary Lakes shopping centre was an exposure site on May 26 from 5.10pm-6.30pm. Sanctuary Lakes shopping centre was listed as a tier two site from 5.10pm-6.30pm on May 26. Anyone who was there at this time must get tested urgently and isolate until they have a negative result. The Stockland centre was also listed as a tier two exposure site, on May 26 from 3.30pm-5.30pm. The centre posted an announcement on its Facebook site on Monday, which read: “A full deep clean of the centre was performed overnight on Sunday, in line with DHHS recommendations. “The centre remains open with hygiene and safety precautions and procedures in place.” Sanctuary Lakes shopping centre also posted that it had undergone a deep clean, before re-opening on Monday. “Please note that we have sanitising stations at each entrance as well as sanitising wipes throughout the centre to keep you safe, and our cleaning team are focused on touch-point cleaning,” the post said. Wyndham council’s acting chief executive Natalie Walker said all council services that did not need to be delivered face-to-face had been moved online. “Council will continue to support businesses, like we did in 2020, through local grants and after the lockdown we will work towards bringing our events back to drive locals to those businesses,” she said. “Any residents experiencing any hardship or difficulty … can contact Wyndham City Council to discuss a range of options available.”

Help shape regional park The state government has invited residents to provide ideas for the development of a new 340-hectare park in Wyndham Vale. Dubbed the Werribee Township Regional Park, the park will be created near the northern boundary of Presidents Park, as part of the $154 million Suburban Parks Program. Parks Victoria will also update plans for the existing Werribee River Regional Park, which follows the western bank of the river from the Princes Freeway through to the river mouth into Port Philip Bay. Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, Lily D’Ambrosio, said development of the parks was an “important milestone” for people in the west. “These parks will make a real difference to the health and wellbeing of people in these communities – providing green open space for people to stretch the legs, clear the head and catch up with friends.” The release of the final park plans will occur in July to September next year. Work is scheduled to commence in late 2022, subject to land acquisition. Anyone wanting to have a say on the parks can do so at https://engage.vic.gov. au/western-regional-parks before June 27. Parks Victoria will also hold an online community workshop from 10am-1pm on Saturday, June 26. Register to participate at the above website. Alesha Capone

After more than 20 years, DiCaprio Family Restaurant will shut the doors on its Hoppers Crossing eatery later this month. The popular restaurant has been forced to vacate its rented premises at 88 Derrimut Road, following the sale of the land. There are plans to build a petrol station on the site. DiCaprio’s last day of operation is slated for June 13. However, owner and manager Elie Touma said this was not the end of the road for him and his team – he’s planning to open a new venue in Wyndham later this year. Mr Touma said his long-serving staff included a chef who hasworked at the restaurant for 15 years and a waiter who has been with him for between 12 to 14 years. Some of these employees will come across to work at his new venue. Mr Touma said he already has customers booking in for a meal on June 13, although this will depend on what happens with the state’s latest COVID lockdown. He said plenty of people have been saying they will miss DiCaprio’s once it closes. “Customers have been very supportive, they know I’m closing, offering support and I’m very thankful,” Mr Touma said. “They say, ‘We love you, we want you to stay here,’ and ‘Let us know where you’re going to be, we are happy to follow you’.” Mr Touma said DiCaprio has always been involved with the community, helping out organisations such as the Rotary Club of Hoppers Crossing and football clubs with food and vouchers. “Without the public, without the community, we couldn’t do this,” he said.

GENERAL EDITORIAL INQUIRIES westeditorial@starweekly.com.au

A trio of enormous concrete bridge components travelled 300 kilometres by truck from Gippsland to Hoppers Crossing last week. The pre-cast concrete parts – known as crossheads – will soon form part of a new 1.2 kilometre road bridge which is being built as part of the Old Geelong Road level crossing removal project. The biggest of the three concrete sections, which were manufactured at GBG concrete in Sale, weighed in at 173 tonnes and travelled on a 58-metre long truck and trailer. The “superload” journey took 16 hours across two days, arriving in Hoppers Crossing in the early hours of May 22. To minimise disruption, the superloads travelled at night, were escorted by traffic

controllers and followed a carefully-planned route, including Footscray Road and the Princes Freeway. Level Crossing Removal Project program director Tony Hedley said there were “huge numbers of people involved behind the scenes” in creating and transporting the crossheads. Werribee line commuters are being advised that buses will replace trains from Thursday, June 10 until the last service June 16. The disruption will allow work to take place on stairs and canopy roofing on a new pedestrian overpass at Hoppers Crossing station, while major works continue on the road bridge.

