ho doesn’t love the beach? Well, to be fair, I actually know a few people who don’t like the beach, but surely they’re among the minority.

It’s almost November, which means the beginning of beach weather for those of us lucky ducks who love summer and live on the Coast. The water is still a little nippy for me, but I can’t wait for the many months ahead, filled with awkward bolts across scorching sand, that initial plunge into waves that take your breath away, the bare-foot dash to the shops for a cheeky Paddle Pop, togs hanging over the backs of chairs on the deck at home – ah, I can smell the coconut oil already.

But for those Sunny Coasters on the pale side of a tan, and even for those with olive tones, the best beach days are the ones that don’t end in red raw skin. My fellow fairskinned colleague, Jarna Baudinette, is making

So slap on your sunscreen and rash shirt, wide-brimmed hat and Cancer Council sunnies, and head over the page to remind yourself how to enjoy the great weather without risking your skin and your health.

In a sunny country like ours, you can receive more than your fair share of harmful UV rays just walking to and from the shops, having a picnic in the park, or swimming laps at the pool

SUMMER PREVIEW Finally, it looks as though we’re in for a decent summer. Get outdoors and enjoy it to the fullest, but keep your hat, sunnies, protective shirt and sunscreen close by.

WORDS Jarna Baudinette

A

ustralians love being out in the sun, and nowhere more so than right here on the Sunshine Coast. We’re blessed with a beautiful coastline and hinterland region, and if you’re anything like me, after a couple of rainy summers you’ll be keen to get outdoors over the next few months and soak up as many rays as possible.

But with summer on the way, it’s also a good time to remind yourself of the dangers of high UV exposure.

According to the Queensland Cancer Council, our state has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, with 2928 people diagnosed in 2008 (the most recent figures available). Around 445,000 Australians are treated for the disease every year, including 10,000 cases of melanoma, which is the least common but most aggressive form of skin cancer. Tragically, more than 1500 of these people will die each year.

Skin cancer occurs when UV rays damage the skin’s cells, causing them to mutate. Compared to the 1980s, when Cancer Council Australia’s iconic Slip! Slop!

Slap! campaign was launched, the general population is now much more aware of the dangers of sun exposure.

However, for some people, a high level of unprotected exposure as a child (back when we didn’t really know how harmful the sun could be) is enough to put them in the high-risk category for skin cancer. People with a fair complexion have less melanin in their skin to

[ 8 ] MY W EEKLY P RE VIE W \ O CTO B E R 26, 20 1 2

absorb harmful UV rays, and so are at a higher risk of developing melanoma; but a tan still offers no sun protection, and even those with olive or dark complexions need to be vigilant. A family history of melanoma also puts you at risk, but so too does the simple fact that you live in Australia – in a sunny country like ours, you can receive more than your share of harmful UV rays just walking to and from the shops, having a picnic in the park or swimming laps at the local pool.

As a result, it is important Sunshine Coast residents follow the Slip! Slop! Slap! rules when they are planning to be out in the sun: wearing protective clothing and a hat, and applying sunscreen every two hours. The guidelines have been amended to also include wearing sunglasses for eye protection and seeking shelter in the middle of the day (when UV levels are at their highest).

However, it is also crucial to regularly monitor your skin for any irregularities, and have skin checks with your GP or at a specialised skin clinic. A doctor will examine your freckles, moles and sun spots for what’s known as ‘A,B,C,D,E’ – asymmetry, border, colour, diameter and evolution, which are the typical ways melanoma differs from a normal freckle or mole. If you are over 25 and notice a new mole, or if you observe any long-term changes in existing moles, you should see your GP as soon as possible.

Types of skin cancer There are three primary types of skin cancer, each named after the type of skin cell it develops in.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common form of skin cancer, accounting for around 75 per cent of all incidences. BCCs can develop on any part of the body, but are most commonly found on the face, head, neck and trunk. They are slow growing and rarely fatal, but are much easier to treat in the early stages and if left untreated can cause serious structural damage to the surrounding tissues.

Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) grow faster than BCCs and usually form a scaly or wart-like pink growth, which may crust or bleed. SCCs occur most commonly on areas exposed to a lot of sunlight such as the face, ears, lips and the backs of the hands, but can spread to other parts of the body.

Malignant melanoma is the least common form of skin cancer (accounting for less than five per cent of all cancers) but also the most life-threatening, as it can spread throughout the body via the lymphatic or blood vessels and metastasise. Melanomas can develop from an existing mole or appear as a new red, brown or black spot which grows in size. Melanomas typically have an uneven or smudgy boundary and contain irregular colours, except for nodular melanomas, which are a highly aggressive form of cancer and have a raised, even appearance.

While melanomas do occur on areas commonly exposed to the sun they can also appear on other parts of the body usually protected by clothing, but that have been sunburned in the past.

