WOMEN
do more than just give birth.
They bring joy and hope.
They give compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family
and friends.
All they want back is a hug, a smile and for you to do the same
to people you come in contact with.
Women have a lot to say and a lot to give.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the
figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because
that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty
in a woman is reflected in her passion that she shows.
The beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

DOGS WANDERING THE DISTRICT
Dog owners have an obligation to ensure their dogs are kept on their property and do not escape and
wander. From time to time reports of dogs wandering on the Fosterville Gold Mine are made by staff,
and despite efforts to locate owners- they are rarely identified. .Farmers in our district are also con-
cerned with wandering dogs and last year a number of sheep were mauled and killed by dogs.
Please ensure your dogs are restrained or do not leave your property. Fosterville Gold Mine and Parks
Victoria lay baits in the area for foxes and these of course are poisonous to dogs.
If you are aware of dogs wandering in the district please report to City of Greater Bendigo so the dogs
can be removed. The most recent sightings have been of a Kelpie, Border Collie and Jack Russell of-
ten wandering together.
WITH SYMPATHY

GENERAL INFORMATION
There are 7 billion people to feed on the planet today and another 2 billion are expected to join by 2050.
Statistics say that each of us drinks from 2 to 4 litres of water every day, however most of the water we
‘drink’ is embedded in the food we eat: producing 1 kilo of beef for example consumes 15,000 litres of
water while 1 kilo of wheat ’drinks up’ 1,500 litres
International World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on
the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater re-
sources.
An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference
on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by des-
ignating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.

11. Keeping or lifting the lid on scientific research
Publishing the results of their studies in a recognised scientific journal
is a major aim of all researchers. In fact, publication is frequently a re-
quirement before any of the work is acknowledged. And often further
studies are necessary to validate or confirm the original work.
To a large extent the success of scientific development depends on what other scientists have already achieved
and how they’ve gone about it. So publication is vital.
It was surprising therefore to see a request in December last year made to two of the world’s leading scientific
journals, Nature and Science, that they not publish some research being undertaken on the influenza virus.
As the February 3 issue of the Economist magazine put it, the researchers from The Netherlands and the United
States had been “tinkering” with H5N1 influenza, better known as bird flu, to produce a strain of the virus that
could be transmitted from human to human. (Up until now, no human to human transmission has been identified.)
Fears were expressed by the National Scientific Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) in the US that if details
were to become known by terrorists the consequences could be catastrophic.
The bird flu virus is indeed dangerous. Around 60% of the nearly 600 cases reported have proved fatal.
So far, the current research has been confined to ferrets. But when it comes to flu, it seems ferrets and humans are
similar. And supporters of the research say studies like this could well lead to the development of effective vac-
cines and drug treatments. In any event, further research in this area has been voluntarily deferred for two months.
Another aspect of medical research is how we interpret the results for our own circumstances. Different studies
sometimes provide apparently different conclusions. The use of aspirin is s good example. Aspirin was first mar-
keted more than 100 years ago as an effective pain reliever. Since then it has been largely superseded by other
medicines for this purpose, but has been widely promoted in low dose to prevent heart and blood vessel disease.
Now, most recent research has shown that whilst this benefit of aspirin still applies to people who have already
suffered a heart attack or stroke, the benefit for other people is outweighed by the risk of gastric bleeding. Mean-
while in the January 2012 issue of the journal Ophthalmology it has been suggested that frequent use of aspirin
may be linked with age related macular degeneration. And we also know that aspirin is not recommended for the
prevention of blood clots associated with long distance travel.
Clearly, before self medicating with any medicine, even something as simple as low dose aspirin, we should seek
our pharmacist’s or doctor’s advice.
Perhaps a more basic and down to earth example of the relevance of research to our everyday life is illustrated in
a study published online December 2 last year in the International Journal of Hospital Infection. Investigators
from the Leeds General Infirmary in the UK examined the bacterial contamination of the air following the flush-
ing of lidded and lidless toilets. Specifically the study looked at the spread of an organism called Clostridium dif-
ficile which is sometimes found in stool specimens.
So-called toxin producing strains of C. difficile can multiply after treatments with antibiotics and cause antibiotic
-induced diarrhoea. Aggressive forms of this organism have emerged worldwide and have caused outbreaks on
both hospitals and the community with significant mortality especially in the elderly.
The researchers from Leeds found that the number of airborne bacteria was 12 times higher from open toilets
compared with the same toilet when the lid was closed when flushing. So this research, at least, has confirmed we
should keep a lid on it.
Self Care pharmacies provide a range of information that is based on the evidence coming out of all of this re-
search. This information is for consumers on topics such as Cold and Flu, Travel Health and Vomiting and Diar-
rhoea. For all your questions related to health issues, please
speak to the friendly staff at White Hills Pharmacy for a ‘second
opinion’
Yours in good health

