Pillow Talk’s got the lot By TANIA PHILLIPS PILLOW Talk is coming to Albury and the wait is almost over, with the new store opening at 3/469 Olive Street this Saturday. There will be an outside broadcast by the local radio station as well as a sausage sizzle and a chance to see what the new store is all about. Pillow Talk project manager Ben McCowan said it was also a chance to meet the local staff including manager Helen Drummond, assistant manager Jo Cook and the more than 15 other casual sales assistants that have been employed at the brand-new store. Pillow Talk has been serving Australians for more than 35 years and is 100 per cent Australian owned and operated. It is the end of a journey for Ben McCowan who, with his team, has been busy preparing the new store for the past few months. He said the opening of the shop followed the establishment of stores in Shepparton and Wagga Wagga late last year. Pillow Talk likes to establish three stores in any catchment area, giving even better service to an area. Ben said providing good service to regional areas like the growth corridor of regional NSW was one of Pillow Talk’s main aims, as well as bringing more jobs into the local area. Pillow Talk’s managing director, Heath Goddard, grew up on a cattle station and knows only too well how country towns can be forgotten when it comes to ‘big business’. This is why Pillow Talk brings

their one-stop shop to Albury. Pillow Talk has style, quality, comfort and most of all they have value. Pillow Talk’s staff members are trained in how best to help you, the customer, in making your house a home with beautiful textures, colours and co-ordinating fashion. Pillow Talk’s new store in Albury will offer a wide range of pillows, quilts and quilt covers, cushions, towels and decorator items all under the one roof - and is opening just in time to showcase the new Autumn looks. Pillow Talk is one of the largest bedroom, bathroom and living specialists in the country Pillow Talk’s team of buyers work closely with their suppliers to ensure they have a range that is both fashionable and practical but also affordable. With a strong focus on colour, fabrication and design, they can bring customers the best of cutting edge fashion for their home. The large store format allows Pillow Talk to showcase the widest range of sheets, sheet sets, quilt covers, bathroom ranges, quilts, blankets, mattress covers, table linens, cushions and decorator ranges, coverlets and candles. To give you an idea of the breadth of range, there are on average over 300 different cushion designs across a myriad of colours and textures, more than 80 different pillows, 600-700 quilt cover designs, a huge range of home decorating accessories, sheets in all varying qualities and thread counts and all at value price points. There is something for everyone at Pillow Talk.

5500 just say no By GARRY HOWE ALBURY Council is being dragged back into the debate over protests outside the Englehardt Street abortion clinic. A petition with 5500 signatures was tabled at Monday night’s meeting calling on council to alter its by-laws to enable the creation of an exclusion zone around the clinic. Dr Pieter Mourik and his supporters hope that move would prevent protesters from approaching people entering the facility and force them over the other side of the street. The protesters have had a presence

at the site for 14 years and have more recently been accused of obstructive and abusive behavior towards clients. On the eve of the council meeting, the group behind the protests, calling themselves the Helpers of Gods’ Precious Infants, wrote to council asking that it “uphold the right of local citizens to lawfully protest” at the clinic. Last month, Albury Council tried to distance itself from the issue. At the time, Mayor Kevin Mack said the State Government was in a better position to legislate for exclusion zones. “This is not a debate about personal opinions or beliefs, it is a matter of law

and in this circumstance the State Government is the most suitable authority for implementing and enforcing legislation,” he said. Dr Mourik said he had been advised the action was well within the powers of local government. He and his supporters chose not to attend Monday night’s meeting and the petition was lodged by Cr David Thurley on their behalf. A council spokesperson said that, under normal protocol, once tabled and noted a petition was referred to the general manager for review and appropriate action and that the next steps would be determined over the coming weeks.

1126531-CB13-14

In its letter to council, the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants said they had been present at the clinic for the past 14 years “with the aim of praying for and respectfully offering assistance to clients of the clinic”. The group rejected claims that it obstructed, abused and intimidated clients as they entered the clinic. “It is our belief that any surveillance of our activities by either police, council employees or the clinic’s own CCTV cameras provides ample evidence of our lawful behavior,” the letter said. The group also questioned frequent claims that the majority of Albury resi-

dents were opposed to their presence. “We feel that for many of our most vocal opponents, regardless of our lawful and peaceful conduct and the assistance we provide those families who accept it, our very presence at the clinic is objectionable to them,” the letter said. “It would appear that in agitating for out exclusion from the area, they continue to falsely accuse us with the belief that the end justifies the means.” The Helpers said they were confident that council would maintain their right to peaceful protest outside the clinic.