New genetic research h An Australian study launched in August will map all the common n gene mutations that cause deadly y skin cancer in an attempt to find new ways to treat the disease.

The $5.5 million Australian Melanoma Genome Project will initially screen 500 melanoma tumour samples held at the Melanoma Institute Australia in Sydney and the Queensland Institute itutee of Medical Research. Once the gene mutations have been identified, researchers will determine how comm common mon each mutation is and what role itt pla plays ys in the growth and spread of melanoma. oma.

Co-director of research at Melanoma elano oma Institute Australia, oncologist Professor ofesssor Rick Kefford, says Australia is uniquely y po positioned ositioned to undertake the research because se th thee high incidence of skin cancer in the country ounttry mean researchers have access to significant numbers 60s – the institute of records dating back to the 1960s n of ttumour umour tissue has the world’s largest collection es, an nd analysing stored, with around 3500 samples, and 500 tumours will give a high probability obabiility of detecting all the mutations responsible onsib ble for the disease.

In 2002 researchers identified d a gene geene mutation called BRAF, responsible for about ut half haalf of all melanoma tumours, which can now be targeted eted with drugs known as BRAF inhibitors to prolong patients’ ents’ lives. But Kefford says the problem with the drugs is tumours nd ways to adjust to mours fi find bypass the medications.

“This sort of technology will allow us to examine carefully what’s going on in tumours that become resistant to BRAF inhibitors, and a whole series of other questions,” he says. “There’s a whole set of diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic outcomes from this down the track.”

Kefford, who is also the director of Westmead Institute for Cancer Research in Sydney, says the whole project will probably take three to five years.

Executive director of Melanoma Institute Australia, Professor John Thompson, adds that the project will move the world closer to preventing and curing skin cancer.

“We would be surprised if this work does not translate into a major extension of life for thousands of people worldwide with melanoma,” he says.

SKIN CANCER HITS GREAT BARRIER REEF FISH Melanomas have been detected in wild fish populations for the first time on the Great Barrier Reef and the most likely culprit is ultra-violet radiation, says lead researcher Michael Sweet from the UK’s Newcastle University.

The university and the Australian Institute of Marine Science examined 136 coral trout captured in less than 20 metres of water at Heron Island and One Tree Island, in the southern area of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, between August 2010 and February 2012.

About 15 per cent of the fish captured had dark lesions on the surface of the skin, but were otherwise healthy. The lesions were characteristic of melanomas created in laboratories on the fish

species Xiphophorus, the research found. The sampled fish were caught in a protected marine park area with no evidence of pollution, and therefore the likelihood the cancers were caused by carcinogenic pollutants was low.

“Further work needs to be carried out to establish the exact cause of the cancer, but having eliminated other likely factors such as microbial pathogens and marine pollution, UV radiation appears to be the most likely cause,” Sweet says. While other researchers suggest the high levels of melanoma could be related to a genetic defect, previous studies have shown UV radiation can have detrimental effects on marine and freshwater organisms and can penetrate as deep as 60 metres.

There’s little doubt sunscreen has helped to reduce the occurrence of skin cancer in Australia. However, over the past few years there has been some concern over nanoparticles, which are micronised metal particles present in some sunscreens – metals such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are regularly used for UV protection in micro form. But some products contain the much smaller nanoparticles, and some argue these are dangerous if they cross the skin barrier and reach the cells or bloodstream. However, the long-term health impacts are unknown, and the Cancer Council of Australia maintains its sunscreens are safe, and urges people to educate themselves on the issue and keep up their sun protection.

opular motivational speaker Barry Bull will bring his unique brand of business wisdom to a fundraising breakfast at Mooloolaba Surf Club on November 16.

The well-known musician, record company executive, award-winning retailer and author was having his morning swim at Mooloolaba beach recently when he was approached about speaking at the breakfast, hosted by Mooloolaba Surf Life Saving Club Jupiters Summer Surf Girl Brianna Heaney.

“We managed to accost him on his swim and asked him to come on board,” says Heaney. “We knew how great he is as a motivational speaker, and we were lucky to snag such a renowned businessman. He knows my grandparents really well, so when he found out who I was, he was happy to help out.”

Heaney is undertaking a range of fundraising events and community awareness initiatives as part of her Summer Surf Girl quest, and says she hopes the breakfast will attract at least 200 people.

“All the funds I raise as Jupiter Summer Surf Girl go directly back to Mooloolaba Surf Club, but I make sure it is being spent on equipment we need on the beach,” says Heaney. “The profits of the

Brianna Heaney breakfast will probably go to nippers or youth development, and we need new IRB motors.”

Sunshine Coast identity Peter Lang will compere the breakfast.

