Spring is in the air, and, based upon the last few days of August with crisp mornings and beautiful days, roll on spring enough winter! Of course, this is a really busy time of year as we prepare our statutory accounts for audit, schedule the Annual General Meeting of Residents under the Retirement Villages Act (25 th September if you want to put the date in your calendar), and of course prepare for Open Days at Frankston South and Rosebud. In the meantime, we have a planning permit for the 4 units at the junction of the 900’s Road and entrance 4 which will be commencing in the near future. This will complete the missing 4 units (921, 922, 923 & 924) in the 900 series. We have also met with our architect on progressing the next stage of Manning around the croquet lawn and where the units were demolished earlier this year. The plans are being prepared for lodgement with Council seeking a permit for 8 units on this site, with six being able to be completed in the immediate future. This development also provides for another link road between Entrance 3 roadway and across to the east towards the Grant Centre. This is an integral part of our redevelopment to try and provide a better road network to more of our units. Finally, we looked at another draft of our apartment complex planned for the area between entrances 1 and 2 opposite the Lodge. We revised our initial thoughts and are looking to establish 36 apartments immediately opposite the Lodge. We think this will be a better starting point for the project rather than our initial thoughts about stage 1 going along entrance 1. I would expect this proposal to reach Council later this year and will be an interesting discussion point with the officers and councillors. Turning our attention back to the immediate future, we are always looking for volunteers for Open Day and if you able to give an hour or so of your time it would be appreciated. Many hands make for light work. Please contact any of the social clubs or other groups who will put you to work to raise funds for the Village. Of course, we would also like you to invite family and friends to the Village on the day to enjoy the festivities. If you happen to be a football fan, then finals time is also on us. As some of you know, I am a Swans supporter (or South Melbourne supporter for accuracy) and, whilst I am happy for them to reach the finals this year, I am not certain they are playing a brand of football that will take out the prize. Hope springs eternal go swannies. Till next month Stuart VILLAGE VOICE September 2018

Spring is in the air, and, based upon the last few days of August with crisp mornings and beautiful days, roll on spring – enough winter!

Last week the Staff held a special Morning Tea with a guest speaker from “DESTINY RESCUE“ , all proceeds being donated to the cause. We offered the ‘delicious leftovers’ to our patrons at the Parkside Morning Tea and therefore were able to donate a further $60.00 to “Destiny Rescue” On August 12th we were once again visited by Southern Sounds Chorus . This was a fund raiser for Red Cross and our generous audience donated $ 320.00: the Committee added a further $30, making a total of $350.00. Thank you all again.

Once again, somebody has seen fit to help themselves to the fruit on one of our mandarin trees and stripped it clean. May we remind residents and their families that all fruit and vegetables belong to the vegetable growers who spend many hours and lots of energy tending their gardens. Please be aware that sales of some of the produce through the kiosk raises money for us to be able to maintain and improve the gardens. Sad to say, due to repeated thefts, we are now exploring the possibility of installing security cameras in the area. Dick Charman, Garden Manager

Marie who takes the gentle exercise classes at the Clarke Centre every Monday morning would like to advise her clients that she will be away - Monday 17th & 24th September plus Monday 1st October. Her classes will resume back on Monday 8th October.

Mindfulness for Life

Every Tuesday 10 am to 11am at Clarke Centre followed by morning tea.

Life can sometimes be wobbly. It requires stability. We will look at what simple precautions we can take to help us overcome various challenges we face in our daily life. These weekly meetings will help you to learn meditation and the inner workings of our mind to regain stability. It will look at how our mindsets are formed and how they

limit our creative potentials. It will also help to focus on what is positive and leave negative thoughts that stop us living life fully.

At the meeting on Friday Barbara Hitches showed us her Family History which she had learnt through a DNA test with MyHeritage. She has also learnt the names of other DNA matches which may lead to more discoveries about her family. Obviously a worthwhile exercise for Barbara and of interest to us all. I am very happy to be able to tell everyone that the organisation of the

Group is now being taken over by Sandy Fletcher and Sue Hinds. Both ladies are experienced in Family History research, have extensive knowledge of genealogy products and local services that are available, and are keen to continue our meetings . Our next meeting is on Friday September 21 at Parkside at 2.00 pm. when we will be discussing results of DNA tests. Mary and I thank everyone for their support and look forward to seeing you all at the coming meetings. Irene.

Longer, sunnier days mean we tend to be out walking more often than we do in winter. Your shoes may be looking slightly worse for wear, though. An easy way to check whether it’s time for a new pair:

Check the sole to ensure you haven’t worn through one particular area more than another, these differences in thickness can affect the balance the shoe provides.

Press under the front of the shoe and the heel to see whether the cushioning is still intact which if worn reduces comfort and support.

Ensure the straps and laces are intact and provide a secure fit which will affected the overall fit of the shoe.

Tuesday 18th September 2pm at Parkside Podiatrist Tennille and Nicole, the representative from Global Footcare will hold a footwear assessment and fitting session with residents.

The brands from Global Footcare offer a unique fit for women and men who may be finding it difficult to find comfortable or have an orthotic they would like to fit correctly in their footwear. The brands offer:

Width fittings

Removable inserts for orthotics (or an insole with support)

Strap extensions to ensure a comfortable and personalised fit

Diabetic-friendly styles .

I wish to thank Bridget and Staff who

organised the “40 years” in Village Baxter

celebration afternoon tea for mum –

Joyce Grindrod on the 7th August.

It was a memorable afternoon for Diane

and myself. We appreciated the wonderful

cake and gifts of ‘the plate’ and beautiful

flowers.

Thank you Rae

Spring is here! Don’t you just love it! The trees are budding, new life pushes through the soil to greet this new season; many birds have built their nests, laid their eggs and await the explosion of new life. It is amazing what a new season brings and there’s a new kind of energy excitement and anticipation. It brings a new adventure, new perspectives, new opportunities a new sense of life. This is one of the awesome things I love and appreciate about God’s creation. Breaking out of the bleakness, the darkness, the dullness there springs this newness, this sense of new life – the old dreary days of winter are being left behind and we can embrace the joyful bright days of spring. When was the last time you took to time to enjoy creation? We can catch a glimpses of this beauty and brilliance as we take time to “stop and smell the roses” as it were. Let’s be amazed again as we look out the window onto a garden scattered in colour, as we smell the depth of a scented rose, drink in the brilliance of the sunset or sunrise over the water and landscape, be engulphed by the sounds of lorikeets chattering together among the flowering gums as they feed. You know, too often we can be caught up in the bleak, the misery or even be too much in a hurry to enjoy this new beginning that Spring affords us. Let me encourage you to embrace this new season, this new beginning, this new adventure. Also let me encourage you that as you enter this new season, why not ask the God who created this wonderful world and universe to help you look for something new each day to be thankful for, to be grateful for and to share with someone else. Psalm 124:8 “Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.” Bless you Steve Jarlett (Rev) Snr Chaplain

Thank you

With much appreciation from Helen and