Archibalds open in Albury By TANIA PHILLIPS ONE of Australia’s best-known and most iconic art awards, the Archibald Prize has gone on display at the LibraryMuseum. It is the first time since 2011 that entries in the prestigious award have been displayed in the town and Albury City mayor Kevin Mack said it was an opportunity not to be missed by art lovers and the city’s strong arts community. “This is Australia’s most prestigious arts exhibition and we’re thrilled to be hosting it again in Albury,” Cr Mack said. “The Archibald is renowned for the level of talent and creativity it attracts every year.” “It is a significant exhibition (for the region), we only get to host the Archibald’s every three years. “We’ll be offering guided tours and workshops throughout the exhibition. We’ll also be offering free entry at designated times throughout the week, making it accessible for everyone in the region.” He said the area had a lot of talented young artists and he hoped that the exhibition would prove inspiring to them and who knows, there could be a future Archibald prize winner from the region. Cr Mack said that one of the strengths of the prize was that it did tour throughout regional NSW and Australia. The Archibald Prize has celebrated Australian portraiture since 1921. Each year it attracts hundreds of entries and features prominent identities from all walks of Australian life. The Archibald Prize only tours selected regional cities on a rotating three-year schedule. 2014 will be the first time Albury has hosted the Archibald Prize since 2011. The exhibition will include Del Kathryn Barton’s winning entry Hugo and Vincent Fantauzzo’s people’s choice award Love face featuring actress Asher Keddie - (which Cr Mack singled out as his favourite). All 39 shortlisted entries will be on display at the LibraryMuseum throughout the exhibition. “We only host the Archibald Prize every three years so it’s a great opportunity for residents to

We’ll completely transform the space and it will be perfect for the exhibition,” Cr Mack added. Since its inception in 1921, the Archibald Prize has continued to be one of Australia’s most prestigious art awards and never fails to draw interest, attention and debate. Awarded to the best portrait painting, the Archibald Prize is a who’s who of Australian culture - from politicians to celebrities, sporting heroes to artists.

Butt out for kids WODONGA Council has welcomed new smoking bans at public places frequented by children. From 1 April, the Victorian smoking bans will prohibit smoking within 10 metres - about two car lengths - of children’s playgrounds, skate parks, junior sporting events and within public outdoor pool complexes. Wodonga mayor Cr Rodney Wangman said the bans would help protect our children while encouraging smokers to quit and help former smokers from relapsing. “We know there is no safe level of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke and it is important to protect our young people from this danger,” he said. “The bans are there to protect them, and to protect everyone from unwanted secondhand smoke.” The aim of the bans is to create a smoke-free environment for children and young people to play without being exposed

to second-hand tobacco smoke. The 10-metre ban applies to an area from any play equipment at playgrounds and from the edge of a skate park. It includes dining areas and car parks within the zone. In regard to sporting events, the ban applies to the area within 10 metres of an outdoor sporting venue for training and practice sessions, and at breaks and intervals during the course of a sporting event involving those under 18. Cr Wangman said examples of local sporting events where the bans would apply included Little Athletics meetings, junior football matches and school sporting events.

It does not include matches where the majority of players are over 18. “For instance, during our local football match days when the under-18 teams are playing, smoking will be banned within 10 metres of the venue,” he said. “We expect most people will comply with the bans and that the community will be self-regulating in ensuring people are aware of the bans.” Council inspectors, under the Tobacco Act 1987, will provide information about the bans as well as issue fines. The infringement penalty is presently $144. The council has sent out information to local sporting clubs and venues and posters and flyers are available for download. More than 100 signs will be erected around the city at the smoke-free zones informing the community of the bans. A more comprehensive list of the reforms and their application is available on the council’s website at wodonga.vic.gov.au

Milk made AN Albury-based company is set to take part in a NSW Government initiative aimed at showcasing the state’s food production in one of Singapore’s leading supermarket chains. Member for Albury, Greg Aplin congratulated The Riverina Dairy for being chosen to take part in the initiative. The Riverina Dairy, a food company from Albury that produces milk, fresh cheese and yoghurt products, is among eight NSW food producers participating in a NSW-focused in-store promotion at Cold Storage, a major supermarket chain with more than 55 stores across Singapore. “The Riverina Dairy joins a list of food producers from across the state that will market a vast range of quality products such as fruits and vegetables, dairy, chocolate, breads, and cakes,” Mr Aplin said. “The initiative will take place from 8-11 April and will allow the participating NSW food companies direct access to consumers through a significant supermarket chain in a major overseas market. “South East Asia has a large, fast-growing consumer market which represents a strong opportunity for NSW growers and producers to win new export business. “The promotion will provide a great opportunity for The Riverina Dairy to display their products and potentially gain shelf space in Cold Storage supermarkets on a permanent basis. “Singapore is an excellent target market for NSW food companies, with well established distribution channels and transport infrastructure. “It is also English speaking and imports about 90 per cent of its food requirements. “It was a pleasure to meet the CEO of The Riverina Dairy, Mark Heintz, at a special product preview at parliament today and I congratulate his company for taking part in this government initiative to market our high quality food internationally.”

Joel’s best in the land By TANIA PHILLIPS

LANDSCAPE Design student Joel Kellett took out the Apprentice of the Year title at the Wodonga TAFE’s Celebration of Achievement Awards at The Cube late last week. The TAFE celebrated the outstanding achievements of more than 50 students who were accompanied by friends and family, as well as more than 60 representatives from local industry and government at the event. Joel has been a keen student all through his apprenticeship, taking an interest in plants as well as the structural components of his course. The other major student awards went to Jahren Kennedy and Suzanne Grant. Jahren, who has dreams of joining the army, took out the Eddie Kneebone Scholarship for his commitment to his transport and logistics studies.