“I’ll do an interview with Peter so people can find out what I’m doing,” says Heaney. “A lot of people are confused about where the money goes.”

Heaney recently returned from eight days in Bali, where she took first aid supplies, rescue mannequins and rescue tubes, and assisted in training members of the Bali Surf Life Saving Club.

Heaney is up against 22 Summer Surf Girl representatives from other Queensland clubs. The winner will be announced at a ball in May 2013.

Nice work if you can get it Multi-award-winning Sunshine Coast artist Chris Postle has been invited to be resident artist at a Fijian resort for two weeks in November.

A professional artist for 25 years, Chris is renowned for his diversity of subjects and mediums and is thrilled to be heading to Daku Resort, Savusavu, to teach art to locals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was wondering how you become a tutor in a beautiful place like that, so I Googled the resort and sent them my resume,â&#x20AC;? says Postle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 20 minutes I had a reply. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been quite difficult to survive in the art world in Australia. This residency has given me a whole fresh outlook and a new creative lease on life.â&#x20AC;?

Postle says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take paint, canvas, paper and charcoal to Fiji supplement a lack of local materials.

The resort has already booked Postle for more residencies next year.

Pick up a poppy or two Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget RSL Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major fundraiser, the Poppy Appeal, which is on now until November 11. The event is held annually in the lead-up to Remembrance Day on November 11 and the aim this year is to raise $500,000 for RSL projects and veteran services.

Remembrance Day marks the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I in 1918. According to the RSL more than 60,000 Australian soldiers were killed in that war and since then, more than 100,000 Australians have died during military service.

Poppies are being sold across the Coast. For information visit rslqld.org.

ore than 14,500 Australian women are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year and that number is set to rise to more than 17,000 in the next eight years.

But despite that sobering statistic, Cancer Australia CEO Professor Helen Zorbas says Australia has one of the world’s best survival rates from the disease.

“Just a generation ago … only about 72 out of every 100 women were alive five years after their diagnoses. Now it’s 89,” Zorbas told a Pink Ribbon Day breakfast in Sydney recently.

She told the audience, which included Health Minister Tanya Plibersek and Governor-General Quentin Bryce, early detection is largely responsible for the increase in survival rates.

Zorbas pointed to the national mammography screening program as a factor, together with increasing awareness of the disease.

She said concerns of the cancer’s recurrence is a factor that affects survivors but pointed to recent research involving more than 10,000 women with the disease, indicating exercise may help keep it at bay.

“Even moderate physical activity was shown to reduce the risk of recurrence by 24 per cent and reduce the risk of dying by more than a third,” she said.

Breast cancer survivor Sharon Cohrs, from Cairns, took this advice seriously by becoming the first breast cancer survivor to climb to the summit of Mount Everest.

Cohrs told the breakfast, “Every time I would sit in that chemo chair I would close my eyes and could feel the cold mountain air on my face … I would then picture myself standing on top of the mountain with my arms out wide feeling pain-free … and my sickness was gone.” AAP

hristchurch’s determination to rise from the rubble has been richly rewarded with a spot in Lonely Planet’s top 10 cities worldwide to visit in 2013.

It’s expected that a nod from one of the world’s most popular travel guides, which placed Christchurch sixth, will be a boost for the city’s tourism industry which was brought to its knees after the 2011 earthquake.

San Francisco tops the list, followed by Amsterdam and the

Indian city of Hyderabad. Hobart is seventh.

Much of Christchurch’s infrastructure was ruined in the quake and 185 people were killed.

Christchurch was singled out

by Lonely Planet for the way it was “bouncing back with a new energy and inventiveness”. “New Zealand’s second largest city is rising from the rubble ... with a breathtaking mix of spirit, determination and flair,” a spokesperson said.

quire Development Group director Peter Fletcher has worked on all sorts of sites around the Coast. “I’ve developed a lot of different land over the past 32 years here on the Coast, and this one in particular on Lake Kawana just struck me as a fantastic investment,” Fletcher tells MWP, regarding his decision to buy land in the Oceanside health precinct almost four years ago.

“At the time, Birtinya Island wasn’t even developed and I just had to believe in the opportunity of the future planned new health precinct, and what it could offer,” he adds.

“When I understood the magnitude of the planned projects that were going to take place in the immediate area, I knew that in the long term, there was going

to be a huge demand for suitable accommodation.

“Our team at Squires decided to think outside the box and create a gated community, of apartments, villas and townhouses on the waterfront, giving our clients choice in the style of living they prefer. For most families on the Sunshine Coast, purchasing a new property on the waterfront is only a dream, so we at Squire’s have turned that into a reality by offering quality waterfront living for under $500,000.”

“Four years on and we are now in construction of stage one.”

