Gillespie urges people to get the flu vaccine early this year WITH the 2020 flu season not far away, all Australians —and especially those in vulnerable groups or age brackets— should arrange vaccination against seasonal influenza during the month of April. Federal Member for Lyne, Dr David Gillespie urged Australians to speak to their GP, pharmacist or aged care provider to arrange a flu vaccination over the coming weeks. “Whilst flu vaccination does not prevent against COVID-19, a flu vaccination is critical to protecting the general health of Australians from

influenza, and preventing an unnecessary burden on our hospitals of seasonal flu,” Dr Gillespie said. “The Australian Government has invested more than $80 million to provide more free vaccines under the National Immunisation Program in 2020 than ever before, including an enhanced vaccination for people aged 65 years and over.” In total over 13.5 million doses of seasonal influenza vaccines have been secured, this includes over 4 million doses of Fluad Quad® for those aged 65 years and older.” The National

Gillespie urges people to get the flu vaccine early this year FROM Page 1
Immunisation Program provides free vaccines to those most at risk, including: · Pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy; · People aged 65 years and older; · People aged six months and older with certain medical risk factors; and · For the first time, all children aged between six months and five years. Receiving a vaccination from April provides optimal protection in the peak period of influenza circulation, usually
from June to September in most parts of Australia. This year it is even more important to be vigilant about the flu because of the COVID-19 pandemic. While there is not yet a vaccine or effective treatment for COVID-19, vaccination provides an effective defence against the flu. Vaccinating against the flu will reduce the risk of a very dangerous double-up of flu and coronavirus—both diseases affecting the respiratory system. Vaccinated people of all ages are less likely to get the flu and if they do, are less
likely to have a severe case. Fewer cases and fewer severe cases of flu will result in less demand on our health care system. The actions that we take to slow the spread of COVID-19 can also stop the spread of influenza and other viruses. Every one of us has a responsibility to contribute to this effort by: · Practising good hygiene · Practising social distancing · Following the Government’s directions on public gatherings and workplaces, and · Understanding how and when to self-isolate.

FROM Page 1 region. Illegal dumping of rubbish and waste has been reported occurring in the Tea Gardens' Lions Park Lookout and the Skate Park, as well as in Nature Reserves and seaside areas throughout the Myall Coast. In some locations, dumping is happening daily. Dumping degrades environmental beauty, creates health and safety hazards, and attracts vermin and weeds. Local Police have been alerted and advise anyone who sees dumping to photograph and report it to the NSW Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and to the Midcoast Council. Locals can use their mobile phones to Report Illegal Dumping (RID). The RID online website supports people who report dumping, including uploading photos and location information.

In keeping with Government directives, the Courts have modified their practices to minimise the personal attendance of legal practitioners and parties at the Court. This is done with a view to protecting the health and safety of the community, Judges and staff. Court events are primarily conducted by telephone or Audio Visual Link, involving Judges, legal practitioners and parties. Of course,
this comes with its own challenges and the Court has been working together with the legal profession to develop innovative ways to make it work.

Consulate of Araucania-Patagonia opens in Tea Gardens Peter Hodges of Tea Gardens has been appointed a Consul of the Kingdom of Araucania-Patagonia, an unofficial State located in Chile and Argentina, South America.
By Sandra MURRAY
PETER Hodges of Tea Gardens has been appointed a Consul of the Kingdom of Araucania-Patagonia, an unofficial State located in Chile and Argentina, South America. The ancient Kingdom is home to the Mapuche Indians, famed for their delicious
age-old cuisine, and beautifully-intricate artwork and fabrics. In 2019, Peter was asked by Prince Stanislas I of Patagonia to open a Consulate in Australia. This request followed Peter’s induction into the Périgord Fine Arts Academy in France in 2018.

4 NEWS OF THE AREA MYALL COAST
As Consul, Peter’s role is to facilitate friendship and understanding between Australia and the Kingdom of AraucaniaPatagonia. One of Peter’s first official duties was attending the opening of the Consulate of Araucania-Patagoni, Périgueux, in south west France. Many dignitaries attended, including Prince Stanislas, the Marquis of Montebello, the Count Roland de Lary de Latour, the Baroness Duhamel, and Sir Jean-Jacques d’Allemans, just to name a few. Peter, and his wife Kerry, have now opened the Consulate with a public space in their Tillermans Restaurant at Tea Gardens. A local favorite, the French inspired restaurant and now Consulate, is sharing insights into the amazing Kingdom of Araucania-Patagonia. Through film, photography, cuisine, language and art, Peter is committed to sharing the Indian culture with locals and even more so when social distancing laws are relaxed. Tillermans' feature French films about the
NewsOfTheArea.com.au
life of the King of Araucania-Patagonia, as well as hosting a photographic Exhibition. This will be accompanied by a menu of traditional Mapuche cuisine, complimented by Patagonian wines. Peter told NOTA that France, South America and Australia connections are strengthening, stating, “In 1859, a French lawyer by the name of Antoine de Tounens travelled to South America in search of adventure. He became the first King of Patagonia. He was later arrested by Chilean authorities for subversion and returned to France where he lived in exile until his death. Every year since, his life is celebrated with a wonderful lunch that is also the Festival of Saint Rose of Lima, the Patron Saint of South American indigenous people. The Festival is traditionally celebrated in late August and hopefully local restaurants will be open again.” Tillermans Café Restaurant is currently open, offering fabulous three course feasts to take away as well as coffee, fresh bagels and croissants, home-made soups and an open shopping space.