Suzanne Grant, passionate about cultural heritage tourism, has taken out the vocational student of the year trophy. During the past year she has worked closely with Indigo Shire to develop plans for a new tourism venture at Chiltern, spending hours above and beyond course requirements on the project. Teacher of the Year went to Jenny Stewart while Specialist Staff Member of the Year was shared by Graphic Design teacher Andrea Frost and fellow teacher Anne-Marie Beer. Wodonga Institute of TAFE’s Chief Executive Officer, Michael O’Loughlin s was impressed with the achievements of the students and teachers. “The evening is about recognising student success through learning and celebrating their achievements,” he said. “But, it is also about recognis-

ing invaluable staff contributions. All award winners have exceeded expectations and have acted as positive role models for their fellow students and colleagues. “We acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our students and staff, but it is also a time to thank local employers and industry. The strong links with them create successful opportunities for many of our students and help enable continued growth and success at Wodonga TAFE.” The key speaker for the evening was Wodonga TAFE board member, retired Major-General Roger Powell, a Member of the Order of Australia who has a Master of Science, Bachelor of Arts, Graduate Diploma of Strategic Studies, Graduate Diploma with the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and Fellowship of the Australian College of Defence and Strategic Studies.

Brain power ALBURY will get a new Brain Health Centre. MP Greg Aplin said $3 million would be provided over two years to purchase and develop the new centre, which will be a first for the New South Wales Government and regional NSW. “The Brain Health Centre will bring together current services providing assistance to residents dealing with mental illness, either personally or as carers,” Mr Aplin said. “It will provide the opportunity to bring together government and non-government providers under the one roof, thereby improving service and convenience for the client. “Community concern resulted in Albury having the highest public participation of all the suicide prevention forums held by the State Government in 2012 and this interest and demand assisted in securing the funding commitment. “The centre will provide treatment on brain health issues, ranging from depression, anxiety and eating disorders to Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia.” Mr Aplin said the concept of a Brain Health Centre had grown from local involvement with clients and providers on both sides of the border over several years. “Health professionals in our area have welcomed the concept and will now be involved in its development.”

THE Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund will next week introduce its patron, four-time Olympian, Australian Opals captain and basketball superstar, Lauren Jackson, as it launches a campaign to raise money to support the region’s cancer services. Trust fund chairwoman, Di Thomas, said the launch on Monday, 31 March, would see the unveiling of the trust fund prospectus and website, as well as a call to “raise the banners” for the initial fund-raising target of $2 million. “The Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre will house the most modern cancer treatment facilities of the day when it is completed in the second half of 2015,” Ms Thomas said. “The centre will unite cancer services under one roof, offering a facility with the capacity to diagnose, treat and research all forms of cancer as well as educating the community and

supporting cancer patients and their families. “While government funding will build a state-of-the-art cancer treatment facility, fitted out with brand-new equipment and staffed by expert personnel, we need to keep it operating at the highest level. “That is where the trust fund comes in.” Ms Thomas said the major focus of the fund was to raise money to support cancer services in the Albury-Wodonga region including the purchase of specialised equipment, treatment support, research and professional development for medical personnel at the new centre. “Since the announcement that the cancer centre would be built, we have continued to receive donations from all sectors of the community supporting the establishment of a designated wellness centre, the purchase of specialised technology and research,” she said. “I am humbled by the gener-

osity of our community whenever there is a call for assistance and I know support groups, service clubs, community groups, the corporate sector and individuals will all help us to meet our fund-raising target, recognising the importance of having our cancer centre operate at its optimum.” Ms Thomas said she was delighted to welcome Lauren Jackson as the fund’s patron. “No-one can be in any doubt as to the commitment Lauren has to our region; she knows this is one of the best parts of Australia in which to live and our quality of life is enhanced by the provision of the best available medical services,” she said. “I know Lauren’s involvement with the fund will give it the necessary profile for success and ensure many more cancer patients can remain within our community and close to the support of family and friends when they need them the most.”

New lane eases the pain PEAK-HOUR traffic may ease with the completion last week of a new dual turning lane at the intersection of Young Street and Borella Road. The central lane of the intersection is now shared, allowing motorists to either turn right into Borella Road or continue driving straight down Young Street. The additional turning lane is expected to ease congestion around the Albury intersection,

which experiences delays at peak times. AlburyCity’s engineering and works committee chair Cr Ross Jackson welcomed the completion of the project. “At peak times the traffic attempting to turn right into Borella Road forms a queue long enough to delay traffic on Young Street,” he said. “The congestion causes delays and headaches for motorists.

“An additional turning lane will ease that congestion and improve traffic flow at peak times. “We’re urging motorists to drive safely and be aware of other road users while everyone adjusts to the new traffic conditions.” A variable message board will remain at the intersection, advising motorists of the changes.