Called Residence on Regatta, the project has been separated into four different stages. “The first three surround the waterfront and the final is the multi-storey tower of apartments,” Fletcher says. “We have

really thought about what would best suit our clients, whether they are working at the nearby health precinct or wanting to invest. We needed a product that would provide the opportunity to live, work and play all within close proximity.”

Developers report that the buzz around the hub has led to new enquiries from all sorts of buyers, but particularly those that work in the health sector. Health professionals are securing contracts to work in the new hospitals and need suitable long- or short-term accommodation.

The Reserve Bank deputy governor Phillip Lowe recently said that in the past five years, the health sector has created 300,000 new net jobs. This news supports

For most families on the Sunshine Coast, purchasing a new property on the waterfront is only a dream, so we have turned that into a reality Peter Fletcher the estimates of new health jobs the Sunshine Coast health hub will create.

For now, Fletcher is encouraging potential buyers to visit the area.

“We have a stunning waterfront display for people to visit and get a real feel for what it would be like to live their dream lifestyle in the new Oceanside precinct,” he says.

H AL L O W EEN? PREVIEW Is Halloween a harmlessly whimsical event that creates happy childhood memories? Or is it just another commercial gimmick that fleeces parents and gives kids cavities?

WORDS Vincent Morello

M

y neighbour plans to whisk her two children away while the rest of the young families in our inner-city street celebrate Halloween for an hour.

She’s American by birth and moved to Sydney in her teens, so her decision perplexes me. Maybe her husband is one of the many Australians who hate the October 31 tradition, chalking it up as another American, overcommercialised attack on children.

They’re nice people who also opted out of last year’s inaugural trick-or-treat event and will do so again this year.

It was my Australian wife who came up with the idea. Around this time last year she asked me what I did on Halloween as a child growing up in California.

My eyes widened as I described in great detail how my siblings and I went to the local pumpkin patch and each chose one for about $1.

On the night, we walked from house to house and politely gathered goodies from adults who were equally excited when they heard the unmistakable doorknock of children eager to show off our homemade costumes.

The chocolates and lollies came a distant second to the imaginary world we entered for an evening. We would arrive home tired and pour our contents on to the kitchen table for mum to inspect. Anything unwrapped or slightly opened went in the bin.

So last year, my wife deposited flyers into letterboxes, about 35 houses in all, inviting the neighbours to participate. All politely responded, with about half

A history of Halloween

saying they would join the fun. I went to my local Coles and found a Halloween pumpkin for $3 per kilo. Ouch.

Halloween came, and by dusk the trick-or-treating was over. Smiles all around.

I would dare say neighbours in one out of 50 Australian streets would organise something similar for their kids.

Therefore, those who don’t observe Halloween are going just fine.

When Halloween does come to your doorstep, as it does to mine, why not join in? Did the US solely commercialise this international day of observation? Unlikely.

If so, does that stop Australians from celebrating Christmas and Easter – two religious events swamped with buying, buying and more buying? And why shouldn’t children get to dress up for an hour? It’s what Australians do best. More than half of the parties I’ve attended in Sydney were fancy dress, thanks to hundreds of costumehire shops that dot the metropolitan area.

Worried about the safety? Unlike the US, longer spring days now work in our favour. And what about neighbourly goodwill that it creates? If it’s the fear of being Americanised, give it up.

Australian history books overwhelming show that the fathers of federation took what they saw as the best of the US Constitution and political system to create the Commonwealth of Australia. The White Australia Policy began its slow death after World War II when Australian politicians publicly acknowledged the successful migration of eastern Europeans to the US. But forget all that. Halloween is an opportunity for children to smile, which makes everybody else happy.

Historians seem to agree that the origins of modern-day Halloween celebrations date back to the Celtic festival known as Samhain. The Celts lived in medieval France, the UK and Ireland, and in preChristian times marked the beginning of the northern hemisphere’s long dark winter with Samhain. They believed that on October 31 the borders between the worlds of the dead a and nd d the living became blurred. So they eyy popped on costumes, built bonfires, re es, es sacrificed animals and prophesised ed d about a the future in the hope of keeping the the evil spirits th at bay in the cold days ahead.

Once the Romans had conquered red d much of Europe it is believed this festival was combined with Roman festivals, thus keeping the tradition alive.

The Catholics did their bit – in the seventh century they started celebrating All Martyrs Day and later All Saints Day. Many historians believed the church established All Souls Day in AD 1000 in an attempt to replace the Celtic festival with a Christian one.

So how did a pagan ritual become an American tradition, especially given modernday America was built on rigid Protestant beliefs? In the later part of the 19th century, new immigrants poured into the nation, and many of them, particularly the Irish who had arrived to escape the potato famine in the mid 1800s, brought the Halloween tradition along.

American children were soon dressing up and going around the houses in their communities, asking for money, and the practice of trick-or-treating was born.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s parties for all ages to celebrate Halloween were popular, and throughout the 20th century, the evening evolved into a celebration more for young children.

