Fire Services Update

By Tara CAMPBELL ON 5 October 2021, Raymond Terrace Fire and Rescue celebrated 75 years since they became operational. The brigade became partially active on 5 October 1946 and by January 1947 they were operating with full capacity. A representative from the brigade spoke about what this means for the community. “We've spent three quarters of a century protecting Raymond Terrace, Heatherbrae and surrounds from fires. “Not just that, but we have attended HAZMAT incidents, rescued hundreds of people, and helped thousands on the worst

Raymond Terrace Fire and Rescue celebrates 75 years FROM Page 1 days of their lives,” they said. For twelve years, the brigade operated out of a council shed before opening their first station in 1959, and in 2009, the brigade relocated to its new home where it has spent many years looking after the community. “The dedication of all of the Firefighters at our station since 1946 has been incredible, and our current crew are carrying on that tradition, protecting life, property and the environment every single day. “We don't just respond to incidents, but also do proactive work in the community, making sure smoke alarms are installed and up to date, checking hydrants, talking to children about fire safety and so much more,” they said. The brigade helps the

community in a number of ways, but one of their favourite things is bringing a smile to everyone’s

faces during community events and their annual Christmas lolly run, which will be returning this

year. Thank you for all the work you do for Port Stephens, Happy 75th Birthday. q Raymond Terrace Fire and Rescue’s first station was built in 1959. Photo: Museum of Fire.

Port Stephens Vaccination Update By Tara CAMPBELL

RESIDENTS from Port Stephens have been rolling up their sleeves to get vaccinated with an impressive turnout. As of 3 October, 80.9% of the Port Stephens population has received their first dose and 50.1% are fully vaccinated. Postcodes of 2317 and 2316 are currently leading the way in Port Stephens with an impressive average of 90% or over for first dose, with postcodes 2315 and

2295 just behind with 80-89% first dose. New South Wales is currently the highest vaccinated state or territory with an average of 90% partially vaccinated and 72.75% fully vaccinated, followed by the Australian Capital Territory with figures just under a percentage difference. There are currently 4.78 million New South Wales residents fully vaccinated and with 5.92 million having received their first dose. The vaccination gap between young and old has begun to narrow with 12-15 year old’s now eligible to receive a vaccine. 86.5% of the population over 70 are fully vaccinated, followed by an average fully vaccinated rate of 80% for those aged 40-69 years of age. q Kate Washington MP is one of many Port Stephens locals who have stepped up to get their jab.

Vaccine rates are still quite low for those aged 16-39 in NSW, however over 80% of these age groups have received their first vaccination. As the younger members of our population aged 12-15 have been the last eligible for vaccination, there is a promising statistic of 66.9% first dose, with certainty that shortly this group will reach a safe fully-vaccinated level. Although these rates are excellent, Dr David Durrheim from Hunter New England Health said the region is still playing catch up and many people will be left vulnerable come ‘freedom day’. "It's that second dose that's lagging way behind and people aren't really protected adequately until they get their second dose of the vaccine. "We still need to be very cautious in the local community, even if things lift, we should still be very careful about mask-wearing, social distancing, and making sure we avoid congregated places," Dr Durrheim said.

McDonalds for Medowie By Marian SAMPSON

WHILE many Medowie locals didn’t believe that their town needed a McDonalds, others see it as a sign that the township is coming of age. The franchise will see an opportunity for local youth and mature workers to gain positive employment and it will become yet one more place to grab a quick meal. For those that rally against McDonalds for the nature of the food on offer, it is good to remember that it is up to the individual to choose if they

want fries with that or not. Port Stephens Councillor Chris Doohan told News Of The Area, “With the introduction of Macca’s to Medowie comes the opportunities that one of the largest global companies brings. “Firstly this will be another shot in the arm to expand and support Ronald McDonald House, a wonderful charity that helps countless seriously ill kids and their families. “The opportunities locally will be welcomed by many families. “Both my children have cut

their teeth on a working life at Macca’s, and the availability for employment for people in Medowie will be terrific, and in turn boost our town's local economy.” McDonalds has a tradition of supporting the local communities where they operate and this is great news for local sporting teams and community organizations. “Macca’s support the community in other ways also with their commitment to local sports sponsorships. “In all NSW, Macca’s is a major supporter of Little