Time to duck in to this one IT’S the excited chatter of smitten guests that has people making tracks through the stunning Victorian High Country ... The historic and iconic Blue Duck Inn Hotel is not the sort of place you just happen to ‘come by’. Situated at the confluence of three great trout rivers - the Cobungra, Bundarra and Mitta Mitta - its location, Anglers Rest, is a dead give-away to the peace and serenity you can expect from this enchanting little pub. Word of not only the amazing location, but high quality, home-made food and charming cabins has travelled the world, attracting families, honeymooners, motorcycle enthusiasts, bushwalkers, whitewater rafters, horse riders, bird watchers, fishermen and skiers alike. “It might be famous, but we still have horses tied up out the front,” owner, Lana Antony said. “It’s a very unique environment we don’t have mains power, we don’t have mobile phones and we run on generators. “We still run the hotel as it was run 100 years ago.” The original 1900 building was a slab construction cut from local timber, which operated as a butcher’s shop offering fresh meat to miners. Billy O’Connell, a successful miner, bought the building and obtained a hotel licence in 1912, but ended up nailing a panning dish to the front of the hotel and wrote with irony, ‘Blue Duck.’ (If a gold lease produces no

gold, it’s known as a blue duck.) In the early ’20s, Billy O’Connell transported two houses from Omeo room by room - through the bush on horse drays. One is the main building of the Blue Duck, the other was used as a residence on the cabin site. Lana Antony and Michael Mullins bought the Blue Duck in 2008 and fell in love with its to-die-for location and amazing history, much of which is dis-

played in the building today. “The building has weathered three fires and about four floods,” Lana said. “We still have the records from the early days where people come in and have written in it. “The first buildings brought out here are still exactly the same buildings. They’ve been joined together now

and a bar has been built, but we’ve followed along the lines of keeping it looking pretty original and not making much change. In keeping with the theme, the Blue Duck a la carte menu is composed of locally sourced ingredients and food made on-site, with the 400g prime scotch fillet the main attraction - perfect to follow with crusty garlic bread and home-made bread and butter pudding.

Finally, when you come for a meal and can’t tear yourself away from the place, pull up for a night or three in one of the six two-bedroom cabins. All beautifully appointed, it’s your choice as to whether you’re after rustic, raw timber or something with a more modern feel. Visit The Blue Duck Inn, Omeo Highway, Anglers Rest, 03 5159 7220.

Free bereavement service now available through service NSW SERVICE NSW is delivering on the NSW Government’s commitment to improve customer service and will make doing business with government simpler and easier. Service NSW has established a 24/7 phone service (13 77 88) and a customer friendly online service www.service. nsw.gov.au to allow customers to complete transactions and access information at times that suit them. In other news a free bereavement service is now being trialled for NSW residents. It operates between 9:00am and 5:00pm Monday to Friday and can be accessed by calling 13 77 88.

I get frustrated: when I get behind in my home duties. My ideal holiday destination: Islands & going to countries where I can learn their culture & share Australian culture.

The bereavement team can help by providing a checklist of NSW Government agencies to notify, information on how to organise a funeral and referrals to other service providers if required. The service is designed to help simplify the process and in doing so, hopefully help to minimise the distress for partners, relatives or friends.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population are currently smokers, more than twice the prevalence among the Australian population as a whole. It has been estimated that if all tobaccorelated deaths among Indigenous Australians

could be eliminated, then life expectancy would increase by 2.5 years for males and 1.7 years for females. C o n t a c t Mungabareena Aboriginal Corporation for further information and support on (02) 6024 7599.

An image of the future JOSEPHINE BiedenwegWebster is an 18-year-old Wiradjuri woman who lives on a farm in Rand about 1 hours travel time from Albury. Josephine has recently completed her Higher School Certicate (HSC) and has followed this up with extensive physical and mental training to successfully enrol with the Australian Defence Force as a Cargo Specialist trainee for one year. Following this Josephine

plans to study health science at Wollongong University with her eyes set on becoming a dietician. Throughout Josephine’s senior years at school she was involved in the Aboriginal Education program that assisted Indigenous students with tutoring and she became a ‘go to’ person when needed. The kids in the program look up to the seniors as role models and are treated as family. Josephine’s grandmother, Wiradjuri Elder Nancy Rooke,

continues to teach her and her sisters much about Wiradjuri culture and it is this knowledge that gives her pride to be part of the community and involved in her culture. Josephine says that “she wants to be able to continue helping the school kids out and acknowledge and support them with our cultures the same way I was. I can't thank my family, friends and Murray High School enough for helping me be the person I am today.”

