Walking wounded team reaches Clermont A team of contemporary veterans and families of fallen soldiers are traversing the country from North to South, raising funds and awareness to support the psychological rehabilitation of wounded Australian soldiers. Walking 65km a day for 65 days, before kayaking Bass Strait – this is the first ever attempt at traversing the Australian continent under full human power. On Monday June 29, the Walking Wounded team hit Clermont; welcomed by local community members at the Clermont RSL. Charity Founder, Brian Freeman, and the entourage team spoke of the support to date, and the reason the charity exists – commenting on the tragically high suicide rate, and support needed for our contemporary veterans.
The team asked that anyone who knows local veterans in their community, to reach out to them and ask if they’re okay. Walking Wounded offers support services including re-training, re-education and job placement opportunities, as well as counselling services, personal and professional development; and suicide prevention and intervention. The Walking Wounded team expect to reach South East Cape, Tasmania in late August, after travelling through 89 towns and cities. You can follow, support and donate at www.trackthetribute.org.au

Plant Smart in Isaac ‘Think Smart, Plant Smart, because trees and powerlines don’t mix’ is one of the key messages in Isaac Regional Council’s new Plant Smart brochure. Isaac Regional Council has worked in partnership with Greening Australia and Ergon Energy to identify a list of native plants that are suitable and safe to plant near and under power lines for Isaac residents.
Plant Smart is an Ergon Energy vegetation management program developed by Ergon Energy and Greening Australia to educate the community on planting appropriate trees and plants under and around power lines.
Mayor Anne Baker said Council was proud to launch a new brochure for ratepayers and residents. “It’s important to be aware of services above and below the ground before you plant trees,” she said. “Keeping trees away from power lines is important for safety and to prevent power outages.” “This brochure is a go-to to find the right information to have safe vegetation growth in your yard, whether you live on the coast, or in the central regions,” said Mayor Baker.
Plant Smart - Recommended plant heights near powerlines.
The Plant Smart brochure contains helpful ‘think smart, plant smart’ information including a list of 29 native plants that will grow under 4 metres in height, tips on how and why it is important to Plant Smart near powerlines and how to plant a tree so that it thrives. “It’s important residents and rate payers to check whether existing plants pose any risks or threats to power lines,” said Ms Chantelle James, Plant Smart Educational Coordinator for Central Region. “If vegetation or plants are encroaching power lines, please call Ergon on 13 10 46 from 7am to 6:30pm, Monday to Friday” said Ms James. The brochure is available on-line for residents to view at www.isaac.qld.gov.au/think-smart-plant-smart and www. ergon.com.au/network/safety/home-safety/trees-andpowerlines/plant-smart-council-brochures .

Health Matters contributed by Jackie Martin 5 things that work for a cold There is no shortage of cold and flu remedies; but what does scientific research tell us about what works best? If you want to avoid a cold or to treat one once it strikes, here are some tips based on a review of current findings in well based research.
Nasal sprays
Zinc tablets
Over-the-counter cough medicines
Ever wished there was a simple pill you could take to ward off a cold? Well you’ll be pleased to know there is one type of pill that has at least some evidence behind it: a zinc supplement. Taking zinc is one of the best ways to reduce the likelihood of contracting a cold. The mineral may also have some anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Naturally, consult your doctor if before committing to zinc long term as this may be harmful.
Cough medicines containing antihistamines have been found to be moderately effective in the overall treatment of colds in adults and older children, but only when combined with decongestants (drugs that relieve a blocked nose) or pain relief drugs. But you may get a dry mouth or insomnia as a side effect.
Hand hygiene Low-tech, but probably more effective than zinc supplements, good hand hygiene is the best bet for preventing a cold. This includes the use of wipes, alcoholbased disinfectants and regular hand washing.
The review found top cures for an incessant runny nose were nasal sprays and nasal decongestants containing ipratropium bromide.
A cough syrup containing codeine may help you get a more peaceful night’s sleep, as the drug has a mildly sedative effect, she says. However, the idea that cough suppressants are harmful because they leave mucus in the body is nothing but “folklore”. Other natural suggestions Honey
A thorough wash, lasting 40 to 60 seconds (including the drying), with lots of rubbing together of the hands is recommended. Children can be encouraged to sing the entire “Happy Birthday” song twice to make sure they wash their hands for long enough.
To relieve a cough in anyone over the age of one, honey is worth trying. Both the World Health Organisation and the American Academy of Paediatrics recommend it.
You’ll also lessen your chances of catching the flu if you keep your hands away from your face. That’s because any virus picked up from a contaminated surface (say, where someone’s sneezed) will find it easier to gain entry to your body if you deposit it on the moist skin lining your mouth, nose and eyes.
Allium sativum has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years in India, Egypt and China. Garlic is popularly used for coughs, colds, flu and infections, as well as other conditions including lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.
Pain-relieving medications Once a cold takes hand though, products containing paracetamol have been found to decrease the severity of headaches, fever, sinus pain and muscle aches. Paracetamol is far and away the safest option” for both children and adults – as long as you do not exceed the recommended daily dose as this can cause liver damage.
Garlic
Garlic can be taken as bulbs eaten raw or cooked. Higher doses can be obtained from over-the-counter supplements made from dried garlic or garlic oil. Garlic can also be applied on the skin in a cream for infections.
And remember… Protect, Prevent, Live Well