Learners move online

Top recyclers named

By Alesha Capone Wyndham teenager Indi is among the thousands of young Victorians who will soon be able to sit for a learner driving permit at home, rather than at a VicRoads service centre. The state government is rolling out an online testing system for young people to try for their L-plates. The initiative is set to become available to all young people across the state by the end of the month but some teenagers, who have already booked a testing appointment at VicRoads centres in Hoppers Crossing, Melbourne’s CBD and Ballarat, have been invited to enroll for an online test instead. To access the test, young people need to create a myVicRoads personal account on a compatible device. The entire course and test takes between four and six hours to complet. Prospective learners have 12 months to sit and pass the online test once they have registered. The new test takes learners through a course that includes theory, interactive videos and visual graphics before a final assessment. Key road safety messages with mini-quizzes to test learners’ knowledge in modules such as speed, drink and drug driving, seatbelts, fatigue, distractions and road rules also feature. When the online course and assessment has been successfully completed, learner drivers will need to attend a VicRoads customer service centre to confirm their identity, have their photo taken and complete an eyesight check. Indi said was planning to book in for her L-plate test after her 16th birthday in July. “I’m excited to get my licence but it’s also a bit nerve-wracking,” she said.

barriers that many prospective drivers across the state face in starting their driving journey – and that means we’re giving all young Victorians the best chance of getting on the roads safely,” he said. Details: vicroads.vic.gov.au.

Indi said she was keen to find out how easy or hard driving was in reality. Roads and Road Safety Minister Ben Carroll said the state government was excited to keep rolling out the new online learner test. “This innovative online platform is removing

Residents in the municipalities of Wyndham, Whittlesea and Maribyrnong are among the top six areas for donations of clothing and household goods to a national recycling company. SCRgroup, which has 1500 collection points around the country for fashion and household items, gives the donated materials another home locally or internationally. What cannot be reused is either turned into rags or converted into an alternate fuel called biofuel. Data released by SCRgroup recently showed that Wyndham residents helped to save 936,987 kilograms of clothing and household items from landfill between April 1, 2020 and March 21, 2021. SCRgroup communications and business development executive Alexis Todorovski said this made Wyndham the top charitable and environmentallyconscious city in Australia. Whittlesea (which saved 814,656 kilograms of goods) and the city of Maribyrnong (which saved 472,893 kilograms of goods) were also in the national top six donation sites, along with the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Ms Todorovski said that SCRgroup’s clothing hubs within the Point Cook Town Centre helped to generate 30 per cent of all the Wyndham donations alone. Details: https://scrg.com.au/ Alesha Capone

Wyndham Village Lotto & News owner Mala Shah. (Damjan Janevski) 238573_01)

Lotto luck in Tarneit A customer of Wyndham Village Lotto & News in Tarneit has scored $482,706 after a division one TattsLotto win last month. Wyndham Village Lotto & News owner Mahesh Thakur said the customer purchased a ticket in TattsLotto draw number 4157, drawn on Saturday, May 22. There were 15 division one-winning entries across the nation, including five in Melbourne. The Tarneit winner, who had a System 7 entry, has chosen to remain anonymous. Mr Thakur said he could not be happier for the customer, who has since thanked him for the ticket. Mr Thakur and his wife Mala have run Wyndham Village Lotto & News for about seven years and in that time have recorded

about 15 division one TattsLotto wins. “I’m not lucky – the community is lucky,” Mr Thakur said. “They keep coming back, I just do my job.” The couple also run Sweet Magic, an Indian confectionery store, located alongside their newsagency. Both Sweet Magic and the newsagency are drop-off points for residents wanting to donate items to Uniting Wyndham’s Winter Blanket Appeal, which is collecting blankets and doonas for people doing it tough this winter. “The community is wonderful, they supported me through COVID so I want to support them,” Mr Thakur said.