Detailed designs are underway and it’s estimated the project will go to tender in the coming months, with construction scheduled for 2022. Sadly this new investment will sit within metres from the adjacent failed resort at Anna Bay where graffiti and derelict buildings will still be one of the first highlights that tourists will see on their arrival at the centre. While Council has worked with the owner of the failed resort to plant screening trees around the perimeter, the planting has not been overly successful with the trees struggling to stay alive. Local Kelly Hammond has been campaigning for the better part of 10 years to get action on the derelict site. She told News Of The Area, “The cultural centre and interchange expected to start early next year adjacent to the Anna Bay eyesore is leaving the

“I know of many people that believe we will now have a massive increase in rubbish, and that is a real concern. “In council I negotiated that one of their conditions of consent would require the

store to have an increased level of effort (over and above their standard practices) of rubbish surveillance and disposal for our town. “I ask people to remember that it is not Macca’s that leave their rubbish everywhere, it is (some of) the consumers that are doing the wrong thing. “Do you blame Coca-Cola when you see an empty coke can on the side of the road? “Macca’s is also a major sponsor and supporter of Clean Up Australia Day.” Cr Doohan reminded

community a little divided. “Anna Bay residents and businesses are excited to see progress but can't help raising the issue of the white elephant at the end of the street. “The failed derelict site will clearly be visible from the $11 million joint venture and we can only hope this encourages the sale of 74 - 84 Gan Gan Road. “Council negotiated a clean up after the land environmental court got involved but compliance is questionable. “The trees planted by Council over two years ago failed to take off but native bush and sand are growing behind the fence line and the swimming pool is one large sand pit,” she said.

NSW Reopens AFTER more than 100 days of restrictions NSW took its first steps back to normal life on Monday. Businesses across the state opened their doors to customers on Monday, 11 October, with patrons required to demonstrate they have been doublevaccinated and are willing to comply with physical-distance requirements. Premier Dominic Perrottet said Monday was the first step in seeing some restrictions lifted for those who are double-vaccinated, and for businesses around the state to re-open and get the NSW economy back to business. “There is a sense of optimism out there with thousands of businesses across the State busy preparing to open their doors tomorrow. NSW you’ve earned this,” Mr Perrottet said on Sunday. “As we re-open after more than 100 days we ask everyone to treat staff with kindness and respect when they ask you to check-in or see your vaccination certificate. “Following these simple measures will help keep us all safe and keep us moving forward out of the pandemic.” Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart

WHILE NSW celebrates the return of various freedoms, the Hunter remains on high alert as Covid-19 cases continue to rise across sections of the community. On Sunday, a day prior to NSW reopening, Hunter New England Health recorded 56 confirmed cases of Covid-19 across the district, including two from Port Stephens and three from the MidCoast LGA.

Port Stephens reported 59 locally acquired COVID-19 cases and tests in the four weeks up to 8pm 9 October 2021, while the MidCoast recorded 27 cases in that period. What is very alarming is the sudden rise of cases within the Hunter’s Indigenous community this week. According to Hunter New England Health, this week Indigenous people made up 20% of cases in the Hunter region, a

rise of 19% from last week. They say three out of five Aboriginal people with Covid-19 in the local health district are aged under 25, with at least 60 Indigenous people in the Hunter having caught the virus this week. To allow the region a last chance to get vaccinated before restrictions ease, additional Pfizer vaccinations were made available at the Belmont Vaccination Hub with a hospitality Super Sunday conducted on 10 October.

Fire Services Update

The latest statistics from the Australian Governments Operation COVID Shield report that the Port Stephens vaccination rate is at 70.2% first dose. Only 40.6% of the 60,306 people aged over 16 residing in the area are double dosed. WhIle NSW case numbers are dropping and now sit in the 500’s daily the Hunter is recording case loads of around 100 per day with the focus area being in Lake Macquarie.

