Full flight mobile use introduced

Passengers travelling on Virgin and Qantas flights around Australia and internationally will not have to turn their mobile devices off during landing and take off. According to an article on ZDNet, this announcement comes after the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) put in place new procedures for airlines to allow passengers to keep their devices switched on - still in flight mode.

Qantas have released a statement saying the new changes will come into effect this afternoon.

"Qantas customers will be able to use their personal electronic devices such as smart phones, tablets and music players in flight mode, for the duration of each flight, providing uninterrupted access to work and entertainment," the statement said.

Qantas plans to lift restrictions on electronic devices across the entire Qantas Group for regional, domestic and international flights. QantasLink and Jetstar are in the final stages of preparing their submission to CASA for the extended use of personal electronic devices.

Qantas has released the following advice for customers:

• Devices can be used whether passengers are boarding via aerobridge or transiting across tarmac.
• Once aircraft doors are closed for departure, devices will need to be in ‘flight mode’.
• Customers are required to secure handheld devices by holding them or placing them in a seat pocket during taxi, take-off and landing. Larger items such as laptops will still need to be stowed.
• Customers are still required to listen to all inflight safety briefings and comply with cabin crew instructions.
• Mobile and smart phones will still not be able to be used to make calls or send texts from the air.

Get geared up for the Sunshine Festival parade!

Calling everyone with a sense of fun and community! The Geraldton Greenough Sunshine Festival organisers are urging everyone from individual walkers, clowns, skaters and bike riders to car clubs, sporting groups, businesses, community organisations and those with a motorised mobility scooter to sign up for this year’s Festival Float Parade sponsored by MMG.

MMG representative said “They are once again very pleased to support a long standing tradition in Geraldton to celebrate culture and diversity in the community.”

This year sees the TS Morrow Navy cadets celebrate 50th years and therefore take lead of the 2014 MMG Float Parade.

The Parade will start later in the day this year and follow the same route as past years. The parade is scheduled to commence at 2.30pm Saturday October 4 from the west end of Marine Tce (near the Midwest Ports Office), traveling along Lester Ave, Cathedral Avenue, turning right into Carson Terrace and right into Maitland Park. The 2014 Parade promises to once again be a highlight of this treasured community event.

Sunshine Festival Committee chairperson Julian Canny expects this year’s parade to be better than ever, with a new focus on individual participants as well as traditional float parade entries.

“The streets will come alive with music, dance, colour, laughter and all sorts of hilarious antics as people strut their stuff through the heart of Geraldton,” Julian said.

“We had many great float entries last year and this year we expect even more, as well as more entries from individuals and groups on foot to really add to the carnival atmosphere.

“We’re expecting veteran and vintage vehicles and a mediaeval group of swordsmen and jousters. We’ve also recruited a group of people in electric wheelchairs and gophers who will jazz up their vehicles with riotous decorations, and we’re also encouraging bike riders of all ages to decorate their bikes and take part, as well as people of different cultures in traditional dress, dancers, skateboarders – the possibilities are as big as your imagination.”

Prizes this year are: Best commercial float $500, the best community group float $500 and the best recycled theme float $500, while the individual prizes for best decorated kids bike is a new bike from Revolutions Geraldton and the best decorated gopher prize is $200.00.

Julian said the parade was an excellent way for businesses and community groups to showcase their organisation, and have a blast while they are at it.

“It’s a really fun-filled way of advertising your business or community or sporting group,” Julian said.

“And the more outrageous your entry, the more attention you’ll command.”

Entry fees are $75 for commercial and $50 for NFP/community group and entry for children’s decorated bikes and individually decorated gophers are free.

Completed float parade entry form should be lodged no later than Monday September 15. Entry forms can be downloaded from the website www.sunshinefestival.com.au or by contacting festival coordinators - Event Nation on 08 9964 6088.

City launch Disability Campaign

You may have noticed some of the faces around town.

And now they will beam at you from posters strategically positioned in Greater Geraldton to celebrate the City’s Disability Campaign.