Local law aims to clean up city By Alesha Capone Residents who fail to maintain their nature strips may face a $330 fine under legal reforms to be considered by Wyndham council next year. A report presented at a council meeting last week recommended amending a policy “to provide a clear description of the expectations for nature strip maintenance by residents in Wyndham”. Cr Josh Gilligan said the existing policy only required residents to comply with directives to maintain nature strips if they were considered to be a fire hazard. However, the council is considering

implementing a clause to its local laws, which are to be reviewed next year, which would require residents to maintain their nature strips all the time. The report stated that if a penalty was introduced for residents who failed to maintain nature strips it “would likely be two penalty units, or $330 at current penalty unit rates“, in line with other offences in the Local Law. The council would also provide support to owners of vacant land to help them understand the benefits of fencing their land if it has been the target of persistent littering or rubbish dumping. According to the report, the council’s nature

strip technical officer responded to 2695 requests from residents relating to overgrown, obstructed, damaged, or hazardous nature strips last year. Of those, 2051 were specifically about overgrown grass at 1594 individual properties. “The majority of residents mowed the nature strip on request,” the report stated. “The ability to require the nature strip to be maintained or receive a fine is unnecessary in most cases but might be useful for the small number of properties where the request to cut the grass is ignored.” The council last year received 2504 notifications from residents about “unsightly”

vacant land, of which 847 mentioned litter, rubbish or the word “dumped“. Cr Gilligan said he has received “overwhelmingly positive” feedback from residents in favour of changing council’s laws on nature-strips and vacant land. Cr Susan McIntyre said that “the presentation of our municipality is a concern”. She said that the council’s efforts to improve the appearance of nature strips and vacant land also needed to include education and communication with residents and property owners. The council will engage in community consultation before adopting any amendment, the report said.

A young zebra who was born on Mother’s Day is thriving at Werribee Open Range Zoo. Savannah keepers have named the foal Falah, which means happiness and success in Arabic, one of the many languages spoken throughout Africa. Falah’s mother, Furaha, gave birth just two years after undergoing extensive medical treatment for a malignant tumour that grew behind her right leg. Werribee Open Range Zoo senior veterinarian Natalie Rourke said Furaha was displaying all the positive maternal behaviours associated with a first-time zebra mum. “Furaha has a really lovely nature, and she’s displaying very good mothering behaviour,” Ms Rourke said. “The baby is also very healthy. She’s been suckling and her coat is looking absolutely magnificent.” Ms Rourke described Furaha’s story and medical recovery as remarkable. “Furaha underwent extensive surgery for her condition and required three months of very close management and monitoring to recover,” she said. “So, it’s super rewarding to see her mother her first foal after overcoming her health issues.” Plains zebras are native to Africa and are classified as near-threatened in the wild. Their population of 250,000 is in decline, with habitat destruction, poaching and competition with agriculture as major threats to the species. Anyone can support zebra conservation through Zoos Victoria’s Beads for Wildlife initiative. Funds raised through the sale of handmade beadwork via Zoos Victoria’s retail stores go towards protecting the rangelands where zebras reside in Northern Kenya. Details: zoo.org.au

This month I wanted to provide some advice about how you can get in touch with your local police. Over the years we have undergone significant transformations in regards to our service we provide to the community, and there are now several ways you can report a crime or speak to a police officer that you may not be aware of. The Police Assistance Line and Online Reporting Service is available for the community at all times. You can call the Police Assistance Line on 131 444 or visit our Online Reporting Service with a general inquiry or to report non-urgent crime and events at anytime. Examples of non-urgent crimes and events include: burglary at a home or commercial property where no one was home at the time, theft (including theft of a motor vehicle), property damage and lost property. Online reporting is available at www.police. vic.gov.au/palolr. The Victoria Police website, where you can report non-urgent crime online, also has language and accessibility tools, which supports vision impaired and culturally and linguistically diverse users to engage online. The tool allows anyone to convert text to speech, look up word definitions and change font size. It can also translate text on the website in to 100 different languages. We think this is really important for our vibrant, multicultural community in Wyndham and I’d encourage everyone to take a look around online and familiarise yourself with the website. If you need a document signed by a Justice of the Peace, which could include a statutory declaration, certifying a document, witnessing an affidavit or certifying an identity, this can