Ayres welcomed the reopening and reminded people to act responsibly when going out. “NSW has pulled together to get our vaccination rate to more than 70 per cent, which means we can begin the reopening process. “We need the same spirit of cooperation to keep people safe and ensure that venues remain open. “Like many people, I can’t wait to have a beer and a schnitty at my local, but we all have a responsibility to stick by the rules. “Book ahead, check-in with your QR code, show proof of vaccination, be respectful to staff and look after each other.” Health Minister Brad Hazzard said it is vital that NSW residents continue

to roll up their sleeves to push the state’s rates of double vaccination even higher. “The community has done a fantastic job to reach the 70 per cent double dose target, but we must keep going. “We want to get to as close to 100 per cent double vaccination as possible to keep everyone safe,” Mr Hazzard said. “Vaccination is our greatest weapon against the virus, together with social distancing, hand sanitising, mask wearing and getting tested when we have symptoms – which all remain important as we navigate our way out of this pandemic.” Digital and Customer Service

Minister Victor Dominello encouraged people to have their vaccination status ready to go. “There are already three ways to get a copy of your vaccine certificate, through the Express Plus Medicare app, the digital wallet on their phone or a paper certificate from Services Australia," Mr Dominello said "We have successfully started testing the integration of the vaccine certificate into the ServiceNSW app and are expanding the pilot into the regions this week which is exciting. “Until then, please ensure you have your proof of vaccination ready. “The nsw.gov.au website has all the materials needed to help businesses re-open safely and we

No Sydney Visitors Yet By Marian SAMPSON

WHILE many have been concerned about seeing a rush of people arrive from Sydney as the state opens up this week, there has been a reprieve. The population of Greater Sydney is not able to travel to the regions just yet.

The rule will allow people in the regions that have suffered from a lack of available vaccines a chance to become fully vaccinated. There will be no day trips or visits with grandparents just yet. Those living in Sydney are restricted to the Sydney basin, Wollongong, Central Coast and Blue

Mountains. At this point in time this will change when the state reaches 80% double dose vaccination rates. However people living in regional NSW are now able to travel to Port Stephens and the Myall Coast. While we get ready there is still

some caution from locals, some of whom are saying, “I’m not rushing out to the shops just yet…” Others are keen to break out with some positive retail therapy and of course a cold one at their local pub. Kate Washington, Member for Port Stephens, said, “Following my late night phone calls to the Health Minister last night, it’s been confirmed today that Greater

Dementia Increases COVID Risks By Marian SAMPSON

OLDER Australians have always been at higher risk from COVID and now there is now evidence that people living with Dementia are also more vulnerable. Dementia Australia supports mandatory vaccinations across the aged care sector and urges people living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment, and their loved ones, to receive a COVID-19 vaccination as soon as possible. Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe AM said people living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment are more vulnerable to contracting severe COVID-19 and once infected, have a high risk of disease-related morbidity and mortality. “We know that during this pandemic people living with dementia are some of the most vulnerable people in our community,” Ms McCabe said. Dementia Australia Honorary Medical Advisor Associate Professor Michael Woodward AM said recent research on the impact of the pandemic shows that people living with dementia, especially those in residential aged care, are at risk of worsening dementia and psychiatric symptoms, and severe behavioural disturbances as a result of lockdown measures and social isolation.

q Newcastle Libraries has a memory room program for older people to access. Memory Room participants Sarah Greentree-Beddow and her mother Sandra Greentree, and program facilitator Alice Ropata. The Memory Room uses images and items from the Local History collection to evoke memories and encourage participants to share stories and laughter. “We need high levels of vaccination across the sector and in the community to protect people living with dementia or mild cognitive impairment, their families and carers,” Assoc Prof Woodward said. “Mandatory vaccination of the aged care workforce will reassure people impacted by dementia and their families that they are supported by people who are vaccinated and significantly less likely to spread the virus.”

“Residential aged care workers are leading Australia’s overall vaccination rates and these numbers continue to grow. We acknowledge our aged care workers for leading the community in being vaccinated.” Dementia Advocate Bobby Redman, who is living with dementia, said, “Home-care workers often visit the homes of many different clients each week. “I feel much safer knowing that, as a condition of employment,

my carers are now vaccinated and keeping us safe.” People living with dementia, their families and carers have told Dementia Australia that despite the high levels of vaccination of staff and residents, some residential aged care homes have still not been able to offer appropriate alternatives to essential visits and this has resulted in poor physical and psychological outcomes for residents with dementia. “During this time, the aged care

