Dealing with dementia
Dementia is a condition that directly affects more than 250,000 Australians – a number which is expected to
climb to nearly a million within 40 years.
As yet there is no cure for dementia; and indeed the way our brain and nervous system works is not yet fully
understood. All the more remarkable then, that it was the German neurologist, Alois Alzheimer, born nearly
150 years ago who first identified and gave his name to a condition that has now become so common in the
developed world.
Many people think dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are one and the same. But Alzheimer’s disease is
just one particular form of dementia. Certainly, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form, accounting for
between 50% and 70% of all cases. Vascular dementia, most often caused by a series of ―mini strokes‖ is the
next most common form.
However, dementia is not really a disease at all. It’s a term used to describe the range of symptoms that
occur when the brain is affected by certain conditions or illnesses. Memory loss is just one of those
symptoms. More distressing as the dementia progressively worsens are the problems with language,
confusion about time and place and the changes in mood, behaviour and personality.
There are other problems, too, that commonly affect people with dementia: incontinence, constipation, and
dental problems. The Continence Foundation and the National Continence Helpline (1 800 330 066) can offer
support as can the staff as White Hills Pharamacy – please ask. Exercise and an increase in dietary fibre
intake are the first steps in prevention of constipation; and relieving dry mouth with artificial saliva or alcohol-
free mouthwashes will often solve the problems related to the teeth and gums.
With no cure immediately in sight, not surprisingly, recent attention has turned to the issues of identifying risk
factors and possible prevention strategies. Age, family history and genetic factors are considered to be
definite risk factors; and some other probable risk factors include head injury, high blood pressure,
uncontrolled diabetes and smoking. Sleep disorders, depression and low blood levels of vitamin B12 or folic
acid are considered to be less likely causes.
Following an external search of various studies into dementia, a report on dementia prevention was
commissioned by Alzheimer’s Australia. Perhaps the most significant recommendation from the report is that
we should keep ―intellectually stimulated and engage in social/leisure activities‖. So, exercise for the brain, as
well as the body, seems to be the prevention strategy most likely to be effective.
The so-called cholinesterase inhibitor medications are the mainstay of treatment (your pharmacist can give
you more information); antipsychotics and antidepressants are of limited value. Other medicines, including
herbal and complementary medicines, have been suggested for Alzheimer’s disease but the evidence is not
strong. However, being a non-smoker, just a light to moderate drinker, and eating a low fat diet could well be
beneficial.
Nevertheless, there is still a lot we can do to manage dementia. It all revolves around care and
understanding.
With early diagnosis and effective medicines, many people with dementia may retain their ability to
communicate, particularly if they are given the time and space to respond.
For our part, we should avoid background noise, maintain eye contact and keep our expression friendly;
remain calm and talk in a gentle matter of fact way.
For more advice, you can get dementia help sheets in 30 languages from Alzheimer’s Australia
(www.alzheimers.org.au). You’ll find the most up-to-date information with regard to the risk factors, the
symptoms and the management strategies
As well, the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has produced a fact card titled Alzheimer’s Disease
and other forms of dementia. It’s available free of charge from The White Hills Pharamcy

OPEN LETTER TO THE GOORNONG COMMUNITY
On Thursday the 12th of May a small township engagement meeting was held at the Goor-
nong Recreation reserve Hall, as usual a very poor attendance, only seven local people at-
tended. This meeting was well advertised.
As a result of this meeting a number of issues were discussed such as footpaths, roads,
drainage, the swimming pool, speed limits, exhaust brakes signage and dangerous intersec-
tions in the area. As a result of the discussion a lot of jobs have been logged with a task
number. Also as a result of the meeting, Pauline Gordon who is the Director of Community
Wellbeing at the City Of Greater Bendigo (who had only been in the job for four days) indi-
cated that she would identify an appropriate staff member to meet with me to undertake a
drive and a walk around Goornong to look at the main issues.
So on the 28th of June, Pauline Gordon and Alex Malone the manager for presentation and
works at the City Of Greater Bendigo, arrived in Goornong. I spent approximately 2 hours
with them showing them problems around the town and outlying areas. Alex noted a lot of
the problems some large, some small. Things will not be fixed overnight but I hope that this
may be a start to get some problems fixed.
If you have a problem large or small ring the City of Greater Bendigo on 5434 6000 and it
can be dealt with and given a job number for further reference (be nice to the girls on the
switch board, not like me).

GOORNONG COMMUNITY SWIMMING POOL
LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY
Recently, the committee put out a survey in the Goornong Guide, asking the
community for their opinions as to the future direction of the Pool. We had NO
response from this survey at all.
We feel that the community is underestimating the seriousness of the situation
because the possibility of the pool closing is very, very real. We are asking for
your help to avoid this happening.
The following positions exist and as of the next AGM all of them will be vacated
and need to be filled:
President:
Vice President:
Secretary:
Treasurer:
Pump Manager:
Elmore Field Days Co-ordinator:
Cleaning Co-ordinator:
Kiosk Volunteer Co-ordinator:
Food Co-ordinator:
Grounds/Maintenance Manager
Life-Guard Co-ordinator:
At the moment, a few people are trying to do the work involved with all of the-
se positions and it is basically impossible. Unless we have people willing to
take responsibility for these positions, the pool cannot continue to operate,
simply because we don’t have enough manpower to run it.
The next meeting is TUESAY NIGHT, the 9TH August at the Rec Reserve from
7.30pm. If you would like to have the pool continue, consider taking on one of
these positions and come along to the next meeting. No-one wants to see the
pool close as it is an important, and historical part of our community.
