NEW VIC PHARMACIST PILOT GETS GREEN LIGHT Victorians will soon have access to quicker and more convenient treatment op ons, with cri cal legisla on passed to expand the role of community pharmacists – paving the way for pharmacists to become authorised prescribers as part of a statewide pilot.

The pilot will give Victorians more op ons to access treatment and advice for common condi ons and basic healthcare needs from October.

Health Minster Mary-Anne Thomas said “Timely care is so important, even for basic health condi ons, and this trial will explore the effec veness of expanding the range of care pharmacists can offer to help Victorians access the care they need, when they need it.”

Amendments to the Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances Act 1981 have now passed both Houses, meaning that pharmacists will soon be able to treat

minor skin condi ons, reissue oral contracep ves, and supply medica on for uncomplicated urinary tract infec ons (UTIs).

The pilot will also allow par cipa ng pharmacists to provide a range of travel and other public health vaccines.

Community pharmacists can par cipate in the pilot through an opt-in EOI process and will have to meet certain condi ons before they can start providing services, including mandatory training and an assessment of the facili es available at the pharmacy.

The 12-month pilot will be evaluated with recommenda ons provided to government to help inform longer-term decision making around the prescribing role of community pharmacists.

Veterans Card - Victoria launched to ease cost of living

Australian Red Cross Urgently Need Volunteers

The Victorian State Government is suppor ng veterans now and into the future with the launch of the Veterans Card - an Australian-first ini a ve.

Following an investment of more than $36 million over four years in the digital card, this new ini a ve has already been taken up by more than 6,000 veterans.

The Veterans Card provides eligible veterans with discounted registra on for one light vehicle, free trailer and caravan registra on, a marine (boa ng) licence, free public transport on Anzac Day and Remembrance Day, a fishing licence exemp on, and access to the Victorian Government veteran-specific employment programs.

Anyone living in Victoria who has served or is currently serving in the Australian Defence Force is eligible for the Veterans Card – Victoria.

All eligible members of the veteran community can apply through either the Service Victoria website or the Service Victoria app on their smartphone.

As disasters increase across Australia, so does the demand on Australian Red Cross emergency services.

There are more than 500 Australian Red Cross emergency services volunteers across Victoria who are vital in providing cri cal support to communi es when disaster strikes, but more are needed. With Victorians’ experiencing several large-scale disasters over the last five years, Australian Red Cross is calling for more Victorians to put their hand up to help.

Australian Red Cross State Manager Emergency Services Victoria, Fyowna Norton said becoming a volunteer is a wonderful way to make a posi ve impact on the lives of others, that also opens doors for personal growth and exci ng opportuni es.

Australian Red Cross volunteers gain access to interna onally and na onally developed training to undertake their roles, including psychological first aid, community engagement and development, preparedness, and recovery.

For more informa on contact: vicsesworkforce@redcross.org.au or see roles at www.redcross.org.au/volunteer

Sunday, August 20, 2023 Miss Brigid & Her Mixed Nuts LIVE at the Dunolly Golf Club

This popular light-hearted farce is a fun, wi y, hilarious ride for audiences with English peers, pirates, police, lovers Frederic and Mabel – “what’s not to like”! Wri en in 1879, when the piece was to open on New Year’s Eve in New York, Mr Gilbert said “The treatment of the new opera will be similar to that of Pinafore, namely to treat a thoroughly farcical subject in a thoroughly serious manner”.

Our Dunolly Community Garden was privileged to host a Gra ing Workshop by Permaculture Designer and Teacher, Carolyn Gemmel from Mudlark Permaculture (pictured above) during an a ernoon in July.

Apart from wan ng more fruit trees, Carolyn explained that gra ing especially from heritage trees can help with “losing biodiversity in our Root stock.”

Many groups such as the Rare and Heritage Fruit Tree Network (a Facebook group) are helping to build a living library of heritage trees as well as share their knowledge.

Through clear and simple-tofollow instruc ons, Carolyn demonstrated the key Principles and Good Techniques of Gra ing with a strong emphasis on safety

to ensure that every gra survives and thrives. It is best to use dwarfing root stock to maximise space with pear rootstocks having a 90% success rate and Apples 5070%. You should always clean and sani ze your gra ing knives.

Ideally, the rootstock and scion material (young shoot or twig of a plant, especially one cut for gra ing or roo ng) are of the same thickness as this maximises the chance of cambial contact all the way around.

This cambium layer, the layer between the wood and bark, is where ac ve growth occurs.

Joining the cambium layers of the root and scion is crucial to the success of the gra .

In Whip and Tongue gra ing, this is done when corresponding cuts through rootstock and scion material are joined end to end and then bound. The interlocking ‘tongues’ add structural support to the join as well giving a larger surface area of cambial contact.

In her prac cal, one-on-one demonstra on of the ‘Whip and Tongue’ gra , Carolyn gave some handy and safe hints such as “Push the s ck, not the knife” when cu ng, or “gently shi the knife into place”. This gra is best done in late winter or early spring

when the scion wood is dormant, with no signs of growth. Store dormant scions in air ght container or bag in the fridge to be gra ed later onto ac vely growing rootstocks.

Recently I a ended the opening of the new Carisbrook Recrea on Reserve.

The new facili es are stunning, and it was a terrific event. Much kudos to everyone involved in making this dream a reality.