13. Goornong ~ Happenings in History
from The Bendigo Advertiser
Saturday September 11th 1926
The novelty Ball to be held at the Memorial Hall on Wednesday next proposes to provide a most attractive
evening. It should prove the best social event for the Goornong queen, Miss L. Comer.
There will be the following contests: --- Waltz, one step, fox trot, and old time dance competition.
Increases in railway taxation. Re freights and fares are resented by the farmers of the district. Om top of the
railway increases there is felt to be another injustices in the imposition of a tax on telephone users. The local
branch of the P.P.U. is to carry the protest further.
Shearing is in full swing, and the fleeces are about the quality and quantity of last year.
Saturday May 20th 1944
A large crowd attended a farewell social and dance to Mr. and Mrs. R.H. Paynter and family. Coming from
Mologa State school Mr. Paynter quickly took up many public responsibilities, and was secretary of various
committees. The quiet and efficient manner in which he handled his duties earned for him many praises. His
school work received his best attention. Cr. John Clay presented the guests with a wallet of notes. His remarks
were endorsed by Rev. M.F.Green, Cr. H.W. Oberin, Cr. C.K. Hyett, Rev. Father Lehane, Cr. James Mul-
cair,Rev. Mr. Williams, Messrs. A. Ringe, A.L. Bennett, O. Mulcair, W. Gurry, H. Stagg. Mr. Paynter’s transfer to
Eaglehawk will mean promotion
The final figures for Goornong district in the recent Victory Loan is 6290pounds, [$12580.00 approx.]with 58
subscribers. The quota set was 5000pounds, [$10000.00 approx.] with 30 subscribers.
Monday November 27th 1944
At a meeting of water users, called by Huntly council, it was decided to restrict the pumping to every alternate
day. This was decided as the town supply is rapidly going down, and unless it rains in the catchment area the
commission states it is unlikely to send down further supplies.
Saturday September 27th 1947
The first monthly meeting of the recently-formed senior section of the Young Farmers’ club was held. Two de-
bate teams were formed to contest a debate at the next meeting, leaders being Mr. R. Greave and M.P. Comer.
Subject will be “City Life v. Country Life.” At the conclusion of the meeting competitions were conducted and
musical items were provided by Mr. leo Comer and Mr. Basil Rehe.
At the annual meeting of the tennis club, the following were elected ---President Mr. R. Ringe, vice-presidents
Messrs P. comer and F. Carr; secretary Mr. R. S. Tuder, treasurer Mr. F. Honeychurch; Committee; Misses
Gee, Mulcair, J and L. McKinstry. It was decided to again seek admission to Elmore Association. It is intended
to re-surface the club’s three fine courts this season. Arrangements were made for the annual opening day in
the form of a haphazard tournament.

Turnout Report
Since the last issue of the Guide, the crew have turned out to two fires, one vegetation fire at English’s Road and
one tunnel fire at Fosterville Mine.
Defibrillator
Recently the brigade purchased a HeartStart Defibrillator which is a portable electronic device that recognises
lethal cardiac rhythm and advises to shock the patient or provide CPR to re-establish an effective heart rhythm.
The unit will be kept in the fire station but is available to be used within the community area. Crew will take the
unit if they are attending vehicle accidents. According to the CFA Policy, defibs should be operated by, in order
of preference:
• a member trained in the use of an defib as part of a formal medical, para-
medical, nursing or first aid qualification; or
• a member that has completed the appropriate defib operator awareness
package; or where no appropriately trained members are
immediately available;
• an untrained member.
Members of the community, who are not CFA members should also follow
this order of preference.
Once the brigade familiarises itself with the defib, more information will follow
(eg –how to access the defib, community info sessions etc).
This device will be vital in giving community members suffering from cardiac arrest a /better chance of survival.
FireReady Quiz
Hopefully everyone living in fire risk area (in or surrounded by forest or by grassy paddocks) had prepared their
FireReady Plan at the start of the fire season. Try this quiz to get you on the road to being fire ready. Every
question is backed up with extra information and is a great learning tool.