“People with disability are at greater risk of sickness and death if they get infected with COVID, but vaccination rates are still way too low for our community members to be protected now that the virus is being allowed to run free. “The Victorian Government has recognised this and is to be commended by responding last week with $5 million of dedicated funding for vaccination programs specifically targeting people with disability. “Other governments across Australia – and the NSW government in particular – also need to understand that putting at-risk people in further danger is unconscionable and must set vaccination targets and improve vaccination strategies for people with disability and their support workers to ensure people with disability can be safe.” In addition, Ms Connor says there

are serious issues which are NSW specific which must be addressed as a matter of urgency to ensure disabled people are not left behind and put at risk. “These include issues around ‘special schools’, boarding houses, prisons and other state run facilities, as well as issues around ensuring people with disability have equitable access to health care and are not discriminated against or deprioritised. There are potential legal challenges ahead for state and territory governments if decisionmaking is not equitable, fair and responsive.” Last week, the National COVID Vaccine taskforce reported that just over a third of NDIS participants, less than two-thirds of NDIS participants in shared residential accommodation and just over half of NDIS screened support workers have received two vaccine doses. “However, these figures don’t include the hundreds of thousands of people with disability who live

in residential settings, boarding houses, hospitals or other congregate settings. “The vaccination status of these people is unknown. “For NDIS participants aged between 12 and 15, the vaccination rate is just 4.8%. “Another huge issue is the vaccination rates of disability workers. “Taskforce data show only 59.3% of NDIS ‘screened workers’ are fully vaccinated. “However, we estimate that ‘screened workers’ only make up around half of the disability workforce, which means the vaccination status of half our disability workforce is unknown.” Ms Connor says in most other countries, including the USA and the UK, programs ensured disabled people and those who are at risk were vaccinated first. “This has not been the case in Australia. “In fact just last week the Disability Royal Commission

Fears for people with disability as NSW opens up DISABILITY advocates hold grave concerns that sluggish efforts to vaccinate people with disability in NSW will mean many disabled people now face sickness and death as the state starts to open up this week from COVID lockdown. National peak disability advocacy organisation People With Disability Australia (PWDA) is calling on decision-makers in NSW and across the country to not lose focus as restrictions ease and redouble efforts to ensure that all NDIS participants, disabled people and other at risk individuals are prioritised for vaccination. PWDA President Samantha Connor said, “While many people think that a loosening of lockdown means the worst is over, the opposite is true for many people with disability because for them the worst is yet to come.

Sydney cannot travel to the regions from Monday. “Not for holidays. “Not for day trips. “We must be given a chance to get our vaccination rates up after our struggle to access vaccines. “For Greater Sydney, travel to the regions - for one day or a holiday - is only permitted at the 80% vaccination threshold,” she said. sector is under increasing stress. “For those impacted by dementia, there will be an added layer of anxiety,” Ms McCabe said. “A focus on promoting social engagement to restore mental health and wellbeing as we move beyond lockdown solutions is in everybody’s best interests. “Dementia Australia is here to support the 472,000 Australians living with dementia and the 1.6 million people involved in their care. “Please get in touch with our National Dementia Helpline as questions and concerns arise, on 1800 100 500 or visit dementia. org.au for webchat, resources and information in other languages.” One Port Stephens family that self manages their Level 4 package told News Of The Area, “Sadly we have had to let one of our care team members go as they did not want to get vaccinated.” However the family is confident that they will find another carer through the Mable platform. For support, please contact the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500. An interpreter service is available and the Helpline is open 8am to 8pm Monday to Friday excluding public holidays. The National Dementia Helpline is funded by the Australian Government. People looking for information can also visit dementia.org.au.

released a report lambasting the deprioritisation of people with disability in Australia’s COVID response and urging governments to not ease restrictions until all people with disability have had the opportunity to be fully vaccinated. “And rather than vaccine hesitancy, the barriers to vaccination that people with disability are experiencing – according to recent research by the National Disability Insurance Agency – are more likely to be caused by lack of support, lack of access and supply issues. “So rather than victim-blaming people with disability, what we want to see is greater commitment by all governments to give people with disability the shot they deserve for a safe and healthy future.” “We’ve developed a very clear 11 point plan to protect people with disability and we’re calling for all politicians, decision-makers and bureaucrats to uphold our rights and to urgently engage with disability representative organisations to make sure that people with disability don’t get left behind.”