According to US site history.com, “Americans spend an estimated $6 billion on Halloween, making it the country’s second largest commercial holiday.”

Despite its very un-American origins, many Australians are reluctant to adopt the tradition, and still view Halloween as further Americanisation of the Australian culture and language, where young children are taught to beg for lollies and treats.

P

lanning for retirement is something many people either ignore, or put in the too-hard basket – it is such a long way off that they will think about it later. However, there are many reasons why planning now can vastly improve your retirement nest egg and ability to actually enjoy your retirement.

The average life expectancy at age 40 is estimated to be approximately 41 years more for a male and 45 years for a female. So if you plan to retire at age 60, you will need your investments to not only last between 21 and 25 years, but also to provide enough income during this time to allow you to live life to the fullest.

It is therefore a good idea to start seriously thinking about how you are going to provide for your retirement sooner rather than later.

Planning for your retirement will mean you can choose to retire when you want to, rather than having to stay at work.

For most people, their income in retirement is met by a combination of their superannuation savings and the age pension. Although you may retire whenever you like, there are

regulations covering when you can access your superannuation.

Generally, you must reach your preservation age before you can access your super as either a lump sum or pension.

People born before July 1, 1960 can generally access their super when they are 55, whereas if you were born after June 30, 1964, you have to be 60.

Currently, the maximum annual age pension for a couple is around $30,200 (combined) or $20,000 per annum for a single. This is essentially a safety net to meet your basic needs.

Your rate of pension is calculated according to your level of assets and income. Any income required above this will need to be funded by your own savings.

To ensure you have a comfortable retirement, now is a good time to have a spring clean of your retirement savings and in particular look at maximising your contributions to superannuation.

U

S restaurant owners who once relied on ‘no cell phones, please’ signs are now experimenting with everything from penalties for using phones, discounts for not using them and outright bans on photography.

“There’s no place to get away from the chatter,” says Julie Liberty, who started the US-based Facebook page ‘Ban Cell Phones From Restaurants’ earlier this year.

Eva Restaurant in Los Angeles began offering patrons a five per cent discount if they leave their phone at the door.

Online comments ranged from cheers of ‘YES!’ to others who said their phones would have to be pried from their cold, dead hands. But the policy is working. Eva’s Rom Toulon says about 40 per cent of customers leave their mobile phones at the door.

A deli in the US state of Vermont posted a sign telling customers that $3 will be added to their bill “if you fail to get off your phone while at the counter. It’s rude.”

Disgusted diners are doing their part with games like ‘phone stack’, in which everyone places their phones in a pile in the middle of the table.

The first person who reaches for their phone pays the bill for all.

Irritation over distracted dining has broadened with the rise of photo-sharing apps like Instagram.

The popular online scrapbook Pinterest is clogged with photos of food snapped moments before eating.

Grant Achatz, a Chicago-based molecular gastronomist, once wrote a much-forwarded post complaining about it. “I can’t imagine how celebrities feel,” he wrote. “No wonder they punch the paparazzi out when they get the chance.”

Some restaurants ban photos, like David Chang’s Ko in New York City.

At high-end Washington restaurant Rogue 24, hostesses ask guests to take photos without a distracting flash.

“I mean you can’t fight it,” says owner RJ Cooper. “Why fight a losing battle?”

One in five US adults say they share online when eating a meal with others, and more than a third of teens do the same, according to the 2012 State of Mobile Etiquette Survey.

The same survey found 81 per cent of US adults believe mobile manners are getting worse – this result is up six percentage points from last year.

MAKE/MODEL CHRYSLER 300C LUXURY DETAILS Five-door, five-seat full-sized luxury sedan with six-cylinder turbo-diesel engine and five-speed automatic transmission.

CHRYSLER 300C, AN UNDERSTATED AMERICAN WORDS Peter Atkinson, AAP

I

t’s fair to say the GFC wasn’t all that kind to the US. And the economic meltdown hit particularly hard in Motown, Detroit, where America’s greatest automotive brands found themselves staring into the abyss – Armageddon for an industry already lurching and listing heavily. But just like a bushfire, it has led to a renewal of the American motor industry from those

IMAGES AAP brands that survived the inferno.

One such survivor is Chrysler, which in motoring’s new world order now sits beneath the ownership umbrella of Italian giant Fiat, and which seems well-placed to blossom and grow from the depths of those dark days.

The Fiat takeover arrangement has led to a somewhat unholy alliance in Australia, where the company that

distributes brands like Alfa Romeo and Fiat – long known for their European flair and sporty driving traits – also markets Chryslers and Jeeps, which are known for pretty much the opposite.