Dean Bourne has been described as having “The Spirit Of Roy Orbison” within him as he performs Roy Orbison’s iconic hits including Pretty Woman, Crying, Dream Baby, Leah, Penny Arcade, Danny Boy, Only The Lonely, In Dreams, Candy Man, You Got It, Workin’ For The Man, Running Scared and many, many more. Fallon is a highly-regarded quality performer with a huge voice. With a successful career performing in all major venues in Australia including international performances in the likes of Vienna’s Hofburg Palace, The Rome Hilton and our own Sydney Opera House, the dynamic

Box office

Fallon continues to mesmerise audiences all over the country. Come and hear the magical hits of Del Shannon, such as Hats off to Larry, Handyman, Swiss Maid, Black is Black, Little Town Flirt, Keep Searching (follow the sun), I Go To Pieces, Needles and Pins, Hey Little Girl, Stranger in Town, So Long Baby, Runaround Sue, Walk Away, Runaway, Do You Wanna Dance and much much more. Del Shannon was one of the handful of American rock ‘n’ rollers of the 1960s to survive the crashing tide of the British invasion - among the few were Elvis, Dion, Roy Orbison and Del Shannon. One of the best and most original rockers and pioneers of the early ’60s, Del Shannon was also one of the least typical - his 1961 smash hit Runaway continues to have an immortal influence on popular music today. Roy Orbison and Del Shannon had a very strong admiration and respect for each other which culminated in a UK Tour in 1964, giving their audiences what they wanted to hear - all their massive hits together on one unforgettable night of rock and roll. Who: Roy Orbison and Del Shannon Together Where: Albury Entertainment Centre When: Saturday 29 March

Dean Bourne as the Big O and will play all of Roy Orbison’s hits.

(M) NOW SHOWING: Thu 27.03.14 to Wed 02.04.14

When the hoon takes your eye, like a fast-driving guy FOR those with an interest in converting hydrocarbons into questionable driving behaviour, here is the film for you. Need for Speed may be a soulless video game of a film but it’s reasonably well done for all that. Interestingly, its makers have denied the whole computer-generated trend in racing movies and gone totally old school - all you’ll see here is real, flying, crashing, bending, smashing, crumpled metal. And plenty of it. Aaron Paul - yes, Jesse

Pinkman of Breaking Bad fame - takes the lead role as Toby Marshall, a petrolhead ne’erdo-well with a heart of gold, mechanical genius - you know the score. And so Marshall has to win the race, get the girl, vanquish the villain - you know the rest. The film never strays one inch from the formula. Imogen Poot capably provides the right-seat eye candy, and not much else. Aaron Paul is decidedly emotionally beefed up,

playing a more macho role than previously. But the makers rightly leave the steel at centre stage - notably a very pretty modern Mustang and some less aesthetically pleasing, if somewhat faster, Koenigseggs. But like all modern driving films, it fails to capture the magic of the first edition of The Fast and the Furious. Set your brain in neutral, sit back and enjoy the squealing symphony of near-collision. - Jason Beck

WITH GEOFF HABERECHT OF TRU HIFI

END OF MODEL OR SHOW ROOM STOCK CLEARANCE

Tech marches on IN MY previous article, I focused on how the market for home entertainment audio at the mid to top end is evolving from a theatre first to become the main hifi music system. This change has isolated the multi-room music systems away from the traditional highgrade theatre receiver, allowing the companies to focus better on audio performances. With a number of wellpriced wireless multi-room systems available, this is now a stand-alone category to help clarify this. High-quality receivers have fewer features, and the use of products such as Apple TV to provide the current connectivity has been encouraged. Technology is always evolving and this box is a replaceable item when the next latest feature hits the homes. Keeping the amplification system as simple as you can (which also makes the unit easier to use), will ensure the product is relevant longer. The budget market has a different role to play; many of these products are rotated more frequently and have as much to do with the fashion of the day. Many of the latest technologies will be incorporated in these systems. Music standards are set

Project 3.1 Turntable with Ortophon red cartridge ($149 Value) Was $499 NOW $399 lower as the use of highly compressed music sources such as iTunes does not place the same requirement for highly engineered speakers or high quality amplification. This segment is still the most popular, and as time progresses the improved Bluetooth and Airplay products have made this segment more dynamic and affordable. The biggest benefit in this sector is the advent of budgetpriced Bluetooth products which have allowed for countless wireless products to enter the market to make best use of mp3 audio files and better audio management systems via apps

on your phone or tablet. It removes the need for a home cinema receiver to try and double up as a multi-room music distribution centre. With the advent of sound bars and television audio boxes the entry level products can join in on the action, with connectivity via the television. Using Apple TV or Android media boxes means with a minimum of investment the budget television is as connected as the better built television. The important piece of advice is to ensure you have a wifi system as good as you can afford, to get the best out of today’s technology.