New Cops For Port Stephens By Marian SAMPSON

Statewide, the NSW Police Force has welcomed 226 police recruits after they were sworn in as probationary constables at a ceremony in Goulburn. The ceremony was attended by Minister for Police and Emergency Services David Elliott, NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller APM and Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman.

3 Course Challenge By Marian SAMPSON

WHILE October is the month we are finally allowed out, we can also do something positive by staying in. Breast Cancer Trials is Australia’s largest breast cancer clinical trials research organisation. They conduct research into the prevention and cure of breast cancer and have helped to save millions of lives from breast cancer worldwide through research collaboration. In October Breast Cancer Trials is asking us to participate in the 3 Course Challenge which encourages food lovers from all over Australia to ‘stay in

and entertain’ this October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) to support clinical trials research which aims to save every life from breast cancer. This delicious fundraising initiative invites Australians to take on the challenge of cooking a three course Indian feast to raise money for lifesaving breast cancer clinical trials research. To support dinner party hosts, a live streamed virtual cooking class will be held by top chef, former MasterChef and TV personality Sarah Todd, who will guide them in preparing a menu of three Indian dishes that they will later cook for their guests. The dinner party hosts

will reach out to their networks of friends and family to encourage them to donate to Breast Cancer Trials research. Sarah’s specialty cuisine is modern Indian and she owns three restaurants in India. The menu that Sarah created for the 3 Course Challenge is inspired by the flavours of India. The great news is that this challenge is done from the safety of your own home. The cooking class is live streamed online on 16 October, and dinner parties can be held anytime until 30 November (restrictions permitting).

Because we all know that with COVID-19 planning can be hard there is a plan B in the case of lockdowns. If dinner party hosts are experiencing COVID lockdown restrictions, cooking for their household or hosting a virtual dinner party via a platform like Zoom, are all fun ways to stay active, positive and connected, whilst supporting people affected by breast cancer. All participants are encouraged to adhere to any COVID-19 rules and restrictions which apply in their area. You can find out more at www.3coursechallenge.com. au While research is the way to defeat breast cancer in the long term, screening is important and women are being reminded not to delay their breast cancer screening.

Class 349 included 153 men and 73 women.

A total of 34 recruits were born overseas in countries including Brazil, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Iraq, Germany, Egypt, Serbia, Korea and NZ. Three recruits are Indigenous. The recruits have completed eight months of foundational training and those allocated to commands within Port Stephens will report to their stations from Monday 11 October 2021.

MINISERIES: NEW GOLD MOUNTAIN

SBS, 9.30pm

FRIDAY

ANNIKA

ABC, 8.30pm

This police procedural is not like the other fish in the police procedural sea. Nicola Walker (pictured, Unforgotten) teems with charisma as the titular character: a book loving, straight-talking woman who is a single mother to a bad-tempered teenager. She has moved to Scotland to head up the Marine Homicide Unit, which is busy trying to solve maritime crimes in a by-the-numbers way – until Annika arrives. It’s a police procedural with a different atmosphere that boasts some awesome Scottish scenery.

For a split second, you could be forgiven for wondering what sort of dark doco you have stumbled across if accidentally tuning into New Gold Mountain. This fresh series is a bold move by SBS: it’s the first locally produced period drama for the network. Filmed in Victoria, the Gold Rush-era drama is a murder mystery laced with humour. Starring Alyssa Sutherland (Vikings), Yoson An (pictured, Mulan) and Dan Spielman (The Code), it’s unique in giving a Chinese perspective of life in 1800s Victorian goldfields. In tonight’s penultimate episode, Shing (An) desperately tries to find the truth.

LOVE ISLAND AUSTRALIA AFTERPARTY

NBN, 9.30pm

It’s hard to resist an afterparty when you’re having such a blast. Sure, you may regret it the next day, but what about the stories you’ll have to tell? For those who can’t get enough of the cheeky antics on Love Island Australia, here’s your chance to decompress and analyse all the loved-up and lusty action. Hosted by the candid Abbie Chatfield (pictured), who gained infamy after her runner-up stint on The Bachelor Australia, this is where the dumped Islanders drop by to chat about their experiences in the Byron Bay villa. Like the whipped icing on top of a cupcake, the show features the stuff you love, but don’t necessarily need: gossip, behindthe-scenes stories and exclusive interviews. 1510

Local politicians react to GIVE YOUR HOME THAT STREET APPEAL Perrottet appointment “Standing in the street looking at our home, we can’t help thinking it looks a little ‘hard’. It’s neat and tidy but doesn’t seem to have ‘soul’. Any tips?”