NSW Health advise that there were 2,854 coronavirus cases in NSW and 24 deaths as at 11 April. Nationally there are 6,313 cases and 59 deaths as at 3pm on 12 April. By comparison, last week NOTA reported there were 5,687 cases and 35 deaths. Of the confirmed NSW cases, 270 in the Hunter New England Health District (as at 11 April), up 25 cases from the 245 cases reported last week. Good news is that the daily rate of increase has fallen over the past fortnight, indicating that social isolation measures are working and require sustainment. More good news from the Australian Government which is now supporting small businesses and households, experiencing additional financial stress due to utility bills
MIDCOAST Council has implemented further closures to support NSW Police in their endeavours to stop non-essential outings, with all beaches in the region closed until the end of the school holiday period. This means no one can access any MidCoast Council controlled beaches across the region for any reason and the NSW Police will be out enforcing these closures. “Anyone caught flouting these rules will risk being fined by Police,” explained Paul De Szell, Council’s Director of Liveable Communities. “We know this will hit our community very hard, particularly with the school holidays coming, however it’s a necessary closure at this time - we need to protect our community and we do not know who will breach the Public Health Order and still travel to the area.” The beach closures are the latest in a long list of Council managed sites and
with

facilities that have had to be restricted to the public to help stop the spread of COVID19 locally. These closures include the Manning Regional Art Gallery, the Manning Entertainment Centre, parks and playgrounds, ocean baths and tidal pools, public swimming pools including YMCAs, the Taree airport terminal and more. “We have 84 managed access tracks across 16 beaches along our coastline and the message from the NSW Police, with our support, is that you can expect to be caught and fined if you try and get on to one of these beaches.” For a full list of closures across the MidCoast head to Council’s website www. midcoast.nsw.gov.au/covid19 To find out more about the NSW Government’s Public Health (COVID-19 Restrictions on Gathering and Movement) Order 2020 go to https://www.legislation. nsw.gov.au
These bills keep coming despite lost income due to the adverse impact of COVID-19 on income. Measures being implemented include offering flexible payments; stopping disconnections for those demonstrating financial stress; deferring debt recovery proceedings and credit default listing; waiving late fees and interest charges on associated debts; and providing additional time and/or payment plans. Many utility and insurance providers are also capping any price increases. For assistance do not wait, contact your utility or insurance provider (online where possible). COVID-19 updates are provided by the Australian Department of Health on 1800 020 080. If you are concerned about symptoms, call your local doctor or call the Health Direct Line on 1800 022 222. For local council updates about COVID-19 and social distancing orders go to www.midcoast.nsw.gov.au/covid19.
No, this is not how low we have stooped. This is (allegedly) how low a couple of young people have stooped and they are not at all reflective of our broader community. Stories such as this one can be really distressing, and they are distressing because most of us cannot fathom, in our wildest dreams, how people could be so uncaring, so insensitive and so devoid of humanity as to cough on vulnerable people in times when they are already anxious. I think it is important not to dwell on those seeking attention in repulsive ways and instead focus on the many incredible ways people in our community are supporting each other. Just within my small group of friends and neighbours, I have experienced people sharing recipes, bartering fish for meat, checking in with elderly friends, having Zoom parties instead of the usual weekend catch-ups, and helping each other with kids’ homework (who knew Year 9 maths was so challenging?). I’ve also witnessed locals respecting social distancing measures, but saying hearty greetings to each other as they walk past while exercising, smiling more and generally getting out of their bubbles and realising the many things we have to be grateful for, particularly in an area as spacious and beautiful as Port Stephens. Businesses are being incredibly innovative and coming up with new ways to meet their customers’ needs. Parents are learning how to be tech-savvy via their children. Pets are being adopted. Many are returning to a simpler way of living – planting veggie patches, baking and even buying chooks. In the midst of this pandemic, there is a lot of good out there. I’m not going to get all Louise Hay or Deepak Chopra on you, but the behaviour of a couple of (insert your collective noun of choice – mine will be censored out by the editor) is not representative of our wonderful community. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Libraries helping the community
While our libraries have shut their doors we are continuing to provide a home library service (with strict health practices in place) and are also offering online services. The library had increased lending limits at the beginning of last week and with news of the impending closure of all branches there was a run on the books. To put this in context, the preceding Wednesday the library service had lent out 1,912 items, on our final day we lent out 12,688 items. There are virtually no thrillers left on the shelves and very few romance and family saga novels. The Library has also been ramping up its online services and the community is responding Since the beginning of the month there has been a 40% growth in the loans of eBooks and a 20% growth in the loan of eAudio on our popular BorrowBox platform. We expect this number to grow steadily. The library has also just launched a new IndyReads eBook and eAudio collection and is planning a further online collection, through the RbDigital platform. It also continues to provide access to an online magazine collection, streamed films, online training courses and online storytelling.