It was also very bi ersweet for me, as I know what is situated at Deledio Recrea on Reserve and what locals and visitor teams must endure during home games.

At our Council Mee ng last month , one item on the agenda was for an Expression of Interest (EOI) for a federal grant opportunity.

The report tabled had listed Deledio Recrea on Reserve as one of the four priority projects that were considered for Round One funding.

OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL TRADESPEOPLE Here at Council, we maintain hundreds of assets.

These include towns halls, buildings, kindergartens, senior ci zens, spor ng facili es, playgrounds just to name a few.

We can’t maintain them on our own, which is why we call on tradespeople for minor projects and maintenance work throughout the year.

We’re currently crea ng a Trade Services Panel – a list of tradespeople that we can call on to support us with this work.

To keep our money local, we’re keen to see as many local trades on this list as possible – services we are looking for include rubbish bin cleaning, appliance repairs, window furnishings, carpentry, handyman, shade, builders, pest control, welding, ling, paving, flooring, cabinet makers, pain ng, plastering, glazing, bricklaying, fencing, asbestos removal, test and tagging, removalists and locksmiths.

We encourage you to register with us. To find out more visit www.centralgoldfields.vic.gov.au/tenders or contact Council’s Procurement team on 5461 0610.

Recently, community members met with Member for Ripon Martha Hayle MP, at Deledio to discuss funding opportuni es. Ms Hayle stressed that this Federal funding stream would be the best bet for Deledio and urged the Shire to put in an EOI. Unfortunately, Deledio didn’t make the cut, with Maryborough’s Olympic Outdoor Pool deemed to be more compe ve as an EOI and the officers’ recommenda on reflected this.

I spoke and voted against the mo on, but to no avail, as the mo on was carried.

So, what’s next? Well, I certainly won’t be si ng on my haunches that’s for sure. With the cancella on of the Commonwealth Games a few weeks ago, it appears that some funding will be diverted to State sport.

No details have been released yet, but I can assure you that I will be keeping a close eye on this.

Also, Federal funding like this comes up every year so I intend to ac vely work with Council officers to hopefully get Deledio over the line next year.

The will and sense of community is stronger than ever in Dunolly, with some of the hardest working volunteers I have ever come across in my life, two were in the gallery that night.

This is not the end of the road for Deledio, far from it.

Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) and CFA respond to more than 3,000 residen al fire incidents across the state each year, many of which are preventable.

House fires move fast and can fill your home with smoke in a ma er of minutes. They can be devasta ng and fatal.

CFA Chief Fire Officer Jason Heffernan said “Winter is a good me for Victorian residents to re-educate themselves on their Home Fire Escape Plan.”

While the dangers of fire are very real, there is a lot you can do to protect your family and your home.

When making your Home Fire Escape Plan, remember: ¨ Know what to do if a fire occurs. Whether you are a homeowner or renter, you should have a home fire escape plan in place. ¨ Prac ce your plan for when there is an emergency with your whole household. ¨ You can’t escape if you have deadlocked your doors.

Tips for when there is a fire: ¨ Get out and stay out or get down low and stay out of the smoke. ¨ If it is safe, close doors to slow down the spread of fire and smoke. ¨ Alert other people on your way out. ¨ Meet at a safe place, such as the le erbox out the front of your home. ¨ Call triple zero from a mobile phone or a neighbour’s phone

I

was supposed to go to Marong very early last Monday for an appointment, so I decided to check the tyres on Sunday as they had not been done for a while.

Set up the li le compressor -- but nothing happened.

The ba ery was as flat as a pancake, dead as a dodo, flat as a flounder, dead as a doornail.

In other words, a call to Marong was needed early Monday to cancel the appointment, then a bit later one to the RACV for help.

The nice man got it started, and I had an unscheduled trip to Maryborough to charge up the ba ery. I was going in later in the week, so no big deal there.

The next worry was whether the car would start again a er my shopping was done – It Did! I was reading a very up-to-date magazine at the doctor's (2021). Big headline - Charles will never be king. Wrong!

It was one of those publica ons that make up sensa onal stories and hope they come true.

This very rarely happens.

I have five canisters on my "drinks "shelf, all neatly labelled.

The one that says coffee beans contains instant coffee;

the one labelled drinking chocolate holds Milo; the one that says coffee has my caffeine - free drink powder in it and the one that has the tea label has tea (bags) in it.

The other one has a tea subs tute that I bought on a whim and only tried once.

I think it is honey and myrtle seed.

Dear Members, Supporters, Friends and Family; What a wonderful day was had by all at the 18-hole Championships played throughout the day and the Social 9-hole Event held in the a ernoon.

Although there had been a small amount of rain very early morning, not one drop of rain fell on the golfers and onlookers all day! How lucky we all were!

The sun came out and made the Course preen in all of its finery and beauty. Lush green fairways and tended bush and wa le tree areas made us all feel it was such a pleasure to be playing at lovely Tarnagulla.

The laughter and conviviality in the Clubhouse once everyone had finished their event was a delight!

Like fishermen and women, we all had an opportunity to talk about some of our shots.

What! Exaggera ons? Ha! Of course!. We heard about missed pu s and chip-ins from near the sand.

We had a great day and the very good people made it great. Oh, if only we could bo le all the buzz and talk and laughter!

Our next event is the THREE CLUB MONTY on Saturday 16 September 2023 with Tee-off between 9.30 - 10.00 a.m.