Albury Wodonga

Shine and substance By DEREK OGDEN FRONTAL chrome is to the automotive market what white teeth are to the entertainment industry, a sign of quality and style, although both can be irritating if overdone. THE new Nissan Altima is a case in point. A swathe of shiny metal up front would not look out of place on a fifties Yank tank but in the 21st century we search for something a little more subtle. Wide horizontal chrome slats dominate the radiator intake, a large Nissan badge announcing the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival. Further chrome embellishments include door handles and side window surrounds. To be fair, the new mid-size sedan is smack bang up to date with its coupe-style aerodynamic profile - giving a co-efficient of friction of 0.30 - and, in the case of our test vehicle, 18inch twin-spoke alloy wheels. LED tail lights put their modern-day stamp on the vehicle. The Nissan Altima is available in four model grades - ST, ST-L and Ti, powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine

Model range Altima ST 2.5-litre petrol fourdoor sedan: $29,990 ($33,513 estimated drive away); Altima ST-L 2.5-litre petrol four-door sedan: $35,890 ($39,667 estimated drive away); Altima Ti 2.5-litre petrol four-door sedan: $40,190 ($44,025 estimated drive away); Altima Ti-S 3.6-litre petrol four-door sedan: $45,390 ($50,784 estimated drive away).

Nissan Altima performs as smoothly as its looks imply. and the range-topping Ti-S with a 3.5-litre V6 under the bonnet. The car carries a number of state-of-the-art technologies including active understeer control which incorporates intelligent control and instantresponse braking on the inside front wheel during cornering, bringing vehicle dynamic and traction control into action, hence eliminating understeer. Steering draws on an elec-

tronic hydraulic power-assisted system that feeds a smooth feel back to the driver, while producing fuel economy by using electric power rather than drawing it from the engine. Safety systems we have come to expect in expensive premium models are included in the Ti and Ti-S Altimas, with blind spot warning, lane departure warning and moving object detection topping the list.

Using a new NASA inspired seat shape that provides continuous support from the pelvis to the chest, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;zero-gravityâ&#x20AC;? inspired front seats help reduce muscular and spinal loads and improve blood flow, thereby helping reduce fatigue. Seat surface perforations provide increased ventilation, breathability and comfort. They do the job. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room for occupants

to spread out all around and the nearly 500 litres of boot space swallows even the most bulky items. Satellite navigation and rear view camera make use of a colour seven-inch display screen, parking sensors protect front and rear, a premium Bose audio system has nine speakers and Bluetooth audio streaming and NissanConnect smartphone are integrated.

The Ti steps up with Nissanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Intelligent Technology Suite, mentioned above, around View Monitor, Xenon headlights with auto levelling, driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat with two memory settings, door mirrors with memory function, automatic day/night rear vision mirror, power rear sunshade and rear privacy glass. However, saving the best until last, the Altima Ti-S scores a responsive, smooth-running 3.5-litre V6 engine. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gem and is coupled with a first-rate continuously variable transmission. Nissan puts fuel (91RON) consumption at 9.3 litres per 100km on the combined urban / highway cycle with a carbon dioxide output of 216g per kilometre. On test, the Ti-S came up with 13.6 litres per 100 kilometres around town and 6.3 on a motorway run. The CVT auto has a fuel efficiency mode (Eco) which can be can selected by the driver, while those who want greater responsiveness can choose sport mode. The V6-powered Ti-Sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual (M) mode incorporates steering-wheel mounted paddle shifts.

Saving our youth MORE than 60,000 Year 11 students are the focus of a new campaign to save young lives on the roads. A revamped road safety workshop is being rolled out in schools to encourage teenage passengers to positively influence their friends, who are considering drink-driving, speeding or engaging in other dangerous behaviour. The Victorian Coalition Government has teamed up with F2D Foundation (Fit2Drive) and secondary schools to launch the workshop. As part of the program, students develop personal and school road safety plans. Roads Minister Terry Mulder said the workshop had Victoria at the forefront of road safety behavioural change at a secondary school level. “The dangers of irresponsible behaviour on the roads can be dire. Teenagers need skills and practical strategies to get themselves out of potentially dangerous situations.” The workshop includes group discussions, using scenarios to explore strategies to keep young people and their friends safe, role-plays to support the development of problem-solving skills, and the development of personal and school road safety plans. Education Minister Martin Dixon said the F2D workshop

targeted teenagers who were nearing the age of getting their licence. “Peer group pressure can influence the way young people behave in a vehicle, so I’m pleased that the F2D workshops are providing a stronger focus on passenger safety,” Mr Dixon said. Assistant Police Commissioner Robert Hill of the Road Policing Command and Patron of the F2D Foundation said the program would empower young people to challenge dangerous behaviours and understand the risks involved. “Young people continue to be over-represented in road trauma,” Mr Hill said. F2D Foundation Secretary Graham Spencer said the workshop was delivered by trained university students and included group discussions and using various scenarios to explore strategies to keep young people and their peers safe. The revamped F2D workshop, with involvement from police and the MFB is increasing its reach to approximately 500 secondary schools. Surveys completed by nearly 1000 students who trialled the program indicated the new road safety F2D workshop was well received. Around 70 per cent of students indicated they would use the strategies to avoid risky sit-

uations in the car as a passenger or driver all or most of the time. Students have said the following about the police and MFB involvement: “It makes you realise that it doesn’t have to be you driving to help make driving decisions.” “Because it makes you stop and think and it also gives you a wake-up call of what could go wrong if you aren’t careful.” “The program also gave an insight into the impact an accident can have on not only your family but the police and fire brigade that are called to accidents. It makes you look at the repercussions of your actions.” Mr Mulder said the Coalition Government together with road safety agencies had been successful in reducing the young driver casualty crashes by 20 per cent in recent years through measures such as the Graduated Licensing System (GLS), a ban on mobile phone use for all probationary drivers and a range of support programs like F2D. “This behaviour change workshop is an important part of assisting young passengers and drivers to stay safe on our roads. That’s why it’s important we get it into as many secondary schools as possible,” Mr Mulder said. More information can be found at www.F2D.com.au