Demographic
Our area is the oldest aged group in NSW if not Australia. We are therefore one of the most vulnerable groups to Covid 19. Therefore we must be vigilant and serious in social distancing. We must also note that currently those in ICU are aged from 30-80. It is essential we heed the message of non-essential travel. We need to understand the threat of community transmission and therefore avoid contact with others. We also must be aware that we are coming in to our flu season and if we get the flu our immunity is weakened. So it is not just a matter of avoiding Covid 19 but as an older demographic we need to be watchful and mindful of catching the flu. I ask everyone to look after yourselves and others. Stay in contact through phone or social media. Isolation is a real problem that also can affect lives. Please reach out to your neighbours and friends to ensure they are OK. To stay up to date on Covid 19 visit: aus.gov.au/covid19-nsw You can obtain all types of information including cases by postcode and sign up to receive a regular newsletter. We must all follow the stay at home rules to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, save lives and protect our health workers.
THE westerly winds, cooler seas and the full moon over Easter all provide the perfect tides and topwater for this year's sea mullet fish run. At this time, adult sea mullet leave inland coastal waters in large schools and head northwards along the coastline to their spawning grounds. Many are driven into Port Stephens and up the Karuah River. Its a perfect time for fishing which is still permitted under the COVID-19 restrictions with social distancing in place (1.5m) and with a current NSW Fishing Licence. Best spots are riverside including off Barnes Rocks at Jimmys Beach and riverside down past the Singing Bridge at Tea Gardens. Professional fishermen are also preparing to fish the mullet, however with COVID-19 restrictions, the market will mostly be local. The Tea Gardens Fishermans Co-Op will be selling the mullet which is a bonus for the local economy. Karen Malone from the Co-Op and a born and bred local is looking forward to another mullet run. “It's different every year, depending on the weather and the seas” Karen told
NOTA, adding, ”And the Coop is still open every day. We have had some decline in sales and our staff are working day-to-day but the fresh seafood is still
fabulous.” In NSW the minimum legal length for sea mullet is 30cm with a recreational bag limit of 20.

VOLUNTEERS are continuing to work on parks and garden maintenance across the MidCoast Council area, however they are doing so on an individual basis to enable them to meet social distancing requirements imposed as part of the COVID-19 pandemic response.

our community,” Council’s Director of Liveable Communities Paul De Szell said. “With over 3000 hectares of Parks, 750 hectares of which require mowing there is a huge need for this work to continue so we can provide our community with maintained open space for them to continue to exercise and take care of themselves both physically and mentally at this time.” Mr De Szell said this is likely to result in reductions in the level of service in some areas that rely heavily on volunteers. “Areas where our Parks and gardens staff undertake maintenance work will continue as usual.” Meanwhile groups such as Dunecare, Landcare and bush regeneration works have been suspended on Council owned or managed land.