22. CRAFT CORNER
Kindly contributed by Glenyce McCrohan
Ribbon Notice Board
Don’t you just hate when you need to hang something up and there is not anywhere to put it? Our fridge houses
most of this stuff. The kids like to hang up their artworks there too though and so we need a bigger fridge. Here is
a solution I came up with for our kids to use in their bedroom. They loved it so much I made another for a gift.
Best of all, no stray drawing pins to find by stepping on them!
You will need: a canvas (size to suit your need), paint, ribbon, pencil, measur-
ing tape and a glue gun with glue sticks (a wonder tool in crafting – watch
your finger prints!).
First, paint your canvas. I used some paint from a sample pot we had been us-
ing but craft paint does the trick too. I recommend two coats maybe three. It
needs a good covering. Once this is dry, measure up your canvas and work out
the spacing for the ribbon. The canvas I have made here is 45x60 cm so I spaced and marked places for the rib-
bons 5 cm apart. You could space them further apart, if you wish. Before you start cutting the ribbon you need to
make sure you have enough. This board used 20 metres of ribbon.
Glue on the ribbons on the diagonal one way, then flip your canvas and glue the ribbons on the opposite way. To
make a really effective way of holding things onto your canvas, weave the ribbons on this side through. This will
give you a nice net to hold your papers. Finish off by gluing all the ends onto the back which leaves the edges tidy.
I found some mini pegs at a variety shop with lady birds on them to add to the canvas. These are great for things
that don’t want to weave into the ribbons. Hope this helps with some organising of some papers and art works.

26. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR BENDIGO EASTER FESTIVAL
With Easter fast approaching the call has gone out for volunteers to help with this
year’s Bendigo Easter Festival which takes place over three days from April 6 to 8.
Chair of the Bendigo Easter Festival Cr Rod Fyffe said the Bendigo Easter Festival relies
heavily on volunteers and with only 7 weeks till Easter the festival is asking for more
volunteers to come forward.
“We are urgently looking for people to undertake a range of volunteer roles. These
varied roles include stage hands, assisting the vendor coordinator and site managers,
parking assistants, providing information to the public and assisting with planned enter-
tainment activities, just to name a few.
“These types of volunteer roles are particularly beneficial to students or people look-
ing to enter the hospitality or tourism industries as it provides great experience in the-
se fields but they are also great for people who would just love to be involved in this
annual iconic local event.
“We encourage anyone who can spare some time over Easter to come forward and
we will do our best to match all volunteers to a role that suits their particular skills. As
well as assisting in the running of the festival they get to have a great time.
“Everyone who volunteers will receive a certificate that acknowledges their service to
the community as an Easter Festival volunteer.
“We really need some help this year and we would be very grateful for any hours that
members of the community can spare,” said Cr Fyffe.
Volunteers must be aged 16 or over and available to work at various times on Good
Friday, Easter Saturday and Sunday.
Role descriptions and volunteer registration forms are available on the Easter
Festival website www.bendigoeasterfestival.org.au or contact Andie Downing

(GCG) Update Report March 2012
The Goornong and District community group had a Special Meeting on the 14 th February, primarily to discuss the
City of Greater Bendigo Small Town Grants. Prior to the meeting local community groups were consulted with
and asked to submit their priorities. The feedback was encouraging with a local wish list being built. The meeting
was well attended and resulted in the GCG committee endorsing the Goornong Recreation Reserve and Goornong
Swimming Pool’s applications.
Below are this month’s current developments on the GCG’s Current plan:

About Goornong & District Community Group Inc.
The Goornong & District Community Group Inc, (GDCG) began in 2007 through the Bendigo +25 community
planning initiative. The planning process involved the importance of a vision/plan for Goornong supported by the
community wants and needs for the future.
The original plan launched in April, 2008, set out the vision of the local community for the future and detailed the
projects that the community aspired to undertake. More recently, the committee has reviewed the progress and re-
assessed the initial Community plan using the goals, objectives and actions in the original plan to ascertain what
has already been achieved and to look forward to new and current priorities. This relaunched plan will now be
used as the basis for seeking funding from council and other funding sources. Due to the relaunch of the communi-
ty plan, the GDCG committee want to be accountable and keep the community informed to what actions are being
done.
We will keep the community updated each month on the current developments of each focus area. With the re-
launch have come new and fresh faces with great community spirit and exciting ideas. To gain a copy of the new
plan or to contribute to the focus areas of the plan or to apply for funding for your community group, contact the
committee at goornonganddistrict@gmail.com .
The committee meet regularly at the Goornong recreation reserve. The next meeting is on Monday, 5th March
7:30pm. Everyone is welcome. If are unable to attend or would like to add an item to the agenda please contact