YOU don’t have to be selling to want your property to have street appeal. And street appeal doesn’t just mean neat and tidy. It’s about creating an inviting bond between your front garden and home; one that appeals to the eye. You say your property looks a ‘little hard’ so I’m thinking that means limited garden, possibly an angular shape and maybe a dark exterior colour scheme? Whether applicable to one or more of those characteristics, I’d suggest an exterior colour scheme sympathetic to its surroundings; a scheme that combines a feature colour with one or two complimentary trim colours. Then develop a garden scheme to compliment. Soft, rounded foliage in shrubs and trees, pops of colour that tie in with your exterior house paint and curved brick, or stone paths will soften your exterior and create a lovely welcoming impression. I suggest looking at paint colours, paint some samples on your exterior and leave them for a while to catch the changing light, then when you’ve decided, take those samples and a photo of your home to your nursery and chat with the plant experts about what best suits.

By Tara CAMPBELL IT’S time for the weekly police and emergency services update for Port Stephens.

Arrest After Pursuit At approximately 9:00pm on Monday evening in Medowie, officers from the Port Stephens Hunter Police District saw a black Commodore driving around the area. After failing to stop under police orders, the police engaged in a short pursuit before the

vehicle owner drove into the front yard of a nearby premises. Police followed the vehicle and subsequently arrested the driver under suspicion of driving under the influence. A search of the vehicle resulted in the location of an extendable baton which is prohibited, and the male was charged with a DUI offence and possession of a prohibited weapon. He has been given conditional bail and will be

IN the wake of former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and former deputy premier John Barilaro resigning last week, a new leader has emerged. Treasurer Dominic Perrottet was elected leader of the NSW Liberal Party and therefore NSW Premier, beating Planning Minister Rob Stokes. At 39 years of age, Mr Perrottet is the youngest Premier elected in NSW history. A staunch Catholic and a supporter of former US President Donald Trump, Mr Perrottet has attracted criticism and concerns about whether his

religious beliefs and conservative views will influence the way that he governs the state. In the past, Mr Perrotet openly opposed samesex marriage and the legalisation of abortion in NSW. Member for Myall Lakes Stephen Bromhead welcomed the appointment of Mr Perrottet. “The appointment of Dominic Perrottet as the Premier of NSW along with the NSW Nationals in Government electing Paul Toole as the new Deputy Premier marks a new era in the history of our State,” Mr Bromhead told News Of The

Area. “Dominic and Paul have considerable experience that will prove invaluable for our State.” “There are many important projects coming up in the Myall Lakes and as we continue to navigate our way through COVID, I’m looking forward to working closely with our new leaders.” Other politicians were not so welcoming of the new Premier. Kate Washington, Member for Port Stephens, reminded constituents about Mr Perrottet’s decisions as Treasurer. “As Treasurer, Dom Perrottet

reversed a pay rise for our nurses and paramedics in the middle of a pandemic,” she said in a damning Facebook post. “This was his way of saying ‘thanks’.” Ms Washington also pointed out Mr Perrotet’s alleged maltreatment of injured and dying workers through the infamous iCare program and the fact that he privatised “... billions worth of public assets”. She also alleges that Mr Perrottet “left thousands of businesses without support during lockdowns”.

Port Stephens Crime and Police update

In the past

month, residents have reported a large amount of unregistered, illegal trail bike activities in and around the Port Stephens area.

Detective Superintendent Chad Gillies, Commander for Port Stephens Hunter Police district told News Of The Area, “Whilst