The City of Greater Geraldton has teamed up with local service providers to develop a series of posters which reinforce a positive, inclusive attitude across the community. The posters were developed using positive images of local people with disability in locations around the City.

The project was made possible with support of the Mid West Community Living Association, Transition Programs, Disability Services Commission and Durack Institute of Technology.

City Mayor, Ian Carpenter, officially launched the campaign on Wednesday August 2o.

“The campaign both celebrates the human condition as diverse and recognises we are all part of a community which welcomes, supports, values and celebrates diversity and our individual differences,” Mr Carpenter said.

Be aware: trend in local burglaries

Local police have identified an emerging trend developing in Geraldton relating to burglary offences.

Police identified that offenders are knocking on front doors of residential premises under the pretence of returning copies of the local newspapers that they have found in the front yard or driveway.

It seems the intention is to distract the occupants whilst co-offenders are going to the rear of the premises, entering through open doors and stealing items.

Other identified methods of a similar nature are that offenders may attend the front door and ask for directions or request a drink of water – again with the intention of distracting the occupants and stealing property.

Police are requesting that if members of the public are subject to persons attending addresses for these or seemingly unrelated issues to immediately contact police.

Former Geraldton man charged over death of Indonesian woman

Former Geraldton man Jake Drage has been charged by Indonesian police with reckless driving causing death.

The 23-year-old could face a maximum of six years in jail and/or a maximum fine of $1,100 if found guilty.

Jake was in Indonesia on a surfing trip when the accident occurred.

In a previous interview with Jake's mother, Tiena, she described the incident to Everything Geraldton.

“He was on a motor bike, behind a little truck” Tiena says.

"They were facing up a hill and the truck came to a complete stop. Jake was concerned the small truck might roll back on top of him. There were no lines or markings on the road at all.

“He’s nudged his head and the front of the bike out a small amount, perhaps a foot, to try and see if it was safe to pass the stationary truck. All of a sudden a motorbike with two people on it was there and clipped Jake’s bike.

“The bike was being driven by a 16 year old girl, and her mother was on the back not wearing a helmet.

“Jake said the girl panicked when she saw Jake. Their bike crashed an the mother on the back of the bike was taken to hospital.”

Jake has been held in Indonesian Custody since the accident which occurred on June 30th. They are awaiting a trial date.

New Telstra mobile site turned on in Geraldton

A new Telstra mobile site has just been turned on in Geraldton and Geraldton MLA Ian Blayney, says the new site will  improve ‘in building’ coverage and increased capacity to important areas of the city.

The new mobile site coverage will provide improved in building coverage and capacity to areas such as Point Moore, Belair Caravan Park near Pages Beach, Durack Institute, the Geraldton wharf and fishing boat harbour plus importantly our two Geraldton hospitals.

Mr Blayney said Telstra Country Wide Area General Manager Tony Carmichael had advised him of the news today straight after the site was turned on.

Central Greenough declared gasfield free

Central Greenough has become the first community in WA to declare itself Gasfield Free in a clear statement to mining companies that fracking and other forms of unconventional gas extraction are not welcome in the area.

Spokesperson for Frack Free Geraldton Jo Franklin, said the declaration followed months of community consultation and doorknocking.

“We knocked on every door in Central Greenough to ask the residents if they would like to declare their road gasfield free. The result was an overwhelming yes with more than 96 per cent of people saying they supported the concept of becoming a Gasfield Free Community,” Ms Franklin said.

“Gasfield Free Communities began in northern NSW two years ago and have since spread virally around the nation with more than 3 million hectares of agricultural land already declared Gasfield Free in NSW alone.

“A Gasfield Free Community declaration means that gas companies do not have a social licence to operate in the area. Communities  around Australia are declaring themselves No Go Zones for gas drilling and exploration.

“Fracking is not safe and is not welcome. Communities like central Greenough are coming together to say “we will protect our land, our water and our future” by locking the gate to frackers and other gas miners.

“What we are witnessing is a mass social movement of ordinary people who are willing to stand up for their rights and the protection of their livelihoods and that of their grandchildren against the invasive march of the gas companies.

“Central Greenough is just the first of many communities in WA who are likely to declare their communities and their precious water resources off limits to fracking.”

