Welcome to 2020 … (and hopefully summer) As I write this article it is currently 18 degrees and overcast; I had my office heater on when I arrived at work this morning and I am wondering when summer will arrive. However I know that when it does, we will have hot days, the Victorian Power Grid may struggle to cope and we will likely have power blackouts as demand exceeds supply and cool change storms roll in and knock over trees into power lines. This all sounds like a doom and gloom way to start the year and decade, however it is important to prepare for seasonal change – and with more information than ever before available at the click of a button, I hope that the “20’s” are a decade that enables us all to be more proactive in all aspects of our lives. A really good summary of what to do in a power blackout was extracted from an RACV message and shared with me by a Resident (thank-you to John T). How to prepare for a blackout, and what to do when it hits. Severe weather such as storms, high winds, lightning, floods and heatwaves are often to blame for power failure, especially if wild weather causes trees to fall across powerlines. Here is what the RACV recommends we do to prepare for power failure.

Before an outage ensure you have:

• A charged mobile phone.

• Alternatives to mains lighting such as torches, LED lanterns or candles.

• A battery-powered radio for updates on outages and weather.

• An alternative if you have life-saving equipment such as an oxygen concentrator.

• A list of important phone numbers.

• If it’s a planned outage, set your freezer and fridge to the coldest setting and freeze some of the items from your fridge.

During an outage:

• Turn off and unplug all electrical appliances to prevent damage from a power surge when electricity is restored.

• Check if your neighbours have lost power and if they haven’t, check that your safety switch hasn’t tripped.

• Move food from fridge to freezer and only open fridge or freezer doors when necessary.

• The emergency nurse call system has a battery backup, however after a prolonged outage this may also lose power. If you need the nurse, call 0408 591 263

After an outage:

• Food that is still cold to touch (less than five degrees) can be eaten within four hours but after that must be thrown away.

• Freezers set at minus15 degrees can keep foods at safe temperatures for one to two days.

• Frozen food that has defrosted can be refrozen if it is still cold to touch or less than five degrees.

When Summer does finally arrive, remember to be proactive about your home security – lock your doors and don’t leave doors and windows open at night. If you don’t have air-conditioning in your unit, make use of the cool community centres and be certain to drink plenty of water. Take care, stay cool, Kim Jackson, Executive Manager

Village Baxter Bowls Club Much more than just a bowling club.

Ted Porter Day.

On 16th November the Club conducted a bowls day sponsored by the late Ted Porter, a long time club member and former President of the Club. The weather gods turned on a nice day and over 30 members enjoy a changed format from our normal 2 games triples with 4 games of five ends. Thanks to Ted’s generosity lots of prizes were awarded for various achievements on the day. A special thank you goes to Ron Osborne and all those who helped, plus greens and kitchen folk for making the day such a success.

State Title Women’s Pairs Championship 2019-20 – Knockout.

On a glorious December Sunday, the Village Baxter Bowls Club hosted the first & second rounds of the Women’s knockout competition for the Mornington Peninsula Bowls Division.

Take The Mystery Out of Computing

Can The Computer Clinic Help You?

• Did Santa or one of the family give you a digital device for Christmas?

• Did you receive an iTunes, or similar “App (application / program), or purchase

a Card” & need to learn how to use it?

• Did you get a new game or accessory for your electronic gadgets?

• Tired of the grand kids beating you on their new computer games over the Christmas

holidays and want to learn some tricks to keep them guessing?

With this in mind, let our convenors Chris & John know about any specific issues and they will plan a topic or games session or two, to help you regardless of whether you are a beginner or a regular user, or you just forgot some of the finer points of gaming.

“Got my eyes tested the other day and told the doctor I could see into next year… He said I had 2020 vision!” It’s here. The New Year has arrived, and it is 2020. Can you believe that! A few years ago, I went four-wheel driving in the mountains in Gippsland with some of my family. After a few hours of eating dust, jumping around, dodging rocks and trees we arrived at The Pinnacles. And in the words of Rex Hunt “absolutely magnificent”!! We pulled up into the car park and those Blue Mountains and deep valleys stretched out in front of us for miles. Breathtaking! Looking around, we noticed a small “goat track” that lead us to a fire observation tower; there the view was even more stunning! The eucalyptus bush, the rugged mountain ridges stretched out until they hit sky, the valleys and rivers, creeks and lakes were all there to see. It was spread out like a blanket. With all that in front of me, I could have just stopped and looked at what was right there under my nose nice as that was, but I would have missed the whole panorama. But I couldn’t help myself, the view was so amazing, I couldn’t even drink it all in. And the more I looked the more there was to see, to enjoy. With the wind blowing in my face, the smell of fresh mountain air and that view! When I think about it, it reminds me of a New Year that is stretched out in front of us. The view is amazing! It’s exciting, there it is all before us. We do have a couple of choices though. We could just look at what is right under our noses or we could look up and see this spectacular view of a New Year ahead. Just take it in. Look at what you can see; yes there could be some valleys, that is true, but as you look up there are also those incredible mountain peaks. And as you look around there is even more to see, to take in. I believe this New Year brings new adventures, new hopes and dreams, new possibilities, even new starts as we step out into it together. I pray that your 2020 will be filled with hope and joy, love and laughter, blessings and favour from our God who loves you and desires to do life with you. Jesus said “…I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” (John 10:10 NIV) Have a blessed 2020, Steve Snr Chaplain

It is difficult for me to find words to adequately express how much Norma and I appreciated the help, encouragement and attention that was shown to me virtually every day of the last 6 months by our Village Nurses. Thank you and may God bless you - each one. Bryan Greenwood – Unit 919

We would like to thank all our Village Baxter family for their support and contributions in making Kirsty’s memorial day so special.

From food fairies, piano pushers and chair champs, to administration, maintenance, nursing and the ladies card group who gave up the craft room, we couldn’t have done it without you.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the flowers, cards, and well wishes. We were really overwhelmed and truly

humbled by the love and support surrounding us.

It’s an amazing reminder of how lucky we are to live where we do.

Sincerely, Cate & Peter Nelson and family.
