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!GOORNONG GUIDE ~ February 2012 6

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 dogscan be removed. The most recent
sightings have been of a Kelpie, Border Collie and Jack Russell of-
ten wandering together. WITH SYMPATHY John T. ODwyer Our deepest
sympathy to Melva, Margaret Mary, Dianne, David, Patrice, Paul,
Benny, Geoff., and Jo- anne, on the passing of their loved Husband,
Father and Grandfather to their children. Johnny farmed land on the
Campaspe River with his brother, and played Cricket for Goornong,
was involved with the Mount Pleasant Football Club and played golf
at Toolleen and Axedale. From the committee of the Goornong Guide.

INFORMATIONThere 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 litresInternational
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 Conferenceon Environment and Development (UNCED). The
United Nations General Assembly responded by des- ignating 22 March
1993 as the first World Water Day.GOORNONG GUIDE ~ February 2012

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 achievedand how
theyve gone about it. So publication is vital.It was surprising
therefore to see a request in December last year made to two of the
worlds leading scientificjournals, 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 UnitedStates had been
tinkering with H5N1 influenza, better known as bird flu, to produce
a strain of the virus thatcould 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
detailswere 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 aresimilar. 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 studiessometimes
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 othermedicines 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 alreadysuffered 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
aspirinmay be linked with age related macular degeneration. And we
also know that aspirin is not recommended for theprevention 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 seekour pharmacists or doctors
advice.Perhaps a more basic and down to earth example of the
relevance of research to our everyday life is illustrated ina study
published online December 2 last year in the International Journal
of Hospital Infection. Investigatorsfrom 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 onboth 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 toiletscompared with the same toilet when the lid
was closed when flushing. So this research, at least, has confirmed
weshould 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, pleasespeak to the friendly

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. Paynters
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 clubs three fine courts this season.
Arrangements were made for the annual opening day in the form of a
haphazard tournament. 357 359 Hargreaves St Bendigo 03 5441

DonationsThe brigade would like to express its sincere thanks to
the community members who recently donated money tothe brigade. We
would also like to acknowledge the Goornong Post Office for
supporting the brigade with themail out. A notice was sent to
residents in November 2011 requesting donations. It has been our
practice everytwo years to seek donations from district residents
and landholders. These funds will assist the brigade inmaintenance
and repairs of existing equipment and in purchasing new items,
which will enhance the brigadescapability.If you did not receive a
notice (our mailing list does not have new residents) and you would
like to donate, pleasemail donations to the Secretary/Treasurer,
Felicity Nicholls, at the address below or left at the Goornong
Post Of-fice or Bob Halls General Store. Receipts will be issued
(please ensure that your name and address is attachedto your
donation) as donations are tax deductible. Support for your Rural
Volunteer Fire Brigade is vital. Turnout ReportSince the last issue
of the Guide, the crew have turned out to two fires, one vegetation
fire at Englishs Road andone tunnel fire at Fosterville Mine.
DefibrillatorRecently the brigade purchased a HeartStart
Defibrillator which is a portable electronic device that
recogniseslethal 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 theunit if they are attending
vehicle accidents. According to the CFA Policy, defibs should be
operated by, in orderof 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 awarenesspackage; or where no
appropriately trained members areimmediately available; an
untrained member.Members of the community, who are not CFA members
should also followthis 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 QuizHopefully
everyone living in fire risk area (in or surrounded by forest or by
grassy paddocks) had prepared theirFireReady Plan at the start of
the fire season. Try this quiz to get you on the road to being fire

CRAFT CORNER Kindly contributed by Glenyce McCrohan Ribbon
Notice BoardDont you just hate when you need to hang something up
and there is not anywhere to put it? Our fridge housesmost of this
stuff. The kids like to hang up their artworks there too though and
so we need a bigger fridge. Here isa 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 watchyour 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. Itneeds a good covering. Once this is dry, measure up
your canvas and work outthe 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 tomake 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. Tomake a really effective way of
holding things onto your canvas, weave the ribbons on this side
through. This willgive 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 thingsthat dont want
to weave into the ribbons. Hope this helps with some organising of
some papers and art works. ANSWERS: Page 26GOORNONG GUIDE ~

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

Goornong & District Community Group Inc, (GDCG) began in 2007
through the Bendigo +25 communityplanning initiative. The planning
process involved the importance of a vision/plan for Goornong
supported by thecommunity 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 theprojects 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 whathas already been achieved and to look forward to new
and current priorities. This relaunched plan will now beused 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 beingdone.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 newplan or to contribute to the focus
areas of the plan or to apply for funding for your community group,

committee meet regularly at the Goornong recreation reserve. The
next meeting is on Monday, 5th March7:30pm. Everyone is welcome. If