More than physical activity That’s the end of the 2015 challenge! Find below some tips and tricks to keep you motivated and active throughout the rest of the year. Getting Motivated • Set yourself some goals (short-term and long-term), then practice visualization to help yourself reach your goals. Athletes use this technique to help them perform better, and it works. If you want to lose weight, picture yourself at your goal weight. If you want to run faster, picture yourself running faster, or even winning a race. The mind is powerful when used in the right way. Staying Motivated • Expect to notice favourable changes in about four to eight weeks. •
If you slip off the program, forgive yourself and begin again. Don’t give up and avoid the all or none pitfall.
•
Reward yourself. Each month, particularly for the first 6 months, reward yourself for sticking with your activity program goals.
•
If you miss more then a week, resume your physical activity program at one-half to two-thirds of your normal level and build back up gradually.
Extra Tips • Many things in life are out of your control - physical activity isn’t one of those. Physical activity is something you control and do solely for yourself. Select activities you enjoy most - bike, hike, walk, run - anything you find interesting and entertaining. Do it with a friends, family or your man’s best friend. •
Whatever you choose, be consistent so you develop the habit.
•
Don’t deprive yourself of the foods you enjoy but eat them in moderation and savour every bite.
•
Each day focus on how good you feel about yourself and the steps you’re taking to be more active.
•
Remember progress can be measured in many ways mood, sleep, self-esteem, weight loss, or energy.
Remember - The longer you stick with a physical activity and practical healthy lifestyle program, the more benefits you’ll feel.

QRRRWN excited to be showcasing community resilience on youtube Queensland Rural, Regional & Remote Women’s Network ~ Connect ~ Network ~ Inspire ~ www.qrrrwn.org.au QRRRWN - a unique network - Queensland Rural Regional & Remote Women’s Network (QRRRWN) is building strong supportive communities of women of all ages. We network through our members – we connect with, support and inspire each other. QRRRWN is for all women interested in rural, regional and remote Queensland - whether they live there or not. QRRRWN provides a safe, engaging place for members to share experiences and knowledge - we know this helps women achieve their personal and professional goals. In the environment of drought in regional Queensland, QRRRWN have created a project aimed to foster the current strengths within rural communities across all generation to build resilience and cohesion for the sustainable future of its towns. Recognising that creative thinking, collaboration between the generations within a community and the ability to share ideas with others is the key to ensuring the future of our state, this project is a step in the right direction. Alison Mobbs, President of QRRRWN said, “This project is innovative in bringing cross- generational groups together contributed by Jackie Martin to create videos exploring various aspects of the impact of drought. The videos will showcase the strength in community in these tough times. We have been fortunate enough to secure funding to involve groups from twelve locations right across the drought area.” “What’s really exciting is that the groups will have the opportunity to connect and learn from each other through sharing ideas and experiences of resilience, interdependence, networking and building relationships.” Said the QRRRWN President. The groups really have free reign to present their views about how the community, environment, economy, social groups, clubs, schools etc have been impacted. The works can be funny or serious. The objective is to get involved, young and old, collaborate, share ideas and learn from each other in the process.” “There is a huge power in reflecting on and sharing our experiences and sharing stories about both the good times and the bad. Too often we forget that our story and our experience can benefit others,” said Ms Mobbs. Project Facilitator Melinda Wells said she is excited to see what the teams will come up with. “We haven’t even formally launched the project and already we have several groups interested. It is great to be a part of the team bringing this idea to life.” Melinda Wells said, “Young people are constantly messing around filming stuff on their phones: we want them to channel that creativity into something for their community.
Using youtube our experiences can be shared in our own communities, right around the country and even internationally. How exciting is that?” Ms Wells, from Dalby, says, “We want groups of up to five including school students from grades 8-12 to join together with adults, teachers and other community members to show us how their community has responded to the tough times. I will travel to the nominated towns for advice and support.” QRRRWN will also run a social media campaign and be available for phone assistance to groups. Project locations include Hughenden, Charters Towers, Barcaldine, Longreach, Clermont, Emerald, Biloela, Gayndah, Kingaroy, Dalby, Goondiwindi and Warwick. Up to 3 teams can enter from each location. The best 5 entries will be invited to present their work at QRRRWN annual conference, Women Inspiring Women, scheduled for September 3-5 in Biloela. Videos will be uploaded to the QRRRWN youtube channel. Judging will be through on-line voting and a special panel including a media professional, two representatives from the entrants, a teacher and a community member. Winners are announced at the conference. QRRRWN President Alison Mobbs said, “The generous support from the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal enables QRRRWN to offer Conference attendance as part of the capacity building and leadership development that is an important part of the project. We are excited to see the creativity of our young people working with others in their communities.” Interested participants should contact Project Coordinator Melinda Wells on 0408 079660 as soon as possible.

On the Shelf Kindy kids visit Clermont Library A visit to the Clermont Library last Tuesday was the highlight of the day for a group of children from the Clermont C & K Kindergarten.