WELL, here we are - opening up week. It should be a time of excitement, but I am actually thinking I quite enjoyed lockdown. The place was less congested. The kids were happier being at home. Learner driving instruction was a breeze with less cars on the road. We realised the importance of exercise again and we didn't have to catch up with people or make excuses not to. What are your thoughts? Mr Barry V. BARRY, the pandemic has really been a time to shine for those who have reclusive natures. It became not only acceptable to be a hermit and avoid others, but you were commended for it. When did you think you would hear the words, 'Barry, you have to work from home’, interspersing your meetings with time with your cat and your Diecast models and your Chillaxed playlist without any need to drive through peak hour traffic, listen to Roger from marketing rant about his latest Tinder date, take out the office bin for Mariah with her dodgy hip and all the other daily interactions you could do without. And, on top of it all, you got paid. Paid to stay home. What fresh new nirvana is that for someone who has lived a life of avoidance. It's tough, Barry. As a writer, I have intentionally chosen the life of a recluse and now you've all discovered the hidden joys of working from home - only needing to be dressed professionally from the waist up, exercise breaks, no interruptions, no workplace illnesses from some snotty-nosed accountant who thinks he's so important that he has to soldier on and infect the entire workplace. What's not to love? This logic doesn't work, however, for those in hands-on jobs. You can't build a house from your office, or take blood, or pick and pack orders, or deliver furniture and food. So, unfortunately, Barry, this utopia you speak of is unsustainable for many, but if you can continue to get away with it, good luck to you. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

and months engaging with other agencies to make a real dent in we have committed daily taskings to this this kind of activity. “My message to to try and detour and identify these riders, those people who I am also committing are engaging in this activity is that it's to operations over illegal, it's dangerous, the coming weeks and not only do you risk fines and or arrest, you also risk having you bike confiscated and seized by the police under court order, and we will do that and we make no apology for it,” Detective Superintendent Gillies said.

Become a Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary Ambassador KOALA-LOVERS are being sought to become the first volunteer Koala Sanctuary Ambassadors in Port Stephens. Council’s Holiday Park Section Manager Kim Latham says it’s an exciting opportunity for people with a passion for koalas, the environment and providing an excellent customer experience. “We’re looking for volunteers to become our first Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary Ambassadors.

Additionally, the AIS is collaborating with the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI), University of Newcastle and University of Canberra on a research program that will assess the brain health of retired elite level athletes. AIS Chief Medical Officer

“Our friendly Ambassadors will help make our guest experience even more memorable by providing a warm welcome, delivering our Koala Experience tours and lending a helping hand to our guests. “While customer service experience is a plus, volunteers will receive all the training required and will typically do a three hour shift per week. “Shifts are available during the week or on the weekend, so it’s flexible for those who have work, study or have other commitments. “It’s quite an active role, so there will be plenty of opportunity to see the park

Applications close 11:59pm Sunday 17 October. For more information and to apply, visit portstephens. nsw.gov.au/koalasanctuary.

Researching the brain health of retired athletes from collision and non-collision sports

Dr David Hughes said the project would improve the understanding of long-term brain health of retired elite athletes, in both collision and non-collision sports. “This project will evaluate several domains of brain health in retired elite athletes including neuropsychological assessment, brain imaging, objective somatosensory assessment and potential involvement in a brain donor program,” Dr Hughes said. “Associate Professor Andrew Gardner of HMRI and the University of Newcastle has been leading

one of the largest and most comprehensive brain health research programs for retired athletes in the world, involving in-person evaluations of more than 150 retired elite level collision sport players. The AIS, HMRI, The University of Newcastle and University of Canberra are combining to take this further, recruiting a control group of retired non-collision elite athletes. “We are aiming to collect data on the brain health of more than 40 retired athletes from non-collision sports

every year. “This study is available to former elite level men and women athletes who were not involved in contact or collision sport.” The AIS launched the Concussion in Sport Australia: Position Statement is a collaboration with the Australian Medical Association, Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians, and Sports Medicine Australia. It will be updated by the start of 2023 and will address the latest evidence on concussion in female

athletes, concussion in para-athletes, potential implications for long-term brain health and the utility of specific physiotherapyguided rehabilitation in the management of concussion. “This has proved to be a wonderful resource for sport, but we need to ensure it is continually updated to reflect the latest evidence and research, with enhanced educational tools that are easily accessible to all in Australian sport,” Dr Hughes said. “We want all Australians to be able to safely enjoy the

many physical and mental health benefits sport can provide.” Football’s elite coach Wayne Bennett is also calling for changes to rules surrounding head knocks. In the NRL Grand Final Rabbitohs forward Jai Arrow was temporarily allowed to play on despite being "knocked out”. Ultimately the outcome of this research could change grassroots sport in the community in the long term and create better long term outcomes for all athletes.