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

Food for body and soul at Trugo Place The ability to access a variety of food outlets, select our own mealtimes and our own food options is something most of us take for granted. So when the move is made into an aged care environment, losing autonomy over meal preparation and food choices can be an unsettling prospect for many individuals, according to Ana Ivancic. Ana is head chef at Trugo Place - Japara’s brand-new aged care home in Newport – and brings a wealth of experience and training in aged care food preparation, working hard to create accessible and exciting menus for residents. Ana’s background reveals what ignited her zeal for working with the older generation in the important area of good food. “In Croatia, becoming a chef was a strong opportunity to get into a stable career. After completing my training, I was posted to a 2000-bed winter resort in the East Croatian highlands where I was able to develop my skills to ensure high quality meals for customers and how to maintain standards,” Ana says. “It was only when I came to Australia and started working in local nursing homes that I discovered a passion for working with the older generation. I enrolled in various additional courses, with a focus on cooking for the elderly, to gain further specialised skills and now put this knowledge to use every day in my role as head chef at Trugo Place.” Aged care kitchen staff cater for a wide range of dietary requirements. If a resident can’t comfortably eat meals or feels isolated as a result of their individual dietary needs, it can have a detrimental effect not only on their physical health, but to their self-esteem and mental wellbeing too. “Ensuring meals are enticing and accessible

dishes that evoke fond memories. “I love seeing their smiling faces when I visit them in the dining rooms each day – it’s incredibly rewarding to see the residents getting such enjoyment from the food we serve and know we are providing the nourishment they need.” Ana is also a dab hand at designing and creating occasion cakes, surprising residents

FEATURING ... EDUCATION CHOICES

Childs Play is twice as much fun Sam and Ian Johnson, who have operated a family-run “exceeding” childcare service on Tarneit Road for more than seven years, are expanding Child’s Play early learning centre. The pair is opening a second Child’s Play in June – on Hermosa Drive, Tarneit. The new centre has seven rooms, catering for 130 children aged from six weeks to six years, who will be cared for by qualified educators – hand-picked for their caring, supportive and compassionate attitude and nature. Sam says that some educators are moving over from the existing Tarneit Road centre in order to maintain the embedded culture and consistency she and Ian provide. “This will also ensure continuity of high-quality care, given to and expected by our parents and children,” says Sam. “Ian and I will be actively involved at the new centre, while Caitlin Phillips and Teena Beri will manage the centre on a day-to-day basis. “Caitlin and Teena have worked alongside us for more than five years. They’ve grown and evolved with us; they understand our philosophy of ‘every child matters’; and they’ll ensure consistency in both services.”

Family fun day To celebrate the launch of the new Child’s Play, a fun-filled family day takes place at 10am-3pm on Saturday, June 19. “All families – past, present and future – are invited to the big day,” Ian says. “We’ll have face-painters, Happy Feet and Little Sports Heroes to entertain the kids and give parents and carers a chance to try out some of our incursions. “And our chef will be on hand to cook up some sample dishes. Everyone is welcome to join in and have a look around, meet the educators … and see how we do things.” Like a tour? Call Caitlin and book in.

Added mental health support for students More secondary school students will soon have access to the school-based mental health support they need, thanks to the Victorian government. Minister for Education James Merlino recently announced the timeline for the 2021 roll-out of the Mental Health Practitioners initative for Victorian government secondary schools to receive extra support. In recognition of the increased mental health challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, the roll-out has been brought forward to be completed by the end of 2021. Under the initiative, schools will benefit from access to additional mental health support for their students next year. The $51.2 million initiative, which began in July last year, provides funding to schools to recruit a mental health practitioner. It will see qualified mental health professionals, including psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists and mental health nurses, in every government secondary school campus across the state. Mental health practitioners offer counselling and early intervention services, and co-ordinate support for students with complex needs, linking them with broader allied and community health services. All government secondary schools will receive between one and five days a week of support from a mental health practitioner depending on its size and requirements. This builds on the $65.5 million investment in student health and wellbeing initiatives in schools, including the Victorian Anti-Bullying and Mental Health Initiative, the School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support program, as well as increased investment in allied health and nursing services. All Victorian government school students, whether they are learning remotely or attending

21 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY Wednesday, 2 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.