Mental health and wellbeing during the
Coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak THE outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19 has impacted people in varying ways on an international scale. It is understandable that during times like this, people may be feeling afraid, worried, anxious and overwhelmed by the constantly changing alerts and media coverage regarding the spread of the virus. While it is important to stay informed, the following are some mental health and wellbeing tips and strategies from Lifeline, to continue looking after ourselves and each other during these difficult times.
Manage your exposure to media coverage as this can
increase feelings of fear and anxiety. Be mindful of sources of information and ensure you are accessing good quality and accurate information.
Follow a “calm yet cautious” approach – do your best to
remain calm and be mindful not to contribute to the widespread panic that can hinder efforts to positively manage the outbreak. Ensure you are following directives issued by the government, medical advice and observe good hygiene habits.
Show compassion and kindness to one another –
these times of fear, isolation (both physical and social) and uncertainty
Thursday, 16 April, 2020
are when it is most important that we strengthen our sense of community by connecting with and supporting each other. Remind ourselves that we can manage this much better together in solidarity, and that COVID-19 doesn’t discriminate – it can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, nationality or ethnicity.
Actively manage your wellbeing by maintaining routines where possible, connect with family and friends (even if not in person), staying physically active, eating nutritious foods and seeking additional support by contacting Lifeline or further professional support as required.
Strategies to cope with social distancing, self-isolation or
quarantine Going into a period of social distancing, self-isolation or quarantine may feel daunting or overwhelming, and can contribute to feelings of helplessness and fear. In addition to the above, we encourage the following; ● Perspective – try to see this time as unique and different, not necessarily bad, even if it something you didn’t necessarily choose ● Connection – think of creative ways to stay connected with others, including social media, email and phone ● Be generous to others – giving to others in times of need not only helps
the recipient, it enhances your wellbeing too. Is there a way to help others around you? ● Stay connected with your values. Don’t let fear or anxiety drive your interactions with others. We are all in this together! ● Daily routine – create a routine that prioritises things you enjoy and even things you have been meaning to do but haven’t had enough time. Read that book, watch that show, take up that new hobby. ● Try to see this as a new and unusual period that might even have some benefits. ● Limit your exposure to news and media. Perhaps choose specific times of day when you will get updates, and ensure they are from reputable and reliable sources.
Staying connected through the
COVID-19 crisis Research after the SARS pandemic in Hong Kong in 2008, provides evidence of the significance of connection through epidemics. It found that residents in Hong Kong experienced increased social connectedness, which offset the negative mental health impacts of the pandemic. As connection is so important during this time, here are some tips on staying connected to others during this time. Remember – we are all in this together. ● If there is someone you think
NewsOfTheArea.com.au
may struggle through social isolation, it is important to reach out to them and let them know you care: ● Call them to check on their welfare ● Send an email ● Leave a note under their door ● Don’t underestimate the power you have to offer hope to another person. ● We encourage people to get creative with how they interact, here are some ways to stay connected if self-isolating: ● Set up a gratitude tree – where every member posts a message or sends a text to other members to share something they are grateful for. ● Find a buddy, or group of, to set daily challenges with. These could include a healthy habit, a mindful practice, a creative pursuit. Be sure to encourage and check in daily to stay motivated. ● Set dates and times to watch the same TV shows/movies with someone and message each other your thoughts along the way… kind of like Goggle Box but you're not sharing the couch! ● If your local community has one, join its social media group! This will keep you up to date with what’s going on directly around you. It may also include ways you can perhaps reach out and connect with someone less fortunate than you and ways to assist them.

83 Cove Boulevard NORTH ARM COVE PRICE: $449,000 LIVE in the peace and quiet of a bush setting yet be across the road from the waterfront with all the modern comforts you have grown to expect. In the heart of North Arm Cove is this beautiful, architect designed home. Built to blend into the environment, it is a split-level home, with open plan living opening to a screened deck for indoor/outdoor living. There are beautiful Tasmanian Oak floors
throughout and a combustion fire for winter warmth. The two bedrooms are massive, the main with mirrored built-ins and loads of storage. A timber walkway from the front door leads to self-contained guest accommodation, separated from the house by another screened entertaining area. There is also a large carport, a detached workshop and natural backyard. With a current long-term tenant in place and many other features, this home would suit the investor, executive (an easy commute to Newcastle), retirees, or those just wanting a stylish weekender to escape to. It's only two hours via the M1 from Sydney. For further information contact John Rumble at Hawks Nest First National Real Estate on (02) 49970262.

Can’t wait to play By Julie MCKIMM THE effects of COVID-19 are being felt in all areas of our community, including our community sporting clubs. We have seen the postponement of most winter sports, including Soccer, Netball, Australian Rules Football, Rugby Union, Rugby League and countless others. Whilst the long-term effects are yet to be felt, short-term effects are already spreading not only to administrators but to our children. Many local children live and breathe their winter sports, playing both days on the weekends and training up to four times per week, watching anything sport related in between. Ryley Jewell told News Of The Area, “I’m missing being at footy and kicking a footy
with my mates.” “I just wish this stupid corona virus would go away so we can start playing soon,” he said. Parents and children are understanding the importance of social distancing so are looking for options at home to keep active, away from devices and sane during this uncertain time we are experiencing. Some in the area are lucky enough to have large backyards with football goals and obstacle courses, those with smaller yards are looking toward more fine motor skills requiring less space and going on regular walks and jogs to keep their fitness up. With the future of this season unknown, every bit of home training counts for something.