Retired soldier creates amazing artwork

Old soldiers never die... They just take up art and produce amazing works. Since retiring many years ago, former British paratrooper David Burns has been turning out highly-detailed military works to commemorate the fallen.

His latest offering, to Geraldton RSL Club members who served in Vietnam, is in the pipeline.  David, 73, of Mount Tarcoola, hoped to have it ready by next Monday's Vietnam Veterans Day ceremony, but sometimes schedules just don't work as planned.

"I'd only just recently finished a work honouring the ANZACS in time for ANZAC Day, so to have another one ready in time for this month was just a bit rushed," David said.

The research alone took David more than a month and he estimates the finished product is another three months away. That's understandable, given the planning and detail that goes into each work.

Measuring a metre by a half metre, the works are a cross between art and heraldry, incorporating layered paint and embossing. It's immensely detailed work but is a labour of love for David, who spent more than 10 years in the British Army, serving served in Germany, Cyprus and Libya. An engineer by profession, David now devotes his time to his love of the Military through the Geraldton RSL.

"We only moved to Geraldton a year ago and the club has been really supportive of my work," David said.

Once the Vietnam tribute is finished, David will produce a tribute to the Mid West's aboriginal servicemen and women.

"It's really keeping me busy but I don't mind, as it's a great hobby and it's serving a valuable purpose, with everything going into the club's museum," David said.

The club is likely to have an official unveiling at next year's Vietnam Veterans' Day. Meantime, next Monday's (18 AUG) Dawn Service starts at 7am at the city's War Memorial, outside the club at 46 Chapman Road. Members of the public are invited to attend, with the address to be given by club president Ross Davies, a Vietnam Veteran.

Missy Higgins announces Geraldton show

Beloved Aussie singer/songwriter Missy Higgins has just announced a one-off Australian tour called OZ and she will hit the Geraldton stage on October 15th.

The announcement of this special concert series follows hot on the heels of two other major Missy announcements. Firstly she revealed that she is due to give birth to her first child in early January (hence her strictly limited touring plans). Secondly she just unveiled a brand new album of eclectic Australian cover versions and a companion book of essays. Both the album and the book are called OZ.

OZ - the album, and OZ – the book, will be released on September 19.

Now comes news that OZ ... the tour ... will commence in Cairns the day after these book and album releases. Fittingly the strictly limited tour will then take the ARIA Award winning singer/songwriter right around Australia before finishing in her hometown of Melbourne on October 29.

The concerts will see Missy combining some OZ songs with her own classics such as “The Special Two”, “Scar”, Steer”, “Where I Stood”, “Unashamed Desire” and Everyone’s Waiting”.

Special guest on the tour will be acclaimed young singer/songwriter, Dustin Tebbutt whose evocative songs “The Breach” and “Bones” have made him one of triple j’s most played new Australian artists.

Also appearing on most dates will be Jherek Bischoff who co-produced OZ. Jherek has worked with leading innovators including David Byrne (Talking Heads) and Amanda Palmer.

Explaining the OZ project Missy said, “I wanted to put together a group of wonderful Australian songs just as a different sort of challenge. I wanted to avoid all the obvious ones though because “Great Aussie Songbook” collections have kinda been done to death. All that mattered was whether I felt I could make the songs my own so the tracklisting ended up as a real mixed bag of lollies.”

“Then I thought it might be fun to also try writing some essays to accompany the music in various ways and that lead to the book.”

“The essays and the music are meant to be enjoyed together like I’m nattering away while the album plays. But, of course, if people just want to just enjoy them separately then that’s fine too.”

Most local listeners will probably already be familiar with classic OZ songs like Paul Kelly’s “Before Too Long” or The Angels “No Secrets”. However, this will be many people’s first encounter with gifted composers like Sydney taxi driver Perry Keyes (“NYE”) or Melbourne art-rock combo The Drones (whose epic “Shark Fin Blues” is one of the album’s centerpieces). Then there’s works like the indigenous anthem “Blackfella/Whitefella” and Slim Dusty/Joy McKean's country classic “The Biggest Disappointment” which deserve to be heard outside the communities in which they’re already iconic.