Motorcycling together I LOVE motorcycling, its diversity and camaraderie. This Sunday just past I was privileged to participate in an event that brought a wide variety of bikes and riders together for a great cause. I am referring to a nationally organised ride event, the Black Dog Ride, “raising awearnes of depression and suicide prevention”. This event started in 2009 with one man’s ride around Australia to raise awareness about mental health following the tragic suicide of a close friend’s wife. It has grown into an annual event with thousands of riders participating and has raised over $1 million for mental health services and helped raise awareness about mental health issues and available help. And so it was early this cool

Sunday morning that a small group of riders from Albury and Wodonga set off down the highway to meet up with almost 200 other motorcyclists from around the district at Wangaratta airport. Following breakfast and an informative talk by a local Lifeline co-ordinator on the services they provide, we all set off on a well-run ride through the hills and beautiful riding country of the north-east of Victoria, culminating with a barbecue lunch on the foreshore of Lake Hume. While talking about how well the event was organised, I must make special mention about the efforts of the members of the Albury Wodonga Ulysses club who provided lead and tail riders and most importantly corner marshals for the event. Their efforts definitely

helped to make the day safe and enjoyable for all concerned. No easy feat when you have 200 motorcycles sharing the roads with other users. Considering the local club will be hosting next year’s annual general meeting which could attract up to 5000 participants I am sure it was great practice for them and from what I saw they will have no trouble running things smoothly and showcasing the beautiful region we live in and all that it has to offer for motorcyclists and nonmotorcyclists alike. All said and done a great event, a credit to all involved and an affirmation about the great people that make up the complex and thoroughly enjoyable world of motorcycling and the caring spirit that runs through all bike riders as we all look out for each other.

Minister for Roads Terry Mulder, Assistant Police Commissioner Robert Hill, and F2D Foundation secretary Graham Spencer.

sic or just talk without fear of interruption from the family. Burst through those doors and you are confronted with a massive kitchen meals family area which overlooks the the outdoor living area. Let’s deal with the kitchen which has a strategically located island bench that serves as a breakfast bar, is home to a double sink and a quality D’Amani dishwasher and also has power for boiling kettles etc. Simpson gas cooktop and electric oven provide the cooking needs. A mustard coloured wall blends in beautifully with the quality ceramic tiles which are laid throughout the somewhat spacious informal living areas. The main bedroom has a good sized ensuite and a walk-in robe as does it have carpet, timber venetians and drapes in line with the rest of the home. The remaining three bedrooms are generous in size and would easily accommodate two single beds quite comfortably - the hallmark of an auxiliary bedroom. The man bathroom has a lovely big spa plus a shower. A powder room allows multiple use at the one time especially in the morning as people are hurrying to get to their work or school. As mentioned, a lovely covered outdoor living area with stencilled paving makes for relaxing times for a large part of the year. As an added bonus there are two metal boxes into which one can put the barbecue implements or maybe shoes and boots used in the garden. A nice touch indeed! Close to the casual living area is a covered outdoor spa with appropriate fencing. The garden is relatively low maintenance with a watering system and a purpose-built workshop that has a power conduit inside but isn’t connected. Double gates at the side of the oversized double garage would allow the trailer or “tinny” be secured from the street. A lovely home in a great part of Wodonga’s Federation Park.

THE exterior of our feature home is commensurate with other homes in the immediate vicinity - very neat, modern and well kept. As one walks to the entry of the home down through the terraced garden, one gets the feeling there is a huge surprise in store. One of the pleasant surprises is that the lounge room is separate to the rest of the home hence mum and dad can retire quietly away from the hustle and bustle expected in a family home. Attractive timber double doors just inside the entry foyer give that independence that so often we look for to read listen to ones own style of mu-

Stopping fraud

Enzo Raimondo CEO Real Estate Institute of Victoria

Renovate wisely If you are contemplating renovations, it’s important to know your property’s current value and what it would be worth with that work completed. A good yardstick is the local median price, which can be checked at www. reiv.com.au. Within any area, the pool of buyers is only so large, and if your property is well above the median price - even if it is superior to many homes the same size - it may take longer to sell. Consult a real estate agent for an appraisal of your home and ask his or her advice about your plans - would they be a wise move, would you get that money back if you sold? If the answer is no, the time, stress and cost of renovating are best avoided.

that is not always so with improvements on our own homes. Of course if you plan to stay there for many years, spending money which may not be recouped in the short term is not such an issue. But we never know what the future will hold - unexpected events may require us to sell, so it is always wise to ensure your home is not overcapitalised. The median price of a home in regional Victoria reached a record high in the last three months of 2013, up six per cent on the same quarter in 2012. It was encouraging news, but REIV predicts a slowing in property prices later this year, so it is not the time for major renovations unless you can be sure they will boost the property’s value to cover their cost and hopefully, make a profit.