But maybe some of that European DNA has already started to rub off on these American brands, if the newly launched Chrysler 300 is any example.

The new 300 is unmistakably from the same stock as the iconic ‘pimp mobile’

FEATURES Electronic stability control; seven airbags including driver’s knee airbag; allspeed traction control; adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning system; blind-spot monitors, front and rear parking sensors; electric windows, mirrors and seats; leather trim; heated and ventilated seats, heated steering wheel; keyless entry and start; bi-xenon headlamps; touch-screen satellite navigation system.

THIRST 7.1L/100KM. VERDICT The big, bold American gets a touch of European sophistication.

The diesel, built by VM Motori in Italy, is an impressive powertrain which gives liberal oomph (176 kilowatts, 550 Newton

Chromy, turbine-style instruments, complete with an old-style blue hue to the backlighting, are a particular feature, as is an attractive analogue clock which sits high on the dash.

The star, though, is the massive touch-screen system, known as UConnect, through which most of the Chrysler’s cabin functions are accessed. The UConnect system is the nerve centre of the big Chrysler.

It provides touch-screen access to a wide array of cabin management tasks including satellite navigation, a comprehensive trip computer, the high-end audio system as well as settings for the heated and ventilated seats and heated steering wheel, and even the electrically driven sun blind which rolls over the rear window to protect passengers from unwanted rays. It features voice activation and Bluetooth connectivity for up to seven different devices.

it replaces. It has the same in-yourface, bold and brassy design from the big grille to the squared-off stance and bulky flanks. But it’s also a far more refined machine to look at, and happily to drive as well.

We sampled the new 300 when Chrysler launched it in Melbourne a few months back, but got better acquainted with a week-long test recently in the 300C Luxury model, with a three-litre V6 turbo-diesel engine. What we found was that rare species: a subtle, understated American.

Chrysler seems to have kept most of what was good about the previous model but added a liberal dose of sophistication, from the vastly upgraded interior to the sharper but still compliant way this big sedan rides and handles. And, with the impressive performance of the turbo-diesel, it does so without the hefty fuel penalty originally associated with the 300, back in the days when it relied solely on the legendary Hemi V8. That engine is still available, although now exclusively in the high-performance

<from previous page collision avoidance alert and blindspot monitors in the side mirrors.

Electronic pedestrian protection, electronic stability control with brake assist and all-speed traction control and a welter of airbags (seven in all) take care of the safety equation. What hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed much is the sheer dimensions of the new 300.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a seriously big car, comparable in length to a MercedesBenz S-Class or Holden Caprice. We struggled to fit it into our garage, so large are its dimensions. Its length is emphasised by the sharp, squared-off edges of the front guards and boot line, which define the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dimensions at the corners. A high-tech front and rear parking assist system helps ease the pain somewhat, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still no bargain to squeeze into tight spots.

Despite its imposing size, interior space is not as generous as you might expect. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly ample space for adults front and back, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the acres of legroom you might find in cars

like the Caprice, for instance.

Equally, while the boot is capacious, it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t swallow quite the same load as other cars of this size.

Where the Chryslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bulk is seen to advantage is in its ride â&#x20AC;&#x201C; its long wheelbase soaking up most road imperfections. But just as importantly, the new 300 feels far more sturdy on the road than the rather soft, wallowing road manners of its predecessor. This car turns in accurately, sits squarely on the road and never feels hurried or unsettled in quick changes of direction, belying its size.

In all, then, the 300 is a muchimproved proposition over the car it replaces. Best of all is the price. The entry-level Limited model, with a V6 engine and eight-speed auto, hits the road from a tasty $43,000.

Pricing pushes up as far as $51,000 for the top-spec Luxury model, and you can add another $5000 for the turbo-diesel we tested.

But even at $56,000 it represents uncommonly good value. Financial crisis. What financial crisis?

TOYOTA CAMRY CSX SEDAN 2007 FORD BF MARK11 SEDAN A very well cared for car. Good service history, nicely appointed with cruise control, climate control and very low kms.

Economical 4 cyl motor

WHITE HOT WHEELS If you bought a new vehicle this year, chances are high it was white or silver.

Twenty-two per cent of cars and trucks built for the 2012 model year have white paint, making it the most popular colour worldwide. Silver is close behind, at 20 per cent, followed by black at 19 per cent. Grey and red follow to round out the top five.

The annual rankings are compiled

by PPG Industries, a US company that provides paints to car makers.

White, which was also popular in the 1980s, is making a comeback as a modern, high-tech colour thanks in part to Apple Inc’s all-white stores and glossy white gadgets, says Jane Harrington, PPG’s manager of colour styling for car companies.