Young duo make their mark Jesse Clark and Lucas Rocci both knew that Werribee Football Club was the place for them after coming out of under-age football. Stars of the NAB League competition in 2019, both turned their attention to playing in the Victorian Football League after they weren’t picked up in the AFL draft. In just five games, both have already secured their spots in the Werribee line-up, which has won its past three games and believe they are starting to find their feet this season. Clark was among the hundreds of Victorians who played in the Northern Territory last season when COVID-19 forced the cancellation of football in Victoria. He said the time in the NT helped him prepare for his first VFL season. “I’ve absolutely loved it,” Clark said about being at Werribee. “Being able to join the group and meet a lot of new faces. “I’m from Geelong and I was doing a bit of training with Geelong VFL, as well as Werribee, early last year. “Werribee were so warm and welcoming right from the get-go, which made it a really easy decision. “Obviously being a semi-professional environment you get to learn a lot from other players and coaches. “It’s been a really big step up I’ve found, going from junior under-18 footy to senior footy, playing against men, but I’ve really enjoyed it.” For Rocci, a Werribee local, joining Werribee was a no-brainer. The 2019 Morrish Medal winner is starting to look at home in the backline having not played any football for more than 18 months. Rocci said skipper Michael Sodomaco had played a key role in his development so far with the pair working closely together, both on and off the field. “It was pretty much an easy decision for me to make,” he said. “I haven’t really looked back. “I felt welcomed the first time I trained. “I started off a bit slow, but I’m trying to adjust to men’s footy, a higher level, having come from NAB League. “I played in round one and didn’t feel like I was moving well and I didn’t read the ball how I would normally. “I got sent back in round two to play against men [at local level] and I was back in for round three and I felt a lot better, a lot more comfortable at the level.” Both players still have their eyes on an AFL career in the future, but for now their focus is clearly on helping Werribee this season. They and the rest of their teammates have had to train by themselves in recent days due to the latest COVID-19 lockdown. 22 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY Wednesday, 2 June, 2021

Clark said the timing wasn’t ideal. “The first two games didn’t reflect how we were going,” he said. “We lost our first two games and easily could have won both games. “It was just little patches in each game we failed to make inroads on the scoreboard, but ever since then, we have hit our straps a bit and things have fallen our way. “I think the boys are looking forward to

tackling the next part of the season.” Rocci added: “We have won three in a row and just started to build into the season and everyone is starting to click. “Hopefully we keep building on our season and take it round by round. The end goal is that premiership and hopefully we get there.” Tara Murray

In what is believed to be a first for Victoria, an Auskick program targeted at the Asian community has been launched in Wyndham. Asian Business Association of Wyndham (ABAW) members Larry Zhao and Aaron Zhang, who are both AFL community ambassadors, developed the Oriental Lions Auskick Program with support from the Australian Football League. The first session of the Auskick program kicked off last month, with 25 children in attendance, at the Truganina Thunder Football Club’s ground. The club’s president Nick Ladbrooke and his team facilitated the event, with support from co-organiser Rainbow International Selective Education (RISE) Group, a community-based professional education service provider. “I am very happy that the ABAW can co-operate with AFL to bring Auskick to Wyndham and let more Asian children take part in Australia’s most representative sports,” Mr Zhao said. At the Auskick event, AFL Victoria’s diversity co=ordinator Reuben William presented ABAW with a Western Bulldogs jersey, signed by Western Bulldogs player Lin Jong, who has Chinese ancestry. Mr Zhang said Wyndham’s Chinese population had grown significantly in the past decade, including migrants and second generations from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. He said the key aim of the Oriental Lions Auskick Program was to engage this population in organised sports, such as Aussie Rules, by providing a safe, healthy, fun and inclusive environment. “Especially for the young kids, we believe playing footy is also a good way to help them to build their confidence and connect with our community,” he said. Point Cook Action Group (PCAG) president Bob Fairclough gave a speech to the youngsters participating in Auskick session, many of whom were playing AFL for the first time.