WE ALL want our homes to be comfortable and convenient - if not the home of our dreams, then at least one with the features we want and decorations to our taste. When the property market is strong, as in recent months, the temptation is to spend on improvements and renovations, assuming prices will continue to rise and money spent would be recouped if the property was sold. But, while it is always tempting to put in the latest bathroom or kitchen, it may not be the best option. Overcapitalising - spending money on a property which may not be recouped by an increase in its value - is a risk for both investors and owner occupiers. While most investors are wary about overspending and wise to avoid this trap,

GOOD agents across New South Wales are appalled at recent reports about the fraudulent actions of a dishonest few that have brought dishonour on the entire profession. The Real Estate Institute of New South Wales (REINSW) has approached the NSW Government with a raft of changes to the industry to limit future cases. REINSW Deputy President John Cunningham said there was no place in agency practice for this type of conduct. “The removal of individuals who have breached not only their legal obligations but their professional obligations is high on REINSW’s agenda,” Mr Cunningham said. “While we will never stamp out fraudulent conduct completely, our co-regulation model, working with government, will vastly improve the conduct of real estate agents and deliver on consumer expectations for the profession. “Our proposal, which has been put to Minister for Fair Trading Stuart Ayres, replicates how other professions work with their regulators. It is essential to pro-actively address issues before they become problems. “Our proposal will provide a level of accountability and professional oversight that follows the tried and tested approach that prevention is better than cure. “NSW Fair Trading, with its resources, is only able to become involved in the conduct of agents when they have transgressed. REINSW wants to become involved in conduct issues before they become a problem. “We also need to dramatically increase the education component required to enter the profession and commit to the continued development of real estate professionals after they have entered the industry. “No-one is more committed to cleaning up the industry than REINSW and we believe our solution is the way forward. It is time for the NSW Government to listen to our cries and implement our proposal. “We do not wish another repeat of the eight years it took of lobbying by REINSW for the introduction of professional indemnity insurance.”

Local Sport In the run to heart of fun By TANIA PHILLIPS WALKERS, runners and joggers from across the region headed out to Oddies Creek Park at the weekend for a fun run with heart. The Albury Wodonga Camp Quality Fun Run was not just a chance to have fun and stay fit in the fresh air, it was also a chance to raise money for kids living with cancer. According to organisers, who are still to tally the final fund-raising event, the run was a big success with more than 80 runners taking part. Organiser Adelle Kennedy said while they might have liked to have

had more runners, 80 was still a good crowd for a first-time event. She said a lot of competitors had commented about the quality of the tracks they were running on and it was hoped that the run would become an annual event. The event was open to runners and walker of all ages from under 12s to adults and included a 5km out to Gateway Island and a 10km event, starting from Oddies Creek Park and going towards Horseshoe Lagoon. There were prizes for race winners on the day as well as for best fund-raisers and senior and junior costumes - making for a fun and colourful event.

Allira Bagley-Wilson, Danielle Piergrosse, Claire Enever prepare for the run.

Greg Simpson fires the starting gun for the 5km event.

And they’re off and running. Runners start the 10km event.

Getting ready to go are Robbie and Jane Mackinlay.

Warming up are Kate Watson, Jess Saunders and Elyse Saunders.

Leisure centre upgrade

Max Neave prepares for action in the Camp Quality fun run.

Lucas Bladwell, Monica Cowen, Belinda Crothers, Josie Crothers and Melinda Thurling ready for action in the fun run.

THE Wodonga Sports and Leisure Centre is more family and disability friendly, following a $200,000 upgrade. The works by Wodonga Council include a $125,000 upgrade to the aquatic change facilities to include the development of change rooms for families and for people with a disability. Another $77,000 will be reinvested on the redevelopment of the health club facilities and comes after the replacement and updating of equipment. Council’s manager of community lifestyle Debbie MacKinlay said it had become apparent the existing facilities, which included only one shared family and disabled change room, had become inadequate. “These works come in response to the needs of the community and the users of the leisure centre,” she said. “The YMCA has experienced strong growth in membership and it is the aim of these works to make the centre more attractive and accessible for more members of the community.” The change room works will convert an aquatic storeroom for the new change room which will also provide facilities for the centre’s aquatic staff. Refurbishment works include replacing vanity units, fitting doors and privacy screens as well as tiling works. Ms MacKinley said the redevelopment of the health club aimed to make it more inclusive and inviting. “Our feedback from the YMCA and the users of the health club was that the equipment was outdated and that the area was looking tired,” she said. “To continue to provide a modern, attractive service for our community it was determined to rejuvenate the health club, making it a welcoming and accessible place for all users.” The works bring the council’s spend at the centre over the past five years to just more than $1 million. The works started in March and are expected to be completed by the end of next month.