Manufacturers are also making more varieties of white, from the flat, bright white on many vans to the pearly cream of luxury SUVs. White and other ‘safe’ colours – silver, grey and black – also became more popular during the economic downturn, as buyers stopped leasing

and bought vehicles they expected to hold on to for much longer, says Michelle Killen, GM’s lead colour designer for exterior paints. “Buyers want to purchase a colour they won’t grow tired of over an extended period of time,” Killen says.

PPG also develops paints for other industries and Harrington predicts customers will see more browns and oranges over the next two years. As for the 2015 and 2016 model years, PPG is showing 64 future colour options to auto makers this week. Among those are Al Fresco, a silver metallic with a green tint; Glacier, an icy grey with a violet blue tone; and Elixir, a metallic mixture of silver and magenta.

Australians first to see latest Batmobile

Toyota Corolla joins ANCAP five-star group

Got a spare $2.7 mil?

The new Toyota Corolla has achieved the maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating. The Corolla comes with seven airbags and emergency brake signal as standard on all variants. Also achieving five stars was the new Colorado 7 – an SUV adaption of the Colorado utility – and the new fourth-generation Honda CR-V. This brings the number of five-star vehicles listed on the ANCAP website to almost 200.

Handcrafted in England, the Aston Martin One-77 coupe took centre stage at this year’s Sydney motor show. Sources suggest the initial price tag was approximately $1.85 million but with taxes and duties, the total amount comes to around $2.7 million, making it the most expensive new car in Australia.

The owner is said to be a cashed-up car enthusiast from Queensland. The One-77 is one of just 77 examples of the car built worldwide.

WHEN TO CALL IN AN

ARCHITECT PREVIEW If you have clear expectations and ask the right questions, hiring an architect for your building project could be the smartest thing you ever do.

I

t’s often a sizeable investment when building or renovating, but an architect’s knowledge and experience can be worth its weight in gold.

As well as offering design expertise, architects can add value in lots of other ways. They have technical knowledge, can help you negotiate the building regulations, and the shared wall and planning process.

They can manage the project from start to finish, if you want them to, including finding and managing the builder, subcontractors and consultants.

As they work with these people regularly on a variety of projects, they may be able to get better prices than you can. They can help financially in other ways, too, such as devising the best design for your budget, improving

energy efficiency and increasing your home’s saleability and value.

When you’ve found some suitable candidates, find out if they’re interested in your project and what sorts of ideas and relevant experience they have. If you can see similar projects they’ve done, this will obviously give you a good idea of what to expect.

Bear in mind that it’s really important to have a good relationship with your architect, as how you get along and work together can play a big part in the success, or not, of the project.

Once you’ve chosen an architect, drawing up a contract and giving him or her a clear brief is vital.

Another important thing to establish is how you’ll be

paying. Many architects take a percentage of the total cost of the project, but some charge for the time they spend on it, while others charge a flat fee.

This is how the UK’s Architect Your Home works.

Set up in 2001 by architects Hugo and Jude Tugman, it makes architectural services more transparent and accessible to home owners because the clients pay only for what they need (by the hour or per service), as and when they need it.

The process starts with a four- or seven-hour home visit, during which the architect measures up, discusses the project with the client, and comes up with some solutions (and drawings).The client then discusses the ideas and any concerns with the architect, and refines everything then and there.

If the clients decide not to go ahead, they don’t have to, or if they want to continue, they can choose from a menu of services, some of which they may be able to do themselves; others they won’t.

“People don’t necessarily want an architect to do everything – they are perfectly capable of doing some of it themselves, they just need some help,” says Hugo Tugman.

He admits that home owners can be daunted at the prospect of using an architect, but shouldn’t be.

“Yes, we can help people to avoid getting their fingers burnt with cowboy builders and yes, we can help with statutory consents, but the main reason to use an architect is to make sure that you’re not spending your money unwisely,” he says.

“People are spending a lot of money and we want to make sure that they get the best possible result.

“We have a lot of instances where people say that they wish they’d used an architect. I saw a couple who had a two-bedroom house and a second child on the way. They didn’t want to move, but really needed a third bedroom and couldn’t think of a way of getting one. I was able to come up with three solutions to give them a third bedroom.

“That’s the kind of thing we get a lot – ‘I never thought of that’.”

WHAT’S THE VALUE? Archicentre provides design services, advice and inspection services to Australian home buyers, renovators and property investors.

Archicentre lists a few reasons why home owners and renovators should use an architect to help them achieve the home they are after. Firstly, architects have the qualifications, training and experience to manage the entire process from design to construction. Architects also help clients create the perfect design for them.

Homes and renovations created by architects also carry the kudos of professionalism in the market – a big selling point when a home is listed for sale.

Architects are great problem solvers – creating homes that use the space in the most efficient way and perform well for the people living in them.

Architects can also help create a home that is more energy efficient as well as looking more stylish.

