Patrick’s PC Pick-me ups is now in operation for Deniliquin’s residents and that is good news for those who need advice and/or more on computers.

Patrick’s offers free quotes and an no fix, no fee guarantee on all but the Virus Scan service making it a good place for people to enquire about their computing questions and repair advice/service.

There are four main kinds of PC services that Patrick’s offers, Elderly Tutoring, New Build, Diagnosis and Virus Scan.

Elderly Tutoring is for those elderly who want to learn how to use the computer and do all the things needed to stay in touch with people online, the cost for the service is $30 per hour.

New Build is suggesting items that are needed for a PC build so you the buyer get the right parts for what you need instead of getting an over or under powered PC and when you get the parts Patrick can install them for you, this service costs $80.

Diagnosis is when your computer is having troubles and you don’t know what can be the cause of it, Patrick will get to work on finding the problem in the space of 30 minutes to an hour at a cost of $50.

Virus Scan is when Patrick gives the computer a Virus and Malware Scan to ensure that your computer does not have Viruses, Malware or Bloatware, a Virus Scan costs $50.

Patrick can do a whole lot more PC services but the services do not extend to corporate and so if you want to find out more about the business and what it offers, head on over to the Facebook page, like the page and drop a line if you have any enquiries.

At around 9am tomorrow, Candidates for the Federal seat of Farrer will be stating their cases to be elected to Canberra live on ABC Riverina.

ABC Riverina will be broadcasting tomorrow from the Peppin Heritage Centre giving residents a chance to hear the candidates views on local issues and what they promise to do upon being elected.

This election has a seven person field for the seat that has been held by the Liberals or the Nationals for decades and it is considered one of the safest seats in the nation which is good news for current member Sussan Ley though nothing is a sure thing in politics.

Below is the list of candidates and links to either personal pages or political party pages for those who want to see what each party and/or their candidate has to offer if the voter chooses to vote for somebody instead of casting a donkey vote.

Ron Pike (Liberty Alliance)
Amanda Cohn (Greens)
Paul Rossetto (Christian Democratic Party)
Brian Mills (Independent)
Sussan Ley (Liberal)
Christian Kunde (Labor)*
Trevor O’Brien (Mature Australia)

*Christian Kunde quit as the ALP candidate today after reportedly defending a senior member of extremist Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir.

Currently there is the feeling around the country that the Liberals/Nationals and the ALP have let down the nation in recent years and so this election could be the election where the Greens, Independents, CDP, MA and ALA have the opportunity at least in Farrer to have a say in Canberra.

Tomorrow can be an important day in deciding who to vote for as the political hopefuls can either rise or falter in front of the flash of the camera and the metal/plastic of the microphone.

So if you are politically interested or just want to see a live radio broadcast as it unfolds, head on down to the Peppin Heritage Centre from 6:30am and see what happens throughout the morning.

ABC Riverina (675 AM) are coming to Deniliquin on Tuesday June 21 with Anne Delaney broadcasting from the Peppin Heritage Centre from 6:35am.

From 9am, candidates for the Federal seat of Farrer will be discussing the issues that are considered important to the area and there are plenty of issues they could discuss on the day from the Murray-Darling Basin Plan to Deniliquin needing more Nurses and better conditions for them, Jobs, Rail, Air services and much more.

Tune in throughout the morning or watch all the radio action from the Peppin Heritage Centre as it happens, readers can set themselves a reminder by visiting the event page and expressing interest.

Many thanks to Benjamin Shuhyta for posting the event on the DNS Facebook page.

Concerns have been growing about road safety in recent weeks with reports of people walking on the roads late at night and nearly being hit by motorists who are unable to see them due to the darkness and/or a lack of high visibility clothing.

Residents are urging walkers to not walk on the road and instead use footpaths as footpaths are made for walking on, if there are no footpaths on a walker’s route it is suggested that they walk along the nature strips to ensure their safety.

DNS wishes everyone safe travels whether it is by foot or by wheeled transport.