Throw in critically acclaimed artists like The Go Betweens (“Was There Anything I Could Do?"), Don Walker (“The Way You Are Tonight”), Neil Murray (“Calm & Crystal Clear”) and Something For Kate (“You Only Hide”) plus the accompanying book and it’s clear that OZ is not ’just another covers album'.

Over the last decade Missy Higgins has become one of our most beloved singer/songwriters. Her three previous albums, The Sound of White, On a Clear Night and The Ol’ Razzle Dazzle, have sold more than a million copies. They’ve each gone to #1 on the Australian charts and each has also been recognised with ARIA Awards.

Missy Higgins will play to a Geraldton audience on Wednesday, October 15th at the Queens Park Theatre.

Rowers smash two World Records

Victorian policeman Tim Spiteri and his crew of fellow rowers have broken two world records for the fastest-ever crossing of the Indian Ocean in a rowing boat. They also achieved the longest rowing record having arrived in the Seychelles at 14:58 on August 7.

The rowers set out from Geraldton, on June 11 and have covered almost 6,800 kms to the Seychelles in just 57 days. The crew aboard the Rossiter’s Avalon, an Ocean Row Events vessel, completed the longest distance ever rowed by a team, as well as claiming the first ever oar-powered voyage from Geraldton to the Seychelles.

Tim’s motivation to embark on such an audacious voyage was to raise funds for multiple sclerosis, inspired by his mother Rhonda who has been living with MS for the last 30 years. Tim’s target is $250,000 and he has raised over $30,000.

“It’s been an incredible journey both physically and mentally and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved despite the setbacks and adverse conditions," Tim said.

"The trials and challenges we faced on the Indian Ocean pale into insignificance compared with what people with multiple sclerosis go through."

Since Tim and his crew set off on this incredible ocean voyage they have battled some difficult challenges including changes to their original destination of Durban, South Africa due to extreme weather conditions. Subsequent plans were made for the voyage to conclude at Mombasa, Kenya, however, the crew were advised to divert their course to the Seychelles aboard mounting concerns of piracy attacks.

To compound these adversities, their boat was also hit by a 15 metre whale, however, thankfully no one was hurt and there was no damage to the Avalon. And a few weeks ago, one of their crew members, Shane Usher, was rescued by a cargo ship after receiving severe hot water burns. He is now safely back in Melbourne and his burns are healing well.

The boat’s automatic steering system also recently broke down, which meant Constable Spiteri and Captain Leven Brown, the two with the required expertise, were forced to steer manually for the rest of the journey. With one man down and two on steering, it left the four remaining crew members to rotate on the oars two at a time for two hours per shift and only 80 minutes rest in between.

Do you know the laws when it comes to child car restraints?

When it comes to driving with children as passengers, safety couldn't be more important.

Every year around 127 WA children aged up to 16 years old are killed or seriously injured, when the vehicle they are travelling in is involved in an accident. According to the Office of Road Safety, on average, 16% of those children would not have been in the appropriate child car restraint.

In many cases, deaths and injuries have been prevented by the correct purchase, installation and appropriate use of child car restraints.

Do you know the laws?

On October 1 2010, new laws came into effect that introduced rules for children in vehicles.

The laws reduce the risk of injury caused by the use of unsuitable restraints for a child’s size by specifying the type of restraint to be used at different ages and where children must be seated in a vehicle.

The laws require children from:

• Birth to under 6 months to be restrained in a rearward facing child restraint (e.g. infant capsule).
• 6 months to under 4 years to be restrained in either a rearward or forward facing child restraint with in-built harness.
• 4 years to under 7 years to be restrained in either a forward facing child restraint or booster seat restrained by a correctly adjusted and fastened seat belt or child safety harness.

Also, children under 4 years are not allowed to sit in the front seat of a vehicle with two or more rows of seats, and those from 4 years to under 7 years are only allowed to sit in the front seats if all rear seats are occupied by children less than 7 years of age.

Children 7 years and over can be restrained in an adult seat belt or booster seat.