Homes created by architects also carry the kudos of professionalism

What will it cost?

According to Archicentre there are four stages of working with an accredited architect: 1. First up, the architect will work out a schematic design, answering questions such as, can we build up? Where is pedestrian access going to go, and what about the driveway?

2. The architect will then develop a design, talking the client through the range of building materials available. The architect will help work out the cost and advice on the merits of certain materials over others.

3. Only then will the architect put pencil to paper and create drawings and instructions so the building will meet the expectations of clients.

4. Finally, the architect will recommend a builder, which is usually someone he or she has worked with well in the past.

According to Archicentre, the advisory arm of the Australian Institute of Architects, when setting a fee, an architect will work closely with a client to come to a figure that meets the client’s needs and the level of service needed for the project.

Archicentre advises home owners to ask this to happen as soon as possible, so that everyone has a clear idea of the needs of the project. Some architects charge an hourly rate, others a flat fee which is agreed on before work starts, and others will charge a percentage of the building costs.

ARIES Mar 21-Apr 20 This weekend’s stars suit all types of mental activity, but avoid getting drawn into power plays at work.

You’re feeling restless so do something physical to blow off all that steam.

TAURUS Apr 21-May 21 Don’t get stuck in the past.

Strive to see an old problem in a fresh way.

By blending the conventional and the unorthodox, you can create your preferred future.

GEMINI May 22-Jun 21 Your Gemini gift of the gab is in full flight, as Jupiter jump-starts your verbal talents. If you are involved in group activities, others will look to you for innovative ideas.

CANCER Jun 22-Jul 23 Expect an emotional roller-coaster this weekend. Pace yourself, crabs – and avoid making important decisions until you are feeling more settled.

LEO Jul 24-Aug 23 When it comes to close relationships – especially with children and friends – it’s time to take the initiative. Procrastination is definitely out and firm decision-making is in.

VIRGO Aug 24-Sep 23 This weekend the focus is on getting the balance right between work and domestic duties. It’s a tough juggling act but, with energy and enthusiasm, you can do it.

LIBRA Sep 24-Oct 23 Laidback Librans, you’ll be given the chance to put a belief into action. Don’t waste the opportunity. If you are studying or travelling, you’ll have a stimulating weekend.

SCORPIO Oct 24-Nov 22 Are other people being stubborn and intolerant?

Hang on, Scorpio – is that the perfect description of you? This weekend, strive to be a less controlling and a lot more flexible.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23-Dec 21 Attached archers, be careful that you and your partner don’t start heading off in separate directions. Singles, look for love with a gregarious Gemini or a fellow Sagittarian.

CAPRICORN Dec 22-Jan 20 Expect the unexpected at home this weekend, as visitors come and go – or a family member hits you with a surprise decision. It’s time for Capricorns to keep calm and carry on.

AQUARIUS Jan 21-Feb 19 You’ll be at your unpredictable best – and worst – as the moon links up with Uranus. Boredom is a big no-no, so immerse yourself in activities that keep your mind and body busy.

PISCES Feb 20-Mar 20 Lack of focus, direction and discrimination will slow you down this weekend. Fish are trusting folk, but don’t let someone lead you down the primrose path to Piscean trouble.

SURF REPORT with Steve Harris from Suburban Surf

Well it’s finally looking good for waves this Thursday and Friday. On Thursday a new SE groundswell will be easing but still with around four-foot waves on the open beaches. Winds should be light SW early tending SE. On Friday the swell drops a little more but should still have around two to three-foot of swell on the open beaches with NW winds early tending N/NE later.

Unfortunately for Saturday swell size will be around only two-foot on the open beaches dropping off further during the day. Winds N/NW will swing fresh N/NE. Sunday there will be only tiny waves with onshore E/SE winds. With high tide early morning, find a high-tide bank on the open beaches and enjoy some well overdue swell.

Good surfing.

FISHING REPORT with Wayne Nilsson from Maroochydore Fishing World

ESTUARY: Expect to catch whiting to 500 grams along Picnic Point and along Cotton Tree using yabbies and small poppers. There are plenty of flathead working over the goal posts at Bli Bli with plastics returning better quality.

SURF: Chopper tailor at dusk are along North Shore using pilchards. Expect jew on the night tides at Pincushion, but sharks are a problem.

Bream are working the same gutters using pippies and prawns.

OFFSHORE: Barwon Banks is firing for red throat emperor, parrot and squire. Heavy berleying works well. Small black marlin are feeding on bait schools due east of Mooloolaba on the 50-metre line.

FRESHWATER: Bass are along the weed line at Lake Baroon on medium divers. Platypus in numbers are proving a spectacle. Somerset Dam is lousy with red claw – dog biscuits and rockmelon are the best baits. Try spinner baits trolled around the sticks for golden perch and bass.
